Ⅰ.閱讀理解
In an amusing atmosphere at a historical palace in the Sayeda Zeinab neighborhood of the Egyptian capital Cairo, a large audience of different ages interacted livelily during an Aragoz show, the traditional Egyptian hand puppet(木偶) performance. The three-day event was meant to shed light on Aragoz as a unique art performance, give people a chance to see the beauty of puppet shows, and save the art that faces the danger of extinction.
Aragoz is a classic form of Egyptian theater art using traditional hand puppetry. During the performances, puppeteers remain hidden inside a small portable(便攜式的) stage while an assistant interacts with the puppets and the crowd. Aragoz takes its name from the main puppet, whose unique voice is created with a voice modifier(修改器). Performers and the audience interact throughout the show, which creates a comic and entertaining atmosphere, and practitioners must be skilled in controlling the puppets.
The art used to be presented by traveling performers, who moved from one folk celebration to another. However, as these performances began to decline(衰退), performers and their assistants settled permanently(永久地) in fixed places. The number of surviving practitioners has decreased, while many of those who once put on stories have now disappeared. Many people see the need of protecting the Aragoz show, explaining that it not only is an important traditional cultural heritage in the country, but also serves to entertain the public, especially the children.
“The audiences were enjoying our shows. Many of them only saw Aragoz on TV and in movies, while those who saw live Aragoz performances recalled childhood memories,” said Bahgat, a professor of theater at Helwan University. “We are now in the era of technology and direct communication has become limited, so I think that we have an opportunity to spread this art again because virtual social media could not make up for the human need to watch such live shows,” he stressed.
1.Why does the author refer to the three-day performance
A.To tell a story.　　　B.To introduce the topic.
C.To highlight an opinion.　　　D.To explain an argument.
2.What can we learn about the puppeteers
A.They create the puppet s unique voice.
B.They interact directly with the audience.
C.They perform without being observed by the audience.
D.They must be skilled in interacting throughout the show.
3.What made Aragoz performers settle down
A.The disappearance of many performers.
B.The decline in popularity of the performances.
C.The need to preserve the traditional cultural heritage.
D.An increase in the number of surviving practitioners.
4.What is Bahgat s attitude to the future of live Aragoz performances
A.Optimistic.　　　B.Negative.　　　C.Unconcerned.　　　D.Doubtful.
Ⅱ.七選五
Public Speaking
It can be stressful to deliver a speech in front of people. What do you say How do you catch people s attention What do you do if you mess up 　1　 You can use the following basics about the art of public speaking to help you overcome these challenges and be a good speaker.
Point everything back to the central idea
Before you begin your speech, figure out your core message. 　2　 This makes it easier to decide what to say and this helps you make every other decision, from the structure to the specific stories and concrete images that you include.
　3　
To make your presentation memorable, you can try using “sticky stories” in your speeches—honest, vivid anecdotes(逸聞) with details that engage the senses of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. People remember stories and images.
Practice in front of people
Practicing your speech can ease feelings of awkwardness and help you adjust your presentation. Ask a friend or a family member to listen to you as you practice. You can also take a voice memo with your phone and play it back to yourself. 　4　
Slow down and start again
If something unexpected happens—say you stumble(結巴) or lose your place—pause or slow down. Take a deep breath and go back to the beginning of a sentence or restate the word you stumbled over. And don t worry, people don t notice those pauses as much as you think they do. 　5　 The point is to set yourself up for success, not perfection.
A.Use vivid imagery and storytelling.
B.These problems may drive you mad.
C.Avoid big words and long sentences.
D.Even if someone does notice, that s OK, too.
E.Then make sure all the ideas in your speech point back to it.
F.There s also a chance to practice short speeches on important topics.
G.By doing so, you can get supportive feedback to improve your speech.

