Four Beautiful Beaches In Singapore
In Singapore, there are a range of special beaches where you can relax for a day. At these popular beaches, you’ll feel as if you’re in paradise (天堂) — like Bali. Here are four of the best beaches there.
Tanjong Beach
The white-sandy beach is man-made and it’s the perfect place to relax in the sun, read a book away from the crowds, or go for a swim in the ocean. Especially, the Tanjong Beach Club is a top nightlife spot for drinking cocktails (鸡尾酒) and enjoying water sports like surfing.
St. John’s Island Beach
You can enjoy a quiet beach on St. John’s Island. This pretty place has a beach that’s great for sunbathing, swimming in clear water, and having picnics away from the city. Visitors can also spot unique marine life (海洋生物), go fishing, and even rent cabins or bungalows to stay on the island. Make sure to bring everything you need — there are no shops on the island.
Coney Island
Coney Island beach is the perfect place to relax away from the crowds. This hidden destination offers a couple of sandy spots to relax — whether you’re walking or cycling around Coney Island. It is definitely one of the best beaches to visit alone for a therapeutic (治愈的) experience.
Pulau Hantu
This island has a quiet beach far from busy tourist spots. The island consists of two small islands that join at low tide. There’s soft white sand and clear blue-green water here, teeming with (充满) colorful corals and marine life. People often camp overnight on the island, as it is only accessible by boat.

A. They are famous for the nightlife. B. They provide a quiet atmosphere.

Yesterday, my 6-year-old son taught me a valuable lesson that stayed with me for hours. It might sound surprising, but he taught me a powerful lesson.
A few weeks ago, I had to travel for work, and I couldn’t spend much time with my son. Even though he is a bit stubborn (固执的), he’s growing up fast. That’s when the lesson happened. While I was eating dinner, he was in the bath, and suddenly he started crying. I asked him what happened, and he said, “Shampoo (洗发水) got in my eyes.”
I got really worried and rushed into the bathroom. I tried to help by splashing (泼) water on his eyes, but things got worse when he rubbed his eyes with his soapy hands. I was nervous, telling him not to use his hands.
Out of the blue, he said, “Calm down! Dad.” It amazed me. I realized I was making things worse. I stopped splashing water, washed his hands, and calmly told him to use his hands to clean his eyes while blinking (眨眼). It worked, and he felt better.
I’m not sure where he learned to stay calm, maybe from me or somewhere else. But the bigger lesson is that when we face problems, acting emotionally and quickly might not be best. Staying calm and thinking about the right solution is better.
In today’s tough job market with many people losing their jobs, it’s easy to feel worried. My son’s lesson reminded me that staying calm and taking a moment to relax can help us face challenges with a clear mind, more energy, and better solutions.
24. What happened to the author’s son yesterday?
A. He argued with his dad. B. He fell in the bathroom.
C. He got angry due to the meal. D. He felt something in his eyes.
25. Why did the author worsen the situation at first?
A. He missed an important step. B. He told his son to keep quiet.
C. His hands were covered with soap. D. His son disagreed with his advice.
26. How can we solve problems according to the author?
A. By putting forward many ideas. B. By getting our thoughts straight.
C. By turning to friends for assistance. D. By finding out causes behind them.
27. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Knowledge is power. B. Still waters run deep.
C. Parenting is learning. D. Actions speak louder.
C
Many people think that because freezing (冰冻) and then unfreezing food will break down vitamins (维生素), frozen vegetables and fruits must be less nutritious than fresh ones.
When fruits and vegetables are picked from plants, they still do things like “breathing”, and over time, their vitamins start to break down. That’s just how nature works. Before fruits and vegetables get to supermarkets or local markets, they have to be carried, stored, and then finally brought to people’s homes. This whole trip often takes a long time, and during this period, their vitamins slowly disappear.
But for frozen fruits and vegetables, right after they’re picked, they will be quickly frozen at -8℃.At this temperature, the “breathing” almost stops, and tiny living things can’t grow. Freezing helps keep vitamins in fruits and vegetables safe — it doesn’t hurt them, and it might even help.
Experts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture looked at common things in fruits and vegetables, such as vitamin C, B vitamins, polyphenols, and carotenoids. They checked products sold in markets and found that while frozen and fresh vegetables might have small differences in some things, overall, they’re not that different. In fact, sometimes frozen fruits and vegetables keep more of these vitamins than fresh ones do. Scientists from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK studied 37 kinds of food and found that both frozen green beans and fresh green beans have high levels of beta carotene after being cooked.
