Known for its complicated, seemingly wavelike sandstone walls and the rays of sunlight that
shine into them, Arizona's Antelope Canyon(羚羊峡谷)is an everlasting attraction for tourists. It's a
slot canyon, meaning it formed from water carving it out over millions of years. It sits about 3, 700
feet above sea level and takes its name from the antelope that once lived in it.
The canyon forms part of Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park in the Navajo Nation. The Navajo
Nation limits visits to either the Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon to two hours and requires all
visitors to be led by authorized guides. If you're planning a trip and need help deciding which area to
visit, keep these recommendations in mind.
•When: Tours are available twice a day during the week year-round, though exact times vary by
season;tours are not available on weekends or major holidays.
•Cost: Tour companies 5 fees vary, but tickets, including entrance to the park, generally start at
around $ 60 for 90-minute tours of Upper Antelope Canyon. Tours of Lower Antelope Canyon tend
to be around an hour and generally cost around $ 40 per adult and $ 20 for children.
• Must-know tip: Most of Arizona does not follow daylight saving time, though the Navajo
Nation, where Antelope Canyon is located, does. Check with your tour operator to confirm the
precise time of your tour.
Antelope Canyon hosts tons of visitors and, in order to protect the canyon walls from damage,
no bags of any kind are permitted in either the Upper or Lower section. Also keep in mind that while
most tour companies welcome small children, not all of them will.
1. What makes Antelope Canyon attractive?
A. Its remarkable height.
B. The origin of its name.
C. Its unique natural feature.
D. he process of its formation.
2. How much may a couple pay for a one-hour tour in Lower Antelope Canyon?

Philadelphia's Magic Gardens makes up a folk art center, gallery space, and a nonprofit
organization showcasing the works of mosaicist(镶嵌设计师)Isaiah Zagar.
Zagar devoted himself to beautifying the South Street neighborhood in the late 1960s, when he
moved to the area with his wife Julia. The couple helped the area by purchasing and repairing some
old buildings, often adding colorful mosaics on both their private and public walls. The first such
project was Julia's still-busy folk art store, the Eyes Gallery at 402 South Street.
Zagar started working on the Magic Gardens in 1994 in the deserted parking lot near his studio.
He spent the next fourteen years sculpting multi-layered walls and decorating the 3, 000 square foot
space. The installation(装置艺术),primarily consisting of found objects and contributions from the
community, finally covers half a city block with countless patterns and colors. It shows Zagar's many
artistic influences, as well as the events and experiences of his life.
In 2002,the owner of the once-unused parking lot decided to sell the land in response to rising
South Street property values. Unwilling to witness the destruction of Zagar's neighborhood art
environment, the community rushed to support the artist. His creation, newly titled Philadelphia's
Magic Gardens, turned into a nonprofit organization with the intention of preserving and promoting
Zagar's works at the site of the Magic Gardens and throughout the South Street region.
The Magic Gardens is now a permanent art institution that is open to visitors throughout the
year. Trained guides are available to lead tours of the Magic Gardens and Zagar's surrounding public
wall paintings. In addition, it offers monthly mosaic workshops led by Zagar himself, and regularly
hosts concerts, dance performances, and other public events.
4. How did Zagar help the South Street neighborhood?
A. He moved to the area with his family.
B. He worked to improve its surroundings.
C. He opened a folk art store with his wife.
D. He managed to buy all the old buildings.
5. What does Paragraph 3 intend to tell us?
A. Great achievements of Zagar.
B. Special skills of installing art.
C. Location of the Magic Gardens
D. Early history of the Magic Gardens.
6. What do the local residents think of Zagar's works?
A. They harm environment.
B. They can bring in profits.
C. They should be removed.
D. They are precious treasures.
7 What can tourists do in Philadelphia's Magic Gardens?
A. Paint the walls on the spot.
B. Put on music performances.
C. Enjoy some Zagar's works.
D. Attend some dance courses.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C

平方英尺的空间。这个装置艺术最后用无数的图案和色彩覆盖了这个城市街区的一半。其显

由于南街地产价值攀升,这个曾经无人使用的停车场的主人决定出售这块地。社区的人不愿
看到 Zagar 的社区艺术环境遭到破坏,纷纷声援这位艺术家。从邻居的行为可推知当地居民
认为 Zagar的作品是珍贵的宝物。故选 D项。

