Deveza wanted to donate one of her own kidneys, but she was turned down because she might develop the same health problems as her mother in later life. Deveza came up with a different plan. In 2017, she started the world’s first paired exchange of different organs between living donors, exchanging half her liver (肝) for someone else’s kidney. A case study of the organ exchange has now been published. And the surgeons who were involved are calling for more exchanges like this. “You can imagine the enormous impact for mixed organ extended chains,” says John Roberts, a surgeon at University of California, San Francisco. Most organ transplants come from people who have died, but there are never enough organs. As most people can manage with just one of their kidneys, people with kidney failure are increasingly receiving donated organs from relatives or friends. If someone wants to donate but their immune (免疫的) system is unsuited, doctors may be able to find pairs of would-be donors who can each give a kidney to the other’s relative. When Deveza was looking into such chains, she came across research describing the idea of trading a kidney with the only other organ generally taken from a living donor—the liver. She suggested the idea to many hospitals before she finally contacted Roberts, who saw the idea’s potential. Deveza was assessed to be in good enough health to donate part of her liver. It then took 18 months to find Annie Simmons, in Idaho, whose liver was unsuitable to use as a transplant for her sister with severe liver disease. They drew up a plan: Simmons would donate a kidney to Deveza’s mother, and in return, Deveza would give half her liver to Simmons’ sister. The hospital gave the go-ahead and the four operations took place on the same day successfully. The team hopes that the ground-breaking case will inspire more people to consider doing the same. Roberts says that direct exchanges involving two donors could enable up to thirty extra living donor liver transplants a year—a ten per cent increase. 4. What did Deveza do to save her mother? A. Carrying out a case study. B. Calling for kidney donations. C. Launching a medical experiment. D. Trading half her liver for a kidney. 5. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Patients’ hopelessness to survive. B. Several sources of organ donation. C. Current situation of organ transplants. D. Doctors’ efforts to improve organ transplants. 6. What can be inferred about the organ exchange between Deveza and Simmons? A. It discouraged organ donation. B. It brought two families together. C. It met with widespread approval. D. It produced a desirable outcome. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. My Liver, Your Kidney B. Mother’s Love, Our Happiness C. Organ Transplant: Blessing for Patients D. Organ Exchange: Major Medical Advances C Modern agriculture and its ability to feed billions of people may be among humanity’s greatest successes. However, it comes with hidden costs. For example, have you ever considered how much water is needed to provide you with a steak or a salad? It may surprise you. In a recent study published in the journal Nutrients, scientists from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization(CSIRO), Australia's national science organization, took a close look at the diets of 9,341 adult Australians—specifically, their “water-scarcity footprints(水消耗足迹)”. It turned out that a sweet tooth not only adds to our waistlines(腰围) but also stresses our water resources. The water-scarcity footprint is a widely recognized measurement of water consumption. First, it counts the liters of water you used. Then, it looks at the place where the water was used. The more lacking water is in your area, the larger your water-scarcity footprint. The scientists found that the average Australian's diet had a water-scarcity footprint of 362 liters per day. Snacks—cookies, cakes and alcohol—accounted for 25 percent of the water-scarcity footprint. The research also included a glass of wine(41 liters), a single serving of potato chips(23 liters), and a small bar of milk chocolate(21 liters). Not surprisingly, cutting out snacks would be the N0.1 priority if you wanted to lower your own water-scarcity footprint. Earth's surface is 70 percent water, but only 2.5 percent of that can be used for drinking or farming. By 2030, a world of about 8.6 billion people will need 35 percent more water, 40 percent more energy, and 50 percent more food, according to the United States National Intelligence Council. So, we need to watch what we eat, not just for our personal health but for the health of our societies. 