62、办公室,采用开放的办公空间。由此可推知,画线单词意为消除,排除。3.推理判断题。根据第四段可知,一些公司为了给予员工足够大的活动空间,考虑采用一些具体措施,如:原本供12人使用的会议室只坐6人;接待室的椅子之间的距离更大等。由此可推知,该段建议在办公场所安排新的座位布局。4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Workplaces may also have big changes in the future可知,相较于上文列举的可以立刻执行的工作场所的改变,该段讲述了短期内无法实现的改变,其中包括使用特殊的建筑材料来减少病毒的扩散。C答案：1-4.CBDA解析：1.词义猜测题。根据第二段中的I wa

70、我们如果搬去一个陌生的地方或者变得年老时,这一点可能不容易实现。紧接着下文告诉我们在这种情况下,其他的社交方式也可以,比如参加志愿活动。本空为本段的主题向。空后的these activities指的是E项中提到的activities that give life meaning。第二部分语言知识运用第一节答案：1-5.ADBAC; 6-10.BCBAC; 11-15.DACBC解析：1.根据上一句These were the unappealing vegetables that sat on the edge of my plate.可知是说这些蔬菜不好吃、令人厌恶。disgusting令人
71、厌恶的;delicious美味的;ripen成熟的;sweet甜的。2.句意:有那么多好吃的食物,为什么还吃那些难吃的蔬菜呢?buy买;prepare准备;offer提供;enjoy享受。根据there were so many other delicious treats可知是美味在前,是享受。3.句意:从那以后,我的味蕾就变化了,我还充分意识到了吃新鲜蔬菜对健康的益处。appear出现,显现;develop开发,发展,(使)成长,变化;exist存在;shrink收缩,缩水。4.根据上一句benefits of eating fresh vegetables可知,是时刻提醒记住这些绿色超级
72、食品给我们的身体带来的惊人益处。remind提醒;inform通知;warn警告;talk谈论。5.句意:在英国,世界卫生组织为鼓励人们每天吃5份果蔬而发起的宣传活动已经进行了好多年。分析句意可知,这种宣传活动进行了好多年。只有run才有运转,运行之意。6.根据前面的内容可知是说人们每天至少食用5份80g的水果和蔬菜才会对健康有很大益处。need需要;benefit益处,利益;issue问题;risk危险。7.句意:部分原因是我爱吃甜食,而且觉得蔬菜很无味。have a sweet tooth为固定搭配,表示喜欢甜食。tendency倾向;趋势;preference偏爱,优先权;tooth牙齿
73、;appetite欲望,胃口。8.根据上句vegetables are, well, tasteless可知因为蔬菜无味,人们不喜欢吃,因此研究人员一直在研究如何让蔬菜更具吸引力。appropriate合适的,恰当的;attractive有吸引力的;beneficial有益的;independent独立的。故选B项。9.根据下一句可知,是我们对食物的选择。choice选择;value价值;waste废物;judgment判断。10.句意:他们分析了我们选择食物时的心理,发现大部分人都是受味道的驱使。confuse迷惑;disturb打扰;motivate使有动机,促进,激发;challenge

75、名听起来确实很诱人,虽然尝起来像是胡萝卜。look看起来;smell闻起来;taste 尝起来;feel摸起来。第二节答案：physically; simply; asleep; as; different; regularly; stressed; frequently; funny; important解析：本文对梦游这一现象做了简要介绍。空格处所填单词修饰形容词active,故用副词形式。空格处所填单词修饰短语动词sit up,故用副词形式。此处用形容词做表语,表示状态。asleep的意思是睡着的。as long as.的意思是长达之久。空格处所填单词修饰名词rooms,故用形容词形式。
76、空格处所填单词修饰动词sleepwalk,故用副词形式。此处用形容词做表语。stressed的意思是焦虑。空格处所填单词修饰动词occurs,故用副词形式。此处用形容词做表语。funny的意思是好笑的。空格处所填单词修饰名词thing,故用形容词形式。第三部分写作第一节答案：Green life at home Green lifestyle is becoming increasingly popular nowadays as it can help to reduce pollution and save energy.

81、s later I still drive that winding road to the same school. My boss and I always sit together, talking about the new students and their problems. In fact, he becomes my teacher by teaching me the truth of education. The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil. Thanks to the help I received from him that first year, I have grown as a successful educator as he is now.
