A. whether B. that C. which D. what
【答案】D
【解析】

B
The first time a tortoise walked through my hut at Middle Camp on Aldabra Atoll, I was amazed. I grabbed my camera and carefully positioned myself to take this wildlife encounter. The second time: same thing. The third time: I picked up my phone and took a snapshot. By the fourth or fifth time, I didn't even look when I felt something bump into me. I knew what it was.
I was there to shoot a story about island restoration(修复)in the Seychelles, far off the east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. Until roughly the middle of the past century, the small island nation showed signs of real environmental killing—local vegetation(植被)cleared to make way for coconut plantations, foreign rats and mice running uncontrolled, native sea turtles and giant tortoises being exploited. Biodiversity seemed destroyed. But then the country experienced a shift in conservation awareness — and the giant Aldabra tortoises are among its most visible signs.
Every morning when I woke up and walked outside the hut, I had to remind myself that I hadn't traveled back in time. I could see flightless Aldabra rails, coconut crabs the size of dinner plates, and giant tortoises—roughly four feet long and weighing up to 550 pounds—just wandering around. The number of sharks in the bay was crazy. Frigatebirds and boobies(鲣鸟)nested in the mangroves(a kind of tree). When we left our hut doors open, which we often did to let in air, the tortoises would walk right through.
In the late afternoon or early evening, whenever they'd finished eating, the tortoises would drop themselves down and fall asleep with their heads outstretched. That made nighttime trips to the outhouse perilous. To get there, we'd have to go 200 feet into the mangroves, negotiating what I called the tortoise slalom (之形障碍)trail.
It was a track without a pattern, because of course they picked different places to sleep every night. Avoiding them was important: Falling headfirst over a tortoise onto the sharp coral rock could lead to serious injury on an island far from medical facilities.
Nothing was easy on Aldabra, and much of it was insanely difficult. Yet living among the tortoises in this primordial place, in one of the last spots where reptiles still rule; was one of the happiest times of my life.
40. How did the author feel about his final meeting with the tortoise in his room?
A. Calm B. Excited C. Concerned D. Disturbed
41. What made the wildlife on the island suffer during the last century?
A Introducing foreign species. B. Killing too many rats and mice.
C. Planting lots of coconut trees. D. Repairing the building on the island.
42. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A. To stress the importance of their work.
