38、pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on the side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, Hi, Skinny! Howd you like to be ducked?

The
46、 huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.” 我从小就害怕水。从我三岁开始，父亲带我去海滩。 巨浪把我击倒，席卷了我。由此可知，我是小时候和父亲一起去海滩的遭遇使我开始害怕水，故选C。【25题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But I was not frightened out of my wits-when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump, come out of the surface.

47、y strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards.” 但我并没有被吓得惊慌失措当我的脚碰到地的时候，我会做一个大的跳跃，跳出水面。好像有很长一段路要走。当我着陆时，我聚集了我所有的力量，做了一个我认为是一个巨大的向上的跳跃。可以推断出作者认为自己找到了向上跳出水面的方法，所以他没有害怕，故选D。【26题详解】句意猜测题。根据上文“Finally, I decided to get an instructor.

Forest bathing doesnt mean you take bath in the
65、 forest; rather, you simply go for a walk in the woods or a city park, where you slacken by using all your senses to experience nature.Yoshifumi Miyazaki, from Chiba University, is among a growing number of scientists who have begun studying the science behind the effects of nature on human health.
66、In his book Shinrin-yoku: The Japanese Art of Forest Bathing, Miyazaki explains the techniques of forest bathing.Miyazaki has an interesting theory about why shinrin-yoku is so effective. He points out that for more than 99.99% of the time, humans have lived in a natural environment. In fact, in 180
67、0, only 3% of the worlds population lived in cities, and by 2019, this figure reached 54%. This is only going to get worse; officials predict that by 2050, 66% will live in cities.This suggests we live in our modern society with bodies that are still used to the natural environment, he writes in the
68、 book, because “genes cannot change over just a few hundred years”. The science behind the research studies he presents in the book makes a convincing case that forest bathing is an effective method for reducing stress in todays world.Now city planners are becoming increasingly aware of the importan
69、ce of nature and are creating new kinds of “parks” out of empty spaces. Therere also more city gardens where people can grow vegetables. For kids, kitchen gardens in schools are becoming popular. As Miyazaki stresses, you dont have to find a formal park or garden to practice shinrin-yoku. Instead, y
70、ou can enjoy the effects of nature wherever therere plants.Better yet, he says, we can bring nature closer to where we spend most of our time. Miyazakis research has shown that just increasing the amount of plants in a room can affect the relaxation benefits of the room. Whats more, even when people
71、 simply look at flowers, their bodies relax and stress levels decrease.32. What does the underlined word in Paragraph mean?A. Behave.B. Entertain.C. Predict.D. Relax.33. How does the author mainly develop the third paragraph?A. By giving examples.B. By listing figures.C. By making remarks.D. By pres
72、enting research findings.34. Why does forest bathing work effectively according to Miyazaki?A. Human genes can change easily.B. Nature is part of the modern society.C. Human bodies are accustomed to nature.D. People can always calm down in nature.35. Which of the following will Miyazaki agree on for
73、est bathing?A. It is easy to operate.B. It is meant for gardeners.C. It is unaffordable in the city.D. It is inconvenient to practice.【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了日本一位科学家提出一种名为Shinrin- yoku的“森林浴”活动，因为增加与自然的接触对人的身心健康是有利的。【32题详解】词句猜测题。 分析“you simply go for a walk in the woods or a city
74、park, where you slacken by using all your senses to experience nature ”，可知，where引导定语从句，先行词为woods or parks， slacken为从句中谓语动词，此定语从句的意思是：在森林或者公园，通过用你的一切感官感受自然，可以slacken，再根据最后一句话“Whats more, even when people simply look at flowers, their bodies relax and stress levels decrease. ”，可知接触自然可以放松。再结合选项可知，slack
75、en的意思是“放松”，故选D项。【33题详解】推理判断题。第三段中为了说明城市人口占比的变化情况，列举了1800年、2019年及预测的2050年的百分比数值，使用的是列数字的说明方法。故选B项。【34题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“This suggests we live in our modern society with bodies that are still used to the natural environment, he writes in the book, because “genes cannot change over just a few hundred year
76、s”.可知，虽然我们生活在城市，但是身体还是习惯自然环境，而且基因中对于自然的适应性几百年里是不会变化的。而森林浴这种形式对身心健康有益，正是因为人类的身体还适应于生活在自然环境中。C选项 “人体适应于自然中”符合文意。故选C项。【35题详解】推理判断题。从最后一段可知，森林浴这一形式并不难做到，只要在房间里增加些植物就能奏效，甚至当人们看到花朵时压力都会下降。A选项“这操作起来很容易”符合文意。故选A项。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。You probably know that exerc

