Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum’s birthday On the way to work, I texted Lily, “Your mum didn’t sleep well last night.”
Another day concluding, we were about to go to bed when there was a sound of a key rattling in the lock. In came our daughter, face red with cold, birthday cake in hand. “Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday!” she said, tears welling up. Immediately, my wife pulled Lily into a hug, complaining, “You silly girl, why do you come all the way back at such a time Don’t you know it is cold outside ”
Lily just stayed two hours in case of missing her classes. Seeing Lily boarding the train, my wife started blaming me for that message, yet in a better mood. I did feel I handled this matter perfectly both for my wife and my child’s growth.

Engineers in Upstate New York have invented a folded paper device that looks like a decorated ant project. But don’t be fooled. This is actually a paper-based battery. No, it doesn’t look like any of those metal batteries running flashlights or smartphones. In these systems, the battery can be printed on a page. The battery’s power consists of living bacteria.
Paper electronics are simple to make and inexpensive, notes study leader Seokheun Choi, an engineer at Binghamton University. They need no electrical outlet to recharge. They just need more bacteria, which can be found everywhere- including dirty water.
“Most batteries use chemicals to generate electricity. Substituting bacteria can be an advantage,” Choi says. “They are cheap and self-repairing.” What paper—based batteries won’t do is generate much power. They do, however, create enough to run small devices in faraway or dangerous places—such as a battlefield. They might also find use in medicine. For instance, they might power tiny sensors, such as the types used to measure blood sugar.
This invention is based on an observation made more than a century ago—that microbes (微生物) produce electricity as they digest food. Scientists refer to the bio-batteries based on this principle as microbial fuel cells. A fuel cell generates electricity like a regular battery. But a regular battery stops producing electricity when its inner chemical reactions stop. A fuel cell uses fuel that can be refilled. In this case, bacteria serve as the fuel. By refilling more microbes, as needed, scientists can keep these fuel cells running.
Lab tests have shown that the new battery can produce a current. Now, Choi and his team are looking at ways to increase the power. They’re studying different shapes and materials for the anode and cathode (正负极). They’re also looking for the best ways to combine batteries for more power. The beauty of the paper devices is that you can simply fold them to connect them. And they surely will be a trend in the near future.
8. What makes the paper-based batteries different from other batteries
A. They are mainly used to run smartphones. B. They use bacteria to generate electricity.
C. They are used to decorate small devices. D. They take a much shorter time to recharge.
9. What can the paper-based batteries do
A. Power tiny devices. B. Lower blood sugar levels.
C. Produce much electricity. D. Change chemicals in the paper.
10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. The application of the new battery. B. The characteristics of the paper batteries.
C The intention to invent the device. D. The working principle of the invention.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the development of the paper-based batteries
A. Defensive. B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Pessimistic.
D
How AI will transform education is very important to schools such as mine, teachers such as me, and hardworking care-givers such as the parents in my community. Could AI get our children to grasp new concepts and skills Might AI be better equipped to help them exploit their own intelligence After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tools, I can tell you the short answer is NO.
Human intelligence is different from the computer’s. For one, human intelligence can not be measured. The brain is plastic, always developing and growing as we learn from our environments. In addition, human intelligence relies on human interaction. Exercising our intelligence is something we do naturally as we connect with others, consider the world around us and seek to improve our relationship to that world.
In education, there has been a movement toward social-emotional and problem-based learning. So educators attempt to motivate interest in subjects and skills by turning learning moments into communal (共有的) problem-solving events. When we combine analytical learning with social- emotional learning, students become mastered in the material we want them to know and get more excited about the learning process.
Using AI looks very different from this. AI learning often involves an individual working alone with a computer program. It can crowd source information to help students find facts about their environment, solve a problem and come up with a creative way forward. But AI doesn’t force students to think through or keep anything. And simply being fed facts and information is not the same as “learning”.
It is fascinating to imagine that AI might cure what annoys us. Many parents don’t have the resources-in time, money or energy—to teach their kids at home. If AI could fill the gaps, how great, right Yet the nature of AI “teaching” as it currently exists means that students merely level up without learning. When it comes to developing intelligence, nothing can beat what we humans have been doing, face to face, for centuries.
