Text 10 欢迎健康专家来做讲座
W: (18)Hi, everyone. This is the monthly meeting of our club. We’ve been fortunate to have got good advice from some famous athletes on how to improve our skills and build up our body. Today we’ll hear something different. We’re honored to have Emma Wilson here. Emma is a health expert and lecturer from UBC, the University of British Columbia. Emma worked for a football team in Manchester, (19)then for a very successful rugby team in Dublin, and finally ended up working here in Vancouver. (20)Emma says it’s challenging to be a health expert because people can be easily influenced by advertisements that lack scientific support. Also, people aren’t willing to change their views about food and nutrition as there is so much confusing information online. It’s really important to hear what experts say. And that’s why we even invited Emma here. She isn’t going to tell us about everything we should eat, but she will teach us to make better choices. Let’s welcome Emma Wilson.
18.A 推理判断题。根据独白开篇的介绍“Hi, everyone. This is the monthly meeting of our club. We’ve been fortunate to have got good advice from some famous athletes on how to improve our skills and build up our body. Today we’ll hear something different. We’re honored to have Emma Wilson here.”可知,这是俱乐部的月度会议,说话者首先表示很幸运地从一些著名运动员那里得到了关于如何提高他们的技术和增强身体的很好的建议。今天,将要听一些不同的说法,很荣幸地邀请到一位健康专家。再结合下文的介绍,可推断出,说话者是在向运动俱乐部的成员介绍一位健康专家。故选A。

B
Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste. The arugula(芝麻菜)was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.
In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, "food waste goes against the moral grain," as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month's cover story. It's jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away—from “ugly"(but quite eatable)vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.
Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, "if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world."
If that's hard to understand, let's keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time — but for him, it's more like 12 bones of donated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D.C., which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished(有瑕疵的)produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.
Such methods seem obvious, yet so often we just don't think. "Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won't eat," Curtin says.
24. What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story
A. We pay little attention to food waste.
B. We waste food unintentionally at times.
C. We waste more vegetables than meat.
D. We have good reasons for wasting food.
25. What is a consequence of food waste according to the text
A. Moral decline.
B. Environmental harm.
C. Energy shortage.
D. Worldwide starvation.
26. What does Curtin's company do
A. It produces kitchen equipment.
B. It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.
C. It helps local farmers grow fruits
D. It makes meals out of unwanted food.
27. What does Curtin suggest people do
A. Buy only what is needed.
B. Reduce food consumption.
C. Go shopping once a week.
D. Eat in restaurants less often.
B
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章呼吁人们节约粮食,减少浪费,珍惜劳动成果,保护自然资源。
24. B 推理判断题。根据第一段“I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste.”以及“But I ended up working late...unthinkingly bought way too much.”可知,作者有心避免浪费食物,但却因加班、与朋友聚餐以及买得太多而使得芝麻菜腐坏,由此推断我们有时会在无意中浪费食物。B选项中的unintentionally与文中的unthinkingly意思相近。故选B。
25. B 细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Producing food that no one eats wastes the water...an environmental problem.”可知,食物浪费会引发环境问题。故选B。
26. D 细节理解题。根据第四段,尤其第三句“Curtin is CEO of...recovers food and turns it into healthy meals.”可知,Curtin所在的公司旨在将人们不想要的食品转化为健康的食物。故选D。
27. A 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary...not include the side dish you won’t eat.”可知,Curtin建议人们通过仅购买所需食品,以及让餐馆不用提供自己不吃的配菜来减少食物浪费。故选A。
【长难句分析】
Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. (第三段)
分析:本句主干为Producing food wastes the water, fuel, and other resources。Producing food为现在分词短语作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式;that no one eats为that引导的定语从句,修饰food;used to grow it为过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰the water, fuel, and other resources。
译文:生产的食物没有人吃,会浪费生产过程中所用的水、燃料和其他资源。