B. To introduce how large the tortoises are.
C. To present his daily routine on the island.
D. To show how the wildlife is diverse on the island.
43. Which can best replace the underlined word "perilous" in the 4th paragraph?
A. risky . B. competitive C. successful D. interesting
44. What might be the suitable title for this passage?
A. Island fills with curious tourists.
B. Tortoises rule on this isolated island.
C. Efforts are made to protect the environment.
D. Aldabra is heaven for wild animals.
【答案】40. A 41. C 42. D 43. A 44. B
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者在印度洋群岛上,与海龟共同度过的快乐时光。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“By the fourth or fifth time, I didn't even look when I felt something bump into me. I knew what it was.(到第四次或第五次,有东西撞到我时,我甚至不去看了。我知道它是什么。)”可知,作者最后几次在房间遇到乌龟甚至都不去看,对此已经司空见惯,由此可推知,作者内心是“平静的”。故选A项。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Until roughly the middle of the past century, the small island nation showed signs of real environmental killing—local vegetation(植被)cleared to make way for coconut plantations, foreign rats and mice running uncontrolled, native sea turtles and giant tortoises being exploited.(
直到大约上世纪中期,这个小岛国才展示出环境杀戮的迹象——为椰子种植园让路,当地的植被被清理,外来老鼠失控地满地跑,当地海龟和巨龟被开发。)”可知,是由于椰子种植园,当地的野生生物才遭受损失。故选C项。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。第三段提到作者每天早上醒来走出房间时,可以看到不会飞的Aldabra rails、盘子大小的椰子蟹、四英尺长550英镑重的巨龟、鲨鱼、军舰鸟和鲣鸟,所以本段主要是为了展示岛上野生生物的多样性。故选D项。
【43题详解】
词义猜测题。划线词所在句的主语That指代上文提到的“the tortoises would drop themselves down and fall asleep with their heads outstretched(这些乌龟会掉下来,伸着头睡觉)”,下文提到“To get there, we'd have to go 200 feet into the mangroves, negotiating what I called the tortoise slalom trail.(为了到那儿,我们不得不走200英尺去红树林,越过我称之为乌龟障碍物的小路。)”,由此可推知,划线句“That made nighttime trips to the outhouse perilous.”意为“那使晚上的户外旅行很冒险”,所以划线词“perilous”意为“冒险的”。故选A项。
【44题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容尤其是最后一句“Yet living among the tortoises in this primordial place, in one of the last spots where reptiles still rule; was one of the happiest times of my life.”可知,文章主要讲述了作者在印度洋Aldabra群岛上与海龟共同度过的快乐时光,Aldabra群岛是被爬行动物占领的原始地方之一,所以B项“海龟统治孤立的岛屿”适合作本文标题。故选B项。
C
Eric Attayi, owner of the Urban Bicycle Gallery in Houston, Texas, has watched the pandemic transform his shop in a way most businesses can only dream of.
Bicycles are selling before he has time to assemble them for display. Attayi said he'd matched his 2019 sales by the start of May. He's had to hire new employees to meet demand, and hasn't taken a day off since February. Attayi said now the phone doesn't stop ringing and his guys get overwhelmed. He'd given raises and started buying lunch for his stressed staff.
As unemployment reaches record levels and small businesses scramble to survive, bike shops have been an exception.
They're thriving whether they're in car-dominated cities like Houston or more traditional biking areas like New York. Keeping enough bikes in stock, and finishing repairs in a timely
manner, has become a challenge. Customers are being turned away, in some cases.
New customers are looking for ways to be active and outdoors. Bike shop owners say that the closing of gyms and yoga studios during the pandemic has contributed. Others say customers are looking for a commuting alternative to public transportation. Social spacing is easiest on individual modes of transportation, like cars and bikes. In March 2020, US cycling sales increased 39% when compared with March 2019, according to a survey.
"Bikes are like the new toilet paper," Attayi said. "If it's available, buy it."
Robert Keating, owner of the Triathlon Lab outside Los Angeles, said he's never seen anything like the current bicycle boom in the 37 years he's worked in bike shops. He's shifted his shop from a focus on high-end bicycles to affordable bikes people are likely to ride in their neighborhood. Beach cruisers have been especially popular, he said.
Bike shop owners are also wondering how long the current boom will last. Some said customers were more interested in biking because with less car traffic, roads felt safer. Their interest may decrease as traffic returns. But some cities have begun to reallocate street space to bike lanes, which could lead to more biking in the long term.
Phil Koopman, owner of BicycleSpace in Washington DC, compared the current bicycle boom to 1999, when many people bought computers to prepare for Y2K.
"Then those companies didn't sell a lot of computers for a few years because everyone already had one," Koopman said. "That's the big question. Is this a one-time thing or is it something sustainable?"
