【答案】11. C 12. B 13. D
【原文】This isn’t a typical singing practice. And it’s not held in a traditional practice space. These singers are all
dealing with cancer, theirs or their loved one’s. Rosie Dow, who leads the singing groups at Tenovus Cancer Care in
the UK said, “There are people in our groups who are undergoing treatment right now. There are some people who
are waiting for treatment.”
Virtually, chorus members have said that singing loudly makes them feel good. But Dow and her colleagueswanted to see if that psychological effect might translate to a biological effect. So they selected five singing groups
in Wales—with a total of 193 singers—and took samples both before and after an hour of singing. They found that
singers had significantly lower levels of the stress hormone after singing together, along with an increase in
proteins called cell genes—which the researchers say might suggest a boost in immune activity.
It’s still not clear whether these biochemical changes translate to any better outcome for patients. And singing
practice is in addition to—not instead of— traditional treatments. Dow said, “We wouldn’t recommend it as an
alternative to surgery or any of the other traditional cancer treatments, but in terms of people’s mental health, this
might be a good complement to the treatment that they’re having.”

【答案】14. D 15. A 16. C
【原文】All around the world, for over 4,000 years, garlic has played many important roles in our daily lives.
Many countries grow garlic today, like China, Egypt, Spain, etc. Garlic originates from the desert region of Siberia,
where the summers are dry and hot. In order to survive, the wild garlic plant had to adapt to this harsh climate.
Garlic had to grow when there was moisture, in the spring and fall, and it also had to be able to survive without
water for the exceptionally dry summer and winter months. Once discovered by humans, it is no wonder that garlicquickly became important crop of almost every civilization in the world.
The ancient Egyptians fed it to slaves building the pyramids to increase their toughness. In ancient Greece and
Rome, garlic was claimed to have more uses such as treating dog bites. In the Middle Ages, soldiers returning to
Europe after faraway battles were generally credited with bringing garlic back with them, for it was thought to
prevent the epidemic. Garlic was so prized in ceremony and ritual, and it’s said that lambs offered for sacrifice in
China were seasoned with garlic to make them more pleasing to the gods.

W: Today we are talking about something we must all have an opinion on—it’s cinema manners. What do you think
it is?
M: I think it is what is the right way to behave when you go to see a film at the cinema.
W: You mean how we behave there is different from how we behave when we’re watching a film at home.
M: Yes, but some people seem to forget that, don’t they? Some people even treat the cinema like their own houses.

M: A new low was reached, as the woman in front of me gets the phone out...
W: Standard thing, such as sending messages that kind of stuff.

torch app on their phone, she proceeds to do her makeup during the movie!
W: That, my friend, is unbelievable!
M: It’s bad manners and I wonder why she even bothered going to the cinema.
W: Oh, I don’t think mobile phones at the cinema are a good idea.
M: When I go to see a film, all I want is a comfortable seat and to be able to see and hear the film. I don’t want
distractions!

well-behaved audience.

there in hopes of attracting new customers.

2023届上海市长宁区高三下学期二模
After five long years, it appears California’s drought is finally becoming less severe. ___41___ a recent string
of storms, more than a third of the state has now welcomed healthy precipitation (降水量), and California’s
snowpack—a(n) ___42___ source of water as the year progresses—has reached nearly twice its seasonal average in
some parts of the Sierra Nevada. That’s a dramatic improvement over last summer, when literally every inch of the
state ___43___ drought conditions. It’s also welcome news for Californians, who have faced a series of water
___44___ since Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency in early 2014. Farmers have been forced to
spend heavily to maintain production.The state’s water struggles, ___45___, are far from over. For one, nobody knows for sure how long these rains
will last. Although recent precipitation has been ___46___—in some places more than 80 inches—the accuracy of
storm forecasting remains ___47___ beyond a week. Californians know this all too well: last year, experts
projected a “Godzilla” El Niño that would bring record levels of precipitation. It never ___48___. “Will six weeks
from now be wet?” asks Jeanine Jones, California’s interstate water-resources manager. “The skill in that kind of
forecasting is just not there.”
___49___, a storm slowdown is a very real possibility—and it could leave California without enough water to
make it through the dry summer. ____50____, when that happens, the state has turned to groundwater stored in
natural rock formations deep beneath the earth’s surface. But those ____51____ remain used up after years of
drought; restoring them could take years in some places, says Jones.
The quick inrush of water has also created a(n) ____52____ balancing act for water managers. Keeping
surface reservoirs (水库) filled to the edge protects against the possibility of a sudden dry spell, but it also
____53____ the risk of flooding if and when future storms hit. To that end, water managers opened the Sacramento
Weir floodgates earlier this month to pour reservoir water into nearby fields after ____54____ showed local water
levels would likely continue to rise. That’s a calculation that will be made across the state in the coming months.
For now, though, Jones is focused on planning and ensuring the state’s water supply whatever may happen.
“We’re halfway through our wettest season, and conditions have been encouraging,” she says. “I would say we’re
____55____ optimistic.”

