　　The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms, which reflect the Chinese people's understanding of time. Here several special solar terms are listed.
Rain Water
Rain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, the river water unfreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again. Extra care is needed to cope with a returning cold spell in this period. The wet and damp weather during the Rain Water period is considered harmful to people's spleen (脾) and stomach according to Chinese medical practice. Therefore, a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to nourish the body.
Awakening of Insects
As the third solar term in the lunar year, its name implies that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. It is the key time for spring agricultural activities. Modern meteorological science shows that around this period, the earth becomes wet, and the hot humid air from the north is strong and creates frequent winds. For this reason, thunder often occurs.
Spring Equinox
The Spring Equinox signals the equal length of the day and night time. On the day of the Spring Equinox, the sun is directly above the equator. After the equinox, the sun moves northwards, resulting in gradually longer day time in the northern hemisphere. Standing an egg upright is a popular game during this period. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future.
Grain Rain
Grain Rain originates from the old saying, “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains”, which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and that people are busy working on the land. Grain Rain falls between the end of spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north. With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.
21.What can we know about Rain Water
A.River water starts to freeze.
B.Taking off the thick coats is advisable.
C.Lively spring-like scenery can be seen.
D.It falls between the end of spring and the start of summer.
22.What do Awakening of Insects and Grain Rain have in common
A.The farming season.　　　　
B.Animal activities.
C.Air temperature.　　　　
D.Frequent thunder.
23.In which solar term would people most probably put on masks
A.Rain Water.　　　　B.Grain Rain.
C.Spring Equinox.　　　　D.Awakening of Insects.

　　Five years ago, a couple found a baby owl, near-death, on their lawn. They consulted with me because of my experience with owls and hawks. Eventually my wife and I undertook the task of treating the owl, Alfie, waiting out developmental delay (most of her flight feathers came especially late that first summer), and then we taught her to fly and hunt. Alfie disappeared for a week. Then she chose to return, centering her territory (地盤) on our backyard. I put a nest box on my writing studio.
Alfie's first free-living year—mating, raising her first baby—coincided with the pandemic that limited us to our yard. Friends said the birds were singing aloud and happily. From Alfie's performance, I saw humans' unrest and worry when facing the unexpected virus. When Alfie and her mate, Plus-One, played in the shade, the daily rhythms and quietness of the owls' world contrasted with our life.
Many cultures view owls as messengers of God. However, Alfie is flesh and feathers; her heart pumps blood red as ours. She has her comforts and fears. She is a very real little being overall. Yet, throughout the isolation to prevent the spread of disease, Alfie loosed herself, living comfortably with her mate in the yard, which certainly inspired me and my family with hope. She is, in reality, a messenger, one conveying the real meaning of life.
To be fully present in life and love, so natural for Alfie, remains a job in progress for me. Alfie is the perfect little philosophical master. She enjoys a freedom unpolluted by criticism or doubt, and a liberty as the air flows beneath her wings. Resisting nothing, she is pure presence, here now. Perhaps I'd long labored toward the place where Alfie was effortlessly taking me, a sense of openness, showing what's possible when we mess up our accustomed boundaries.
Alfie remains our magical light of the nighttime backyard. By day she usually stays in a couple of favorite shaded spots. The choice is always hers. Free within limits; that's the universe for her. It can inspire a life's work.
24.What can we learn about Alfie from the first two paragraphs
A.She had a quick recovery.
B.She was first found by the author.
C.She set up a family in the backyard.
D.She was badly affected by the virus.
25.How does Alfie inspire the author and his family with hope
A.She lives a relaxed life.
B.She has no fears at all.
C.She has red blood as humans.
D.She is viewed as a messenger of God.
26.What does the author mean by describing Alfie's freedom as “unpolluted by criticism or doubt” in paragraph 4
A.Alfie is not influenced by social development.
B.Alfie is free from physical and mental limitations.
C.Alfie is completely independent and self-sufficient.
D.Alfie is not affected by external judgment or uncertainty.
27.What is the text mainly about
A.The author's successful rescue of an owl.
B.The author's reflection on life through an owl.
C.The author's precious friendship with an owl.
