Miles away from home, senior Nanuka Dudashvili notices the heat of the Texas as she waits for her host family. Dudashvili thinks about what they will be like and what being an exchange student will bring her later in life.
On Sept. 11, Dudashvili arrived in the U.S. as a foreign exchange student from the Republic of Georgia. She wanted to participate in the foreign exchange program because it’s her last chance to get involved this year. “I think everybody’s exchange family is different because it depends on what kind of school, what state, and what kind of host family you have,” Dudashvili said.
Dudashvili was used to how close everything was in her hometown but coming to the U.S., she realized the distance of everything around her. She came from a small country between Asia and Europe, where the schools were smaller and the classes they teach were different. When she first started school in the U.S., she noticed the size and friendly environment of the buildings. “I was amazed by the school. I was actually walking with a map all week,” Dudahuili said.
It wasn’t hard for her to get comfortable in a new place for her classmates made her experience in the U.S. more enjoyable. Dudashvili’s host parents also helped her develop some of her favorite experiences. One of them being New Year’s since in the Republic of Georgia they don’t observe Christmas, her host parents celebrated all of the traditions for the holidays.
However, things can turn out a little bumpy sometimes. A challenge Dudashvili faced as an exchange student was the use of technology in classrooms. Sometimes she would take twice the amount of time submitting assignments on an electronic device than she did writing them by hand.
Dudashvili believes being a foreign exchange student has completely changed her life because it has helped her grow as a person. “I always wanted to change something in my life and I felt like this was the best thing to do, Dudashvili said, gave me everything and meant lot to me.”
4. Why did Dudashvili want to take part in the program
A. Because she loves the heat of Texas.
B. Because she wants to leave her hometown.
C. Because she is quite familiar with her host family.
D. Because she doesn’t want to miss out on the opportunity.
5. What do we know about Dudashvili’s new school
A. It requires students to take a map.
B. It’s huge and has many buildings.
C. It’s miles away from where she lives.
D. It has smaller classes than those in Georgia.
6. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. She gets homesick sometimes.
B. She is fond of religious traditions.
C. She experiences severe cultural shock.
D. She gets on well with her friends from school.
7. What does the underlined word “bumpy” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Tough. B. Opposite. C. Dull. D. Plain.

In the past few decades, the way we shop has changed dramatically. We used to buy our goods in traditional shops. Now, customers are increasingly buying online, where they can order whatever they want directly to their door with the click of a mouse. As companies race to improve their Internet shopping experience, the trend towards shopping online is predicted to continue.
Most people commonly think that online shopping is better than in-store shopping. After all, an online store does not use the electricity that a traditional store might use and it doesn't require the customer to drive anywhere. So you would think the carbon savings must be significant.
Take the typical home delivery round in the UK, for example. Supermarket drivers often do 120 deliveries on an 80-kilometre round, producing 20 kilograms of CO2 in total. In contrast, a 21-kilometre drive to the store and back for one household would produce 24 times more CO2! However, the reality is slightly more complex than that. Many home deliveries fail the first time and the driver has to make a second or third attempt to deliver the purchase.
The carbon footprint also goes up if the customer chooses to return the item. A study in Germany shows that as many as one in three online purchases are returned. According to another study, merchandise（商品）worth nearly $326 million is returned each year in the USA. Two billion kilograms of this ends up in landfill（垃圾填埋池）, leading to 133 tons of CO2 being released.
When we take all these factors into consideration, we realize that online shopping isn't necessarily as green as people might think. There is some positive news, as various online retailers（零售商）are starting to lower their carbon footprint by turning to electric delivery vehicles. However, the question of how to deal with returns efficiently and without waste is a challenge that many companies have not wanted to face, but they have to shoulder responsibilities.
8. What is a common belief about online shopping according to the text
A. It increases companies' pressure.
B. It costs less than in-store shopping.
C. It is more environmentally-friendly.
D. It improves customers' shopping experience.
9. The data in Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly shows that ________.
A. online shopping is sometimes inconvenient
B. some online items are actually of poor quality
C. customers should think twice before shopping
D. online shopping may cause much carbon footprint
10. How do online retailers try to reduce carbon footprint
A. By cutting the distance of delivery. B. By using a greener way of delivery.
C. By choosing to sell electric vehicles. D. By recycling their customers' returns.
11 What is the passage mainly about
A. Online shopping has bad impacts on the environment.
B. The trend towards shopping online will continue.
C Online companies cause much carbon footprint.
