Engineers in Upstate New Yrk have invented a flded paper device that lks like a decrated ant prject. But dn’t be fled. This is actually a paper-based battery. N, it desn’t lk like any f thse metal batteries running flashlights r smartphnes. In these systems, the battery can be printed n a page. The battery’s pwer cnsists f living bacteria.
Paper electrnics are simple t make and inexpensive, ntes study leader Sekheun Chi, an engineer at Binghamtn University. They need n electrical utlet t recharge. They just need mre bacteria, which can be fund everywhere- including dirty water.
“Mst batteries use chemicals t generate electricity. Substituting bacteria can be an advantage,” Chi says. “They are cheap and self-repairing.” What paper—based batteries wn’t d is generate much pwer. They d, hwever, create enugh t run small devices in faraway r dangerus places—such as a battlefield. They might als find use in medicine. Fr instance, they might pwer tiny sensrs, such as the types used t measure bld sugar.
This inventin is based n an bservatin made mre than a century ag—that micrbes (微生物) prduce electricity as they digest fd. Scientists refer t the bi-batteries based n this principle as micrbial fuel cells. A fuel cell generates electricity like a regular battery. But a regular battery stps prducing electricity when its inner chemical reactins stp. A fuel cell uses fuel that can be refilled. In this case, bacteria serve as the fuel. By refilling mre micrbes, as needed, scientists can keep these fuel cells running.
Lab tests have shwn that the new battery can prduce a current. Nw, Chi and his team are lking at ways t increase the pwer. They’re studying different shapes and materials fr the ande and cathde (正负极). They’re als lking fr the best ways t cmbine batteries fr mre pwer. The beauty f the paper devices is that yu can simply fld them t cnnect them. And they surely will be a trend in the near future.
8. What makes the paper-based batteries different frm ther batteries?
A. They are mainly used t run smartphnes.B. They use bacteria t generate electricity.
C. They are used t decrate small devices.D. They take a much shrter time t recharge.
9. What can the paper-based batteries d?
A. Pwer tiny devices.B. Lwer bld sugar levels.
C. Prduce much electricity.D. Change chemicals in the paper.
10. What is the furth paragraph mainly abut?
A. The applicatin f the new battery.B. The characteristics f the paper batteries.
CThe intentin t invent the device.D. The wrking principle f the inventin.
11. What is the authr’s attitude twards the develpment f the paper-based batteries?
A. Defensive.B. Optimistic.C. Dubtful.D. Pessimistic.
D
Hw AI will transfrm educatin is very imprtant t schls such as mine, teachers such as me, and hardwrking care-givers such as the parents in my cmmunity. Culd AI get ur children t grasp new cncepts and skills? Might AI be better equipped t help them explit their wn intelligence? After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tls, I can tell yu the shrt answer is NO.
Human intelligence is different frm the cmputer’s. Fr ne, human intelligence can nt be measured. The brain is plastic, always develping and grwing as we learn frm ur envirnments. In additin, human intelligence relies n human interactin. Exercising ur intelligence is smething we d naturally as we cnnect with thers, cnsider the wrld arund us and seek t imprve ur relatinship t that wrld.
In educatin, there has been a mvement tward scial-emtinal and prblem-based learning. S educatrs attempt t mtivate interest in subjects and skills by turning learning mments int cmmunal (共有的) prblem-slving events. When we cmbine analytical learning with scial- emtinal learning, students becme mastered in the material we want them t knw and get mre excited abut the learning prcess.
Using AI lks very different frm this. AI learning ften invlves an individual wrking alne with a cmputer prgram. It can crwd surce infrmatin t help students find facts abut their envirnment, slve a prblem and cme up with a creative way frward. But AI desn’t frce students t think thrugh r keep anything. And simply being fed facts and infrmatin is nt the same as “learning”.
It is fascinating t imagine that AI might cure what annys us. Many parents dn’t have the resurces-in time, mney r energy—t teach their kids at hme. If AI culd fill the gaps, hw great, right? Yet the nature f AI “teaching” as it currently exists means that students merely level up withut learning. When it cmes t develping intelligence, nthing can beat what we humans have been ding, face t face, fr centuries.
