I was very happy with the school hours in Britain. On the first day,all students attended an assembly. During it,we ___1___ (tell) by the headmaster that the best way to earn respect was to work hard and achieve high grades. In our class there were 28 students, ___2___ is about the average size for British schools. I found the homework was not heavy, ___3___ it was challenging for me.
【答案】1. were told
2. which 3. but
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在英国的学习生活。
【1题详解】
考查时态和语态。分析句子可知,此处是谓语动词,由下文的was判断为一般过去时,又主语we和tell之间是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数,故填were told。
【2题详解】
考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处是非限制性定语从句的关系词,先行词是前面的整个句子,它在从句中充当主语,故用关系代词which,故填which。
【3题详解】
考查并列连词。句意:我发现家庭作业不多,但是对我来说很有挑战。根据句意可知,上下文是转折关系,故填but。
【点睛】第2小题考查定语从句关系词。确定定语从句关系词一般分为三步:找出先行词;分析先行词在从句中充当什么成分;考虑特殊情况。以本题为例:
找出先行词:our class there were 28 students
分析先行词在从句中充当什么成分:先行词在从句___2___ is about the average size for British schools.中充当主语,应用关系代词
考虑特殊情况:非限制性定语从句中不能使用that
故填which
B

In Lin Shuiqing's opinion, ___5___ is our duty to cut back on production and reduce the quantities of things we make and buy. While Qian Liwei thinks that businessmen are not greedy and they don't hide their responsibilities, either.

In fact,many people are willing to pay a little ___7___ (high) price for things that are friendly to the environment.
【答案】4. to develop
5. it 6. factories
7. higher
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人们对发展经济还是保护环境的看法。
【4题详解】
考查固定结构。分析句子可知,此处考查“特殊疑问词 + to do”的结构,该结构作为about的宾语,故填to develop。
【5题详解】
考查代词。此处考查固定句型it is + n + to do sth.“做某事是……”,其中it是形式主语,不定式是真正的主语,故填it。
【6题详解】
考查名词的数。根据these判断此处用名词复数形式,故填factories。
【7题详解】
考查形容词比较级。根据句意“事实上,许多人愿意为有利于环境的东西支付稍高的价格。”和a little判断此处用high的比较级修饰名词price,故填higher。
【点睛】第1小题考查“特殊疑问词 + to do”
按所作的句子成分来说,该结构在句子中一般可以作主语,宾语和表语,例如
How to save the child is the most important to us. (作主语)
I don't know what to do next.(作宾语)
The problem is when to start.(作表语);
“疑问词+动词不定式”结构可以改写成由该疑问词引导的从句,从句所作的句子成分不变。如I don't know what to do.= I don't know what I should do.
C

【答案】8. Buying
9. to 10. has conducted
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了更多的选择导致人们产生了焦虑。
【8题详解】
考查动名词。分析句子可知,此处应用动名词作为句子主语,故填Buying。
【9题详解】
考查介词。此处考查固定搭配access to“使用/利用……的机会”,故填to。
【10题详解】
考查谓语动词。分析句子可知,此处是句子谓语动词,由in the past two years“在过去两年里”判断用现在完成时,主语Chinese Consumer Association是第三人称单数,故填has conducted。
【点睛】第3小题考查现在完成时
现在完成时一般指过去的动作对现在造成的影响,或动作从过去持续到现在。其结构为have/has done,常见的时间标志词有already/ yet/ since/ for/ by the end of/ by the time/ so far/ up to now/ up till now/ in(during, over) the past + 段时间,等。例如,
So far we have finished half of the project.迄今为止,我们已经完成了项目的一半。

Facts about novel corona virus: Prevention and control
l Keep distance with people when talking
The novel corona virus can be transmitted via droplets and fly 1 to 2 meters in the air before falling to the ground. Droplets can be transmitted far longer when sneezing and coughing than speaking, so apart from keeping 1 to 2 meters of distance, also remember to wear a mask when you are close to someone else.
l Washing hands can reduce risk of getting infected
Please wash your hands promptly and properly after touching elevator buttons or using cash. Do not touch your nose or mouth or rub your eyes before washing your hands. Do not use smart phones while eating.
l Receiving delivered packages at home not dangerous
Though the virus might be attached to the packaging of delivered items, the possibility of transmission through express delivery is extremely low. Before going out to take your delivery, remember to wear a mask. After removing the packaging, please wash your hands.
l Sun exposure cannot kill the virus
The temperature of sun light cannot reach 56℃, and the ultraviolet rays in sunlight cannot reach the intensity of ultraviolet lamps, so the virus can’t be killed by the sunlight. If you want to go out to get some sun, please wear a mask and take other protective measures.
l Taking a hot bath or using air conditioning cannot kill the virus
Although the virus is vulnerable to heat. It can only be inactivated after exposure to a 56°C temperature for over 30 minutes.
l Woolen fabric doesn’t retain virus longer
It is believed that the virus prefers smooth, non-porous surfaces and stays on woolen fabrics for a shorter time. At home or before going out, it is not necessary to consider which kind of material has less chance to absorb the virus—choosing comfortable clothes is enough.
After returning home, please wash your hands, sterilize the clothes and dry the clothes.
31. What are you suggested to do when taking delivered packages?
A. Wear a mask.
B. Take a hot bath.

