W:Well,it's a school day tomorrow. During Christmas, we have a much longer holiday, so people stay until 10:00,sometimes 11:00. Also,turkey dinners always make you a bit tired. Do you want to come to our Christmas dinner, too?
M:Definitely!

Katherine Johnson whose life was described in the movie Hidden Figures died on February 24, 2020, aged 101. The 2016 movie describes a real story of some female African-American mathematicians who joined the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and led a mission to put the first man on the moon in the 1950s when racial discrimination (种族歧视) was widespread.
“NASA is deeply saddened by the loss of a leader from our pioneering days,” said NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine on the webpage of NASA. “Ms. Johnson helped our nation push the boundaries of space and she also played an important role in opening doors for women and people of color to explore space. At NASA we will never forget her courage and leadership and the achievements we could not have reached without her.”
Johnson was born in West Virginia in 1918. She graduated from West Virginia State University with a major in mathematics and became a teacher at a public school. She was also the first African-American woman to attend graduate school in mathematics at West Virginia University until she left school to focus on raising children.
Her life changed in 1952 after a long career break. A relative told her about open positions at the all-black West Area Computing section at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics’s Langley laboratory, and she began to work for the aerospace (航空航天) industry at Langley the next year. NASA depended on humans for complicated aerospace calculation as there was no high-functioning electronic computer. Female mathematicians usually took the job as their salary was lower. Johnson was one of those African-American human computers.
Johnson was initially in charge of aerospace analysis and then a space development mission when NASA was launched in 1958. Then she worked for the 1961 suborbital (亚轨道的) flight of astronaut Alan Shepard. Johnson continued to participate in missions after she retired in 1986. Her hidden achievements were finally publicized when Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015 and her dramatic life was made into a movie.
24. What did Bridenstine’s words in the second paragraph mainly want to tell us?
A. To show NASA’s appreciation for Johnson’s leadership.
B. To express all Americans’ regret over Johnson’s death.
C. To show Johnson’s contributions to space exploration.
D. To emphasize NASA’s achievements in space exploration.
25. Why did NASA depend on humans for complex aerospace calculation?
A. It was cheaper to hire humans.
B. The computers at that time weren’t advanced enough.
C. It couldn’t afford to buy electronic computers.
D. Humans were more accurate than computers in calculation.
26. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Johnson worked for the aerospace industry for at least 33 years.
B. Johnson used to work in a private school.
C. Johnson starred in the movie Hidden Figures.
D. Johnson was the first woman to attend graduate school in the United States.
27. What is the author’s intention in writing this passage?
A. To promote Hidden Figures.
B. To highlight the greatness of women.
C. To tell readers achievements made by NASA.
D. To honor the great mathematician Katherine Johnson.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文，主要缅怀了一位名为Katherine Johnson的非裔美国女性数学家，对其在美国航空航天事业中做出的巨大贡献表达敬意。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““Ms. Johnson helped our nation push the boundaries of space and she also played an important role in opening doors for women and people of color to explore space. At NASA we will never forget her courage and leadership and the achievements we could not have reached without her.”(“约翰逊帮助我们国家打破了太空的界限，她还在为女性和有色人种打开探索太空的大门方面发挥了重要作用。在NASA，我们永远不会忘记她的勇气和领导力，以及没有她我们不可能取得的成就。”)”可知，Bridenstine的话是表明了Katherine Johnson在太空探索方面取得的巨大成就和贡献。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“NASA depended on humans for complicated aerospace calculation as there was no high-functioning electronic computer. (美国宇航局依靠人类进行复杂的航天计算，因为当时并没有功能强大的电子计算机。)”可知，NASA依靠人类进行复杂的航天计算是因为当时的计算机功能并不先进，无法进行复杂的计算。故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Her life changed in 1952 after a long career break. (在经历了漫长的职业休业后，她的生活在1952年发生了改变。)和“and she began to work for the aerospace (航空航天) industry at Langley the next year. (第二年，她开始在Langley的航空航天行业工作。)”和最后一段“Johnson continued to participate in missions after she retired in 1986. (约翰逊在1986年退休后继续参与任务)”可知，Katherine Johnson从1953年开始至1986年退休，至少 33年中为航空航天局工作。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Her hidden achievements were finally publicized when Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015 and her dramatic life was made into a movie. (2015年，贝拉克·奥巴马授予她总统自由勋章，她传奇般的人生被拍成电影，而且以前不为人知的成就终于被公开。)”可知，这篇文章主要是为了向伟大的数学家Katherine Johnson致敬。故选D项。
C
In a country known for high-tech ambitions and giant state-owned firms, the suffering of street hawkers (小贩) may seem insignificant. But in China these days, people like Shui Jin, an old lady riding a wooden cart filled with fruit, are in the spotlight.
