When I first came to Armenia (亚美尼亚) and started to learn the Armenian language, I was overwhelmed by the difficult task ahead. I decided I was going to try and only learn the basics for survival, because, after all, who speaks Armenian
I spent the first few months just trying to keep up with my classmates, but always with the idea in the back of my head that I really didn’t need to try that hard, because Armenian was not a language which would serve me in the future. I even had Armenians telling me that I had better invest my time learning Russian which could someday come in handy.
Despite everything, I invested a lot of time learning the Armenian language, in part because only one other person in the community I live in speaks English. I eventually started to notice people’s appreciation of me having gone to the trouble of learning their language. I have been thanked for speaking Armenian, which is something that has really amazed me.
But when Armenians started to notice how much importance and time I was giving to their language, we automatically (自动地) started bridging the gap between our differences, and they became interested in me as an individual and in where I came from. I think language is such an important part of culture. Speaking Armenian has served me as a bridge to the people of this country, and by immersing (使专心于) myself in it as I have done, I can better and more fairly represent the culture of Armenians to the people of the United States.
Living in Armenia has taught me the importance that language has, not just in the culture, but also the identity of a people. I don’t think I could have been able to immerse myself in the culture and get the deep cultural experience I am getting right now if I had dismissed Armenian as an expensive luxury I couldn’t afford due to the practicalities of time and utility.
4. Why didn’t the author pay more attention to learning Armenian at first
A. He didn’t think it useful in the future.
B. It was too difficult to learn.
C. He would leave the place soon.
D. He preferred to learn Russian.
5. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph
A. Language is the spiritual pillar of Armenians.
B. Language is the carrier of cultural exchange.
C. Communication is the main part of daily life.
D. Communication is the beginning of friendship.
6. What is the text mainly about
A. Culture is very significant for a nation.
B. Language is important for studying abroad.
C. Life in Armenia is wonderful.
D. Language is a wonderful bridge.
C
Bread fruit is a traditional staple (主食) crop from the Pacific islands with the potential to improve worldwide food security. While people have survived on it for thousands of years, there was a lack of basic scientific knowledge of the health impacts of a bread fruit-based diet in both humans and animals. Now the fruit is getting the nutritional thumbs-up from a team of British Columbia researchers.
Bread fruit can be harvested, dried and made into flour. For the project, researchers had four bread fruits from the same tree in Hawaii, shipped to the march Lab at UBC Okanagan. Ying Liu led the study examining the digestion and health impact of a bread fruit-based diet.
“We wanted to contribute to the development of bread fruit as a sustainable, environmentally-friendly and high-production crop,” Liu says. The researchers designed a series of studies that could provide data on the impacts of a bread fruit-based diet fed to mice and also an enzyme (酶) digestion model.
The researchers determined that bread fruit protein was found to be easier to digest than wheat protein in the enzyme digestion model. And mice fed the bread fruit diet had a significantly higher growth rate and body weight than standard diet-fed mice. Liu also noted mice on the bread fruit diet had a significantly higher daily water consumption compared to mice on the wheat diet.
Fundamental understanding of the health impact of bread fruit digestion and diets is necessary and essential to the establishment of bread fruit as a staple in the future. “Overall, these studies support the use of bread fruit as part of a healthy, nutritionally balanced diet,” says Liu. The use of bread fruit could make inroads in food sustain ability for many populations globally. Liu suggests if a person ate the same amount of cooked bread fruit they can meet up to nearly 57 per cent of their daily fibre requirement, more than 34 per cent of their protein requirement and at the same time consume vitamin C, iron, calcium and other elements.
7. What does the underlined word “thumbs-up” mean in the first paragraph
A. Requirement. B. Benefit. C. Reflection. D. Acceptance.
8. What is the purpose of Liu’s study on bread fruit
A. To help those Pacific islanders. B. To prove the value of the food.
C. To promote the food worldwide. D. To develop a new type of diet.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The research method. B. The research focuses.
C. The research process. D. The research findings.
10. What can be inferred about bread fruit from the last paragraph
A. It will take the place of wheat. B. It is superior to other foods.
C. It can help ease food shortage. D. It needs further improvement.

We don’t always eat just to satisfy physical hunger. ____11____ And when we do, we tend to reach for junk food, sweets, and other comforting but unhealthy foods. You might reach for a pot of ice cream or order a pizza if you’re bored or lonely.

