My dad doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would bake (烤) great bread, but he is and he does. Every Saturday he produces homemade bread. When he’s done, the whole house smells delicious.
The rest of the week, Dad fixes cars at work. The shop where Dad works doesn’t have enough work, so he’s under a lot of stress. I think Dad began baking bread to help him relax.
I’ve been feeling kind of stressed out myself since I found out I didn’t make the school swim team. Now I’ll have to wait a whole year to try out again. Plus, I’m taking some difficult classes this year.
I think Dad knew I was feeling bad. Last Saturday he asked me how things were going. I said OK, even though I didn’t feel OK at all. He looked at me for a moment, and then he said it was time for me to help. Then he headed to the kitchen.
I followed right behind him. Once we were there, Dad got out his big mixing bowl, handed me a large wooden spoon, and told me to mix while he added the ingredients (烹饪原料). Dad isn’t big on measuring. but he knows how much of each ingredient to use, and the bread always turns out great.
When I finished stirring, Dad showed me how to knead the dough (揉面团). Next came the most difficult part — doing nothing. We put the dough back into the bowl and then we waited for more than an hour for the dough to slowly rise and double in size. Next, we divided it into two and waited for it to rise again. Afterward, we put the dough into pans and waited another hour for the dough to rise and double.
Dad said the waiting is always the hardest part. “It’s hard to resist (抵制) putting the dough directly into the oven (烤箱), but if you do, the bread will be hard. The most important lesson of all is learning to be.” Dad taught me more than how to bake bread.
24. Why did the author’s father start baking bread?
A. To support his family. B. To reduce his pressure.
C. To open his own bakery. D. To teach his child a life skill.
25. What made the author feel stressed?
A. Feeling sorry for her father. B. Disliking making bread.
C. Meeting challenges at school. D. Failing to take some classes.
26. What does the underlined sentence “Dad isn’t big on measuring” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Dad thinks measuring is unimportant. B. Dad isn’t fond of big measuring tools
C. Dad has little of measuring properly. D. Dad dislikes measuring ingredients carefully.
27. What lesson has the author learned from her dad?
A. Never give up. B. Believe in yourself.
C. Take life patiently. D. Enjoy time with family.
C
Recently, I asked my 15-year-old cousin about her ideal job. To my surprise, she gave me an unusual answer, saying that she dreams of becoming an online celebrity (名人), which reminded me of a new girl band called“Sunshine”. These teens have quickly got an ill fame across China because of their “unattractive” and “fat” appearance and bad singing skills. But rather than disappear under the criticism from their 430,000 Weibo followers, they seem to bloom on the feedback.
Following the popularity of Sunshine, many new bands featuring (以……为特色) average-looking adolescent girls, such as “Power Girls” and “Love-wings,” began to appear on people’s mobile devices. Lots of ordinary Chinese teens with no skills but big dreams have looked to unexpected role models such as the Sunshine girls as evidence that it takes a little self-confidence to get your name in the headlines. It is surprising to see many young Chinese girls creating spectacles (精彩的表演) online trying to stand out from thousands of potential stars.
This way of “promoting themselves” is fantastic for Chinese youth with no opportunities to stand out in China’s highly competitive society. However, for those children with a strong educational background, there is an increasing worry among parents that social networking is distracting their attention away from their studies.
Sadly, these so-called stars quickly disappear from people’s attention once a new band pops up. Besides, they are likely to leave behind the online photos or videos of their silly and sometimes shameful behaviour. Their future employers and even potential husbands or wives will eventually see these photos or videos, which could affect their own life.
The good news is that, in today’s Internet age, fame and fortune are easily got for kids who aren’t very talented, but the bad news is that these kids become too addicted to social media, which prevents them from learning knowledge and real-life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with no other choices once their online followers forget about them.
