四、阅读理解
12．（6分）The Nobel Prizes in science have been dominated （占主要地位） by men in previous years.But this year，women stole the spotlight!
Jennifer Doudna from the US and Emmanuelle Charpentier from France shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.It's the first time in history for two women to win the prize without having to share it with a man.At the same time，US astronomer Andrea Ghez became the fourth woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics，which she shared with two other scientists.Its first female winner was Marie Curie in 1903.
Doudna and Charpentier were awarded for developing CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors，a technology that can rewrite DNA in the cells of plants，animals and micro﹣organisms（微生物）.It has had a "revolutionary influence on the life sciences，" according to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.For example，it can help us plant crops that can withstand droughts（抗旱）.It could also help treat inherited diseases in the future.
On hearing that they were the sixth and seventh women to win the Chemistry Prize，Charpentier said that she hopes girls and young female scientists will "understand that nothing is impossible." They can "find great discoveries.It's independent of the gender. "
Ghez，who was awarded for her research on black holes，had the same feeling. "I'm delighted to be part of the change where more women clearly succeed.I think that's an important way in which we encourage the next generation，" Ghez said.In addition to her research，she was also one of the authors of the 2006 children's book You Can Be a Woman Astronomer.

（1）What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about？ 　 　
A.How they did their research.
B.Why they were given the prize.
C.What they found in their research.
D.How winning the prize has affected their lives.
（2）What does Ghez think about winning a Nobel Prize？ 　 　
A.It will change her life in a big way.
B.It proves that nothing is impossible.
C.It shows that women are more successful than men.
D.It can encourage the next generation of female scientists.
（3）What do we know from the story？ 　 　
A.There were seven female Nobel Prize winners in total.
B.Ghez shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with at least one man.
C.More women are working as chemists than astronomers.
D.Ghez will write a children's book about winning the prize.
13．（6分）But ugly fruits should be loved，too.In recent years，a new crop of "ugly produce" companies have been around the U.S.These star﹣ups sell those ugly fruits that supermarkets refuse.And they send them right to your door.
The companies say they're on a mission（使命）.They want to stop billions of pounds of imperfect produce（农产品） from going to waste.Think of it this way：Is a banged﹣up （be knocked and some places broken） banana any less tasty in a peanut butter sandwich？Why should it be thrown away？
Sounds like these companies have the right idea.They even offer deep low prices.That's great news for customers.But not everyone is happy.Some people say these companies may be thinking only about themselves.
_________
Imperfect produce isn't always wasted.
Many small farmers had already been selling imperfect produce to customers and farmers markets.Then the ugly produce companies stared growing up.These companies.such as Imperfect Produce，can offer more fruits and veggies from large farms around the county.They make it harder for smaller farms to compete.So the farmers are losing money.
Also，ugly fruits and veggies already have uses：Take the food service industry for example.There，produce it sliced，diced，blended，and more.No one cares if the fruit is pretty or ugly.On farms，fruits can be fed to animals.Rotted （腐烂的） fruit is added back into soil for nutrients.And，what's more，ugly produce companies have been charged with taking food away from the needy.
Are these start﹣ups causing more bad than good？
Not So Bad，After All？
What do ugly produce companies say？They are guarding themselves.In March 2019，Imperfect Produce told people that the company doesn't take away from the needy.It gets resources from farms only after food banks take what they want，it said.Also，the company often gives food to food banks.Put that in your food basket!
It is true that produce goes to waste in America.The Department of Agriculture has said that food waste is a big problem.In fact，about 30 to 40 percent of the country's food is wasted.
But Imperfect Produce says both farmers and ugly produce companies can help reduce food waste.It doesn't have to be either﹣or.
No matter whose side you're on，remember this：It's what's on the inside that counts.

