W: Hey, John. I’m surprised to see you here. What made you come tonight? I thought you said you were busy when I asked yesterday. Did you plan to go to your grandparents’ house change?
M: Well, I did say that originally. However, I want to be honest now and tell you that I lied to you. I really wanted to come tonight, but I was scared. I have never been on a roller coaster before.
W: Don’t apologise for that. I’m sorry that I put you into that position. I wouldn’t have invited you if I had known you were scared. I never meant to make tonight stressful.
M: No, it’s my fault. I really never had the opportunity to fix my problem before, so I didn’t know what to do. But I came tonight to face my fears directly!
W: That is very brave of you. I’m glad to be here with you while you do that. Besides, the town’s holiday celebrations have much smaller rides. It is a good place to start. Let’s buy some tickets and enjoy the celebrations.
M: Thank you for being so understanding. You are a really great friend. Let me buy the tickets for us to thank you.

【答案】18. C 19. A 20. A
【解析】
【原文】Today is the third day of my week’s holiday in Paris. The journey here was very long and I felt tired because I didn’t get much sleep on the plane. But I was excited when I got in the taxi and I could see the Eiffel Tower from the window. It really is quite an impressive sight. The weather here is a little bit cold, and sometimes rainy. So, I had to buy a new umbrella because I forgot to bring one. The traffic is very bad, so usually I like to walk if I can. But it’s a big city, so it can get very tiring after a few hours. The food here is delicious, but I don’t like the breakfast served at the hotel. However, I am so lucky because there is a nice bakery close to where I am staying. They have fresh bread every morning and the shopkeeper always greets me with a big smile. I have visited most of the famous places, but I couldn’t get into the Louvre, because I went too late last night and the tickets were all sold out. I really hope I can go today, because I’m a big fan of art galleries and I must see the painting of Mona Lisa. It’s the real reason I came here.

Old and historical cinemas are all around us and yet so unnoticed. A new photobook uncovers their often overlooked beauty.
Loew’s Palace Theatre
Originally opened as the Poli’s Palace Theatre in 1922 by architect Thomas W. Lamb, it was one of a double theatre complex along with the neighbouring Poli’s Majestic Theatre. In 1934, both theatres were taken over by Loew’s and operated as film theatres. In the late 1970s, an attempt to turn the building into a Christian Revival Centre never succeeded. The theatre is presently vacant and awaiting restoration.
Metropolitan Opera House
Originally founded as the Philadelphia Opera House in 1908, it was designed by local architect William H. McElfatrick, who was in charge of the design of 40 theatres in his career. The Philadelphia Opera House was designed for opera manager Oscar Hammerstein as his ninth opera house. In 1910, it was sold to the Metropolitan Opera of New York City and was renamed the Met. Through the 1920s, it showed silent films in addition to hosting various opera companies. In the late 1930s, it became a ballroom, and in the 1940s a sports area for basketball, wrestling, and boxing events. It finally closed in 1954 and was turned into a church.
Robin’s Theatre
Opened in 1923, it had 1,500 seats, and was designed by architects I. J. Goldston and Detroit-based C. Howard Crane. It was operated by The Robins Theatre Enterprises Co., a local company founded by Daniel Robins, who was an early partner of Albert Warner of Warner Bros. It closed in 1974 and was vacant until 2018, when it was renovated and reopened as a multipurpose venue in 2020.
21. At present, where are you likely to go for a concert?
A. Loew’s Palace Theatre. B. Christian Revival Centre.
C. Robin’s Theatre. D. Metropolitan Opera House.
22. What do Loew’s Palace Theatre and Metropolitan Opera House have in common?
A. Both of them were renamed. B. Both of them used to show silent films.
C. Both of them have been restored. D. Both of them served religious purposes.
23. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To rank the old and unnoticed theatres.
B. To encourage people to protect the old theatres.
C. To show the development of American theatres.
D. To provide information on overlooked old theatres.
【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D