推测并不准确，其推测的创纪录的降水量并未出现。故选C项。
49考查短语辨析。句意：换句话说，风暴减缓是一种非常现实的可能性，它可能会使加利福尼亚州没有足
够的水来度过干燥的夏天。A. Or else要不然；B. In other words换言之；C. At that point 就在那时；D.
Above all总之。根据本句“a storm slowdown is a very real possibility—and it could leave California without
enough water to make it through the dry summer. (风暴减缓是一种非常现实的可能性，它可能会使加利福尼亚
州没有足够的水来度过干燥的夏天。)”可知，此处延续上文，继续描述对降水量的推测，即是换一种方式
说明上文提及的预测。故选B项。
50考查副词词义辨析。句意：历史上，当这种情况发生时，该州转向储存在地表深处天然岩层中的地下水。
A. Literally字面意思地；B. Contrarily反之；C. Historically在历史上；D. Consequently因此。根据本句
“when that happens, the state has turned to groundwater stored in natural rock formations deep beneath the earth’s
surface (当这种情况发生时，该州转向储存在地表深处天然岩层中的地下水。)”可知，此句描述的是以前发
生这种情况时的处理方法，即历史上的处理方法。故选C项。
51考查名词词义辨析。句意：但经过多年的干旱，这些储备仍然耗尽；琼斯说，在某些地方，修复它们可
能需要数年时间。A. levels 水平；B. formations 构成；C. struggles 挣扎；D. reserves 储备。根据上文
“Historically, when that happens, the state has turned to groundwater stored in natural rock formations deep
beneath the earth’s surface. (历史上，当这种情况发生时，该州转向储存在地表深处天然岩层中的地下水。)”
可知，以前发生干旱时，都会借助储存在地表深层的地下水，这是水储备的一种方式。故选D项。
52考查形容词词义辨析。句意：水的快速涌入也为水资源管理者创造了一种易被破坏的平衡行为。A.
random 随机的；B. delicate 易被破坏的；C. mechanical 机械的；D. insensible 无知觉的。根据下文“Keeping surface reservoirs (水库) filled to the edge protects against the possibility of a sudden dry spell, but it
also heightens the risk of flooding if and when future storms hit. (保持地表水库填充到边缘可以防止突然干旱的
可能性，但如果未来风暴来袭，也会增加洪水的风险。)”可知，水的快速涌入很容易破坏平衡，同时可能
造成干旱和洪水，即这种平衡很容易被破坏。故选B项。
53考查动词词义辨析。句意：保持地表水库填充到边缘可以防止突然干旱的可能性，但如果未来风暴来袭，
也会增加洪水的风险。A. heightens使变高，使加强；B. assumes认为；C. minimizes最小化；D. identifies
认出。根据本句前半句“Keeping surface reservoirs (水库) filled to the edge protects against the possibility of a
sudden dry spell (保持地表水库填充到边缘可以防止突然干旱的可能性)”可知，这能防止干旱的可能性，但
转折连词but说明下半句并列句与上文转折，即在提高防止干旱的可能性的同时也增加了洪水的可能性。
故选A项。
54考查名词词义辨析。句意：为此，在预测显示当地水位可能会继续上升后，水务管理人员于本月早些时
候打开了萨克拉门托堰的闸门，将水库水倒入附近的田地。A. restorations恢复；B. calculations计算；C.
conditions状况；D. projections预测。根据下文“That’s a calculation that will be made across the state in the
coming months. (这是未来几个月将在全州范围内进行的计算。)”可知，此处提及的未来几个月将会进行计
算就是一种预测。故选D项。
55考查副词词义辨析。句意：“我想说，我们谨慎乐观。”A. hopelessly无望地；B. extremely极其；C.
guardedly 谨慎地；D. cheerfully 开心地。根据上文“For now, though, Jones is focused on planning and
ensuring the state’s water supply whatever may happen. (不过，目前，无论发生什么，琼斯专注于规划和确保
该州的供水。)”可知，虽然目前状况令人鼓舞，但是琼斯表示还需专注于供水，故可知情况乐观但也需谨
慎对待。故选C项。

