Bert Katz, my father-in-law, celebrated his 90th birthday in November 2016. Bert loved sports and was an enthusiastic Yankees ( an American professional baseball team based in the New York City ) fan, so it was no wonder that over the years, he was an avid (热切的）listener to WFAN radio and, in particular, the afternoon show hosted by Mike Francesa.
Bert had health issues in his later years that limited his mobility, and when he lost his eyesight three years ago, his attachment to his radio and Francesa became more pronounced. He just loved listening to Mike talk about sports and his Yankees each afternoon. Those hours brought him so much pleasure.
Of course, Mike will be leaving Dec. 15, 2017 after 30 years at the station. Mike lives in the same community where I work on Long Island, and I have gotten to know him over the past 20 years. So when my father-in-law was approaching his special birthday the year before last year, I asked Mike for a favor: to call Bert and wish him a happy birthday.
Mike agreed without hesitation. Two days before the special day, Mike stopped at my workplace. I called Bert at his nursing home and put Mike on the phone. It was a complete surprise to Bert. Mike spent more than 10 minutes wishing Bert a happy birthday, and of course, talking about the Yankees.
When my family celebrated Bert’s birthday two days later, he couldn’t stop talking about the phone call. Over his lifetime, he said it was one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for him.
Unfortunately, Bert’s health declined last year and he passed away July 13, 2017. But even in his final months in the hospital and nursing home, he always had a radio set to WFAN to listen each afternoon to Mike Francesa. And he also had the memory of that special phone call for his 90th birthday.
4. What habit did Bert keep for years
A. Playing baseball.
B. Listening to a sports program.
C. Checking his eyesight regularly.
D. Leading organized cheering for the Yankees.
5. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in Paragraph 2 mean

C. Important. D. Understandable.
6. What word can describe the author
A. Honest. B. Caring.
C. Patient. D. Independent.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. A special gift. B. The call finally arrived.
C. The big dream came true. D. An unforgettable birthday party.
C
To walk is to be human. We' re the only creature that gets around by standing up and putting one foot in front of the other. In the more than 4 million years that humanity' s ancestors have been using only two legs for walking, our ability to walk upright has allowed humankind to travel great distances and survive changing climates, environments and landscapes.
But walking is more than just transportation. It also happens to be really good for us. Countless scientific studies have found that this simple act can provide a number of health benefits and help people live longer. In fact, a walking routine-if done properly-might be the only exercise people need.
How much walking should one aim for You’ve likely heard we need 10,000 steps a day. That’s about 5 miles. But contrary to popular belief, this recommendation doesn’t come from science. Instead, it stems from a 1960s advertising campaign to promote a pedometer(计步器)in Japan. Perhaps because it's a round number and easy to remember, it stuck.
Since the 1960s, researchers have studied the 10,000 - steps - a - day standard and have turned up mixed results. Although 10,000 steps is certainly a healthy and worthwhile goal, it’s not a one - size - fits - all recommendation.
For instance, a recent Harvard University study involving more than 16,000 senior women found that those who got at least 4,400 steps a day greatly reduced their risk of dying early when compared with less active women. The study also noted that these benefits continued up to 7, 500 steps before leveling off. This 7,500 mark isn't surprising: It’s in line with common public health recommendations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate (适度的) physical activity a week for adults.
Research has shown that picking up the pace might be a good idea too---fast enough to raise your heart rate, even if just for a short burst.
8. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. A walking routine B. The popular belief
C. A round number D. The pedometer Ads.
9. How much walking should one aim for according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
A. 4400 steps a day. B. 150 minutes a day. C. 10,000 steps a day. D. 7,500 steps a day.
10. Which statement will the author believe
A Walking 10000 steps a day fits us all who lack exercise.
