A
The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Start of Autumn, the 13th solar term, reflects the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. The fruitful season is approaching. The following are several things you should know about it.
“Autumn Tiger”
Although Start of Autumn indicates the beginning of autumn, hot weather won’t come to an end. The period of hot days after Start of Autumn, is called “Autumn Tiger”. Because of decreasing rainfall, it is even more sweltering (闷热的) during this period than during Major Heat.
Eating longans
The Start of Autumn period is harvest time for Taiwan longan People believe that eating longan will help their children become senior officials.
Eating red beans
Starting from the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, people in Yiwu, Zhejiang province, have eaten red beans on Start of Autumn day. They take 7 to 14 little beans, swallowing them with well water. When taking the beans, one must face west, it is said, so as not to get dysentery (痢疾) during the autumn.
Eating gourds (葫芦)
During the Qing Dynasty, people would put gourds outside for a day before the Start of Autumn, and eat them on Start of Autumn day to drive off the summer heat.
Today people in Tianjin still keep this custom, believing that eating melons such as towel gourd, white gourd and bitter gourd can prevent diarrhea (腹泻) in autumn.

Wildlife biologist Purnima Devi Barman remembers the first time she ever saw the nest of a greater adjutant stork (秃鹳) in a tree near her grandmother’s home. Her grandmother would tell her stories about birds and animals under the tree. The love for the natural world developed in those years led Barman to devote her life to saving the endangered greater adjutant stork.
Known as the Hargila in Assam, the greater adjutant stork is the second-rarest stork in the world. Unlike pandas or lions, whose attractive appearances help gain widespread support for their protection, these tall, bald, clumsy birds meet with bias in conservation campaigns.
“Hargilas also bear a reputation of bringing bad luck,” says Barman. “What was the point of writing my paper on them if there was no way of actually saving these birds I had to start with changing the misconception.”
Not one to shy away from a challenge, Barman put her PhD on hold and set to work. “I started engaging with the women in the village. In our experience, educating and securing the participation of women ensures that the learning passes on to the next generation,” Barman says.
Today, around 400 women have been trained to work on conserving this rare bird. The group’s activities include awareness-building in schools and plantation drives in which 45,000 trees were planted to support the stork’s future populations.
A key component allowing Barman to successfully integrate conservation efforts into the village cultural life was her idea of building related livelihoods. Weaving (纺织) is a long-standing craft in Assam, so Barman created a self-help group employing women to weave stork patterns on textiles. This innovative idea was highlighted at the UN Champion of the Earth Awards she won in 2022.
Currently the number of greater adjutant nests in Assam’s Kamrup district has grown from 28 in 2010 to more than 250. The once unlucky stork is now a symbol of community pride, its pictures appearing on bags, blankets and celebration decorations.
4. What motivated Barman to save the greater adjutant stork
A. Her interest in observing nests. B. Her passion for doing research.
C. Her love for nature from childhood. D. Her grandmother’s encouragement.
5. What does the underlined word “bias” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Prejudice. B. Support. C. Danger. D. Success.
6. What was a major challenge Barman faced in conserving the greater adjutant stork
A. The stork is common in appearance. B. The stork was believed to be unlucky.
C. She had not finished her paper for PhD. D. She lacked experience in wildlife conservation.
7. How did Barman make conservation efforts part of the village cultural life
A. By creating related jobs. B. By teaching women to weave.
C. By planting trees in the village. D. By advertising local products.
C
In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image. I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.
What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.
Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.
It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.
8. What can we infer from the first paragraph
A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.
B. The author agrees to overspend money on material things.
C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.
D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends.
9. Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that ______.
A. people dislike those who love luxuries
B. traveling changes a person’s identity greatly
C. luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness
D. experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries
10. What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself
A. Be selective about designer labels. B. Create your own personal unique style.
C. Choose simple and fashionable styles. D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.
11. The main purpose of the article is to ______.
A. prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life
B. tell how to express yourself through appearances
C. report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness
D. persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries
D
People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach.Most beaches don't have ramps (坡道) or special walkways to allow disabled visitors to move around easily, or to get in and out of the sea safely. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It's called Seatrac.
