M: Oh, yes. I started at nursery school when I was four, and when I turned seven, I went on to junior school. I left when I was eight, and my mother’s been teaching me at home ever since. I do a lot of projects on particular topics.
W: What do you think is the hardest part of doing projects?
M: Mm, deciding topics isn’t too difficult. Then I have to search for material by using the Internet, interviewing people or doing experiments. After that, I have to write a report and I find that quite hard.
W: What subjects do you study?
M: Well, there’s history — I’m not keen on that. And I know English is necessary, but I don ’t look forward to the lessons. Um, I didn’t like biology at first, but after a while I really took to it.
W: And what about when you finish your education?
M: I used to want to be a tennis player, but now I’ll just go on playing for pleasure. I might go into film-making — I’d like to do something creative. It doesn’t appeal to me to be a teacher like my mother. One in the family is enough!

【原文】Today on the food program, I’m going to tell you about two interesting websites which give you information about two very important foods — rice and noodles. First of all, let’s look at the Pagewise website. This site will tell you about the history of rice, the different types of rice and how to cook it. For example, European and American rice is grown in dry fields. But it absorbs more water than Asian rice, which is grown in flooded fields. Nowadays, more than 550 million tonnes is produced around the world each year, 92% of that being produced in Asia. Now, moving on to the Yokohama Noodle Museum site. The museum stays open later than most museums — from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm, with the last admission being 10:00 pm. The museum is open every day except for Tuesday, with Sunday being the busiest day and Thursday being the least busy. The first floor of the museum has a souvenir shop. It sells bowls for eating noodles out of, equipment for making noodles — even curtains with pictures of noodles on them! You can see a display showing how noodles are made. On B1F and B2F, there are different noodle shops, which take orders until 30 minutes before closing time.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Rachel Kunhner, the author of Telex from Cuba, The Mars Room, and The Flamethrowers, has got some excellent books for you.
Agortino by Alberto Moravla (1944).
When my son turned 13, my mother said to me, “You have to read Agostino.” Agosino is a perfect novella and perhaps the best literate ever written about being a 13-year-old boy. It’s painful and tender and funny. A masterpiece.
The Copenhagen Trilogy by Tove Ditlevsen(1967—71).
Ditlevsen was a 20th-century Danish writer. Her trilogy of short memoirs, Childhood, Youth, and Dependency, is becoming the subject of a literary craze. As 8oon as you sink your teeth in, you’ll understand why. The books are fascinating. The problem is they bite back. I’m still recovering.
Star by Yukio Mishima (1960).
There are a lot of Mishima novels that haven’t been translated into English. This novella about a movie star losing touch with reality only recently was. “A true star, ” Mishima writes, “never arrives. Showing up is for second-rate actor who need to seek attention. ” Want to seem glamorous? Stay home. Attending things is for the second-rate.
The Expendable Man by Dorothy B. Hughes (1963).
Donna Tart once recommended Hughes to me. I’m so glad she did. While Hughes’ most famous book, deservedly 80, is In a Lonely Place. The Expendable Man has one of the best opening sequences of any mystery novel: A man driving from L. A. to Phoenix picks up a hitchhiker—a dirty and ungraceful teenage girl—with grave consequences.
21. Which book may appeal to readers crazy about mystery-solving stories?
A. Star. B. The Expendable Man. C. The Copenhagen Theology. D. Agostino.
22. What do we know about these books?
A. There has been no English version of the book Star up to now.
B. The Copenhagen Trilogy describes the author’s whole life.
C. All these books are recommended to Rachel Kuchner by others.
D. Agostino is a good choice for parents of teenagers.
23. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A column. B. A guidebook C. An announcement. D. A textbook
【答案】21. B 22. D 23. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四本书籍的情况。

B
I’m rather good at using maps. But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of vacation, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon. No other car in sight, and the sun had just gone down. Where was that sweet little village?
It was supposed to be right along this river. We drove on, farther into the unknown, river always at left as our guide. We kept passing farms and fields and now a few lights were coming out. In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticisms: Why didn't we start earlier, bring the map and on and on? My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed. My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, text messaging a friend. I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think.
Just then－WOW! Amazing! A new scene had appeared. Where did it come from?
Right there, out of nowhere: a magical misty landscape. Fields stretched in silent purples, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk (黄昏). I turned the car engine off. All was silent in the hot summer air. Beside us, a plum-colored river hardly moved between a border of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day.
How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all.
We miss a lot, almost everything, in fact, in our world. Our task-focused filters (过滤器) take care of that, selecting only what we need. We need to get to work. Have some lunch. We see what we need to see, often for purposes of survival. Gregory Bateson, speaking of beauty, said the judgment is selection of a fact. In our daily lives, who or what is doing the selecting? Can we make a change? Can we see further?
