Make a Wish List
Most of us know of New Year’s Resolutions, where one sets intentions for the year ahead. But too often,
people make their resolutions ____11____ — “I will no longer eat biscuits left at my desk”— and then feel
unhappy. In the cold month of January, the last thing you need is to ____12____ your energy further by setting up a
series of battles with yourself. And if you break a resolution, you feel ____13____, which is a rubbish way to start
the year. What you need instead are things to look forward to.
So instead, try a wish list. This involves writing down 100 things you would like to do in the year ahead. The
items can be enormous or tiny, ranging from “Climb Everest” to “buy a new pencil sharper”. The main thing is that
at some point it has ____14____ to you as something that you would like to do.
The key here is — write it down.
Do you feel any resistance to the ideas? If so, ask yourself why. What is wrong with ____15____ what you
would like to do? Try not to say to yourself: “I can’t I don’t have the money/time/energy/skills.” Just write it down.
It helps to be ____16____, so rather than “Get outdoors”, ____17____ a place you would like to visit. And
take your time when creating it — a wish list is not built in a day. Think about it, polish it and ____18____ it.
Finally, you have your list. And what a work of beauty it is. Here are all the things that you would like to do.
Remember to ____19____ them up where you can see them; let yourself consider how they can be accomplished.
You’ll be amazed that so many of your dreams can be realized though the simple trick of writing them down and
_____20_____ to them.

This past July was the hottest recorded month in human history. Heat waves smashed temperature records
worldwide and even brought summer temperatures to Chile and Argentina during the Southern Hemisphere’s
winter. It’s more than just a matter of sweaty discomfort. In the U.S. alone, it kills more people each year than
floods, tornadoes and hurricanes combined. As climate change worsens, access to ____21____ cooled spaces is
rapidly becoming a health necessity.
Yet standard air-conditioning systems have ____22____ us in a vicious cycle: the hotter it is, the more people
use the AC—and the more energy is used as a result. Nicole Miranda, an engineer researching sustainable cooling
at the University of Oxford says: “it’s not only a vicious cycle, but it’s a(n) ____23____ one.” According to 2018
data from the International Energy Agency (IEA), the worldwide annual energy demand from cooling is
第 8 页 共 35 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V:
jiajiao6767 )
____24____ to more than triple by 2050.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that humans cannot outrun climate change with the same air-conditioning
technology we’ve been using. One well-known problem with current AC systems is their reliance on refrigerant
____25____, many of which are potential greenhouse gases. About 80 percent of a standard AC unit’s climate-
warming emissions currently come from the energy used to ____26____ it, says Nihar Shah, director of the Global
Cooling Efficiency Program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Standard air-conditioning systems ____27____ cool and dehumidify through a relatively inefficient
mechanism: in order to condense water out of the air, they overcool that air past the point of comfort. Many new
designs therefore separate the dehumidification and cooling processes, which avoids the need to overcool.
Even with some of the best technologies available, the gains in ____28____ alone might not be enough to
offset the widely expected increase in air-conditioning use. It will not work to simply replace every ____29____ air
conditioner with a better model and call it a day. Instead, a truly cooler future will have to ____30____ other
strategies that rely on urban planning and building design to minimize the need for cooling in the first place.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。刚刚过去的七月达到了人类历史记录的温度新高,全球气候变化也愈演愈烈,
人们对空调的依赖甚至逐渐成为生存需求。文章对目前空调使用的恶性循环做出分析,想要更加凉爽的未

