Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting a group of nature lovers who are fighting climate change. The leader of the group, John, took a few minutes to sit down and talk to me about their projects. John told me that he started the group with his wife Eliza. A year later they had grown to 10 people and now, four years later, they have 50 volunteers. John said that they planted around 100 trees last week alone. Their group focuses on fixing the places where trees have been cut down by people. John stressed that humans need the trees as much as the animals do and that people tend to forget that trees aren't just materials to sell for profit. We also need them to breathe. I was able to hear more about Eliza, who has actually stopped doing the planting with them for the past year. Eliza still travels with them, but she's started a separate group called “The Knowing Tree”. John described the group as one to inform children about the importance of keeping our natural world in a good condition. It's truly inspiring.
18．What is the goal of John's group
A．To plant trees for materials.
B.To repair damaged forests.
C.To attract more animals.
答案：B
19．What does “The Knowing Tree” focus on
A．Educating children.
B.Gathering donations.
C.Attracting more volunteers.

For years, I was in the__rat__race,__my sense of wonder lost. Gardening was my antidote (解毒药). It gave me time to stop, listen and absorb all the little details that nature has to offer—nurturing the earth, plants and myself to fight against the aggression and tiredness of everyday working life.
I quit my job and had a vision for my company. I wanted others to find the comfort that my garden gave me. Now, I watch my clients experience their own transformations. A corner that was once an unwelcoming place of weeds is a child's play area; a lonely person has an inspiring, evolving view.
Gardening requires us to be present in the moment, while also imagining the future. You may see a beautiful flower and be surprised for a minute at the magic of nature. Some flowers last for a day, others for a season. Some come back year after year. Seasons pass and you become connected to the changes in life in a deeper, more spiritual way. This builds acceptance.
Where there once may have been beauty, there might now be an empty space and a deep sense of sadness ... But gardening brings hope—we can create something beautiful again and that space will no longer be bare.
Hope is one of many emotions stirred by gardening. Whether you're growing vegetables to eat, planting tiny seeds or tending flowers, there is always a great sense of satisfaction at the end of a session. How you choose to garden is deeply personal to you—it's about creating something fruitful, alone or with others.
The key is to have a vision, ideas and bright hopes for the future.

Do you remember that story about the little girl who goes to visit her grandmother and meets a big, bad wolf along the way Or perhaps you remember the story of the three little pigs who build three houses to protect themselves from a wolf
The reality behind the fairy tales is that people feared wolves. Hunting and killing originating from hatred almost caused the animals to go extinct. Wolves needed a fairy godmother—and that is what Brookfield Zoo in Chicago is for wolves and their puppies.
Being a fairy godmother to wolves is not easy. Brookfield Zoo replaced iron barred cubicles with safe habitats, which are not merely appealing to the zoo visitor, but more importantly, are contributing to the normal behavior and reproduction of the animals. The wolves have a large area to run and play in, places to hide and sleep in, and hills to climb with lots of grass and trees around them.
A fairy godmother's job is to make dreams magically come true and part of the magic is being invisible. The people who take care of the wolves hide themselves and the food and toys in places where the wolves can dig them up and find them on their own, so they feel more like they are living in nature.
Fairy tales are just stories. Wolves don't dress up as grandmothers, nor have they blown a house down. Wolves aren't scary at all, and in fact, they are more afraid of humans than we are of them.
The wolves have a great life at Brookfield Zoo. Maybe they will stay at Brookfield Zoo, but it would be nice to see them live back in nature again, too. If we all work together, maybe we can make this fairy tale come true for the wolves.

