My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved is what I am doing now.

【答案】1. thankful
2. made 3. for
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。“我”以书籍为友,从写书的作家们那里获得正能量,自己也走上了写作的道路。
【1题详解】
考查形容词的用法。句意:书籍是我的朋友,那时,我是如此感激作者们写出了这些书。分析句子可知,填空处和so一起作表语,应用形容词。故填thankful。
【2题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:在熬过了学校和家庭的糟糕经历后,在接下来人生历程中我选择了一条乐观积极的道路。此句在描述过去发生的事,空缺处是主句的谓语动词,故填made。
【3题详解】
考查介词的用法。句意:我从2007年开始成为了一名全职的青少年小说家,一直以来感恩于有这样一个极好的机会可以每天跟我的读者们交流。分析句子可知,此空缺处应有介词,be grateful for ,“因…而感激”是固定短语,词义符合本题语境,故填for。
- 25 -
【点睛】动词的一般过去时态是一个常考的点。记住动词一般过去式的用法,可用下面的歌诀:动词一般过去时,表示过去发生事。句中谓语用过去式,过去时间做标记。否定句,很简单,主语之后didn’t添。疑问构成也有法,主语前面did加。还有一点不能删,后面动词要还原。如上文第二小题,after从句标记了明显的过去时间,故用make的过去式形式填空,做主句的谓语。
B

5. dealing 6. why
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在一些方面,机器人比人类有优势,因为它们高效、不会累、可以修理、也不会生病。新型冠状病毒的爆发尤其可以突显这一点。
【4题详解】

【5题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此处应填非谓语动词作状语,逻辑主语workers和动词短语deal with之间是主动关系,应用现在分词,故填dealing。
【6题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:这就是为什么新型冠状病毒的爆发被看作是机器人开始在某些工作领域取代人类的“引爆点”。分析句子可知,设空处引导表语从句,从句成分完整,但缺少“为什么”之意,引导词在从句中作原因状语,应用连接词副词why,故填why。

阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

8. assistants
9. are spent
10. its
【解析】
本文是说明文,介绍了一款单机游戏Animal Crossing: New Horizons《动物之森:新地平线》。
【7题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这是一款悠然自在生活的模拟游戏,在游戏中玩家可以自由地随心所欲地度过那些日子。分析句子结构,“____gamers are free to fill the days however they like”是定语从句,先行词是a low-pressure life simulation (模拟) game,关系词在从句中作地点状语,可理解为“在这款游戏中”,应用where引导定语从句。故填where。
【8题详解】
考查可数名词单复数。句意:游戏玩家可以做任何他们想做的事情,包括与朋友联系和与许多动物助手互动。所填词在句中作interacting with的宾语,应该是名词;assist是动词,名词形式为assistant,意思为“助手”;在many后应是可数名词的复数形式,故填assistants。
【9题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:(玩家的)时间花在在岛上捕鱼、采摘水果和种植庄稼。根据句意,此处是短语spend time on …“把时间花在……上”;主语days和spend之间是逻辑上的被动关系,应该用被动语态;文章是说明这一款游戏的内容,全文用一般现在时;因此此处用一般现在时的被动语态be done;主语Days是复数意义,谓语动词应该用复数形式;spend是不规则变化动词,过去分词为spent。故填are spent。
- 25 -
【10题详解】
考查代词。句意:但毫无疑问,这款游戏以其简单而温暖的特点成功地在这个社交距离时代为公众带来了快乐和信任。句子的主语是it,指代上面提到的the game,此处相应地用形容词性物主代词its,意思为“它的”。故填its。