（1）What does Paragraph 3 mainly.talk about？ 　 　
A.Ugly produce companies are doing more good than bad.
B.Not everyone supports ugly produce companies' missions.
C.Ugly produce companies are loved because of lower prices.
D.Ugly produce companies make the most use of imperfect produce.
（2）What is the most suitable for the_________？ 　 　
A.The Ugly Truth？
B.Not So Good，Above All.
C.But So Bad，Really？
D.The ugly Wasted.
（3）The writer probably wrote the article in order to　 　 .
A.tell ugly produce companies to give unwanted fruits and vegetables to the needy
B.show the reasons why there are more and more ugly produce companies
C.offer readers an introduction to ugly produce companies and their missions
D.make readers only buy food from companies that work with smaller farms
14．（8分）Nature and culture are often seen as opposite ideas.What belongs to nature cannot be the result of human activities and on the other hand，cultural development is achieved against nature.However，this is not the only opinion on the relationship between nature and culture.Studies in the development of humans suggest that culture whether taken as an effort against nature or a natural effort，is part of the development of the human species（物种）.
Several modern writers saw the process of education as a struggle（斗争） against human nature.We are born with wild natures，such as eating and behaving in a disorganized way or acting selfishly.Education uses culture as a way to get us out of our widest natures；it is thanks to culture that the human species could learn to adapt（适应），progress and raise itself above and beyond other species.
Over the past century and a half，however，studies in the history of human development have shown that the formation of culture is part of the biological adaptation.Consider，for example，hunting（打猎） .It seems to be an adaptation，which allowed humans to move into new and different areas，opening up the opportunity to change living habits.At the same time，the development of weapons（武器） is related to that adaptation—from rocks and stones to a set of hunting tools，and from hunting tools to rules relating to the proper use of weapons.Hunting also seems to be responsible for a whole set of bodily abilities，such as balancing on one foot.Just think of how this very simple thing is closely related to dance，a key expression of human culture.It is then clear that biological development and cultural development are closely tied.
The transmission of culture seems to be directly related to what's in our blood.Just as snails carry their shell，so do we bring along our culture.However，culture is also passed on among people of the same times or among people belonging to different populations.We can learn how to make jiaozi even if we were born from Russian parents in Paris just as we can learn how to speak English even if none of our family or friends speaks that language.

（1）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？ 　 　
A.Culture belongs to human nature.
B.Nature teaches humans how to adapt.
C.Humans are supposed to be well organized.
D.Education pushes the human species to progress.
（2）Why does the writer talk about hunting in Paragraph3 　 　
A.To suggest some possible ways of changing living habits.
B.To stress the importance of tools in humans' struggle for life.
C.To show how culture develops as humans adapt to the environment.
D.To explain why there is a need to call for the proper use of weapons.
（3）The word "transmission" in Paragraph 4 probably means "　 　"
A.system
B.spread
C.start
D.spirit
（4）What is the writer's opinion on the nature﹣culture relationship？ 　 　
A.Culture and nature are separate yet balanced.
B.Culture depends much on nature to progress.
C.Nature and culture are different but connected.
D.Nature follows the unwritten rules set by culture.

五、任务型阅读
15．Scientists study the world and learn about how it works.As they study the world，scientists use a process（过程） called the scientific method.They ask important questions and search for answers.Sometimes they make amazing discoveries!There are times when a scientist is unable to answer his question.If he has taken good notes，another scientist may come along later use his notes to find the answer．Every year there is new knowledge.

Finally，you conclude your experiment.You begin to look over your notes.You decided what you find out in your experiment.You make a final report about whether or not your hypothesis is correct.You use reasons and evidence（证据） to support your discovery．
Using the scientific method can be challenging（有挑战性的）.However，it could be rewarding（值得的）．All the steps are organized in a process.When you provide observations and data as evidence to support your conclusion，your ideas are more likely to be accepted.

