【答案】softly
【详解】句意:天气真好,风轻轻地吹,阳光明亮地照耀着。soft“柔软的;轻柔的”,是形容词。句中blows是动词,修饰动词需用副词,因此将形容词soft变为副词形式softly,意为“轻轻地、温柔地”,符合语境。故填softly。
19.This model car belongs to ________ (I).

【答案】unlocking
【详解】句意:学习是解锁世界的钥匙。固定搭配the key to… 意为“……的钥匙/关键”,其中的to是介词,因此后面必须接名词、代词或动名词(动词-ing 形式)。 “解锁”对应的动词是unlock,动词需要变为动名词形式,即unlocking。
23.All the students are looking at the ________ (布告牌) to find their exam results.

【详解】句意:所有的学生都在看布告牌,以便找到他们的考试成绩。根据中文提示可知,“布告牌”对应的英文是board,是可数名词,此处作介词at的宾语。the表示特指公布成绩的公告牌,所以填单数名词。

Are you a nature lover? Then you must visit Zhangye UNESCO Global Geopark in China! It’s one 41 the best geoparks in the world. People there believe 42 it has the most beautiful rainbow (彩虹) hills in the world.
There are plenty of low hills that look like waves and have many different 43 (colour), just like a rainbow! If you climb up to the top and see the hills from above, you 44 (find) rainbows painted on the ground. Of course, you’d better take 45 raincoat with you because the weather often changes 46 (sudden) during the climb.
You may wonder how these colourful hills were developed. Millions of years ago, this area was under a lake. Over time, rivers were bringing sand 47 stones. These were left in layers (层) on the bottom of the lake. Some layers were red, some were yellow, and the others turned purple or white. Later, the climate 48 (become) much colder and drier, so that the lake dried up. Then, something special happened! The underground land began 49 (rise) up and push against each other. The layers of sandstone were lifted higher and higher. Through years of wind, sun, and rain, they formed the colourful hills we see today.
The best time to visit the geopark is from June to September. Mornings and evenings are much 50 (cool) than the hot afternoons. During these times, you can enjoy the wonderful sunrises and sunsets over the hills. Sunshine after a summer rain will make the colours even brighter and more beautiful.
【答案】
41.of 42.that 43.colours 44.will find 45.a 46.suddenly 47.and 48.became 49.to rise/rising 50.cooler
【导语】这篇短文介绍了中国张掖世界地质公园的彩虹山景观,讲述了它的外观特点、形成原因,以及游览的最佳时间和注意事项。
41.句意:它是世界上最好的地质公园之一。one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数,表示“最……之一”。
42.句意:那里的人们认为它是世界上最美丽的彩虹山。动词believe后接宾语从句,从句成分完整,用that引导。
43.句意:有许多低矮的小山,它们看起来像波浪,有很多不同的颜色,就像一道彩虹!different后接可数名词复数,所以colour变为colours。
44.句意:如果你爬到山顶,从上面看这些山,你会发现地面上像画着彩虹一样。if引导的条件状语从句遵循“主将从现”,从句用一般现在时,主句用一般将来时。
45.句意:当然,你最好带一件雨衣,因为爬山时天气经常突然变化。固定搭配take a raincoat带一件雨衣,raincoat是可数名词单数,用不定冠词a。
46.句意:当然,你最好带一件雨衣,因为爬山时天气经常突然变化。修饰动词changes需要用副词,所以sudden变为suddenly。
47.句意:久而久之,河流带来了沙子和石头。sand和stones是并列名词,用并列连词and连接。
48.句意:后来,气候变得更加寒冷干燥,所以湖泊干涸了。全文主体为一般过去时,所以become变为过去式became。
49.句意:地下的土地开始隆起,相互挤压。固定结构:begin to do sth.或begin doing sth.,所以填to rise或rising都可以。
50.句意:早晨和傍晚比炎热的下午凉爽得多。much修饰形容词比较级,than是比较级的标志,所以cool变为cooler。
Do you believe a rose plant says, “I’m thirsty!” or a tree shouts, “My arms hurt? Maybe you will say this could only happen in some 51 (children) stories.
In fact, plants are not always silent. So far, a recent study 52 (find) plants shout when they are in need of water or having their stems cut. “Even in a quiet field, there are 53 (actual) some sounds that carry information (信息). However, the pitch (音高) is too high for people 54 (hear),” said a teacher from Tel Aviv University. The researchers used microphones to record some tomato plants and found that stressed plants send out 55 (many) sounds than unstressed plants. “When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet.”
The teacher said that they also developed a machine to tell the differences 56 thirsty plants and cut plants. The result shows that 57 the causes of stress change, they shout differently. After 58 team recorded many kinds of other plants, they found that many plants like corn, wheat and grape plants send out sounds when they are under stress, too.
“There is a possibility that a lot of talk is happening,” Professor Hadany said. “Because other 59 (plant) may hear the call of the stressed plants.”
Sound recordings of plants could bring humans lots of advantages especially (尤其) in farming. For example, people will make sure 60 corn is getting enough water or not, or where water is needed most.
【答案】
51.children’s 52.has found 53.actually 54.to hear 55.more 56.between 57.when/as 58.the 59.plants 60.whether
【导语】本文介绍了一项最新研究,揭示了植物在缺水或茎被切断时会发出声音信号,且不同压力下的植物发声存在差异,这一发现对农业领域具有重要意义。
51.句意:也许你会说这只会发生在一些儿童故事里。stories是名词,前面需要用名词所有格或形容词修饰;children的复数名词所有格形式为children’s,表示“儿童的”,符合“儿童故事”的语境。
52.句意:到目前为止,一项近期研究发现植物在缺水或茎被切断时会发出声音。时间状语So far是现在完成时的标志,主语a recent study是单数,用has,find的过去分词为found。
53.句意:实际上,即使在安静的田地里,也有一些声音传递着信息。此处需要副词修饰整个句子 there are...,actual的副词形式为actually,表示“实际上、事实上”。
54.句意:然而,音高太高,人类听不见。too...to do sth.是固定结构,表示“太……而不能做某事”,因此hear需变为不定式形式to hear。
55.句意:研究人员发现,受压力的植物比未受压力的植物发出的声音更多。句中出现 than,是比较级的标志;many的比较级为more,表示“更多的”。
56.句意:这位老师说,他们还研发了一种机器来区分缺水植物和被切断茎的植物。between…and…是固定搭配,意为“在……和……之间”,符合“区分两种植物”的语境,故填between。
57.句意:结果表明,随着压力的原因发生变化,植物发出的声音也不同。此处表示“当……时/随着……”,引导时间状语从句,用连词when或as均可。
58.句意:在该团队记录了多种其他植物之后,他们发现玉米、小麦和葡萄等植物在受到压力时也会发出声音。此处特指研究的那个团队,用定冠词the修饰team,表示特指。
59.句意:因为其他植物可能会听到受压力植物的信号。other后接可数名词复数,plant的复数形式为plants。
60.句意:例如,人们可以确定玉米是否得到了足够的水分,或者哪里最需要水。whether…or not 是固定搭配,意为“是否”,符合“确定玉米是否有足够水分”的语境。

