成认自己所犯的错误从来都不是一件容易的事，但是这样做是向前迈进的重要一步。

?国家地理?杂志最近发表了一篇题为?几十年来，我们的报道都是种族主义的?的文章。

要超越我们的过去，我们必须成认它。

并介绍了?国家地理?杂志中详细的关于种族主义的事例。

【1题详解】
考察情态动词。

句意：要超越我们的过去，我们必须成认它。

根据空格后面为动词原形，因此推测出此处应填情态动词，再观察上下文的语气强烈，前面to rise引导出的目的状语也说明此处填must为最正确。

故填must。

【2题详解】
考察非谓语动词。

句意：这篇文章是由该杂志主编苏珊·戈德堡撰写的，她是担任该职位的第一位女性和第一位犹太人。

因空格前两个序数词first可推测出需要to do不定式修饰，因此填to hold。

【3题详解】
考察固定用法。

句意：?国家地理?成认，它对HY乃至全世界黑人和少数族裔的报道在历史
上一直带有种族主义色彩，经常宣传对“高贵的野蛮人〞的漫画，几乎不涉及HY的少数族裔人口。

根据上文frequently以及barely, 可见此处还应有一个not 否认词，双重否认来表示肯定，因此填not featuring。

【4题详解】
考察定语从句连接词。

句意：为了纪念马丁·路德·金被杀50周年，这个问题的主题是种族。

马丁·路德·金以反对HY的种族不平等而出名。

本句为定语从句修饰先行词Martin Luther King，且先行词在从句中做主语，指人，因此填who。

【5题详解】
考察形容词最高级。

句意：1916年的一篇关于澳大利亚的文章中有两名澳大利亚土著人的照片，并配以文字说明:“南澳大利亚黑人:这些野人的智商在所有人类中最低。

〞根据下文of all human beings,可知上文是批评对外乡澳洲人的歧视，因此填low的最高级，the lowest。

【6题详解】
考察代词。

句意：“直到20世纪70年代，?国家地理?杂志几乎都忽略了生活在HY的有色人种，除了劳工和家庭佣工之外，很少成认其别人种，〞戈德堡在谈到梅森的发现时写道。

此处指代上文中提到的laborers 和 workers之外的有色人种，且为复数，因此填those。

【7题详解】
考察固定短语。

句意：“与此同时，它把其他地方的‘原住民’描绘成异类，他们以经常赤身裸体、快乐的猎人和高贵的野蛮人而出名。

〞固定短语pictureas“把……描绘成……〞，因此填as。

【8题详解】
考察非谓语动词。

句意：梅森还发现，该杂志经常登载“未开化〞的当地人被“开化〞的西
方科技震惊的照片。

amaze在句中做非谓语动词与逻辑主语natives构成被动，因此填过去分词amazed。

【9题详解】
考察短语。

句意：戈德堡在承受美联社采访时表示:“之前的报道是不正确的，因为它是从HY白人的角度来讲述的，我认为它准确地反映了我们需要多样化的故事讲述者的每一个人。

〞空格前后为因果关系，因此填in that。

Orwell’s Impact on the World
Few writers have had such an impact on the thinking of the modern world as British writer George Orwell(1903—1950)．Orwell wrote many things on a variety of topics，for example，poverty in England in the 1930s during the Great Depression and his experience in the Spanish Civil War(1936—1939)．
But he is most famous for his works of fiction，Animal Farm(1945) and，especially，Nineteen Eighty-Four(1949)．These last books became especially influential in the West in the 1950s during the early Cold War years．
In Nineteen Eighty-Four，Orwell imagined a Britain of the future, modeled on the Soviet union. His chilling tale of Winston Smith，a regular man who comes into conflict with the government，was close to the fears of many people of the time．Ideas from the novel soon entered everyday culture，and are still in use today．“Big Brother〞，for example，is a phrase from the book that refers to how authority is always looking over one’s shoulder.
Other phrases used in the novel, like “War is Peace〞and “Freedom is slavery〞are also still used now．Indeed，many people see Orwell’s book as warnings about what might happen if those in power become corrupted．
Even today，Orwell remains an influential voice. Often，writers achieve great fame and popularity，but they don’t affect how people live their everyd ay lives．For example, British author JK Rowling is a huge literary success, but people wouldn’t say that Harry Potter has affect the way people think about politics. For better or for worse, however, George Orwell has.
It’s because of Orwell’s influence on popular thinking that UNESCO’S Memory of the World Programme recently decided to include a collection of Orwell’s writings on its register．
The Memory of the World register is similar to UNESCO’s world heritage site program，which protects places and buildings and natural features in the world．According to its website，the idea behind the body is “that the world’s documentary evidence belongs to all〞and should be “permanently accessible to all〞．
University College London，which proposed the idea to UNESCO，said in its application that Orwell’s work “had a great influence on human thought in all parts of the world，an influence that remains potent today〞．
36. What do we know about Orwell?
A. His most famous works were based on his own experience．
B. His books were well-received during the Cold-War．
C. He mainly wrote about imaginative, beautiful worlds．
D. His writings are often compared to those of JK Rowling．
37. What’s the novel Nineteen eight-Four about?
A. The cruelty of war in the 20th century.
B. The serious effects of poverty in England.
C. People’s various conflicts with the government.
D. A corrupt UK government of the future.
38. The phrases from Orwell’s books are mentioned in the article mainly
to__________．
A. share some of his classic ideas
B. show how he used language in a creative way
C. stress his ideas are still meaningful today
D. show how he described the dark side of society
39. Why were Orwell’s writings included on the Memory of the Word register?
A. They introduced a new way of writing．
B. They were a huge literary success．
C. They shaped political systems in Western countries．
D. They continue to have a great influence on human thought.

细节理解题。

文章第一段的最后一句Orwell wrote many things on a variety of topics，for example，poverty in England in the 1930s during the Great Depression and his experience in the Spanish Civil War(1936—1939)．〔奥威尔写了很多关于各种主题的东西，例如，1930年代大萧条时期英国的贫困和他在西班牙内战(1936-1939)中的经历。

〕可推知小说?一九八四?讲述了一个腐败的英国政府的将来。
