Climate activist Henry Emson told Euronews that when he became a father seven years ago, he was worried about his family’s effect on the environment. After doing some research, he found the best way to eliminate their carbon footprint was by planting giant sequoia trees(巨型红杉树).
Giant sequoias are ideal for capturing carbon dioxide because they continue to grow consistently for centuries, storing CO2 over time. General Sherman, the world’s largest sequoia tree, has stored an estimated 1,500 tons of CO2 in its trunk over the last 2,200 years and could live another 800 years. The average human could generate close to 1,000 tons of CO2 over their lifetime, so planting one giant sequoia could effectively reduce the carbon footprint of more than one person.
After realizing the power giant sequoias have to fight climate change, Emson devoted his life to planting thousands in the UK by creating the One Life One Tree project. Its final goal is to plant 100,000 giant sequoias in the UK by 2030, and according to The Mirror, as of March 2022, it has already planted 700. Trees are currently being planted near Abergavenny in Wales and the project is expanding to Devon, the Lake District and Scotland.
While the common assumption is that these giant trees can only be grown in Northern California, they actually do well in the UK at a time when the sequoia population is threatened back home.
According to One Tree One Life, 95% of the old-growth sequoia population has been logged over the past two centuries and what remains is under threat from climate change. “A 10 year＋ drought and temperature increase have greatly damaged the health of the trees. A secondary impact of the drought is making them increasingly susceptible(易受影响的)to insect attack and fire,” the site says.
Considering the danger that climate change is causing giant sequoias in California, Emson’s work also benefits these trees. “They’re like climate refugees(难民)—we help them with assisted migration,” he told Euronews.
4．What does the underlined word “eliminate” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A．Measure. B．Remove. C．Overlook. D．Spread.
5．How does the text mainly show giant sequoias’ ability to store CO2?
A．By giving an example. B．By doing an experiment.
C．By making comparisons. D．By referring to comments.
6．Why did Henry Emson launch the One Life One Tree project?
A．To protect the environment by planting trees.
B．To test the adaptability of giant sequoia trees.
C．To save different kinds of endangered trees.
D．To prove the value of giant sequoias to his kids.
7．What can be learned about Henry Emson’s work?
A．It disturbs the whole ecosystem of California.
B．It indirectly turns giant sequoias into refugees.
C．It helps promote the survival of giant sequoias.
D．It assists California in recovering from drought.

A new and exciting innovation will enable people with hearing loss to see conversations in real time. Using augmented reality(AR)glasses and a smartphone, hearing-impaired (有听力障碍的) people will soon be able to participate and engage in conversations.
XRAI glasses were developed by Dan Scarfe after he spent a Christmas dinner with his family. Scarfe saw his 97-year-old hearing-impaired grandfather sitting alone in silence while the rest of the family members were animated in conversation. His light bulb moment came when he remembered his grandfather watching closed-caption TV and realized that AR glasses could be used for subtitles (字幕).
Scarfe got to work, partnering with Nreal, an AR glasses manufacturer. Six months later, the team unveiled XRAI glasses. The glasses are connected to a smartphone that receives the audio (音频) from a microphone, processes it, and then uses software technology to transform it into closed captions.
The company is now testing the glasses in the UJK and hopes to complete their pilot by the end of this month. The UK was selected as a testing ground as over 13 million adults in Britain have hearing loss. However, when the product goes global, it may transform the lives of some 430 million people. This represents 5 percent of the world’s population and includes 70 million people with total hearing loss.
This is a game changer for the deaf and is applauded by hearing loss charity RNID and Deaf Kidz International. Mark Atkinson of the charity wore them, saying, “As a deaf person myself, I was blown away by this technology. When I tried on the glasses, I was astonished that real-time subtitles enabled me to engage and participate as never before."
For Scarfe and his startup, this is only the beginning. After the testing, XRAI will work with users’ feedback, hoping to make the product available to the public soon. He also imagines using smart glasses to translate languages, understand accents and voice tones.
8．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．How Scarfe helped his grandfather out. B．Scarfe’s grandfather’s hearing problem.
C．Scarfe’s special care for his grandfather. D．How Scarfe got the idea for his invention.
9．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The audio. B．A smartphone.
C．A microphone. D．Software technology.
10．What can be inferred about XRAI glasses?
A．They have passed strict testing. B．They have great market potential.
C．They have been rejected in the UK. D．They are well accepted worldwide.
11．Why does the author mention Mark Atkinson?
A．To tell XRAI users’ high expectations. B．To speak highly of the new innovation.
C．To doubt the possibility of Scarfe’s plans. D．To show the availability of XRAI glasses.