The scientific method
• The scientific method is useful to scientists when they study the world.
• If a scientist can't answer his question，a second scientist may make progress on the question，with the（1）　 　of the first scientist's notes.
Step 1

Step 3

1．（1分）﹣﹣﹣ Why are you so crazy about going travelling in the country？
﹣﹣﹣ Because I can always find in travelling _________ peace that is missing in _________ world full of challenges.（　　）
A．the；a B．the； / C．/；a D．/；the
【分析】﹣﹣﹣你为什么对去乡村旅行这么着迷？
﹣﹣﹣因为我总能在旅行中找到在一个充满挑战的世界中缺失的宁静。
【解答】根据语境，第一个空格后peace特指"在充满挑战的世界中缺失的宁静"，因此选冠词the；再结合句意可知，第二个空格后world泛指"一个充满挑战的世界"，用不定冠词，world以辅音音素开头，所以前面加冠词a。
故选：A。
2．（1分）The acting skills the TV and film stars are paying attention to _________ a more important part than their appearance in their successful career.（　　）
A．play B．playing C．to play D．plays
【分析】在成功的职业生涯中，影视明星们注重的是演技，而不是外表。
【解答】空格前是省略了that的定语从句：The acting skills（that）the TV and film stars are paying attention to...此句主语应是The acting skills"演技"，是复数形式，空格处缺了句子的谓语，主谓一致。
故选：A。
3．（1分）The three spacemen _________ have successfully finished their tasks _________ safely returned after three months' stay in China's Space Station.We _________ praise them too much for their efforts.（　　）
A．either；or；can't
B．not only；but also；can't
C．both；and；won't
D．not only；but also；won't
【分析】这三名宇航员不仅成功完成了任务，而且在中国空间站停留了三个月后安全返回。对于他们的努力，我们无论怎样赞扬也不过分。
【解答】either…or…要么…要么…；both…and…两者都；not only…but also…不仅…而且…；根据题干The three spacemen _________ have successfully finished their tasks _________ safely returned ，可知，他们不仅成功完成了任务，而且在中国空间站停留了三个月后安全返回，符合语境。根据前面的句意：这三名宇航员不仅成功完成了任务，而且在中国空间站停留了三个月后安全返回。可知他们已经完成了这些，已经努力了。对于他们的努力，我们无论怎样赞扬也不过分，故填can't，更符合语境。而won't，是表将来。
故选：B。
4．（1分）﹣﹣﹣ What do you think of the Yungang Grottoes（云冈石窟） _________ western art to the East？
﹣﹣﹣ Oh，I have never seen _________ one.（　　）
A．connects；a better B．connecting；the best
C．connects；the best D．connecting；a better
【分析】—你认为将西方艺术与东方艺术连接起来的云冈石窟怎么样？
—哦，我从来没见过比这更好的。
【解答】固定搭配connect...to..."把......和......连接"，现在分词作定语修饰名词the Yungang Grottoes，所以第一空填connecting"连接的；起连接作用的"；根据第二空所在句句意可知，这里是和其它地方作比较，要用比较级的形式表示最高级的概念。
故选：D。
5．（1分）Making a good job choice seems _________ choosing a good life.And in general，it _________whether you will have a sense of happiness.（　　）
A．as well as；depends on
B．as good as；depends on
C．as well as；decides
D．as good as，decides
【分析】选择一个好的工作似乎和选择一个好的生活一样好。一般来说，它决定了你是否会有幸福感。
【解答】as+形容词原级/副词原级+as，意为"和…一样"，根据题干中seem，可知seem+形容词，意为"似乎怎么样"，排除AC；depends on依靠，依赖；decide决定；根据题干it _________whether you will have a sense of happiness，可知是，它决定了你是否会有幸福感。
故选：D。
6．（1分）_______ a GPS will make _______ easier for you to visit a strange place．（　　）
A．Take； it B．To take； that
C．Taking； it D．Take； that
【分析】带一个全球定位系统将使你更容易访问一个陌生的地方．
【解答】答案：C．
根据a GPS will make _______ easier for you to visit a strange place，可知带一个全球定位系统将使你更容易访问一个陌生的地方．这里a GPS 放在主语的位置，应该用动名词形式．所以用taking，后面make it+adj+for sb to do sth对某人来说做某事让它变的怎么样，这里it作形式宾语，后面的to引导的不定式短语作真正的宾语．故选C．
7．（1分）﹣﹣﹣ Are you sure _________ there will _________ during the coming National Day？
﹣﹣﹣ Yes，what a pity!We will have to stay in doors.（　　）
A．that；be rainy B．whether；have rain
C．that；be rain D．whether；be rain
【分析】—你确定即将到来的国庆节期间有雨吗？
—是的，真遗憾!我们将不得不待在家里。
【解答】分析句子可判断第一空缺宾语从句的引导词，whether表示"是否"，由它引导的从句的意思通常是不确定的；that 引导从句时，本身没有意义，在从句中不充当任何成分，但是由that引导的整个从句的意思通常是确定的。根据语境可知，国庆期间会有雨，所以第一空用that；固定句型there will be"某地将有......"，rain名词"雨"，there will be rain"将会有雨"。
故选：C。
8．（1分）﹣﹣﹣ It's clear that a common T﹣shirt looks better _________ a slim young girl than a middle﹣aged fat lady.
﹣﹣﹣ Oh，there is nothing wrong with age but they should spend more time _________ their weight.（　　）
A．in；managing B．on；to manage
C．on；managing D．in，to manage
【分析】﹣﹣﹣很明显，一件普通T恤穿在苗条的年轻女孩身上比穿在中年胖女人身上更好看。
﹣﹣﹣哦，年龄没有问题，但他们应该花更多的时间控制体重。
【解答】on表示穿在..身上，spend doing sth花费时间做某事，根据语境：﹣﹣﹣很明显，一件普通T恤穿在苗条的年轻女孩身上比穿在中年胖女人身上更好看。﹣﹣﹣哦，年龄没有问题，但他们应该花更多的时间控制体重。
故选：C。
9．（1分）Because of the COVID﹣19，some students have finished al the courses online and graduated from the western universities，but they have never _________ those universities for a day，even never _________ there once.（　　）
A．been in；been B．gone to；been
C．been in；gone D．been to；gone
【分析】由于新冠肺炎，一些学生在网上完成了所有课程并从西方大学毕业，但他们从未在这些大学待过一天，甚至从未去过一次。
【解答】结合句意可知，要用现在完成时，其结构为have/has +done；have/has gone to sp.已经去了某地（去而未归）；have/has been to sp.已经去过某地（去而复返）；have/has been in sp.待在某地。结合语境可知，第一空是"待在大学里"，第二空是"去过那儿"。
故选：A。

