With 11 foreign languages under her belt, 68-year-old villager-turned tour guide Xu Xiuzhen has become a celebrity in the town of Yangshuo.
Xu was born in a poor family at the base of Moon Hill. In the late 1970s, Yangshuo became one of the country’s first tourist destinations to welcome foreign visitors after China’s reform and opening up in 1978. “I began to see more foreign faces near Mt. Moon, and locals who spoke some English sold more bottled water than me,” said Xu. “No English, no money.“ With the influx of foreign guests in Yangshuo, a large number of villagers sought opportunities to learn English given the booming tourism market. Xu eagerly joined the craze. At that time, she made a living on farming and occasionally sold bottled water to tourists near Mt. Moon.
Over the past 16 years, Xu never stops learning and has taught herself 11 foreign languages, including English, Spanish, Japanese and Korean. But the polyglot farmer’s success has been hard-won. She started learning simple English phrases 16 years ago. I used Pinyin to memorize the pronunciation of English words, but my strong southern accent made it quite difficult to understand,” said Xu. So, I turned to foreign visitors for help, and I always appreciate their feedback because they have helped me correct my word choices and pronunciation.“
Not content to simply serve as a tour guide, she now owns a popular restaurant and operates a reputable hotel. Huang Yongzhong, director of Yangshuo’s tourism bureau, said Xu’s success has encouraged many farmers to follow suit. He added that the government supports local tour guides by providing frequent training on the laws and regulations of the tourism industry. Farmers in Yangshuo are passionate, sincere and hard-working, and this spirit will lead to more success stories like that of her, he said.
4. What does the underlined word “craze” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Learning English. B. Living by farming.
C. Selling bottled water. D. Welcoming foreign visitors.
5. According to Paragraph 3, Xu learnt English by the following means EXCEPT______.
A. making use of Pinyin B. imitating southern accent
C. learning from foreigners’ feedback D. polishing the pronunciation of words
6. What is the government’s attitude towards Xu’s success
A. Neutral. B. Skeptical. C. Positive. D. Cautious.
7. What is the most suitable title for this passage
A Practice makes perfect B. It’s never too old to learn
C. Don’t judge a book by its cover D. The “late” bird strives to catch the worm
C
More than one million fewer students are enrolled in college now than before the pandemic began. According to new data released Thursday, U.S. colleges and universities saw a drop of nearly 500,000 undergraduate students in the fall of 2021, continuing a historic decline that began the previous fall.
“It’s very frightening,” says Doug Shapiro, who leads the research center at the National Student Clearinghouse, where the new data comes from. “Far from filling the hole of 2020’s enrollment declines, we are still digging it deeper.”
“The easiest assumption is that they’re out there working,” says Shapiro. “Unemployment is down. The labor market is good. Wages are rising for workers in low-skilled jobs. So if you have a high school diploma, this seems like a pretty good time to be out there making some money.”
Wages at the bottom of the economy have increased dramatically, making minimum-wage jobs especially appealing to young people as an alternative to college. In December, for example, jobs for non-managers working in leisure and hospitality paid 15% more than a year ago, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“It’s very tempting for high school graduates, but the fear is that they are trading a short-term gain for a long-term loss,” Shapiro says. “And the longer they stay away from college, you know, life starts to happen and it becomes harder and harder to start thinking about yourself going back into a classroom.”
For Brian Williams, who graduated from high school early in the pandemic, the long-term plan is to go to college. He postponed enrolling in 2020 because he was tired of remote learning; instead, he got a job at a Jimmy John’s sandwich store near his home in the suburbs of Houston so he could start saving up.
“It’s so hard,” he says. “I’m just like, ‘Wow, if I go to school, I’m going to take time off and I’m not going to have any money for things I need.’” He had toyed with the idea of starting community college (美国两年制的社区学院) in the new year but is now thinking he’ll start next fall, to give himself another eight months to save up.
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To present the latest study on college students. B. To warn readers of the declining enrollment.