28. What does the underlined word “bloom” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. be popular B. be confused C. be discouraged D. be silent
29. Why do the youth create impressive online performances?
A. Because they just need self-confidence.
B. Because they are skilled at performance.
C. Because they don’t concentrate on academics.
D. Because it is a possible chance to be outstanding.
30. What may happen to these online stars after they become less popular?
A. They all find good jobs. B. Their online records remain.
C. They continue their studies. D. They become role models.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards this phenomenon of teens seeking online fame?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.
D
We know that reading is good for children and for adults as well. Now a new study suggests that just being around books has its benefits — even if you don’t read them a lot. A team of researchers in Australia finds that growing up in a home with a sizable library improves literacy (读写能力), number sense and even technological knowledge in later life.
The researchers were interested in what is called the “Radiation Effect”. “Radiation Effect” is a situation where children grow up around books, even though they don’t read them as much as their parents would like them to. But somehow books benefit them.
Joanna Sikora, a sociologist at the Australian National University, and her colleagues studied data collected for almost four years. The survey tested more than 160,000 adults from 31 different societies, and it included a question about how many books testers had in their homes during adolescence.
“We found that people who grew up around books had better literacy, number sense and digital problem-solving skills than people who had fewer books growing up but had similar education levels, similar jobs and even similar adult habits.” In fact, teens who only made it through high school but were raised in a bookish environment were successful as well in adulthood as college graduates who grew up in a house without books.
“So if we grow up in a house, in a home where parents enjoy books, where books are given as birthday presents and cherished and valued, this is something that becomes a part of our identity and gives us this lifelong influence to improve our reading and writing ability.” said Sikora.
So keep those shelves filled with books. Your kids will not only be grateful, they’ll be more likely to be able to spell grateful correctly as well.
32. Which is the benefit for children being around books?
A. They will work with numbers well. B. They will have a big library at home.
C. They will fall in love with literature. D. They will form the habit of reading a lot.
33. The “Radiation Effect” might work for ________.
A. a girl who doesn’t read books B. a girl who visits bookstores a lot
C. a boy who grows up without books D. a boy who receives higher education
34. What do we know from paragraph 4?
A. Children being around books can be successful in adulthood.
B. People being around books can solve real-life problems easily.
C. Teens, after graduating from high schools, can find better jobs.
D. College graduates raised without books are surely not successful.
35. Which might be the best title of the passage?
A. Radiation Effect: A New Sociological Theory B. Book Gifts: A Meaningful Present for Children
C. Home Libraries: A Hidden Key to Lifelong Skills D. Daily Reading: A Direct Path to Improved Literacy
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Starting high school is a new beginning, and it’s a perfect time to develop healthy habits, especially when it comes to sports and fitness. ___36___ Here are some practical tips to help you begin your fitness journey safely and effectively.
Find your “Why” and “What”
___37___ Is it to have more energy, make new friends, or simply to feel healthier? Do you enjoy team sports like basketball or soccer, or do you prefer individual activities like swimming, running, or yoga? Trying out different clubs and activities in your new school is a great way to discover what you love.
Start slow and set realistic goals
It’s important not to push yourself too hard at the beginning. If you start with overly ambitious goals, you might get tired or even injured, which can make you lose motivation quickly. ___38___ For example, instead of aiming to run 5 kilometers in your first week, start with a 1-kilometer jog or a 20-minute walk.
___39___
Sticking to workouts is the key to fitness. It’s better to do a little exercise regularly than to do a lot all at once and then stop. You can schedule your workouts just like you schedule your study time. Even 30 minutes of exercise, three times a week, can make a huge difference. Remember, it’s not about being perfect; it’s about being consistent.
Listen to your body
This is one of the most important rules. Your body will give you signals. It is significant to tell these warning signals from normal muscle soreness. If you feel pain such as a sharp pain, joint pain, or swelling, you need to rest. ___40___ Proper warm-up before exercise and stretching afterwards are also crucial to prevent injuries and help your body recover.
