5．（10分）Usually we breathe without thinking about it.But do you know we can actually change the way we breathe as we like？We breathe in two different ways：chest （胸部） breathing

and belly （腹部） breathing.We usually use chest breathing when exercising.So we can see our chest moving upwards （向上） and outwards.If we keep using chest breathing，it can put our body under stress.（1） Well，what is belly breathing？

When we breathe in，our diaphragm（横隔膜）moves down and air moves into our lungs（肺），which pushes our organs（器官）in the belly down and forces our belly outwards.（2） Air moves out of our lungs.Our belly moves upwards helping let fee air out of our lungs. A growing number of studies suggest that belly breathing could help to have less stress and pain.

（3） After you lie comfortably on the floor with head supported and knees bent，follow the following steps.

（4） It will get bigger as you breathe in，and it will get smaller as you breathe out.Now，place your hand on your belly，breathe in slowly through your mouth，and feel it getting bigger.Hold your breath and count to three.Then breathe out slowly through your mouth.You can repeat this exercise a few times till you feel relaxed and calm.（5）

A.It relaxes and moves up when we breathe out. B.Imagine your belly is a balloon （气球）. C.Next time you're stressed，try it!

D.Unlike chest breathing，belly breathing is an exercise that people can practice to relax. E.Here is a fun and simple exercise that you can learn easily.

第7页（共23页）

fall at the depth of 1，600 meters in the South China Sea.（1）As far as we know，this is the first time for China to find this kind of special ecosystem. So far，less than 50 modern natural whale falls have been found by humans around the world.

（2）The whale fall is really important to deep﹣sea animals，as it provides food for them. Usually，the whale fall goes through three stages （阶段）.The first stage comes just after the whale's death.As well as the whale dies，many marine animals will come to eat its body.This stage can last for months.At the second stage，smaller animals come for the whale's bones and leftovers （残留物）.This stage can last one or two years.Bacteria （细菌） play an important role in the third stage，（3）because they are able to turn the rest of the whale into useful things to the sea.（4）但是这个阶段能持续长达100年。

The whale fall found in the South China Sea is 3 meters long.It is still in the first stage.The scientist will spend a long time in studying the whale fall to understand the deep﹣sea ecosystem better.

9．（10分）When a whale dies，its big body will fall to the bottom（底部） of the sea and a special deep﹣sea ecosystem（生态系统） will be formed in a long time.Scientists give a name to this：

第20页（共23页）

the whale fall （鲸落）.

Recently，some scientists on a Chinese research ship called Tansuo﹣1 found a whale fall at the depth of 1，600 meters in the South China Sea.（1）As far as we know，this is the first time for China to find this kind of special ecosystem. So far，less than 50 modern natural whale falls have been found by humans around the world.

（2）The whale fall is really important to deep﹣sea animals，as it provides food for them. Usually，the whale fall goes through three stages （阶段）.The first stage comes just after the whale's death.As well as the whale dies，many marine animals will come to eat its body.This stage can last for months.At the second stage，smaller animals come for the whale's bones and leftovers （残留物）.This stage can last one or two years.Bacteria （细菌） play an important role in the third stage，（3）because they are able to turn the rest of the whale into useful things to the sea.（4）但是这个阶段能持续长达100年。

The whale fall found in the South China Sea is 3 meters long.It is still in the first stage.The scientist will spend a long time in studying the whale fall to understand the deep﹣sea ecosystem better.

People always say that one whale falls，everything lives.（5）这提醒我们要保护鲸鱼而不是杀害它们。Don't forget that whales are in great danger，and they need our help.

（1） 据我们所知，这是中国首次/第一次发现这种特殊的生态系统。 （2） 鲸落对深海动物十分重要，因为它为它们提供食物。 （3） 因为他们能将鲸的剩余物转化为对海洋有用的物质/东西。 （4） But this stage can last as long as 100 years.

（5） This （It） reminds us to protect whales rather than kill them. This （It） reminds that we should protect the whales rather than kill them. This （It） reminds us that we should protect the whales instead of killing them.

第21页（共23页）

【解答】（1）据我们所知，这是中国首次/第一次发现这种特殊的生态系统。英译汉。题干中\"As far as we know\"是固定搭配，译为\"就我们所知\"；主句使用了句型\"this is the first time for sb to do sth\"，表示\"这是某人第一次/首次做某事\"；\"find this kind of special ecosystem\"译为\"发现这种特殊的生态系统\"。故答案是：据我们所知，这是中国首次/第一次发现这种特殊的生态系统。

（2）鲸落对深海动物十分重要，因为它为它们提供食物。英译汉。分析句式，题干是连词as引导的原因状语从句，as译为\"因为\"；主句主语\"the whale fall\"译为\"鲸落\"；谓语是固定搭配\"be important to\"，表示\"对……很重要\"；\"deep﹣sea animals\"译为\"深海动物\"；从句谓语是固定搭配\"provide sth for sb\"，表\"为某人提供某物\"。故答案是：鲸落对深海动物十分重要，因为它为它们提供食物。

（3）因为他们能将鲸的剩余物转化为对海洋有用的物质/东西。英译汉。分析句式，题干划线部分是原因状语从句部分，连词because译为\"因为\"；谓语动词\"be able to\"表示\"能够做某事\"；题干使用了固定搭配\"turn...into...\"结构，表示\"把……变成……\"；\"the rest of the whale \"译为\"鲸的剩余物\"；\"useful things to the sea\"译为\"对海洋有用的物质\"。故答案是：因为他们能将鲸的剩余物转化为对海洋有用的物质/东西。

（4）But this stage can last as long as 100 years.汉译英。分析句式，题干是表转折的句子，用but引导；主语\"这个阶段\"译为\"this stage\"；谓语\"能持续\"译为\"can last\"；\"长达100年\"译为\"as long as 100 years\"。故答案是：But this stage can last as long as 100 years.

（5）This （It） reminds us to protect whales rather than kill them./This （It） reminds that we should protect the whales rather than kill them./This （It） reminds us that we should protect the whales instead of killing them.汉译英。根据语境，题干谓语\"提醒\"可以用于固定结构\"remind sb to do sth\"（提醒某人去做某事）或\"remind+that从句\"；\"保护鲸鱼\"译为\"protect whales\"；\"而不是做某事\"可以译为\"rather than do sth\"或\"instead of doing sth\"；\"杀害它们\"译为\"kill them\"。故答案是：This （It） reminds us to protect whales rather than kill

Firstly，we can make a list of things our parents and we disagree about most.Try to find out the reason why we disagree with each other.【高分句型一】Accept each other's ideas little by little if we have different ideas.If we still have disagreements，we'd better not get too angry.【高分句型二】（把最不同意的事情列一张单子，试着找出彼此不同意的原因，不要太生气）Secondly，we should talk with them more!Sharing ideas can make us closer.（应该多和家长谈谈，分享想法可以让我们更亲近）Besides，we should also learn how to really listen.Listening is a skill that must be learned and practiced.（学会倾听）Finally，be sure to be polite.We are a family in which everyone is loved and cared for.（一定要有礼貌，我们是一个家庭，每个人都受到爱和照顾）