D.The author's fight against a pandemic with an owl.
C
　　“In agricultural, pre-industrial Europe, you'd want to wake up early, start working with the sunrise, have a break to have the largest meal, and then you'd go back to work,” says Ken Albala, a professor of history at the University of the Pacific. “Later, at 5 p.m. or 6 p.m., you'd have a smaller supper.”
This comfortable cycle, in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals, gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal, eaten with the extended family. “Meals are the foundation of the family,” says Carole Counihan, a professor at Millersville University in Pennsylvania, “so there was a very important interconnection between eating together and strengthening family ties.”
Since industrialization, maintaining such a slow cultural metabolism has been much harder, with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a lunch bucket or bought at a food stand. Certainly, there were benefits. Modern techniques for producing and shipping food led to greater variety and quantity, including a dramatic increase in the amount of animal protein and dairy products available, making us stronger than our ancestors.
Yet plenty has been lost too, even in cultures that still live to eat. Take Italy for example. It's no secret that the Mediterranean diet is healthy, but it was also a joy to prepare and eat. Italians, says Counihan, traditionally began the day with a small meal. The big meal came at around 1 p.m. In between the midday meal and a late, smaller dinner came a small snack. Today, when time zones have less and less meaning, there is little tolerance for offices' closing for lunch, and worsening traffic in cities means workers can't make it home and back fast enough anyway. So the formerly small supper after sundown becomes the big meal of the day, the only one at which the family has a chance to get together. “The evening meal carries the full burden that used to be spread over two meals,” says Counihan.
28.What do we learn about people in pre-industrial Europe
A.They had to work from early morning till late at night.
B.Their life was much more comfortable than that of today.
C.They were so busy working that they only ate simple meals.
D.Their daily routine followed the rhythm of the natural cycle.
29.What does Professor Carole Counihan say about pre-industrial European families eating meals together
A.It enabled families to save a lot of money.
B.It was characteristic of the agrarian culture.
C.It brought family members closer to each other.
D.It was helpful in maintaining a nation's tradition.
30.What does “cultural metabolism” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.Pace of life.　　　　B.Change in lifestyle.
C.Social progress.　　　　D.Evolutionary adaptation.
31.What does the author say about Italians of the old days
A.They were expert at cooking meals.
B.They enjoyed cooking as well as eating.
C.They ate a big dinner late in the evening.
D.They ate three meals regularly every day.
D
　　Does your neighborhood have plenty of birds If it does, this could be good news for your mental health because birdsong can help relieve anxiety. This is the finding of a newly published study, showing the great healing power of birdsong. The study on the effect of birdsong, based on real-time feedback via an app, points to a lasting improvement in mental well-being.
The lead author, Ryan Hammoud, explains that while there is growing evidence of the mental health benefits of being around nature, research on the power of birds to uplift us has been limited. “We humans have for the first time shown the direct link between hearing birdsong and positive moods,” he says. He hopes that this evidence will encourage the greater protection of birds and their environments, not only for biodiversity, but also for our mental health.
In an effort to understand the influence of birdsong on mental health, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin joined scientists from the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the University of Hamburg-Eppendorf to evaluate how birdsong and, by contrast, man-made traffic noise affect moods, paranoia (多疑) and the cognitive functioning. By using the Urban Mind app they did an experiment involving 295 healthy people. These participants heard six minutes of either traffic noise, or birdsong, completing questionnaires before and after hearing the sounds.
Significantly, the study authors emphasize that healthy people can also experience anxiety and temporary paranoid perceptions. They believe that the questionnaires helped identify these tendencies in healthy participants without them having a diagnosis (診斷) of mental health problems. Researchers found that hearing birdsong reduced anxiety in healthy participants but didn't appear to worsen depressive states. Traffic noise, meanwhile, was found to worsen depressive states. The study found that neither traffic noise nor birdsong impacted cognitive performance.
And if just hearing birdsong has such a calming effect when it's listened to via computers, Ryan Hammoud suggests this effect could be even better in the great outdoors.
32.What does Ryan Hammoud think of the research
A.Popular.　　　　B.Groundbreaking.
