After decades f nutritinal studies and fd technlgy advancements, NASA has mved fcus away frm supplements and dietary frmulas （配方） tward prviding as many nutrients frm fruits and vegetables as pssible.

T achieve this, NASA scientists are studying the best ways t grw crps in micrgravity. On the Internatinal Space Statin, astrnauts have successfully grw n a variety f leafy greens and flwers in the Vegetable Prductin System, knwn as Veggie. Eating a fresh leafy green culd help astrnauts feel cnnected with the distant green planet they call hme.

⑤考查介词。最贫困地区的人们往往面临极端天气的最大风险。at risk"处于危险中",为固定短语,故填at。
⑥考查定语从句。他们可能生活在更容易受到洪水和干旱伤害的地方。这是一个限制性定语从句。先行词places指物,关系词在从句作主语,应用关系代词which或that引导从句,故填which或that。

45．答案： 我们的关系很亲密,我们是一样的人,所以我只需要几句话就能弥合我们之间的差距。
解析： 考查结果状语从句,不定式作目的状语。分析句子成分可知,本句为"s"引导的结果状语从句。主句为"and"连接的两个并列句,其中分句-的主语Our relatinship译为"我们的关系"；is clse为系表结构,译为"很亲密"；分句二的主语we译为"我们",are equals为系表结构,译为"是一样的人"。结果状语从句中,I nly need a few wrds为主谓宾结构,译为"我只需要几句话"；t bridge the gap为目的状语,译为"弥合差距"；between us为介词短语做后置定语译为"我们之间的"。故译为：我们的关系很亲密,我们是平等的,所以我只需要几句话就能弥合我们之间的差距。
46．答案： 欣赏本国文化遗产对于了解自己非常重要。

47．答案： At the beginning, written Chinese was a picture-based language.
解析： 考查时态、固定短语。表示"起初"用at the beginning,句首单词首字母大写。表示"书面文字"用written Chinese,作主语。本句描述过去的动作和状态,故时态用一般过去时,主语为第三人称单数,be动词用was。表示"一种象形文字"用a picture-based language,作表语。
48．答案： A cmmittee was established t limit damage t the buildings and prevent the lss f cultural relics.
解析： 考查短语、时态语态和不定式。"委员会"是a cmmittee,"成立"是establish,委员会是被成立,且是过去的事情,因此用一般过去时的被动语态,a cmmittee是单数,因此be动词用was,"旨在减少"用不定式表目的,是t limit,"对...的破坏"是damage t,"那些建筑物"是the buildings,"并"用and,"防止"是prevent,用不定式表目的,前面已经有t,因此prevent用原形,"文物损失"是the lss f cultural relics,因此整句话翻译为" A cmmittee was established t limit damage t the buildings and prevent the lss f cultural relics. "