The first step is finding out what leads you to emotional eating. What situations, places, or feelings make you reach for the comfort of food Most emotional eating is linked to unpleasant feelings, but it can also be caused by positive emotions, such as rewarding yourself for achieving a goal. Whatever the reason, you have to find other ways to fulfill yourself emotionally. ____15____ If you’re exhausted, treat yourself with a hot cup of tea, take a bath, or wrap yourself in a warm blanket. Things like these may help a lot.
A. Make time for relaxation.
B. It may even make you feel worse.
C. Many of us also turn to food for comfort.
D. Emotional hunger can’t be filled with food.
E. Finally, you can put a stop to emotional eating.

Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells corny (老套的) jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mom who played the embarrassing parent role.
While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned that school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, right then and there, my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t.”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear she was not a professional entertainer. My parents ran a small grocery store (杂货店), and the only singing my mom did was in the shower.
“Um” I said on our way home, “are you sure this is such a good idea ” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school’s Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” “I know volunteering is important,” I said, “but couldn’t you help out in Tex and Indi’s kindergarten instead ” She laughed. “Don’t be silly. We’ll have great fun!”
“OK, class,” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
1 looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing a strange snowflake hat. “I’m very excited to be here with you guys!” my mom said. “I’m going to teach you a fun little song- and-dance I learnt a few years back, when I did some theater in college. Here it goes!”
Oh, please, oh, please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill (消防演习), or a morning meeting, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself and me !
But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.

When I first came to Armenia (亚美尼亚) and started to learn the Armenian language, I was overwhelmed by the difficult task ahead. I decided I was going to try and only learn the basics for survival, because, after all, who speaks Armenian
I spent the first few months just trying to keep up with my classmates, but always with the idea in the back of my head that I really didn’t need to try that hard, because Armenian was not a language which would serve me in the future. I even had Armenians telling me that I had better invest my time learning Russian which could someday come in handy.
Despite everything, I invested a lot of time learning the Armenian language, in part because only one other person in the community I live in speaks English. I eventually started to notice people’s appreciation of me having gone to the trouble of learning their language. I have been thanked for speaking Armenian, which is something that has really amazed me.
But when Armenians started to notice how much importance and time I was giving to their language, we automatically (自动地) started bridging the gap between our differences, and they became interested in me as an individual and in where I came from. I think language is such an important part of culture. Speaking Armenian has served me as a bridge to the people of this country, and by immersing (使专心于) myself in it as I have done, I can better and more fairly represent the culture of Armenians to the people of the United States.
Living in Armenia has taught me the importance that language has, not just in the culture, but also the identity of a people. I don’t think I could have been able to immerse myself in the culture and get the deep cultural experience I am getting right now if I had dismissed Armenian as an expensive luxury I couldn’t afford due to the practicalities of time and utility.

B. Language is important for studying abroad.
C. Life in Armenia is wonderful.
D. Language is a wonderful bridge.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在亚美尼亚学习亚美尼亚语的经历，虽然一开始他有不那么努力的想法，但是他依然投入了大量的时间和精力，这使得他可以和当地人交流，他们非常欣赏他的付出，彼此之间自然地开始弥合两种文化之间的差异。作者领悟到语言的重要性，它既充当了文化的桥梁，也促进了身份的认同。
4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I spent the first few months just trying to keep up with my classmates, but always with the idea in the back of my head that I really didn’t need to try that hard, because Armenian was not a language which would serve me in the future. (刚开始的几个月里，我只是努力跟上同学们的步伐，但我脑子里一直有个想法，我真的不需要那么努力，因为亚美尼亚语对我未来的生活没什么帮助)”可知，作者一开始没有注意学习亚美尼亚语是因为他认为这在将来没有用处。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“But when Armenians started to notice how much importance and time I was giving to their language, we automatically (自动地) started bridging the gap between our differences, and they became interested in me as an individual and in where I came from. I think language is such an important part of culture. Speaking Armenian has served me as a bridge to the people of this country, and by immersing (使专心于) myself in it as I have done, I can better and more fairly represent the culture of Armenians to the people of the United States. (但当亚美尼亚人开始注意到我对他们的语言给予了多少重视和时间时，我们自然而然地开始弥合我们之间的差异，他们开始对我这个人感兴趣，对我来自哪里感兴趣。我认为语言是文化的重要组成部分。说亚美尼亚语是我与这个国家的人民沟通的桥梁，通过沉浸在亚美尼亚语中，我可以更好、更公平地向美国人民描绘亚美尼亚文化)”可知，因为作者会说亚美尼亚语，亚美尼亚人开始和作者沟通得更多，自然地增进了彼此的文化交流。由此推知，语言是文化交流的载体。故选B项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段中“I think language is such an important part of culture. Speaking Armenian has served me as a bridge to the people of this country (我认为语言是文化的重要组成部分。说亚美尼亚语是我与这个国家的人民沟通的桥梁)”可知，文章围绕作者学习亚美尼亚语的经历展开，讲述了虽然一开始他有不那么努力的想法，但是他依然投入了大量的时间和精力，这使得他可以和当地人交流，彼此之间自然地开始弥合两种文化之间的差异。文章主要展现了语言的重要性——充当文化的桥梁。故选D项。