C.Costly.　　　　D.Time-consuming.
33.How did the researchers carry out the research
A.By making calls to selected participants.
B.By doing a questionnaire survey on the streets.
C.By conducting an experiment on the Internet.
D.By offering a diagnosis of participants' mental health.
34.What will the paragraph following the text most probably talk about
A.What applications birdsong is likely to have.
B.Where people can enjoy birdsong and benefit from it.
C.How outdoor sounds influence people's mental health.
D.Why hearing birdsong outdoors has a greater calming effect.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Birdsong Can Keep You Feeling Joyous
B.Protecting Birds Is Protecting Yourself
C.Birds Can Improve Your Cognitive Performance
D.Birdsong Benefits You Both Physically and Mentally

　　Being a good neighbor matters—not only because it makes life more pleasant, but also because being a good neighbor is part of being a good person.
Being a good neighbor has a lot to do with respecting privacy. 36.　　　, give neighbors a lot of space and try to sense when it's appropriate to back off (退讓).
37.　　　. Helping with physical work is one good way to establish trust. If your neighbor is going to move some heavy furniture, or needs help in fixing something you know your way around, offer to help out. Once you're getting familiar, this assistance can also extend to things like house-sitting (替人看家) or collecting the mail while your neighbor is away. Eventually, the day may come when you're asked to take care of their kids. 38.　　　 if you accept it.
It should go without saying that pet owners need to care for their animals properly. 39.　　　. There are few things more annoying for neighbors than a dog that uses their lawns (草坪) as a toilet, or that barks endlessly while chained up in a backyard. Don't mess around—be a kind and responsible pet owner.
There are times when a certain level of noise is fine and there are times when it isn't. 40.　　　. Turn the music down a bit after sunset, and further reduce the volume as it gets toward 10 p.m. It's usually fine to throw an occasional loud party as long as the neighbors are invited or have been informed.
A.It's good to know the difference
B.This includes cleaning up after them
C.It's often best to mind your own business
D.You had better say congratulations to your neighbor
E.Your family pet can be left in the trust of a neighbor
F.You'll probably end up playing with and entertaining these children
G.But it's just as important to know when the time is right to offer some help

Oh, this was terrible. “Thank you for volunteering to coach soccer...” the letter began. Coach Soccer Me That was crazy. My knowledge of the sport began and ended with you-can't-use-your-hands.
I have just graduated from high school. There was a summer holiday long enough to do something unusual. Father advised me to pick up a part-time job in our community, like teaching kids to swim or helping them with their subjects. “You'll learn a lot,” he said. So, when Community Sports asked for volunteers, I signed up for data entry, which I thought was helping to put data into a computer. Keyboards, I knew. Coaching Impossible!
Realizing there must be something wrong, I quickly called the head coach about the misunderstanding. It did not go well. He had been away from home and would not be coaching soccer at all. Panicked, I called the other assistant coach. He said, “It isn't difficult to teach a bunch of first graders about soccer. Be confident.”
“Are you kidding me ” I hung up the phone, smiling bitterly.
I phoned a Community Sports officer about my dilemma. “I am sorry,” he said. “Not enough people are willing to volunteer. If you cannot coach soccer, we will call your team and let them know they will not be playing this season.” Seriously, that was his solution I hung up the phone, saying I would call back to let him know my choice. I couldn't imagine the kids' disappointed face when they were told their team wouldn't play because Community Sports couldn't find them a coach.
That afternoon, when Father came back, I told everything to him, complaining about how careless and ridiculous the community workers were. They should have suggested my “pretending” to be a coach.
Father stared at me, “Hey, listen! I remember you like watching soccer games.”
“Watching is one thing but coaching is another,” I protested.
“Why not learn the game with the kids To those first graders, it's just a game. Just make it fun. Besides, you'll gain more than them.”

