二、完形填空 (共15小题，每小题1分，计15分)

In the 1960s, a musical group composed a popular song called Monday: “Every other day of the week is fine． But     11     Monday comes, you can find me    12    all of the time．” When talking about days of the week, Monday gets    13    expectation． I surveyed friends, and the    14    were very clear． When asking which day of the week they like the least, 90 percent of them chose Monday． I disagree with them all． In fact, I think Monday is actually the best day of the week．

    15    , consider all the good things that happen on Mondays． For example, quite a few public holidays are     16     on Mondays． Then Monday is the best day to do shopping because there aren’t so many people shopping． Experts say that you can also get the best online deal s(交易) on Mondays． This is     17     true for electronics, such as computers, TVs, and video games．

To me, however, there’s something even more    18    about Mondays． Each Monday    19    a new beginning． For example, last week I got behind on my homework and had to     20     going to a movie with my friends on the weekend． But     21     Monday arrived, I could start all over again．

I also love Mondays because we usually start new lessons at school at the beginning of the week． While last week’s topics may be     22    , Monday can bring a new book to read, or math problems to solve． Besides, I always become full of energy on Mondays after getting enough sleep at weekends．

I realize that I am probably not going to make everyone believe that Monday is the best day of the week, but hopefully I can     23     a few people to change． The next time a Monday comes, think about all the good things that could happen and look forward to the day instead of    24    it．

There’s no way to     25     Mondays, so join me in making the best of them． Who knows? You might even start liking the first day of the workweek．

11．A．whatever         B．wherever                C．whenever                D．however

12．A．laughing          B．dancing                  C．talking                   D．crying

13．A．much              B．some                      C．little                       D．any

14．A．results             B．reasons                   C．problems                D．changes

15．A．In all              B．After all                 C．First of all              D．At all

16．A．served             B．celebrated               C．cancelled                D．announced

17．A．specially          B．especially               C．probably                 D．terribly

18．A．important        B．serious                   C．suitable                  D．difficult

22．A．boring             B．interesting              C．surprising               D．exciting

23．A．force               B．order                     C．allow                     D．encourage

24．A．enjoying          B．fearing                   C．accepting                D．facing

My stepmother’s (继母) enthusiasm (热情), the strong wish and interest to do everything, made me move toward the success．

I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia． My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the guy who is well known for being the worst boy in this town． And he will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning．”

My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right into my eyes． Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong． He’s not at all the way you said, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm．”

That began a friendship between us． No one had ever called me smart, my family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy． My stepmother changed all that．

She changed many things． She advised my father to go to a dental school． She moved our family into the town centre, where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated．

When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer． I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives． I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me． I wasn’t the only beneficiary． My father became the wealthiest man in town． My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president．

Cai Jiekai has spent around 80,000 yuan on his face since his first plastic surgery (整形手术) four years ago． “Getting plastic surgeries is just as usual as body building． Both make men more handsome and confident,” says the 33-year-old young man．

Cai is among a growing number of Chinese men using plastic surgeries to change their physical appearance to increase their self-confidence． In 2021, the market for beauty medicine in China was worth more than 495 billion yuan． Around 15 percent of customers were males, according to a report by plastic surgery social networking app Gengmei．

There is a rising trend (潮流) of young men turning to plastic surgeries; most male customers are in their teens or 20s． “Some men just want to please themselves, while others hope to improve their possibility in job hunting or dating,” says Wang Jun, vice-president of marketing for Gengmei． “Men are under the same social stress as women and their confidence and competitiveness would be more or less weakened by facial and body weaknesses．”

However, experts point out the risks of plastic surgeries． Fan Jufeng, director of the Plastic Surgery Department at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, does not encourage people, no matter men or women, to “blindly” go under the knife．

Fan also warned the public of the bad influences of live streaming celebrities (流量明星) who spread the misunderstanding that being pretty goes above all else． “Whether to have plastic surgeries is a personal choice, but people should not be addicted (上瘾) to it,” Fan says． “Think twice on it． After all, a rich and beautiful inside world is far more important than a pretty face．”

36．How does the writer begin his passage?