D. Online shopping is greener than in-store shopping.
D
Long after the coronavirus pandemic is declared over, another health plight(困境) could take its place: a mental health crisis, experts have warned. But according to a new study, practicing yoga may help to reduce the blues, at least somewhat.
Researchers with the University of South Australia, in a partnership with the Federal University of Santa Maria, UNSW Sydney, Kings College London, and Western Sydney University, conducted what is said to be the first “world study” on the mental health benefits of practicing yoga.
In a meta-analysis of 180 studies across six countries that involved some 1,080 participants-all of whom had a “formal diagnosis of a mental disorder, including depression and anxiety,” according to news release on the findings-researchers found that the participants’ mental health improved with “movement-based yoga,” with the benefits “being incremental(递增的) with the amount of yoga they practiced,” they said.
Movement-based yoga was defined by the researchers as “any form of yoga where participants are physically active at least 50 percent of the time, that is, forms of yoga that emphasize holding poses and flowing through series of poses,” according to the news release.
“As self-isolation continues and people find themselves working from home and unable to physically catch up with their friends and family, we’re likely to see more people feel lonely and disconnected,” said lead researcher and University of South Australia Ph.D. candidate Jacinta Brinsley, in a statement. “Exercise has always been a great strategy for people struggling with these feelings as it boosts both mood and health. But as gyms and exercise classes of all kinds are now closed — even jogging with a friend is strongly discouraged — people are looking for options, and this is where yoga can help.”
Our research shows that movement-based yoga improved symptoms of depression(or improved mental health) for people living with a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, post-traumatic(创伤后) stress and major depression. “So, it’s very good news for people struggling in times of uncertainty,” Brinsley added.
12. Why did the scientists conduct the research
A. To call on more people to practice yoga.
B. To test the seriousness of the mental health crisis.
C. To find out the effects of practicing yoga on mental health.
D. To warn people of the potential risk caused by the pandemic.
13. What can we learn about movement-based yoga
A. It demands high accuracy of poses.
B. It requires participants to move constantly.
C. It stresses the flow through poses after poses.
D. It makes up 50 percent of the time people spend on exercising.
14. Why are people turning to yoga according to Jacinta Brinsley
A. They struggle with the strategy to exercise.
B. They grow tired of jogging with their friends.
C. They are too depressed to make other choices.
D. Routine exercise is not accessible for the moment.
15. What is the best title for this text
A. Breakthrough in Times of Uncertainty
B. Yoga Helps Coronavirus-related Depression
C. How to Defeat Depression During the Pandemic
D. Benefits of Practicing Yoga on a Regular Basis

Here’re several habits you should adopt to get good grades.

Miles away from home, senior Nanuka Dudashvili notices the heat of the Texas as she waits for her host family. Dudashvili thinks about what they will be like and what being an exchange student will bring her later in life.
On Sept. 11, Dudashvili arrived in the U.S. as a foreign exchange student from the Republic of Georgia. She wanted to participate in the foreign exchange program because it’s her last chance to get involved this year. “I think everybody’s exchange family is different because it depends on what kind of school, what state, and what kind of host family you have,” Dudashvili said.
Dudashvili was used to how close everything was in her hometown but coming to the U.S., she realized the distance of everything around her. She came from a small country between Asia and Europe, where the schools were smaller and the classes they teach were different. When she first started school in the U.S., she noticed the size and friendly environment of the buildings. “I was amazed by the school. I was actually walking with a map all week,” Dudahuili said.
It wasn’t hard for her to get comfortable in a new place, for her classmates made her experience in the U.S. more enjoyable. Dudashvili’s host parents also helped her develop some of her favorite experiences. One of them being New Year’s since in the Republic of Georgia they don’t observe Christmas, her host parents celebrated all of the traditions for the holidays.
However, things can turn out a little bumpy sometimes. A challenge Dudashvili faced as an exchange student was the use of technology in classrooms. Sometimes she would take twice the amount of time submitting assignments on an electronic device than she did writing them by hand.
Dudashvili believes being a foreign exchange student has completely changed her life because it has helped her grow as a person. “I always wanted to change something in my life and I felt like this was the best thing to do, Dudashvili said, gave me everything and meant lot to me.”
4. Why did Dudashvili want to take part in the program
A. Because she loves the heat of Texas.
B. Because she wants to leave her hometown.
C. Because she is quite familiar with her host family.
D. Because she doesn’t want to miss out on the opportunity.
5. What do we know about Dudashvili’s new school
A. It requires students to take a map.
B. It’s huge and has many buildings.
C. It’s miles away from where she lives.
D. It has smaller classes than those in Georgia.
6. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. She gets homesick sometimes.