For humans, the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic were a stressful time, marked by fear, isolation(隔离), canceled plans and uncertainty. But for birds that inhabit developed areas of the Pacific Northwest, the reduction in noise due to pandemic lock downs allowed them to use a wider range of habitats in cities.
A new University of Washington study led by Olivia Sander foot reported that many birds were just as likely to be found in highly developed urban areas as they were in less-developed green spaces during the peak of the COVID-19 lock downs.
“Our findings suggest that some birds may have been able to use more spaces in cities because our human footprint was a little lighter,” said Sander foot. “For about half of the species we observed, neither land use nor canopy cover(林冠盖度)had an effect on their site use. That’s very interesting, because we had expected that whether a habitat was mostly covered in concrete or vegetation could tell us something about what birds would be there.”
In the spring of 2020, Sander foot and her colleagues invited more than 900 community scientists in the Pacific Northwest to participate in the study. The volunteers chose their own monitoring sites—mostly backyards and parks where they could safely follow public health orders—and recorded the birds they observed over a 10-minute period at least once a week.
In order to compare the volunteers’ bird observations with human activity, Sander foot and her colleagues used data from Google’s Community Mobility Reports, which track the relative amount of people moving around at various points during the pandemic. While most people spent the spring of 2020 isolated in their homes, many began venturing out again over the course of the study period.
As people returned to public spaces and human activity increased, the study volunteers recorded an increase in sightings of several bird species in their monitoring sites.
“The birds mostly were in highly developed urban areas at the height of the lock downs, because human activity wasn’t as much of a disturbance, but then returned to those vegetated areas as human activity increased again,” Sander foot said.
12．What benefit could birds get during the pandemic lock downs?
A．Gaining more human attention. B．Living in a lively environment.
C．Expanding their living places. D．Returning to vegetated areas.
13．What can we learn from Sander foot’s words in paragraph 3?
A．Birds actually dislike living in big cities. B．It is very difficult to identify bird species.
C．The findings aren’t what he expected. D．Human footprint hardly affects bird species.
14．What did Sander foot and her colleagues do for their study?
A．They got community scientists involved in it.
B．They tracked human activity for a whole year.
C．They chose monitoring sites for the volunteers.
D．They only observed birds in less-developed areas.
15．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．The Influence of the Pandemic on Humans
B．The Impact of Human Activity on Green Spaces
C．How Birds Adapt Themselves to Uncertainty
D．Birds’ Habitat Change During the Pandemic


二、七选五
“Regret is a possible element of any decision that we make,” says psychologist Robert Leahy. “But the likelihood that you will regret your decisions will depend on how you think about making your decisions and how you cope with living with the result.”
If you’re someone who lets past regrets fester(溃烂)in your mind, Leahy recommends that you fight against irrational(非理性的)thinking and think more realistically about where you are in life.____16____ Here are some of his tips.
Remember that you don’t know things would have turned out better. If you imagine your life would have been better if only…, keep in mind that your assumption is not based on real evidence. ____17____ Instead, turn toward the future and remember it can change based on the choices you make now.
____18____Your negativity bias can keep you preoccupied with what’s wrong rather than what’s right. So, it’s a good idea to practise gratitude for the good in your life—even for the small and simple things. This helps to balance out the negative feelings that come with regret.
Don’t forget that sometimes things don’t turn out the way you wanted them to.____19____You cannot know anything in advance, so you need to accept that sometimes you will regret your choices. But that doesn’t mean you should criticize yourself endlessly. It’s better to learn from your mistakes than to punish yourself.
Accept tradeoffs(折中)and compromises. Not everything has to turn out just the way you wanted it to. You won’t make progress if you insist otherwise and make yourself miserable(痛苦的)in the process.____20____.

B．Don’t focus on where you might have been.
C．We will share some effective methods with you.
D．Focus on the positive aspects of your current life.
E．So, aim to be a satisficer rather than a maximizer.
F．Life can hand you lemons, but that’s not necessarily your fault.
G．He suggests using scientific approaches to question your assumptions.

