Age is just a number. Is 80 the new 40?
Manfred Steiner
He didn’t really need another Ph. D. degree as he already had two. He was trained as a doctor, and had been a professor of medicine. But after he retired, he realized he finally had time to do something he’d always wanted to do-study physics. In September, 2021, at 89, he earned his physics Ph. D. He encourages young people who have a dream to “follow that dream” enthusiastically.
M. J. Eberhart
In early November, 2021, at 83, he became the oldest person to hike the full Appalachian Trail (AT). The 3, 530 kilometer hiking trail isn’t easy, even for younger people. For the last few miles of this hike, he was joined by Dale Sanders, who set the same record when he hiked the AT at 82.

Encouraging others to be active is a big part of what keeps her running.

B
“Somebody will be beaten up, ” announced May Jordan. Frozen by fear, the students surrounding May silently hoped that her latest victim wasn’t among them. Since May had transferred in, Elliott Elementary became an uncomfortable place. She routinely bullied(欺凌)innocent third graders who were too afraid to defend themselves.
I had managed to go without May’s noticing, but one morning when I showed up for school with a new hairstyle and my friend Jaime said it looked nice, I noticed May’s glare. As she passed me in the cafeteria she said, “Nice braid(发辫). Somebody might cut it off.” And she moved her fingers to imitate a pair of scissors in motion.
The next morning, hearing my story, my mother said, “Don’t be afraid of her, Courtney. I’ll bet she just wants to fit in but just doesn’t know how.”
I rolled her words around in my head. May wasn’t so great at making friends. Maybe underneath all that toughness was a regular fifth grader who simply wanted to be liked. Did I have what it would take to make friends with May? For the first time, my curiosity outweighed my fear.
After lunch, I approached May and invited her to come to my house alter school. “We could walk home together, if you’d like. Maybe watch the Nickelodeon Channel?” I offered. Still, I was proud that I had extended the invitation. Then, something unexpected happened. May smiled and said yes.
I don’t remember what we watched on television, or what my mother prepared for our after-school snack. But I know that it would accelerate a new friendship. May Jordan never bullied me again, and we became good friends. After countless afternoons at my house, I realized that the tall girl was an insecure fifth grader who wanted to be accepted.
4. What was the author’s reaction to Jaime’s comment?
A. She knew her hairstyle was in fashion. B. She felt her hairstyle was improper.
C. She realized she would be in trouble. D. She guessed she would go unnoticed.
5. How did the author’s mother view May’s action?
A. What she was doing shouldn’t be tolerated. B. She wanted to show her strength in this way.
C. She was doing so just out of a child’s curiosity. D. She was trying to make friends with others.
6. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “accelerate” in the last paragraph?
A. Destroy. B. Boost. C. Identify. D. Connect.
7. What can we lean about May from the last paragraph?
A. She felt unsafe and wanted to be accepted. B. She has never bullied any student ever since.
C. She often went to the author’s home for safety. D. She grew to like the snack at the author’s home.
C
It’s raining microchips. One day, they could float gently through the air while gathering environmental data, land on the ground and then disappear when their work is done. That’s the future a team of engineers see for what they’re calling “microflier”, a tiny winged microchip with designs inspired by nature.
The accomplishment belongs to a team of scientists at the Northwestern University in Illinois, who developed the microflier, a flying microchip that spins like a helicopter. It is the size of a grain of sand but with small wings and an aerodynamic design that allows it to fall in a controlled manner thanks to its barely visible propellers. The engineers used nature’s “manual” to get their inspiration for the microflier, analyzing the behavior of various types of wind-spread seeds.
How does that work? Instead of using a motor or engine, the tiny flying microchip uses the power of the wind to catch a flight, spinning through the ground at low speed. It is a stable flight, and the microflier can stay in the air for a long time, which is why it could prove to be useful for a variety of applications.
While nature has designed seeds with very sophisticated aerodynamics, the Northwestern team claims its microflier is better, as it is even smaller and its structure allows it to fall with more stable paths and at slower speeds than equivalent seeds from plants or trees.
The engineers built the flying structure to be used for purposes such as population monitoring, pollution monitoring, disease tracking and so on. And while this might look like a simple, limited device right now, researchers see its potential for becoming a highly functional electronic device. The microflier can be equipped with really sophisticated technology, such as tiny sensors, antennas for wireless communication, or embedded memory for data storage.
