1.—You mustn’t tell ________ about the matter. It’s a secret between you and me.
—OK. I promise you.
A. anyone else B. no one else C. nobody else D. someone else.
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查复合不定代词的用法。句意:---这件事你禁止告诉任何人。这是你我之间的秘密。---好,我答应你。else用作形容词常做后置定语,即放在疑问代词who,what,which等后面,或者放在something,anything,nothing,anyone,everyone等复合不定代词的后面。根据题意可知,该句为否定句,故选择anyone else译为“任何人”。故选A项。

A. trapping B. having trapped C. to trapped D. trapped
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:一个调查队被组织起来去寻找困在大山里的大学生。be trapped in意为“陷入……”,trap和students构成被动关系,且是已完成的动作,所以用过去分词形式作定语,故选D。
3.African Americans ________ about 13% of the population of the United States.
A. account for B. get across C. engage in D. contribute to

【解析】

【点睛】本题考查动词短语的词义辨析,要求学生掌握大纲内每个短语的意义及用法。在本类型题的解题过程中需要明确句子的大概意思,才能明确的判断出用来形容某人或者某事物的词语。当然明确辨析出各个短语的含义也是很重要的。
4.The rich man often provides the local poor people with free food and money, so they are very thankful for his ________.
A. adventure B. generosity C. passion D. personally

【解析】
【详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:那个富人经常给当地的穷人免费提供食物和钱,所以他们非常感谢他的慷慨。A. adventure冒险;B. generosity慷慨,大方;C. passion激情,热情D. personally亲自地,当面。根据The rich man often provides the local poor people with free food and money可知此处表示感谢富人的慷慨行为。故选B项。

A. To avoid to be caught B. To avoid being caught.
C. Avoiding being caught D. Avoiding to be caught
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:为了避免遭遇交通堵塞,我通常早晨7点开车从家出发。分析句子结构可知此处应用不定式短语在句中充当目的状语,固定短语avoid doing sth.“避免做某事”,主语I与catch构成被动关系,所以要用动名词的被动语态。故选B。
7.________, we had planned a tour of England but we didn’t go in the end.
A. Slightly B. Originally C. incredibly D. Conveniently
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查副词的词义辨析。句意:起初,我们计划去英国旅行,但最后没有去。A. Slightly轻微地;B. Originally起初;C. incredibly难以置信地;D. Conveniently便利地。根据“in the end”以及表转折的连接词“but”可知,最初计划去旅行,但是最终没有去。故选B项。
【点睛】本题考查副词词义辨析,需要考生认识所给的四个副词,之后才能结合句意选出正确答案。四个词的意思是“轻微地”、“起初”、“难以置信地”和“便利地”,根据“in the end”以及表转折的连接词“but”,可以判断空白处指的是“起初”。故选B项。
8.As students, we must ________ on our studies and work hard instead of fooling around.

10.The reason why I have come here for the job is that I just want to make practical use of _________ I have learned in class.
A. which B. how C. what D. whether
【答案】C

It is often said that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” That is certainly true of the images of fleeting moments of nature submitted by international ecologists and students for the British Ecological Society’s (BES) annual photography competition. Here are a few of 2019’s winning entries.
Red Night
Photographed by Roberto Garcia Roa, it was declared last year’s overall winner. The image captures both the beauty of the magnificent snake and its fear of human threats like fires. The ecologist says, “During my visit to Madagascar, I had the pleasure of finding this snake and photographing it. To offer a dramatic scene reflecting the conditions that these snakes are suffering, I used an external red light as a source of light to capture the environment.”
The Rhino’s Annual Haircut
It was photographed by ecologist Molly Penny. The ongoing demand for rhino (犀牛) horns has reduced the population to just 30,000 globally. To try to save the species, ecologists in South Africa, home to over 20,000 southern white rhinos, have decided to saw off (锯掉) it part of the animals’ horns, which regrow every year. “The Rhino’s Annual Haircut,” captured beautifully in the black-and-white photo by Molly Penny from the University of the West of England, reduces the risk of the animals being cruelly murdered.
