dinner that evening.Since it wasn't dark yet after the meal,I decided to walk home from the restaurant.I had traveled that way before,yet I had never noticed that old little shop.But that night I felt drawn to theviolin shop the moment I came across it.I wiped the dirt from the window to get a better look inside.Several violins hung from the dark walls,quietly waiting to be chosen.As my eyes rested on them,I felt as though I were looking through a window into my own past.My childhood was all about the pursuits I had attempted,most of which had been chosen by Mom.She was like,"Join the swim team,Tara.Your sister is a good swimmer;surely you will be,too."What she refused to acknowledge, however,was that I was visibly afraid of waterEvery Saturday I begged Mom not to make me go to the swim meet,but had little chance of success.That said,with a bang of the starting gun,I would dive into the cold water with all my strength and swim to the other side of the pool as fast as I could,only to find that the other swimmers slid past me.I would have given it up if I had not heard my father's encouraging shouts to cheer me on.When at last my hand would grab the edge of the pool,he would always be there with a warm,dry towel,telling me how proud he was of my desperate efforts.Then came a turning point in my life the day our school orchestra(警弦乐队)visited my class,and gave a demonstration.The drums annoyed me.The flutes(笛子)bored me.But the violin…ah,the violin.It made the swe etest sound Id ever heard!My heart was dancing along with its flowing tune.For the first time in my life,I went so wild with joy.Tightly holding the permission slip from the orchestra director.I ran all the way home after school,and shakily handed it to my parents with a fear that they might dismiss my desire.They didn't.Mom was thrilled to see me finally excited about something,and Dad winked(眨眼示意)at me while eagerly signing the slip.I began practicing the violin with great passion,and rose quickly inability.Before long I had won the first seat in the community orchestra …41.What did the sight of the violins in that little shop bring to Tara's mind?A.Her miserable past.B.An unforgettable sport event.C.The stories behind the violinsD.Her childhood memory.42.What Dad did for Tara during the swimming competition implies that he isA.mindless and bad-temperedB.caring and supportiveC.strict and demandingD.tolerant and sympathetic43.What fascinated Tara during her school orchestra's demonstration?A.The tune of the flutes.B.The beat of the drums.C.The sound of the violin.D.The manner of the musicians.44.What enabled Tara to win the first seat in the community orchestra?A.The steady improvement in her taste.B.Her strong desire for success.C.Her natural gift for music.D.The rapid progress in her ability.45.What message does Tara's story convey?A.It's never too young to learn.B.A passionate interest works wonders.C.Hard work will pay off in the long run.D.Like mother,like daughter.CGetting the"side-eye"look from your dog can make it seem like they are making a judgement about you,and some new studies suggest they really could beThe ability to judge others'intentions is an indicator of possessing"theory of mind"which was once thought to be unique to humans.However,new studies have shown that dogs can read human behaviour and have a preference to people who are more friendly or generous with food.One such study published in 2023 aimed to see if dogs can tell the difference between humans who are“unwilling"or“unable”to give them a treat.96 dogs were involved in both“unwilling"and"unable”scenarios(情境)designed for the study.Both scenarios involved a dog being placed on one side of a glass screen with small holes in it at nose-height,and an experimenter standing on the other.In the"unwilling'scenario,the experimenter would hang a piece of sausage in front of the screen in a"teasing(戏耍的)manner,and approach one of the holes.But instead of passing it through the hole to the dog,they would then pull it out of its reach.For the unable"scenario,the experimenter would again move the treat towards the hole while the dog watched,but "accidentally"drop it before they could pass it through.The researchers observed that the dogs were much more patient,making more eye contact and staying closer to the screen after the“unable"scenario played out.In the“unwilling”scenario,however,the dogs looked at the experimenter less often,sat,lay down and wandered around more frequently.Another study from 2021 tested for “theory of mind”in dogs in a similar way,but the dogs were able to walk round the screen to obtain the treat after witnessing the experimenter's “unwilling"or“unable”behaviour.The main finding was that the dogs approached the experimenter significantly sooner in the unable scenario than in the unwilling scenario.However,the researchers of the 2023 study challenged that the food dropped on the floor in the clumsy(笨拙的)manner might have motivated the dogs to approach the experimenter considering that they probably often obtain food dropped on the floor in their daily lives.Now,more evidence has been provided that dogs distinguish between similar actions associated with different intentions.But how