来仍需良策。
【21题详解】
考查副词。句意:随着气候变化加剧,达成人工的凉爽空间的途径正迅速成为一种健康需求。空处修饰形
容词cooled,考虑副词,在首段交代的气候变化愈演愈烈的背景下,下文主要围绕空调的使用展开,此处
应搭配artificially一词,表达“人为制冷空间”,即对应空调环境。应填artificially,故选K。
【22题详解】
考查时态。句意:然而空调系统已经把我们困在一个恶性循环中:天气越热,越多的人就会使用空调,结
果就要用掉更多的能源。空处与助动词have构成现在完成时,需要动词的过去分词。由空后出现的
vicious cycle及关于其的具体解释可知,此处指空调的使用让人们陷入了恶性循环难以破局。应填
trapped,故选H。
【23题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这不仅是个恶性循环,而且是个正在加速的循环。根据下一句中“the worldwide
annual energy demand from cooling is 4 to more than triple by 2050”可知,全世界每年用于制冷的能源需
求预计会在2050年前达到现在的三倍,此处要表达的就是空调使用的恶性循环同时也在加剧的过程中。
应填accelerating,故选E。
【24题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:根据国际能源署(IEA)2018年的数据,全世界每年用于制冷的能源需求预计会
在2050年前达到现在的三倍。这里是对未来情况的预估,应用短语be projected to表示“预计,计划
于”。应填projected,故选G。
【25题详解】
考查名词。句意:现在的空调系统一个众所周知的问题是对制冷剂的依赖,制冷剂有许多都是潜在的温室
气体。该句中使用了非限制性定语从句,由关系代词部分many of which推知先行词为refrigerant+空处,
再结合定语从句的内容即对先行词的解释“potential greenhouse gases”可知,这里要表达“制冷所用的化
学制品”。应填chemicals,故选D。
【26题详解】
考查动词。句意:空调单位的温室气体排放有大约80%来自于用以驱动空调的能量。由句意推知,空后的
it代指前面的a standard AC unit,该句叙述空调系统排放的温室气体的来源,整个used to 6 it作energy
的后置定语,显然指为空调供给动力的能量。应填power,故选I。
【27题详解】
考查副词。句意:空调系统通过一种相对低效的机制同时实现冷却和除湿。空后是并列的两个谓语动词
cool和dehumidify,该句在解释空调的工作机制,此处应指同时实现了冷却和除湿。应填simultaneously,
第 10 页 共 35 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V:
jiajiao6767 )
故选J。
【28题详解】
考查名词。句意:即使现在有了一些先进的科技加持,仅在效率单方面的进展也许也不足以跟上空调使用
的预期增长。空前句子“Even with some of the best technologies available”给出了前置条件,即使用上了最
先进的技术,该句则表达转折的句意,即技术革新使空调在效率上获得收益,但单凭这一点这不足以弥补
空调使用的预期增长。应填efficiency,故选A。
【29题详解】
考查形容词。句意:仅仅给每一台现有的空调换上更好的模型就到此为止是不会奏效的。结合前句中的描
述,空调技术在发展,效率在提高,但空调的使用增加得更快,这里提出的做法“will not work”,即指给
“现有的”所有空调更新换代。应填existing,故选F。
【30题详解】
考查动词。句意:相反,一个真正凉爽的未来将不得不采用其他策略,那些依靠城市规划和建筑设计将制
冷需求最小化放在第一位的策略。分析句子可知,空处在情态动词have to后,需要一个动词原形,其宾
语为other strategies,应用employ表达“应用,运用(策略)”。应填employ,故选B。

In 1968 a grave dating from about 1100 was uncovered near Hattula, in Finland, Little remained of the
occupant’s skeleton, but the inhumation included two swords and a knife. Such grave goods would normally
suggest said occupant was a man. The skeleton was, ___46___ also decorated with brooches (胸针) and woollen
clothing of types more usually worn at the time by women. This ___47___ guess that the burial was actually of a
powerful woman, possibly a local ruler in her own right rather than just the wife of a male king.
This would be noteworthy enough. But a re-examination of the remains, just published in the European
Journal of Archaeology by Ulla Moilanen of the University of Turku and Elina Salmela of the University of
Helsinki, suggests the truth may be yet more ___48___. Ms. Moilanen and Dr Salmela suspect that the individual
___49___ may have had outward characteristics of both a man and a woman.
In 1968 working out the ___50___ of a skeleton in an ancient grave was tricky. After years of deterioration,
the bones of men and women look pretty much ___51___. But that was before the use of DNA became possible. So
Ms. Moilanen and Dr Salmela thought it worth trying again.
Most people have two sex chromosomes (染色体): XX in women and XY in men. Find DNA from a Y-