For the Love of Flamingos
Photographed by Peter Hudson, it captures a heart-shaped cloud of pink flamingos in Kenya, which is truly a sight like none other. The ecologist says, “Flamingos are all legs and necks but meanwhile beautiful and fascinating and I admit I have a deep passion for them, so I was thrilled when, flying high over Lake Magadi, I watched this flock from themselves into a heart shape.”.
Flames in Flumes
Photographed by Nilanjan Chatterjee, it captures a water redstart waiting to catch an insect near a small waterfall. It was the best overall student submission. The photographer wanted to show the struggle the river birds are likely to face from the slowdown in water flow due to planned dams in rivers across India.
36. What can we know about “Red Night”?
A. Roberto Garcia Roa suffered a lot to take it.
B. It describes a snake’s suffering in the fires.
C. It won the first place in 2019 BES’ photography competition.
D. Roberto Garcia Roa was very frightened when he took it.
37. What may be the topic of “The Rhino’s Annual Haircut”?
A. The tips on saving an endangered rhino.
B. The cruelty of killing an endangered rhino.
C. The scene of taking part of a horn from a rhino.
D. The method of helping a rhino to grow a horn again.
38. Where was “For the Love of Flamingos” photographed?
A. In South Africa. B. In Kenya.
C. In India. D. In Madagascar.
39. How is “Flames in Flumes” different from the other pictures?
A. It is a student’s work.
B. It was photographed on an island.
C. It is a black-and-white photo.
D. It shows wild animals’ suffering.
40. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce a photography competition.
B. To remind us to protect some animals.
C. To warn us of worsening nature.
D. To introduce some winning photos.
【答案】36. C 37. C 38. B 39. A 40. D
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了2019年在英国生态学会(BES)年度摄影比赛中的获奖作品。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据Red Night中的“Photographed by Roberto Garcia Roa, it was declared last year’s overall winner.(由罗伯托·加西亚·罗亚拍摄的这张照片被宣布为去年的总冠军。)”可知,《红色的夜晚》获得2019年BES摄影比赛第一名。故选C。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Rhino’s Annual Haircut中的“To try to save the species, ecologists in South Africa, home to over 20,000 southern white rhinos, have decided to saw off (锯掉) it part of the animals’ horns, which regrow every year. The Rhino’s Annual Haircut,” captured beautifully in the black-and-white photo by Molly Penny from the University of the West of England, reduces the risk of the animals being cruelly murdered.”可知,作品《犀牛的年度发型》是英国西部大学的莫莉·佩妮拍摄从犀牛角上取角的场景。故选C。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据For the Love of Flamingos中的“Photographed by Peter Hudson, it captures a heart-shaped cloud of pink flamingos in Kenya, which is truly a sight like none other.(这张照片是由彼得·哈德森拍摄的,它在肯尼亚捕捉到了一片粉红色火烈鸟的心形云,这真是独一无二的景象。)”可知,此照片是在肯尼亚拍摄的。故选B。

photography competition. Here are a few of 2019’s winning entries. (在英国生态学会(BES)年度摄影比赛中,国际生态学家和学生们提交了一组自然转瞬即逝的照片。以下是2019年获奖作品。)”可推断,此文的目的是介绍一些获奖照片。故选D。
B
Like many other students beginning graduate school I was quickly charged with responsibilities and had to find time for studying by letting goof many other things I valued. Letting go of football and the violin was, however, self-defeating: it might have brought me more time in the short term, but spending that extra time on work only’ made me more stressed and less productive.
Towards the end of the MSC (Master of Science program) started to lose my motivation and curiosity for science and research, as well as my creativity. Spending so much time and energy in the laboratory, and focusing all my attention on my thesis and courses, made me feel down and almost totally uninterested in my field - not to mention short-tempered and oversensitive in my personal communications.
