A. giving B. give C. are given D. given 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查省略句。句意：如果有更多的时间和金钱，我们肯定能将工作做得更好。此处为if引导的让步状语从句，从句意为“如果我们被给予更多的时间和金钱”，表达为if we are given more time and money，主句的主语为we，从句的主语也是we，且从句中的谓语动词含有be动词，故if引导的从句可以省略“主语+be动词”，故省略为if given more time and money，故选D。 13. The hunter, by his wolf dog, walked slowly in the forest. A. following B. followed C. was followed D. follow 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：猎人带着他的狼狗在森林里慢慢地走着。此处hunter与follow构成被动关系，故用过去分词作状语，故选B。 14. Anyone to join this club should sign here. A. wishes B. wishing C. who wish D. wish 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查谓语动词形式辨析。句意：任何希望加入这个俱乐部的人都应该在这里签字。分析句意可知，空格处动词wish“希望”应该使用现在分词形式作后置定语修饰主语anyone“任何人”，与其构成主动关系。选项C构成定语从句，语法上正确，但是因先行词anyone为单数概念，wish应该使用第三人称单数，故排除。故选B项。 15. — Let’s go outing this weekend. — . I’ll pick you up on Saturday morning. A. It’s a deal B. Up to you C. No way D. Forget it 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查情景交际。句意：——咱们这个周末去郊游吧。——就这么说定了。我周六早上来接你。A. It’s a deal成交；就这么说定了；B. Up to you由你决定；取决于你；C. No way没门；不可能；D. Forget it算了；别再提了；不必在意。根据“I’ll pick you up on Saturday morning.”可知，说话者同意了郊游的提议，并给出了具体的行动安排，所以选项A“就这么定了”最符合语境。故选A。 Ⅲ.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分) 阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Teens can help solve some big problems in our world.

Are human beings to blame for climate change? These questions have burst into newspapers, TV programmes, films and popular books. The discussion on this subject has been heated. but what are scientists actually saying? At Reader's Digest, we decided to find out. Has the planet ever been this warm before? Yes. it has, and even warmer. Greenland was forested between 450,000 and 800,000 years ago, so temperatures were considerably warmer then. There have also been other times of relatively high temperatures. So why does the concern exist? It's all about the speed at which temperatures are changing. In the past temperatures moved up or down gradually. But in the 20th and 21st centuries, especially since 1976, temperatures have probably risen more quickly than during any century in the past 1,000 years. Warming may bring improved crop production and other benefits to northern countries such as Canada or Russia. However, many species may not adapt to conditions, and the ones that are able to may cause a problem. Mosquitoes have been moving northwards to higher places. The West Nile virus(病毒),first seen in North America nine years ago, infected (传染) about 4,000 people in the US in 2006.The mountain pine beetle, which is active during warmer winters, has already destroyed about 13million hectares of Canada's forests, worth an estimated $6.4 billion. What is causing the warming? The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that human activity is very likely responsible by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases and thus the greenhouse effect. More than 25 scientific societies, including those in the G8 nations, have endorsed the conclusion. Some scientists, however, still disagree, arguing that the human contribution is nothing. 36. When the planet is heating up, which of the following can most likely benefit from it? A. Forests. B. Animals. C. Agriculture. D. Industry. 37. We can infer from the passage that in the past . A. temperatures remained the same for a long time B. more and more animals died of the cold weather C. crops couldn't grow in cold countries like Russia D. the mountain pine beetle caused less damage to forests 38. The underlined word “endorsed” in the last paragraph probably means . A. challenged B. supported C. discussed D. refused 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了全球变暖的相关科学观点，包括地球历史上的温度变化、当前变暖速度的影响以及人类活动对气候变暖的作用。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Warming may bring improved crop production and other benefits to northern countries such as Canada or Russia.(全球变暖可能会带来农作物产量的提升，以及给北部国家如加拿大和俄罗斯带来其他好处。)”可知，当地球温度变暖，农业可能会受益，故选C。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In the past, temperatures moved up or down gradually. But in the 20th and 21st centuries, especially since 1976, temperatures have probably risen more quickly than during any century in the past 1,000 years.(在过去，气温逐渐上升或下降。但在20世纪和21世纪，尤其是1976年以来，气温上升的速度可能比过去1000年里的任何一个世纪都要快。)”和“The mountain pine beetle, which is active during warmer winters, has already destroyed about 13million hectares of Canada's forests, worth an estimated $6.4 billion.