Seatrac is a system that was designed to solve this problem. Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water, or go for a swim. The Seatrac system can help anyone who has a hard time walking,including older people and pregnant women.
The chair is operated by remote control. When the person is ready to get out of the water, the Seatrac system brings the chair back to the top of the ramp. It's even possible to take a shower in the Seatrac chair after going for a swim.
Seatrac was invented and developed by Mr. Fotiou, a professor and his partners at Greek university. They designed the system and in time, they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell the systems. The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run.A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar powered. It doesn't require outside power, and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Seatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when swimming season ends.
This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy,and Latvia. The Seatrac service in Greece is gratis to tourists. The Greek government has helped pay for it and hopes that Seatrac will help attract more tourists to the country.
12. How can a disabled man in a wheelchair get into the water through Seatrac
A He rides the chair of the system into the sea.
B. He wheels his wheelchair into the sea by himself.
C. The moving ramp carries his wheelchair into the sea.
D. The staff of the Seatrac drives him to the sea in a chair.
13. What do we know about the Seatrac system
A. It needs recharging regularly.
B. It is automatic and portable.
C. It is easy to operate and manage.
D. It is only intended for disabled persons.
14. What does the underlined"gratis"mean in the last paragraph
A. Accessible. B. Profitable. C. First-class. D. Cost-free.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. Seatrac: Helping Wheelchair Users Enjoy the Sea
B. TOBEA:A New Company Bringing Joy to Tourists
C. A Professor: Helping the Disabled Realize Their Dream
D. A Ramp:Allowing Disabled Visitors to Move Around Easily
第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的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。
The world continues to struggle with extreme heatwaves, which are becoming even more regular thanks to climate change. ____16____ Researchers have found that by wearing appropriate clothes, it is possible to save considerable energy, both saving money and cutting greenhouse gas emissions. So what should you wear
When it comes to colour most people wear white in summer, because white reflects the sun’s rays, rather than absorb the light. ____17____ When that heat from our bodies hits the white clothing, it is reflected back at us. A study of why Bedouins, who live in desert regions in the Arabian peninsula, Middle East and North Africa wear black robes (袍服) in the desert, found that heat exposure was the same whether they wore black or white robes.
How is that possible Black coloured fabrics absorb heat coming from the body, which plays a role in cooling your body down. ____18____ The clothes heat up the space between the fabric and the skin, promoting an upward air current like a chimney—and providing cooling relief. ____19____
In terms of material, it’s better to have fabrics that allow water vapour (蒸气) to pass through. Cotton absorbs moisture but it doesn’t dry quickly, so if you’re sweating a lot your clothes will stay wet. ____20____ Linen is widely worn as it has excellent breath ability due to its large fabrics, but like cotton it is slow to dry. Merino wool has been a popular choice for outdoor enthusiasts as it’s breathable.
Therefore, it turns out that picking an outfit to stay cool is more complex than simply throwing on a white T-shirt. But the right fabric and appropriate fit work.