12. What d we knw abut human intelligence accrding t paragraph 2?
A. It is measured easilyB. It is f great significance
C. It is related t educatinD. It is changeable and interactive
13. What can be inferred abut AI learning frm paragraph 4?
A. It is widely used at schl.
B. It makes n difference t educatin.
C. It helps develp students’ intelligence
D. It des little help with students’ true learning.
14. What is the authr’s attitude t AI learning?
A. UnclearB. NeutralC. DisapprvingD. Favrable
15. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Culd AI Really Teach Students
B. Shuld students Use AI Frequently
C. Hw Students Use AI in Their Study
D. Hw Teachers Interact with Students

Milk, after all, cntains many ther materials that cmpete t enter ur brain thrugh the bld. Thus, the sleep-prmting effect f milk is limited.
As fr the temperature f the milk, there aren’t any studies that suggest milk has t be warm fr any f its psychlgical r physical effects t kick in. ____20____ It can in turn help t relax the bdy.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了女儿忘记了妈妈的生日，妻子辗转难眠很伤心，作者给女儿发消息，女儿冒着严寒乘火车回来给妈妈补过生日，妻子很感动。作者又把这件事讲给自己的父母听，父母却反问作者又有多少次忘记父母的生日。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上一句“On that day, I came hme frm wrk, stpped her frm entering the kitchen and asked her t dine ut. “Has Lily called?” she asked. I shk my head.(那天，我下班回家，不让她进厨房，请她出去吃饭。“莉莉打电话来了吗?”她问道。我摇了摇头)”和下一句“My wife kept glancing at her phne, shwing n signs f appetite.(我妻子一直在看她的手机，没有任何食欲)”可知，妻子在生日那天，在等女儿的祝福电话，中午了女儿还没打电话，应该是忘记了妈妈的生日，妻子应该是心情不好，气氛比较沉闷。由此可知，划线词意为“沉闷的，沉重的”。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Early the next mrning, my wife gt up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We nly have ne child. When Lily still lived at hme, every year when her birthday apprached, we wuld start the grand preparatins days in advance. And after she left fr cllege, my wife wuld call her cuntless times frm mrning till night. Hw culd she ignre all ur lve and utterly frget her mum’s birthday?”(第二天一大早，我妻子起床了，黑眼圈围绕着她的眼睛。我们只有一个孩子。莉莉还在家里的时候，每年临近她的生日，我们都会提前几天开始隆重地准备。在她上大学后，我妻子从早到晚给她打了无数次电话。她怎么能无视我们所有的爱，完全忘记她妈妈的生日呢?)”可知，妻子在女儿生日时，打很多电话表示关心祝福，而女儿上大学后都不记得妈妈的生日，妻子是失落的，黑眼圈表明妻子的焦虑，晚上没睡好觉。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“‘Srry, Mum. Happy birthday!’ she said, tears welling up.(‘对不起,妈妈。生日快乐!’她说，眼泪涌了出来)”可知，女儿见到妈妈哭了是因为自己忘记妈妈的生日而感到抱歉和懊悔。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Later, I called my parents and tld them abut it. I never thught they wuld respnd with a lng silence, and then said: ‘Hw many times have yu frgtten ur birthdays? Has either f us ever cmplained?’(后来，我打电话给我的父母，告诉他们这件事。我从没想过他们会沉默很长时间，然后说:‘你多少次忘了我们的生日?我们俩谁抱怨过吗?’)”可知，作者把女儿忘记她妈妈的生日这事儿讲给父母听，而父母的回答表明作者也多次忘记父母的生日。父母的沉默和后面的回答表明父母也是期待作者对他们生日的重视。由此可知，父母传达的信息是爱是一条双行道，爱是相互的。故选A项。

Engineers in Upstate New Yrk have invented a flded paper device that lks like a decrated ant prject. But dn’t be fled. This is actually a paper-based battery. N, it desn’t lk like any f thse metal batteries running flashlights r smartphnes. In these systems, the battery can be printed n a page. The battery’s pwer cnsists f living bacteria.
