58、 (补偿)”， which means paying someone else to cut pollution or remove greenhouse gases.But its not always clear that offsetting truly lowers pollution.Global heating is a huge part of the climate emergency.The world is getting hotter mainly because humans are burning “fossil (化石) fuels” like coal and o

63、mental issues.CBecause they all plan to be carbon neutral.DBecause they do not share a common plan and goal.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第一段中的They are running .lowers pollution.可知，有人认为这些公司在“漂绿”，是因为他们实际上还是在以过去的方式经营企业，没有人打算立即停止污染活动，或者他们计划通过购买“碳补偿”来实现这些气候目标，但人们并不总是清楚碳补偿行为是否真的能降低污染。也就是说，关于环境污染问题，他们只是口头上说说，未采取行动。pay lip

88、 of tea.It is polite 63 (offer) the tea cup to guests with both hands.Of course, the guests should pay respect as well, 64 (take) the cup with both hands.Talking about adding water to the tea cup, there is 65 saying: Wine full, full cup.Tea half, half cup.For wine, the full cup symbolizes whole hear

89、tiness.For tea, the half cup means modesty.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国茶文化的历史、喝热茶的原因、喝茶礼仪以及关于茶的俗语等。56which分析句子结构可知，此处为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词The Classic of Tea，空处为关系词，指物，故填which。57explanation根据空前的detailed可知，空处被形容词修饰，故用explain的名词形式。58itself句意：然而，中国的茶文化远超过茶本身。据此可知，空处用反身代词itself。59will be destroyed根据语境可知，主语nutrients

90、 in the tea和动词destroy之间为被动关系，故用被动语态；根据该句结构可知，该句为复合句，在if引导的条件状语从句中用一般现在时代替一般将来时，主句则用一般将来时，故空处用一般将来时的被动语态。60leaves根据常识可知，该处的茶叶为复数概念。61tobe accustomed to为固定搭配，意为“习惯于”。62constantly根据空后的动词add可知，空处修饰该动词，故用副词形式。63to offer分析句子结构可知，该句使用了固定句式“Itis/wasadj.to do sth.”， It为形式主语，动词不定式作真正的主语。64taking分析句子结构可知，空处作伴随

91、状语，且take与其逻辑主语the guests之间是主谓关系，故用现在分词。65a该处泛指“一句俗语”，且saying的发音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a。第四部分写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节(满分15分)假定你是李华，你的好友John上周六邀请你一同参观了他所在城市博物馆的西方艺术画展，期间他为你详细介绍了西方绘画的发展史和许多著名画家及其作品，你收获很大。请给他写一封邮件，内容包括：1表示感谢；2参观画展收获；3表达祝愿。注意：1.词数80左右2开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数；3可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Dear John， Yours sincerely，Li Hua参考范文