A. Make workouts a habit
B. Schedule your workouts
C. Instead, set small, achievable goals that you can build upon.
D. Knowing your purpose can help you choose the right activity.
E. Don’t ignore these signals and try to “work through” the pain.
F. You might feel excited but also a little unsure about how to start.
G. Therefore, listening to your body is a skill that requires practice.

My dad doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would bake (烤) great bread, but he is and he does. Every Saturday he produces homemade bread. When he’s done, the whole house smells delicious.
The rest of the week, Dad fixes cars at work. The shop where Dad works doesn’t have enough work, so he’s under a lot of stress. I think Dad began baking bread to help him relax.
I’ve been feeling kind of stressed out myself since I found out I didn’t make the school swim team. Now I’ll have to wait a whole year to try out again. Plus, I’m taking some difficult classes this year.
I think Dad knew I was feeling bad. Last Saturday he asked me how things were going. I said OK, even though I didn’t feel OK at all. He looked at me for a moment, and then he said it was time for me to help. Then he headed to the kitchen.
I followed right behind him. Once we were there, Dad got out his big mixing bowl, handed me a large wooden spoon, and told me to mix while he added the ingredients (烹饪原料). Dad isn’t big on measuring. but he knows how much of each ingredient to use, and the bread always turns out great.
When I finished stirring, Dad showed me how to knead the dough (揉面团). Next came the most difficult part — doing nothing. We put the dough back into the bowl and then we waited for more than an hour for the dough to slowly rise and double in size. Next, we divided it into two and waited for it to rise again. Afterward, we put the dough into pans and waited another hour for the dough to rise and double.
Dad said the waiting is always the hardest part. “It’s hard to resist (抵制) putting the dough directly into the oven (烤箱), but if you do, the bread will be hard. The most important lesson of all is learning to be.” Dad taught me more than how to bake bread.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过描写父亲每周六坚持烤面包并带自己一起动手的过程,展现父亲用“等待面团发酵”的生活智慧教会她缓解压力、学会耐心的人生道理。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The shop where Dad works doesn’t have enough work, so he’s under a lot of stress. I think Dad began baking bread to help him relax. (爸爸工作的修理厂活计不够,所以他压力很大。我觉得爸爸开始烤面包是为了让自己放松。)”可知,父亲烤面包的目的是减压。故选B项。

【26题详解】
词句理解题。根据第五段“but he knows how much of each ingredient to use (但是他知道每种原料该用多少)”可推知,父亲凭经验而非严格称量,所以“Dad isn’t big on measuring”的含义是“不喜欢仔细称量原料”。故选D项。

Recently, I asked my 15-year-old cousin about her ideal job. To my surprise, she gave me an unusual answer, saying that she dreams of becoming an online celebrity (名人), which reminded me of a new girl band called“Sunshine”. These teens have quickly got an ill fame across China because of their “unattractive” and “fat” appearance and bad singing skills. But rather than disappear under the criticism from their 430,000 Weibo followers, they seem to bloom on the feedback.
Following the popularity of Sunshine, many new bands featuring (以……为特色) average-looking adolescent girls, such as “Power Girls” and “Love-wings,” began to appear on people’s mobile devices. Lots of ordinary Chinese teens with no skills but big dreams have looked to unexpected role models such as the Sunshine girls as evidence that it takes a little self-confidence to get your name in the headlines. It is surprising to see many young Chinese girls creating spectacles (精彩的表演) online trying to stand out from thousands of potential stars.
This way of “promoting themselves” is fantastic for Chinese youth with no opportunities to stand out in China’s highly competitive society. However, for those children with a strong educational background, there is an increasing worry among parents that social networking is distracting their attention away from their studies.
Sadly, these so-called stars quickly disappear from people’s attention once a new band pops up. Besides, they are likely to leave behind the online photos or videos of their silly and sometimes shameful behaviour. Their future employers and even potential husbands or wives will eventually see these photos or videos, which could affect their own life.