Spending time outdoors, especially in green space, is an effective way to improve your health and happiness. It's been shown to lower stress, blood pressure and heart rate while encouraging physical activity and improving mood and mental health.
A study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research adds to the evidence and shows how little time it takes to get the benefits of being in the park. Spending just 30 minutes in a park—even if you don't exercise while you're there—is enough to improve well being, according to the research.
For the study, researchers surveyed 94 adults who visited one of three urban parks, over the summer and fall. They were given fitness trackers to measure physical activity but were not told what to do in the park or how long to stay. Each person also answered questions about their life satisfaction and mood—which were used to calculate the score of subjective well being before and after their park visit. The average park visit lasted 32 minutes and well being scores rose during the park visit in 90% of people. “People may go to the park and just enjoy nature. They relax and reduce stress, and then feel happier.” study co author Hon Yuen says.
It is for all of these reasons that the medical community is increasingly viewing green space as a great place where their patients can obtain physical and mental health benefits. Some physicians, like Robert Zarr, are even writing prescriptions for it. By writing nature prescriptions—alongside medical prescriptions, when necessary—physicians are encouraging their patients to go outdoors and take advantage of what many view to be free medicine. He said, “It's about making a positive choice in their life rather than a discouraging choice like they're sick; take a pill. It just seems so much more supportive.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了户外活动可以给人们带来的各种好处。
32．What can we learn from the study
A．Park visit increases our life satisfaction.
B．The length of park visit affects our health.
C．Outdoor activity improves our blood pressure.
D．Physical activity increases our mental health.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Each person also answered questions ... in 90% of people.”可知，逛公园提高了人们的生活满意度。故选A。
33．Which word best describes Hon Yuen's attitude to park visit
A．Supportive. B．Conservative.
C．Uncaring. D．Tolerant.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“‘People may go to the park ... study co author Hon Yuen says.”可推知，Hon Yuen 认同逛公园可以带来益处，使人们感觉更幸福。故选A。
34．Why do some physicians write nature prescriptions
A．To force patients to make a choice.
B．To make patients free from medicine.
C．To encourage patients to see physicians.
D．To benefit patients physically and mentally.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句及第三句可推知，医生给病人开一些自然处方，是为了让病人改善自身的身体和精神状态。故选D。
35．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Outdoor Satisfaction B．Outdoor Benefits
C．Park Visit for Fun D．Love for Parks
答案：B
解析：标题判断题。文章第一段第一句“Spending time outdoors ... your health and happiness.”表明主旨，紧接着后文进行论证。由此可知，文章主要论述了户外活动可以给人们带来的各种好处。故选B。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Move towards nature when feeling down. Miracles do happen if you try. According to studies, walking among trees makes us relaxed. __36__ There's plenty of research showing the link between being in nature and being happy, but most of the research has focused on adults.
__37__ Explaining the motivation behind the study, researchers note that with environmental issues such as global warming, more studies are focusing on the relationships between humans and nature to find solutions to these problems, and the future of the planet lies in the hands of children and their actions. However, few studies focus on this aspect.
For the study, researchers worked with 206 children between the ages of 5 and 15. To measure how connected they were to nature, the kids were asked how much they enjoy activities like seeing wildflowers and wild animals, hearing sounds of nature and touching animals and plants. __38__ They also found that the more concerned children were about the environment and nature, the more likely they were to be happy.
So, exposure to nature is related to active behaviors and happiness of children. What does that mean to adults As we all know, children usually tend to follow adults', especially their parents' behaviors. That's to say, when adults are outside and appreciate nature, kids learn by example. __39__
Researchers say that children need role models who can gently guide them to nature with excitement and an attitude of a lifelong learner. __40__ What's more important is that they spend time together with children by exploring a fun and safe environment.
A．It's so adventurous going for a walk around trees.
B．Researchers will study more about the connection between children's performance and nature.
C．And if parents enjoy being close to nature, so will their children.
D．Parents don't have to be experts in environmental science or nature studies.
E．They found that the kids connected to nature were more likely to behave properly.
F．In a new study, researchers wanted to see if kids get the same benefits from being outdoors.
G．Even just smelling the trees helps reduce anxiety.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了接近自然对孩子成长的重要性。
36．答案：G
解析：根据上文“According to studies, walking among trees makes us relaxed.(根据研究，在树林中散步能使我们放松。)”可知，本句与上文构成递进关系，设空处应说明在树林中散步怎样使我们放松。G项(即使只是闻一下树木的气味也有助于减轻焦虑。)符合语境。故选G。
37．答案：F
解析：根据第一段中的“but most of the research has focused on adults”可知，下文研究对象转向儿童群体。根据第二段内容可知，该段都在讲研究孩子们行为的意义。F项(在一项新的研究中，研究人员想看看孩子们是否从户外活动中得到同样的好处。)引出下文。故选F。
38．答案：E
解析：根据下文“They also found that ... they were to be happy.”可知，设空处应与下文构成递进关系，都是在说明研究人员的发现，E项(他们发现亲近自然的孩子更有可能行为得体。)符合语境。故选E。
39．答案：C
解析：根据上文“That's to say, when adults are outside and appreciate nature, kids learn by example.(也就是说，当成年人在户外欣赏大自然时，孩子们会学他们。)”可知，上文与其前后两句都在讲父母对孩子的影响。C项(如果父母喜欢亲近大自然，他们的孩子也会喜欢。)符合语境。故选C。
40．答案：D
解析：根据上文“Researchers say that ... and an attitude of a lifelong learner.”和下文“What's more important ... and safe environment.”可知，D项(父母不必成为环境科学和自然研究方面的专家。)承上启下。故选D。