A．By giving an example．                             B．By listing numbers．

C．By making comparisons．                          D．By giving suggestions．

37．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A．The huge cost of women’s beauty market in China．

B．The growing beauty market for the Chinese men．

C．The rising trend of young men turning to plastic surgeries．

D．The reason for the increasing popularity of plastic surgeries．

38．Wang Jun’s words in Paragraph 3 are mentioned to  ．

A．show the advantages of men’s plastic surgeries

B．explain the reasons for men’s plastic surgeries

C．avoid the misunderstanding of plastic surgeries

D．complain about the great social stress for Chinese men

39．What’s Fan Jufeng’s attitude (态度) towards men’s plastic surgeries?

A．Supportive．          B．Angry．                C．Uninterested．        D．Doubtful．

40．Which is the best title of the passage?

D

A special popular dance has attracted attention widely． There are two stories about the origin (起源) of “Subject Three”． One story connects the dance to a wedding in Wuzhou, where guests danced as part of the celebrations． The other story suggests Guangxi local people go through three tests in their life: singing folk songs (“Subject One”) , slurping rice noodles (“Subject Two”) , and dancing (“Subject Three”) ．  ①

Why has “Subject Three” dance become so popular around the world? Some experts said the key to the success of “Subject Three” lies in its simplicity, which allows people to copy and take part． Its lasting joy is the secret to its popularity, satisfying people’s needs． While some others think openness leads to its popularity．   ②

What’s more, “Subject Three” has gone beyond cultural differences and language barriers (障碍) to become an unusual form of expression in the digital age． From Psy’s “Gangnam Style” (South Korea) in 2013 to “Subject Three” in 2023, over the past ten years, some dance styles, songs and other performances have broken boundaries between different cultures．   ③

“Subject Three” does not only belong to Guangxi alone; but it belongs to the world as well．China’s stories can be spread to the world even through simple, short videos of a dance ． “Subject Three” provides the living conditions of the Chinese people for the international community． The works that are loved by the common Chinese are always attractive to the people around the world．  ④

We often pay more attention to the word “good” to show high-brow (高雅的) Chinese culture to the world when it comes to telling China’s stories． But in 2023, the breakout success of “Subject Three” became a classic example of how to tell a good Chinese story． Hopefully, in the future, more stories like “Subject Three” will be heard by the world．

41．Which of the following explains the origin of “Subject Three” properly?

A．Everybody in Wuzhou can dance “Subject Three”．

B．Guests dance to celebrate at the wedding in Wuzhou．

C．People don’t know the origin of “Subject Three”．

D．Local people in Guangxi only need to take three tests during their lifetime．

42．This sentence “So the government should take advantage of this chance to introduce more Guangxi cultural products to the world and show the charm of Chinese culture．”can be put in

A．①                         B．②                         C．③                          D．④

43．Why does the writer speak of Psy’s “Gangnam Style” in Paragraph 3?

A．To help prove his ideas．

B．To show how popular it is ．

C．To remind people to watch this video．

D．To encourage people to know more about South Korea’s culture．

44．What makes “Subject Three”so popular around the world according to the passage?

A．Dance styles．                                          B．Chinese culture．

C．No boundaries．                                        D．Simplicity and openness．

45．What can we infer (推断) according to the passage?

A．Most people have difficulty learning “Subject Three”．

B．“Subject Three” stands for high-brow Chinese culture．

C．More short videos will be taken to tell Chinese stories to the world．

D．“Subject Three” breaks boundaries by mixing different culture together．

Biting the spring

In many parts of China, people follow the custom of “biting the spring” on the day of Beginning of Spring． They eat spring pancakes, spring rolls (春卷), or a few carrots．

Making a Spring Ox

This custom in Shaanxi is practiced right before Beginning of Spring． The local government hires some skilled workers and gathers them to build the frame (框架) of an ox out of bamboo strips and the legs with wood． People would do so to welcome spring and hope for a good harvest that year．

【详解】句意：——打扰一下，我能把车停在这里吗？——抱歉，街上挤满了人。你不能把车停在街道的两边。

考查代词。both两者都；none全无；either（两者中）任意一个；neither两者都不。根据“Sorry, the street is crowded with people． You can’t park your car on．．．side of it．”和常识可知，街道是两边，故排除选项B；both后接名词复数，不符合语境，故排除；此处指“街道两边的任意一边都不能停车”，句子为否定句，either符合语境。故选C。