Over time, I learnt from these experiences. When I started my PhD, I focused on balancing academic success with personal time-off, and made personal happiness a priority (首要事情) in my weekly schedule. My mentor (导师) and I discussed my work-life balance early in my program, and we arrange our lab responsibilities accordingly.
I set boundaries for myself in new ways: ‘rather than doing lab work all weekend, I’d play football or the violin, or visit loved ones, before allowing myself to work fora few hours.
This was hard at first: I worried that it would affect my standing with my peers, and superiors, but I had learnt from experiences that an overloaded schedule can drain (使疲劳) you so much that you become unfocused and start making mistakes or forgetting important details.
Since establishing a better work-life balance, I’ve been doing well in graduate school. Outside the lab, I’ve been able to take up a few leadership positions at my university because I’m not as stressed with my work. I serve as our department’s student councilor and I am also vice-president academic in the Health Sciences Graduate Students’ Association. My advice is this: a healthy work-life balance isn’t a luxury; it’s a key part of success in graduate programs.
41. What is the author’s problem?
A. He must study hard to graduate.
B. He must give up his hobby for study,
C. He didn’t know how to study more effectively.
D. He didn’t know how to deal with pressure.
42. Paragraph 2 shows ________.
A. the challenges of an MSC program
B. the consequences of giving up hobbies
C. the benefits of focusing on schoolwork
D. the importance of balancing study and hobbies
43. To balance academic and personal life, the author ________.
A. asks his peers for help
B. seeks to reduce his lab duties
C. puts his hobbies first more often
D. avoids schoolwork at weekends at all
44. When the author gets his hands too full, he ________.
A. tends to put things on hold
B. tends to lose the attention to details
C. will lose his patience with his academic work
D. will make a new schedule accordingly
45. What can be inferred from the author’s personal experience?
A. It’s never too late to make a change in the university.
B. It’s easy to be work-life balanced in our lives.
C. Multi-tasking has many advantages in the university.
D. Work-life balance is necessary in the university.

【41题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“Letting go of football and the violin was, however, self-defeating: it might have brought me more time in the short term, but spending that extra time on work only’ made me more stressed and less productive.”放弃足球和小提琴却会弄巧成拙:它可能会在短期内给我带来更多时间,但把多余的时间花在工作上只会“让我压力更大,效率更低”。可知,作者遇到的问题是,他必须放弃自己的爱好来抓紧时间学习。故选B项。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知,在MSC快结束的时候,作者开始失去了对科学和研究的动力和好奇心,也失去了创造力。在实验室里花了那么多时间和精力,把所有的注意力都集中在论文和课程上,这让作者情绪低落,对自己的领域几乎完全不感兴趣——更别提在个人交流中脾气暴躁、过于敏感了。可知,本段表明了作者放弃自己爱好的结果。故选B项。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“When I started my PhD, I focused on balancing academic success with personal time-off, and made personal happiness a priority (首要事情) in my weekly schedule. ” 当我开始我的博士学位,我专注于平衡学术成就和个人时生活,并使个人幸福优先(首要事情)在我每周的日程安排。可知,作者为了平衡学术成就和个人生活更多的把自己的爱好放在第一位。故选C项。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“I had learnt from experiences that an overloaded schedule can drain (使疲劳) you so much that you become unfocused and start making mistakes or forgetting important details.” 我从经验中学到一个过载的时间表可以使你如此疲劳以至于使你变得无失去注意力,开始犯错误或忘记重要的细节。可以推断,当作者手头工作太多时,他会容易忽视细节。故选B项。
45题详解】
推理判断题。文章通过讲述自己的经历,放弃爱好专注学习使作者压力更大、效率更低,之后通过自己的经历认识到了要注意工作和生活的平衡;尤其是文章最后一段“a healthy work-life balance isn’t a luxury; it’s a key part of success in graduate programs.” 健康的工作与生活平衡不是一种奢侈,这是研究生课程成功的关键部分。可以推断,根据作者的经验,我们可以知道工作与生活的平衡在大学是必要的。故选D项。
【点睛】