8. What gave scientists the inspiration for the microflier?
A. Helicopters. B. Flying birds. C. Falling seeds. D. Raindrops.
9. The microflier operates by using ________.
A. electricity B. wind power C. an engine D. solar energy
10. Which is one advantage of the microflier over nature’s work?
A. It produces less noise. B. It carries more weight.
C. It can fly in any direction. D. It can stay longer in the air.
11. The last paragraph focuses on the microflier’s .
A. working principle B. development process
C. potential applications D. accomplished tasks
D
Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a single bush（灌木丛）in the Amazon may have more species of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.
Rainforests are the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy（树冠层）of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.
Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forest is not all tangled leaves and bushes, like in films, but is actually fairly clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.
They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75%of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal-and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain-your umbrella may protect you in a shower, but it won't keep you dry if there is a full rainstorm. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity（湿气）of large rainforests contributes to the formation of rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.
12. What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph?
A. They produce oxygen. B. They cover a vast area.
C. They are well managed. D. They are rich in wildlife.
13. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests?
A. Heavy rains B. Big trees.
C. Small plants. D. Forest animals.
14. Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other?
A. For more sunlight. B. For more growing space.
C. For self-protection. D. For the detection of insects.
15 What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Life-Giving Rainforests B. The Law of the Jungle
C Animals in the Amazon D. Weather in Rainforests
第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Learn to Cite Sources (引用资料)
During your university education, you’ll be exposed to ideas and scientific theories of scholars and scientists. Unavoidably, your own ideas will be shaped by the ideas you come across. ___16___ That means you should go beyond what you learn in your textbooks or in the library. Your original work is the basis for your professor’s evaluation of your performance. Thus, academic honesty is fundamental in your university education. It demands that you cite the source materials you base your own work on. ___17___
Correctly citing your sources helps you distinguish your own ideas from those of other scholars. On the readers’ side, it permits a reader to determine the depth of your research. ___18___ On the contrary, lack of citing will only raise your reader’s doubt.
So you need to learn when to cite and how to provide an adequate or accurate reference list. If you fail to cite your sources, whether deliberately or carelessly, you will be found responsible for plagiarism (抄袭) . ___19___ If you are not sure, ask your professor for guidance before submitting the paper or report. Keep in mind this general rule: when in doubt, cite!
___20___ For example, students from East Asia may think that copying directly from sources is the proper way to do research. Students in France, preparing for the final examination, may be encouraged to memorize whole passages and copy them into papers. Those cultural differences can lead to false assumptions about academic expectations in the country you study in.
A. Some university students may cheat in different ways.
B. These include other scholars’ ideas, figures, graphs and so on.
C. The academic challenge you face is to make something original.
D. Often, students want to use others’ opinions to support their own essays.
E. It also allows a reader to appreciate your original contribution to the research.
F. For international students, it is important to know local academic expectations.
G. Not knowing academic regulations is an unacceptable excuse for such behavior.

“Somebody will be beaten up, ” announced May Jordan. Frozen by fear, the students surrounding May silently hoped that her latest victim wasn’t among them. Since May had transferred in, Elliott Elementary became an uncomfortable place. She routinely bullied(欺凌)innocent third graders who were too afraid to defend themselves.
I had managed to go without May’s noticing, but one morning when I showed up for school with a new hairstyle and my friend Jaime said it looked nice, I noticed May’s glare. As she passed me in the cafeteria she said, “Nice braid(发辫). Somebody might cut it off.” And she moved her fingers to imitate a pair of scissors in motion.
The next morning, hearing my story, my mother said, “Don’t be afraid of her, Courtney. I’ll bet she just wants to fit in but just doesn’t know how.”
I rolled her words around in my head. May wasn’t so great at making friends. Maybe underneath all that toughness was a regular fifth grader who simply wanted to be liked. Did I have what it would take to make friends with May? For the first time, my curiosity outweighed my fear.
After lunch, I approached May and invited her to come to my house alter school. “We could walk home together, if you’d like. Maybe watch the Nickelodeon Channel?” I offered. Still, I was proud that I had extended the invitation. Then, something unexpected happened. May smiled and said yes.
I don’t remember what we watched on television, or what my mother prepared for our after-school snack. But I know that it would accelerate a new friendship. May Jordan never bullied me again, and we became good friends. After countless afternoons at my house, I realized that the tall girl was an insecure fifth grader who wanted to be accepted.