12. What do we know about human intelligence according to paragraph 2
A. It is measured easily B. It is of great significance
C. It is related to education D. It is changeable and interactive
13. What can be inferred about AI learning from paragraph 4
A. It is widely used at school.
B. It makes no difference to education.
C. It helps develop students’ intelligence
D. It does little help with students’ true learning.
14. What is the author’s attitude to AI learning
A. Unclear B. Neutral C. Disapproving D. Favorable
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Could AI Really Teach Students
B. Should students Use AI Frequently
C. How Students Use AI in Their Study
D. How Teachers Interact with Students
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
When heading to bed, people often do some things to promote sleep, such as drinking a cup of warm milk. ____16____ The answer is varied.
“One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger,” said psychologist Michael. ____17____
On the molecular level, the tryptophan (色氨酸) in milk has properties which can promote sleeping. ____18____ Our bodies use the tryptophan from food, along with other things, to produce the brain chemical serotonin, which is transformed into melatonin, a hormone that helps you sleep.
____19____ That’s because the body transforms it into hormones that enhance sleep. But in reality, it would take a lot of tryptophan to make a person feel sleepy. Even if a person drinks that much milk, it’s unclear whether the high amount of tryptophan would be enough to make him or her feel sleepy. Milk, after all, contains many other materials that compete to enter our brain through the blood. Thus, the sleep-promoting effect of milk is limited.
As for the temperature of the milk, there aren’t any studies that suggest milk has to be warm for any of its psychological or physical effects to kick in. ____20____ It can in turn help to relax the body.
A. The calming association may help to lower pre-sleep anxiety.
B. In theory, taking food rich in tryptophan can make us feel sleepy.
C. Relaxing before going to bed can help you fall asleep.
D. Can the temperature of the milk accelerate the speed of our sleeping
E. The body cannot produce tryptophan, so people must get it from the diet.
F. But the warmth of the milk may help raise our internal body temperatures
G But is there any scientific evidence that drinking warm milk will make you sleepy

Last weekend, I went to Mark’s new house near a forest for a little get-together. After lunch when I was chatting with him and his wife Cody, he asked me, “Hey, Thora, have you ever been to a secret spot ” Before I could even finish saying no, Cody and Mark were already at the door with their jackets on. And the next moment we were heading out into the forest with a camera, a fishing net and a plastic bucket (桶).
We walked through the forest along a path by a small river. Breathing the fresh air, we three talked and laughed all the way.
“Hey! What are you guys doing ” someone suddenly shouted from behind. Mark and Cody’s eyes immediately widened, and without a word they started running. I had no choice but to follow them, getting my shoes wet and dirty with mud. We probably ran for about 10 minutes before Mark and Cody slowed down. I stopped to catch my breath and asked, “Who was that ”
Mark replied, “The most annoying neighbor ever. There’s no telling what could happen if he caught up with us. He is always making fun of us. I dislike him.” We kept walking on for a few more minutes. Then a beautiful lake appeared before our eyes. “Wow! Amazing!” I shouted and could hardly hold back my excitement. The lake was large and the water was deep and blue, looking so peaceful with tall trees around it.

【解析】
【分析】本文为应用文。省政府及其合作伙伴提供了许多项目来帮助学生暑期在找到工作，本文介绍了其中一些项目。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Summer Company部分中的Summer Company provides students with hands-on business training and awards of up to $3,000 to start and run their own summer businesses.可知，Summer Company为学生提供实践性的商业培训和高达3000美元的奖励，以启动和经营他们自己的暑期业务。“start and run their own summer businesses”即“为开办新的业务”，这对应B项中的“runn new businesses”，二者是词义之间的转述关系。故选B。

My wife’s birthday falls at the beginning of spring when the winter chill still hangs over the approaching warmth.
On that day, I came home from work, stopped her from entering the kitchen and asked her to dine out. “Has Lily called ” she asked. I shook my head. The atmosphere at the dinner was oppressive. My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite.
Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum’s birthday On the way to work, I texted Lily, “Your mum didn’t sleep well last night.”
Another day concluding, we were about to go to bed when there was a sound of a key rattling in the lock. In came our daughter, face red with cold, birthday cake in hand. “Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday!” she said, tears welling up. Immediately, my wife pulled Lily into a hug, complaining, “You silly girl, why do you come all the way back at such a time Don’t you know it is cold outside ”
Lily just stayed two hours in case of missing her classes. Seeing Lily boarding the train, my wife started blaming me for that message, yet in a better mood. I did feel I handled this matter perfectly both for my wife and my child’s growth.
Later, I called my parents and told them about it. I never thought they would respond with a long silence, and then said: “How many times have you forgotten our birthdays Has either of us ever complained ”

C
Engineers in Upstate New York have invented a folded paper device that looks like a decorated ant project. But don’t be fooled. This is actually a paper-based battery. No, it doesn’t look like any of those metal batteries running flashlights or smartphones. In these systems, the battery can be printed on a page. The battery’s power consists of living bacteria.
