Soaring to 29, 035 feet, the famous Mount Everest had long been considered unclimbable due to the freezing weather, the obvious potential fall from cliffs and the effects of the extreme high altitude, often called “mountain sickness.” But that was to be changed by Edmund Hillary.
When he was invited to join the British Everest expedition in 1953 Edmund Hillary was a highly capable climber. The glacier-covered peaks in his hometown in New Zealand proved a perfect training ground for the Himalaya. It was his fourth Himalayan expedition in just over two years and he was at the peak of fitness.
On May 28, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, an experienced Sherpa (夏尔巴人), set out and reached the South Summit by 9 a.m. next day. But after that, the ridge (山脊) slightly fell before rising suddenly in a rocky spur (尖坡) about 17 meters high just before the true summit. The formation is difficult to climb due to its extreme pitch because a mistake would be deadly. Scratching at the snow with his ax, Hillary managed to overcome this enormous obstacle, later to be known as the Hillary Step.
At 11: 30 a. m., the two men found themselves standing at the top of the world. “Not until we were about 50 feet of the top was I ever completely convinced that we were actually going to reach the summit.” Hillary later recounted, “Of course I was very, very pleased to be on the summit, but my first thought was a little bit of surprise. After all, this is the ambition of all mountaineers.”
Emerging as the first to summit Mount Everest, Hillary continued by helping explore Antarctica, and establishing the Himalayan Trust (信托基金), through which he provided a number of beneficial services to the Himalayan peoples. He also left a sizeable legacy that mountain climbers have chased ever since. As a young climber said, “It was not just Hillary and Tenzing that reached the summit of Mount Everest. It was all of humanity. Suddenly, all of us could go.”
24. What made Edmund Hillary a capable climber on the 1953 expedition
A. His undisputed reputation. B. His previous training on Mount Everest.
C. His remarkable physical condition. D. His exceptional ability to adapt to the cold.
25. What does the Hillary Step refer to
A. A steep spur of rock Hillary conquered. B. An ax Hillary used to scratch snow.
C. A mistake Hillary avoided making. D. A sudden fall of a ridge Hillary skipped.
26. What was Hillary’s initial feeling upon reaching the summit of Mount Everest
A. Overwhelming joy. B. A touch of astonishment.
C. Complete disbelief. D. Enormous pride.
27. What was the impact of Hillary’s achievement on mountaineering
A. It led to friendly regulations for mountaineering.
B. It left financial benefits for climbers to pursue.
C. It enabled him to give back to his hometown.
D. It opens up possibilities for other climbers.
C
Farming is destroying the planet, but there could be a much more environmentally friendly way to feed ourselves: using renewable energy to turn carbon dioxide into food. “This is becoming a reality,” says Pasi Vainikka at Solar Foods, a company that is building the first commercial-scale factory that will be able to make food directly from CO2.
There can be no doubt that immediate attention to find greener ways to grow food is required. Conventional agriculture, including organic farming, causes damage to the environment in many ways. It requires a lot of land, leading to habitat loss and deforestation. It is also the source of a third of all greenhouse gas emissions and releases other pollutants. It isn’t very efficient, either. Crops typically transform less than 1 percent of light energy into usable biomass (生物量).
Instead, Solar Foods plans to avoid photosynthesis (光合作用) altogether, and grow bacteria that use hydrogen as their source of energy. At the factory, renewable electricity will be used to split water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen will be added to large containers, where the bacteria grow, along with CO2 and ammonia (氨气). The end result will be a yellow powder called Solein.
Solein is made of bacterial cells and is up to 70 percent protein. It can be used as an ingredient in all kinds of foods. “We are aiming at replacing animal-sourced proteins, which we think have the highest environmental impact,” says Vainikka.
Compared with plant crops, Solein will use 100 times less water per kilogram of protein produced, 20 times less land and emit a fifth as much CO2, according to Solar Foods. There are other benefits, too: factories could be situated anywhere in the world and production won’t be affected by weather conditions.
“With Solar Foods and other companies scaling up their systems, this is truly beginning a new era of agriculture,” says Dorian Leger at Connectomix Bio in Germany. “I think these trends are exciting and will help bend the carbon curve as well as lead to improved global food supply security.”
28. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning conventional agriculture in paragraph 2
A. To demonstrate its influence on crops.
B. To compare different farming methods.
C. To highlight the urgent need for alternatives.
D. To provide an example of agricultural types.
29. What is mainly presented in paragraph 3 concerning Solein
A. Its production process. B. Its storage condition.
C. Its ingredient materials. D. Its investment potential.
30. What is one of the features of Solein
A. It is low in protein. B. Its production is weather sensitive.
C. It is resource-limited. D. Its production is location-independent.
31. Which statement would Dorian Leger probably agree with
A. The use of Solein may help reduce carbon emissions.
B. Solein will dominate the agricultural development.
C. Solein can help achieve global food safety.
D. The prospect of Solein remains to be seen.
D
It scarcely seems surprising that learning to underline a modal verb, such as “can”, and “may”, does little to help students use them effectively in their own writing. These words are anyway grasped by tiny children without the need to know what they are called. This may tempt the conclusion that the teaching of grammar should be shelved altogether. But there are reasons to reform it rather than throw it away.
Understanding of language is part of a wider education in what makes human beings human. How concepts are turned into sounds, and how those sounds combine to form commands or questions, are issues that have occupied many language experts. What they reveal about the mind has exercised psychologists and cognitive (认知的) scientists.
There are practical reasons to ask children to work hard at grammar, too. One is that a knowledge of it will make learning a foreign language easier. Even if you did know by nature how to make clauses in your native languages as a child — just without instruction — getting to grips with them in German or Russian in later years is simpler if you know how to define and spot them. As it is, many English-speakers come to understand grammar by studying a foreign language, rather than the other way round.
For grammarians keen on future jobs, the natural-language processing field is booming. After many years of poor results, technological wizards have developed programs for automated translation, speech recognition and other services that are actually usable, if far from perfect. These tools may rely more on knowledge of artificial intelligence than of the subjunctive, but linguistic (语言学的) expertise still matters, and may give beginners an edge over competitors whose best language is Python (编程).
Grammar could still be taught better. One small study showed improvement in some students when concepts are linked concretely to writing tasks. A cook does not need to know chemistry to make a delicious soup. But the science of how words combine to make meaning is fascinating and fundamental.
32 Why do some people consider stopping teaching grammar
A. Teachers’ teaching methods are far from satisfactory.
B. It’s unnecessary for small kids to grasp modal verbs.
C. Drawing lines under words fails to be effective in learning.
D. Grammar Learning doesn’t bring obvious effect to writing.
33. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “getting to grips with” in paragraph 3
A. Controlling. B. Mastering.
C. Holding on to. D. Dealing with.
34. When it comes to future jobs, grammarians believe _______.
A. a good command of Python is enough for programmers
B. the field of artificial technology still shows great promise
C. being expert in language means advantages in competition
D. computer geniuses will invent perfect tools to process language
35. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. Grammar teaching shouldn’t be stopped but reformed.
B. Scientific study of human beings benefits from grammar.
C. Grammar helps children to learn foreign languages better.
D. There’s much room for improvement in grammar research.

WHY A DOSE OF FEAR IS GOOD FOR YOU
Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “Do one thing every day that scares you.” She was onto something. Science has shown that feeling fear — in the right doses (量) — has several benefits.
·Feeling fear is fun and exciting. Many people scare themselves on purpose. ____36____
When you step outside your comfort zone, it is fear that makes you feel alive, which is fun and exciting. The excitement generated can also help reduce depression by increasing adrenaline (肾上腺素), which in turn increases excitement and glucose (changed into energy). ____37____ A dose of fear is an “eraser” for the mind.
·____38____ Being afraid of something can remind you of an area of your life that is limiting you. For instance if you’re afraid of flying but face the fear and gather up the courage to step on an airplane, you can travel the world. Adding to your experiences means that you’ll create a varied life. You’ll also have fewer regrets.
