【6题详解】

Weddell Seal
They are the southernmost pinniped(鳍足类的)in the world. Males are generally smaller than females. Interestingly,a newborn pup has a coat of long hair,which they will shed(脱落) within the first month as the protective layer of their body is developed.
Blue Whale
Named for its blue•gray color,this huge animal may grow to be roughly 100 feet long and weigh more than 120 tons!A blue whale eats about 4 tons of krill(磷虾)per day during the feeding season!This means that about 40 million krill are eaten every day for six months by a blue whale!The tongue of the blue whale can be as big as a Volkswagen!The blue whale is the loudest animal on earth!
Rockhopper Penguins

Emperor Penguin
Emperor Penguins are the biggest of the 17 penguin species. They are flightless birds. They are the only living species to reproduce during the harsh Antarctic winter. Without a nest,the father Emperor Penguin keeps the egg warm by holding it on his feet for 2-3 months until spring,during which the father doesn’t eat anything and he just eats a little snow for moisture.

细节理解题。根据文章第五段“This species of albatross wanders the oceans for months at a time searching for food. It sleeps on the ocean surface at night and drinks sea water.The Wandering Albatross is the largest bird in the world in terms of wing span—11 feet!”可知,漂泊信天翁在海洋上漂泊数月寻找食物,晚上睡在大洋水面上,喝海水。信天翁是世界上最大的鸟类,翼展11英尺。所以从第五段我们知道信天翁是一种善于游泳和飞行的鸟。故选B。