The good news is that, in today’s Internet age, fame and fortune are easily got for kids who aren’t very talented, but the bad news is that these kids become too addicted to social media, which prevents them from learning knowledge and real-life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with no other choices once their online followers forget about them.
28. What does the underlined word “bloom” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. be popular B. be confused C. be discouraged D. be silent
29. Why do the youth create impressive online performances?
A. Because they just need self-confidence.
B. Because they are skilled at performance.
C. Because they don’t concentrate on academics.
D. Because it is a possible chance to be outstanding.
30. What may happen to these online stars after they become less popular?
A. They all find good jobs. B. Their online records remain.
C. They continue their studies. D. They become role models.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards this phenomenon of teens seeking online fame?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,作者通过“Sunshine”等普通女孩组合迅速走红的案例,剖析中国青少年“零才艺”也可借网络成名的现象。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“But rather than disappear under the criticism from their 430,000 Weibo followers (但她们并没有在来自43万微博粉丝的批评声中销声匿迹)”可知,他们不但没有消失,反而流行起来了,bloom这里指越骂越红,即“人气飙升”,与A选项“流行,受欢迎”相同。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Lots of ordinary Chinese teens with no skills but big dreams have looked to unexpected role models such as the Sunshine girls as evidence that it takes a little self-confidence to get your name in the headlines. (许多毫无技能却怀抱巨大梦想的普通中国青少年,把“Sunshine”女孩这类出人意料的榜样视作证明:只需一点点自信,就能让你的名字登上头条)”可知,孩子们拼命做出“精彩表演”是因为把它视为“出人头地的机会”。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Besides, they are likely to leave behind the online photos or videos of their silly and sometimes shameful behaviour. Their future employers and even potential husbands or wives will eventually see these photos or videos, which could affect their own life. (此外,他们那些愚蠢且有时令人羞愧的线上照片或视频很可能会被留下。他们未来的雇主,甚至潜在的丈夫或妻子,终将看到这些照片或视频,这可能影响他们的人生)”可知,当这些网红过气后,他们的记录依然存在。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This way of “promoting themselves” is fantastic for Chinese youth with no opportunities to stand out in China’s highly competitive society. (这种“自我推销”的方式对于那些在中国高度竞争的社会中没有机会脱颖而出的青年来说,是极好的)”和第五段“but the bad news is that these kids become too addicted to social media, which prevents them from learning knowledge and real-life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with no other choices once their online followers forget about them. (但坏消息是,这些孩子变得对社交媒体过于上瘾,这阻碍了他们学习知识和现实生活技能,一旦他们的在线粉丝忘记他们,就会使整整一代沉迷网络的青年别无选择)”可知,作者既肯定这种现象的积极作用,又指出其潜在危害,呈现利弊并存、不偏不倚的客观分析。故选C项。
D
We know that reading is good for children and for adults as well. Now a new study suggests that just being around books has its benefits — even if you don’t read them a lot. A team of researchers in Australia finds that growing up in a home with a sizable library improves literacy (读写能力), number sense and even technological knowledge in later life.
The researchers were interested in what is called the “Radiation Effect”. “Radiation Effect” is a situation where children grow up around books, even though they don’t read them as much as their parents would like them to. But somehow books benefit them.
Joanna Sikora, a sociologist at the Australian National University, and her colleagues studied data collected for almost four years. The survey tested more than 160,000 adults from 31 different societies, and it included a question about how many books testers had in their homes during adolescence.
“We found that people who grew up around books had better literacy, number sense and digital problem-solving skills than people who had fewer books growing up but had similar education levels, similar jobs and even similar adult habits.” In fact, teens who only made it through high school but were raised in a bookish environment were successful as well in adulthood as college graduates who grew up in a house without books.
“So if we grow up in a house, in a home where parents enjoy books, where books are given as birthday presents and cherished and valued, this is something that becomes a part of our identity and gives us this lifelong influence to improve our reading and writing ability.” said Sikora.
