When I was 20, my long distance friend and I were in need of a reunion after three years apart. We decided to book a holiday with a tour company to New Zealand.
Not a day of the trip went by where I didn’t have a smile on my face. Whether it’s skydiving over a volcano or jumping off the tallest building in New Zealand, I enjoyed a lot of excitement and adventure. But one thing I had never done was a tandem jump (串联跳伞). So my friend and I decided to challenge ourselves at the Canyon Swing, which was a 60-metre free fall, two people getting to stay upstanding in a protective belt.
After a few failed attempts to jump, we knew it was time to be brave. We walked slowly to the platform (跳台)，afraid to look straight down. With our throats feeling tight and hearts beating out of our chests, we finally got the courage to step off the platform.
My body tightened and I was sure my heart would explode as we fell quickly down towards the rough rocks below. Our hair flying wildly in the wind, our faces frozen in place, the view of the cliff and surrounding trees became just a blur (模糊) of greens and browns rushing past our eyes.
The fall felt both lightning quick and like a long, dull movie. For a moment that felt like forever, my mind completely emptied. I didn’t even realize I had been screaming the whole time until we were at the end of the rope, gently swinging above the clear water under us. Joyful and light headed, we just stayed there swinging and laughing with delight while our bodies shook.
It was terrifying but I truly had the time of my life!
24．What did the author go to New Zealand for
A.Business travel. B.Meeting a friend.
C.Seeking a fortune. D.Family reunion,
25．What made the author try a tandem jump
A.The invitation from a friend. B.The dream to drop freely,
C.The interest in sports. D.The desire for self-challenge.
26．What is Paragraph 4 intended to tell us
A.View in the sky. B.Height of the fall.
C.Courage to take risks. D.Tension during the jump.
27．How would the author describe their tandem jump
A.Exciting and Enjoyable. B.Scary and meaningless.
C.Challenging but flat. D.Easy but exciting.
We often hear honesty is the best policy, and no one likes to be called a liar. But is dishonesty always wrong
Not necessarily.
According to psychologists, there are two types of lies: lies that help your relationships and the people around you are called pro-social lies; and lies that hurt them are called antisocial lies.
How often have you clicked “Like” on Wechat Moment, not because you actually like what your friends posted, but because you want to show your support This white lie is an example of a pro-social lie. But when people tell lies on social networks to make their own lives seem more exciting, or to make others jealous, this is antisocial lying.
Workplace lies range from harmless lies to destructive untruthful statements. An example of a pro-social workplace lie is complimenting someone on their presentation —even though it was only average —because you know they were nervous beforehand. In this case your intention is simply to protect your colleague’s feelings. However, people sometimes tell bigger lies at work for the purpose of avoiding blame or to stay on the boss’s good side. These are antisocial lies. They are antisocial because your boss is likely to discover the truth and as a result, will probably stop trusting you.
Lying is also a significant part of the natural world. So it’s little wonder we resort(求助)to it almost by instinct. Human babies sometimes pretend to cry, check to see if anyone is listening, and then start crying again. By the age of five, children learn to say things that are completely untrue, and most nine-year-olds have mastered keeping secrets to protect themselves.
Lying can be incredibly harmful to our relationships and to the people around us. But that’s only true for antisocial lies. Pro-social lies have the opposite effect—they can actually help us.
28．What may help us tell a pro-social lie from an antisocial lie
A.The purpose it serves. B.The way it is told.
C.The occasion where it is told. D.The people it is told to.
29．What does the underlined word “complimenting” probably mean in paragraph5
A.Criticizing. B.Praising. C.Remarking. D.Claiming.
30．Why does the author mention bigger lies at work
A.They help with hiding the truth.
B.They show the intention of protecting others.
C.They prove that workplace lies can be destructive.
D.They tend to avoid blame or to stay on the boss’s good side.
31．What’s the text intended to do
A.To warn that lies could harm us.
B.To remind that honesty is the best policy.
C.To make it clear that lying is a second nature.
D.To persuade that there are some lies that we need to tell.
A new study proves when their teenagers cut back on social media use, they seem to feel better about themselves. Helen Thai, a doctoral student in psychology at McGill University, conducted the study. She said the research came from her own personal experiences. “I couldn’t help but compare myself when I was using social media, making me unsatisfied with my self-image.” Thai says. Although she was aware that social media posts often presented images that can be unrealistic in real life, it still had a negative impact on her. So, Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether reduced time on social media would increase self-confidence in body image.
They hired a few hundred volunteers, aged 14-18, all of whom had experienced signs of anxiety or depression, which could make them easier to be affected by social media. Half of the teens were asked to reduce their social media to 60 minutes a day for three weeks. The other half continued to use social media freely, which averaged about three hours per day. The researchers gave the teens surveys at the beginning and end of the study. It included statements such as “I’m pretty happy about the way I look,” and “I am satisfied with my weight.”
Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance satisfaction improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a 5 point scale. “This may seem like a small change, but any change in such a short period of time is striking,” the authors say.
“This research showed promising results that weight and appearance confidence can improve when people cut back on social media use,” wrote Thai. Thai says it’s encouraging that teens were willing to cut back screen time, even for three weeks. It’s also worth experimenting this approach with other groups, such as people with or at risk of eating disorders.
32．What inspired Thai to do the research
A.Her major. B.Online posts. C.Her experience. D.Social pressure.
33．What do the volunteers have in common
A.Family background. B.Mental problems.
C.Learning abilities. D.Body shape.
34．What did Thai think of the result of their study
A.It proved their expectation. B.It made them disappointed.
C.It changed their first idea. D.It needed further study.
35．What is a suitable title for the text
A.Higher confidence, more image satisfaction
B.Less social media use, less image anxiety
C.To be a social media addict or not
D.Social media, love at first sight