24. Which of the following might be the destination of the author’s driving?
A. Her own home. B. A vacation spot. C. A tourist centre. D. Her cousin’s farm.
25. What made the author keep blaming herself in the beginning?
A. That the vacation was below her expectations.
B. That she wasn’t as good at using maps as before.
C. That her cousin and daughter couldn’t get along.
D. That lack of full preparations got her to lose her way.
26. The author felt really amazed because ___________.
A. her carelessness brought an unexpected pleasure
B. she discovered a tourist spot unknown to the public
C. she unintentionally reached what she had planned to
D. the right route to her destination came out of nowhere
27 What does the story intend to tell us?
A. Stay coo when you are trapped in trouble.
B. Make a change for the purpose of survival.
C. Slow down your paces to enjoy beauty in life.
D. Be positive because there's always an alternative.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者由于粗心没有做好充分准备导致度假返程迷路，在这时候作者她们遇到了令人惊奇的美丽风景，粗心给她们带来了意想不到的快乐。作者由此感悟，我们在生活中不仅仅是要为了生存去完成生活中的各种任务，还应当放慢脚步，来欣赏生活中的美。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I’m rather good at using maps. But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of vacation, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon. (我很擅长使用地图。但我忘了带地图，于是我们就在这里，在假期的最后一天，下午晚些时候，我女儿、我表妹和我，沿着俄勒冈州的一条双车道公路行驶)”可知这是作者她们假期的最后一天，由此可推知，此时她们在返程，所以作者的目的地是她自己的家，故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticisms: Why didn’t we start earlier, bring the map and on and on? (在我的脑海中，我做了很多自我批评：为什么我们不早点出发，带着地图等等?)”可知，作者自责的事情是没有为旅行做好充分的准备，这导致了她们迷路，故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Just then－WOW! Amazing! A new scene had appeared. Where did it come from? (哇!神奇!出现了一个新的风景。它是从哪里来的?)”可知，作者由于粗心没有做好充分准备导致迷路，在这时候作者她们遇到了令人惊奇的美丽风景，粗心给她们带来了意想不到的快乐。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者由于粗心没有做好充分准备导致迷路，这使得她们遇到了令人惊奇的美丽风景，粗心给她们带来了意想不到的快乐。结合倒数第二段“How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all.(多么激动人心啊!它到哪里去了?如果我在开车的时候看到一点点这样的美景，我就会停下来看一看。我错过了这一切)”可知，作者此时感悟，我们应当放慢脚步来欣赏沿途的风景，结合最后一段提到，我们在生活中所做的事情大多是为了生存，而错过了很多生活中的美好，由此可知，本文想告诉我们：放慢脚步，去欣赏生活中的美。故选C。
C
On a September afternoon in 1940, four teenage boys made their way through the woods on a hill overlooking Montignac in southwestern France. They had come to explore a dark, deep hole said to be an underground passage to the nearby manor（庄园）of Lascaux. Squeezing through the entrance one by one, they soon saw wonderfully lifelike paintings of running horses, swimming deer, wounded wild oxen, and other beings—works of art that may be up to 20,000 years old.
The collection of paintings in Lascaux is among some 150 prehistoric sites dating from the Paleolithic period（旧石器时代）that have been documented in France's Vezere Valley. This corner of southwestern Europe seems to have been a hot spot for figurative art. The biggest discovery since Lascaux occurred in December 1994, when three cave explorers laid eyes on artworks that had not been seen since a rockslide 22,000 years ago closed off a large deep cave in southern France. Here, by unsteadily shining firelight, prehistoric artists drew outlines of cave lions, herds of rhinos（犀牛）and magnificent wild oxen, horses, cave bears. In all, the artists drew 442 animals over perhaps thousands of years, using nearly 400,000 square feet of cave surface as their canvas（画布）. The site, now known as Chauvet-Pont-1'Arc Cave, is sometimes considered the Sistine Chapel of prehistory.
For decades scholars had theorized that art had advanced in slow stages from ancient scratchings to lively, naturalistic interpretation. Surely the delicate shading and elegant lines of Chauvet's masterworks placed them at the top of that progression. Then carbon dates came in, and prehistorians felt shocked. At some 36,000 years old—nearly twice as old as those in Lascaux—Chauvet's images represented not the peak of prehistoric art but its earliest known beginnings.
The search for the world's oldest cave paintings continues. On the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, for example, scientists found a large room of paintings of part-human, part-animal beings that are estimated to be 44,000 years old, older than any figurative art seen in Europe.
Scholars don't know if art was invented many times over or if it was a skill developed early in our evolution. What we do know is that artistic expression runs deep in our ancestry.