【解答】A.事实并非如此；B.完全正确；C.我同意；D.当然。根据句意，在地球上，眼泪可以让我们的眼睛感到舒服。在太空中，流泪会带来痛苦而不是安慰。可知，并不是这样的。
故选：A。

13．（6分）But ugly fruits should be loved，too.In recent years，a new crop of "ugly produce" companies have been around the U.S.These star﹣ups sell those ugly fruits that supermarkets refuse.And they send them right to your door.
The companies say they're on a mission（使命）.They want to stop billions of pounds of imperfect produce（农产品） from going to waste.Think of it this way：Is a banged﹣up （be knocked and some places broken） banana any less tasty in a peanut butter sandwich？Why should it be thrown away？
Sounds like these companies have the right idea.They even offer deep low prices.That's great news for customers.But not everyone is happy.Some people say these companies may be thinking only about themselves.
_________
Imperfect produce isn't always wasted.
Many small farmers had already been selling imperfect produce to customers and farmers markets.Then the ugly produce companies stared growing up.These companies.such as Imperfect Produce，can offer more fruits and veggies from large farms around the county.They make it harder for smaller farms to compete.So the farmers are losing money.
Also，ugly fruits and veggies already have uses：Take the food service industry for example.There，produce it sliced，diced，blended，and more.No one cares if the fruit is pretty or ugly.On farms，fruits can be fed to animals.Rotted （腐烂的） fruit is added back into soil for nutrients.And，what's more，ugly produce companies have been charged with taking food away from the needy.
Are these start﹣ups causing more bad than good？
Not So Bad，After All？
What do ugly produce companies say？They are guarding themselves.In March 2019，Imperfect Produce told people that the company doesn't take away from the needy.It gets resources from farms only after food banks take what they want，it said.Also，the company often gives food to food banks.Put that in your food basket!
It is true that produce goes to waste in America.The Department of Agriculture has said that food waste is a big problem.In fact，about 30 to 40 percent of the country's food is wasted.
But Imperfect Produce says both farmers and ugly produce companies can help reduce food waste.It doesn't have to be either﹣or.
No matter whose side you're on，remember this：It's what's on the inside that counts.