The term “third culture kid” __57__ (use) in the 1960s for the first time by Dr Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon while __58__ (research) North American children living in India.

56．______　57.______　58.______　59.______
60．______　61.______　62.______　63.______
64．______　65.______
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“第三文化孩子”这一概念，以及这种跨文化经历给孩子带来的优势和弊端。
56.答案：totally
解析：考查词性转换。此处应用副词修饰形容词different。故填totally。
57．答案：was used
解析：考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据in the 1960s可知，句子描述的是过去发生的事，应用一般过去时，句中The term “third culture kid”和use之间为被动关系，句子主语The term “third culture kid”为单数。故填was used。
58．答案：researching
解析：考查省略句型。设空处为while引导的时间状语从句，从句主语和主句主语一致，且从句谓语中包含be动词，因此省略从句中的主语和be动词，还原之后的句子为“while she was researching North American children living in India”。故填researching。
59．答案：from
解析：考查介词。benefit from意为“从……中获益”，句中指“从跨文化经历中受益”。故填from。
60．答案：difficulties
解析：考查名词。根据many可知，此处应用可数名词复数。故填difficulties。
61．答案：themselves
解析：考查代词。adapt oneself to ...意为“使自己适应或习惯于……”，they的反身代词为themselves。故填themselves。
62．答案：to develop
解析：考查非谓语动词。find it hard to do sth意为“发现做某事很难”，it为形式宾语，动词不定式作真正的宾语。故填to develop。
63．答案：easier
解析：考查形容词的比较级。根据than可知，句中把“移居到一个新的国家”和“回到自己的祖国”进行对比，设空处应用比较级。故填easier。
64．答案：where
解析：考查定语从句的引导词。此处引导定语从句，先行词为country，在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导。故填where。
65．答案：or
解析：考查连词。根据句中didn't可知，句子为否定句，句中TV shows和fashion trends为并列关系，否定句中应用连词or连接并列成分。故填or。

