III. Reading Comprehension (37%)
Section A(15%)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Deliverance(解救) for Delivery Drivers?
ZOOOOOOOOM!!! A gust of air, the hum of spinning wheels, and a flash of color whizzing past. I’m sure that we have all stepped into the crosswalk, at one time or another, and experienced this sudden, heart-stopping ___21___. I am, of course, referring to delivery drivers ___22___ through crossroads to deliver takeaway food.
Over the past few years, delivery drivers have been criticized, fined, and even ___23___ for breaking traffic laws across China. Delivery drivers often ___24___ red lights, disregard speed limits, and pay little attention to pedestrian crossings. But they also often pay the ___25___ price — each year, it seems like fatal injuries involving delivery drivers are increasing. ___26___, since delivery drivers are usually poorly paid, how much blame do they really deserve for running against the clock?
Well, it ___27___ to be a complicated issue. Recently an article titled “Delivery Drivers, Stuck in the System” was shared widely on social media. According to the article, ___28___ between delivery services Ele.me and Meituan has caused each app to take increasingly extreme measures to out-do(超过) the other. This has included the shortening of delivery time windows. It has been ___29___, in part, through a combination of rewards for early delivery and severe punishments for late delivery. Over time, the platforms have only increased these ___30___ on drivers. As a result, drivers find themselves in a dilemma(左右两难的困境):break traffic laws or, in some cases, lose hundreds of yuan in earnings for late deliveries.
According to surveys and reactions online, ___31___ care much whether their deliveries are a few minutes late, while most believe that it is not worth risking someone’s life for. In response, Ele.me and Meituan have added a combination of features to ___32___ delivery times for slow elevators or bad weather conditions.
Although these new ___33___ cannot solve the underlying problems of intense competition or the inherent dangers of driving, they should, in some measure, start reducing some of the pressure on drivers. In the meantime, as ___34___, we can help to make life for delivery riders safer and easier. ___35___, be a considerate person and don’t leave them waiting for too long. If you see a food delivery guy rushing toward you on an escalator or into a door, consider standing back and letting him go first. After all, they are putting their lives on the line just to deliver our food.

Section B(14%)
Directions: Read the following two passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
When I was a puppy, I entertained you and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I was “bad”, you’d shake your finger at me and ask “How could you?”—but then you rolled me over for a belly (腹部) rub.
I remember those nights of rubbing you in bed and listening to your secret dreams, and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.
Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. She, now your wife, is not a “dog person”—still I welcomed her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy.
Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was fascinated by the pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time in another room.
There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you just answered “yes” and changed the subject. I had gone from being “your dog” to “just a dog”.
Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and they will be moving to another apartment that does not allow pets. You’ve made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.
People in the animal shelter are attentive to me, but I lost my appetite. At first whenever anyone passed, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you—that this was all a bad dream or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared, anyone who might save me.
36. How did the dog’s owner treat the puppy when it was at a younger age?
A. He entertained the puppy with jokes and gestures.
B. He treated the puppy as if it were a family member.
C. He disciplined the puppy when it made a mess.
D. He kept the puppy at a distance for the chewed shoes.
37. Why was the puppy excluded from the room after the babies were born?
A. The puppy was tempted by the babies’ pinkness and sweet smell.
B. The puppy poses a serious danger to the health and well-being of babies.
C. The couple were concerned that the babies would be in danger.
D. The master envied the natural affection between the babies and the puppy.
38. What can we infer from the last 3 paragraphs?
A. It was hard for the puppy to accept the fact that it was ignored.
B. The master had a mixed feeling for the advancement in career.
C. The puppy felt relieved for the master’s establishment of a new family.
D. It was urgent for the master to give up the puppy and move to another city.
39. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. A Good Heart to Lean on B. New Member of the Family
C. The Words of an Abandoned Dog D. Animal Shelter: the Last Home for Puppies
B
Many factors can interfere with a good night’s sleep — from work stress and family responsibilities to illnesses. You might not be able to control the factors that interfere with your sleep. However, you can adopt habits that encourage better sleep. Start with these simple tips.
