However, after fully experiencing every benefit of my trilingual background, I became a father myself.

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 One of the advantaged of social media is that we get to see aspects of people’s lives that can be rather surprising. In fact, some of the videos that get shared remind us of the many hidden— and not-so-hidden — talents that are out there. Recently a video was shared of a construction worker taking a break and treating his co-workers to a beautiful musical interlude (插曲) in their busy day. Archive could, a painter working for a specialized painting company in Edmonton, was carrying out a job in front of a library. Looking in the window, one of his workmates noticed there was a public piano inside. Gould explained to CTV News that his workmates were aware that he’d played the piano for years, but he’d never been able to showcase his talents. Therefore on the first day on site, could sat down in his paint-stained work clothes to play for his workmates. “It was so heart melting. I love classical music to begin with. Seeing him playing exceptionally well, I was totally touched,” his work mate, Kerrie bates, shared her reaction to Gould’s performance. As for could, he was also delighted to have the opportunity to show his workmates that he was indeed able to play the piano. The performance was shared online, where it notched up an impressive number of views. And could come up with why he thought the video had become so popular, “I think half the reason that the video blew up is that I look like a construction worker. No one expects a construction worker to just demonstrate some classical music like it’s nothing.” However, his performance is not just a lesson in looking beyond a person’s outward appearance, It also reminds us that we should develop our talents gradually and enjoy them as and when we can, While we might not all be able to become professional pianists or singers, there’s so much joy to be had in having a passion and sharing it with others. 59. What role does social media play according to the first paragraph? A. A platform for people to show talents. B. Means of communication and expression. C. Place for people to share common interest. D. A tool to remind us of some important things. 60. How did Kerrie bates react to Gould’s performance? A. She considered it was incredible. B. She thought it held lasting artistic valued, C. She found it was more accessible to workers. D. She believed it deserved a great deal of fame. 61. What does the underlined phrase “notched up” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Reserved. B. Required. C. Convinced. D. Earned. 62. What does Gould’s story convey? A. The early bird catches the worm. B. Never judge a book by its cover. C. Actions speak louder than words. D.

C Researchers at Princeton have developed a passive mechanism to cool buildings in summer and warm them in winter. They report that by restricting radiant (辐射的) heat flows between buildings and their environment to specific wavelengths, coatings engineered from common materials can achieve energy savings and heat comfort that goes beyond what traditional building envelopes can achieve. “With the increase in global temperatures, maintaining habitable buildings has become a global challenge,” said researcher Jyotirmoy Mandal. “Buildings exchange a majority of heat with their environment as radiation, and by tailoring the optical (光学的) properties of their envelopes to use how radiation behaves in our environment, we can control heat in buildings in new and influential ways.” Roofs usually have an open view of the sky. This allows cool roof coatings to reflect sunlight and radiate long-wave heat skywards and eventually to space. Walls and windows, on the other hand, mostly have the ground and neighboring buildings in view. During hot weather, they are warmed by heat radiating from hot streets and nearby buildings in view. This means that even as walls and windows radiate heat to the sky, they are heated even more by the earth. During cold weather, the land environment becomes colder, discharging heat from walls and windows. The researchers realized the way around this problem lies in the different ways heat moves between buildings and the area at ground level and the ways it moves between buildings and the sky. “By coating walls and windows with materials that only radiate or absorb heat in the atmospheric window, we can reduce heat gain from the ground in summer, and loss in winter, while maintaining the cooling effect of the sky. We believe that this idea is unheard-of, and beyond what traditional roof and wall envelopes can achieve,” Mandal noted. “The mechanism we proposed is completely passive, which makes it a sustainable way to cool and heat buildings with the seasons and yield unexploited energy savings,” Mandal noted. “In fact, the benefits of the mechanisms and materials we show are highest for buildings in the global south. So, it could be a more equitable solution in resource-poor communities.” 66. What did the researchers find is the key to solving the heat problem of buildings? A. Using special materials for roofs. B. Controlling heat radiation through coatings. C. Changing the view of walls and windows. D. Improving the traditional building envelopes. 67. Which is likely to be true about the future of building design? A. More focus will be on active cooling and heating systems. B. The traditional building envelopes will be completely replaced. C. The new passive mechanism will become a standard feature. D. There will be no need for any energy consumption in buildings. 