Afraid of it being crashed by cars, so I pulled over, ran across the road and dragged the turtle to safety. But I’d made one big mistake. I had heard that the best way to pick up a turtle without hurting it was picking it by the tail in order not to get bitten. So I’d made that big mistake. While the turtle turned out OK generally, I was determined to figure out how to move a turtle properly. I needed to find someone who dealt with turtles. I found the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre. I talked to Dr. Sue, its Executive and Medical Director. Dr. Sue told me that the organization dealt with a number of aspects of turtle conservation, including rescue, settlement, birth programs, research, and education. Sue explained that southern Ontario is home to a vast majority of turtles in Canada, but is also one of the vastest road networks of the country. “Ninety percent of injured turtles brought in are caused by cars. These turtles spend a lot of time on land. And they do travel many kilometers on land for a variety of reasons, to find a nesting spot, or to hang out for the summer or winter. Turtles know where they want to go. So, just keep them going in the direction they want to go and you may have saved a turtle’s life,” Dr. Sue said. Once an injured turtle arrives at the center, there are medical facilities (设备) ready to go, including an X-ray machine. That’s when the team gets to work with healing injuries, and help their patient. 24． Why did the author stop the car? A．To help the turtle. B．To see the thing clearly. C．To prevent a car accident. D．To find something good. 25． What happened to the turtle? A．It got hurt by people before. B．It was injured a little bit. C．It was run over by a car. D．It lost its direction. 26． What did Dr. Sue suggest at last? A．Leaving the turtles alone. B．Making Ontario home to turtles. C．Changing the road conditions. D．Helping turtles find nesting spots. 27． What does the underlined word “patient” refer to in the last paragraph? A．The director. B．The driver. C．The author. D．The turtle. The past three weeks have witnessed the dramatic rise and fall of a new candidate for the materials science: a superconductor (超导体) that works at room temperature. On July 22th 2023, a team of researchers in South Korea reported their findings on a substance they called LK-99, claiming that its discovery was a “brand new historical moment”. A hit of online physics discussions followed, only to fall flat two weeks later. LK-99, it seemed, was a bubble (泡沫). Whenever electrical power runs through a transmission (传送) line, some is lost as waste heat, a common tax forced by the laws of nature. The huge potential of superconductors is that they carry electricity over large distances with perfect efficiency, having the greatest impact on energy generation, transmission and distribution. If we ever figure out how to produce them cheaply and make them work at room temperature rather than only at hundreds of degrees below zero, it would revolutionize our economy and help save the environment. Superconductors can also achieve things like powerful magnetic (磁场的) fields in mid-air, enabling new electronic devices, computers and modes of transportation. This technology has been in development in Japan for decades, with maglev trains originally projected to open to the public in 2027, running at speeds up to 375 miles per hour between Tokyo and Nagoya. The pull of a room-temperature superconductor grows as our economic and environmental picture darkens. It’s the kind of miracle material that could slow climate change while driving global economy, realized new technologies seen in science fiction. We still don’t know whether the field of superconductivity research will benefit from the new paths opened up by the LK-99 in the last few weeks. It’s a field where theory and experiment have often challenged each other, and our expectations of what is possible have frequently been questioned by what has been observed. Although public interest will no doubt fade for now, an obvious promise remains: a superconducting golden age might be just over the horizon, and the role of science is clear——to find a way to get us there. 28．What can we learn about electricity from the text? A．We should pay the tax using electricity. B．The law of nature regulates the electricity tax. C．Electricity loss during transmission is unavoidable. D．Electricity loss can be reduced to zero by superconductors. 29．What may happen if superconductors are materialized? A．The electricity bill will become a huge burden. B．The issue of climate change will be dealt with. C．The economy and environment will start to fade. D．The new modes of transportation are more available. 30．What is the author’s attitude to superconductors? A．Neutral. B．Doubtful. C．Confident. D．Indifferent. 31．What would be the best title of the passage? A．Bubble Burst: Where Is Superconductor LK-99 Going. B．Superconductor: Why It Sends Scientists Heart Racing. C．Material Science: How It Booms with Superconductors. D．