细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The Magic Gardens is now a permanent art institution that is
open to visitors throughout the year. Trained guides are available to lead tours of the Magic Gardens

Telling someone they are not hired is never an easy job, but all hiring managers will face this
difficult situation many times in their careers. While everyone fears denial on some level, it is
important to understand that not everyone will fit in every job. Further, there are times when the
applicant quality will be so great, a decision to reject an applicant may not reflect on that applicant's
abilities but the overall quality of the field.
There are a number of methods that can be used to get the message across that a person is not
hired. In many cases, especially for those who were never called for an interview, a simple form
letter may be sufficient. In other cases, where someone may have been called for an interview, a
phone call or letter could be chosen to deliver the message that they were not hired. In cases where
there may be an ongoing relationship with the person not hired, it may be best to break the news in
person, though this has the obvious potential of being more uncomfortable. Above all, it is best to
always be honest with those who didn't get the job. Lying is never acceptable.
Generally, it is not a good idea to tell someone specific reasons why they are not hired for a job.
This can only lead to resentment(怨恨)and regret. However, there may be specific times when this
could be a good idea. For example, if an applicant is promising and the hiring manager believes
another position will be opening up that suits the applicant's skills, this could be a way to let that
person know they may soon have another opportunity.
In all cases, even if you feel someone has cheated to obtain an interview, never behave in a way
which shows you are superior to them. This is unprofessional and reflects very poorly not only on
the hiring manager, but the organization as a whole.
8. Why are some applicants refused according to Paragraph 1?
A. They are interested in other fields.
B. They don't qualify for the position.
C. They are afraid of making decisions.
D. They lack the courage to face failures.
9. How may a not-interviewed applicant be informed of the rejection?
A. By receiving a formal phone call.
B. By getting a simple form letter.
C. By checking a message online.
D. By attending a personal meeting.
10. In what case will applicants be told exactly why they are not hired?
A. They regret applying for the job.
B. They demand specific explanations.
C. They may be capable of another post.
D. They have submitted false information.
11. What can be inferred about the position of hiring managers?
A. It calls for professional skills.
B. It attracts the applicants most.
C. It doesn't allow for any mistake.
D It requires honesty and ambition.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章作者对招聘者如何告诉求职者没有被录用提出了一些看法和建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“While everyone fears denial on some level, it is important to
understand that not everyone will fit in every job.( 虽然每个人都在某种程度上害怕被否定,但重
要的是要明白,不是每个人都能胜任每一份工作。)”可知,有些申请者会被拒绝是因为他们
不适合这个职位。故选 B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In many cases, especially for those who were never called for an
interview, a simple form letter may be sufficient. (在很多情况下,特别是那些从未被要求面试的
人来说,一封简单形式的信就足够了。)”可知,通知未接受面试的申请人,可以通过一封简
单的信函。故选 B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“However, there may be specific times when this could be a good
idea. For example, if an applicant is promising and the hiring manager believes another position will
be opening up that suits the applicant's skills, this could be a way to let that person know they may
soon have another opportunity. (然而,在某些特定的时间,这可能是个好主意。例如,如果一个
应聘者很有前途,而招聘经理认为会有一个适合他技能的职位出现,这可以让那个人知道他
们很快就会有另一个机会。)”可知,当应聘者也许能胜任另一个职位,申请人可以被告知为
什么他们没有被录用。故选 C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后第一段“In all cases, even if you feel someone has cheated to obtain an
interview, never behave in a way which shows you are superior to them. This is unprofessional and
reflects very poorly not only on the hiring manager, but the organization as a whole. (在任何情况
下,即使你觉得有人为了获得面试机会而欺骗了你,也不要表现得比他们优越。这样做很不
专业,不仅会给招聘经理,也会给整个组织带来不好的影响。)”可推断出,关于招聘经理的
职位,需要专业技能。故选 A。
D
Few people doubt the value of developing students' thinking skills. A focus on critical thinking
is common in education. In the Australian Curriculum, critical thinking and creative thinking are
known as “general capabilities”. The US has a similar focus through their “common core".
Many approaches to developing critical thinking are based on Philosophy for Children. One
strategy that has a large impact on students' ability to analyse and evaluate arguments is argument
mapping in which a student's reasoning can be visually displayed by capturing the inferential
pathway from assumption to conclusion. This type of argument-based intellectual engagement can
show high outcomes in terms of the quality of thinking in any classroom. Research also shows
deliberate attention to the practice of reasoning in the context of our everyday lives can be
significantly improved through targeted teaching.
Teachers at one high school in Australia, who have much training in critical thinking teaching
methods, developed a task that asked students to determine Australia's greatest sports person.
Students needed to construct their own criteria for greatness. To do so, they had to analyze the
Australian sporting context, create possible evaluative standards, explain and justify why some
standards would be more acceptable than others and apply these to their candidates. They then
needed to argue their case with their classmates to develop criteria that were solid, defensible, widely
applicable and produced a choice that seized significant and relevant aspects of Australian sport.
Researchers looking at the gains made in a single term of teaching critical thinking with
argument mapping said the critical thinking gains measured are close to those that could be expected
to result from three years of undergraduate education. Students who are taught to think well also do
better on subject-based exams and standardized tests than those who do not.
In terms of developing 21st century skills, which includes setting up students for lifelong
learning, teaching critical thinking should be core business.
12. Which of the following can explain the underlined word “capturing" in Paragraph 2?
A. Describing. B. Attracting. C. Designing. D. Blocking.
13. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3?
A. To construct the criteria for being great.
B. To acknowledge the teachers' outcomes.
C. To present how to teach critical thinking.
D. To emphasize the importance of reasoning.
14. What is the author's attitude toward teaching critical thinking?
A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Cautious.
15. What does this text imply?
A. Teaching methods should vary among schools.
B. Research on education deserves more attention.
C. Critical thinking should be valued in education.
D. Concepts of critical thinking aren't well received.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】

