IV. Read the passage and answer the questions.
Growing up in the desert, I knew that water was hard to come by. Sadly, we humans are only making the global water shortage worse. During my college years, I felt bad about myself because I was using as much water as everyone else.
A guest lecture in college turned things around for me. For the first time, I learned about rainwater and greywater harvesting. I decided to give it a go.
I’ve lived in the desert community of Tucson, Arizona, for 30 years. During the monsoon (季风) season, more water than we need falls from the sky. But we just let it run off. At the same time, we import water from the Colorado River, 300 miles away, and pump (抽吸) it uphill 3,000 feet, using a lot of energy and money. It makes me think: Why are we wasting all this energy when there’s already plenty of rainwater here?
I started small. I dug out basin-shaped garden beds with a raised path beside them. As the rain hits the path, it flows into the garden and waters the plants. I then set up a tank (缸) to collect rainwater from the house roof for use in the garden during dry times.
I also thought about how I could reuse greywater. I started with my washing machine. At the back, there is a pipe that sends the used water to the sewer (污水管). I added another pipe. Every time I wash my clothes, the water flows out to my garden and waters the trees.
With these set-ups, 95 percent of the water I use to water my garden comes from free on-site sources. Our family of four now uses less than 20 gallons of city water per person per day. For comparison, the average American uses five times more! I’m saving a lot of money on my water bills. My plants are also living a better life. They look much greener and healthier because rainwater and greywater don’t contain chlorine (氯).
I’m always trying to improve my set-ups. At the same time I’m sharing my experience with my neighbors. I want more people to see how satisfying it is to be part of the solution, not the problem.
50. Why did the author say that the guest lecture in college turned things around for him?
_____________________________________________________________
51. What does the author think of importing water from 300 miles away?
_____________________________________________________________
52. What does the author water his plants with now?
_____________________________________________________________
53. On average, how many gallons of city water does each American use per person per day?
_____________________________________________________________
54. Do you think water is important? Why? (Write at least two reasons)
_____________________________________________________________
V. Translate the following sentences into English. (中译英)
55. 我把头发往前一甩,往上面泼水。 (forward)
____________________________________
56. 你一完成作业就可以玩电脑游戏了。(as soon as)
______________________________
57. 我们应该意识到保护环境的重要性。(aware)

unfamiliar
【解析】
【详解】句意:信上的笔迹不熟悉,所以我辨认不出是谁写的。括号内familiar是形容词,意为“熟悉的”。根据后半句“我辨认不出是谁写的”,可知笔迹是不熟悉的,familiar的反义词是unfamiliar(不熟悉的),放在be动词was后面作表语。故填unfamiliar。
27. The sky was ________ blue, without a single cloud. (clear)
【答案】clearly
【解析】
【详解】句意:天空湛蓝澄澈,万里无云。空处修饰形容词blue,用副词形式clearly“清楚地”。
28. Many customers ________ about the poor quality of the product last week. (complaint)
【答案】complained
【解析】
【详解】句意:上周许多顾客投诉这款产品质量差。所给的词complaint为名词,意为“投诉”。本句缺少谓语动词,complaint对应的动词是complain;时间状语last week表示过去,要用一般过去时,complain的过去式是complained。
IV. Rewrite the sentences as required.
29. Yiming had a delicious meal with his friends by the river. (改为一般疑问句)
________ Yiming ________ a delicious meal with his friends by the river?
【答案】 ①.
Did ②.
have
【解析】
【详解】句意:Yiming和他的朋友们在河边吃了一顿美味的饭。原句是一般过去时,变一般疑问句需借助助动词Did,谓语动词had还原为原形have。
30. It takes me about four hours to wash the fish pool. (对划线部分提问)
_______ _______ does it take you to wash the fish pool?
【答案】 ①. How ②. long
【解析】
【详解】句意:我花了大约四个小时洗这个鱼缸。划线部分为一段时间,应用how long“多久”对时间长度进行提问。故填How;long。
31. I haven’t decided what I will do during the summer holiday. (改为简单句)
I haven’t decided ________ to ________ during the summer holiday.
【答案】 ①.
what ②.
do
【解析】
【详解】句意:我还没有决定暑假要做什么。原句是宾语从句,在主句主语和从句主语一致时,可把宾语从句“what I will do”转换为“疑问词+动词不定式”结构,即what to do,表示“要做什么”,故填what;do。
32. She is proud of you. (保持句意不变)
She ________ ________ ________ you.
【答案】 ①.
takes ②.
pride ③.
in
【解析】
【详解】句意:她为你感到骄傲。be proud of与take pride in是同义短语,意为“为……自豪”。本句主语she是第三人称单数,句子时态为一般现在时,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式takes。故填takes;pride;in。
33. around, when, was, Le, was curious about, everything, he, young, him (连词成句)
_________________________________________________________
【答案】
When Le was young, he was curious about everything around him.
【解析】
【详解】本句为含有when引导的时间状语从句的复合句。根据所给词汇可知,连词“when”引导时间状语从句,人名“Le”作从句主语,系动词为“was”,形容词“young”作表语,构成时间状语从句When Le was young,置于句首单词首字母需大写,后接逗号;主句中代词主格“he”作主语,谓语短语为“was curious about”,固定搭配be curious about意为“对……感到好奇”,不定代词“everything”作介词about的宾语,介词短语“around him”作后置定语修饰everything,表示“他周围的一切”;句末标点使用句号。