Paper electronics are simple to make and inexpensive, notes study leader Seokheun Choi, an engineer at Binghamton University. They need no electrical outlet to recharge. They just need more bacteria, which can be found everywhere- including dirty water.
“Most batteries use chemicals to generate electricity. Substituting bacteria can be an advantage,” Choi says. “They are cheap and self-repairing.” What paper—based batteries won’t do is generate much power. They do, however, create enough to run small devices in faraway or dangerous places—such as a battlefield. They might also find use in medicine. For instance, they might power tiny sensors, such as the types used to measure blood sugar.
This invention is based on an observation made more than a century ago—that microbes (微生物) produce electricity as they digest food. Scientists refer to the bio-batteries based on this principle as microbial fuel cells. A fuel cell generates electricity like a regular battery. But a regular battery stops producing electricity when its inner chemical reactions stop. A fuel cell uses fuel that can be refilled. In this case, bacteria serve as the fuel. By refilling more microbes, as needed, scientists can keep these fuel cells running.
Lab tests have shown that the new battery can produce a current. Now, Choi and his team are looking at ways to increase the power. They’re studying different shapes and materials for the anode and cathode (正负极). They’re also looking for the best ways to combine batteries for more power. The beauty of the paper devices is that you can simply fold them to connect them. And they surely will be a trend in the near future.
8. What makes the paper-based batteries different from other batteries
A. They are mainly used to run smartphones. B. They use bacteria to generate electricity.
C. They are used to decorate small devices. D. They take a much shorter time to recharge.
9. What can the paper-based batteries do
A. Power tiny devices. B. Lower blood sugar levels.
C. Produce much electricity. D. Change chemicals in the paper.
10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. The application of the new battery. B. The characteristics of the paper batteries.
C. The intention to invent the device. D. The working principle of the invention.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the development of the paper-based batteries
A. Defensive. B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Pessimistic.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了工程师发明了一种纸质电池，介绍了其工作原理以及优势。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They need no electrical outlet to recharge. They just need more bacteria, which can be found everywhere- including dirty water.(它们不需要电源插座充电。它们只需要更多的细菌，而细菌无处不在——包括脏水)”可知，纸质电池与其他电池的不同在于它们利用细菌发电。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“What paper—based batteries won’t do is generate much power. They do, however, create enough to run small devices in faraway or dangerous places—such as a battlefield.(纸质电池不能产生太多的能量。然而，它们确实能制造出足够的能量来在遥远或危险的地方运行小型设备，比如战场)”可知，纸质电池能为微型设备供电。故选A。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“This invention is based on an observation made more than a century ago—that microbes (微生物) produce electricity as they digest food. Scientists refer to the bio-batteries based on this principle as microbial fuel cells. A fuel cell generates electricity like a regular battery. But a regular battery stops producing electricity when its inner chemical reactions stop. A fuel cell uses fuel that can be refilled. In this case, bacteria serve as the fuel. By refilling more microbes, as needed, scientists can keep these fuel cells running.(这项发明是基于一个多世纪以前的观察——微生物在消化食物时产生电。科学家们将基于这一原理的生物电池称为微生物燃料电池。燃料电池像普通电池一样发电。但是当内部化学反应停止时，普通电池就会停止发电。燃料电池使用的燃料是可以再填充的。在这种情况下，细菌充当燃料。根据需要，科学家们可以通过补充更多的微生物来保持这些燃料电池的运转)”可知，第四段介绍了生物电池的工作原理。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The beauty of the paper devices is that you can simply fold them to connect them. And they surely will be a trend in the near future.(纸质设备的美妙之处在于你可以简单地将它们折叠起来连接起来。在不久的将来，它们肯定会成为一种趋势)”可推知，作者对于该设备持一种积极的态度。故选B。

How AI will transform education is very important to schools such as mine, teachers such as me, and hardworking care-givers such as the parents in my community. Could AI get our children to grasp new concepts and skills Might AI be better equipped to help them exploit their own intelligence After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tools, I can tell you the short answer is NO.
Human intelligence is different from the computer’s. For one, human intelligence can not be measured. The brain is plastic, always developing and growing as we learn from our environments. In addition, human intelligence relies on human interaction. Exercising our intelligence is something we do naturally as we connect with others, consider the world around us and seek to improve our relationship to that world.
