For twelve years I’d worked at the hospital. One day they told me I was no longer needed. I understood that it was a cost-cutting move to replace me with someone with less experience and a lower salary.
But my understanding didn’t excise the pain of feeling abandoned and useless. At sixty-two, what opportunities existed for someone at my age “Dear Lord,” I prayed, “show me the way.” As he so often does, he answered through someone else, a fellow health educator at another hospital. When I shared my worries about my future, she told me about a conference she had attended recently.
“I’ve just learned the most helpful tool,” she said. “No matter what the situation is, there is an opposite, a benefit. Our typical response is to focus on the losses of job, marriage, home, or even health. Instead, the speaker told us to concentrate on finding what we gained with our loss.” At first, I resisted her advice as I was extremely sad. I missed the meaningful challenges of organizing health education classes for the sick. But as time passed, I grew tired of my sorrow. Maybe I should try my friend’s advice and seek some opposites.
Yet it wasn’t until our trip to Africa that I understood the power of opposite thinking. In 2023, we flew eight thousand miles to a village in West Africa. We brought many presents, believing that somehow we could improve the villagers’ lives. Instead, they taught us the opposite. Our lives were the ones that needed improving.
Despite living in mud huts without modern conveniences, running water, or sanitation (卫生设备), the villagers appeared content. Frequently laughing and greeting each other, they truly cared for their neighbors. Although we slept on the ground, I felt a peace I hadn’t known since I left my job. I had expected we would spend our time helping the poor villagers. Instead, they were teaching us that having less meant less to worry about and more time and energy for each other. These wonderful people with a different faith taught me an important lesson that guided me through the darkness of life.
24．What can we learn about the author
A．She lacked work experience. B．She demanded higher salary.
C．She didn’t perform well at work. D．She was dismissed by the hospital.
25．What does the underlined word “excise” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Remove. B．Deepen. C．Classify. D．Describe.
26．What did the fellow health educator suggest the author do
A．Reevaluate her situation and find solutions to the failure.
B．Search for inner peace and cast off the economic darkness.
C．Stay positive and concentrate on health care education.
D．Shift her attitude to adversity and look on the bright side.
27．What lesson did the author learn from the villagers in Africa
A．Face up to the cruel realities of life.
B．Fortune favors those who use their judgement.
C．Owning more not necessarily adds to our happiness.
D．Devoting to volunteering can gain a sense of achievement.
C
July 2023 was the world’s warmest month on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization. As heatwaves had spread across North America, Asia and Europe, UN Secretary — General Antonio Guterres said in a speech that the planet is entering an “era of global boiling”.
How to cool the planet has long been a troubling question for scientists. They are now turning to sun-blocking technology, which refers to reflecting sunlight back into space in order to keep down the temperature of the planet’s climate.
According to Euronews, a European television news network, one idea involves pumping sun- blocking particles (粒子) into the upper atmosphere. The particles will then stay in the air and redirect sunshine back upwards. It is like applying sunscreen on the outside of Earth. Researchers at Yale University, US, outlined a plan to use 125 high-flying planes to spread the particles at latitudes (纬度) of 60 degrees north and south. The particles will then travel toward the poles, which could possibly cool the temperature there by 2 ℃. In the future, the planes could be used to refreeze the poles, said the researchers.
Another very promising technique is called “cloud brightening”, according to Chris Sacca, a US climate expert. This method involves sending sea salt particles into clouds above the sea, making them whiter and thus reflect more sunlight back into space.
In June, the US government announced in a report that it is now offering support for solar engineering research as a way to slow the rise of global temperatures. According to the report, the US government believes that the technology “offers the possibility of cooling the planet significantly on a timescale of a few years”.
However, following the report, an open letter by more than 60 scientists called for caution and more research first. Kristen Rasmussen, a climate scientist at Colorado State University, US, has been studying how these sun-blocking methods will affect rainfall patterns. She said that apart from rainfall, ecosystems and even human communities will also be affected. “We need to be very cautious on this,” Rasmussen told Scientific American.
28．Which solution is used to deal with global warming
A．Blocking the sunlight coming from the sun.
B．Reflecting the sunlight back into the space.
C．Using sunscreen on the surface of the Earth.
D．Applying advanced technology to weather control.
29．Which of the following does the writer agree with according to the text
A．The sun-blocking particles will cool the temperature at the poles to 2 ℃.
B．The sea-salt particles will reflect the sunlight back into the planet.
C．The US government believes that cloud brightening will work well this year.
D．Both sun-blocking techniques are using the principles of light reflection.
30．What is the writer’s attitude towards the sun-blocking technology
A．Positive. B．Doubtful. C．Cautious. D．Objective.
31．Where is the passage probably taken from
A．A travel journal. B．A news report.
C．A science magazine. D．A story collection.
D
A newly engineered type of soil can draw water out of thin air to provide plants with water and manage controlled release of fertilizer (肥料) for a constant supply of nutrients.
Supporting this exciting smart soil system is a hydrogel (水凝胶) material. In experiments, the soil containing hydrogel led to the growth of larger, healthier plants, compared to regular soil, all while using less water and fertilizer. The technology is also universal enough to be adopted across a wide range of climates, from dry regions to temperate areas.
Agriculture today accounts for 70% of global freshwater withdrawals and up to 95% in some developing countries as our global population continues to rise. The U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) emphasizes the importance of improving irrigation (灌溉) efficiency, adopting water-saving technologies and promoting crops with lower water footprints to ensure sustainable food production and water resource management.
Meanwhile, traditional farming methods, especially irrigation and fertilizing, face significant difficulties. As climate change intensifies and water resources become increasingly rare, the need for more efficient and sustainable irrigation practices has never been more urgent. Additionally, conventional fertilization techniques often result in too much nutrient exposure, reducing nutrient uptake efficiency and causing environmental pollution, and farmable land degradation.
“The lack of water coupled with a growing population has an immediate impact on food security,” said Yu, professor of Materials Science in the Cockrell School. “This new class of hydrogels offers a solution to meet the pressing needs of water and efficient nutrient uptake in modern sustainable agriculture.”
In experiments, plants rooted in the hydrogel soil saw a 138% increase in crop length compared to a control group in regular soil. And the improved soil can achieve 40% water savings, significantly reducing the need for frequent irrigation and ensuring strong crop development.
This research builds on previous discoveries involving hydrogels that can pull water from the atmosphere and make farming more efficient. The project will continue, and the researchers’ next moves involve integrating different types of fertilizers and longer field tests.
32．What is special about the smart soil
A．It provides air to regular soil. B．It can absorb water from the air.
C．It creates fertilizer with air. D．It can be used all over the world.
33．What is a challenge traditional farming methods face
A．The shortage of fertilizer. B．The lack of qualified seeds.
C．The decrease of labor force. D．The inefficient irrigation methods.
34．What does Professor Yu think of the new system
A．It is impractical. B．It is simple.
C．It is time-consuming. D．It is far-reaching.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．Smart Soil Can Water and Feed Itself
B．Hydrogel Will Take the Place of Soil
C．Modern Agriculture Is Facing Drought
D．Smart Soil Is Approved for Promotion

