Ⅰ.补句子　析结构 1．I bet you’d love to know what daily life is like up in space and how it differs from that on the Earth—the low gravity definitely(definite) makes ordinary things strange！(P16，Para.1) 结构分析：此句为复合句。what和how均引导宾语从句。that是代词，替代daily life。 汉语翻译：我敢肯定你很想知道太空中的日常生活是什么样子的，以及它与地球上的生活有什么不同——低重力肯定会让普通事情变得不同寻常！ 2．We usually sleep in private quarters，which are(be) more like large cupboards，or in sleeping bags attached to the walls or the ceiling.(P16，Para.2) 结构分析：此句是复合句。which 引导非限制性定语从句，修饰private quarters；过去分词短语attached to the walls or the ceiling在句中作定语，修饰sleeping bags。 汉语翻译：我们通常睡在独立的睡眠区，更像是大的橱柜，或者睡在固定在墙上或者天花板上的睡袋里。 3．With so much going(go) on，the space station needs a lot of maintenance，so we constantly(constant) check support systems and do some cleaning.(P16，Para.3) 结构分析：此句是并列句。so连接两个分句，表因果关系。with复合结构在句中作状语。 汉语翻译：空间站里发生那么多事情，需要大量的维护，所以我们经常检查空间站的支撑系统，并做一些清洁工作。 4．First，we put on our spacesuits，which allow us to breathe(breathe) in space and protect us from exposure to the cold and radiation.(P17，Para.4) 结构分析：此句是复合句。which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰spacesuits。 汉语翻译：首先，我们穿上太空服，它们可以让我们在太空中呼吸，保护我们免受寒冷和辐射的伤害。 5．During our leisure time，there’s nothing we like more than to sit back with the rest of the crew and watch our remarkable(remark) planet go by，taking pictures for our family and friends back home.(P17，Para.7) 结构分析：此句是复合句。there’s nothing...more than...意为“没有比……更……”，否定词＋比较级＝最高级；nothing后的we like more than to sit back...为省略了关系代词的定语从句，关系代词在从句中作宾语；taking pictures for our family and friends back home在句中作伴随状语。 汉语翻译：在闲暇时间，我们最喜欢做的事就是和其他的工作人员一起舒服地坐下来，看着我们非凡的地球经过，拍下照片给地球上的家人和朋友看。 Ⅱ.研典句　学用法 as引导让步状语从句 Splendid as the view of the Earth is，spacewalking is not as exciting as you might think.(P17，Para.4) 虽然地球上的景色十分壮观，但太空行走并不像你们可能想象的那么激动人心。 结构分析：句中第一个as意为“虽然，尽管”，引导让步状语从句，句子使用了部分倒装。主句中含有not as...as...“不像……一样……”结构，第一个as是副词，后常接形容词或副词原形，第二个as可用作介词(后接名词或代词)或连词(后接从句)。 ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————as引导让步状语从句的常见形式： •形容词＋as＋主语＋be＋其他成分 •副词＋as＋主语＋谓语动词＋其他成分 •单数可数名词＋as＋主语＋be＋其他成分 •动词原形＋as＋主语＋助动词/情态动词＋其他成分 ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— (1)Challenging as the mission is，we will fulfill it on time.