A. the virus is vulnerable to heat

【答案】31. A 32. D 33. D
【解析】
这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了预防和控制新型冠状病毒的方法。
【31题详解】

【32题详解】
细节理解题。l Sun exposure cannot kill the virus部分下的The temperature of sun light cannot reach 56℃, and the ultraviolet rays in sunlight cannot reach the intensity of ultraviolet lamps, so the virus can’t be killed by the sunlight.(阳光的温度达不到56摄氏度,阳光里面的紫外线也达不到紫外线灯里面的强度,所以病毒不能被阳光杀死)可知,紫外线是可以杀死病毒的,只是阳光里的紫外线达不到杀死病毒的强度。D. the virus cannot be killed by the ultraviolet rays(紫外线不能杀死病毒)不符合以上说法,故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其标题Facts about novel corona virus: Prevention and control(关于新型冠状病毒的事实:预防和控制)可知,本文主要讲述新冠的防御和控制措施,以及一些需要澄清的事实。由此推测,本文很有可能出自一篇科学杂志的文章。D. a science magazine(科学杂志)符合以上推测,故选D项。

When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder, she was alone on the island. The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around. ''Hello? '' she called. ''Celia? Marie? '' There was no response.
The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it ''Forgotten Island'' because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends-her, Celia, and Marie. But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault.
''Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat. '' Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.
A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current problem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill down her back.
Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.
In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out. She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didn't seem to mind becoming wet.
34. What is special about the island?
A. It is very near the ocean.
B. It is a popular place for boating.
C. It is surrounded by thick forest.
D. It has never been reached by others.
35. Why did Lina get angry?
A. Lina was left alone on the island.
B. Marie would not help row the boat.
C. Marie didn't know how to row the boat.
D. Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.
36. What caused Lina to feel scared?
A. Her shame about the unnecessary argument.
B. The first raindrop of the approaching storm.
C. The idea that no one would come to save her.
D. The drop in temperature as the sun went down.
37. What can we infer about the three girls?
A. All of them could swim well.
B. They had an adventurous spirit.
C. They lived far away from the island.
D. They quarreled with one another badly.
【答案】34. C 35. D 36. C 37. B
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Lina和她的好朋友们去秘密小岛玩耍,但是发生了分歧,
Lina离开朋友们独自呆在森林里。随着雷雨闪电的来临,Lina感到很害怕,这是两个好朋友带着大人来救她。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends-her, Celia, and Marie.(Lina喜欢这个岛,它隐藏在河边一条树木繁茂的小溪旁,是她、西利亚和玛丽这三个朋友的秘密)可知,这个小岛的特殊之处是它被茂密的树木包围着。C. It is surrounded by thick forest.(被茂密的树林包围着)符合以上说法,故选C项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina exploded and yelled at them to just leave.(拒绝之后的争论采取了通常的形式,西利亚一如既往地站在玛丽一边。莉娜亚爆发了,对他们大喊大叫,让他们离开)可知,莉娜生气的原因是西莉亚在争论中站在了玛丽一边。D. Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.(在争论中西莉亚支持玛丽)符合以上说法,故选D项。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill down her back.(她一个人被困在这里。她只是希望她不会像这座孤岛一样被遗忘。一想到这里,她就不寒而栗)可知,莉娜害怕是因为她想到可能没人回来救她,她就像这座孤岛一样被遗忘了。C. The idea that no one would come to save her.(没人会来救她的想法)符合以上说法,故选C项。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的They had always called it ''Forgotten Island'' because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didn’t know about it.(他们总称它为“遗忘岛”,因为除了他们,似乎没有人记得它的存在。在他们能找到的地图上都没有它,连护林员都不知道它)可知,她们三个经常去一个无人知晓的小岛玩耍,由此推测她们有冒险精神。B. They had an adventurous spirit.(她们有冒险精神)符合以上推测,故选B项。