Once upon a time, there lived a young boy named Jack who harbored a deep passion for playing the piano, a passion that lit his soul and filled his days with melodies. His dream was to become a famous pianist, hoping to charm audiences with his enchanting tunes. Every night, as he lay in bed, he imagined himself standing on grand stages. receiving thunderous applause and the admiration of countless music lovers.
However, life had other plans for him. When Jack was interviewed for a well-known music school, his heart sank as he received a rejection letter, stating that his skills were not up to the school’s high standards, a cruel blow that left him feeling uncertain about his future.
Disappointed but not discouraged, Jack decided to turn his setback into a stepping stone. Every day after school, he would rush to a small, dimly lit room in his basement, where an old piano stood as a silent witness to his unwavering determination. The room was humble, with barely enough space for him and the piano, but it was there that he poured his heart and soul into his craft. Hours turned into days, and days into months, with Jack’s fingers bleeding from the constant practice. Despite the pain and exhaustion, he continued to press on, driven by his dream and the belief that one day he would prove them all wrong.
Seeking guidance, Jack turned to a retired pianist in the neighborhood who had once been a renowned performer. The retired pianist, impressed by Jack’s dedication and passion, took him under his wing and provided him with invaluable insights and comments. He taught Jack to refine his skills and technique, helping him to understand the art of performing.