B. The benefits of walking depend on frequency, intensity and duration
C. To be healthy, walking great distances is strongly suggested
D. Walking is the only exercise that unhealthy people need.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. The Only Exercise You Need-Walking
B. Walking Is One Of The Best Exercises For Health
C. 10,000 - Step Goal Is More Marketing Than Science
D. Walk Often, Walk Fast And Walk Long
D
We have all experienced the force of gravity. It is what happens to you when you jump up into the air. Disappointingly, we tend to fall right back down to the ground. But what if we could switch gravity off What will happen if the gravity vanishes
Buckey, an astronomer, says that our bodies are adapted to an Earth-like gravitational environment. If we spend time living where gravity is different, such as on board a space station, our bodies change.
It is now an established fact that astronauts lose bone mass and muscle strength in space, and their sense of balance changes due to the absence of gravity. There are also other problems. For reasons not entirely clear, their red blood cell count falls. Wounds take longer to heal and the immune system loses its strength. Even sleep is disturbed if gravity is weak or absent.
That is just what happens after a short visit to space. “What if you were to grow up without gravity ” Buckey asks. “What about the systems that depend on gravity like your muscles, or your balance system, or your heart and blood vessels ” There is good reason to believe the human body would develop differently.
Karen Masters has explored the immediate physical consequences of losing gravity. The first problem is that Earth is rotating at high speed. Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans, rivers and lakes would be one of the first things to drift away into space. A lack of gravity would eventually destroy our very planet, writes Masters. “Earth itself would most likely break apart into pieces and float off into space.”
A similar fate would happen to the Sun. Without the force of gravity to hold it together, the intense pressures at its core would cause it to burst open in an explosion. The same thing would happen to all the other stars in the Universe. However, because they are so far away, it would be years before the light from their death reached you.
12. What effects will the lack of gravity have on astronauts
A. Their sense of balance will lose. B. Their immune system won’t work.
C. Their wound will no longer heal. D. Their red blood cell count will decrease.
13. What will happen if gravity stops working according to Karen Masters
A. Human body on Earth will develop differently.
B. Earth will rotate at its highest speed.
C. Atmosphere and water on Earth will travel away into space.
D. Earth will break down into pieces and float off into space.
14. What may happen to the Sun after we lose gravity
A. It will hold the Universe together.
B. The pressure of its core may lead to its burst.
C. The light from its death will reach Earth quickly.
D. Its core will drift away into space.
15. Where can we most probably read the passage
A In a science magazine.
B. In a guidebook.
C. In a short story.
D. In an environment report.

If you're anything like the typical human, then you have dreams and goals in your life. ____16____ We always focus on the end goal that we want to achieve and the deadline we want to do it by. The problem with this is that if we don’t magically hit the timeline that we set in the beginning, then we feel like a failure.
In my experience, instead of giving yourself a deadline to accomplish a particular goal by, you should choose a goal that is important to you and then set a schedule to work towards it consistently.
___17___ Back in August 2012, I decided that I wanted to do 100 push-ups in a row with strict form. When I tried it the first time, I only got 36. In the past, I might have set a deadline for myself: "Do 100 push-ups by December3lst.” _____18_____ I started doing push-up workouts every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. So far, the only workouts I’ ve missed were on long travel days. I have no total push-up goal for any single workout. The goal is to do the workout simply. _____19_____
In this case, I' ve made consistent progress towards my goal not by setting a deadline for my performance, but by sticking to a schedule.
So, want to be the type of person who accomplishes things on a consistent basis ____20____ This is a lesson I have learned from my own experience.
A. In this way, I believe I will set my goal.
B. Instead, I decided to set a schedule for my workouts
C. Give yourself a schedule to follow，not a deadline to race towards
D. I can’t predict when my body feels like setting a new personal record.
E. Allow me to explain this by using one real example from my own life.
F. The result is that after doing 77 push-up workouts I' ve made a lot of progress.
G. But when it comes to setting goals, there is one common mistake we often make.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一 篇完整的短文。
I was still a thief when I met Anil. And though only 15, I was an experienced and fairly successful hand.
Anil was about 25—a tall, thin fellow—and he looked easy-going, kind and simple enough for my purpose. I might be able to get into his confidence.
I gave him my most appealing smile. “I want to work for you.” I said.