“We wanted to contribute to the development of bread fruit as a sustainable, environmentally-friendly and high-production crop,” Liu says. The researchers designed a series of studies that could provide data on the impacts of a bread fruit-based diet fed to mice and also an enzyme (酶) digestion model.
The researchers determined that bread fruit protein was found to be easier to digest than wheat protein in the enzyme digestion model. And mice fed the bread fruit diet had a significantly higher growth rate and body weight than standard diet-fed mice. Liu also noted mice on the bread fruit diet had a significantly higher daily water consumption compared to mice on the wheat diet.
Fundamental understanding of the health impact of bread fruit digestion and diets is necessary and essential to the establishment of bread fruit as a staple in the future. “Overall, these studies support the use of bread fruit as part of a healthy, nutritionally balanced diet,” says Liu. The use of bread fruit could make inroads in food sustain ability for many populations globally. Liu suggests if a person ate the same amount of cooked bread fruit they can meet up to nearly 57 per cent of their daily fibre requirement, more than 34 per cent of their protein requirement and at the same time consume vitamin C, iron, calcium and other elements.
7. What does the underlined word “thumbs-up” mean in the first paragraph
A. Requirement. B. Benefit. C. Reflection. D. Acceptance.
8. What is the purpose of Liu’s study on bread fruit
A. To help those Pacific islanders. B. To prove the value of the food.
C. To promote the food worldwide. D. To develop a new type of diet.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The research method. B. The research focuses.
C. The research process. D. The research findings.
10. What can be inferred about bread fruit from the last paragraph
A. It will take the place of wheat. B. It is superior to other foods.
C. It can help ease food shortage. D. It needs further improvement.
【答案】7. D 8. B 9. D 10. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。虽然人们靠面包果生存了数千年，但之前一直没有科学研究来证明其营养价值。本文介绍了一项关于面包果的研究，研究结果支持将面包果作为健康、营养均衡饮食的一部分。这一发现可以帮助缓解食物紧张的问题。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“While people have survived on it for thousands of years, there was a lack of basic scientific knowledge of the health impacts of a bread fruit-based diet in both humans and animals.(尽管人们已经靠面包水果生存了数千年，但关于以面包水果为基础的饮食对人类和动物的健康影响，缺乏基本的科学知识)”可知，前句说在过去，人们关于面包果对健康的影响缺乏科学知识。而划线词所在句“Now the fruit is getting the nutritional thumbs-up from a team of British Columbia researchers.”则说的是现在的情况，与过去进行对比。由此推知，现在这种水果的营养价值得到了研究人员的认可，划线词thumbs-up意为“赞同，接受”。A. Requirement要求；B. Benefit好处；C. Reflection反射；D. Acceptance接受。故选D。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Ying Liu led the study examining the digestion and health impact of a bread fruit-based diet.(Ying Liu领导了这项研究，研究以面包果为基础的饮食对消化和健康的影响)”以及第三段第一句““We wanted to contribute to the development of bread fruit as a sustainable, environmentally-friendly and high-production crop,” Liu says.(“我们想为面包果的发展做出贡献，使之成为一种可持续的、环保的高产作物，” Liu说)”可推知，Liu研究面包果的目的是为了证明这种食物的价值。故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The researchers determined that bread fruit protein was found to be easier to digest than wheat protein in the enzyme digestion model. And mice fed the bread fruit diet had a significantly higher growth rate and body weight than standard diet-fed mice. Liu also noted mice on the bread fruit diet had a significantly higher daily water consumption compared to mice on the wheat diet.(研究人员确定，在酶消化模型中，面包果蛋白质被发现比小麦蛋白质更容易消化。被喂养面包果的老鼠比标准饮食喂养的老鼠有明显更高的生长速度和体重。Liu还指出，面包果饮食组的老鼠比小麦饮食组的老鼠每天消耗的水量明显更高)”可知，这一段主要介绍了研究的发现，即面包果蛋白质比小麦蛋白质更容易消化，而且被喂养面包果比普通喂养的老鼠发育更快，日消耗水量更多。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话“Fundamental understanding of the health impact of bread fruit digestion and diets is necessary and essential to the establishment of bread fruit as a staple in the future.(从根本上了解面包果消化和饮食的健康影响，对于建立面包果作为未来的主食是必需和必要的)”以及“The use of bread fruit could make inroads in food sustain ability for many populations globally.(对于全球许多人口来说，面包果的使用可能会在食物维持能力方面取得进展)”可知，面包果在未来可能会被作为主食，对全球的食物维持能力有帮助。由此可知，C选项“它可以帮助缓解食物紧张”符合题意。故选C。

