At first,we think about human relationship. In the year 2050,we will use computers almost every day. We will make new friends through the Internet — even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand,our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely. Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example,they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition,there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers,like robots which will do the housework for us. Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will,of course,change,too. We will use solar-powered cars,which will be much cleaner. We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And,scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases,like cancer or AIDS. Therefore,our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition. Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world,we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations,hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather hopeful about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen. 【语篇概述】文章畅想了2050年的生活会是什么样的,设想了从日常生活到科技发展的变化。21. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?A. Because the number of people will become much smaller. B. Because there will be less face-to-face communication. C. Because people won’t like making friends with each other. D. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often. 【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知,在2050年,人们主要通过电脑进行交流,而很少进行面对面交流,人与人之间的关系也就淡薄了,因此那时的人们会感到有点儿孤独。故选B。22. The third paragraph mainly tells us_______.  A. computers will do all the things for human beingsB. how people will use computers to communicate with each otherC. machines like computers and robots will help people a lotD. how people will use robots to do the housework【解析】选C。段落大意题。根据第三段可知,计算机和机器人等会给人类很大的帮助。故选C。23. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How people will communicate in the year 2050. B. What our life will be like in the year 2050. C. How people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050. D. What high technology will appear in the year 2050. 【解析】选B。主旨大意题。根据文章第一句“We don’t know how different our life will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it. ”及全文内容可知,文章畅想了2050年的生活会是什么样的。故选B。B　　When you hear the word “recycling”,what comes to your mind? The color green or global warming?　　What if I were to tell you there is a dark side of recycling? A type of recycling that does more harm than good. The dark side of recycling has nothing to do with the environment but rather has a lot to do with the recycling of ideas. 　　Environmental unrest isn’t the only trouble we must face. Idea pollution is quickly becoming widespread across the online world. 　　Think about it. When was the last time you read an original blog post? I’m guessing it has been quite a while. Why do you think top bloggers (博主) of today win so much respect? Do you think they recycle their ideas? With each recycled idea,the online world becomes much more polluted. Used content contributes to the ever-increasing mass of digital smog (烟雾). 　　The first step to reduce pollution is simple: stop recycling. When you stop recycling,you will then be forced to take up the task of creating your own ideas. When you recycle an excellent idea,it soon becomes good. When you recycle a good idea,it soon becomes just OK. The chain continues until the key part of what used to make the idea good is saturated (饱和的) ,leaving you nothing but a pile of mess. 　　In order not to pollute,your ideas must go beyond “just recycled”. Your ideas must stand out from the pollution of the Web. For your voice and talent to be heard and seen,you must go far beyond the standard copy of your neighbours’ ideas. 　　For the next step,make a promise not to recycle. Let your ideas flourish and flow. Believe in your ability to create,because the death of recycling starts with you. 【语篇概述】很多人都会把循环和环保结合在一起,认为循环是有利的。但是作者认为,网络上的思维循环,显然有很多弊端。24. Which is TRUE about top bloggers of today according to the writer?A. They don’t recycle their ideas. B. They tend to express many fresh ideas. C. They are not worth much respect. D. They make good use of others’ ideas. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容可知,C项不正确。25. The 5th paragraph mainly talks about_______.  A. the bad effects of recycling ideasB. the good effects of stopping recyclingC. how to stop recycling ideasD. how to recycle good ideas online【解析】选A。段落大意题。文章第五段讲述了思维循环的负面影响。26. This passage is written mainly for _______.  A. top bloggers　　　　　　 B. common bloggersC. environment polluters D. Net researchers【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,文章主要是写给普通的博主的。27. The main purpose of this passage is_______.  