Harington’s 53. You can probably find this material ________. A. in a magazine B. in a travel guide C. on a website D. on a noticeboard B These days, many people spend hours looking at their phones. Why? A possible answer is that they just feel bored. Why don’t we like feeling bored? What is boredom? Boredom is a feeling. There are two types of boredom: meaningless and attentional (注意力相关的). The first type happens when we don’t find meaning in our actions. The second type comes when people find it too difficult to focus on something. For example, students might say that “math is boring”. That is because it’s too difficult for them. Is boredom bad? Boredom is neither good nor bad. What matters is our attitude. For example, we may find a math problem boring. If we can’t deal with (处理) our feelings well, we might just give up and feel bad. But things change when we can control (控制) our feelings and try to solve the problem. Boredom can then become a good chance to learn new things. Are we more bored now? No, boredom is not a new thing. Over 2,000 years ago, people already felt bored. However, it’s now much easier to get away from boredom because of things like phones. But because we’re always using them, we might be worse at dealing with boredom. 54. What are the two types of boredom? A. Good and bad. B. Short and long. C. Meaningful and common. D. Meaningless and attentional. 55. Why might students find math boring, according to Paragraph 2? A. They find it too difficult for them. B. They think there is too much work to do. C They might not like their teacher. D. They might not see why they need it. 56. What does the word “attitude” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. A goal. B. A feeling. C. A way of thinking. D. A piece of advice. 57. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. People are getting more bored now than before. B. Boredom can help us to learn new things. C. Mobile phones can make us less bored if we use them correctly. D. We should stop using mobile phones to deal with boredom. C Everyone loves receiving gifts, and across cultures, presents are a way to show care and love. However, traditions are not the same in every country. As a European living in China, I’ve seen some interesting differences. For example, while fruit and milk are common gifts here, in my culture, they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in the hospital. When you get invited to a dinner party, a bottle of fine wine is also a good gift. Still, it’s best to check if your hosts drink alcohol (酒). Many Europeans will typically open their presents right away, except in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag (标签). What if you don’t like your gift? In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person’s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt (收据) inside the gift, which is a very common practice in Spain, you can just exchange it for something else. Re-gifting (礼物转送) is another good idea, as long as the present looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned re-gifting into a nice project, collecting gifts people didn’t want for those in need, CBS News reported. How the present looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper (包装纸) for every present we buy, we produce a lot of waste. Germans value high-quality (高品质的) wrapping paper, but many are now choosing newspaper or maps to help the environment. Do Europeans give money as gifts? Yes. Polish couples, for example, often request cash (现金) at weddings (婚礼) to cover the cost of the venue (场地) and meals. Finally, remember: It’s the thought that counts, not the size or the cost of the gift. 58. What might be a good gift to take to someone in the hospital in the author’s culture? A. Books. B. Fruit. C. Some cash. D. A bottle of fine wine. 59. Why do some Spanish people leave the receipt inside presents? A. To show the price of the gift. B. To make it easier to re-gift the item. C. To show respect to the receiver. D. To allow the receiver to exchange the gift. 60. How can people deal with the gift they don’t like, according to Paragraph 6? A. They can sell it. B. They can return it to the giver. C. They can give it to someone else. D. They can take it back to the store. 