The sund f leaves underft is usually assciated with autumn. But this year, it was the sundtrack t summer walks acrss Eurpe, as maximum temperature recrds fell and the cntinent suffered its wrst drught in 500 years.
The drught had been building fr mnths after a dry winter and spring, but it was wrse by a series f fierce heatwaves ver the summer, says Sim n Parry at the UK Centre fr Eclgy &Hydrlgy. In France, nuclear pwer plants were frced t reduce their utput as lw river flws meant there wasn’t enugh water t cl their reactrs. Water levels n the Rhine river drpped s far that ships laded with gds in Germany and the Netherlands, including cal and petrl, were unable t travel. Besides, farmers saw crps wither(枯萎). Harvests f sya-beans and sunflwer seeds were predicted t fall by between12 and 16 percent.
This was a crisis caused in large part by climate change, says Richard Allan, wh is als at the University f Reading. “Warming due t human-caused climate change made this event much mre extreme,” he says. Studies suggest that the drught was made at least 20 times mre likely by glbal warming.
Hwever, that missing rainfall ends up smewhere, says Peter Gleick at the Pacific Institute in Califrnia. This year’s disastrus flds in cuntries including Australia and Pakistan are the “flip side” f the drughts, he says. “The drughts and the extreme flds that we are seeing are tied tgether, and are part and parcel f the brader challenge f climate change,” says Gleick.
In the wake f a drught, it is critical that nature gets time t recver. But fr Eurpe, this was the secnd severe drught in fur years. “My grass has already recvered frm this summer... but if I had a tree that survived it, that wuld take 10 years r mre t get back t a nrmal state,” says Nik Wanders at Utrecht University in the Netherlands.
28. What is the authr’s purpse in mentining the sund?
A. T shw the seasnal cycle.B. T describe the beauty f autumn.
C. T emphasize the dry weather.D. T clarify trees’ survival mde.
29. What is paragraph 2 f the text mainly abut?
A. The reductin f river water.B. The duratin(持续)f the drught.
C. The causes f varius lsses.D. The cnsequences f the disaster.
30. Which is prbably the best way t tackle climate change accrding t the text?
A. Expanding climate mnitring.B. Imprving human behavir.
C. Prmting natural restratin.D. Balancing water distributin.
31 What is the authr’s attitude tward the climate change trend in Eurpe?
A. Cnservative.B. Unclear.C. Cncerned.D. Hpeful.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，全文介绍了欧洲干旱情况日益加重导致的一系列后果。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The sund f leaves underft is usually assciated with autumn. But this year, it was the sundtrack t summer walks acrss Eurpe, as maximum temperature recrds fell and the cntinent suffered its wrst drught in 500 years.(脚下树叶的声音通常与秋天联系在一起。但今年，随着最高气温记录的下降和欧洲大陆遭遇500年来最严重的干旱，它成为了欧洲夏季徒步旅行的背景音乐)”及第二段描写干旱现状可推知，第一段作者提及树叶落下的声音是为了强调干旱天气这种自然现象。故选C项。
29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The drught had been building fr mnths after a dry winter and spring, but it was wrse by a series f fierce heatwaves ver the summer, says Sim n Parry at the UK Centre fr Eclgy &Hydrlgy. In France, nuclear pwer plants were frced t reduce their utput as lw river flws meant there wasn’t enugh water t cl their reactrs. Water levels n the Rhine river drpped s far that ships laded with gds in Germany and the Netherlands, including cal and petrl, were unable t travel. Besides, farmers saw crps wither(枯萎). Harvests f sya-beans and sunflwer seeds were predicted t fall by between12 and 16 percent.(英国生态与水文中心的西蒙·帕里说，在经历了干燥的冬季和春季之后，干旱已经持续了好几个月，但夏季一系列强烈的热浪使情况变得更糟。在法国，核电站被迫减少发电量，因为河水流量过低意味着没有足够的水来冷却反应堆。莱茵河的水位下降得如此之大，以至于在德国和荷兰装载货物（包括煤炭和汽油）的船只无法通行。此外，农民看到庄稼枯萎。大豆和葵花籽的收成预计将下降12%至16%)”可知，文章第二段主要描述了持续干旱造成的一系列后果。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This was a crisis caused in large part by climate change, says Richard Allan, wh is als at the University f Reading. “Warming due t human-caused climate change made this event much mre extreme,” he says.(雷丁大学的理查德·艾伦说，这场危机在很大程度上是由气候变化引起的。他说:“人类引起的气候变化导致的气候变暖使这一事件更加极端。”)”可推知，这种干旱很大程度上是由于人类导致的气候变化引起的，所以为了处理气候问题，人们需要改善自己的行为。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But this year, it was the sundtrack t summer walks acrss Eurpe, as maximum temperature recrds fell and the cntinent suffered its wrst drught in 500 years.(但今年，随着最高气温记录的下降和欧洲大陆遭遇500年来最严重的干旱，它成为了欧洲夏季徒步旅行的背景音乐)”及最后一段“But fr Eurpe, this was the secnd severe drught in fur years. “My grass has already recvered frm this summer... but if I had a tree that survived it, that wuld take 10 years r mre t get back t a nrmal state,” says Nik Wanders at Utrecht University in the Netherlands.(但对欧洲来说，这是四年来的第二次严重干旱。“我的草已经从这个夏天恢复过来了……但如果我有一棵幸存下来的树，那将需要10年或更长时间才能恢复到正常状态，”荷兰乌得勒支大学的尼科·旺德斯说)”可推知，作者认为欧洲的干旱情况很严重，影响很恶劣，所以他对于欧洲的气候变化趋势持有担忧态度。故选C项。