第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2. 5 分,满分 12. 5 分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两
项为多余选项。
It's impossible to provide an exact number of words in English, since new words are being
added to the dictionary, and falling out of use constantly. ___16___
The short answer is: about a million. Doubt you know anything even close to a million words?
That number includes any number of legal, medical, scientific, and mechanical terms that most
people will never meet in their day-to-day lives. ___17___
The “million" number also includes the many, many words that have fallen out of use
throughout the time.___18___ Consider the word “diddle",a slang term from the 1700s that means
“gin". Many English speakers would recognize “gin",but far fewer would recognize “ diddle”.
If a million words is the absolute upper level, how does that compare with the general
vocabulary of most English speakers? ___19___Most English-speaking adults know between
20,000 and 30,000 words. And in addition to those many thousands of words, they're probably able
to comprehend a good 20,000 more just from context clues.
___20___You won't find a single dictionary that includes anywhere close to the total million
words. One of the reasons is that general-usage dictionaries don't include lots of technical
terms—both because of how uncommon they are and, in some cases, because of length. The longest
word in the English language is a term from chemistry that is used to identify a certain kind of
protein. It is 180,000 letters long. So you certainly won't see it in the dictionary.
A. But what's the number?
B. More than you might think!
C. That doesn't amount to a whole lot, though!
D. Then, how many words are there in the book?
E. While words like these are very uncommon, they still count.
F. If you recognize these uncommon words, we sadly no longer use them.
G. Though removed from the dictionary, they still count as English words.
【答案】16. A 17. E 18. G 19. B 20. D
【解析】

43. me 44. if
45. have recovered
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了,作者和丈夫感染冠状病毒的经历。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。此句是主系表结构,并列连词 and后面是形容词 cruel,此空也用形容词作表语。
故填 violent。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:我的丈夫路易斯和我一直在试图弄清楚我们第一次接触病毒的地方,我们
认为是三月初那个周五的晚上,我们出去庆祝他妹妹的生日。固定搭配 contact with,意为
“与……接触”,应用介词 with。故填 with。
【38题详解】
考查动词不定式。此处指“出去庆祝他姐姐的生日”,表目的,应用动词不定式(to do)表目的。
故填 to celebrate。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。a Mexican restaurant是先行词,后接一个非限制性定语从句,先行词在
从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词 where。故填 where。
【40题详解】
考查现在分词。此句已有谓语动 think词且无连词,此处用非谓语形式,主语 we和动词 look
是逻辑上的主动关系,应用现在分词(doing)表主动,作时间状语,注意首字母大写。故填
Looking。
【41题详解】
考查主谓一致。主语是 Sharing food and drinks,动名词作主语,谓语用单数,此处指一般事实,
用一般现在时。故填 is。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。此处指“一种典型的感冒”,表泛指,应用不定冠词,typical以辅音音素开头,应用
不定冠词 a。故填 a。
【43题详解】
考查代词。谓语动词 took后接宾格,应用宾格 me。故填 me。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意:医生肯定我会检测出冠状病毒阳性,但如果我想确定的话,他给了我检测
的选择权。由语境可知,此处表“条件”,应用连词 if。故填 if。
【45题详解】
考查时态。Now that(既然、由于),相当于 since,引导原因状语从句,用现在完成时(has/have
done),recover这个动作表示过去发生对现在产生的影响。故填 have recovered。