For these reasons, international health groups say that both frozen fruits and vegetables and fresh ones are acceptable. The old idea that “frozen fruits and vegetables are low quality” is no longer true.
28. What does the underlined word “nutritious” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Popular. B. Healthy. C. Beautiful. D. Delicious.
29. What do we know about picked fruits and vegetables?
A. They begin to protect peels. B. They stop breathing quickly.
C. Temperatures affect their vitamins. D. Sellers care about their appearance.
30. What do experts and scientists find about frozen produce?
A. They lose vitamins once cooked. B. They are more helpful to humans.
C. They have more types of vitamins. D. They are delicious for a short time.
31. What is the suitable title for the text?
A. Frozen vs. Fresh: Similar Quality? B. Frozen Food: Less Safe Than Fresh?
C. Storing Vegetables: Tips for Freezing. D. Markets: Selling More Frozen Foods.
D
Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.
In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st or January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal clothes, and they may drink champagne(香槟)at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise.
Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh(重新).
Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.
Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year's Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the new year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!
32. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. Several different New Year traditions
B. The meaning of "Happy New Year!"
C. What to eat on New Year's Day
D. Why people dress up nicely on New Year's Day
33. What do you know from the first two paragraphs?
A. Different cultures celebrate the beginning and ending of a year in the same way.
B. The Western people celebrate the New Year only by watching the sunrise.
C. People around the world celebrate the New Year at different times.
D. People hold parties, wear new clothes and drink champagne for a whole day.
34. In some cultures, why do people throw things into rivers or oceans?
A. To bring good luck.
B. To forget everything.
C. To avoid bad luck.
D. To plan for the next year.
35. Which of following is CORRECT if people want to escape bad luck and wish for good luck?
A Families make big dolls filled with old clothes
B. Friends tell something special to each other
C. Some people get up early to watch the sunrise
D. Europeans eat 365 grapes on New Year's Day

Four Beautiful Beaches In Singapore
In Singapore, there are a range of special beaches where you can relax for a day. At these popular beaches, you’ll feel as if you’re in paradise (天堂) — like Bali. Here are four of the best beaches there.
Tanjong Beach
The white-sandy beach is man-made and it’s the perfect place to relax in the sun, read a book away from the crowds, or go for a swim in the ocean. Especially, the Tanjong Beach Club is a top nightlife spot for drinking cocktails (鸡尾酒) and enjoying water sports like surfing.
St. John’s Island Beach
You can enjoy a quiet beach on St. John’s Island. This pretty place has a beach that’s great for sunbathing, swimming in clear water, and having picnics away from the city. Visitors can also spot unique marine life (海洋生物), go fishing, and even rent cabins or bungalows to stay on the island. Make sure to bring everything you need — there are no shops on the island.
Coney Island
Coney Island beach is the perfect place to relax away from the crowds. This hidden destination offers a couple of sandy spots to relax — whether you’re walking or cycling around Coney Island. It is definitely one of the best beaches to visit alone for a therapeutic (治愈的) experience.
Pulau Hantu
This island has a quiet beach far from busy tourist spots. The island consists of two small islands that join at low tide. There’s soft white sand and clear blue-green water here, teeming with (充满) colorful corals and marine life. People often camp overnight on the island, as it is only accessible by boat.

【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据Pulau Hantu部分中“People often camp overnight on the island, as it is only accessible by boat. (人们经常在岛上露营过夜,因为只有乘船才能到达。)”可知,Pulau Hantu只能乘船到达,且人们经常在岛上露营过夜,所以一天之内很难返回。故选D项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Tanjong Beach部分中“The white-sandy beach is man-made and it’s the perfect place to relax in the sun, read a book away from the crowds, or go for a swim in the ocean. (白色的沙滩是人造的,是晒太阳、远离人群看书或在海里游泳的绝佳场所。)”;St. John’s Island Beach部分中“You can enjoy a quiet beach on St. John’s Island. (你可以在圣约翰岛享受宁静的海滩。)”;Coney Island部分中“Coney Island beach is the perfect place to relax away from the crowds. (科尼岛海滩是远离人群放松的绝佳场所。)”和Pulau Hantu部分中“This island has a quiet beach far from busy tourist spots. (这个岛有一个安静的海滩,远离热闹的旅游景点。)”可知,这四个海滩的共同之处是它们都提供了一个安静的氛围。故选B项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Enjoyed this? Check out The Best Island Getaways In and Around Singapore. (喜欢这个吗?看看新加坡及其周边最好的岛屿度假胜地。)”可知,文章最后提供了一个超链接,所以文章很可能来自一个网站。故选C项。

Yesterday, my 6-year-old son taught me a valuable lesson that stayed with me for hours. It might sound surprising, but he taught me a powerful lesson.