He says he has yet t find the limits n being successful and he desn’t believe them t be real.
Ericssn has lked primarily at artistic and athletic skills, but can these findings apply t creativity? Mst experts agree that even if mst peple cannt hpe t becme creative geniuses, they can learn t becme mre creative thrugh practice. Psychlgists claim that there are actually tw levels f creativity, which they refer t as’Big C’ and ‘small c’. Big C creativity applies t breakthrugh ideas, nes that may change the curse f a field r even histry. Small c creativity refers t everyday creative prblem slving, like creating a new recipe r imprving a prcess, which psychlgists subdivide further int similar and different thinking. Similar thinking invlves examining all the facts and arriving at a single slutin. In cntrast, different thinking invlves cming up with many pssible slutins. What mst peple think f as creativity generally invlves different thinking and can be taught, practised and learnt.
Even with practice, different thinking alne cannt make ne creative, hwever. Sctt Barry Kaufman, a cgnitive psychlgist, says that mst creative peple share ne persnality quality: penness t new experience. Since this quality and these prcesses have been identified, less creative peple can try t emulate them. Nrmally, we tend t reprduce what we already knw because creative ideas mve us int unfamiliar territry invlving risks and fllwing the usual behavirs is cmfrtable.
Mving utside f ur cmfrt zne, engaging indeliberate practice and tlerating cntradictry ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn t d better. It is unlikely that ding s will transfrm any f us int creative geniuses, but it des have the ptential t increase ur level f creativity.
32. Why des Ericssn think he can’t find the limits?
A. N restrictins exist.B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Each ne can succeed.D. The gal is ambitius.
33. Which f the fllwing is an example f ‘small c’?
A. Settling in uter space.
B. Building a plastic dghuse.
C. Develping rbts t lk after the ld.
D. Explaining the thery f evlutin in class.

