AnswerSheet2.32、青藏铁路是世界上最高最长的高原铁路，全长1956公里，其中有960公里在海拔4000多米之上，是连接西藏和中国其他地区的第一条铁路。由于铁路穿越世界上最脆弱的生态系统，在建设期间和建成后都采取了生态保护措施，以确保其成为一条“绿色铁路”。青藏铁路大大缩短了中国内地与西藏之间的旅行时间。更重要的是，它极大地促进了西藏的经济发展，改善了当地居民的生活。铁路开通后，愈来愈多的人选择乘火车前往西藏，这样还有机会欣赏沿线的美景。

众所周知，创造力对一个民族的进步至关重要，它是一个国家繁荣的持续动力。这对学生而言也是如此。在一个高度发达的社会，科学技术日新月异。因此，应该鼓励学生培养创造力，以跟上社会快速发展的步伐。

首先，创造力在学生的个人发展中扮演着重要的角色。在很大程度上，它对学术或事业的成功有很大的贡献。例如，那些富有创造力的人更可能在就业市场上占优势。更重要的是，创造力可以激发学生的想象力和潜力。正是创造力促使他们以更高效的方式做事，这转而促进了社会的进步。最后但同样重要的是，鼓励学生培养创造力也有利于他们的心理健康。当他们面对巨大的压力时，创造力有助于他们灵活地表达自己的感受和想法。

总之，基于上述原因，我们可以得出一个可靠的结论：当具有创造力的时候，学生们可以受益良多。创造力的重要性无论怎么强调也不为过。

1.Asweknow,creativityisessentialtoanation'sprogressandistheunceasingpowerofacountry'sprosperity.Andthesameistrueforstudents.Inahighlyadvancedsociety,scienceandtechnologyarechangingwitheachpassingday.Therefore,studentsshouldbeencouragedtofostercreativityinordertokeepupwiththerapidsocialdevelopment.

开篇指出创造力对民族和国家繁荣的重要性，接着指出其对学生也同样重要。最后点出应该鼓励学生培养创造力，以跟上社会快速发展的步伐。介词短语inorderto作目的状语，增强了文章的逻辑性。

本段围绕“应该鼓励学生培养创造力”这一论点展开论述，有三个论据支撑。论据一是创造力在学生的个人发展中扮演着重要角色；论据二是创造力可以激发学生的想象力和潜力，从而促进社会的进步；论据三是鼓励学生培养创造力也有利于他们的心理健康。firstandforemost,what'smore,lastbutnottheleast,itis...that等短语的使用使文章的逻辑更清晰，表达更流畅。

3.Inconclusion,basedontheaforementionedreasons,wecandrawasafeconclusionthatstudentscanbenefitalotwhentheyarecreative.Theimportanceofcreativitycan'tbeoverestimated.

最后一段重申了应该鼓励学生培养创造力的观点，做到首尾呼应。inconclusion增强文章的条理性。PartⅡListeningComprehension

SectionA

2、[解析]

空格前是主语和助动词Ithasbeen，空格后是介词短语byfear，由此可判断，此处为现在完成时的被动语态，因此空格处应填入一个动词的过去分词形式。符合语法条件的过去分词选项有driven(驱动)、engaged(占用；吸引；聘用)和tickled(使发瘁；使高兴)。

文章首句提及，保持社交距离正在导致人们失业、学校停课、股市暴跌。本句承接上文，说明这种状况的原因，即它是由恐惧所……，将符合语法条件的过去分词选项代入原文可知，driven符合语境，即“它是由恐惧所驱动的”，故本题应选C。

[参考译文]

保持社交距离正在导致人们失业、学校停课、股市暴跌。它是由恐惧所驱动的，而且随着花销问题和不确定性的增加，它正在制造更多的恐惧。然而，其核心是爱和牺牲，以保护最易受冠状病毒影响的人——老年人、免疫系统脆弱的人，以及那些挽救生命的资源即将被恶性流行病耗尽的人。