For years, the U.S. has experienced a shortage of registered nurses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that while the number of nurses will increase by 19 percent by 2022, demand will
grow faster than supply, and that there will be over one million unfilled nursing jobs by then.
So what’s the solution? Robots.
Japan is ahead of the curve when it comes to this trend. Toyohashi University of Technology has developed Terapio, a robotic medical cart that can make hospital rounds, deliver medications and other items, and retrieve records. It follows a specific individual, such as a doctor or nurse, who can use it to record and access patient data. This type of robot will likely be one of the first to be implemented in hospitals because it has fairly minimal patient contact.
Robots capable of social engagement help with loneliness as well as cognitive functioning, but the robot itself doesn't have to engage directly—it can serve as an intermediary for human communication. Telepresence robots such as MantaroBot, Vgo, and Giraff can be controlled through a computer, smartphone, or tablet, allowing family members or doctors to remotely monitor patients or Skype them, often via a screen where the robot's ''face'' would be. If you can't get to the nursing home to visit grandma, you can use a telepresence robot to hang out with her. A 2016 study found that users had a ''consistently positive attitude'' about the Giraff robot's ability to enhance communication and decrease feelings of loneliness.
A robot’s appearance affects its ability to successfully interact with humans, which is why the RIKEN-TRI Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research decided to develop a robotic nurse that looks a huge teddy bear. RIBA (Robot for Interactive Body Assistance), also known as ''Robear'', can help patients into and out of wheelchairs and beds with its strong arms. On the less cute and more scary side there is Actroid F, which is so human-like that some patients may not know the difference. This conversational robot companion has cameras in its eyes, which allow it to track patients and use appropriate facial expressions and body language in its interactions. During a month-long hospital trial, researchers asked 70 patients how they felt being around the robot and “only three or four said they didn't like having it around.”
It's important to note that robotic nurses don't decide courses of treatment or make diagnoses (though robot doctors and surgeons may not be far off). Instead, they perform routine and laborious tasks, freeing nurses up to attend to patients with immediate needs. This is one industry where it seems the interaction of robots will lead to collaboration, not replacement.

In the last decade a revolution has occurred in the way that scientists think about the brain. We now know that the decisions humans make can be traced to the firing patterns of neurons in specific parts of the brain. These discoveries have led to the field known as neuroeconomics, which studies the brain’s secrets to success in an economic environment that demands innovation and being able to do things differently from competitors. A brain that can do this is an iconoclastic one. Briefly, an iconoclast is a person who does something that others say can't be done. Neuroscientists have suggested that iconoclastic brains are different in three ways: perception, fear response, and social intelligence.
To understand how iconoclastic brains work, we first need to realize that the brain suffers from
limited resources. It has a fixed energy budget, so it has evolved to work as efficiently as possible. When faced with information streaming from the eyes, the brain will interpret this information in the quickest way possible. Thus it will draw on both past experience and other source of information, such as what other people say, to make sense of what it is seeing. The brain takes shortcuts that work so well we are hardly aware of them. We think our perceptions of the world are real, but they are only the products of the brain's interpretation.
Perception is central to iconoclasm. Iconoclasts see things differently to other people. Their brains do not fall into efficiency pitfalls as much as the average person's brain. The best way to see things differently is to bombard (轰炸) the brain with things it has never encountered before. Novelty releases the perceptual process from the chains of past experience and forces the brain to make new judgments. Successful iconoclasts have an extraordinary willingness to embrace what is fresh while most people avoid things that are different.
The problem with novelty however, is that it tends to trigger (触发) the brain's fear system.
There are many types of fear, but the two that prevent iconoclastic thinking are fear of uncertainty and fear of public ridicule. The fear of public speaking troubles one-third of the population. It is simply a common feature of human nature, one which iconoclasts do not let stop their reactions.
Finally, to be successful iconoclasts, individuals must sell their ideas to other people. This is where social intelligence comes in. Social intelligence is the ability to understand and manage people in a business setting. Neuroscience has revealed which brain parts are responsible for functions like empathy, fairness, and social identity. These brain regions play key roles in whether people convince others of their ideas.
Iconoclasts supply creativity and innovation not easily accomplished by others, creating new opportunities in every area from art to technology to business. It is crucial for success in any field to understand how the iconoclastic mind works.
42. Neuroeconomics is a field of study which aims to _______.
A. understand how decisions are made in the brain
B. cause a change in how scientists understand the brain
C. trace the firing patterns of neurons in different parts of the brain
D. understand how the brain is linked to achievement in an economic environment.
43. According to the author, an iconoclastic thinker _______.
A. has more opportunities than the average person
B. B. relies on previous events to make smart decisions
C. has a brain that functions differently to other people
D. centralizes perceptual thinking in one part of the brain
44. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 means the iconoclasts' brains _______.
A. work more efficiently than the average person's brain
B. interpret information more accurately than the average person's brain
C. do not have a fixed energy budget as the average person's brain
D. D. do not take perceptual shortcuts as much as the average person's brain
45. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. One-third of the population are too shy to do public speaking.
B. Exposure to different events forces the brain to think differently.
C. If you think in an iconoclastic way, you can easily overcome fear.
D. Social intelligence is more a matter of personality than brain function.