七、读后续写
54．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The man was kind of small, but to a five-year-old, he was a giant. Cherry-scented smoke from Grandpa’s pipe kept the hungry mosquitoes at bay. Now and again, he blew a smoke ring and laughed as I tried to target the hole with my finger.
We sat side by side on the old wooden stairs that hot summer evening, watching the traffic, counting cars and trying to guess the color of the next one to turn the corner. We watched the sun go down behind the old Texaco service station across the busy street, which I was never allowed to cross unless accompanied by an adult.
My grandfather was baby-sitting while my mother, father and grandmother went out. While my two baby brothers slept inside the house, my three older siblings (兄弟姐妹) played with friends around the corner, where I was not allowed to go. I stayed with Grandpa, and that was okay with me. “Thirsty ” Grandpa asked, never removing the pipe from his mouth. “Yes,” was my reply. “How would you like to run over to the gas station there and get yourself a bottle of Coke ” I couldn’t believe my ears. On my family’s modest income, Coke was not a part of our budget or diet. “Okay,” I replied shyly, already wondering how I would get across the street.
He stretched his long leg out straight and reached his huge hand deep into the pocket. Opening his fist, he exposed several silver coins. He instructed me to pick out one. After he deposited the rest of the change back into his pocket, he stood up. “Okay,” he said, helping me down the stairs and to the curb (马路沿儿).
“I’m going to stay here and keep an ear out for the babies. I’ll tell you when it’s safe to cross. You go over to the Coke machine, get your Coke out and come back. Wait for me to tell you when it’s safe to cross back.” My heart pounded. Excitement took my breath away.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Grandpa held my hand tightly.

He just sat on the floor and hoped maybe somebody would realize what had happened, but on.
Saturday and Sunday, Peter knew nobody would be there. He slept most of the time to forget how hungry he was. So he was in the lift the whole weekend from Friday evening until Monday morning.

He hadn’t eaten since Friday afternoon and was very hungry. The first thing Peter did was to phone his wife to say that he was okay. Peter will soon be the fittest man in his office.