47.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。 续写
的词数应为 150左右。
When Jayce Crowder was in kindergarten, he began noticing that he looked different from his
classmates. They had two hands. But he had only one.
It started when one boy teased him. Jayce was in a bad mood. He'd return home in Des Moines,
Iowa, with questions: Why am I different? Why me? Why? “He actually told us that he was mad at
looking so different from others," said his mother, Cortney Lewis. “That really hurt him."
Lewis admitted she didn't know what to do at that point. How could she provide answers to her
son's questions when she had never found those answers herself?
A few weeks later, Lewis came home from her job and turned on the TV to a news story about
Trashaun Willis, an eighth grader from Washington, Iowa. The boy, then 14, had become an Internet
star after posting videos of his slam clunks(扣篮),and, like Jayce, he was missing most of his left
arm. Lewis called Jayce in. He was shocked, staring at one dunk after another.
At the time, it seemed that watching Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for
Jayce---he'd see a shining role model with a seemingly similar born disability. And had it stayed just
that, Lewis would have been happy. But little did she know that a family friend had already reached
out to the Des Moines Register, asking the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun to
build Jayce‘s confidence.
“It reassured me," said Lewis. “I know in my heart that everything's going to be OK. Trashaun
has grown up to be a wonderful kid. And I know Jayce is too."
Trashaun did get serious with Jayce. Finally, the boys met at Washington Middle School on a
Saturday afternoon a couple of months later, in April 2017, and they instantly bonded.
【答案】Paragraph 1:
The day was not spent on self-pity-it was really fun and unforgettable. They rode bikes around the
school’s hallways, took photos, and played hide-and-seek. Trashaun taught Jayce how to slam dunks.
He even gave Jayce a shirt as a gift. He talked about their left arms. He told Jayce he was perfect the
way he looked. He encouraged him not to let anyone drag him down and shake his confidence.
Paragraph 2:
After the meeting, Jayce learned to accept his disability. He began to understand that there are many
people like him. He came to adapt himself to his disability. He recently started practising shooting
basketball every day and he really loves it. Jayce often chats with Trashaun on the Internet about
basketball skills as well as some school issues. He is really motivated by this role model and has a
positive attitude to his future life. As for Trashaun, he never dreamed that his videos would have
such an impact. His relationship with Jayce made him look forward to helping more kids.
【解析】
【分析】
本篇书面表达是读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知,Jayce 左臂残缺,受到同学的嘲笑,母亲不知如何向他解释,
同样左臂残缺的 Trashaun在网络上上传了自己扣篮的视频,很快受到欢迎,Jayce 和他的母亲
看完视频,信心大增。Jayce 与 Trashaun见面后很快成为朋友。Jayce 意识到世界上还有和他
一样的人,他对自己的未来充满信心。
续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:这一天不用再在自怜中度过,所以接下来写的内容是这
是一个难忘的日子,因为这一天 Jayce 见到 Trashaun及他们所做的事情,如在学校的过道里骑
自行车、照相、玩捉迷藏等;同时要详细描述 Trashaun如何鼓励 Jayce,如告诉他看起来很好,
不要因为任何人而沮丧且要对自己有信心。第二段开头是:Trashaun与 Jayce会面之后,所以
接下来写的内容是 Jayce 在见到 Trashaun之后受他鼓励之后的改变。要详细描述 Jayce 具体改
变,如 Jayce开始接受自己的残疾,开始练习投篮并对未来的生活充满积极乐观的态度。文章
最后也谈到 Trashaun认为他应该帮助更多的像 Jayce一样的孩子。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当,使用了高级词汇。如:adapt oneself to,positive attitude,look forward
to,drag down等高级词汇。