8. What did the recent study closely focus on? A. Modern agriculture. B. Average Australians. C. Water resources. D. Water-scarcity footprints. 9. What did scientists from CSIRO find in their study? A. Sweet teeth lead to thin waistlines. B. Australians' diets are mainly made up of snacks. C. The water-scarcity fooprint is a measurement of saving water. D. Lacking water in our area means a larger water-scarcity footprint. 10. What does the underlined part “the N0.1 priority” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. the least important thing B. the least impossible thing C. something to be done first D. something to be prevented first 11. What does the last paragraph intend to tell us? A. Take care of our diets. B. Protect our drinking water. C. Make good use of energy. D. Produce more healthy food. D Many people have participated into lots of virtual meetings these years. Some research shows this adjustment might not impact workplace productivity to any great degree. A new study, though, suggests otherwise. In the study, 602 participants were randomly paired and asked to come up with creative uses for a product. They were also randomly selected to work together either in person or virtually. The pairs were then ranked by assessing their total number of ideas, as well as those concepts’ degree of novelty, and asked to submit their best idea. Among the groups, virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas, suggesting that something about face-to-face interaction generates more creative ideas. The findings could stiffen employers’ resolve to urge or require their employees to come back to the office. “We ran this experiment based on feedback from companies that it was harder to innovate with remote workers,” said lead researcher Melanie Brucks. “Unlike other forms of virtual communication, like phone calls or e-mail, videoconferencing copies the in-person experience quite well, so I was surprised when we found meaningful differences between in-person and video interaction for idea generation. ” When random objects were placed in both the virtual and physical rooms, the virtual pairs of participants spent more time looking directly at each other rather than letting their look wander about the room and taking in the entire scene. Eyeing one’s whole environment and noticing the random objects were associated with increased idea generation. On platforms, the screen occupies our interactions. Our look wavers less. “Looking away might come across as rude, ” said Brucks,“so we have to look at the screen because that is the defined context of the interaction, the same way we wouldn’t walk to another room while talking to someone in person. ” Like most educators, Brucks has primarily taught virtually in the past three years, and she did notice some benefits of the approach as well. Her students were more likely to take turns speaking and her shyer students spoke up more often, rid of the anxiety that comes from addressing a large classroom. Brucks found that one solution to improving virtual idea generation might be to simply turn off the camera, for her students felt “freer” and more creative when asked to do so. And this may be sound advice for the workplace. Virtual teamwork can’t replace face-to-face teamwork. Idea selection proficiency (能力) is only valuable if you have strong options to select from, and face-to-face teams are the best means to generate winning options. Perhaps the workplace will find a compromise—a sweet spot in the middle that balances working from both home and office. 12. What does the underlined word “stiffen” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Shake. B. Revise. C. Challenge. D. Strengthen. 13. At first, lead researcher Melanie Brucks might think that ________. A. videoconferencing can’t compare with in-person communication B. participants should make eye contact in an online meeting C. the feedback from companies seems questionable D. creative ideas may emerge from casual thoughts 14. What can we learn about Brucks’ class? A. Her students relieved anxiety by speaking up. B. Her students progressed in focusing attention. C. Her students took advantage of virtual learning. D. Her students displayed talent for public speaking. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Interacting Virtually Impacts Working Participation B. Maintaining Teamwork Improves Idea Generation C. Grouping Randomly Increases Productivity D. Brainstorming Online Limits Creativity 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选。 Scientists and spiritual teachers alike agree that the simple act of smiling can transform you and the world around you.