round out 使完美,圆满结束,圆满完成
end up 最终成为,最后处于
as days passed 日子一天天过去

像我们大多数人一样,我总是留心浪费掉的食物。芝麻菜(芝麻菜)用来做一份美味的绿色沙拉,使一顿烤鸡晚餐变的圆满。但最后我工作到很晚。然后朋友们打电话来,邀请共进晚餐。我把鸡塞进了冰箱里。但随着时间的流逝,芝麻菜变质了。更糟糕的是,我不假思索地买了太多东西。我本可以用我扔掉的东西做六份沙拉。
在一个每年有近8亿人挨饿的世界里,“食物浪费违背了道德品质”,正如伊丽莎白 罗伊特(Elizabeth Rovte)在本月的封面故事中所写的那样。令人瞠目结舌的是,有多少完美的食物被扔掉了-从杂货店拒绝的“丑陋”(但相当可吃)的蔬菜到扔进餐馆垃圾桶的大量未吃的菜肴。
生产无人食用的食物会浪费用于种植食物的水,养料和其他资源。这使得食物浪费成为一个环境问题。事实上,罗伊特写道,“如果食物浪费是一个国家,它将成为世界第三大温室气体生产国。
如果这很难理解,咱们就把它当作冰箱后面的芝麻菜一样简单。迈克·科廷(MikeCurtin)一直在看我的芝麻菜故事-但对他来说,这更像是临近尾期的12盒捐赠的草莓。科廷是华盛顿区中央厨房的首席执行官,这个中央厨房可以恢复食物并将其转化为健康的膳食。去年,它通过接受捐赠和收集有瑕疵(有瑕疵的)产品回收了超过807,500磅的食物,否则这些产品会在田间腐烂。草莓呢 志愿者将清洗,切割,冷冻或干燥它们,以便在路上用餐时使用。
这样的方法似乎是显而易见的,我们常常只是不这么认为。“每个人都可以在减少浪费方面发挥作用,无论是在每周购物中不购买超过必要食物,还是要求餐馆不要上你不会吃的配菜。

The elderly residents(居民)in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity(慈善组织)to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people's wellbeing, It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.
"I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they've gone to bed.
"It's good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I'm enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful."
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: "Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here."
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: "We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities."
28. What is the purpose of the project
A. To ensure harmony in care homes. B. To provide part-time jobs for the aged.
C. To raise money for medical research. D. To promote the elderly people's welfare.
29. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier
A. She has learned new life skills. B. She has gained a sense of achievement.
C. She has recovered her memory. D. She has developed a strong personality.
30. What do the underlined words "embark on" mean in paragraph 7
A. Improve. B. Oppose. C. Begin. D. Evaluate.
31. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs
A. It is well received. B. It needs to be more creative.
C. It is highly profitable. D. It takes ages to see the results.
C
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了英国一家慈善机构发起了一个让养老院老人养鸡的项目,以缓解老年人的孤独感,这个项目受到老年人的欢迎。
28. D 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The project was dreamed up...to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing.”可知,这个项目的目的是为了缓解老年人的孤独感和提升他们的幸福感。D项中的promote和welfare分别对应文中的improve和wellbeing。故选D。
29. B 推理判断题。根据第五段“It’s good to have a different focus...I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”可知,Ruth Xavier喜欢养鸡,做些有用的事让她感觉很好,由此可推断出她从养鸡这件事中获得了成就感。故选B。
30. C 词义猜测题。根据embark on前面的“one of the first”及其后面的“Residents really welcome the idea of”可知,此处指Wendy Wilson是最早发起这个项目的人之一,embark on与C项begin意思相近。故选C。

