【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词。句意:使学生参与精彩的单词世界,学生将增加他们的词汇量和提高阅读能力。句子已有谓语will increase且无连词,所以空处用非谓语结构,主语students和动词involve in是逻辑上的被动关系,所以用过去分词(-ed)表被动,作状语。故选D项。
【点睛】分析非谓语动词关键抓住两点:
第一、辨别非谓语动词的使用条件。一个句子中,已经存在一个主句(谓语动词),又没有连词,还有别的动词出现时,这个动词用非谓语形式。
第二、找逻辑主语、分析语态、分析时态。主动进行-ing,被动完成用-ed,将来目的用to do。
如本题中,students是involve in逻辑主语,是被动关系,应用-ed形式,故确定是Involved。
30.The Education Department of Zhejiang Province_____a draft regulation on cutting workload for pupils, which has aroused fierce discussions.

A. the rules would be relaxed
- 41 -

C. that the rules would be relaxed
D. that would the rules be relaxed
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查部分倒装。句意:莫里森说,直到国家测试能力提高,澳大利亚才会放宽相关规定。said 后面的宾语从句中,“not until +状语从句”放句首,要使用主谓部分倒装,因此把谓语动词中的情态动词would提到主语之前。故选B项。
32.People often turn to china daily.com.cn_____they’ll find valuable information regarding everything they’ll be or are going through.
A. which B. where C. when D. why
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句关系词。句意:人们经常访问中国日报网,他们从中可以找到有关他们将会或正在经历的一切有价值的信息。分析句子可知,china daily.com.cn是先行词,指地点,后接一个定语从句,且定语从句中不缺少句子成分,在从句中做地点状语,所以用关系副词where。故选B项。
33.—I’m fed up with the wet, cold weather here! I wish tomorrow a sunny day!
—Exactly. Actually, it______every day in the past two weeks.
A. rained B. was raining C. has rained D. has been raining
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:——我受够了这里潮湿、寒冷的天气!我希望明天是晴天!——准确来说。事实上,在过去两周的每一天都在下雨。根据第一句话可以知道,天气仍然不好,仍然在下雨,一直持续到现在,所以用现在完成进行时(has/have been doing)表动作从过去发生一直持续到现在。故选D项。
【点睛】分析现在完成进行时关键抓住三点:
现在完成进行时的使用条件,其中之一就是“表示从过去某时开始一直持续到现在的动作,并且还将持续下去。”
- 41 -
现在完成进行时的结构,has/have been doing。
现在完成进行时的标志。其标志为:already(已经)、just(刚刚)、never(从不)、ever(曾经)、yet(仍然)、for+一段时间、since+过去时间/一般过去时态的句子、in the past +一段时间等。
如题中,“in the past +一段时间”为现在完成进行时的标志,加上“下雨(rain)”这个动作也是一直延续、持续不断地,并且这个动作由过去开始一直持续到现在,故确定用has been raining。
34.A recent survey has demonstrated that a large number of victims during the COVID-19 Outbreak______,if they had worn masks.
A. should have been saved
B. must have been saved
C. need have been saved
D. could have been saved
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词+have done。句意:最近的一项调查表明如果他们在新冠肺炎爆发时期戴了口罩,很多受害者本来可以被救。由句意可知,此处指如果带了口罩,一些人本来可以被救,could have done,意为“过去本可以做却未做”。故选D项。
35.—It’s said that your family will move to another city, why?
—_______.The environment in this city is wonderful and relaxing.
A. That depends B. That’s for sure C. It’s not the case D. It’s hard to say

