B At the beginning of the school year, each student would be given a special job for which they would be responsible (负责的) for the whole term. Rita, a quiet and hardworking girl, hoped for an exciting task, like taking care of the class plants. Instead, she received a small box with sand and a small ant. Even though the teacher insisted (坚称) that this task was very special, Rita could not help feeling disappointed. However, she decided to do her best with her new responsibility. She began to study and care for the ant, learning about its habitat (栖息地) and needs. She made the box a comfortable home for the ant, and it grew much bigger than anyone expected. Rita’s hard work caught the attention of her science teacher, Mr Thompson. He turned her work into a class project, and Rita became the class expert on ants. Her hard work helped the whole class learn about ant behavior and habitats. They even built a small ant farm in the classroom to watch the ant closely. As the school year went by, Rita’s classmates became more and more interested in the ant project. They started asking her questions and watching the ant’s behavior themselves. Rita felt proud to share her knowledge and see her classmates so interested. She even made a report and shared her findings with the whole school during the science festival. At the end of the year, the school recognized Rita’s class as the best of the year. They praised Rita for her hard work and how she turned a small responsibility into something big. Rita learned that every task, no matter how small, could make a big difference. She also learned that sometimes the most unexpected things can lead to great success. 31. What was Rita’s special job?

Grain Buds or Xiaoman, the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 20 this year, and ends on June 4. Grain Buds holds both natural and cultural importance. It means that the seeds of summer crops like wheat are becoming full but are not ripe (成熟的). The name xiaoman has also special meanings in Chinese culture and shows how Chinese people think about life. The word mixes xiao, meaning little, and man, meaning “full”. Together, it means “things are not yet completely (完全) full”. This name shows that it is best not to do too much or too little. Let’s see what we can do during the “Grain Buds” period. A good season for eating During the Grain Buds period, summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time goes, “A heavy rainfall makes the river full.” Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water, which makes fish and shrimps big and fat. This is a good time to enjoy them. Grain Buds is also a season for eating mulberries (桑葚) and bitter herbs (苦菜) which can cool the blood and remove harmful things from the body. A key period for flower caring This time is a good period of the quick growth of flowers. It is also a season when plant diseases and pests are the most, which makes growing flowers even harder. Caring for your garden becomes even more important than any other time. If you take good care of them, your plants will be healthier. _____________ High temperatures and wet days are common during the Grain Buds period. The increase in temperature over this season may make you get skin illnesses easily. It is also important to exercise during the hot summer days. Walking, jogging and practicing tai chi are popular. 36. How long does Grain Buds last this year? A. 14 days. B. 15 days. C. 16 days. D. 17 days. 37. Which of the following best matches the meaning of Xiaoman? A The couple live happily though they don’t have much money. B. A poor man hates working and lies down all day long. C. A rich man often wants to make much more money. D. A student isn’t happy with his grade and always tries to get higher grades. 38. Grain Buds is NOT a good season to eat ________. A. fish B. strawberries C. mulberries D. bitter herbs 39. What can we infer from the passage? A. Xiaoman always falls on May 20 every year. B. It is easy to look after flowers during Xiaoman. C. It is not necessary to exercise during Xiaoman. D. Grain Buds is a good season for fishermen. 40. Which of the following can be filled in the blank? A. Weather during Grain Buds B. Ways to avoid skin diseases C. Advice on health D. Exercise for health D Have you ever felt like you’re in your own small world? Do you think everything you hear or see just makes you more sure of your ideas in this world? It’s like being in an “echo chamber (信息茧房)”— a place where your own ideas keep coming back to you and you don’t hear any different ones. You think you have been trapped in it. This isn’t something new, but with everyone on social media, it’s happening a lot more now. Echo chambers are like rooms we can’t see on the Internet, but everyone agrees with you in it. Think about how people used to sit around a fire, telling stories that made everyone else all nod and smile. Now, we have the Internet—our modern day fire—where platforms (平台) let people from all over the world share their thoughts. Social media platforms know exactly what we like. That’s thanks to very clever algorithms (算法) —sets of rules that computers follow to work out what you enjoy according to what you click on, like, and