Superconductor: How It Becomes the Commander of Technology. A new study finds sales of sugary drinks obviously fell across several US cities, after they carried out soda taxes (汽水税) aiming those drinks — and those changes continued over time. Taxes ranged from 1 to 2 cents. For a 2-liter bottle of soda, that comes out to between 67 cents to $1.30 extra in taxes. “While prior (先前的) studies have looked at the impact of soda taxes, they usually studied one city at a time. This new study looked at the overall effect of the taxes on several cities to get an idea of what might happen if these taxes were more widespread — or enlarged to the state or national level,” says Scott Kaplan, an economics professor and the study’s lead author. Kaplan and his co-workers found that prices for sugary drinks went up by 33.1% and purchases (购买量) went down by basically the same amount. So when people had to pay more for sugary drinks, they reduced their purchases — the effect was large and continued. As Kaplan notes, “Sugary drinks make up a quarter of all the added sugar we see in the average adult American diet. And that’s a really big amount.” Jennifer Pomeranz, a professor at the School of Public Health, says, “Taxes that aim sugary drinks are good public health policy because these drinks have no nutritional (营养的) value, but they are linked with diet-related diseases. Too much added sugar is linked to a host of poor health outcomes, including overweight and heart disease.” Last month, WHO called on countries to increase taxes on sugary drinks as a way to promote healthier diets. Today, the sugary drink industry’s strategy of offering consumers more choices with less sugar is working, and nearly 60% of drinks sold have zero sugar. The calories that people get from drinks have decreased to the lowest level in decades. 32．What’s the difference between the new study and the prior ones? A．The range. B．The challenge. C．The expense. D．The benefit. 33．How did the people respond to the rising prices of sugary drinks? A．They bought them in overseas markets. B．They turned to the government for help. C．They cut down the drinks’ consumption. D．They added sugar to drinks by themselves. 34．Why were soda taxes introduced according to Jennifer Pomeranz? A．To better protect people’s health. B．To encourage research into drinks. C．To improve the nutrition of drinks. D．To make more money for the government. 35．What can be inferred about the continuation of the soda tax policy? A．It is a short-sighted decision. B．It is a success story. C．It benefits sugary drinks industry. D．It upsets customers. Starting high school is a great experience for any teenager. Whether you are coming from a middle school (grades six through eight) or a junior high school (grades seven through nine), there are many things about high school that are different from your old school environment. 36 You will face being in a new school, making new friends in an unfamiliar class and getting to know new teachers. These new teachers will usually have higher academic (学术的) level than your middle and junior-high school teachers. 37 In return, they expect you to work hard and develop your skills. On top of all this, peer pressure to drink and smoke often increases in high school. 38 Although there is a lot of pressure, it is nothing you cannot deal with. If you are feeling pressure to do something that you feel is wrong, talk to a friend, parent or counselor to find a solution. 39 If you are not succeeding academically, find someone to help you. If you feel lonely, try to join a school club or group to make new friends. 40 With time, you will come to be thankful for everything about your experience. On the point of starting your high school, are you ready? A．You will experience many changes. B．They want to help you get into college. C．High school may seem discouraging (令人沮丧) at first. D．You can make friends at senior high school easily. E．They are there to help you get into this great new time in your life. F．High school is difficult for those who are not prepared well at first. G．Besides, the pressure could also come from grades, loneliness and so on. 三、完形填空（本大题共1小题） It’s not easy to be a parent, especially when your kids are having a hard day.

Lily joined them and found that Peter, her classmate, was showing his newly bought pen to other students. The pen was special and everyone was talking about it cheerfully. Lily was really fond of that pen. She even asked Peter where he bought the pen and she intended to buy one. However, such a pen was too expensive for her — she could only earn her pocket money by helping do housework at home. At that time, the school bell rang. Immediately, all the children rushed to the playground to do morning exercises. When Lily ran out of the classroom, Smith, their math teacher, asked Lily to get some chalk from the classroom. Lily went back to the classroom and found Peter's pen on his desk. She couldn’t help walking to the pen. While Lily was admiring the pen, she heard Smith call her out. In a hurry, she dropped the pen on the floor. She quickly picked it up, put it back and went to give the chalk to Smith. Before Lily ran to the playground, she saw her classmate Mary coming back to the classroom as she was ill. After the morning exercises, everyone went back to the classroom. Just then Peter found his pen was broken and asked who was in the classroom at the time of doing morning exercises. Almost everyone pointed to Mary. When asked whether she had broken Peter’s pen, Mary said no. However, no one could prove her words. Feeling sad, she started to cry. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Lily felt her heart race as she realized what might have happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Smith, having heard Lily’s confession（坦白）, praised her honesty. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 一、听力选择题 1．【答案】B 【听力材料】M: Maria, look!