B
My daughter was being thrown out of the sixth grade. The teacher said, “She may not be up to what we’re trying to accomplish.” He was really saying she didn’t have the intelligence. I got mad because I knew she was smart, just as my father had known I was smart when I was failing in school. We had her tested. I decided to get myself tested as well, and found that the troubles she was having were exactly what I had had — dyslexia. By then I was a successful television writer, and had won an Emmy Award for “The Rockford Files.”
If I had known earlier that something beyond my control could explain why I was a low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late 20s and early 30s. I was writing and writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people praise me, because I did badly in all my courses.
I once asked a friend who had always gotten an A, “How long did you study for this?” He said, “I didn’t. I just glanced at it.” So he must be smarter. I began to ask, “What will happen to me when I’m not good at anything?” Despite my doubts, I did become successful, and people now say to me, “So you’ve overcome dyslexia.”
No. You don’t overcome it, you learn to compensate for it. Some easy things are very hard for me. Most people who go through college read twice as fast as I do. I avoid dialing a phone if I can, because
- 25 -
I sometimes have to try three times to get the number right.
Despite my weaknesses I view dyslexia as a gift, not a curse (诅咒). Many dyslexics are good at right-brain, abstract thought, and that’s what my kind of creative writing is. And I can write quickly, and can get up to 15 pages a day. Writing is my strength.
The real fear I have for dyslexic children is not they have to struggle in school, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school. Parents have to create victories for them, whether it’s music, sports or art. You can make your dyslexic child able to say, “Yeah, reading is hard. But I have other things I can do.”
34. The writer decided to get himself tested as well because he________.
A. wanted to know if they had the same problem
B. didn’t believe his daughter had the problem
C. had to take a regular medical examination
D. accepted that his daughter was not smart
35. We can learn from the second paragraph that the writer________.
A. struggled and got better grades
B. didn’t work hard when he was young
C. was praised for overcoming dyslexia
D. was thankful not knowing of dyslexia earlier
36. According to the passage, a dyslexic person________.
A. is less intelligent B. always fails in school
C. reads more slowly than normal people D. performs worse in left-brain activities
37. What can we learn from the story?
A. Clumsy birds have to start flying early. B. God shuts one door but opens another.
C. Never judge a person by his appearance. D. No one can make a good coat with bad cloth.
【答案】34. A 35. D 36. C 37. B
【解析】
本文是记叙文。作者从女儿患读写困难症,谈到自己也有读写困难,但是作者通过自己的努力成为了一位成功的电视作家,并获得了艾米奖。作者认为读写困难不是诅咒,而是礼物。上帝给你关上一扇门的同时必然会为你打开一扇窗。
- 25 -
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的We had her tested. I decided to get myself tested as well, and found that the troubles she was having were exactly what I had had — dyslexia.可知,作者和女儿一起做了检测,发现女儿的确有和作者曾经有的一样的问题——读写困难。因此推断,作者决定自己也做检查是因为他想要知道是否他和女儿有同样的问题。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的If I had known earlier that something beyond my control could explain why I was a low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late 20s and early 30s.(如果我早些时候知道一些超出我控制范围的事情可以解释为什么我是一个学渣,我可能在20多岁和30多岁的时候没有这么努力)可知,作者感激没有早知道有读写困难症。故选D。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的Most people who go through college read twice as fast as I do.(大多数读大学的人读得比我快两倍)可知,一个读写困难的人读得比正常人慢。故选C。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的Despite my weaknesses I view dyslexia as a gift, not a curse (诅咒). Many dyslexics are good at right-brain, abstract thought, and that’s what my kind of creative writing is. And I can write quickly, and can get up to 15 pages a day. Writing is my strength.
(尽管我有弱点,但我认为诵读困难是一种礼物,而不是一种诅咒。 许多诵读困难者擅长右脑、抽象思维,这就是我的创造性写作。我能写得很快,每天最多能写15页。写作是我的力量)可推断,上帝给你关上一扇门的同时必然会为你打开一扇窗。故选B。
C
Although it has been revealed in recent years that plants are capable of seeing, hearing and smelling, they are still usually thought of as silent. But now, for the first time, they have been recorded making ultrasonic (超声的) cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops.
Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made cries at frequencies humans cannot hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem it cut.
Microphones placed 10 centimetres from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz, which the team says insects and some mammals would be capable of hearing and
- 25 -
responding to from as far as 5 metres away. A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water-stressed, the researchers suggest. Plants could even hear that other plants are short of water and react accordingly, they speculate (推断).
On average, drought-stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour, on average.
It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to know what the stress is. The researchers trained a machine-learning model to recognize between the plants’ sounds and the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse, correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut, based on the sound’s intensity and frequency. Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example.
Enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture”, the researchers suggest. They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought.
“The suggestion that the sounds that drought-stressed plants make could be used in precision agriculture seems feasible (可行的) if it is not too costly to set up the recording in a field situation,” says Anne Visscher at the royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the UK.
She warns that the results can’t yet be broadened out to other stresses, such as salt or temperature, because these may not lead to sounds. In addition, there have been no experiments to show whether moths or any other animal can hear and respond to the sounds the plants make, so that idea remains based on guesses for now, she says.