(你有多少次在微信朋友圈点击“赞”，不是因为你真的喜欢你的朋友发的东西，而是因为你想表达你的支持？这个善意的谎言是亲社会谎言的一个例子。但是，当人们在社交网络上撒谎，让自己的生活看起来更精彩，或者让别人嫉妒时，这就是反社会的谎言。)”可知，行为的目的可以帮助我们区分有利于社会的谎言和反社会的谎言，故选A项。
29．答案：B
解析：词义猜测题。根据第五段中“An example of a pro-social workplace lie is complimenting someone on their presentation —even though it was only average —because you know they were nervous beforehand. (亲社会的职场谎言的一个例子是……某人的演讲——即使这只是平均水平——因为你知道他们事先很紧张。)”可知，事先知道他们演讲很紧张，虽然他们的演讲很平常，还是要赞扬，这是亲社会的职场谎言，可推知complimenting的含义为“赞扬”，故选B项。
30．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段中“However, people sometimes tell bigger lies at work for the purpose of avoiding blame or to stay on the boss’s good side. These are antisocial lies. They are antisocial because your boss is likely to discover the truth and as a result, will probably stop trusting you. (然而，人们有时会在工作中说更大的谎言，以避免责备或站在老板的一边。这些都是反社会的谎言。他们是反社会的，因为你的老板很可能会发现真相，因此可能会不再信任你。)”可知，作者提到工作场合中的更大的谎言是为了说明这些谎言可能是破坏性的。这些谎言的目的是为了避免责备或讨好老板，但会被老板发现，从而导致信任的丧失。证明了职场中这样的谎言可能是破坏性的，故选C项。
31．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。通读全文，尤其最后一段“Lying can be incredibly harmful to our relationships and to the people around us. But that’s only true for antisocial lies. Pro-social lies have the opposite effect—they can actually help us. (撒谎可能对我们的人际关系和我们周围的人造成难以置信的伤害。但这只适用于反社会的谎言。亲社会的谎言会产生相反的效果——它们实际上可以帮助我们。)”可知，文章通过区分亲社会谎言和反社会谎言，以及给出生活中的例子，来论证在某些情况下说谎可能是为了维护关系、避免不必要的伤害而必要的。因此，文章试图说服读者接受这个观点：有些谎言是我们需要说的，故选D项。
32．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“She said the research came from her own personal experiences.(她说，这项研究来自她自己的个人经历)”可知，个人经历激发了Thai做这项研究。故选C。
33．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“They hired a few hundred volunteers, aged 14-18, all of whom had experienced signs of anxiety or depression, which could make them easier to be affected by social media.(他们雇佣了几百名年龄在14-18岁之间的志愿者，他们都有焦虑或抑郁的迹象，这可能使他们更容易受到社交媒体的影响)”可知，志愿者的共同点是有心理问题。故选B。
34．答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“So, Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether reduced time on social media would increase self-confidence in body image.(因此，Thai和一组研究人员决定测试减少在社交媒体上的时间是否会增加对身体形象的自信)”最后一段“ ‘This research showed promising results that weight and appearance confidence can improve when people cut back on social media use,’ wrote Thai. Thai says it’s encouraging that teens were willing to cut back screen time, even for three weeks.(Thai写道：“这项研究显示了令人鼓舞的结果，当人们减少社交媒体的使用时，体重和外表的信心就会得到改善。”Thai说，青少年愿意减少看屏幕的时间，即使只有三周，这是令人鼓舞的)”可知，Thai认为他们的研究结果证明了他们的预期。故选A。
35．答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study proves when their teenagers cut back on social media use, they seem to feel better about themselves.(一项新的研究证明，当青少年减少社交媒体的使用时，他们似乎对自己感觉更好)”结合文章主要介绍了研究开展的经过以及发现。可知，B选项“减少社交媒体使用，减少形象焦虑”最符合文章标题。故选B。