1．细节理解题。根据Canada/USA Math camp部分“Math campers also get the opportunity to go hiking, whitewater rafting(漂流), rock climbing and much more.”（数学营员也有机会去远足，激流漂流，攀岩等等。）可知，Canada/USA Math camp这个项目给参与的学生提供了户外活动的机会。故选D。
2．细节理解题。根据Program in Mathematics for Young Scientists(PROMYS) 中“They also get the chance to participate in research projects under the guidance of professional mathematicians.”（他们也有机会在专业数学家的指导下参与研究项目。）可知，参与PROMYS这个项目的学生可以得到关于研究方面的专业指导。故选B。
3．细节理解题。根据四个项目的地点信息，尤其是Stanford University Math Camp (SUMaC)中“Location: online”（地点：线上）可知，SUMaC与其他三个项目的不同之处是它的课程及活动都是在网上进行的。故选C。
4．B 5．A 6．A 7．C

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。为了减少碳足迹，气候活动家Henry Emson在英国种植原产于美国加利福尼亚北部的巨型红杉树。这种树生长期长， 能够吸收大量的二氧化碳。Henry Emson发起的植树项目也拯救了面临气候威胁的加利福尼亚巨型红杉树。
4．词义猜测题。根据画线词前“...he was worried about his family’s effect on the environment.”（他担心他的家庭对环境的影响。）及下文提到的利用巨型红杉树吸收二氧化碳的内容可推断，消除碳足迹的最好方法是种植巨大的红杉树，由此可推知，画线词的意思与Remove(移除)的意思接近。故选B。
5． 细节理解题。第二段提到“Giant sequoias are ideal for capturing carbon dioxide because they continue to grow consistently for centuries, storing CO2 over time. General Sherman, the world’s largest sequoia tree, has stored an estimated 1,500 tons of CO2 in its trunk over the last 2,200 years and could live another 800 years.  The average human could generate close to 1,000 tons of CO2 over their lifetime, so planting one giant sequoia could effectively reduce the carbon footprint of more than one person.”（巨红杉是捕获二氧化碳的理想选择，因为它们可以持续生长几个世纪，随着时间的推移储存二氧化碳。General Sherman是世界上最大的红杉树，在过去的2200年里，它的树干里储存了大约1500吨二氧化碳，并且可以再活800年。普通人一生中会产生近1000吨的二氧化碳，因此种植一棵巨大的红杉可以有效地减少不止一个人的碳足迹。）由此判断，第二段以General Sherman为例说明巨型红杉树吸收二氧化碳的能力。故选A。
6．细节理解题。根据第三段“After realizing the power giant sequoias have to fight climate change, Emson devoted his life to planting thousands in the UK by creating the One Life One Tree project.”（在意识到巨型红杉对抗气候变化的力量后，埃姆森毕生致力于在英国种植成千上万棵红杉，创建了“一生一棵树”项目。）可知，Henry Emson发起这个项目的目的是通过植树来保护环境。故选A。
7．推理判断题。第五段提到“According to One Tree One Life, 95% of the old-growth sequoia population has been logged over the past two centuries and what remains is under threat from climate change. “A 10 year drought and temperature increase have greatly damaged the health of the trees. A secondary impact of the drought is making them increasingly susceptible(易受影响的)to insect attack and fire”（根据“一棵树一世”的说法，在过去的两个世纪里，95%的老红杉被砍伐了，剩下的红杉也受到了气候变化的威胁。“10年多的干旱和气温上升极大地损害了树木的健康。干旱的二次影响使他们越来越容易受到昆虫袭击和火灾的影响）由此判断，加利福尼亚的巨型红杉树的生存现状面临气候威胁。最后一段提到“Emson’s work also benefits these trees. “They’re like climate refugees(难民)—we help them with assisted migration”（埃姆森的工作也使这些树木受益。“他们就像气候难民，我们帮助他们协助移民”）由此判断，Henry Emson的工作是在救助这些“难民”，由此可推断，Henry Emson的工作有助于巨型红杉树更好地生存。故选C。
8．D 9．A 10．B 11．B