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。其中有两项为多余选项。
We don’t always eat just to satisfy physical hunger. ____11____ And when we do, we tend to reach for junk food, sweets, and other comforting but unhealthy foods. You might reach for a pot of ice cream or order a pizza if you’re bored or lonely.
Occasionally using food as a reward or to celebrate isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But when eating is your primary way of dealing with emotional problems, you can get stuck in an unhealthy emotional eating cycle.
Emotional eating is using food to make yourself feel better- to fill emotional needs, rather than your stomach. Actually, emotional eating doesn’t fix emotional problems. ____12____ Afterward, not only does the original emotional issue remain, but you also feel guilty for overeating.
____13____ Eating may feel good in the moment. The feelings that led to the eating are still there. And you often feel worse than before because of the unnecessary calories. No matter how powerless you feel over food, it is possible to make a positive change. You can learn healthier ways to deal with your emotions. ____14____
The first step is finding out what leads you to emotional eating. What situations, places, or feelings make you reach for the comfort of food Most emotional eating is linked to unpleasant feelings, but it can also be caused by positive emotions, such as rewarding yourself for achieving a goal. Whatever the reason, you have to find other ways to fulfill yourself emotionally. ____15____ If you’re exhausted, treat yourself with a hot cup of tea, take a bath, or wrap yourself in a warm blanket. Things like these may help a lot.

B. It may even make you feel worse.
C. Many of us also turn to food for comfort.
D. Emotional hunger can’t be filled with food.
E. Finally, you can put a stop to emotional eating.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是什么是情绪化进食和如何避免情绪化进食。
【11题详解】
空前“We don’t always eat just to satisfy physical hunger.(我们并不总是为了满足生理饥饿而吃东西。)”指出我们并不总是为了满足生理饥饿而吃东西，空格处应该说我们还会为了什么吃东西，C选项“Many of us also turn to food for comfort.(我们中的许多人也会从食物中寻求安慰。)”承接上文，符合语境，故选C。
【12题详解】
空前“Actually, emotional eating doesn’t fix emotional problems.(事实上，情绪化进食并不能解决情绪问题。)”指出情绪化进食并不能解决情绪问题，由此推知，空格处应该继续讲它的弊端，B选项“It may even make you feel worse.(它甚至会让你感觉更糟。)”承接上文，符合语境，故选B。
【13题详解】
空后“Eating may feel good in the moment. The feelings that led to the eating are still there.(吃东西的时候可能感觉很好。导致吃东西的感觉还在。)”指出吃东西并不能真正地克服想吃东西的感觉，D选项“Emotional hunger can’t be filled with food.(情感上的饥饿不能用食物来填补。)”说明吃食物不能解决情感上的问题，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选D。
【14题详解】
空前“No matter how powerless you feel over food, it is possible to make a positive change. You can learn healthier ways to deal with your emotions.(无论你对食物感到多么无力，都有可能做出积极的改变。你可以学习更健康的方式来处理你的情绪。)”指出可以用更健康的方式来处理你的情绪，空格处应该接着上文说做到这一点后会发生什么，E选项“Finally, you can put a stop to emotional eating.(最后，你可以停止情绪化进食。)”说明用更健康的方式处理情绪后就可以停止情绪化进食，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选E。
【15题详解】
根据上文“Whatever the reason, you have to find other ways to fulfill yourself emotionally.(不管是什么原因，你必须找到其他的方式来满足自己的情感)”和空后“If you’re exhausted, treat yourself with a hot cup of tea, take a bath, or wrap yourself in a warm blanket. Things like these may help a lot.(如果你累了，喝杯热茶，洗个澡，或者用温暖的毯子把自己裹起来。)”可知，上文提出要找到其他方法来满足自己的情感，空后提出了一种应对焦虑情绪的做法。由此推知，空处也是介绍应对某种情绪的方法。G选项“If you’re anxious, expend your nervous energy by dancing to your favorite song.(如果你感到焦虑，那就随着你最喜欢的歌曲跳舞来消耗你紧张的能量。)”符合题意，在句式上和空后内容一致，故选G。