Are you a nature lover? Then you must visit Zhangye UNESCO Global Geopark in China! It’s one 41 the best geoparks in the world. People there believe 42 it has the most beautiful rainbow (彩虹) hills in the world.
There are plenty of low hills that look like waves and have many different 43 (colour), just like a rainbow! If you climb up to the top and see the hills from above, you 44 (find) rainbows painted on the ground. Of course, you’d better take 45 raincoat with you because the weather often changes 46 (sudden) during the climb.
You may wonder how these colourful hills were developed. Millions of years ago, this area was under a lake. Over time, rivers were bringing sand 47 stones. These were left in layers (层) on the bottom of the lake. Some layers were red, some were yellow, and the others turned purple or white. Later, the climate 48 (become) much colder and drier, so that the lake dried up. Then, something special happened! The underground land began 49 (rise) up and push against each other. The layers of sandstone were lifted higher and higher. Through years of wind, sun, and rain, they formed the colourful hills we see today.
The best time to visit the geopark is from June to September. Mornings and evenings are much 50 (cool) than the hot afternoons. During these times, you can enjoy the wonderful sunrises and sunsets over the hills. Sunshine after a summer rain will make the colours even brighter and more beautiful.
Do you believe a rose plant says, “I’m thirsty!” or a tree shouts, “My arms hurt? Maybe you will say this could only happen in some 51 (children) stories.
In fact, plants are not always silent. So far, a recent study 52 (find) plants shout when they are in need of water or having their stems cut. “Even in a quiet field, there are 53 (actual) some sounds that carry information (信息). However, the pitch (音高) is too high for people 54 (hear),” said a teacher from Tel Aviv University. The researchers used microphones to record some tomato plants and found that stressed plants send out 55 (many) sounds than unstressed plants. “When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet.”
The teacher said that they also developed a machine to tell the differences 56 thirsty plants and cut plants. The result shows that 57 the causes of stress change, they shout differently. After 58 team recorded many kinds of other plants, they found that many plants like corn, wheat and grape plants send out sounds when they are under stress, too.
“There is a possibility that a lot of talk is happening,” Professor Hadany said. “Because other 59 (plant) may hear the call of the stressed plants.”
Sound recordings of plants could bring humans lots of advantages especially (尤其) in farming. For example, people will make sure 60 corn is getting enough water or not, or where water is needed most.