【解析】

Today scientists are creating cool designs with smoother moves. Let’s check out the science behind four awesome robots.
TYPES
HOW IT WORKS
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
T-HR3
The two-legged walking robot imitates the way people move. A human operator wears a headset with cameras that show what the robot “sees”. The human can then control the robot’s actions with his or her own human movements.
With a human helper, T-HR3 could assist people in medical facilities, burning buildings, construction sites, and even space. Its creators hope that T-HR3 will learn to do some tasks itself one day …like, say, your chores, maybe?
SHAPE-SHIFTIING
When a scientist programs in a shape/ the motors change different parts of the surface to make it look like whatever the scientist wants! The shape-shifting robot can be programmed to look like just about anything small and enter tiny space.
In addition to helping scientists secretly observe animals, the shape-shifting robot might one day be used to create more immersive virtual reality experiences. Imagine being able to touch objects in your VR game
- 41 -
and not just see them!
SALTO
Rescuers have long used remote-controlled robots to search through nibble. But what’s special about Salto is its jumping ability, enabling it to reach places humans can’t. Twisted rubber bands in its legs make it bouncy enough to leap to high spaces.
Salto’s not just helpful in emergencies. Its technology might one day help fetch things from hard-to-reach places in your home, like that candy bar you hid on the top shelf of the cupboard.
SPOTMINI
The four-legged robot is designed to help with house chores. With its extendable arms, Spotmini can unload dishes and put them in high shelves, grab debris (碎片) in hard-to-reach places. It can even climb stairs.
Experts say future homes will have robots doing chores so that people have more free time. Instead of earning your allowance by taking out the garbage, you might be doing robot repairs instead.
56. If you want to take a close picture of a poisonous snake which robot is the most suitable?
- 41 -
A. T-HR3 B. SHAPE-SHIFTING C. SALTO D. SPOTMINI
57. What these robots have in common is that they .
A. work by using a remote-control
B. are designed to help with the housework
C. enable people to see whatever they “see”
D. carry out tasks where humans are hard to reach
【答案】56. B 57. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四款机器人的主要功能和特点。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。由第二个机器人SHAPE-SHIFTIING的右侧表格的第一句“In addition to helping scientists secretly observe animals, the shape-shifting robot might one day be used to create more immersive virtual reality experiences.”(除了帮助科学家秘密观察动物外,变形机器人也许有一天会被用来创造更具沉浸感的虚拟现实体验。)可知,Shape-Shifting 机器人可以帮助科学家近距离观察动物。故选B项。
【57题详解】
推理判断题。阅读表格可知,从T-HR3右侧表格的第一句话“With a human helper, T-HR3 could assist people in medical facilities, burning buildings, construction sites, and even space.”(作为人类的帮手,T-HR3可以在医疗设施,燃烧的建筑物,建筑工地,甚至太空上帮助人们。),所以T-HR3可以在医疗、烧毁建筑、施工现场等地方帮助人们;从SHAPE-SHIFTIING的右侧表格的第一句话“In addition to helping scientists secretly observe animals, the shape-shifting robot might one day be used to create more immersive virtual reality experiences.”(除了帮助科学家秘密观察动物外,变形机器人也许有一天会被用来创造更具沉浸感的虚拟现实体验。)可知,SHAPE-SHIFTIING可以帮助人们近距离观察动物、创造沉浸式的视觉体验;从SALTO中间表格的句子“But what’s special about Salto is its jumping ability, enabling it to reach places humans can’t.”(但Salto的特殊之处在于它的跳跃能力,使它能够到达人类无法到达的地方。),可知Salto凭借他的弹跳能力可以到达人类不能达到的地方,从而帮助人们寻找东西;从SPOTMINI中间表格的句子“With its extendable arms, Spotmini can unload dishes and put them in high shelves, grab debris (碎片) in hard-to-reach
- 41 -
places.”(Spotmini有着可伸缩的手臂,可以卸下碗碟,放在高高的架子上,在很难触及的地方抓起碎片。)可知,Spotmini机器人则可以帮助人们清扫难以清扫的角落;故这四款机器人都能帮助人们执行人们难以完成的任务。故选D项。
B
A scientific approach to reducing poverty’s many harmful effects via field experiments in schools and other real-world settings has won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.
Economists Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo, both of MIT, and Michael Kremer of Harvard University will receive equal shares of the prize of 9 million Swedish kronor. Duflo is only the second woman ever to be awarded the economics Nobel. “Poverty has deep roots, and we use an experimental approach to examine particular aspects of this problem and determine what interventions (干预) work.” Duflo said.
More than 700 million people globally live in extreme poverty. Half of the world’s children leave school without basic language or math skills. Roughly 5 million children under age 5 annually die from diseases that could have been prevented with inexpensive treatments.
The three winners design and test interventions aimed at specific ways to alleviate poverty’s effects on education, health care and other areas. Such studies are especially important because policies intended to fight poverty can often cause opposite results.
In the mid-1990s, Kremer led a team that tested a range of interventions aimed at improving learning among students attending schools in western Kenya. Banerjee and Duflo, often with Kremer, then performed similar studies in other countries. One important line of research developed “Teaching at the Right Level” programs, which enable teachers in low-income, developing nations to target instruction to students’ learning levels. Teachers in these programs learn ways to keep students from falling behind rather than forcing them through a one-size-fits-all curriculum for each grade.
A 2011 study led by Duflo, for instance, found that grade 1 test scores in a Kenyan school increased when teachers divided students into smaller classes based on their
- 41 -
initial learning levels.
A string of studies in the. same vein led by the 2019 winners took randomized controlled trials and field experiments from ignored status to standard practice in developing nations.
These studies showed that the virtually unanswerable question “How can we fight global poverty?” could be broken into smaller, testable questions such as “Why do children not attend school?” and “Why do small-scale farmers not use technologies such as modern seeds and fertilizer (肥料) that are known to be profitable?”
58. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. relieve
B. remove
C. control
D. transform
59. It can be inferred that the method the 2019 winners applied to education .
A. is more suitable for high-level students
B. is an intervention initially created by Duflo
C. will surely get rid of the deep roots of poverty
D. takes into consideration students learning levels
60. What can we learn from the experimenting approach the three economists adopt?
A. The authorities concerned should make policies based on scientific findings.
B. Field experimenting is the most scientific way to find whether interventions work.
C. Education should be paid more attention to due to its important part in fighting poverty.
D. It may be helpful to narrow down the scale of a problem by focusing on specific aspects.
【答案】58. A 59. D 60. D