In my mind, the effect that experience had on me lasted forever. I was determined to learn swimming at the age of ten. There was a pool, at the K. P.L.B., offering the opportunity. My mother constantly warned against it, and bore fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. But the K. P.L.B. pool was safe.
My fear of water started from childhood. It began when I was four years old and father took me to the beach. There the huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.
The K. P.L.B. pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on the side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, "Hi, Skinny! How'd you like to be ducked?" With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end. I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my wits-when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump, come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing bur water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly.
When I came to consciousness, I found myself on the bed in the hospital.
I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could. This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by. It deprived me of the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, I practiced hard and finally he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished, but I was not. Sometimes the terror would return.
This went on till July. I swam across the Lake Wentworth. Only once did the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said, "Well, Mr. Terror, what do you think you can do to me?"
I had conquered my fear of water.
24. Why was the author frightened of water originally?
A. His skill in swimming was very poor.
B. An experience of an outing to the beach affected him.
C. He had an unpleasant memory of the pool at the age of four
D. His mother warmed him about the danger of being drowned
25. Which of the following is right about the author's experience in the K.P.L.B. pool?
A. The experience made him aware that the pool was safe
B. While he had no skill in swimming, he struggled to go upwards.
C. When he was thrown into water, he knew someone would save him.
D. The big boy eagerly wanted to help him to conquer the fear of water.
26. Which of the following can be used to describe the author?
A. Diligent and cautious. B. Determined and far-sighted.
C. Dependable and adaptable. D. Demanding and courageous.
27. What does the author try to tell us?
A. A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit. B. Do one thing at a time, and do well.
C. Deed divides beings into lower and higher ones. D. Success always comes from daring to challenge.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者从怕水到学会游泳的过程。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段内容“My fear of water started from childhood. It began when I was four years old and father took me to the beach. There the huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.”(我从小就害怕水。害怕开始于我四岁的时候，爸爸带我去海滩。在那里，巨浪把我击倒，席卷了我。)可知，作者怕水是因为四岁时，爸爸带他去海滩，在那里他被巨浪击倒了，留下了心里阴影。由此可知，作者最初对水的恐惧是由他和父亲去海滩游玩引起的。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“But I was not frightened out of my wits—when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump, come out of the surface.”(但当我的脚触底时，我并没有吓得发疯，我将用力跳跃，跳出水面。)可知，当作者被扔到水里时，尽管脚触底了，但作者没有吓得发疯，因为他想自己可以用力一跳，这样就可以跳出水面了。由此可知，作者被扔进水里时没有被吓死是因为他想出了一个回到水面之上的主意。故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段关键句“I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could.”(我再也没回过游泳池。我尽量避免接触水。)可知，当作者在水里发生意外后，他再也没回过游泳池，尽量避开接触水，由此可知，作者是个谨慎的人；根据倒数第三段关键句“Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, I practiced hard and finally he built a swimmer.”(最后，我决定找个教练。我一点儿一点儿地努力练习，最后他塑造了一个游泳运动员。)可知，为了克服恐惧，学会游泳，作者找了一个教练教我，并且不断地努力练习，最后成为了一个游泳运动员，由此可知，作者是个勤奋的人。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I had conquered my fear of water.(我战胜了自己对水的恐惧)”可知作者最终战胜自己对水的恐惧，能够自由游泳了。因此他想用自己的经历告诉我们要敢于面对挑战，才能赢得最终的成功。故选D项。
C
Like many other five-year-olds, Jeanie Low of Houston, Texas, would use a stool (凳子) to help her reach the bathroom sink. However, the plastic step-stool she had at home was unstable and cluttered up the small bathroom shared by her whole family. After learning of an invention contest held by her school that year, Jeanie resolved to enter the contest by creating a stool that would be a permanent fixture in the bathroom, and yet could be kept out of the way when not in use.
Jeanie decided to make a stool attached to the bathroom cabinet door under the sink. She cut a board of wood into two pieces, each about two feet wide and one foot long. Using metal hinges (铰链), Jeanie attached one piece of the wood to the front of the cabinet door, and the second piece to the first. The first piece was set just high enough so that when it swung out horizontally from the cabinet door, the second piece would swing down from the first, just touching the ground, and so serving as a support for the first piece of the wood. This created a convenient, strong platform for any person too short to reach the sink. When not in use, the hinges allowed the two pieces of wood to fold back up tightly against the cabinet, where they were held in place by magnets (磁铁). Jeanie called her invention “the Kiddie Stool”.
Jeanie’s Kiddie Stool won first place in her school’s contest. Two years later it was awarded first prize again at Houston’s first annual Invention Fair. As a result, Jeanie was invited to make a number of public appearances with her Kiddie Stool, and was featured on local TV as well as in newspapers. Many people found the story of the Kiddie Stool inspiring because it showed that with a pair of observant eyes, anyone can be an inventor.
28. According to the passage, why did Jeanie Low invent the Kiddie Stool?
A. The old stool wasn’t tall enough for her.
B. She was invited to enter an invention contest.
C. Other five-year-olds had problems reaching the sink.
D. The plastic stool was not firm and often got in the way.
29. What is the design of Jeanie’s Kiddie Stool like?
A. The platform is supported by two metal hinges.
B. The two wooden pieces swing from left to right.
C. The wooden pieces are kept in place by hinges and magnets.
D. The Kiddie Stool will swing out only when the cabinet door opens.
30. What are the characteristics of Jeanie’s Kiddie Stool?
A. Steady and convenient. B. Fragile and single-use.
C. Conventional and portable. D. Foldable and recyclable.
31. What message does the passage convey?
A. What is suitable is the best.
B. Success comes from failure.
C. Necessity is the mother of invention.
D. Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。通过讲述珍妮·洛发明“儿童凳子”的经过，来表明只要有一双善于观察的眼睛，任何人都可以成为发明家。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, the plastic step-stool she had at home was unstable and cluttered up the small bathroom shared by her whole family. After learning of an invention contest held by her school that year, Jeanie resolved to enter the contest by creating a stool that would be a permanent fixture in the bathroom, and yet could be kept out of the way when not in use.(然而，她家里的塑料台阶凳不稳定，把全家人共享的小浴室弄得乱七八糟。在得知那年学校举办了一场发明比赛后，珍妮决定参加比赛，她发明了一种凳子，它可以永久地放在浴室里，不用时也可以放在外面)”可知，因为塑料凳子不结实，经常碍事，所以珍妮·洛发明了儿童凳子。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“She cut a board of wood into two pieces, each about two feet wide and one foot long. Using metal hinges , Jeanie attached one piece of the wood to the front of the cabinet door, and the second piece to the first. The first piece was set just high enough so that when it swung out horizontally from the cabinet door, the second piece would swing down from the first, just touching the ground, and so serving as a support for the first piece of the wood. This created a convenient, strong platform for any person too short to reach the sink. When not in use, the hinges allowed the two pieces of wood to fold back up tightly against the cabinet, where they were held in place by magnets.(她把一块木板切成两截，每截大约两英尺宽，一英尺长。珍妮用金属铰链把一块木板固定在柜门前面，把第二块木板固定在第一块木板上。第一块木板的位置刚好够高，这样当它从柜门上水平摆动出来时，第二块木板就会从第一块木板上摆动下来，刚好碰到地面，这样就可以支撑第一块木板。这为任何个子太矮而够不到水槽的人创造了一个方便、坚固的平台。不用的时候，铰链可以让两块木头紧紧地折叠在柜子上，它们被磁铁固定在那里)”可知，珍妮儿童凳子的设计是这些木块是用铰链和磁铁固定在一起的。故选C项。