“But I can't pay you”
Perhaps I had misjudged the man. I asked, “Can you feed me ”
“Can you cook ”
“I can cook.” I lied.
“If you can cook, then I can feed you.”
The meal I cooked that night must have been terrible because Anil gave it to a stray dog and old me to be off. But I just hung around smiling in my most appealing way, and he couldn't help laughing.
Later he patted me on the head and said never mind, he'd teach me to cook. He also taught me to write my name and said he would soon teach me to write whole sentences and to add numbers. I was grateful. I knew that once I could write like an educated man there would be no limit to what I could achieve.
One evening he came home with a small bundle of notes, saying he had just sold a book to a publisher. At night, I saw him put the money under the mattress (床垫).
It's time I did some real work, I told myself. After all, he doesn't even pay me.
Anil was asleep. I crept up to the bed. Anil was sleeping peacefully. My hand slid under the mattress, searching for the notes. When I found them, I drew them out without a sound. Anil sighed in his sleep and turned on his side, towards me. I was frightened and quickly crawled out of the room.
I began to run, holding the notes by the string of my pajamas (睡衣). But I slowed down and sat down in the shelter of the clock tower. I should go back to Anil, I told myself, if only to learn to read and write.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
I hurried back to the room feeling very nervous.

【点睛】任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的，都跟句子所在的段落及整整篇文章有关。利用上下文提供的情景和线索，特别是要抓住所需推断词汇前后的内容推断词义。本题第2小题，根据第二段中Bert had health issues in his later years that limited his mobility, and when he lost his eyesight three years ago, his attachment to his radio and Francesa became more pronounced. Bert晚年的健康问题限制了他的行动能力，当他三年前失明后，他对收音机和Francesa的依恋变得更加明显。由此推知，划线词的意思是“明显的，显而易见的”。故选A。
C
To walk is to be human. We' re the only creature that gets around by standing up and putting one foot in front of the other. In the more than 4 million years that humanity' s ancestors have been using only two legs for walking, our ability to walk upright has allowed humankind to travel great distances and survive changing climates, environments and landscapes.
But walking is more than just transportation. It also happens to be really good for us. Countless scientific studies have found that this simple act can provide a number of health benefits and help people live longer. In fact, a walking routine-if done properly-might be the only exercise people need.
How much walking should one aim for You’ve likely heard we need 10,000 steps a day. That’s about 5 miles. But contrary to popular belief, this recommendation doesn’t come from science. Instead, it stems from a 1960s advertising campaign to promote a pedometer(计步器)in Japan. Perhaps because it's a round number and easy to remember, it stuck.
Since the 1960s, researchers have studied the 10,000 - steps - a - day standard and have turned up mixed results. Although 10,000 steps is certainly a healthy and worthwhile goal, it’s not a one - size - fits - all recommendation.
For instance, a recent Harvard University study involving more than 16,000 senior women found that those who got at least 4,400 steps a day greatly reduced their risk of dying early when compared with less active women. The study also noted that these benefits continued up to 7, 500 steps before leveling off. This 7,500 mark isn't surprising: It’s in line with common public health recommendations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate (适度的) physical activity a week for adults.
Research has shown that picking up the pace might be a good idea too---fast enough to raise your heart rate, even if just for a short burst.
8. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. A walking routine B. The popular belief