B. She is fond of religious traditions.
C. She experiences severe cultural shock.
D. She gets on well with her friends from school.
7. What does the underlined word “bumpy” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Tough. B. Opposite. C. Dull. D. Plain.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. A

In the past few decades, the way we shop has changed dramatically. We used to buy our goods in traditional shops. Now, customers are increasingly buying online, where they can order whatever they want directly to their door with the click of a mouse. As companies race to improve their Internet shopping experience, the trend towards shopping online is predicted to continue.
Most people commonly think that online shopping is better than in-store shopping. After all, an online store does not use the electricity that a traditional store might use and it doesn't require the customer to drive anywhere. So you would think the carbon savings must be significant.
Take the typical home delivery round in the UK, for example. Supermarket drivers often do 120 deliveries on an 80-kilometre round, producing 20 kilograms of CO2 in total. In contrast, a 21-kilometre drive to the store and back for one household would produce 24 times more CO2! However, the reality is slightly more complex than that. Many home deliveries fail the first time and the driver has to make a second or third attempt to deliver the purchase.
The carbon footprint also goes up if the customer chooses to return the item. A study in Germany shows that as many as one in three online purchases are returned. According to another study, merchandise（商品）worth nearly $326 million is returned each year in the USA. Two billion kilograms of this ends up in landfill（垃圾填埋池）, leading to 133 tons of CO2 being released.
When we take all these factors into consideration, we realize that online shopping isn't necessarily as green as people might think. There is some positive news, as various online retailers（零售商）are starting to lower their carbon footprint by turning to electric delivery vehicles. However, the question of how to deal with returns efficiently and without waste is a challenge that many companies have not wanted to face, but they have to shoulder responsibilities.
8. What is a common belief about online shopping according to the text
A. It increases companies' pressure.
B. It costs less than in-store shopping.
C. It is more environmentally-friendly.
D. It improves customers' shopping experience.
9. The data in Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly shows that ________.
A online shopping is sometimes inconvenient
B. some online items are actually of poor quality
C. customers should think twice before shopping
D. online shopping may cause much carbon footprint
10. How do online retailers try to reduce carbon footprint
A. By cutting the distance of delivery. B. By using a greener way of delivery.
C. By choosing to sell electric vehicles. D. By recycling their customers' returns.
11. What is the passage mainly about
A. Online shopping has bad impacts on the environment.
B. The trend towards shopping online will continue.
C. Online companies cause much carbon footprint.
D. Online shopping is greener than in-store shopping.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了现在越来越多的顾客在网上购物，人们普遍认为网上购物更环保，然而并非如此。文章通过具体的数据来说明了网上购物可能会造成很多碳足迹，指出如何有效地处理退货没有浪费是很多公司必须承担的责任。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Most people commonly think that online shopping is better than in-store shopping. After all, an online store does not use the electricity that a traditional store might use and it doesn't require the customer to drive anywhere. So you would think the carbon savings must be significant.(大多数人普遍认为网上购物比实体店购物好。毕竟，网上商店不用像传统商店那样用电，也不需要顾客开车去任何地方。所以你会认为碳节约一定是非常重要的)”可知，人们普遍认为网上购物更环保。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Take the typical home delivery round in the UK, for example. Supermarket drivers often do 120 deliveries on an 80-kilometre round, producing 20 kilograms of CO2 in total. In contrast, a 21-kilometre drive to the store and back for one household would generate 24 times more CO2! However, the reality is slightly more complex than that. Many home deliveries fail the first time and the driver has to make a second or third attempt to deliver the purchase.(以英国典型的送货上门为例。 超市司机通常每80公里送货120次，总共产生20公斤二氧化碳。相比之下，一个家庭驱车21公里到商店来回会产生24倍多的二氧化碳! 然而，实际情况要比这稍微复杂一些。许多送货上门第一次就失败了，司机不得不再尝试一次或第三次送货)”以及第四段“The carbon footprint also goes up if the customer chooses to return the item. A study in Germany shows that as many as one in three online purchases are returned. According to another study, merchandise worth nearly $ 326 million is returned each year in the USA. Two billion kilograms of this ends up in landfill, leading to 13 tons of CO2 being released. (如果顾客选择退货，碳足迹也会增加。德国的一项研究显示，多达三分之一的网上购物被退回。 另一项研究显示，美国每年被退回的商品价值近3.26亿美元。其中有20亿公斤最终被填埋，导致13吨二氧化碳被释放)”可推知，第3段和第4段的数据主要表明了网上购物可能会造成很多碳足迹。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“There is some positive news, as various online retailers are starting to lower their carbon footprint by turning to electric delivery vehicles.(有一些积极的消息，因为各种在线零售商开始转向电动运输车辆来降低他们的碳足迹)”可知，网上零售商可以使用更环保的运输方式来减少碳足迹。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“When we take all these factors into consideration, we realize that online shopping isn't necessarily as green as people might think.(当我们把所有这些因素都考虑进去的时候，我们意识到网上购物并不像人们想象的那么环保)”结合文章主要说明了现在，越来越多的顾客在网上购物，人们普遍认为网上购物更环保，然而并非如此。因此推断文章主要介绍了网上购物对环境的不良影响。故选A。
D
Long after the coronavirus pandemic is declared over, another health plight(困境) could take its place: a mental health crisis, experts have warned. But according to a new study, practicing yoga may help to reduce the blues, at least somewhat.