68. According to the text, what might happen if this passive mechanism fails to be adopted widely? A. Buildings will become more energy-efficient. B. The problem of global warming will be relieved. C. Energy waste in buildings will continue to increase. D. New technologies for building cooling will be developed rapidly. 69. What is Mandal’s attitude to the mechanism they developed? A. Negative. B. Favorable. C. Ambiguous. D. Suspicious. 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. Love on wheels For many commuters, a bus journey presents a rare opportunity for one to get stuck in a book. In some cities, however, public transport is being used as a means of getting books to the communities that need them the most. Vehicles are being upcycled not only to spread the joy of reading, but also to educate and improve lives. Every week two converted blue buses stocked with children’s books carefully navigate the streets of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, avoiding areas where deadly explosions are common. These travelling libraries stop off at schools in different parts of the city, delivering a wealth of reading materials directly to youngsters who have limited access to books. Afghanistan has one of the world’s lowest literacy rates, with only three in ten adults able to read, according to UNESCO. ____70____ Growing up without many books herself inspired Freshta Karim, a 27-year-old Oxford University graduate, to start Charmaghz, a non-profit organization funded by donations from local businesses and communities, in her home city. For her, buses were a cost-effective, efficient way to get books to children. Over 600 children visit the buses each day to read, socialize, and play games. “They’re often very excited,” Karim says. “____71____” On the other side of the world, in Tijuana, Mexico, another bus has been similarly transformed-this time for migrant children. Their families have come from such countries as Honduras and El Salvador to escape violence or poverty. Estefania Rebellon, founder of the Yes We Can World Foundation, which runs the bus school, had her own migrant experience as a child when her family fled Colombia for the United States. She was motivated to set up the school after volunteering at a Tijuana refugee camp. “I saw kids running around without shoes, not having anything to do,” she says. “____72____” The bus school chose a location next to a shelter for migrant families, as children make up 60% of the resident population. Apart from their studying of reading, writing, maths and science, the children receive emotional support to help them cope with the specific challenges they face. The school also provides children’s storybooks about migration, and gives them uniforms and backpacks full of school supplies. There are 45 kids at the school, with a further 30 about to be enrolled, and Yes We Can is raising funds for a second mobile school. “As the days go by, you see the change in the kids that arrive,” says Rebellon. “____73____” A. They really feel like they’re in a safe space. B We needed a fast solution to this urgent problem. C. They can’t work or rent a place because they don’t have any status. D. We were trying to understand what we could do to promote critical thinking in our country. E. One of our biggest challenges is that so many children want to come inside the bus, but we can’t have all of them in one day. F. The majority of public schools in the city do not have libraries and the city’s libraries do not offer many children’s books. 第II卷（共25分） Section A Directions: Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

A 【解析】 【原文】M: A new study predicts that South Korean women will be the first group in the world to have an average lifespan of more than 90 years. Researchers at Imperial College London and the World Health Organization studied the lifespans of people in 35 industrialized countries. Their findings suggest that by 2030 people will be living longer. It also says the gap between men and women could start to close in most countries. According to the study, the increase in life expectancy was caused by decreases in deaths from infections and long-term diseases in children and adults. The study says gains in life expectancy are a result of economic improvements. These games have led to improved use, nutrition, increased access to primary and secondary health care and the development of new medical technologies. The US is behind other developed countries. Americans continue to have one of the lower life expectancies among developed countries. The writers of the study said life expectancy increases were smaller partly because of a lack of universal healthcare in the United States. The study also said problems such as relatively high death rates in children and high rates of obesity were to blame. In other words, most people are too fat. The study said that with longer life expectancy, there will also be new pressures on health and social services. The number of people needing long term care in their old age will increase, which will put stress on available facilities given this care. The study suggests that either more facilities will need to be built or healthcare may need to be provided at home. There will also be additional pressure on pensions and social security. These are programs that provide money to people after they retire from work. With people living longer, they will require more pension and social security payments than earlier generations. The study suggests that either the retirement age will need to be increased, or plans will need to put in place to transition workers to retirement at a later age.

