阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.
King’s Art Centre
A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition(展览)of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.
You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the masters’ or get more creative with paint—free of charge.
The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.
The Botanic Garden
The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.
The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.
Get to the display house to see Dianaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.
The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts(热爱者). Look for grass snakes in the
- 22 -
lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.
Byron’s Pool
Many stories surround Lard Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I’m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.
It is also said that on one occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf-over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.
1. As is mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for ________.
A. attending the masters’ class B. working with local artists
C. learning life drawing D. seeing an exhibition
2. “Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are ________.
A. common insects B. impressive plants
C. rarely-seen snakes D. wildlife-enthusiasts
3. We can learn from the passage that Byron seemed ________.
A. to fear pet bears B. to like walking
C. to be a heavy drinker D. to finish university in 1805
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B
【解析】
本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍的是几处周末度假去处。介绍这些地方的好处,吸引人的地方。

【2题详解】
细节考查题。根据第二则广告的第二段第一句话The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive.可知“Torch Aloe”是“Venus Flytrap”给人印象深刻的植物。本题易误选A,原文说
- 22 -
Dionaea muscipula更常见被称为venus flytrap(捕蝇草),common insects明显不对。所以应该为两种不同的植物。故选B。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。由He spent a great deal of time walking in the village一句可知Byron他花了很多时间村子里散步,可推断他看起来喜欢散步。故选B。
B
Traders desperate to avoid owning oil fled the markets on April 27,2020, sending crude (JM 油)futures into negative territory for the first time ever, in recognition that the COVID-19 pandemic has weakened demand for fuel and there is not enough storage for the massive glut(供 过于求)of oil present on US soil.
Investors sold the May futures contract due to expire(期满)on Tuesday in a series of waves. At one point, the contract hit negative $ 40. When the trading stopped, crude oil had finished the day at a negative $ 37. 63 a barrel, a decline of some 305 percent, or $ 55. 90 a barrel.
That unwanted oil is instead going into storage, but in the United States, storage is filling up much more quickly than expected. Cushing, Oklahoma , the tiny town of less than 10,000 people that serves as the main US storage centre, was 70 percent full as of last week, and traders say it will be full within two weeks.
The price decline is good news for drivers pulling up to the pump for a fill-up, but bad news for hydraulic frackers who need higher crude oil prices of about $ 30 to $ 40 a barrel to operate profitably.
US stocks dropped on Monday as investors surveyed the economic damage and considered gloomy prospects for a sustained rebound as oil prices hit the bottom of the barrel.
On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 2.44 percent, and closed at 23,650.44. The S&P 500 slipped 1. 79 percent, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 1. 03 percent.
4. Traders fled the oil markets because of ________.
A. the COVID-19 pandemic B. no demand for fuel
C. sufficient storage for the glut of oil D. no investment
5. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 5?
A. Hopeful. B. Great. C. Poor. D. Little.
6 What's the main idea of this passage?
- 22 -
A. The effects of the negative US oil price.
B. The facts of US stocks.
C. The reaction to the negative US oil price.
D. The situation of the negative US oil price.
7. From which part of the newspaper is the passage probably taken?
A. Science and technology. B. Economy.
C. Health. D. Culture.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】

这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了在美国新冠肺炎疫情的严重环境下 ,美国原油期货价格跌入负值的情况。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“in recognition that the COVID-19 pandemic has weakened demand for fuel and there is not enough storage for the massive glut (供过于求) of oil present on US soil” ,可判断出 ,交易者逃离原油市场是因为,新冠病毒削弱了对燃料的需求,目前美国本土对于原油的供过于求没有足够的短缺,所以新冠病毒疫情是根本原因 ,B项“没有需求”与原文的“需求减弱”不符;C项“充分的储备”与文中的“储备不足”不符;D项“没有投资”在文中未提及。故选A项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据此句中的“oil prices hit the bottom of the barrel”(油价每桶跌至底部) ,可以推断出“gloomy”指的是“低迷的 ,差的”。故选C项。