share online. These algorithms watch what we do on the Internet to show us more information that matches our interests and even what our friends like. But being in echo chambers can be a bit dangerous. They make us feel good because we’re surrounded (围绕) by views we agree with, but they also make us see the world in a very limited way. This can make our opinions very fixed and make it hard for us to understand people who think differently. It might even make us feel more separated and worried because everyone outside our “bubble ” seems so different. Luckily, there are ways to break free from echo chambers. One big step is to challenge ourselves by looking for information from different sources. This means searching for more different things on the Internet, reading different kinds of stories, and talking to people with other ideas. Also, ask questions about where information comes from, double-check facts and be open-minded. In this way, we can make sure we understand the wider world a lot better. 41. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By listing numbers. B. By asking questions. C. By giving examples. D. By showing facts. 42. What may happen in an echo chamber according to the passage? A. Others have the same ideas as yours. B. People sit around the fire to tell stories. C. We talk to people with other views happily. D. People are open-minded and understand the world better. 43. Which of the following is TRUE about algorithms? A. They help people learn how to share information online. B. They teach people to follow rules about computers. C. They study people’s hobbies and interests on the Internet. D. They work out what we enjoy just according to our friends’ information. 44. What does the underlined word “bubble” in Para.4 mean? A. A room B. An algorithm C. A balloon D. An echo chamber 45. What’s the best title of this passage? A. Useful echo chambers B. Trapped in echo chambers C. Ways to break echo chambers D. Thanks to echo chambers 第二部分 非选择题 (共55分) 四、词汇运用(共10小题；每小题1分，计10分) 用括号内所给词的适当形式填空，每空不限一词。 46. Tom and Linda __________ (marry) for ten years, but they never argue with each other. 47.

Puppets are usually dressed in traditional costumes. They can do many movements, such as dancing with long sleeves and practising writing. Such puppets are from the hands of puppet makers like Wang Maowei, who is from Xiaoyi, Shanxi province. Wang Maowei, a 40-year-old artist, is good at making stick puppets. “I fell in love with puppet-making as a teenager and decided to make it a lifelong career,” he says. Recently, Wang has noticed that today’s people don’t want to sit for more than two hours watching a puppet play as people did before. He realizes that it is important to keep up with the times and be creative to make the puppets better. With his hard work, the puppets gain new life. Traditionally, stick puppets are made of wood and they are heavy to hold. Wang uses newspapers and a kind of cardboard to make the puppets lighter. Therefore, the puppets can be controlled more easily. The noses, eyes and mouths of the puppets can move more quickly now. In the past, homemade pigments (颜料) such as charcoal are used to decorate the puppets. Nowadays, puppet makers can use lots of paints to ensure the colourful “make-up” of the puppets. After these improvements, the well-designed puppets can not only do movements, but also perform bianlian or face-changing, a traditional Chinese opera trick. It is the balance of traditional puppet-making and modern art. “It costs time and energy to make a good puppet. However, all efforts pay off when I see how much the people love the new puppet play.” he says.

Rita, a quiet and hardworking girl, hoped for an exciting task, like taking care of the class plants. Instead, she received a small box with sand and a small ant. Even though the teacher insisted (坚称) that this task was very special, Rita could not help feeling disappointed. However, she decided to do her best with her new responsibility. She began to study and care for the ant, learning about its habitat (栖息地) and needs. She made the box a comfortable home for the ant, and it grew much bigger than anyone expected. Rita’s hard work caught the attention of her science teacher, Mr Thompson. He turned her work into a class project, and Rita became the class expert on ants. Her hard work helped the whole class learn about ant behavior and habitats. They even built a small ant farm in the classroom to watch the ant closely. As the school year went by, Rita’s classmates became more and more interested in the ant project. They started asking her questions and watching the ant’s behavior themselves. Rita felt proud to share her knowledge and see her classmates so interested. She even made a report and shared her findings with the whole school during the science festival. At the end of the year, the school recognized Rita’s class as the best of the year. They praised Rita for her hard work and how she turned a small responsibility into something big. Rita learned that every task, no matter how small, could make a big difference. She also learned that sometimes the most unexpected things can lead to great success. 31. What was Rita’s special job?

