—Yes. It will be worse we take further action to do something for it.

A.unless
B.since
C.if
D.though

9. A 【点拨】根据语境可知如果不采取行动就会更糟,空后是否定的条件,用 unless 引导条件状语从句。故选 A。

【分析】
首先理解对话语境：一方遗憾疾病目前仍很可怕，另一方回应“____我们采取进一步行动，情况会更糟”。需判断空格处连词的逻辑关系，分析各选项含义：unless意为“除非，如果不”，引导否定条件；since意为“自从，因为”；if意为“如果”，引导肯定条件；though意为“虽然”，引导让步。结合语境，此处需表达“不采取行动就会更糟”的否定条件，因此选unless。
【解析】
第一步：分析句子逻辑。对话中后句表达“情况会更糟”的前提是“不采取进一步行动”，属于否定条件关系。
第二步：辨析选项。A项unless（除非，相当于if not）符合否定条件的逻辑；B项since（自从/因为）、C项if（如果，肯定条件）、D项though（虽然，让步）均不符合语境逻辑。
因此正确答案为A。
【答案】A
【知识点】条件状语从句、连词辨析
【点评】本题考查连词在条件状语从句中的应用，需结合语境判断逻辑关系，掌握unless的含义及用法即可轻松解题，属于基础题型。

A.Until
B.Since
C.If
D.Unless

10. C 【点拨】根据语境可知,此处表示“如果”有人感到太多的生态焦虑,它可能会变成一种恐惧。故选 C。

【分析】首先明确句子的逻辑关系：前半部分“有人感到太多生态焦虑”是后半部分“它会变成一种恐惧”的假设条件，需选择引导条件状语从句的连词。逐一分析选项的含义和用法，排除不符合逻辑的选项，确定正确答案。
【解析】句子表达的是“如果有人感到太多生态焦虑，它可能会变成一种恐惧”，是条件关系。A选项Until意为“直到”，引导时间状语从句，不符合；B选项Since意为“自从；因为”，引导时间或原因状语从句，不符合；C选项If意为“如果”，引导条件状语从句，符合语境；D选项Unless意为“除非”，相当于if not，代入后逻辑与原句相反，不符合。因此选C。
【答案】C
【知识点】条件状语从句、连词辨析
【点评】本题考查连词的用法，需结合句子逻辑关系判断合适的连词，属于基础题型，难度适中。

The book Hero is about 4 teenage boy named Sean, who is sentenced(判决) to work on a horse farm. But its 5 (end) is not clear. With no sequel(续集), students imagined what would happen to Sean and asked Rottman about it. The answer they received was “It is good for you to create your own ending.”
Caitlynne Sheppard was one of the 6 (student) who were happy with the answer. “7 the writer didn't give us a clear ending in the book, it would still leave us trying to imagine what might happen next in our mind,” Sheppard said.
In fact, the video talk is just part of the school's yearly reading project, which started last November. Students not only had to finish 8 (read) the book Hero, but also needed to interview “heroes” around them.