(你不必在花店花几百美元购买昂贵的花束。)”上下文一致，符合文意，G项与下一句“You can just make your own arrangement with flowers from the supermarket, and wrap them in brown paper for a nice look on your budget.（你可以用超市里买的花自己做一个花束，用牛皮纸包起来，在你的预算范围内看起来很漂亮。）”是顺接关系。故选G项。
④根据下文“Booking monthly gifts is more popular than ever. From flowers to wines of the month, and even fresh coffee beans from local producers, you can show your appreciation for all she does for the whole year, rather than just one day.(预订每月礼物比以往任何时候都更受欢迎。从鲜花到当月的葡萄酒，甚至是当地生产商的新鲜咖啡豆，您可以对她一整年所做的一切表示感谢，而不仅仅是一天。)”可知，本段是在讲述要经常送礼物，与A项“Keep the gifts coming. (让礼物不断到来。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选A项。
⑤根据上文“Spend some quality time. It’s lovely to get presents, but what your mum probably wants more than everything is to spend some quality time with you. Treat her to a day out with an activity she’ll love, whether she’s into wine tasting or an elegant afternoon tea.(花一些有质量的时间。收到礼物是件好事，但你妈妈最想要的可能是和你共度美好时光。带她出去玩一天，做点她喜欢的活动，不管是品酒还是优雅的下午茶。)”可知，本段是在讲述如何和妈妈共度美好时光，F项“Or spend the day at home, letting her put her feet up while you cook.

52．答案：its ;that ;a ;to pass ;escaping ;which ;warmer;in ;greatly ;contributions
解析：①考查代词。句意：全球变暖指的是地球表面附近的大气层正在变暖——换句话说，它正在变得越来越热。修饰后文名词surface应用形容词性物主代词its。故填its。
②考查强调句。句意：一些科学家说正是人类的活动导致了全球变暖。say后的宾语从句去掉it is和设空处句子依然完整，由此可知，此处考查强调句型it is/was +被强调部分+that（强调人可用who），此处强调的human activity，应用that。故填that。
③考查冠词。句意：组成大气的气体类似于温室，因为它们允许阳光穿过大气层，然后捕获大部分热量。greenhouse“温室”为可数名词，此处表泛指，应用不定冠词，且该词的发音为辅音音素开头，应用冠词a。故填a。

⑥考查定语从句。句意：这种自然发生的现象，被称为温室效应，使地球表面保持比实际温度更高的温度。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为phenomenon，指物，关系词代替它在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
⑦考查形容词比较级。句意：这种自然发生的现象，被称为温室效应，使地球表面保持比实际温度更高的温度。此处应用形容词作宾补，结合语境和下文than可知应用其比较级。故填warmer。
⑧考查介词。句意：虽然科学家们一致认为人类产生的化合物，如二氧化碳和其他化合物正在被释放到大气中，但一些人认为，尚不清楚这是如何导致温度变化的。结合句意可知，此处为固定短语result in“导致”。故填in。
⑨考查副词。句意：全球变暖可以在许多层面上极大地影响人类生活。修饰动词affect应用副词。故填greatly。
⑩考查名词。句意：科学家们在找出地球变暖的时间、速度以及造成这种变暖的因素方面做出了巨大的贡献。此处应用名词作宾语，make contributions to“为......做出贡献”。故填contributions。
53．答案：
Dear schoolmates,
Because of water pollution and ever-lasting population, human beings face serious water crisis. Aimed at saving water, the water-saving program has been held recently in our school. As for us students, it’s essential and vital to participate in it.
As a matter of fact, there are many phenomena of water wasting in our daily life. For example, many students spend too much time having a shower and don’t turn off the tap immediately after washing hands, both of which lead to water wasting. Therefore, effective measures should be taken to raise everyone’s awareness of saving water. First we can take a bath instead of taking a shower, and switch off the tap at once after washing hands. What’s more, reusing water is also a good way to save water.
My dear friends, let’s join hands to take action immediately. Every effort counts.

Grandpa held my hand tightly. We stepped off the curb and not until he confirmed I was safe to cross did he let go of my hand. “Go for it.” Grandpa said, patting me on the shoulder gently. On hearing that, I dashed out, overwhelmed with joy. I ran faster than ever before, my coin held tightly in my sweaty palm. The street seemed wide. I was wondering if I would make it when I arrived at the other side. Turning around, I saw my Grandpa. There he was, standing exactly where I had left him, I waved to my Grandpa proudly.
My heart pounded more wildly as I approached the Coke machine. I couldn’t wait to walk directly to it and fed the coin. I had dreamed about this moment many times. The big old monster greedily swallowed my coin. Reaching up on tiptoes, I grabbed one. Coke in hand, I proudly marched back. Grandpa was waiting patiently, his face spreading in a satisfied smile. Looking around, he yelled, “Come on, now.” I moved swiftly across the street and threw myself into his arms. What a thrilling experience! Years later, whenever think of my Grandpa, his love and warmth is still like a road to accompany me through my life.