第一節(jié)
A
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了中國二十四節(jié)氣中的“雨水”“驚蟄”“春分”和“谷雨”,讓我們進一步了解了這四個節(jié)氣的氣候和習俗。
21.C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句“With its arrival, the river water unfreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again.(隨著它的到來,河水解凍,大雁由南向北遷徙,樹木和草又變綠了)”可知,雨水之后就能看到生機勃勃的春景了。故選C。
22.A　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“It is the key time for spring agricultural activities.”可知,驚蟄是農(nóng)業(yè)活動的關(guān)鍵時候。根據(jù)最后一段第一句“Grain Rain originates from the old saying, ‘Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains’, which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and that people are busy working on the land.”可知,谷雨對作物生長至關(guān)重要。結(jié)合來看,驚蟄和谷雨這兩個節(jié)氣對農(nóng)業(yè)來說都很重要,是耕作的季節(jié)。故選A。
23.B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.”可知,谷雨時沙塵暴經(jīng)常出現(xiàn),所以人們最可能在谷雨時需要佩戴口罩保護自己。故選B。
熟詞生義
1.signal 熟義:n.信號;暗號　生義:v.標志;表明;預示　2.spell 熟義:v.拼寫　生義:n.(持續(xù)的)一段時間
B
語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文,主要講述了一對夫婦救治了一只瀕危的小貓頭鷹,并從它在后院的生活方式中得到了感悟。
24.C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段倒數(shù)第二句“Then she chose to return, centering her territory on our backyard.”和第二段第一句“Alfie's first free-living year—mating, raising her first baby...”可知,Alfie在作者自家的院子里安家了。故選C。
25.A　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Alfie loosed herself, living comfortably with her mate in the yard, which certainly inspired me and my family with hope.”可知,是Alfie放松舒適的生活態(tài)度讓作者及其家人感受到希望。故選A。
26.D　推理判斷題。由題干中的unpolluted by criticism or doubt可定位至第四段中的“She enjoys a freedom unpolluted by criticism...beneath her wings.”,再結(jié)合該句后的“Resisting nothing, she is pure presence, here now.”可知,Alfie過著自己的生活,沒有受外界任何擾亂的影響。故選D。
27.B　主旨大意題。文章提到作者救治了一只小貓頭鷹并安置在自己的后院,第二、三、四段描寫的小貓頭鷹在后院舒適放松地生活的情景讓作者聯(lián)想到自己的生活,認為一切皆有可能,要打破習慣的界限。由此可推知,本文主要介紹了小貓頭鷹引發(fā)作者對生活本質(zhì)的反思。故選B。
熟詞生義
center 熟義:n.中央;中心點　生義:v.把……放在中央
C
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要講了在農(nóng)業(yè)時代,人們的生活節(jié)奏很慢,一家人經(jīng)?；ê荛L時間在一起吃飯,家人之間的關(guān)系更加密切。而現(xiàn)在雖然人們的飲食比祖先的飲食更健康、更有營養(yǎng),但是快餐使得家人一起吃飯的時間縮短了,家人之間的關(guān)系也變得淡了。
28.D　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干中的pre-industrial Europe定位到文章第一段。根據(jù)第一段中的“In agricultural, pre-industrial Europe, you'd want to wake up early, start working with the sunrise, have a break to have the largest meal, and then you'd go back to work”和“Later, at 5 p.m. or 6 p.m., you'd have a smaller supper.”可知,工業(yè)化前的歐洲人按照一天的不同時刻安排相應的日?；顒印Ｔ俳Y(jié)合第二段首句“This comfortable cycle, in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals, gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal, eaten with the extended family.”可知,他們按照一天的自然規(guī)律安排一天的吃飯時間和吃飯習慣。由此可知,工業(yè)化前的歐洲人的日常生活遵循自然周期的節(jié)奏。故選D。
易錯分析
　　本題易根據(jù)第二段首句中“This comfortable cycle”中的comfortable而錯選B項,但第二段中的comfortable修飾的是cycle,指他們?nèi)粘Ｉ畹墓?jié)奏周期舒適,而并沒有說當時他們的生活比現(xiàn)在舒適,B項屬于斷章取義,故排除。
29.C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Meals are the foundation of the family” “so there was a very important interconnection between eating together and strengthening family ties”可知,共同進餐能使家庭成員的關(guān)系更緊密。故選C。
30.A　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞后文“with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a lunch bucket or bought at a food stand”可知,工業(yè)化以來漫長的午餐縮減到任何可以塞進午餐桶或在小吃攤上買到的東西。再結(jié)合前半部分內(nèi)容“自工業(yè)化以來,保持如此緩慢的cultural metabolism變得更加困難”可猜測cultural metabolism指的是“生活節(jié)奏”。故選A。B.生活方式的改變;C.社會進步;D.進化適應。
31.B　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干中的Italians可定位到文章第四段。根據(jù)第四段中的“Yet plenty has been lost too, even in cultures that still live to eat. Take Italy for example. It's no secret that the Mediterranean diet is healthy, but it was also a joy to prepare and eat.(然而,即使在那些仍然是為了吃飯而生存的文化中,也有很多東西丟失了。以意大利為例。眾所周知,地中海飲食是健康的,但準備和食用它也是一種樂趣。)”可知,對意大利人來說烹飪和享用食物都值得享受。故選B。
難句分析
原句　This comfortable cycle, in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals, gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal, eaten with the extended family.