broad goals even in unplanned circumstances. One true example of such people comes from a woman passionate
about spreading happiness and helping others. Nicole Thornes is a mother, a former police officer, and now serving
society as a death doula.Believing small efforts could comfort individuals and unite society, Nicole thought a police officer had the
opportunity to prevent crime, bring justice and create a better society for everyone. She was determined to become

losing him; therefore, she decided to become a death doula and contribute her services to help those suffering from
the pain of losing their loved ones.

A notable highlight of the show was the real confidence of the
singing. Sam Hall was a joy to watch, with perfect comic timing, as was
Emma Williams, thoroughly believable and convincing in her role. These
two young talents stole the show, in my opinion. The only disadvantage
is appointments were the dancing, which showed a lack of originality, and
the opening scene, which fell a little flat. Despite the occasional technical
flaws, this was a highly enjoyable and greatly impressive production,
which the company should be proud of.
I was really looking forward to Jonathan Baker’s latest, which is set
in an imagined, but realistic, London of the scar future. But I found this
new effort was act down by the slightly one-dimensional characterization,
and the writing is below standard for the most part : some of the early
scents between Martha and her husband are slightly boring. The superb
characterization and ambition that baker demonstrated in his previous
novels seem to be missing here. Baker’ commitment to describing the
lives of ordinary people is admirable, but the whole thing is lacking in
energy.
This is episode number three in the nearly twenty-year-old series,
delivering a very attractive and interesting story and loads of comedy.
There is some strong writing and voice acting, but the new episode
chooses to go for a linear (线性的) narrative, with some puzzle included
along the way, which is less involving than the theme of exploration and
conversation which previous episode have depended on. Besides, the
puzzle are not particularly engaging, and many of them have been seen
before in other adventure games. The visuals are extremely impressive, of
course, as we have come to expect, this time featuring venues in
Catalonia. But overall, a slight disappointment.
60. The underlined phrase “ stole the show ” most probably means______.
A. disappointed the producer B. ruined the whole performance
C. attracted the most attention D. exhibited excessive confidence
61. Which of the following statements about Jonathan Baker is TRUE ?
A. He excels in one-dimensional characterization.
B. His novels center around ordinary people’s lives.
C. His novels show consistent super characterization and ambition.
D. He is passionate about presenting realistic images of future London.62. The puzzle in episode number three______.
A. are integrated in the narrative B. arc appealing to the audience
C. deal with the theme of exploration D. are absent in other adventure games
【答案】60. C 61. B 62. A
【解析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要是对一场表演、一个作家以及一部剧集的评价。
60词句猜测题。根据第一部分“Sam Hall was a joy to watch, with perfect comic timing, as was Emma
Williams, thoroughly believable and convincing in her role.(山姆·霍尔是一种观看的乐趣，有着完美的喜剧时
机，艾玛·威廉姆斯也是如此，她在她的角色中完全可信和令人信服)”可知，这两个年轻人因为其表演吸引
了最多的注意，故画线词意思是“吸引了最多的注意”。故选C。
61细节理解题。根据第二部分“Baker’ commitment to describing the lives of ordinary people is admirable, but
the whole thing is lacking in energy.(贝克致力于描述普通人的生活，这是令人钦佩的，但整件事缺乏活力)”
可知，B选项“他的小说以普通人的生活为中心”正确。故选B。
62细节理解题。根据第三部分“There is some strong writing and voice acting, but the new episode chooses to
go for a linear (线性的) narrative, with some puzzle included along the way, which is less involving than the theme
of exploration and conversation which previous episode have depended on.(有一些强大的写作和配音，但新章节