细节理解题主要考查考生对某句话或某几句话的理解,同学们若能根据题干内容从原文中找到相关的句子,然后进行比较和分析,便可确定最佳答案。多数情况下,作者不会明确的呈现一个事实,读者需要根据已有的信息进行处理,读出言外之意。还要特别注意文章的时间顺序、故事发生的地点、情节的发展和人物之间的关系。例如,第3题文章中,由文章第三段“When I started my PhD, I focused on balancing academic success with personal time-off, and made personal happiness a priority (首要事情) in my weekly schedule. ” 当我开始我的博士学位,我专注于平衡学术成就和个人时生活,并使个人幸福优先(首要事情)在我每周的日程安排。可知,作者为了平衡学术成就和个人生活更多的把自己的爱好放在第一位。故选C项。
C
Purdue University researchers have engineered flying robots that behave like hummingbirds, trained by machine learning algorithms (计算程序) based on various techniques the bird uses naturally every day. The robot would be able to fly better through collapsed buildings to find trapped victims.
Even though such a robot can’t see yet it senses by touching surfaces. Each touch changes an electric current, which the researchers realized that they could track. Xinyan Deng, a professor, and her colleagues at Purdue have been trying to decode (破译) hummingbird flight so that robots can fly where larger aircraft can’t. Deng’s group studied hummingbirds themselves for many summers in Montana. They documented key hummingbird actions, such as making a rapid 180-degree turn, and translated them to computer algorithms that the robot could learn from when connected with a simulation (模拟操作).
Further study on the physics of insects and hummingbirds allowed Purdue researchers to build robots smaller than hummingbirds--and even as small as insects-without compromising the way they fly. The smaller the size, the greater the wing flapping frequency, and the more efficiently they fly. The robots have 3D-printed bodies and wings made of carbon fiber. The researchers have built one hummingbird robot weighing 12 grams--the weight of the average adult hummingbird. The hummingbird robot can lift up to 27 grams.
Designing their robots with higher lift gives the researchers more room to eventually add a battery and sensing technology, such as a-camera or GPS. Currently, the robot needs to be tied to an energy source while it flies-but that won’t be for much longer, the researchers say. The robots could
fly silently just as a real hummingbird does, making them more ideal for covert (转换) operations.
Robotic hummingbirds would not only help with search-and-rescue tasks, but also allow biologists to more reliably study hummingbirds. In their natural environment through the senses of a realistic robot. This work is part of Purdue’s 1501° anniversary. This is one of the four themes of the celebration’s Ideas Festival, designed to show Purdue as an intellectual center solving real-world issues.
46. The hummingbird robot could be helpful in searching for victims .
A. in a very wide area B. in a desert
C. in a dark place D. in the sea
47. What can we know about the hummingbird robot?
A. It is as light as an insect. B. It can fly to any place.
C. It can see where to go. D. The smaller it is, the better.
48. What is the disadvantage of the robotic hummingbird at present?
A. It barely lifts its weight. B. It’s not equipped with a battery.
C. It can’t fly too high in the sky. D. It produces a little noise outside.
49. Besides being useful in rescues, the hummingbird robot can help .
A. biologists to study hummingbirds B. biologists to study wildlife
C. transport dangerous goods D. protect birds in the wild
【答案】46. C 47. D 48. B 49. A

We all have our bad days. No one is going to wake up each and every morning in a cheery mood. Sometimes we all feel just a little bit grumpier (脾气暴躁的) than usual, and that’s just a part of being human. Yet once we get to the office, many in the workforce feel it necessary to hide their emotions, whether they are in frustration, anger, or sadness. Interestingly, a new study finds keeping one’s behavior at the office authentic will result in greater productivity and a better relationship with co-workers. In other words: act how you feel, and don’t fake it.