第一节（范文）
Last Sunday, I participated in a volunteer activity with the “Volunteer Community” organization. We went to a local orphanage where there were many children waiting for our company to spend time with them. Our activities included playing games, reading stories, and helping with their homework. The children, who were longing for care and attention, were very happy and excited to see us. I felt a deep sense of fulfillment and joy, knowing that our efforts brought smiles to their faces. This experience has strengthened my resolve to continue participating in volunteer work
第二节（范文）
His friends often teased him, calling his efforts useless and reminding him of the school’s rejection. They said he was chasing a dream that was too far out of reach, but Jack had a fire within him that could not be put out. He believed in the power of perseverance and knew that with enough hard work and dedication, he could turn his dreams into reality. His determination was evident in every step he took, every challenge he overcame. He spent countless hours improving his skills.
A year later, the music school announced another interview. Jack nerved himself and submitted his application once again. This time, as he performed, the room resonated not just with notes but with the story of his unwavering determination and relentless pursuit of his dream. His fingers danced across the keys, creating a symphony of emotion and power that left the audience in awe. To everyone’s amazement, including Jack’s, he received an acceptance letter. He was overjoyed. All his efforts and persistence paid off!

29．推理判断题。根据第三段中“According to Euronews, a European television news network, one idea involves pumping sun- blocking particles (粒子) into the upper atmosphere. The particles will then stay in the air and redirect sunshine back upwards. (根据欧洲电视新闻网欧洲新闻的说法，其中一个想法是将阻挡阳光的粒子注入高层大气。这些颗粒会停留在空气中，将阳光重新引向上方。)”和第四段“ Another very promising technique is called “cloud brightening”, according to Chris Sacca, a US climate expert. This method involves sending sea salt particles into clouds above the sea, making them whiter and thus reflect more sunlight back into space.(美国气候专家克里斯 萨卡表示，另一种非常有前途的技术被称为“云彩增亮”。这种方法包括将海盐颗粒送入海面上的云层，使云层变白，从而将更多的阳光反射回太空。)”可推知，这两种防晒技术都采用了光反射原理。故选D。
30．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“According to the report, the US government believes that the technology “offers the possibility of cooling the planet significantly on a timescale of a few years”.(根据这份报告，美国政府认为，这项技术“提供了在几年时间尺度上大幅降低地球温度的可能性”。)”和最后一段中“However, following the report, an open letter by more than 60 scientists called for caution and more research first. Kristen Rasmussen, a climate scientist at Colorado State University, US, has been studying how these sun-blocking methods will affect rainfall patterns. (然而，在这份报告之后，60多位科学家在一封公开信中呼吁谨慎行事，并首先进行更多的研究。)”可知，文章客观描述了这种技术，有有点但也需要谨慎行事，文中并没有提到作者的个人观点，由此可推知，作者对此技术的态度是客观的，故选D。
31．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“How to cool the planet has long been a troubling question for scientists. They are now turning to sun-blocking technology, which refers to reflecting sunlight back into space in order to keep down the temperature of the planet’s climate.(如何使地球降温长期以来一直是困扰科学家的问题。他们现在开始使用遮阳技术，这是指将太阳光反射回太空以降低地球气候的温度。)”可知，文章主要介绍了应对全球变暖的方法——使用遮阳技术，即将太阳光反射回太空以降低地球气候的温度，由此可推知，这是与科学有关，可能选自科学杂志，故选C。