【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是通过练习，我们可以提高我们的创造力。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“He says he has yet t find the limits n being successful and he desn’t believe them t be real. (他说他还没有找到成功的限制，他不相信这些限制是真的。)”可知，埃里克森认为他找不到极限是因为不存在任何限制。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Small c creativity refers t everyday creative prblem slving, like creating a new recipe r imprving a prcess, which psychlgists subdivide further int similar and different thinking. (小创造力指的是日常创造性地解决问题，比如创造一个新配方或改进一个过程，心理学家将其进一步细分为相似和不同的思维。)”可知，建一个塑料狗窝是“小c”的例子，因为这是创造一个新东西的过程，故选B。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段的“Nrmally, we tend t reprduce what we already knw because creative ideas mve us int unfamiliar territry invlving risks and fllwing the usual behavirs is cmfrtable. (通常情况下，我们倾向于复制我们已经知道的东西，因为创造性的想法会把我们带入一个充满风险的陌生领域，而遵循通常的行为是舒适的。)”可知，划线词所在句子的意思是“由于这种品质和这些过程已经被确定，缺乏创造力的人可以尝试模仿他们”，划线词的意思是“模仿，复制”，和cpy意思相近，故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“Mving utside f ur cmfrt zne, engaging indeliberate practice and tlerating cntradictry ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn t d better. It is unlikely that ding s will transfrm any f us int creative geniuses, but it des have the ptential t increase ur level f creativity. (走出我们的舒适区，进行不经意的练习，容忍矛盾的想法，风险和失败，这些都是我们可以学会做得更好的事情。这样做不太可能把我们中的任何一个人变成有创造力的天才，但它确实有可能提高我们的创造力水平。)”可知，本文主要讲的是通过练习，我们可以提高我们的创造力，因此本文主要想表达的是“我们可以学着更有创造力”。故选A。

【56题详解】
考查介词。句意：与西方人在家或在餐馆喝冷水不同，中国人无论什么季节都拿着保温杯。cntrary t 为固定搭配。故填 t。
【57题详解】
考查词性转换。句意：为什么他们偏爱热水?此处应填名词，prefer的名词形式为 preference，作宾语。故填preference。
【58题详解】
考查动名词。句意：在过去，当局建议喝开水来预防传染病，因为人们普遍认为这是一种杀死细菌的方法。suggest ding sth. 为常见搭配。故填 drinking。
【59题详解】

考查定语从句。句意：最后，传统中医非常强调阴阳，热水被认为是阳，冷水被认为是阴。此处a cncept是先行词，表示抽象地点，在后面的句子中作地点状语，所以定语从句由关系副词where引导。即：在阴阳理论中，热水为阳，冷水为阴。故填 where。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意：人们相信，在寒冷的天气里，喝热水可以平衡体内的阴阳，从而使整体健康状况更好。根据句意“一般认为，饮用热水能让人体内的阴阳平衡，并且让人在寒冷的天气条件下保持健康。”可知,此处表示顺承关系，且不能使用定于从句引导词which。故填 and。
【65题详解】
考查词性转换。句意：所以下次你感冒的时候，你还会对中国朋友关于多喝热水的建议感到困惑吗?此处需要形容词来形容人的心情，作表语。故填 cnfused。

Then the emplyee rules flded int my mind: remain plite but d nt let the custmers get the best f yu. At the thught f that, I managed a friendly smile and autmatically blurted ut, “I’m srry, madam, but I can’t give away anything fr free.” Hearing this, the ld wman ndded her head, her face darkened and eyelids drpped. Unwillingly, she put the can back n the shelf, shuffled past me tward the dr and vanished int the distance. It was at that mment that a ripple f regret welled up inside me. Hw I wished I hadn’t said thse wrds! (81 wrds)
Mments after she left, I rushed ut f the dr with the can f crn. Frtunately, the gaunt figure f the ld wman was still in sight, s I went running up t her. “Madam, Merry Christmas!” said I, thrusting the can f crn int her hand. Fr a secnd, I culd feel that her hand quivered. Withut waiting fr her reply, I just waved her gdbye befre trtting straight away. Fr the rest f my shift, the image f the wman cnstantly reminded me that while dealing with ther human beings, it was sincere cncern rather than a glib respnse that culd smth ver any difficulty.

Pssible versin 2:
Then the emplyee rules flded int my mind: remain plite, but d nt let custmers get the best f yu. Fr a mment, I even entertained the idea that this was sme srt f test, and that this wman was smene frm the head ffice, testing my lyalty. I respnded dutifully, “I’m srry, madam, but I can’t give away anything fr free.” The ld wman’s face cllapsed a bit mre and her hands trembled as she put the can back n the shelf. She shuffled past me tward the dr, her trn and dirty clthing barely cvering her bent back. (80 wrds)
Mments after she left, I rushed ut the dr with the can f crn. But she was nwhere in sight. While I was dragging myself back, what kept me cmpany was merely biting wind. Fr the rest f my shift, the image f the wman haunted me. I was s yung, healthy and smug while she was s ld, sick and desperate. Wishing with all my heart that I had acted like a human being rather than s merciless an emplyee, I was saddened t realize when facing dilemmas hw difficult it was fr a heart t stay gld. (85 wrds)
【解析】

