80、备受鼓舞，重拾信心。【38题详解】词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“All that was left was half a trunk that had been burnt black, with roots that were broken and only one living branch.只剩下半根被烧黑的树干，根被折断了，只有一根活着的树枝。”可知，小树损伤非常严重。以及第三段划线句子前句“Bringing that seriously damaged tree back to health was not an easy task（让这棵严重受损的树恢复健康不是一件容易的任务）”

81、以及连词and可知，划线句子与前句是并列关系；并且划线后句“which cost a lot of patience and determination（需要很多耐心和决心）”可知，小树能否被救活带有极大地不确定性。选项“It was unpredictable whether the tree could be saved or not. 这棵树能否保住是无法预测的。”符合语境。故选B项。【39题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“She truly is a symbol of the resilience of natureand a reminder of all that was lost

83、 symbolize resilience.（现在，纽约和长崎的两棵树都象征着坚韧。）”符合语境。故选D项。【40题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“What a fascinating world, the nature kingdom. Whenever you give her a chance, nature returns. Human beings should understand how much we actually depend on the natural world, physically and spiritually.（多么迷人的世界，自然王国。只要你给她机会，

84、自然就会回归。人类应该了解我们在物质和精神上对自然的依赖程度。）”以及短文叙述了作者1990年访问了长崎的经历和经历了911恐怖袭击的经历。目睹了濒临死亡的枯树靠着顽强的生命力活了下来，不禁感叹大自然惊人的恢复力，因此而备受鼓舞，重拾信心。可知，大自然顽强的生命力给了人类极大的鼓舞和信心。所以这篇文章意在展示大自然是如何激励我们人类的。故选D项。(B)Most of us have an irrational fear or habit.

Or worse, many business people, for their part, assume that artists are a bunch of ambitious wasters. Bosses may stick a few modernist paintings on their boardroom walls.

122、But they seldom take the arts seriously as a source of inspiration.The bias starts at business school, where “hard” things such as numbers matter a lot. It is strengthened by everyday experience.

138、 English, using the words given in the brackets.52. 我们要牢记，与时俱进是社会发展的关键。(mind)【52题答案】【答案】We should keep in mind that moving with the times is the key to social development.【解析】【详解】考查动词短语。“牢记”使用动词短语keep in mind，“与时俱进是社会发展的关键”译为一个宾语从句，是描述一个客观事实，用一般现在时，“与时俱进”译为move with the times，在句中作主语，应用动名词形式，be动词用is，

139、“的关键”使用固定短语the key to，“社会发展”译为social development，所以宾语从句译为moving with the times is the key to social development，从句结构、意义完整，用that引导，故本句可译为We should keep in mind that moving with the times is the key to social development.53. 今晚在场的宾客都是为文物保护作出巨大贡献的考古学家。(present)【53题答案】【答案】The guests present here tonight

140、 are all archaeologists who have made a great contribution to preserving our heritage.【解析】【详解】考查形容词，时态及定语从句。make a great contribution to doing sth. 对某事做出巨大贡献；形容词present作定语时，不用于名词前；句中who引导定语从句，修饰先行词archaeologists，连词在从句中作主语。句中考古学家对文物保护做出巨大贡献，强调现在的结果，因此使用现在完成时，根据句意，故翻译为：The guests present here tonight

141、are all archaeologists who have made a great contribution to preserving our heritage.54. 在当前情况下，媒体不该传播谣言，而是要呼吁人们众志成城，共渡难关。(appeal)【54题答案】【答案】Under the current circumstances, the media should not spread rumors, but appeal to people to work together to overcome the difficulties.【解析】【详解】考查短语、非谓语动词和情态动词

142、。under the circumstances在这种情况下； spread rumors传播谣言；appeal to sb to do呼吁某人做某事；work together众志成城；overcome the difficulty共渡难关。句中用不定时的作目的状语。情态动词should not表示“不应该”。根据句意，故翻译为Under the current circumstances, the media should not spread rumors, but appeal to people to work together to overcome the difficultie

143、s.55. 这个针对线上观众的项目，通过使壁画数字化，让更多人了解了莫高窟(the Mogao caves)。(target)【55题答案】【答案】The project, targeted at an online audience, makes the Mogao caves more accessible by digitizing the murals.【解析】【详解】考查名词、动词、介词、形容词、短语和时态。表示“这个项目”应用名词短语the project；表示“针对”应用形容词短语targeted at；表示“线上观众”应用名词短语an online audience；表示“通过

144、”应用介词by；表示“壁画”应用名词mural的复数，表示整体概念；表示“使数字化”应用动词digitize；表示“莫高窟”应用名词短语the Mogao caves；表示“让更多人了解”应用动词短语makemore accessible。分析句子意思可知，“针对线上观众的”是“项目”的定语，所以可以形容词短语做后置定语。“使壁画数字化”是表示“通过”意思的介词by的宾语，所以要用动名词形式；这句话是描述现在的情况，所以谓语用一般现在时，主语是“这个项目”，谓语要用第三人称单数形式。故翻译为The project, targeted at an online audience, makes t

145、he Mogao caves more accessible by digitizing the murals。56. 这本讲述老人与鲨鱼浴血奋战的小说如此扣人心弦，以致于他爱不释手。(So)【56题答案】【答案】The novel about an old mans bloody battle with a shark is so gripping that he cant help reading it all the time.【解析】【详解】考查形容词，固定句型。根据汉语，转换成英文，主语是novel（小说），这里没有谓语动词，所以使用系动词，主语是单数形式，而且表述的是一件事实，所以

146、用一般现在时，使用is，表语是gripping（扣人心弦的），固定句型sothat（以至于）；从句主语是he（他），谓语动词是爱不释手，也就是表达一直在看书，所以使用固定搭配cant help doing sth.（情不自禁做某事），read“读”，宾语指代上文提到的novel，用代词it，all the time“一直”。然后在对主句主语进行修饰，是一本关于“老人与鲨鱼浴血奋战的小说”（about an old mans bloody battle with a shark），综上所述，本句翻译为The novel about old mans bloody battle with shark is so gripping that he cant help reading it all the time.