4. What was the author’s reaction to Jaime’s comment?
A. She knew her hairstyle was in fashion. B. She felt her hairstyle was improper.
C. She realized she would be in trouble. D. She guessed she would go unnoticed.
5. How did the author’s mother view May’s action?
A. What she was doing shouldn’t be tolerated. B. She wanted to show her strength in this way.
C. She was doing so just out of a child’s curiosity. D. She was trying to make friends with others.
6. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “accelerate” in the last paragraph?

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。Elliott小学有个新来的转学生May，经常欺负小同学，作者因为换了一个新发型而被May盯上了，妈妈知道后告诉作者，这个同学也许是为了被他人接受才会这样做的；之后作者尝试和她说话并邀请她去家里玩，最后两人成了好朋友。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。第一段“Since May had transferred in, Elliott Elementary became an uncomfortable place. She routinely bullied (欺凌) innocent third graders who were too afraid to defend themselves.(自从May转学以来，Elliott小学就成了一个不舒服的地方。她经常欺凌无辜的三年级的不敢自卫的学生。)”，以及第二段“I had managed to go without May’s noticing, but one morning when I showed up for school with a new hairstyle and my friend Jaime said it looked nice, I noticed May’s glare. As she passed me in the cafeteria she said,‘Nice braid(发辫). Somebody might cut it off.' And she moved her fingers to imitate a pair of scissors in motion.(我设法不被梅发现，但有一天早上，我换了个新发型去上学，我的朋友Jaime说它看起来不错，我注意到May的眼神。当她在自助餐厅经过我身边时，她说，‘辫子很漂亮。有人会把它剪下来的。’她用手指模仿剪刀的动作。)”可知，作者一直设法不被梅盯上，以免像别的同学那样被May欺凌，但是May关注到了换了新发型的作者，还威胁她说会有人把她的头发剪掉的，可推知，作者听到朋友的夸奖之后意识到自己可能会被May欺负。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。第三段“The next morning, hearing my story, my mother said, ‘Don’t be afraid of her, Courtney. I’ll bet she just wants to fit in but just doesn’t know how.’(第二天早上，妈妈听了我的故事后说:‘考特尼，别怕她。我敢打赌她只是想融入，只是不知道该怎么做。’)”可知，作者的母亲认为May这个转学生想在新的学校结交新朋友，融入新的圈子，只是方法不对。故选D项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。第六段“I don’t remember what we watched on television, or what my mother prepared for our after-school snack.(我不记得我们在电视上看了什么，也不记得妈妈为我们准备了什么课后零食)”,以及“May Jordan never bullied me again, and we became good friends. (May Jordan再也不欺负我了，我们成了好朋友。)”，从语境看，通过邀请May去家里玩，作者与May的交谈和接触“促进”了一段新的友情的发展。A.Destroy破坏，毁灭；B.boost促进；C.Identify认出，识别；D.Connect连接。划线词accelerate与boost意思相近。故选B项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。最后一段最后一句“May Jordan never bullied me again, and we became good friends.After countless afternoons at my house, I realized that the tall girl was an insecure fifth grader who wanted to be accepted.(May Jordan再也不欺负我了，我们成了好朋友。在我家度过了无数个下午之后，我意识到这个高个女孩是一个没有安全感的五年级学生，她想要被接受。)”可知，作者主动与May交好的过程中，意识到：当初May欺负人是因为缺少安全感，她希望被他人接纳，故选A项。

It’s raining microchips. One day, they could float gently through the air while gathering environmental data, land on the ground and then disappear when their work is done. That’s the future a team of engineers see for what they’re calling “microflier”, a tiny winged microchip with designs inspired by nature.
The accomplishment belongs to a team of scientists at the Northwestern University in Illinois, who developed the microflier, a flying microchip that spins like a helicopter. It is the size of a grain of sand but with small wings and an aerodynamic design that allows it to fall in a controlled manner thanks to its barely visible propellers. The engineers used nature’s “manual” to get their inspiration for the microflier, analyzing the behavior of various types of wind-spread seeds.
How does that work? Instead of using a motor or engine, the tiny flying microchip uses the power of the wind to catch a flight, spinning through the ground at low speed. It is a stable flight, and the microflier can stay in the air for a long time, which is why it could prove to be useful for a variety of applications.
