24、示“为了确保你能早到, 给自己额外的时间在早上做好准备, 然后前往你的目的地。”承接下文, F项切题。故选F。 2. C。此空是小标题, 须用短小精悍的祈使句, 在A/C/D中选。再根据下文内容“在影响你的新角色和破坏微妙的办公室生态系统之间找到合适的平衡是很困难的。”由此可知, C项切题。故选C。 3.

26、动词形式。此处表示目的,故用不定式。故填to improve。5.than考查连词。根据关键词less可知,填比较连词。故填than。6.pollution考查名词。has decreased后跟名词作宾语,故填pollution。7.global考查形容词。fertilizer consumption是名词短语,故应该用形容词修饰。故填global。8.started考查谓语动词。本句是when引导的定语从句,由于时间是2005年,故用过去时。故填started。9.that/which考查定语从句关系词。根据空后的谓语动词gives可知,该空缺少主语,指代program并且引导后面的句子。指物用that/which。10.feeding考查省略句。空格处表示正在进行的动作,while后面省略掉了China is。省略句的原则:在时间状语从句、条件状语从句、让步状语从句中,如果从句的主语和主句的主语一致且含有be动词时,那么可以把主语和be动词一块省略。故填feeding。第13页（共13页）