这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了,3位获奖者通过具体方法干预减轻贫困对教育、医疗等方面的影响,最后得出结论:无法回答的大问题可以分成更小的、可测试的问题来进行解答。
- 41 -
【58题详解】
词义猜测题。由第四段中的“The three winners design and test interventions aimed at specific ways to alleviate poverty’s effects on education, health care and other areas. Such studies are especially important because policies intended to fight poverty can often cause opposite results.”(三位获奖者设计并测试了旨在用具体方法减轻贫困对教育、医疗和其他领域影响的干预措施。这类研究尤其重要,因为旨在抗击贫穷的政策往往会导致相反的结果。),可知旨在消除贫困的政策往往会导致相反的结果,那么这三位获奖者应该是通过具体方法干预减轻贫困对教育、医疗等方面的影响,所以alleviate在此处意为“减轻”。故选A项。
【59题详解】
推理判断题。由第五段中的“One important line of research developed “Teaching at the Right Level” programs, which enable teachers in low-income, developing nations to target instruction to students’ learning levels.”(一项重要的研究开发了“适当水平的教学”项目,使发展中国家的低收入教师能够针对学生的学习水平进行教学。),第六段中的“A 2011 study led by Duflo, for instance, found that grade 1 test scores in a Kenyan school increased when teachers divided students into smaller classes based on their initial learning levels.”(例如,2011年Duflo领导的一项研究发现,当老师根据学生的初始学习水平将他们分成更小的班级时,肯尼亚一所学校的一年级考试分数会增加。)和第七段也表明了 2019 年的获奖者也采用了同样的思路,也就是考虑学生的实际学习水平,进行随机对照实验。由此判断出2019年的获奖者考虑了学生的学习水平。故选D项。
【60题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中的“These studies showed that the virtually unanswerable question “How can we fight global poverty?” could be broken into smaller, testable questions”(这些研究表明,事实上无法回答的问题“我们如何才能战胜全球贫困?”可以分成更小的、可测试的问题),可知知这些研究都展示了可以将一个大问题分成小的、可以测试的问题。由此判断出,通过关注特定的方面来缩小问题的范围可能是有帮助的。故选D项。

