37、】【分析】【详解】考查非谓语动词作补语。句意:我们期待解决的交通问题本应该引起政府的重视。本句中定语从句we are looking forward to seeing修饰先行词the traffic problem,关系代词that/which(此处已省略)指代先行词作为动词see的宾语,与solve构成被动关系,所以使用过去分词solved做宾语补足语,即构成see sth. done的结构,综上应选A。20.

A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were
93、 decorated with houseplants.” (例如,在俄亥俄州扬斯敦进行的一项研究发现,城市绿化区域的犯罪率较低。在另一项研究中,当员工的工作场所装饰有室内植物时,他们的工作效率提高了15%。)可知,第一段主要在讲关于绿色植物的益处。故选D项。【52题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when theyre short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in gr
94、oundwater.”()其中包括一种植物,它们的叶子上印有传感器,可以显示它们是否缺水,还有一种植物可以检测地下水中的有害化学物质。)可知,麻省理工学院工程师植物叶片上印上传感器的作用是检测植物缺水的情况,故选A项。【53题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.”(发光的植物可以缩短这段距离,因此有助于节省能源。)可知,这种发光的植物在未来可能有助于减少能源消耗,故选C项。【54题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“The engineers are also
95、 trying to develop an on and off switch where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.”(工程师们还在尝试开发一种开关,当光线暴露在日光下时,光芒就会减弱。)此处表示光芒会减弱,而不是关闭植物,故D项描述错误,故选D项。(B)WILDE THEATREBOOKI NG-in personThe Box Office is open Monday to Saturday, 10 am-8 pm.-by postStating the performance and choice of seats, e

118、意思是实际上无害。故选C项。【59题详解】细节理解题。由文章第一段“Like other pandemics and emerging disease outbreaks, COVID-19 is creating immense psychosocial disturbances.(与其它大流行病和新出现的疾病爆发一样,新型冠状病毒肺炎正在造成巨大的社会心理干扰)”可知,流行病可以造成巨大的社会心理障碍。故选B项。【60题详解】推理判断题。由文章第一段总领句“Like other pandemics and emerging disease outbreaks, COVID-19 is cr

122、n the world for conservation and education. They are particularly important for endangered species. Many animals are critically endangered and may go extinct in the wild, but in zoos, they are going strong. Many others are already extinct in the wild and only survive thanks to populations kept in ca
123、ptivity (圈养). Even those critical of zoos often recognize that it is better to have species preserved somewhere than lose them altogether. _62_Take the ring-tailed lemur (环尾狐猴) of Madagascar for example. This animal is almost ubiquitous in zoos as they breed well in captivity and the public are fond
124、 of them. However, despite their high numbers in collections around the world, they are the most threatened mammalian group on the planet. A recent survey suggests that up to 95 percent of the wild populations have been lost since 2000. _63_ One bad year or a new disease could wipe out those that ar
125、e left. Such trends are not isolated. The giraffe is another very common species in zoos. Unlike the lemurs, giraffes are widespread in the countries across much of sub-Saharan Africa. Yet giraffe populations have gone down by a third in the last thirty years. While less dramatic than the drop in le
126、mur numbers, this is obviously a major loss and again, whole populations (which some scientists think are of unique subspecies) are on the verge of extinction._64_ Ongoing and future issues from climate change can have unexpected effects on wildlife. It will become more difficult for conservationist
127、s to predict which species might be at risk. As it is, experts are struggling to continue monitoring the species that are already known to be vulnerable, so it is easy to see why common species might be overlooked. People might not take a great local loss seriously on the assumption that these anima
128、ls are heavily populated elsewhere. There will, I suspect, always be resistance to the argument for keeping animals in captivity and I will not defend the zoos that are bad and in desperate need of improvement or closure. _65_ If even common species can lose a huge percentage of their populations in
129、 a few years, it may be too late to save them with even the best breeding programs or conservation efforts in the wild.A. So we can see many endangered animals living in zoos.B. This is a trend that is only likely to continue.C This means that the remaining individuals are at serious risk.D. In fact
130、, species that are common can also come under serious threat before people realize it.E. But unfortunately that is not always the case.F.