·Fear makes you aware of what’s really important in life. How often have you said to yourself: “When I have more time, I’ll spend it with my family, pursue my passion, eat healthier or exercise more” Fear makes you realize that “now” is the only time you have to achieve and follow through what is most important._____39_____
Some say where fear meets courage is the sweet spot in which mountains get scaled and rivers are run. _____40_____ We should all embrace our fear. Not the big fears that are life-threatening but the helpful fears that come in small doses.
A. Fear helps you succeed.
B. “Later” is never ensured.
C. Fear allows you to live life to the fullest.
D. They watch scary movies, ride roller coasters or go skydiving.
E. And every time you come through a challenge, you feel empowered.
F. Most of all, fear can be the birth place of change, creativity and innovation.
G. Actually it’s nearly impossible to be thinking of your worries when you are experiencing fear.

Soaring to 29, 035 feet, the famous Mount Everest had long been considered unclimbable due to the freezing weather, the obvious potential fall from cliffs and the effects of the extreme high altitude, often called “mountain sickness.” But that was to be changed by Edmund Hillary.
When he was invited to join the British Everest expedition in 1953, Edmund Hillary was a highly capable climber. The glacier-covered peaks in his hometown in New Zealand proved a perfect training ground for the Himalaya. It was his fourth Himalayan expedition in just over two years and he was at the peak of fitness.
On May 28, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, an experienced Sherpa (夏尔巴人), set out and reached the South Summit by 9 a.m. next day. But after that, the ridge (山脊) slightly fell before rising suddenly in a rocky spur (尖坡) about 17 meters high just before the true summit. The formation is difficult to climb due to its extreme pitch because a mistake would be deadly. Scratching at the snow with his ax, Hillary managed to overcome this enormous obstacle, later to be known as the Hillary Step.
At 11: 30 a. m., the two men found themselves standing at the top of the world. “Not until we were about 50 feet of the top was I ever completely convinced that we were actually going to reach the summit.” Hillary later recounted, “Of course I was very, very pleased to be on the summit, but my first thought was a little bit of surprise. After all, this is the ambition of all mountaineers.”
Emerging as the first to summit Mount Everest, Hillary continued by helping explore Antarctica, and establishing the Himalayan Trust (信托基金), through which he provided a number of beneficial services to the Himalayan peoples. He also left a sizeable legacy that mountain climbers have chased ever since. As a young climber said, “It was not just Hillary and Tenzing that reached the summit of Mount Everest. It was all of humanity. Suddenly, all of us could go.”