28. According to the passage, where did the boys find the paintings?
A. In the woods on a hill B. In a deep cave in France.
C. In a manor of Lascaux. D. On an Indonesian island
29. According to the passage, figurative art in paragraph 2 is a form of art that_____________.
A. conveys concepts by using accurate numbers and forms
B. makes stories in contrast to scientific subjects
C. represents persons or things in a realistic way
D. expresses ideas or feelings by using shapes and patterns
30. It can be inferred from the passage that_____________.
A. the Chauvet's paintings had been sealed by a rockslide until 1994
B. the style of Chauvet's paintings is similar to that of the Sistine Chapel
C. Chauvet's images are the earliest figurative paintings that have been found
D. the main objects of Chauvet's images are part-human, part-animal beings
31. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Value of Paleolithic Artwork B. Preservation of Figurative Art
C. Artistic Expressions of Nature D. Searches for Cave Paintings
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了洞穴壁画的发现和研究。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“ They had come to explore a dark, deep hole said to be an underground passage to the nearby manor（庄园）of Lascaux. Squeezing through the entrance one by one, they soon saw wonderfully lifelike paintings of running horses, swimming deer, wounded wild oxen, and other beings—works of art that may be up to 20,000 years old.”（他们是来探索一个又黑又深的洞的，据说这是通往附近拉斯科庄园的地下通道。他们一个接一个地从入口处挤进去，很快就看到了栩栩如生的绘画，有奔跑的马、游泳的鹿、受伤的野牛，以及其他生灵，这些艺术品可能已有两万多年的历史了。）可知男孩们在法国一个很深的洞穴里发现了这些画。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“ Here, by unsteadily shining firelight, prehistoric artists drew outlines of cave lions, herds of rhinos（犀牛）and magnificent wild oxen, horses, cave bears. In all, the artists drew 442 animals over perhaps thousands of years, using nearly 400,000 square feet of cave surface as their canvas（画布）”（在这里，史前艺术家们用摇曳的火光勾勒出洞穴狮子、成群的犀牛、壮丽的野牛、马和洞穴熊的轮廓。总共，艺术家们用近40万平方英尺的洞穴表面作为画布，在大约数千年的时间里画了442只动物）可知 figurative art是一种通过使用形状和图案来表达思想或感情的艺术形式。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The biggest discovery since Lascaux occurred in December 1994, when three cave explorers laid eyes on artworks that had not been seen since a rockslide 22,000 years ago closed off a large deep cave in southern France”（自拉斯科洞窟以来最大的发现发生在1994年12月，当时三名洞穴探险家发现了一些艺术品，这些艺术品自2.2万年前法国南部一个巨大的深洞被岩崩封闭以来就再也没有出现过）可知直到1994年，肖维家族的画作一直被岩崩封住。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段“ they soon saw wonderfully lifelike paintings of running horses, swimming deer, wounded wild oxen, and other beings—works of art that may be up to 20,000 years old.”（他们很快就看到了栩栩如生的油画，有奔跑的马、游泳的鹿、受伤的野牛，以及其他生灵，这些艺术品可能已有两万多年的历史了。）引出对拉斯科洞穴壁画的发现；后面第二段、第三段和第四段主要讲述洞穴壁画的研究以及世界上最古老洞穴壁画的寻找工作仍在继续。可知文章主要讲述的是寻找洞穴壁画。故选D。
D
The 1930s and early 1940s were a good time to fish for sardines (沙丁鱼) off California. Centered on Monterey Bay, catches increased dramatically and supported the state’s economy. But the situation began to change in 1946, and sardine catches eventually fell from an average of 234,000 tons to just 24,000 tons. The industry went belly-up.
Scientists have guessed for decades about what caused this phenomenon, but they lacked data to test their theories. Now researchers have finally found one apparent cause: cycles of ocean upwelling, a defining feature of the West Coast sea environment in which deep, nutrient-rich water rises to the nutrient-poor surface and restores the food supply there. The key that unlocked this phenomenon turned out to be old seaweed specimens (标本) gathered around the U. S.
“Plants are just sitting there, recording data about the state of the ocean,” says Kyle Van Houtan, chief scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and senior author of the new study. Van Houtan and others had suspected the impact of upwelling, but scientists only started measuring the process in Monterey Bay in 1946. Historic seaweed specimens, Van Houtan realized, might fill in the blanks for earlier years—similar to the way ice cores can help reconstruct CO2 levels from times before researchers started collecting real-time measurements.
For the new study, the scientists relied on the fact that deeper water near Monterey typically hosts more of a particular nitrogen isotope (氮同位素). Looking at modern upwelling data and recently collected seaweed, they found that higher levels of this nitrogen in the plants’ cells corresponded with periods of more upwelling. Next they measured the isotope levels in 70 historic specimens of the red seaweed Gelidium, gathered from Monterey as far back as 1878. The results suggested a gradual increase in upwelling and then a dramatic decrease, which lined up with the sardine population’s growth and decline.
“This paper is an excellent example of the creative detective work of historical ecology,” says Loren McClenachan, a marine ecologist at Colby College, who was not involved in the research. “There are thousands and thousands of similar specimens in collections around the world, and applying similar methods could teach us a great deal about long-term ocean change.”
32. What does the underlined part “went belly-up” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Sprang up. B. Caught on. C. Crashed. D. Participated.