A few weeks ago, I had to travel for work, and I couldn’t spend much time with my son. Even though he is a bit stubborn (固执的), he’s growing up fast. That’s when the lesson happened. While I was eating dinner, he was in the bath, and suddenly he started crying. I asked him what happened, and he said, “Shampoo (洗发水) got in my eyes.”
I got really worried and rushed into the bathroom. I tried to help by splashing (泼) water on his eyes, but things got worse when he rubbed his eyes with his soapy hands. I was nervous, telling him not to use his hands.
Out of the blue, he said, “Calm down! Dad.” It amazed me. I realized I was making things worse. I stopped splashing water, washed his hands, and calmly told him to use his hands to clean his eyes while blinking (眨眼). It worked, and he felt better.
I’m not sure where he learned to stay calm, maybe from me or somewhere else. But the bigger lesson is that when we face problems, acting emotionally and quickly might not be best. Staying calm and thinking about the right solution is better.
In today’s tough job market with many people losing their jobs, it’s easy to feel worried. My son’s lesson reminded me that staying calm and taking a moment to relax can help us face challenges with a clear mind, more energy, and better solutions.
24. What happened to the author’s son yesterday?
A. He argued with his dad. B. He fell in the bathroom.
C. He got angry due to the meal. D. He felt something in his eyes.
25. Why did the author worsen the situation at first?
A. He missed an important step. B. He told his son to keep quiet.
C. His hands were covered with soap. D. His son disagreed with his advice.
26. How can we solve problems according to the author?
A. By putting forward many ideas. B. By getting our thoughts straight.
C. By turning to friends for assistance. D. By finding out causes behind them.
27. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Knowledge is power. B. Still waters run deep.
C. Parenting is learning. D. Actions speak louder.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者儿子在洗澡时洗发水进入眼睛,作者起初处理不当,后来儿子让作者冷静下来,作者采取正确方法解决了问题,进而引发作者对于面对问题应保持冷静的思考。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“While I was eating dinner, he was in the bath, and suddenly he started crying. I asked him what happened, and he said, “Shampoo (洗发水) got in my eyes.” (当我吃晚饭时,他正在洗澡,突然他开始哭了起来。我问他怎么了,他说:“洗发水进了我的眼睛。”)”可知,作者的儿子昨天感觉眼睛里有东西。故选D项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“I got really worried and rushed into the bathroom. I tried to help by splashing (泼) water on his eyes, but things got worse when he rubbed his eyes with his soapy hands. I was nervous, telling him not to use his hands. (我真的很担心,冲进浴室。我试着往他眼睛里泼水来帮忙,但当他用沾满肥皂的手揉眼睛时,情况变得更糟了。我很紧张,告诉他不要用手。)”和第四段中“Out of the blue, he said, “Calm down! Dad.” It amazed me. I realized I was making things worse. I stopped splashing water, washed his hands, and calmly told him to use his hands to clean his eyes while blinking (眨眼). (突然,他说:“冷静点!爸爸。”这让我很惊讶。我意识到我把事情弄得更糟了。我停止泼水,洗了他的手,平静地告诉他一边眨眼一边用手清洁眼睛。)”可推知,作者一开始让情况变得更糟是因为他错过了一个重要步骤,即应该先洗干净儿子的手,再让他用手清洁眼睛。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“My son’s lesson reminded me that staying calm and taking a moment to relax can help us face challenges with a clear mind, more energy, and better solutions. (我儿子的教训提醒我,保持冷静,花点时间放松一下,可以帮助我们以清晰的思维、更多的精力和更好的解决方案来面对挑战。)”可推知,作者认为我们可以保持冷静,通过理清思路来解决问题。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Yesterday, my 6-year-old son taught me a valuable lesson that stayed with me for hours. (昨天,我6岁的儿子给我上了宝贵的一课,让我好几个小时都难以忘怀。)”和最后一段中“My son’s lesson reminded me that staying calm and taking a moment to relax can help us face challenges with a clear mind, more energy, and better solutions. (我儿子的教训提醒我,保持冷静,花点时间放松一下,可以帮助我们以清晰的思维、更多的精力和更好的解决方案来面对挑战。)”可推知,作者在解决洗发水进入儿子眼睛这一问题的过程中学到了面对问题要冷静思考,这体现了育儿也是学习的过程。故选C项。
C
Many people think that because freezing (冰冻) and then unfreezing food will break down vitamins (维生素), frozen vegetables and fruits must be less nutritious than fresh ones.