A. It means cotton does not do so great with this.
B. Cotton is considered as the most comfortable material
C. The clothing we wear is a vital component in how we stay cool.
D. So the fit of the clothing is actually more important than the colour.
E. So if you are considering what to wear, then stick with white T-shirt.
F. However, heat doesn’t just come from the sun—it comes from our bodies too.
G. The Bedouin’s secret is wearing loose-fitting black clothing, especially if it’s windy.

【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了野生生物学家Purnima Devi Barman拯救濒危大秃鹳的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The love for the natural world developed in those years led Barman to devote her life to saving the endangered greater adjutant stork.(在那些年里，对自然世界的热爱使巴曼献身于拯救濒临灭绝的大秃鹳)”可知，对自然界的热爱促使Barman毕生致力于拯救濒危大秃鹳的事业。故选C。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段画线单词所在句“Unlike pandas or lions, whose attractive appearances help gain widespread support for their protection, these tall, bald, clumsy birds meet with bias in conservation campaigns.”可知，熊猫或狮子迷人的外表有助于它们获得广泛的支持，与此形成对比的是，这些高大、秃顶、笨拙的鸟类在保护运动中会遇到偏见。由语境可推知，bias表示“偏见”，和prejudice意思相同。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Hargilas also bear a reputation of bringing bad luck(大秃鹳也有带来厄运的名声)”可推知，Barman在试图拯救和保护大秃鹳的过程中，遇到的最大障碍就是，人们认为大秃鹳是一种不吉利的鸟类。故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“A key component allowing Barman to successfully integrate conservation efforts into the village cultural life was her idea of building related livelihoods. Weaving (纺织) is a long-standing craft in Assam, so Barman created a self-help group employing women to weave stork patterns on textiles. This innovative idea was highlighted at the UN Champion of the Earth Awards she won in 2022.(巴曼成功地将保护工作融入村庄文化生活的一个关键因素是她建立相关生计的想法。纺织是阿萨姆邦的一项历史悠久的工艺，因此巴曼创建了一个自助小组，雇佣妇女在纺织品上编织鹳图案。她在2022年获得的联合国地球卫士奖中强调了这一创新理念)”可知，Barman成功地将保护大秃鹳的工作融入村庄文化生活，她成立了一个自助团体，雇佣女性在纺织品上编织鹳图案。故选A。

People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach.Most beaches don't have ramps (坡道) or special walkways to allow disabled visitors to move around easily, or to get in and out of the sea safely. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It's called Seatrac.
Seatrac is a system that was designed to solve this problem. Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water, or go for a swim. The Seatrac system can help anyone who has a hard time walking,including older people and pregnant women.
The chair is operated by remote control. When the person is ready to get out of the water, the Seatrac system brings the chair back to the top of the ramp. It's even possible to take a shower in the Seatrac chair after going for a swim.
Seatrac was invented and developed by Mr. Fotiou, a professor and his partners at Greek university. They designed the system and in time, they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell the systems. The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run.A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar powered. It doesn't require outside power, and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Seatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when swimming season ends.
This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy,and Latvia. The Seatrac service in Greece is gratis to tourists. The Greek government has helped pay for it and hopes that Seatrac will help attract more tourists to the country.
12. How can a disabled man in a wheelchair get into the water through Seatrac
A. He rides the chair of the system into the sea.
B. He wheels his wheelchair into the sea by himself.
C. The moving ramp carries his wheelchair into the sea.
D. The staff of the Seatrac drives him to the sea in a chair.
13. What do we know about the Seatrac system
A. It needs recharging regularly.
B. It is automatic and portable.
C. It is easy to operate and manage.
D. It is only intended for disabled persons.
14. What does the underlined"gratis"mean in the last paragraph
A. Accessible. B. Profitable. C. First-class. D. Cost-free.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. Seatrac: Helping Wheelchair Users Enjoy the Sea
B. TOBEA:A New Company Bringing Joy to Tourists
C. A Professor: Helping the Disabled Realize Their Dream
D. A Ramp:Allowing Disabled Visitors to Move Around Easily
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍一项新发明Seatrac系统，可以帮助轮椅使用者享受大海。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Seatrac is a system that was designed to solve this problem. Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea.”（Seatrac系统就是为了解决这个问题而设计的。Seatrac基本上是一个移动坡道上的椅子，可以平稳地将残疾人送入大海。）可知，Seatrac基本上是一个移动坡道上的椅子，可以顺利地把残疾人带到海里。 故选A项。
13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run.”（该公司努力使系统易于安装和运行。）可推知，该公司努力使该系统易于安装和使用。C 项“系统易于操作和管理”与之表述一致。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy,and Latvia.”（今年夏天，Seatrac系统被用于希腊、塞浦路斯、意大利和拉脱维亚的220多个海滩。）以及“The Greek government has helped pay for it and hopes that Seatrac will help attract more tourists to the country.”（希腊政府为其出资，并希望Seatrac能帮助吸引更多的游客。）叙述可知，今年夏天，Seatrac系统正在希腊、塞浦路斯、意大利和拉脱维亚的 220多个海滩上使用。希腊政府帮助支付了费用，希望吸引更多的游客来希腊。由此推断，Seatrac 系统在希腊是免费的。结合选项D项Cost-free“免费的”意思一致。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach. Most beaches don't have ramps(坡道)or special walkways to allow disabled visitors to move around easily, or to get in and out of the sea safely. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It's called Seatrac.”（走路或走动有困难的人通常很难享受海滩。大多数海滩没有坡道或特殊的走道，让残疾游客可以轻松地四处走动，或者安全地进出大海。但希腊数百个海滩现在为坐轮椅的人自己下水提供了一种新方式。它叫做Seatrac。）可知，文章主要讲的是一项新发明Seatrac系统，可以帮助轮椅使用者享受大海。故文章最好的标题是“Seatrac：帮助轮椅使用者享受大海”。故选A项。
第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的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。
The world continues to struggle with extreme heatwaves, which are becoming even more regular thanks to climate change. ____16____ Researchers have found that by wearing appropriate clothes, it is possible to save considerable energy, both saving money and cutting greenhouse gas emissions. So what should you wear
When it comes to colour, most people wear white in summer, because white reflects the sun’s rays, rather than absorb the light. ____17____ When that heat from our bodies hits the white clothing, it is reflected back at us. A study of why Bedouins, who live in desert regions in the Arabian peninsula, Middle East and North Africa wear black robes (袍服) in the desert, found that heat exposure was the same whether they wore black or white robes.