exactly they acquire such intention-reading abilities will be an exciting topic for future research.46.What is one of the new research findings according to Paragraph 2?A.Dogs also have “theory of mi nd”B.Dogs prefer food from generous people.C.Human behaviours are mostly intentionalD.Friendly animals can get food more easily47.What did the experimenter do in the"unwilling"scenario in the2023 study?A.They acted awkwardly while feeding the dog.B.They pretended to walk slowly away from the dog.C.They teased the dog by fixing the treat to the screen.D.They pulled the sausage beyond the dog's reach.48.How did the dogs of the 2023 study respond to the"unable"behaviour?A.By moving closer to the experimenter.B.By keeping wandering around.C.By ignoring the experimenterD.By lying still on the floor.49.How does the experiment design of the 2021 study differ from that of 2023?A.The dogs can watch the experimenter.B.The dogs can go to the other side of the screen.C.The dogs'responses are under close observationD.The dogs'habitual behaviours are under analysis.50.What do the dogs'different responses in"unwilling"and"unable scenarios"suggest?A.Dogs can tell“being friendly"from“being mean”B.Dogs'i ntelligence is gradually evolving.C.Dogs'intentions can be easily identifiedD.Dogs are a lot more emotional than other animalsDStorytelling is an ancient art form that has been used to hand down legends,tales and factual stories.Perhaps the first thing that springs to mind when you think of storytelling is the fantasy land that took shape in your mind while Mom or Dad told you stories about princes castles and monsters,with a unique voice for each character.Storytelling does not just take place at bedtime or round a campfire,however.It can take some other forms,either via the books we read or the films we watch.But they usually have some elements in common:rather than a list of dry facts,stories have plots and they introduce characters.We respond to stories,particularly when there is emotional detail.And unlike what we suppose,storytelling is not just a form of entertainment,but a form of learning as well.Longbefore reading and writing be-came widely spread and available,oral storytelling had already been a form that the wisdom and knowledge of the people were passed down from elders to children.A good story engages our curiosity, emotions and imagination.Storytelling helps with learning also because stories are easy to remember.Research has found that learning obtained from a well-told story is remembered more accurately,and for far longer,than from facts and figures.And above all,stories have a transformative power to allow us to see the world in a different way than we do if we just encounter it on our own.Stories are an entry point to understanding a different experience of the world.This aspect of storytelling presenting a different perspective of the world is important when it comes to connecting with each other.It gives us an opportunity to learn from another person's experience and it can shape,strengthen or challenge our opinions and values.So,when someone tells us their own personal story,we catch a glimpse(警见)of a view of the world that may be slightly or significantly different from our own.When we see the world as they see it,or walk in their shoes,the experience can in-spire empathy(共情；同理心)with them.51.What occurs to us the moment we think of“storytelling?A.A child's imaginary worldB.Voices of Mom or Dad.C.An ancient art form.D.Factual stories.52.What are the common elements in all forms of storytelling according to the author?A.Form and style.B.Facts and figures.C.Emotional and physical detailsD.A series of events and characters53.Why does storytelling work better than mere statement of facts in promoting learning?A.It carries more wisdom and knowledge.B.It is more widely available to young learners.C.It satisfies our imagination and releases our emotions.D.It makes what is learned more precise and longer lasting54.How can other people's personal stories probably benefit us?A.By offering us more opportunities to know people.B.By helping us stay connected with the contemporary world.C.By allowing us to understand the world the way they see it.D.By enabling us to tell reality from imagination.55.What makes the best title for the passage?A.The History of StorytellingB.The Power of StorytellingC.The Forms of StorytellingD.The Art of Storytelling2023年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(天津卷)英语笔试(第二次)第Ⅱ卷注意事项：1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。