Faced with rising unemployment, officials have concluded that pavement stands (货摊) can help solve the economy’s problems. Shui Jin, who used to face the danger of heavy fines, may sell her fruit with more confidence as she slowly makes her way through the narrow lanes of Suzhou. Her family needs the money. Both her daughters-in-law recently lost their jobs, among the tens of millions of people in China hurt by the COVID-19 outbreak.
The government’s support for street hawkers is something of an about-turn. For years the authorities pushed out hawkers, trying to tidy up the chaos that once characterized China’s cities. In the name of “civilizing” urban life, they wanted to see dumplings, plastic toys and T-shirts sold inside shopping malls, not from the back of carts. But on June 1st Premier Li Keqiang signalled a change. Stopping by a snack stand in the city of Yantai, he declared that street hawkers and small shops were vital to the economy. “Only when the people are in good shape can the nation be in good shape,” he said.
Mr. Li’s statement has produced a feeling of excitement about the revival (复苏) of China’s “street-stand economy”. At least 27 provinces and cities have announced that they will create markets for hawkers or, in some cases, let them move their things being sold onto the pavement in front of their shops. The shining example is Chengdu, where street stands were banned in the past but now hawkers have set up a number of stands since March. More than 100,000 jobs have been created in the process.
28. According to the passage, what used to happen to street hawkers in China?
A. Cleaning the street. B. Running a shop.
C. Being given heavy fines. D. Being in the spotlight.
29. Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “an about-turn” in paragraph 3?
A. an incident. B. a comfort.
C. an inspiration. D. a complete change.
30. What is the main idea of the text?
A. China’s street-stand economy has a long history.
B. China turns to once-banned hawkers to revive its economy.
C. China has high-tech ambitions and giant state-owned firms.
D. China is now faced with rising unemployment.
31. Which writing method is NOT used in the last paragraph?
A. Quoting the saying. B. Giving examples.
C. Making a comparison. D. Listing statistics.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。短文报道了如今的中国，面对新冠状病毒导致的不断上升的失业率，官方鼓励地摊经济以此帮助解决普通百姓的经济问题。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Shui Jin, who used to face the danger of heavy fines, may sell her fruit with more confidence as she slowly makes her way through the narrow lanes of Suzhou.（水金，曾经面临着高额罚款的危险，在苏州狭窄的小巷里慢慢地走着，她可能会更有信心地卖掉她的水果 。）”可知，中国的街头小贩过去会被处以高额罚款。故选C。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段的“For years the authorities pushed out hawkers, trying to tidy up the chaos that once characterized China’s cities. In the name of “civilizing” urban life, they wanted to see dumplings, plastic toys and T-shirts sold inside shopping malls, not from the back of carts. But on June 1st Premier Li Keqiang signalled a change. Stopping by a snack stand in the city of Yantai, he declared that street hawkers and small shops were vital to the economy.（多年来，当局一直在驱逐摊贩，试图清理一度成为中国城市特征的混乱局面。 在“文明”城市生活的名义下，他们希望看到饺子、塑料玩具和t恤在商场里出售，而不是在手推车后面出售。但6月1日，李克强总理发出了改变的信号。他在烟台市的一个小吃店停下脚步，宣布街头小贩和小商店对经济至关重要。）”可知，政府对街头小贩的支持有了彻底的转变。故划线短语意思为“彻底改变”，即a complete change，故选D。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“Faced with rising unemployment, officials have concluded that pavement stands (货摊) can help solve the economy’s problems.（面对不断上升的失业率，官员们得出结论，街头摊贩有助于解决经济问题。）”可知面对不断上升的失业率，官员们得出结论，人行道上的摊位可以帮助解决经济问题。结合文章主要说如今的中国，面对新冠状病毒导致的不断上升的失业率，官方鼓励地摊经济以此帮助解决普通百姓的经济问题。由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是中国转向曾经被禁止的小贩来振兴经济，即China turns to once-banned hawkers to revive its economy，故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“At least 27 provinces and cities（至少27个省市）”和“More than 100,000 jobs（10万多个）”可知，最后一段用了列统计数据的写作方法；由最后一段的“The shining example is Chengdu, where street stands were banned in the past but now hawkers have set up a number of stands since March.（成都是一个典型的例子，该市过去禁止摊贩，但自今年3月以来，摊贩们已经建立了一些摊贩。）”可知，最后一段用了举例和对比的方法，因此本段没有用到的方法是A选项“Quoting the saying（引用话）”，故选A。
D
Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It is an increasingly urgent question, given the recent mining accidents in Sago, W. Va and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.