【点睛】词义猜测是应用英语的重要能力,也是高考中必考的题型。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。做这种类型的技巧之一:要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义,即有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语,上文或下文接着出现其定义或解释,这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。命题者在出这类题时惯用常规词义来麻痹考生,我们要特别注意熟词生义,切不可脱离语境主观臆断。如在第1小题中,由画线单词的下一句“Such studies are especially important because policies intended to fight poverty can often cause opposite results.”,可知旨消除贫困的政策往往会导致相反的结果,那么这三位获奖者应该是通过具体方法干预减轻贫困对教育、医疗等方面的影响的干预措施,所以alleviate在此处意为“减轻”。故选A项。
C
Climate change will bring and has already brought a wide variety of threatening destruction to human existence. Some of these are well-known and already operative, like the wildfires racing along California’s freeways or the permanent droughts that have been upsetting Mediterranean farmers. But are these all terrible disasters we can come up with that are brought about by climate change?
Absolutely not. None of the challenges posed by our warming climate has appeared larger in the popular imagination than sea-level rise, as global populations and wealth are heavily concentrated in low-lying coastal cities. The best available models suggest that 37 million people currently live in places that will be below high tide by 2050-in an optimistic low-carbon-emissions scenario (设想).
Or rather, that’s what such models suggested before this week. On Tuesday, a new study revealed that those alarming statistics were wildly inaccurate. The actual impacts of sea-level rise are going to be much, much worse.
Previous estimates of the impact that rising tides would have on coastal cities relied on essentially a three-dimensional map of Earth obtained from satellite readings. But those readings were fundamentally unreliable because they often measured the planet’s upper surfaces — such as treetops and tall buildings — rather than its ground level. These mistakes led scientists to overestimate the elevation (海拔) of many regions of Earth.
In a new study published by the journal Nature Communications, scientists from Princeton, University detail this methodological problem, then use artificial intelligence to determine the previous literature’s error rate. Their research
- 41 -
yields some amazing updates to our conventional understanding of what the next century has in store for our coastlines.
In its optimistic scenario, the Princeton study projects that lands currently occupied by 150 million people will lie below high tide in 2050. But as warming destroys many of the world’s agricultural regions, climate change could accelerate migration from rural areas to coastal cities.
The new study does include one piece of slightly encouraging news. While previous models suggested that 28 million humans currently live in places that already lie below high tide, the actual number is closer to 110 million — which means seawalls and other barriers have proven sufficient to keep many cities dry even as sea levels have risen around them. Still, the scale of barrier construction necessary to save low-lying cities from collapse is now, apparently, far greater than previously understood when the task already looked terribly expensive, particularly for developing countries.
If the Princeton researchers’ projections are correct, avoiding mass death and suffering in the coming decades will require not only rapidly reducing carbon emissions and strengthening construction of seawalls but also furthering mass migrations away from low-lying cities and islands and toward higher ground.
61. The first paragraph is mainly intended to .
A. introduce the topic of this passage
B. show various disasters caused by climate change
C. call on people to fix attention on climate change
D. lay emphasis on the seriousness of climate change
62. All the following statements are true EXCEPT .
A. the Princeton study reveals an optimistic picture of sea rising. . .
B. the three-dimensional map produced by satellite is not accurate
C. some measures are mentioned by the writer to deal with sea rising
D. more people are likely to live in coastal cities in the coming years
63. We can see something encouraging from the Princeton study that .
A. it’s cheap to construct seawalls as well as other barriers
- 41 -
B. the scale of barrier construction is much greater than before
C. developed countries have less trouble in dealing with rising sea levels
D. seawalls do have the function to prevent coastal cities being drowned
64. What can be a suitable title for the passage?