1. Stick to a sleep schedule
Set aside no more than eight hours for sleep. The recommended amount of sleep for a healthy adult is at least seven hours. Most people don’t need more than eight hours in bed to be well rested. Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, including weekends. Being consistent reinforces your body’s sleep-wake cycle. If you don’t fall asleep within about 20 minutes of going to bed, leave your bedroom and do something relaxing. Read or listen to soothing music. Go back to bed when you’re tired. Repeat as needed, but continue to maintain your sleep schedule and wake-up time.
2. Pay attention to what you eat and drink
Don’t go to bed hungry or stuffed. In particular, avoid heavy or large meals within a couple of hours of bedtime. Discomfort might keep you up. Caffeine and alcohol deserve caution, too. The stimulating effects of caffeine take hours to wear off and can interfere with sleep. And even though alcohol might make you feel sleepy at first, it can disrupt sleep later in the night.
3. Create a restful environment
Keep your room cool, dark and quiet. Exposure to light in the evenings might make it more challenging to fall asleep. Avoid prolonged use of light-emitting screens just before bedtime. Consider using room-darkening shades, earplugs, a fan or other devices to create an environment that suits your needs. Doing calming activities before bedtime, such as taking a bath or using relaxation techniques, might promote better sleep.
4. Limit daytime naps
Long daytime naps can interfere with nighttime sleep. Limit naps to no more than one hour and avoid napping late in the day. However, if you work nights, you might need to nap late in the day before work to help make up your sleep debt.
5. Include physical activity in your daily routine
Regular physical activity can promote better sleep. However, avoid being active too close to bedtime. Spending time outside every day might be helpful, too.
6. Manage worries
Try to resolve your worries or concerns before bedtime. Jot down what’s on your mind and then set it aside for tomorrow. Stress management might help. Start with the basics, such as getting organized, setting priorities and delegating tasks.
40. What can be learned from the passage?
A. It’s not hard to control the factors interfering with our sleep.
B. The longer we sleep, the better we feel.
C. It’s better to remain in bed when you fail to fall asleep.
D. Stress can contribute to bad sleep.
41. According to the article, which of the following encourages better sleep?
A. Do physical exercise before going to bed. B. Drink alcohol to get sleepy.
C. Avoid long naps during the day. D. Do some indoor activities.
42. This article is most likely to come from ____________.
A. a travel magazine B. an advertisement
C. a health magazine D. an informal letter
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Distance or Face-to-Face Learning: What’s the Difference?
Although many people think it is a modern phenomenon, distance learning has been around for at least 200 years in one form or another.
When comparing the two systems, the first and most obvious area to focus on is the way that learning is delivered. Distance learning is heavily dependent on technology, particularly the internet.____43____In comparison, when learning remotely, technology is the principal means of communication. The flexibility this provides means that students may be better able to learn at their own pace, following their own timetable, but it may also mean that learners have to be well-organized and self-disciplined. They must therefore be highly motivated in order to do well on the distance-learning courses.
____44____. Namely, the teacher is the “knower”, and is responsible for helping students understand the key components of the course. However, the nature of the relationship may differ slightly within the two modes of delivery. With face-to-face learning, the teacher and student have the opportunity to develop a personal relationship through lectures, seminars and tutorials. This is different from a distance-learning course, where the teacher may seldom or indeed never actually meet the student. This may make it hard for teachers to understand their learners’ specific learning needs.
____45____. Generally, students like to meet regularly and talk to people on the same course. However, this kind of interaction on a distance-learning course is less common. Although people can increasingly interact through online conversations and message boards, there is a significant difference between virtual and real interaction. Time and geography must also be considered when contrasting these two types of learning. Face-to-face learning must take place in real time and in one location._____46_____.
In conclusion, it is difficult to state whether one form of learning is better than another, as they cater for different audiences. What is important to understand is the different ways in which they operate, and that there are strong similarities between the two systems, which can both produce positive results.
A. Historical examples of long-distance learning include students being sent a series of weekly lessons by post.
B. On the contrary, distance learning can happen at any time and in any location, since the learning is not restricted by geography.
