Droplets can be transmitted far longer when sneezing and coughing than speaking, so apart from keeping 1 to 2 meters of distance, also remember to wear a mask when you are close to someone else.‎ l Washing hands can reduce risk of getting infected Please wash your hands promptly and properly after touching elevator buttons or using cash. Do not touch your nose or mouth or rub your eyes before washing your hands. Do not use smart phones while eating.‎ l Receiving delivered packages at home not dangerous Though the virus might be attached to the packaging of delivered items, the possibility of transmission through express delivery is extremely low. Before going out to take your delivery, remember to wear a mask. After removing the packaging, please wash your hands.‎ l Sun exposure cannot kill the virus - 27 -‎ The temperature of sun light cannot reach 56℃, and the ultraviolet rays in sunlight cannot reach the intensity of ultraviolet lamps, so the virus can’t be killed by the sunlight. If you want to go out to get some sun, please wear a mask and take other protective measures.‎ l Taking a hot bath or using air conditioning cannot kill the virus Although the virus is vulnerable to heat. It can only be inactivated after exposure to a 56°C temperature for over 30 minutes.‎ l Woolen fabric doesn’t retain virus longer It is believed that the virus prefers smooth, non-porous surfaces and stays on woolen fabrics for a shorter time. At home or before going out, it is not necessary to consider which kind of material has less chance to absorb the virus—choosing comfortable clothes is enough.‎ After returning home, please wash your hands, sterilize the clothes and dry the clothes.‎ ‎1. What are you suggested to do when taking delivered packages?‎ A. Wear a mask.‎ B. Take a hot bath.‎ C. Open packages.‎ D. Dry the clothes.‎ ‎2. According to the passage, the following sentences are right EXCEPT that _____.‎ A. the virus is vulnerable to heat B. the virus can be transmitted via droplets C. the virus prefers smooth, non-porous surfaces - 27 -‎ D. the virus cannot be killed by the ultraviolet rays ‎3. We can probably read this passage from _____.‎ A. a textbook B. an advertisement C. a travel brochure D. a science magazine ‎【答案】1. A 2. D 3. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了预防和控制新型冠状病毒的方法。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据Receiving delivered packages at home not dangerous部分下的Before going out to take your delivery, remember to wear a mask.可知，在外出取快递之前，一定要带上口罩。A. Wear a mask.(戴口罩)符合以上说法，故选A项。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 细节理解题。l Sun exposure cannot kill the virus部分下的The temperature of sun light cannot reach 56℃, and the ultraviolet rays in sunlight cannot reach the intensity of ultraviolet lamps, so the virus can’t be killed by the sunlight.(阳光的温度达不到56摄氏度，阳光里面的紫外线也达不到紫外线灯里面的强度，所以病毒不能被阳光杀死)可知，紫外线是可以杀死病毒的，只是阳光里的紫外线达不到杀死病毒的强度。D. the virus cannot be killed by the ultraviolet rays(紫外线不能杀死病毒)不符合以上说法，故选D项。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其标题Facts about novel corona virus: Prevention and control(关于新型冠状病毒的事实：预防和控制)可知，本文主要讲述新冠的防御和控制措施，以及一些需要澄清的事实。由此推测，本文很有可能出自一篇科学杂志的文章。D. a science magazine(科学杂志)符合以上推测，故选D项。‎ One rainy afternoon, I was on a crosstown bus when a young woman jumped on. She had a child with her who was about three or four years old. The bus was full, bumpy(颠簸的), and it soon got noisy, as her kid began crying — he was upset that he couldn't sit next to his mother. She looked embarrassed.‎ Then another woman, a little older, stood up and moved so that the mother and child could sit - 27 -‎ ‎ together. The mum smiled as a thank-you. And then three words came out of the older woman's mouth that raised the entire energy of that bus ride: “I've been there.”‎ Simple, undramatic, and honest. In that moment, it seemed to unite the diverse people of the city. Why? Because almost all experiences are shared human experiences. They're universal. We forget that as we go through life, focused on our own troubles and needs — which are actually less unique than we think.