A. to remind people to pay attention to environmental protectionB. to prove that the Web environment is becoming worse and worseC. to warn people not to pollute our Web environment with bad wordsD. to call on people to write online more creatively instead of repeating【解析】选D。主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,作者希望更多的博主能够专注创造,而不是循环利用他人的想法。C　　Coca-Cola,which reportedly produced more than 3 million tons of plastic packaging in 2017,announced Thursday it wants to “help fix the world’s plastic waste problem one community (社区) at a time. ”The soda giant is doing so by providing $ 5. 4 million for recycling programs in cities like Atlanta,Boston,Denver and Houston. In these cities,partners,like The Green Blue Institute and The Recycling Partnership,which receive the money,will work together to improve recycling rates. “We focus on areas where we have the ability to make the biggest influence on communities through the funding and expert skills of Coca-Cola employees,” Carlos Pagoagoa,Coca-Cola’s group director of community partnerships,said in a statement. “In each city,local partners will work together to identify barriers to recycling on a local level and test a range of solutions,” he added. “We hope the learnings from these ‘model markets’ can offer solutions to other cities facing similar challenges. ”As part of the effort,The Recycling Partnership and the city of Atlanta,where the cola company’s headquarters are based,will send street teams out to open recycling carts and leave citizens cards informing them what they can and can’t recycle,and let them know how their efforts work. “Two of the most urgent problems with recycling in the U. S. today are lack of access,followed by pollution in recycling,” Keefe Harrison,CEO of The Recycling Partnership,said in a statement. “We know from the success of Atlanta in 2017 that the citizens want to recycle,and that communicating with them in the street works. ”Last year,Coca-Cola announced its task to collect and reuse a bottle or can for each one it sells,and increase the amount of its products out of recycled materials to 50% by 2030. The brand also aims to make all its packaging fully recyclable by 2025. 【语篇概述】本文是一篇环保类短文阅读。文章主要讲述可口可乐公司将提高产品包装材料的回收率,直至其所有包装完全可回收。28. What does Coca-Cola company intend to do in the program?A. Produce less packaging. B. Help deal with plastic waste. C. Pick up waste in communities. D. Build a plant to recycle plastic waste. 【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据文章第一段Coca-Cola,which reportedly produced more than 3 million tons of plastic packaging in 2017,announced Thursday it wants to “help fix the world’s plastic waste problem one community at a time. ”可知,可口可乐公司宣布,计划帮助一个社区解决全球塑料垃圾问题。故选B。29. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. How Coca-Cola conducts its program. B. What organizations participate in the program. C. How Coca-Cola chooses cities for the program. D. What the local people do in Coca-Cola’s program. 【解析】选A。段落大意题。根据文章第二段The soda giant is doing so by providing $ 5. 4 million for recycling programs in cities like Atlanta,Boston,Denver and Houston. In these cities,partners,like The Green Blue Institute and The Recycling Partnership,which receive the money,will work together to improve recycling rates. 可口可乐公司为亚特兰大、波士顿、丹佛和休斯顿等城市的回收项目提供资金,并与合作伙伴共同努力来提高回收率,从而可知,本段主要讲述可口可乐是如何执行其计划的。故选A。30. What do street teams do to help?A. Sort out various waste in the city. B. Look into the cause of pollution. C. Instruct local people what to recycle. D. Hand cards to the locals in person. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据文章第四段As part of the effort,The Recycling Partnership and the city of Atlanta,where the cola company’s headquarters are based,will send street teams out to open recycling carts and leave citizens cards informing them what they can and can’t recycle,and let them know how their efforts work. 街头团队,给市民留下卡片,告诉他们什么可以回收,什么不能回收,可知,街头团队指导当地居民如何回收利用。故选C。31. What does Keefe Harrison think of the program?A. Promising. 　　　　　　 B. Difficult. C. Pioneering. D. Costly. 【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据文章第五段“We know from the success of Atlanta in 2017 that the citizens want to recycle,and that communicating with them in the street works. ” 市民们想要回收垃圾,在街上与他们交流是有效的,可以推断出,Keefe Harrison认为此项目是有希望的。故选A。