33. What does the author want to show by mentioning ice cores?
A. The significance of historic specimens.
B. The severity of global climate change.
C. The effectiveness of real-time measurements.
D. The necessity of sea level reconstruct ion.
34. How did the scientists carry out the new study?
A. By comparing different kinds of seaweed.
B. By analyzing historic and current data.
C. By recording the upwelling process.
D. By measuring the CO2 levels.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Rise and Fall of Red Seaweed Gelidium
B. Sardines Have Been Hard Hit by Overfishing
C The Hidden History of Fisheries in the West Coast
D. Old Seaweed Reveals Secret of Monterey Sardine History
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国加州蒙特利湾的沙丁鱼数量变化这一现象的原因和测量方法。
【详解】1.词句猜测题。第一段前半部分关键句“Centered on Monterey Bay, catches increased dramatically and supported the state’s economy.”（以蒙特利湾为中心，捕鱼量大幅增加，支撑了该州的经济。）提到加州蒙特利湾的沙丁鱼捕获量大幅增加，支撑了该州的经济，紧接着用But一词转折，“But the situation began to change in 1946, and sardine catches eventually fell from an average of 234,000 tons to just 24,000 tons.”（但这种情况在1946年开始改变，沙丁鱼的捕获量最终从平均23.4万吨下降到只有2.4万吨。）指出沙丁鱼的数量锐减。由此可知，该行业遭受重创。belly-up中的belly意为“肚子”，描绘出“鱼肚皮朝天（即死亡）”的情形，常用go belly-up表示“破产、倒闭、失败”，与Crashed近义。故选C项。
2.推理判断题。根据文章第三段关键句““Plants are just sitting there, recording data about the state of the ocean,” says Kyle Van Houtan, chief scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and senior author of the new study.”（蒙特利湾水族馆的首席科学家、这项新研究的资深作者Kyle Van Houtan说:“植物只是坐在那里，记录着海洋状态的数据。”）及“Historic seaweed specimens, Van Houtan realized, might fill in the blanks for earlier years—similar to the way ice cores can help reconstruct CO2 levels from times before researchers started collecting real-time measurements.”（Van Houtan意识到，历史上的海藻标本可能会填补早期的空白——类似于研究人员开始收集实时测量数据之前，冰芯可以帮助重建二氧化碳水平。）可知，提到冰芯是为了说明历史标本对科学研究的重要意义。故选A项。
3.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段关键句“Looking at modern upwelling data and recently collected seaweed, they found that higher levels of this nitrogen in the plants’ cells corresponded with periods of more upwelling. Next they measured the isotope levels in 70 historic specimens of the red seaweed Gelidium, gathered from Monterey as far back as 1878.”（通过研究现代上升流的数据和最近收集的海藻，他们发现，植物细胞中氮的水平越高，上升流的周期就越长。 接下来，他们测量了70种具有历史意义的红海藻石蒜标本的同位素水平，这些标本早在1878年就从蒙特利采集到了。）可知，科学家是通过分析新旧资料而开展这项研究的。故选B项。
4.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段关键句“Centered on Monterey Bay, catches increased dramatically and supported the state’s economy. But the situation began to change in 1946, and sardine catches eventually fell from an average of 234,000 tons to just 24,000 tons.”（以蒙特利湾为中心，捕鱼量大幅增加，支撑了该州的经济。但这种情况在1946年开始改变，沙丁鱼的捕获量最终从平均23.4万吨下降到只有2.4万吨。）提到沙丁鱼数量剧增和骤减这一现象及文章第二段关键句“The key that unlocked this phenomenon turned out to be old seaweed specimens gathered around the U. S.”（解开这一现象的关键是收集在美国周围的旧海藻标本。）并结合全文内容可知，文章围绕利用海藻标本揭秘蒙特利湾的沙丁鱼数量变化展开，D项内容“Old Seaweed Reveals Secret of Monterey Sardine History”（老海藻揭示蒙特利沙丁鱼历史的秘密）概括了文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选D项。
第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，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。
Self-esteem is the ruling view you have of yourself. This includes your beliefs about your inner qualities and how you think others see you. ___36___ Someone can develop low self-esteem even when they are highly functional and greatly skilled. Understanding this mysterious emotional currency might be the key to unlocking your own self-worth.
People with healthy self-esteem don't need to boast about themselves to others. People with low self-esteem may tell you how much everyone loves them, what a great job they do at work, and how amazing they are at pretty everything under the sun even though they really wonder if it's true. People may see them as obnoxious or "full of themselves". ___37___ They are not shy about sharing ideas, including constructive criticisms of others. They also take care of themselves without second-guessing or apologizing. They are the people who we say seem "sure of themselves".
If you're starting to think you may have low self-esteem, you can work on the way you talk to yourself. When you turn off negative self-talk, you can open the floor to positive reinforcements and access the courage to show different sides of yourself. It isn't going to feel good at first, though. Keep going until it becomes less and less and maybe even a few awkward laughs in the mirror may help. ___38___
However, in serious cases of low or even non-existent self-esteem, you may want to call in a professional or a specialist. Good mental health is important, and professionals doing psychotherapy do not pass judgement or give corrections. ___39___ It is the best way to get at the roots of your real self-esteem problems.
___40___ It will take some work but your entire life—from your relationships to your body image to your work habits—will be touched with the kind of power that only comes from someone believing in themselves. This is the hardest part, and the greatest leap. With some changes and support, you can improve your self-esteem and see how everything else changes as a result.