C. A round number D. The pedometer Ads.
9. How much walking should one aim for according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
A. 4,400 steps a day. B. 150 minutes a day. C. 10,000 steps a day. D. 7,500 steps a day.
10. Which statement will the author believe
A. Walking 10000 steps a day fits us all who lack exercise.
B. The benefits of walking depend on frequency, intensity and duration
C. To be healthy, walking great distances is strongly suggested
D. Walking is the only exercise that unhealthy people need.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. The Only Exercise You Need-Walking
B. Walking Is One Of The Best Exercises For Health
C. 10,000 - Step Goal Is More Marketing Than Science
D. Walk Often, Walk Fast And Walk Long
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章驳斥了“每天一万步”的普遍认识，进而提出了新的研究结果，指导人们如何进行日常体育锻炼。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“You’ve likely heard we need 10,000 steps a day. That’s about 5 miles. But contrary to popular belief, this recommendation doesn’t come from science. (你可能曾经听说过每天一万步的说法。但与人们这一普遍的观念相反，这个推荐的每天步行距离的概念却并非来源于真实的科学研究。)”可知，划线部分的指示代词指代的是前文提到的人们关于每天一万步运动的观念。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“The study also noted that these benefits continued up to 7, 500 steps before leveling off. This 7,500 mark isn't surprising:It’s in line with common public health recommendations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate (适度的) physical activity a week for adults. (该项研究表明，这些益处直到运动强度递增至每天7500步都会持续存在。但更高强度的运动量则不会有变化，这个7500的指标并不奇怪：这与普遍的公共健康指导建议相符，比如疾病预防与控制中心给出的每周成年人150分钟的适度体力运动)”可知，疾病控制与预防中心给出的关于日均步行的运动建议为：每个成年人每周应进行至少150分钟的适量运动，每天走7500步符合该指导意见。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Research has shown that picking up the pace might be a good idea, too-fast enough to raise your heart rate, even if just for a short burst.（研究表明，加快步伐可能是一个好主意，速度快到足以提高你的心率，即使只是短暂的爆发）”可知，步行的好处取决于频率、强度和持续时间。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“You’ve likely heard we need 10,000 steps a day. That’s about 5 miles. But contrary to popular belief, this recommendation doesn’t come from science. Instead, it stems from a 1960s advertising campaign to promote a pedometer(计步器)in Japan. Perhaps because it's a round number and easy to remember, it stuck. (你可能曾经听说过每天一万步的说法。但与人们这一普遍的观念相反，这个推荐的每天步行距离的概念却并非来源于真实的科学研究。相反，它源于上世纪60年代日本为推广一种计步器而进行的广告宣传活动。也许是因为它是一个整数，而且容易记住，所以就固定下来了。)”和第四段“ Although 10,000 steps is certainly a healthy and worthwhile goal, it’s not a one - size - fits - all recommendation.（虽然一万步确实是一个健康且有价值的目标，但它并不是一个适合所有人的建议）”可知，作者首先在文章开始，肯定了步行对人类健康的意义，但笔锋一转，驳斥了有关的“每天一万步”的运动建议，指出该说法纯属是市场商业行为，并非对每个人都适用。 “一万步的目标更多的是营销而不是科学”最适合作文章标题。故选C项。
D
We have all experienced the force of gravity. It is what happens to you when you jump up into the air. Disappointingly, we tend to fall right back down to the ground. But what if we could switch gravity off What will happen if the gravity vanishes
Buckey, an astronomer, says that our bodies are adapted to an Earth-like gravitational environment. If we spend time living where gravity is different, such as on board a space station, our bodies change.
It is now an established fact that astronauts lose bone mass and muscle strength in space, and their sense of balance changes due to the absence of gravity. There are also other problems. For reasons not entirely clear, their red blood cell count falls. Wounds take longer to heal and the immune system loses its strength. Even sleep is disturbed if gravity is weak or absent.
That is just what happens after a short visit to space. “What if you were to grow up without gravity ” Buckey asks. “What about the systems that depend on gravity like your muscles, or your balance system, or your heart and blood vessels ” There is good reason to believe the human body would develop differently.
Karen Masters has explored the immediate physical consequences of losing gravity. The first problem is that Earth is rotating at high speed. Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans, rivers and lakes would be one of the first things to drift away into space. A lack of gravity would eventually destroy our very planet, writes Masters. “Earth itself would most likely break apart into pieces and float off into space.”
A similar fate would happen to the Sun. Without the force of gravity to hold it together, the intense pressures at its core would cause it to burst open in an explosion. The same thing would happen to all the other stars in the Universe. However, because they are so far away, it would be years before the light from their death reached you.