C. On a face-to-face course, students may only require a computer for the purpose of writing an essay.
D. The technological advances of the past 20 or so years have meant that distance learning is now able to rival face-to-face learning as a credible alternative.
E. For many students, interaction with their peers is one of the best aspects of university education.
F. In terms of the teacher-student relationship, the core principles remain the same.
Ⅳ. Translation (14%)
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
47. 他这个人就喜欢在关键时刻惹麻烦。(typical) (汉译英)
48. 我谨代表全班向您表示感谢。(on behalf of)(汉译英)

ZOOOOOOOOM!!! A gust of air, the hum of spinning wheels, and a flash of color whizzing past.

I am, of course, referring to delivery drivers ___22___ through crossroads to deliver takeaway food.
Over the past few years, delivery drivers have been criticized, fined, and even ___23___ for breaking traffic laws across China. Delivery drivers often ___24___ red lights, disregard speed limits, and pay little attention to pedestrian crossings.

According to the article, ___28___ between delivery services Ele.me and Meituan has caused each app to take increasingly extreme measures to out-do(超过) the other. This has included the shortening of delivery time windows. It has been ___29___, in part, through a combination of rewards for early delivery and severe punishments for late delivery. Over time, the platforms have only increased these ___30___ on drivers.

According to surveys and reactions online, ___31___ care much whether their deliveries are a few minutes late, while most believe that it is not worth risking someone’s life for. In response, Ele.me and Meituan have added a combination of features to ___32___ delivery times for slow elevators or bad weather conditions.
Although these new ___33___ cannot solve the underlying problems of intense competition or the inherent dangers of driving, they should, in some measure, start reducing some of the pressure on drivers. In the meantime, as ___34___, we can help to make life for delivery riders safer and easier. ___35___, be a considerate person and don’t leave them waiting for too long.

Section B(14%)
Directions: Read the following two passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
When I was a puppy, I entertained you and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I was “bad”, you’d shake your finger at me and ask “How could you?”—but then you rolled me over for a belly (腹部) rub.
I remember those nights of rubbing you in bed and listening to your secret dreams, and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.
Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. She, now your wife, is not a “dog person”—still I welcomed her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy.
Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was fascinated by the pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time in another room.
There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you just answered “yes” and changed the subject. I had gone from being “your dog” to “just a dog”.
Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and they will be moving to another apartment that does not allow pets. You’ve made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.
People in the animal shelter are attentive to me, but I lost my appetite. At first whenever anyone passed, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you—that this was all a bad dream or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared, anyone who might save me.