In education, there has been a movement toward social-emotional and problem-based learning. So educators attempt to motivate interest in subjects and skills by turning learning moments into communal (共有的) problem-solving events. When we combine analytical learning with social- emotional learning, students become mastered in the material we want them to know and get more excited about the learning process.
Using AI looks very different from this. AI learning often involves an individual working alone with a computer program. It can crowd source information to help students find facts about their environment, solve a problem and come up with a creative way forward. But AI doesn’t force students to think through or keep anything. And simply being fed facts and information is not the same as “learning”.
It is fascinating to imagine that AI might cure what annoys us. Many parents don’t have the resources-in time, money or energy—to teach their kids at home. If AI could fill the gaps, how great, right Yet the nature of AI “teaching” as it currently exists means that students merely level up without learning. When it comes to developing intelligence, nothing can beat what we humans have been doing, face to face, for centuries.
12. What do we know about human intelligence according to paragraph 2
A. It is measured easily B. It is of great significance
C. It is related to education D. It is changeable and interactive
13. What can be inferred about AI learning from paragraph 4
A. It is widely used at school.
B. It makes no difference to education.
C. It helps develop students’ intelligence
D. It does little help with students’ true learning.
14. What is the author’s attitude to AI learning
A. Unclear B. Neutral C. Disapproving D. Favorable
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A Could AI Really Teach Students
B. Should students Use AI Frequently
C. How Students Use AI in Their Study
D. How Teachers Interact with Students
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为议论文。通过观察孩子们使用基于人工智能的学习工具几天后，作者认为利用人工智能的学习，不是真正的学习模式，不利于学生开发智力，掌握新的概念和技能。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For one, human intelligence can not be measured. The brain is plastic, always developing and growing as we learn from our environments. In addition, human intelligence relies on human interaction. (首先，人类的智力是无法测量的。大脑是可塑的，总是随着我们从环境中学习而发展和成长。此外，人类的智能依赖于人类的互动。)”可知，人类的智能因大脑的发展成长而一直在改变，同时也存在互动性。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“AI learning often involves an individual working alone with a computer program. It can crowd source information to help students find facts about their environment, solve a problem and come up with a creative way forward. But AI doesn’t force students to think through or keep anything. And simply being fed facts and information is not the same as ‘learning’. (人工智能学习通常需要一个人单独使用计算机程序。它可以集中资源信息，帮助学生找到有关环境的事实，解决问题，并提出创造性的前进道路。但人工智能不会强迫学生思考或保留任何东西。简单地接受事实和信息与‘学习’是不一样的。)”可知，人工智能学习的过程中，学生只是简单的接受事实和信息，没有思考或保留任何东西，并不是真正意义上的学习，所以对于学生的学习没什么帮助。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tools, I can tell you the short answer is NO. (在观察了我的孩子们使用基于人工智能的学习工具几天后，我可以告诉你简短的答案是否定的。)”，以及最后一段“Many parents don’t have the resources—in time, money or energy—to teach their kids at home. If AI could fill the gaps, how great, right Yet the nature of AI ‘teaching’ as it currently exists means that students merely level up without learning. When it comes to developing intelligence, nothing can beat what we humans have been doing, face to face, for centuries. (许多父母没有足够的资源，无论是时间、金钱还是精力，在家教育孩子。如果人工智能能填补这些空白，那该有多好，对吧？然而，目前存在的人工智能‘教学’的本质意味着，学生只是在没有学习的情况下升级。说到发展智力，没有什么能比得上几个世纪以来我们人类面对面所做的事情。)”可知，作者认为发展只能还得靠人类面对面的教学，许多父母因没有足够的资源，无论是时间、金钱还是精力，在家教育孩子，而选择人工智能教孩子，其实人工智能并没有填补这些空白，故作者对人工智能是不赞同的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“How AI will transform education is very important to schools such as mine, teachers such as me, and hardworking care-givers such as the parents in my community. Could AI get our children to grasp new concepts and skills Might AI be better equipped to help them exploit their own intelligence After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tools, I can tell you the short answer is NO. (人工智能将如何改变教育，对于像我这样的学校、像我这样的老师，以及像我所在社区的父母这样勤奋的照顾者来说，都是非常重要的。人工智能能让我们的孩子掌握新的概念和技能吗？人工智能是否能更好地帮助人类开发自己的智力？在观察了我的孩子们使用基于人工智能的学习工具几天后，我可以告诉你简短的答案是否定的。)”可知，作者列出多个问题，引出本文主题：人工智能能否教学生，Could AI Really Teach Students，适合作标题，故选A项。
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
When heading to bed, people often do some things to promote sleep, such as drinking a cup of warm milk. ____16____ The answer is varied.