根据句子结构的语法性，在下面空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的适当形式填空。
31. Large ________(quantity) of soil are washed by rain every year. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】quantities
【解析】
【详解】考查名词的复数。句意：每年有大量的土壤被雨水冲刷。large quantities of是固定短语，意为“大量的”，因此空格处是quantities。故填quantities。
32. My hometown is no longer________ it used to be.(用适当的词填空)
【答案】what
【解析】
【详解】考查表语从句。句意：我的家乡不再是过去的样子了。空格处引导的是表语从句，从句中缺少表语，句子表示“我的家乡不再是过去的样子了”，因此空格处用what引导表语从句，故填what。
33. The children do not know how to behave ________ (them) rightly. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】themselves
【解析】
【详解】考查反身代词。句意：孩子们不知道如何举止得体。behave oneself是固定短语，意为“举止得体”，因此空格处用反身代词，them的反身代词是themselves，故填themselves。
34. Most adults come down ________ two to three colds a year, and children even more. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】with
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意：大多数成年人每年感冒两到三次，儿童甚至更多。根据句意及所给句子可知，此处是动词短语come down with“得(传染性的病)； 感染”。故填with。
35. Perhaps no other scientist has had a greater impact on China’s aerospace science ________ Qian Xuesen. (用适当的词填空)

【答案】Strengthening
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意：加强社会发展是维持社会和谐和稳定的重要保证。分析句子结构和意思可知，设空处作主语，且表示抽象的动作，应填动名词形式。故填Strengthening。
37. The tickets ________ (sell) out before I came to the cinema. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】had been sold
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：在我来到电影院之前，票已经卖完了。根据句意以及before I came to the cinema可知，主句动作发生在从句动作came之前，表示过去的过去，用过去完成时，且主语The tickets与sell之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填had been sold。
38. He is such________ optimistic and brave person that no great difficulties could defeat him. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】an
【解析】
【详解】考查冠词。句意：他是一个乐观勇敢的人，任何大的困难都不能打败他。such a/an+形容词+名词+that...是固定用法，意为“如此……的……，以至于……”，optimistic是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an。故填an。
39. The doctor recommended that sweet drinks ________ (cut) out from his diet. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】 should be cut##be cut
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气和被动语态。句意：医生建议把甜饮料从他的饮食中去掉。recommend意为“强烈建议”，其后的that从句中用“should+动词原形”的虚拟语气，其中should可省略，甜饮料是被去掉，因此空格处用should be cut，故填(should) be cut。
40. In his early twenties, he was too________ (ambition) to stay in his hometown to be a clerk in a small company.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】ambitious