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种能帮助有听力障碍的人“听到”对话的新发明。

(X RAI眼镜是由Dan Scarfe在与家人共度圣诞晚餐后开发的)”及“His light bulb moment came when he remembered his grandfather watching closed-caption TV and realized that AR glasses could be used for subtitles (字幕). (当他想起他的祖父看隐藏式字幕电视并意识到AR眼镜可用于字幕时，他的灯泡时刻到来了)”可知， 第二段主要讲述Scarfe是如何获得发明灵感的。故选D项。
9．词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“The glasses are connected to a smartphone that receives the audio (音频) from a microphone, (眼镜连接到智能手机，智能手机从麦克风接收音频)”可知，接收音频之后需要处理音频，此处” processes it指“处理音频”，故画线词it指代The audio。故选A项。
10．推理判断题。根据第四段“The UK was selected as a testing ground as over 13 million adults in Britain have hearing loss. However, when the product goes global, it may transform the lives of some 430 million people. This represents 5percent of the world’s population and includes 70 million people with total hearing loss. (英国被选为试验场，因为英国有超过1300万成年人患有听力损失。然而，当该产品走向全球时，它可能会改变约4.3亿人的生活。这占世界人口的5%，其中包括7000万听力损失者)”可知，全球有听力障碍的人很多，XRAI有很多受众。由此可推断，它有很大的市场潜力。故选B项。
11．推理判断题。根据第五段“This is a game changer for the deaf and is applauded by hearing loss charity RNID and Deaf Kidz International. Mark Atkinson of the charity wore them, saying, “As a deaf person myself, I was blown away by this technology. When I tried on the glasses, I was astonished that real-time subtitles enabled me to engage and participate as never before. (这对聋人来说是一个游戏规则的改变者，并受到听力损失慈善机构RNID和Deaf Kidz International的称赞。慈善机构的马克·阿特金森（Mark Atkinson）戴着它们说：“作为一个聋人，我被这项技术震撼了。当我试戴眼镜时，我惊讶地发现实时字幕使我能够以前所未有的方式参与和参与。”)”可知，作者提到Mark Atkinson是为了称赞这个新发明。故选B项。
12．C 13．C 14．A 15．D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了疫情期间鸟类栖息地的变化。当人类活动因为疫情封锁减少时，鸟类在城市的活动更活跃；当越来越多的人开始再次活动时，鸟类又会返回之前的植被覆盖率高且人类活动少的地方。
12．细节理解题。根据第一段“But for birds that inhabit developed areas of the Pacific Northwest, the reduction in noise due to pandemic lockdown s allowed them to use a wider range of habitats in cities.”（但对于栖息在太平洋西北部发达地区的鸟类来说，由于疫情封锁，噪音减少，它们可以在城市中使用更广泛的栖息地。）可知，疫情封锁期间，鸟类的栖息地扩大了。故选C项。
13．推理判断题。根据第三段“For about half of the species we observed, neither land use nor canopy cover(林冠盖度) had an effect on their site use. That’s very interesting, because we had expected that whether a habitat was mostly covered in concrete or vegetation could tell us something about what birds would be there.”（对于我们观察到的大约一半的物种，无论是土地使用还是树冠覆盖都不会对其场地使用产生影响。这很有趣，因为我们曾预计，无论栖息地主要是被混凝土还是植被覆盖，都可以告诉我们那里会有什么鸟类。）可推断，Sander foot及其同事们的发现与她预想的不一样。故选C项。
14．细节理解题。根据第四段“In the spring of 2020, Sander foot and her colleagues invited more than 900 community scientists in the Pacific Northwest to participate in the study.”（2020年春天，Sander foot和她的同事邀请了太平洋西北部的900多名社区科学家参与这项研究。）可知，Sander foot和她的同事让社区的一些科学家参与了他们的研究。故选A项。
15．主旨大意题。根据第一段“But for birds that inhabit developed areas of the Pacific Northwest, the reduction in noise due to pandemic lock downs allowed them to use a wider range of habitats in cities.”（但对于栖息在太平洋西北部发达地区的鸟类来说，由于疫情封锁，噪音减少，它们可以在城市中使用更广泛的栖息地。）及最后一段““The birds mostly were in highly developed urban areas at the height of the lock downs, because human activity wasn’t as much of a disturbance, but then returned to those vegetated areas as human activity increased again,” Sander foot said.”（Sander foot说：“在封锁最严重的时候，这些鸟大多生活在高度发达的城市地区，因为人类活动并没有那么大的干扰，但随着人类活动的再次增加，它们又回到了那些植被茂盛的地区。”。）可知，文章主要介绍了疫情期间鸟类栖息地的变化。故选D项。