61. What is the passage mainly about? A. The gift-giving culture in different countries. B. Recent changes in gift-giving in Europe. C. Why we should re-gift unwanted presents. D. How people in Spain give and receive gifts. D There are 706 billion LEGO bricks (积木) on the earth, 7 LEGO sets are sold every second, and more than 400 million people have played with LEGO bricks. LEGO has already been a successful company in the world. Actually, there are many ups and downs along with its development. Start from woods The LEGO company was set up in 1934. The name comes from the Swedish “leg godt”, meaning “to play well”. Ole Kirk Kristiansen, the founder (创立者) of LEGO, was a master carpenter (木匠大师), so it’s not surprising that the first LEGO toys were made of wood. They were simple, such as wooden ducks. In 1942, the factory that made wooden LEGO toys was burned to the ground (被烧成灰烬), which made Ole realize the disadvantages of working with wood. Success—brick by brick Soon Ole found out that plastic is a good material to make toys. LEGO started making self-locking bricks in 1949. But it wasn't until 1958, when the locking design was much improved, that sales began to rise. Because of its quality and the endless creativity that it lets children have, LEGO achieved a huge success. Overcome difficulties In 2000, children began to spend more time playing video games. By 2003, LEGO’s sales were down by 30%, and LEGO nearly went broke. The turning point appeared in 2004 when LEGO focused again on its bricks. And it also worked with films and television, like Star Wars. The Internet was used to build a LEGO group where fans show their love for LEGO collections. In 2015, it again became a name known to the world. 62. What can we learn from the numbers in Paragraph 1? A. LEGO has a long history. B. LEGO has achieved a huge success. C. LEGO is the best company. D. LEGO is going to have a bright future. 63. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Lego bricks. B. Plastic toys. C. Wooden ducks. D. The first LEGO toys. 64. Which of the pictures shows the right development of the LEGO company? A. B. C. D. 65. What’s probably the best title of the text? A. LEGO: from small to big B. LEGO: toys and joys C. LEGO: from wooden to plastic D. LEGO: ups and downs 五、词汇运用（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，计 10 分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。 （每空一词） 66.

There are some incidents (事件) that I remembered clearly. Every morning Glumdalclitch carried my box to the window. One day she carried me to the window as usual, and then she left me there. Some huge wasps came in through the window, and entered the box. They were the size of birds in England, and they were very fierce (凶猛的). I was afraid of them. I took out my sword and fought them. I killed four of them. Luckily, the others flew away. Another dangerous moment that I remembered was this: Glumdalclitch left me in the garden one day, and the weather was very bad. First it rained, and then it hailed (下冰雹) very hard. The hailstones were the size of tennis balls, and they hurt me badly. I tried to hide under a tree, but I was still hit by some of them. Another danger came from an idea that the Queen had. She knew that I liked boats, and she ordered one of her servants to make a little boat for me. The servant put the boat into a tank of water on the table. I spent many hours in this boat. One day, however, a frog jumped out of the water into the boat. I thought the boat would sink, and I was afraid. I was lucky, and I managed to push the frog out of the boat. —Taken from Gulliver’s Travels 76.

Have you decided ________ first? —Yes. Gulliver’s Travels. A. how to read B. which to read C. when to read D. where to read 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们班主任推荐了很多书。你决定先读哪本了吗？——是的，《格列佛游记》。 考查疑问词+不定式结构。how to read如何读；which to read读哪本；when to read何时读；where to read在哪里读。根据“recommended lots of books”和答语“Gulliver’s Travels”可知，是问读哪本，用which to read。故选B。 23.

A. needn’t B. may not C. couldn’t D. mustn’t 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：句根据交通规则，十六岁以下的儿童禁止在道路上骑电动车，太危险了。 考查情态动词。needn’t不必；may not可能不；couldn’t不会；mustn’t禁止。根据“According to the traffic rules, children under 16 ... ride E-bikes on the road.”可知，属于交通法规规定的内容，所以此处应是“16岁以下的儿童禁止骑电动车”。故选D。 24. —Daddy, when can I watch the programme? It began an hour ago!   —________ A. Until you finish your homework. B. Until you will finish your homework. C. Not until you finish your homework. D. Not until you will finish your homework. 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——爸爸，我什么时候能看这个节目？它一小时前就开始了！——直到你完成作业（才能看）。 考查时间状语从句。Until you finish your homework.直到你完成作业，不用于回答许可问题；Until you will finish your homework.语法错误，until引导的时间状语从句用一般现在时表将来；Not until you finish your homework.直到你完成作业，符合“not until”句型；Not until you will finish your homework.语法错误，until引导的时间状语从句用一般现在时表将来。根据“Daddy, when can I watch the programme?”询问何时能看节目可知，not until表示“直到……才”，符合语境，且时间状语从句用一般现在时。故选C。 25.