Jack and his wife Tonya were sailing around Africa with their friends Max and Sasha. One day they saw a big fishing boat. It was moving fast.
“Hello！” they shouted. The men on the boat looked at them angrily. Max looked carefully at the boat.
“Something's wrong with their fishing net，” he said. They got nearer to the net.
“What's that？” said Tonya. “There is something in the net. It's alive.”
Very slowly they moved nearer.
“I can see it now，” said Tonya. “It's a killer whale—it's hurt. There's blood in the water. How can we help it？”
“I can see it too. It's a baby but we must be careful，” said Max.
Jack jumped into the water, “I can get the net off its fin (鳍)，” he said.
Jack got the net off the baby killer whale. There was a big cut on its fin. It swam away. Suddenly there were other killer whales near the boat.
“Jack！” Tonya shouted. “Get in quickly.” Jack swam to the boat as fast as a fish. “That baby killer whale ... I am going to call it Lucky，” he said.
As they moved away, it began to rain harder and harder.
Jack said, “We must get away from the wind. I can see a town over there. Let's go.”
The town got nearer but the waves got bigger. Suddenly a very big wave hit the boat.
“Is everyone OK？” shouted Jack.
“Tonya ... She's not in the boat，” said Sasha. “She's in the water.”
They looked into the cold, dark water for hours. “Tonya! Say something, Tonya. Where are you？” shouted Max.
The wind got stronger and the boat was full of water. Another big wave hit the boat.
“Jack, do you want us all to die？” said Max. “We can't do any more. Tonya is wearing a life jacket (救生衣) and she can swim very well. Let's sail to the town.”
Moments later the boat hit a beach. They went out. Max and Sasha slept on the beach. Jack sat near the water, looking at the sea and thinking about Tonya.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
At that time, Tonya was five hundred metres away out in the sea.

写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。Jack (杰克)和妻子 Tonya(汤娅)在与朋友一起乘船环游非洲时冒险救下了一头虎鲸，这时突然下起雨来，风越来越大，他们的小船被海浪击中，Tonya掉进水中不见了。Tonya被海浪越推越远，接下来会发生什么？这种情况下会有奇迹发生吗？
[精彩范文]
At that time, Tonya was five hundred metres away out in the sea. A big wave came and crashed onto her, swallowing her. She struggled to come up from under the water, only to find her lifejacket gone. “Help! Anyone help！” She shouted at the top of her voice but heard nothing in response except the roaring waves. All of a sudden, she caught sight of a giant dark fish－like creature moving swiftly towards her. “A shark！” Tonya froze. “I will be killed！” The next moment, another giant wave hit her unconscious.
Jack was walking along the beach and suddenly he spotted something like a tiny boat moving towards the beach. “Maybe someone has picked up Tonya！” He was expecting a miracle to fall upon Tonya. “Oh, no, it isn't a boat. It is Lucky—the injured killer whale we have rescued！” “Why is it here？” Before Jack figured out what was happening, another killer whale came out of nowhere, holding up a person high in the air! “It's Tonya！”

Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting a group of nature lovers who are fighting climate change. The leader of the group, John, took a few minutes to sit down and talk to me about their projects. John told me that he started the group with his wife Eliza. A year later they had grown to 10 people and now, four years later, they have 50 volunteers. John said that they planted around 100 trees last week alone. Their group focuses on fixing the places where trees have been cut down by people. John stressed that humans need the
trees as much as the animals do and that people tend to forget that trees aren't just materials to sell for profit. We also need them to breathe. I was able to hear more about Eliza, who has actually stopped doing the planting with them for the past year. Eliza still travels with them, but she's started a separate group called “The Knowing Tree”. John described the group as one to inform children about the importance of keeping our natural world in a good condition. It's truly inspiring.
18．What is the goal of John's group
A．To plant trees for materials. B.To repair damaged forests.
C.To attract more animals.
19．What does “The Knowing Tree” focus on
A．Educating children.
B.Gathering donations.
C.Attracting more volunteers.
20．What is the main topic of the talk
A．Traveling for school projects.
B.Protecting the environment.
C．Starting a business.