伦敦养老院给老人母鸡让他们去照顾,以防止他们感到孤独。
该项目由当地慈善机构构想,旨在减少孤独感,提升老年人的幸福感。它也被用来帮助患有痴呆症的患者,痴呆症是一种严重的精神疾病。养老院的工作人员报告说,在使用母鸡的养老院,药物的使用有所减少。
参与该项目的人中有80岁的Ruth Xavier。她说:“我年轻时养过母鸡,每天早上上学前都要准备它们的早餐。”
“我非常喜欢这个项目。早上把母鸡赶出去,我坐在轮椅上感到失落,晚上看着它们去睡觉,我也感到失落。”
“有不同的关注点是件好事。人们一直带着他们的孩子进来看母鸡,居民们来坐在外面看它们。我很喜欢这些创意活动,做一些有用的事情感觉很棒。
现在,东北20家养老院里有700名老人在照顾母鸡,并且该慈善机构已获得财政支持,在全国范围内推广。
PenfoldStreet60号的额外护理经理WendyWilson是首批开始进行该项目的人之一,她说:“居民们非常喜爱这个项目的想法和创意环节。我们期待着这个项目能给这里的人们带来的好处和乐趣。
NottingHill Pathways的主任LynnLewis说:“我们很高兴参与这个项目。这将真正有助于我们的居民通过共同的兴趣和创造性的活动建立联系。

Human speech contains more than 2,000 different sounds, from the common "m" and "a" to the rare clicks of some southern African languages. But why are certain sounds more common than others A ground-breaking, five-year study shows that diet-related changes in human bite led to new speech sounds that are now found in half the world's languages.
More than 30 years ago, the scholar Charles Hockett noted that speech sounds called labiodentals, such as "f" and "v", were more common in the languages of societies that ate softer foods. Now a team of researchers led by Damián Blasi at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, has found how and why this trend arose.
They discovered that the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned(对齐), making it hard to produce labiodentals, which are formed by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth. Later, our jaws changed to an overbite structure(结构), making it easier to produce such sounds.
The team showed that this change in bite was connected with the development of agriculture in the Neolithic period. Food became easier to chew at this point. The jawbone didn't have to do as much work and so didn't grow to be so large.
Analyses of a language database also confirmed that there was a global change in the sound of world languages after the Neolithic age, with the use of "f" and "v" increasing remarkably during the last few thousand years. These sounds are still not found in the languages of many hunter-gatherer people today.
This research overturns the popular view that all human speech sounds were present when human beings evolved around 300,000 years ago. "The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained stable since the appearance of human beings, but rather the huge variety of speech sounds that we find today is the product of a complex interplay of things like biological change and cultural evolution," said Steven Moran, a member of the research team.
32. Which aspect of the human speech sound does Damián Blasi's research focus on
A. Its variety. B. Its distribution. C. Its quantity. D. Its development.
33. Why was it difficult for ancient human adults to produce labiodentals
A. They had fewer upper teeth than lower teeth.
B. They could not open and close their lips easily.
C. Their jaws were not conveniently structured.
D. Their lower front teeth were not large enough.
34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Supporting evidence for the research results.
B. Potential application of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.
35. What does Steven Moran say about the set of human speech sounds
A. It is key to effective communication. B. It contributes much to cultural diversity.
C. It is a complex and dynamic system. D. It drives the evolution of human beings.

本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人类语音的发展与农业发展所带来的饮食结构的变化有着密不可分的关系。
32. D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的“diet-related changes in human bite led to new speech sounds”和第二段最后一句中的“how and why this trend arose.”可知Damián Blasi的研究与人类语音的发展有关。故选D。
33. C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“They discovered that the upper and lower front teeth...by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth.”可知,要发出唇齿音,上牙需要触碰到下嘴唇,而古人类的上门牙和下门牙是对齐的,这种下颌骨结构让他们很难发出唇齿音。故选C。
34. A 段落大意题。上文提到人类语音及牙齿咬合的变化与新石器时代农业的发展有关,且根据第五段第一句“Analyses of a language database also confirmed that...after the Neolithic age”可知,一项语言数据库的分析也证实,在新石器时代之后,世界语言的发音发生了全球性的变化,由此可推知第五段主要是为上文的研究结果提供证据。本段第一句中的“also confirmed”是关键词。故选A。
35. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained stable...is the product of a complex interplay of things like biological change and cultural evolution”可知,人类的语音并不是一成不变的,而是一个包含生物进化和文化演变等复杂的、相互作用的系统。故选C。
【长难句分析】
1.They discovered that the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned(对齐), making it hard to produce labiodentals, which are formed by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth. (第三段)
分析:本句主干为They discovered that...。that引导宾语从句作discover的宾语;making it...labiodentals为现在分词短语作结果状语;which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰labiodentals。
译文:他们发现古代成年人的上下门牙是对齐的,很难发出唇齿音,因为唇齿音是通过下唇触碰上齿形成的。
2.The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained stable since the appearance of human beings, but rather the huge variety of speech sounds that we find today is the product of a complex interplay of things like biological change and cultural evolution... (最后一段)
分析:本句是由but连接的两个并列分句。前一分句中,主干为The set of speech sounds has not remained stable。we use为省略that的定语从句,修饰speech sounds;since引导时间状语。后一分句中,主干为the huge variety of speech sounds is the product of a complex interplay. of things...cultural evolution为介词短语作后置定语,修饰interplay;like biological change and cultural evolution是对things的列举。
译文:自人类出现以来,我们使用的语音未必是保持稳定的,而我们今天发现的大量语音是生物进化和文化演变等相互作用的产物……