When I was 20, my long distance friend and I were in need of a reunion after three years apart. We decided to book a holiday with a tour company to New Zealand.
Not a day of the trip went by where I didn’t have a smile on my face. Whether it’s skydiving over a volcano or jumping off the tallest building in New Zealand, I enjoyed a lot of excitement and adventure. But one thing I had never done was a tandem jump (串联跳伞). So my friend and I decided to challenge ourselves at the Canyon Swing, which was a 60-metre free fall, two people getting to stay upstanding in a protective belt.
After a few failed attempts to jump, we knew it was time to be brave. We walked slowly to the platform (跳台)，afraid to look straight down. With our throats feeling tight and hearts beating out of our chests, we finally got the courage to step off the platform.
My body tightened and I was sure my heart would explode as we fell quickly down towards the rough rocks below. Our hair flying wildly in the wind, our faces frozen in place, the view of the cliff and surrounding trees became just a blur (模糊) of greens and browns rushing past our eyes.
The fall felt both lightning quick and like a long, dull movie. For a moment that felt like forever, my mind completely emptied. I didn’t even realize I had been screaming the whole time until we were at the end of the rope, gently swinging above the clear water under us. Joyful and light headed, we just stayed there swinging and laughing with delight while our bodies shook.
It was terrifying but I truly had the time of my life!
24．What did the author go to New Zealand for
A.Business travel. B.Meeting a friend.
C.Seeking a fortune. D.Family reunion,
25．What made the author try a tandem jump
A.The invitation from a friend. B.The dream to drop freely,
C.The interest in sports. D.The desire for self-challenge.
26．What is Paragraph 4 intended to tell us
A.View in the sky. B.Height of the fall.
C.Courage to take risks. D.Tension during the jump.
27．How would the author describe their tandem jump
A.Exciting and Enjoyable. B.Scary and meaningless.
C.Challenging but flat. D.Easy but exciting.
We often hear honesty is the best policy, and no one likes to be called a liar. But is dishonesty always wrong
Not necessarily.
According to psychologists, there are two types of lies: lies that help your relationships and the people around you are called pro-social lies; and lies that hurt them are called antisocial lies.
How often have you clicked “Like” on Wechat Moment, not because you actually like what your friends posted, but because you want to show your support This white lie is an example of a pro-social lie. But when people tell lies on social networks to make their own lives seem more exciting, or to make others jealous, this is antisocial lying.
Workplace lies range from harmless lies to destructive untruthful statements. An example of a pro-social workplace lie is complimenting someone on their presentation —even though it was only average —because you know they were nervous beforehand. In this case your intention is simply to protect your colleague’s feelings. However, people sometimes tell bigger lies at work for the purpose of avoiding blame or to stay on the boss’s good side. These are antisocial lies. They are antisocial because your boss is likely to discover the truth and as a result, will probably stop trusting you.
Lying is also a significant part of the natural world. So it’s little wonder we resort(求助)to it almost by instinct. Human babies sometimes pretend to cry, check to see if anyone is listening, and then start crying again. By the age of five, children learn to say things that are completely untrue, and most nine-year-olds have mastered keeping secrets to protect themselves.
Lying can be incredibly harmful to our relationships and to the people around us. But that’s only true for antisocial lies. Pro-social lies have the opposite effect—they can actually help us.
28．What may help us tell a pro-social lie from an antisocial lie
A.The purpose it serves. B.The way it is told.
C.The occasion where it is told. D.The people it is told to.
29．What does the underlined word “complimenting” probably mean in paragraph5
A.Criticizing. B.Praising. C.Remarking. D.Claiming.
30．Why does the author mention bigger lies at work
A.They help with hiding the truth.
B.They show the intention of protecting others.
C.They prove that workplace lies can be destructive.
D.They tend to avoid blame or to stay on the boss’s good side.
31．What’s the text intended to do
A.To warn that lies could harm us.
B.To remind that honesty is the best policy.
C.To make it clear that lying is a second nature.
D.To persuade that there are some lies that we need to tell.
A new study proves when their teenagers cut back on social media use, they seem to feel better about themselves. Helen Thai, a doctoral student in psychology at McGill University, conducted the study. She said the research came from her own personal experiences. “I couldn’t help but compare myself when I was using social media, making me unsatisfied with my self-image.” Thai says. Although she was aware that social media posts often presented images that can be unrealistic in real life, it still had a negative impact on her. So, Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether reduced time on social media would increase self-confidence in body image.
They hired a few hundred volunteers, aged 14-18, all of whom had experienced signs of anxiety or depression, which could make them easier to be affected by social media. Half of the teens were asked to reduce their social media to 60 minutes a day for three weeks. The other half continued to use social media freely, which averaged about three hours per day. The researchers gave the teens surveys at the beginning and end of the study. It included statements such as “I’m pretty happy about the way I look,” and “I am satisfied with my weight.”
Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance satisfaction improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a 5 point scale. “This may seem like a small change, but any change in such a short period of time is striking,” the authors say.
“This research showed promising results that weight and appearance confidence can improve when people cut back on social media use,” wrote Thai. Thai says it’s encouraging that teens were willing to cut back screen time, even for three weeks. It’s also worth experimenting this approach with other groups, such as people with or at risk of eating disorders.
32．What inspired Thai to do the research
A.Her major. B.Online posts. C.Her experience. D.Social pressure.
33．What do the volunteers have in common
A.Family background. B.Mental problems.
C.Learning abilities. D.Body shape.
34．What did Thai think of the result of their study
A.It proved their expectation. B.It made them disappointed.
C.It changed their first idea. D.It needed further study.
35．What is a suitable title for the text
A.Higher confidence, more image satisfaction
B.Less social media use, less image anxiety
C.To be a social media addict or not
D.Social media, love at first sight