分析　本句是一個主從復合句?！癷n which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals”為in which引導的非限制性定語從句,修飾先行詞This comfortable cycle?！癳aten with...family”是過去分詞短語作定語。
譯文　這種舒適的循環(huán),一天的節(jié)奏有助于塑造用餐的節(jié)奏,產(chǎn)生了與大家庭一起吃豐盛的午餐的習俗。
D
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一項新的研究表明,鳥鳴可以緩解焦慮,改善你的心理健康。
32.B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段中Ryan Hammoud 所說的“We humans have for the first time shown the direct link between hearing birdsong and positive moods.”可知,Ryan Hammoud說他們的研究是人類第一次表明聽鳥鳴和積極的情緒之間有直接的聯(lián)系。由此可以推斷,他認為他們的這項研究具有開拓性。A.受歡迎的;B.開創(chuàng)性的;C.昂貴的;D.耗時的。故選B。
33.C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段中的“By using the Urban Mind app they did an experiment involving 295 healthy people. These participants...completing questionnaires before and after hearing the sounds.”可知,研究人員是通過使用Urban Mind應用程序?qū)?95個健康的人進行了一項實驗,即他們是通過在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上進行實驗的方式開展研究的。故選C。
34.D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“And if just hearing birdsong has such a calming effect when it's listened to via computers, Ryan Hammoud suggests this effect could be even better in the great outdoors.”可知,Ryan Hammoud 認為如果僅僅是通過電腦聽到鳥鳴就有這樣的鎮(zhèn)靜效果,那么這種效果在戶外會更好。由此可以推斷,文章接下來最有可能會介紹為什么在戶外聽到鳥鳴會有更好的鎮(zhèn)靜效果。故選D。A.鳥鳴可能會有什么應用;B.人們可以在哪里聽到鳥鳴并從中受益;C.戶外的聲音如何影響人們的心理健康。
35.A　主旨大意題。文章的結(jié)構(gòu)為:
Paras. 1-2 一項新的研究表明鳥鳴可以改善人的心理健康,讓人保持快樂。
Para. 3 研究的過程
Para. 4 研究的結(jié)果
Para. 5 推斷在戶外效果會更好
從文章的結(jié)構(gòu)及段落主旨來看,本文首段就點明了研究的結(jié)果,即鳥鳴可以改善人的心理健康,讓人保持快樂。文章都是圍繞這一研究展開的,故A項(鳥鳴可以使你保持快樂)符合文章主旨。B.保護鳥類就是保護你自己;C.鳥類可以提高你的認知表現(xiàn);D.鳥鳴對你的身心都有好處。
易錯分析
　　本題易錯選D項。D項強調(diào)鳥鳴對人的身體和心理健康都有好處,而本文強調(diào)的是鳥鳴對人的心理健康的好處,即讓人更快樂,D項范圍太大,故排除。注意第一段中的mental health和relieve anxiety。
第二節(jié)
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了如何成為一個好鄰居。
36.C　細節(jié)句。根據(jù)空前內(nèi)容可知做一個好鄰居與尊重隱私有很大關(guān)系。再根據(jù)空后提到的“給鄰居足夠的空間,并設法感知什么時候該退讓”并結(jié)合選項可知,C項“管好你自己的事往往是最好的”與本段內(nèi)容相關(guān),說的是要尊重隱私,符合語境。故選C。
