When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill (半山腰). Even though they worked so hard, the production of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about our difficulties, and later, a canal project (灌溉工程) began to be built in my village. “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied.
Then, I moved to another city for my middle school. During one summer holiday, I came back to my hometown with my parents. When we arrived there, we were astonished because everything changed. We saw the canal ran through every orchard. And my grandma told us that after the canal project was completed, villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill to carry water anymore. And more and more people start planting fruit and the production increased a lot.
Thanks to the government’s canal project, it makes the development of our countryside better. Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city. However, we should not forget our hometown. That is where we are from.

【解析】本文主要讲述了作者的家乡临汾近年来发生了巨大的变化,包括居住条件、交通、环境和人们的行为等方面,人们相信共同努力可以让世界变得更美好。
41.句意:这些年来发生了许多巨大的变化,包括生活条件、交通、环境和人们。根据“Many great changes...place over the years”可知,此处表达的是“发生”,英语是take place,而由“over the years”可知,句子应该用现在完成时,结构是“have/ has+过去分词”,主语是复数名词,所以这里用have,故填have taken。
42.句意:现在他们中的大多数人都搬进了新房子,他们有一种强烈的幸福感。根据“they get a strong feeling of...”可知,此处表达的是一种感觉,空格修饰的是名词,故用形容词“happy”的名词“happiness”,故填happiness。

46.句意:人们开始把玻璃、塑料和纸等东西分成不同的组进行回收。根据“separate things like glass, plastic and paper into different...and recycled them.”可知,此处表达的是“分组”,英语是group,而空格前有“different”修饰,所以这里用复数形式,故填groups。

五、任务型阅读(10分)
I’m Li Hua. For this school project, I interviewed my grandfather about the changes in our hometown, a small city in southern China. He has lived here for nearly 70 years and witnessed great changes over time.
Back in the 1970s, life was quite simple and hard. The streets were narrow, and there were only a few old bicycles for transportation. Most people lived in small, old houses with no modern facilities like air conditioners or washing machines. Farmers worked in the fields with their hands, and the harvest was always small. Children went to simple schools with broken desks, and there were very few books or teaching tools. People only kept in touch with their friends by letter. And it often took weeks to get a reply.
Since the 1990s, our hometown has developed quickly. New wide roads and tall buildings have appeared everywhere. 人们现在生活在舒适的房子里。There are all kinds of modern home appliances in the houses. Many families have their own cars, and high-speed trains connect our city to big cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Farmers use modern machines to work in the fields, so the harvest is much bigger than before. Schools are now big and bright with new computers and libraries. People can communicate with others easily by mobile phones, WeChat or video calls..
My grandfather always says that we should never forget the hard past and cherish the happy life we have now. I believe our hometown will become even more beautiful in the future.
51.How long has Li Hua’s grandfather lived in their hometown?
52.How did farmers work in the fields in the 1970s?

【解析】本文介绍了兴化这座城市近年来发生的巨大变化,包括生活条件、交通、环境和人文素质等方面的改善和提升。
56.句意:在过去几年里,发生了巨大的变化,包括生活条件、交通、环境以及人们自身等方面。时间状语over the past few years是现在完成时的标志,take place意为“发生”,是不及物短语,无被动语态,主语Great changes是复数,用have taken。
57.句意:当地人过去住在老房子里。used to do sth是固定搭配,意为“过去常常做某事”,填动词原形live。
58.句意:大多数人开车出差。固定搭配on business意为“出差”,符合语境,填介词on。
59.句意:人们在辛苦工作一天后常去公园放松。此处表示“一天辛苦的工作”,要用名词所有格day’s修饰work。
60.句意:河流里满是污染。介词with后接名词,动词pollute的名词形式是pollution。
61.句意:现在政府已设法改善环境。manage to do sth是固定搭配,意为“设法做成某事”,应该填to improve。
62.句意:如果人们在公共场合随意丢弃垃圾,他们将会受到惩罚。此处是条件状语从句,意为“如果人们在公共场合乱扔垃圾,会受到惩罚”,引导条件状语从句,用连词if,句首首字母大写。
63.句意:每年成千上万的游客来到这座城市。thousands of是固定搭配,意为“数千的,成千上万的”。
64.句意:他认为现在的生活有趣多了。much修饰形容词比较级,此处描述生活更有趣,interesting的比较级是more interesting。
65.句意:兴化市的人们坚信,只要大家齐心协力,一定能让兴化成为一个更加美好的地方。place是可数名词单数,better以辅音音素开头,表示“一个更好的地方”,用不定冠词a。

When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill (半山腰). Even though they worked so hard, the production of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about our difficulties, and later, a canal project (灌溉工程) began to be built in my village. “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied.
Then, I moved to another city for my middle school. During one summer holiday, I came back to my hometown with my parents. When we arrived there, we were astonished because everything changed. We saw the canal ran through every orchard. And my grandma told us that after the canal project was completed, villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill to carry water anymore. And more and more people start planting fruit and the production increased a lot.

Back in the 1970s, life was quite simple and hard. The streets were narrow, and there were only a few old bicycles for transportation. Most people lived in small, old houses with no modern facilities like air conditioners or washing machines. Farmers worked in the fields with their hands, and the harvest was always small. Children went to simple schools with broken desks, and there were very few books or teaching tools. People only kept in touch with their friends by letter. And it often took weeks to get a reply.
Since the 1990s, our hometown has developed quickly. New wide roads and tall buildings have appeared everywhere. 人们现在生活在舒适的房子里。There are all kinds of modern home appliances in the houses. Many families have their own cars, and high-speed trains connect our city to big cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Farmers use modern machines to work in the fields, so the harvest is much bigger than before. Schools are now big and bright with new computers and libraries. People can communicate with others easily by mobile phones, WeChat or video calls..