Paper electrnics are simple t make and inexpensive, ntes study leader Sekheun Chi, an engineer at Binghamtn University. They need n electrical utlet t recharge. They just need mre bacteria, which can be fund everywhere- including dirty water.
“Mst batteries use chemicals t generate electricity. Substituting bacteria can be an advantage,” Chi says. “They are cheap and self-repairing.” What paper—based batteries wn’t d is generate much pwer. They d, hwever, create enugh t run small devices in faraway r dangerus places—such as a battlefield. They might als find use in medicine. Fr instance, they might pwer tiny sensrs, such as the types used t measure bld sugar.
This inventin is based n an bservatin made mre than a century ag—that micrbes (微生物) prduce electricity as they digest fd. Scientists refer t the bi-batteries based n this principle as micrbial fuel cells. A fuel cell generates electricity like a regular battery. But a regular battery stps prducing electricity when its inner chemical reactins stp. A fuel cell uses fuel that can be refilled. In this case, bacteria serve as the fuel. By refilling mre micrbes, as needed, scientists can keep these fuel cells running.
Lab tests have shwn that the new battery can prduce a current. Nw, Chi and his team are lking at ways t increase the pwer. They’re studying different shapes and materials fr the ande and cathde (正负极). They’re als lking fr the best ways t cmbine batteries fr mre pwer. The beauty f the paper devices is that yu can simply fld them t cnnect them. And they surely will be a trend in the near future.
8. What makes the paper-based batteries different frm ther batteries?
A. They are mainly used t run smartphnes.B. They use bacteria t generate electricity.
C. They are used t decrate small devices.D. They take a much shrter time t recharge.
9. What can the paper-based batteries d?
A. Pwer tiny devices.B. Lwer bld sugar levels.
C. Prduce much electricity.D. Change chemicals in the paper.
10. What is the furth paragraph mainly abut?
A. The applicatin f the new battery.B. The characteristics f the paper batteries.
C. The intentin t invent the device.D. The wrking principle f the inventin.
11. What is the authr’s attitude twards the develpment f the paper-based batteries?
A. Defensive.B. Optimistic.C. Dubtful.D. Pessimistic.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了工程师发明了一种纸质电池，介绍了其工作原理以及优势。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They need n electrical utlet t recharge. They just need mre bacteria, which can be fund everywhere- including dirty water.(它们不需要电源插座充电。它们只需要更多的细菌，而细菌无处不在——包括脏水)”可知，纸质电池与其他电池的不同在于它们利用细菌发电。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“What paper—based batteries wn’t d is generate much pwer. They d, hwever, create enugh t run small devices in faraway r dangerus places—such as a battlefield.(纸质电池不能产生太多的能量。然而，它们确实能制造出足够的能量来在遥远或危险的地方运行小型设备，比如战场)”可知，纸质电池能为微型设备供电。故选A。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“This inventin is based n an bservatin made mre than a century ag—that micrbes (微生物) prduce electricity as they digest fd.

Hw AI will transfrm educatin is very imprtant t schls such as mine, teachers such as me, and hardwrking care-givers such as the parents in my cmmunity. Culd AI get ur children t grasp new cncepts and skills? Might AI be better equipped t help them explit their wn intelligence? After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tls, I can tell yu the shrt answer is NO.
Human intelligence is different frm the cmputer’s. Fr ne, human intelligence can nt be measured. The brain is plastic, always develping and grwing as we learn frm ur envirnments. In additin, human intelligence relies n human interactin. Exercising ur intelligence is smething we d naturally as we cnnect with thers, cnsider the wrld arund us and seek t imprve ur relatinship t that wrld.