C. To cite statistics to lead to the topic. D. To set a pessimistic tone for the passage.
9. Which statement will Doug Shapiro probably agree with
A. Earning a living always comes first.
B. University education is unnecessary.
C. There is little discrimination against low-skilled jobs.
D. Giving up education over money is shortsighted.
10. What can be inferred about Brian Williams
A. He finds it hard to give up a paycheck. B. He accepts nothing but in-person learning.
C. He plans to save up for going to college this year. D. He tends to treat his education rather seriously.
11. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To explain enrollment process. B. To promote college education.
C. To help with government decision. D. To report on a social phenomenon.
D
The old advice to dress for the job you want, not the job you have, may have roots in more than simply how others perceive you—many studies show that the clothes you wear can affect your mental and physical performance.
If you want to be a big-ideas person at work, suit up. A paper in Social Psychological and Personality Science asked subjects to change into formal or casual clothing before cognitive (认知的) tests. Wearing formal business clothes increased abstract thinking－an important aspect of creativity and long-term strategizing. The experiments suggest the effect is related to feelings of power.
Informal clothing may hurt in negotiations. In a study reported in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, male subjects wore their usual clothes or were placed in a suit or in sweats. Then they engaged in a game that involved negotiating with a partner. Those who dressed up obtained more profitable deals than the other two groups, and those who dressed down had lower hormone (荷尔蒙) levels.
Trying too hard to look sharp can backfire. When women came with expensive sunglasses and were told their glasses were counterfeit (仿冒的), as opposed to when they thought they were real, they cheated more often on lab experiments. Authors of the study, published in Psychological Science, theorize that fake glasses increase unethical behavior by making their wearers feel less authentic.
It’s not news to anyone that we judge others based on their clothes. In general, studies that investigate these judgments find that people prefer clothing that matches expectations－surgeons in scrubs (外科手术服), police officers in uniforms—with one notable exception. A series of studies published in the Journal of Consumer Research explored observers’ reactions to people who broke established norms only slightly.
In one scenario, a man at a black-tie affair was viewed as having higher status and competence when wearing a red bow tie. The researchers also found that valuing uniqueness increased audience members’ ratings of the status and competence of a professor who wore red Converse sneakers while giving a lecture. The results suggest that people judge these slight differences from the norm as positive because they suggest that the individual is powerful enough to risk the social costs of such behaviors.
12. What does the author want to explain by mentioning the old advice
A. The causes of wearing formally. B. The right way of suiting up.
C. The impact of dressing well. D. The misunderstanding about dress code.
13. According to the second and third paragraphs, why should one dress up
A. To activate creativity. B. To enhance performance.
C. To earn more profits. D. To control negotiations.
14. What does the underlined sentence mean in the fourth paragraph
A. Wearing expensive items can be risky. B. Looking fashionable can send a wrong message.
C. Overdressing may produce opposite results. D. Dressing up may appear not genuine.
15. What can we learn from the studies in the Journal of Consumer Research
A. Most people judge a book by its cover. B. Powerful people can ignore social norms.
C. Red is usually associated with higher status. D. It is favorable to dress a bit differently.

Thirty Cents Worth
Whispering voices and laughter filled the hallways of my school as I walked with my friend toward our next class. I resisted the impulse (冲动) to become yet another person using these few moments to judge others in order to make myself feel better. I repeated to myself, “Thirty cents”, as I continued to walk in silence, something I rarely did. My friend dug her elbow into my side and complained, “That’s just annoying. Why would anyone want blue hair It’s unbearable!” I thought before my tongue sprang into action. Ordinarily, I would just give the expected giggle and nod-but for some reason, I hesitated this time.
My thoughts turned back to the previous Sunday afternoon. After flying through the house grabbing and tossing things into my soccer bag, I discovered that I was out of Blister—Block Band-Aids (防起泡创可贴),an essential for the next day’s game. My mom dropped me off and promised me she’d be right back. I rushed inside and grabbed the goods.