D　　When I was young,my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood. I remember the shiny box on the wall. But I was too little to reach it,I could only listen to my mother talk on it. I discovered that inside the wonderful box lived an amazing person whose name was Information Please. There was nothing she did not know. One day my mother went out. I accidentally hurt my finger when I was playing with a hammer. I walked around the house sucking my hurting finger,finally seeing the telephone. Quickly I dragged(拖,拽) a chair over and climbed up. “Information Please,” I spoke into the receiver. A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear,“Information. ”“I hurt my finger. . . ” I cried into the phone. “Isn’t your mother home?” came the question. “Nobody’s home but me,” I sobbed(啜泣). “Are you bleeding?” the voice asked. “No,” I replied. “I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts. ”“Can you open your icebox?” she asked. I said I could. “Then take a little piece of ice and hold it to your finger,” said the voice. After that,I called “Information Please” for everything. I asked her for help with my geography and she told me where Philadelphia was. She helped me with my math. She told me her name was Sally. Then there was the time my pet canary(金丝雀) died. I called “Information Please” and told Sally the sad story. “Why is it that birds sing so beautifully and bring joy to all families,only to end up as a pile of feathers?” She listened,and then said quietly,“Paul,always remember that there are other worlds to sing in. ” Somehow,I felt better. One day when I called “Information Please” again,a different voice answered “Information. ”I asked for Sally. “Are you a friend?” she said. “Yes. ” I answered. “I’m sorry to have to tell you this,” she said. “She died five days ago. ” Before I could hang up she said,“Wait a minute. Did you say your name was Paul?”“Yes!”“Well,Sally left a message for you. The note said,‘Tell him I still say there are other worlds to sing in. He’ll know what I mean. ’” I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant. 【语篇解读】本文讲述了电话接线员Sally和“我”之间的深厚友谊。在“我”无助的时候,“我”总是向她求助,她帮助了“我”很多。甚至在她去世以后,仍然不忘给“我”留言安慰“我”不要太难过。32. When the author hurt his finger,he rang because_______.  A. he believed that the telephone knew everythingB. the telephone could tell him a doctor’s numberC. his mother was on the other end of the telephoneD. he was once told to ask for help in this way【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据文章第二段“I discovered that inside the wonderful box lived an amazing person whose name was Information Please. There was nothing she did not know. ”可知作者发现在盒子里有一个名叫 Information Please的人,她似乎什么事情都知道。所以在“我”受伤以后,“我”才会想起去打电话向其求助。 33. Through the help from Sally,it can be inferred that_______.  A. Sally was a geography teacherB. Sally was the author’s friendC. Sally was a considerate personD. Sally was an imaginary person【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第六段以及后面他们之间的对话内容可知Sally很耐心地指导“我”如何处理自己的伤口。说明她是一个很体贴细致的人。A、B、D三项从文章中都找不到证据。 34. What did Sally really mean by her message?A. She was sure that she could sing in other worlds. B. She didn’t want Paul to be sad about her death. C. Singing helped Paul to face death more easily. D. There was no need for Paul to call her anymore. 【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据“She listened,and then said quietly,‘Paul,always remember that there are other worlds to sing in. ’ Somehow I felt better. ”这是当“我”的金丝雀死掉的时候Sally安慰“我”的话。金丝雀到另外的世界去唱歌了。后来她给“我”的留言中也使用了这句话,同样也是在安慰“我”,不希望“我”太难受。 35. What is the best title for this passage?A. My Pet’s DeathB. An Amazing WomanC. A Healing MessageD. My Magic Box【解析】选D。主旨大意题。家里的电话一直挂在墙上的盒子里,有一次,“我”手指受伤打电话求助。从此“我”就和Sally结下了友谊。直至她去世,她给了“我”很多帮助和安慰。D项“My Magic Box”与文章第一段的“I remember the shiny box on the wall. ”相联系。而且很醒目,能吸引读者。A、B、C三项与文章内容并没有太大的关系。第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)　　阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Do Man-on-the-Street InterviewsThe man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot (现场). 　36　But with these tips,your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.  ● When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story,think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example,if your topic is about environmental problems in America,you might ask,“Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?”　37　 ● Hit the streets with confidence. 　38　Say,“Excuse me,I work for XYZ News,and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic. ” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.  ● Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Don’t get discouraged. ●　39　Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need,move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview,you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer,you won’t be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct (实现) is about six to ten. 　40　 ● If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air,don’t leave work without them. A. Limit your time. B. As you approach people,be polite. C. If you don’t own a camera,you can buy one. D. For new reporters,this can seem like a challenging(挑战的)task. E. To get good and useful results,ask them the same question. F. That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need. G. With a question like this,you will get more than a “Yes” or “No” reply. 答案: 36～40.