A. Self-esteem is not always rooted in reality, though.
B. You have the power to shape a new self-perception
C. This encourages you to speak openly without worry.
D. The real test of character is whether they can learn from their mistakes
E. Self-esteem refers to a person's overall sense of his or her value or worth.
F. People with a healthy level of self-esteem present themselves with a casual confidence.
G. With some practice and persistence, you will win this internal struggle to see your self-worth.
【答案】36. A 37. F 38. G 39. C 40. B
【解析】
【分析】文章是一篇说明文，讲述了自尊的定义，拥有健康自尊的人们的特征和低自尊人群对自身的危害，最后对于如何正确提升自尊给出了建议。
【36题详解】
空格下文“ Someone can develop low self-esteem even when they are highly functional and greatly skilled.”（有些人即使很能干、很有技能，也可能会发展出低自尊。）这个例子与空格前没有呼应，选项A“Self-esteem is not always rooted in reality, though.”（然而，自尊并不总是根植于现实。）与这个例子存在论点和论据的关系，故选择A。
【37题详解】
这段第一句“People with healthy self-esteem don't need to boast about themselves to others. ”（有健康自尊的人不需要向别人吹嘘自己。）可见，整一段都在讲健康自尊的人们。再者空格后“They are not shy about sharing ideas, including constructive criticisms of others. ”（他们不羞于分享想法，包括对他人的建设性批评。）可知，选项F的“People with a healthy level of self-esteem ”与整段的指代一致，故选择F。
【38题详解】
根据空格前“When you turn off negative self-talk, you can open the floor.....Keep going until it becomes less and less and maybe even a few awkward laughs in the mirror may help.”(当你停止消极的自我对话时，你就能敞开心扉......继续，直到它变得越来越少，也许甚至是在镜子里的几个尴尬的笑可能会有帮助。)可知，讲述改变低自尊状态的方法，与选项G"With some practice and persistence, you will win this internal struggle to see your self-worth."(通过一些练习和坚持，你会赢得这场内在的斗争，看到你的自我价值。),中的练习和坚持这些方法相对应，故选G。
【39题详解】
空格前“professionals doing psychotherapy do not pass judgement or give corrections. ”（做心理治疗的专业人员不会通过判断或给予纠正。）可知，这个现象与选项C中指代的this指代一致，专业人员不会判断或者纠正，所以这将鼓励你去放开说。故选择C.
【40题详解】
空格后“It will take some work but your entire life—from your relationships to your body image to your work habits”（这需要付出一些努力，但你的整个生活——从你的人际关系到你的身体形象，再到你的工作习惯），可知it 指代与选项B"You have the power to shape a new self-perception(你有能力塑造一种新的自我认知)相一致，可知新的自我认知需要一些努力，但会让你受益颇多。故选择B.

【45题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：最后，她所能做的就是用胳膊搂住Lizzie的脖子，试图抓住它。A. stretch拉长；B. throw扔；C. feel感觉；D. bend弯曲。由前文可知，Nancy越来越吃劲，所以她用手搂住Lizzie的脖子，试图抓住Lizzie，throw熟词生义，表示挥动（拳头、手臂） throw one's arms around sb.“搂住某人”。故选B。
【46题详解】
考查动词短语辨析。句意：最后，她所能做的就是用胳膊搂住Lizzie的脖子，试图抓住它。A. hang on紧抓……不放；B. come along出现；C. run away逃走；D. pull through渡过难关。根据上文“her arm around Lizzie's neck and try to”可知，因为Nancy走的越来越慢，她用手搂住Lizzie的脖子，试图抓住Lizzie来让自己获得前进的动力，hang on表示“紧抓……不放”。故选A。
【47题详解】

【56题详解】
考查现在分词作宾语补足语。句意：2020年初，新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)袭击中国武汉，全国感染人数迅速上升。此处是with的独立主格结构作状语，with+宾语+宾语补足语，是固定结构，其中the number of infected people和rise之间是主动关系，是现在分词作宾语补足语，故填rising。
【57题详解】
考查定冠词the。句意：2020年3月11日，世界卫生组织正式将席卷全球大多数国家并导致数千人死亡的病毒性疾病定义为大流行。此处用定冠词the表示特指，故填the。
【58题详解】
考查as引导的非限制性定语从句。句意：据报道，COVID-19在基因上与已知的蝙蝠冠状病毒相似。固定句型：as is reported“正如所报道的”。此处as是关系代词，意思是“正如”，引导非限制性定语从句。故填as。
【59题详解】
考查固定词组。句意：据报道，COVID-19在基因上与已知的蝙蝠冠状病毒相似。固定词组：be similar to“与……相似”。故填to。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意：最初，人们怀疑作为食物出售的野生动物是2019冠状病毒病的中间宿主，因为许多第一批被发现感染该病毒的人是华南海鲜市场的工作人员。此处suspected是过去分词，由副词修饰，故填originally。
【61题详解】
考查过去分词作后置定语。句意：最初，人们怀疑作为食物出售的野生动物是2019冠状病毒病的中间宿主，因为许多第一批被发现感染该病毒的人是华南海鲜市场的工作人员。此处individuals和find之间是被动关系，是过去分词作后置定语。故填found。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意：这次爆发促使中国禁止野生动物贸易和消费。分析句子结构the trade and ____7____ (consume) of可知此处用名词形式与名词trade并列。所给词consume是动词，其名词形式是consumption。故填consumption。

67. 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。
When Micah was a child, I used to do many things with her. Later, I got promoted and was always on constant business holidays. 3 years' devotion to work resulted in my absence from her life and now she was a teenage girl. Recently, I eventually managed to have abundant time to accompany her.
For the last few weeks, Micah had watched mockingbirds make a nest in a tree and lay eggs there. Sometimes, I came to accompany her without being invited. But whenever I made an attempt to break the ice, “I'm good” was about all she said to me. Code for “Leave me alone”.