【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“然后，我的脑海中浮现出了员工守则：保持礼貌，但不要让顾客占你的便宜。”可知，第一段描写作者按照员工守则，拒绝提供免费的食物，老妇人失望地离开了，而作者感到了后悔。
②由第二段首句内容“她走后不久，我拿着玉米罐冲出了门。”可知，第二段可描写作者给老妇人送去玉米罐头，她很感激，而作者也感悟了在与他人打交道时，应是真诚的关心，而不是能化解任何困难的油嘴滑舌的回应。
2.续写线索：拒绝老妇人—后悔—追上老妇人—老妇人感激—获得感悟

The sund f leaves underft is usually assciated with autumn. But this year, it was the sundtrack t summer walks acrss Eurpe, as maximum temperature recrds fell and the cntinent suffered its wrst drught in 500 years.
The drught had been building fr mnths after a dry winter and spring, but it was wrse by a series f fierce heatwaves ver the summer, says Sim n Parry at the UK Centre fr Eclgy &Hydrlgy. In France, nuclear pwer plants were frced t reduce their utput as lw river flws meant there wasn’t enugh water t cl their reactrs. Water levels n the Rhine river drpped s far that ships laded with gds in Germany and the Netherlands, including cal and petrl, were unable t travel. Besides, farmers saw crps wither(枯萎). Harvests f sya-beans and sunflwer seeds were predicted t fall by between12 and 16 percent.
This was a crisis caused in large part by climate change, says Richard Allan, wh is als at the University f Reading. “Warming due t human-caused climate change made this event much mre extreme,” he says. Studies suggest that the drught was made at least 20 times mre likely by glbal warming.
Hwever, that missing rainfall ends up smewhere, says Peter Gleick at the Pacific Institute in Califrnia. This year’s disastrus flds in cuntries including Australia and Pakistan are the “flip side” f the drughts, he says. “The drughts and the extreme flds that we are seeing are tied tgether, and are part and parcel f the brader challenge f climate change,” says Gleick.
In the wake f a drught, it is critical that nature gets time t recver. But fr Eurpe, this was the secnd severe drught in fur years. “My grass has already recvered frm this summer... but if I had a tree that survived it, that wuld take 10 years r mre t get back t a nrmal state,” says Nik Wanders at Utrecht University in the Netherlands.
28. What is the authr’s purpse in mentining the sund?
A. T shw the seasnal cycle.B. T describe the beauty f autumn.
C. T emphasize the dry weather.D. T clarify trees’ survival mde.
29. What is paragraph 2 f the text mainly abut?
A. The reductin f river water.B. The duratin(持续)f the drught.
C. The causes f varius lsses.D. The cnsequences f the disaster.
30. Which is prbably the best way t tackle climate change accrding t the text?
A. Expanding climate mnitring.B. Imprving human behavir.
C. Prmting natural restratin.D. Balancing water distributin.
31 What is the authr’s attitude tward the climate change trend in Eurpe?
A. Cnservative.B. Unclear.C. Cncerned.D. Hpeful.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. C

主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The drught had been building fr mnths after a dry winter and spring, but it was wrse by a series f fierce heatwaves ver the summer, says Sim n Parry at the UK Centre fr Eclgy &Hydrlgy. In France, nuclear pwer plants were frced t reduce their utput as lw river flws meant there wasn’t enugh water t cl their reactrs. Water levels n the Rhine river drpped s far that ships laded with gds in Germany and the Netherlands, including cal and petrl, were unable t travel. Besides, farmers saw crps wither(枯萎). Harvests f sya-beans and sunflwer seeds were predicted t fall by between12 and 16 percent.(英国生态与水文中心的西蒙·帕里说，在经历了干燥的冬季和春季之后，干旱已经持续了好几个月，但夏季一系列强烈的热浪使情况变得更糟。在法国，核电站被迫减少发电量，因为河水流量过低意味着没有足够的水来冷却反应堆。莱茵河的水位下降得如此之大，以至于在德国和荷兰装载货物（包括煤炭和汽油）的船只无法通行。此外，农民看到庄稼枯萎。大豆和葵花籽的收成预计将下降12%至16%)”可知，文章第二段主要描述了持续干旱造成的一系列后果。故选D项。