Research into language learning and motivation has changed direction over the past two decades, shifting from
what are now considered overly-simplistic models of motivation, such as “integrativeness” (where students are
motivated to learn an L2 because they wish to join a community that speaks this language) and “instrumentalism”
(where motivation comes from a desire for financial or some other sort of return). Motivation to learn has now been
linked to a second-language identity, which is not conceptualised as static, but dynamic, shifting and open to
change. Some research studies have focused on investment in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)
settings in English-speaking countries: how students invest in the target language in order to get certain returns, not
only financial but also related to status, an idea which Bonny Norton Peirce notes as having been borrowed from
the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. There is also growing research in the area of “future selves” and language learning,
such as that by Zoltán Dörnyei and Ema Ushioda and by Jill Hadfield.
Studies into second language identity have revealed the investment committed to building up an identity inEnglish in the lives of economic migrants (移民) and those choosing to settle long-term in English-speaking
countries. David Block conducted research into economic migrants living in London, revealing how they invest
through study opportunities, seeking out locals to speak to, or using English in work. Each of his case studies
reveals different features and patterns in these subjects’ lives.
Yet it is also true that second-language identity formation is alive in EFL (English as a Foreign Language)
contexts, if I may draw a distinction from the ESOL further-education context (in the UK and the US). In an age of
globalisation and internationalisation, the role of English has come into much sharper focus, and such a changed
global reality poses new questions about motivation to learn. Dörnyei argues that we are now dealing with “global
English”, and that its acquisition is related to building up “a global identity”. I put the case that international
English language examinations, such as those offered by Cambridge English, are a powerful symbol of cultural
capital, offering returns full of imagery and entry to imagined communities. Imagined communities, it has been
argued, are imagined personal networks of the future, whether social, professional or even international. Investment
and the motivation to learn can spring from the desire to belong to these imagined communities. How this imagery
and investment relates to their own students should be something that teachers become familiar with.
63. The word “static” (in paragraph 1) is the closest in meaning to ______.
A. unchanging B. movable C. identified D. focused
64. Which of the following is the new motivation for learning English according to the passage?
A. To plan for a brighter future abroad.
B. To contribute to increasing globalization.
C. To establish a second-language identity.
D. To expect substantial investment returns.
65. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.
A. teachers may have no idea about their students’ needs
B. the motivation to learn English changes with the times
C. imagined communities are most likely to be exclusive
D. English competence testing is a gateway into new contexts
66. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. An investment in language studies
B. A question of second-language identity
C. An access to ESOL and EFL
D. A debate about motivation to learn【答案】63. A 64. C 65. B 66. B
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。学习动机现在已经与第二语言身份认同联系在一起，第二语言身份是动态的，
文章主要阐述了不同背景下第二语言身份研究结果以及作者自己的观点。
63词句猜测题。根据第一段中“static”所在句子“Motivation to learn has now been linked to a second-
language identity, which is not conceptualised as static, but dynamic, shifting and open to change.(学习动机现在
已经与第二语言身份认同联系在一起，第二语言的身份不是static，而是动态的，不断变化的，随时可以
改变)”可知“static”与“dynamic, shifting and open to change(动态的，不断变化的，随时可以改变)”意思相反。
由此可知“static”意思为“静态的，不变的”，与unchanging意思相近。故选A。
64细节理解题。根据第一段中“Motivation to learn has now been linked to a second-language identity, which is
not conceptualised as static, but dynamic, shifting and open to change. Some research studies have focused on
investment in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) settings in English-speaking countries: how

言中投资以获得一定的回报，不仅是经济回报，而且与地位有关，Bonny Norton Peirce指出这一想法是从
社会学家Pierre Bourdieu那里借来的)”可知，学习动机现在已经与第二语言身份认同联系在一起，构建第
二语言身份是学习英语的新动机。故选C。
65推理判断题。根据第三段中“In an age of globalisation and internationalisation, the role of English has come
into much sharper focus, and such a changed global reality poses new questions about motivation to learn. Dörnyei
argues that we are now dealing with ‘global English’, and that its acquisition is related to building up ‘a global