Moreover 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：你没拿到一等奖真是太可惜了！不管怎样，咱们忘了这件事，继续前进吧。 考查副词辨析。Though虽然；尽管；However然而；可是；Anyway不管怎样；无论如何；Moreover此外；而且。根据“What a pity that you didn’t get the first prize!”和“forget about it and move on.”可知，前句表达“没获奖的遗憾”，后句建议“忘记此事、继续前进”，两者之间是让步后的转折建议，即“不管怎样，无论如何”。故选C。 26. — I never thought she would ________ my invitation to the theater. — She will feel sorry for missing the show some day. A. return B. review C. refuse D. recommend 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我从未想过她会拒绝我去看戏的邀请。——总有一天她会为错过这场演出而感到遗憾的。  考查动词辨析。return返回、归还；review复习、回顾；refuse拒绝；recommend推荐。根据答语“She will feel sorry for missing the show”可知，她会为错过演出而遗憾，说明她没有接受邀请，即“拒绝”了邀请。故选C。 27.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果你去澳大利亚，千万别忘记参观悉尼歌剧院。 考查地点名词辨析。Tower Bridge伦敦塔桥，位于英国；The Sydney Opera House悉尼歌剧院，位于澳大利亚；The Golden Gate Bridge金门大桥，位于美国；The Leaning Tower of Pisa比萨斜塔，位于意大利。根据“go to Australia”可知，此处应选择澳大利亚的标志性建筑，故选B。 28. —Who’s the girl over there? Is she your elder sister? —No, it can’t be her. She ________ Beijing for a school trip. A. has gone B. has been to C. has been in D. has gone to 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——那边的女孩是谁？她是你的姐姐吗？——不，不可能是她。她去北京参加学校旅行了。 考查现在完成时。has gone表达不完整；has been to去过，已返回；has been in在，某地；has gone to去了，未返回。根据“No, it can’t be her.”可知，姐姐不在现场，是去了北京还没回来，has gone to符合语境。故选D。 29. —I am sorry to tell you that you can only borrow one book ________ if you have no library card. —It doesn’t matter. One is just enough for me. A. on time B. for the first time C. from time to time D. at a time 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我很抱歉地告诉你，如果你没有借书证，你每次只能借一本书。——没关系。一本对我来说就够了。 考查介词短语。on time准时；for the first time第一次；from time to time有时；at a time每次。根据“One is just enough for me.”可知，此处表示每次借一本。故选D。 30.

A. including B. besides C. except D. without 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：除了钢琴，我会演奏所有的乐器。它对我来说有点难，我还在学。 考查介词辨析。including包括；besides除……之外（还有）；except除……之外（不包括）；without没有。根据“It’s a little difficult for me and I’m still learning it.”可知，钢琴对我来说有点难，我还在学，所以此处指除了钢琴，我会演奏所有的乐器，即钢琴不包括在内，用except。故选C。 31. When the lion saw a zebra from far away, it got near it quietly and then ran towards it ________. A. in a high speed B. in high speed C. at a high speed D. at high speed 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：当狮子从远处看到一只斑马时，它悄悄地靠近，然后高速向它跑去。 考查介词短语。in a high speed无此搭配；in high speed无此搭配；at a high speed高速，强调具体的速度；at high speed高速，强调状态。根据“ran towards it”可知，这里需要一个表示“高速地”的短语，at high speed符合语境，描述狮子奔跑的状态。故选D。 32. Although my brother is often ________, he seldom feels ________ because he likes to be by himself. A. lonely; alone B. alone; lonely C. alone; alone D. lonely; lonely 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：虽然我哥哥经常独自一人，但他很少感到孤独，因为他喜欢独处。 考查形容词辨析。alone既可用作形容词，又可用作副词，意为“独自的（地）、单独的（地）”；lonely只用作形容词，表示“孤独的，寂寞的”。第一个空表示经常“独自的”，用alone；第二个空表示感到“孤独的”，用lonely。故选B。 33. —Have you finished the novel? —________. I’m still working on it. A. Yes, already B. Not yet C. Yes, ever D. No, never 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你看完这本小说了吗？