七、读后续写
54．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The man was kind of small, but to a five-year-old, he was a giant. Cherry-scented smoke from Grandpa’s pipe kept the hungry mosquitoes at bay. Now and again, he blew a smoke ring and laughed as I tried to target the hole with my finger.
We sat side by side on the old wooden stairs that hot summer evening, watching the traffic, counting cars and trying to guess the color of the next one to turn the corner. We watched the sun go down behind the old Texaco service station across the busy street, which I was never allowed to cross unless accompanied by an adult.
My grandfather was baby-sitting while my mother, father and grandmother went out. While my two baby brothers slept inside the house, my three older siblings (兄弟姐妹) played with friends around the corner, where I was not allowed to go. I stayed with Grandpa, and that was okay with me. “Thirsty ” Grandpa asked, never removing the pipe from his mouth. “Yes,” was my reply. “How would you like to run over to the gas station there and get yourself a bottle of Coke ” I couldn’t believe my ears. On my family’s modest income, Coke was not a part of our budget or diet. “Okay,” I replied shyly, already wondering how I would get across the street.
He stretched his long leg out straight and reached his huge hand deep into the pocket. Opening his fist, he exposed several silver coins. He instructed me to pick out one. After he deposited the rest of the change back into his pocket, he stood up. “Okay,” he said, helping me down the stairs and to the curb (马路沿儿).
“I’m going to stay here and keep an ear out for the babies. I’ll tell you when it’s safe to cross. You go over to the Coke machine, get your Coke out and come back. Wait for me to tell you when it’s safe to cross back.” My heart pounded. Excitement took my breath away.