12. What effects will the lack of gravity have on astronauts
A. Their sense of balance will lose. B. Their immune system won’t work.
C. Their wound will no longer heal. D. Their red blood cell count will decrease.
13. What will happen if gravity stops working according to Karen Masters
A. Human body on Earth will develop differently.
B. Earth will rotate at its highest speed.
C. Atmosphere and water on Earth will travel away into space.
D. Earth will break down into pieces and float off into space.
14. What may happen to the Sun after we lose gravity
A. It will hold the Universe together.
B. The pressure of its core may lead to its burst.
C. The light from its death will reach Earth quickly.
D. Its core will drift away into space.
15. Where can we most probably read the passage
A. In a science magazine.
B. In a guidebook.
C. In a short story.
D. In an environment report.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了重力的影响。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans, rivers and lakes would be one of the first things to drift away into space.”（地球的大气、海洋、河流和湖泊将是最先漂向太空的东西之一）由此可知，根据凯伦·马斯特斯的说法，如果重力停止作用，地球上的大气和水将飘向太空。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“A similar fate would happen to the Sun. Without the force of gravity to hold it together, the intense pressures at its core would cause it to burst open in an explosion.”（类似的命运也会发生在太阳身上。没有重力将其凝聚在一起，其核心的巨大压力会导致它在爆炸中爆裂开来）由此可知，失去重力后太阳的核心的压力可能导致爆炸。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“We have all experienced the force of gravity. It is what happens to you when you jump up into the air. Disappointingly, we tend to fall right back down to the ground. But what if we could switch gravity off What will happen if the gravity vanishes ”（我们都经历过地心引力。它是当你跳向空中时发生的事情。令人失望的是，我们往往会跌回地面。但如果我们能关掉重力呢 如果引力消失了会发生什么 ）以及下文介绍了重力的影响可知，我们最可能在科学杂志上读到该短文。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。
If you're anything like the typical human, then you have dreams and goals in your life. ____16____ We always focus on the end goal that we want to achieve and the deadline we want to do it by. The problem with this is that if we don’t magically hit the timeline that we set in the beginning, then we feel like a failure.
In my experience, instead of giving yourself a deadline to accomplish a particular goal by, you should choose a goal that is important to you and then set a schedule to work towards it consistently.
___17___ Back in August 2012, I decided that I wanted to do 100 push-ups in a row with strict form. When I tried it the first time, I only got 36. In the past, I might have set a deadline for myself: "Do 100 push-ups by December3lst.” _____18_____ I started doing push-up workouts every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. So far, the only workouts I’ ve missed were on long travel days. I have no total push-up goal for any single workout. The goal is to do the workout simply. _____19_____
In this case, I' ve made consistent progress towards my goal not by setting a deadline for my performance, but by sticking to a schedule.
So, want to be the type of person who accomplishes things on a consistent basis ____20____ This is a lesson I have learned from my own experience.