24. What made Edmund Hillary a capable climber on the 1953 expedition
A. His undisputed reputation. B. His previous training on Mount Everest.
C. His remarkable physical condition. D. His exceptional ability to adapt to the cold.
25. What does the Hillary Step refer to
A. A steep spur of rock Hillary conquered. B. An ax Hillary used to scratch snow.
C. A mistake Hillary avoided making. D. A sudden fall of a ridge Hillary skipped.
26. What was Hillary’s initial feeling upon reaching the summit of Mount Everest
A. Overwhelming joy. B. A touch of astonishment.
C. Complete disbelief. D. Enormous pride.
27. What was the impact of Hillary’s achievement on mountaineering
A. It led to friendly regulations for mountaineering.
B. It left financial benefits for climbers to pursue.
C. It enabled him to give back to his hometown.
D. It opens up possibilities for other climbers.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了登山者Edmund Hillary攀登珠峰的尝试以及他对后人的影响。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It was his fourth Himalayan expedition in just over two years and he was at the peak of fitness.(这是他在两年多的时间里第四次去喜马拉雅探险，他正处于健康的巅峰。)”可知，是卓越的身体状况让Edmund Hillary在1953年的探险中成为一名有能力的登山者。故选C。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“But after that, the ridge (山脊) slightly fell before rising suddenly in a rocky spur (尖坡) about 17 meters high just before the true summit. The formation is difficult to climb due to its extreme pitch because a mistake would be deadly. Scratching at the snow with his ax, Hillary managed to overcome this enormous obstacle, later to be known as the Hillary Step.(但在那之后，山脊稍微下降，然后在真正的顶峰前突然上升到一个大约17米高的岩石岬。由于其极端的俯仰，这个阵型很难攀爬，因为一个错误将是致命的。希拉里用斧头刨雪，克服了这个巨大的障碍，后来被称为“希拉里台阶”。)”可知，“希拉里台阶”指的是希拉里征服的一处陡峭的岩尖。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Of course I was very, very pleased to be on the summit, but my first thought was a little bit of surprise.(当然，我非常非常高兴能登上顶峰，但我的第一个想法是有点惊讶。)”可知，希拉里登上珠穆朗玛峰的第一感觉有点惊讶。故选B。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“He also left a sizeable legacy that mountain climbers have chased ever since. As a young climber said, “It was not just Hillary and Tenzing that reached the summit of Mount Everest. It was all of humanity. Suddenly, all of us could go.”(他还留下了一笔可观的遗产，登山者们一直在追逐。正如一位年轻的登山者所说，“登上珠穆朗玛峰顶峰的不只是希拉里和Tenzing。这是全人类。突然间，我们所有人都可以去了。”)”可知，希拉里的成就为其他登山者提供了可能性。故选D。
C
Farming is destroying the planet, but there could be a much more environmentally friendly way to feed ourselves: using renewable energy to turn carbon dioxide into food. “This is becoming a reality,” says Pasi Vainikka at Solar Foods, a company that is building the first commercial-scale factory that will be able to make food directly from CO2.
There can be no doubt that immediate attention to find greener ways to grow food is required. Conventional agriculture, including organic farming, causes damage to the environment in many ways. It requires a lot of land, leading to habitat loss and deforestation. It is also the source of a third of all greenhouse gas emissions and releases other pollutants. It isn’t very efficient, either. Crops typically transform less than 1 percent of light energy into usable biomass (生物量).
Instead, Solar Foods plans to avoid photosynthesis (光合作用) altogether, and grow bacteria that use hydrogen as their source of energy. At the factory, renewable electricity will be used to split water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen will be added to large containers, where the bacteria grow, along with CO2 and ammonia (氨气). The end result will be a yellow powder called Solein.
Solein is made of bacterial cells and is up to 70 percent protein. It can be used as an ingredient in all kinds of foods. “We are aiming at replacing animal-sourced proteins, which we think have the highest environmental impact,” says Vainikka.
Compared with plant crops, Solein will use 100 times less water per kilogram of protein produced, 20 times less land and emit a fifth as much CO2, according to Solar Foods. There are other benefits, too: factories could be situated anywhere in the world and production won’t be affected by weather conditions.
“With Solar Foods and other companies scaling up their systems, this is truly beginning a new era of agriculture,” says Dorian Leger at Connectomix Bio in Germany. “I think these trends are exciting and will help bend the carbon curve as well as lead to improved global food supply security.”
28. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning conventional agriculture in paragraph 2