The first organized system for sending messages began in Egypt around 1500 B.C. This system developed because the pharaohs frequently needed to send messages up and down the Nile River in order to keep their empire running smoothly. Later, the Persians developed a more efficient system for sending messages using men and horses. Messages carriers rode along the road system stretching from one end of the Persian Empire to the other. Along these roads, fresh men and horses waited at special stations to take and pass along any messages that needed to be sent. The stations where riders passed messages back and forth were built 23 kilometers apart, so the men and horses were able to travel quickly between them. The Romans later took up his idea and improved it by using a more advanced and extensive road system.
In China, however, Kublai Khan had built up his own system for delivering messages. This system worked in the same basic way as the Roman system. The difference was that Kublai Khan kept 300,000 horses along the roads of this delivery lines. There were over 10,000 stations where a message would be passed from one rider to another with a fresh horse. In this way, Kublai Khan could receive messages from anywhere in the country in only a few days.
It was not until the 1500s that a well-organized postal system appeared again in Europe. One family, the von Taxis family, gained the right to deliver mail for the Holy Roman Empire and parts of Spain. This family continued to carry mail, both government and private, throughout Europe for almost 300 years.
In 1653, a Frenchman, Renouard de Velayer, established a system for delivering post in Paris. Postal charges at that time were paid by the recipient , but de Velayer's system was unique by allowing the sender to pre-pay the charges, in a similar way to the modern stamp. Unfortunately, de Velayer's system came to an end when jealous competitors put live mice in his letter boxes, ruining his business. Eventually, government-controlled postal systems took over from private postal businesses, and by the 1700s government ownership of most postal systems in Europe was an accepted fact of life.
The thing that all these early systems had in common was that they were quite expensive for public use, and were intended for use by the government and the wealthy. However, in 1840, a British schoolteacher named Roland Hill suggested introducing postage stamps, and a postal rate
- 22 -
based on weight. This resulted in lowering postal rates, encouraging more people to use the system to stay in touch with each other, His idea helped the British postal system begin to earn profits as early as 1850. Soon after that many other countries took up Mr. Hill's idea. And letter writing became accessible to anyone who could write. Today, the Roland Hill awards are given each year to "encourage and reward fresh ideas which help promote philately" (stamp collecting).
8. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How international letters travel. B. A surprising method for delivering mail.
C. The history of postal systems. D. Changes in the methods of communication.
9. Which of the following statements about Renouard de Velayer is true?
A. His was a government-controlled system.
B. His competitors destroyed his business.
C. His system lasted for hundreds of years.
D. In his system the person who received the letter paid the postage fees.
10. Which of the systems mentioned in the passage was most like the postal system today?
A. Egyptian. B. Chinese.
C. de Velayer's. D. von Taxis's.
11. What was Roland Hill's greatest achievement?
A. He made letter writing accessible to the average person.
B. He made a lot of money for the British postal system.
C. He made stamp collecting a popular hobby.
D. He won an award for letter writing.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report stating that the world is quickly running out of time to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. To get there, the world would have to cut current emissions by 45 percent by 2030. That sounds absurdly unlikely.
But before we give in to despair, we should remember that the technology to address climate change is going along at a high speed. The largest source of U. S. carbon emissions is transportation, and a Green New Deal for motor vehicles would be quite straightforward.
The reason is simple: with some subsidies(补贴), electric cars and buses are now cost-competitive with fossil-fuel vehicles. Electric buses have made the greatest speed into the market, because they are a logical choice for electrification. By the end of 2018, electric vehicles were displacing about 280.000 barrels of oil demand per day——about 84 percent of which was due to buses.
But the electric car market is also reaching maturity(成熟), with appealing designs, longer
- 22 -
range, and a quickly-expanding rapid charging network in many countries. It’s worth emphasizing that most of the infrastructure(基础设施) necessary to recharge electric vehicles already exists. People often tend to assume that we would need to replace every gas station, but virtually all homes and businesses already have an electrical connection which can be easily improved for fast charging. All that is needed to go fully electric is enough battery capacity and fast charging stations to deal with long trips.
Now America would have to repair its electricity production, freight rail, shipping, and so on to fully decarbonizes(脱碳)the transportation sector, which taken together will be considerably more difficult than simply extirpating fossil fuel vehicles from the market.
But greening America’s vehicle would be straightforward, relatively cheap, and a huge stride forward on climate. The politics of climate change are so fearful that despair can seem logical, but the first step to achieving a tough goal is the confident belief that it can be done. And this particular step wouldn't even be that tough.
12. How's the goal of keeping global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius according to Paragraph 1?
A. Reasonable. B. Safe. C. Realistic. D. Impossible.
13. How can electric vehicles compete with fossil-fuel ones?
A. By getting financial support from government. B. By running at the greatest speed.
C. By changing the way of transportation. D. By making consumers make logical choices.
14. What should we do to promote electric cars now?
A. Replace as many as gas stations. B. Solve the problem of long trips.
C. Build more infrastructures for recharging. D. Make businesses have electrical connections.
15. Which of the following best explains "extirpating" underlined in Paragraph 5?
A. Repairing. B. Producing. C. Moving. D. Forbidding.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C