Robotic technology, in particular, holds much promise, McAteer says, especially when it comes to mapping mines and rescuing trapped miners—the special operations of the mining industry.
One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business.
The latest design is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Groundhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and videos and has more sensors that can detect the presence of dangerous gases. Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logic. If it comes across an
obstacle (障碍) it gets momentarily confused. It has to think about what to do and where to go next. Sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person.
The greatest problem, though, is cost. The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government, but that money had dried up, and it’s not clear where future money will come from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990, fatalities (死亡) have declined by 67% and injuries by 51%, according to the National Mining Association.
Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robots do the most boring and dangerous jobs, but won’t get rid of the need for human workers.
32. Why is the latest robot more advanced than Groundhog?
A. It acts like a real person. B. It has more sensors.
C. It’s smaller than Groundhog. D. It has a real sense of logic.
33. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The mining robots will have a very promising future.
B. There will be no need for human workers in mines.
C. Robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry.
D. Robots in mines do some simple jobs now.
34. What can we learn from this passage?
A. The mining robots do most of the mining work at present.
B. Groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gases.
C. Experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous work.
D. This research project has been well funded by government.
35. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Mining Accidents in America
B. Cave crawler, the Latest Robot
C. Robots in Mines
D. The Future of Robots
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家们不断推陈出新，提升机器人性能，让它们在采矿业，发挥巨大功能，替代人们完成种种危险环境下的工作。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logic. (令人难以置信的是，这种机器人居然有真正的逻辑思考能力)”可知，比起Groundhog，最新研制的机器人更先进之处是它有逻辑思考能力。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. (一些专家预测，煤矿中的机器人将发挥与汽车行业相同的功能)”可知，采矿机器人未来的前途很光明。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business. (它使用激光在黑暗的隧道中“看到”，并绘制废弃矿井的地图，而这恰恰是行业中最危险的工作之一。)”可知，专家们正在通过不断研发更先进的机器人，替代采矿人员从事危险性很高的工作。故选C项。
【35题详解】
标题判断题。根据第一段“A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work. (一小组工程师和机器人专家期待着在不远的将来，机器人和其他技术可以完成大部分危险的采矿工作。) ”和最后一段“Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. (一些专家预测，煤矿中的机器人将发挥与汽车行业相同的功能)”可知，全文主要介绍日益先进的机器人如何在采矿业发挥巨大的作用，替代人类完成很多危险性很高的工作。故选C项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了三星堆遗址又有重大发现——发现黄金面具。
【详解】1.考查非谓语动词。句意：这个面具重约280克，估计由84% 的黄金制成，是三星堆新发现的六个“祭祀坑”出土的500多件物品之一。分析句子结构可知，“the mask is one of over 500 items unearthed from six newly discovered “sacrificial pits (祭祀坑)” in Sanxingdui.”是主句，“________ (weigh) about 280 grams and estimated to be made from 84% gold,”是非谓语动词做状语，且动词weigh(有......重；重达)的逻辑主语是主句主语the mask(面具)，且二者之间是主动关系，应用现在分词形式，单词位于句首，首字母大写，故填Weighing。