‎ Sometimes painful past experiences prevent us from wanting to open up to others because we don't want to revisit our own history. But a wonderful way to honor your past hurt is to help comfort another's current pain.‎ When I was a little girl, we lived on donations from local families and clothing from the " lost and found" baskets. It was shameful for me at the time — I lived in fear of being caught in a friend' s cast-off item.‎ Even when it was warmer, I refused to take off a layer in the classroom for this reason. Now I don't meet people who are in this exact situation, but I do notice when someone is struggling with financial shame or feels less than other people they meet. And I'm quick to say some version of, "I've been there."‎ Can the essence of these three words help you make a small difference right now? It can be as simple as volunteering your seat, sharing some helpful advice, or even lightening the mood with a joke when you notice that someone's uncomfortable — because we're all in this together.‎ ‎4. What influence did the older woman's words have on the people around?‎ A. Causing discomfort. B. Breaking long silence.‎ C. Creating a heated debate. D. Inspiring common feelings.‎ ‎5. What does the author think of personal troubles and needs?‎ A. They are mostly shared experiences. B. They don't really matter to anyone'‎ C. They will be forgotten with time. D. They are unique to each individual.‎ ‎6. Why did the author refuse to take off the coat in the classroom?‎ A. Because she had the same sweater with others.‎ B. Because she stole the sweater from someone'‎ C. Because she liked wearing the coat in summer.‎ D. Because she felt embarrassed wearing others' clothes.‎ - 27 -‎ ‎7. What's the best title for the text?‎ A. Painful Experiences Are No Big Deal B. The Best Way to Honor Your Past Hurt C. True Happiness Comes from Helping Others D. Three Little Words That Bring Us Together ‎【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章由作者在公交车上看到一位老太太给一对母子让座，老太太对那位母亲说“I've been there.(我也经历过)”而引发了对这三个字的思考，并联想到自身小时候家中贫困的经历。作者认为个人的烦恼和需求大多是共同的经历，这三个字可以帮助安慰别人现在的痛苦，将人们联系在一起。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中And then three words came out of the older woman's mouth that raised the entire energy of that bus ride: “I've been there.”可知接着老太太嘴里说出了三个字:“我也经历过。”这三个字让整趟公车都充满了活力。由此可推知，老妇人的话激发了周围人的共同情感。故选D。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中Because almost all experiences are shared human experiences.可知因为几乎所有的经历都是人类共有的经历。由此可知，作者认为个人的烦恼和需求大多是共同的经历。故选A。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第五段When I was a little girl, we lived on donations from local families and clothing from the “lost and found” baskets. It was shameful for me at the time — I lived in fear of being caught in a friend’s cast-off item.可知当我还是个小女孩的时候，我们靠当地家庭的捐赠和“失物招领”篮子里的衣物为生。在当时，这对我来说是很丢脸的——我一直生活在恐惧中，害怕被抓住穿着一个朋友丢弃的东西。由此可知，作者在教室里拒绝脱外衣因为她觉得穿别人的衣服不好意思。故选D。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据最后一段Can the essence of these three words help you make a small difference right now? It can be as simple as volunteering your seat, sharing some helpful advice, or even lightening the mood with a joke when you notice that someone's uncomfortable — because we're all in - 27 -‎ ‎ this together.可知现在，这三个字的本质能帮你做出一点小小的改变吗？它可以很简单，比如自愿让座，分享一些有用的建议，甚至当你注意到某人不舒服时，用一个笑话来缓解情绪——因为我们都是在一起的。结合文章由作者在公交车上看到一位老太太给一对母子让座，老太太对那位母亲说“I've been there.(我也经历过)”而引发了对这三个字的思考，并联想到自身小时候家中贫困的经历。作者认为个人的烦恼和需求大多是共同的经历，这三个字可以帮助安慰别人现在的痛苦，将人们联系在一起。由此可知，D选项“让我们走到一起的三个字”最符合文章标题，故选D。‎ What do extreme marathoners, mountain hikers and professional bicycle racers all have in common? They push their bodies to unsustainable (不可持续) extremes of physical stress.‎ We tend to think there’s no limit to human physical achievements. But a new study, published in Science Advances, says there is a definite limit to human endurance (耐力). Beyond that, our bodies begin to break down.‎ To find the limit, a US research team tracked marathon runners over a five-month period, measuring competitors’ initial basal metabolic rates (BMR, 基础新陈代谢率) – the amount of energy they expend when they rest. Then they looked at how many calories(卡路里) each runner burned per day.