【解析】

本文講述了2020年是鼠年。為了迎接新年，老鼠的形象遍布中國(guó)各地，出現(xiàn)在各種裝飾品、玩具和其他創(chuàng)意產(chǎn)品中。站在文化交流的第一線，紫禁城還帶來(lái)了兩個(gè)在西藏文化中代表幸運(yùn)鼠的老鼠雕像，在中國(guó)人中被稱為“土撥鼠”。古人相信，他們咬掉壞東西的能力可以結(jié)束不愉快的事情，幫助開始新的一天。因此，鼠年也被認(rèn)為是中國(guó)十二生肖的一個(gè)新的開始。巧合的是，2020年也是21世紀(jì)20年代的開始。許多人也希望有一個(gè)幸運(yùn)的新十年。

【1】句意：為了迎接新年，老鼠的形象遍布中國(guó)各地，出現(xiàn)在各種裝飾品、玩具和其他創(chuàng)意產(chǎn)品中。

根據(jù)“various decorations”可知各種裝飾品，可推測(cè)出此處是“產(chǎn)品”，且此處是名詞復(fù)數(shù)，故答案為products。

【2】句意：站在文化交流的第一線，紫禁城還帶來(lái)了兩個(gè)在西藏文化中代表幸運(yùn)鼠的老鼠雕像。

stand for表示“代表”，根據(jù)“lucky rats”可知幸運(yùn)鼠，可推測(cè)出此處是“代表”，主語(yǔ)是“two rat statues”，所以用動(dòng)詞原形，故答案為stand。

【3】句意：老鼠在半夜總是很活躍，很擅長(zhǎng)咬人。

分析句子可知缺形容詞，作表語(yǔ)，根據(jù)“at midnight”及常識(shí)可知老鼠在半夜總是很活躍，可推測(cè)出此處是“active”，故答案為active。

【4】句意：古人相信，他們咬掉壞東西的能力可以結(jié)束不愉快的事情，幫助開始新的一天。

根據(jù)“by the ancients”可知是一般過(guò)去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，結(jié)合后文說(shuō)到老鼠是12生肖的開始，說(shuō)明人們相信老鼠咬掉壞東西的能力可以結(jié)束不愉快的事情，幫助開始新的一天，可推測(cè)出此處是相信，所以用過(guò)去分詞“believed”，故答案為believed。

【5】句意：因此，鼠年也被認(rèn)為是中國(guó)十二生肖的一個(gè)新的開始。

根據(jù)“a new”可知缺單數(shù)名詞，結(jié)合“help start a fresh new day.”可知幫助開始新的一天，可推測(cè)出此處是“beginning”，故答案為beginning。

【6】句意：巧合的是，2020年也是21世紀(jì)20年代的開始。

根據(jù)“a new beginning in the cycle of the Chinese zodiac.”可知是中國(guó)十二生肖的一個(gè)新的開始，可推測(cè)出此處是“同樣”，故答案為also。

【7】句意：許多人也希望有一個(gè)幸運(yùn)的新十年。

根據(jù)“a lucky new decade”可知一個(gè)幸運(yùn)的新十年，可推測(cè)出此處是“希望”，主語(yǔ)是復(fù)數(shù)，所以用動(dòng)詞原形，故答案為hope。

【8】句意：想要好運(yùn)的話，也許你可以從參觀故宮開始。

分析句子可知介詞接動(dòng)名詞作賓語(yǔ)，所以此處缺doing，根據(jù)“the Forbidden City”可知故宮，可推測(cè)出此處是“visiting”，故答案為visiting。

首字母閱讀填空是考試常見題型，做題時(shí)要先通讀全文，在理解文章大意的基礎(chǔ)上，根據(jù)具體語(yǔ)境結(jié)合首字母即可得出答案。第8小題中結(jié)合空后“the Forbidden City”及首字母可猜出要“拜訪”，此題相對(duì)比較簡(jiǎn)單，注意介詞后接doing。

【題目】 Is modern life moving too fast? Do you feel as if you are running hard, but staying in the same place? Well, you are not alone. According to a recent study, 78% of the young people say the “sped-up"pace(節(jié) 奏）of modern life is making them feel really tired.

Rapid changes in technology and society are the main causes of the problem. And the continuous bombardment(轟炸）of information can be another cause. With everyone connected by smart phones, young people can easily learn about the newest, the latest and the coolest things happening around them. No one wants to miss a hot topic. And with all the videos, games and messages they get from smart phones, they feel uncomfortable when it's quiet-so boring!

Is there a way to help stop the“sped-up”life? Yes, there is. Turn off your smart phone! Staying away from your phone for a few hours each day will put you back in control of your life. Even Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were worried about the influences of the technologies they had created. They didn't allow their own kids to use the smart phones and the Internet for too long.

As human beings, we are not supposed to be stimulated(刺激）all the time. It can even both our physical and mental health. So, slow down to visit a park, read a book and take up a hobby. It's a little bit hard at first and you have to make a great effort, but it's you who can take control of your time and life, isn't it?

【1】According to the survey, most young people think the modern life is________.

A.colorfulB.surprisingC.excitingD.tiring

【2】Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are mentioned to show that________ .

A.the technologies are not always goodB.they were quite strict with their kids

C.they regretted creating the technologiesD.the technologies play a big role in our life