(山松甲虫在温暖的冬天和活跃，已经破坏了加拿大大约1300万公顷的森林，价值约64亿美元。)”可推知，山松甲虫在气温上升速度快的现在，对森林造成了极大的破坏，因此在过去，温度上升缓慢时，对森林造成的破坏较小，故选D。 【38题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词后文的转折内容“Some scientists, however, still disagree, arguing that the human contribution is nothing.(然而，一些科学家仍然不同意此观点，认为人类的作用微不足道。)”可知，此句与后文构成转折关系，故此处划线词与B项“supported(支持，同意)”意思相近，包括八国集团在内的超过25个科学协会已经同意了这一结论，然而一些科学家仍然不同意，故选B。 B You may have heard of the book Moby Dick (《白鲸记》), written by the American author Herman Melville. You may also know that Moby Dick is considered one of the greatest novels ever written. However, it might surprise you to find out that Herman Melville was not always a highly regarded author. Melville’s first two novels, Typee and Omoo, were widely read and financially successful. They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands. Melville became quite famous. However, upon the publication of his third book, Mardi, Melville’s popularity began to weaken. He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure, and his writing took on a style that alienated (使疏远) the general reading public of his time. Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851. It was an original novel, combining aspects of sociology and philosophy, which confused readers by its complex symbolism. The book sold poorly. Melville’s next book, Pierre, was almost completely disregarded by the public. Debt, frustration, and ill health finally forced Melville to take a low-paying job as a customs inspector. Eventually, Melville abandoned prose (散文) and began to write poetry. The Civil War is the main subject of Melville’s poetry. He and his brother made a trip to the front line, and he published a book of poems, Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War, based on this experience. Melville died in 1891 at the age of seventy-two. At this point, his work had been completely forgotten by the public. His talent was to go unrecognized for the next thirty years. Then, in the 1920s, his reputation began to improve as critics and readers rediscovered his work. Today Moby Dick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an American author. 39. Why did Melville’s popularity become weak? A. He changed his writing styles. B. He didn’t have much money. C. No one published his books. D. Readers turned for better works. 40. We can learn from the text that Moby Dick ________. A. sold a little better than Pierre B. was Melville’s favorite novel C. was copied from other books D. made Melville popular again 41. What is the text mainly about? A. The main works of Melville. B. The skills in Melville’s writing. C. The ups and downs of Melville. D. The reason for Melville’s failure. 【答案】39. A 40. A 41. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了著名小说《白鲸记》的作者Herman Melville作为作家和诗人的一生。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后两句“However, upon the publication of his third book, Mardi, Melville’s popularity began to weaken. He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure, and his writing took on a style that alienated the general reading public of his time.(然而，在他的第三部作品《玛迪》出版之后，梅尔维尔的受欢迎程度开始下降。他不再热衷于讲述纯粹的冒险故事，其作品风格变得让当时的一般读者难以接受)”可知，Melville受欢迎度下降是由于他转换了自己的写作风格，疏远了当时的一般读者。故选A项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。由文章的第三段“The book sold poorly.(这本书（白鲸记）卖的不好)”和第四段“Melville’s next book, Pierre, was almost completely disregarded by the public.(Melville的下一本书《皮埃尔》几乎没有得到公众的认可)”可知，相较于Pierre，Moby Dick要卖的稍微好一点。故选A项。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。本文属于人物传记，主要介绍了美国著名作家Herman Melville所写的几本小说。他的前两本小说《泰比》和《奥姆》很受欢迎，但接下来的《白鲸记》和《皮埃尔》不受欢迎，于是Melville决定转去写诗歌。但在他去世后，他的作品《白鲸记》却受到了人们的追捧。所以本篇文章主要讲述的是作家Melville跌宕起伏的人生。故选C项。 C Adults who had close contact with natural spaces during their childhood could have a better mental health than those who had less contact, according to a new study by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (IS Global). The all-adult study gave 3,600 participants a questionnaire (问卷) on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood— for example, playing in a garden, riding a bike at the park or hiking in a forest. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places. Volunteers were then given a psychological (心理的) test, which included a variety of questionnaires and problem-solving activities, to analyze their nervousness and feelings of depression within a four-week period. The results consistently showed that the people who were more exposed (暴露的) to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure—— as did those who attached higher importance to using green spaces. The study's coordinator (协调员), Wilma Zijlema, wrote that the results“show the importance of childhood exposure to natural spaces for the development of a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychological state in adulthood". She also stressed the importance of“recognizing the implications (含义) of growing up in environments with limited opportunities for exposure to nature”. According to the study, 73 percent of Europe's population only has limited access to natural spaces. Mark Nieuwenhuijsen said that“Many children in Europe lead an indoors lifestyle, so it would be desirable to make natural outdoor environments available, attractive and safe for them to play in. We make a call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children and green school yards .” While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So remember to make time to immerse yourself in nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one. 42. What was the purpose of the IS Global's study? A. To examine the advantages of taking a walk. B. To see how childhood experiences shape adult life. C. To understand the mental health problems of children. D. To study the influence of childhood exposure to natural spaces. 43. What do we know about the study? A. The participants were from all over the world. B. The participants included both children and adults. C. It focused on the participants' physical health state. D. It consisted of a questionnaire and a psychological test. 44. What do Paragraphs 5-6 mainly talk about? A. The value of the study. B. The method of the study. C. The process of the study. D. The difficulties of the study. 45 What's the best title for this passage? A. Benefits of Green Spaces B. Values of Psychological Tests C. Importance of Physical Health D. Problems of Europe's Population 【答案】42. D 43. D 44. A 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一项大规模的研究，揭示了童年时期接触自然空间对成年人心理健康的积极影响，并呼吁政策制定者采取措施，改善儿童接触自然空间的机会。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Adults who had close contact with natural spaces during their childhood could have a better mental health than those who had less contact, according to a new study by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (IS Global).(根据巴塞罗那全球健康研究所的一项新研究，童年时期与自然空间有密切接触的成年人可能比接触较少的人拥有更好的心理健康。)”可知，研究的目的是研究童年时期接触自然空间的影响。故选D项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The all-adult study gave 3,600 participants a questionnaire (问卷) on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood— for example, playing in a garden, riding a bike at the park or hiking in a forest. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places.(这项全是成年人的研究向3600名参与者提供了一份调查问卷，询问他们在童年时期使用自然空间的频率——例如，在花园里玩耍、在公园骑自行车或在森林里徒步旅行。他们还被问及使用这些地方的重要性。)” 和第三段的内容“Volunteers were then given a psychological (心理的) test, which included a variety of questionnaires and problem-solving activities, to analyze their nervousness and feelings of depression within a four-week period.(然后，志愿者们接受了一项心理测试，其中包括各种问卷调查和解决问题的活动，以分析他们在四周内的紧张情绪和抑郁情绪。)”可知，研究包括了问卷和心理测试。故选D项。 【44题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段的内容“The study’s coordinator (协调员), Wilma Zijlema, wrote that the results“show the importance of childhood exposure to natural spaces for the development of a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychological state in adulthood". She also stressed the importance of“recognizing the implications (含义) of growing up in environments with limited opportunities for exposure to nature”.(该研究的协调人Wilma Zijlema写道，研究结果“显示了童年接触自然空间对成年后培养欣赏自然的态度和健康的心理状态的重要性”。她还强调了“认识到在接触自然机会有限的环境中成长的影响”的重要性。)”和第六段的内容“According to the study, 73 percent of Europe’s population only has limited access to natural spaces. Mark Nieuwenhuijsen said that“Many children in Europe lead an indoors lifestyle, so it would be desirable to make natural outdoor environments available, attractive and safe for them to play in. We make a call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children and green school yards .”(根据这项研究，73%的欧洲人口只有有限的自然空间。Mark Nieuwenhuijsen说：“欧洲的许多孩子都过着室内生活，所以最好能给他们提供一个自然的、有吸引力的、安全的户外环境。”我们呼吁政策制定者改善儿童自然空间和绿色校园的可用性。”)”可知，第五段和第六段主要讨论了研究结果的意义和研究协调员Wilma Zijlema的观点，强调了童年时期接触自然空间的重要性以及对政策制定者的呼吁。因此，这两段主要讨论了研究的价值。