D
Albert Einstein’s 1915 masterpiece “The Foundation of the General Theory of Relativity” is the first and still the best introduction to the subject, and I recommend it as such to students. But it probably wouldn’t be publishable in a scientific journal today.
Why not? After all, it would pass with flying colours the tests of correctness and significance. And while popular belief holds that the paper was incomprehensible to its first readers, in fact many papers in theoretical physics are much more difficult.
As the physicist Richard Feynman wrote, “There was a time when the newspapers said that only 12 men understood the theory of relativity. I do believe there might have been a time when only one man did, because he was the only guy who caught on, before he wrote his paper. But after people read the paper a lot understood the theory of relativity in some way or other, certainly more than 12.”
No, the problem is its style. It starts with a leisurely philosophical discussion of space and time and then continues with an exposition of known mathematics. Those two sections, which would be considered extraneous today, take up half the paper. Worse, there are zero citations of previous scientists’ work, nor are there any graphics. Those features might make a paper not even get past the first editors.
A similar process of professionalization has transformed other parts of the scientific landscape. Requests for research time at major observatories or national laboratories are more rigidly structured. And anything involving work with human subjects, or putting instruments in space, involves piles of paperwork.
We see it also in the Regeneron Science Talent Search, the Nobel Prize of high school science competitions. In the early decades of its 78-year history, the winning projects were usually the sort of clever but naive, amateurish efforts one might expect of talented beginners working on their own. Today, polished work coming out of internships(实习) at established laboratories is the norm.
These professionalizing tendencies are a natural consequence of the explosive growth of modern science. Standardization and system make it easier to manage the rapid flow of papers, applications and people. But there are serious downsides. A lot of unproductive effort goes into jumping through bureaucratic hoops(繁文缛节), and outsiders face entry barriers at every turn.
Of course, Einstein would have found his way to meeting modern standards and publishing his results. Its scientific core wouldn’t have changed, but the paper might not be the same taste to read.
32. According to Richard Feynman, Einstein’s 1915 paper ________.
A. was a classic in theoretical physics
B. turned out to be comprehensible
C. needed further improvement
D. attracted few professionals
33. What does the underlined word “extraneous” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Unrealistic. B. Irrelevant.
C. Unattractive. D. Imprecise.
34. According to the author, what is affected as modern science develops?
A. The application of research findings.
B. The principle of scientific research.
C. The selection of young talents.
D. The evaluation of laboratories.
35. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. What makes Einstein great?
B. Will science be professionalized?
C. Could Einstein get published today?
D. How will modern science make advances?
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过引用物理学家的话以及现代科学爆炸式发展带来的专业化趋势来介绍爱因斯坦1915年的名著《广义相对论的基础》，这篇论文读起来不一样的地方以及它可能不会在今天的科学期刊上发表的原因。
32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As the physicist Richard Feynman wrote, “There was a time when the newspapers said that only 12 men understood the theory of relativity. I do believe there might have been a time when only one man did, because he was the only guy who caught on, before he wrote his paper. But after people read the paper a lot understood the theory of relativity in some way or other, certainly more than 12.（正如物理学家理查德·费曼所写：“曾经有一段时间，报纸上说只有12个人理解相对论。我相信或许确实有过只有一个人懂相对论的时候——因为在这篇论文之前，只有爱因斯坦理解这个问题。但当人们读了这篇论文，有很多人，绝对超过12个，或多或少都对相对论有了一定理解）”可知，爱因斯坦1915年的论文证明是可以理解的。故选B。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段划线词后句“Worse, there are zero citations of previous scientists’ work, nor are there any graphics. Those features might make a paper not even get past the first editors.”可知，更糟的是，文章没有对前人科学研究进行任何引用，也没有任何图。这些缺失对如今的科学论文来说是致命的。这样的文章甚至都不会被编辑送审，这说明爱因斯坦的论文在如今看来是很糟糕的，因此此处是说他在论文中花大量篇幅进行的哲学讨论和张量微积分的阐述在今天被认为是无关紧要的，所以画线词词义为“无关紧要的”。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第七段“A lot of unproductive effort goes into jumping through bureaucratic hoops(繁文缛节), and outsiders face entry barriers at every turn.（它从一个关于空间和时间的轻松的大量无用功都耗费在了突破官僚形式的层层桎梏上，也抬高了新人的准入门槛。）”可推断，在作者看来，现代科学的发展影响了年轻人才的选拔。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But it probably wouldn’t be publishable in a scientific journal today.（但它可能不会在今天的科学期刊上发表。）”可知，第一段是总起句，文章围绕着这个问题展开论述，所以这篇文章最好的题目是——“Could Einstein get published today?( 爱因斯坦的《相对论》今天能出版吗？)”故选C。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “___36___” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition.