Ⅰ.1.overcame　2.documentaries　3.transport/transportation
4.applauded/clapped
Ⅱ.1.extremely　考查副詞。句意:局勢已經變得極其緊張,雙方之間隨時都可能爆發戰爭。設空處修飾形容詞 tense,應用副詞,表示程度。
2.arrangements　考查名詞。設空處被these修飾且作with的賓語,應用名詞;由語境可知設空處表示“安排”,應用名詞arrangement,且空前有these,故用復數形式。
3.appealing　考查形容詞。句意:那位文學大師把這首詩講給我們聽后,我們都覺得唐詩很吸引人。此處使用了“find+賓語+賓補”結構,設空處作賓語補足語,表示“吸引人的”,因此用形容詞appealing。
4.absorbed　考查形容詞。句意:Catherine坐在沙發上,全神貫注地讀著那本關于青春和夢想的書。be absorbed in 為固定搭配,意為“專心于,全神貫注于”。此處為形容詞短語作狀語。
5.to;for　考查介詞。句意:我非常感謝我們的英語老師給了我演講的機會。be grateful to sb. for doing sth.因做某事而感激某人。

Ⅰ.◎語篇解讀　這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一種傳統的木偶表演。
1.B　推理判斷題。根據第一段可知題干中的“the three-day performance”指的是木偶表演,而文章介紹的就是木偶表演的相關情況,所以作者提到三天的演出是為了引入文章話題。故選B。
2.C　細節理解題。根據第二段中的“During the performances, puppeteers remain hidden inside a small portable stage while an assistant interacts with the puppets and the crowd.”可知,觀眾看不到木偶操縱者。故選C。
3.A　細節理解題。根據第三段中的“However, as these performances began to decline, performers and their assistants settled permanently in fixed places. The number of surviving practitioners has decreased...have now disappeared.”可知,許多表演者的消失讓Aragoz的表演者定居下來。
4.A　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中Bahgat的話“We are now...we have an opportunity to spread this art again because virtual social media could not make up for the human need to watch such live shows”可知,Bahgat認為虛擬社交媒體滿足不了人們觀看現場表演的需求,由此可推知,他對未來Aragoz現場表演的態度是樂觀的。A.樂觀的;B.消極的;C.不關心的;D.懷疑的。故選A。
【高頻詞匯】　1.atmosphere n.氣氛,氛圍　2.interact v.互動　3.entertaining adj.使人愉快的　entertain v.(使)娛樂　4.make up for彌補
長難句
原句　We are now in the era of technology and direct communication has become limited, so I think that we have an opportunity to spread this art again because virtual social media could not make up for the human need to watch such live shows.
分析　本句為并列復合句。so連接兩個并列分句。so前的分句也為并列復合句,and連接兩個并列分句。so后的分句為主從復合句,think后為that引導的賓語從句,其中“because virtual...live shows”為because引導的原因狀語從句。
譯文　我們現在處于科技時代,直接交流已經變得有限,所以我認為我們有機會再次傳播這種藝術,因為虛擬社交媒體無法彌補人們觀看這種現場表演的需求。
Ⅱ.◎語篇解讀　這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了公眾演講的技巧來幫助讀者克服演講的困難,成為一名優秀的演講者。