In educatin, there has been a mvement tward scial-emtinal and prblem-based learning. S educatrs attempt t mtivate interest in subjects and skills by turning learning mments int cmmunal (共有的) prblem-slving events. When we cmbine analytical learning with scial- emtinal learning, students becme mastered in the material we want them t knw and get mre excited abut the learning prcess.
Using AI lks very different frm this. AI learning ften invlves an individual wrking alne with a cmputer prgram. It can crwd surce infrmatin t help students find facts abut their envirnment, slve a prblem and cme up with a creative way frward. But AI desn’t frce students t think thrugh r keep anything. And simply being fed facts and infrmatin is nt the same as “learning”.
It is fascinating t imagine that AI might cure what annys us. Many parents dn’t have the resurces-in time, mney r energy—t teach their kids at hme. If AI culd fill the gaps, hw great, right? Yet the nature f AI “teaching” as it currently exists means that students merely level up withut learning. When it cmes t develping intelligence, nthing can beat what we humans have been ding, face t face, fr centuries.
12. What d we knw abut human intelligence accrding t paragraph 2?
A. It is measured easilyB. It is f great significance
C. It is related t educatinD. It is changeable and interactive
13. What can be inferred abut AI learning frm paragraph 4?
A. It is widely used at schl.
B. It makes n difference t educatin.
C. It helps develp students’ intelligence
D. It des little help with students’ true learning.
14. What is the authr’s attitude t AI learning?
A. UnclearB. NeutralC. DisapprvingD. Favrable
15. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
ACuld AI Really Teach Students
B. Shuld students Use AI Frequently
C. Hw Students Use AI in Their Study
D. Hw Teachers Interact with Students
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为议论文。通过观察孩子们使用基于人工智能的学习工具几天后，作者认为利用人工智能的学习，不是真正的学习模式，不利于学生开发智力，掌握新的概念和技能。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Fr ne, human intelligence can nt be measured. The brain is plastic, always develping and grwing as we learn frm ur envirnments. In additin, human intelligence relies n human interactin. (首先，人类的智力是无法测量的。大脑是可塑的，总是随着我们从环境中学习而发展和成长。此外，人类的智能依赖于人类的互动。)”可知，人类的智能因大脑的发展成长而一直在改变，同时也存在互动性。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“AI learning ften invlves an individual wrking alne with a cmputer prgram. It can crwd surce infrmatin t help students find facts abut their envirnment, slve a prblem and cme up with a creative way frward. But AI desn’t frce students t think thrugh r keep anything. And simply being fed facts and infrmatin is nt the same as ‘learning’. (人工智能学习通常需要一个人单独使用计算机程序。它可以集中资源信息，帮助学生找到有关环境的事实，解决问题，并提出创造性的前进道路。但人工智能不会强迫学生思考或保留任何东西。简单地接受事实和信息与‘学习’是不一样的。)”可知，人工智能学习的过程中，学生只是简单的接受事实和信息，没有思考或保留任何东西，并不是真正意义上的学习，所以对于学生的学习没什么帮助。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tls, I can tell yu the shrt answer is NO. (在观察了我的孩子们使用基于人工智能的学习工具几天后，我可以告诉你简短的答案是否定的。)”，以及最后一段“Many parents dn’t have the resurces—in time, mney r energy—t teach their kids at hme. If AI culd fill the gaps, hw great, right? Yet the nature f AI ‘teaching’ as it currently exists means that students merely level up withut learning. When it cmes t develping intelligence, nthing can beat what we humans have been ding, face t face, fr centuries. (许多父母没有足够的资源，无论是时间、金钱还是精力，在家教育孩子。如果人工智能能填补这些空白，那该有多好，对吧？然而，目前存在的人工智能‘教学’的本质意味着，学生只是在没有学习的情况下升级。说到发展智力，没有什么能比得上几个世纪以来我们人类面对面所做的事情。)”可知，作者认为发展只能还得靠人类面对面的教学，许多父母因没有足够的资源，无论是时间、金钱还是精力，在家教育孩子，而选择人工智能教孩子，其实人工智能并没有填补这些空白，故作者对人工智能是不赞同的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Hw AI will transfrm educatin is very imprtant t schls such as mine, teachers such as me, and hardwrking care-givers such as the parents in my cmmunity. Culd AI get ur children t grasp new cncepts and skills? Might AI be better equipped t help them explit their wn intelligence? After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tls, I can tell yu the shrt answer is NO. (人工智能将如何改变教育，对于像我这样的学校、像我这样的老师，以及像我所在社区的父母这样勤奋的照顾者来说，都是非常重要的。人工智能能让我们的孩子掌握新的概念和技能吗？人工智能是否能更好地帮助人类开发自己的智力？在观察了我的孩子们使用基于人工智能的学习工具几天后，我可以告诉你简短的答案是否定的。)”可知，作者列出多个问题，引出本文主题：人工智能能否教学生，Culd AI Really Teach Students，适合作标题，故选A项。
第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
When heading t bed, peple ften d sme things t prmte sleep, such as drinking a cup f warm milk. ____16____ The answer is varied.