45. What can we learn from Para l and Para 2?
A. Most businesses have experienced the same development as Attayi's shop.
B. Attayi's 2019 sales were as many as those of the start of May.
C. Bikes are flying off shelves, overwhelming shops.
D. The staff's wages were raised because they had no day off since February.
46. What does the underlined word They in Para 4 refer to?
A. Unemployment levels.
B. Small businesses.
C. Bike shops
D. Stressed staff
47. What is the challenge for bike shops?
A. Jo attract customers when they are not keen on biking.
B. To survive in car-dominated ciles.
C. To promote their sales in traditional biking cities.
D. To prepare enough bikes for sale and do repairs quickly.
48. Which is not the reason why more customers are turning to bikes during the pandemic?
A. They can spend much less on qualified goods.
B. They cannot go to gyms and yoga studios.
C. They prefer biking to public transportation.
D. They are trying to find an active way in the open air.
49. We can infer from para7 and para8 that _______?
A. The current bicycle boom was totally within Keating's expectations.
B. Triathlon Lab used to mainly sell bikes that were unaffordable for most people.
C. Roads feel dangerous when there are more bikers.
D. People lose interest in biking because there is no bike lane.
50. What is Phil Koopman's attitude towards the bike boom?
A. Short-sighted. B. Unconcerned.
C. Skeptical. D. Optimistic
【答案】45. C 46. C 47. D 48. A 49. B 50. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。2020年流行病形势下,美国出现了自行车繁荣现象,文章主要分析了其原因。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“has watched the pandemic transform his shop in a way most businesses can only dream of(看到了流行病把他的店以一种大部分商人只能做梦才能做到的方式转变)”及第二段“Bicycles are selling before he has time to assemble them for display. Attayi said now the phone doesn't stop ringing and his guys get overwhelmed(自行车在组装好展示之前就被卖掉了,阿塔伊说,现在预购电话一直响个不停,他的员工都不知所措了)
”可知,从第一段和第二段得知,自行车在商店里被一售而空,商店应接不暇。故选C项。
【46题详解】
词义猜测题。画线词前一句提到As unemployment reaches record levels and small businesses scramble to survive, bike shops have been an exception.“当失业达到记录水平,小型企业艰难求生时,自行车商店成了一个例外”,画线词所在句意为“无论是在像休斯顿这样以汽车为主的城市或者像纽约这样更传统的自行车地区,它们都正处于繁荣的势头”,由此可推知,画线词“They”指代上一句中的“bike shops”。故选C项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Keeping enough bikes in stock, and finishing repairs in a timely manner, has become a challenge.(保持足够的自行车库存并及时完成维修,成为一个挑战。)”可知,对自行车商店来说,保持足够的售卖库存和快速维修是个挑战。故选D项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“New customers are looking for ways to be active and outdoors. Bike shop owners say that the closing of gyms and yoga studios during the pandemic has contributed. Others say customers are looking for a commuting alternative to public transportation.(新顾客在寻找保持积极和户外运动的方式。自行车商店老板说健身房和瑜伽馆关闭也促成了这一现象。其他人说顾客在寻找一种代替公共交通的通勤方式。)”可知,B、C、D项都是顾客在流行病期间选择自行车的原因,故选A项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第七段中“He's shifted his shop from a focus on high-end bicycles to affordable bikes people are likely to ride in their neighborhood.(他把他的商店从以高端自行车为主转向人们更愿意在附近骑的平价自行车。)”由此判断出Triathlon Lab以前主要售卖大多数人买不起的自行车。故选B项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后两段内容Phil Koopman, owner of BicycleSpace in Washington DC, compared the current bicycle boom to 1999, when many people bought computers to prepare for Y2K."Then those companies didn't sell a lot of computers for a few years because everyone already had one," Koopman said. "That's the big question. Is this a one-time thing or is it something sustainable?"可知,Phil Koopman
把当今的自行车的繁荣和1999年很多人买电脑的现象相比,并说:“很多人几年都不买电脑因为每个人都有了一台,这是个大问题。这是一次性的事情还是持续的一件事呢”,由此可推测,Phil Koopman对自行车的繁荣持“怀疑的”态度。故选C项。
D
If you believe that scientists and artists are most creative when they're young, you are missing an important part of the story. A new study published in De Economist looked at Nobel Prize winners in the field of economics. It found there are two different peaks of creativity. One comes early in a person's career, while another comes later.
The research supports previous work by the authors that found similar patterns in the arts and other sciences.
"We believe what we found in this study isn't limited to economics, but could apply to creativity more generally," said Bruce Weinberg, lead author of the study and professor of economics at The Ohio State University.