细节理解题。根据第三段第一句The reason is simple: with some subsidies(补贴), electric cars and buses are now cost-competitive with fossil-fuel vehicles.可知原因很简单:有了一些补贴,电动汽车和公共汽车现在在成本上可以与化石燃料汽车竞争。由此可知,电动汽车通过得到政府的财政支持来与化石燃料汽车竞争。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句All that is needed to go fully electric is enough battery capacity and fast charging stations to deal with long trips.可知全电动所需要的只是足够的电池容量和快速充电站来应对长途旅行。由此可知,我们现在应该解决长途旅行的问题来推广电动汽车。故选B。
【15题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文Now America would have to repair its electricity production, freight rail, shipping, and so on to fully decarbonizes(脱碳)the transportation sector, which taken together will be considerably more difficult than simply以及后文fossil fuel vehicles from the market可知为使交通部门完全脱碳,现在美国必须修复电力生产、货运、铁路、航运等等,综合起来,这将比简单地将化石燃料汽车从市场中移除更加困难。由此可知,划线词意思是移除。A. Repairing.修复;B. Producing.产生;C. Moving.移除;D. Forbidding.禁止。故选C。

本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是关于中国高考被越来越多的国外大学承认的事情。
【36题详解】
- 22 -
考查现在分词作后置定语。句意:英国伯明翰大学宣布,2019年将接受中国优秀学生的高考。此处是现在分词作后置定语,修饰学生,表示希望在伯明翰接受本科教育的学生,学生与希望是主动关系,所以用现在分词,故填wishing。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:以优异成绩完成全国高等教育入学考试(National Higher Education Entrance Examination,简称高考)的高中生,无需先完成预科课程,就可以申请直接进入伯明翰的学位课程。此处High school students是先行词,指人,在后面的定语从句中作主语,故填who。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:以优异成绩完成全国高等教育入学考试(National Higher Education Entrance Examination,简称高考)的高中生,无需先完成预科课程,就可以申请直接进入伯明翰的学位课程。介词without后面跟动名词作宾语,再根据第一句伯明翰大学承认中国高考成绩,所以无需先完成预科课程,故填without。
【39题详解】
考查一般现在时态的被动语态。句意:6月初在中国各地举行的高考,越来越多地被澳大利亚、美国、加拿大和欧洲大陆所接受。此处指目前的一种客观事实,且定语从句的主语which(Gaokao)和hold之间是一种被动关系,所以句子用一般现在时态的被动语态,故填is held。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:6月初在中国各地举行高考,越来越多地被澳大利亚、美国、加拿大和欧洲大陆所接受。此处accepted是动词,由副词来修饰,故填increasingly。
【41题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:伯明翰只会考虑那些在高考中取得至少80%高分,并满足额外的学术和英语要求的高质量学生。要求不止一个,此处用名词复数,故填requirements。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我很高兴这所大学现在接受高考。be delighted意为“感到高兴”,故填delighted。
【43题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:这给了最聪明、最优秀的中国学生。根据the和best可知,此处用形容词最高级,故填brightest。
【44题详解】
- 22 -
考查不定冠词。句意:有机会直接进入我们的本科课程的第一年,体验在全球百强大学学习的好处。此处表示泛指,且opportunity是以元音音素开头,故填An。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:有机会直接进入我们的本科课程的第一年,体验在全球百强大学学习的好处。此处用形容词修饰名词,故填global。
【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题中先行词为名词High school students,再分析先行词High school students在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词High school students带到从句中可知,只能作主语,故确定关系词为who。

