72、语do harm to意为“对有害”, 该短语的现在分词形式在句中作状语。所以句中要填介词to。37. 【解析】to settle。考查不定式。句意: Jeff Kirschner想要建设一个没有垃圾的世界, 为了解决这个问题, 他开办了一个名为Litterati的全球社区。句中不定式短语to settle this problem在句中用作目的状语。所以句中要填不定式to settle。38. 【解析】broken。考查形容词。句意: 有一天, 他们正在远足, 在这时他的女儿注意到河里有一个坏了的塑料浴盆。形容词broken意为“坏了的”, 在句中充当定语, 修饰plastic tub。所以
73、要填broken。39. 【解析】What。考查主语从句。句意: 他的女儿说的话提醒了他我们的星球所面临的这个严重的问题。句中what引导主语从句并在句中充当动词said的宾语。所以句中要填What。40. 【解析】action。考查词性转换。句意: Jeff开始采取行动。动词短语take action意为“采取行动”。所以句中要填action。41. 【解析】fairly。考查副词。句意: 这个想法非常简单: 找到一片垃圾, 拍一张照片, 把照片上传到网上, 然后把垃圾扔进垃圾桶里。句中应该使用副词充当状语修饰形容词simple。所以要填fairly。42. 【解析】Seeing。考查现在分
74、词。句意: 看见了Jeff正在记录他对星球产生的积极影响, 全世界的人们都开始参与了进来。主句主语people worldwide与动词see构成主动关系, 要用现在分词作状语。所以句中要填现在分词Seeing。43. 【解析】have found。考查时态。句意: 到现在为止, 40多个国家3500人上传的2 500 000张照片都到了Litterati的数码垃圾池里。动词短语find ones way to意为“到达”, 时间状语up to now通常与现在完成时连用, 所以要填have found。44. 【解析】effective。考查词性转换。句意: Litterati不仅仅是一个a
75、pp。它是一个紧急问题的有效解决方法。形容词effective意为“有效的”, 在句中充当定语修饰名词solution。所以句中要填形容词effective。45. 【解析】whoever。考查让步状语从句。句意: 无论你生活在哪里, 无论你做什么, 无论你是谁, 加入Litterati吧!让我们的世界成为一个更清洁健康的居住地!句中whoever引导让步状语从句, 与“Wherever you live, whatever you do”构成并列关系, 所以句中要填whoever。第三部分写作(共两节, 满分40分)第一节(满分15分)假如你是你校英文报编辑李华。你校原定于本周五下午在302