So keep those shelves filled with books. Your kids will not only be grateful, they’ll be more likely to be able to spell grateful correctly as well.
32. Which is the benefit for children being around books?
A. They will work with numbers well. B. They will have a big library at home.
C. They will fall in love with literature. D. They will form the habit of reading a lot.
33. The “Radiation Effect” might work for ________.
A. a girl who doesn’t read books B. a girl who visits bookstores a lot
C. a boy who grows up without books D. a boy who receives higher education
34. What do we know from paragraph 4?
A. Children being around books can be successful in adulthood.
B. People being around books can solve real-life problems easily.
C. Teens, after graduating from high schools, can find better jobs.
D. College graduates raised without books are surely not successful.
35. Which might be the best title of the passage?
A. Radiation Effect: A New Sociological Theory B. Book Gifts: A Meaningful Present for Children
C. Home Libraries: A Hidden Key to Lifelong Skills D. Daily Reading: A Direct Path to Improved Literacy
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在书籍环绕的环境中成长对儿童及成年后的诸多益处,包括提升读写能力、数字感知能力以及技术知识等,并介绍了相关研究及其结论。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A team of researchers in Australia finds that growing up in a home with a sizable library improves literacy (读写能力), number sense and even technological knowledge in later life. (澳大利亚的一组研究人员发现,在一个拥有大量藏书的环境中长大,可以提高日后的读写能力、数字感知能力,甚至技术知识。)”可知,在书籍环绕的环境中成长,孩子们将能很好地处理数字。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““Radiation Effect” is a situation where children grow up around books, even though they don’t read them as much as their parents would like them to. But somehow books benefit them. (“辐射效应”是指孩子们在书籍环绕的环境中成长,尽管他们读的书没有父母希望的那么多。但不知何故,书籍对他们有益。)”可知,“辐射效应”适用于经常光顾书店的女孩,因为她虽然可能没有读很多书,但经常接触书籍,符合“辐射效应”的定义。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““We found that people who grew up around books had better literacy, number sense and digital problem-solving skills than people who had fewer books growing up but had similar education levels, similar jobs and even similar adult habits.” In fact, teens who only made it through high school but were raised in a bookish environment were successful as well in adulthood as college graduates who grew up in a house without books. (“我们发现,与那些成长过程中书籍较少但教育水平、工作甚至成年习惯相似的人相比,在书籍环绕的环境中长大的人具有更好的读写能力、数字感知能力和数字问题解决能力。”事实上,那些只读完高中但在书香环境中长大的青少年,成年后和那些在没有书籍的房子里长大的大学毕业生一样成功。)”可推知,在书籍环绕的环境中长大的孩子成年后可能取得成功。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A team of researchers in Australia finds that growing up in a home with a sizable library improves literacy (读写能力), number sense and even technological knowledge in later life. (澳大利亚的一组研究人员发现,在一个拥有大量藏书的环境中长大,可以提高日后的读写能力、数字感知能力,甚至技术知识。)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了在书籍环绕的环境中成长对儿童及成年后的诸多益处,包括提升读写能力、数字感知能力以及技术知识等,因此,C项“家庭图书馆:终身技能的隐藏钥匙”最符合文章主旨。故选C项。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Starting high school is a new beginning, and it’s a perfect time to develop healthy habits, especially when it comes to sports and fitness. ___36___ Here are some practical tips to help you begin your fitness journey safely and effectively.
Find your “Why” and “What”
___37___ Is it to have more energy, make new friends, or simply to feel healthier? Do you enjoy team sports like basketball or soccer, or do you prefer individual activities like swimming, running, or yoga? Trying out different clubs and activities in your new school is a great way to discover what you love.
Start slow and set realistic goals
It’s important not to push yourself too hard at the beginning. If you start with overly ambitious goals, you might get tired or even injured, which can make you lose motivation quickly. ___38___ For example, instead of aiming to run 5 kilometers in your first week, start with a 1-kilometer jog or a 20-minute walk.