“Why doesn't she want to do things with me?”I thought as I set the table for dinner one evening, hoping for an emotion bridge to reappear between us. Did she feel hurt with my long absence or feel ignored ? Lost in thought, I was seeking to mend the relationship.
“Mom!” Micah yelled suddenly. “Come quick!”
Surprised, I rushed out, only to find a little baby bird on the ground, weak and helpless. My eyes went to the branches above.
“The wind must have blown him out of the nest,”I said.
“No, it was Mr. Whiskers -our cat. You let him go outside!” Micah said, a bit annoyed.
Looking at the nest without the parents, “I'm sorry,”I said and put the bird in my palm cautiously and gently. She didn't respond, but did not refused my offer to help, either. Deciding to take care of the little baby till it became independent, I placed it in its nest. “What should we do next?” I asked. No response again. Instead, Micah went inside and hopped on her iPad. “Bird videos?” I asked. “Yes, I'm finding out what to feed it,” she said seriously.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
She was more focused than ever.
Paragraph 2:
Before long, the bird food was delivered and we fed the bird "Chance" at once.
【答案】She was more focused than ever. Soon, Micah smiled broadly, “I’ve got it.” “What do we need?” I asked again. She said the baby bird needed some special bird food. Hearing this, I immediately phoned to place an order. While waiting for delivery, Micah added that we needed to name the bird to build a bond. “How about Chance? I think it has a good chance of making it with your help,” I proposed. She didn’t say a word but nodded with a bright smile.
Before long, the bird food was delivered and we fed the bird “Chance” at once. To our relief, the special food was to its taste. The following weeks, we went to feed and check on Chance every day. One day, Micah shared with me happily her finding that Chance became independent. Looking at her shining face, I was almost moved to tears. I never imagined that the bird Chance became the real chance to rebuild the emotion bridge between us. From then, I decided to accompany her more, just as what we had done to Chance. Company is the best love. (175 words)

【原文】W: James, have you ever been to school?
M: Oh, yes. I started at nursery school when I was four, and when I turned seven, I went on to junior school. I left when I was eight, and my mother’s been teaching me at home ever since. I do a lot of projects on particular topics.
W: What do you think is the hardest part of doing projects?
M: Mm, deciding topics isn’t too difficult. Then I have to search for material by using the Internet, interviewing people or doing experiments. After that, I have to write a report and I find that quite hard.
W: What subjects do you study?
M: Well, there’s history — I’m not keen on that. And I know English is necessary, but I don ’t look forward to the lessons. Um, I didn’t like biology at first, but after a while I really took to it.
W: And what about when you finish your education?
M: I used to want to be a tennis player, but now I’ll just go on playing for pleasure. I might go into film-making — I’d like to do something creative. It doesn’t appeal to me to be a teacher like my mother. One in the family is enough!

【原文】Today on the food program, I’m going to tell you about two interesting websites which give you information about two very important foods — rice and noodles. First of all, let’s look at the Pagewise website. This site will tell you about the history of rice, the different types of rice and how to cook it. For example, European and American rice is grown in dry fields. But it absorbs more water than Asian rice, which is grown in flooded fields. Nowadays, more than 550 million tonnes is produced around the world each year, 92% of that being produced in Asia. Now, moving on to the Yokohama Noodle Museum site. The museum stays open later than most museums — from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm, with the last admission being 10:00 pm. The museum is open every day except for Tuesday, with Sunday being the busiest day and Thursday being the least busy. The first floor of the museum has a souvenir shop. It sells bowls for eating noodles out of, equipment for making noodles — even curtains with pictures of noodles on them! You can see a display showing how noodles are made. On B1F and B2F, there are different noodle shops, which take orders until 30 minutes before closing time.

Rachel Kunhner, the author of Telex from Cuba, The Mars Room, and The Flamethrowers, has got some excellent books for you.
Agortino by Alberto Moravla (1944).
When my son turned 13, my mother said to me, “You have to read Agostino.” Agosino is a perfect novella and perhaps the best literate ever written about being a 13-year-old boy. It’s painful and tender and funny. A masterpiece.
The Copenhagen Trilogy by Tove Ditlevsen(1967—71).
Ditlevsen was a 20th-century Danish writer. Her trilogy of short memoirs, Childhood, Youth, and Dependency, is becoming the subject of a literary craze. As 8oon as you sink your teeth in, you’ll understand why. The books are fascinating. The problem is they bite back. I’m still recovering.
Star by Yukio Mishima (1960).
There are a lot of Mishima novels that haven’t been translated into English. This novella about a movie star losing touch with reality only recently was. “A true star, ” Mishima writes, “never arrives. Showing up is for second-rate actor who need to seek attention. ” Want to seem glamorous? Stay home. Attending things is for the second-rate.
The Expendable Man by Dorothy B. Hughes (1963).
Donna Tart once recommended Hughes to me. I’m so glad she did. While Hughes’ most famous book, deservedly 80, is In a Lonely Place. The Expendable Man has one of the best opening sequences of any mystery novel: A man driving from L. A. to Phoenix picks up a hitchhiker—a dirty and ungraceful teenage girl—with grave consequences.