I would feel ____44____ when she used English on the way back from school. Speaking a different language made her, and even me, look strange. The linguistic (语言的) ____45____ of different languages during my childhood was held in place by numerous artificial divisions. English was the language spoken within the four walls of our home. French was for school, and generally everything outside the family. Then there was Italian, a language I associated with my father, and a language which I ____46____ regular visits to Italy. Behind these linguistic boundaries was my need to stay secure whatever the environment. On trips to England to visit my mother’s family, I kept my French under ____47____.

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 One of the advantaged of social media is that we get to see aspects of people’s lives that can be rather surprising. In fact, some of the videos that get shared remind us of the many hidden— and not-so-hidden — talents that are out there. Recently a video was shared of a construction worker taking a break and treating his co-workers to a beautiful musical interlude (插曲) in their busy day. Archive could, a painter working for a specialized painting company in Edmonton, was carrying out a job in front of a library. Looking in the window, one of his workmates noticed there was a public piano inside. Gould explained to CTV News that his workmates were aware that he’d played the piano for years, but he’d never been able to showcase his talents. Therefore on the first day on site, could sat down in his paint-stained work clothes to play for his workmates. “It was so heart melting. I love classical music to begin with. Seeing him playing exceptionally well, I was totally touched,” his work mate, Kerrie bates, shared her reaction to Gould’s performance. As for could, he was also delighted to have the opportunity to show his workmates that he was indeed able to play the piano. The performance was shared online, where it notched up an impressive number of views. And could come up with why he thought the video had become so popular, “I think half the reason that the video blew up is that I look like a construction worker. No one expects a construction worker to just demonstrate some classical music like it’s nothing.” However, his performance is not just a lesson in looking beyond a person’s outward appearance, It also reminds us that we should develop our talents gradually and enjoy them as and when we can, While we might not all be able to become professional pianists or singers, there’s so much joy to be had in having a passion and sharing it with others. 59. What role does social media play according to the first paragraph? A. A platform for people to show talents. B. Means of communication and expression. C. Place for people to share common interest. D. A tool to remind us of some important things. 60. How did Kerrie bates react to Gould’s performance? A. She considered it was incredible. B. She thought it held lasting artistic valued, C. She found it was more accessible to workers. D. She believed it deserved a great deal of fame. 61. What does the underlined phrase “notched up” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Reserved. B. Required. C. Convinced. D. Earned. 62. What does Gould’s story convey? A. The early bird catches the worm. B. Never judge a book by its cover. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart, 【答案】59. A 60. A 61. D 62. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位名叫Archive Gould的建筑工人在工作期间，利用休息时间弹奏钢琴，给同事们带来了惊喜和享受的故事。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“One of the advantaged of social media is that we get to see aspects of people’s lives that can be rather surprising. In fact, some of the videos that get shared remind us of the many hidden— and not-so-hidden — talents that are out there.(社交媒体的一个优势是，我们能够看到人们生活中那些可能相当令人惊讶的方面。事实上，一些被分享的视频提醒我们，世界上存在着许多隐藏或不那么隐藏的人才)”可知，社交媒体为人们提供了一个展示才华的平台。故选A。 【60题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段““It was so heart melting. I love classical music to begin with. Seeing him playing exceptionally well, I was totally touched,” his work mate, Kerrie bates, shared her reaction to Gould’s performance.(“太让人心动了。我本来就喜欢古典音乐。看到他弹得如此出色，我完全被感动了，”他的同事Kerrie Bates分享了她对Gould表演的反应)”可知，Kerrie Bates认为Gould的表演令人难以置信，非常出色。故选A。 【61题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“The performance was shared online, where it notched up an impressive number of views.(这段表演被分享到了网上， notched up令人印象深刻的观看次数)”的句子结构可知，“where it notched up an impressive number of views”是定语从句，修饰先行词“online”，且该定语从句中缺少谓语，所以“notched up”在此处作谓语，能够和“views”搭配。根据句意可知，意为“获得了”令人印象深刻的观看次数。选项D“earned”，意为“获得”，符合句意。故选D。 【62题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章提到Gould穿着沾满油漆工作服在休息时间弹奏钢琴，他的同事们非常惊讶于他弹得如此出色。Gould认为视频走红的原因是他看起来像个建筑工人，没人期望一个建筑工人能演奏古典音乐。由此推知，Gould的故事传达了不要以貌取人的道理，人们不能仅仅根据外表来判断一个人的能力或才华。故选B。 B Mother Earth News is the original guide to living wisely.