【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But this year, it was the sundtrack t summer walks acrss Eurpe, as maximum temperature recrds fell and the cntinent suffered its wrst drught in 500 years.(但今年，随着最高气温记录的下降和欧洲大陆遭遇500年来最严重的干旱，它成为了欧洲夏季徒步旅行的背景音乐)”及最后一段“But fr Eurpe, this was the secnd severe drught in fur years. “My grass has already recvered frm this summer... but if I had a tree that survived it, that wuld take 10 years r mre t get back t a nrmal state,” says Nik Wanders at Utrecht University in the Netherlands.(但对欧洲来说，这是四年来的第二次严重干旱。“我的草已经从这个夏天恢复过来了……但如果我有一棵幸存下来的树，那将需要10年或更长时间才能恢复到正常状态，”荷兰乌得勒支大学的尼科·旺德斯说)”可推知，作者认为欧洲的干旱情况很严重，影响很恶劣，所以他对于欧洲的气候变化趋势持有担忧态度。故选C项。

Mst f us wuld like t be mre creative, but we assume there is little we can d abut it. Psychlgy prfessr K. Anders Ericssn claims that with enugh practice, any f us can becme experts. Hwever, he is quick t add that this requires a specific kind f practice that Ericssn calls ‘deliberate practice’: that is, pushing beynd ne’s cmfrt zne and setting gals that are abve ne’s current level f perfrmance. He says he has yet t find the limits n being successful and he desn’t believe them t be real.
Ericssn has lked primarily at artistic and athletic skills, but can these findings apply t creativity? Mst experts agree that even if mst peple cannt hpe t becme creative geniuses, they can learn t becme mre creative thrugh practice. Psychlgists claim that there are actually tw levels f creativity, which they refer t as’Big C’ and ‘small c’. Big C creativity applies t breakthrugh ideas, nes that may change the curse f a field r even histry. Small c creativity refers t everyday creative prblem slving, like creating a new recipe r imprving a prcess, which psychlgists subdivide further int similar and different thinking. Similar thinking invlves examining all the facts and arriving at a single slutin. In cntrast, different thinking invlves cming up with many pssible slutins. What mst peple think f as creativity generally invlves different thinking and can be taught, practised and learnt.
Even with practice, different thinking alne cannt make ne creative, hwever. Sctt Barry Kaufman, a cgnitive psychlgist, says that mst creative peple share ne persnality quality: penness t new experience. Since this quality and these prcesses have been identified, less creative peple can try t emulate them. Nrmally, we tend t reprduce what we already knw because creative ideas mve us int unfamiliar territry invlving risks and fllwing the usual behavirs is cmfrtable.
Mving utside f ur cmfrt zne, engaging indeliberate practice and tlerating cntradictry ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn t d better. It is unlikely that ding s will transfrm any f us int creative geniuses, but it des have the ptential t increase ur level f creativity.
32. Why des Ericssn think he can’t find the limits?
A. N restrictins exist.B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Each ne can succeed.D. The gal is ambitius.
33. Which f the fllwing is an example f ‘small c’?
A. Settling in uter space.
B. Building a plastic dghuse.
C. Develping rbts t lk after the ld.
D. Explaining the thery f evlutin in class.
34. What des the underlined wrd “emulate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Justify.B. Limit.C. Cpy.D. Assess.
35. What message des the authr seem t cnvey in the text?
A. We can learn t be mre creative.
B. Life is full f varius challenges.
C. It’s better t take deliberate practice.
D. Mst can becme creative geniuses.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是通过练习，我们可以提高我们的创造力。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“He says he has yet t find the limits n being successful and he desn’t believe them t be real. (他说他还没有找到成功的限制，他不相信这些限制是真的。)”可知，埃里克森认为他找不到极限是因为不存在任何限制。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Small c creativity refers t everyday creative prblem slving, like creating a new recipe r imprving a prcess, which psychlgists subdivide further int similar and different thinking. (小创造力指的是日常创造性地解决问题，比如创造一个新配方或改进一个过程，心理学家将其进一步细分为相似和不同的思维。)”可知，建一个塑料狗窝是“小c”的例子，因为这是创造一个新东西的过程，故选B。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段的“Nrmally, we tend t reprduce what we already knw because creative ideas mve us int unfamiliar territry invlving risks and fllwing the usual behavirs is cmfrtable. (通常情况下，我们倾向于复制我们已经知道的东西，因为创造性的想法会把我们带入一个充满风险的陌生领域，而遵循通常的行为是舒适的。)”可知，划线词所在句子的意思是“由于这种品质和这些过程已经被确定，缺乏创造力的人可以尝试模仿他们”，划线词的意思是“模仿，复制”，和cpy意思相近，故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“Mving utside f ur cmfrt zne, engaging indeliberate practice and tlerating cntradictry ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn t d better. It is unlikely that ding s will transfrm any f us int creative geniuses, but it des have the ptential t increase ur level f creativity. (走出我们的舒适区，进行不经意的练习，容忍矛盾的想法，风险和失败，这些都是我们可以学会做得更好的事情。这样做不太可能把我们中的任何一个人变成有创造力的天才，但它确实有可能提高我们的创造力水平。)”可知，本文主要讲的是通过练习，我们可以提高我们的创造力，因此本文主要想表达的是“我们可以学着更有创造力”。故选A。