For years, I was in the rat race, my sense of wonder lost. Gardening was my antidote (解毒药). It gave me time to stop, listen and absorb all the little details that nature has to offer—nurturing the earth, plants and myself to fight against the aggression and tiredness of everyday working life.
I quit my job and had a vision for my company. I wanted others to find the comfort that my garden gave me. Now, I watch my clients experience their own transformations. A corner that was once an unwelcoming place of weeds is a child's play area; a lonely person has an inspiring, evolving view.
Gardening requires us to be present in the moment, while also imagining the future. You may see a beautiful flower and be surprised for a minute at the magic of nature. Some flowers last for a day, others for a season. Some come back year after year. Seasons pass and you become connected to the changes in life in a deeper, more spiritual way. This builds acceptance.
Where there once may have been beauty, there might now be an empty space and a deep sense of sadness ... But gardening brings hope—we can create something beautiful again and that space will no longer be bare.
Hope is one of many emotions stirred by gardening. Whether you're growing vegetables to eat, planting tiny seeds or tending flowers, there is always a great sense of satisfaction at the end of a session. How you choose to garden is deeply personal to you—it's about creating something fruitful, alone or with others.
The key is to have a vision, ideas and bright hopes for the future.

Do you remember that story about the little girl who goes to visit her grandmother and meets a big, bad wolf along the way Or perhaps you remember the story of the three little pigs who build three houses to protect themselves from a wolf
The reality behind the fairy tales is that people feared wolves. Hunting and killing originating from hatred almost caused the animals to go extinct. Wolves needed a fairy godmother—and that is what Brookfield Zoo in Chicago is for wolves and their puppies.
Being a fairy godmother to wolves is not easy. Brookfield Zoo replaced iron barred cubicles with safe habitats, which are not merely appealing to the zoo visitor, but more importantly, are contributing to the normal behavior and reproduction of the animals. The wolves have a large area to run and play in, places to hide and sleep in, and hills to climb with lots of grass and trees around them.
A fairy godmother's job is to make dreams magically come true and part of the magic is being invisible. The people who take care of the wolves hide themselves and the food and toys in places where the wolves can dig them up and find them on their own, so they feel more like they are living in nature.
Fairy tales are just stories. Wolves don't dress up as grandmothers, nor have they blown a house down. Wolves aren't scary at all, and in fact, they are more afraid of humans than we are of them.
The wolves have a great life at Brookfield Zoo. Maybe they will stay at Brookfield Zoo, but it would be nice to see them live back in nature again, too. If we all work together, maybe we can make this fairy tale come true for the wolves.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了芝加哥Brookfield Zoo (布鲁克菲尔德动物园)用安全的栖息地取代了铁栏杆的小隔间，使生活在这里的狼更加自然，也更加安全。
28．What are the two stories used to show
A．Wolves are dangerous to humans.
B．People's false impression of wolves.
C．The important role of Brookfield Zoo.
D．Wolves are a popular subject of literature.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段以及第二段中的“The reality behind the fairy tales ... to go extinct.”可推知，这两个故事用来表明人们对狼的错误印象。故选B。
29．Which word can best describe the area for wolves at Brookfield Zoo
A．Visitor interactive. B．Mountainous.
C．Remote. D．Natural looking.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Brookfield Zoo replaced iron barred ... grass and trees around them.”以及第四段中的“The people who ... living in nature.”可推知，Brookfield Zoo用安全的栖息地代替原来的铁栅栏隔间，有助于动物的正常行为和繁殖，狼有更大的活动空间。照顾狼的人把食物和玩具隐藏起来，让它们自己发现，这使得这里的狼体验到更接近自然。故选D。
30．What's unique about the people looking after the wolves at Brookfield Zoo
A．They are wolf researchers.
B．They are welcomed by the wolves.
C．They play hide and seek with the wolves.
D．They keep themselves out of the wolves' sight.
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“The people who take care of the wolves hide themselves”可知，在Brookfield Zoo照顾狼的人的不同之处在于饲养员通过隐藏自己，避免出现在狼的视线中。故选D。
31．What is the best title for the text
A．What fairy tales tell us
B．Where wolves can be safe