When fruits and vegetables are picked from plants, they still do things like “breathing”, and over time, their vitamins start to break down. That’s just how nature works. Before fruits and vegetables get to supermarkets or local markets, they have to be carried, stored, and then finally brought to people’s homes. This whole trip often takes a long time, and during this period, their vitamins slowly disappear.
But for frozen fruits and vegetables, right after they’re picked, they will be quickly frozen at -8℃.At this temperature, the “breathing” almost stops, and tiny living things can’t grow. Freezing helps keep vitamins in fruits and vegetables safe — it doesn’t hurt them, and it might even help.
Experts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture looked at common things in fruits and vegetables, such as vitamin C, B vitamins, polyphenols, and carotenoids. They checked products sold in markets and found that while frozen and fresh vegetables might have small differences in some things, overall, they’re not that different. In fact, sometimes frozen fruits and vegetables keep more of these vitamins than fresh ones do. Scientists from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK studied 37 kinds of food and found that both frozen green beans and fresh green beans have high levels of beta carotene after being cooked.
For these reasons, international health groups say that both frozen fruits and vegetables and fresh ones are acceptable. The old idea that “frozen fruits and vegetables are low quality” is no longer true.
28. What does the underlined word “nutritious” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Popular. B. Healthy. C. Beautiful. D. Delicious.
29. What do we know about picked fruits and vegetables?
A. They begin to protect peels. B. They stop breathing quickly.
C. Temperatures affect their vitamins. D. Sellers care about their appearance.
30. What do experts and scientists find about frozen produce?
A. They lose vitamins once cooked. B. They are more helpful to humans.
C. They have more types of vitamins. D. They are delicious for a short time.
31. What is the suitable title for the text?
A. Frozen vs. Fresh: Similar Quality? B. Frozen Food: Less Safe Than Fresh?
C. Storing Vegetables: Tips for Freezing. D. Markets: Selling More Frozen Foods.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过对比冷冻与新鲜果蔬的维生素保留情况及引用专家研究,说明冷冻果蔬与新鲜果蔬在营养价值上差异不大,反驳了“冷冻果蔬质量更低”的观点。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第一段“Many people think that because freezing (冰冻) and then unfreezing food will break down vitamins (维生素), frozen vegetables and fruits must be less nutritious than fresh ones. (许多人认为,因为冷冻然后解冻食物会破坏维生素,所以冷冻蔬菜和水果一定比新鲜的蔬菜和水果营养少。)”可知,人们认为冷冻会破坏维生素,所以觉得冷冻蔬果不如新鲜蔬果有营养,即健康,故nutritious意思是“有营养的 / 营养丰富的”,即是健康的。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“But for frozen fruits and vegetables, right after they’re picked, they will be quickly frozen at -18℃.At this temperature, the “breathing” almost stops, and tiny living things can’t grow. Freezing helps keep vitamins in fruits and vegetables safe — it doesn’t hurt them, and it might even help. (但是对于冷冻水果和蔬菜来说,在采摘后,它们会立即在-18℃下快速冷冻。在这个温度下,“呼吸”几乎停止,微小的生物无法生长。冷冻有助于保护水果和蔬菜中的维生素——它不会损害它们,甚至可能有所帮助。)”可知,温度会影响采摘后的蔬果的维生素。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段“Experts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture looked at common things in fruits and vegetables, such as vitamin C, B vitamins, polyphenols, and carotenoids. They checked products sold in markets and found that while frozen and fresh vegetables might have small differences in some things, overall, they’re not that different. In fact, sometimes frozen fruits and vegetables keep more of these vitamins than fresh ones do. Scientists from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK studied 37 kinds of food and found that both frozen green beans and fresh green beans have high levels of beta carotene after being cooked. (美国农业部的专家研究了水果和蔬菜中的常见物质,如维生素C、B族维生素、多酚和类胡萝卜素。他们检查了市场上销售的产品,发现虽然冷冻蔬菜和新鲜蔬菜在某些方面可能存在微小差异,但总体来说,它们并没有太大不同。事实上,有时候冷冻水果和蔬菜比新鲜的水果和蔬菜保留更多的维生素。英国谢菲尔德哈勒姆大学的科学家研究了37种食物,发现冷冻青豆和新鲜青豆在煮熟后都含有高水平的β-胡萝卜素。)”可知,专家和科学家发现冷冻产品对人类更有帮助。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“For these reasons, international health groups say that both frozen fruits and vegetables and fresh ones are acceptable. The old idea that “frozen fruits and vegetables are low quality” is no longer true. (基于这些原因,国际健康组织表示,冷冻水果和蔬菜以及新鲜水果和蔬菜都是可以接受的。“冷冻水果和蔬菜质量低劣”的旧观念不再正确。)”结合文章主要探讨了冷冻蔬果与新鲜蔬果在营养方面的对比,指出冷冻蔬果并不一定比新鲜蔬果营养少,国际健康组织也认为两者都是可接受的。可知,A选项“Frozen vs. Fresh: Similar Quality?(冷冻与新鲜:质量相似吗?)”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.