My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. ___39___
You and your partner will probably have different skills. ___40___ Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何找到一个一起锻炼的伙伴。
【36题详解】
根据前文“Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,”(《健身杂志》最近刊登了一篇题为《感谢健身伙伴的五个理由》的文章。一个理由是：“如果你知道有人在健身房等你，你就会去锻炼。”)”以及后文“With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. (有一个锻炼伙伴，你将会努力训练，因为你们之间有一个微妙的竞争)”可知，空处陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由，故选项应与后文是顺承关系，选项C中的“train with someone else”与后文的“With a workout partner”相对应，选项C“You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.(如果你和别人一起训练，你会更努力)”符合语意。故选C项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person. (首先，决定你想从那个人身上得到什么)”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility?(或者你只是想要身体健康，能够移动的力量和灵活性?)”可知，这里是一个问句，反问自己结伴锻炼的目的，故空处与后文是选择关系，你要知道你锻炼是为了什么。所以选项D“Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? (你想在你最喜欢的运动项目上成为更好的运动员吗?)”与后文在语意上构成选择关系。故选D项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. (你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你想要的东西，但可能不会得到有用的回应)”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.(如果你打算在健身房锻炼，那个人一定是同一个健身房的)”可知，寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的特点。选项B中的“live close by”与后文的“belong to the same gym”相对应，选项B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近)”与下文是顺承关系。故选B项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. (我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼，每周多少天，每次培训要花多少小时，以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动，并提供了她的电话号码)”可知，本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例，说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选项G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息)”是对上文内容的总结，符合语意。故选G项。
【40题详解】
根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的技能)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. (久而久之，你们双方都会受益—你的伴侣会举起更多的重量，你也会变得更健康。你们关系的核心是你们永远在一起互相帮助)”可知，要学会求同存异，一起合作，共同提高。选项F中的“differences”对应前文的“different skills”，选项中的“work with each other”对应后文的“be there to help each other”，故选项F“Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. (接受你们的不同，学会彼此合作)”起到承上启下的作用，符合语意。故选F项。

As we all know, such scientists as Tu Youyou has made great contributions to our country and set a good example to them.
Tu Youyou, awarded Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, made the discovery of qinghaosu. It is one of the world’s most effective malaria-fighting drug, therefore greatly improved the health of numerous people. Besides, she shows many good qualities. For instance, despite of failure, she still worked hardly to overcome the difficulties, and she remains modest after gaining worldwide recognise. All these are how we can learn from her.
In conclusion she is an admirable scientist and I hope we will be inspiring.
【答案】1.has→have
2.them→us
3.awarded后添加the
4.drug→drugs
5.improved→improving
6.删除of
7.hardly→hard
8.recognise→recognition
9.how→what
10.inspiring→inspired
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家屠呦呦的发现及其重要意义。
【详解】1.考查主谓一致。句意：我们都知道，像屠呦呦这样的科学家为我们的国家做出了巨大的贡献，为我们树立了一个很好的榜样。此处主语为scientists，助动词应用have。故has改为have。
2.考查代词。句意：我们都知道，像屠呦呦这样的科学家为我们的国家做出了巨大的贡献，为我们树立了一个很好的榜样。此处指为“我们树立了一个很好的榜样”应用代词us。故them改为us。
3.考查冠词。句意：屠呦呦，诺贝尔生理学或医学奖获得者，发现了青蒿素。此处Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine为专有名词，前面需用定冠词。故awarded后添加the。
4.考查名词的数。句意：它是世界上最有效的抗疟疾药物之一，因此大大改善了许多人的健康。drug为可数名词，此处为one of+形容词最高级+名词复数形式。故drug改为drugs。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意：它是世界上最有效的抗疟疾药物之一，因此大大改善了许多人的健康。分析句子结构可知improve与逻辑主语drugs构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故improved改为improving。
6.考查固定用法。句意：例如，尽管失败，她仍然努力克服困难，并在获得世界认可后保持谦虚。despite后直接跟名词，没有despite of用法。故删除of。
7.考查副词。句意：例如，尽管失败，她仍然努力克服困难，并在获得世界认可后保持谦虚。修饰动词work应用副词hard，hardly表示“几乎不”不符合语境。故hardly改为hard。
8.考查名词。句意：例如，尽管失败，她仍然努力克服困难，并在获得世界认可后保持谦虚。作宾语，应用名词recognition，不可数。故recognise改为recognition。
9.考查表语从句。句意：这些都是我们可以从她身上学到的。引导表语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指事物应用what。故how改为what。
10.考查形容词。句意：总之，她是一位令人钦佩的科学家，我希望我们能受到鼓舞。修饰人应用-ed结尾形容词inspired；inspiring用于修饰物，表示“令人鼓舞的”不符合语境。故inspiring改为inspired。

【答案】To travel is to learn
Good morning, everyone. It’s my great privilege to stand here and share something about traveling. Without doubt, there are a great many ways to learn. Let’s say, to read is to learn. But what I’d like to convey is that to travel is also to learn. Traveling broadens our horizons with our own eyes, noses and so on. Take my journey to Xi’an as an example. Previously, reading books and viewing pictures and videos only made me aware of the existence of Terracotta Warriors and a number of local delicacies, but nothing more. However, upon arriving in Xi’an, it dawned on me how spectacular the city was. When tasting the foods, I came to know what the tradition was. So when we are traveling, we really experience something, thus enhancing our understanding of it. So everyone, just seize the chance and start an amazing journey to learn.
That’s all. Thank you!

