19、hat。 考查同位语从句。分析句子,可知此处是idea的同位语从句,从句中不缺成分,所以使用无实义,只起连接作用的连接词that引导。故填that。3.meaning。考查非谓语动词。句意:人类有一种深层的与自然连接的生理需要,这个观点被称为“人类亲近大自然的天性”,意为对生活和生存的世界的爱。句子的谓语是has been called,所以mean要用非谓语动词形式,与Biophilia是主动关系,应用现在分词,作定语。故填meaning。4.has grown。考查动词时态。句子中有时间标志词so far,要用现在完成时,the number作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填has

20、grown。5.excitement。考查名词。空白处前面of 是介词,后面接名词,excite的名词是excitement。故填excitement。6.stressful。考查形容词。句意:城市是很好的地方,充满兴奋、创新和能量。但是住在城市里是有压力的。此处用形容词作表语,故用stress的形容词形式。7.the。考查定冠词。句意:我们在它们那(城市)里住得越多,我们就会有越多的压力。“the+比较级,the+比较级”意为“越,就越”。故填the。8.like。考查介词。句意:我们在它们那(城市)里住得越多,我们就会有越多的压力,会导致像抑郁和孤单这样的心理疾病的增加。like作介词时意

21、为“像”。故填like。9.to step。考查非谓语动词。encourage sb.to do sth.意为“鼓励某人做某事”。故填to step。10.rapidly。考查副词。分析句子可知,空白处应填副词,用来修饰changing,rapid的副词是rapidly。故填rapidly。二、阅读理解1.B。细节理解题。本题题干意为:她的衣领上戴着监测器,Baggy 可以。根据文章第二段Baggy wears a pollution monitor on her collar so she can take data measurements close to the ground.(Bag

22、gy衣领上戴着污染监测器,这样她就可以在接近地面的地方进行数据测量。)可知戴着污染监测器可以记录污染物的水平。故答案为B项。2.D。推理判断题。本题题干意为:我们从Baggy收集到的数据中可以了解到什么?根据文章第二段 Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels are higher closer to ground level, which has helped highlight concerns that babies and young kids may be at higher risk of developing lung pro

23、blems.(她的监测器显示,接近地面的空气污染水平更高,这进一步突显了人们的担忧,即婴儿和幼童罹患肺部疾病的风险更高。可知接近地面的空气污染水平更高。故答案为D项。3.A。推理判断题。本题题干意为:汤姆进行这项研究的意图是?根据文章第四段Tom has since reported the shocking findings to the government in an attempt to emphasize that babies are at higher risk of developing asthma.(汤姆已经将令人震惊的发现报告给政府,试图强调,婴儿患哮喘的风险更高。)可知

24、汤姆研究的目的是对健康风险提出警告。故答案为A项。4.C。推理判断题。本题题干意为:根据文章,哪个词最能描述汤姆亨特?根据文章倒数第二段内容可知,汤姆在很小的时候就对环境保护产生了热情,马特补充说。他对一些小装置感兴趣。大约一年前,他得到了一个类似试管的新技术。一个星期天的下午,我们出去做一些监测,他说,为什么我们不把它戴在Baggy的衣领上,让她监测污染?于是我们就这么做了。可知汤姆是非常有创造力的。故答案为C项。三、阅读填句1.G。推理判断题。根据上文可知,错误的捐赠只会花费慈善机构宝贵的金钱来储存积压的物资,这就是为什么衣物可能不是你捐赠的最佳方式。再结合下文提到的四个建议,可推知设空处

25、应给人们一些捐赠或帮助有需要的人的建议。G项“这里有一些建议你可以采纳,以最明智的方式来帮助那些有需要的人”符合语境。故选G。2.F。推理判断题。根据上文“当受灾的家庭努力保护孩子不受影响时,他们尽量给孩子们提供玩具、零食、果汁、糖果或其他带来安慰的物品,尤其是在灾后的环境中”和下文“收容所会接收这些捐赠,然后用适当的方式分发出去”可推知,设空处应建议捐赠者买一些玩具给孩子们。F项“把你的钱变成适合各年龄段孩子的玩具和娱乐选择”符合语境,toys是关键词。故选F。3.D。推理判断题。根据上文“如果你接受过灾难应对方面的培训,你可以与当地的应急服务机构和红十字会取得联系,看他们是否需要志愿者。让

26、他们知道你的能力”可推知,下文应陈述如果他们需要你擅长领域的志愿者就会和你联系。D项“然后,如果他们需要志愿者,他们就会继续跟进”符合语境,volunteers是关键词。故选D。4.C。标题归纳题。设空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“时间和安慰是你能免费给予的最重要的两样东西。花时间用善解人意的耳朵倾听受灾群众的心声。你可以带书读给孩子们听”可知,本段的建议是花时间和受灾的人待在一起,陪伴他们度过艰难时刻。C项“花时间照顾避难所的家庭和个人”符合语境,spend time是关键词。故选C。5.E。推理判断题。根据上文“为了未来,现在就成为一名志愿者。除了捐钱,做志愿者是最好的给予方式”和下文“红十字会和慈善组织更喜欢训练有素的志愿者队伍,他们可以立即行动起来”可推知,设空处应陈述想要成为志愿者,应该在灾难前进行训练,这样才能在灾难来临时给予帮助。E项“然而,你必须在灾难发生前就开始这个过程”符合语境,选项中的this process指代上文提到的become a volunteer。故选E。第12页（共12页）