There was a line at the register, as usual, and I waited my turn. I slowed down for a minute and examined the man in front of me. I was shocked. He was old and had a smell of gasoline and cigarettes. His hair was messy and reached below his shoulders. He wore a red vest covered with dust and jeans faded beyond recognition. His blue eyes were glassy and tired, and his dark red face was deeply wrinkled by hard times.
He reached the counter and greeted the saleswoman with a nod. She turned away her eyes as he pointed to the cigarettes behind the counter. She grabbed the carton (香烟纸盒) he was pointing to and quickly rang him up (用收银机收下了钱). He grabbed the plastic bag and slowly walked away.
Hardly had he left the counter when I gave her four one-dollar bills and the Band-Aids as she nodded in agreement with my disgust.
“Sorry,” she said. “You’re thirty cents short.”
“Oh, no. I don’t have thirty cents! My mom isn’t here. She’ll be right back. Can I run out to the car real quick ” As I was trying to explain my case, the cashier was visibly annoyed by the delay I was causing.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I could feel the blood rush to my face as the people behind me in line started complaining.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“That’s okay. It’s only thirty cents,“ the man said with a warm smile and a wink.

With 11 foreign languages under her belt, 68-year-old villager-turned tour guide Xu Xiuzhen has become a celebrity in the town of Yangshuo.
Xu was born in a poor family at the base of Moon Hill. In the late 1970s, Yangshuo became one of the country’s first tourist destinations to welcome foreign visitors after China’s reform and opening up in 1978. “I began to see more foreign faces near Mt. Moon, and locals who spoke some English sold more bottled water than me,” said Xu. “No English, no money.“ With the influx of foreign guests in Yangshuo, a large number of villagers sought opportunities to learn English given the booming tourism market. Xu eagerly joined the craze. At that time, she made a living on farming and occasionally sold bottled water to tourists near Mt. Moon.
Over the past 16 years, Xu never stops learning and has taught herself 11 foreign languages, including English, Spanish, Japanese and Korean. But the polyglot farmer’s success has been hard-won. She started learning simple English phrases 16 years ago. I used Pinyin to memorize the pronunciation of English words, but my strong southern accent made it quite difficult to understand,” said Xu. So, I turned to foreign visitors for help, and I always appreciate their feedback because they have helped me correct my word choices and pronunciation.“
Not content to simply serve as a tour guide, she now owns a popular restaurant and operates a reputable hotel. Huang Yongzhong, director of Yangshuo’s tourism bureau, said Xu’s success has encouraged many farmers to follow suit. He added that the government supports local tour guides by providing frequent training on the laws and regulations of the tourism industry. Farmers in Yangshuo are passionate, sincere and hard-working, and this spirit will lead to more success stories like that of her, he said.
4. What does the underlined word “craze” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Learning English. B. Living by farming.