“One reasn that warm milk makes peple sleepy is that it reminds yu f the persn wh was kind enugh t give it t yu when yu were yunger,” said psychlgist Michael. ____17____
On the mlecular level, the tryptphan (色氨酸) in milk has prperties which can prmte sleeping. ____18____ Our bdies use the tryptphan frm fd, alng with ther things, t prduce the brain chemical sertnin, which is transfrmed int melatnin, a hrmne that helps yu sleep.
____19____ That’s because the bdy transfrms it int hrmnes that enhance sleep. But in reality it wuld take a lt f tryptphan t make a persn feel sleepy. Even if a persn drinks that much milk, it’s unclear whether the high amunt f tryptphan wuld be enugh t make him r her feel sleepy. Milk, after all, cntains many ther materials that cmpete t enter ur brain thrugh the bld. Thus, the sleep-prmting effect f milk is limited.
As fr the temperature f the milk, there aren’t any studies that suggest milk has t be warm fr any f its psychlgical r physical effects t kick in. ____20____ It can in turn help t relax the bdy.
A. The calming assciatin may help t lwer pre-sleep anxiety.
B. In thery, taking fd rich in tryptphan can make us feel sleepy.
C. Relaxing befre ging t bed can help yu fall asleep.
D. Can the temperature f the milk accelerate the speed f ur sleeping?
E. The bdy cannt prduce tryptphan, s peple must get it frm the diet.
F. But the warmth f the milk may help raise ur internal bdy temperatures
G. But is there any scientific evidence that drinking warm milk will make yu sleepy?
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. E 19. B 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要对睡前喝热牛奶是否对睡眠有用进行了解释说明。
【16题详解】
下文“The answer is varied.(答案各不相同)”，下一段的““One reasn that warm milk makes peple sleepy is that it reminds yu f the persn wh was kind enugh t give it t yu when yu were yunger,” said psychlgist Michael.(心理学家迈克尔说：“温牛奶让人昏昏欲睡的一个原因是，它让你想起了年轻时给你喝温牛奶的人。”)”以及第三段“On the mlecular level, the tryptphan (色氨酸) in milk has prperties which can prmte sleeping.(在分子水平上，牛奶中的色氨酸具有促进睡眠的特性)”说明科学家研究了牛奶让人睡眠好的原因。根据空后的The answer可知，空处为一个疑问，该问题跟后文所提到的内容相关，也就是牛奶和睡眠的关系。G项为一个疑问句，“any scientific evidence”和下文中的“On the mlecular level”相呼应。而“warm milk will make yu sleepy”和前文“sme things t prmte sleep, such as drinking a cup f warm milk”相呼应，表明空处询问“有没有科学证据表明喝温牛奶会让你昏昏欲睡？”。故选G。
【17题详解】
上文““One reasn that warm milk makes peple sleepy is that it reminds yu f the persn wh was kind enugh t give it t yu when yu were yunger,” said psychlgist Michael. (心理学家迈克尔说：“温牛奶让人昏昏欲睡的一个原因是，它让你想起了年轻时给你喝温牛奶的人。”)”说明热牛奶让人想起曾经给自己温暖的人，使人内心感动，这种联系能减缓睡前焦虑。A项中的“The calming assciatin”对应前文的提到的“想起那个在你年轻时好心给你热牛奶的人”，这会产生令人镇静的作用，说明这种平静的联系可能有助于降低睡眠前的焦虑。故选A。
【18题详解】
