Answer 1

分析 正文部分介绍了对广场舞持反对意见和赞成意见的两组人各自的观点．广场舞已经成为日常生活中的一个热门话题．人们一直讨论广场舞是否应该被支持还是被限制．爱好者们相信广场舞可以帮助老年人保持健康，那些独自生活的人在跳舞的时候可以和别人进行交流．如果政府能够提供大的场地，人们可以远离居住区跳舞，这样就很少有人抱怨了．反对者说广场舞引起的噪音是他们反对的主语原因．他们认为跳广场舞的人只顾做自己喜欢的事情，而没有考虑别人的感受．并且广场舞并不是适合所有人锻炼的唯一的好方式．

解答 56．答案：whether  细节理解题 根据题干信息结合句子中的 supported or limited可以推断句意是"人们一直讨论广场舞是否应该被支持还是被限制．"表示"是否"用whether，故答案为：whether 
57．答案：alone  细节理解题 根据原文中的Square dancing has become an important socializing opportunity（社交机会）for those parents whose grown children have left to start their own families．"对那些孩子们离开家开始自己的家庭生活的父母来说，广场舞是一个很重要的社交机会．所以本题用"那些独自生活的父母"，表达"独自生活"用副词alone修饰动词live，故答案为：alone 
58．答案：provided  细节理解题 根据原文当中的If governments provide large places where people can dance a bit far from living blocks"如果政府提供人们可以远离居住区跳舞的大的场所…"这句话，本题设空处所在句子由于主语people是动作provide的承受者，所以用被动语态，且是一般现在时，一般现在时被动语态的构成是：主语+am/is/are+动词的过去分词，故答案为：provided
59．答案：reason 推理判断题 结合设空处后面的why they are against it"他们为什么反对广场舞"，定语从句的引导词为why表原因，推测本句的句意是"反对者说广场舞引起的噪音是他们为什么反对的主要原因．"设空处放在形容词main后面所以填名词reason（原因），根据前面的is判断用名词单数，故答案为：reason
60．答案：considing/caring 推理判断题 结合原文中的Square dancing is something that elderly people themselves invented．They just want to be left by themselves to do what they like．"广场舞是老年人自己发明的，他们只想自己能做喜欢做的事情"，推测本句的句意是"他们认为跳广场舞的人只顾做自己喜欢的事情，而没有考虑/在乎别人的感受．"由于设空处放在介词without后面，所以填动词的ing形式，动词"考虑"或"在乎"是consider 或care，故答案为：considing/caring
