I just saw them.I spent my childhood collecting a
40、nd pressing fourleaf clovers into books at my mothers house. I started with big cloth and leatherbound books. When I ran out of romantically bound volumes, I began to put my treasures into anything I could find: fiction paperbacks and cookbooks. The same is true in my house today. Shake a book, and
41、a papery treasure just might fall into your hand.A few years ago, in Nova Scotia, my husband and I pulled off the road for a picnic.The ground was thick with clover.

60、些都是重要的方面,但与气候变化的灾难性后果相比,它们就显得微不足道了。由此可知,作者对房屋规划系统持不认同的态度。DTired of standing in line?

91、he sandbar.When Payeng found them, they had all died.“Because of the _58_(absent) of trees, the snakes died in _59_ heat.It was really _60_(pain), so I decided to grow bamboos and trees there,” said Payeng.Over the years,Payeng _61_(plant) over 1,360 acres (英亩) of forest.The forest,_62_(name) after

93、 Shri, one of the top awards in India.Today,Payeng still lives in the forest.He shares a small house with his wife and three children and makes a living by _65_(sell) cow and buffalo milk.语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。印度曾经的一片沙洲如今却成了1,360英亩的森林,有着各种各样的植物和动物。这一切的转变,全靠一个人,他就是Jadav Payeng。56intoturn .into .是固定搭配,意为“将变成”
94、。故填into。57when空处用关系副词引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词1979,故填when。58absence空处所填单词在句中作because of的宾语,且前面有冠词,应用absent的名词形式,故填absence。59the此处heat为不可数名词,in the heat意为“在炎热的天气中”,故填the。60painful空处所填单词在句中作表语,根据句意可知,此处应用pain的形容词形式,故填painful。61has planted“over 一段时间”作状语时,句子谓语通常用现在完成时;主语Payeng是第三人称单数,故填has planted。62named此处是分词短语
95、作后置定语,修饰the forest, 又因为name与被修饰词之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故填named。63varietiesthousands of修饰名词时,被修饰名词需用复数形式;varieties of表示“各种各样的”,故填varieties。64was honoured主语Payeng是谓语动词honour的承受者,故用被动语态;根据时间状语in 2015可知,应用一般过去时,故填was honoured。65selling介词by后接动名词作宾语,故填selling第四部分写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节(满分15分)假定你是李华。你的美国朋友Jack发来邮件,想了解中国茶文化。