They report that by restricting radiant (辐射的) heat flows between buildings and their environment to specific wavelengths, coatings engineered from common materials can achieve energy savings and heat comfort that goes beyond what traditional building envelopes can achieve. “With the increase in global temperatures, maintaining habitable buildings has become a global challenge,” said researcher Jyotirmoy Mandal. “Buildings exchange a majority of heat with their environment as radiation, and by tailoring the optical (光学的) properties of their envelopes to use how radiation behaves in our environment, we can control heat in buildings in new and influential ways.” Roofs usually have an open view of the sky. This allows cool roof coatings to reflect sunlight and radiate long-wave heat skywards and eventually to space. Walls and windows, on the other hand, mostly have the ground and neighboring buildings in view. During hot weather, they are warmed by heat radiating from hot streets and nearby buildings in view. This means that even as walls and windows radiate heat to the sky, they are heated even more by the earth. During cold weather, the land environment becomes colder, discharging heat from walls and windows. The researchers realized the way around this problem lies in the different ways heat moves between buildings and the area at ground level and the ways it moves between buildings and the sky. “By coating walls and windows with materials that only radiate or absorb heat in the atmospheric window, we can reduce heat gain from the ground in summer, and loss in winter, while maintaining the cooling effect of the sky. We believe that this idea is unheard-of, and beyond what traditional roof and wall envelopes can achieve,” Mandal noted. “The mechanism we proposed is completely passive, which makes it a sustainable way to cool and heat buildings with the seasons and yield unexploited energy savings,” Mandal noted. “In fact, the benefits of the mechanisms and materials we show are highest for buildings in the global south. So, it could be a more equitable solution in resource-poor communities.” 66. What did the researchers find is the key to solving the heat problem of buildings? A. Using special materials for roofs. B. Controlling heat radiation through coatings. C. Changing the view of walls and windows. D. Improving the traditional building envelopes. 67. Which is likely to be true about the future of building design? A. More focus will be on active cooling and heating systems. B. The traditional building envelopes will be completely replaced. C. The new passive mechanism will become a standard feature. D. There will be no need for any energy consumption in buildings. 68. According to the text, what might happen if this passive mechanism fails to be adopted widely? A. Buildings will become more energy-efficient. B. The problem of global warming will be relieved. C. Energy waste in buildings will continue to increase. D. New technologies for building cooling will be developed rapidly. 69. What is Mandal’s attitude to the mechanism they developed? A. Negative. B. Favorable. C. Ambiguous. D. Suspicious. 【答案】66. B 67. C 68. C 69. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。普林斯顿大学研究人员开发出一种被动机制。该机制可以利用特定波长限制建筑物与环境间的辐射热流，以实现节能和热舒适，从而解决建筑物在不同季节的热量交换问题。 【66题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“They report that by restricting radiant (辐射的) heat flows between buildings and their environment to specific wavelengths, coatings engineered from common materials can achieve energy savings and heat comfort that goes beyond what traditional building envelopes can achieve.(他们报告说，通过将建筑物与其环境之间的辐射热流限制在特定波长，用普通材料设计的涂层可以实现节能和热舒适，这超出了传统建筑围护结构所能实现的)”可知，研究人员发现解决建筑热问题的关键是通过涂层控制热辐射。故选B。 