【分析】
要完成这道题，需结合每个句子的句意、词性要求及词汇的不同用法，从方框所给词语中选择合适的词并变换为适当形式，且每词仅用一次。具体思路：1. 第一句描述桌子的材质，需用表“由……制成”的短语，主语为单数，用一般现在时；2. 第二句被many修饰，需用可数名词复数，结合语境是工匠的作品；3. 第三句情态动词can后接动词原形，表“了解”的短语；4. 第四句与communication并列，需用名词，表“理解”；5. 第五句修饰动词gain，需用副词；6. 第六句是固定短语make an effort，表“努力”。
【解析】
1. 句意：我每天用的桌子由坚固的竹子制成，看起来很漂亮。be made of意为“由……制成（能看出原材料）”，主语the desk是第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，故填is made of。
2. 句意：专家给我们展示了许多古代工匠的伟大作品。work表示“作品”时是可数名词，many后接可数名词复数，故填works。
3. 句意：我们可以通过读书和看视频了解不同的文化。learn about意为“了解”，情态动词can后接动词原形，故填learn about。
4. 句意：良好的沟通和理解能帮助我们与他人和睦相处。understanding作名词，意为“理解”，与名词communication并列，故填understanding。
5. 句意：在博物馆参观期间，我们肯定会获得丰富的历史知识。surely是副词，用于修饰动词gain，意为“肯定，无疑”，故填surely。
6. 句意：不努力你永远不会实现梦想。make an effort是固定短语，意为“努力”，故填effort。

1. is made of 2. works 3. learn about 4. understanding 5. surely 6. effort

五、阅读理解
Starting along the Huaihe River in eastern China, Flower Drum Lantern dance is well-known for its bright colours, different forms and cheerful mood(氛围).
As a traditional treasure in China, the dance has a very long history. It is said to have appeared during the Song Dynasty, developed through the Ming Dynasty, and finally been widely welcomed during the Qing Dynasty. It is usually used to show the peaceful lives of people in the countryside.
In the dance, women dancers wear a red silk ball flower on their heads. In their hands, silk fans and scarves are used as props(道具). And the props used by men are mainly umbrellas, short wooden sticks and drums. Before 1949, women were discouraged from performing in public, so female roles(角色) were mostly played by men. That is why most of the older famous artists still alive today are men.
The dance is usually performed in an open area such as the central square of a village or the bank of a river. The audience(观众) usually come around in a circle. Inside the circle are several long benches(长凳) with the drum group on one side. The performers enter the circle with the women standing on the men’s shoulders, then the men lower the women to the benches and stand beside them. The show begins when the men with umbrellas enter the performance space.
Flower Drum Lantern dance is still quite popular across the country, especially in places such as Anhui, Henan and Jiangsu. Even today, village dance teams often compete with each other by performing the dances during the Spring Festival.

这是一篇介绍中国传统舞蹈花鼓灯舞的阅读理解题，共4道小题，分别考查词义猜测、细节理解、细节理解、主旨大意。解题时，第1题需定位到对应段落，结合上下文逻辑推测划线词含义；第2题需定位到相关段落，查找观众行为及表演细节；第3题需逐一核对选项与原文信息的匹配度，排除错误选项；第4题需梳理全文核心内容，概括主题确定标题。
【解析】
1. 词义猜测题：定位到第三段“Before 1949, women were discouraged from performing in public, so female roles were mostly played by men.”，由“女性角色大多由男性扮演”可推知，1949年前女性被阻止公开表演，discouraged意为“阻止”，对应选项A。
2. 细节理解题：定位到第四段，观众通常围成圈，表演在持伞的男性表演者入场时开始。选项A（站在广场中心）与原文不符，选项B是表演者角色而非观众行为，选项D（长凳两侧有鼓组）与原文不符，选项C（看持伞舞者表演）符合原文。
3. 细节理解题：逐一核对选项：A项与第五段“still quite popular across the country”矛盾；B项与第三段“男性道具主要是伞、短木棍、鼓”矛盾；C项与第二段“出现于宋朝”矛盾；D项与第三段最后一句“most of the older famous artists still alive today are men”一致，故选D。