___39___
Sticking to workouts is the key to fitness. It’s better to do a little exercise regularly than to do a lot all at once and then stop. You can schedule your workouts just like you schedule your study time. Even 30 minutes of exercise, three times a week, can make a huge difference. Remember, it’s not about being perfect; it’s about being consistent.
Listen to your body
This is one of the most important rules. Your body will give you signals. It is significant to tell these warning signals from normal muscle soreness. If you feel pain such as a sharp pain, joint pain, or swelling, you need to rest. ___40___ Proper warm-up before exercise and stretching afterwards are also crucial to prevent injuries and help your body recover.
A. Make workouts a habit
B. Schedule your workouts
C. Instead, set small, achievable goals that you can build upon.
D. Knowing your purpose can help you choose the right activity.
E. Don’t ignore these signals and try to “work through” the pain.
F. You might feel excited but also a little unsure about how to start.
G. Therefore, listening to your body is a skill that requires practice.
【答案】36. F 37. D 38. C 39. A 40. E
【解析】

上文“Starting high school is a new beginning, and it’s a perfect time to develop healthy habits, especially when it comes to sports and fitness. (进入高中是一个全新的开始,正是养成健康习惯的大好时机,尤其是在体育与健身方面。)”总述背景,空格处应承接“新生面对健身感到既兴奋又茫然”的普遍心态,F项“You might feel excited but also a little unsure about how to start. (你可能感到兴奋,却又有点不确定该如何开始。)”与上文情绪衔接自然,故选F。
【37题详解】
小标题“Find your “Why” and “What” (找到你的原因和项目。)”提出“先弄清目的与项目”,紧随下文“Is it to have more energy, make new friends, or simply to feel healthier? (是为了更有活力、结交新朋友,还是仅仅为了感觉更健康?)”具体列举动机,D项“Knowing your purpose can help you choose the right activity. (明确目的能帮你选择合适的运动。)”正是对该问句的总结与提炼,故选D。
【38题详解】
小标题“Start slow and set realistic goals (循序渐进,设定切实可行的目标。)”指出“不要一开始就给自己设定过于宏大的目标”,C项“Instead, set small, achievable goals that you can build upon. (相反,应设定可以逐步提升的、小而可行的目标。)”与本段逻辑相符,故选C。
【39题详解】
下文“Sticking to workouts is the key to fitness. (坚持锻炼是健身的关键。)”提出总论点,随后建议“像安排学习时间一样安排锻炼,即使每周三次、每次30分钟也会有巨大改观”,A项“Make workouts a habit! (让锻炼成为习惯!)”正是对该段核心“坚持/规律”的浓缩与号召,故选A。
【40题详解】
上文“If you feel pain such as a sharp pain, joint pain, or swelling, you need to rest. (如果你感到剧痛、关节痛或肿胀,就需要休息。)”明确指出“疼痛信号必须停练”,E项“Don’t ignore these signals and try to “work through” the pain. (不要忽视这些信号,更不要“硬扛”疼痛。)”与前文形成否定—警告式衔接,故选E。

第三节 句子翻译(共5个小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
阅读下面材料,根据中文及相关提示翻译下列句子。
A Guide for Your Growth
High school freshman year is a key time for your growth. Here are some practical tips to help you do better in life and study.
First, for your study, ___76___.(我强烈建议你设立学习目标和制订计划。) With clear goals, you’ll know where to put your energy. And always remember: ___77___. (正是你的努力,而不是你的天赋使你成功。) Hard work will always bring you closer to your dreams.
Besides study, you can pay more attention to two daily habits—controlling your online time and keeping up with daily exercise.___78___. (但是花费太多时间上网让你们很难把精力集中在生活的其他事情上。) Instead, keep doing exercise.___79___. (你越锻炼,你就会变得越健康。)
Finally, when you face daily choices, pause a minute to think carefully about your choices first. ___80___. (即使你有做选择的权利,你也要对它负责。)
Following these tips will help you grow better day by day.