Deveza wanted to donate one of her own kidneys, but she was turned down because she might develop the same health problems as her mother in later life. Deveza came up with a different plan. In 2017, she started the world’s first paired exchange of different organs between living donors, exchanging half her liver (肝) for someone else’s kidney. A case study of the organ exchange has now been published. And the surgeons who were involved are calling for more exchanges like this. “You can imagine the enormous impact for mixed organ extended chains,” says John Roberts, a surgeon at University of California, San Francisco. Most organ transplants come from people who have died, but there are never enough organs. As most people can manage with just one of their kidneys, people with kidney failure are increasingly receiving donated organs from relatives or friends. If someone wants to donate but their immune (免疫的) system is unsuited, doctors may be able to find pairs of would-be donors who can each give a kidney to the other’s relative. When Deveza was looking into such chains, she came across research describing the idea of trading a kidney with the only other organ generally taken from a living donor—the liver. She suggested the idea to many hospitals before she finally contacted Roberts, who saw the idea’s potential. Deveza was assessed to be in good enough health to donate part of her liver. It then took 18 months to find Annie Simmons, in Idaho, whose liver was unsuitable to use as a transplant for her sister with severe liver disease. They drew up a plan: Simmons would donate a kidney to Deveza’s mother, and in return, Deveza would give half her liver to Simmons’ sister. The hospital gave the go-ahead and the four operations took place on the same day successfully. The team hopes that the ground-breaking case will inspire more people to consider doing the same. Roberts says that direct exchanges involving two donors could enable up to thirty extra living donor liver transplants a year—a ten per cent increase. 4. What did Deveza do to save her mother? A. Carrying out a case study. B. Calling for kidney donations. C. Launching a medical experiment. D. Trading half her liver for a kidney. 5. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Patients’ hopelessness to survive. B. Several sources of organ donation. C. Current situation of organ transplants. D. Doctors’ efforts to improve organ transplants. 6. What can be inferred about the organ exchange between Deveza and Simmons? A. It discouraged organ donation. B. It brought two families together. C. It met with widespread approval. D. It produced a desirable outcome. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. My Liver, Your Kidney B. Mother’s Love, Our Happiness C. Organ Transplant: Blessing for Patients D. Organ Exchange: Major Medical Advances 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上第一次活体捐赠者之间不同器官的配对交换手术及手术的意义。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Deveza came up with a different plan. In 2017, she started the world’s first paired exchange of different organs between living donors, exchanging half her liver (肝) for someone else’s kidney.(Deveza想出了一个不同的计划。2017年，她开始了世界上第一次活体捐赠者之间不同器官的配对交换，用一半的肝脏换别人的肾脏)”可知，为了救自己的母亲，Deveza打算用自己一半的肝脏换别的捐赠者的肾脏。由此可知，为了救她的母亲，Deveza决定用半个肝脏换一个肾脏。故选D项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。通读第三段内容，结合关键句“Most organ transplants come from people who have died, but there are never enough organs.(大多数器官移植来自已经去世的人，但器官永远不够)”和“If someone wants to donate but their immune (免疫的) system is unsuited, doctors may be able to find pairs of would-be donors who can each give a kidney to the other’s relative.(如果有人想捐献，但他们的免疫系统不适合，医生可能会找到两对潜在的捐赠者，他们可以各自给对方的亲属一个肾)”可知，第三段主要介绍了器官移植的现状，对需要接受器官移植的人来说，器官永远不够，医生为此想出了捐赠者之间的配对交换。由此可知，第三段主要介绍了器官移植的现状。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“They drew up a plan: Simmons would donate a kidney to Deveza’s mother, and in return, Deveza would give half her liver to Simmons’ sister.

However, it comes with hidden costs. For example, have you ever considered how much water is needed to provide you with a steak or a salad? It may surprise you. In a recent study published in the journal Nutrients, scientists from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization(CSIRO), Australia's national science organization, took a close look at the diets of 9,341 adult Australians—specifically, their “water-scarcity footprints(水消耗足迹)”. It turned out that a sweet tooth not only adds to our waistlines(腰围) but also stresses our water resources. The water-scarcity footprint is a widely recognized measurement of water consumption. First, it counts the liters of water you used. Then, it looks at the place where the water was used. The more lacking water is in your area, the larger your