33．细节理解题。根据第四段“As climate change intensifies and water resources become increasingly rare, the need for more efficient and sustainable irrigation practices has never been more urgent.(随着气候变化加剧和水资源日益稀缺，对更有效和可持续的灌溉做法的需求从未像现在这样迫切)”可知，传统农业方法面临的挑战之一是灌溉方法低效。故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据第五段Professor Yu所说的“This new class of hydrogels offers a solution to meet the pressing needs of water and efficient nutrient uptake in modern sustainable agriculture.(这种新型水凝胶提供了一种解决方案，可以满足现代可持续农业对水和有效营养吸收的迫切需求)”可知，这种新型水凝胶提供了一个很有前途的解决方案，可以满足现代可持续农业对水和有效营养吸收的迫切需求，因此是意义深远的。故选D。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“A newly engineered type of soil can draw water out of thin air to provide plants with water and manage controlled release of fertilizer (肥料) for a constant supply of nutrients.(一种新型工程土壤可以从稀薄的空气中汲取水分，为植物提供水分，并控制肥料的释放，以保持养分的持续供应)”提出了一种新型土壤，这种土壤可以从空气中汲取水分，并能控制化肥的用量。然后文章通过与普通土壤的对比介绍了新型土壤的优势。由此可知，本文主要介绍了一种可以自动浇水和施肥的智能土壤，所以A项“智能土壤可以自我浇水和喂养”为本文最好的标题。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了现代社会带来的疲劳综合症及解决办法。
56．考查定语从句。句意：有条件慢性疲劳综合征（CFS）的增加，这是一种身体和精神障碍，使我们感到极度疲劳。空格处与下文的“is a physical and mental disorder that makes us feel extremely tired”在句中充当定语，是非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词 chronic fatigue syndrome，且空格处在定语从句中充当主语，故填 which。
57．考查非谓语动词。句意：我们的生活总是忙碌而匆忙，导致高压力和睡眠不足。result in是固定搭配，意思是“导致”，本句已经存在谓语（系动词）are，所以result应使用非谓语，分析句子可知生活忙碌和导致睡眠不足是主动关系，故填resulting。
58．考查冠词。句意：患有慢性疲劳综合症的人缺乏能量，影响我们一天的方方面面。lack 是可数名词单数, suffer from a lack of…意为“遭受……不足”。故填a。

For twelve years I’d worked at the hospital. One day they told me I was no longer needed. I understood that it was a cost-cutting move to replace me with someone with less experience and a lower salary.
But my understanding didn’t excise the pain of feeling abandoned and useless. At sixty-two, what opportunities existed for someone at my age “Dear Lord,” I prayed, “show me the way.” As he so often does, he answered through someone else, a fellow health educator at another hospital. When I shared my worries about my future, she told me about a conference she had attended recently.
“I’ve just learned the most helpful tool,” she said. “No matter what the situation is, there is an opposite, a benefit. Our typical response is to focus on the losses of job, marriage, home, or even health. Instead, the speaker told us to concentrate on finding what we gained with our loss.” At first, I resisted her advice as I was extremely sad. I missed the meaningful challenges of organizing health education classes for the sick. But as time passed, I grew tired of my sorrow. Maybe I should try my friend’s advice and seek some opposites.
Yet it wasn’t until our trip to Africa that I understood the power of opposite thinking. In 2023, we flew eight thousand miles to a village in West Africa. We brought many presents, believing that somehow we could improve the villagers’ lives. Instead, they taught us the opposite. Our lives were the ones that needed improving.
Despite living in mud huts without modern conveniences, running water, or sanitation (卫生设备), the villagers appeared content. Frequently laughing and greeting each other, they truly cared for their neighbors. Although we slept on the ground, I felt a peace I hadn’t known since I left my job. I had expected we would spend our time helping the poor villagers. Instead, they were teaching us that having less meant less to worry about and more time and energy for each other. These wonderful people with a different faith taught me an important lesson that guided me through the darkness of life.

A．Reevaluate her situation and find solutions to the failure.
B．Search for inner peace and cast off the economic darkness.
C．Stay positive and concentrate on health care education.
D．Shift her attitude to adversity and look on the bright side.
27．What lesson did the author learn from the villagers in Africa
A．Face up to the cruel realities of life.
B．Fortune favors those who use their judgement.
C．Owning more not necessarily adds to our happiness.
D．Devoting to volunteering can gain a sense of achievement.