A. In this way, I believe I will set my goal.
B. Instead, I decided to set a schedule for my workouts
C. Give yourself a schedule to follow，not a deadline to race towards
D. I can’t predict when my body feels like setting a new personal record.
E. Allow me to explain this by using one real example from my own life.
F. The result is that after doing 77 push-up workouts I' ve made a lot of progress.
G. But when it comes to setting goals, there is one common mistake we often make.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. B 19. F 20. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。作者通过自己的经验，讲述我们总是关注我们想要实现的最终目标和我们想要实现的最后期限，总是有挫败感，应该给自己一个要遵循的时间表，而不是只有最后期限。
【16题详解】
空前“If you're anything like the typical human, then you have dreams and goals in your life.(如果你是一个平常人，那么你的生活中就有梦想和目标)”说到目标和梦想，空后“We always focus on the end goal that we want to achieve and the deadline we want to do it by.(我们总是关注我们想要实现的最终目标和我们想要实现它的最后期限。)”说到我们常常只关注最后的目标和期限，可知空中应填转折句，G项句首的But是关键词，G项“但当涉及到设定目标时，我们经常会犯一个常见的错误”与上文是转折关系，引出下文对这个错误的解释。故选G。
【17题详解】
第二段“In my experience…”提到笔者自己的经验，空后“Back in August 2012, I decided that I wanted to do 100 push-ups in a row with strict form. When I tried it the first time, I only got 36.( 早在2012年8月，我就决定以严格的形式连续做100个俯卧撑。当我第一次尝试的时候，我只做了36个)”开始举例，可知此空该选E项“允许我举一个自己真实的例子来说明”，符合题意，故选E。
【18题详解】
本题考查前后文对比。前句“In the past, I might have set a deadline for myself: "Do 100 push-ups by December3lst.”(在过去，我可能会为自己设定一个最后期限：“在12月3日之前做100个俯卧撑。”)”提到笔者以前直接计划最后期限，下文“I started doing push-up workouts every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. So far, the only workouts I’ve missed were on long travel days.( 我开始每周一、周三和周五做俯卧撑锻炼。到目前为止，我唯一错过的锻炼是在长途旅行日)”与上文是转折关系对比，可知空格处与上文是转折关系，B项“反而，我决定为我的锻炼安排一个时间表”说明现在笔者制定时间表去完成目标，故选B。
【19题详解】
本题位于段落结尾，顺承上文，笔者讲完自己的经历后应该做一总结，F项“结果是，在做了77次俯卧撑训练后，我取得了很多进展。” 对上文的经历总结。故选F。
【20题详解】
空后“This is a lesson I have learned from my own experience.( 这是我从自己的经验中学到的一个教训。)”说到笔者的经验教训，因此推断空处讲述的与这段经历有关，是对这段经历的经验，C项“给自己一个要遵循的时间表，而不是只有最后期限”是笔者的做法，与下文的this相符。故选C。

【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了中国在加入湿地公约后在湿地保护方面作出的努力和取得的成就。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：截至2019年底，中国共有57个湿地自然保护区被列为公约重点保护湿地，总面积近700万公顷。分析句子可知，list(把……列入 ……)作后置定语修饰名词57 wetland nature reserves，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语57 wetland nature reserves之间是被动关系，表示“湿地自然保护区被列入公约重点保护湿地”，且“list ”这一动作已经发生，所以应用过去分词，表示被动和完成。故填listed。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：截至2019年底，中国共有57个湿地自然保护区被列为公约重点保护湿地，总面积近700万公顷。分析句子可知，cover(占……面积)作后置定语修饰名词57 wetland nature reserves，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语57 wetland nature reserves之间是主动关系，表 示“57个湿地自然保护区占地面积近700万公顷”，应用现在分词，表示主动。故填covering。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态与谓语一致。句意：国家林业和草原局一位官员周二表示，在过去五年中，中国湿地面积稳步扩大，增加了202,600公顷，对水质和环境保护做出了重大贡献。分析句子可知，expand(扩大)是句中谓语动词，与主语Wetlands之间是主动关系，句中有时间状语over the past five years，表示“在过去五年中”，句子应用现在完成时态，又因主语Wetlands是复数名词，所以谓语动词也应使用复数形式。故填have expanded。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：国家林业和草原局一位官员周二表示，在过去五年中，中国湿地面积稳步扩大，增加了202,600公顷，对水质和环境保护做出了重大贡献。make a contribution to是固定短语，表示“为……做出贡献”。故填contribution。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：国家林业和草原局一位官员周二表示，在过去五年中，中国湿地面积稳步扩大，增加了202,600公顷，对水质和环境保护做出了重大贡献。可数名词official在句中表示“一名官员”，泛指，前面应使用不定冠词，又因其音标中的第一个单节是元音音素/ /，所以应使用不定冠词an。故填an。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：截至2020年底，中国共有国家湿地公园899个，其中近一半为地方政府保护的国家湿地公园。分析句子可知，空格处为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词899 national wetland parks，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作nearly half of后的宾语，应使用关系代词，又因介词of置于关系代词前，所以只能用which引导。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：湿地保护在中国是非常重要的，中国湿地面积在世界湿地面积中排名第四，为65,900万公顷，占世界湿地面积的10%。根据句意可知，提示词extreme在句中修饰形容词vital，应使用其副词形式extremely，表示 “极度，非常”。故填extremely。
【43题详解】
考查序数词。句意：湿地保护在中国是非常重要的，中国湿地面积在世界湿地面积中排名第四，为65,900万公顷，占世界湿地面积的10%。“rank+序数词 ”是固定搭配，表示“排……位”，符合句意，提示词four用序数词形式fourth。故填fourth。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：中国还拥有一些迄今为止在亚洲更为重要的湿地，并且是像澜沧江(湄公河上游)这样的主要河流的源头国。“such+名词+as...”是such as结构的变式，表示“像……样的……”，句中指“像澜沧江这样的主要河流”。故填as。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：由于退耕还林和取消部分渔场等措施，2018年至2019年，列入公约名单的57个中国重点湿地的湿地面积增加了2479公顷。根据空格前介词to和定冠词the可知，应作用名词measure作宾语，表示“措施”，再根据定语从句“that included returning farmland to wetland and the removal of some fish farms”可知，措施不止一项，应用其复数形式。故填measures。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一 篇完整的短文。
I was still a thief when I met Anil. And though only 15, I was an experienced and fairly successful hand.