2.考查时态和语态。句意：自20世纪20年代以来，在三星堆发现了5万多件文物，当时是一位当地农民偶然发现了一些文物。分析句子结构可知，此处做谓语，根据时间标志词“since the 1920s”(自从20世纪20年代以来)可知， 此处应该用现在完成时，且主语是More than 50,000 ancient artifacts(5万多件文物)，是复数，主语与动词find二者之间是被动关系，所以应用现在完成时的被动，即have been found，故填have been found。
3.考查副词。句意：自20世纪20年代以来，在三星堆发现了5万多件文物，当时是一位当地农民偶然发现了一些文物。由空后的动词短语came upon(偶然遇到；碰到)可知，此处用副词修饰，故填accidently。
4.考查时态。句意：1986年有一个重大突破，那就是发现了两个仪式坑，里面有超过1000件物品。分析句子结构可知，此处做谓语，且句子描述的是过去的事，应用一般过去时，且occur(发生)是不及物动词，无被动形式，故填occurred。
5.考查介词。句意：这个遗址的发现可以追溯到公元前12和11世纪，许多物品现在在一个现场博物馆展出。On display是固定搭配，表示“展出”，故填on。
6.考查宾语从句连接词。句意：这个遗址完全改变了专家们对中国古代文明发展理解。分析句子结构可知，句子“_____the ancient civilization developed in China.”放在介词of后面，是宾语从句，且从句中缺少状语，表示方式，应用how，故填how。
7.考查名词。句意：特别是，有证据表明，独特的古蜀社会独立于相邻的文化在黄河流域发展，这在传统上被认为是中国文明的起源。此处是做主语，应用名词evidence，表示“证据”，且由后面的谓语动词suggests(表明)可知，主语是单数，故填evidence。
8.考查定语从句关系词。句意：特别是，有证据表明，独特的古蜀社会独立于相邻的文化在黄河流域发展，这在传统上被认为是中国文明的起源。分析句子结构可知，“____was traditionally considered to be the origin of Chinese civilization.”是非限定性定语从句，先行词是the Yellow River Valley(黄河流域)，指物，且定语从句中缺少主语，应用which，故填which。
9.考查可数名词单复数。句意：与其他蜀文化遗址一样，它被联合国誉为“中国、东亚乃至世界青铜时代文明的杰出代表”。由前面的with可知，此处做宾语，应用名词形式，且此处是泛指，所以应用site的复数形式，故填sites。
10.考查不定冠词。句意：与其他蜀文化遗址一样，它被联合国誉为“中国、东亚乃至世界青铜时代文明的杰出代表”。由句意可知，此处表示“一个杰出的代表”，representative(代表)是可数名词，且outstanding(杰出的)读音是以元音因素开头，应用an，故填an。

Last Saturday I went skated on a lake with my best friend, Lily. We were having good time on the ice while I suddenly heard a scream “Help”. I turn around immediately and was surprised to see a boy falling into an ice hole. There was no doubt that the boy’s life was in great dangers. However, neither of them could swim, so we ran to ask for help as soon as possibly. A few minutes late, a policeman came and pulled the boy out of the water. The boy thanked to us again and again for saving his life. We were pleased for giving him a helping hand. How an unusual experience it was!
【答案】1. skated→skating 2. good前加a 3. while→when 4. turn→turned 5. dangers→danger 6. them→us 7. possibly→possible 8. late→later 9. 删除to 10. How→What
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了上周六作者和最好的朋友去滑冰，在滑冰时，突然看到一个小男孩掉进了冰窟窿里，但是作者和好朋友都不会游泳，于是跑去喊别人来帮忙。不一会，警察来了，将男孩从水中拉上来，男孩得救了，他很感谢警察，作者和朋友救了他，作者和朋友为此也感到很高兴。
【详解】1.考查固定搭配。句意：上周六，我和我最好的朋友Lily去湖上滑冰。固定搭配go skating表示“去滑冰”，故将skated改为skating。
2.考查冠词。句意：我们在冰上玩得很开心，突然我听到一声“救命”尖叫。Have a good time是固定搭配，表示“玩得开心”，故在good前加a。
3.考查固定句型。句意：我们在冰上玩得很开心，突然我听到一声“救命”的尖叫。Be doing...when是固定句型，表示“正在做某事，此时”，故将while改为when。
4.考查时态。句意：我马上转过身来，惊讶地发现一个男孩掉进了冰洞。根据全文可知，整件事是发生在上周六，描述过去的事，应用一般过去时，故将turn改为turned。
5.考查固定搭配。句意：我马上转过身来，惊讶地发现一个男孩掉进了冰洞。In danger是固定搭配，表示“处在危险之中”，故将dangers改为danger。
6.考查代词。句意：然而，我们两个都不会游泳，所以我们尽快跑去寻求帮助。根据句意可知，此处表示“我们俩”，放在介词of后面，应用we(我们)的宾格形式，故填us。
7.考查形容词。句意：然而，我们两个都不会游泳，所以我们尽快跑去寻求帮助。根据句意可知，此处表示“尽快”，as soon as possible是固定搭配，表示“尽快”，故将possibly改为possible。
8.考查副词。句意：几分钟后，一个警察来了，把那个男孩从水里拉了上来。Late表示“晚”，此处表示“几分钟之后”，应用later，表示“之后”，故将late改为later。
9.考查动词。句意：男孩一次又一次地感谢我们救了他的命。Thank为及物动词，后面直接接宾语，表示“感谢某人”，用thank sb.，故删除to。
10.考查感叹句。句意：多么不寻常的一次经历呀！该句子是感叹句，由后面的“an unusual experience”(不寻常的一次经历)可知，此处强调的是名词，应用感叹词what来修饰，而how修饰形容词或副词，单词位于句首，首字母大写，故将How改为What。