water-scarcity footprint. The scientists found that the average Australian's diet had a water-scarcity footprint of 362 liters per day. Snacks—cookies, cakes and alcohol—accounted for 25 percent of the water-scarcity footprint. The research also included a glass of wine(41 liters), a single serving of potato chips(23 liters), and a small bar of milk chocolate(21 liters). Not surprisingly, cutting out snacks would be the N0.1 priority if you wanted to lower your own water-scarcity footprint. Earth's surface is 70 percent water, but only 2.5 percent of that can be used for drinking or farming. By 2030, a world of about 8.6 billion people will need 35 percent more water, 40 percent more energy, and 50 percent more food, according to the United States National Intelligence Council. So, we need to watch what we eat, not just for our personal health but for the health of our societies. 8. What did the recent study closely focus on? A. Modern agriculture. B. Average Australians. C. Water resources. D. Water-scarcity footprints. 9. What did scientists from CSIRO find in their study? A. Sweet teeth lead to thin waistlines. B. Australians' diets are mainly made up of snacks. C. The water-scarcity fooprint is a measurement of saving water. D. Lacking water in our area means a larger water-scarcity footprint. 10. What does the underlined part “the N0.1 priority” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. the least important thing B. the least impossible thing C. something to be done first D. something to be prevented first 11 What does the last paragraph intend to tell us? A. Take care of our diets. B. Protect our drinking water. C. Make good use of energy. D. Produce more healthy food. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了现代农业虽然养活数十亿人，但是它也带来了隐藏的成本。水消耗足迹是一种被广泛认可的衡量水消耗的指标，一项关注于水消耗足迹的研究表明，你所在的地区缺水越严重，你的水消耗足迹就越大。且饼干、蛋糕和酒精等零食造成了25%的水消耗足迹。因此我们应该注意我们的饮食。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段In a recent study published in the journal Nutrients, scientists from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization(CSIRO), Australia's national science organization, took a close look at the diets of 9,341 adult Australians—specifically, their “water-scarcity footprints(水消耗足迹)”.可知澳大利亚国家科学组织联邦科学与工业研究组织的科学家最近在《营养》杂志上发表了一项研究，他们仔细研究了9341名澳大利亚成年人的饮食——特别是他们的“水消耗足迹”。由此可知，最近的研究关注的是水消耗足迹。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中The more lacking water is in your area, the larger your water-scarcity footprint.可知你所在的地区缺水越严重，你的水消耗足迹就越大。由此可知，CSIRO的科学家在他们的研究中发现了所在地区缺水意味着更大的水消耗足迹。故选D。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中Snacks—cookies, cakes and alcohol—accounted for 25 percent of the water-scarcity footprint. The research also included a glass of wine(41 liters), a single serving of potato chips(23 liters), and a small bar of milk chocolate(21 liters).可知饼干、蛋糕和酒精等零食造成了25%的缺水足迹。研究还包括一杯葡萄酒（41升），一份薯片（23升）和一小块牛奶巧克力（21升）。由此可知，如果你想降低自己的水消耗足迹，减少零食将是首先要做的事情。故划线短语“the N0.1 priority”意思为“首先要做的事情”。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中So, we need to watch what we eat, not just for our personal health but for the health of our societies.可知所以，我们需要注意我们吃什么，不仅是为了我们个人的健康，也是为了我们整个社会的健康。由此可推知，最后一段想告诉我们注意我们的饮食。故选A。 D Many people have participated into lots of virtual meetings these years. Some research shows this adjustment might not impact workplace productivity to any great degree. A new study, though, suggests otherwise. In the study, 602 participants were randomly paired and asked to come up with creative uses for a product. They were also randomly selected to work together either in person or virtually. The pairs were then ranked by assessing their total number of ideas, as well as those concepts’ degree of novelty, and asked to submit their best idea. Among the groups, virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas, suggesting that something about face-to-face interaction generates more creative ideas. The findings could stiffen employers’ resolve to urge or require their employees to come back to the office. “We ran this experiment based on feedback from companies that it was harder to innovate with remote workers,” said lead researcher Melanie Brucks. “Unlike other forms of virtual communication, like phone calls or e-mail, videoconferencing copies the in-person experience quite well, so I was surprised when we found meaningful differences between in-person and video interaction for idea generation. ” When random objects were placed in both the virtual and physical rooms, the virtual pairs of participants spent more time looking directly at each other rather than letting their look wander about the room and taking in the entire scene. Eyeing one’s whole environment and noticing the random objects were associated with increased idea generation. On platforms, the screen occupies our