‎ The team found that the maximum amount of energy a human can expend is 2.5 times of BMR. It equals 4,000 calories of energy per day. These calories can help a trained athlete to run about 42 kilometers in a day.‎ But people can’t keep using this amount of calories all the time. “You can do really intense stuff for a couple of days, but if you want to last longer then you have to dial it back,” US evolutionary anthropologist Herman Pontzer told the BBC.‎ Pontzer explained that the problem is our guts (消化道). “There’s … a limit to how many calories our guts can effectively absorb per day,” he said in the Daily Mail. At that point, the body is burning calories more quickly than it can absorb food and convert (转化) it into energy.‎ These new findings could help athletes to best work underneath this ceiling. For example, they could manage their daily exercise time based on their BMR, to get enough calories and keep going.‎ However, Pontzer’s team can’t rule out the possibility of someone breaking this limit. “So I guess it’s a challenge to elite endurance athletes,” said Pontzer. “Science works when you’re proven wrong. Maybe someone will break through that ceiling some day and show us what we’re missing.”‎ - 27 -‎ ‎8. What did the US research team find in the new study?‎ A. One’s endurance can be improved through exercise.‎ B. A trained athlete can do intense activities for more than a week.‎ C. The average BMR for athletes is 4,000 calories of energy per day.‎ D. The energy one can expend is no more than 2.5 times of their BMR per day.‎ ‎9. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 6?‎ A. To tell us the problem with our guts.‎ B. To show how our bodies produce energy.‎ C. To explain why there is a limit to human endurance.‎ D. To prove the importance of our guts to physical activities.‎ ‎10. The new findings could help athletes ______.‎ A. keep a more balanced diet B. save time and reduce stress C. arrange their training properly D. improve their performance quickly ‎11. Which of the following would Pontzer probably agree with?‎ A. It’s possible that someone could break the endurance limit.‎ B. It’s no good trying to work above the 2.5x endurance ceiling.‎ C. Further data is needed to make the study’s results more accurate.‎ D. The 2.5x endurance ceiling is not a problem for many elite athletes.‎ ‎【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是说明文。一项新的研究表明，人类的耐力是有明确的极限的，一个人所能消耗的最大能量是基础新陈代谢率的2.5倍。这一发现可以帮助运动员根据基本代谢率来安排每天的训练。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The team found that the maximum amount of energy a human can expend is 2.5 times of BMR.”可知，研究小组发现，一个人所能消耗的最大能量不超过他的基础新陈代谢率的2.5倍。故选D项。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ - 27 -‎ 推理判断题。第五段提出“people can’t keep using this a mount of calories all the time.”人们摄入卡路里的量是有限的；Pontzer解释原因“the problem is our guts, …There’s … a limit to how many calories our guts can effectively absorb per day.（问题在于肠道……我们的肠道每天有效吸收的卡路里是有限的。）” 第六该段解释了人类的耐力有限的原因是因为肠道每天有效吸收的卡路里有限。故选C项。 此题易错项为A项。此题要求阅读时通过文章所提供的的事实，客观地推测作者的写作意图。该段陈述的事实是“肠道每天有效地吸收卡路里是有限的，而身体燃烧卡路里的速度比它吸收食物和将食物转化为能量的速度要快”。从这些事实中，可以推断出在该段中作者是解释为什么一个人的耐力是有限的。因为该段首句提到了“The problem is ourguts”,此题易误选A项。若选A项是断章取义，没有结合上面几段中的内容“The team found that the maximumamount of energy a human can expend is 2.5 times of BMR.”“ But people can't keep using this a mount of calories all thetime.”进行归纳分析。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第七段中“they could manage their daily exercise time based on their BMR, to get enough calories and keep going.（他们可以根据基本代谢率来安排每天的锻炼时间，以获得足够的卡路里并继续锻炼）”可以推断，新的发现能够帮助运动员在极限下更合理安排自己的训练。故选C项。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, Pontzer’s team can’t rule out the possibility of someone breaking this limit.（Pontzer的团队不能排除有人突破这个极限的可能性。）”和最后一句“Maybe someone will break through that ceiling some day”可知，Pontzer 团队认为还是有可能有人会打破这个耐力极限。故选A项。