Anil was about 25—a tall, thin fellow—and he looked easy-going, kind and simple enough for my purpose. I might be able to get into his confidence.
I gave him my most appealing smile. “I want to work for you.” I said.
“But I can't pay you.”
Perhaps I had misjudged the man. I asked, “Can you feed me ”
“Can you cook ”
“I can cook.” I lied.
“If you can cook, then I can feed you.”
The meal I cooked that night must have been terrible because Anil gave it to a stray dog and old me to be off. But I just hung around smiling in my most appealing way, and he couldn't help laughing.
Later he patted me on the head and said never mind, he'd teach me to cook. He also taught me to write my name and said he would soon teach me to write whole sentences and to add numbers. I was grateful. I knew that once I could write like an educated man there would be no limit to what I could achieve.
One evening he came home with a small bundle of notes, saying he had just sold a book to a publisher. At night, I saw him put the money under the mattress (床垫).
It's time I did some real work, I told myself. After all, he doesn't even pay me.
Anil was asleep. I crept up to the bed. Anil was sleeping peacefully. My hand slid under the mattress, searching for the notes. When I found them, I drew them out without a sound. Anil sighed in his sleep and turned on his side, towards me. I was frightened and quickly crawled out of the room.
I began to run, holding the notes by the string of my pajamas (睡衣). But I slowed down and sat down in the shelter of the clock tower. I should go back to Anil, I told myself, if only to learn to read and write.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I hurried back to the room feeling very nervous.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I awoke late next morning to find that Anil had already made the tea.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I hurried back to the room feeling very nervous. It is much easier to steal something than to return it undetected. I opened the door quietly, then stood in the doorway, in clouded moonlight. Anil was still asleep. I crept to the head of the bed, my hand coming up with the notes. I felt his breath on my hand. I remained still for a minute. Then my hand found the edge of the mattress, and slipped under it with the notes.
I awoke late next morning to find that Anil had already made the tea. He stretched out his hand towards me with a note between his fingers. My heart sank. I thought I had been discovered. “I made some money yesterday,” he explained. “Now you’ll be paid regularly.” My spirits rose. “Today we’ll start writing sentences.” he said. He knew. But neither his lips nor his eyes showed anything. I smiled at Anil in my most appealing way.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者15岁时是个小偷，在和25岁Anil交往过程中，自己认为能获得Anil的信任，他给Anil打工，Anil教他文化，但不给他工钱，因为贪财，作者偷了Anil的钱，最后经过思想斗争，又偷偷把那些钱还了回去，Anil假装不知，从那之后，Anil定期发给作者报酬，作者改过自新的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我匆忙回到房间，感到非常紧张。”可知，第一段可描写作者把钱还回去的过程，以及不想被Anil发现的紧张情绪。
②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上我醒得很晚，发现Anil已经泡好茶了。”可知，第二段可描写Anil和作者谈心，两人都心照不宣，Anil要给作者定期报酬，作者改过自新。
