24、make light work.DNothing is impossible to a willing heart.A解析:段落大意题。根据最后一段的内容可知,世界环境日不是公共节日,所以人们不放假。但如果你想庆祝的话,为何不让你周围的人关注它?所以最后一段主要是讲每个人都可以从身边小事做起,行动起来保护地球,每个人的微小努力都很重要,故选A项。Doing is better than saying“行胜于言”;Many hands make light work“众人拾柴火焰高”;Nothing is impossible to a willing heart“有志者事竟成”。【难句分析】E

43、are my favorites, from which I get a better understanding of human civilization and progress both in China and abroad.Best wishes!Yours,Li Huainteresting改为interested。考查形容词。“对感兴趣”应用be interested in来表达,故此处应将interesting改为interested。your改为our。考查代词。根据下文中的“We have a grand library”可知,此处表示“在我们学校”,故要用our。on改
44、为with/of。考查介词。根据语境并分析句子结构可知,此处是介词短语作定语修饰library,表示该图书馆具备什么样的特征,或以什么样的形态存在,故此处应用with或of,表示该图书馆有20万册藏书和5个大阅览室。that改为which。考查定语从句。在“介词关系代词”引导定语从句的结构中,介词后面不能用that,要用which或whom;本定语从句的先行词为reading rooms,故要用“in which”引导该定语从句。freely改为free。考查形容词。本句中的“fond of reading”为形容词短语作定语,修饰Anyone,故要用形容词free作表语和is共同构成谓语部分
45、。holding改为held。考查动词的语态。A monthly activity“每月的活动”是“被举行”的,故要用被动语态is held,故将helding改为held。在exchange前加to。考查非谓语动词。此处应用动词不定式短语作目的状语,表示每月为学生举行的活动是为了让他们交流关于阅读的想法。had改为have。考查动词的时态。“Every autumn(每个秋天)”作本句的时间状语,表示现在经常发生的动作,谓语部分要用一般现在时。writer改为writers。考查名词的单复数。根据后面的“are invited”可知,此处的作家不止一人,故要用名词writer的复数形式。删除progress前的a。考查冠词。progress意为“进步”,为不可数名词,故其前不能用不定冠词。