‎ ‎【分析】‎ Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. _____12_____ Here are some major cultural differences between China and the US to help promote mutual understanding. ‎ Privacy Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do. They talk about topics such as ages, income or marital status, which Americans think is annoying and intrusive(侵扰的).‎ - 27 -‎ Family In China, elders are traditionally treated with enormous respect and dignity while the young are cherished and nurtured. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. _____13_____‎ Friends Chinese people have different meanings to define friends. _____14_____ Friendship means lifelong friends who feel deeply obligated to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.‎ Money ‎_____15_____ They are always conservative when they are planning to spend money. It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts.‎ ‎_____16_____‎ Basically, China values the community and the US values the individual. If you achieve something in the US, it's because you were great. While in China, if you achieve something in China it's because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do gets attributed to the greater whole, while in America individual merits are celebrated.‎ A. Collectivism vs. Individualism B. Education and Career vs. Character and Faith C. You're welcome to leave your comments.‎ D. As is known to all, the Chinese like to save.‎ E. Just hanging out together time to time is not friendship.‎ F. You have to learn different cultural practices and try to adapt to them.‎ G. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.‎ ‎【答案】12. F 13. G 14. E 15. D 16. A ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。生活在一个与你自己的文化不同的文化中，是一种既令人兴奋又具有挑战性的经历。你必须学习不同的文化习俗，并努力去适应它们。文章主要说明了中美之间的一些主要文化差异，以帮助促进相互理解。‎ - 27 -‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 结合后文Here are some major cultural differences between China and the US to help promote mutual understanding.可知以下是中美之间的一些主要文化差异，以帮助促进相互理解。由此可知，生活在一个与你自己的文化不同的文化中，要求你必须学习不同的文化习俗，并努力去适应它们。后文就中美之间的一些主要文化差异展开了说明，也证实了这一点。故F选项“你必须学习不同的文化习俗，并努力去适应它们”符合上下文语境，故选F。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 根据上文In China, elders are traditionally treated with enormous respect and dignity while the young are cherished and nurtured. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children.可知在中国，老年人传统上受到极大的尊重和尊严，而年轻人则被珍惜和培养。在美国，家庭的目标是鼓励独立，尤其是孩子们的独立。由此可知，上文提到了美国人对孩子培养的态度，本句承接上文说明，美国的老年人的情况是很少和他们的孩子住在一起。故G选项“与中国人不同，美国老年人很少和他们的孩子住在一起”符合上下文语境，故选G。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 根据后文Friendship means lifelong friends who feel deeply obligated to give each other whatever help might seem required.可知友谊意味着终身的朋友，他们感到有义务给对方任何可能需要的帮助。由此可知，本句是在说明中国人对待友谊的一些看法——只是经常一起出去玩不是友谊。故E选项“只是经常一起出去玩不是友谊”符合上下文语境，故选E。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 根据后文They are always conservative when they are planning to spend money. It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts.可知他们在花钱的时候总是很保守。但美国的情况不同，与中国家庭相比，很少有美国家庭为紧急情况和教育存钱。由此可知，本句是在说明中国人与美国人不同，中国人有储蓄的习惯。故D选项“众所周知，中国人喜欢储蓄”符合上下文语境，故选D。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 本空为本段小标题，根据后文Basically, China values the community and the US values the individual.可知基本上，中国重视集体，而美国重视个人。由此可知，本段主要是在讨论中国的集体主义和美国的个人主义观念。故A选项“集体主义与个人主义”符合上下文语境，故选A。‎ - 27 -‎ There are some clouds that have silver linings and some that don't — Anonym Sometimes I feel like an open book, empty.

Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies. And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development. He was history's greatest child genius, performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot".‎ So, if you have kids or you're expecting to have them, how seriously should you take the Mozart effect? Will the child who doesn't listen to Mozart in the cradle (摇篮) be limited to an ordinary life? Are you a bad parent if your kids don't know about any works of Mozart? ‎ Relax. There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive( 认 知 ) abilities. The whole idea comes from a small study done in 1993,which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major(K 448)showed some improvement in a test of spatial(空间的) skills.