C. Selling bottled water. D. Welcoming foreign visitors.
5. According to Paragraph 3, Xu learnt English by the following means EXCEPT______.
A. making use of Pinyin B. imitating southern accent
C. learning from foreigners’ feedback D. polishing the pronunciation of words
6. What is the government’s attitude towards Xu’s success
A. Neutral. B. Skeptical. C. Positive. D. Cautious.
7. What is the most suitable title for this passage
A. Practice makes perfect B. It’s never too old to learn
C. Don’t judge a book by its cover D. The “late” bird strives to catch the worm
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D

【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了阳朔68岁村民导游徐秀珍精通11门外语并收获成功以及激励当地村民的故事。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。由该词所在句前句“With the influx of foreign guests in Yangshuo, a large number of villagers sought opportunities to learn English given the booming tourism market.”（随着外国客人涌入阳朔，在旅游市场蓬勃发展的情况下，大量村民寻求学习英语的机会。）可知，随着国外的游客不断涌入，阳朔当地的旅游业蓬勃发展，当地村民积极寻求机会学习英语以更好地服务国外游客，徐秀珍也加入了学习英语的行列之中。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由文第三段第三句“I used Pinyin to memorize the pronunciation of English words, but my strong southern accent made it quite difficult to understand,” said Xu.”（徐说：“我用拼音来记住英语单词的发音，但我浓重的南方口音让我很难理解。”。）可知，徐秀珍借助拼音来记英文单词的发音，但是她浓厚的南方口音让别人很难理解她的英语，而不是B项所表述的模仿南方口音。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由文末段第二、三句“Huang Yongzhong, director of Yangshuo’s tourism bureau, said Xu’s success has encouraged many farmers to follow suit. He added that the government supports local tour guides by providing frequent training on the laws and regulations of the tourism industry.”（阳朔市旅游局局长黄永忠说，许的成功鼓励了许多农民效仿。他补充说，政府通过经常提供旅游业法律法规培训来支持当地导游。）可知，当地政府官员认为徐秀珍的成功激励了很多人学习英语，并且政府大力支持当地的导游，为他们提供旅游业规章制度的培训。因此，政府对于徐秀珍的成功事迹的态度是积极的、正向的。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。由文第一段“With 11 foreign languages under her belt, 68-year-old villager-turned tour guide Xu Xiuzhen has become a celebrity in the town of Yangshuo.”（68岁的村民、导游徐秀珍精通11门外语，在阳朔镇成了名人。）和末段末句“Farmers in Yangshuo are passionate, sincere and hard-working, and this spirit will lead to more success stories like that of her, he said.”（他说，阳朔的农民热情、真诚、勤劳，这种精神将为她创造更多的成功故事。）以及纵观全文可知，本文讲述了阳朔的当地导游徐秀珍，尽管已经68岁，却通过自己的努力自学11门外语发家致富的故事。作者在文章的最后一段歌颂了徐秀珍的成功事迹，并表示徐秀珍的成功将会激励更多人努力实现自己的目标，故选D项。

More than one million fewer students are enrolled in college now than before the pandemic began. According to new data released Thursday, U.S. colleges and universities saw a drop of nearly 500,000 undergraduate students in the fall of 2021, continuing a historic decline that began the previous fall.
“It’s very frightening,” says Doug Shapiro, who leads the research center at the National Student Clearinghouse, where the new data comes from. “Far from filling the hole of 2020’s enrollment declines, we are still digging it deeper.”
“The easiest assumption is that they’re out there working,” says Shapiro. “Unemployment is down. The labor market is good. Wages are rising for workers in low-skilled jobs. So if you have a high school diploma, this seems like a pretty good time to be out there making some money.”
Wages at the bottom of the economy have increased dramatically, making minimum-wage jobs especially appealing to young people as an alternative to college. In December, for example, jobs for non-managers working in leisure and hospitality paid 15% more than a year ago, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“It’s very tempting for high school graduates, but the fear is that they are trading a short-term gain for a long-term loss,” Shapiro says. “And the longer they stay away from college, you know, life starts to happen and it becomes harder and harder to start thinking about yourself going back into a classroom.”
For Brian Williams, who graduated from high school early in the pandemic, the long-term plan is to go to college. He postponed enrolling in 2020 because he was tired of remote learning; instead, he got a job at a Jimmy John’s sandwich store near his home in the suburbs of Houston so he could start saving up.
“It’s so hard,” he says. “I’m just like, ‘Wow, if I go to school, I’m going to take time off and I’m not going to have any money for things I need.’” He had toyed with the idea of starting community college (美国两年制的社区学院) in the new year but is now thinking he’ll start next fall, to give himself another eight months to save up.
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To present the latest study on college students. B. To warn readers of the declining enrollment.
C. To cite statistics to lead to the topic. D. To set a pessimistic tone for the passage.
9. Which statement will Doug Shapiro probably agree with
A. Earning a living always comes first.
B. University education is unnecessary.
C. There is little discrimination against low-skilled jobs.
D. Giving up education over money is shortsighted.
10. What can be inferred about Brian Williams
A. He finds it hard to give up a paycheck. B. He accepts nothing but in-person learning.
C. He plans to save up for going to college this year. D. He tends to treat his education rather seriously.
11. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To explain enrollment process. B. To promote college education.