根据以下各句括号中的要求，完成、改写或翻译句子。
41. He showed me how I can start the online tour.
He showed me ________ ________ ________ the online tour (同义句转换）
【答案】 ①. how ②. to ③. start
【解析】
【详解】考查疑问词+不定式结构。句意：她向我展示如何开启在线旅行。因为特殊疑问词+不定式结构可以和特殊疑问词引导的宾语从句互换，故原句中使用how引导宾语从句，可用how+不定式来代替。故填①how②to③start。
42. Meat, beans, fresh fruit and vegetables make up a healthy diet.(同义句)
A healthy diet ________ ________ meat, beans, fresh fruit and vegetables.
【答案】 ①. consists ②. of
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语，时态和主谓一致。句意：肉类、豆类、新鲜水果和蔬菜构成了健康的饮食。对比两句话可知，空格处意为“由……组成”，是固定短语consist of，不用被动语态，由上一句中的make是原形可知，时态是一般现在时，主语A healthy diet是单数，因此空格处动词用第三人称单数，故填consists，of。
43. The woman seemed to like the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day.(同义句)
________ ________ ________ the woman liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day.
【答案】 ①. It ②. seemed ③. that
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型，主语从句和时态。句意：这个女人似乎很喜欢水泵里的水，所以她每天都叫人把水送到家里。对比两句话可知，空格处意为“似乎”，用句型It seems/seemed that...，其中it是形式主语，that引导的是主语从句，位于句首的单词首字母大写，因此空格处是It seemed that，故填It，seemed，that。
44. Could he be admitted into a university in the future It depends on his attitude to study. (同义句)
________ ________ ________ ________ admitted into a university in the future depends on his attitude to study.
【答案】 ①. Whether ②. he ③. could ④. be
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意：他将来能否考上大学取决于他的学习态度。分析所给原句和已转换句子可知，是把原句合并为一句，根据句意可知，原句中，后句的it代指前句提到的事，所以可把前句转换为主语从句代替it，前句是问句，所以用whether引导主语从句，从句中语序还原成陈述语序he could be admmited ...。故填①Whether，②he，③could，④be。
45. She fails to get on well with her classmates at school. That is her biggest problem. (改为表语从句)
【答案】Her biggest problem is that she fails to get on well with her classmates at school.
【解析】
【详解】考查表语从句。句意：她在学校里和同学相处不好。这是她最大的问题。原句的第二句中，主语That指代第一句的内容，结合提示可知，可将第二句的表语her biggest problem作为转换后的主语，系动词is不变，用连接词that引导名词性从句，作表语，说明最大的问题是什么。故答案为：Her biggest problem is that she fails to get on well with her classmates at school.
46. They had finished their dinner by the time Sam joined them.(改为被动语态)
【答案】Their dinner had been finished (by them) by the time Sam joined them.
【解析】
【详解】考查被动语态。句意：萨姆加入他们的时候，他们已经吃完了晚饭。根据句意以及句子的要求可知，该句原句可转换为被动语态，主语为Their dinner和动词finish为被动关系，结合原句时态为过去完成时可知，应为过去完成时的被动语态结构had been finished，可以用by them引出动作的发出者，也可以省略；其后的时间状语by the time Sam joined them不变。故答案是：Their dinner had been finished (by them) by the time Sam joined them.
47. 这是我们第二次和那些杰出的科学家一起合作完成研究项目。(It is/was the ... time that...)
【答案】It is/ was the second time that we have/ had cooperated with those outstanding scientists and engaged in the project.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和固定句型。“某人第几次做某事”用固定句型It is/was the ... time that...，主句陈述现在或过去事情，用一般现在时或一般过去时，从句用现在完成时或过去完成时；“与某人合作”用短语cooperate with sb.；“那些杰出的科学家”翻译为 those outstanding scientists；“参加”用短语engage in。根据句意，故翻译为It is/ was the second time that we have/ had cooperated with those outstanding scientists and engaged in the project.

With the development of technology and the Internet, online education, as a useful supplement to the traditional education, is gaining more and more popularity.
Online education undoubtedly has its advantages. Firstly, it is not limited by time and place, which enables students to have access to their study materials whenever and wherever they like. Moreover, the videos can be played over and over again, providing different learners with more flexible learning methods. However, online education also has some disadvantages. The increase in screen time will cause vision loss, which is harmful to their health. What’s worse, online education will reduce the interaction and communication between students and teachers.

While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned that school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, right then and there, my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t.”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear she was not a professional entertainer. My parents ran a small grocery store (杂货店), and the only singing my mom did was in the shower.
“Um,” I said on our way home, “are you sure this is such a good idea ” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school’s Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” “I know volunteering is important,” I said, “but couldn’t you help out in Tex and Indi’s kindergarten instead ” She laughed. “Don’t be silly. We’ll have great fun!”
“OK, class,” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
1 looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing a strange snowflake hat. “I’m very excited to be here with you guys!” my mom said. “I’m going to teach you a fun little song- and-dance I learnt a few years back, when I did some theater in college. Here it goes!”
Oh, please, oh, please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill (消防演习), or a morning meeting, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself and me !
But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.

She was having so much fun that my classmates clapped and cheered, obviously attracted and immersed in her excellent performance. “Wow! Arizona’s mother is pretty talented!” someone shouted loudly. My eyes were filled with tears of joy.
I was actually proud of her for helping us with our performance. “I’m really glad that you helped my class,” I said to my mom, with gratitude from the bottom of my hear. “Thanks, dear! I also had a wonderful time together with you all.” she replied gently. Undoubtedly, our class performed very well at the Winter Fair, which earned much prize.