下文“Our bdies use the tryptphan frm fd, alng with ther things, t prduce the brain chemical sertnin, which is transfrmed int melatnin, a hrmne that helps yu sleep.(我们的身体利用食物中的色氨酸和其他物质来产生大脑化学物质血清素，血清素被转化为褪黑激素，一种帮助睡眠的激素)”说明色氨酸是从食物以及其他物质中获取的，我们身体本身不具有色氨酸。E项中的“peple must get it frm the diet”和下文中的“the tryptphan frm fd, alng with ther things”相呼应，表明人体不能产生色氨酸，所以人们必须从饮食中获取色氨酸。故选E。
【19题详解】
下文“That’s because the bdy transfrms it int hrmnes that enhance sleep. But in reality, it wuld take a lt f tryptphan t make a persn feel sleepy.(这是因为身体将其转化为激素，从而增强睡眠。但事实上，要想让人感到困倦，需要大量的色氨酸)”说明本段从理论和实际两个方面去论述到底色氨酸是否具有助眠的作用。空处引出理论方面的说明，B项“理论上，摄入富含色氨酸的食物会让我们感到困倦。”符合语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
上文“As fr the temperature f the milk, there aren’t any studies that suggest milk has t be warm fr any f its psychlgical r physical effects t kick in.(至于牛奶的温度，没有任何研究表明牛奶必须是温热的才能产生任何心理或身体影响)”以及下文“It can in turn help t relax the bdy.(它反过来可以帮助放松身体)”说明牛奶的温度可能也是一个影响助眠效果的因素。空处承上启下，F项中的“the warmth f the milk”对应上文“the temperature f the milk”，而“raise ur internal bdy temperatures”为下文中it所指代的内容，说明牛奶的温暖可能有助于提高我们体内的温度。故选F。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。世界卫生组织发布的一份报告显示，超过80%的城市居民暴露在不安全的空气中。报告还敦促地方政府采取更有力和有效的措施对抗空气污染。
【36题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：世界卫生组织发布的一份报告显示，超过80%的城市居民暴露在不安全的空气中。本句在陈述事实，所以为一般现在时，主语Mre than 80% f peple与谓语expse为被动关系，所以本句为一般现在时的被动语态。故填are expsed。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：世界卫生组织发布的一份报告显示，超过80%的城市居民暴露在不安全的空气中。结合上题分析，本句已经有谓语，空处填非谓语，a reprt 与deliver在逻辑上是被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填delivered。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：世界卫生组织公共卫生和环境政策主任玛丽亚·内拉博士说:“城市空气污染继续以惊人的速度增长，严重危害了人类健康。rate为可数名词，本句表示泛指“以一种惊人的速度增长”，alarming首字母的发音为元音音素。故填an。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：与此同时，人们的意识也在提高，越来越多的城市开始监控自己的空气质量。空处填名词awareness作主语，不可数名词。故填awareness。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意：在过去两年里，监测空气污染的城市数量翻了一番，现在覆盖了103个国家的约3000个城市。根据“In the past tw years”可知。本句为现在完成时，the number f cities作主语，谓语动词为单数第三人称。故填has dubled。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：世界卫生组织警告称，糟糕的空气质量可能会对城市居民的健康造成严重影响，并将其与中风、心脏病、肺癌和许多其他疾病的风险联系起来。have effects n“对…...有影响”为固定短语。故填n。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：世界卫生组织警告称，糟糕的空气质量可能会对城市居民的健康造成严重影响，并将其与中风、心脏病、肺癌和许多其他疾病的风险联系起来。本句已经有谓语动词，空处填非谓动词，与前面逻辑主语the serius effects在逻辑上是主动关系，所以用现在分词。故填linking。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：报告还显示，中低收入国家的空气质量普遍较差。副词generally修饰动词have。故填generally。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：收入和中等收入国家人口在10万或以上的城市中，约98%的城市不符合世卫组织的空气质量准则，而高收入国家中有56%的城市不符合标准。根据句意可知，前后句子表示对比关系，连词应为while。故填while。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：该报告还敦促地方政府采取更有力和有效的措施对抗空气污染。形容词effective修饰名词measures。故填effective。