It’s extremely common for the average workspace to preach an attitude of continuous positivity. While this may be beneficial from the CEO’s viewpoint, it just isn’t realistic when applied to real people with real problems and daily hardships. That’s why, the research team have concluded, employees will actually feel better, work harder, and connect more with their colleagues if they don’t hide their feelings with a fake smile.
Over 2,500 working adults, from a variety of industries such as finance or engineering, took part in this research via surveys. The questionnaires measured two distinct types of on-the-job emotional regulation: surface acting and deep acting. Surface acting means faking happiness while interacting with other employees; and deep acting refers to actively trying to change one’s emotions and feelings in order to be more pleasant at work. The study’s authors were interested to see how
common it is for working adults to regulate their emotions while on the clock, and if so. Why? What benefits are employees gaining from such behavior?
After analyzing all of the survey responses, researchers identified four distinct types of individuals who hide or regulate their emotions around co-workers. “Non-actors” rarely hide their true feelings, and if they do, only to a very small extent. “Low actors” usually take part in only slight deep and surface acting. “Deep actors” perform lots of deep acting and low levels of surface acting, and “Regulators” exhibit high levels of both surface and deep acting.
By far non-actors were the smallest identified group in the study. Regulators, or employees who tend to hide their true feelings most often, are usually motivated by feelings of self-interest. These people believe that by hiding their feelings they will gain access to additional work resources and look good in front of their managers and co-workers. Deep actors, on the other hand, are usually more motivated by “pro-social” factors. This means they choose to hide their emotions because they believe it develops a healthier working environment. Regulators are the most likely of the four to experience great emotional tiredness and exhaustion. Meanwhile, deep actors tend to achieve improved well-being most frequently.
50. Many office workers tend to ________.
A. show their anger B. behave naturally
C. focus on their jobs only D. pretend to be happy
51. What does the underlined word “preach” mean in the second paragraph?
A. Promote. B. Forbid. C. Change. D. Ignore
52. How was the study carried out?
A. By performing experiments.
B. By analyzing questionnaire data.
C. By taking field trips to offices.
D. By interviewing CEOs.
53. What do we know about “regulators”?
A. They are straightforward and like to help others.
B. They are more surface acting than deep acting.
C. They like to build an image that will benefit them.
D. They are self-interested and will do whatever it takes to succeed.
54. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A. “Non-actors” always hold back their true feelings on purpose.
B. “Low-actors” are, most likely to display their true feelings.
C. Hiding true feelings is sure to leave a good impression.
D. It is worthwhile to become deep actors in a way.
55. Through the passage the author mainly intends to
A. stress the significance of displaying true feelings
B. highlight the importance of hiding true feelings
C. urge people to keep a cheerful emotion at work
D. persuade people to better their working efficiency
【答案】50. D 51. A 52. B 53. C 54. D 55. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了科研人员对不同风格的人职场情绪管理的一项研究。
【50题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Yet once we get to the office, many in the workforce feel it necessary to hide their emotions, whether they are in frustration, anger, or sadness.”可知,无论心情好坏,一旦进入工作状态,很多人都觉得有必要把个人情绪藏起来,假装很快乐积极,故选D。
【51题详解】
