habit'”可知，小狗让“我”偷快地(joyfully)开始 英语答案第2页（共6页） 了健康的新习惯。 语法填空本文是一篇议论文，主要介绍了中国在环保方面作出的努力。 56.has made考查时态和主谓一致。“In recent decades'”是现在完成时的标志，主语China是第三人称单数，所以用 has made. 57.brought考查非谓语动词。“challenges'”与“bring about”是被动关系，此处用过去分词作后置定语，故填brought。 58.measures考查名词。“a series of+-可数名词复数”表示“一系列…”，所以用measures。 59.planting考查非谓语动词。the+名词+of,plant的动名词形式是planting,意为“种植”。 60.which考查定语从句。这是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是The“Green Great Wall'”project,在从句中作主语， 所以用which引导。 61.but考查连词。“not only..but also.”是固定搭配，意为“不但…而且…”。 62.its考查代词。修饰名词“environmental regulations(法规)”，用形容词性物主代词its,表示“它的”。 63.to meet考查非谓语动词。固定用法fail to do sth表示“不能做某事”。 64.significantly考查副词。副词修饰动词has been raised。 65.between考查介词。“a balance between economic growth and environmental protection''经济发展和环境保护之间 的平衡。 书面表达 How to

All in all,we should keep aware of their potential dangers when enjoying the platforms'convenience and benefits. 读后续写 She suggested that they share the story with the whole family.Tom immediately agreed.When everyone was seated around the dinner table,Lily began to tell the touching story from the diary.Everyone listened quietly.As she finished, there was a moment of reflection,and then her grandfather spoke up,sharing his own memories of how the family had always supported each other through difficulties and obstacles.This led to a lively discussion about the importance of family bonds and perseverance.

B The world is full of more than 7,000 living languages.And we have a hard time hanging onto them:About one-fifth are endangered.So I was more than willing to give David J.Peterson more publicity (for what could be explained as his mad pursuit:He spends all day,every day dreaming up languages for TV shows,movies and video games. When Peterson was an undergraduate student at UC Berkeley,he saw a flier ( advertising an Esperanto class.It was the first time he'd heard of such a thing as an invented language,but it wouldn't be the last.After years of learning in the class,Peterson became an inventor of languages.It's a job that's led him to a career in Hollywood.He's created languages in the film Bright and Doctor Strange and more recently,Dune. 第3页（共8页） The languages that made him famous were the ones he created for Game of Thrones, especially Dothraki.In 2009,the show's producers were looking for someone to come up with a language for the Dothraki people.So,Peterson spent the next few weeks putting together about 300 pages of material on Dothraki.He started with the speech sounds and then moved on to grammar,starting with nouns,"because they're simpler".Verbs,then other parts of speech were next,followed by sentence structure and derivation ()Then he built the vocabulary. What Peterson creates is called conlang（人造语言)，which has existed for centuries,but the coming of the Internet created a true community of peers.Most fascinatingly,Peterson theorizes how a larger conlang community could help mankind expand its understanding of the potential for written and spoken communication."Someday in the future we may encounter aliens, and they may have a communication system that doesn't even qualify as a language to us,he says."But the more we've seen,the more we know about,the more we suppose,the better we are going to be able to deal with something like that." 24.What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A.Peterson dropped out of college to pursue a career. B.Peterson was greatly influenced by Esperanto class. C.One-fifth of languages in the world have disappeared. D.Peterson was passionate about researching artistic languages. 25.Which film brought Peterson reputation for creating languages? A.Dune. B.Bright. C.Doctor Strange. D.Game of Thrones. 26.What was the initial step in Peterson's process of creating Dothraki language? A.Establishing words and sentences. B.Developing sentence structure. C.Building basic sound components. D.Analyzing rules of grammar. 27.What does Peterson think of conlang's prospect? A.Promising. B.Unclear. C.Skeptical. D.Worrying C Water is life.It is the source of any possibility for growth and liveliness.That is why water waste is such a big concern in places where water is insufficient.But that's where Direct Potable Reuse,also known as DPR,can help. DPR is a method for taking waste water and turning it into drinking water,according to Wastewater Digest.Though the sound of it may make people feel sick,it has been used with great success and to no ill-effect in Namibia for over fifty years. Namibia is the driest country in sub-Saharan Africa.Its capital,Windhoek,is in the middle of two of the oldest deserts in the world,and is 400 miles away from the nearest river.And yet, over 400 thousand people live in Windhoek,and thanks to a clever method of water reuse,nearly every one of them has access to clean drinking water. Windhoek built its first water-recycling plant in 1968,leading the area to be referred to as the "birthplace of water-recycling".According to Positive News reports,in the recycling plant, the wastewater goes through an multi-barrier process which removes pollutants and bacteria in the water.This is similar to how water is filtered (in nature.The water-recycling plant, however,has an expedited handling procedure.It produces safe drinking water within twenty four hours. Though Namibia has been successfully using DPR for half a century,it has been slower to catch on in other parts of the world.The greatest roadblock so far has been public opinion.Patty Tennyson,the Vice President of Katz and Associates told Positive News,"Technology has never been the reason why these projects don't get built-it's always public or political opposition." The time for overcaution(过分谨慎)has passed though.,As temperatures increase and the 第4页（共8页） world gets thirstier,this safe and efficient water-saving technology can not be ignored.The success of DPR in Namibia has shown that a little creativity can make even the desert produce flowers. 