【点睛】文章内容较为简单,集中考查细节题,对此类题型,考生可以首先从问题中找到关键词然后以此为线索,运用略读及查阅的技巧在文中迅速寻找这一细节找到后再把这一部分内容仔细阅读一遍,仔细比较所给选项与文中细节的细微区别。如小题3选择项中关键词的hard to see,到文章找到关键词rarely seen。所以我们考生要通过比较这些细微区别,仔细辨别才能得出答案。
B
Wu Lien Teh was born in 1879. At the age of 17, he went to England to study medicine at the University of Cambridge. In 1907 Dr. Wu accepted an invitation from the Qing government to work for an army medical college in Tianjin.
In October 1910, an unknown illness appeared in the city of Manzhouli, on the Russian and Chinese border. The disease swiftly spread along the rail lines in Manchuria and reached the cities of Harbin and Changchun, killing 99.9% of its victims in just a few short weeks. As many of the railways were under the control of Russia and Japan, it became an international incident. The Japanese government offered to send experts to manage the growing disease, but the Qing government worried that aid from Japan would only serve to further Japanese ambitions in this area. Therefore, the government turned to Wu, requesting he travel from Tianjin to Harbin and investigate.
When Dr. Wu arrived in Harbin on Christmas Eve, 1910, he carried only a few medical instruments and had only one assistant. One of Wu’s first acts was to order an autopsy(验尸)on a recent victim. There had been a long-standing taboo(禁忌)in China against such examinations. Wu insisted and found evidence of Yersinia Pestis(鼠疫杆菌). He then set up isolation area and ordered lockdown to stop victims from traveling and spreading the disease. He also had teams check households for possible cases, and even managed to convince Russian and Japanese governments to completely close the railways in the early weeks of 1911. Dr. Wu even requested the local
government to burn the bodies of victims. Over 3000 bodies were burned on Chinese New Year, January 30, 1911. Thanks to Dr. Wu’s efforts, the number of victims began to decrease, and by March 1, 1911, the disease was fully contained.
The plague(传染病)lasted nearly four months, affected five provinces and six major cities, and caused over 60,000 deaths. It is clear that without the actions taken by Dr. Wu it could have been much worse. Had the plague gone unchecked, allowing holiday rail passengers to spread to the rest of China, it could have meant a huge loss of life and a global health crisis. For a time, Dr. Wu was the most famous Chinese plague fighter in the world.
34. What is the meaning of the underlined word "contained" in Paragraph 3?
A. covered B. included
C. increased D. under control
35. From the story, we could learn that Dr. Wu was a /an ______person.
A. determined B. ambitious
C. stubborn D. kind
36. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The disease appeared first in Harbin.
B. Nobody survived before Wu Lien Teh came.
C. The government sent Wu to Harbin because of the Japanese.
D. A lot of Russians and Japanese died from the disease.
37. Which of following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Spread of a Plague in 1910
B. The Damage of a Plague in 1910
C. An Introduction of Dr. Wu’s life
D. The Chinese Doctor who Beat the Plague
【答案】34. D 35. A 36. C 37. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇人物介绍。文章主要介绍了1910年10月,在中俄边境的满洲里,出现了一种未知的疾病,短短几个周内99%的感染者死亡。伍连德医生成为世界上最著名的中国抗疫战士,使得场瘟疫迅速得到控制。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“Thanks to Dr. Wu’s efforts, the number of victims began to decrease, and by March 1, 1911, the disease was fully contained.”可知,在吴医生的努力下,患者人数开始减少。所以可以推知,到1911年3月1日,疾病得到了完全控制。从而猜测出contained的含义为“完全控制”之意。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“One of Wu’s first acts was to order an autopsy(验尸)on a recent victim. There had been a long-standing taboo(禁忌)in China against such examinations. Wu insisted and found evidence of Yersinia Pestis(鼠疫杆菌). He then set up isolation area and ordered lockdown to stop victims from traveling and spreading the disease. He also had teams check households for possible cases, and even managed to convince Russian and Japanese governments to completely close the railways in the early weeks of 1911. Dr. Wu even requested the local government to burn the bodies of victims.”可知,伍连德医生坚持验尸,发现鼠疫杆菌,设立隔离区,并下令封锁,派人检查各家各户的情况,说服俄罗斯和日本政府完全关闭铁路,要求当地政府焚烧遇难者遗体。从这些都可以看出,虽然困难重重,但他都做到了。从而推断出伍连德医生是一位有决心的人。故选A。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The Japanese government offered to send experts to manage the growing disease, but the Qing government worried that aid from Japan would only serve to further Japanese ambitions in this area. Therefore, the government turned to Wu, requesting he travel from Tianjin to Harbin and investigate. (日本政府提出派遣专家来管理日益严重的疾病,但清政府担心来自日本的援助只会助长日本在这一领域的野心。于是,政府求助于吴,请他从天津前往哈尔滨调查。)”可知,因为害怕日本人的野心,清政府派伍连德到哈尔滨调查。故选C。
【37题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“For a time, Dr. Wu was the most famous Chinese plague fighter in the world.”及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了1910年10月,在中俄边境的满洲里,出现了一种未知的疾病,短短几个周内99%的感染者死亡。伍连德医生成为世界上最著名的中国抗疫战士,使得场瘟疫迅速得到控制。所以用“The Chinese Doctor who Beat the Plague(打败瘟疫的中国医生)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。
【点睛】
阅读理解通常都会出现词义猜测题,要求考生从上下文理解中概括出生词或短语的词义。考生作此类题型时,首先要找到所猜测词所在文章的位置,然后在理解文章大意的基础之上,对此词前后句反复研读,最后根据前后句猜测出词义。例如小题1要求猜测出contained的含义,就是根据文章第三段“Thanks to Dr. Wu’s efforts, the number of victims began to decrease, and by March 1, 1911, the disease was fully contained.”可知,在吴医生的努力下,患者人数开始减少。所以可以推知,到1911年3月1日,疾病得到了完全控制。从而推测出contained为“完全控制”之意。
C
People have been told to stay separated — at least six feet apart— and to practice what state and local officials call “social distancing”. Some have been asked to work at home. But as people try to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, the resulting chaos and fear are bringing both large and small communities closer.
Simple acts of kindness are sprouting up online and in public, as neighbors, students, teachers, and others begin to connect those who can pass this long and isolating time smoothly, and the people who may not have the means to get through.
For Jesse Farren-James, helping out has taken the form of organizing trips to the supermarkets for supplies, and use of her membership card if anyone needs to buy large quantities. She posted the offer in a Facebook group for the community residents(居民), and some people came and turned to her. “I just feel so lucky that I have so many people in my life to rely on and so sad that not everyone has that,” she wrote in the group. In another interview, Farren-James said the “community is coming together" and “there are so many good and amazing people” offering to help where they can.
Also, parents in Dorchester have gathered together online. In a Facebook group called DotParents, parents have been raising money to buy food and supplies for students and families in the community. Lisa Graustein has been organizing this activity. On Thursday, she used the more than $2,000 raised by neighbors to purchase food in a restaurant supply company. A group of volunteers packed the food and planned to distribute to schools for those who may need it.
“Food shortage is real in our city and this crisis is going to be severe.” Graustein said. “But here’s something we can do that deal better with the hard time”. This idea is spreading. She said friends in four other states had being running similar campaigns.
Next, she wants to find a way to get landlords(房东)to temporarily abandon rent for
residents in financial difficulties because of the outbreak.
38. What do we know about Jesse Farren-James?
A. She is a shopping assistant working for a supermarket.
B. She is wealthy and always ready to help others.
C. She lent her membership card to the people in need.
D. She felt sad that not everyone has enough food.
39. The underlined phrase in paragraph 2 “sprouting up” can be best replaced by ______.
A. disappearing B. growing
C. connecting D. helping
40. What did parents in Dorchester do to offer help?
A. They bought food from the supermarket for community children.
B. They set up a restaurant supply company to provide food.
C. They raised money to deal with food shortage.
D. They distributed money to community residents.
41. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. Acts of kindness in coronavirus outbreak
B. Effects of social media in coronavirus outbreak