（1）What does Paragraph 3 mainly.talk about？ 　 　
A.Ugly produce companies are doing more good than bad.
B.Not everyone supports ugly produce companies' missions.
C.Ugly produce companies are loved because of lower prices.
D.Ugly produce companies make the most use of imperfect produce.
（2）What is the most suitable for the_________？ 　A　
A.The Ugly Truth？
B.Not So Good，Above All.
C.But So Bad，Really？
D.The ugly Wasted.
（3）The writer probably wrote the article in order to　C　 .
A.tell ugly produce companies to give unwanted fruits and vegetables to the needy
B.show the reasons why there are more and more ugly produce companies
C.offer readers an introduction to ugly produce companies and their missions
D.make readers only buy food from companies that work with smaller farms

（3）C.推理判断题。根据But ugly fruits should be loved，too.In recent years，a new crop of"ugly produce' companies have been around the U.S.These start﹣ups sell those ugly fruits that supermarkets refuse.And they send them right to your door.The companies say they're on a mission.They want to stop billions of pounds of imperfect produce from going to waste.可知，但是，丑陋的水果也应该受到人们的喜爱。近年来，美国各地出现了一批新的"丑陋的农产品"公司。这些初创公司出售超市拒绝出售的那些丑陋的水果，然后直接送到你家门口。这些公司说他们正在执行一项任务。他们想阻止数十亿磅的不完美产品被浪费掉。所以作者写这篇文章可能是为了向读者介绍丑陋的农产品公司及其使命。故选C。
14．（8分）Nature and culture are often seen as opposite ideas.What belongs to nature cannot be the result of human activities and on the other hand，cultural development is achieved against nature.However，this is not the only opinion on the relationship between nature and culture.Studies in the development of humans suggest that culture whether taken as an effort against nature or a natural effort，is part of the development of the human species（物种）.
Several modern writers saw the process of education as a struggle（斗争） against human nature.We are born with wild natures，such as eating and behaving in a disorganized way or acting selfishly.Education uses culture as a way to get us out of our widest natures；it is thanks to culture that the human species could learn to adapt（适应），progress and raise itself above and beyond other species.
Over the past century and a half，however，studies in the history of human development have shown that the formation of culture is part of the biological adaptation.Consider，for example，hunting（打猎） .It seems to be an adaptation，which allowed humans to move into new and different areas，opening up the opportunity to change living habits.At the same time，the development of weapons（武器） is related to that adaptation—from rocks and stones to a set of hunting tools，and from hunting tools to rules relating to the proper use of weapons.Hunting also seems to be responsible for a whole set of bodily abilities，such as balancing on one foot.Just think of how this very simple thing is closely related to dance，a key expression of human culture.It is then clear that biological development and cultural development are closely tied.
The transmission of culture seems to be directly related to what's in our blood.Just as snails carry their shell，so do we bring along our culture.However，culture is also passed on among people of the same times or among people belonging to different populations.We can learn how to make jiaozi even if we were born from Russian parents in Paris just as we can learn how to speak English even if none of our family or friends speaks that language.