“One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger,” said psychologist Michael. ____17____
On the molecular level, the tryptophan (色氨酸) in milk has properties which can promote sleeping. ____18____ Our bodies use the tryptophan from food, along with other things, to produce the brain chemical serotonin, which is transformed into melatonin, a hormone that helps you sleep.
____19____ That’s because the body transforms it into hormones that enhance sleep. But in reality it would take a lot of tryptophan to make a person feel sleepy. Even if a person drinks that much milk, it’s unclear whether the high amount of tryptophan would be enough to make him or her feel sleepy. Milk, after all, contains many other materials that compete to enter our brain through the blood. Thus, the sleep-promoting effect of milk is limited.
As for the temperature of the milk, there aren’t any studies that suggest milk has to be warm for any of its psychological or physical effects to kick in. ____20____ It can in turn help to relax the body.
A. The calming association may help to lower pre-sleep anxiety.
B. In theory, taking food rich in tryptophan can make us feel sleepy.
C. Relaxing before going to bed can help you fall asleep.
D. Can the temperature of the milk accelerate the speed of our sleeping
E. The body cannot produce tryptophan, so people must get it from the diet.
F. But the warmth of the milk may help raise our internal body temperatures
G. But is there any scientific evidence that drinking warm milk will make you sleepy
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. E 19. B 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要对睡前喝热牛奶是否对睡眠有用进行了解释说明。
【16题详解】
下文“The answer is varied.(答案各不相同)”，下一段的““One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger,” said psychologist Michael.(心理学家迈克尔说：“温牛奶让人昏昏欲睡的一个原因是，它让你想起了年轻时给你喝温牛奶的人。”)”以及第三段“On the molecular level, the tryptophan (色氨酸) in milk has properties which can promote sleeping.(在分子水平上，牛奶中的色氨酸具有促进睡眠的特性)”说明科学家研究了牛奶让人睡眠好的原因。根据空后的The answer可知，空处为一个疑问，该问题跟后文所提到的内容相关，也就是牛奶和睡眠的关系。G项为一个疑问句，“any scientific evidence”和下文中的“On the molecular level”相呼应。而“warm milk will make you sleepy”和前文“some things to promote sleep, such as drinking a cup of warm milk”相呼应，表明空处询问“有没有科学证据表明喝温牛奶会让你昏昏欲睡？”。故选G。
【17题详解】
上文““One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger,” said psychologist Michael. (心理学家迈克尔说：“温牛奶让人昏昏欲睡的一个原因是，它让你想起了年轻时给你喝温牛奶的人。”)”说明热牛奶让人想起曾经给自己温暖的人，使人内心感动，这种联系能减缓睡前焦虑。A项中的“The calming association”对应前文的提到的“想起那个在你年轻时好心给你热牛奶的人”，这会产生令人镇静的作用，说明这种平静的联系可能有助于降低睡眠前的焦虑。故选A。
【18题详解】
下文“Our bodies use the tryptophan from food, along with other things, to produce the brain chemical serotonin, which is transformed into melatonin, a hormone that helps you sleep.(我们的身体利用食物中的色氨酸和其他物质来产生大脑化学物质血清素，血清素被转化为褪黑激素，一种帮助睡眠的激素)”说明色氨酸是从食物以及其他物质中获取的，我们身体本身不具有色氨酸。E项中的“people must get it from the diet”和下文中的“the tryptophan from food, along with other things”相呼应，表明人体不能产生色氨酸，所以人们必须从饮食中获取色氨酸。故选E。
【19题详解】
下文“That’s because the body transforms it into hormones that enhance sleep. But in reality, it would take a lot of tryptophan to make a person feel sleepy.(这是因为身体将其转化为激素，从而增强睡眠。但事实上，要想让人感到困倦，需要大量的色氨酸)”说明本段从理论和实际两个方面去论述到底色氨酸是否具有助眠的作用。空处引出理论方面的说明，B项“理论上，摄入富含色氨酸的食物会让我们感到困倦。”符合语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
上文“As for the temperature of the milk, there aren’t any studies that suggest milk has to be warm for any of its psychological or physical effects to kick in.(至于牛奶的温度，没有任何研究表明牛奶必须是温热的才能产生任何心理或身体影响)”以及下文“It can in turn help to relax the body.(它反过来可以帮助放松身体)”说明牛奶的温度可能也是一个影响助眠效果的因素。空处承上启下，F项中的“the warmth of the milk”对应上文“the temperature of the milk”，而“raise our internal body temperatures”为下文中it所指代的内容，说明牛奶的温暖可能有助于提高我们体内的温度。故选F。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。世界卫生组织发布的一份报告显示，超过80%的城市居民暴露在不安全的空气中。报告还敦促地方政府采取更有力和有效的措施对抗空气污染。