The researchers noted that the effect of pollution 65. __________language ability is even more serious as people age,especially among men and the less educated.  56. 【解析】polluted。考查非谓语动词。句意: 即使污染的空气不会致我们于死地,但是也会让我们生病。修饰名词用形容词,pollute与air为动宾关系,故用过去分词形式,故填polluted。57. 【解析】Wearing。考查非谓语动词。句意: 当沙尘暴侵袭北京的时候,人们带着面罩,穿行在繁忙的交通之间。分析句子可知,本部分为非谓语动词作状语,wear与其逻辑主语people为主谓关系,故用现在分词形式,句首首字母需大写。故填Wearing。58. 【解析】frequently。考查副词。句意: 但是,经常吸入污染空气不仅对身体有害,还会影响大脑和思考能力。由句子结构可知,此处需用副词修饰动词作状语。故填frequently。59. 【解析】which。考查定语从句。句意: 但是,经常吸入污染空气不仅对身体有害,还会影响大脑和思考能力。分析句子可知,can also affect your brain and your ability to think为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词 breathing in dirty air,从句缺乏主语,故用关系代词which。故填which。60. 【解析】intelligence。考查名词。句意: 一项新研究表明空气污染也会造成我们智力的下降。由于有our修饰,所以空处需用名词intelligence。故填intelligence。61. 【解析】areas。考查名词复数。长期受空气污染的影响,会对智力的两个方面造成影响: 语言和数学,two后接可数名词复数,area作“方面”讲为可数名词。故填areas。62. 【解析】were given。考查动词时态和语态。句意: 在2010年至2014年间,对中国男性、女性和儿童做了语言和数学测试。分析句子可知,本句缺少谓语,give与主语为动宾关系,故用被动语态,陈述过去的行为,故用一般过去时的被动语态: was/were done,此处主语是复数,所以be动词用were。故填were given。63. 【解析】the。考查定冠词。句意: 研究人员发现吸入污染的空气,会让一个人的受教育程度降低一年左右。分析句子可知, which has been polluted为定语从句修饰先行词air,故air特指受到污染的空气,所以此处需用定冠词the。故填the。64. 【解析】worse。考查比较级。这个影响对年老的人以及受教育程度低的人更大。分析句子以及even可知,本句讲述空气污染对特殊人群的影响更大,所以需用比较级worse。故填worse。65. 【解析】on/upon。考查介词。研究人员同时指出,空气污染对语言能力的影响随着年龄的增长而更大。分析句子可知,effect on/upon. . . 对……影响,为固定搭配,符合题意,所以此处需用介词on或者upon。故填on/upon。第四部分　写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节(满分15分)假定你是李华,你收到外国朋友Peter的邮件,他想了解你校在新冠肺炎疫情(COVID-19 epidemic)期间线上教学的情况。请你给他回复邮件,内容包括: 1. 课程与时间; 2. 你的学习状态;　 3. 你的期待。注意: 1. 词数80个左右;2. 可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。 Dear Peter,I’m so glad to hear from you and know about what you are doing these days.  ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________　　Best wishes,Yours,Li Hua【参考范文】Dear Peter,I’m so glad to hear from you and know about what you are doing these days. I’m writing to tell you how our schooling is now going on. Actually, we are having e-learning at home, studying in the “classroom in the air” all the academic and non-academic subjects. The holiday schedule runs from 8: 00 am till 4: 30 pm on weekdays, with more and longer breaks for rest than usual. Personally, I’ve got used to online learning, which I think is a creative form of schooling, and also our own way to fight the COVID-19 epidemic. We’ve come to realize how important computers and mobile phones have become to us! But I really miss the days with my friends and teachers on campus. That’s why I pray for the end of the epidemic every day, and I believe it’ll soon come. Best wishes,Yours,Li Hua第二节(满分25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David,Mother May and elder brother Rob. The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature. The village was at the foot of a mountain,with beautiful views of the snowy mountain. The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees. Their life is totally surrounded by nature and beauty. While they lived a very happy life,Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop,move around the city,watch movies,and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes,etc. However,there was hardly any chance that Carol’s family moved to the city as they had everything in the village. One day,Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course,she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired. Grandmother understood the desire of Carol,but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life. She told Carol,“Baby,you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city?”Without hearing the concerns,Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Grandmother granted her wish,but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later,she would return to the village. Carol agreed. 　　Carol then found herself in the city with her friends. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________　　Carol’s brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【参考范文】Carol then found herself in the city with her friends. Carol and her friends went to watch movies. After that they ate delicious food in a restaurant and shopped in a huge mall. Carol was happy that she had the chance to experience the life in the city. Yet at the same time,she understood that everything told by her grandmother was true in the city. There was no peace and no silence; the city life was fast and rushing. The air quality is not satisfying. She could hardly find any animal or even a tree. 　　Carol’s brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up. She recalled what happened just now in her dream and realized that her life in the village with her family was far more wonderful than the city life. Carol understood that she was having a more joyful life. She shared her dream with her family while enjoying the fresh fruits and vegetables,and they laughed together. Carol also developed love for plants,animals and beautiful nature.