While nature has designed seeds with very sophisticated aerodynamics, the Northwestern team claims its microflier is better, as it is even smaller and its structure allows it to fall with more stable paths and at slower speeds than equivalent seeds from plants or trees.
The engineers built the flying structure to be used for purposes such as population monitoring, pollution monitoring, disease tracking and so on. And while this might look like a simple, limited device right now, researchers see its potential for becoming a highly functional electronic device. The microflier can be equipped with really sophisticated technology, such as tiny sensors, antennas for wireless communication, or embedded memory for data storage.
8. What gave scientists the inspiration for the microflier?
A. Helicopters. B. Flying birds. C. Falling seeds. D. Raindrops.
9. The microflier operates by using ________.
A. electricity B. wind power C. an engine D. solar energy
10. Which is one advantage of the microflier over nature’s work?
A. It produces less noise. B. It carries more weight.
C. It can fly in any direction. D. It can stay longer in the air.
11. The last paragraph focuses on the microflier’s .
A. working principle B. development process
C. potential applications D. accomplished tasks
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C

Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a single bush（灌木丛）in the Amazon may have more species of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.
Rainforests are the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy（树冠层）of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.
Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forest is not all tangled leaves and bushes, like in films, but is actually fairly clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.
They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75%of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal-and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain-your umbrella may protect you in a shower, but it won't keep you dry if there is a full rainstorm. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity（湿气）of large rainforests contributes to the formation of rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.
12. What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph?
A. They produce oxygen. B. They cover a vast area.
C. They are well managed. D. They are rich in wildlife.
13. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests?
A Heavy rains B. Big trees.
C. Small plants. D. Forest animals.
14. Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other?
A. For more sunlight. B. For more growing space.
C. For self-protection. D. For the detection of insects.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Life-Giving Rainforests B. The Law of the Jungle
C. Animals in the Amazon D. Weather in Rainforests
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy（树冠层）of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.得知，热带雨林有自己完美的生存体系，高大的树木有枝干，树叶的树冠层保护树木本身、小植物、动物们免受大雨和太阳强风带来的干燥热浪的伤害。可知，大树有助于热带雨林生存，故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars.得知，科学家们认为这是植物阻止任何树木疾病扩散和让比如毛毛虫这种食用树叶的昆虫难以生存。可以判断出不同树木的树叶和树枝避免彼此触碰是为了自我保护，故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。本文首先讲述了热带雨林蕴藏了丰富多彩的药用植物、食物以及鸟禽猛兽。其次，热带雨林就是地球的肺——它吸纳了大量的二氧化碳，并制造了全球氧气的很大部分。然后，雨林可以自我形成所需降雨的75%，而庞大的热带雨林湿气则可以形成雨云，这些雨云则可以飘往那些缺雨水的国家。可以判断出本文最佳标题是“给予生命的热带雨林”，故选A。