1.B　根據前文“It can be stressful to deliver a speech in front of people...if you mess up ”可知,前文提到了公眾演講的困難。根據后文“overcome these challenges”可知,空處與challenges有關,根據后文“You can use the following basics...to help you overcome these challenges and be a good speaker.”可知后文提到了克服這些挑戰的方法。結合選項可知B項(這些問題可能會讓你抓狂)承接上文提到的問題和困難,同時引出下文的解決辦法,承上啟下,符合語境,故選B。B項中的“These problems”指代上文列舉的問題。
2.E　根據本段小標題“Point everything back to the central idea”和空前文“Before you begin your speech, figure out your core message.”可知,在開始演講之前,弄清楚演講的核心思想,演講中的所有內容都要指向中心思想。E項“Then make sure all the ideas in your speech point back to it.”承接上文,指出讓演講中的所有觀點都指向演講的核心思想,符合語境,E項中的“it”指代前文中提到的“core message”。故選E。
3.A　本空是本段的小標題。根據本段內容可知,本段主要闡述要在演講中使用有吸引力的故事,包括涉及各種感官的細節。A項(使用生動的形象描述和故事敘述)能夠概括本段主旨,適合作為小標題。故選A。
4.G　根據前文“Ask a friend or a family member to listen to you as you practice. You can also take a voice memo with your phone and play it back to yourself.”可知,本段建議讓別人看著自己練習演講或是練習時給自己錄音自己再聽。 G項(這樣做你可以得到支持性反饋,以此完善你的演講)承接上文,符合語境,故選G。
5.D　本段講的是自己演講打磕巴時不要慌,暫停或是慢下來。根據前文“And don t worry, people don t notice those pauses as much as you think they do.”和后文“The point is to set yourself up for success, not perfection.”并結合選項可知,D項(即使有人確實注意到了你的停頓也沒關系)承接上文提到的沒人注意到你的停頓,同時引出下文提出的重要的是什么,符合語境,故選D。
【高頻詞匯】　1.deliver vt.發表　2.catch one s attention吸引某人的注意力　3.mess up弄糟,搞砸　4.concrete adj.具體的　5.slow down慢下來　6.take a deep breath深呼吸
長難句
原句　This makes it easier to decide what to say and this helps you make every other decision, from the structure to the specific stories and concrete images that you include.
分析　本句為并列復合句。句中第一個and連接兩個并列分句。第一個分句“This makes it easier to decide what to say”為簡單句,其中it為形式賓語,不定式短語“to decide what to say”為真正的賓語。第二個分句“this helps...that you include”為主從復合句,其中“that you include”為that引導的定語從句。
譯文　這讓你更容易決定要說什么,也能幫助你做出其他決定,從結構到你包括的具體的故事和具體的形象。
Ⅲ.◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。作者講述了在一次合唱比賽中有人意外失誤,作者沒有去責怪那個犯錯的人,而是和她一起練習,最后取得了成功。通過這件事作者告訴我們:當為了同一個目標奮斗時,我們不要去責備犯錯的人,而是要去幫助他解決問題。
1.B　根據前文的內容“當主持人宣布我的合唱團獲得世界合唱比賽第二名時,我簡直不敢相信我聽到的”可知,此處是指“我”們付出的所有努力(efforts)都是值得的。設空處與空后的made一起構成固定搭配。make a promise做出承諾;make an effort付出努力;make a request做出要求;make a difference有影響,起作用(difference一般不用復數)。故選B。
2.C　根據最后一段第一句“Never blame a person when he makes a mistake, but help him to solve the problem when you are struggling 　14　 the same goal.”可知,當你和他人為同一個目標而奮斗時,如果有人犯錯,永遠不要責怪他,而是要幫助他解決問題。這是通過這次難忘的經歷“我”學到的道理。由此可知,此處是說作者學到了很多。A.考慮;B.忘記;C.學習;D.解釋。故選C。