Researchers with the University of South Australia, in a partnership with the Federal University of Santa Maria, UNSW Sydney, Kings College London, and Western Sydney University, conducted what is said to be the first “world study” on the mental health benefits of practicing yoga.
In a meta-analysis of 180 studies across six countries that involved some 1,080 participants-all of whom had a “formal diagnosis of a mental disorder, including depression and anxiety,” according to news release on the findings-researchers found that the participants’ mental health improved with “movement-based yoga,” with the benefits “being incremental(递增的) with the amount of yoga they practiced,” they said.
Movement-based yoga was defined by the researchers as “any form of yoga where participants are physically active at least 50 percent of the time, that is, forms of yoga that emphasize holding poses and flowing through series of poses,” according to the news release.
“As self-isolation continues and people find themselves working from home and unable to physically catch up with their friends and family, we’re likely to see more people feel lonely and disconnected,” said lead researcher and University of South Australia Ph.D. candidate Jacinta Brinsley, in a statement. “Exercise has always been a great strategy for people struggling with these feelings as it boosts both mood and health. But as gyms and exercise classes of all kinds are now closed — even jogging with a friend is strongly discouraged — people are looking for options, and this is where yoga can help.”
Our research shows that movement-based yoga improved symptoms of depression(or improved mental health) for people living with a range of mental health conditions including anxiety, post-traumatic(创伤后) stress and major depression. “So, it’s very good news for people struggling in times of uncertainty,” Brinsley added.
12. Why did the scientists conduct the research
A. To call on more people to practice yoga.
B. To test the seriousness of the mental health crisis.
C. To find out the effects of practicing yoga on mental health.
D. To warn people of the potential risk caused by the pandemic.
13. What can we learn about movement-based yoga
A. It demands high accuracy of poses.
B. It requires participants to move constantly.
C. It stresses the flow through poses after poses.
D. It makes up 50 percent of the time people spend on exercising.
14. Why are people turning to yoga according to Jacinta Brinsley
A They struggle with the strategy to exercise.