For the sake of our environment and life, we should learn to sort the rubbish and make it a habit. Everyone can make a difference and let's bring a brighter future for the planet!

When I spent the last summer with my Grandmother in Warwick, N.Y., she sent me down to the grocery store with a long shopping list. Staring at all the items on the list, I wondered how I could find anything on the packed shelves around me. But she insisted.
I walked up to the counter. Behind it was a lady like no one I’d ever seen. Thick glasses rested on the tip of her nose, gray hair was piled on her head.
“Excuse me,” I said. She looked up.
“You’re that Clements kid,” she said. “I’m Miss Bee. Come closer and let me get a look at you.” She pushed her glasses up her nose. “I want to be able to describe you to the policeman if something goes missing from the store.”
“I’m not a thief!” I was shocked. I was too young to be a thief!
“Maybe not, but I can tell you’ve got potential.” She went back to reading her newspaper.
“I need to get these.” I said, holding up my list.
“So? Go get them.” She ignored my need of a favor, “There’s no one here except you and me
- 22 -
and I’m not your servant, so I suggest you start looking for the things on that list.”
The store was a puzzle to a seven-year-old, and it seemed to hold all the goods in the world. I complained about this task Grandma had set me to do while trying to find all the items on my list. It took me one and half an hour to do it, and the mean lady behind the counter didn’t even bother to look at me once.
I visited Miss Bee a couple of times a week that summer. Sometimes she sold me an old newspaper instead of one that was the latest. Sometimes she overcharged me and didn’t seem embarrassed when I pointed it out. Going to the store was more like going into battle, but I survived. By summer’s end the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes. The morning I was to return to Brooklyn, I stopped in to get a soda.
Para. 1:
“All right, Miss Potential, what did you learn this summer?” she said.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2:
One day after all those years my seven-year-old daughter came to me with homework troubles.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“All right, Miss Potential, what did you learn this summer?” she said. “That you’re mean!” Finally I said it, thinking that I didn’t have to deal with her again. To my amazement, Miss Bee laughed. “I know what you think of me,” she continued “Well, I don’t care! Each of us is put on this earth for a reason. I believe my job is to teach every child I meet some life lessons to help them.” Embarrassed as I felt, I wasn’t capable of appreciating the lessons she claimed she had given me at
- 22 -
such a young age, and I only wished that I had never met her. After checking out, I left.
One day after all those years my seven-year-old daughter came to me with homework troubles. “It’s too hard,” she complained. “Could you finish my math problems for me?” “If I do it for you how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” I responded. Suddenly, I was back at the grocery store where I had learned the hard way to deal with my own business. Had I ever been overcharged since? As my daughter went back to her homework, I wondered: Had Miss Bee really taught me something all those years ago? Sure enough, she didn’t act as a servant but she inspired potential in a seven-year-old.

After checking out, I left. where引导的定语从句Suddenly, I was back at the grocery store where I had learned the hard way to deal with my own business.高级句式的应用提升了写作的档次,整个短文显示出了作者高水平的英语表达能力。