词义猜测题。结合划线句子“It’s extremely common for the average workspace to preach an attitude of continuous positivity.”的上下文可知,在职场上隐藏情绪是人们的通行做法,对于an attitude of continuous positivity(持续积极向上的态度)人们是要保持和肯定的,据此猜测动词preach词义。A. Promote促进,发扬;B. Forbid禁止;C. Change改变;D. Ignore忽视。只有A选项为肯定含义,而B、C、D均为否定含义,在该句中应取肯定含义,故选A。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Over 2,500 working adults…took part in this research via surveys. The questionnaires measured…”可知这一研究通过覆盖超过2500人的问卷调查这一形式进行,也即这一研究通过分析问卷数据实施,故选B。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中对这种人的描述“Regulators, or employees who tend to hide their true feelings most often, are usually motivated by feelings of self-interest. These people believe that by hiding their feelings they will gain access to additional work resources and look good in front of their managers and co-workers.”可知,他们这么做的动力来自于其感觉可以从中获得利益(self-interest为私利、利己主义),例如可以获得额外的工作资源,在上司和同事面前看起来更好,等等。也就是说,他们塑造了一个于他们自己有利的形象,故选C。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后两句话“Regulators are the most likely of the four to experience great emotional tiredness and exhaustion. Meanwhile, deep actors tend to achieve improved well-being most frequently.”可知,其赞同的是deep actors,而不支持regulators,认为deep actors有更大的概率实现一种快乐幸福(指职场上),它更值得,故选D。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。本题要求判断作者的目的意图,从文中作者对regulators的反对,以及文章第一段末尾“Interestingly, a new study finds keeping one’s behavior at the office authentic will result in greater productivity and a better relationship with co-workers. In other words: act how you feel, and don’t fake it.”及第二段末尾“That’s why, the research team have concluded, employees will actually feel better, work harder, and connect more with their colleagues if they don’t hide their feelings with a fake smile.”可知,作者多次强调在职场上不要伪装,不要假装高兴,而要袒露真情实感,这样反而对于个人心情和工作效果都是有益的,也即他想强调表露真情实感的意义所在,故选A。

David Carter stands outside of the University of Texas’ Austin campus every day, offering the same warm greeting to students who pass by. “Hello, my friend!”
Carter, now 68, is a beggar who once attended the school from 1972 to L975. Then, he was involved in a crash and got serious injuries. He then had trouble with substance abuse and faced mental health challenges, leading him to drop out before completing his degree.
“If I could change one thing about my past life, I would have stayed in school,” Carter says. He says he knows an education can change someone’s quality of life.
Carter had to beg in the last few years fora simple reason. “I’m always flat broke,” he said. While most people would walk right by a beggar, Ryan Chandler, a junior at the university, decided to stop and chat with Carter-and he learned a valuable lesson: You can’t judge a book by its cover.
“A lot of UT students see them as criminal vagrants (无业游民,乞丐) or think that they are dangerous or unfriendly, and that idea just isn’t true,” says Chandler.
Chandler got to know Carter and saw his potential. “He completed 87 hours of course credits, which is enough for a degree for most people, but he just never finished,” Chandler says.
The student wrote a blog post about his new friend, and luckily, the right people heard about Carter and stepped in to help. The University of Texas readmitted Carter as a student, and a kind person who used to be a student UT offered to pay for Carter’s tuition.
“I want to be a student and I want to learn,” Carter said. Since the course requirements have changed, Carter is far from having the amount of credits needed to graduate. But his friend knows he’s willing to take up the challenge. “He is capable, he is ready, and he is dedicated to this,” Chandler says.
56. Why didn’t Carter finish his study at UT more than 40 years ago? (no more than 10 words)
57. How does Carter feel as a dropout? (no more than 5 words)
58. What does the underlined part in the fourth paragraph probably mean? (no more than 5 words)
59. What can be inferred about Carter in his study at UT? (no more than 15 words)
60. What do you think is the right way to know someone? Please explain. (no more than 25 words)
【答案】56. He got some health problems after a crash./He had the substance abuse problem and poor mental health.
57. Regretful Sorry /He feels it a shame (a pity)/ He feels sorry for that (it).
58. completely without money/ Not having any money/ Poor.
59. Despite the challenge he faces, he’s got capabilities and a positive attitude./He faces a challenge, but he has capabilities and a positive attitude.
60. Instead of judging someone by his or her appearance, we should take time to communicate with the person patiently/sincerely to truly understand him or her.
