【解析】

这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲了对世界各地的许多人来说，除夕是国家的假日。作者回忆了除夕的许多美好记忆。

【1】考查非谓语。句意：这总是一个令人兴奋的时刻，因为人们期待着迎接新的一年。look forward to期待，该短语是固定短语，to是介词，后面接v+ing形式，所以填welcoming。

【2】考查形容词。句意：对世界各地的许多人来说，除夕是国家的假日。该空修饰名词holiday，用形容词，所以填national。

【3】考查时态和语态。句意：在很多国家，人们会回老家过年，所以通常火车和公共汽车上都挤满了人。描述经常或反复发生的动作，用一般现在时。“火车和公共汽车”与“挤满”之间是被动关系，用被动语态，所以填are packed。

【4】考查非限制性定语从句。句意：在英国，人们通常在某人家里举行新年晚会，邀请朋友、家人和邻居。_____4_____ is usually held at someone’s home and the host invites friends, families and neighbors.是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是a New Year’s Eve party，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，所以填which。

【5】考查固定短语。句意：客厅变成了一个迷你迪斯科舞厅，每个人都随着响亮的音乐跳舞。dance to随着……起舞，该短语是固定短语，所以填to。

【6】考查名词单复数。句意：我对除夕有很多美好的回忆。“美好的回忆”是复数意义，用名词复数，所以填memories。

【7】考查副词。句意：天下着雪，冷得刺骨。修饰形容词cold，用副词，所以填bitterly。

【8】考查不定式。句意：在那里，参拜神社并祈求好运是一种传统。不定式作主语，一般用it作形式主语，把作主语的不定式短语后置，所以填to visit。

【9】考查冠词。句意：我想无论你在哪里，除夕总是一个令人兴奋的日子。泛指“一个令人兴奋的日子”，exciting的首字母发音是元音，所以填不定冠词an。

【10】考查时态。句意：也许迎接新年的最后一种方式是在世界各地的城市观看令人惊叹的烟花表演。描述经常或反复发生的动作，用一般现在时，所以填is。

Why India’s ‘Pink City’ is a Photographer’s Heaven

The city of Jaipur is one of India’s wonders. It 【1】 some of the country’s most decorative royal palaces—elegant structures designed hundreds of years ago that still attract visitors today. Largely built in the 1700s, Jaipur is surrounded by a city wall and several 【2】 castles. Considered as a commercial center, it was ahead of its time due to the use of grid iron (网格状)city planning.

A romantic dusty pink type—which has 【3】 the city since 1876, after it was painted pink to welcome Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert—gives Jaipur its 【4】 as the “Pink City”. This 【5】 beauty is what first brought Hong Kong-based photographers Victor Cheng and Samantha Wong to Jaipur.

Walking in glass skyscrapers for century-old royal palaces and historic castles, the pair—who have 130,000 Instagram followers between them—said that the images they 【6】 in Jaipur received a lot of response online. “A lot of our followers hadn’t seen this side of India, so we’re happy we were able to show this side of the country.” Cheng said.

For the photographers, one of the city’s most fascinating features is the light pink coloring of its buildings. “The first gates you see when you enter are pink,” said Wong. “Once you’re through, everything around you varies in different 【7】 of the color—from bright pinks to reddish browns.”

The building is a(n) 【8】 of the City Palace, and its windows allowed royal women to observe street life without appearing in public. One of Cheng’s most striking photos shows a straight front of the building and its hundreds of windows. The building’s lively coloring also pushed Cheng to take a different 【9】 to editing than with images of other cities. “I toned down my usual editing process because the pink was so bright in reality,” he said, “I wanted the photos to 【10】 the actual color I was seeing myself and to maintain its tone.”

【题目】 Amazon is opening its 12th high-tech convenience store Tuesday in New York. The spot will be the first of the chain to allow customers to pay with cash. The move comes with growing resistance against cashless stores, which critics say refuse to serve people who don’t have bank accounts.

At other locations of the store, shoppers enter by scanning the Amazon Go app. That's still the case for customers paying with a credit card, but people paying with cash will have an “entry associate” scan them through the turnstiles (旋转栅门). Once they’re finished, those shoppers will check out with an Amazon Go employee and receive a paper receipt. Cashless customers can still walk out by scanning a phone that has the Amazon Go app at the turnstiles. Customers using the Go app can exit without waiting and get a digitized receipt.

The 1,300-square-foot New York store-the first Amazon Go store on the East Coast-will offer prepared foods, such as sandwiches and salads, It will also have Amazon Meal Kits and locally made options.

Amazon says it will begin accepting cash at its other Go stores “over time.” A number of retailers (零售商) and restaurants, such as Sweetgreen and Dos Toros Taqueria, are facing roadblocks to their cashless recommendations.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy recently signed a law banning cashless stores in that state. Philadelphia also passed a law to prohibit cashless stores earlier this month, and officials in New York City, Washington and San Francisco are considering similar moves. The federal government does not require retailers to accept cash.

“While card-only may be convenient for some businesses, it can actually be discriminatory against poor communities that don’t have as much access to banks or lines of credit,” said New Jersey State Senator Nellie Pou, who sponsored the state’s new law. Not accepting cash could also be bad for business. Americans use it in 30% of all business deals, according to a 2017 report from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.

【1】Why is Amazon opening a new store accepting cash?

A.To persuade those critics.B.To obey the local regulations.

【2】What will shoppers paying with cash do at the new store?

B.Walk out by scanning a phone with the Go app.

D.Check out with an employee and get a paper receipt.

【3】How did some states and cities react to cashless stores?

A.By making laws to stop them.

B.By requiring retailers to run them.

C.By learning from Amazon to improve them.

D.By following the federal government to accept them.

【4】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A.It s necessary to make cashless stores easily accessible.

B.More banks should be built in poor communities.

C.Card-only payment is convenient for business.

D.Not accepting cash has its disadvantages.