21. Which book may appeal to readers crazy about mystery-solving stories?
A. Star. B. The Expendable Man. C. The Copenhagen Theology. D. Agostino.

I’m rather good at using maps. But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of vacation, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon. No other car in sight, and the sun had just gone down. Where was that sweet little village?
It was supposed to be right along this river. We drove on, farther into the unknown, river always at left as our guide. We kept passing farms and fields and now a few lights were coming out. In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticisms: Why didn't we start earlier, bring the map and on and on? My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed. My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, text messaging a friend. I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think.
Just then－WOW! Amazing! A new scene had appeared. Where did it come from?
Right there, out of nowhere: a magical misty landscape. Fields stretched in silent purples, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk (黄昏). I turned the car engine off. All was silent in the hot summer air. Beside us, a plum-colored river hardly moved between a border of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day.
How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all.
We miss a lot, almost everything, in fact, in our world. Our task-focused filters (过滤器) take care of that, selecting only what we need. We need to get to work. Have some lunch. We see what we need to see, often for purposes of survival. Gregory Bateson, speaking of beauty, said the judgment is selection of a fact. In our daily lives, who or what is doing the selecting? Can we make a change? Can we see further?
24. Which of the following might be the destination of the author’s driving?
A. Her own home. B. A vacation spot. C. A tourist centre. D. Her cousin’s farm.
25. What made the author keep blaming herself in the beginning?
A. That the vacation was below her expectations.
B. That she wasn’t as good at using maps as before.
C. That her cousin and daughter couldn’t get along.
D. That lack of full preparations got her to lose her way.
26. The author felt really amazed because ___________.
A. her carelessness brought an unexpected pleasure
B. she discovered a tourist spot unknown to the public
C. she unintentionally reached what she had planned to
D. the right route to her destination came out of nowhere
27 What does the story intend to tell us?
A. Stay coo when you are trapped in trouble.
B. Make a change for the purpose of survival.
C. Slow down your paces to enjoy beauty in life.
D. Be positive because there's always an alternative.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. C

On a September afternoon in 1940, four teenage boys made their way through the woods on a hill overlooking Montignac in southwestern France. They had come to explore a dark, deep hole said to be an underground passage to the nearby manor（庄园）of Lascaux. Squeezing through the entrance one by one, they soon saw wonderfully lifelike paintings of running horses, swimming deer, wounded wild oxen, and other beings—works of art that may be up to 20,000 years old.
The collection of paintings in Lascaux is among some 150 prehistoric sites dating from the Paleolithic period（旧石器时代）that have been documented in France's Vezere Valley. This corner of southwestern Europe seems to have been a hot spot for figurative art. The biggest discovery since Lascaux occurred in December 1994, when three cave explorers laid eyes on artworks that had not been seen since a rockslide 22,000 years ago closed off a large deep cave in southern France. Here, by unsteadily shining firelight, prehistoric artists drew outlines of cave lions, herds of rhinos（犀牛）and magnificent wild oxen, horses, cave bears. In all, the artists drew 442 animals over perhaps thousands of years, using nearly 400,000 square feet of cave surface as their canvas（画布）. The site, now known as Chauvet-Pont-1'Arc Cave, is sometimes considered the Sistine Chapel of prehistory.
For decades scholars had theorized that art had advanced in slow stages from ancient scratchings to lively, naturalistic interpretation. Surely the delicate shading and elegant lines of Chauvet's masterworks placed them at the top of that progression. Then carbon dates came in, and prehistorians felt shocked. At some 36,000 years old—nearly twice as old as those in Lascaux—Chauvet's images represented not the peak of prehistoric art but its earliest known beginnings.
The search for the world's oldest cave paintings continues. On the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, for example, scientists found a large room of paintings of part-human, part-animal beings that are estimated to be 44,000 years old, older than any figurative art seen in Europe.
Scholars don't know if art was invented many times over or if it was a skill developed early in our evolution. What we do know is that artistic expression runs deep in our ancestry.