——还没有。我还在努力读。 考查副词辨析。already已经；yet仍然，还；ever曾经；never从不。根据“I’m still working on it.”可知，我还在读，说明还未读完；Not yet“还没有”，符合语境。故选B。 34. Our world is full of amazing things. For example, Australian seasons are ________ of ________. A. opposite; us B. opposite; ours C. the opposite; us D. the opposite; ours 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们的世界充满了奇妙的事物。例如，澳大利亚的季节与我们的（季节）相反。  考查介词短语和代词辨析。ours我们的（东西），名词性物主代词；us我们，人称代词宾格。第一空：“be the opposite of”是固定搭配，意为“与……相反”，因此第一空需用“the opposite”；第二空：空格后无名词，需用名词性物主代词指代“我们的季节”，“ours”是名词性物主代词，相当于“our seasons”，故选D。 35. —Excuse me, do you mind my sitting here for a while? I’m too tired to walk any further. —________. The old lady sitting here has just left. A. Yes, please B. Never mind C. I hope so D. Certainly not 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——对不起，你介意我在这儿坐一会儿吗？我太累了，走不动了。 ——当然不。坐在这里的那位老太太刚走。 考查情景交际。Yes, please是的，请；Never mind没关系；I hope so我希望如此；Certainly not当然不。根据“The old lady sitting here has just left.”可知，答话人不介意问话人坐在这里。故选D。 三、完形填空（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分,计 15 分） 阅读下列短文,从文后各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 A boy guarded (看守) the barrels (木桶) in his father’s winery (葡萄酒厂).

Why? A possible answer is that they just feel bored. Why don’t we like feeling bored? What is boredom? Boredom is a feeling. There are two types of boredom: meaningless and attentional (注意力相关的). The first type happens when we don’t find meaning in our actions. The second type comes when people find it too difficult to focus on something. For example, students might say that “math is boring”. That is because it’s too difficult for them. Is boredom bad? Boredom is neither good nor bad. What matters is our attitude. For example, we may find a math problem boring. If we can’t deal with (处理) our feelings well, we might just give up and feel bad. But things change when we can control (控制) our feelings and try to solve the problem. Boredom can then become a good chance to learn new things. Are we more bored now? No, boredom is not a new thing. Over 2,000 years ago, people already felt bored. However, it’s now much easier to get away from boredom because of things like phones. But because we’re always using them, we might be worse at dealing with boredom. 54. What are the two types of boredom? A. Good and bad. B. Short and long. C. Meaningful and common. D. Meaningless and attentional. 55. Why might students find math boring, according to Paragraph 2? A. They find it too difficult for them. B. They think there is too much work to do. C. They might not like their teacher. D. They might not see why they need it. 56. What does the word “attitude” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. A goal. B. A feeling. C. A way of thinking. D. A piece of advice. 57. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. People are getting more bored now than before. B. Boredom can help us to learn new things. C. Mobile phones can make us less bored if we use them correctly. D. We should stop using mobile phones to deal with boredom. 【答案】54. D 55. A 56. C 57.