D
Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, “In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that this is the case, why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决): stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask nonthreatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.
Finally, students need to consider what they are bearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these:How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual(彼此共同的)solution.
There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.
42. This article is mainly about ________.
A. the lives of school children
B. the cause of arguments in schools
C. how to analyze youth violence
D. how to deal with school conflicts
43. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________.
A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime
B. a small conflict can lead to violence
C. students tend to lose their temper easily
D. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight
44. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?
A. To find out who is to blame.
B. To get ready to try new things.
C. To make clear what the real issue is.
D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.
45. The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to ________.
A. complain about problems in school education
B. teach students different strategies for school life
C. advocate teaching conflict management in schools
D. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violence
【答案】42. D 43. B 44. C 45. C
【解析】
本文属于说明文,本文主要介绍的是如何处理校园中的冲突的四个步骤。
【42题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章2-4段首句First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决): stay calm. After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution: listening. Finally, students need to consider what they are bearing.可知,学生需要意识到冲突是不可避免的。一旦学生认识到冲突是不可避免的,他们就可以实践解决冲突的黄金法则:保持冷静。在双方都冷静下来后,他们可以使用另一个解决冲突的关键策略:倾听。最后,学生需要考虑他们所承受的压力。本文主要介绍的是如何处理校园中的冲突的四个步骤。故D项正确。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据本段第二句A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult.可知,一份关于中学生和高中生之间的暴力行为的报告指出,大多数学生之间的暴力事件开始于相对轻微的侮辱。所以在学校中的学生冲突都是由一些小事情引起的。故B项正确。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第三句It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish.可知,我们要让学生明白真正的问题是什么以及双方想要得到什么样的目的。由此判断出,为什么学生需要问自己第5段中提到的问题是为了让学生明白真正的问题是什么。 故C项正确。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后两句Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.可知,学会解决冲突可以帮助学生处理好与朋友、老师、父母、老板和同事的关系。通过这种方式,解决冲突是一项基本的生活技能,应该在全国各地的学校教授。由此判断出短文的目的是倡导在学校中要教育学生如何处理冲突,故C正确。