It might be your first time in Africa, so let me clear up some common questions. First, of course, not everyone who lives in Africa has dark skin. This land was explored and populated by groups from Europe and Asia from around 1400-1800 AD. After that, it was controlled by the Dutch until a war in 1902. Finally, the British gave South Africa its independence in 1961. I happen to be a mix of all these different racial groups, including Asian and native African. Our history has had tension between different groups, so now we celebrate all groups’ equal treatment by honoring Nelson Mandela. He’s the former national leader who brought us together. We’ll learn more about him at his museum, which is the most significant site in Cape Town. We’ll also explore natural landscapes by hiking Table Mountain, seeing penguins in Simon’s Town, and watching waves crash at the Cape of Good Hope. But first, let’s drop your bags at the guest house. 二、阅读理解 【答案】 21．B 22．C 23．D 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了Dorchester大酒店主办的DSWF野生动物舞会将于2024年7月27日举行，文章就其相关的项目活动安排，目的以及费用进行了详细解释。 【详解】 21．细节理解题。根据文章Join a black-tie gastronomical (美食) safari部分内容“As part of a black-tie gastronomical safari, guests will be treated to a mouth-watering three-course meal, enjoy world-class entertainment and listen to insightful and inspiring speeches about DSWF’s conservation work to turn the tables on extinction.(作为一场正式的美食之旅的一部分，客人们将享用令人垂涎的三道菜大餐，享受世界级的娱乐活动，并听取有关DSWF保护工作的深刻和鼓舞人心的演讲，以扭转物种灭绝的命运。)”可知，Wildlife Ball 2024将会给客人提供美味大餐。故选B。 22．推理判断题。根据文章Join a black-tie gastronomical (美食) safari部分内容“We are really excited to invite you back to the Dorchester Hotel, who are our generous hosts, and together aim to celebrate wildlife and the wilderness in style and to raise vital funds to help in the fight for a greener future.(我们非常高兴地邀请您回到Dorchester酒店，我们慷慨的主人，我们共同致力于以时尚的方式庆祝野生动物和荒野，并筹集重要资金，以帮助争取更绿色的未来。)”可知，2024野生动物舞会的目的在于筹集资金。故选C。 23．细节理解题。根据文章Book tickets to the Wildlife Ball 2024部分内容“Individual Tickets: £ 200(Children under 12 get 40% off)(个人票：200英镑（12岁以下儿童6折）)”可知，单人票价为200英镑，12岁以下儿童6折应是“200英镑*（100%-40%）=120英镑”，因此，一对夫妇两人带着10岁的双胞胎儿童，票价应是“200英镑*2+120英镑*2=640英镑”。故选D。 【答案】 24． A 25． B 26． A 27． D 【分析】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了“我”在开车时发现了一只海龟，在帮助它时却伤害了它，所以“我”决定向专业人士请教如何正确地帮助海龟的故事。 【详解】 24． 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A few seconds later, I realized I was looking at a large turtle (海龟). Afraid of it being crashed by cars, so I pulled over, ran across the road and dragged the turtle to safety.(几秒钟后，我意识到我看到的是一只大乌龟。我怕乌龟被车撞坏，就把车停在路边，跑过马路，把乌龟拖到安全的地方。)”可知，“我”把车停在路边，跑过马路是为了把海龟拖到安全的地方。故选A。 25． 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I had heard that the best way to pick up a turtle without hurting it was picking it by the tail in order not to get bitten. So I’d made that big mistake.(我曾听说，要想抓住乌龟而不伤着它，最好的办法就是抓住它的尾巴，以免被它咬伤。所以我犯了一个大错误。)”