【原文】Today is the third day of my week’s holiday in Paris. The journey here was very long and I felt tired because I didn’t get much sleep on the plane. But I was excited when I got in the taxi and I could see the Eiffel Tower from the window. It really is quite an impressive sight. The weather here is a little bit cold, and sometimes rainy. So, I had to buy a new umbrella because I forgot to bring one. The traffic is very bad, so usually I like to walk if I can. But it’s a big city, so it can get very tiring after a few hours. The food here is delicious, but I don’t like the breakfast served at the hotel. However, I am so lucky because there is a nice bakery close to where I am staying. They have fresh bread every morning and the shopkeeper always greets me with a big smile. I have visited most of the famous places, but I couldn’t get into the Louvre, because I went too late last night and the tickets were all sold out. I really hope I can go today, because I’m a big fan of art galleries and I must see the painting of Mona Lisa. It’s the real reason I came here.

A
Old and historical cinemas are all around us and yet so unnoticed. A new photobook uncovers their often overlooked beauty.
Loew’s Palace Theatre
Originally opened as the Poli’s Palace Theatre in 1922 by architect Thomas W. Lamb, it was one of a double theatre complex along with the neighbouring Poli’s Majestic Theatre. In 1934, both theatres were taken over by Loew’s and operated as film theatres. In the late 1970s, an attempt to turn the building into a Christian Revival Centre never succeeded. The theatre is presently vacant and awaiting restoration.
Metropolitan Opera House
Originally founded as the Philadelphia Opera House in 1908, it was designed by local architect William H. McElfatrick, who was in charge of the design of 40 theatres in his career. The Philadelphia Opera House was designed for opera manager Oscar Hammerstein as his ninth opera house. In 1910, it was sold to the Metropolitan Opera of New York City and was renamed the Met. Through the 1920s, it showed silent films in addition to hosting various opera companies. In the late 1930s, it became a ballroom, and in the 1940s a sports area for basketball, wrestling, and boxing events. It finally closed in 1954 and was turned into a church.
Robin’s Theatre
Opened in 1923, it had 1,500 seats, and was designed by architects I. J. Goldston and Detroit-based C. Howard Crane. It was operated by The Robins Theatre Enterprises Co., a local company founded by Daniel Robins, who was an early partner of Albert Warner of Warner Bros. It closed in 1974 and was vacant until 2018, when it was renovated and reopened as a multipurpose venue in 2020.
21. At present, where are you likely to go for a concert?
A. Loew’s Palace Theatre. B. Christian Revival Centre.
C. Robin’s Theatre. D. Metropolitan Opera House.
22. What do Loew’s Palace Theatre and Metropolitan Opera House have in common?
A. Both of them were renamed. B. Both of them used to show silent films.
C. Both of them have been restored. D. Both of them served religious purposes.
23. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To rank the old and unnoticed theatres.
B. To encourage people to protect the old theatres.
C. To show the development of American theatres.
D. To provide information on overlooked old theatres.
【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D

Lamb, it was one of a double theatre complex along with the neighbouring Poli’s Majestic Theatre.(最初于1922年由建筑师Thomas W.Lamb作为波利宫剧院开放，它与邻近的波利宫大剧院是一个双剧院综合体)”以及倒数第二段中“Originally founded as the Philadelphia Opera House in 1908, it was designed by local architect William H. McElfatrick, who was in charge of the design of 40 theatres in his career.(它最初成立于1908年的费城歌剧院，由当地建筑师William H. McElfatrick设计，他在职业生涯中负责了40座剧院的设计)”可知，勒夫宫剧院和大都会歌剧院的共同之处是都被重新命名了。故选A。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Old and historical cinemas are all around us and yet so unnoticed. A new photobook uncovers their often overlooked beauty.(我们周围到处都是古老的、历史悠久的电影院，但却鲜为人知。一本新的摄影集揭示了它们经常被忽视的美丽)”可推知，这篇文章的目的是提供被忽视的老剧院的信息。故选D。