chromosome in a skeleton and the chances are the body was ___52___. And, looking at a fragment of femur
brought to her by Ms. Moilanen, who is the archaeologist in the ___53___, Dr. Salmela, who is the geneticist, did
indeed find such DNA. But not much of it. That led her to wonder about contamination (污染), but also to consider
whether the individual in the grave had had a(n) ___54___ X-chromosome that was swamping the signal from the
Y.
Having an abnormal number of sex chromosomes is rare, but not vanishingly so. The particular ___55___
XXY leads to what is known as Klinefelter’s syndrome. To determine the occupant’s karyotype (染色体组型)
from the tiny amount of DNA available, Dr. Salmela drew ___56___ with living people. The grave delivered 8,329
pieces, so she used a computer to draw samples of similar size from the genomes of living people with various
karyotypes, including XXY, and also from mixtures of both sexes, to ___57___ contamination. She then compared
these with the DNA from the grave and ___58___ it was 99.75% probable the individual concerned had indeed had
Klinefelter’s syndrome.
While Dr Salmela was working all this out, Ms. Moilanen and her team had another look at the grave. They
confirmed that it was a ___59___ burial. For instance, they found evidence of fine furs, probably from foxes.
Clearly, this was a well-respected human being, but what led to that ___60___ in a world then dominated by male
values is a matter of puzzle. Perhaps the person came from a family powerful enough for such things not to matter.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose
the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Earlier this year I took a trip to England and France to go see some friends. It was a wonderful trip; I really
loved it. But one thing that struck me was how different these cultures are from our own. I guess this would strike
any traveler because that is the first thing you notice and it is what makes travel so exciting. Of course, these
cultures are also similar to ours in many respects, but it’s the differences that really stand out.
One of the things that struck me in particular was the different attitudes towards smoking. As you know,
there’s a growing anti-smoking sentiment in Europe. However, when I went to England and France, I got a new
perspective on this issue. People seem to smoke anywhere and everywhere, even though anti-smoking signs are all
over public places. On the radio, I heard about a member of the World Cup soccer team who smoked. And people
were actually saying, “Well, he should not be on the team because he’s a bad example for our children.” I think, if
they want to look at bad examples for their children, they should just go out on the street, or go into the subways, or
look in the mirror, even, because so many of them are smoking in very inappropriate places. I visited a restaurant
buffet in London and saw an English woman scooping up the food with a lit cigarette in her hand. Smoke rising
into the air. Actually, when I talked to English people later, they were pretty shocked too, and they said that
smoking in a restaurant is rude even by British standards.
This did not give me a bad impression of English people. It gave me, on the contrary, a positive feeling toward
American smokers. There are a lot of American smokers who will proclaim their right to smoke whenever they
want, but they will follow the rules, generally, because they have consideration for nonsmokers. So this experience
in Europe gave me more of a respect for this kind of smoker.
61. What surprised the writer during his trip to England and France?
A. The wonderful trip to England and France.
B. Cultural differences that he noticed during his trip.
C. Similarity between cultures stands out more than differences.
D. Growing anti-smoking views in Europe.
62. What did the speaker find in England and France about the smoking issue?
A. People discuss the smoking issue on the radio.
B. Smokers are allowed to smoke anywhere and anytime.
C. People are encouraged to smoke in inappropriate places.
D. Many smokers pay no attention to the “No Smoking” signs.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者到欧洲旅游时见到的欧洲烟民,特别是英国和法国烟民对吸
烟的态度,他们无视禁烟标识,不顾他人感受,这让作者对美国烟民有了积极的评价。
【61题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But one thing that struck me was how different these cultures are from our own.(但
有一件事让我震惊,那就是这些文化与我们自己的文化是多么不同。)”可知,作者在英国和法国旅行时,
他在旅途中注意到的文化差异使他感到惊讶。故选B项。
【62题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“People seem to smoke anywhere and everywhere, even though anti-smoking signs are
all over public places.(人们似乎在任何地方和任何地方吸烟,尽管公共场所到处都是禁烟标志。)”可知,关
于吸烟问题,说话者发现在英国和法国许多吸烟者不在意“禁止吸烟”的标志。故选D项。
【63题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前“anti-smoking(反吸烟)”和下文“However, when I went to England and France, I got
a new perspective on this issue. People seem to smoke anywhere and everywhere, even though anti-smoking signs
are all over public places.(然而,当我去了英国和法国后,我对这个问题有了新的看法。人们似乎在任何地方
和任何地方吸烟,尽管公共场所到处都是禁烟标志。)”可知推知,“anti-smoking”是欧洲民众对吸烟的一
种态度或情感,与下文的现实状况“People seem to smoke anywhere and everywhere”形成对比,构成转折。
所以sentiment与feeling同义,意为“看法,情绪”。故选A项。
【64题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“There are a lot of American smokers who will proclaim their right to smoke
whenever they want, but they will follow the rules, generally, because they have consideration for nonsmokers. So
this experience in Europe gave me more of a respect for this kind of smoker.(有很多美国吸烟者会宣称他们有随
时吸烟的权利,但他们通常会遵守规则,因为他们考虑到不吸烟者。所以在欧洲的经历让我对这种吸烟者
产生了更多的尊重。)”可知,作者尊重那些尊重他人感受的的吸烟者。故选B项。