Spending time outdoors, especially in green space, is an effective way to improve your health and happiness. It's been shown to lower stress, blood pressure and heart rate while encouraging physical activity and improving mood and mental health.
A study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research adds to the evidence and shows how little time it takes to get the benefits of being in the park. Spending just 30 minutes in a park—even if you don't exercise while you're there—is enough to improve well being, according to the research.
For the study, researchers surveyed 94 adults who visited one of three urban parks, over the summer and fall. They were given fitness trackers to measure physical activity but were not told what to do in the park or how long to stay. Each person also answered questions about their life satisfaction and mood—which were used to calculate the score of subjective well being before and after their park visit. The average park visit lasted 32 minutes and well being scores rose during the park visit in 90% of people. “People may go to the park and just enjoy nature. They relax and reduce stress, and then feel happier.” study co author Hon Yuen says.
It is for all of these reasons that the medical community is increasingly viewing green space as a great place where their patients can obtain physical and mental health benefits. Some physicians, like Robert Zarr, are even writing prescriptions for it. By writing nature prescriptions—alongside medical prescriptions, when necessary—physicians are encouraging their patients to go outdoors and take advantage of what many view to be free medicine. He said, “It's about making a positive choice in their life rather than a discouraging choice like they're sick; take a pill. It just seems so much more supportive.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了户外活动可以给人们带来的各种好处。

第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Move towards nature when feeling down. Miracles do happen if you try. According to studies, walking among trees makes us relaxed. __36__ There's plenty of research showing the link between being in nature and being happy, but most of the research has focused on adults.
__37__ Explaining the motivation behind the study, researchers note that with environmental issues such as global warming, more studies are focusing on the relationships between humans and nature to find solutions to these problems, and the future of the planet lies in the hands of children and their actions. However, few studies focus on this aspect.
For the study, researchers worked with 206 children between the ages of 5 and 15. To measure how connected they were to nature, the kids were asked how much they enjoy activities like seeing wildflowers and wild animals, hearing sounds of nature and touching animals and plants. __38__ They also found that the more concerned children were about the environment and nature, the more likely they were to be happy.
So, exposure to nature is related to active behaviors and happiness of children. What does that mean to adults As we all know, children usually tend to follow adults', especially their parents' behaviors. That's to say, when adults are outside and appreciate nature, kids learn by example. __39__
Researchers say that children need role models who can gently guide them to nature with excitement and an attitude of a lifelong learner. __40__ What's more important is that they spend time together with children by exploring a fun and safe environment.
A．It's so adventurous going for a walk around trees.
B．Researchers will study more about the connection between children's performance and nature.
C．And if parents enjoy being close to nature, so will their children.
D．Parents don't have to be experts in environmental science or nature studies.
E．They found that the kids connected to nature were more likely to behave properly.
F．In a new study, researchers wanted to see if kids get the same benefits from being outdoors.
G．Even just smelling the trees helps reduce anxiety.

38．答案：E
解析：根据下文“They also found that ... they were to be happy.”可知，设空处应与下文构成递进关系，都是在说明研究人员的发现，E项(他们发现亲近自然的孩子更有可能行为得体。)符合语境。故选E。
39．答案：C
解析：根据上文“That's to say, when adults are outside and appreciate nature, kids learn by example.(也就是说，当成年人在户外欣赏大自然时，孩子们会学他们。)”可知，上文与其前后两句都在讲父母对孩子的影响。C项(如果父母喜欢亲近大自然，他们的孩子也会喜欢。)符合语境。故选C。
40．答案：D

56.__________　57.________　58.________　59.________　60.________　
61.__________　62.________　63.________　64.________　65.________
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“第三文化孩子”这一概念，以及这种跨文化经历给孩子带来的优势和弊端。
56.答案：totally
解析：考查词性转换。此处应用副词修饰形容词different。故填totally。
57．答案：was used
解析：考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据in the 1960s可知，句子描述的是过去发生的事，应用一般过去时，句中The term “third culture kid”和use之间为被动关系，句子主语The term “third culture kid”为单数。故填was used。
58．答案：researching
解析：考查省略句型。设空处为while引导的时间状语从句，从句主语和主句主语一致，且从句谓语中包含be动词，因此省略从句中的主语和be动词，还原之后的句子为“while she was researching North American children living in India”。故填researching。