a team of researchers 一组研究人员 the Neolithic age 新石器时代
人类语言包含2000多种不同的音,从常见的“m”和“a”到一些非洲南部语言中罕见的吸气音。但是,为什么某些音比其他音更常见呢 一项为期五年的开创性研究表明,与饮食相关的人类咬合变化导致了新的语音,现在世界上有一半的语言都可以听到这种声音。
30多年前,学者查尔斯·霍克特(CharlesHockett)指出,被称为唇齿音的语音,如“f”和“v”,在吃较软食物的社会语言中更为常见。现在,由瑞士苏黎世大学的Damián Blasi领导的一组研究人员已经发现了这种趋势是如何以及为什么出现的。
他们发现古代成年人的上下门牙是对齐的,这使得很难发出唇齿音,唇齿音是通过触摸下唇到上牙而形成的。后来,我们的下颚变成了一个覆咬合结构,使得发出这种唇齿音变得更容易了。
研究小组表明,这种咬合的变化与新石器时代农业的发展有关。在这时候,食物变得更容易咀嚼。颚骨不必做那么多工作,所以没有长得那么大。
对语言数据库的分析还证实,新石器时代之后,世界语言的语音发生了全球性的变化,在过去几千年中,“f”和“v”的使用显著增加。这些音在今天许多狩猎采集者的语言中仍然未找到。
这项研究推翻了一种流行观点,即当人类在大约30万年前进化时,所有人类语音都存在。“自人类出现以来,我们使用的语音集并不一定保持稳定,我们今天发现的种类繁多的语音是生物变化和文化革新等事务进行复杂相互作用的产物,”研究小组成员StevenMoran说。
第三部分 “七选五”任务型阅读
Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled "Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner." One reason was: "You'll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym," while another read: " 36 " With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle(微妙)competition.
So, how do you find a workout partner
First of all, decide what you want from that person. 37 Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner.
You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. 38 If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.
My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 39
You and your partner will probably have different skills. 40 Over time, both of you will benefit-your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core(核心)of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other.
A. Your first meeting may be a little awkward.
B. A workout partner usually needs to live close by.
C. You'll work harder if you train with someone else.
D. Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport
E. How can you write a good "seeking training partner" notice
F. Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other.
G. Any notice for a training partner should include such information.