36. How did the dog’s owner treat the puppy when it was at a younger age?
A. He entertained the puppy with jokes and gestures.
B. He treated the puppy as if it were a family member.
C. He disciplined the puppy when it made a mess.
D. He kept the puppy at a distance for the chewed shoes.
37. Why was the puppy excluded from the room after the babies were born?
A. The puppy was tempted by the babies’ pinkness and sweet smell.
B. The puppy poses a serious danger to the health and well-being of babies.
C. The couple were concerned that the babies would be in danger.
D. The master envied the natural affection between the babies and the puppy.
38. What can we infer from the last 3 paragraphs?
A. It was hard for the puppy to accept the fact that it was ignored.
B. The master had a mixed feeling for the advancement in career.
C. The puppy felt relieved for the master’s establishment of a new family.
D. It was urgent for the master to give up the puppy and move to another city.
39. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

C. The Words of an Abandoned Dog D. Animal Shelter: the Last Home for Puppies
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. A 39. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。一只忠诚但被遗弃的狗在讲述自己从小到大和主人在一起的点点滴滴的故事,主人对小狗疼爱有加,工作之余陪着小狗一起进行室内训练,带着小狗一起去公园散步,骑车,吃冰激凌,慢慢地主人的工作越来越忙,小狗见证了主人娶妻生子的整个历程,分享主人的幸福和喜悦.如今,主人要去另外一个城市从事新的工作,他们要搬到一个不允许带宠物的公寓里去,小狗表现了对主人依依不舍的感情。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段“When I was a puppy, I entertained you and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I was “bad”, you’d shake your finger at me and ask “How could you?”—but then you rolled me over for a belly (腹部) rub”可知,当我还是一只小狗的时候,我的顽皮滑稽每每惹来你发笑,为你带来欢乐。你把我叫做你的孩子,虽然家里许多鞋子和一些靠枕都被我咬得残缺不全,我依然是你最好的朋友。无论什么时候我干了“坏”事,你总会对我摇摇手指说:“你怎么可以这样呢?”不过最后你都会原谅我,把我扑倒然后搓我的肚皮。所以通过小狗的回忆可以看出,小狗的主人在小狗年幼时把小狗当家人一样对待。故B选项正确。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段“Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time in another room.”可知,小狗的主人夫妇害怕他弄伤婴儿,所以整天把小狗关在另一间房间里。所以是因为这对夫妇担心孩子会有危险。故C选项正确。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段“There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you just answered “yes” and changed the subject. I had gone from being “your dog” to “just a dog”.”可知,曾几何时,人们问起你家里有没有宠物时,你总是毫不迟疑地从包里掏出我的照片,向他们娓娓道出我的轶事。可是,近几年有人问起同一个问题,你却只是冷冷地回答“是”,随即就转向别的话题。我已经从“你的狗儿”变成只是“一条狗”了。所以通过小狗主人态度的对比,我们能从倒数三段中推断出小狗很难接受自己被忽视的事实。故A选项正确。
【39题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,一只忠诚但被遗弃的狗在讲述自己从小到大和主人在一起的点点滴滴的故事,主人对小狗疼爱有加,工作之余陪着小狗一起进行室内训练,带着小狗一起去公园散步,骑车,吃冰激凌,慢慢地主人的工作越来越忙,小狗见证了主人娶妻生子的整个历程,分享主人的幸福和喜悦.如今,主人要得另外一个城市从事新的工作,他们要搬到一个不允许带宠物的公寓里去,小狗表现了对主人依依不舍的感情。所以短文都是围绕着“一只被遗弃的狗说的话”而展开的。故短文的最佳标题为“一只被遗弃的狗说的话”。故C选项正确。
【点睛】通过对事物的对比或者比较是解决推理判断题的重要解题方法,通过对事物的对比,能够判断出事物的不同点,差距等,意在突出对方的优点或者缺点,或者判断出作者的态度,或者反映出一定的事实。
由第三段“There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you just answered “yes” and changed the subject. I had gone from being “your dog” to “just a dog”.”可知,曾几何时,人们问起你家里有没有宠物时,你总是毫不迟疑地从包里掏出我的照片,向他们娓娓道出我的轶事。可是,近几年有人问起同一个问题,你却只是冷冷地回答“是”,随即就转向别的话题。我已经从“你的狗儿”变成只是“一条狗”了。所以通过小狗主人态度的对比,我们能从倒数三段中推断出小狗很难接受自己被忽视的事实。故小题3的正确选项为A选项。
B
Many factors can interfere with a good night’s sleep — from work stress and family responsibilities to illnesses. You might not be able to control the factors that interfere with your sleep. However, you can adopt habits that encourage better sleep. Start with these simple tips.
1. Stick to a sleep schedule
Set aside no more than eight hours for sleep. The recommended amount of sleep for a healthy adult is at least seven hours. Most people don’t need more than eight hours in bed to be well rested. Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, including weekends. Being consistent reinforces your body’s sleep-wake cycle. If you don’t fall asleep within about 20 minutes of going to bed, leave your bedroom and do something relaxing. Read or listen to soothing music. Go back to bed when you’re tired. Repeat as needed, but continue to maintain your sleep schedule and wake-up time.
2. Pay attention to what you eat and drink
Don’t go to bed hungry or stuffed. In particular, avoid heavy or large meals within a couple of hours of bedtime. Discomfort might keep you up. Caffeine and alcohol deserve caution, too. The stimulating effects of caffeine take hours to wear off and can interfere with sleep. And even though alcohol might make you feel sleepy at first, it can disrupt sleep later in the night.
