	A．	to prevent； being polluted		B．	to preventing； being polluted
	C．	to prevent； polluting		D．	to prevent； polluted

分析考查动名词，句意：如果我们想要拯救我们的家园，我们应该更加注意阻止地球被污染．

解答答案B，在固定搭配"pay attentuon to"中to为介词，后跟动名词，所以第一个空用动名词，earth和pollute之间是被动关系所以第二个空用动名词被动．

点评要分清to到底是不定式的符号，还是介词．

19．Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity （名人） chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver，according to a report from Oxford University．
The effect of the celebrity role models，who have given cooking a more manly picture，has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961．
According to the research by Prof．Jonatahn Gershuny，who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford，men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking，up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961．
Prof．Gershuny said，"The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend．There has been 40yars of sexual equality，but there is another 40years probably to com．"
Women，who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking，now sped just one hour and seven minutes-a great fall，but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men．
Some experts have named these men in aprons as"Gastrosexuals （men using cooking skills to impress friends）"，who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay，Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall，Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd．
"I was married in 1974．When my father came to visit me a few weeks later，I was wearing an apron when I opened the door．He laughed，"said Prof．Gershuny．"That would never happen now．"
Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week，even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table．Prof．Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table-with many"family meals"in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room，and shared by family members．"The family meal has changed a lot，and few of us eat-as I did when I was a child-at least two meals a day together as a family．But it has survived in a different format．"

9．Over the last 70 years．researchers have been studying happy and Unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference．Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes．However of all the factors，wealth and age are the top two．
Money can buy a degree of happiness．But once you can afford to feed，clothe and house yourself，each extra dollar makes less and less difference．
Researchers find that，on average，wealthier people are happier．But the link between money and happiness is complex．In the past half-century，average income has sharply increased in developed countries，yet happiness levels have remained almost the same．Once your basic needs are met，money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends，neighbors and colleagues．
"Dollars buy Status（社会地位），and status makes people feel better，"conclude some experts，which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways-scientists or actors，for example-may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs．
In a research，Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires-not just for money，but for friends，family，job，health-rose furthest beyond what they already had，tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap（差距）．Indeed，the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone．"The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income，"says Michalos．
Another factor that has to do with happiness is age．Old age may not be so bad．"Given all the problems of aging，how could the elderly be more satisfied？"asks Professor Laura Carstensen．
Why are old people happier？Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it，or they're more realistic about their goals，only setting ones that they know they can achieve．But Carstensen thinks that with time running out，older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don't．
"People realize not only what they have，but also that what they have cannot-last forever，"she says．"A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85，for example，may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20．"

A．has little to do with wealth
B．increases gradually with age
C．is measured by desires

16．Visiting the city when you are six months pregnant and have a two-year-old girl can be really（61）challenging（challenge）．One spring afternoon，we went to one of the grocery stores nearby to buy some food for dinner．There was no sign of rain，and the store was just around the corner，so we went there（62）withoutan umbrella．However，we were about to leave the store （63）when the rain came in full force．It seemed that the streets would be flooded（64）by/withwater within minutes．
I noticed a young Chinese couple staring at （65）us （we） when we came to a crossroads and were waiting for the light to change．I figured they were probably wondering （66）whya pregnant foreigner was dragging her little kid out through the rain．But as we crossed the street，（67）the woman offered me her umbrella．I told her I couldn't take it when it was clearly starting to storm．She insisted，（68）handed （hand） it to me and hurried off with her husband．
Though caught in the rain （69）unexpectedly（expect），we still treasured the memory and will always recall the （70）friendliness（friend） and kindness of the Chinese couple．

13．He has forgiven（原谅）the wrongs I have done to him．

15．Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame，we often do everything possible to avoid it．"We're taught from our earlist days that if you quit something．It means you're a failure，"says counseling psychologist Will Meek．He，however，suggests we view quitting differently．
Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room：you've grown comfortable with the status，and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary．And yet，there's the upsetting feeling that you're no longer entirely satisfied with your current circumstances，perhaps even that you've stopped making progress．While it's not out of the question for feeling or regret to surface after a major refit，leaving a position，project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities，making you feel inspired and renewed．
Quitting，often happens in situations where we're unhappy，fearful or have determined we have no other choice，factors that can have opposing effects on our health．Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling，or you've jumped into a new relationship before you're ready-and，as a result，you're operating under intense pressure．"If stress is enduring and not managed well，it can start to take a toll．"says Meek．According to the American Psychological Association，long-term，ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack，so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benefits．"We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol（应激激素皮质醇），which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate，"says Dr Alex Lickerman，a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability．
Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heart is truly leading you．In a study that was published in 1999，then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets-someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers，for instance，was asked to take on personal interactions．Subjects were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future solves through‘imitation strategies'-an approach they compared to‘trying on different clothes，'Mark Franklin，the president of CareerCyles，suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self．"Pretend to be a certain kind of person，or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do．"he says，"Try it on，see how it feels and decide if it's a good fit for you．"It may not feel like it at the time，but just moving on from a situation that's not quite right can help you get back on track．

63．It can be inferred from paragraph 2that quitting may bring us feelings of being bothC．
A．guilty and ashamed
B．stupid and enthusiastic
C．troubled and hopeful
D．inspired and determined
64．The phrase"take a toll"（paragraph 3）can be best replaced by"D"．
A．develop mental adaptability

A．helping people find what truly suits them in career
B．telling capable employees from inadequate ones