故选A项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是第一段“Adults who had close contact with natural spaces during their childhood could have a better mental health than those who had less contact, according to a new study by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (IS Global).(根据巴塞罗那全球健康研究所的一项新研究，童年时期与自然空间有密切接触的成年人可能比接触较少的人拥有更好的心理健康。)”可知，文章主要探讨了童年时期接触自然空间对成年人心理健康的积极影响，并呼吁政策制定者改善儿童接触自然空间的机会。因此，用A项“Benefits of Green Spaces(绿色空间的好处)”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选A项。 V. 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Lou Gehrig was one of baseball’s greatest players. His parents didn’t want him to make a career of baseball. They thought it was a waste of time, but he loved the game. He was on his high school baseball team. A-talent scout (物色运动员的人) saw him and offered him a sports scholarship in college. The family didn’t have much money because his father was ill. His mother was a cook at the college, and Lou waited on tables to help pay his way. He started playing for the New York Yankees in 1923. His parents scraped together $14 for him to make the trip to spring training camp in New Orleans. When he got there, he started looking for a job, but the team paid him some money in advance. He was able to concentrate on practicing and improving his skills. He improved so much that two different times, he was named American League Most Valuable Player. He was called the “Iron Horse”. He played in every game for 14 years without missing even one. He played over 2,000 games. That was a record which wasn’t broken for 50 years. But then something bad happened. He could barely swing the bat and he couldn’t run around the bases any more. He knew something was wrong. He had a disease and would become unable to move. He knew he would not be able to continue playing baseball, so he resigned. The Yankees held a special day in Yankee Stadium on July 4, 1939 to honor him. In his speech he said his career in baseball made him “the luckiest man on the face of the earth”. That same year he was voted into the Hall of Fame. Even though he could no longer play baseball, he kept himself busy by taking a job serving on the New York State Parole Commission. He kept working until he died in 1941. 46. How did Lou Gehrig get his sports scholarship? (no more than 8 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 47. What information can we get from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? (no more than 15words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 48. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? (no more than 8 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 49. What did Lou Gehrig do after ho resigned? (no more than 13 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 50. What kind of person do you think Lou Gehrig is? And why? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. A talent scout offered it to him. 47. His family was poor, but his parents supported him as much as they could. 48. Lou Gehrig made great achievements in baseball. 49. He took a job serving on the New York State Parole Commission. 50. 本题为开放式话题，参考答案：Because of his great achievements in baseball, he is one of the best baseball players. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文，介绍了美国历史上传奇棒球运动员亨利·路易士·贾里格Lou Gehrig的故事。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第五句“A-talent scout (物色运动员的人) saw him and offered him a sports scholarship in college. (一位物色运动员的人看到了他，并向他提供了大学体育奖学金)”可知，Lou Gehrig之所以能获得奖学金，是因为这个物色运动员的球探给他提供了奖学金。故答案为A talent scout offered it to him. 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据画线句“His parents scraped together $14 for him to make the trip to spring training camp in New Orleans.(他的父母凑了14美元让他去新奥尔良参加春季训练营)”可推断出，凑到14美元，对于他的父母而言都很为难，但是为了儿子的梦想，他们还是去凑了，这说明这对父母努力支持儿子。故答案为His family was poor, but his parents supported him as much as they could. 【48题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“He improved so much that two different times, he was named American League Most Valuable Player. He was called the “Iron Horse”. He played in every game for 14 years without missing even one. He played over 2,000 games. That was a record which wasn’t broken for 50 years. (他的进步如此之大，以至于他两次被评为美国联盟最有价值球员。他被称为“铁马”。他参加了14年的每场比赛，一场也没有缺席。他打了2000多场比赛。这是一个50年来没有打破的记录)”可知，本段主要呈现了他作为棒球运动员获得了很多成就。故答案为Lou Gehrig made great achievements in baseball. 