【36题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：世界卫生组织发布的一份报告显示，超过80%的城市居民暴露在不安全的空气中。本句在陈述事实，所以为一般现在时，主语More than 80% of people与谓语expose为被动关系，所以本句为一般现在时的被动语态。故填are exposed。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：世界卫生组织发布的一份报告显示，超过80%的城市居民暴露在不安全的空气中。结合上题分析，本句已经有谓语，空处填非谓语，a report 与deliver在逻辑上是被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填delivered。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：世界卫生组织公共卫生和环境政策主任玛丽亚·内拉博士说:“城市空气污染继续以惊人的速度增长，严重危害了人类健康。rate为可数名词，本句表示泛指“以一种惊人的速度增长 ”，alarming首字母的发音为元音音素。 故填an。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：与此同时，人们的意识也在提高，越来越多的城市开始监控自己的空气质量。空处填名词awareness作主语，不可数名词。 故填awareness。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意：在过去两年里，监测空气污染的城市数量翻了一番，现在覆盖了103个国家的约3000个城市。根据“In the past two years”可知。本句为现在完成时，the number of cities作主语，谓语动词为单数第三人称。 故填has doubled。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：世界卫生组织警告称，糟糕的空气质量可能会对城市居民的健康造成严重影响，并将其与中风、心脏病、肺癌和许多其他疾病的风险联系起来。have effects on“对…...有影响”为固定短语。故填on。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：世界卫生组织警告称，糟糕的空气质量可能会对城市居民的健康造成严重影响，并将其与中风、心脏病、肺癌和许多其他疾病的风险联系起来。本句已经有谓语动词，空处填非谓动词，与前面逻辑主语the serious effects在逻辑上是主动关系，所以用现在分词。故填linking。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：报告还显示，中低收入国家的空气质量普遍较差。副词generally修饰动词have。 故填generally。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：收入和中等收入国家人口在10万或以上的城市中，约98%的城市不符合世卫组织的空气质量准则，而高收入国家中有56%的城市不符合标准。根据句意可知，前后句子表示对比关系，连词应为while。故填while。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：该报告还敦促地方政府采取更有力和有效的措施对抗空气污染。形容词effective修饰名词measures。故填effective。

Last weekend, I went to Mark’s new house near a forest for a little get-together. After lunch when I was chatting with him and his wife Cody, he asked me, “Hey, Thora, have you ever been to a secret spot ” Before I could even finish saying no, Cody and Mark were already at the door with their jackets on. And the next moment we were heading out into the forest with a camera, a fishing net and a plastic bucket (桶).
We walked through the forest along a path by a small river. Breathing the fresh air, we three talked and laughed all the way.
“Hey! What are you guys doing ” someone suddenly shouted from behind. Mark and Cody’s eyes immediately widened, and without a word they started running. I had no choice but to follow them, getting my shoes wet and dirty with mud. We probably ran for about 10 minutes before Mark and Cody slowed down. I stopped to catch my breath and asked, “Who was that ”
Mark replied, “The most annoying neighbor ever. There’s no telling what could happen if he caught up with us. He is always making fun of us. I dislike him.” We kept walking on for a few more minutes. Then a beautiful lake appeared before our eyes. “Wow! Amazing!” I shouted and could hardly hold back my excitement. The lake was large and the water was deep and blue, looking so peaceful with tall trees around it.

Paragraph1:
Looking around, we saw a boat floating by the shore. “How about going boating ” Mark asked. “Good idea.” I agreed. I was excited to find so many fishes in the lake. Before I could say a word, Mark had cast the fishing net into the water. “Look this way. Let me take a photo of you two.” Cody said, taking out the camera. Hearing that, I quickly approached Mark. But all of a sudden I lost my balance and fell into the water.
Paragraph 2:
“Help! Help! Help!” I was so frightened and cried for help. However, none of us could swim. Mark and Cody tried to pull me up from the water but failed. Struggling in the water, I was almost exhausted. Suddenly, I felt myself lifted by someone. It was Mark’s neighbor, who followed us there. Without hesitation, he jumped into the water and saved me.