84、E【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章为读者推荐了在繁忙的日常生活中人们仍然可以采取的运动方式，以及对于运动过程的建议。【详解】1.根据下文Barbara的陈述可知，每个人的生活都非常繁忙，可能会有孩子，正在变老的父母，工作，伴侣等等需要处理的事情。可见能够抽出时间运动对于人们来说是一项巨大的挑战。又结合上文运动的好处，可知此处为一句表转折的句子。B项意为“但是找到时间更多地锻炼可能很有挑战性”。故选B。2.此段内容为对于走路以及使用计步器的建议。从或简单或高级的计步器开始记录下行走的每一步，都会使人得到很大的激励。这样才能越走越远。对应A选项中的Track your steps。A项意为“追
85、踪你的步数，因为这很有动力”。选项A切题，故选A。3.此段讲的是久坐的危害。故选项中仅有D选项提及站立或久坐的问题，能够与上下文相连。D项意为“专家建议使用至少一段时间的站立式办公桌”。故选D。4.本段讲述了对于跑步的建议及好处。根据后文“then, go for longer distances gradually.”（然后，慢慢地走更远的距离）可知前面应该为提出慢慢循序渐进的建议。F选项与文意相符。F项意为“一些专家建议慢跑和走路开始轮番交替”，即为可自主选择从慢跑或是走路开始，慢慢一点点加速。故选F。5.本题要抓好本段的主题词 make it a habit. habit非常重要，因为E
86、选项的brushing your teeth, build.into都是论证habit的，E项意为“就像刷牙一样，你不得不把锻炼融入生活”切题。故选E。第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。As our Earths temperature warms up because of climate change, it is having unexpected effects on our worlds forests.

120、 she wobbled(颤颤巍巍）in high heels along the side of the highway. The car had come to an unexpected stop,and like a teenager she did the only thing she could think of.get out and walk.It was cold and late,and home was far away. This could be a long night. If.only someone would stop and offer her a ride
121、. She prayed for help and dragged herself forward.The lights of a truck shone from behind as it approached. “Maybe he will stop, she hoped. The brake lights flashed on as it stopped. Next instant, the cab door opened. A wordless invitation was extended and she understood. Without hesitation the girl
122、 climbed up into the cab and closed the door. Slowly the truck pulled back onto the road and disappeared into the night, never to be seen again.I woke up in a cold sweat, alarmed. Was that a dream or was it a vision? It was unbelievably real, and the girl was my daughter! I jumped from my bed and ra
123、n to her room. Her bed was empty.I stood in horror trying to think why she had not come home. As the mental fog began to lift,I remembered she was visiting her friend that evening. Perhaps she stayed there for the night. It was 1:30 a.m.,but I raced to the phone and dialed a number.“Hello?”The voice
124、 was heavy with sleep.“Hey. Sorry to wake you. Becki didnt come home tonight and I was wondering if she stayed at your place?“No,she left here a few hours ago. She should have been home at least by midnight!” The voice on the other end began to reflect my own panic.Over the next forty-five minutes I

127、er tightly. The dream was just too real and I could hardly believe I was now having my daughter in my hug. I wondered if it was because my pray was answered. Then through my blurred vision(模糊的视野）I saw a lady stepping out of the car.“Mom, she gave me a ride home.Becki said. “My car broke down on the
128、highway and without her help, I would never have made it home in my high heels. she continued, exposing her blistered(起泡的）ankles.

129、ted her inside. Now,I was definitely grateful to her for extending a helping hand.【解析】【分析】这是一篇读后续写。【详解】读后续写要求考生首先要读懂已有信息，不仅能读懂字面含义，还要理清文章的脉络。续篇这篇短文时，考生要搞清楚故事的发展进程、前因后果、地理位置、人物思想情感的变化等。在此基础上，考生要顺着文章的思路，根据线索，发挥想象，对其后的情节进行合理预测，并用语言表达出来。文章讲述了作者梦到自己的女儿在高速路上打车的场景。醒来后发现女儿真的不在家，而且作者从女儿的朋友处确认她已经离开，本该最迟在午夜回到家
130、。作者很担心，在家里焦急地踱步。后来发现有车停靠近家的方向，但不是女儿的车。根据所给第一段的开头“My face pressed against the window and I found it hard.to breathe.”我把脸凑在窗户边去看，感觉很难呼吸，可知，后面可以接着写：车最终在作者家门口停下来，作者的女儿从车里出来，毫发无损。作者松了口气，并告诉了女儿她的噩梦。在与女儿谈话时，作者注意到了车里的女人。根据所给第二段的开头“ Mom, she gave me a ride home. Becki said.” Becki说“妈妈，她是开车送我回家的人。”可知，后面可以接着写：
131、作者女儿给她解释坐别人车回来的原因，以及事情的经过。作者看到女儿受伤的脚踝很心痛，同时邀请女士进屋，对她帮助女儿的行为表示感谢。【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了一些复杂句式和高级语法，例如：The car pulled in front of the house, and out of it emerged my precious daughter, making her way up the steps. 中 out of it表示地点的介词短语放在句子开头，后面句子用了全倒装；用making现在分词作状语。I wondered if it was because my pray was answered.中if引导宾语从句，because引导表语从句；My car broke down on the highway and without her help, I would never have made it home in my high heels.中用了虚拟语气。