His office is on the twelfth floor. When Peter finished at eight o’clock, he locked his office and got into the lift, but he didn’t get out again until Monday morning. He pressed the button for the ground floor and the lift started going down but then stopped. He pressed the button again but nothing happened. He pressed the alarm and shouted, but nobody heard him. Most people had already gone home. Peter tried to phone his wife, but his mobile didn’t work in the lift. He couldn’t do anything. He just sat on the floor and hoped maybe somebody would realize what had happened, but on.
Saturday and Sunday, Peter knew nobody would be there. He slept most of the time to forget how hungry he was. So he was in the lift the whole weekend from Friday evening until Monday morning. At eight o’clock when the office workers arrived, they phoned the emergency number and somebody came and repaired the lift. Peter was very happy to get out. He hadn’t eaten since Friday afternoon and was very hungry. The first thing Peter did was to phone his wife to say that he was okay. Peter will soon be the fittest man in his office. From now on, he’s going to take the stairs every day.

52．答案：its ;that ;a ;to pass ;escaping ;which ;warmer;in ;greatly ;contributions
解析：①考查代词。句意：全球变暖指的是地球表面附近的大气层正在变暖——换句话说，它正在变得越来越热。修饰后文名词surface应用形容词性物主代词its。故填its。
②考查强调句。句意：一些科学家说正是人类的活动导致了全球变暖。say后的宾语从句去掉it is和设空处句子依然完整，由此可知，此处考查强调句型it is/was +被强调部分+that（强调人可用who），此处强调的human activity，应用that。故填that。
③考查冠词。句意：组成大气的气体类似于温室，因为它们允许阳光穿过大气层，然后捕获大部分热量。greenhouse“温室”为可数名词，此处表泛指，应用不定冠词，且该词的发音为辅音音素开头，应用冠词a。故填a。
④考查不定式。句意：组成大气的气体类似于温室，因为它们允许阳光穿过大气层，然后捕获大部分热量。此处为固定短语allow...to do sth.“允许......做某事”，不定式作宾补。故填to pass。
⑤考查动名词。句意：组成大气的气体类似于温室，因为它们允许阳光穿过大气层，然后捕获大部分热量。from为介词，其后接动名词作宾语。故填escaping。
⑥考查定语从句。句意：这种自然发生的现象，被称为温室效应，使地球表面保持比实际温度更高的温度。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为phenomenon，指物，关系词代替它在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
⑦考查形容词比较级。句意：这种自然发生的现象，被称为温室效应，使地球表面保持比实际温度更高的温度。此处应用形容词作宾补，结合语境和下文than可知应用其比较级。故填warmer。
⑧考查介词。句意：虽然科学家们一致认为人类产生的化合物，如二氧化碳和其他化合物正在被释放到大气中，但一些人认为，尚不清楚这是如何导致温度变化的。结合句意可知，此处为固定短语result in“导致”。故填in。
⑨考查副词。句意：全球变暖可以在许多层面上极大地影响人类生活。修饰动词affect应用副词。故填greatly。
⑩考查名词。句意：科学家们在找出地球变暖的时间、速度以及造成这种变暖的因素方面做出了巨大的贡献。此处应用名词作宾语，make contributions to“为......做出贡献”。故填contributions。

Dear schoolmates,
Because of water pollution and ever-lasting population, human beings face serious water crisis. Aimed at saving water, the water-saving program has been held recently in our school. As for us students, it’s essential and vital to participate in it.

54．答案：
Grandpa held my hand tightly. We stepped off the curb and not until he confirmed I was safe to cross did he let go of my hand. “Go for it.” Grandpa said, patting me on the shoulder gently. On hearing that, I dashed out, overwhelmed with joy. I ran faster than ever before, my coin held tightly in my sweaty palm. The street seemed wide. I was wondering if I would make it when I arrived at the other side. Turning around, I saw my Grandpa. There he was, standing exactly where I had left him, I waved to my Grandpa proudly.
My heart pounded more wildly as I approached the Coke machine. I couldn’t wait to walk directly to it and fed the coin. I had dreamed about this moment many times. The big old monster greedily swallowed my coin. Reaching up on tiptoes, I grabbed one. Coke in hand, I proudly marched back. Grandpa was waiting patiently, his face spreading in a satisfied smile. Looking around, he yelled, “Come on, now.” I moved swiftly across the street and threw myself into his arms. What a thrilling experience! Years later, whenever think of my Grandpa, his love and warmth is still like a road to accompany me through my life.
