The “unity of man and nature(天人合一)” is necessary and important in the culture of China. The Chinese believe the unity of man and nature. They think it is a basic way of their philosophy(哲学) of life. Most 1 Chinese festivals build a right order of relationships among humans. They are 2 for nature by humans too.
The ancient Chinese never placed themselves above nature. Zhuangzi, 3, believed “Heaven and earth are parents to all things in the world”. The duty of nature is 4 birth to all things and let all things grow, while the duty of humans is to make all things perfect. Heaven, earth and humans should be one in unity. Each of the three 5 has its own way. They are necessary to each other, so they should treat each other with 6.
The idea of unity of man and nature has been in the heart of Chinese people. It encourages modern Chinese 7 action to protect the natural environment. In most provinces of China, some rules have been made to cut down 8. Many power stations that produce and provide 9 and clean electricity have been built. The power is from water, wind and sunlight. Most of the Chinese, 10 the young, are ready to protect the natural environment. China is now working with all other countries to make the earth a better place to live in.

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国“天人合一”的哲学思想及其在现代环保实践中的体现。
1. traditional 2. celebrated 3. for example 4. to give 5. parts 6. kindness 7. to take 8. pollution 9. safe 10. especially

【分析】
首先要通读全文，明确文章围绕中国“天人合一”的理念及现代环保实践展开，以此把握每个空的语境逻辑：
1. 第1空：需修饰名词“Chinese festivals”，要将名词“tradition”转换为形容词形式，来体现“传统节日”的语义。
2. 第2空：主语“They”指代节日，此处表达节日被人类为自然而设立庆祝，要用动词“celebrate”的被动形式。
3. 第3空：前文提出古代中国人的自然观，后文举庄子的观点为例，需用短语引出例证。
4. 第4空：自然的职责是孕育万物，要用到固定搭配“give birth to”，同时此处是不定式作表语，需用不定式形式。
5. 第5空：前文提到天、地、人三个主体，“each of the three”后要接名词复数形式，对应“part”的复数。
6. 第6空：“with”后需接名词，要将形容词“kind”转换为名词形式，表达“友善相待”的语义。
7. 第7空：“采取行动”是固定搭配“take action”，结合“encourage sb. to do sth.”的结构，要用不定式形式。
8. 第8空：“cut down”后接名词，要将动词“pollute”转换为名词形式，契合“减少污染”的环保语境。
9. 第9空：需修饰名词“electricity”，要将动词“save”转换为形容词形式，和“clean”并列体现电力的属性。
10. 第10空：要突出强调“年轻人”这个群体，需将形容词“especial”转换为副词形式来表强调。
【解析】
1. 空后是名词短语“Chinese festivals”，需形容词作定语，将名词“tradition”变为形容词traditional，表示“传统的中国节日”，符合语境。
2. 主语“They”指代节日，此处表被动含义“被庆祝”，将动词“celebrate”变为过去分词celebrated。
3. 前文提出观点，后文举庄子的例子佐证，用短语for example引出例证。
4. 固定搭配“give birth to”表示“孕育”，此处是不定式作表语，所以用to give。
5. “Heaven, earth and humans”是三个主体，“each of the three”后接名词复数，将“part”变为parts。
6. “with”后接名词，将形容词“kind”转化为名词kindness，“treat each other with kindness”表示“友善相待”。
7. 固定搭配“take action”表示“采取行动”，结合“encourage sb. to do sth.”的结构，用to take。
8. “cut down”后接名词，将动词“pollute”转化为名词pollution，表示“减少污染”，契合环保主题。
9. 空后是名词“electricity”，需形容词作定语，将动词“save”转化为形容词safe，和“clean”并列修饰电力。
10. 此处需副词突出强调“the young”，将形容词“especial”转化为副词especially，表示“尤其是”。

1. traditional

四、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后的表格里填入最恰当的单词，每个空格只填一个单词。
The Taklimakan Desert is the biggest desert in China. It is about 337,000 square kilometres. That’s as big as three Zhejiang provinces.
The sand here is light and soft. When strong winds blow, the sand flies, and the desert moves! It moves forward every year. The desert can cover roads, farms and even houses.
But now, we are working hard to stop it. In 2024, China finished a 3,046-kilometre green belt around the Taklimakan Desert.
How do we stop the sand?
Straw squares. We stick straws(插稻草) into the sand to make big squares. These squares help keep the sand in place. Trees and flower seeds can grow safely inside.
Sand barriers(沙障). We build 1-metre-tall walls with straws and wires(铁丝). These walls are like silent guardians(卫士) standing in the desert. When the strong desert winds blow, hitting these walls, their speed gets reduced bit by bit. The wind slows down, so it can’t carry and spread the sand as heavily as before. In this way, they play a key role in preventing sand from moving.
Tree planting. Trees and flowers grow roots deep into the ground as if they decide to hold the earth hard. As they grow deeper and thicker, they grow together, forming a strong underground system. Little by little, the roots hold the sand even harder, silently working to keep the land in place.
Solar energy. In the Taklimakan Desert, where sunshine is rich, we make good use of this natural treasure. We turn energy into power. Then, machines can take water from underground to water plants, helping them survive in this dry land. In this way, energy from the sun gives life to plants and brings hope to the desert.
Hardworking people. The Taklimakan Desert is not as “terrible” as before. Stopping the desert from becoming larger will take a long period of time. But as long as we keep working hard and never give up, we can make more parts of the desert turn green. Let’s take action to make our country more beautiful.

【分析】
解题前需先通读全文，明确文章主旨：本文介绍了塔克拉玛干沙漠的基本概况、扩张带来的危害，以及中国采取的多种治沙措施、治沙成果与未来呼吁。
解题时需按以下步骤进行：
1. 定位空格对应原文区域：根据表格中的提示信息（如“Sand barriers”“Tree planting”等板块），回到原文找到描述该内容的段落；
2. 匹配核心词汇：从原文中提取与空格语义匹配的单词，注意词性、形式的转换（如形容词变比较级、动词变原形等），确保每个空格仅填一个单词；
3. 验证逻辑合理性：填完后检查表格内容是否与原文逻辑一致，词汇是否符合语法要求。
比如第4题，根据“Sand barriers”板块的原文“their speed gets reduced bit by bit”，提取表示“降低”的动词原形，可填reduce/slow/lower；第8题根据原文“The Taklimakan Desert is not as ‘terrible’ as before”，转换为比较级形式less，体现现在沙漠没之前可怕。
【解析】
1. 根据原文“When strong winds blow, the sand flies”，描述沙漠的风的特征，填strong；
2. 表格该板块对应沙漠扩张带来的危害（覆盖道路、农田甚至房屋），属于沙漠引发的问题，填Problem；
3. 根据“Straw squares”部分的“These squares help keep the sand in place”，结合表格语境填keeping；
4. 根据“Sand barriers”板块的“their speed gets reduced bit by bit”，提取表示“降低”的动词，填reduce/slow/lower；
5. 根据“Tree planting”部分的“As they grow deeper and thicker”，描述树根的特征，填thick；
6. 根据“Solar energy”部分的太阳能转化为电力供设备使用的内容，可知太阳能是提供能量，填provide；
7. 根据原文“In 2024, China finished a 3,046-kilometre green belt around the Taklimakan Desert”，填finished/completed/built；
8. 根据原文“The Taklimakan Desert is not as ‘terrible’ as before”，转换为比较级形式less，填less；
