form has only recently burst onto the world scene, 所以該定語(yǔ)從句的先行詞是“classical dance form”，指物，且從句中缺主語(yǔ)。故用 which/that。2an解析：考查冠詞。結(jié)合句意可知，此處指中國(guó)古典舞是一種要求極高、精致且傳神的舞種。空格處表示“一種”，是泛指，且空格后的“incredibly”的讀音以元音音素開頭。故用 an。3known解析：考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，本句有謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞“is”，所以此處應(yīng)用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞；因?yàn)閯?dòng)詞know與它修飾的名詞“systems”之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用過(guò)去分詞作后置定語(yǔ)，表示被動(dòng)。故用known。4Until解析：考查連詞。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處指直到最近，很少有外國(guó)人聽說(shuō)過(guò)中國(guó)的古典舞。until意為“到為止”，通常與完成時(shí)態(tài)搭配，until recently 意為“直到最近”，符合語(yǔ)境。故用Until。注意首字母大寫。5what解析：考查名詞性從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，“they had just seen”是“sure”之后的賓語(yǔ)從句，且從句中缺少賓語(yǔ)。故用what。6was established解析：考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)和語(yǔ)態(tài)。動(dòng)詞establish與“the Shen Yun Performing Arts pany”之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系；又因?yàn)楸疚亩际褂昧艘话氵^(guò)去時(shí)，因此空格處應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。故用was established。7traditional解析：考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。結(jié)合句意可知，此處指它的宗旨是推廣傳統(tǒng)文化。此處應(yīng)用形容詞來(lái)修飾名詞“culture”。故用traditional。8presenting解析：考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。include后要接動(dòng)名詞作賓語(yǔ)。故用presenting。9better解析：考查副詞的比較級(jí)。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，不到十年的時(shí)間，中國(guó)的古典舞已經(jīng)被人們更好地認(rèn)可并且影響到西方的芭蕾舞了。此處much修飾副詞well的比較級(jí)。故用better。10stories解析：考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。story是可數(shù)名詞，其前沒(méi)有冠詞修飾，故應(yīng)用其復(fù)數(shù)形式。故用stories。desire

often go for free air conditioning outside home in summer._1_ Goods related to keeping cool，like air conditioners，fans or sun care items，are very popular.2_2_Pests like stink bugs(椿象)grow fast during summer heat waves，and many agriculture experts are expecting a repeat of last years outbreak that harmed fruit and crops，particularly on the East Coast.3Energy bills_3_ With all those air conditioners and fans working，it makes sense that energy bills will be higher than average._4_ “Not only are people going to have extremely high energy bills for July，it will also put increased stress on power plants，and were going to see more air pollution because of it，” says Angela Fritz.4ViolenceHeat waves may cause violence，right? “Not necessarily，”says Richard Larrick，a researcher.He took a unique look at the relationship between violence and heat through baseball.Larrick and his research team examined 57,294 Major League Baseball games taking place between 1962 and 2017 and found that while heat may increase violence，there always has to be a motive.“_5_ Instead，heat affects a specific form of violence，” he said.AAir pollutionBPest populationCRising heat is the expected response in any summer.DHeat does not directly lead to more violence in general.EMore and more people are worried about their expenses.FAs more energy is used，air quality problems may occur.GSo its not a surprise

necessarily”可知，D項(xiàng)“總的來(lái)說(shuō)，高溫不會(huì)直接導(dǎo)致更多的暴力”與此處匹配。ring up 給打電話打電話給某人call/ring back 回電話ring off/hang up 掛斷電話hold on 別掛斷(教材原句)When the clerk at the counter was rude to her，she rang

the sign of the rawest of human emotions. We cry when we cant hold inside what we feel any more. We cry when were at our best, and when were at our worst. By we, I mean all of us. Men included.But we never see other men cry. In no western culture has it ever been acceptable for men to shed (流淚) more than a single tear, and even then its reserved for grand victories, defeats and deaths. Dutch research suggests that women cry between three and five times more than men. Generally men and women cry over the same things deaths, breakups and homesickness, primarily, but researchers believe that men cry more often than women when it es to positive events. I want to admit Im a bit of a cryer. However, having never really experienced deaths in my life, a few weeks ago I experienced what it means to really, truly, pour my heart out in tears. See, my dog and 24/7 panion was killed by a car right outside my house. Being a witness to this painful event left me in shock for a good hour, but then the floodgates opened. Over the next 48 hours, I might have cried 20 times. Once or twice I crouched (蹲) on the floor with my head in my hands and tears were the only outlet. It is suggested in the book Adult Crying: A Biopsychosocial Approach that theres certain pleasure in crying. It helps ease stress when there is no other way to express ourselves. In those days after my dogs death, I remember thinking, “Ive got to stop this crying”. It felt unmanly. It felt like a sign of weakness. Ive since realised that tears are for everybody; theyre not genderspecific. They show we have sympathy, allow us to get rid of stress and just feel.【文章大意】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者的狗遭遇車禍，作者痛哭不已，傷心欲絕。后來(lái)作者意識(shí)到哭泣是釋放壓力的方式?！倦y句分析】However, having never really experienced deaths in my life, a few weeks ago I experienced what it means to really, truly, pour my heart out in tears.(第三段第二句) 分析：該句為主從復(fù)合句。該句中what it means to really, truly, pour my heart out in tears為what引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句；having never really experienced deaths in my life為現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)作原因狀語(yǔ)。譯文：然而，我在生活中從來(lái)沒(méi)有真正體會(huì)過(guò)死亡，數(shù)周前的一次體驗(yàn)讓我知道死亡真的意味著痛哭流涕和撕心裂肺的感覺(jué)。1.