That is because it’s too difficult for them.”可知，因为觉得数学很难。故选A。 【56题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“What matters is our attitude. For example ... If we can’t deal with (处理) our feelings well ... But things change when we can control (控制) our feelings ...”可知，本段讲述的是一种思维方式，比如处理自己的情绪等。故选C。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据“it’s now much easier to get away from boredom because of things like phones. But because we’re always using them, we might be worse at dealing with boredom.”可知，合理用手机可减少无聊，但过度用会更难应对，即正确用手机能让我们不那么无聊。C选项“如果我们正确使用手机，它可以让我们不那么无聊。”符合题意。故选C。 C Everyone loves receiving gifts, and across cultures, presents are a way to show care and love. However, traditions are not the same in every country. As a European living in China, I’ve seen some interesting differences. For example, while fruit and milk are common gifts here, in my culture, they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in the hospital. When you get invited to a dinner party, a bottle of fine wine is also a good gift. Still, it’s best to check if your hosts drink alcohol (酒). Many Europeans will typically open their presents right away, except in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag (标签). What if you don’t like your gift? In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person’s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt (收据) inside the gift, which is a very common practice in Spain, you can just exchange it for something else. Re-gifting (礼物转送) is another good idea, as long as the present looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned re-gifting into a nice project, collecting gifts people didn’t want for those in need, CBS News reported. How the present looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper (包装纸) for every present we buy, we produce a lot of waste. Germans value high-quality (高品质的) wrapping paper, but many are now choosing newspaper or maps to help the environment. Do Europeans give money as gifts? Yes. Polish couples, for example, often request cash (现金) at weddings (婚礼) to cover the cost of the venue (场地) and meals. Finally, remember: It’s the thought that counts, not the size or the cost of the gift. 58. What might be a good gift to take to someone in the hospital in the author’s culture? A. Books. B. Fruit. C. Some cash. D. A bottle of fine wine. 59. Why do some Spanish people leave the receipt inside presents? A. To show the price of the gift. B. To make it easier to re-gift the item. C. To show respect to the receiver. D. To allow the receiver to exchange the gift. 60. How can people deal with the gift they don’t like, according to Paragraph 6? A. They can sell it. B. They can return it to the giver. C. They can give it to someone else. D. They can take it back to the store. 61. What is the passage mainly about? A. The gift-giving culture in different countries. B. Recent changes in gift-giving in Europe. C. Why we should re-gift unwanted presents. D. How people in Spain give and receive gifts. 【答案】58. B 59. D 60. C 61.

LEGO has already been a successful company in the world. Actually, there are many ups and downs along with its development. Start from woods The LEGO company was set up in 1934. The name comes from the Swedish “leg godt”, meaning “to play well”. Ole Kirk Kristiansen, the founder (创立者) of LEGO, was a master carpenter (木匠大师), so it’s not surprising that the first LEGO toys were made of wood. They were simple, such as wooden ducks. In 1942, the factory that made wooden LEGO toys was burned to the ground (被烧成灰烬), which made Ole realize the disadvantages of working with wood. Success—brick by brick Soon Ole found out that plastic is a good material to make toys. LEGO started making self-locking bricks in 1949. But it wasn't until 1958, when the locking design was much improved, that sales began to rise. Because of its quality and the endless creativity that it lets children have, LEGO achieved a huge success. Overcome difficulties In 2000, children began to spend more time playing video games. By 2003, LEGO’s sales were down by 30%, and LEGO nearly went broke. The turning point appeared in 2004 when LEGO focused again on its bricks. And it also worked with films and television, like Star Wars. The Internet was used to build a LEGO group where fans show their love for LEGO collections. In 2015, it again became a name known to the world. 62. What can we learn from the numbers in Paragraph 1? A. LEGO has a long history. B. LEGO has achieved a huge success. C. LEGO is the best company. D. LEGO is going to have a bright future. 63. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Lego bricks. B. Plastic toys. C. Wooden ducks. D. The first LEGO toys. 64. Which of the pictures shows the right development of the LEGO company? A. B. C. D. 65. What’s probably the best title of the text? A. LEGO: from small to big B. LEGO: toys and joys C. LEGO: from wooden to plastic D. LEGO: ups and downs 【答案】62. B 63. D 64. C 65. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍乐高公司的发展历程。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据“706 billion LEGO bricks (积木) on the earth, 7 LEGO sets are sold every second, and more than 400 million people have played with LEGO bricks. LEGO has already been a successful company in the world.”可知，体现乐高很成功。故选B。 【63题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“the first LEGO toys were made of wood. They were simple, such as wooden ducks.”可知，此句表示第一个乐高玩具是用木头制成的。它们很简单，比如木鸭。they指代初期的乐高玩具。故选D。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。通读原文可知，1934年创立（起步）→1942年工厂被焚（低谷）→1958年改进设计后销量升（高峰）→2000-2003年销量降（低谷）→2004年转型后回升（高峰）。符合此曲线的是C图。故选C。 【65题详解】 最佳标题题。通读原文可知，全文讲乐高发展的起伏。故选D。 五、词汇运用（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，计 10 分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。 （每空一词） 66.