B. They grow tired of jogging with their friends.
C. They are too depressed to make other choices.
D. Routine exercise is not accessible for the moment.
15. What is the best title for this text
A. Breakthrough in Times of Uncertainty
B. Yoga Helps Coronavirus-related Depression
C. How to Defeat Depression During the Pandemic
D. Benefits of Practicing Yoga on a Regular Basis
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了练习瑜伽可以减少由新冠疫情所造成的抑郁症。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Researchers with the University of South Australia, in a partnership with the Federal University of Santa Maria, UNSW Sydney, Kings College London, and Western Sydney University, conducted what is said to be the first “world study” on the mental health benefits of practicing yoga.(南澳大利亚大学的研究人员与圣玛丽亚联邦大学、新南威尔士大学悉尼分校、伦敦国王学院和西悉尼大学合作，进行了据称是首个关于练习瑜伽对心理健康益处的世界研究)”可知，来自澳大利亚的科学家们所做的实验是为了找出练习瑜伽对心理健康所带来的影响。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Movement-based yoga was defined by the researchers as “any form of yoga where participants are physically active at least 50 percent of the time, that is, forms of yoga that emphasize holding poses and flowing through series of poses,” according to the news release.(根据新闻发布的内容，基于运动的瑜伽被研究人员定义为“任何形式的瑜伽，参与者至少有50%的时间是活跃的，也就是说，强调保持姿势和贯穿一系列姿势的瑜伽形式。”)”可知，基于运动的瑜伽需要保持姿势同时也要贯穿一系列姿势。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Exercise has always been a great strategy for people struggling with these feelings as it boosts both mood and health. But as gyms and exercise classes of all kinds are now closed—even jogging with a friend is strongly discouraged—people are looking for options, and this is where yoga can help.(对于那些与这些情绪斗争的人来说，锻炼一直是一个很好的策略，因为它既能提升情绪，又能促进健康。但现在，健身房和各种健身课程都关门了——甚至不鼓励和朋友一起慢跑——人们开始寻找其他选择，这就是瑜伽可以帮助的地方。)”可知，在疫情之中，健身房和健身课程都关闭了，甚至与朋友慢跑也变成不能实现的，所以人们转向瑜伽。由此推知，由于常规锻炼变得不现实，人们开始练习瑜伽。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Long after the coronavirus pandemic is declared over, another health plight could take its place: a mental health crisis, experts have warned. But according to a new study, practicing yoga may help to reduce the blues, at least somewhat.(专家警告称，在冠状病毒大流行被宣布结束很久之后，另一种健康困境可能会取代它：心理健康危机。但根据一项新的研究，练习瑜伽可能有助于减少忧郁，至少在一定程度上)”可知，本文主要介绍了练习瑜伽可以减少由新冠疫情所带来的心理危机。所以B项Yoga Helps Coronavirus-related Depression(瑜伽有助于与新冠相关的抑郁症)满足大意。故选B。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。
Habits to be a highly effective student
Some students are able to get straight A’s and at the same time serve as the president of three clubs. However, some students struggle to keep their GPA (Grade-Point Average) above a 3.0. ___16___ Although it’s true that everyone’s IQ is different, good study habits are very important. Here’re several habits you should adopt to get good grades.
___17___ If you haven’t had a planner (规划薄), get one. Many people use their computers and smartphones to make a schedule. The problem with that approach is that they are major distractions. Instead, get an old-fashioned paper and pen planner.
Create a weekly schedule. ___18___ Include time that will be spent eating, sleeping and doing anything not related to school work. That way you know exactly how much you can accomplish each day.
Take frequent, short breaks. Taking a break from studying for 15 minutes every hour will help keep you refreshed. ___19___ If you don’t take a break, you may find yourself daydreaming or even falling asleep. Take some time for some water, a snack or a quick chat with a friend.
Take care of yourself. During final exam week, it is common for students to fall behind on sleep and meals. Make sure you get a good night’s sleep and have regular meals. Studying while hungry or sleepy is ineffective and will slow you down in the long run. Also try to make time for friends and family. ___20___
A. Keep things organized.
B. Keep away from your computers.
C. Of course, not everyone needs breaks.
D. Our brains are not meant to work for hours nonstop.
E. Having a good support system will help with all the stress.
F. And they seem to spend all of their time in studying.
G. Then under each day, make a list of things to do each hour.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. G 19. D 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了成为学习效率高的学生应拥有的四个好的习惯。
【16题详解】
空前“However, some students struggle to keep their GPA (Grade-Point Average) above a 3.0. (然而，有些学生努力保持他们的GPA（平均绩点）在3.0以上。)”说明有的学生需要很努力学习，F选项“And they seem to spend all of their time in studying. (他们似乎把所有的时间都花在了学习上。)”说明了这些学生花很多时间学习，和前文努力学习相一致，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。