They were created thousands of years ago to guide people’s lives. Grain Buds or Xiaoman, the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 20 this year, and ends on June 4. Grain Buds holds both natural and cultural importance. It means that the seeds of summer crops like wheat are becoming full but are not ripe (成熟的). The name xiaoman has also special meanings in Chinese culture and shows how Chinese people think about life. The word mixes xiao, meaning little, and man, meaning “full”. Together, it means “things are not yet completely (完全) full”. This name shows that it is best not to do too much or too little. Let’s see what we can do during the “Grain Buds” period. A good season for eating During the Grain Buds period, summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time goes, “A heavy rainfall makes the river full.” Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water, which makes fish and shrimps big and fat. This is a good time to enjoy them. Grain Buds is also a season for eating mulberries (桑葚) and bitter herbs (苦菜) which can cool the blood and remove harmful things from the body. A key period for flower caring This time is a good period of the quick growth of flowers. It is also a season when plant diseases and pests are the most, which makes growing flowers even harder. Caring for your garden becomes even more important than any other time. If you take good care of them, your plants will be healthier. _____________ High temperatures and wet days are common during the Grain Buds period. The increase in temperature over this season may make you get skin illnesses easily. It is also important to exercise during the hot summer days. Walking, jogging and practicing tai chi are popular. 36. How long does Grain Buds last this year? A. 14 days. B. 15 days. C. 16 days. D. 17 days. 37. Which of the following best matches the meaning of Xiaoman? A. The couple live happily though they don’t have much money. B. A poor man hates working and lies down all day long. C. A rich man often wants to make much more money. D. A student isn’t happy with his grade and always tries to get higher grades. 38. Grain Buds is NOT a good season to eat ________. A. fish B. strawberries C. mulberries D. bitter herbs 39. What can we infer from the passage? A. Xiaoman always falls on May 20 every year. B. It is easy to look after flowers during Xiaoman. C. It is not necessary to exercise during Xiaoman. D. Grain Buds is a good season for fishermen. 40. Which of the following can be filled in the blank? A. Weather during Grain Buds B. Ways to avoid skin diseases C. Advice on health D. Exercise for health 【答案】36. C 37. A 38. B 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了与中国传统24节气之一的小满有关的知识，包括小满的含义、时间以及这个节气适宜做的事情等。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Grain Buds or Xiaoman, the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 20 this year, and ends on June 4.”可知，今年小满是从5月20日开始，6月4日结束，共计16天。故选C。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“This name shows that it is best not to do too much or too little.”可知，小满的意思是说最好不要做得太多或太少。因此A选项“这对夫妇虽然没有多少钱，但生活得很幸福。”符合。故选A。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water, which makes fish and shrimps big and fat. This is a good time to enjoy them.”及“Grain Buds is also a season for eating mulberries (桑葚) and bitter herbs (苦菜)”可知，小满是吃鱼、虾、桑葚及苦菜的季节，不是吃草莓的季节。故选B。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water, which makes fish and shrimps big and fat. This is a good time to enjoy them.”可知，小满降雨量大增，河里装满了水，这使得鱼虾又大又肥，因此可推知，小满对渔民来说是一个好的季节。故选D。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“The increase in temperature over this season may make you get skin illnesses easily. It is also important to exercise during the hot summer days. Walking, jogging and practicing tai chi are popular.”可知，本段主要是给出在小满时期关于健康方面的建议。故选C。 