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Even though he could no longer play baseball, he kept himself busy by taking a job serving on the New York State Parole Commission. (尽管他不能再打棒球了，但他还是通过在纽约州假释委员会工作来保持忙碌)”可知，他辞职后就职于纽约州假释委员会。故答案为He took a job serving on the New York State Parole Commission. 【50题详解】 开放性题目。根据全文可对主人公Lou Gehrig做一个评价，没有标准答案。比如说，根据第三段“He improved so much that two different times, he was named American League Most Valuable Player. He was called the “Iron Horse”. He played in every game for 14 years without missing even one. He played over 2,000 games. That was a record which wasn't broken for 50 years. (他的进步如此之大，以至于他两次被评为美国联盟最有价值球员。他被称为“铁马”。他参加了14年的每场比赛，一场也没有缺席。他打了2000多场比赛。这是一个50年来没有打破的记录)”可知，他在棒球上取得了很大的成绩，可这样评价他：Because of his great achievements in baseball, he is one of the best baseball players.

These questions have burst into newspapers, TV programmes, films and popular books. The discussion on this subject has been heated. but what are scientists actually saying? At Reader's Digest, we decided to find out. Has the planet ever been this warm before? Yes. it has, and even warmer. Greenland was forested between 450,000 and 800,000 years ago, so temperatures were considerably warmer then. There have also been other times of relatively high temperatures. So why does the concern exist? It's all about the speed at which temperatures are changing. In the past, temperatures moved up or down gradually. But in the 20th and 21st centuries, especially since 1976, temperatures have probably risen more quickly than during any century in the past 1,000 years. Warming may bring improved crop production and other benefits to northern countries such as Canada or Russia. However, many species may not adapt to conditions, and the ones that are able to may cause a problem. Mosquitoes have been moving northwards to higher places. The West Nile virus(病毒),first seen in North America nine years ago, infected (传染) about 4,000 people in the US in 2006.The mountain pine beetle, which is active during warmer winters, has already destroyed about 13million hectares of Canada's forests, worth an estimated $6.4 billion. What is causing the warming? The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that human activity is very likely responsible, by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases and thus the greenhouse effect. More than 25 scientific societies, including those in the G8 nations, have endorsed the conclusion. Some scientists, however, still disagree, arguing that the human contribution is nothing. 36. When the planet is heating up, which of the following can most likely benefit from it? A. Forests. B. Animals. C. Agriculture. D. Industry. 37. We can infer from the passage that in the past . A. temperatures remained the same for a long time B. more and more animals died of the cold weather C. crops couldn't grow in cold countries like Russia D. the mountain pine beetle caused less damage to forests 38. The underlined word “endorsed” in the last paragraph probably means . A. challenged B. supported C. discussed D. refused B You may have heard of the book Moby Dick (《白鲸记》), written by the American author Herman Melville. You may also know that Moby Dick is considered one of the greatest novels ever written. However, it might surprise you to find out that Herman Melville was not always a highly regarded author. Melville’s first two novels, Typee and Omoo, were widely read and financially successful. They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands. Melville became quite famous. However, upon the publication of his third book, Mardi, Melville’s popularity began to weaken. He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure, and his writing took on a style that alienated (使疏远) the general reading public of his time. Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851. It was an original novel, combining aspects of sociology and philosophy, which confused readers by its complex symbolism. The book sold poorly. Melville’s next book, Pierre, was almost completely disregarded by the public. Debt, frustration, and ill health finally forced Melville to take a low-paying job as a customs inspector. Eventually, Melville abandoned prose (散文) and began to write poetry. The Civil War is the main subject of Melville’s poetry. He and his brother made a trip to the front line and he published a book of poems, Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War, based on this experience. Melville died in 1891 at the age of seventy-two. At this point, his work had been completely forgotten by the public. His talent was to go unrecognized for the next thirty years. Then, in the 1920s, his reputation began to improve as critics and readers rediscovered his work. Today Moby Dick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an American author. 