Since a person probably wouldn’t survive their body temperature dropping below freezing，it is suggested that people might hibernate like bears.If people are like bears，hibernation may help keep bones and muscles strong.That is important in space.Bones and muscles tend to break down in low gravity.Hibernation could cut the amount of food，water and oxygen that crews need.And it could save people from the inevitable boredom of long trips in space. 语篇解读　本文是说明文。文章介绍了一些动物和鸟类的冬眠可能会为如何让未来的宇航员进入冬眠状态以进行长期太空飞行提供一些启发。 1．What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To tell readers a story. B．To give a definition. C．To share scientific knowledge. D．To introduce the topic of the text. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段的描述并结合第二段内容可知，第一段通过描述一个故事来引出文章的主题：未来的宇航员可以进入冬眠状态以进行长期太空飞行。故选D。 2．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Human’s suspended animation. B．Living forever. C．Boarding spaceships. D．Animals’ suspended animation. 答案　A 解析　代词指代题。根据画线词前的“All of these stories have something in common：People enter an unconscious state in which they can survive for a long time.”可知，画线词所在句表示前文所述的人类进入无意识状态并长时间存活在现实世界是不可能的，结合第一段末句可推知，this指代人类的假死。故选A。 3．What’s Katharine Grabek’s attitude to human hibernation? A．Doubtful. B．Critical. C．Positive. D．Dismissive. 答案　C 解析　观点态度题。根据第三段“‘I think this is realistic，’ says Katharine Grabek，a famous biologist.‘It would be done by making ourselves as similar as we can to a hibernator.’”可知，凯瑟琳·格拉布克对人类冬眠的态度是积极的。故选C。 4．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning human hibernation? A．Its current problems. B．Its working mechanism. C．Its benefits for astronauts. D．Its appeal to the scientists. 答案　C 解析　段落大意题。根据最后一段尤其是“If people are like bears，hibernation...save people from the inevitable boredom of long trips in space.”可知，最后一段主要谈论人类冬眠对宇航员的好处。故选C。 B (2024·安徽蚌埠高二下期末) Barcelona’s opera house has celebrated its reopening to the public，but the opening night had an unusual audience.For its first concert，the theatre refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants.Yes，that’s correct.All 2,292 seats at the Gran Teatre del Liceu were occupied by green plants. These lucky ficus trees，palms，and Swiss cheese plants—which were brought in by local nurseries(苗圃)—got the pleasure of hearing Puccini’s Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group.Though the guest list was strictly limited to plants，humans still enjoyed the event as the concert was broadcast live on the theatre’s website. The idea was put forward by the artist Eugenio Ampudia.He hoped that his idea and the work would inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the idea of sustainability.“We are at the end of an era and that means that we have to change certain patterns，” he shared.“The world we live in now is not the same as that of 90 days ago，and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do.” As plants can respond to different vibrations(震动) caused by music，they certainly weren’t a passive audience—even if they weren’t able to give applause.When the concert was over，each plant was given to a different front-line healthcare worker who helped guide the country through the rough days. The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu’s task to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts.Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will become part of “la Caixa” Collection of Contemporary Art. 语篇解读　本文为说明文。文章讲述了在巴塞罗那的利塞乌大剧院举办的一场为绿植演奏的音乐会，这是由艺术家Eugenio Ampudia提出的，他希望他的想法和工作能激发人们更深入地思考他们与自然的关系和可持续发展的理念。 5．What was the special part of the concert? A．It had only 2,292 seats. B．It was performed by plants. C．It gave plants an opportunity to enjoy music. D．It welcomed the audience with plants to come. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段尤其最后一句“All 2,292 seats at the Gran Teatre del Liceu were occupied by green plants.”可知，音乐会的特别之处在于它给了植物享受音乐的机会。故选C。 6．Why did Eugenio Ampudia come up with the idea? A．The theatre was decorated with too many green plants. B．People could enjoy concert at home. C．He wanted to change the way he grew the plants. D．It could encourage people to seriously consider their relationship with nature. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段的“He hoped that his idea and the work would inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the idea of sustainability.”可知，Eugenio Ampudia提出这个想法是因为这可以鼓励人们认真考虑他们与自然的关系。故选D。 7．Which statement may Eugenio Ampudia agree with? A．The plants should have the equal rights. B．The healthcare workers are more important. C．We don’t do very well in dealing with nature. D．We did everything in a wrong way. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段第二句和最后一句可知，Eugenio Ampudia希望人们更深入地思考他们与自然的关系以及可持续发展的理念，并且必须反思所做的每一件事。由此推知，Eugenio Ampudia可能同意C选项“We don’t do very well in dealing with nature.(我们在处理自然问题上做得不是很好)”的说法。故选C。 8．In which part of a magazine can this article most probably be found? A．Teen’s Life. B．Daily Hero. C．Animals and Plants. D．Art Around the World. 答案　D 解析　文章出处题。根据第五段可知，该文章涉及了音乐与剧场表演，音乐与视觉艺术，且强调了表演的图片和视频将成为“la Caixa”当代艺术收藏的一部分，由此可知这是关于艺术方面的报道，最可能在杂志的“Art Around the World”版块找到。故选D。 Ⅲ.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，共15分) (2024·山东临沂高二下期末) Sharon，in her mid-sixties，has been coming to the adult swim class from the first day I started working at the pool.While everyone else in the class 1 their favorite stroke(泳姿)，swimming lazily back and forth，Sharon and I steal a(n) 2 of the pool to work on her biggest 3 ，the back float.Try after try she would either roll over onto her 4 ，or sink to bottom like a rock. “Don’t worry，” I’d always say to her.“You’ll 5 it one day.” She would always 6 at me，dreaming that one day she would 7 be able to do the task that she had been working so hard on for almost two years.