可知，“我”听说抱起海龟且不伤害它的最好方法是抓住它的尾巴，这样就不会被咬到。所以“我”犯了那个很大的错误。由此可推知，海龟因为“我”的错误操作而受伤了。故选 B。 26． 细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句“'Turtles know where they want to go. So, just keep them going in the direction they want to go and you may have saved a turtle’s life,' Dr. Sue said.(‘海龟知道自己要去哪里。所以，只要让它们朝着它们想去的方向前进，你可能就救了一只海龟的命，’Sue博士说。)”可知，Sue博士说海龟知道自己要去哪里，因此，只要让海龟朝着自己想去的方向走，你就可能拯救了一只海龟的性命。由此可知，帮助海龟最好的办法就是不干涉它。故选 A。 27． 词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句的“Dr. Sue told me that the organization dealt with a number of aspects of turtle conservation, including rescue, settlement, birth programs, research, and education.(Sue博士告诉我，该组织处理了海龟保护的许多方面，包括救援、安置、生育计划、研究和教育。)”和最后一段第一句“Once an injured turtle arrives at the center, there are medical facilities (设备) ready to go, including an X-ray machine.(一旦受伤的海龟到达该中心，就会有医疗设施准备就绪，包括X光机。)”可知，一旦受伤的海龟到达海龟保护中心，这里已经准备好了医疗设施，医务人员就可以帮助他们的病人疗伤。由此可推知，此处的画线词“病人”指的是受伤的海龟。故选 D。 【答案】 28．C 29．D 30．C 31．B 【分析】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种名为LK-99的超导体，在韩国被发现后引起了全球物理学讨论的热潮。此外，超导体还可以实现一些科幻中看到的功能，然而，目前该领域的理论和实验研究仍有待突破，超导体的“黄金时代”是否真的到来还有待观察。 【详解】 28．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Whenever electrical power runs through a transmission (传送) line, some is lost as waste heat, a common tax forced by the laws of nature. (每当电力通过传输线时，都会产生一些浪费热量，这是自然法则强制执行的普遍损失。)”可知，输电过程中的损耗是不可避免的。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The huge potential of superconductors is that they carry electricity over large distances with perfect efficiency, having the greatest impact on energy generation, transmission and distribution. (超导体的巨大潜力在于，它们能以完美的效率远距离传输电力，对能源的产生、传输和分配产生最大的影响。)”以及本段中“If we ever figure out how to produce them cheaply and make them work at room temperature rather than only at hundreds of degrees below zero, it would revolutionize our economy and help save the environment.( 如果我们能弄清楚如何廉价地生产它们，并使它们在室温下工作，而不是仅仅在零下几百度的环境下工作，这将彻底改变我们的经济，并有助于拯救环境。)”可知，如果可以在室温下制造和运行超导体，那么它们将在能源的生产、传输和分配方面产生重大影响，即这将使得能源的生产、传输和分配方面更加便利有效。故选D。 30．推理判断题。根据第二段中“If we ever figure out how to produce them cheaply and make them work at room temperature rather than only at hundreds of degrees below zero, it would revolutionize our economy and help save the environment.( 如果我们能弄清楚如何廉价地生产它们，并使它们在室温下工作，而不是仅仅在零下几百度的环境下工作，这将彻底改变我们的经济，并有助于拯救环境。)”可知，如果可以在室温下制造和运行超导体，那么它们将在能源的生产、传输和分配方面产生重大影响；以及根据倒数第二段中“The pull of a room-temperature superconductor grows as our economic and environmental picture darkens. It’s the kind of miracle material that could slow climate change while driving global economy, realized new technologies seen in science fiction.(随着经济和环境形势的恶化，室温超导体的吸引力越来越大。这是一种神奇的材料，可以减缓气候变化，同时推动全球经济，实现科幻小说中的新技术。)”以及最后一段中“Although public interest will no doubt fade for now, an obvious promise remains: a superconducting golden age might be just over the horizon, and the role of science is clear——to find a way to get us there.