A. To demonstrate its influence on crops.
B. To compare different farming methods.
C. To highlight the urgent need for alternatives.
D. To provide an example of agricultural types.
29. What is mainly presented in paragraph 3 concerning Solein
A. Its production process. B. Its storage condition.
C. Its ingredient materials. D. Its investment potential.
30. What is one of the features of Solein
A. It is low in protein. B. Its production is weather sensitive.
C. It is resource-limited. D. Its production is location-independent.
31. Which statement would Dorian Leger probably agree with
A. The use of Solein may help reduce carbon emissions.
B. Solein will dominate the agricultural development.
C. Solein can help achieve global food safety.
D. The prospect of Solein remains to be seen.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了食品技术公司Solar Foods推出的空气蛋白Solein的生产过程及其应用的好处，并指出Solein可能是解决相关环境问题的最佳方法。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“There can be no doubt that immediate attention to find greener ways to grow food is required. Conventional agriculture, including organic farming, causes damage to the environment in many ways. It requires a lot of land, leading to habitat loss and deforestation. It is also the source of a third of all greenhouse gas emissions and releases other pollutants. It isn’t very efficient, either. Crops typically transform less than 1 percent of light energy into usable biomass (生物量).(毫无疑问，需要立即关注寻找更环保的方式来种植粮食。传统农业，包括有机农业，在许多方面对环境造成破坏。它需要大量的土地，导致栖息地丧失和森林砍伐。它也是三分之一的温室气体排放和其他污染物的来源。这也不是很有效。农作物通常将不到1%的光能转化为可用的生物质)”可知，本段列举了传统农业导致的一系列环境问题，目的是为了凸显新方法的迫切需要，也为后文介绍Solein作了铺垫。故选C。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“At the factory, renewable electricity will be used to split water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen will be added to large containers, where the bacteria grow, along with CO2 and ammonia (氨气). The end result will be a yellow powder called Solein.(在工厂里，可再生电力将用于分解水以产生氢气和氧气。氢气将被添加到细菌生长的大容器中，以及二氧化碳和氨。最终的结果是一种叫做Solein的黄色粉末)”可知，本段主要介绍了Solein的生产过程，故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“There are other benefits, too: factories could be situated anywhere in the world and production won’t be affected by weather conditions.(还有其他好处：工厂可以设在世界任何地方，生产不会受到天气条件的影响)”可知，Solein的一个特点是它的生产不受地点限制，故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I think these trends are exciting and will help bend the carbon curve as well as lead to improved global food supply security.(我认为这些趋势令人兴奋，将有助于改变碳曲线，并改善全球粮食供应安全)”可知，Dorian Leger认为这种应用有助于改变碳曲线，即Solein的使用可能有助于减少碳排放。故选A。
D
It scarcely seems surprising that learning to underline a modal verb, such as “can”, and “may”, does little to help students use them effectively in their own writing. These words are anyway grasped by tiny children without the need to know what they are called. This may tempt the conclusion that the teaching of grammar should be shelved altogether. But there are reasons to reform it rather than throw it away.
Understanding of language is part of a wider education in what makes human beings human. How concepts are turned into sounds, and how those sounds combine to form commands or questions, are issues that have occupied many language experts. What they reveal about the mind has exercised psychologists and cognitive (认知的) scientists.
There are practical reasons to ask children to work hard at grammar, too. One is that a knowledge of it will make learning a foreign language easier. Even if you did know by nature how to make clauses in your native languages as a child — just without instruction — getting to grips with them in German or Russian in later years is simpler if you know how to define and spot them. As it is, many English-speakers come to understand grammar by studying a foreign language, rather than the other way round.
For grammarians keen on future jobs, the natural-language processing field is booming. After many years of poor results, technological wizards have developed programs for automated translation, speech recognition and other services that are actually usable, if far from perfect. These tools may rely more on knowledge of artificial intelligence than of the subjunctive, but linguistic (语言学的) expertise still matters, and may give beginners an edge over competitors whose best language is Python (编程).
Grammar could still be taught better. One small study showed improvement in some students when concepts are linked concretely to writing tasks. A cook does not need to know chemistry to make a delicious soup. But the science of how words combine to make meaning is fascinating and fundamental.
32. Why do some people consider stopping teaching grammar
A. Teachers’ teaching methods are far from satisfactory.
B. It’s unnecessary for small kids to grasp modal verbs.
C. Drawing lines under words fails to be effective in learning.
D. Grammar Learning doesn’t bring obvious effect to writing.
33. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “getting to grips with” in paragraph 3
A. Controlling. B. Mastering.
C. Holding on to. D. Dealing with.
34. When it comes to future jobs, grammarians believe _______.
A. a good command of Python is enough for programmers
B. the field of artificial technology still shows great promise
C. being expert in language means advantages in competition
D. computer geniuses will invent perfect tools to process language
35. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. Grammar teaching shouldn’t be stopped but reformed.