这是一篇说明文。文章就气候变化情况下海平面上升的问题展开讨论,推翻了过去得出错误数据的旧方法,根据普林斯顿的一项新研究,提出海平面上升的问题正越来越严峻,全球变暖加剧了海平面上升、淹没城市的风险并给出了一些建议。
【61题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“Climate change will bring and has already brought a wide variety of threatening destruction to human existence.”(气候变化将给人类的生存带来并已经带来各种各样的威胁性破坏。)和“But are these all terrible disasters we can come up with that are brought about by climate change?”(但这些都是气候变化带来的可怕灾难吗?),由此判断出,第一段的目的是引出气候变化这个主题。故选A项。
【62题详解】
细节理解题。由倒数第三段的“In its optimistic scenario, the Princeton study projects that lands currently occupied by 150 million people will lie below high tide in 2050.”(在乐观的情况下,普林斯顿大学的研究预测,目前有1.5亿人居住的土地在2050年还可以不会被海平面上升所淹没。),可知并未说海平面上升这件事情有一个光明的未来,而是前景很不客观。A 项错误;由第四段中的“But those readings were fundamentally unreliable because they often measured the planet’s upper surfaces — such as treetops and tall buildings — rather than its ground level.”(但这些读数基本上是不可靠的,因为它们经常测量地球的上表面——比如树梢和高楼——而不是它的地面。),可知通过卫星云图采集地表图像进行3D 建模的方式被证明是不准确的,B项正确;由最后一段的“avoiding mass
- 41 -
death and suffering in the coming decades will require not only rapidly reducing carbon emissions and strengthening construction of seawalls but also furthering mass migrations away from low-lying cities and islands and toward higher ground.”(那么在未来几十年避免大规模死亡和痛苦不仅需要迅速减少碳排放和加强海堤的建设,而且还需要进一步推动大规模移民离开低洼的城市和岛屿,向高地迁移。),可知作者提出了一些建议,C项正确;由第二段中的“The best available models suggest that 37 million people currently live in places that will be below high tide by 2050-in an optimistic low-carbon-emissions scenario (设想).”(现有的最佳模型表明,在乐观的低碳排放情景下,到2050年,将有3700万人生活在海平面以下的地方。),可知住在海滨城市的人口与日俱增,D项正确。故选A项。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。由题干关键词encouraging可将答案定位于倒数第二段。由倒数第二段中的“While previous models suggested that 28 million humans currently live in places that already lie below high tide, the actual number is closer to 110 million — which means seawalls and other barriers have proven sufficient to keep many cities dry even as sea levels have risen around them.”(虽然先前的模式显示,目前有2800万人居住在海平面以下的地方,但实际数字接近1.1亿,这意味着海堤和其他屏障已被证明足以让许多城市保持干燥,即使周围的海平面已经上升。),可知海堤确实有防止沿海城市被淹的作用。故选D项。
【64题详解】
主旨大意题。由第二段中的“None of the challenges posed by our warming climate has appeared larger in the popular imagination than sea-level rise, as global populations and wealth are heavily concentrated in low-lying coastal cities.”(由于全球人口和财富高度集中在低洼的沿海城市,在人们的想象中,气候变暖带来的挑战没有一个比海平面上升更大。),第三段最后一句“The actual impacts of sea-level rise are going to be much, much worse.”(海平面上升的实际影响将会更加严重。),第四段第一句“Previous estimates of the impact that rising tides would have on coastal cities relied on essentially a three-dimensional map of Earth obtained from satellite readings.”(先前对涨潮对沿海城市的影响的估计,基本上依赖于从卫星读数获得的三维地球地图。),第六段最后一句“But as warming destroys many of the world’s agricultural
- 41 -
regions, climate change could accelerate migration from rural areas to coastal cities.”(但随着气候变暖摧毁了世界上许多农业地区,气候变化可能加速从农村地区向沿海城市的移民。)和最后两段关于防止海岸城市被淹的策略和建议,可知本文强调的是气候变化情况下海平面上升淹没滨海城市的问题,应选B项;A项,本文主要在分析海平面上升问题的原因与过程,how to 只是结尾提到一句;C项,气候变化的确是一个严峻问题,但人类还没有到马上灭绝的程度;D项,碳排放与火焰、高温干旱不是本文主题。故选B项。
【点睛】在高考中,细节理解题为频繁常考题型,集中考查文中细节。在做此类题型时,同学们可以先从问题中找到关键词,然后以此为线索,运用略读和查阅技巧迅速在文中找到这一细节,把这部分内容仔细读一遍,比较所给选项与文中细节的细微差别。如在第3小题中,分析问题,得到关键词encouraging,迅速定位到倒数第二段,找到句子“While previous models suggested that 28 million humans currently live in places that already lie below high tide, the actual number is closer to 110 million — which means seawalls and other barriers have proven sufficient to keep many cities dry even as sea levels have risen around them.(虽然先前的模型显示,目前有2800万人居住在已经处于涨潮之下的地方,但实际数字接近1.1亿,这意味着海堤和其他屏障已被证明足以让许多城市保持干燥,即使周围的海平面已经上升。)”可知,海堤确实有防止沿海城市被淹的作用。故选D项。