They held hands,shouting and yelling into the sky.They looked and sounded so free.I’ve always found cold water thrilling.The shock of it is like pressing a switch.It seems to reset my body and soul.And last winter,I definitely needed a reset.I woke up most mornings with a dull,grey feeling as I forced myself out of bed to start the day.I needed something to cheer myself up,but I didn’t know what,until that day.The ice warriors(勇士)emerged from the lake,their skin steaming.Trembling,they were yet laughing and hugging each other.I called out:“You guys are awesome!”One woman waved back,“Come and join us!We’re here every Monday morning.”The night before my first dip(游泳),I was excited and nervous.Cold water was one thing,but this icy lake was a whole other level.Should I back out?Eventually,I got up in the dark and drove to the meeting spot.After some wild warm up,I charged into the lake along with others.We yelled into the sky.Teeth chattering heart rates slowing,fingers and toes going numb(麻木),we stayed there for somewhere between two and five minutes.Knowing it was my first time,people cheered me on.It felt amazing.I was stupid with cold,but I couldn’t remember the last time I’d felt so happy.Now I go dipping almost every day,and I’ve come to long for that moment when the cold becomes a second skin and my internal voice goes silent.Apart from the thrill of those first heart-stopping dives,which,ironically, saved me from going under,what has drawn me is this community of generous,open-hearted souls.We laughed together,often,but from the stories we’ve shared about ourselves,I know I’m not the only one who faces life’s challenges.Holding hands in the freezing lake,we looked out for each other last winter and will do so through this one.It won’t fix everything in our lives—but for some reason,it helps.At the end of each session I return home feeling stronger,lighter,more able to carry on.As another winter sets in,I’m more than ready to embrace the cold again.39．When the author saw the people in the lake,her feeling can be best described as__________ A．nervous B．amazedC．frightened D．calm40．Why did the author think of joining the swimmers?A．To expand her social circle.B．To lift her spirits again.C．To adapt to the cold weather.D．To prepare for a new careerenjoy that feeling.The part of the brain related to pleasure is activated in response to something we find beautiful. This system can be affected in fascinating ways,as found by research using transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS) (经颅磁刺激).If TMS is applied to a specific part of your brain behind your forehead that is particularly important for decision-making,you suddenly like different kinds of art.Such stimulation produces significant changes in aesthetic appreciation of faces,bodies and artworks.The third part is meaning-knowledge.This is to do with how we can connect with a piece of art and what meaning we can create in it.Art is deeply personal,because when two people see the same artwork,our perception can create vastly different experiences of meaning.If we find meaning,then we often find pleasure.We also get enjoyment from the knowledge of how something was made.For the images that an artist creates,viewers will probably get far more enjoyment once they know the process used to create them.Informed by neuroaesthetics,the next time I create my art I will value the process even more,enjoying the activation of the aesthetic triad in my brain as I admire the vivid images that I have created.44．What does“neuronal fireworks”in Paragraph2refer to?A．A beautiful painting or sculpture.B．The lighting-up of specific brain areas.C．An advanced brain imaging technology.D．The aesthetic assessment of modern art.45．What effect does movement in art produce on the viewers?A．Certain part of their brain is activated.B．Their experience of pain is reduced.C．Their aesthetic sense is sharpened.D．Their body reactions are delayed.46．The application of TMS to the brain described in Paragraph5leads to__________.A．raised memory capacityB．enhanced painting skillsC．changed artistic tasteD．improved decision-making ability47．According to the author,what increases our enjoyment of a piece of art?A．Knowing how it is created.B．Having a pleasant personality.C．Learning how science develops.D．Understanding the meaning of life.48．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A．To propose an abstract theory of art making.B．To reveal the beauty of science in an artistic way.C．To share some personal understanding of artworks.D．To introduce a new research field for art appreciation.(2023年第一次，D)Most people with good sense would accept that we can and should learn from accidental failures.It would be impossible to progress in anything,after all,without taking the occasional misstep.And by understanding how we slipped,we can avoid falling in the future.Few would advocate making intentional mistakes,however.Yet consciously erring(犯错)can promote deeper understanding and better recall.The phenomenon is known as the derring effect—coming from“deliberate(故意的) erring”—and when applied properly,it may bring benefits in many unexpected areas of life.In one experiment carried out at the National University of Singapore,participants were given the task of learning concepts on a difficult subject.For some terms,they simply copied out the correct definition;for others, they were asked to first add an error in their description of the term before correcting the mistake.Naturally,you would expect the addition of the errors to have increased unwanted confusion.Yet the exact opposite was true:the participants who made deliberate errors learned about twice as much as the people who simply copied out the correct definitions.The derring effect could be applied in other situations.So a music teacher may find the addition of deliberate errors could help a student