"Many people believe that creativity is exclusively associated with youth, but it really depends on what kind of creativity you're talking about."
In the study, those who did their most groundbreaking work early in their careers tended to be "conceptual" innovators(创新者).
These type of innovators "think outside the box", challenging conventional wisdom and suddenly coming up with new ideas. Conceptual innovators are not yet immersed(沉浸于)in the accepted theories of their field, Weinberg said.
But there is another kind of creativity, he said, which is found among "experimental" innovators. These innovators accumulate knowledge through their careers and find new ways to understand it.
The long periods of trial and error for important experimental innovations come later in a Nobel laureate's(荣誉获得者的)career.
"Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach," Weinberg said.
The researchers took a novel, empirical(经验主义的)approach to the study, which involved 31 laureates. They arranged the laureates on a list from the most experimental to most conceptual.
This ranking was based on the laureates' most important work, classifying them into "conceptual" or "experimental".
After classifying the laureates, the researchers determined the age at which each laureate made his most important contribution to economics and could be considered at his creative peak.
They found that conceptual laureates peaked between ages 25 and 29. Experimental laureates peaked when they were roughly twice as old, in their mid-50s.
"Our research suggests that when you're most creative is more about how you approach your work."
51. What does the underlined phrase "think outside the box" mean?
A. Follow rules strictly. B. Experiment on boxes.
C. Break old thought patterns. D. Figure out how to escape from a box.
52. What do we know about "experimental" innovators?
A. They usually come up with new ideas all of a sudden.
B. They make discoveries through constant trial and error.
C. The majority of them reach their creative peak in their twenties.
D. They make more contributions than "conceptual" innovators.
53 Which of the following statements about the study published in De Economist is false?
A. The study is not the first of its kind.
B. The conclusion can be applied to other areas.
C. The laureates' most important work decides whether they are "conceptual" or "experimental".
D. The "conceptual" won their Nobel Prizes between ages 25 and 29.
54. What do the researchers believe determines someone's creative peak?
A. One's personality type. B. What kind of job one takes.
C. How one handles their work. D. One's attitude toward their work.
55. What's the main idea of this passage?
A. Creativity comes at any age, young or old.
B. Creativity tends to decrease as people get older.
C. Economists, artists and other scientists have much in common.
D. Economists are more creative than artists and other scientists.
【答案】51. C 52. B 53. D 54. C 55. A
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了通过对一些诺贝尔奖获得者事业生涯的研究,发现人的创造力会有两种峰值,这取决于你是哪种类型的创新者,是“概念性的”的创新者还是“实验性的”创新者。
【51题详解】
词句猜测题。在划线短语所在的句子中,后面的非谓语动词部分“challenging conventional wisdom and suddenly coming up with new ideas”是对划线短语的补充解释,意思为“挑战传统智慧,突然想出新点子”,也就是勇于突破一些旧的思维模式,跳出框框去思维。故选C项。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第8段中“The long periods of trial and error for important experimental innovations come later in a Nobel laureate's(荣誉获得者的)career.”在一位诺贝尔奖得主的职业生涯中,重要的实验性的创新经历了漫长的不断的反复实验。由此可知“实验性”的创新者是从不断的反复实验中获得发现。故选B项。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段中“They found that conceptual laureates peaked between ages 25 and 29.”可知,
“概念性”的诺贝尔奖获得者创造力在25岁到29岁之间达到顶峰,不是在25岁到29岁之间获得诺贝尔奖。故选D项。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Our research suggests that when you're most creative is more about how you approach your work.”可知,研究人员认为,决定你什么时候达到创造力巅峰的是你如何处理你的工作。此题是语义转换,“how you approach your work”和选项C中的“How one handles their work”是语义转换。故选C项。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段中提到“It found there are two different peaks of creativity. One comes early in a person's career, while another comes later.”