w onderful book that will give you insight into the life of one of the most
memorable American leaders.
Don’t Read it For:
This series is a biography and strictly a work of non-fiction. It is reading
about the life of a person and might get boring for some.
An interesting yet strange book, this piece of writing is not an attempt to
shed light on the life of Jefferson but rather an attempt to understand his mind.
Jefferson was one who spoke something but did the complete opposite of it.
Read it For:
This book tries to analyze Jefferson’s life but does not do it in a way that
American Sphinx
criticizes him or idolizes him. This National Award winning book perfectly
balances the act of examining someone’s acts and general behavior and trying to
figure out the reason behind his contradictory statements and acts.
D on’t Read it For:
If you are searching for a book about Jefferson’s life, this is not for you. It
covers a few events of his life, not his entire life.
This Political Biography by Meacham takes you on a journey into the world
that Jefferson lived in and saw it through his eyes. It shows how Jefferson formed
the world around him and handled situations and people to shape the American
political system as it is today.

The Art of Power
Read it For:
The depth with which this book is written is commendable. It is noted that
the work done by Meacham in this book puts you inside Jefferson’s head and
makes you understand what it would be like to be Jefferson.

What will the development of quantum computers (量子计算机) mean for our civilizations? Oh sure, better
cryptography (密码方式), “more powerful” processing, but bottom line, we just don’t know...yet.
This phenomenon isn’t unique to quantum computing, of course. It’s something we see time and again with all
new world-changing technology. In some ways, it’s how we can define a technology as world-changing: everyone
agrees it’s going to be hugely important, but nobody can predict exactly what impact it will have.
The internet remains the classic example. Although invented in the 1960s, even by the late 1990s, the internet
was still being dismissed as something that is fashionable but unlikely to last. Most commentators thought it
nothing more than a curiosity.
There’s a famous 1999 interview between David Bowie and BBC journalist Jeremy Paxman. In it, Bowie
predicts that the internet will change the nature of music, and remove the “barriers between creator and audience”.
The longer he spoke, the more Paxman said in anger that Bowie could possibly believe this about the internet.
To be fair to Paxman, in 1999, internet at home meant accessing it over a modem. Concepts like WeChat and
Netflix and more simply could not work over such limited bandwidth. But there were still some people who
assumed that bandwidth would increase and that streaming music and video would be possible soon enough. They
were laughed at.
Oddly enough, as the dot-com boom intensified, many turned from doubters to hopeless optimists, and lost

serious money building websites to deliver content that simply couldn’t “fit” down the inter-tubes of the day.
Then in the second decade of the 21st century: critical mass. Bandwidth increased massively. Forget showing
a nice little video in your browser, today Netflix can serve you a TV show in 4K, as long as you have 25Mbps
connection.
Quantum computing isn’t a consumer technology, of course. It’s a much bigger deal than that. Quantum
computing is more like the invention of the transistor (电子晶体). Sure, most people have heard of it, but few
understand it. Actually, we don’t even really understand it. But we’re reasonably comfortable that when a lab has
that many scanning electron microscopes, it must be doing something important, right?
Quantum computing is still at the stage of “hit it with a hammer until it works”. Sure the hammer is
microscopic, and also a laser or magnetic field of some kind, but the point is we’re going through the process of
turning the idea into reality.
Sooner than you think, though, qubit-based computers are going to get applied to stuff. What stuff? Like
always, it will be super secret stuff first. Then it will reach the rest of us.
This is how the world begins. Not with a bang, but with a lot of extremely hard work behind the scenes.
68. What attitude did most people take towards the internet in the 1990s?
A. Optimistic. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Defensive.
69. The example of the internet is intended to illustrate that ______.
A. it is hard to define what is world-changing technology
B. the internet was universally acknowledged as important
C. the influence of new technology is usually unpredictable
D. the internet inspired many debates in the following years
70. By “hit it with a hammer until it works”, the writer means that quantum computing ______.
A. has been questioned B. has been fully understood
C. hasn’t been heard of before D. hasn’t been applied to practice
71. What can be concluded about new technology from the passage?
A. Its development is a gradual process. B. Most is the brainchild of a scientist.
C. Not all is accessible to the public. D. Its future is often a top secret.