C. To help with government decision. D. To report on a social phenomenon.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】

According to new data released Thursday, U.S. colleges and universities saw a drop of nearly 500,000 undergraduate students in the fall of 2021, continuing a historic decline that began the previous fall.(与大流行开始前相比，现在的大学入学人数减少了100多万。根据周四公布的新数据，美国高校在2021年秋季减少了近50万名本科生，延续了去年秋季开始的历史性下降趋势)”可推知，第一段的目的是引用统计数据来引出话题。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段““It’s very tempting for high school graduates, but the fear is that they are trading a short-term gain for a long-term loss,” Shapiro says. “And the longer they stay away from college, you know, life starts to happen and it becomes harder and harder to start thinking about yourself going back into a classroom.”(夏皮罗说：“这对高中毕业生来说非常诱人，但令人担心的是，他们是在用短期收益换取长期损失。他们离开大学的时间越长，你知道，生活开始发生，开始考虑自己回到教室变得越来越困难。”)”可知，Doug Shapiro认同为了钱而放弃教育是目光短浅的。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““It’s so hard,” he says. “I’m just like, ‘Wow, if I go to school, I’m going to take time off and I’m not going to have any money for things I need.’”(“这太难了，”他说。“我就想，‘哇，如果我去上学，我就得请假，我就没钱买我需要的东西了。’”)”可推知，布莱恩·威廉姆斯觉得放弃一份薪水很难。故选A。

The old advice to dress for the job you want, not the job you have, may have roots in more than simply how others perceive you—many studies show that the clothes you wear can affect your mental and physical performance.
If you want to be a big-ideas person at work, suit up. A paper in Social Psychological and Personality Science asked subjects to change into formal or casual clothing before cognitive (认知的) tests. Wearing formal business clothes increased abstract thinking－an important aspect of creativity and long-term strategizing. The experiments suggest the effect is related to feelings of power.
Informal clothing may hurt in negotiations. In a study reported in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, male subjects wore their usual clothes or were placed in a suit or in sweats. Then they engaged in a game that involved negotiating with a partner. Those who dressed up obtained more profitable deals than the other two groups, and those who dressed down had lower hormone (荷尔蒙) levels.
Trying too hard to look sharp can backfire. When women came with expensive sunglasses and were told their glasses were counterfeit (仿冒的), as opposed to when they thought they were real, they cheated more often on lab experiments. Authors of the study, published in Psychological Science, theorize that fake glasses increase unethical behavior by making their wearers feel less authentic.
It’s not news to anyone that we judge others based on their clothes. In general, studies that investigate these judgments find that people prefer clothing that matches expectations－surgeons in scrubs (外科手术服), police officers in uniforms—with one notable exception. A series of studies published in the Journal of Consumer Research explored observers’ reactions to people who broke established norms only slightly.
In one scenario, a man at a black-tie affair was viewed as having higher status and competence when wearing a red bow tie. The researchers also found that valuing uniqueness increased audience members’ ratings of the status and competence of a professor who wore red Converse sneakers while giving a lecture. The results suggest that people judge these slight differences from the norm as positive because they suggest that the individual is powerful enough to risk the social costs of such behaviors.