In January 2017, snow began’ to fall across the Apennines. From his home in the Rome suburbs, Edward watched the weather with concern. He and his wife, Caroline, had planned an overnight getaway to the hotel. But now he wondered whether they should go with the road covered with snow. Edward phoned the hotel, whose owner, Del Rosso, advised Edward to use chains on his tyres.
After a short talk, Edward and Caroline decided to make the trip. By the time they neared the resort (度假胜地) six hours later, they were battling a total whiteout. When they finally reached the hotel, they were cold and exhausted. They checked into their room, trying to forget their long day in the car.
Suddenly, the hotel began to shake. The windows rattled, and the water in the tub spilt over the edges. An earthquake with a magnitude of 5. 7 had struck the mountain. Edward had had enough. “Let’s get out of here,” he told his wife, dressing
- 41 -
quickly. They were about to head to the parking lot when the snow on the mountain began to slide.
Martin, the resort’s caretaker, had been working in the tiny boiler hut about 30 yards from the main building when he noticed something abnormal. Standing on an empty snowfield, he gazed at a trail of complete destruction — it was as if a giant rake (耙子) had been dragged down the mountain, pulling down beech trees, crushing cars, chewing up everything in its path.
Finding a signal with his phone seemed to take forever. In fact, it took two hours before Martin finally spoke with the chief of the region’s rescue team.
“We’re coming,” Crocetta promised.
“How long will it take?” asked Martin.
“Five or six hours.”
Eight hours after Martin had talked to Crocetta, the rescuers finally arrived. There was no movement anywhere — no human sound, just rubble (碎石).Edward lay in a coffin-sized pocket of air beneath 30 feet of snow, ice, and rubble. He could hear nothing of what was happening at the surface. Shock had set in, and he felt no pain, no hunger, no cold. Each time Edward awoke, he faced a new terrible reality: he was buried alive. Despair suddenly seized him. He asked himself, who is going to save us?
Nick and three other rescuers kept digging on, breaking blade after blade on their circular saws (圆锯), battling toward a faint cell signal detected deep in the ruins. Suddenly they heard a voice. They silenced their saws and listened. It was Edward. He was still fading in and out of consciousness. A vision of his wife stayed with him, an angel of mercy, he thought. She assured him he would be OK.
“Edward, we are here!” Nick shouted, ten feet above where the trapped man lay.” Are you injured? Are you bleeding?”
As the voices and the buzzing of saws grew louder, Edward became more alert. “Where is my wife?”
“We put her in the car because it’s cold,” Nick lied.
At last, at around six in the morning, Nick’s saw broke through a final thick
- 41 -
layer of insulation (隔绝). He pointed his light toward the opening and spotted Edward’s back. Nick could see how the angled beams had created a cocoon that prevented Edward from being crushed to death. Those near him had not been so lucky: Squeezed in the space with him were the bodies of two women — one supporting his head, one curled (卷曲) beneath his left leg.
Rescuers raised the concrete beams off Edward’s limbs with a jack (千斤顶). “You are a superhero,” Nick said as he reached beneath Edward’s armpits and gently lifted him out of his tomb.
Five days after his rescue, Edward was given the heartbroken news that his wife had died. Her body had been found, crushed by debris, near where Edward had been trapped. The angel who had appeared to him in his dreams had, somehow, never left his side.

He asked himself, who is going to save us?”(每次Edward醒来,他都面对一个新的可怕现实:他被活埋了。绝望突然抓住了他。他问自己,谁来救我们?),倒数第七段中的“He was still fading in and out of consciousness. A vision of his wife stayed with him, an angel of mercy, he thought. She assured him he would be OK.”(他仍在意识的淡入和淡出。他想,妻子的幻象一直伴随着他,一个仁慈的天使。她向他保证他会没事的。)和倒数第五段中的“As the voices and the buzzing of saws grew louder, Edward became more alert.”(随着声音和锯的嗡嗡声越来越大,Edward变得更加警觉。),可知Edward被活埋时情绪不稳定、十分紧张,靠着妻子的幻想才支撑下来,如果此时告诉Edward妻子死了,Edward会失去希望,所以Nick要撒谎。故选A项。