28.Why does the author mention the position of Windhoek in paragraph 3? A.To present the locals'poor situation. B.To show the significance of DPR. C.To describe the scenes of the city. D.To help tourists locate the capital. 29.Which of the following is closet in meaning to the underlined word "expedited"in paragraph 4? A.Safer. B.Similar. C.Faster. D.Premier. 30.What can be inferred about the future of DPR? A.It will be replaced by new technology. B.It will only be used in desert regions. C.It will be more acceptable in the world. D.It will be ignored in developed countries. 31.What is the best title of the text? A.DPR,a method making a different world B.Water shortage,a big concern in the world C.Windhoek,the birthplace of water-recycling D.DPR,a technology making people feel sick D When stressed out,many of us turn to junk food for comfort.But new University of Colorado Boulder research suggests this strategy may have the opposite effect.The study found that in animals,a high-fat diet destroys resident gut (bacteria,changes behavior and,through a complex pathway connecting the gut to the brain,influences brain chemicals in ways that increase anxiety. "Everyone knows that these are not healthy foods,but we tend to think about them only in terms of a little weight gain,said lead author Lowry."If you understand that they also impact your brain in a way that can promote anxiety,that makes the risk even higher.Lowry's team divided adolescent rats into two groups:Half got a standard diet of about 11%fat for nine weeks; the others got a high-fat diet of 45%fat,consisting mostly of saturated (fat from animal products. After nine weeks,the animals underwent behavioral tests.When compared to the former group,the group eating a high-fat diet,not surprisingly,gained weight.But the animals also showed significantly less diversity of gut bacteria.Generally speaking,more bacterial diversity is associated with better health,Lowry explained. The high-fat diet group also showed higher expression of three genes involved in production and signaling of the serotonin(血淸素)，which is associated with stress and anxiety.While serotonin is often billed as a "feel-good brain chemical",Lowry notes that it can lead to anxiety- like responses in animals. "To think that just a high-fat diet could change expression of these genes in the brain is extraordinary,"said Lowry."The high-fat group essentially had a high anxiety state in their brain.” Lowry stresses that not all fats are bad,and that healthy fats like those found in fish,olive oil,nuts and seeds can be good for the brain.His advice is:Eat as many different kinds of fruits and vegetables as possible. 32.What can we learn about the study by Lowry's team? A.All rats ate the same diet. B.Rats were divided into two diet groups. 第5页（共8页） C.Anxiety was tested before and after eating. D.Behavior was observed without dietary change. 33.What is the relationship between gut bacteria diversity and health? A.Less bacteria diversity indicates better health. B.Gut bacteria diversity has no impact on health. C.Gut bacteria diversity mainly depends on health D.Bacteria diversity is positively associated with fitness. 34.What can be known about serotonin? A.It reduces the feeling of pressure. B.It leads to weight gain. C.It's merely affected by healthy fats. D.It can cause anxiety-like reaction. 35.What is the main idea of the text? A.High-fat diet is the main cause of fat. B.Stay healthy and keep from gaining weight. C.Junk food consumption may increase anxiety D.Gut bacteria diversity increases with high-fat diets. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 The Significance of a Healthy Lifestyle As senior high students,we often find ourselves buried under a pile of textbooks and assignments,making it easy to ignore our health.36 A healthy lifestyle significantly contributes to physical fitness.Regular exercise,for example,is a basis of physical well-being.When we engage in jogging,swimming,or cycling,it helps to strengthen our muscles,improve cardiovascular(心血管的)function,and boost our immune (system.37 Additionally,a balanced diet is equally important.Consuming a variety of foods,including plenty of fruits,vegetables,whole grains,lean proteins,and healthy fats,provides our bodies with the necessary nutrients to function best. Mental health also benefits greatly from a healthy lifestyle.Sufficient sleep,which is an essential part of it,allows our brains to rest and recover.When we get enough sleep,we wake up feeling refreshed and ready to face the day.38 39 When individuals are healthy,they are less likely to rely on medical resources,thus reducing the burden on the healthcare system.It is suggested that more available and accessible health consultation services be provided to teach the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle in the general public. In the long run,a healthy lifestyle has far-reaching significance for our quality of life.People who maintain healthy habits are more likely to have a higher energy level throughout their lives. This means they can actively participate in various activities,whether it's spending time with family,pursuing hobbies,or engaging in community work.40 They may experience a decline in their physical and mental capabilities at a relatively young age,limiting their life choices and experiences. A.It also plays a positive role in our social life. B.There are many ways to start living a healthy lifestyle. C.In contrast,those with unhealthy lifestyles may lead an inactive life. D.These physical activities can also help us maintain a healthy weight. E.This can lead to better concentration,improved memory,and enhanced mood. F.What's more,a healthy lifestyle can save a large amount of medical expenses. G.However,a healthy lifestyle is crucial for our well-being and academic performance. 第6页（共8页） 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was the first day of the new year and I was feeling out of shape."This year,I am going to start walking at the mall every morning,"I promised,"no matter 41 happens.'