37.G　主旨句。本題置于句首,推斷是本段的主旨句。根據(jù)空格后的內(nèi)容可知,幫忙做體力活是建立信任的好方法,鄰居有需要的時候,要給予幫助。G項“但是知道在恰當時候提供一些幫助也同樣重要”能夠概括本段主旨。故選G。
38.F　細節(jié)句。根據(jù)空前“最終,你會被要求照顧他們的孩子”和空后“如果你接受的話”并結(jié)合選項可知,F項“你最后可能會和這些孩子一起玩,逗他們開心”符合語境。故選F。
39.B　細節(jié)句。根據(jù)空前內(nèi)容可知,寵物主人需要妥善照顧他們的動物。再根據(jù)空后內(nèi)容“沒有什么比把他們的草坪當廁所的狗,或者被拴在后院時不停地吠叫的狗更讓鄰居們惱火的了。不要胡鬧——做一個善良、負責任的寵物主人”可知,后文提到了寵物亂上廁所的情況,說明寵物主人需要注意寵物的衛(wèi)生打掃問題。故B項“這包括跟在它們身后打掃衛(wèi)生”符合語境。故選B。
40.A　過渡句?？崭袂疤岬搅擞性肼暱梢员唤邮芑虿槐唤邮艿那闆r,后文則給出了具體的例子,結(jié)合選項可知A項“知道它們的差異很好”承接上文提到的兩種情況,說明要知道噪聲可被接受和不被接受之間的差異,同時引出下文介紹的具體區(qū)分情況的示例,承上啟下,符合語境。故選A。
難句分析
原句　There are few things more annoying for neighbors than a dog that uses their lawns as a toilet, or that barks endlessly while chained up in a backyard.
分析　本句是一個主從復合句。a dog后是or連接的兩個并列的that引導的定語從句,修飾先行詞a dog。while...a backyard是狀語從句的省略形式,while后省略了it is。
譯文　對于鄰居們來說,沒有什么比一只把他們的草坪當廁所的狗,或者被拴在后院時不停地吠叫的狗更煩人的了。
第三部分　語言運用
第一節(jié)
語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者他們制訂了在村里建設未來蝴蝶園的計劃,結(jié)果在機緣巧合和善舉下進行得十分順利。
41.B　根據(jù)后文“how we could go about them”可知,計劃主要是展示關(guān)于他們?nèi)绾稳プ龅南敕ādjust調(diào)整; show展示; prove證明; recall回想起。故選B。
42.D　結(jié)合后文可知,他們意外得到了野花種子以及他人的捐贈,故此處有命運自有安排的意思,即宇宙有它自己的計劃。hobby愛好;excuse借口;rule規(guī)則;plan計劃。故選D。
43.B　根據(jù)前文“offered us enough wildflower seeds”和后文“the whole area”可知,此處指種子足以覆蓋整個地區(qū)。protect保護;cover覆蓋;expose暴露;measure測量。故選B。
44.B　根據(jù)后文“the turf would have to be removed to bare earth before we could sow(在我們播種之前,必須把草皮移走以露出土地)”和“So, I asked...”可知,此處是在說他們遇到的問題。meaning意義;problem問題;alternative替代物;promise承諾。故選B。
45.C　根據(jù)上文“the turf would have to be removed”可知他們需要把草皮移走,所以想找一臺機器來掀起草皮。decorate裝飾;deliver遞送;lift舉起;wash洗滌。結(jié)合第五段中的提示“we hired the turf-lifting machine”可知選C。
46.D　根據(jù)下文可知,作者在跟住在附近的人說話時遇到一位女士,她捐贈了40英鎊,所以是意外的善舉。unnecessary不必要的;unchangeable不可改變的;unfamiliar不熟悉的;unexpected意外的。故選D。
47.A　根據(jù)上文“As I was speaking to a man living nearby, a lady”和下文“me and handed me a...￡40”可知,此處指這位女士靠近作者,遞給作者錢。approach靠近;prevent阻止;challenge向……發(fā)出挑戰(zhàn);forgive原諒。故選A。