【44题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线部分后面的句子The best way to see things differently is to bombard (轰炸) the brain with things it has never encountered before. Novelty releases the perceptual process from the chains of past experience and forces the brain to make new judgments.Successful iconoclasts have an extraordinary willingness to embrace what is fresh while most people avoid things that are different.可知,用不同方式看待事物的最好方法是用大脑从前没有遇到过的东西来轰炸它。新颖将感知过程从过去的经验中释放出来,迫使大脑做出新的判断。,反传统思维者拥有非凡的意愿去拥抱新鲜事物,而大多数人避免不同的事物。由此推测划线句子的意思是“反传统者的大脑运转比普通人的大脑高效”。 A. work more efficiently than the average person’s brain(运转比普通人的大脑高效)符合以上说法,故选A项。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段There are many types of fear, but the two that prevent iconoclastic thinking are fear of uncertainty and fear of public ridicule. The fear of public speaking troubles one-third of the population. It is simply a common feature of human nature, one which iconoclasts do not let stop their reactions.(恐惧有很多种,但阻止反传统思维的恐惧有两种,一种是对不确定的恐惧,一种是对公众嘲讽的恐惧。三分之一的人都恐惧公开演讲。这不过是人类的共性,反传统者不会让这个恐惧阻止他们的反应)可推测,如果我们学会了反传统思维,就可以克服恐惧。C. If you think in an iconoclastic way, you can easily overcome fear.(如果你用反传统方式思维,你可以很容易地克服恐惧)符合以上推测,故选C项。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Cool Butterfly Effect: Insect Equipment Could Inspire Heat-Radiating Tech
Devising better cooling materials has become a pressing issue as the climate warms, and some scientists are turning to nature for ideas. Small creatures with low body mass, such as insects, have to deal with the fact that they warm up much faster than large mammals. When butterflies land on tree
branches in the sun, for example, their relatively large wings can overheat within seconds.
___46___ Researchers have now uncovered these colorful insects' built-in cooling mechanisms.
Heat is generated by the vibration of molecules. The more molecules a material can expose on its surface, the more heat it can release in a process called radiative cooling. Those made of folded layers shaped like waves, for example, cool off much faster than solid objects because they have more exposed surface area. ___47___ The wings themselves are complex systems that contain both living and nonliving structures, covered by various types of scales made of chitin—a rigid substance that is also found in some fungi(真菌). The researchers found that the scales covering these structures have different shapes that radiate heat in different ways. ___48___
The scientists' work is ''remarkable'', says Aaswath Raman, a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. ''___49___ Butterfly wings are extremely light, and the microstructures involved are extremely small and thin. So this discovery can inspire ways of getting rid of heat in very lightweight systems. ''
___50___ It might work in a variety of colors. Many conventional buildings tend to be white because that it does not absorb heat. But painting too many things white does not look pleasing, says Qiaoqiang Gan, a photonics scientist. ''We still need a colorful world, '' Gan says, noting how vivid butterflies are in nature. ''Butterfly wings give us an example that colorful structures can also result in cooling. ''
A. So they have evolved sophisticated ways to cool themselves.
B. We can make these microstructures into our own artificial processes.
C. It turns out that parts of butterflies' wings exploit a similar principle.
D. To decipher how these complex systems work, the team studied several types of butterflies
E. Such structures release warmth very efficiently, protecting the organs from overheating.
F. Along with its light weight, a butterfly-inspired cooling material might have another advantage.
G. Although far from a commercial application, such resulting material could eventually be used for purposes such as painting buildings.
【答案】46. A 47. C 48. D 49. B 50. F