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了David Carter每天都站在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校校园外,向路过的学生致以同样热情的问候。现年68岁的卡特是一名乞丐,他曾在1972年至1975年期间就读于这所学校,后来因为车祸和药物滥用的问题辍学了。大学三年级的Ryan Chandler认识了Carter,看到了他的潜力,想要帮助他完成学业。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Then, he was involved in a crash and got serious injuries. He then had trouble with substance abuse and faced mental health challenges, leading him to drop out before completing his degree.可知然后,他发生了车祸,受了重伤。随后,他出现了滥用药物的问题,并面临着精神健康方面的挑战,这导致他在完成学位之前就辍学了。由此可知,Carter 40多年前没有完成他在德克萨斯大学的学业是因为撞车后,他的健康出了问题。或他有药物滥用问题,心理健康状况不佳。故答He got some health problems after a crash./He had the substance abuse problem and poor mental health.
【57题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“If I could change one thing about my past life, I would have stayed in school,” Carter says. He says he knows an education can change someone’s quality of life.可知“如果我能改变我过去生活中的一件事,我可能会留在学校,”卡特说。他说,他知道教育可以改变一个人的生活质量。由此可推知,作为一个辍学生,Carter感到很遗憾。故答Regretful Sorry /He feels it a shame (a pity)/ He feels sorry for that (it).
【58题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文While most people would walk right by a beggar, Ryan Chandler, a junior at the university, decided to stop and chat with Carter-and he learned a valuable lesson: You can’t judge a book by its cover.可知当大多数人从乞丐身边走过时,大学三年级的Ryan Chandler却决定停下来和Carter聊天——他学到了宝贵的一课:不能以貌取人。由此可知,Carter在过去的几年里因为一个简单的原因不得不乞讨。总是身无分文。故划线部分意思为“完全没有钱;很穷”。故答completely without money/ Not having any money/ Poor.
【59题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中But his friend knows he’s willing to take up the challenge. “He is capable, he is ready, and he is dedicated to this,” Chandler says.
可知但他的朋友知道他愿意接受挑战。“他是有能力的,他已经准备好了,而且他全力以赴,” Chandler说。由此可推知,Carter尽管面临挑战,但他有能力和积极的态度。故答Despite the challenge he faces, he’s got capabilities and a positive attitude./He faces a challenge, but he has capabilities and a positive attitude.
【60题详解】
这是开放性题目,结合文章回答,言之有理即可。可结合第四段中While most people would walk right by a beggar, Ryan Chandler, a junior at the university, decided to stop and chat with Carter-and he learned a valuable lesson: You can’t judge a book by its cover.可知当大多数人从乞丐身边走过时,大学三年级的Ryan Chandler却决定停下来和Carter聊天——他学到了宝贵的一课:不能以貌取人。回答:不要以貌取人,我们应该花时间耐心地与他/她交流,真正理解他/她。故答Instead of judging someone by his or her appearance, we should take time to communicate with the person patiently/sincerely to truly understand him or her.

【答案】June 10, 2020
Here I would like to introduce a new type of intelligent household robot to you.
In recent years, an intelligent robot, powered by solar energy which is environmentally-friendly, has been designed to provide everyday assistance in our life by scientists in our country.
So many powerful functions does this intelligent robot have that it can help us in various ways. Firstly, it can do all the housework, such as cooking, washing and cleaning windows, as a result of which, people can be freed from heavy labour. What’s more, if used appropriately, the robot is capable of taking good care of the elderly and the sick, lightening the burden of their family members’ care for them. Of course, you’ll also take advantage of this robot by not only communicating with it but surfing the Internet through it to collect amounts of information. Not to mention it can even entertain you if it accepts voice commands, playing songs, to mention just one example.
There’s no doubt that the creation of this intelligent robot shows the rapid development of science and technology of our country. I’m firmly convinced it will be a big helper in a family, making life more convenient and I’m looking forward to the life with this robot.