How is that possible Black coloured fabrics absorb heat coming from the body, which plays a role in cooling your body down. ____18____ The clothes heat up the space between the fabric and the skin, promoting an upward air current like a chimney—and providing cooling relief. ____19____
In terms of material, it’s better to have fabrics that allow water vapour (蒸气) to pass through. Cotton absorbs moisture but it doesn’t dry quickly, so if you’re sweating a lot your clothes will stay wet. ____20____ Linen is widely worn as it has excellent breath ability due to its large fabrics, but like cotton it is slow to dry. Merino wool has been a popular choice for outdoor enthusiasts as it’s breathable.
Therefore, it turns out that picking an outfit to stay cool is more complex than simply throwing on a white T-shirt. But the right fabric and appropriate fit work.
A. It means cotton does not do so great with this.
B. Cotton is considered as the most comfortable material
C. The clothing we wear is a vital component in how we stay cool.
D. So the fit of the clothing is actually more important than the colour.
E. So if you are considering what to wear, then stick with white T-shirt.
F. However, heat doesn’t just come from the sun—it comes from our bodies too.
G. The Bedouin’s secret is wearing loose-fitting black clothing, especially if it’s windy.
【答案】16. C 17. F 18. G 19. D 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了夏天穿什么样的衣服有助于保持凉爽。
【16题详解】
前文“The world continues to struggle with extreme heatwaves, which are becoming even more regular thanks to climate change.(世界继续与极端热浪作斗争，由于气候变化，极端热浪变得更加频繁。)”讲述了气候变化导致极端热浪更加频繁，天气非常炎热，后文“Researchers have found that by wearing appropriate clothes, it is possible to save considerable energy, both saving money and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.(研究人员发现，通过穿合适的衣服，可以节省大量能源，既省钱又减少温室气体排放。)”讲述了研究发现穿合适的衣服可以帮助散热，由此可知，空处应讲述我们穿的衣服在帮助保持凉爽方面起重要作用，C项“我们穿的衣服是我们保持凉爽的重要组成部分。”符合题意。故选C。
【17题详解】
前文“When it comes to colour, most people wear white in summer, because white reflects the sun’s rays, rather than absorb the light.(说到颜色，大多数人在夏天都穿白色，因为白色反射阳光，而不是吸收光线。)”讲述了白色反射太阳光线，后文“When that heat from our bodies hits the white clothing, it is reflected back at us.(当我们身体的热量接触到白色衣服时，就会反射回我们身上。)”讲述了白色衣服会将身体产生的热量返回到身体上，由此可知，热量不仅来自阳光，还来自我们的身体，F项“然而，热量不仅仅来自太阳，它也来自我们的身体。”符合题意。故选F。
【18题详解】
前文“Black coloured fabrics absorb heat coming from the body, which plays a role in cooling your body down.(黑色织物吸收来自身体的热量，起到冷却身体的作用。)”解释了黑色织物有助于降温的原理，后文“The clothes heat up the space between the fabric and the skin, promoting an upward air current like a chimney—and providing cooling relief.(这些衣服加热了织物和皮肤之间的空间，促进了像烟囱一样向上的气流，并提供了降温效果)”讲述了这些衣服在织物和皮肤之间存在一定的空间，由此推知，空处提到了一种黑色的宽松衣服，G项“贝都因人的秘密是穿宽松的黑色衣服，尤其是在刮风的时候。”符合题意，选项中的black clothing照应前文的Black coloured fabrics，loose-fitting与后文的the space between the fabric and the skin衔接。故选G。