D Have you ever felt like you’re in your own small world? Do you think everything you hear or see just makes you more sure of your ideas in this world? It’s like being in an “echo chamber (信息茧房)”— a place where your own ideas keep coming back to you, and you don’t hear any different ones. You think you have been trapped in it. This isn’t something new, but with everyone on social media, it’s happening a lot more now. Echo chambers are like rooms we can’t see on the Internet, but everyone agrees with you in it. Think about how people used to sit around a fire, telling stories that made everyone else all nod and smile. Now, we have the Internet—our modern day fire—where platforms (平台) let people from all over the world share their thoughts. Social media platforms know exactly what we like. That’s thanks to very clever algorithms (算法) —sets of rules that computers follow to work out what you enjoy according to what you click on, like, and share online. These algorithms watch what we do on the Internet to show us more information that matches our interests and even what our friends like. But being in echo chambers can be a bit dangerous. They make us feel good because we’re surrounded (围绕) by views we agree with, but they also make us see the world in a very limited way. This can make our opinions very fixed and make it hard for us to understand people who think differently. It might even make us feel more separated and worried because everyone outside our “bubble ” seems so different. Luckily, there are ways to break free from echo chambers. One big step is to challenge ourselves by looking for information from different sources. This means searching for more different things on the Internet, reading different kinds of stories, and talking to people with other ideas. Also, ask questions about where information comes from, double-check facts and be open-minded. In this way, we can make sure we understand the wider world a lot better. 41. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By listing numbers. B. By asking questions. C. By giving examples. D. By showing facts. 42. What may happen in an echo chamber according to the passage? A. Others have the same ideas as yours. B. People sit around the fire to tell stories. C. We talk to people with other views happily. D. People are open-minded and understand the world better. 43. Which of the following is TRUE about algorithms? A. They help people learn how to share information online. B. They teach people to follow rules about computers. C. They study people’s hobbies and interests on the Internet. D. They work out what we enjoy just according to our friends’ information. 44. What does the underlined word “bubble” in Para.4 mean? A. A room B. An algorithm C. A balloon D. An echo chamber 45. What’s the best title of this passage? A. Useful echo chambers B. Trapped in echo chambers C. Ways to break echo chambers D. Thanks to echo chambers 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. D 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了信息茧房的概念、出现的原因以及信息茧房对我们的好处与坏处等。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Have you ever felt like you’re in your own small world? Do you think everything you hear or see just makes you more sure of your ideas in this world? ”可知，作者是通过提问的方式开始写这篇文章的。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It’s like being in an‘echo chamber ’—a place where your own ideas keep coming back to you, and you don’t hear any different ones. ”可知，在信息茧房里，你自己的想法不断回到你身边，你听不到任何不同的想法，即你周围的其他人和你的想法一样。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Social media platforms know exactly what we like. That’s thanks to very clever algorithms—sets of rules that computers follow to work out what you enjoy according to what you click on, like, and share online. ”可知，algorithms是计算机遵循的几套规则，它们根据你在网上点击、喜欢和分享的内容，推测出你喜欢什么，即他们通过网络研究人们的爱好与兴趣。故选C。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“But being in echo chambers can be a bit dangerous. They make us feel good...but they also make us see the world in a very limited way. This can make our opinions very fixed and make it hard for us to understand people who think differently. It might even make us feel more separated and worried because everyone outside our ‘bubble’ seems so different.”可知，待在信息茧房里可能有点危险。它们一方面让我们感觉良好，但另一方面也让我们以一种非常有限的方式看待世界，即我们的观点可能非常固定，因此很难理解与我们的想法不同的人，让我们觉得我们的“bubble”之外的人似乎都是如此不同。故推测bubble就是指“信息茧房”。故选D。 【45题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了信息茧房的各个方面，包括其概念、出现的原因、它带给我们的好处与坏处以及打破信息茧房的方法等。B选项最能概括文章主旨，符合最佳标题，故选B。 第二部分 非选择题 (共55分) 四、词汇运用(共10小题；每小题1分，计10分) 用括号内所给词的适当形式填空，每空不限一词。 