39. Why did Melville’s popularity become weak? A. He changed his writing styles. B. He didn’t have much money. C. No one published his books. D. Readers turned for better works. 40. We can learn from the text that Moby Dick ________. A. sold a little better than Pierre B. was Melville’s favorite novel C. was copied from other books D. made Melville popular again 41. What is the text mainly about? A. The main works of Melville. B. The skills in Melville’s writing. C. The ups and downs of Melville. D. The reason for Melville’s failure. C Adults who had close contact with natural spaces during their childhood could have a better mental health than those who had less contact, according to a new study by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (IS Global). The all-adult study gave 3,600 participants a questionnaire (问卷) on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood— for example, playing in a garden, riding a bike at the park or hiking in a forest. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places. Volunteers were then given a psychological (心理的) test, which included a variety of questionnaires and problem-solving activities, to analyze their nervousness and feelings of depression within a four-week period. The results consistently showed that the people who were more exposed (暴露的) to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure—— as did those who attached higher importance to using green spaces. The study's coordinator (协调员), Wilma Zijlema, wrote that the results“show the importance of childhood exposure to natural spaces for the development of a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychological state in adulthood". She also stressed the importance of“recognizing the implications (含义) of growing up in environments with limited opportunities for exposure to nature”. According to the study, 73 percent of Europe's population only has limited access to natural spaces. Mark Nieuwenhuijsen said that“Many children in Europe lead an indoors lifestyle, so it would be desirable to make natural outdoor environments available, attractive and safe for them to play in. We make a call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children and green school yards .” While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So remember to make time to immerse yourself in nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one. 42. What was the purpose of the IS Global's study? A. To examine the advantages of taking a walk. B. To see how childhood experiences shape adult life. C. To understand the mental health problems of children. D. To study the influence of childhood exposure to natural spaces. 43. What do we know about the study? A. The participants were from all over the world. B. The participants included both children and adults. C. It focused on the participants' physical health state. D. It consisted of a questionnaire and a psychological test. 44. What do Paragraphs 5-6 mainly talk about? A. The value of the study. B. The method of the study. C. The process of the study. D. The difficulties of the study. 45. What's the best title for this passage? A. Benefits of Green Spaces B. Values of Psychological Tests C. Importance of Physical Health D. Problems of Europe's Population V. 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Lou Gehrig was one of baseball’s greatest players. His parents didn’t want him to make a career of baseball.

He could barely swing the bat and he couldn’t run around the bases any more. He knew something was wrong. He had a disease and would become unable to move. He knew he would not be able to continue playing baseball, so he resigned. The Yankees held a special day in Yankee Stadium on July 4, 1939 to honor him. In his speech he said his career in baseball made him “the luckiest man on the face of the earth”. That same year he was voted into the Hall of Fame. Even though he could no longer play baseball, he kept himself busy by taking a job serving on the New York State Parole Commission. He kept working until he died in 1941. 46.