美国人每天都理所当然地做出拯救生命的决定。我们把食物切成一口就能吃的大小，系上安全带，注意不超速。但保持社交距离的独特之处在于它完全是自我牺牲的。那些将会受益的人可能是我们并未在星巴克、地铁或电梯里擦肩而过的任意一个人的老年亲属。

保持社交距离是数百万人为了让老人活下去而做出数百种牺牲。它不包括逃避社会的诱惑，也不包括找借口逃避自己的义务，比如挽救生命的医疗工作，或是采购食品杂货以尽为人父母的义务。它所包含的是通过谨慎行事来付出爱心。这样做为那些关心老人的人提供了一个绝妙的机会，去寻找新的方式来关爱这些老人。

如果我们在日常工作或学习中不投入那么多时间，那么我们就会有额外的时间给父母和祖父母打电话。我们也可以询问年长的亲属如何才能在精神上给予他们最好的支持，并把我们的牺牲当作一个机会，使我们、我们的社区和这个世界更亲近。3、[解析]

空格前是表示最高级的most，空格后是介词短语tothecoronavirus'effects，由此可知，空格处应填入一个能够与介词to搭配使用的形容词原级。备选项中的形容词原级有amazing(极好的，绝妙的；令人惊叹的)、engaged(忙碌的；被占用的)、malignant(恶性的；恶意的)、random(任意的，随机的)、unique(独特的)和vulnerable(易受伤害的)。4、[解析]

空格前是不定冠词a，空格后是名词epidemic(大流行病)，由此可知，空格处应填入充当定语的形容词或分词选项。符合语法条件的形容词或分词选项还剩下amazing、closer(更靠近的；更亲密的)、engaged、malignant、oppressing(压迫的)、random、thriftier(更节俭的)和unique。

本句破折号后面列举易受冠状病毒感染的人，包括老年人和免疫系统脆弱的人，那么这第三种人就应该是那些挽救生命的资源即将被“恶性”流行病耗尽的人，malignant意为“恶性的”，符合语境，故本题应选E。5、[解析]

空格前是系动词is，空格后是连词inthat(在于，由于)。由此可知，空格处应填入一个形容词或分词，充当表语。符合语法条件的形容词或分词选项还剩下amazing、closer、engaged、oppressing、random、thriftier和unique.

本段首先讲述美国人每天都很注意安全问题，即“美国人每天都理所当然地做出拯救生命的决定，我们把食物切成一口就能吃的大小，系上安全带，注意不超速”，本句以But开头，表示转折，可判断本句讲述的情况和上文是不同的，将符合语法条件的备选项代入原文，可知unique(独特的)符合此处语境，即“但保持社交距离的独特之处在于它完全是自我牺牲的”，故本题选N。6、[解析]

空格前为定冠词the，空格后为名词person，由此可知，空格处应填入充当定语的形容词或分词选项。符合语法条件的形容词或分词选项还剩下amazing、closer、engaged、oppressing、random和thriftier。

由前面的内容Thosewhowillbenefitmaybetheelderlyrelativesof可知，此处讲述哪类人会从大众的自我牺牲中受益，由下文person后省略关系代词的定语从句wedidn'tpassinStarbucks,onthesubway,orintheelevator可知，在星巴克、地铁或电梯中，人们经常会遇到陌生人，也就是“任意的”一个人，备选项中random“任意的，随机的”符合语境，即“那些将会受益的人可能是我们并未在星巴克、地铁或电梯里擦肩而过的任意一个人的老年亲属”，故本题应选H。7、[解析]

空格前是定冠词the，空格后是充当后置定语的不定式短语torunfromsocietyormakeanexcusetoavoidone'sobligations，由此可知，空格处应填入一个名词。符合语法条件的名词选项有premises(经营场所；办公场所)和temptations(诱惑)。

本段首句提及，保持社交距离是数百万人为了让老人活下去而做出数百种牺牲，而从本句开始，作者进一步说明这些牺牲包括什么、不包括什么。由空格后的不定式torunfromsocietyormakeanexcusetoavoidone'sobligations(逃避