Living off grid
When you need electricity, you just plug in the machine and switch it on. If you need water, you turn on the
tap. ____72____ For many people, these facilities are the basics of civilized society and the idea of living without
them seems risky. Yet for a growing number of people, the idea of living off grid — without electricity, water or
sewage — is an increasingly attractive lifestyle.
Off-gridders do not have to give up electricity or a modern lifestyle — some choose to, but most use small
hydroelectric power systems, solar panels or windmills to generate enough power for their needs. Heating and
cooking needs are met by solar energy or wood burning systems, and toilet facilities range from non-water toilets to
outside compost toilets. ____73____ It ranges from traditional yurts (a type of tent) to luxury house with high-
speed internet and central heating. Whether they live in simple homes or luxury houses, what they all have in
common is that their lifestyles do not create any pollution or carbon emissions — the ultimate goal for off-gridders.
Around 100,000 people are thought to be living off grid in the UK now. ____74____ They grow their own
food, home-school their children and provide their own medical care. They are people who have been priced out of
the housing market or who have grown disillusioned with what modern society can offer and who decides that an
alternative lifestyle isn’t a pipe dream, but a viable option.
A part from living an alternative lifestyle, cost is a big factor in choosing to live off-grid. Off-grid houses are
far cheaper to build than ordinary homes since they don’t need to be connected to the electricity or water supplies
and even road access is not necessary. Materials tend to be cheaper, too. Popular options include straw or old tyres
and cement.
Surprisingly, the biggest problem off-gridders face is not building their homes or becoming self-sufficient but
getting permission to build. Rural areas away from town are the perfect choice but these are often protected by law
from construction of any kind or have building restrictions. There are now several websites dedicated to land-
sharing so that the costs of buying land and getting permission can be shared, and there are increasing numbers of
off-grid communities. ____75____ Off-gridding could soon be common all over Europe and America.
A. Many are self-sufficient, not just providing their own electricity, water and sewage systems, but in all aspects.

B. After you use the toilet, you flush it and the waste disappears.
C. This shift from individual to group off-gridding reflects the fact that the trend is growing noticeably.

E. Living off-grid still has a long way to go before it becomes a mainstream way of living.

Robot Chef Learns to Twirl (旋转) Pizza Like a Pro
Pizza has a proud history of fueling late-night lab work, and scientists in Naples—an Italian city famous for its
pizza—have easy access to some of the world’s tastiest take-out. But what inspires engineer Bruno Siciliano is not
that first bite ___76___ much as how the dish is made.
“Preparing a pizza involves an extraordinary level of agility and dexterity (敏捷和灵巧),” says Siciliano, who
directs a robotics research group at the University of Naples Federico Ⅱ. Stretching a deformable object like a lump
of dough (面团) requires an accurate and gentle touch. It is one of the few things humans can handle, but robots
cannot—yet.
Siciliano’s team ___77___ (develop) a robot able to make a pizza pie. RoDyMan (short for Robotic Dynamic
Manipulation) is a five-year project ___78___ (support) by a €2.5-million grant from the European Research
Council. Like a human chef, RoDyMan must throw the dough into the air to stretch it, ___79___ (follow) it as it
spins and anticipating how it will change shape.
RoDyMan has been working this spring toward a milestone: stretching the dough ___80___ tearing it. To
guide the robot, Siciliano’s team asked master pizza chef Enzo Coccia to wear a suit of movement-tracking sensors.
“We learn [Coccia’s] motions, and we copy them with RoDyMan,” Sciliano says.
RoDyMan uses visual sensors in its head to track the dough in real time. Using software, it can train ___81___
to handle the pizza like a chef would. The robot ___82___ (map) the dough’s position and tracks how it moves.
Through practice, the robot ___83___ get better—much like humans develop “muscle memory.” Researchers hope
RoDyMan’s technology can lead to a new generation of robots that will perform tasks in ways ___84___ are
accurate and responsive, if not more lifelike.
Yet Siciliano admits that _____85_____ compares with a traditional chef. “I would never eat a pizza made by
a robot,” he says. “It would not have the taste a real pizzaiolo, with his soul, would put in it.”