【39题详解】
根据前文“Other peple’s mds can prvide yu with critical clues abut hw things are ging. (别人的情绪可以为你提供事情进展的关键线索)”可知，此处强调观察别人情绪可以为你提供事情进展的关键线索。C选项“Ntice what peple may be feeling when yu drp by t talk briefly.(当你顺道拜访时，注意一下别人的感受)”承接前文，构成因果关系即因为观察别人情绪可以为你提供事情进展的关键线索，所以当你顺道拜访时，注意一下别人的感受。故选C。

【56题详解】
考查介词。句意：与西方人在家或在餐馆喝冷水不同，中国人无论什么季节都拿着保温杯。cntrary t 为固定搭配。故填 t。
【57题详解】
考查词性转换。句意：为什么他们偏爱热水?此处应填名词，prefer的名词形式为 preference，作宾语。故填preference。
【58题详解】
考查动名词。句意：在过去，当局建议喝开水来预防传染病，因为人们普遍认为这是一种杀死细菌的方法。suggest ding sth. 为常见搭配。故填 drinking。
【59题详解】
考查副词的用法。句意：在过去，当局建议喝开水来预防传染病，因为人们普遍认为这是一种杀死细菌的方法。本句话中缺少副词修饰 be cnsidered。故填 generally。
【60题详解】
考查谓语动词的被动语态。句意：即使是现在，学校、医院和火车站等公共场所也建议配备热水机。这里在描述一个客观事实，且句子主语equipping ht water dispensers 和谓语动词recmmend之间是被动关系，是一般现在时的被动语态，且此处是动名词作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填 is recmmended。

【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：最后，传统中医非常强调阴阳，热水被认为是阳，冷水被认为是阴。此处a cncept是先行词，表示抽象地点，在后面的句子中作地点状语，所以定语从句由关系副词where引导。即：在阴阳理论中，热水为阳，冷水为阴。故填 where。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意：人们相信，在寒冷的天气里，喝热水可以平衡体内的阴阳，从而使整体健康状况更好。根据句意“一般认为，饮用热水能让人体内的阴阳平衡，并且让人在寒冷的天气条件下保持健康。”可知,此处表示顺承关系，且不能使用定于从句引导词which。故填 and。
【65题详解】
考查词性转换。句意：所以下次你感冒的时候，你还会对中国朋友关于多喝热水的建议感到困惑吗?此处需要形容词来形容人的心情，作表语。故填 cnfused。