3. Create a restful environment
Keep your room cool, dark and quiet. Exposure to light in the evenings might make it more challenging to fall asleep. Avoid prolonged use of light-emitting screens just before bedtime. Consider using room-darkening shades, earplugs, a fan or other devices to create an environment that suits your needs. Doing calming activities before bedtime, such as taking a bath or using relaxation techniques, might promote better sleep.
4. Limit daytime naps
Long daytime naps can interfere with nighttime sleep. Limit naps to no more than one hour and avoid napping late in the day. However, if you work nights, you might need to nap late in the day before work to help make up your sleep debt.
5. Include physical activity in your daily routine
Regular physical activity can promote better sleep. However, avoid being active too close to bedtime. Spending time outside every day might be helpful, too.
6. Manage worries
Try to resolve your worries or concerns before bedtime. Jot down what’s on your mind and then set it aside for tomorrow. Stress management might help. Start with the basics, such as getting organized, setting priorities and delegating tasks.
40. What can be learned from the passage?
A. It’s not hard to control the factors interfering with our sleep.
B. The longer we sleep, the better we feel.
C. It’s better to remain in bed when you fail to fall asleep.
D. Stress can contribute to bad sleep.
41. According to the article, which of the following encourages better sleep?
A. Do physical exercise before going to bed. B. Drink alcohol to get sleepy.
C. Avoid long naps during the day. D. Do some indoor activities.
42. This article is most likely to come from ____________.

The flexibility this provides means that students may be better able to learn at their own pace, following their own timetable, but it may also mean that learners have to be well-organized and self-disciplined. They must therefore be highly motivated in order to do well on the distance-learning courses.
____44____. Namely, the teacher is the “knower”, and is responsible for helping students understand the key components of the course. However, the nature of the relationship may differ slightly within the two modes of delivery. With face-to-face learning, the teacher and student have the opportunity to develop a personal relationship through lectures, seminars and tutorials. This is different from a distance-learning course, where the teacher may seldom or indeed never actually meet the student. This may make it hard for teachers to understand their learners’ specific learning needs.
____45____. Generally, students like to meet regularly and talk to people on the same course. However, this kind of interaction on a distance-learning course is less common. Although people can increasingly interact through online conversations and message boards, there is a significant difference between virtual and real interaction. Time and geography must also be considered when contrasting these two types of learning. Face-to-face learning must take place in real time and in one location._____46_____.
In conclusion, it is difficult to state whether one form of learning is better than another, as they cater for different audiences. What is important to understand is the different ways in which they operate, and that there are strong similarities between the two systems, which can both produce positive results.
A. Historical examples of long-distance learning include students being sent a series of weekly lessons by post.
B. On the contrary, distance learning can happen at any time and in any location, since the learning is not restricted by geography.
C. On a face-to-face course, students may only require a computer for the purpose of writing an essay.
D. The technological advances of the past 20 or so years have meant that distance learning is now able to rival face-to-face learning as a credible alternative.