36. C 空前提到感谢健身搭档的五个理由,其中一个是“如果知道有人在健身房等你,你就会去健身房”,由“while another read”可知,空处应该是另一个理由,且空后提到“和健身搭档一起,你会更努力训练,因为你们之间有一种微妙的竞争”。C选项“如果你和别人一起训练,你会更努力”承上启下,符合语境。
37. D 第二段和本段开头提到关于如何找到健身搭档,首先要决定你想从健身搭档那里得到什么,根据空后一句“Or do you just want to be physically fit... ”可知,D选项“你想在你最喜欢的运动上成为更好的运动者吗?”和它是并列关系,均是用提问方式提示读者思考想要在健身搭档那里获得什么,承接上文,符合语境。
38. B 空后讲的是如果你打算在健身房锻炼,你和健身搭档一定得在同一个健身房,由此可知,空处应该和距离健身搭档远近有关,B选项“健身搭档通常需要住在附近”承接下文,符合语境。
39. G 本段开头提到我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上,接下来又对布告的内容做了具体的介绍。作者以自己搭档发布的布告为例,目的是介绍发布告的注意事项,故G选项“任何健身搭档的布告都应包括这些信息”符合语境。
40. F 空前作者提到你和你的搭档可能有不同的技能,空后提到随着时间的推移,你和你的搭档都会受益,由此可以推断,F选项“接受你们的不同,学会彼此合作”承上启下,符合语境。
【亮点句积累】

那么,如何找到健身搭档呢?
首先,确定你想从那个人身上得到什么。 37 或者你只是想要身体健康,能够动起来有力量和灵活性?想想你想和你的锻炼伙伴一起做的运动。
你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你正在寻找的事物,但它可能不会导致一个有用的回应。 38 如果你打算在健身房锻炼,那个人必须属于同一个健身房。
我的搭档把她的要求贴在当地一个公园的告示板上。她的布告包括她想做什么样的训练,一周几天,每次训练要花多少小时,以及她的年龄。还列出了她喜欢的运动和活动,并提供了她的电话号码。 39
你和你的伙伴可能会有不同的技能。 40 经过一段时间后,你们两个都将受益——你的伙伴将能够举起更多的重量,你将变得更健康。你们之间关系的核心是,你们将永远在那里帮助对方。
A.第一次见面可能会有点尴尬。
B.健身搭档通常需要住在附近。
C.如果你和别人一起训练,你会更加努力。
D.你想在你喜欢的运动中成为一个更好的运动员吗?
E.如何写好一篇“寻找训练伙伴”的通知?
F.接受你们之间的差异,学会与他人合作。
G.寻找训练伙伴的任何通告都应包括此类信息。

在过去的十年里,我的丈夫、我们的孩子和我有着非常棒的露营经历。
我们的一些记忆很有趣,尤其是在我们的孩子很小的时候。有一次,我们沿着白垩溪露营。我担心我们15个月大的孩子会掉进小溪里。我在他的腰上系了一根绳子,让他靠近我们的位置。这持续了大约十分钟。他很不舒服,他的哭声让整个营地都知道了。所以我没再把他绑起来,而是密切关注他。这样做很有效果——他最终没有掉进小溪里。然而,我三岁的儿子却掉进了小溪里。
还有一次,我们在瓦莱西托湖租了一艘船。当我们出发时,天空是晴朗的,但暴风雪在山中快速移动,这很快就打断了我们平静的上午旅行。风变大了,雷声隆隆。我丈夫停止钓鱼来启动马达。不管用。他又试了一次。运气不好。d发动机坏了,我们被困在湖中。当我们都无助地坐在那里时,一个渔夫停了下来,扔给我们一根绳子,然后拖着我们回来了。然后我们就安全了。
现在,每年当我丈夫把露营车拉出车库时,我们都充满了兴奋感,想知道接下来我们会经历什么露营乐趣和冒险。

