【答案】unless;celebrated;significant;playing;in;returns;decorations;when;to catch;a
【解析】本文是一篇記敘文,作者講述了湖南農村的居民如何度過中國傳統(tǒng)的春節(jié)慶;顒。
(1)考查連詞。句意:擔心傳統(tǒng)可能丟失,除非他們得到保護。故填unless” 除非“。
(2)考查非謂語動詞。句意:春節(jié)慶;顒訌霓r歷初一到第十五天。慶祝celebrate與主語(Spring Festival)在邏輯上是動賓關系,此處過去分詞的形式做狀語,故填celebrated 。
(3)考查形容詞。句意:春節(jié)無疑是中國人一年中最重要的文化活動。形容詞修飾名詞,作定語,故填significant。
(4)考查非謂語動詞。句意:每年的節(jié)日都要提前準備,食物起著關鍵作用。介詞with+賓語+賓補,被修飾詞food與play在邏輯上是主謂關系,應用現在分詞作補語,故填playing。
(5)考查固定搭配。in advance固定短語,”提前“。句意:每年的節(jié)日都要提前準備。故填in。
(6)考查主謂一致。句意:向灶神祈禱,這樣他就可以在第二天回到天堂寫一份“年度報告”時對向他祈禱的家庭說些好話。the Kitchen God灶神是單數,用一般現在時的第三人稱單數,故填returns 。
(7)考查名詞。句意:這個節(jié)日是在春節(jié)前放吉祥的裝飾品,放鞭炮,祭拜祖先和熬夜。本空作put up 的賓語,用名詞的復數形式,指各種裝飾品,故填decorations。
(8)考查定語從句。句意:一年中的前一天晚上是節(jié)日的高潮,正是那些在遙遠的城市工作的人(比如我)急忙趕回家吃團圓飯的時候。這是一個選擇性定語從句,修飾先行詞是the night,在定語從句中作時間狀語,故填關系副詞when(=at which)。
(9)考查非謂語動詞。動詞不定式表目的。目的是趕回家吃團圓飯,故填to catch。
(10)考查冠詞。句意:魚,中華文化中繁榮的一個象征,是必須的。此處修飾單數可數名詞symbol prosperity,表示數量一,故填a。

【題目】If you’re ever reading a book or watching a movie and get thedistinctfeeling you’ve come across the story before — or even better, can predict exactly what's going to happen next — there could be a good reason for that.
Researchers from the Computational Story Laboratory at the University of Vermont studied the complete text of some 1,737 fiction worksavailableon Project Gutenberg, an online collection of more than 50,000 digital books in the publicarea. They discovered that English literature consists of just six kinds of emotional arcs (情感弧線) that make up nearly all of the most well-known stories. By analysing thesentiment(情感) of language used in these texts, the researchers were able toshowthe emotional ups and downs for the stories as a whole. They discovered that negativewords like “poverty”, “dead”, and “punishment” dragged the emotion down, whilepositiveterms like “l(fā)ove”, “peace”, and “friend” brought it up.
According to the researchers, those six core (核心的) emotional arcs are:
“Rags to riches”(An ongoing emotional rise)
“Tragedy, or riches to rags”(An ongoing emotional fall)
“Man in a hole”(A fall followed by a rise)
“Icarus”(A rise followed by a fall)
“Cinderella”(Rise–fall–rise)
“Oedipus” (Fall–rise–fall)
Interestingly, based on download statistics from Project Gutenberg, the researchers say the most popular stories are ones that use more complex emotional arcs, with the “Cinderella” and “Oedipus” arcs registering the most downloads. Also popular are works that combine these core arcs together in new ways within one story, such as two“Man in a hole” arcs stuck together, or the “Cinderella” arc coupled with a tragic ending.
【1】Readers often feel familiar when reading a new story because stories have similar ______.
A. beginnings B. endings
C. characters D. emotional arcs
【2】How did researchers carry out their study?
A. By conducting surveys among readers.
B. By reading books borrowed from libraries.
C. By analysing works from an online collection.
D. By interviewing authors of the well-known stories.
【3】Which set of works may drag emotion down?
A. Hope, fortune and riches.
B. Disease, murder and war.
C. Smile, health and beauty.
D. Cold, earthquake and spring.
【4】According to the last paragraph, which kind of works are most popular among readers?
A. Works with an ongoing emotional rise.

【題目】根據短文內容,選擇最佳答案。
I could feel the judging eyes of my family burning a hole into the back of my head as I picked up my phone. All of a sudden, the chattering in the living room died and all I could hear was the sound of the turkey sizzling (發(fā)出嘶嘶聲) in the oven.
“Look at her! She's been on her phone all day long! It's all your fault! Children will never respect elders if they are not taught how to behave! ” my grandmother shouted.
I was very shocked and angry! I opened my mouth to say something, but words failed me and I just sat down quietly on the chair like a mouse in its trap. I thought “Here we go again.” I truly love my family and I would do anything for them. I also know that they would do anything for me as well. However, there are moments that make me feel like they are just stuck with me. They all agree on one thing: technology is wrecking me.
If I am going to be treated like a child or completely ignored, I will most likely not enjoy your company, and I feel like this applies to (適用于) the majority of the people. So I sometimes simply shut myself in my room and listened to the voices coming from the living room, thinking: They all grew up in a world so different that it amazes me how they have actually gotten this far. They did not have phones or any type of advanced technology, which is both good and bad. Bad because they had almost no type of fast communication, and good because they were forced to interact (互動) with one another, which is something today's society is lacking in. However, maybe if they made an effort to be aware of how things work nowadays, they would not be so against everything.
(1)What happened when the author picked up her smart phone?
A.Her family laughed at her.
B.Her family kept silent.
C.She felt like having headache.
D.She smelt something burning.
(2)The underlined word in the third paragraph probably means ________.

A.to do something to please her family
B.to satisfy her family's high expectation
C.to get along with her family in some way
D.to move out or break away from her family
(4)The author uses the last paragraph to show that ________.

【題目】閱讀理解
"I didn't hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. "Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said 'yes' and it was announced again."
It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana — she was still on cloud nine.
"I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.
Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete. "She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her."
One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot..."
As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.
When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."
(1)What do the words "on cloud nine" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.frightened
B.troubled
C.very happy
D.very angry
(2)Shelley takes her dance teachers as a role model mainly because she is ________.
A.determined
B.friendly
C.strict
D.experienced
(3)What suggestion does Shelley give to the teens?
A.Be yourself with the support of friends.
B.Meet friends whenever possible.
C.Go easy on yourself and others.
D.Have a good role model.