研究发现,创造力有两个不同的巅峰。在一个人的职业生涯中,有一个高峰出现得比较早,而另一个高峰出现得比较晚。倒数第二段提到“They found that conceptual laureates peaked between ages 25 and 29. Experimental laureates peaked when they were roughly twice as old, in their mid-50s.”研究还表明,“概念性的”诺贝尔奖获得者在25岁到29岁之间达到创造力巅峰,而“实验性的”诺贝尔奖获得者的巅峰时期是他们年龄的两倍,也就是50多岁的时候。因此文章主要是说明创造力巅峰可以出现在任何年龄,可能在年轻的时候,也可能是年老的时候。什么时候出现创造力巅峰与你如何处理你的工作有关。故选A项。

第三部分:写作
第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题
I remember doing the household chores to help my mother when I was nine. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器)bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up. Twenty years later, in 1978, with this lifelong dislike of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless one.
Easier said than done, of course. I didn't realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (样机).By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.
In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (滤网). No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business. But soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner.
I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.
Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats
the excitement of invention.
56. What drove the author to make a bagless vacuum cleaner? (No more than 10 words)
57. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us? (No more than 10 words)
58. Why did the companies refuse to license the author's technology? (No more than 10 words)
59. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? (No more than 10 words)
60. What lesson may you learn from the author's experience? (No more than 25 words)
【答案】56. The dislike of the way the vacuum cleaner worked
His dislike of the way the existing cleaners worked
His discontent with existing cleaners.
57. The tough process of the new invention.
The tough time the author experienced perfecting his design .
58. Because it was bad for business.
Because they thought they might suffer loss.
59. I welcome/(am willing to take) risk and accept possible failure.
I'm still ready to take risk and accept possible failure.
60. I have learned that failure is the mother of success, so we shouldn't be afraid of failure. We should try our best until we succeed.
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者经历重重挑战和难关,最终让自己发明吸尘器——戴森成为英国畅销吸尘器的故事。故事告诉我们,不要恐惧失败,在没有成功之前,都要竭尽全力。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器)bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up. Twenty years later, in 1978, with this lifelong dislike of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless one.(我讨厌换真空吸尘器的口袋,也不喜欢去捡机器没有吸进去的东西。20年后,在1978年,因为不喜欢这个机器的工作方式,我决定制作一个没有口袋的吸尘器)可知,作者决定制作一个没有口袋吸尘器是因为他不喜欢真空吸尘器的工作方式。故填The dislike of the way the vacuum cleaner worked./ His dislike of the way the existing cleaners worked./His discontent with existing cleaners.
【57题详解】
主旨大意题。根据本段的主要内容,尤其是Easier said than done, of course. I didn't realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes(当然,说起来容易,做起来难。我没想到我会花五年的时间,来优化我的设计,在此过程中我做了5127个样机)可知,本段主要讲述了作者研发新的吸尘器的艰辛。故填The tough process of the new invention./The tough time the author experienced perfecting his design.
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business.(没人批准我的想法,不是因为它不好,而是因为它对企业不利)可知,因为这个发明对企业不利,所以没人批准他的想法。故填Because it was bad for business./Because they thought they might suffer loss.
【59题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention.可知,我仍然敞开双臂,拥抱风险和潜在的失败作为过程的一部分。因为没有什么比发明更令人兴奋。根据上下文,推测划线部分的意思是“我愿意接受挑战和可能的失败”。故填I welcome/(am willing to take) risk and accept possible failure./I'm still ready to take risk and accept possible failure.
【60题详解】
开放题。根据本文的主要内容可知,本文主要讲述了作者经历重重挑战和难关,最终让自己发明吸尘器——戴森成为英国畅销吸尘器的故事。从作者的故事,我们可以学到:失败是成功之母,因此我们不要害怕失败。相反,我们应该竭尽全力直到成功为止。故填I have learned that failure is the mother of success, so we shouldn't be afraid of failure. We should try our best until we succeed.