had, somehow, never left his side.”(在他梦中出现的天使,不知怎么的,从来没有离开过他的身边。),可知Edward是靠着对妻子的爱和挂念才坚持下去,等到救援,所以判断出,短文要传达的信息是爱可以帮助一个人度过灾难。故选C项。
【点睛】推理判断题不仅要求考生读懂文章中的每个句子的意思还要推理它们之间的关系,结合自己的生活常识和经验,再通过逻辑推理和判断,理解文章的言外之意,从而揭示文章的深层涵义。推理判断题的答案不可能在文章中直接找到,因此推理时我们务必要忠于原文,在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据,即:已知部分——推论的前提,从中推测出未知部分——推理的结论,切忌妄加评论,把自己的观点当成作者的观点。如在第1小题中,第一段中的“But now he wondered whether they should go with the road covered with snow. Edward phoned the hotel, whose owner, Del Rosso, advised Edward to use chains on his tyres.(但现在他不知道他们是否应该走在积雪覆盖的道路上。Edward给旅馆打了电话,旅馆老板Del Rosso建议Edward在轮胎上使用链条。)”,是已知部分,通过结合原文进行合理地逻辑判断,可推断出Edward 在酒店主人的建议下给车轮上链条,以此防止车在有雪道路上打滑。故选B项。

Is Loneliness a Health Epidemic (流行病)?
Over the last twenty years, more and more studies reveal increasing numbers of people experience loneliness regularly. In the face of such a situation, earlier this year, Britain appointed its first “minister for loneliness”, who is charged with dealing with what the Prime Minister called the “sad reality of modern life”.
Public-health leaders immediately praised the idea-and for good reason. In recent decades, researchers have discovered that loneliness left untreated is not just psychically painful; it also can have serious medical consequences. And numerous studies have linked loneliness to heart disease, cancer, depression, diabetes and suicide. Vivek Murthy, the former United States surgeon general, has written that loneliness is associated with a reduction in life span similar to that caused by smoking 15 cigarettes a day and even greater than that associated with obesity.
- 41 -
Anxiety about loneliness is a common feature of modern societies. Today, two major causes of loneliness seem possible. One is that societies throughout the world have embraced a culture of individualism. More people are living alone, and aging alone, than ever. Liberal social policies have turned workers into unstable free agents, and when jobs disappear, things fall apart fast. Labor unions, civic associations, neighborhood organizations, religious groups and other traditional sources of social unity are in steady decline. Increasingly, we all feel that we’re on our own.
The other possible cause is the rise of communication technology, including smartphones, social media and the Internet. A decade ago, companies like Facebook, Apple and Google promised that their products would help create meaningful relationships and communities. On the contrary, we’ve used the media system to deepen existing divisions, at both the individual and group levels. We may have thousands of “friends” and “followers” on Facebook and Instagram, but when it comes to human relationships, it turns out there’s no choice but to build them the old-fashioned way, in person.
But is loneliness, as many political officials and experts are warning, a growing “health epidemic”? I don’t believe so, nor do I believe it helps anyone to describe it that way. Social disconnection is a serious matter, yet — if we arouse a panic over its popularity and impact, we’re less likely to treat it properly.
In places like the United States and Britain, it’s the poor, unemployed, displaced and migrant populations that suffer most from loneliness. Their lives are unstable, and so are their relationships. When they get lonely, they are the least able to get adequate social or medical support.
I don’t believe we have a loneliness epidemic. But millions of people are suffering from social disconnection. Whether or not they have a minister for loneliness, they deserve more attention and help than we’re offering today.