46. Tom and Linda __________ (marry) for ten years, but they never argue with each other. 【答案】have been married 【解析】 【详解】句意：汤姆和琳达已经结婚十年了，但他们从不争吵。根据“for ten years”可知，“for+一段时间”常与现在完成时连用，其结构是：have/has+动词过去分词；分析题干和提示词可知，此处表示“已婚”的状态，应用短语be married，be的过去分词是been，主语“Tom and Linda”表示复数，所以助动词应用have。故填have been married。 47. Tom is crazy about football. However, his parents don’t allow him __________ (stay) out late to play football for his safety. 【答案】to stay 【解析】 【详解】句意：汤姆酷爱足球。然而，为了他的安全，他的父母不允许他在外面踢足球踢到很晚。根据短语allow sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”和提示词可知，空格处应填动词不定式to stay。故填to stay。 48. To improve our English, we’re often advised __________ (read) English aloud in the morning every day. 【答案】to read 【解析】 【详解】句意：为了提高我们的英语，我们经常被建议每天早上大声朗读英语。根据短语be advised to do sth.“被建议做某事”和提示词可知，空格处应填动词不定式to read。故填to read。 49. The plan for holding a class meeting this Friday is still under __________ (discuss). 【答案】discussion 【解析】 【详解】句意：本周五举行班会的计划仍在讨论中。根据“The plan for holding a class meeting this Friday is still under...”可知，空处需名词，discuss“讨论”为动词，其名词为discussion，under discussion为固定搭配，表示“在讨论中”。故填discussion。 50. Our environment is changing for the worse, so all of us need to work __________ (close) to protect the only home—the earth. 【答案】closely 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们的环境正在恶化，因此我们所有人都需要密切合作，保护唯一的家园——地球。此处修饰动词work，应用副词形式closely“密切地”。故填closely。 51. The drinking water __________ (run) out soon if people keep wasting it carelessly. 【答案】will run 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果人们继续随意浪费，饮用水很快就会耗尽。分析句子结构可知，句子为含if引导的条件状语从句的主从复合句，遵循“主将从现”原则；从句时态为一般现在时，则主句时态为一般将来时，其结构为will do。故填will run。 52. Our teacher should avoid __________ (use) computers too much in class to protect students’ eyes. 【答案】using 【解析】 【详解】句意：为了保护学生的眼睛，我们的老师应该避免在课堂上过多使用电脑。avoid doing sth.“避免做某事”，空格处应填use“使用”的动词-ing形式using。故填using。 53. I __________ (communication) with Jack my pen friend by email the other day. 【答案】communicated 【解析】 【详解】句意：前几天我和我的笔友杰克通过电子邮件交流。根据“the other day”可知，时态为一般过去时，谓语动词要用过去式，communication“交流”，名词，动词形式为communicate，communicate with sb“和某人交流”，过去式为communicated。故填communicated。 54. Serious pollution is __________ (harm) to animals as well as people. 【答案】harmful 【解析】 【详解】句意：严重的污染对人和动物都有害。结合所给单词和题干可知，本题考查短语be harmful to“对……有害”，所以空格处应填形容词harmful“有害的”。故填harmful。 55. We shouldn’t shout at the elderly __________ (polite). They need to be taken good care of. 【答案】impolitely 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们不应该对老人不礼貌地大喊大叫。他们需要得到很好的照顾。根据“We shouldn’t shout at the elderly”可知，此处是指不应该对老人不礼貌地大喊，impolite“不礼貌的”，空处修饰动词短语shout at，用副词形式。故填impolitely。 五、任务型阅读 阅读下面一段短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填一个单词。 The puppet (木偶) play has a history of thousands of years and it is liked by many Chinese people. Puppets are usually dressed in traditional costumes. They can do many movements, such as dancing with long sleeves and practising writing. Such puppets are from the hands of puppet makers like Wang Maowei, who is from Xiaoyi, Shanxi province. Wang Maowei, a 40-year-old artist, is good at making stick puppets. “I fell in love with puppet-making as a teenager and decided to make it a lifelong career,” he says. Recently, Wang has noticed that today’s people don’t want to sit for more than two hours watching a puppet play as people did before. He realizes that it is important to keep up with the times and be creative to make the puppets better. With his hard work, the puppets gain new life. Traditionally, stick puppets are made of wood and they are heavy to hold. Wang uses newspapers and a kind of cardboard to make the puppets lighter. Therefore, the puppets can be controlled more easily. The noses, eyes and mouths of the puppets can move more quickly now. In the past, homemade pigments (颜料) such as charcoal are used to decorate the puppets. Nowadays, puppet makers can use lots of paints to ensure the colourful “make-up” of the puppets. After these improvements, the well-designed puppets can not only do movements, but also perform bianlian or face-changing, a traditional Chinese opera trick. It is the balance of traditional puppet-making and modern art. “It costs time and energy to make a good puppet. However, all efforts pay off when I see how much the people love the new puppet play.” he says.