E. For many students, interaction with their peers is one of the best aspects of university education.
F. In terms of the teacher-student relationship, the core principles remain the same.
【答案】43. D 44. F 45. E 46. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。从三个方面介绍了远程学习和面对面学习的不同点。
【43题详解】
前文“Distance learning is heavily dependent on technology, particularly the internet. (远程教育在很大程度上依赖于技术,尤其是互联网)”介绍远程教育依赖互联网的事实。后文“In comparison, when learning remotely, technology is the principal means of communication. (比之下,远程学习时,技术是主要的交流手段)”介绍远程教育,技术是关键的事实。结合选项,D项“The technological advances of the past 20 or so years have meant that distance learning is now able to rival face-to-face learning as a credible alternative.(过去20年左右的技术进步意味着,作为一种可靠的选择,远程学习现在已经能够与面对面的学习相媲美)”承上启下,都是在强调技术的进步对远程学习的重要作用和意义:技术的进步使得远程学习可以和面对面的学习相媲美。故选D。
【44题详解】
分析篇章结构,空处应为本段中心句。后文“Namely, the teacher is the “knower”, and is responsible for helping students understand the key components of the course. However, the nature of the relationship may differ slightly within the two modes of delivery. (也就是说,老师是“知者”,负责帮助学生理解课程的关键部分。然而,在两种交付模式中,这种关系的性质可能略有不同)”介绍老师和学生之间是怎样的关系以及远程学习和面对面学习情况下,师生关系可能的变化。结合选项,F项“In terms of the teacher-student relationship, the core principles remain the same.(在师生关系方面,核心原则保持不变)”同样是介绍师生关系,不管学习形式如何变化,但是核心原则不变。引起下文。故选F。
【45题详解】
分析篇章结构,空处应为本段中心句。根据后文“Generally, students like to meet regularly and talk to people on the same course. owever, this kind of interaction on a distance-learning course is less common.(一般来说,学生们喜欢定期见面,和同一门课的人交谈。然而,这种互动在远程学习课程中并不常见)”介绍面对面学习和远程学习对学生互动的影响。结合选项,E项“For many students, interaction with their peers is one of the best aspects of university education.(对许多学生来说,与同龄人互动是大学教育中最好的方面之一)”总领本段,学生之间的互动性是教育的最好的一方面。引起下文,后文介绍两种学习方式对学生互动的影响。故选E。
【46题详解】
前文“Face-to-face learning must take place in real time and in one location. (面对面的学习必须在一个地点实时进行)”介绍面对面学习必须在某个地点进行。结合选项,B项“On the contrary, distance learning can happen at any time and in any location, since the learning is not restricted by geography.(相反,远程学习可以发生在任何时间和任何地点,因为学习不受地理限制)”介绍远程学习时,交流是不受地点限制的。与前文形成对照关系。故选B。
Ⅳ. Translation (14%)
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
47. 他这个人就喜欢在关键时刻惹麻烦。(typical) (汉译英)
【答案】It is typical of him to make trouble at critical moments.
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句子表述客观事实,故使用一般现在时。表示“某人的典型行为”使用固定结构it is typical of sb to do sth,该结构中,it为形式主语,to do不定式作真正的主语,表示“典型的,一贯如此的”用形容词typical。表示“惹麻烦”用make trouble;表示“在关键时刻”用at critical moments。故翻译为It is typical of him to make trouble at critical moments.
48. 我谨代表全班向您表示感谢。(on behalf of)(汉译英)
【答案】On behalf of the whole class, I would like to express our gratitude to you.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和名词。“谨代表”是固定短语on behalf of,“全班”是the whole class,“向您表示感谢”是express our gratitude to you,句子可理解为“我想要向您表示感谢”,因此用would like to do,结合其他汉语提示,故答案为On behalf of the whole class, I would like to express our gratitude to you.
49. 通过垃圾分类,我们都能为环保事业做出贡献。(contribute) (汉译英)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】By sorting rubbish, we can all contribute to the cause of environmental protection.
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语、动词短语、名词短语和时态。根据句意以及句子的提示词可知,表示“通过垃圾分类”应为介词短语By sorting rubbish;表示“为……作出贡献”应为动词短语contribute to;表示“环保事业”应为名词短语the cause of environmental protection;结合句意可知,该句为描述一般事实,为一般现在时。故翻译为By sorting rubbish, we can all contribute to the cause of environmental protection.
50. 毫无疑问,那些经历过艰难困苦的人更明白生命的重要意义。(doubt) (汉译英)
【答案】There is no doubt that those who have experienced hardships understand the significance of life better.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句、时态和固定句型。分析可知,本句描述客观真理,主要使用一般现在时。表示“毫无疑问”用固定句型there is no doubt that…,that引导同位语从句;表示从句中主语“那些经历过艰难困苦的人”为those who have experienced hardships,who引导的限制性定语从句修饰指人的先行词those,从句中用现在完成时,表示过去的经历对现在的影响,注意主谓一致;表示谓语部分“明白生命的重要意义”为understand the significance of life,主语为复数,主谓一致,谓语动词用原形;表示“更”为well的比较级better。句首字母大写,故翻译为There is no doubt that those who have experienced hardships understand the significance of life better.

Warm regards,