In my mind, the effect that experience had on me lasted forever. I was determined to learn swimming at the age of ten. There was a pool, at the K. P.L.B., offering the opportunity. My mother constantly warned against it, and bore fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. But the K. P.L.B. pool was safe.
My fear of water started from childhood. It began when I was four years old and father took me to the beach. There the huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.
The K. P.L.B. pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on the side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, "Hi, Skinny! How'd you like to be ducked?" With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end. I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my wits-when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump, come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing bur water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly.
When I came to consciousness, I found myself on the bed in the hospital.
I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could. This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by. It deprived me of the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, I practiced hard and finally he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished, but I was not. Sometimes the terror would return.
This went on till July. I swam across the Lake Wentworth. Only once did the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said, "Well, Mr. Terror, what do you think you can do to me?"
I had conquered my fear of water.
24. Why was the author frightened of water originally?
A. His skill in swimming was very poor.
B. An experience of an outing to the beach affected him.
C. He had an unpleasant memory of the pool at the age of four
D. His mother warmed him about the danger of being drowned
25. Which of the following is right about the author's experience in the K.P.L.B. pool?
A. The experience made him aware that the pool was safe
B. While he had no skill in swimming, he struggled to go upwards.
C. When he was thrown into water, he knew someone would save him.
D. The big boy eagerly wanted to help him to conquer the fear of water.
26. Which of the following can be used to describe the author?
A. Diligent and cautious. B. Determined and far-sighted.
C. Dependable and adaptable. D. Demanding and courageous.
27. What does the author try to tell us?
A. A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit. B. Do one thing at a time, and do well.
C. Deed divides beings into lower and higher ones. D. Success always comes from daring to challenge.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者从怕水到学会游泳的过程。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段内容“My fear of water started from childhood. It began when I was four years old and father took me to the beach. There the huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.”(我从小就害怕水。害怕开始于我四岁的时候，爸爸带我去海滩。在那里，巨浪把我击倒，席卷了我。)可知，作者怕水是因为四岁时，爸爸带他去海滩，在那里他被巨浪击倒了，留下了心里阴影。由此可知，作者最初对水的恐惧是由他和父亲去海滩游玩引起的。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“But I was not frightened out of my wits—when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump, come out of the surface.”(但当我的脚触底时，我并没有吓得发疯，我将用力跳跃，跳出水面。)可知，当作者被扔到水里时，尽管脚触底了，但作者没有吓得发疯，因为他想自己可以用力一跳，这样就可以跳出水面了。由此可知，作者被扔进水里时没有被吓死是因为他想出了一个回到水面之上的主意。故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段关键句“I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could.”(我再也没回过游泳池。我尽量避免接触水。)可知，当作者在水里发生意外后，他再也没回过游泳池，尽量避开接触水，由此可知，作者是个谨慎的人；根据倒数第三段关键句“Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, I practiced hard and finally he built a swimmer.”(最后，我决定找个教练。我一点儿一点儿地努力练习，最后他塑造了一个游泳运动员。)可知，为了克服恐惧，学会游泳，作者找了一个教练教我，并且不断地努力练习，最后成为了一个游泳运动员，由此可知，作者是个勤奋的人。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I had conquered my fear of water.(我战胜了自己对水的恐惧)”可知作者最终战胜自己对水的恐惧，能够自由游泳了。因此他想用自己的经历告诉我们要敢于面对挑战，才能赢得最终的成功。故选D项。
C
Like many other five-year-olds, Jeanie Low of Houston, Texas, would use a stool (凳子) to help her reach the bathroom sink. However, the plastic step-stool she had at home was unstable and cluttered up the small bathroom shared by her whole family. After learning of an invention contest held by her school that year, Jeanie resolved to enter the contest by creating a stool that would be a permanent fixture in the bathroom, and yet could be kept out of the way when not in use.
Jeanie decided to make a stool attached to the bathroom cabinet door under the sink. She cut a board of wood into two pieces, each about two feet wide and one foot long. Using metal hinges (铰链), Jeanie attached one piece of the wood to the front of the cabinet door, and the second piece to the first. The first piece was set just high enough so that when it swung out horizontally from the cabinet door, the second piece would swing down from the first, just touching the ground, and so serving as a support for the first piece of the wood. This created a convenient, strong platform for any person too short to reach the sink. When not in use, the hinges allowed the two pieces of wood to fold back up tightly against the cabinet, where they were held in place by magnets (磁铁). Jeanie called her invention “the Kiddie Stool”.
Jeanie’s Kiddie Stool won first place in her school’s contest. Two years later it was awarded first prize again at Houston’s first annual Invention Fair. As a result, Jeanie was invited to make a number of public appearances with her Kiddie Stool, and was featured on local TV as well as in newspapers. Many people found the story of the Kiddie Stool inspiring because it showed that with a pair of observant eyes, anyone can be an inventor.
28. According to the passage, why did Jeanie Low invent the Kiddie Stool?
A. The old stool wasn’t tall enough for her.
B. She was invited to enter an invention contest.
C. Other five-year-olds had problems reaching the sink.
D. The plastic stool was not firm and often got in the way.
29. What is the design of Jeanie’s Kiddie Stool like?
A. The platform is supported by two metal hinges.
B. The two wooden pieces swing from left to right.
C. The wooden pieces are kept in place by hinges and magnets.
D. The Kiddie Stool will swing out only when the cabinet door opens.
30. What are the characteristics of Jeanie’s Kiddie Stool?
A. Steady and convenient. B. Fragile and single-use.
C. Conventional and portable. D. Foldable and recyclable.
31. What message does the passage convey?
A. What is suitable is the best.
B. Success comes from failure.
C. Necessity is the mother of invention.
D. Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. C