He realizes that it is important to keep up with the times and be creative to make the puppets better.”可知，最近，王茂伟注意到，现在的人不愿意像以前的人那样坐着看两个多小时的木偶戏。他意识到，跟上时代的步伐，发挥创造力，让木偶变得更好，这很重要。由此可知，表格中“He improves the puppets after noticing people watch a puppet play for...than two hours.”意为“在注意到人们观看木偶戏不到两个小时后，他改进了木偶”，此处应用短语less than“不到，少于”。故填less。 【61题详解】 根据第二段“He realizes that it is important to keep up with the times and be creative to make the puppets better.”可知，他意识到，跟上时代的步伐，发挥创造力，让木偶变得更好，这很重要。结合表格“He thinks...up with the times is important.”可知，此处应用动名词短语keeping up with the times作从句的主语，所以空格处应填动名词keeping。故填keeping。 【62题详解】 根据第三段“Traditionally, stick puppets are made of wood and they are heavy to hold. Wang uses newspapers and a kind of cardboard to make the puppets lighter.”可知，王茂伟用报纸和一种纸板代替木头来制作木偶。故填wood。 【63题详解】 根据第三段“Therefore, the puppets can be controlled more easily.”可知，经过改良后，可以更容易地控制木偶，结合表格“·Puppets are much lighter and...to control.”可知，and用于连接并列成分，and前的lighter是形容词比较级，所以空格处应填easily的形容词形式easy的比较级easier。故填easier。 【64题详解】 根据第三段“In the past, homemade pigments (颜料) such as charcoal are used to decorate the puppets. Nowadays, puppet makers can use lots of paints to ensure the colourful ‘make-up’ of the puppets.”可知，在过去，木偶制作者用自制的颜料来装饰木偶，而现在，他们可以用大量的色彩鲜艳的颜料来装饰木偶。结合表格“·More paints are used for...the puppets.”可知，空格处应用动词decorate“装饰”，空前的介词for后接动词-ing形式，所以空格处应填decorate的动词-ing形式decorating。故填decorating。 【65题详解】 根据第四段“It is the balance of traditional puppet-making and modern art.”可知，现在的木偶戏混合了传统和现代艺术，形容词modern意为“现代的”。故填modern。 Are we thankful to our daily life?

So 72. healthy 73. illness##illnesses 74. it 75. to make 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了我们应该学会感激我们的日常生活。 【66题详解】 句意：事实上，我们很多人都抱怨我们的日常生活。根据空后的fact可知，本题考查介词短语in fact“事实上”，空格处应填介词in，句首首字母要大写。故填In。 【67题详解】 句意：这对我们来说是不正确。根据上文“many of us complain about our daily life a lot”和下文“We should learn to be thankful to our daily life.”可知，此处表示抱怨我们的日常生活是不正确的，空格处应填形容词incorrect“不正确的”作表语。故填incorrect。 【68题详解】 句意：如果我们读战时故事，我们就会意识到形势是多么可怕。分析“If we read wartime stories, we...how terrible the situation is.”可知，本句包含if引导的条件状语从句，遵循主将从现，所以主句应用一般将来时，结构是：will+动词原形，结合提示词，空格处应填will realize。故填will realize。 【69题详解】 句意：人们很容易失去生命。此处泛指生命，应用名词life“生命”的复数形式lives。故填lives。 【70题详解】 句意：许多人失去了他们爱的人。根据上文“we have our loved ones”可知，此处表示许多人失去了他们爱的人。空后没有名词，结合提示词可知，空格处应填名词性物主代词theirs“他们的”，用于表示their loved ones。故填theirs。 【71题详解】 句意：所以，如果我们有自己的爸爸或妈妈，请心怀感激。分析“Many people don’t even know their father or mother...be grateful if we have ours.”可知，前后句是因果关系，后句是前句的结果，连词so“所以”符合语境，句首首字母要大写。故填So。 【72题详解】 句意：第三，我们很健康。结合提示词和空前的are可知，空格处应填形容词healthy“健康的”作表语。故填healthy。 【73题详解】 句意：然而，有时直到我们经历了疾病，我们才明白健康的重要性。分析“we experience the...”和提示词可知，空格处应用名词illness“疾病”作宾语，当illness表示患病、身体不适时，是不可数名词，此时空格处应填illness的原形；当illness表示某种疾病时，是可数名词，此时空格处应填illness的复数形式illnesses。故填illness/illnesses。 【74题详解】 句意：对于我们来说，在日常生活中心怀感激很容易吗？分析“Is...easy for us to be thankful in our daily life?”可知，此句中动词不定式to be thankful in our daily life是真正的主语，所以空格处应填it作形式主语。故填it。 【75题详解】 句意：所以现在我们要尽力让我们的日常生活变得精彩。根据短语try one’s best to do sth.“尽某人最大的努力做某事”和提示词可知，空格处应填动词不定式to make。故填to make。 七、书面表达(25分) 76. 热心公益，争当志愿者，积极为文明实践、阳光助残、环境保护、为老弱服务等志愿项目作力所能及的贡献是新时代初中生责任意识的表现。请你按以下要点，用英语写一篇关于今年暑假准备作为志愿者参加的一次服务活动。 1.