(莱希建议你与非理性思维作斗争，更现实地思考你在生活中的位置。)”中的Leahy及空后“Here are some of his tips. (以下是他的一些提示)”中的his与G项中的He相呼应，又因为irrational thinking与G项中的assumptions相呼应，故G项“He suggests using scientific approaches to question your assumptions.(他建议用科学的方法质疑你的假设)”符合上下文语境，故选G项。
17．根据空后“Instead, turn toward the future and remember it can change based on the choices you make now. (相反，转向未来，记住它可以根据你现在所做的选择而改变。)”中的关键词Instead和future可知，空处内容应该是与下文相反，即告诉我们不要做什么，与B项“Don’t focus on where you might have been. (不要总是纠结于假设的过去的你可能会处于什么样的状态)”上下文一致，故选B项。
18．根据空后“Your negativity bias can keep you preoccupied with what’s wrong rather than what’s right. (你的消极偏见会让你全神贯注于什么是错的，而不是什么是对的。)”谈及消极情绪的不良影响，故旨在鼓励大家要积极，又根据空后“So, it’s a good idea to practise gratitude for the good in your life―even for the small and simple things. (所以，对生活中的美好事物心存感激是个好主意——即使是对小而简单的事情。)”可知，与D项“Focus on the positive aspects of your current life. (关注当前生活的积极方面)”上下文一致，故选D项。
19．根据空前“Don’t forget that sometimes things don’t turnout the way you wanted them to. (不要忘记，有时事情并没有按照你想要的方式发展。)”可知，生活中会有快乐也会也苦难，与F项“Life can hand you lemons, but that’s not necessarily your fault. (生活会给你带来苦难，但这并不一定是你的错。)”上下文一致，故选F项。

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在杂货店购物的时候遇到一个人，这个人询问是否可以借用购物车将买的东西运回附近的公寓，但是新来的收银员不知道如何回应。这时，作者主动提出开车送这个人回家。作者因为这件事也有所感悟——生活成本在增加，但是爱的成本却没有。
21．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这家小商店几乎是空的，只有一个收银员在工作。A. normal普通的；B. empty空的；C. perfect完美的；D. messy混乱的。后文提到“only one cashier(收银员)was working. ”（只有一个收银员在工作），由此判断，此时这家商店里没有什么顾客，因此显得空空荡荡的。故选B。

26．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：收银员是新来的，不太确定。A. honest诚实的；B. shy害羞的；C. afraid害怕的；D. sure确定的。后文提到“I said that I’d be happy to give him a 6 back home.”（我说我很乐意让他搭车回家。），由此判断，这个人没有把手推车推回自己家里，因为收银员也是新来的，并不能确定能不能这样做。故选D。
27．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我说我很乐意让他搭车回家。A. chance机会；B. tip提示；C. lift免费搭车，搭便车；D. lesson课。后文提到“Then, we loaded his 7 groceries into my car”（然后，我们把他的东西都装到了我的车上），由此判断，作者让这个人坐自己的车，让他搭了便车，此处是固定短语give a lift，意为“让……搭车”。故选C。
28．考查名词词义辨析。句意：然后，我们把他买的东西装进我的车里，在去他住处的路上聊天。A. presents礼物；B. groceries食品；C. exhibitions展品；D. inventions发明。前文提到“I waited while the guy in front of me was putting all the bagged groceries back into his shopping cart(购物车). ”（我等着前面的那个人把所有袋装食品都放回他的购物车里。），由此判断，作者和这个人把自己买的东西放到了车上。故选B。

39．考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我们分享我们的爱时，成本不会上升。A. ignore忽视；B. abandon放弃；C. mention提到；D. share分享。根据前文中作者对于陌生人的帮助可知，这是分享爱。故选D。