60．答案：difficulties
解析：考查名词。根据many可知，此处应用可数名词复数。故填difficulties。
61．答案：themselves
解析：考查代词。adapt oneself to ...意为“使自己适应或习惯于……”，they的反身代词为themselves。故填themselves。
62．答案：to develop
解析：考查非谓语动词。find it hard to do sth意为“发现做某事很难”，it为形式宾语，动词不定式作真正的宾语。故填to develop。
63．答案：easier
解析：考查形容词的比较级。根据than可知，句中把“移居到一个新的国家”和“回到自己的祖国”进行对比，设空处应用比较级。故填easier。
64．答案：where
解析：考查定语从句的引导词。此处引导定语从句，先行词为country，在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导。故填where。
65．答案：or
解析：考查连词。根据句中didn't可知，句子为否定句，句中TV shows和fashion trends为并列关系，否定句中应用连词or连接并列成分。故填or。

Jack and his wife Tonya were sailing around Africa with their friends Max and Sasha. One day they saw a big fishing boat. It was moving fast.
“Hello！” they shouted. The men on the boat looked at them angrily. Max looked carefully at the boat.
“Something's wrong with their fishing net，” he said. They got nearer to the net.
“What's that？” said Tonya. “There is something in the net. It's alive.”
Very slowly they moved nearer.
“I can see it now，” said Tonya. “It's a killer whale—it's hurt. There's blood in the water. How can we help it？”
“I can see it too. It's a baby but we must be careful，” said Max.
Jack jumped into the water, “I can get the net off its fin (鳍)，” he said.
Jack got the net off the baby killer whale. There was a big cut on its fin. It swam away. Suddenly there were other killer whales near the boat.
“Jack！” Tonya shouted. “Get in quickly.” Jack swam to the boat as fast as a fish. “That baby killer whale ... I am going to call it Lucky，” he said.
As they moved away, it began to rain harder and harder.
Jack said, “We must get away from the wind. I can see a town over there. Let's go.”
The town got nearer but the waves got bigger. Suddenly a very big wave hit the boat.
“Is everyone OK？” shouted Jack.
“Tonya ... She’s not in the boat，” said Sasha. “She’s in the water.”
They looked into the cold, dark water for hours. “Tonya! Say something, Tonya. Where are you？” shouted Max.
The wind got stronger and the boat was full of water. Another big wave hit the boat.
“Jack, do you want us all to die？” said Max. “We can't do any more. Tonya is wearing a life jacket (救生衣) and she can swim very well. Let's sail to the town.”
Moments later the boat hit a beach. They went out. Max and Sasha slept on the beach. Jack sat near the water, looking at the sea and thinking about Tonya.
At that time, Tonya was five hundred metres away out in the sea.﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍

[精彩范文]
At that time, Tonya was five hundred metres away out in the sea. A big wave came and crashed onto her, swallowing her. She struggled to come up from under the water, only to find her lifejacket gone. “Help! Anyone help！” She shouted at the top of her voice but heard nothing in response except the roaring waves. All of a sudden, she caught sight of a giant dark fish－like creature moving swiftly towards her. “A shark！” Tonya froze. “I will be killed！” The next moment, another giant wave hit her unconscious.
Jack was walking along the beach and suddenly he spotted something like a tiny boat moving towards the beach. “Maybe someone has picked up Tonya！” He was expecting a miracle to fall upon Tonya. “Oh, no, it isn't a boat. It is Lucky—the injured killer whale we have rescued！” “Why is it here？” Before Jack figured out what was happening, another killer whale came out of nowhere, holding up a person high in the air! “It's Tonya！”