【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：周四，中国文化部发布了第五届中国非物质文化遗产代表元素名录，增加了185项，包括来自广西的标志性面汤螺蛳粉的制作技巧，沙县小吃起源于中国东南部福建省沙县。分析句子成分可知，空格处应填非谓语动词，add与逻辑主语China’s Ministry of Culture之间是主动关系，所以应该用其现在分词形式做状语。故填adding。

考查非谓语动词。句意：周四，中国文化部发布了第五届中国非物质文化遗产代表元素名录，增加了185项，包括来自广西的标志性面汤螺蛳粉的制作技巧，沙县小吃起源于中国东南部福建省沙县。结合句意表示“包括”可知短语为be involved in，此处省略be动词，用过去分词作定语。故填involved。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：柳州螺蛳粉，一种汤菜，因它强烈的气味被一些人叫做“榴莲汤”。soup dish是可数名词单数，而且这里是泛指，应用不定冠词，且soup的发音是辅音音素开头。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：它的特色是将米粉浸泡在蜗牛味的辣味汤里，再浇上酸笋、菜豆、花生和豆腐皮等配料。ingredient为可数名词，根据后文including pickled bamboo shoots, string beans, peanuts and tofu skin可知，用复数形式。故填ingredients。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：尽管它的中文名字中有“蜗牛”这个词，但真正的蜗牛并不经常出现在这道菜中，而是用来给汤调味的。后跟动名词作宾语，表示“尽管”应用介词despite，句首单词，首字母要大写。故填Despite。
【46题详解】
考查副词。句意：尽管它的中文名字中有“蜗牛”这个词，但真正的蜗牛并不经常出现在这道菜中，而是用来给汤调味的。appear为动词，所以这里需要用副词来修饰动词。故填commonly。
【47题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：沙县小吃是中国连锁食品品牌的一个闪亮例子，其中很可能包括蒸饺、面条和馄饨等食品。分析句子成分可知，此句为一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是Chinese food chain brands，先行词在定语从句中作主语，指物，用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【48题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：现在，当地政府正在努力使餐厅的运营标准化和现代化，把这个品牌变成一个成功和安全的全球食品企业。根据句中时间标志词Now可知，谓语动词时态应用现在进行时；work的主语the local authorities，是复数，与work之间的关系是主动关系。故填are working。
【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：现在，当地政府正在努力使餐厅的运营标准化和现代化，把这个品牌变成一个成功和安全的全球食品企业。分析句子结构可知，turn在句中应用非谓语动词形式，此处为不定式形式，作目的状语。故填to turn。
【50题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：沙县小吃在日本、美国、法国、葡萄牙、马来西亚等62个国家和地区设有门店，近十年来，沙县小吃在8个国家获得了商标注册批准。主语与谓语构成被动关系，结合后文over the past decade可知，用现在完成时的被动语态，主语为its trademark registration，助动词用has。故填has been approved。
第三节：单词填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分 注意：每空一词且请用选修7第一至第二单元的单词）
51. In many ways his ________ (残疾）has helped him grow stronger than ever before.（根据汉语提示单词拼写）
【答案】disability
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：他因身有残疾而在许多方面变得比以往更加强大。分析句子成分，谓语是has helped，宾语是him，宾语补足语是grow stronger than ever before，则设空处需填名词充当主语，根据汉语提示“残疾”，设空处需填disability。故填disability。
52. It was really ________ (令人烦恼的); I couldn’t use the data bank you had recommended. （根据汉语提示单词拼写）
【答案】annoying##troublesome
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：真烦人，我用不了你给我推荐的数据库。分析分号前的句子成分，主语是It，系动词是was，则设空处需填形容词作表语。根据汉语提示可知，应用形容词annoying或troublesome。故填annoying或troublesome。
53. The investigation________ (实施，指挥) last year is theoretically useful. （根据汉语提示单词拼写）
【答案】conducted
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：去年实施的这项调查理论上是有用的。根据汉语提示“实施，指挥”可知，设空处对应的动词是conduct，分析句子成分，主语是investigation，系动词是is，表语是useful，则conduct需填非谓语形式充当investigation的后置定语，由于conduct和investigation是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以此处需填过去分词形式conducted表被动。故填conducted。
54. To sum up, low price and easy________ (可接近) to information make us use computers a lot. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】access
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：总而言之，低廉的价格和容易获取的信息使我们经常使用电脑。easy是形容词，修饰名词，“可接近”的名词是access，是不可数名词。故填access。
55. Being ________ (陪伴) to the supermarket regularly makes me delighted. （根据汉语提示单词拼写）
【答案】accompanied
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：经常有人陪我去超市让我觉得很高兴。分析句子成分，谓语是makes，宾语是me，宾语补足语是delighted，则此处需填动名词作主语。根据汉语提示“陪伴”，可知此处对应的动词是accompany，accompany和me是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以此处accompany需用动名词的被动形式，即being accompanied，而句首已经有Being了，故填accompanied。
56. I wonder if you do me a ________ (帮忙). （根据汉语提示单词拼写）