(虽然公众的兴趣无疑会暂时消退，但一个明显的承诺仍然存在：超导的黄金时代可能即将到来，科学的作用也很清楚——找到一种方法让我们到达那里。)”可知，文章通过描述超导体在经济和环境方面的积极作用之外，作者也相信超导的黄金时代可能即将到来。故推断作者对超导体的态度是充满自信的。故选C。 31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“On July 22th 2023, a team of researchers in South Korea reported their findings on a substance they called LK-99, claiming that its discovery was a ‘brand new historical moment’. (2023年7月22日，韩国的一组研究人员报告了他们对一种名为LK-99的物质的发现，声称这是一个“全新的历史时刻”。)”以及通读全文可知，文章介绍了一种名为LK-99的超导体，如果可以在室温下制造和运行超导体，那么它们将在能源的生产、传输和分配方面产生重大影响，并可能革命化我们的经济和帮助拯救环境。此外，超导体还可以实现一些科幻中看到的功能，例如制造强大的磁场，在电子设备、计算机和交通运输等领域实现创新。B选项“Superconductor: Why It Sends Scientists Heart Racing.(超导体：为什么它让科学家心跳加速。)”概括文章主要内容，符合文章标题。故选B。 【答案】32．A 33．C 34．A 35．B 【分析】这是一篇说明文，一项新的研究发现，在美国几个城市对含糖饮料征收汽水税后，含糖饮料的销量明显下降，而且这种变化一直在持续。 【解析】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“While prior (先前的) studies have looked at the impact of soda taxes, they usually studied one city at a time. This new study looked at the overall effect of the taxes on several cities to get an idea of what might happen if these taxes were more widespread — or enlarged to the state or national level(虽然之前的研究关注的是汽水税的影响，但他们通常是一次研究一个城市。这项新研究考察了税收对几个城市的总体影响，以了解如果这些税收更广泛——或扩大到州或国家层面——可能会发生什么)”可知，与以前的研究相比，新研究的范围更广，故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“So when people had to pay more for sugary drinks, they reduced their purchases — the effect was large and continued.(因此，当人们不得不为含糖饮料支付更多费用时，他们会减少购买量——这种影响是巨大的，而且会持续下去)”可知，人们对含糖饮料价格上涨作出的反应是减少饮料消费，故选C。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段中Jennifer Pomeranz说的话“Taxes that aim sugary drinks are good public health policy because these drinks have no nutritional (营养的) value, but they are linked with diet-related diseases. Too much added sugar is linked to a host of poor health outcomes, including overweight and heart disease.(对含糖饮料征税是很好的公共卫生政策，因为这些饮料没有营养价值的，但它们与饮食相关的疾病有关。过多的添加糖与许多不良健康结果有关，包括超重和心脏病)”可知，在Jennifer Pomeranz看来，征收汽水税是为了更好地保护人们的健康，故选A。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, the sugary drink industry’s strategy of offering consumers more choices with less sugar is working, and nearly 60% of drinks sold have zero sugar. The calories that people get from drinks have decreased to the lowest level in decades.(如今，含糖饮料行业为消费者提供更多低糖选择的策略正在发挥作用，近60%的饮料销售为零糖。人们从饮料中摄取的卡路里已经降到了几十年来的最低水平)”可知，近60%的饮料销售为零糖。人们从饮料中摄取的卡路里已经降到了几十年来的最低水平，由此推知汽水税政策的延续是一个成功的故事，故选B。 【答案】36．A 37．B 38．G 39．E 40．C 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了开始高中生活对于青少年来说是一次伟大的经历，同时指出高中生活与初中生活存在许多不同之处，并给出了一些建议来帮助青少年更好地适应高中生活。 【解析】36．上文“Whether you are coming from a middle school (grades six through eight) or a junior high school (grades seven through nine), there are many things about high school that are different from your old school environment.(无论你是来自中学（六至八年级）还是初中（七至九年级），高中都有很多与你原来学校环境不同的地方)”提到高中与原来的学校环境有很多不同之处，A选项“You will experience many changes.