July 2023 was the world’s warmest month on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization. As heatwaves had spread across North America, Asia and Europe, UN Secretary — General Antonio Guterres said in a speech that the planet is entering an “era of global boiling”.
How to cool the planet has long been a troubling question for scientists. They are now turning to sun-blocking technology, which refers to reflecting sunlight back into space in order to keep down the temperature of the planet’s climate.
According to Euronews, a European television news network, one idea involves pumping sun- blocking particles (粒子) into the upper atmosphere. The particles will then stay in the air and redirect sunshine back upwards. It is like applying sunscreen on the outside of Earth. Researchers at Yale University, US, outlined a plan to use 125 high-flying planes to spread the particles at latitudes (纬度) of 60 degrees north and south. The particles will then travel toward the poles, which could possibly cool the temperature there by 2 ℃. In the future, the planes could be used to refreeze the poles, said the researchers.
Another very promising technique is called “cloud brightening”, according to Chris Sacca, a US climate expert. This method involves sending sea salt particles into clouds above the sea, making them whiter and thus reflect more sunlight back into space.
In June, the US government announced in a report that it is now offering support for solar engineering research as a way to slow the rise of global temperatures. According to the report, the US government believes that the technology “offers the possibility of cooling the planet significantly on a timescale of a few years”.
However, following the report, an open letter by more than 60 scientists called for caution and more research first. Kristen Rasmussen, a climate scientist at Colorado State University, US, has been studying how these sun-blocking methods will affect rainfall patterns. She said that apart from rainfall, ecosystems and even human communities will also be affected. “We need to be very cautious on this,” Rasmussen told Scientific American.
28．Which solution is used to deal with global warming
A．Blocking the sunlight coming from the sun.
B．Reflecting the sunlight back into the space.
C．Using sunscreen on the surface of the Earth.
D．Applying advanced technology to weather control.
29．Which of the following does the writer agree with according to the text
A．The sun-blocking particles will cool the temperature at the poles to 2 ℃.
B．The sea-salt particles will reflect the sunlight back into the planet.
C．The US government believes that cloud brightening will work well this year.
D．Both sun-blocking techniques are using the principles of light reflection.
30．What is the writer’s attitude towards the sun-blocking technology
A．Positive. B．Doubtful. C．Cautious. D．Objective.
31．Where is the passage probably taken from
A．A travel journal. B．A news report.

D
A newly engineered type of soil can draw water out of thin air to provide plants with water and manage controlled release of fertilizer (肥料) for a constant supply of nutrients.
Supporting this exciting smart soil system is a hydrogel (水凝胶) material. In experiments, the soil containing hydrogel led to the growth of larger, healthier plants, compared to regular soil, all while using less water and fertilizer. The technology is also universal enough to be adopted across a wide range of climates, from dry regions to temperate areas.
Agriculture today accounts for 70% of global freshwater withdrawals and up to 95% in some developing countries as our global population continues to rise. The U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) emphasizes the importance of improving irrigation (灌溉) efficiency, adopting water-saving technologies and promoting crops with lower water footprints to ensure sustainable food production and water resource management.
Meanwhile, traditional farming methods, especially irrigation and fertilizing, face significant difficulties. As climate change intensifies and water resources become increasingly rare, the need for more efficient and sustainable irrigation practices has never been more urgent. Additionally, conventional fertilization techniques often result in too much nutrient exposure, reducing nutrient uptake efficiency and causing environmental pollution, and farmable land degradation.
“The lack of water coupled with a growing population has an immediate impact on food security,” said Yu, professor of Materials Science in the Cockrell School. “This new class of hydrogels offers a solution to meet the pressing needs of water and efficient nutrient uptake in modern sustainable agriculture.”
In experiments, plants rooted in the hydrogel soil saw a 138% increase in crop length compared to a control group in regular soil. And the improved soil can achieve 40% water savings, significantly reducing the need for frequent irrigation and ensuring strong crop development.
This research builds on previous discoveries involving hydrogels that can pull water from the atmosphere and make farming more efficient. The project will continue, and the researchers’ next moves involve integrating different types of fertilizers and longer field tests.
32．What is special about the smart soil
A．It provides air to regular soil. B．It can absorb water from the air.
C．It creates fertilizer with air. D．It can be used all over the world.
33．What is a challenge traditional farming methods face
A．The shortage of fertilizer. B．The lack of qualified seeds.
C．The decrease of labor force. D．The inefficient irrigation methods.
34．What does Professor Yu think of the new system
A．It is impractical. B．It is simple.
C．It is time-consuming. D．It is far-reaching.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．Smart Soil Can Water and Feed Itself
B．Hydrogel Will Take the Place of Soil
C．Modern Agriculture Is Facing Drought
D．Smart Soil Is Approved for Promotion