B. Scientific study of human beings benefits from grammar.
C. Grammar helps children to learn foreign languages better.
D. There’s much room for improvement in grammar research.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了语法教学不应该停止，而应该改革。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It scarcely seems surprising that learning to underline a modal verb, such as ‘can’, and ‘may’, does little to help students use them effectively in their own writing.”(学习如何区分诸如“can”和“may”等情态动词对学生在自己的写作中有效地使用它们几乎没有帮助，这似乎并不奇怪)可知，有些人考虑停止教授语法是因为学习语法对写作没有明显的效果，故选D。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前的“Even if you did know by nature how to make clauses in your native languages as a child — just without instruction(即使你天生就知道如何用你的母语从句——只是在没有任何指导的情况下)”和其后的“if you know how to define and spot them.(如果你知道如何定义和识别它们)”可知，即使你从小就知道如何用母语造句，只是不需要指导，但如果你知道如何定义和识别它们，那么在以后的岁月里用德语或俄语来掌握它们会更简单，由此可知划线词词义为“掌握”，与B项“Mastering(掌握)”意思一样，故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“These tools may rely more on knowledge of artificial intelligence than of the subjunctive, but linguistic expertise still matters, and may give beginners an edge over competitors whose best language is Python.”(这些工具可能更多地依赖于人工智能的知识，而不是虚拟语言的知识，但语言专业知识仍然很重要，可能会让语言初学者比那些精通编程语言的竞争对手更有优势)可知，当谈到未来的工作时，语法学家们相信精通语言意味着在竞争中占有优势，故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段“This may tempt the conclusion that the teaching of grammar should be shelved altogether. But there are reasons to reform it rather than throw it away.”(这可能会得出这样的结论：语法教学应该完全搁置起来。但有理由对其进行改革，而不是将其丢弃)可知，文章主要介绍的是语法教学不应该停止，而应该改革，故选A。

WHY A DOSE OF FEAR IS GOOD FOR YOU
Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “Do one thing every day that scares you.” She was onto something. Science has shown that feeling fear — in the right doses (量) — has several benefits.
·Feeling fear is fun and exciting. Many people scare themselves on purpose. ____36____
When you step outside your comfort zone, it is fear that makes you feel alive, which is fun and exciting. The excitement generated can also help reduce depression by increasing adrenaline (肾上腺素), which in turn increases excitement and glucose (changed into energy). ____37____ A dose of fear is an “eraser” for the mind.
·____38____ Being afraid of something can remind you of an area of your life that is limiting you. For instance, if you’re afraid of flying but face the fear and gather up the courage to step on an airplane, you can travel the world. Adding to your experiences means that you’ll create a varied life. You’ll also have fewer regrets.
·Fear makes you aware of what’s really important in life. How often have you said to yourself: “When I have more time, I’ll spend it with my family, pursue my passion, eat healthier or exercise more” Fear makes you realize that “now” is the only time you have to achieve and follow through what is most important._____39_____
Some say where fear meets courage is the sweet spot in which mountains get scaled and rivers are run. _____40_____ We should all embrace our fear. Not the big fears that are life-threatening but the helpful fears that come in small doses.
