It was a cld night in Washingtn, D.C., and I was heading back t the htel when a man apprached me. He asked if I wuld give him sme mney s he culd get smething t eat. I’d read the signs: “Dn’t give mney t beggars as mst f them are swindlers.” S I shk my head and kept walking.
I wasn’t prepared fr a reply, but with n hesitatin, he fllwed me and said, “I really am hmeless and I really am hungry! Yu can cme with me and watch me eat!” But I kept n walking.
The incident kept bthering me fr the rest f the week. I had mney in my pcket and it wuldn’t have killed me t hand ver a dllar r tw even if he hadn’t been a real beggar. On a freezing cld night, n less, I assumed the wrst f a fellw human being.
Flying back t Anchrage, I culdn’t help thinking f him. I tried t reasn my failure t help by suppsing gvernment agencies, churches and charities were there t feed him. Besides, yu’re nt suppsed t give mney t beggars.

We didn’t keep recrds back then, but the idea began t take ff. Flks wuld fax me r call when they tk smething in. It’s fd fr the spirit and cmfrt fr my cnscience.
In April 1995, the Garden Writers Assciatin f America(GWAA) held their annual meeting in Anchrage and after learning ur prgram, Plant a Rw fr Bean’s became Plant a Rw Fr The Hungry. The idea then was t have every member write r talk abut planting a rw fr the hungry, which brught the prgram t natinal attentin.
As mre and mre peple participated, new variatins crpped up. Many cmpanies gave free seeds t custmers and displayed the lg fr the prgram. Dnatins pured in. It was then that I culd really stp feeling guilty.

根据上文“Mre than ne-third are in such bad shape that they culd die within ten years. (超过三分之一的珊瑚状况很差，可能在十年内死亡)”以及下文“Here are the three main causes discvered. (以下是发现的三个主要原因。)”可知设空处承上启下，应该继续说珊瑚遭破坏的程度，选项B“很多甚至可能不会持续那么久！”紧密连接上文，并且引出下文的原因，故选B。
【56题详解】
根据上文“The pllutants run with rainwater int rivers and streams, which carry the pisns int the cean. (污染物与雨水一起流入河流和小溪，这些河流和小溪将毒物带入海洋。)”可知讲述污染物等对珊瑚造成破坏，所以E选项“来自毒品的化学物质会杀了珊瑚礁或让它们变得虚弱。”符合题意，故选E。

根据下文“Higher cean temperatures kill the imprtant fd surce (来源) fr the cral—the algae, the tiny greenish-gld water plants that live n cral. (更高的海洋温度杀死了珊瑚的重要食物来源——藻类，一种生活在珊瑚上的微小的绿金色水生植物。)”可推断此处说的是第二个破坏珊瑚的原因，和全球温度变暖有关，故选项A“全球气温变暖是另外一个原因。”符合题意，故选A。
【58题详解】
根据上文“the algae, the tiny greenish-gld water plants that live n cral. (藻类，一种生活在珊瑚上的微小的绿金色水生植物。) ”可知下文应该是和藻类相关，所以G选项“当水藻死了，珊瑚会失去颜色，最终死亡。”紧密连接上文，并且选项中的“the algae”和上文中的“the algae”相呼应，故选G。

60. 按照惯例，在中国车辆靠右行驶。(practice)（汉译英）
【答案】It is the/a (cmmn) practice t drive n the right in China.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态，固定句型，主谓一致和不定式。根据句意可知，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，“按照惯例”是固定句型It is the/a (cmmn) practice t d，其中It是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式，“在中国”是in China，“车辆靠右行驶”是drive n the right，因此整句话翻译为“It is the/a (cmmn) practice t drive n the right in China”。故答案为It is the/a (cmmn) practice t drive n the right in China.
61. 报纸的标题应该是提供信息又吸引眼球的。(infrmative)（汉译英）
【答案】The headlines f a newspaper shuld be bth infrmative and eye-catching.
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词，名词和形容词。“报纸的标题”是the headlines f a newspaper，“应该是”是shuld be，“提供信息又吸引眼球的”用形容词作表语，用连接，“提供信息的”是infrmative，“吸引眼球的”是eye-catching，因此整句话翻译为“The headlines f a newspaper shuld be bth infrmative and eye-catching”。故答案为The headlines f a newspaper shuld be bth infrmative and eye-catching.
62. 见面片刻后，他们就把谈话转到比较有趣的话题上去了。(switch)（汉译英）
【答案】They switched the talk t a mre interesting subject after meeting each ther fr a mment/while/an instant.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和比较级。“见面片刻后”是after meeting each ther fr a mment/while/an instant，“他们就把谈话转到比较有趣的话题上去了”描述的是过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，“把谈话转到……上去”是switched the talk t，“比较有趣的话题”是a mre interesting subject，因此整句话翻译为“They switched the talk t a mre interesting subject after meeting each ther fr a mment/while/an instant”。故答案为They switched the talk t a mre interesting subject after meeting each ther fr a mment/while/an instant.
63. 再次见面时，他送给我一本新出版的书，里面附有一封感谢信。(enclse)（汉译英）

The secnd time we met, he sent me a newly-published bk, enclsing a letter f thanks.
【解析】
【详解】考查时间状语从句，时态，with复合结构和非谓语动词。“再次见面时”用the secnd time引导时间状语从句，且描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，“见面”是we met，“他送给我一本新出版的书”是过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，翻译为“he sent me a newly-published bk”，“里面附有一封感谢信”用with复合结构，“一封感谢信”是a letter f thanks，“附有”是enclse，letter和enclse是逻辑动宾关系，因此用过去分词表被动作宾补，因此“里面附有一封感谢信”是with a letter f thanks enclsed；“里面附有一封感谢信”也可用非谓语动词，bk和enclse之间是主谓关系，因此用现在分词表主动，“一封感谢信”是a letter f thanks，因此“里面附有一封感谢信”也可翻译为enclsing a letter f thanks。故答案为The secnd time we met, he sent me a newly-published bk, with a letter f thanks enclsed./The secnd time we met, he sent me a newly-published bk, enclsing a letter f thanks.