interactions. Our look wavers less. “Looking away might come across as rude, ” said Brucks,“so we have to look at the screen because that is the defined context of the interaction, the same way we wouldn’t walk to another room while talking to someone in person. ” Like most educators, Brucks has primarily taught virtually in the past three years, and she did notice some benefits of the approach as well. Her students were more likely to take turns speaking and her shyer students spoke up more often, rid of the anxiety that comes from addressing a large classroom. Brucks found that one solution to improving virtual idea generation might be to simply turn off the camera, for her students felt “freer” and more creative when asked to do so. And this may be sound advice for the workplace. Virtual teamwork can’t replace face-to-face teamwork. Idea selection proficiency (能力) is only valuable if you have strong options to select from, and face-to-face teams are the best means to generate winning options. Perhaps the workplace will find a compromise—a sweet spot in the middle that balances working from both home and office. 12. What does the underlined word “stiffen” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Shake. B. Revise. C. Challenge. D. Strengthen. 13. At first, lead researcher Melanie Brucks might think that ________. A. videoconferencing can’t compare with in-person communication B. participants should make eye contact in an online meeting C. the feedback from companies seems questionable D. creative ideas may emerge from casual thoughts 14. What can we learn about Brucks’ class? A. Her students relieved anxiety by speaking up. B. Her students progressed in focusing attention. C. Her students took advantage of virtual learning. D. Her students displayed talent for public speaking. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Interacting Virtually Impacts Working Participation B. Maintaining Teamwork Improves Idea Generation C. Grouping Randomly Increases Productivity D. Brainstorming Online Limits Creativity 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。一个新的研究发现：与面对面交流相比，虚拟会议不利于创新想法的产生，文章分析了原因，并给出了建议。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Among the groups, virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas, suggesting that something about face-to-face interaction generates more creative ideas. The findings could stiffen employers’ resolve to urge or require their employees to come back to the office. (在这些小组中，虚拟配对提出的想法要少得多，这表明面对面交流能产生更多创造性的想法。这些发现可能会stiffen雇主敦促或要求员工回到办公室的决心。)”可知，面对面的交流有利于创造性想法的产生，虚拟会议不如面对面交流，所以对于雇主来讲，要求员工回到办公室才会有更多的创造性想法，stiffen意为“加强”，此处为“加强了雇主的决心”，划线词与Strengthen意思相近，故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“‘We ran this experiment based on feedback from companies that it was harder to innovate with remote workers,’ said lead researcher Melanie Brucks. ‘Unlike other forms of virtual communication, like phone calls or e-mail, videoconferencing copies the in-person experience quite well, so I was surprised when we found meaningful differences between in-person and video interaction for idea generation.’ (首席研究员梅勒妮·布鲁克斯说：‘我们进行这项实验的依据是，一些公司反馈说，让远程员工更难创新。与电话或电子邮件等其他形式的虚拟交流不同，视频会议很好地复制了面对面的体验，所以当我们发现面对面互动和视频互动在产生想法方面的显著差异时，我很惊讶。’)”可知，因为有公司反映：远程员工难创新，所以首席研究员梅兰妮·布鲁克斯组织了实验，来验证公司所反映的情况，在发现面对面交流与视频互动交流所带来的创新想法的差异与公司反映的一样时，他很是惊讶，说明他原来认为公司的反馈值得怀疑，故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Like most educators, Brucks has primarily taught virtually in the past three years, and she did notice some benefits of the approach as well. Her students were more likely to take turns speaking and her shyer students spoke up more often, rid of the anxiety that comes from addressing a large classroom. (像大多数教育工作者一样，布鲁克斯在过去三年主要是虚拟教学，她也注意到这种方法的一些好处。她的学生更有可能轮流发言，她那些比较害羞的学生也更经常发言，消除了在大教室讲话时的焦虑。)”可知，布鲁克斯的虚拟课堂上，学生可能轮流发言，连害羞的学生也能经常发言，故可推知，他的学生能充分利用虚拟学习。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Many people have participated into lots of virtual meetings these years. Some research shows this adjustment might not impact workplace productivity to any great degree. A new study, though, suggests otherwise. (这些年来，许多人参加了许多虚拟会议。一些研究表明，这种调整可能不会在很大程度上影响工作场所的生产力。然而，一项新的研究表明情况并非如此。)”，以及第二段“Among the groups, virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas, suggesting that something about face-to-face interaction generates more creative ideas. The findings could stiffen employers’ resolve to urge or require their employees to come back to the office. (在这些小组中，虚拟配对提出的想法要少得多，这表明面对面交流能产生更多创造性的想法。这些发现可能会坚定雇主敦促或要求员工回到办公室的决心。)”可知，虚拟会议对工作场所的生产力有不利影响，“Brainstorming Online Limits Creativity (网上头脑风暴限制创造力)”作标题比较贴切。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选。 Scientists and spiritual teachers alike agree that the simple act of smiling can transform you and the world around you.