Having wrked at a small fd stre fr tw years, I thught I had becme successful at what ur manager called “custmer relatins”. I firmly believed that a friendly smile and an autmatic “sir”, “madam”, “thank yu” and “srry” wuld see me thrugh any situatin. But n a Christmas night an ld wman shk my belief that such a glib respnse (巧言应对) culd smth ver any difficulty while dealing with ther human beings.
The mment she entered the stre, the wman presented a sharp cntrast t ur shiny stre with its bright lighting and neatly arranged shelves. Walking as if each step were painful, she slwly pushed pen the glass dr. On such a zer-degree night, she was wearing nly a faded print dress, a thin sweater t small t buttn, and black slippers with the backs cut ut t expse heels. There were n stckings r scks n her blue-veined legs.
After walking arund the stre fr several minutes, the ld wman stpped in frnt f the rws f canned vegetables. She lked at the rw f cans, finally picked up a can f crn and stared at the label. At that pint, I decided t be a gd and plite emplyee and asked her if she needed help. As I std clse t her, my smile became harder t maintain. An unpleasant smell f sweat rse frm her trn clthing.
“I need sme fd,” she muttered in reply t my bright “Madam, can I help yu?”
“Are yu lking fr crn, madam?”
“I need sme fd,” she repeated, lking dwn at the can in her hand, “Any kind.”
“Well, the can f crn is ninety-five cents, madam.” I said in my mst helpful vice. “Or if yu like, we have a special n bread tday.”
After a shrt pause, she lifted her head and said, “But I can’t pay.”
Fr a secnd, it was n the tip f my tngue t tell her that she culd take the crn.

【答案】Pssible versin 1:
Then the emplyee rules flded int my mind: remain plite but d nt let the custmers get the best f yu. At the thught f that, I managed a friendly smile and autmatically blurted ut, “I’m srry, madam, but I can’t give away anything fr free.” Hearing this, the ld wman ndded her head, her face darkened and eyelids drpped. Unwillingly, she put the can back n the shelf, shuffled past me tward the dr and vanished int the distance. It was at that mment that a ripple f regret welled up inside me. Hw I wished I hadn’t said thse wrds! (81 wrds)
Mments after she left, I rushed ut f the dr with the can f crn. Frtunately, the gaunt figure f the ld wman was still in sight, s I went running up t her. “Madam, Merry Christmas!” said I, thrusting the can f crn int her hand. Fr a secnd, I culd feel that her hand quivered. Withut waiting fr her reply, I just waved her gdbye befre trtting straight away. Fr the rest f my shift, the image f the wman cnstantly reminded me that while dealing with ther human beings, it was sincere cncern rather than a glib respnse that culd smth ver any difficulty. (92 wrds)
Pssible versin 2:
Then the emplyee rules flded int my mind: remain plite, but d nt let custmers get the best f yu. Fr a mment, I even entertained the idea that this was sme srt f test, and that this wman was smene frm the head ffice, testing my lyalty. I respnded dutifully, “I’m srry, madam, but I can’t give away anything fr free.” The ld wman’s face cllapsed a bit mre and her hands trembled as she put the can back n the shelf. She shuffled past me tward the dr, her trn and dirty clthing barely cvering her bent back. (80 wrds)
Mments after she left, I rushed ut the dr with the can f crn. But she was nwhere in sight. While I was dragging myself back, what kept me cmpany was merely biting wind. Fr the rest f my shift, the image f the wman haunted me. I was s yung, healthy and smug while she was s ld, sick and desperate. Wishing with all my heart that I had acted like a human being rather than s merciless an emplyee, I was saddened t realize when facing dilemmas hw difficult it was fr a heart t stay gld. (85 wrds)
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一家小食品店工作了两年之后，在一个圣诞夜，一位老妇人动摇了作者的信念，让作者不相信这种油嘴滑舌的回应可以解决与他人打交道时的任何困难。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“然后，我的脑海中浮现出了员工守则：保持礼貌，但不要让顾客占你的便宜。”可知，第一段描写作者按照员工守则，拒绝提供免费的食物，老妇人失望地离开了，而作者感到了后悔。
②由第二段首句内容“她走后不久，我拿着玉米罐冲出了门。”可知，第二段可描写作者给老妇人送去玉米罐头，她很感激，而作者也感悟了在与他人打交道时，应是真诚的关心，而不是能化解任何困难的油嘴滑舌的回应。
2.续写线索：拒绝老妇人—后悔—追上老妇人—老妇人感激—获得感悟