48.C　根據(jù)下文“Seeing that, the man also gave me some money!”可知,此處指女士捐贈了40英鎊給作者。tip訣竅,建議;salary工資;donation捐贈物;reward回報,獎勵。故選C。
49.A　上文提到他們?nèi)卞X租機器,結(jié)果一位女士就捐贈了40英鎊,所以是及時的幫助。timely及時的;mannerly客氣的;costly昂貴的;orderly有序的。故選A。
50.B　上文提到他們?nèi)卞X租機器,一位女士和一位男士捐了錢,下文說“we hired the turf-lifting machine on Thursday”,由此可知此處的邏輯順序是:籌到錢→租機器。因此租機器是在問題解決之后,After引導時間狀語從句。 故選B。
51.A　根據(jù)下文“for Sunday volunteers”可知此處指需要志愿者。call請求,呼吁,號召;signal信號;sound聲音;wave揮手。a call for...為固定搭配,意為“……的請求/呼吁/號召”。結(jié)合語境可知此處是說他們發(fā)出招募周日志愿者的呼吁。故選A。
52.C　根據(jù)上文“sent out a call for Sunday volunteers”和下文“The seeds were then sown.”可知,他們發(fā)出的號召最終招來了10個志愿者,因此種子得以播種。check out結(jié)賬離開;break in強行進入;turn up出現(xiàn);set off出發(fā)。此處是說有10個志愿者出現(xiàn)了。故選C。
53.D　根據(jù)上文“My friend came with a carload of daisies and buddleia.”可知,朋友帶來了一車的雛菊和醉魚草,作者感到很開心。tendency趨勢;test測試,考驗;privilege特權(quán);joy令人高興的事。故選D。
54.B　根據(jù)“We planted the daisies all along the back of the garden.

55.A　結(jié)合上文可知,作者原本沒有計劃種植雛菊,但是朋友帶來了,所以就種下了,作者認為一切都是宇宙的安排,自己沒什么可爭辯的。argue爭辯;warn警告;quit停止;apologize道歉。故選A。
第二節(jié)
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。本文主要介紹了大運河的發(fā)展歷史和意義以及人們?yōu)楸Ｗo大運河做出的努力。
56.but　考查連詞。句意:現(xiàn)今,這條水道比以前更短了,但是它仍然是世界上最長的人工河。分析句意可知,空前后之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,空處表示“但是”,應用連詞but連接前后兩個分句。故填but。
57.Importantly　考查副詞。句意:重要的是,大運河繼續(xù)為現(xiàn)代中國提供重要的文化和經(jīng)濟聯(lián)系?？崭裉幵诰渲凶鳡钫Z,修飾整個句子,應用副詞形式。故填Importantly。
58.cultural　考查形容詞。句意同上。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,句中使用了固定搭配provide...for...,“a vital 58.　　　　　 and economic link”為provide的賓語,其中l(wèi)ink前都是它的修飾語;設空處與economic(經(jīng)濟上的)并列作定語修飾名詞link,應用形容詞。由語境可知此處表示“文化的”,故填cultural。
59.when　考查定語從句。句意:最初的運河系統(tǒng)大約始于公元605年,當時中國的隋煬帝意識到他需要一種更好的方式來運輸食物并養(yǎng)活他的軍隊,所以該皇帝下令修建大運河的第一段,連接那些現(xiàn)有的運河、湖泊和河流。設空處引導定語從句,先行詞為the year 605,關(guān)系詞在定語從句中作時間狀語,應用關(guān)系副詞when引導。故填when。
60.connecting　考查現(xiàn)在分詞。句意同上。本句的句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析如下:
of the Grand Canal,
lakes and rivers).