English, are a powerful symbol of cultural capital, offering returns full of imagery and entry to imagined
communities. Imagined communities, it has been argued, are imagined personal networks of the future, whether
social, professional or even international. Investment and the motivation to learn can spring from the desire to
belong to these imagined communities.(在全球化和国际化的时代，英语的作用变得更加突出，而这种变化的
全球现实对学习动机提出了新的问题。Dörnyei认为，我们现在面对的是‘全球英语’，而获得这种英语
与建立‘全球身份’有关。我认为，国际英语考试，如剑桥英语提供的考试，是文化资本的有力象征，提
供了充满意象的回报和进入想象社区的入口。有人认为，想象中的社区是未来想象中的个人网络，无论是社交网络、专业网络还是国际网络。投资和学习的动机可以来自于加入这些想象中的社区的愿望)”可知，
全球化和国际化使英语的作用变得更加突出，而这种变化的全球现实对学习动机提出了新的问题。由此推
知，学习英语的动机是随着时代而变化的。故选B。
66主旨大意题。根据第一段“Research into language learning and motivation has changed direction over the
past two decades, shifting from what are now considered overly-simplistic models of motivation, such as
‘integrativeness’ (where students are motivated to learn an L2 because they wish to join a community that speaks

语言身份联系在一起，第二语言的身份不是静态的，而是动态的，不断变化的，随时可以改变)”可知，建
立第二语言身份是学习英语的新动机；第二、三段针对第二语言身份研究结果的详细介绍。由此可知，本

As a botanists who studies our cultural relationship with plants, I am forever fascinated with what draws
people to gardening.
Admittedly, connecting with the natural world might seem like an obvious motivation, and undoubtedly it is a
key part of the attraction.___67___ If they were, we’d abandon any attempts at design, planting or care and watch
how walls of weeds slowly gave way to the mass of bushes. But that wouldn’t be gardening, of course, because for
all their diversity, the one thing that all gardens have in common is how unnatural they are.___68___ Dazzling
plants, watch features and glorious blooms is all interconnected well beyond what would naturally occur. Whether
it is green lawns created in the driest deserts or a tropical paradise on a stormy North Atlantic island, they are all
about shaping the natural world to fit our idea of what it “ should” be.
As I work on my tiny terrariums (玻璃花园) on dark February nights, something magical happens to my
brain. ___69___ In a world that has become increasingly uncertain, people are often fuelled by the samepsychological desire: the instinctive need to have a bit of control amid chaos.
As our world becomes more and more unpredictable and often frightening, gardening seems to be able to
appeal to and reach out to a whole new generation, often against all odds.
Of course, gardening in’ t the only thing people turn to. The rise of culture conflicts and fix at ion on body
image have also been widely documented as being driven by a psychological need to feel a degree of certainty,
control and safety. However, I can’t help but think of these alternatives: ___70___
A. In reality gardens are anything but natural.
B. What are the things they have been attracted to?
C. They are idealized landscape with all the mud, pests and dead plants edited out.
D. How much better a place the planet would be if gardening was our outlet for this need!
E. Much like agriculture, gardening is a universal human desire coded into our cultural DNA.
F. The calmness created by owning a tiny green space under my control has a powerful effect on my mind.
【答案】67. A 68. C 69. F 70. D
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们从事园艺工作的原因以及园艺的作用。
67根据上文“Admittedly, connecting with the natural world might seem like an obvious motivation, and
undoubtedly it is a key part of the attraction.(诚然，与自然世界联系似乎是一个明显的动机，毫无疑问，这是
吸引力的关键部分)”以及后文“If they were, we’d abandon any attempts at design, planting or care and watch
how walls of weeds slowly gave way to the mass of bushes.(如果是这样，我们就会放弃任何设计、种植或护理
的尝试，看着一堆堆的杂草慢慢地让位于大量的灌木丛)”可知，后文提到放弃花园的设计，花园就会变得
杂草丛生，可见花园不属于自然的一部分，需要人工维护。故A选项“实际上，花园一点也不自然”符合
语境，故选A。
48根据上文“But that wouldn’t be gardening, of course, because for all their diversity, the one thing that all
gardens have in common is how unnatural they are.(但这当然不是园艺，因为尽管花园种类繁多，但所有花园都有一个共同点，那就是它们多么不自然)”可知，本句旨在指出花园的不自然之处：去掉了所有的泥土、
害虫和枯死的植物，是理想化的景观。故C选项“去掉了所有的泥土、害虫和枯死的植物，是理想化的景
观”符合语境，故选C。
49根据上文“As I work on my tiny terrariums (玻璃花园) on dark February nights, something magical happens
to my brain.(在二月的夜晚，当我在我的玻璃花园工作时，我的大脑发生了一些神奇的事情)”以及后文“In
a world that has become increasingly uncertain, people are often fuelled by the same psychological desire: the
instinctive need to have a bit of control amid chaos.(在一个越来越不确定的世界里，人们经常受到同样的心理
欲望的刺激：在混乱中有一点控制的本能需求)”可知，本句旨在说明料理花园给作者的思想带来怎样的感
受。故F选项“在我的控制下，拥有一个小小的绿色空间所创造的平静对我的思想有强大的影响”符合语
境，故选F。
50根据上文“Of course, gardening in’ t the only thing people turn to. The rise of culture conflicts and fix at ion on