remember the right musical notes.Such a playful approach could fuel their creativity for composition,if the student looks for ways to develop those wrong notes into something more attractive.It is encouraging to discover that by readily accepting our errors and wisely placing ourselves in the way of being wrong,we can in fact overcome weaknesses and rise stronger.The derring effect could be useful for many other challenges too.If you enjoy cooking,for example,you may faithfully follow a recipe without questioning the instructions.But why not try to break away from those habits and deliberately do the“wrong”thing for a change,and see where your derring takes you?If you arepainting,meanwhile,you could relax one of the constraints(限制)that you usually put on your work and see whatyou produce.At worst,you will have refreshed and deepened your knowledge of the rules you normally apply,so that you can be even more effective next time.At best,you may just find that you have discovered something completely new and unexpected,through a flash of inspiration that you would have missed with perfectionism.Either way, your apparent missteps will have moved you a little closer to true mastery.49．In Paragraph1,the author presents____________.A．a routine warningB．a popular misbeliefC．a commonly-held viewD．a theoretical assumption50．What can be learnt about the experiment?A．Adding intentional errors facilitates learning.B．Correcting mistakes is the key to learning.C．Errors contribute to confusion in learning.D．Learners make fewer errors in difficult subjects.51．According to the author using the approach mentioned in Paragraph5may result in_______. A．disappointing performancesB．greater creative powerC．the discovery of problemsD．the admission of weaknesses52．Which of the following would the author encourage you to do?A．Strictly follow traditional recipes when cooking.B．Avoid making mistakes and be a perfectionist.C．Occasionally ignore traffic regulations.D．Try unconventional coloring in painting.53．What could be the best title for the passage?A．The Challenge of DerringB．Erring Prevents FailureC．To Err is FruitfulD．Errors:Accidental or Intentional1．A【详解】考查介词短语词义辨析。

For most students, it’s the first time they’re living away from home and managing their own life.Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life.Goal settingWhen setting goals, whether theyre academic, career, or personal, re-member they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success.Interpersonal skillsAt college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions andlistening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone elses shoes, and enhance yourself-confidence.StudyingWith fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, youre re-quired to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you’ll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write pa-pers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule.BudgetingManaging money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college hat they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial ballince. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine low much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Dont forget about savings…and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too.36. Who is this passage most probably written for?A. College teachers.B. Universily graduates.C. High school teachers.D. Would-be college students.37. What is the authors suggestion for reaching a huge goal?A. Divide it into smaller, more achievable ones.B. Reward oneself for each goal one has set.C. Purchase a clear, updated roadmap.D. Push oneself to an upper level.38. One of the suggested ways to enhance your interpersonal skills is to .A. prepare complicated questionsB. try on someone elses shoesC. listen to others carefullyD. take advantage of others39. What is the key to successful college study according to the author?A. Being well-organized.B. Being well-informed.C. Effective reading skills.D. Reliable research methods.40. To learn how to manage money, the first thing to do is .A. save money for financial investmentB. estimate ones income and expensesC. set aside money for fun activitiesD. open a personal bank accountBIm an 18-year-old pre-medical student, tall ndgood-looking, with two short story books and quite a number of essays my credit. Why am I singing such praises of myself? Just to explain that he attainment of self-pride comes from a great deal of self-love, and to attain it, one must first learn to accept oneself as one is. That was where my struggle began.Born and raised in Africa，I had always taken my African origin as burden. My self-dislike was further fueled when my family had to relocate to Norway, where I attended a high school. Compared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I ,a black girl, had curly hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it, whatever the weather was. I just wanted to bury myself in my shell crying “I’m so different!”What also contributed to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering (口吃), which had weakened my self-confidence. It always stood between me and any fine opportunity. Id