But…it comes to comics, it is different.”可知，前后是转折关系，前文说读小说时的情况，此处说读漫画时的情况，when it comes to…“当谈到……”符合语境。故填(w)hen。 【87题详解】 句意：孩子们可以根据图片很容易地做到这一点。根据“Children can…manage to do that according to (根据) the pictures.”及首字母可知，孩子们可以根据图片很容易理解，easily“容易地”符合语境，副词修饰动词。故填(e)asily。 【88题详解】 句意：更重要的是，即使是小学的孩子在阅读漫画时也能理解情节，因为图片在某些方面可以帮助他们。根据“even kids at…school can understand the plot (情节) when they read comics”及首字母可知，此处指小学的孩子，primary school“小学”。故填(p)rimary。 【89题详解】 句意：作为家长，你不应该阻止孩子读漫画书，而是应该为他们挑选一些好的。根据“As a parent, you shouldn't just stop your kids reading comic books, picking some good ones for them is a good choice…”可知，前后是转折关系，此处表示“而是”，instead“代替，反而”符合语境。故填(i)nstead。 【90题详解】 句意：当你帮助他们养成良好的阅读习惯时，你就为他们铺就了一条在课堂和生活中取得成功的道路。根据“When you help them develop a good habit of reading, you put them on a path to…both in the classroom and in life.”及首字母可知，此处指取得成功，success“成功”符合语境，to是介词，后加名词。故填(s)uccess。 八、书面表达（计 30 分） A. 根据中文意思，完成下列句子，词数不限。（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，计 10 分） 91. 我习惯于和朋友们保持联系。(汉译英) _______________________________________________ 【答案】I am used to keeping in touch with friends. 【解析】 【详解】“我” I；“习惯于” be used to；“和朋友们” with friends；“保持联系” keep in touch with ，又因为be used to中to是介词，后面接动词时要用动词的ing形式，所以keep变为keeping；本句结合语境用“主语+be used to doing sth.”表示“某人习惯于做某事”。故填I am used to keeping in touch with friends. 92. 他们过去经常搭乘直达航班前往德国。（汉译英） _______________________________________________ 【答案】They used to take a direct flight to Germany. 【解析】 【详解】他们：they，主语，位于句首，首字母大写；搭乘直达航班前往德国：take a direct flight to Germany。表示“过去经常做某事”用“used to do sth”。故填They used to take a direct flight to Germany. 93. 这位作家已经在上海出差两个多月了。（汉译英） _______________________________________________ 【答案】This writer has been in Shanghai on business for over/more than two months. 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语提示可知，句子强调动作从过去持续到现在，用现在完成时（have/has+过去分词）。“这位作家”是“This writer”，作主语，为第三人称单数，助动词用“has”；“出差”常用短语“be on a business trip”，“be”的过去分词是“been”；“在上海”是“in Shanghai”；“两个多月了”是“for over/more than two months”，表示一段时间，与现在完成时连用。故填This writer has been in Shanghai on business for over/more than two months. 94. 当我们设法成功爬到山顶时，我们都筋疲力竭了。（汉译英） _______________________________________________ 【答案】We were all tired out when we managed to climb to the top of the mountain. 【解析】 【详解】我们：we；都：all；筋疲力尽：be tired out；设法成功做某事：manage to do sth.；爬到山顶：climb to the top of the mountain。结合语境可知，此题为一般过去时，“筋疲力尽”这一状态是在“设法成功爬到山顶”之后发生的，因此用when引导时间状语从句，主句和从句均用一般过去时，主语we是复数，be动词用were，manage的过去式为managed。故填We were all tired out when we managed to climb to the top of the mountain. 95. 从某些方面来说，形势在过去的数年间得到了改善。(汉译英) _______________________________________________ 【答案】In some ways, the situation has been improved in the past few years. 【解析】 【详解】“从某些方面来说”in some ways; “形势”situation; “改善”improve; “在过去的数年间”in the past few years。本句结合语境用现在完成时的被动语态“has/have been + 过去分词”来表示“在过去的数年间已经得到了改善”，主语“the situation”是第三人称单数，所以用“has been improved”。故填In some ways, the situation has been improved in the past few years.