IV. Read the passage and answer the questions.
Growing up in the desert, I knew that water was hard to come by. Sadly, we humans are only making the global water shortage worse. During my college years, I felt bad about myself because I was using as much water as everyone else.
A guest lecture in college turned things around for me. For the first time, I learned about rainwater and greywater harvesting. I decided to give it a go.
I’ve lived in the desert community of Tucson, Arizona, for 30 years. During the monsoon (季风) season, more water than we need falls from the sky. But we just let it run off. At the same time, we import water from the Colorado River, 300 miles away, and pump (抽吸) it uphill 3,000 feet, using a lot of energy and money. It makes me think: Why are we wasting all this energy when there’s already plenty of rainwater here?
I started small. I dug out basin-shaped garden beds with a raised path beside them. As the rain hits the path, it flows into the garden and waters the plants. I then set up a tank (缸) to collect rainwater from the house roof for use in the garden during dry times.
I also thought about how I could reuse greywater. I started with my washing machine. At the back, there is a pipe that sends the used water to the sewer (污水管). I added another pipe. Every time I wash my clothes, the water flows out to my garden and waters the trees.
With these set-ups, 95 percent of the water I use to water my garden comes from free on-site sources. Our family of four now uses less than 20 gallons of city water per person per day. For comparison, the average American uses five times more! I’m saving a lot of money on my water bills. My plants are also living a better life. They look much greener and healthier because rainwater and greywater don’t contain chlorine (氯).
I’m always trying to improve my set-ups. At the same time I’m sharing my experience with my neighbors. I want more people to see how satisfying it is to be part of the solution, not the problem.
50. Why did the author say that the guest lecture in college turned things around for him?
_____________________________________________________________
51. What does the author think of importing water from 300 miles away?

55. 我把头发往前一甩,往上面泼水。 (forward)
____________________________________
【答案】
I threw my hair forward and poured water on it.
【解析】
【详解】“我把头发往前一甩,往上面泼水。”译为I threw my hair forward and poured water on it.表示“我”用I,作主语,句子描述发生过的事,用一般过去时,表示“把头发往前一甩”用throw my hair forward,throw的过去式是threw,表示“往上面泼水”用pour water on it,pour的过去式是poured,此处两个连续动作用并列连词and连接。
56. 你一完成作业就可以玩电脑游戏了。(as soon as)
______________________________
【答案】As soon as you finish your homework, you can play computer games.
【解析】
【详解】原句是“一……就……”结构,对应英语中的“as soon as”引导的时间状语从句的复合句。“you”是从句的主语, “finish”是从句的谓语动词,意为“完成”,“your homework”是从句的宾语,意为“你的作业”。“can play”是主句的谓语部分,意为“可以玩”, “computer games”是主句的宾语,意为“电脑游戏”。故填As soon as you finish your homework, you can play computer games.
57. 我们应该意识到保护环境的重要性。(aware)
______________________________
【答案】We should be aware of the importance of protecting the environment.
【解析】
【详解】分析句子可知,句子是陈述句,We“我们”,作主语;should“应该”,情态动词,其后跟动词原形;be aware of“意识到”;the importance of protecting the environment“保护环境的重要性”,作宾语。故填We should be aware of the importance of protecting the environment.
58. 上个周末我们全家去看了一部有趣的电影。(movie)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】My family watched an interesting movie together last weekend.
【解析】
【详解】根据汉语可知,此句时态为一般过去时,谓语动词用过去式。last weekend“上个周末”,固定短语;my family“我们全家”,主语;watched“观看”,动词过去式;together “一起”,an interesting movie“一部有趣的电影”。故填My family watched an interesting movie together last weekend.
59. 实验的结果让全班同学都感到惊讶。(result)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The result of the experiment surprised the whole class.
【解析】
【详解】实验的结果:the result of the experiment;让……感到惊讶:surprise;全班同学:the whole class。结合语境可知,时态应用一般过去时,所以动词surprise要变成过去式surprised。故填The result of the experiment surprised the whole class.