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。通过讲述珍妮·洛发明“儿童凳子”的经过，来表明只要有一双善于观察的眼睛，任何人都可以成为发明家。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, the plastic step-stool she had at home was unstable and cluttered up the small bathroom shared by her whole family. After learning of an invention contest held by her school that year, Jeanie resolved to enter the contest by creating a stool that would be a permanent fixture in the bathroom, and yet could be kept out of the way when not in use.(然而，她家里的塑料台阶凳不稳定，把全家人共享的小浴室弄得乱七八糟。在得知那年学校举办了一场发明比赛后，珍妮决定参加比赛，她发明了一种凳子，它可以永久地放在浴室里，不用时也可以放在外面)”可知，因为塑料凳子不结实，经常碍事，所以珍妮·洛发明了儿童凳子。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“She cut a board of wood into two pieces, each about two feet wide and one foot long.

Albert Einstein’s 1915 masterpiece “The Foundation of the General Theory of Relativity” is the first and still the best introduction to the subject, and I recommend it as such to students. But it probably wouldn’t be publishable in a scientific journal today.
Why not? After all, it would pass with flying colours the tests of correctness and significance. And while popular belief holds that the paper was incomprehensible to its first readers, in fact many papers in theoretical physics are much more difficult.
As the physicist Richard Feynman wrote, “There was a time when the newspapers said that only 12 men understood the theory of relativity. I do believe there might have been a time when only one man did, because he was the only guy who caught on, before he wrote his paper. But after people read the paper a lot understood the theory of relativity in some way or other, certainly more than 12.”
No, the problem is its style. It starts with a leisurely philosophical discussion of space and time and then continues with an exposition of known mathematics. Those two sections, which would be considered extraneous today, take up half the paper. Worse, there are zero citations of previous scientists’ work, nor are there any graphics. Those features might make a paper not even get past the first editors.
A similar process of professionalization has transformed other parts of the scientific landscape. Requests for research time at major observatories or national laboratories are more rigidly structured. And anything involving work with human subjects, or putting instruments in space, involves piles of paperwork.
We see it also in the Regeneron Science Talent Search, the Nobel Prize of high school science competitions. In the early decades of its 78-year history, the winning projects were usually the sort of clever but naive, amateurish efforts one might expect of talented beginners working on their own. Today, polished work coming out of internships(实习) at established laboratories is the norm.
These professionalizing tendencies are a natural consequence of the explosive growth of modern science. Standardization and system make it easier to manage the rapid flow of papers, applications and people. But there are serious downsides. A lot of unproductive effort goes into jumping through bureaucratic hoops(繁文缛节), and outsiders face entry barriers at every turn.
Of course, Einstein would have found his way to meeting modern standards and publishing his results. Its scientific core wouldn’t have changed, but the paper might not be the same taste to read.
32. According to Richard Feynman, Einstein’s 1915 paper ________.
A. was a classic in theoretical physics
B. turned out to be comprehensible
C. needed further improvement
D. attracted few professionals
33. What does the underlined word “extraneous” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Unrealistic. B. Irrelevant.
C. Unattractive. D. Imprecise.
34. According to the author, what is affected as modern science develops?
A. The application of research findings.
B. The principle of scientific research.
C. The selection of young talents.
D. The evaluation of laboratories.
35. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. What makes Einstein great?

C. Could Einstein get published today?
D. How will modern science make advances?
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过引用物理学家的话以及现代科学爆炸式发展带来的专业化趋势来介绍爱因斯坦1915年的名著《广义相对论的基础》，这篇论文读起来不一样的地方以及它可能不会在今天的科学期刊上发表的原因。
32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As the physicist Richard Feynman wrote, “There was a time when the newspapers said that only 12 men understood the theory of relativity. I do believe there might have been a time when only one man did, because he was the only guy who caught on, before he wrote his paper. But after people read the paper a lot understood the theory of relativity in some way or other, certainly more than 12.（正如物理学家理查德·费曼所写：“曾经有一段时间，报纸上说只有12个人理解相对论。我相信或许确实有过只有一个人懂相对论的时候——因为在这篇论文之前，只有爱因斯坦理解这个问题。但当人们读了这篇论文，有很多人，绝对超过12个，或多或少都对相对论有了一定理解）”可知，爱因斯坦1915年的论文证明是可以理解的。故选B。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段划线词后句“Worse, there are zero citations of previous scientists’ work, nor are there any graphics. Those features might make a paper not even get past the first editors.”可知，更糟的是，文章没有对前人科学研究进行任何引用，也没有任何图。这些缺失对如今的科学论文来说是致命的。这样的文章甚至都不会被编辑送审，这说明爱因斯坦的论文在如今看来是很糟糕的，因此此处是说他在论文中花大量篇幅进行的哲学讨论和张量微积分的阐述在今天被认为是无关紧要的，所以画线词词义为“无关紧要的”。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第七段“A lot of unproductive effort goes into jumping through bureaucratic hoops(繁文缛节), and outsiders face entry barriers at every turn.（它从一个关于空间和时间的轻松的大量无用功都耗费在了突破官僚形式的层层桎梏上，也抬高了新人的准入门槛。）”可推断，在作者看来，现代科学的发展影响了年轻人才的选拔。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But it probably wouldn’t be publishable in a scientific journal today.（但它可能不会在今天的科学期刊上发表。）”可知，第一段是总起句，文章围绕着这个问题展开论述，所以这篇文章最好的题目是——“Could Einstein get published today?( 爱因斯坦的《相对论》今天能出版吗？)”故选C。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “___36___” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition.
So, how do you find a workout partner?