During my stay there, I spent many time studying in the main library Widener. I enjoyed myself in the ocean of knowledge, either doing research for my papers or read special edition books. The library, that is named after its donor Harry Widener, stands right next the Emerson building of philosophy. Opening a pair of heavy yet elegant metal door, I was immediately bathed in warm light. I wandered around the library, fascinating to find one treasure after other. The library is a amazing place. Only if when one visits the library can he fully experience the academic atmosphere. For me, the library as well as the courses explain Harvard’s place as the home of devoted scholars. 【答案】1. many→much 2. read→reading 3.that→which 4. next后面加to 5. door→doors 6.fascinating→fascinated 7. other→another 8. a→an 9. if或者when去掉 10. explain→explains 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文，主要向读者介绍了怀德纳图书馆以及作者的感受。 【详解】1.考查形容词。句意：我大多数时间是在怀德纳主图书馆里学习。time不可数名词，应用much来修饰。many用来修饰可数名词。故将many改为much。 2.考查非谓语动词。句意：我喜欢沉浸在知识的海洋里，要么为我的论文做研究，要么读一些特别版的书。either…or…要么……要么……，在文中起并列的作用，前后保持一致，根据either后用doing可知or后也应用分词形式，因为我读书，所以此处read“读”的动作与主语I的关系构成主动，所以用reading。故将read改为reading。 3.考查定语从句。句意：这个以它的捐赠者Harry Widener命名的图书馆就坐落在艾默生哲学楼的旁边。文中“that”用来引导定语从句，但是that前有逗号，为非限制性定语从句，不能用that，且先行词为the library是物，应用which。故将that改为which。 4.考查介词。句意：这个以它的捐赠者Harry Widener命名的图书馆就坐落在艾默生哲学楼的旁边。next to“紧邻，在……近旁”。根据文中可知图书馆就坐落在艾默生哲学楼的旁边。故在next后面加to。 5.考查名词。句意：打开一对厚重而优雅的金属门，我立刻就沐浴在温暖的灯光中。根据文中a pair of“一对，一双”后应跟名词复数。所以应用doors。故将door改为doors。 6.考查形容词。句意：我漫步在图书馆里，着迷于寻找一个又一个珍宝。根据句子结构可知，我着迷于寻找一个又一个珍宝，此处是主语I的主观感受，fascinating“令人着迷的”； fascinated“人感到着迷的”。故将fascinating改为fascinated。 7.考查代词。句意：我漫步在图书馆里，着迷于寻找一个又一个珍宝。one after another固定搭配，意为“一个接着一个，一个又一个”。故将other改为another。 8考查冠词。句意：这所图书馆是一个神奇的地方。amazing首字母发音为元音音标。根据语法规则，首字母发音为元音音标的单词前用冠词an；首字母发音为辅音音标的单词前用冠词a。故将a改为an。 9.考查状语从句。句意：只有当人们参观图书馆时，他才可以完全体验这里学术氛围。Only if或者only when都可以表示“只有（当）……才……”。此处只用一个就可以。故把if或者when去掉。 10.考查主谓一致。句意：对于我来说，这所图书馆和这里的课程解释了哈佛作为学者之家的地位。当as well as 连接两个成分作主语时，其后谓语动词的单复数形式应该与as well as前面的一个主语保持一致。根据句子成分可知，本句主语为the library as well as the courses，所以谓语应与the library保持一致，应该用第三人称单数形式explains。故将explain改为explains。 第二节：书面表达(满分25分) 52. 假如你是学生会主席李华，随着高考临近，你校学生会发起了为期一个月的“挑战自我，提高自我”活动，请你代表学生会以“Let’s Strive to Be Better Ourselves”为题，写一篇发言稿，就提高自我的方法给出一些建议，内容包括： 1. 提高自我的重要性； 2. 如何提高自我； 3. 表达期望。 注意：1. 词数 80 左右； 2. 可以适当增加情节，以使行文连贯。 Let’s Strive to Be Better Ourselves ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Let’s Strive to Be Better Ourselves We encounter various challenges in our life and improving ourselves is the best way to deal difficulties bravely.