根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析可知,so后的分句中已有謂語動詞ordered,設空處應用非謂語動詞。connect與其邏輯主語the first section of the Grand Canal之間是主動關(guān)系,應用現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語。故填connecting。
61.have been transported　考查動詞時態(tài)、語態(tài)和主謂一致。句意:一千多年來,貨物被沿著大運河運輸?？崭裉幵诰渲凶髦^語,根據(jù)時間狀語For more than a thousand years可知應用現(xiàn)在完成時;主語goods和transport之間是被動關(guān)系,應用現(xiàn)在完成時的被動語態(tài)。主語是復數(shù)名詞,故填have been transported。
62.tourism　考查名詞。句意:然而,地方政府渴望促進旅游業(yè)和城市的發(fā)展,已經(jīng)拆毀了幾乎所有運河邊較老的建筑。根據(jù)and連接并列結(jié)構(gòu)可知,空格處與city development并列作賓語,應用名詞;根據(jù)語境可知此處表示“旅游業(yè)”,應用名詞tourism;tourism為不可數(shù)名詞,故填tourism。
63.a　考查冠詞。句意:在2005年,一群公民提議將有歷史意義的大運河列為聯(lián)合國教科文組織世界遺產(chǎn)保護區(qū),希望這一地位會保護這條水道和它周圍的建筑。空后的“World Heritage Site”為可數(shù)名詞,此處表示泛指,指把大運河列為一處世界遺產(chǎn)保護區(qū),應用不定冠詞;UNESCO以輔音音素開頭,故填a。
易錯分析
　　此題易根據(jù)UNESCO中的“U”而錯填an。有些單詞是以元音字母開頭但并不是以元音音素開頭,即開頭的元音字母不發(fā)元音,這樣的單詞有university、useful、European、unique等。這樣的單詞前邊的不定冠詞應用a而不用an。
64.granted　考查過去分詞。句意:隨著(大運河作為)聯(lián)合國教科文組織(世界遺產(chǎn)保護區(qū)的)身份在2014年被官方認定,世界上最偉大的工程成就將在未來的幾個世紀里繼續(xù)連接中國的北方和南方。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,句中已有謂語動詞continue,設空處應用非謂語動詞;“With UNESCO status officially 64.　　　　　 in 2014”為with的復合結(jié)構(gòu),UNESCO status為賓語,設空處作賓補。UNESCO status與grant之間是邏輯上的被動關(guān)系,應用過去分詞形式。故填granted。
聯(lián)想拓展
　　with的復合結(jié)構(gòu)“with+名詞(或代詞)+非謂語動詞”的構(gòu)成形式:
(1)with+名詞(或代詞)+現(xiàn)在分詞(現(xiàn)在分詞和前面的名詞或代詞是邏輯上的主動關(guān)系)
如:With the crowds cheering, they drove to the palace.在人群的歡呼聲中, 他們驅(qū)車前往王宮。
(2)with+名詞(或代詞)+過去分詞(過去分詞和前面的名詞或代詞是邏輯上的被動關(guān)系)
如:I sat in the room for a few minutes with my eyes fixed on the ceiling.我在房間里坐了一會兒, 眼睛盯著天花板。
(3)with+名詞(或代詞)+動詞不定式(不定式表示將發(fā)生的動作)
如:With no one to talk to, John felt miserable.由于沒有可以說話的人, 約翰感到很痛苦。
65.centuries　考查名詞的數(shù)。句意同上。根據(jù)空格前的介詞for可知,空格處應用名詞作for的賓語;century在此處表示“世紀”,為可數(shù)名詞,空前沒有冠詞,應用復數(shù)形式。故填centuries。

One possible version:
The next morning, I called back.“Okay,” I said. “Put me down for coaching soccer.” At the other end of the line, the man burst into laughter. He told me they would have a coaching clinic on Saturday which might help. But I could hardly wait that long. The moment I put down the phone, I rushed to my computer and started researching. Everything about soccer. Everything about how to get along with first graders. The more I learnt, the more confident I felt.
Then came the day when I would meet those kids for the first time. I took a deep breath and stepped onto the ground, where 22 kids were waiting, eyes sparkling with excitement and eagerness. That season, we played and won great popularity. The time spent with them proved rewarding. It's not such a challenging job to teach them to play soccer because what mattered more was not to win but to make it fun to learn. More importantly, I learned a life lesson: To be outstanding—get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