131、议论文,论述了对于濒危的动物是否需要动物园进行圈养,从而对其保护。【62题详解】由空格下一段所举的事例“Take the ring-tailed lemur of Madagascar for example. This animal is almost ubiquitous in zoos as they breed well in captivity and the public are fond of them. However, despite their high numbers in collections around the world, they are the most t
132、hreatened mammalian group on the planet. (以马达加斯加的环尾狐猴为例。这种动物在动物园里几乎无处不在,因为它们在圈养条件下繁殖良好,公众喜欢它们。然而,尽管它们在世界各地的收藏数量很多,但它们是地球上最受威胁的哺乳动物群体。)”可知,即便是动物园里数量最多,最受欢迎的动物,在自然界中依然也受到威胁。由此推断出,前一句的观点应该是即便是常见的动物也会处于危险之中。D项In fact, species that are common can also come under serious threat before people realize it.(事
133、实上,在人们意识到之前,常见的物种也会受到严重的威胁)可以引出下文。故此题选D。【63题详解】根据空格前一句“A recent survey suggests that up to 95 percent of the wild populations have been lost since 2000.(最近的一项调查显示,自2000年以来,多达95%的野生种群已经消失)”可知,95%的野生种群已经消失。又结合空格后一句“One bad year or a new disease could wipe out those that are left.(糟糕的一年或一个新的疾病可能会消灭那些剩下
134、的)”可知,剩下的野生种群的情况十分危急。由此可知,空格处应该讲述剩下的野生种群的情况也很糟糕。那么C项This means that the remaining individuals are at serious risk.(这意味着剩下的有严重的危险)承上启下。故此题选C。【64题详解】根据空格前一句“While less dramatic than the drop in lemur numbers, this is obviously a major loss and again, whole populations (which some scientists think are
135、of unique subspecies) are on the verge of extinction.(虽然没有狐猴数量下降那么明显,但这显然是一个重大损失,而且整个种群(一些科学家认为是独特的亚种)都濒临灭绝)”可知,通过长颈鹿的例子论证到野生动物处于危险之中。又根据空格后一句“Ongoing and future issues from climate change can have unexpected effects on wildlife. (气候变化带来的持续和未来问题可能会对野生动物产生意想不到的影响)”可知,气候变化和未来问题也会让野生动物处于危险之中。由此可知,横线处应该
136、讲述,野生动物这种糟糕的情况不会得到改善,甚至会加剧。那么B项This is a trend that is only likely to continue.(这种趋势只可能持续下去)承上启下。故此题选B。【65题详解】根据空格前一句“There will, I suspect, always be resistance to the argument for keeping animals in captivity and I will not defend the zoos that are bad and in desperate need of improvement or closu
137、re. (对于圈养动物的论点,总会有人反对,我也不会为那些糟糕的、急需改善或关闭的动物园辩护)”可知,有人对于圈养持反对态度。但空格后一句“If even common species can lose a huge percentage of their populations in a few years, it may be too late to save them with even the best breeding programs or conservation efforts in the wild. (如果即使是普通物种也能在几年内失去大量的种群,那么即使是最好的繁殖计划或
138、野生保护措施也可能为时已晚)”可知,作者对于圈养是持支持态度的。由此可知,横线处存在转折关系。故F项But if we wish to keep any real measure of biodiversity on the planet, we may have to lean on zoos far more than many realize.(但是,如果我们想真正衡量地球上的生物多样性,我们可能不得不依赖动物园,这远远超出了许多人的认识)起到了转折关系,承上启下。故此题选F。IV.

While/Though/Although 75. enjoying【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了上海苏州河过去的污染和近些年来对它的治理和改造。【66题详解】考查一般过去时。句意:由于水污染,传染病在这一地区蔓延开来。这里在讲述过去发生的事情,句子用一般过去时,所给词spread的过去式是spread。故填spread。【67题详解】考查现在进行时的被动语态或现在完成时的被动语态。句意:这条曾经臭气熏天、疾病肆虐的河边正被改造成购物、散步和生活的新去处。句子主语The once-
150、smelly and disease-ridden riverside和make之间是被动关系,再根据句意可知句子用现在进行时的被动语态或现在完成时的被动语态。故填is being made /has been made。【68题详解】考查不定式。句意:它设施齐全,可以和巴黎的圣马丁运河(Canal Saint-Martin)一样,成为令人愉快的城市海滨。此处是 be +形容词+to do 的用法。故填to join。【69题详解】考查定语从句。句意:苏州河的修复始于1993年,当时一个污水处理厂开始运营。此处1993是先行词,在后面的非限制性定语从句中作时间状语。故填when。【70题详解】
151、考查现在分词的被动式作宾语补足语。句意:随着污水处理系统的不断升级,这条小溪的主流已清除了黑臭污染物。这里是with的独立主格结构“with+宾语+宾语补足语”,其中宾语the capabilities和upgrade之间是被动关系,且表示“正在被升级”,所以用现在分词的被动式作宾语补足语。故填being upgraded。【71题详解】考查介词。句意:在过去的六年里,整个系统的水质也通过清理城市的2000多条河流得到了极大的改善。介词短语:across/in the city“在城市中”,在句中作地点状语。故填across/in。【72题详解】考查情态动词。句意:在联合国第四届会议上发布的一
152、份报告称,125公里长的苏州河的全面清理工程是世界可以/应该效仿的榜样。情态动词can在肯定句中可以表示一种客观事实的“可能,可以”;情态动词should也可以表示对未来的预测或可能。故填can/should。【73题详解】考查形容词比较级。句意:它的目的是使小溪的海滨更吸引公众。此处inviting是形容词,意思是“有吸引力的”;清理河流就是为了让它对公众“更有吸引力”,结合上文,这里应该用形容词比较级。故填more inviting。【74题详解】考查让步状语从句。句意:虽然这当然是一个崇高的目标,但遗产倡导者担心,上海作为通商口岸的历史痕迹会在这个过程中被抹去。这里是While/Thou
153、gh/Although引导的让步状语从句,意思是“尽管,虽然”。置于句首,首字母大写。故填While/Though/Although。【75题详解】考查现在分词作伴随状语。句意:这意味着游客仍然可以从1911年的花园桥到1924年的邮局漫步苏州河,享受这座大都市年久失修的部分,尽管困难重重,但仍然保留了老上海的精髓。句中That means 是主句部分,宾语从句的主语visitors和enjoy之间是主动关系,是现在分词作伴随状语。故填enjoying。V.

157、 ;“鼓励某人做某事”是encourage sb.to do sth.,表示“积极参与”应用动词短语get actively involved in。故翻译为Experts say that parents (should) encourage their children to raise their awareness of getting actively involved in activities of different kinds。78. 思维方式因人而异,所以不要让我仓促做决定, 而是要给我一些时间。(rush v.)(汉译英)【答案】Way of thinking varie

159、,最后一小句实为祈使句,“给我一些时间”可运用动词allow,构成allow me some time。此外注意衔接词的使用,“所以”可用so,“而是”表转折,此处用instead衔接较为自然。综上,故翻译为:Way of thinking varies from person to person, so dont rush me into making a decision.