certainty, control and safety. However, I can’t help but think of these alternatives(当然，园艺并不是人们唯一的
选择。文化冲突的兴起和对身体形象的执着也被广泛证明是由一种心理需求驱动的，这种心理需求需要感
受到一定程度的确定性、控制感和安全感。然而，我忍不住想到了这些选择)”可知，上文提到人们需要感
受到一定程度的确定性、控制感和安全感，结合文章主要论述的是园艺，可知园艺可以满足这一需求。故
D选项“如果园艺是我们满足这一需求的出口，地球将是一个多么美好的地方啊！”符合语境，故选D。

Is Binge-watching the New Addiction?
Have you ever loved a TV show? I mean really loved it? Like, you can’t wait to get to work to talk about it?
What about the cliffhanger? That’s the unsolved situation at the end of the episode which makes you want to watch
the next one. But, when will the next one be?
Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show quickly. With developments in the
speed and connectivity of the internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies,
people can now have their favourite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.
However, this amazing gift may in fact be harmful. Recent research from British media watchdog Ofcom (英
国通信管理局) finds that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a showback-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have
neglected their housework. Next we’ll be missing work!
Bingeing has other connections — binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking, all of which are often
associated with compulsive behaviour, a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. If people find binge-
watching hard to resist, coupled with the fact that it has shown to lead to failure of attention in many, are we
witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?
The numerous information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would
say, a good thing. However, like any behaviour done to extremes, it can become dangerous. And when the activity
begins to enter other areas, causing us to stop functioning — then it becomes a problem. So, what’s the answer?
Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, a little of what you fancy does
you good.

假日”短语为in holiday seasons。为一般现在时。故翻译为It’s difficult to book a room in many popular hotels
in holiday seasons.
53. 我们在那场足球赛中的失利是众多因素共同作用的结果。(contribute) (汉译英)
【答案】A combination of factors contributes to our loss in the football game.
【解析】考查固定短语和时态。表示“……的结果”短语为 a combination of，后跟名词factors，作宾语；
表示“共同作用”短语为 contribute to；表示“在那场足球赛中的失利”翻译为 our loss in the football
game。为一般现在时。故翻译为A combination of factors contributes to our loss in the football game.54. 为了避免在检票口排长队，他提早很久到达了机场。(before) (汉译英)
【答案】He arrived at the airport well before the flight/the plane took off to avoid long queues at the checking
desks.
【解析】考查固定短语和时态。主语为 he，表示“到达了机场”arrive at the airport well；before引导时间
状语从句，表示“飞机起飞前”应用 the flight/the plane take off；表示“避免在检票口排长队”翻译为
avoid long queues at the checking desks，为不定式作目的状语。故翻译为He arrived at the airport well before
the flight/the plane took off to avoid long queues at the checking desks.
55. 非盈利机构是我们社会的重要组成部分，为有需要的人提供服务，帮助他们重拾生活的信心。(need)
(汉译英)
【答案】The non-profit institution is an important part of our society, providing services for those in need and
(thus) helping them restore confidence in life.
【解析】考查非谓语动词，名词和固定短语。分析句意可知，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，
“非盈利机构”是 the non-profit institution，此处用单数表泛指，其后用 is，“我们社会”是 our
society，“……的重要组成部分”是an important part of，“为有需要的人提供服务，帮助他们重拾生活的
信心”用现在分词作状语，“为某人提供某物”是provide sth. for sb.，“服务”是service，要用复数，
“有需要的人”是those in need，“帮助某人做某事”是help sb. do sth.，“重拾生活的信心”是restore
confidence in life，动词provide和help与逻辑主语The non-profit institution是主动关系，应用现在分词作状
语，翻译为“providing services for those in need and (thus) helping them restore confidence in life”。故答案为
The non-profit institution is an important part of our society, providing services for those in need and (thus) helping
them restore confidence in life.