【19题详解】
前文“The clothes heat up the space between the fabric and the skin, promoting an upward air current like a chimney—and providing cooling relief.(这些衣服加热了织物和皮肤之间的空间，促进了像烟囱一样向上的气流，并提供了降温效果)”讲述了宽松的衣服能够在织物和皮肤之间形成气流，起到降温效果，所以空处应讲述衣服的合身度很重要，D项“因此，衣服的合身度实际上比颜色更重要。”符合题意，总结了前文。故选D。
20题详解】
前文“In terms of material, it’s better to have fabrics that allow water vapour(蒸气) to pass through. Cotton absorbs moisture but it doesn’t dry quickly, so if you’re sweating a lot your clothes will stay wet.(就材料而言，最好有能让水蒸气通过的织物。棉吸收水分，但不会很快变干，所以如果你经常出汗，你的衣服会保持潮湿。)”讲述了棉容易吸收水分，不易变干，所以空处应讲述棉不利于水蒸气透过织物散发，A项“这意味着棉在这方面做得不太好。”符合题意。故选A。

增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(Λ)，并在其下面写出该加的词。

Today, when I walked to home after school, I found the sunset was very beautifully. I stopped at the park and sit on a bench to appreciate the scenery. There was so many people who had a walk at the park, most of whom were old couples. There was a special couple walk hand in hand, who caught my attention. The old woman couldn’t walk well so there was something wrong with her right legs. The old man took care of them carefully. They set good example to the young couples, showing that true love is. Against the sunset, they made up a beautiful scene.
【答案】1. 删掉to 2. beautifully→beautiful 3. sit→sat 4. was→were 5. walk→walking
6. so→because 7. legs→leg 8. them→her 9. good前加a 10. that→what
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者放学后在公园看到了一对老年夫妇恩爱的一幕。
【详解】1. 考查介词。句意：今天，当我放学步行回家时，我发现日落非常美丽。walk home意为“回家”，为固定搭配。home在这里为副词，其前不加介词to。故去掉to。
2. 考查形容词。句意参考上题。was为系动词，其后应跟形容词作表语。beautiful意为“美丽的”，为形容词；beautifully意为“美丽地”，为副词。故将beautifully改为beautiful。
3. 考查时态。句意：我在公园停下来，坐在长椅上欣赏风景。根据句中的stopped可知，and连接的两个动作都是表示过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故将sit改为sat。
4. 考查主谓一致。句意：公园里散步的人太多了，大多数都是老夫妇。there be句型中，be动词的单复数形式应和其后的主语保持一致，本句中应和so many people保持一致，用复数。故将was改为were。
5. 考查非谓语动词。句意：有一对特别的夫妇手牵手散步，他们引起了我的注意。分析句子结构，主句是there be句型，所以walk应用非谓语动词形式。逻辑主语a special couple和walk之间是主谓关系，所以这里应用现在分词，作后置定语。故将walk改为walking。
6. 考查状语从句。句意：这位老妇人不能很好地走路，因为她的右腿出了问题。根据句意，这位老妇人走路不利索的原因是她的右腿有毛病，前为果，后为因，所以应用because引导原因状语从句。故将so改为because。
7. 考查名词的数。句意参考上题。leg(腿)为可数名词，根据前面的her leg可知，一个人只有一条右腿，这里应用单数形式。故将legs改为leg。
8. 考查代词。句意：老人细心地照顾着她。根据上文中的“The old woman couldn’t walk well”可知，这位老妇人走路不利索，所以她的老伴细心照顾她。故将them改为her。
9. 考查冠词。句意：他们给年轻的情侣们树立了一个很好的榜样，展示了什么是真正的爱情。set a good example to...意为“给……树立了一个好榜样”。故在good前加a。
10. 考查宾语从句。句意参考上题。showing后面是一个宾语从句，从句中缺少is的表语，所以应用what引导。故将that改为what。