【67题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““The mechanism we proposed is completely passive, which makes it a sustainable way to cool and heat buildings with the seasons and yield unexploited energy savings,” Mandal noted. “In fact, the benefits of the mechanisms and materials we show are highest for buildings in the global south. So, it could be a more equitable solution in resource-poor communities.”(“我们提出的机制完全是被动的，这使得它成为一种可持续的方法，可以根据季节冷却和加热建筑物，并带来尚未开发的能源节约，”Mandal指出。“事实上，我们展示的机制和材料对全球南方的建筑物最为有利。因此，这可能是在资源匮乏社区中实现更加公平的解决方案。”)”介绍了这种新的被动机制在节能方面的优势，以及其广阔的应用前景。所以可以推断：未来这种新的被动机制有可能成为建筑物设计的标准特征。故C选项“新的被动机制将成为一个标准功能”正确。故选C。 【68题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The mechanism we proposed is completely passive, which makes it a sustainable way to cool and heat buildings with the seasons and yield unexploited energy savings(我们提出的机制完全是被动的，这使得它成为一种可持续的方法，可以根据季节冷却和加热建筑物，并带来尚未开发的能源节约)”可知，最后一段提到了这种被动机制在节能方面的作用，可推知，如果这种被动机制不能被广泛采用，建筑能源浪费将继续增加。故选C。 【69题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““We believe that this idea is unheard-of, and beyond what traditional roof and wall envelopes can achieve,” Mandal noted.(“我们相信这个想法前所未闻，超越了传统屋顶和墙体围护结构所能达到的范畴。”Mandal说)”以及最后一段““The mechanism we proposed is completely passive, which makes it a sustainable way to cool and heat buildings with the seasons and yield unexploited energy savings,” Mandal noted. “In fact, the benefits of the mechanisms and materials we show are highest for buildings in the global south. So, it could be a more equitable solution in resource-poor communities.”(“我们提出的机制完全是被动的，这使得它成为一种可持续的方法，可以根据季节冷却和加热建筑物，并带来尚未开发的能源节约，”Mandal指出。“事实上，我们展示的机制和材料对全球南方的建筑物最为有利。因此，这可能是在资源匮乏社区中实现更加公平的解决方案。”)”可知，Mandal对他们开发的机制持肯定态度。故选B。 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. Love on wheels For many commuters, a bus journey presents a rare opportunity for one to get stuck in a book. In some cities, however, public transport is being used as a means of getting books to the communities that need them the most. Vehicles are being upcycled not only to spread the joy of reading, but also to educate and improve lives. Every week, two converted blue buses stocked with children’s books carefully navigate the streets of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, avoiding areas where deadly explosions are common. These travelling libraries stop off at schools in different parts of the city, delivering a wealth of reading materials directly to youngsters who have limited access to books. Afghanistan has one of the world’s lowest literacy rates, with only three in ten adults able to read, according to UNESCO. ____70____ Growing up without many books herself inspired Freshta Karim, a 27-year-old Oxford University graduate, to start Charmaghz, a non-profit organization funded by donations from local businesses and communities, in her home city. For her, buses were a cost-effective, efficient way to get books to children. Over 600 children visit the buses each day to read, socialize, and play games. “They’re often very excited,” Karim says. “____71____” On the other side of the world, in Tijuana, Mexico, another bus has been similarly transformed-this time for migrant children. Their families have come from such countries as Honduras and El Salvador to escape violence or poverty. Estefania Rebellon, founder of the Yes We Can World Foundation, which runs the bus school, had her own migrant experience as a child when her family fled Colombia for the United States. She was motivated to set up the school after volunteering at a Tijuana refugee camp. “I saw kids running around without shoes, not having anything to do,” she says. “____72____” The bus school chose a location next to a shelter for migrant families, as children make up 60% of the resident population. Apart from their studying of reading, writing, maths and science, the