【答案】38. A 39. B 40. C 41. D
【解析】
本文是说明文。研究表明,植物在受到缺水或者被砍断时的压力时,它们会发出尖叫声。这开创了精准农业的一个新领域。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15.(当植物茎秆被切断后,番茄植株在接下来的一小时内平均发出25种声音,而烟草植株发出15种声音。)”可知,研究人员的实验显示番茄植株受到伤害时比烟草植株更容易发出尖叫声。故选A项。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。第八段中提到Anne Visscher所说的话“She warns that the results can’t yet be broadened out to other stresses, such as salt or temperature, because these may not lead to sounds. In addition, there have been no experiments to show whether moths or any other animal can hear and respond to the sounds the plants make, so that idea remains based on guesses for now, she says.(她警告说,这个结果还不能扩展到其他压力,比如盐分或温度,因为这些可能不会产生声音。此外,还没有实验证明飞蛾或其他动物是否能听到植物发出的声音并作出反应,所以目前这个想法仍是基于猜测。)”根据其中的“the results can’t yet be broadened …there have been no experiments to show ….so that idea remains based on guesses …”由此可以推断,Anne Visscher对实验结果持谨慎的态度。故选B项。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。第六段中提到“Enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture”, the researchers suggest.They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought.
- 25 -
(研究者们认为,让农民能够听到缺水植物的声音可能“在精准农业领域会开辟一个新方向”。他们补充说,随着气候变化使更多地区面临干旱,这种能力将变得越来越重要。)”由此可以推断,这一新的发现让农民能够听到缺水植物的声音,农民就可以快速判断植物当前处于缺水的状况。故选C项。
【41题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章第一段提到“they have been recorded making ultrasonic (超声的) cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops.(已经记录下当植物有压力时它们发出的哭声的超声波,研究者们认为这开创了精准农业的一个新领域,农民可以听到缺水植物的声音。)”下文是说明这一研究的具体过程。文章是关于植物在受到缺水或者被砍断时的压力时,它们会发出声音。因此文章的标题应该是“植物在压力下会发出尖叫声”。故选D项。
D
The first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart. We tried to slow it down with treatment, but it suddenly stopped beating completely. Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management. However, it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good.
In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results.
Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, the fallout from second-guessing appears especially large for us. A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed (开药) warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes (中风). However, if a patient was not on warfarin and had a stroke physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients.
These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors. In the blood-thinner study, doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm (prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient) and less affected by letting harm happen (not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke). Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed.
But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine. ''Overreaction to Fearsome Risks'' holds true for

broader society.
For instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions. Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and, according to the study, such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening.
Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational (不理性的) thinking when processing information, bad events and mistakes. As much as we don't want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again, we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesn't necessarily mean we did anything wrong. When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may involuntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.
I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient, who died more than a year ago. Instead of second-guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct (本能) and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too.
42. The first two paragraphs suggest that________.
A. bad medical outcomes affect doctors
B. delivering babies can be difficult work
C. some doctors are not very experienced
D. doctors sometimes make silly mistakes
43. In the blood-thinner study, doctors________.
A. tend to prescribe less effective medicine
B. are more concerned about the patients' safety
C. become less confident in writing a prescription
D. believe a stroke is more treatable than a bleeding
44. What does the underlined word ''fallout'' in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Result B. Benefit C. Difference D. Absence
45. The author will probably agree that________.
A. we should not doubt our own decisions
B. our experience will pave way for our future
C. humans are emotional and irrational on the whole
- 25 -
D. instincts don't necessarily lead to wrong directions
【答案】42. A 43. C 44. A 45. D
【解析】
这是一篇夹叙夹议。文章通过作者自己的经历论述了,人类在处理信息、不良事件和错误时易受情绪化和非理性思维的影响,会过度思考,此时我们就不能依赖于基于我们所知或所经历的思考,反而要相信直觉。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management.(后来,每当我遇到这样的病例时,我都会怀疑自己的临床管理。)和第二段的In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have an adverse outcome, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results. (在一篇工作论文中,埃默里大学的研究人员发现,当医生接生婴儿时出现不良后果时,他们更有可能对下一个病人改用不同的接生方式,这往往是不必要的,有时甚至会带来更糟糕的结果。)可推断,糟糕的医疗结果会影响医生。A. bad medical outcomes affect doctors(糟糕的医疗结果会影响医生)符合以上说法,故选A项。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中的A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe subsequent patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes. (2006年的一项研究发现,如果患者在服用华法林后出现出血,医生给后续患者开预防中风的血液稀释剂的可能性要低20%)可知,在血液稀释剂研究中,一旦病人服用华法林后出现出血后,医生们在开某些处方时量就减少了。由此推断,医生变得不那么自信。C. become less confident in writing a prescription(在开处方时没那么自信了)符合以上说法,故选 C项。
【44题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段的Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, the fallout from second-guessing appears especially large for us.可知,因为医生要做出如此多有严重后果的决定,事后猜测的fallout对我们来说似乎尤其严重。根据句意,尤其consequences推测划线部分的意思是“后果”。A. Result(结果)符合以上推测,故选A项。
【45题详解】
- 25 -
推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may inadvertently overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion. (当我们过度思考时,我们就不能依赖于基于我们所知或所经历的思考。相反,我们可能会无意中过度分析,得出错误的结论。)和最后一段中的Instead of second guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too. (我相信自己的临床直觉,坚持到底,而不是事后猜测。所有的病人都活了下来。你也应该相信你的直觉。)可推断,作者认为直觉不一定会导致错误的方向。D. instincts don't necessarily lead to wrong directions(直觉不一定会导致错误的方向)符合以上说法,故选D项。