‎ This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician, Don Campbell, in a book. Campbell's claims about the superpowers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the - 27 -‎ ‎ media and fueled a craze for Mozart-based enrichment activities. In 1998.for example, the governor of Georgia in the USA requested funds to send classical-music CDs to all parents of newborns in the state.‎ Since then, scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it. The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999,and the increase students' spatial skills was found to be insignificant. In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart development and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence.‎ ‎38. Why do people relate Mozart to children's intelligence development?‎ A. Because he was a royal Austrian composer.‎ B. Because he owned extraordinary music talent.‎ C Because he could perform music as a little child.‎ D. Because his music is suitable for pregnant women.‎ ‎39. What can we learn from the small study in 1993?‎ A. It added to the popularity of Mozart's music.‎ B. The finding was originally discovered by a musician.‎ C. It urged Georgia's governor to spread classical music.‎ D. Evidence was found to support Mozart effect on intelligence.‎ ‎40. What does the underlined word probably mean？‎ A. Sudden． B. unimportant． C. Average． D. Steady．‎ ‎41. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. New Findings: Mozart Effect to Be Proved.‎ B. Secrets Uncovered :History of Mozart Effect.‎ C. Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter?‎ D. How Does Mozart Improve Kids' Intelligence?‎ ‎【答案】38. B 39. A 40. B 41. C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇议论文。本文主要就“奥地利作曲家沃尔夫冈•莫扎特的音乐可以增加孩子的智力”这件事情展开了讨论和研究，科学家们也对莫扎特提高智力的说法进行了研究，但没有发现任何证据。‎ - 27 -‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段“One of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so﹣called Mozart effect，which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence． Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies．And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development．He was history's greatest child genius， performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot"”可知，最流行的育儿观念之一是所谓的莫扎特效应，它说听奥地利作曲家沃尔夫冈•莫扎特的音乐可以增加孩子的智力。一些孕妇甚至用压在肚子上的耳机播放莫扎特的录音。不难看出莫扎特的他是历史上最伟大的儿童天才，在我们许多人满足于无调子的歌唱"我是一个小茶壶"的年龄时，他已经为国王和王后演奏了令人惊讶的音乐。所以人们把莫扎特和儿童智力发展联系起来是因为他拥有非凡的音乐天赋。故选Ｂ。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段“The whole idea comes from a small study done in 1993， which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major （K 448）showed some improvement in a test of spatial （空间的） skills． This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician， Don Campbell， in a book． Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart﹣based enrichment activities”可知，整个想法来自于1993年的一项小型研究，该研究发现，在D大调（K448）听莫扎特两钢琴奏鸣曲的大学生在空间技能测试中表现出了一定的进步，这一发现后来被一位音乐家唐•坎贝尔（Don Campbell）在一本书中描述为一件非常惊人的事情。坎贝尔关于莫扎特音乐超能力的说法被媒体无休止地重复，并激起了对以莫扎特为基础的丰富活动的狂热。可知1993年的小研究增加了莫扎特音乐的受欢迎程度。故选A。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据最后一段划线词所在的上下文句子Since then，scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it．和In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development， and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence - 27 -‎ 可知，此后，科学家们对莫扎特提高智力的说法进行了研究，但没有发现任何证据，德国联邦教育和研究部要求一个小组专家们对有关莫扎特和儿童发展的科学文献进行了研究，他们没有理由相信这会增加智力。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出，可知的划线处的意思应该是“不重要的”。所以和B项"unimportant”意思一致。故选B。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。阅读全文以及根据第一段“One of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so﹣called Mozart effect， which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence” 可知，最流行的育儿观念之一是所谓的莫扎特效应，它说听奥地利作曲家沃尔夫冈•莫扎特的音乐可以增加孩子的智力。以及短文主要就"奥地利作曲家沃尔夫冈•莫扎特的音乐可以增加孩子的智力"这件事情展开了讨论和研究，所以C选项“听莫扎特的音乐能让孩子们更聪明吗？”为本段最佳标题。故选C。‎ 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1 个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ Reading a paper book may be a forgotten luxury for many people thanks to today's busy lifestyles, ___42___ listening to a book, while shopping or jogging is a growing trend.
