解析：
此句为“将来完成时”，表示将来某一时间以前已经完成或一直持续的动作。句子中的“By the time he retires”表示将来的时间点，而“will have been”是将来完成时，表示到将来某个时间点之前已经完成的状态或动作。因此，正确答案为B。
8、The pipe in the kitchen is broken. We should have it______as soon as possible.
A、to be repaired
B、repaired
C、to repair
D、repairing
解析：
句子中的关键词是"have it"，这是一个使役结构，表示"让某事被做"，所以应该用过去分词形式表示被动和完成。选项B “repaired” 是过去分词形式，符合语法规则，表示应该尽快让人修理管道。因此，B是正确答案。
9、 Every time I met her, she would show her concern______me and my family.
A、against
B、on
C、from
D、for
解析：
句子中的关键词是"show her concern"，这是一个固定短语，表示"表示关心"。而关心对象是"me and my family"，因此需要使用介词"for"来表示关心的对象。选项D是"for"，符合语境和语法规则，是正确答案。
10、Mary demanded that he______the books he borrowed from her a month ago.
A、return
B、would return
C、returned
D、had returned
解析：
句意：玛丽要求他把一个月前从她那里借的书还给她。demand后接宾语从句时，从句谓语一般要用虚拟语气，即“demand (that) sb．(should) do sth．”，因此选项A“return”是正确的选择。
11、 We have to accept the fact______there is a shortage of qualified teachers in the countryside.
A、that
B、which
C、since
D、because

A、how
B、what
C、when
D、where
解析：
句意：这个城市有足够多的夜校。不管年龄多大，成年人都可以接受教育。根据句意和选项，空格处需要一个副词引导让步状语从句，表示年龄的大小，因此选项A how符合语境，表示“无论多大”。其他选项如what、when、where都与句意不符。因此答案为A。
13、Those______are willing to help others are likely to be popular among people.
A、whose
B、which
C、who
D、what
解析：
句子中的those需要一个定语从句来修饰，而定语从句中主语为愿意帮助别人的人，即先行词是人，因此需要使用关系代词who来引导定语从句。因此正确答案为C。
14、Many young people have stopped______newspapers because they read the news online now.
A、buy
B、to buy
C、bought
D、buying
解析：

A、so that
B、except that
C、in that
D、such that
解析：
这句话说的是：苏西的经历很不寻常，因为她在短短一个月内游历了20个国家。根据句意可知，这里需要一个引导原因状语从句的连词，表示“因为”。选项C “in that” 是一个常用的引导原因状语从句的连词，符合句意。所以选C。

Pain is an emotional as well as physical response to injury or disease. Intense fear and anxiety arevital immediate responses that cause you to avoid sources of pain whenever possible. Sometimes,however, pain persists even when the injury or disease is no longer present. A painful feeling canbecome associated with constant stress, bad.memories, or lasting fear.
Medicine is often essential for controlling pain in the short term, but taking painkillers (止痛药)for an extended period can lead to addiction (上瘾) or serious physical side effects, including stomachand liver diseases. Your body may also build up a tolerance to a drug so that you get less benefit from itas time goes on.
Although you should always seek medical advice if pain is severe or continues for a long time, youcan also use techniques to control it. Mind-body techniques can reduce or help control pain--with norisk of side effects. Most people relax with deep, controlled breathing to reduce the tension that comeswith pain. Try lying quietly in a dark room; breathe in deeply while counting to 10, hold the breath fora moment, and then exhale slowly for a count of 10. Continue this for 10 -20 minutes.
Shifting your attention often reduces pain' s severity (严重程度). Try turning your attention awayfrom the painful area, focusing instead on a non-painful part of your body. Or, imagine the pain as a bigball of energy outside your body, and make it smaller in your mind. Train yourself to replace thethoughts like "I can't stop this pain," with positive ones such as "This pain is only temporary. "
In this practice, you merely acknowledge the pain by actively fighting it, instead of allowing it todominate your thoughts.
22、Which of the following is people' s natural response to pain?

Sweden is aiming for a zero-waste society. This takes the country' s recycling revolution one stepfurther--from putting rubbish in landfills (废物填埋场), to recycling to reusing.
It is early morning. Before 31-year-old Daniel Silberstein goes to his office, he has separated outhis empty cartons (纸箱) into the containers in the shared basement. It is just some of the two tons ofrubbish he and his fellow Swedes recycle per person each year.
"The thing about recycling is that it' s quite automatic. It' s basically a thing you naturally do,"Silberstein says.
"A big part of it is thinking about what kind of environment our daughter is going to have in thefuture. I am a kid of the 1990s and not recycling is kind of abnormal for us, but for my daughter' sgeneration it will hopefully go even further. She already thinks it' s fun to push the cartons into therecycling station when I take her there."
The main problem today is that many used products are hard to deal with. A new movement isgaining ground that seeks to ensure everything can be reused somehow. In 2017 the Swedish governmentreformed the tax system so that people could get cheaper repairs on used goods, and a Swedish clothingcompany operates a recycling project where customers get a discount upon handing in old clothes.Meanwhile, scientists are working on finding new clothing materials that are less damaging to theenvironment.
For Daniel Silberstein and his daughter Charlie, the future begins at home. "Friends shouldn't " "Inthrow rubbish on the ground, Charlie says, and her dad agrees: the future we' 11 look at the oldstyle of recycling the way we look at fossil (化石) fuels and landfill sites today. It will all seem crazy. "
23、What is the main reason for Silberstein to practice recycling?
A、To protect the environment.
B、To save more money.
C、To obey the local rules.
D、To follow his fellows.

In the UK，the government has launched a campaign to cut down on the salt people eat．The UK Food Standards Agency argues that nearly half of the UK’s population eat too much salt—9．5 9 a day onaverage．Its aim is to bring down the average t0 69 a day．The idea is to cut the salt content in 85 keyfood categories such as bread．meat．and cakes．