children receive emotional support to help them cope with the specific challenges they face. The school also provides children’s storybooks about migration, and gives them uniforms and backpacks full of school supplies. There are 45 kids at the school, with a further 30 about to be enrolled, and Yes We Can is raising funds for a second mobile school. “As the days go by, you see the change in the kids that arrive,” says Rebellon. “____73____” A. They really feel like they’re in a safe space. B. We needed a fast solution to this urgent problem. C. They can’t work or rent a place because they don’t have any status. D. We were trying to understand what we could do to promote critical thinking in our country. E. One of our biggest challenges is that so many children want to come inside the bus, but we can’t have all of them in one day. F. The majority of public schools in the city do not have libraries and the city’s libraries do not offer many children’s books. 【答案】70. F 71. E 72. B 73. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了阿富汗流动图书馆在城市不同地区的学校停靠，直接为那些接触不到书籍的年轻人提供丰富的阅读材料。 【70题详解】 根据上文“Afghanistan has one of the world’s lowest literacy rates, with only three in ten adults able to read, according to UNESCO. (根据联合国教科文组织的数据，阿富汗是世界上识字率最低的国家之一，只有十分之三的成年人能够阅读)”以及后文“Growing up without many books herself inspired Freshta Karim, a 27-year-old Oxford University graduate, to start Charmaghz, a non-profit organization funded by donations from local businesses and communities, in her home city. For her, buses were a cost-effective, efficient way to get books to children. (27岁的牛津大学毕业生Freshta Karim在自己没有多少书的环境中长大，这促使她在家乡创办了非营利组织Charmaghz，该组织由当地企业和社区的捐款资助。对她来说，公交车是给孩子们送书的一种经济有效的方式)”可知，本句继续说明阿富汗国家识字率低的原因。故F选项“这个城市的大多数公立学校没有图书馆，而且这个城市的图书馆也没有提供很多儿童书籍”符合语境，故选F。 【71题详解】 根据上文“Over 600 children visit the buses each day to read, socialize, and play games. “They’re often very excited,” Karim says. (每天有600多名儿童到巴士上阅读、社交和玩游戏。“他们通常都很兴奋，”卡里姆说)”可知，本句是卡里姆在继续说明儿童在巴士上阅读的情况，故E选项“我们最大的挑战之一是很多孩子都想进校车，但我们不可能一天让所有的孩子都进来”符合语境，故选E。 【72题详解】 根据上文““I saw kids running around without shoes, not having anything to do,” she says. (“我看到孩子们光着脚跑来跑去，无所事事，”她说)”可知，上文提到孩子们无所事事跑来跑去的问题，故B选项“我们需要一个快速解决这个紧急问题的办法”符合语境，故选B。 【73题详解】 根据上文“There are 45 kids at the school, with a further 30 about to be enrolled, and Yes We Can is raising funds for a second mobile school. “As the days go by, you see the change in the kids that arrive,” says Rebellon. (这所学校有45个孩子，还有30个即将入学，Yes We Can正在为第二所流动学校筹集资金。“随着时间的流逝，你会看到孩子们的变化，”瑞贝隆说)”可知，本句是在说明孩子们的变化：觉得自己在一个安全的地方，故A选项“他们真的觉得自己在一个安全的地方”符合语境，故选A。 第II卷（共25分） Section A Directions: Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

(用适当的词填空) 【答案】that 【解析】 【详解】考查同位语从句。句意：专家说，学生们意识到如果他们不努力学习，他们就会落后于别人，这在学习上帮助了他们很多。分析句子结构可知，“student’s realization”为先行词，“if they don’t work hard they will be left behind others”是对“realization”具体内容的解释说明，此为同位语从句，且从句中不缺少成分，应用that引导。故填that。 75.

(用适当的词填空) 【答案】 ①. that ②. which 【解析】 【详解】考查同位语从句和定语从句。句意：他病了一个星期的所谓充分理由昨天被我们揭露了，这使他感到羞愧。第一空说明reason的内容，引导同位语从句，从句不缺少成分和句意，故用that引导；第二空引导非限制性定语从句修饰上文句子，从句缺少主语，故用which。故填①that；②which。 76.

(用适当的词填空) 【答案】 ①. as ②. when 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句和状语从句。句意：她从来没有想到，她所面临的阶段与他们在应对健康危机时所面临的阶段相同。第一空引导定语从句，修饰先行词stage，关系词代替先行词在从句中作had been faced with的宾语，且先行词有the same修饰，应用关系as引导；第二空为状语从句的省略，表示“当……时候”用when，从句省略了主语和be动词。故填①as；②when。 77.

(所给词的适当形式填空) (用适当的词填空) 【答案】 ①. are disappearing ②. which 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态和定语从句。句意：每年都有许多珍稀动物在消失，这是一个严重的问题。第一空：根据语境以及时间状语every year可知，此处为“每年都有许多珍稀动物正在消失”，强调现阶段正在发生的情况，所以用现在进行时“be +现在分词”结构，主语“Many rare animals”是复数，be动词用are，所以填are disappearing。第二空：这是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子“Many rare animals are disappearing every year”，关系词在从句中作主语，指代前面整个句子的内容，所以用which引导。故分别填are disappearing；which。 78.