51. We made a careful __________ (analyse) f his character. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】analysis
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：我们仔细分析了他的性格。根据空前的形容词careful可知，空处需要名词。analyse为动词，其名词形式为analysis“分析”。根据空前的a可知，空处需要该名词的单数形式。故填analysis。

53. ______(equip)with an intelligent cmputer brain, a rbt can give us infrmatin such as the weather cnditins within secnds. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Equipped
【解析】

54. The new technlgy has been used t __________ (identity) the sex f unbrn children. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】identify

56. 这是第一次在无锡举行这个会议。(It was the first time…)(汉译英)
【答案】It was the first time that the meeting had been held in Wuxi.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型，时态和固定短语。根据提示，本题用固定句型It was the first time that sb. had dne表示“某人第一次做了某事”，主句用一般过去时，that引导的从句应用过去完成时，“会议”可用the meeting，表示特指，作从句主语，“举行”可用hld表达，作从句谓语，与主语meeting是被动关系，用用过去完成时的被动语态，“在无锡”可译为in Wuxi。故翻译为It was the first time that the meeting had been held in Wuxi.
57. 据报道，余华的最新小说已经被翻译成很多国家的语言。(be reprted t)(汉译英)
【答案】Yu Hua’s latest nvel is reprted t have been translated int many languages.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。sth./sb. is reprted t d意为“据报道某人/某事……”。余华的最新小说可以翻译为“Yu Hua’s latest nvel”，根据句意可知，余华的小说已经被翻译成了许多国家的语言，“被翻译成”需要用动词不定式完成式的被动。其结构为t have been dne。“被翻译成”可翻译为“t have been translated int”；许多国家的语言可翻译为“ many languages”。故翻译为Yu Hua’s latest nvel is reprted t have been translated int many languages.
58. 对别人的相貌品头论足是不礼貌的。(remark)(汉译英)
【答案】It’s bad manners t remark n/ make remarks n the appearance f thers.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。It is bad maners t d sth.“做某事是没有礼貌的”，其中it为形式主语，真正的主语为动词不定式；品头论足可用动词短语“remark n”或者“make remarks n ”；别人的相貌可以翻译为“the appearance f thers”。故翻译为It’s bad manners t remark n/ make remarks n the appearance f thers。
59. David是正致力于制造出更好的假肢的科学家之一。(be cmmitted t) (汉译英)
【答案】David is ne f the scientists wh are cmmitted t making better artificial limbs.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句、时态和非谓语动词。主语David是单数，句子在描述当前的情况，时态应用一般现在时，系动词“是”应用is，表语“科学家之一”应译为名词短语ne f the scientists；“正致力于制造出更好的假肢的”可用指人的关系代词wh (替代先行词在从句中作主语)引导限制性定语从句修饰先行词scientists，先行词为复数，在从句中作主语，“致力于”可译为固定短语be cmmitted t，此处也是描述当前的情况，时态应用一般现在时，be动词应用are，“制造出更好的假肢”可译为动词短语make better artificial limbs，且因为作介词t的宾语，make需用动名词形式。故译为：David is ne f the scientists wh are cmmitted t making better artificial limbs.
60. 不可否认的是，养成一种良好的学习习惯对于我们来说是很重要的。(deny)(汉译英)
【答案】There is n denying that it’s very imprtant fr us t frm a gd habit f study.