(这些新老师的学术水平通常会比你的初中和初中老师高)”描述了新老师的学术水平，B选项“They want to help you get into college. (他们想帮助你进入大学)”承接上文，说明学术水平高的新老师能帮助学生进入更好的大学，且“They”指代上文提到的“new teachers”。故选B项。 38．上文“On top of all this, peer pressure to drink and smoke often increases in high school. (除此之外，在高中，同龄人之间喝酒和吸烟的压力往往会增加)”提到了高中生活中面临的一种压力，G选项“Besides, the pressure could also come from grades, loneliness and so on. (此外，压力还可能来自成绩、孤独等等)”进一步补充了其他可能的压力来源，与上文构成了并列关系，且“pressure”一词与上文相呼应。故选G项。 39．上文“If you are feeling pressure to do something that you feel is wrong, talk to a friend, parent or counselor to find a solution. (如果你感到有压力去做你认为不对的事情，和朋友、父母或顾问谈谈，找到解决办法)”给出了面对压力时的建议，E选项“They are there to help you get into this great new time in your life. (他们会在那里帮助你进入你生命中这个美好的新阶段)”解释了为什么可以和朋友、父母或顾问交谈，即他们是为了帮助我们更好地适应和享受这个新的生活阶段，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 40．下文“With time, you will come to be thankful for everything about your experience. (随着时间的推移，你会对你所经历的一切感到感激)”表达了对高中生活的积极态度，C选项“High school may seem discouraging (令人沮丧) at first. (高中一开始可能看起来令人沮丧)”与下文形成了对比，说明虽然高中一开始可能看起来不顺利，但随着时间的推移，我们会逐渐感激这段经历，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。 三、完形填空 【答案】 41．B 42．A 43．D 44．A 45．C 46．B 47．C 48．D 49．A 50．C 51．B 52．D 53．B 54．A 55．C 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了Devon Linden在遇到困难的时候遇到一位好心人给与鼓励，她很受感动，后来，用同样的爱心去帮助遇到困难的人的故事。 【解析】41．考查形容词词义辨析。句意： Devon Linden的孩子们每周都去练习游泳，通常没什么麻烦，但最近的一次证明情况大不相同。A. formal正式的；B. different不同的；C. common普通的；D. practical实际的。根据前文“usually without much trouble”、连词but的转折及后文“Both of her kids’ were having meltdowns”可知，这次和以往不同。故选B项。 42．考查动词词义辨析。句意：她的两个孩子都崩溃了，妈妈努力让他们冷静下来。A. calm使镇静；B. turn转动；C. bring带来；D. let让。根据前文“Both of her kids’ were having meltdowns”可知，妈妈要让他们冷静。故选A项。 43．考查副词词义辨析。句意：说实话，我真的快哭了，作为一个妈妈试图安慰自己的孩子，让他们离开那里。A. luckily幸运地；B. occasionally偶然地；C. widely广泛地；D. honestly诚实地，真诚地。根据后文“near to tears just as a mom”可知，说实话，妈妈真的快哭了。故选D项。 44．考查名词词义辨析。句意：就在这时，一个陌生人递给她一张鼓励的便条。A. note便条；B. book书籍；C. ticket票；D. report报告。根据后文“the note read”可知，陌生人递给她一张便条。故选A项。 45．考查动词词义辨析。句意：Devon直到上车后才有机会读这便条，但一读，她就忍不住大声哭了起来。A. throw投掷；B. hide隐藏；C. read阅读；D. write书写。根据后文“the note read”可知，Devon读这张便条。故选C项。 46．考查动词词义辨析。句意：Devon直到上车后才有机会读这便条，但一读，她就忍不住大声哭了起来。A. begin开始；B. help帮助，避免，阻止；C. forget忘记；D. regret后悔。根据语境和后文“crying loudly”可知，Devon忍不住哭起来。can’t help (doing) sth“忍不住做某事”是固定句型，符合句意。故选B项。 47．考查名词词义辨析。句意：每一天都是一份礼物，所以要珍惜每一天。A. mirror镜子；B. war战争；C. gift礼物；D. problem问题。根据前文“Life is so meaningful.”和后文“so make it count”可知，每一天都是上帝赐予的礼物。故选C项。 48．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：除了这些友善体贴的话语之外，还有一张100美元的钞票。A. sad伤心的；B. strange奇怪的；C. popular流行的；D. kind友善的，体贴的。根据前文“Life is so meaningful.