（1）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？ 　D　
A.Culture belongs to human nature.
B.Nature teaches humans how to adapt.
C.Humans are supposed to be well organized.
D.Education pushes the human species to progress.
（2）Why does the writer talk about hunting in Paragraph3 　C　
A.To suggest some possible ways of changing living habits.
B.To stress the importance of tools in humans' struggle for life.
C.To show how culture develops as humans adapt to the environment.
D.To explain why there is a need to call for the proper use of weapons.
（3）The word "transmission" in Paragraph 4 probably means "　 　"
A.system
B.spread
C.start
D.spirit
（4）What is the writer's opinion on the nature﹣culture relationship？ 　C　
A.Culture and nature are separate yet balanced.
B.Culture depends much on nature to progress.
C.Nature and culture are different but connected.
D.Nature follows the unwritten rules set by culture.

【分析】本文是一篇议论文，自然和文化常常被视为对立的观点，但是人类发展的研究表明，文化，无论是作为一种反对自然的努力还是自然的努力，都是人类物种发展的一部分。生物的发展和文化的发展是紧密相连的，文化的传播似乎与我们血液中的东西直接相关。
【解答】（1）D.段落大意题。根据"Several modern writers saw the process of education as a struggle（斗争） against human nature."和"Education uses culture as a way to get us out of our widest natures"人们把教育的过程看作是一场与人性的斗争，教育把文化作为一种方式，让我们摆脱最广泛的天性。所以本段想说明教育推动人类进步。故选D。
（2）C.推理判断题。根据"Consider，for example，hunting（打猎） .It seems to be an adaptation，which allowed humans to move into new and different areas，opening up the opportunity to change living habits."打猎似乎是一种适应，使人类能够进入新的和不同的地区，打开改变生活习惯的机会。文章提到打猎是为了展示文化是如何随着人类适应环境而发展的。故选C。
（3）B.词义猜测题。分析"The transmission of culture seems to be directly related to what's in our blood.Just as snails carry their shells，so do we bring along our culture."文化的传播似乎与我们血液中的东西直接相关。就像蜗牛带着它们的壳一样，我们也带着我们的文化。所以此处transmission的意思是"传播"，故选B。
（4）C.观点态度题。根据"Studies in the development of humans suggest that culture，whether taken as an effort against nature or a natural effort，is part of the development of the human species（物种）."无论是作为一种反对自然的努力还是自然的努力，都是人类物种发展的一部分，作者认为自然和文化之间是对立且密切联系的。故选C。
五、任务型阅读
15．Scientists study the world and learn about how it works.As they study the world，scientists use a process（过程） called the scientific method.They ask important questions and search for answers.Sometimes they make amazing discoveries!There are times when a scientist is unable to answer his question.If he has taken good notes，another scientist may come along later use his notes to find the answer．Every year there is new knowledge.
The scientific method is a step﹣by﹣step process.You can use it to do an experiment（实验）.You start by making observations（观察）about something that interests you．Based on your observations，you make a hypothesis．A hypothesis is a smart guess you make by using what you know．You guess what you think could happen.Now you are ready to begin your experiment.
During your experiment，you should take notes.These notes are your experiment date（资料）．You repeatedly make observations during this time．You may discover things that make you change your experiment for the better.
Finally，you conclude your experiment.You begin to look over your notes.You decided what you find out in your experiment.You make a final report about whether or not your hypothesis is correct.You use reasons and evidence（证据） to support your discovery．
Using the scientific method can be challenging（有挑战性的）.However，it could be rewarding（值得的）．All the steps are organized in a process.When you provide observations and data as evidence to support your conclusion，your ideas are more likely to be accepted.

The scientific method
• The scientific method is useful to scientists when they study the world.
• If a scientist can't answer his question，a second scientist may make progress on the question，with the（1）　help　of the first scientist's notes.
Step 1
• Find something that you are （2）　interested　in and make observations.
• You make a hypothesis on what could happen，according to your observations.
Step 2
• You should keep a（3）　note　 of experiment data during your experiment.