Develop Note-Taking Skills
While attending a lecture, students are often surprised that their teacher can pick out a speaker’s main points, evidence, and techniques. Of course, the teacher knows what to listen for and has had plenty of practice. But the next time you get an opportunity, watch your teacher during a speech. Chances are she or he will be listening with pen and paper. ___46___
Unfortunately, many people don’t take notes effectively. Some try to write down everything a speaker says. They view note taking as a race, pitting their handwriting agility(敏捷) against the speaker’s rate of speech. ___47___But soon the speaker is winning the race. The speaker pulls so far ahead that the note taker can never catch up. Finally, the note taker admits defeat and spends the rest of the speech grumbling in frustration.
___48___They arrive armed with pen, notebook, and the best of intentions. They know they
can’t write down everything, so they settle comfortably in their seats and wait for the speaker to say something that grabs their attention. Every once in a while the speaker rewards them with a joke, a dramatic story, or a startling fact. Then the note taker seizes pen, jots down a few words, and leans back dreamily to await the next fascinating tidbit(趣闻). By the end of the lecture the note taker has a set of tidbits—and little or no record of the speaker’s important ideas.
As these examples illustrate, they don’t know what to listen for, and they don’t know how to record what they do listen for. The solution to the first problem is to focus on a speaker’s main points and evidence. ___49___
Although there are a number of systems, most students find the key-word outline best for listening to speeches. As its name suggests, this method briefly notes a speaker’s main points and supporting evidence in rough outline form. By separating main points from sub-points and evidence, the outline format shows the relationships among the speaker’s ideas. ___50___But with a little effort you will become a better note taker.
A. As the speaker starts to talk, the note taker starts to write
B. Most inefficient note takers suffer from one or both of two problems.
C. Perfecting this taking requires practice.
D Taking effective notes usually helps you receive higher grades.
E. Some people go to the opposite extreme.
F. But once you know what to listen for, you still need a sound method of note taking.
G. When note taking is done properly, it is sure to keep track of a speaker’s ideas.
【答案】46. G 47. A 48. E 49. F 50. C

【50题详解】

How is everything going? Knowing that you are crazy about Chinese culture, I am writing to invite you to enjoy a fabulous Beijing Opera.
Mulan Joins the Army, known as one of the most famous Beijing Opera, will be put on in Mei Lanfang Grand Theatre on the afternoon of June 1st.

It tells an inspiring story of a girl named Mulan who joins the army for her father and finally becomes a general through her own efforts.
The reasons why I would like to send you the invitation are as follows. To start with, since you always show great interest in Beijing Opera, this is a great chance for you to be exposed to the rich
opera atmosphere and have your visual and auditory senses fully fulfilled. Besides, it also provides you a chance to refresh yourself from the heavy study load. You know, there is nothing better than music for a person to relax with, let alone the wonderful live opera show. Most importantly, I do think the opera will benefit you a lot in understanding the unique traditional Chinese culture and inspire you to pursue your dream like Mulan.
So what do you think of it? Would you like to come? If you’re interested, please let me know as soon as possible so that I can book the tickets for us.

本书面表达是一篇提纲类书面表达,要求以李华的名义给美国朋友Hannah 写一封电子邮件。
【详解】本文为书信类作文,要求写一封电子邮件,邀请Hannah 一起观看京剧《木兰从军》演出,包括告知Hannah演出时间,地点,并简述邀请原因。虽然要点已经给出,但是需要进行适当的扩展,如简要介绍《木兰从军》的内容、邀请的原因等等。注意使用连接词,使作文连贯,注意时态,人称主要用第一人称和第三人称。同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。特别注意在选择句式时要赋予变化。
【点睛】范文内容完整,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多主从复合句,如:Knowing that you are crazy about Chinese culture, I am writing to invite you to enjoy a fabulous Beijing Opera.这句话运用了现在分词作状语;It tells an inspiring story of a girl named Mulan who joins the army for her father and finally becomes a general through her own efforts.和The reasons why I would like to send you the invitation are as follows.这两句话运用了定语从句;使用了一些固定词组,如be known as ; as soon as possible; so that等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式,显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外,文章思路清晰、层次分明,上下句转换自然,为文章增色添彩。