The GPNP's main goal is to improve connectivity between separate 62 (population)and homes of giant pandas, and 63 (eventual)achieve a desired level of population in the wild.
Giant pandas also serve 64 an umbrella species(物种), bringing protection to a host of plants and animals in the southwestern and northwestern parts of China. The GPNP is intended to provide stronger protection for all the species 65 live within the Giant Panda Range and significantly improve the health of the ecosystem in the area.
本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了中国计划设立大熊猫国家公园,以维护生态系统的完整性和原真性,探索生态文明建设新模式,实现人与自然和谐共生。
56. Covering 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词“will be”,因此空处应该填cover的非谓语动词形式,主语the GPNP与动词cover为主动关系,故填现在分词形式Covering。注意首字母大小写。
57. the 考查冠词。times在此表示“倍数”,常用于“A+be+倍数+the size/height/length...+of+B”结构,表示“A是B的……倍”,故填定冠词the。
58. were 考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,空处缺少定语从句中的谓语动词,先行词是areas,应用be动词的复数形式;空后有时间状语previously(以前,先前),应用一般过去时。故填were。
59. to increase 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处为不定式短语作目的状语,表示“为了提高”。故填to increase。
60. is designed 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,此处缺少谓语动词,因主语“the GPNP”与动词“design”之间为动宾关系,应用被动语态;句子陈述的是现在的状态,应用一般现在时;主语为单数,应用第三人称单数形式。故填is designed。
61. and 考查连词。此处“protecting...”,“preserving...”,“protecting...”和“leaving...”是四个并列成分,都作“the guiding principle of”中介词of的宾语,故填连词and。
62. populations 考查名词复数。此处population表示“某领域的生物,族群”,是可数名词。空处前面有“separate”修饰,且根据空后的并列成分homes可知,此处应填population的复数形式,故填populations。
63. eventually 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,空处作状语修饰谓语动词“achieve”,故填eventual的副词形式eventually,意为“最后,终于”。
64. as 考查介词。serve as为固定搭配,意为“充当/担任……”,故填介词as。补充:umbrella species意为“伞护种”,伞护种指其生存环境可以满足很多其他物种要求的物种,如果伞护种的生存环境得到保护,其他物种也能享受到相应的保护。
65. that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句并在从句中作主语,先行词“species”指物且由all修饰,故填that。补充:定语从句中,当先行词指物,且被all, every, the very, the only, the just等修饰时,引导词用that,不用which。
【长难句分析】
The plan will extend protection to a significant number of areas that was previously unprotected, bringing many of the existing protected areas for giant pandas under one authority to increase effectiveness and reduce inconsistencies in management. (第一段)
分析:本句主干为The plan will extend protection to a significant number of areas。that引导定语从句,修饰areas;bring many of the existing...in management为现在分词短语作结果状语,其中to increase...in management为不定式短语作目的状语。

中国政府最近敲定了建立大熊猫国家公园的计划。覆盖面积大约是黄石国家公园面积的三倍,大熊猫国家公园将是该国第一批国家公园之一。该计划将保护范围扩大到大量以前未受保护的地区,将许多现有的大熊猫保护区置于一个管理机构之下,以提高效率并减少管理上的不一致性。
经过三年的试验期,大熊猫国家公园将于明年正式成立。该设计是为了反映“保护自然生态系统的真实性和完整性,保护生物多样性,保护生态缓冲区,以及为子孙后代留下宝贵的自然资产”的指导原则。大熊猫国家公园的主要目标是改善独立的大熊猫种群和家园的连接性,最终达到一个期望的野生种群数量。
大熊猫也是一个保护伞物种, 保护中国西南和西北地区的大量动植物。大熊猫国家公园旨在为生活在大熊猫栖息地范围内的所有物种提供更有力的保护,以及显著改善该地区生态系统的健康。

We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn't look at me.
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.
第二节(满分25分)
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。
It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn't with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school's coach and asked him what had happened. "I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him," he explained uncomfortably. "I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide."
I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well — he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer — that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.

Paragraph 1:
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. He hung his head, trying to avoid eye contact with me. It was a tricky moment, calling for a good choice of words. Having thought it over, I mentioned some events which won people’s praise for his determination and perseverance. His face began to lighten. He added that even the judges thumbed up at him. Then, the whistle went off and the competitors began to take their places. To my joy, David slowly rose to his feet.
Paragraph 2:
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. David stood firmly in his position, ignoring anything around. Pushing forward without balance, he was left behind. However, when he came into sight, the spectators burst into thunderous cheers and applause. Inspired by the enthusiasm and encouragement, David quickened his pace in high spirits. It turned out that he achieved his best record ever. Seeing his confident smiles, I sighed in relief. With the power to conquer himself, he can conquer anything on the way to a promising future.