For example, one group of researchers carried out several interviews to investigate younger and older American adults for three wars, namely, the Civil War, World War Ⅱ, and the Iraq War. ____48____ Both younger and older adults recalled the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; however, they differed in how they rated the bombings.
More recently, memory study scholars tend to stress the significance of the media in shaping collective memories: “Culture and individuals’ memory are constantly produced through the technologies of memory.” Under this perspective, research often involves content analysis of news and the use of surveys or interviews for analyzing the public memory. ____49____
However, developments in digital technologies in recent years have significantly influenced how we keep track of events both as individuals and as a collective. “The Internet doesn’t forget.” The Internet has had strong impacts on memory and the processes of remembering and forgetting. ____50____ Analyzing different Web documents, researchers have shown that more recent past events are remembered more vividly in the present.
A. Research on collective memory is often based on various aspects.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章向我们介绍了什么叫共同记忆,媒体是如何塑造共同记忆的以及现代数码技术在共同记忆的保存方面又发挥了什么样的作用。
【46题详解】
下一句出现he,he指代前一句出现的人物,由此可以推断空格处应该会出现研究集体记忆的重要人物。只有C项有人名,且C项意为“人们认为Maurice Halbwachs是集体记忆研究之父”。C项切题。故选C项。
【47题详解】
下一句出现了they,they指代前一句出现的复数名词。A项意为“关于集体记忆的研究经常会基于很多方面展开。”They include theoretical concepts, the study of historical sources, oral histories, case studies, interviews, and surveys.这一句话是对A项中various aspects的展开陈述。且A项中various aspects又呼应了空格上一句的long procedures。A项切题,故选A项。
【48题详解】
空格前一句话说开展采访来研究年青一代和老一代美国人对三次战争的看法。那空格处应该讲到采访的结果是什么。D项正是研究结果,意为“所有的美国人都会回忆起相似的事件,但是每个年代的人对这些事情的解读是不一样的”。空格后一句又是对D项的具体例子说明。Both younger and older adults recalled the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki具体对应“所有的美国人都会回忆起相似的事件”,however, they differed in how they rated the bombings对应说明了“但是每个年代的人对这些事情的解读是不一样的”。D项切题。故选D项。
49题详解】
- 25 -
本段在讲媒体在塑造集体记忆过程中所发挥的作用。空格处也应该是围绕媒体的作用在说明。E项中提到了journalists,呼应了首句的media。空格前一句在讲“我们经常会研究新闻的内容,以及在分析公众记忆的时候使用调查和采访的方式”。E项意为“同时,学者们通过分析故事来研究记者们作为集体记忆传话人的角色”。E项符合本段主题。故选E项。
【50题详解】
本段在讲数码技术尤其是网络在我们记录事件过程中发挥的作用。前一句说“网络不会忘记。网络对记忆力以及记忆和忘记的过程产生了非常大的影响”。空格处应该承接上句继续讲述网络在我们记忆中扮演的角色。G项意为“同时,它把共同记忆转变为一种可以观察的现象。通过网络,这种共同记忆可以被查询和被人评价”。it指代the Internet,online呼应本段主题。G项符合文意。故选G项。

【答案】Dear Jim,
How is everything going? In your last letter, you asked me about garbage classification in my community, so I’m writing to tell you some details about it.
The garbage classification activity was launched in our community last month. People are
- 25 -
required to sort household garbage into four categories, each of which is supposed to be thrown into certain bins at certain times. Individuals who fail to do so will be fined. Although people were confused with the demanding garbage classification in the beginning, they are much better at sorting garbage now with the help of a special App. To make the garbage classification easier to achieve, more and more restaurants in our community are using environmentally friendly materials to deliver their food. The hotels in the neighbourhood also give priority to offering products made from recyclable materials.
Personally, I’m in full support of garbage classification because it contributes to arousing people’s awareness of protecting the environment. Hopefully my information is of help to you. Best wishes!
Yours