【17题详解】
空格处是本段主题句，由下文“If you haven’t had a planner (规划薄), get one. (如果你还没有规划薄，那就找一个。)”可知，在本段作者想要强调规划的重要性，A项“Keep things organized. (保持井井有条。)”也是在强调规划，因此概括本段内容，可作为主题句。故选A。
【18题详解】
上文“Create a weekly schedule. (创建每周计划。)”是第二条建议，也就是创建一周的时间表。G项“Then under each day, make a list of things to do each hour. (然后在每一天下面，列出每小时要做的事情。)”承接上文，在周计划之下，列好一周中的每天每个小时要做的事情，也开启下文“Include time that will be spent eating, sleeping and doing anything not related to school work. (包括吃饭、睡觉和做任何与学习无关的事情的时间。)”具体细化到每个件事的时间安排。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Take frequent, short breaks. (经常进行短暂的休息。)”可知，本条建议是要经常休息。再根据下文“If you don’t take a break, you may find yourself daydreaming or even falling asleep. (如果你不休息，你可能会发现自己在做白日梦，甚至睡着了。)”可知，大脑是需要休息的，不能无休止地工作。D项“Our brains are not meant to work for hours nonstop. (我们的大脑不应该连续工作几个小时。)”说明大脑不能连续工作，符合上下文。故选D。
【20题详解】
由上文“Also try to make time for friends and family. (也试着为朋友和家人腾出时间。)”可知，作者建议要花时间跟家人在一起。E项“Having a good support system will help with all the stress. (有一个好的支持系统将有助于缓解所有的压力。)”正是解释了作者提出该条建议的原因，因为家人和朋友的支持能够帮助我们缓解压力，符合行文逻辑。故选E。

【47题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：他发现许多与疾病爆发有关的受害者都在水泵附近，所以他把水泵的把手拿掉了。分析可知，此处应用非谓语动词作宾补，逻辑主语handle与remove之间是被动关系，可知此处要用过去分词。短语have sth. done“让某事被做”。故填removed。

Of all my teachers, Mr. Jenkins is the one which impresses me most. Though he is 34, he looks very young for his age. And he’s one of the most popular teacher in our paring with other teachers, Mr. Jenkins pays more attention to his ways of teaching He tries various of ways to make his classes lively and interestingly. In his opinion, we should not only know “what”, and also understand “why”. So, instead of giving us answers immediately, he inspired us to think by ourselves whenever he puts forward questions. With her help, we’ve learned how to analyze and settle problems. Even the students who previously lacked confidence now take active part in his class. We all appreciate that he has done for us.
【答案】1.which→who
2.teacher→teachers
3.Comparing→Compared
4.去掉of
5.interestingly→interesting
6.and→but
7.inspired→inspires
8.her→his
9.在take后面加an
10.that→what
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍的是作者的老师Mr. Jenkins。
【详解】1.考查定语从句。句意：在我所有的老师中，詹金斯先生是给我印象最深的一个。“impresses me most”是定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，先行词one是人，因此用who引导定语从句，故将which改为who。
2.考查名词的复数。句意：他是我们学校最受欢迎的老师之一。one of后跟名词的复数teachers，故将teacher改为teachers。
3.考查非谓语动词。句意：与其他老师相比，詹金斯先生更注重他的教学方法。pays是谓语，compare要用非谓语动词，Mr. Jenkins和compare之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此用过去分词表被动，位于句首，首字母大写，故将Comparing改为Compared。
4.考查介词。句意：他尝试各种方法使他的课生动有趣。various是形容词，直接修饰名词，of是多余的，故去掉of。
5.考查形容词。句意：他尝试各种方法使他的课生动有趣。“make sth.+形容词”是固定用法，意为“使某物……”，因此interestingly应该改为形容词interesting，故将interestingly改为interesting。
6.考查固定搭配。句意：在他看来，我们不仅要知道“是什么”，还要明白“为什么”。not only...but also...是固定搭配，意为“不但……而且……”，故将and改为but。
7.考查时态和主谓一致。句意：所以，每当他提出问题时，他并没有马上给我们答案，而是激励我们自己去思考。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语he是单数，因此inspire用第三人称单数，故将inspired改为inspires。
8.考查物主代词。句意：在他的帮助下，我们学会了如何分析和解决问题。根据语境可知，句子表示“在他的帮助下，我们学会了如何分析和解决问题”，“他的”是his，故将her改为his。
9.考查固定短语。句意：即使以前缺乏自信的学生现在也积极参与他的课堂。take an active part in是固定短语，意为“积极参加……”，故在take后面加an。
10.考查宾语从句。句意：我们都很感激他为我们所做的一切。“he has done for us”是宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，根据语境可知，句子表示“我们都很感激他为我们所做的一切”，因此用what引导宾语从句，故将that改为what。

【答案】范文
How to create a green campus
Green campus does not only mean more trees and grasses in our campus’s environment but also developing an energy-efficient and resource-cycled campus. However, there are a lot of environmental problems and waste of energy. Some students may keep the water pipes on when they do the laundry. When eating, they throw food away because it’s not delicious. And the lights in the classroom are on all the time, even if no one is inside.
In my opinion, to create green campus, everyone on campus should be informed to form the habit of using resources properly and saving energy, such as turning off the light when leaving and value food. In addition, students will be educated to take environmental problems seriously as their own commitment and responsibility. What’s more, only by the co-efforts of the whole society could “green campus” work smoothly and bring benefit to people’s well-beings.