【71题详解】
信息转换题。由第一段的In the face of such a situation, earlier this year, Britain appointed its first “minister for loneliness”(面对这种情况,今年早些时候,英国任命了第一位“孤独大臣”)可知,越发严重的孤独导致了孤独大臣的上任/出现,此处意指“上任/出现”,用名词appointment/appearance。故填appointment/appearance。
【72题详解】
信息整合题。由第二段的In recent decades, researchers have discovered that loneliness left untreated is not just psychically painful; it also can have serious medical consequences.(近几十年来,研究人员发现,未经治疗的孤独感不仅仅是精神上的痛苦;它还可能产生严重的医疗后果。)可知,整合信息得出,孤独不及时处理,遭受孤独的人身心可能会出现疾病,suffer from(遭受……的痛苦),此处用现在分词表主动做名词people的后置定语。故填suffering。

【79题详解】
信息整合题。由倒数第二段的it’s the poor, unemployed, displaced and migrant populations that suffer most from loneliness.(穷人、失业者、流离失所者和流动人口最为孤独。)可知,整合信息得出,穷人、失业者、流离失所者和流动人口都是处于劣势的人们,此处意指“劣势”,用名词disadvantage。故填disadvantage。

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, schools across the country have put off opening. For more than two months, students have been taking online classes at home.
- 41 -
Su Hua: I am required to attend online classes every day and I always listen attentively to what teachers instruct. As to questions put forward by teachers, I try to answer and talk to myself, even when teachers can’t hear my voice. I can complete daily online homework as expected. Sometimes, food, or other things distract me, but I can put them away. I feel content with my everyday progress. I think the best way to learn efficiently during the extended holiday is to manage myself effectively.
Li Jiang: My parents have said I attend online classes every day but do not pay attention at all. I can’t resist the temptation to play games with smartphones. Thus, it is difficult for me to finish assignments on my own. Last week, when I went back to school to take the first exam, the results were not satisfying. I feel regretful for wasting so much time but I couldn’t control myself. The root cause may lie in lack of self-discipline.

【答案】During the extended holiday, Su Hua completed various tasks on schedule while Li Jiang failed to fulfill the requirements with regret. The obvious difference shows the great importance of self-discipline.
Self-discipline is one of the essential qualities that contribute effectively to a person’s progress. To begin with, it is evident that students with self-discipline tend to stay focused for a longer time, which enables them to attain their goals. Moreover, self-disciplined students are liable to resist various temptations and develop a higher sense of control, thus shaping their characters.
To cultivate self-discipline, one first needs to divide a great goal into small plans, which will help direct his efforts on a regular basis. Secondly, it is beneficial to measure his current behavior against past performance to keep him motivated, enhancing his self-discipline. Last but not least, there is one thing to keep in mind: One discipline leads to another discipline.
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇读写任务。要求考生认真阅读下文信息,按要求写一篇150字左右的文章。
【详解】本文属于读写任务。第一,要求考生归纳短文大意,提炼出讨论的中心思想;第二,要求考生就所给出的一段材料按要求写一篇作文。
首先,在归纳短文大意时,注意用人称和时态,用第三人称和一般过去时及一般现在时,在30字之内。
其次,在写作时注意题目要求。1.阐述观点或提供论据时, 不能直接引用原文语句;2.作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称;3.不必写标题。
- 41 -
最后,这篇写作属于议论文,可以使用第三人称和一般现在时。议论文是比较容易的文体,提出一个主题,对这个主题展开讨论。对于这类文体宜采用三段式文章,第一段首先确定主题,而在这篇文章中主题已经给出,只需要对题目中所给出的段落进行概括总结;第二段可以结合文章的提示说明“自律”的重要性,并用论据对其进行说明;第三段就如何培养“自律”,提出你的建议。中间需要运用上表起承转合的连词、定语从句、名词性从句和非谓语结构等语法现象使文章富有深度、句式多变。此题目中要点给出来的并不多,需要考生头脑风暴,自由发挥,罗列要点,使文章充实起来,组成一篇通顺连贯的短文。需要注意紧扣文章主题,同时在写作时要注意使用高级的词汇与高级的句型,(不要遗漏任何的要点)使用合适的连接词来连接整个文章,使文章更有条理性。
【点睛】本文用了To begin with,Moreover,first,Secondly和Last but not least等衔接词,使得文章结构紧凑,层次分明;文中也使用了大量的从句和短语,从句如第二段中的it is evident that students with self-discipline tend to stay focused for a longer time, which enables them to attain their goals这句话中,既用了主语从句(it做形式主语,真正主语是后面的句子),也用了which引导的非限制性定语从句,短语有on schedule,contribute …to…,enable sb. to do sth.,be liable to和keep in mind等,都为文章增色不少。
