This winter, Blossoms Shanghai (电视剧《繁花》) has been the talk of the city and beyond. Viewers (观众) all over China have been watching and talking about the TV series. Their strong interest has even brought many fans to the city. They come to walk down Huanghe Road, eat pork chops with rice cakes, and, of course, learn Shanghainese.
Blossoms Shanghai has two versions (版本). One is in Mandarin (普通话) and the other is in the Shanghai dialect. Many people like the dialect version better. They say it better shows the magic of the city’s culture.
Part of that magic lies in the culture’s openness. Do you know what “lao hu chuang” means? Well, this phrase has nothing to do with “tigers”. It comes from the English term “roof window”. In the Shanghai dialect (方言), “tiger” sounds close to “roof”. Another example is “wo se”. It comes from the word “worse”. People use it to say that they feel sad. English surely isn’t the only influence (影响) on Shanghainese. The local languages of neighboring cities have had influence on it, too.
In most schools, students are told to speak only Mandarin to make communication easier. But many students continue speaking it after school. Over time, they forget their “native language”. I recently asked some of my young Shanghainese friends how to say “kitchen” in the Shanghai dialect. Most of them answered, “zi vang”. Few said, “zao pi ge” (灶披间) or “zao dou ge”.
Many people are now learning or relearning the Shanghai dialect from Blossoms Shanghai. Would you like to join them?
34．What don’t viewers do after watching Blossoms Shanghai according to the passage?
A．Visit Shanghai.
B．Learn Shanghainese.
C．Eat pork chops with rice cakes.
D．Talk about the streets in Shanghai.
35．Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ________.
A．the magic of Shanghai dialect
B．Shanghai dialect about animals and English
C．examples about how English influences Shanghainese
D．how the local languages of neighboring cities influence Shanghainese
36．Which of the following is true according to this passage?
A．Viewers are most interested in the food in the Blossoms Shanghai.
B．All students in Shanghai are told to speak only Mandarin at school.
C．Shanghainese have forgotten how to speak dialect these years.
D．Blossoms Shanghai in the Shanghai dialect is much more popular.
37．Which of the following may be the purpose (目的) of this passage?
A．To attract more people to visit Shanghai.
B．To introduce the TV series called Blossoms Shanghai.
C．To ask people to speak only Mandarin at school.
D．To wish people to speak both dialect and Mandarin.

参考答案
一、单项选择（本题共14小题；每小题1分，满分14分）
从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中， 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
1．A
【详解】句意：——哇，饼干做好了！妈妈，我现在可以尝尝吗？——当然。
考查冠词。空后是名词复数“cookies”，不能用a修饰，结合选项可知，the符合语境；have a try“尝一尝”，是固定短语。故选A。
2．C
【详解】句意：从你家到农场有点远。你为什么不坐公共汽车去那里呢？会更快。
考查特殊疑问句。how about……怎么样呢；Could you你可以……吗；Why don’t you你何不；Don’t别，不要。根据“It’s a little far from your home to the farm.”可知，农场离家远，说明此处建议乘坐公交车，横线后是动词原形，应用“Why don’t you do sth?”来提建议。故选C。
3．C
【详解】句意：明天将有一场足球赛。
考查there be结构的将来时。此处表示“有”用结构there be；根据“tomorrow”可知此处用there be结构的将来时there be going to be，主语是名词单数，be动词用is。
