97、link. . . to/with与有关;与相连接。64. 【解析】helpful。考查词形变化。句意: 作为一项水上运动,游泳对关节和肌肉的伤害较小,有助于提高学生的耐力。help的形容词是helpful。65. 【解析】Consequently。考查副词。句意: 因此,从长远来看,这对学生是有益的。its beneficial to students in the long run表示“从长远来看对学生有好处”,是上文的结果,所以用Consequently连接。第四部分写作 (共两节, 满分40分)第一节(满分15分)你发现周围很多同学在用手机发短信,玩游戏等,影响了正常学习,请针对这个现