12. What does the author want to explain by mentioning the old advice
A. The causes of wearing formally. B. The right way of suiting up.
C. The impact of dressing well. D. The misunderstanding about dress code.
13. According to the second and third paragraphs, why should one dress up
A. To activate creativity. B. To enhance performance.
C. To earn more profits. D. To control negotiations.
14. What does the underlined sentence mean in the fourth paragraph
A. Wearing expensive items can be risky. B. Looking fashionable can send a wrong message.
C. Overdressing may produce opposite results. D. Dressing up may appear not genuine.
15. What can we learn from the studies in the Journal of Consumer Research
A. Most people judge a book by its cover. B. Powerful people can ignore social norms.
C. Red is usually associated with higher status. D. It is favorable to dress a bit differently.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了穿着对人的精神和身体表现的影响以及与穿着相关的研究和发现。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The old advice to dress for the job you want, not the job you have, may have roots in more than simply how others perceive you—many studies show that the clothes you wear can affect your mental and physical performance.(“为你想要的工作而着装，而不是为你现在的工作而着装”这一古老的建议，其根源可能不仅仅在于别人如何看待你——许多研究表明，你穿的衣服会影响你的精神和身体表现)”可推知，作者提及这条老建议是想要解释一个人的着装可以影响其精神和身体表现。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Wearing formal business clothes increased abstract thinking－an important aspect of creativity and long-term strategizing.(穿正式的商务服装提高了抽象思考能力——创造力与长期战略能力的一个重要方面)”以及第三段中“Those who dressed up obtained more profitable deals than the other two groups, and those who dressed down had lower hormone (荷尔蒙) levels.(穿得正式的人相比于其他两组敲定了利润更丰厚的单子，那些穿得不太正式的人的荷尔蒙水平则偏低)”可知，一个人穿得正式的原因是这样做可以提升在工作中的表现。故选B。
【14题详解】
句意猜测题。根据划线句后文“When women came with expensive sunglasses and were told their glasses were counterfeit (仿冒的), as opposed to when they thought they were real, they cheated more often on lab experiments.”可知，当女性戴着昂贵的太阳镜，并被告知她们的眼镜是假的（与她们认为是真的相反），她们在实验室实验中更容易作弊。由此可知，过度穿着可能适得其反。故划线句意思是过度穿着可能适得其反。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In one scenario, a man at a black-tie affair was viewed as having higher status and competence when wearing a red bow tie. The researchers also found that valuing uniqueness increased audience members’ ratings of the status and competence of a professor who wore red Converse sneakers while giving a lecture. The results suggest that people judge these slight differences from the norm as positive because they suggest that the individual is powerful enough to risk the social costs of such behaviors.(在其中一个场景中，一名男子在正式场合佩戴红色领结时，被认为具有更高的地位和能力。研究人员还发现，对于穿着红色匡威运动鞋讲课的教授，重视独特性会提高听众对他的地位和能力的评价。研究结果表明，人们认为这些与规范的细微差异是积极的，因为它们表明，个人足够强大，可以承担这种行为的社会成本)”可知，《消费者研究》杂志上的研究告诉我们：穿着稍微不同一点是有利的。故选D。

【18题详解】
根据上文“Passion isn’t just a pipe dream.(激情不是白日梦)”中的“just”表明，激情不仅仅只是白日梦，因此此处需要补充一个“激情真正是什么”才能使意思连贯。根据下文“No one wants to do work that makes them feel like a zombie!(没有人想做让自己感觉像僵尸一样的工作！)”可知，激情在工作中扮演着重要的角色。故F选项“这是做一份对你有意义的工作的一个非常真实和必要的部分”符合语境，故选F。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了印度的排灯节。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：排灯节，又称灯节，是印度教为纪念财富女神拉克希米而庆祝的节日。分析句子结构可知，设空处应用非谓语形式作后置定语，festival和observe之间是逻辑上的被动关系，应用过去分词形式，故填 observed。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它长期以来一直是一个文化节日，在此期间，人们聚在一起，举行聚会，互赠礼物并且普遍祈祷能拥有一个更加富裕的未来。此处为“介词+关系代词”结构非限制性定语从句修饰先行词，a cultural holiday，作介词的宾语，指物，故填which。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。better-off future表泛指，应用不定冠词修饰，且better-off的发音以辅音音素开头，因此用不定冠词a，故填a。
【39题详解】
考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：对一些群体来说，排灯节的第二天标志着新年的开始。设空处作句子谓语，此处描述客观事实，时态应用一般现在时，主语的中心语the day是单数，因此谓语也应用第三人称单数形式，故填marks。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：该节日日期每年都会改变，因为日期是基于印度教的阴历而定的，但该节日通常在10月或11月庆祝。设空处应用副词typically作状语，修饰后半句内容。故填typically。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：庆祝活动通常持续几天。设空处作句子主语，此处表示“庆祝活动”，应用名词。由后面的“lasts”可知，此处用单数，故填celebration。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：人们往往会在他们的房子里和车道边放上蜡烛和灯来照亮周围的环境。分析句子结构可知light此处应用不定式表目的，故填to light。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：对印度教徒来说，排灯节是一个慈善捐赠和无私服务的日子。a time for意为“……的时间”，此处也可用of，表示time的属性，故填for/of。