Talking to your therapist over Zoom is as helpful for anxiety and depression as going to in-person therapy.
The virtual session, moreover, can be delivered at lower costs, according to a new study conducted in the U.K.
Online therapy has become more and more prevalent since the COVID pandemic, ____86____ lockdowns
forced lots of therapists online. The new study suggests that one of the biggest benefits of virtual therapy
____87____ be that it can allow people to get treatment faster, which increases their quality of life and reduces the
amount of additional medical care they require.
“The actual cost of mental health care doesn’t come from treating these conditions ____88____ from not
treating them,” says co-author Ana Catarino.

The paper is likely to “make a big splash” because the authors showed that the success of the virtual CBT
program was linked to the fact that it provided patients with a therapist’s guidance every step of the way.
It’s not surprising that virtual therapy works well, says Haim Weinberg, a licensed psychologist. Studies
outside the U.K. have found the same, he says. But there is still some bias ____92____ virtual therapy as somehow

96. 这家餐馆规定,每季度更换一次菜单,以吸引更多顾客。(appeal)(汉译英)
【答案】This restaurant has a policy of changing its menu every quarter to appeal to more customers
.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、动词。表示“这家餐馆”含义的表达为:this restaurant;表示“规定”含义的表达
为:have a policy of,后跟动名词;表示“更换菜单”含义的表达为:change its menu;表示“每季度”含
义的表达为:every quarter;“以吸引更多顾客”在句子中做目的状语,使用动词不定式,根据括号内提
示,表示“吸引”含义的词为:appeal to;表示“更多顾客”含义的表达为:more customers,因句子表达
的是一个客观情况,谓语动词使用一般现在时,因主语this restaurant为单数且为第三人称,谓语动词使用
单数第三人称形式,故本句翻译为:This restaurant has a policy of changing its menu every quarter to appeal to
more customers.
97. 青少年在和同龄人互动时往往能接触到新想法。(expose)(汉译英)
【答案】Teenagers are exposed to new ideas when interacting with peers
.
【解析】
【详解】考查省略句。“青少年”翻译为teenagers;“与同龄人互动”翻译为interact with peers;“接
触”根据所给词expose可知,应表达为be exposed to;“新想法”翻译为new ideas。根据句意可知,“在
和同龄人互动中”可用when引导时间状语从句when they are interacting with peers,主从句主语一致且从
句谓语中含有be动词,从句可省略“主语+be”,且此句陈述事实,应用一般现在时,故翻译为:
Teenagers are exposed to new ideas when interacting with peers.
98. 学习策略因人而异,取决于很多因素,最重要的是奏效。(matter v.)(汉译英)
【答案】Learning strategies vary from person to person and depend on many factors, and the most important thing
is whether they work.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词、动词、时态、表语从句。分析句子可知,全句可以处理为“学习策略因人而异,取决
于很多因素”和“最重要的是奏效”两个并列分句,用并列连词and连接。第一分句中主语“学习策略”
用learning strategies,学习策略很多,所以用复数名词;谓语用动词用vary,意为“呈现差异”,vary from
person to person,意为“因人而异”,“取决于”是并列谓语动词,用动词短语depend on,宾语“很多因
素”用many factors;陈述客观事实,谓语动词都用一般现在时态。第二分句中主语“最重要的(事情)”

用the most important thing;主语是单数名词,一般现在时态,系动词用is;表语“奏效”应理解为“是否
奏效”,处理为表语从句whether they work,连词whether引导表语从句,意为“是否”,谓语动词work意
为“是否”。综上, 全句译为:Learning strategies vary from person to person and depend on many factors, and
the most important thing is whether they work.

it will not be long before we suffer the consequences.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型、从句和时态。句子陈述目前事实,应用一般现在时;“毫无疑问”使用固定句型There
is no doubt that,“不管人类文明有多么发达”使用 no matter how 引导的让步状语从句,“发达”使用
developed,“人类文明”使用human civilization,译为no matter how developed human civilization is,“如果
生态平衡被打破”使用if引导的条件状语从句,译为if the ecological balance is broken,“过不了多久”表
将来,应用一般将来时,使用固定句型it will not be long before,“我们就会自食其果”位于before引导的
时间状语从句中,应用一般现在时表将来,译为we suffer the consequences。故翻译为There is no doubt that no
matter how developed human civilization is, if the ecological balance is broken, it will not be long before we suffer
the consequences.