42．考查非谓语动词。句意：本次展览展出了来自112个“一带一路”国家艺术家的190多件作品。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词presents，所以create应该用非谓语形式，根据空后的by可知，此处表被动，应该用过去分词表被动。故填created。
43．考查定语从句关系词。句意：它还包括一个互动单元，游客可以点击鼠标或在触摸屏上使用手指来更改艺术品的数字版本。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是unit，在从句中作地点状语，应该用where引导。故填where。
44．考查非谓语动词。句意：它还包括一个互动单元，游客可以点击鼠标或在触摸屏上使用手指来更改艺术品的数字版本。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词click，所以change应该用非谓语形式，它的逻辑主语是visitors，此处是表目的，应该用不定式形式。故填to change。
45．考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：吴教授表示，迄今为止，文化和旅游部已经邀请了来自欧洲、非洲、美洲、大洋洲和亚洲的无数有影响力的艺术家在中国各地进行实地考察、驻地项目和研讨会。分析句子结构，本句缺少谓语动词，所以invite作本句谓语，根据标志词so far可知，应该用现在完成时，主语是the Ministry of Culture and Tourism为第三人称单数。故填has invited。
46．考查名词。句意：这些艺术家从在中国的经历中汲取灵感，创作了油画、水墨画、雕塑和混合媒介等多种多样的作品。分析句子结构可知，空前是现在分词Drawing，所以空处应填名词与drawing构成动宾关系，inspire的名词形式是inspiration意为“灵感”为不可数名词。故填inspiration。
47．考查冠词。句意：这些艺术家从在中国的经历中汲取灵感，创作了油画、水墨画、雕塑和混合媒介等多种多样的作品。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定搭配：a wide variety of意为“多种多样的”。故填a。

49．考查代词。句意：文化艺术创作，无论其具体形式如何，都有利于一个国家的创新和可持续发展。分析句子结构可知，空后是名词forms，所以空处应填形容词性物主代词作定语。故填their。
50．考查形容词。句意：文化艺术创作，无论其具体形式如何，都有利于一个国家的创新和可持续发展。分析句子结构可知，空前是系动词are，空处应填形容词作表语，此处是固定搭配：be beneficial to意为“有益于”。故填beneficial。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了拍摄黑洞照片背后的故事。
【详解】1. 考查冠词。句意：4月10日，人类历史上第一次看到了黑洞的照片。分析句子可知，序数词first前要使用定冠词the进行修饰。故在first前the。
2. 考查时态。句意：这张由计算机科学家凯蒂·鲍曼拍摄的照片很快就在人们中间流行起来。分析句子可知，此处描述过去的事实，因此需使用一般过去时。故去掉had。
3. 考查介词。句意：如果没有凯蒂·鲍曼的努力，就不可能有这样的历史性画面。分析句子可知，“这个历史性的画面”是在鲍曼的努力下才得到的，因此没有她的努力的话，就不会有这个历史性的画面，此处为转折关系。故将With改为Without。
4. 考查非谓语。句意：拍摄黑洞的照片并不容易。分析句子可知，此处作主语，表示一般性的行为，要使用动名词，且位于句首时首字母大写。故将Take改为Taking。
5. 考查代词。句意：许多其他科学家一直在尝试，但没有一个成功。分析句子可知，neither意为“两者都不”，此处“很多”科学家不止两名，可使用代词none意为“三者以上都不”。故将neither改为none。
6. 考查连词。句意：她与其他科学家合作，多次改进程序。分析句子可知，“和科学家合作”及“改进程序”为并列关系，应使用并列连词and。故将but改为and。
7. 考查副词。句意：最终，他们成功地将程序数据转化为黑洞图像。分析句子可知，句中需使用副词successfully（成功地）在句中作状语修饰动词turned。故将successful改为successfully。
8. 考查名词复数。句意：鲍曼被认为是最伟大的女性之一，受到了很多赞扬。分析句子可知，固定短语one of（……之一）后接可数名词复数形式。故将woman改为women。
9. 考查代词。句意：然而，她说，这一成功归功于整个团队。分析句子可知，该句为宾语从句，从句中结构完成，可使用that引导宾语从句，同时因为that在从句中不作成分，只起到引导作用，因此可以省略that。故将what改为that或去掉what。
10. 考查固定短语。句意：然而，她说，这一成功归功于整个团队。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语be credited to，意为“相信；把……归功于”。故将crediting改为credited。
52．One possible version:
Dear David,
I’m glad to hear that you are interested in the COVID-19 epidemic prevention activity held in our school from 3:00 to 5:00 last Friday afternoon. Let me tell you some relevant details.
In the beginning, two famous experts delivered a speech on the epidemic prevention. Then we had a group discussion on how to prevent the epidemic. After that, three students expressed their views on the epidemic prevention based on their experiences. What we students liked most was that we practised the prevention methods taught by the experts.
The activity was a success because it helped us students get a better understanding of COVID-19 and increased our self-protection awareness.
Yours,
Li Hua