【44题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：他们被要求仔细思考他们所感激的事物，以及他们如何能照亮他人。分析句子结构可知，设空处引导宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，表示“……的事物”，因此设空处应用引导词what，故填what。
【45题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态及主谓一致。句意：按照传统风俗，印度教徒会对他们的家和周围环境进行深度清洁，因为清洁被认为是祈求财富和幸福的象征。分析句子结构可知，设空处在as引导的原因状语从句中作谓语，且与从句主语cleanliness之间为被动关系，故用被动语态。此处描述客观情况，应用一般现在时，且cleanliness是不可数名词，谓语应用第三人称单数形式。故填 is believed。

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。
Thirty Cents Worth
Whispering voices and laughter filled the hallways of my school as I walked with my friend toward our next class. I resisted the impulse (冲动) to become yet another person using these few moments to judge others in order to make myself feel better. I repeated to myself, “Thirty cents”, as I continued to walk in silence, something I rarely did. My friend dug her elbow into my side and complained, “That’s just annoying. Why would anyone want blue hair It’s unbearable!” I thought before my tongue sprang into action. Ordinarily, I would just give the expected giggle and nod-but for some reason, I hesitated this time.
My thoughts turned back to the previous Sunday afternoon. After flying through the house grabbing and tossing things into my soccer bag, I discovered that I was out of Blister—Block Band-Aids (防起泡创可贴),an essential for the next day’s game. My mom dropped me off and promised me she’d be right back. I rushed inside and grabbed the goods.
There was a line at the register, as usual, and I waited my turn. I slowed down for a minute and examined the man in front of me. I was shocked. He was old and had a smell of gasoline and cigarettes. His hair was messy and reached below his shoulders. He wore a red vest covered with dust and jeans faded beyond recognition. His blue eyes were glassy and tired, and his dark red face was deeply wrinkled by hard times.
He reached the counter and greeted the saleswoman with a nod. She turned away her eyes as he pointed to the cigarettes behind the counter. She grabbed the carton (香烟纸盒) he was pointing to and quickly rang him up (用收银机收下了钱). He grabbed the plastic bag and slowly walked away.
Hardly had he left the counter when I gave her four one-dollar bills and the Band-Aids as she nodded in agreement with my disgust.
“Sorry,” she said. “You’re thirty cents short.”
“Oh, no. I don’t have thirty cents! My mom isn’t here. She’ll be right back. Can I run out to the car real quick ” As I was trying to explain my case, the cashier was visibly annoyed by the delay I was causing.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I could feel the blood rush to my face as the people behind me in line started complaining.

“That’s okay. It’s only thirty cents,“ the man said with a warm smile and a wink.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
I could feel the blood rush to my face as the people behind me in line started complaining. They looked at each other with the same judgmental eyes I had just shared with the cashier. As I was about to run out of the store without buying the Band-Aids, I got a strong whiff of cigarettes and gasoline. A dirty hand with yellow fingernails placed four nickels and a dime on the counter. I was awestruck and at a loss for words. By the time I came back to my senses, he had already turned and left. I went after him and quickly offered to pay him back.
“That’s okay. It’s only thirty cents” the man said with a warm smile and a wink. His smile was like a beam of light coming from a crack, lighting up my gloomy world. The man I had just perceived as a foul creature did something amazingly kind. When I thought about what I had done before, a million shames washed over me. After that, when I started to judge somebody based on their looks, I would stop and repeat “thirty cents” to myself as a reminder. Whenever I said so, I was amazed to find beauty everywhere.