Once upon a time, there lived a young boy named Jack who harbored a deep passion for playing the piano, a passion that lit his soul and filled his days with melodies. His dream was to become a famous pianist, hoping to charm audiences with his enchanting tunes. Every night, as he lay in bed, he imagined himself standing on grand stages. receiving thunderous applause and the admiration of countless music lovers.
However, life had other plans for him. When Jack was interviewed for a well-known music school, his heart sank as he received a rejection letter, stating that his skills were not up to the school’s high standards, a cruel blow that left him feeling uncertain about his future.
Disappointed but not discouraged, Jack decided to turn his setback into a stepping stone. Every day after school, he would rush to a small, dimly lit room in his basement, where an old piano stood as a silent witness to his unwavering determination. The room was humble, with barely enough space for him and the piano, but it was there that he poured his heart and soul into his craft. Hours turned into days, and days into months, with Jack’s fingers bleeding from the constant practice. Despite the pain and exhaustion, he continued to press on, driven by his dream and the belief that one day he would prove them all wrong.
Seeking guidance, Jack turned to a retired pianist in the neighborhood who had once been a renowned performer. The retired pianist, impressed by Jack’s dedication and passion, took him under his wing and provided him with invaluable insights and comments. He taught Jack to refine his skills and technique, helping him to understand the art of performing.

His friends often teased him, calling his efforts useless and reminding him of the school’s rejection. They said he was chasing a dream that was too far out of reach, but Jack had a fire within him that could not be put out. He believed in the power of perseverance and knew that with enough hard work and dedication, he could turn his dreams into reality. His determination was evident in every step he took, every challenge he overcame. He spent countless hours improving his skills.
A year later, the music school announced another interview. Jack nerved himself and submitted his application once again. This time, as he performed, the room resonated not just with notes but with the story of his unwavering determination and relentless pursuit of his dream. His fingers danced across the keys, creating a symphony of emotion and power that left the audience in awe. To everyone’s amazement, including Jack’s, he received an acceptance letter. He was overjoyed. All his efforts and persistence paid off!

61．advised 62．off 63．harmful 64．to reduce 65．is recommended
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了现代社会带来的疲劳综合症及解决办法。
56．考查定语从句。句意：有条件慢性疲劳综合征（CFS）的增加，这是一种身体和精神障碍，使我们感到极度疲劳。空格处与下文的“is a physical and mental disorder that makes us feel extremely tired”在句中充当定语，是非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词 chronic fatigue syndrome，且空格处在定语从句中充当主语，故填 which。
57．考查非谓语动词。句意：我们的生活总是忙碌而匆忙，导致高压力和睡眠不足。result in是固定搭配，意思是“导致”，本句已经存在谓语（系动词）are，所以result应使用非谓语，分析句子可知生活忙碌和导致睡眠不足是主动关系，故填resulting。
58．考查冠词。句意：患有慢性疲劳综合症的人缺乏能量，影响我们一天的方方面面。lack 是可数名词单数, suffer from a lack of…意为“遭受……不足”。故填a。
59．考查名词。句意：虽然没有治愈慢性疲劳综合症的方法，但均衡的饮食在帮助控制症状和提高能量水平方面起着非常重要的作用。of great significance 表示有重要意义，它的功能等同于significant，可充当定语使用，空格处须填 其名词形式。故填significance。
60．考查名词。句意：虽然没有治愈慢性疲劳综合症的方法，但均衡的饮食在帮助控制症状和提高能量水平方面起着非常重要的作用。level是可数名词单数，意思是“等级水平”，横线前没有冠词，这说明level应变成复数，故填levels。
61．考查时态。句意：他建议人们尝试他的三步就寝计划。根据上文的“He also offered some advice about how to deal with fatigue”可知，上下文时态应保持一致，空格处也应填一般过去时，故填advised。
62．考查介词。句意：第一步是关灯，因为灯光能让我们的大脑保持活跃。根据句意和上文的“turn”可知，turn the light off 意为“关掉灯”，故填off。
63．考查形容词。句意：他说，手机和笔记本电脑发出的蓝光尤其有害。空格处在句中充当表语，particularly 在句中充当状语，修饰空格处的词，副词修饰的是形容词，所以空格处须填 harm 的形容词harmful，故填harmful。
64．考查非谓语动词。句意：最后一步是减少所有噪音。动词不定式在句中充当表语，应该使用to do形式，故填to reduce。
65．考查被动语态。句意：至于食物，建议我们吃香蕉，以帮助我们获得更好的夜间休息，因为香蕉含有促进睡眠的化学物质。it 是形式主语，真正的主语是 that 引导的主语从句，“吃香蕉”这个事情是被推荐的，所以空格处须填被动语态。再结合语境可知，上下文是一般现在时，故填 is recommended。