【答案】favour##favor
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：我想知道你会不会帮我的忙。do sb. a favor或do sb. a favour是固定短语，意为“帮某人一个忙”，根据汉语提示“帮忙”以及设空处前面的do me a可知设空处需填favor或favour，故填favor或favour。
57. A series of activities will be held to help those who are ________ (超重的) . （根据汉语提示单词拼写）
【答案】overweight
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：一系列的活动将被举行来帮助那些超重的人。根据汉语提示“超重的”可知应填形容词overweight，作表语。故填overweight。
58. It was his comfort and ________ (鼓励) that helped me become confident. （根据汉语提示单词拼写）
【答案】encouragement
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句型。句意：是他的安慰与鼓励让我变得自信。强调句型的结构是：用“It is/was+被强调部分+that（通用）/who（指人）/whom（强调宾语指人）+其它，可知该句为强调句，谓语是helped，宾语是me，则被强调的部分是主语，需填名词，另根据汉语提示“鼓励”可知，此处需填encouragement，是不可数名词。故填encouragement。
59. What a sweet victory to be ________ (嫉妒) by those women! （根据汉语提示单词拼写）
【答案】envied
【解析】
【详解】考查动词和。句意：被那些女人嫉妒是多么甜蜜的胜利啊！本句是“it is+名词+to do”的感叹句形式，to do不定式为真正的主语，it为形式主语，在感叹句中省略了it is。表示“嫉妒”应用动词envy，根据“be” 和“by those women ”可知，应用to do不定式的被动语态。故填envied。
60. The hero in the passage is ________ (心理上地) healthy. （根据汉语提示单词拼写）
【答案】psychologically
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：文章中的主人公心理健康。根据句子结构分析可知，此处需要使用副词修饰形容词healthy， “心理上地”英文表达为“psychologically”。故填psychologically。

2. while→when
3. out→up
4. Think→Thinking
5. feed→fed
6 birds→bird
7. 删掉the
8. our→us
9. 第二个protect前加 to
10. harmonious→harmony
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了李华和王平救助了一只受伤的小鸟，当他们耐心照顾它，将它放归自然的时候，他们十分高兴。这个故事提醒人们保护鸟类就是保护人类自己，同时，改变与自然相处的方式，才能和谐相处。
【详解】1.考查名词作定语。句意：一个周六的下午，李华和王平在河边进行环保活动时，他们看到地上有一只鸟。分析句子可知，这里的“Saturday”和“afternoon”并非所属关系，不能用名词所有格表达；两者之间是修饰关系，且名词可直接作定语修饰另一个名词。故将Saturday’s改为Saturday。
2.考查连接词。句意：一个周六的下午，李华和王平在河边进行环保活动时，他们看到地上有一只鸟。分析句子可知，“caught sight of(看到)”为非持续性动词短语，不能与“while”连用，可以用“when”表达“当……的时候”。故将while改为when。
3.考查介词和固定短语。句意：他们立即把它捡起来，发现它受伤了。分析句意可知，句子表达“他们将它捡起来”含义，“pick out”意为“挑选”，不符合句意，“pick up”意为“将……捡起”。故将out改为up。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意：想到如果没有及时的帮助，它可能会死去，于是他们把它带回家。分析句子可知，句子的谓语为“took”，“Think it might die without timely help”在句中作原因状语，动词“think”与主语之间为主动关系，用现在分词形式。故将Think改为Thinking。
5.考查时态。句意：他们为它筑巢，并用大米和水喂它。分析句子可知，“feed”与前文“made”并列作为句子的谓语，应是一般过去时。故将feed改为fed。
6.考查名词单数。句意：在他们的治疗和照顾下，这只幸运的鸟很快康复了。分析句子可知，这里指代救助的那只鸟，应是单数形式。故将birds改为bird。
7.考查定冠词。句意：当鸟儿要飞回大自然的时候，他们感到非常高兴。分析句子可知，“nature”意为“大自然”，无需定冠词。故删掉the。
8.考查人称代词宾格。句意：鸟类是我们人类的朋友。分析句子可知，句子“Birds are friends of our human beings.”表达“鸟类是我们人类的朋友”，句中“我们”与“human beings”为同位语，同为介词“of”的宾语，应是用人称代词的宾格形式。故将our改为us。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意：请记住，保护它们就是保护我们自己。分析句子可知，“protect ourselves”作“is”的表语，表达“将要”含义，用动词不定式表达。故在第二个protect前加to。
10.考查名词。句意：只有改变我们对待环境的方式，我们才能与环境和谐相处。分析句子可知，“in”为介词，名词作其宾语。“harmonious”为形容词，意为“融洽的”，其名词形式为“harmony”。故将harmonious改为harmony。

【答案】 My First Try
When it comes to the topic of “My First Try”, my first attempt at adapting a novel that I had read before for an English play is unforgettable.
As a member of English Theater Club, I volunteered to be responsible for the script to be played in the approaching English Drama Festival. Consequently, I took advantage of the winter vacation to better prepare for the adaptation. The most challenging but rewarding part was to overcome the language barriers. Fortunately, with nearly two weeks’ effort, the lines were not only beautifully uttered but also easily understood.
It was not until I made the first try of adaptation that I realized language is never a helpful tool unless you put it into practical use. For me, great progress has been made to master this tool.