A. Fear helps you succeed.
B. “Later” is never ensured.
C. Fear allows you to live life to the fullest.
D. They watch scary movies, ride roller coasters or go skydiving.
E. And every time you come through a challenge, you feel empowered.
F. Most of all, fear can be the birth place of change, creativity and innovation.
G. Actually, it’s nearly impossible to be thinking of your worries when you are experiencing fear.
【答案】36. D 37. G 38. C 39. B 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了适度的恐惧是有好处的
【36题详解】
根据上文“Feeling fear is fun and exciting. Many people scare themselves on purpose.(感到恐惧是有趣和令人兴奋的。许多人故意吓唬自己)”可知，有人喜欢恐惧的感觉，并故意找恐惧感。由此可知，D. They watch scary movies, ride roller coasters or go skydiving.(他们看恐怖电影，坐过山车或去跳伞)能够衔接上文，符合语境。其中They指代上文中的Many people。故选D。
【37题详解】
根据下文“A dose of fear is an “eraser” for the mind. (恐惧是大脑的“橡皮擦”)”可知，此处在讲述恐惧和人的心理有关。由此可知，G. Actually, it’s nearly impossible to be thinking of your worries when you are experiencing fear.(事实上，当你感到恐惧时，你几乎不可能想到你的忧虑)能够衔接下文，符合语境。其中impossible to be thinking of your worries对应上文中的“eraser” for the mind。故选G。
【38题详解】
根据下文“Being afraid of something can remind you of an area of your life that is limiting you. For instance, if you’re afraid of flying but face the fear and gather up the courage to step on an airplane, you can travel the world. Adding to your experiences means that you’ll create a varied life. You’ll also have fewer regrets.(害怕某件事可以提醒你生活中某个限制你的领域。例如，如果你害怕坐飞机，但面对恐惧，鼓起勇气登上飞机，你就可以环游世界。增加你的经历意味着你将创造一个丰富多彩的生活。你也会少一些遗憾)”可知，本段主要讲述了如何人们挑战内心的恐惧，做一些让自己害怕的事情，会丰富自己的经历，少一些遗憾。由此可知，C. Fear allows you to live life to the fullest.(恐惧能让你活得更充实)能够总起下文，作本段的主题句，符合语境。故选C。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Fear makes you realize that “now” is the only time you have to achieve and follow through what is most important.(恐惧会让你意识到，“现在”是你唯一需要实现和坚持最重要的事情的时间)”可知，恐惧会让你重视和抓住“现在”。由此可知，B. “Later” is never ensured.(“以后”永远不会得到保证)能够衔接上文，符合语境。其中Later对应上文中的now。故选B。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Some say where fear meets courage is the sweet spot in which mountains get scaled and rivers are run.(有人说，恐惧与勇气相遇的地方是攀登高山、奔流河流的最佳地点)”可知，此处在讲述恐惧给人带来的好处，且总结全文。由此可知，F. Most of all, fear can be the birth place of change, creativity and innovation.(最重要的是，恐惧可以成为变革、创造和革新的摇篮)能够衔接上文，同时引起下文“We should all embrace our fear. Not the big fears that are life-threatening but the helpful fears that come in small doses.(我们都应该拥抱我们的恐惧。不是危及生命的大恐惧，而是小剂量的有益恐惧)”符合语境。故选F。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。塑料袋随处可见，造成了极大的资源浪费和严重的环境污染，政府已经对此采取措施，作为学生也应该对此尽到自己的力量。文章对此进行了介绍。
【详解】1.考查定语从句。句意：塑料袋随处可见，造成了极大的资源浪费和严重的环境污染。在非限制性定语从句中缺少主语，且修饰句子，所以应用关系代词which。故将that改为which。
2.考查形容词。句意：塑料袋随处可见，造成了极大的资源浪费和严重的环境污染。修饰名词pollution应用形容词environmental表示“环境的”作定语。故将environmentally改为environmental。
3.考查介词。句意：幸运的是，政府已经在全国范围内禁止使用免费塑料袋，要求所有商店和超市不向顾客提供免费塑料袋。put a ban on意为“禁止”，所以此处应用介词on。故在ban后加on。
4.考查虚拟语气。句意：幸运的是，政府已经在全国范围内禁止使用免费塑料袋，要求所有商店和超市不向顾客提供免费塑料袋。demand意为“要求”，其后的宾语从句中应用（should）do虚拟语气，should可以省略，所以动词provide应用原形。故将provided改为provide。
5.考查名词。句意：这项规定无疑将减少塑料袋的使用，增强环保意识。此处作宾语应用名词awareness表示“意识”。故将aware改为awareness。
6.考查代词。句意：作为学生，我们应该尽自己一份力量来减少塑料袋的使用。句子主语为we，所以此处形容词性物主代词应用our表示“我们的”。故将your改为our。
7.考查固定搭配。句意：例如，我们最好在食堂吃饭，而不是用塑料袋带食物回来。had better do意为“最好做某事”，为固定搭配。故去掉have前to。
8.考查动名词。句意：例如，我们最好在食堂吃饭，而不是用塑料袋带食物回来。instead of doing意为“而不是做某事”，用动名词在介词of后作宾语。故将bring改为bringing。
9.考查副词。句意：我们也强烈提倡应该从现在开始改为使用布袋或购物篮。此处修饰动词作状语应用副词highly表示“极其，非常”。故将high改为highly。
10.考查名词。句意：我们也强烈提倡应该从现在开始改为使用布袋或购物篮。根据“we should turn to cloth bags or shopping baskets”可知，此处是指从现在开始，from now on意为“从现在开始”，所以此处应用名词now表示“现在”。故将then改为now。