【答案】76. I strongly recommend that you should set learning goals and make schedules/ plans.
77. It is your efforts rather than your talent that lead to your success.
78. But spending too much time online makes it very difficult to focus/ concentrate on other things in life.
79. The more you work out, the healthier you will become.
80. Even though you have the right to make a choice, you should be responsible for it.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了高中新生应设学习目标、努力拼搏,少上网、多锻炼,慎选并负责,日积月累,稳步成长。
【76题详解】
考查宾语从句中的虚拟语气。“建议”可以使用recommend,后面如果使用宾语从句,从句应该使用should do的虚拟语气形式,其中should可以省略。从句中,“设立学习目标”翻译为set learning goals,“制定计划”翻译为make schedules或plans。故整句可翻译为I strongly recommend that you should set learning goals and make schedules/plans.
【77题详解】
考查强调句型。题干要求强调“努力”而非“天赋”是通向成功的关键,因此使用“It is…rather than…that…”的强调结构。被强调的主语是“your efforts rather than your talent”,谓语动词用原形“lead to”。故整句可翻译为It is your efforts rather than your talent that lead to your success.
【78题详解】
考查动名词短语作主语以及“make + it + adj. + to do”结构。句中“花费太多时间上网”需用动名词短语“spending too much time online”作主语;“使……很难”用“makes it very difficult to …”,其中it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是不定式“to focus/concentrate on other things in life”。故整句可翻译为But spending too much time online makes it very difficult to focus/concentrate on other things in life.
【79题详解】
考查“the + 比较级,the + 比较级”句式。前一分句用一般现在时表条件,后一分句用一般将来时表结果。“锻炼”译为“work out”;“越……越……”结构对应“the more…, the healthier…”。故整句可翻译为The more you work out, the healthier you will become.
【80题详解】
考查让步状语从句及固定搭配。让步关系用“even though”引导;表示“有做某事的权利”用“have the right to do sth.”;“对……负责”用“be responsible for…”。故整句可翻译为Even though you have the right to make a choice, you should be responsible for it.

Version 1:
Dear Peter,
I totally understand your hesitation between the two clubs. After careful consideration, I highly recommend you join the debate club.
Debate club is beneficial to both your academic and personal growth. Enabling you to analyze problems from different angles, it is an excellent platform to sharpen your critical thinking and enhance your public speaking skills. Furthermore, for you as an exchange student, debate club is not only a place where you can step out of your comfort zone to practise your oral Chinese, but also a great way to develop friendships and fit into the school quickly.
Therefore, I believe that debate club offers you better opportunities. I do hope my advice is helpful to you and you will enjoy yourself in the club.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Version 2:
Dear Peter,
It’s very common for freshmen to hesitate about club choices. Considering that you are keen on various sports, I am convinced that sports club is a better choice for you.
First and foremost, joining a sports club enables you to strike a balance between study and health. Considering the stress of high school, the sports club offers a perfect chance to free you from the heavy schoolwork and get you refreshed, which can boost your study efficiency. Moreover, it is the sports club that can help you foster a strong sense of belonging in our school and build friendships through shared goals on the field.
In short, the sports club benefits you both physically and socially. Why not give it a shot?
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

No, I read an article about plastic pollution in today's newspaper and learned that IT has become a serious problem. For example, it's harming the growth of different plants. What's worse, thousands of sea animals get sick or die each year due to plastic waste. That's terrible. Is there any way to solve this problem? Reduce the use of plastics. Lots of countries in the world, like butter have placed a ban on single use plastics. So what can we do in our daily life? We should put plastic in the recycling bin rather than throw IT here and there. In that case, the plastic will be taken to a place where you can be recycled and turn into new plastic products. Our class can organize a plastic free big event at school. Great idea. I believe our head teacher, mister cook, will agree to that. Hi alex, why are you looking so worried?