taken it as an excuse to avoid any public speaking sessions, and unknowingly let it rule over me.Fortunately, as I grew older, there came a turning point. One day a white girl caught my eye on the school bus when she suddenly turned back. To my astonishment, she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November! “Wow,” I whispere d to myself, “this isnt a genetic(遗传的) disorder after all. Its perfectly normal.” Days later, my life took an-other twist(转折). Searching the internet for stuttering cures, I accidentally learned that such famous people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered. I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me—if Im smart, I shouldnt allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success.Another boost to my self-confidence came days later as I was watching the news about Oprah Winfrey, the famous talkshow host and writer—shes black too! Whenever I think of her story and my former dislike of my color, Im practically filled with shame.Today, Ive grown to accept what I am with pride; it simply gives me feeling of uniqueness. The idea of self-love has taken on a whole new meaning for me: theres always something fantastic about us, and what w need to do is learn to appreciate it.41. What affected the authors adjustment to her school life in Norway!A Her appearanceB. Social discrimɪnation.C. Her changing emotions.D. The climate in Norway.42. What did the authors occasional stuttering bring about according on Paragraph 3?A. Her lack of self-confidence.B. Her loss of interest in school.C. Her unwillingness to greet her classmates.D. Her desire for chances to improve herself.43. How did the author feel on noticing the similarity between her and ne girl on the bus?A. Blessed and proud.B. Confused and afraid.C. Amazed and relieved.D. Shocked and ashamed.44. What lesson did the author learn from the cases of Newton and Churchill?A. Great minds speak alike.B. Stuttering is no barrier to success.C. Wisdom counts more than hard work.D. Famous people cant live with their weaknesses.45. What can best summarize the message contained in the passage?A. Pride comes before a fall.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. Self-acceptance is based on the love for oneself.D. Self-love is key to the attainment of self-pride.CIs it true that our brain alone is responsible fo human cognition(认知)? What about our body? Is it possible for thought and behavior to originate from somewhere other than our brain? Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition(EC) ask similar questions. The E(theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equalmeasure.If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They dont have emotions so much as needs—they dont feel sad, theyre just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world，they cry when theyre cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to as-sociate being warm with being loved.Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still dis-agree on whether the brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions.Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one ex-periment, test subjects(试验对象) were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink.They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too;in another study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being included in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer.For further proof, we can look at the metaphors(比方说法)that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages.Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it? If youre having a bad day,a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know youre physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions.46. According to the author, the significance of the EC theory lies in .A. facilitating our understanding of the origin of psychologyB. revealing the major role of the mind in human cognitionC. offering a clearer picture of the shape of human brainD. bringing us closer to the truth in human cognition47. Where does the new borns’ understanding of their surroundings start from?A. Their personal looks.B. Their mental needs.C. Their inner emotions.D. Their physical feelings.48. The experiments mentioned in Paragraph 4 further prove .A. environment impacts how we judge othersB. how body temperature is related to healthC. the mind and the body influence each otherD. how humans interact with their surroundings49. What does the author intend to prove by citing the metaphors in Paragraph 5?A. Human speech is alive with metaphors.B. Human senses have effects on thinking.C. Human language is shaped by visual images.D. Human emotions are often compared to natural materials.50. What is the authors purpose in writing the last paragraph?A. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions.B. To guide the reader onto the path to career success.C. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice.D. To deepen the readers understanding of EC.DRalph Emerson once said that the purpose of life is not to be happy, but to be useful, to be loving, to make some difference in he world. While we appreciate such words of wisdom, we rarely try to follow them in our lives.Most people prefer to live a good life themselves, ignoring their responsibilities for the world. This narrow perception of a good life may provide short-term benefits, but is sure to lead to long-term harm and suffering. A good life based on comfort and luxury may eventually lead to more pain be-cause we spoil our health and even our character, principles, ideals, and relationships.What then, is the secret of a good life? A good life is a process, not a state of being : a direction, not a destination. We have to earn a good life by first serving others without any expectation in return because their happiness is the very source of our own happiness. More importantly, we must know ourselves inside out. Only when we examine ourselves deeply can we discover our abilities and recognize our limitations, and then work accordingly to create a better world.The first requirement for a good life is having a loving heart. When we do certain right things merely as a duty, we find our job so tiresome that we’ll soon burn out. However, whenwe do that same job out of love, we not only enjoy what we do, but also do it with an effortless feeling.However, love alone is insufficient to lead a good life. Love sometimes blinds us to the reality. Consequently, our good intentions may not lead to good results. To achieve desired outcome, those who want to do good to others also need to equip themselves with accurate world knowledge. False knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance. If love is the engine of a car knowledge is the steering wheel(方向盘). If the engine lacks power, th car cant move; if the driver loses control of the steering, a road accident probably occurs. Only with love in heart and the right knowledge in mind can we lead a good life.With love and knowledge, we go all out to create a better world by doing good to others. When we see the impact of our good work on the world we give meaning to our life and earn lasting joy and happiness.51. What effect does the narrow perception of a good life have on us?A. Making us simple-mindedB. Making us snort-signted.C. Leading us onto a busy road.D. Keeping us from comfort and luxury.52. According to the author, how can one gain true happiness?A. Through maintaining good health.B. By going through pain and suffering.C. By recognizing ones abilities and limitations.D. Through offering help much needed by others.53. According to Paragraph 4, doing certain right things with a loving heart makes one .A. less selfishB. less annoyingC. more motivatedD. more responsible54. In what case may good intentions fail to lead to desired results?A. When we have wrong knowledge of the world.B. When our love for the world is insufficient.C. When we are insensitive to dangers in life.D. When we stay blind to the reality.55. According to Paragraph 5, life can be made truly good when .A. inspired by love and guided by knowledgeB. directed by love and pushed by knowledgeC. purified by love and enriched by knowledgeD. promotedby love and defined by knowledge四、阅读表达It was a dark and stormy night. The ferocious wind shook the windows wildly, as though someone outside were beating on the glass. It was also New Years Eve. We were having our annual party and had a house full of people just starting to celebrate.Suddenly, we heard loud explosions. Looking outside and up into the hills, we saw sparks(火花) flying from electrical transformers(变压器).One area after another went dark up in those hills. Then there was the loudest explosion of them all and our house went dark too. I tried to find every candle we had and lit them. The candles made everything look lovely. But we had problems. We had fifteen people standing around and we still had to cook dinner. How would we do that without electricity?The barbecue! Why not cook on the barbecue? We men went outside, some holding flashlights and others cooking. We did a wonderful job. The women stayed inside and got the salads ready. Everything was delicious. There were still a few hours to go before the beginning of the new year, so we all sat around the dining room table and sang up until a few minutes be-fore midnight. We couldnt watch the ball drop in Times Square on television but that wouldnt stop us from celebrating. I stood on a chair and, with the help of someones watch to tell us the time, we all counted down and I dropped a tennis ball! We all screamed Happy New Year. We didn’t need electricity for that!Nowadays, we still get together with the same group to celebrate the New Year and we still talk about that special night.I dont think we have ever laughed so much as we did on that New Year’s Eve.56. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 1? (1 word)57. What made dinner preparation difficult according to Paragraph 2? (no more than 6 words)58. How did the people celebrate on New Years Eve according to the passage? (no more than 10 words)59. How does the author feel about that particular New Year’s Eve? (no more than 8 words)60. What do you think is the most necessary quality when dealing with an unexpected difficult situation?Please explain why. (no more than 25words)五、写作61.假设你是晨光中学英语口语社的成员李津。
