55、词性物主代词。空白处所填词在句中修饰名词life，故用其形容词性物主代词形式。43practiced考查虚拟语气。该句使用了虚拟语气，表示与现在事实相反的假设，从句用一般过去时。44hating考查stop的用法。stop doing sth.意为“停止做某事”，符合语境。stop to do sth.意为“停下来去做某事”。45be transformed考查谓语动词的时态和语态。主语是谓语动词动作transform的承受者，需用被动语态；情态动词后接动词原形。第三部分写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节(满分15分)近年，青少年肥胖现象日益增多，并引起各种健康问题。你们的英语校报向全校征稿，讨