In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st or January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal clothes, and they may drink champagne(香槟)at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise.
Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh(重新).
Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.
Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year's Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the new year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!
32. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

34. In some cultures, why do people throw things into rivers or oceans?
A. To bring good luck.
B. To forget everything.
C. To avoid bad luck.
D. To plan for the next year.
35. Which of following is CORRECT if people want to escape bad luck and wish for good luck?

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了主人公最近遇到的一些烦恼,希望得到大家的帮助。
【56题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:我想和大家分享我的烦恼,我期待着得到你们所有人的帮助。根据句意可知,句中涉及固定短语“look forward to doing sth.”,意为“期待做某事”,“to”为介词,后接动名词作宾语,“get”意为“得到”,动词词性,动名词形式为“getting”。故填getting。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意:首先,电脑游戏现今在青少年中很受欢迎,我也被它们所吸引。分析句子可知,句中“among”意为“在三者或以上中”,介词词性,后应接可数名词复数形式,“teenager”意为“青少年”,为可数名词,复数形式为“teenagers”。故填teenagers。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:我是如此沉迷于玩电脑游戏,以至于我几乎无法摆脱它们,这对我是非常有害的!根据句意和句子结构可知,句子为非限制性定语从句,先行词为“我沉迷于电子游戏”这件事,在从句中作主语,故应用关系代词“which”引导从句。故填which。
【59题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:其次,我发现学好这些科目很难。根据句意可知,句中涉及固定句型“find it+adj.+to do sth.”,意为“发现做某事是……的”,句中“it”作形式宾语,真正的宾语为后面的动词不定式短语,“learn”意为“学习”,动词词性,不定式符号“to”后接动词原形。故填to learn。
【60题详解】
考查虚拟语气。句意:我父母建议我向老师寻求帮助。分析句子可知,句子为宾语从句,“recommend”意为“建议”,后接“that”引导的从句,“that”可省略,这时从句要用虚拟语气,从句谓语动词为“should+动词原形”,“should”可省略,“ask”意为“询问,请求”,动词词性。故填should ask/ask。
【61题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:第三,我曾经是一个自信的男孩,但现在我对自己没有信心。根据句意可知,句中涉及固定短语“be confident of…”,意为“对……有信心”,或用“be confident about…”,意为“对……有信心”,故空格处用“of”或“about”。故填of/about。
【62题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:我宁愿待在家里也不愿上学。根据句意可知,句中涉及固定短语“prefer to do rather than do”,意为“宁愿做某事而不做某事”,“stay”意为“停留”,动词词性,“to”后接动词原形。故填to stay。
【63题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:虽然班主任和我的同学们对我很友好,但我不想和他们交朋友。根据句意可知,句子陈述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,句中“as well as”意为“既……又……”,谓语动词要与该结构前面的主语保持一致,“head teacher”为可数名词单数形式,故“be”应转换为“is”。故填is。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:我希望从现在起我能成为一个外向的、有用的人,但我不知道该怎么办。根据句意可知,句中泛指一个外向的、有用的人,且“outgoing”音标的第一个音素为元音音素,故应用不定冠词“an”修饰。故填an。
【65题详解】
考查从属连词。句意:如果你能给我一些好的建议,我将不胜感激。根据句意可知,句子为条件状语从句,空格处单词引导从句,为“我将不胜感激”的条件,“if”意为“如果”,引导从句,符合语境。故填if。
