28、梯田。根据分析句子，“rainwater”为主语，设空处为谓语。根据上文“is”及语意，可知此处时态应为一般现在时。主语rainwater不可数，谓语用单数形式。故填moves。【20题详解】考查定语从句。句意：这些梯田也为鸟类和鱼类提供了完美的环境，其中一些以危害水稻作物的昆虫为食。根据分析句子，此处应为定语从句。设空处在从句中作主语，且先行词为insects，应填that/which。故填that/which。第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，38分）第一节（共14小题；每小题2分，共28分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AImmers

53、its final approach and, guided by the headlights, landed safely. （救护直升机在前灯的指引下完成了最后的着陆）”可推知，因为机场跑道的灯熄灭了，医疗救护直升机无法安全着陆，最后在前灯的指引下完成了最后的着陆。故选C项。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第六段“Nelson had a plan.

The researchers focused on two main categories of pro-environmental behaviors: reduced consumption, which includes actions like re

The researchers also looked at how engaging in pro-environmental behaviors affects consumer well-being.More materialistic participants, the researchers found, were unlikely t
58、o engage in reduced consumption. However, materialism did not seem to have an effect on their likelihood of practicing “green buying.” Thats probably because “green buying,” unlike reduced consumption, still offers a way for materialists to fulfill their desire to get new items, Helm said.Study part

Consuming less was, in turn, linked to higher personal well-being and lower psychological suffering. Green buyingwhich may have some positive environmental effects, although to a smaller d

Examining financial behaviors alongside pro-environmental behaviors provides a picture of how young adults proactively deal with resource limitations in two contexts: environmental and financial, Helm said.As expec

The researchers also found that, consistent with previous studies, proactive financial behaviors were associat

However,

They are a cause of climate change.B. They lead to a more satisfying life.C. They vary in different age groups.
66、D. They are affected by materialism.28.

70、duced consumption. However, materialism did not seem to have an effect on their likelihood of practicing “green buying.”（更崇尚物质的参与者不太可能减少消费。然而，物质主义似乎对他们进行“绿色购买”的可能性没有影响。）可知，物质主义者不太可能减少消费，但他们愿意 “绿色购买”。故选B项。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第四自然段中“Consuming less was, in turn, linked to higher personal well-being and lowe
71、r psychological suffering.”（反之，消费越少，个人幸福感越高，心理痛苦越少。）可知不崇尚物质，消费少的个体幸福感更高，因此“Being careful with expenses”也就是精打细算的人更幸福。故选D项。【30题详解】推理判断题。在末段尾句“However, she acknowledges that for many consumers, shifting behaviors to be more financially proactive and consume less will be challenging.”（不过，她也承认，对许多消费者来说，改

In nature, this unsung group of native plants is limited to riparian zones, the narrow belts of green along water bodies, but if consumers demand them, nurseries will increasingly carry these riparian species, and the presence of such plants in the garden will provide for ma
80、ny animals including not just butterflies and their relatives but also colorful birds. The ideal garden would offer a combination of drought-tolerant native plants and a few species that need a little more water, providing options for little guests and the bigger ones that will come to eat them. As
81、more creatures stop by to share our yards, we will be making nature, and us all, a little healthier.31. What do we know about insect species?A. They have an impact on the diversity of plants.B. They disappear because of lack of nature reserves.C. They decrease partly due to our pursuit for perfectio

The underlined phrase “disenchanted with” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _.A. sick ofB. addicted toC. concerned aboutD. impatient with33. The passage mainly talks about _.A. why we need grow native plants in gardensB. how garden

CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point C: ConclusionA. B. C. D. 【答案】31. C 32. A 33. B 34. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了园艺如何帮助大自然保持其
84、生物多样性。【31题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段的“Adding to the problem, our obsession (痴迷) with perfection leads us to use a lot of pesticides.”可知，更令人困扰的是，因为人们追求完美从而使用了大量的杀虫剂。再由第二段的“These actions are part of the reason global biodiversity is crashing. ”可知，这些行动一定程度上减少了全球生物多样性。因此，昆虫种类的减少的部分原因是人们追求完美。故选C。【32题详解】词句猜测题。根据上一句中的
85、“Xeriscapes leave many gardeners thirsting for green, and theres an important alternative that has been largely ignored. ”可知，节水型园艺使许多园丁渴望获得绿色，并且有一种重要的替代方法已被很大程度上忽略。再由划线句子中的“using underappreciated and water-loving native plants to make your garden a real-life oasis could be lifesaving to wildlife”可知，
86、使用价值不高且喜欢水的本土植物使你的花园成为真实的绿洲可能会挽救野生动植物的生命。这种做法即是被人们忽视的，产生的结果便是园艺渴望获得绿色，即他们“讨厌”干旱环境，因此划线部分意为“不喜欢，讨厌”。故选A。【33题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The ideal garden would offer a combination of drought-tolerant native plants and a few species that need a little more water, providing options for little guests and the bigger
87、ones that will come to eat them. As more creatures stop by to share our yards, we will be making nature, and us all, a little healthier.”可知，理想的花园要提供耐旱的本地植物和一些需要更多水的物种，为大大小小的昆虫提供觅食选择。随着越来越多的生物来到我们的花园，我们将使大自然（包括人类本身）变得更加健康。因此文章主要谈论的是园艺如何帮助大自然保持其生物多样性。故选B。【34题详解】推理判断题。文章第一段指出植物以及依赖它们的昆虫是我们星球的生命基础，但这个基础
88、目前的状况并不乐观，并指出了造成这种情况的原因，这是中心观点；第二段举例说明全球生物多样性减少，并引出下文的解决措施；第三段开始讲解决问题的措施，提出了减少农药的使用；第四段和第五段谈的是节水措施；最后一段提出了理想的花园要有耐旱的本地植物和一些需要更多水的植物，就此得出结论，即人们要帮助大自然保持其生物多样性，因此文章的结构应为D项。故选D。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。If you text often, you likely have a “texting style”.

97、 text as negative.【答案】35. F 36. G 37. C 38. E 39. A【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些发信息的风格，通过这些不同的风格，可以让你了解一些关于你个性方面的信息。【35题详解】下文 “To make sure the other person doesnt get the wrong idea about your messages, you make sure to express the tone of messages with an emoji, which can be often used as effective signals
98、in modern social communication. (为了确保对方不会误解你的信息，你一定要用表情符号来表达信息的语气，这种表情符号在现代社会交际中经常被用作有效的信号) ”提到为了让对方准确理解你的信息，会用表情符号来表达信息的语气，表达自己的感受，这说明要让收到信息的人知道你所表达的感受，所以选项F“你想让别人知道你发信息时的感受”符合语境，故选F。【36题详解】上文“If you like to respond in one-word texts like a quick “Good”, then you most likely have a more reserved pe
99、rsonality, and arent as open with your true thoughts and feelings. (如果你喜欢像“好”这样一个词的文本回复，那么你很可能有一个相对更保守的个性，而不是公开表达你的真实想法和感受) ”以及“But be careful. (但是你要小心)”提到，你个性保守，回复简单，但是要小心。那么下文会提到你要小心的原因，所以选项G“如果你发短信给另一个个性不同的人，他们可能会认为你的短信是消极的”也就是别人可能并不认为你是保守而是消极，故选G。【37题详解】上文“Simply placing a period at the end of s
100、entences in texts can make you come across as untrustworthy to others. (简单地在文本信息中的句子末尾用一个句号，你会发现别人会认为你不可信)”提到发信息不注意标点会让人觉得你不可信。选项C“这类文本也可能被评为不如那些没有标点的真诚”，是对上文内容的进一步说明，都提到了标点的问题，选项中less sincere对应上文untrustworthy，故选C。【38题详解】上文“Are your texts lengthy and thoughtful? (你的信息很长而且是经过深思熟虑的吗？)”提到了发短信的一种特点，此空应该
101、是表达这样短信的特点反应你的性格特点，下文“Similar to someone who texts with perfect grammar, you are a thoughtful and detail-oriented person, who enjoys deep conversations and likes things that are controlled and stable. (和那些用完美语法发短信的人一样，你是一个有思想、注重细节的人，喜欢深入的交谈，喜欢有控制、稳定的事情)”详细介绍了这种短信特点所反应的个性，选项E“你是那种理解语境重要性的人”符合上下文的逻辑，故
102、选E。【39题详解】根据上文段落句首特点，可知此空应是一般疑问句。答案在选项A和B之间选择。下文“Which texting personality are you? Are you a mix of several types? (你是哪种发短信的个性？你是几种类型的混合体吗？)”提到根据上文的几种短信类型的介绍，你判断自己的类型，所以选项A“你和这些发短信的个性有关系吗？”符合逻辑，故选A。第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分）第一节 阅读表达（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分， 共12分）。阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。Is it better for ou