3.C　句意:當我們唱第三首歌時,我突然聽到一個意想不到的聲音……。根據后文“a girl in the alto got quick”可知其中一個女孩唱得節奏快了,這樣在合唱時就會出現一種不一樣的聲音,由此推知此處指“歌唱聲”。A.名字;B.呼喊;C.歌唱聲;D.歌曲。故選C。
4.B　根據前文“The other students in the alto”和后文“were getting quicker and quicker”可知,唱中音的其他同學都被那個女孩帶錯了。drive...away使……離去,使……不愿久留;lead...away把……引走;give...out分發;turn...down調低,拒絕。故選B。
5.D　根據前文“Ms Li noticed it”可知,“我”們合唱團的指揮李老師注意到了節奏過快;根據后文“used her hand to keep time”可知李老師發現問題之后用手來保持節奏進行補救。根據語境可知合唱團的節奏亂了,情況緊急,再結合選項可知此處表示李老師立刻作出反應。A.同樣,類似地;B.容易地;C.確切地;D.立刻,馬上。故選D。
6.A　根據下一段的描述,特別是下一段第一句中的“the smile on Ms Li s face froze(李老師臉上的笑容凝固了)”可知,李老師的補救措施沒能把大家帶到正確的調上來,即李老師的做法失敗了。A.失敗;B.成功;C.到達;D.同意。故選A。
7.B　根據“some of our members turned and tried to find the person”可知,此處是指在唱完歌后成員們試圖找出第一個唱錯的人。A.忙碌的;B.錯誤的;C.溫暖的;D.緩慢的。故選B。句意:唱完歌后,李老師臉上的笑容凝固了,我們中的一些成員轉過身,試圖找出第一個唱錯的人。
8.C　根據第二段第一句“In the semi-final, we were supposed to sing four songs.”可知,作者的合唱團在半決賽中應該唱四首歌;根據此空前文可知,此時是剛唱完第三首歌,接下來還需要完成一首歌的演唱。結合本段最后一句“We sang the 　10　 song as usual.”可知,此處是指作者意識到他們唯一能做的是完成這次表演。A.停止,離開;B.改變;C.完成;D.參與。故選C。
9.A　根據設空處所在句中的“with a smile”“Ms Li became a 　9　 again”及“who seemed to have absolutely forgotten what we had done(她似乎已經完全忘記了我們所做的一切)”可知,此處是指李老師暫時忘卻孩子們之前的失誤,微笑著繼續做之前的事。根據第二段中的“Our choir s conductor, Ms Li”可知李老師是作者所在的合唱團的指揮,由此可知此處指李老師又成了指揮。A.指揮;B.歌手;C.跳舞者,舞蹈演員;D.工人。故選A。
10.D　根據前文可知,在半決賽中作者所在的合唱團要唱四首歌,他們已經完成了三首,再結合下一段第一句中的“After the competition(比賽結束之后)”可知,此處指該場比賽中的“最后一首歌”。A.晚的,遲的;B.唯一的;C.第一(個)的;D.最后的。故選D。
11.A　根據“the girl who behaved poorly”可知,此處指“責怪那個表現不如意的女孩”。A.責怪;B.鼓勵;C.給……打電話;D.問。故選A。
12.B　根據前文可知,作者意識到無論怎么責怪那個表現不如意的女孩都不會改變結果;根據后文可知作者找到那個女孩,鼓勵她并跟她一起練習,這是作者在分析情況之后采取的措施。根據前后文的邏輯關系可推知空后文的內容是空前文所述情況的結果,因此設空處前后是因果關系。A.否則;B.因此;C.然而;D.此外。故選B。
13.C　根據“we got the medal”可推知,作者所在的合唱團表現得很好。A.壞的,質量差的;B.普通的,平常的;C.完美的;D.粗魯的。四個選項中只有C項感彩符合語境,故選C。句意:在決賽中,我們獲得了獎牌,因為我們表現得很完美。
14.C　根據語境可知,此處是作者通過這次表演經歷學到的東西。句意:當你們在為同一個目標奮斗時,如果有人犯錯,不要去責備他,而是要幫助他解決問題。A.在……之上;B.在……之后;C.朝著,趨向,接近;D.在……里邊。故選C。
15.D　根據“success or failure, 　15　 or tears”可知,or前后的詞詞義相反,所以此處是指歡笑或淚水。A.錯誤;B.驚奇;C.悲傷;D.笑,笑聲。故選D。句意:無論你將來會與別人一起經歷什么,是成功還是失敗,是歡笑還是淚水,那肯定都將成為你寶貴的財富。
【高頻詞匯】　1.worthwhile adj.值得的　2.unexpected adj.想不到的,出乎意料的　3.go blank(腦子里)突然一片空白　4.struggle v.奮斗,努力　5.precious adj.珍貴的　6.treasure n.財富,珍寶