You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won’t result in a useful response. ___38___ If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.
My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. ___39___
You and your partner will probably have different skills. ___40___ Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other.
A. Your first meeting may be a little awkward.
B. A workout partner usually needs to live close by.
C. You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.
D. Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport?
E. How can you write a good “seeking training partner” notice?

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何找到一个一起锻炼的伙伴。
【36题详解】
根据前文“Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,”(《健身杂志》最近刊登了一篇题为《感谢健身伙伴的五个理由》的文章。一个理由是：“如果你知道有人在健身房等你，你就会去锻炼。”)”以及后文“With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. (有一个锻炼伙伴，你将会努力训练，因为你们之间有一个微妙的竞争)”可知，空处陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由，故选项应与后文是顺承关系，选项C中的“train with someone else”与后文的“With a workout partner”相对应，选项C“You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.(如果你和别人一起训练，你会更努力)”符合语意。故选C项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person. (首先，决定你想从那个人身上得到什么)”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility?(或者你只是想要身体健康，能够移动的力量和灵活性?)”可知，这里是一个问句，反问自己结伴锻炼的目的，故空处与后文是选择关系，你要知道你锻炼是为了什么。所以选项D“Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? (你想在你最喜欢的运动项目上成为更好的运动员吗?)”与后文在语意上构成选择关系。故选D项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. (你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你想要的东西，但可能不会得到有用的回应)”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.(如果你打算在健身房锻炼，那个人一定是同一个健身房的)”可知，寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的特点。选项B中的“live close by”与后文的“belong to the same gym”相对应，选项B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近)”与下文是顺承关系。故选B项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. (我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼，每周多少天，每次培训要花多少小时，以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动，并提供了她的电话号码)”可知，本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例，说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选项G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息)”是对上文内容的总结，符合语意。故选G项。
【40题详解】
根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的技能)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. (久而久之，你们双方都会受益—你的伴侣会举起更多的重量，你也会变得更健康。你们关系的核心是你们永远在一起互相帮助)”可知，要学会求同存异，一起合作，共同提高。选项F中的“differences”对应前文的“different skills”，选项中的“work with each other”对应后文的“be there to help each other”，故选项F“Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. (接受你们的不同，学会彼此合作)”起到承上启下的作用，符合语意。故选F项。

【详解】1.考查主谓一致。句意：我们都知道，像屠呦呦这样的科学家为我们的国家做出了巨大的贡献，为我们树立了一个很好的榜样。此处主语为scientists，助动词应用have。故has改为have。
2.考查代词。句意：我们都知道，像屠呦呦这样的科学家为我们的国家做出了巨大的贡献，为我们树立了一个很好的榜样。此处指为“我们树立了一个很好的榜样”应用代词us。故them改为us。
3.考查冠词。句意：屠呦呦，诺贝尔生理学或医学奖获得者，发现了青蒿素。此处Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine为专有名词，前面需用定冠词。故awarded后添加the。
4.考查名词的数。句意：它是世界上最有效的抗疟疾药物之一，因此大大改善了许多人的健康。drug为可数名词，此处为one of+形容词最高级+名词复数形式。故drug改为drugs。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意：它是世界上最有效的抗疟疾药物之一，因此大大改善了许多人的健康。分析句子结构可知improve与逻辑主语drugs构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故improved改为improving。
6.考查固定用法。句意：例如，尽管失败，她仍然努力克服困难，并在获得世界认可后保持谦虚。despite后直接跟名词，没有despite of用法。故删除of。
7.考查副词。句意：例如，尽管失败，她仍然努力克服困难，并在获得世界认可后保持谦虚。修饰动词work应用副词hard，hardly表示“几乎不”不符合语境。故hardly改为hard。
8.考查名词。句意：例如，尽管失败，她仍然努力克服困难，并在获得世界认可后保持谦虚。作宾语，应用名词recognition，不可数。故recognise改为recognition。
9.考查表语从句。句意：这些都是我们可以从她身上学到的。引导表语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指事物应用what。故how改为what。
10.考查形容词。句意：总之，她是一位令人钦佩的科学家，我希望我们能受到鼓舞。修饰人应用-ed结尾形容词inspired；inspiring用于修饰物，表示“令人鼓舞的”不符合语境。故inspiring改为inspired。

【答案】To travel is to learn
Good morning, everyone. It’s my great privilege to stand here and share something about traveling. Without doubt, there are a great many ways to learn. Let’s say, to read is to learn. But what I’d like to convey is that to travel is also to learn. Traveling broadens our horizons with our own eyes, noses and so on. Take my journey to Xi’an as an example. Previously, reading books and viewing pictures and videos only made me aware of the existence of Terracotta Warriors and a number of local delicacies, but nothing more. However, upon arriving in Xi’an, it dawned on me how spectacular the city was. When tasting the foods, I came to know what the tradition was. So when we are traveling, we really experience something, thus enhancing our understanding of it. So everyone, just seize the chance and start an amazing journey to learn.
That’s all. Thank you!