28. According to the passage, where did the boys find the paintings?
A. In the woods on a hill B. In a deep cave in France.
C. In a manor of Lascaux. D. On an Indonesian island
29. According to the passage, figurative art in paragraph 2 is a form of art that_____________.
A. conveys concepts by using accurate numbers and forms
B. makes stories in contrast to scientific subjects
C. represents persons or things in a realistic way
D. expresses ideas or feelings by using shapes and patterns
30. It can be inferred from the passage that_____________.
A. the Chauvet's paintings had been sealed by a rockslide until 1994
B. the style of Chauvet's paintings is similar to that of the Sistine Chapel
C. Chauvet's images are the earliest figurative paintings that have been found
D. the main objects of Chauvet's images are part-human, part-animal beings
31. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Value of Paleolithic Artwork B. Preservation of Figurative Art
C. Artistic Expressions of Nature D. Searches for Cave Paintings
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了洞穴壁画的发现和研究。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“ They had come to explore a dark, deep hole said to be an underground passage to the nearby manor（庄园）of Lascaux. Squeezing through the entrance one by one, they soon saw wonderfully lifelike paintings of running horses, swimming deer, wounded wild oxen, and other beings—works of art that may be up to 20,000 years old.”（他们是来探索一个又黑又深的洞的，据说这是通往附近拉斯科庄园的地下通道。他们一个接一个地从入口处挤进去，很快就看到了栩栩如生的绘画，有奔跑的马、游泳的鹿、受伤的野牛，以及其他生灵，这些艺术品可能已有两万多年的历史了。）可知男孩们在法国一个很深的洞穴里发现了这些画。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“ Here, by unsteadily shining firelight, prehistoric artists drew outlines of cave lions, herds of rhinos（犀牛）and magnificent wild oxen, horses, cave bears. In all, the artists drew 442 animals over perhaps thousands of years, using nearly 400,000 square feet of cave surface as their canvas（画布）”（在这里，史前艺术家们用摇曳的火光勾勒出洞穴狮子、成群的犀牛、壮丽的野牛、马和洞穴熊的轮廓。总共，艺术家们用近40万平方英尺的洞穴表面作为画布，在大约数千年的时间里画了442只动物）可知 figurative art是一种通过使用形状和图案来表达思想或感情的艺术形式。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The biggest discovery since Lascaux occurred in December 1994, when three cave explorers laid eyes on artworks that had not been seen since a rockslide 22,000 years ago closed off a large deep cave in southern France”（自拉斯科洞窟以来最大的发现发生在1994年12月，当时三名洞穴探险家发现了一些艺术品，这些艺术品自2.2万年前法国南部一个巨大的深洞被岩崩封闭以来就再也没有出现过）可知直到1994年，肖维家族的画作一直被岩崩封住。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段“ they soon saw wonderfully lifelike paintings of running horses, swimming deer, wounded wild oxen, and other beings—works of art that may be up to 20,000 years old.”（他们很快就看到了栩栩如生的油画，有奔跑的马、游泳的鹿、受伤的野牛，以及其他生灵，这些艺术品可能已有两万多年的历史了。）引出对拉斯科洞穴壁画的发现；后面第二段、第三段和第四段主要讲述洞穴壁画的研究以及世界上最古老洞穴壁画的寻找工作仍在继续。可知文章主要讲述的是寻找洞穴壁画。故选D。
D
The 1930s and early 1940s were a good time to fish for sardines (沙丁鱼) off California. Centered on Monterey Bay, catches increased dramatically and supported the state’s economy. But the situation began to change in 1946, and sardine catches eventually fell from an average of 234,000 tons to just 24,000 tons. The industry went belly-up.
Scientists have guessed for decades about what caused this phenomenon, but they lacked data to test their theories. Now researchers have finally found one apparent cause: cycles of ocean upwelling, a defining feature of the West Coast sea environment in which deep, nutrient-rich water rises to the nutrient-poor surface and restores the food supply there. The key that unlocked this phenomenon turned out to be old seaweed specimens (标本) gathered around the U. S.
“Plants are just sitting there, recording data about the state of the ocean,” says Kyle Van Houtan, chief scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and senior author of the new study. Van Houtan and others had suspected the impact of upwelling, but scientists only started measuring the process in Monterey Bay in 1946. Historic seaweed specimens, Van Houtan realized, might fill in the blanks for earlier years—similar to the way ice cores can help reconstruct CO2 levels from times before researchers started collecting real-time measurements.
For the new study, the scientists relied on the fact that deeper water near Monterey typically hosts more of a particular nitrogen isotope (氮同位素). Looking at modern upwelling data and recently collected seaweed, they found that higher levels of this nitrogen in the plants’ cells corresponded with periods of more upwelling. Next they measured the isotope levels in 70 historic specimens of the red seaweed Gelidium, gathered from Monterey as far back as 1878. The results suggested a gradual increase in upwelling and then a dramatic decrease, which lined up with the sardine population’s growth and decline.
“This paper is an excellent example of the creative detective work of historical ecology,” says Loren McClenachan, a marine ecologist at Colby College, who was not involved in the research. “There are thousands and thousands of similar specimens in collections around the world, and applying similar methods could teach us a great deal about long-term ocean change.”
32. What does the underlined part “went belly-up” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Sprang up. B. Caught on. C. Crashed. D. Participated.
33. What does the author want to show by mentioning ice cores?
A. The significance of historic specimens.
B. The severity of global climate change.
C. The effectiveness of real-time measurements.
D. The necessity of sea level reconstruct ion.
34. How did the scientists carry out the new study?
A. By comparing different kinds of seaweed.
B. By analyzing historic and current data.
C. By recording the upwelling process.
D. By measuring the CO2 levels.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Rise and Fall of Red Seaweed Gelidium
B. Sardines Have Been Hard Hit by Overfishing
C The Hidden History of Fisheries in the West Coast
D. Old Seaweed Reveals Secret of Monterey Sardine History
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国加州蒙特利湾的沙丁鱼数量变化这一现象的原因和测量方法。
【详解】1.词句猜测题。第一段前半部分关键句“Centered on Monterey Bay, catches increased dramatically and supported the state’s economy.”（以蒙特利湾为中心，捕鱼量大幅增加，支撑了该州的经济。）提到加州蒙特利湾的沙丁鱼捕获量大幅增加，支撑了该州的经济，紧接着用But一词转折，“But the situation began to change in 1946, and sardine catches eventually fell from an average of 234,000 tons to just 24,000 tons.”（但这种情况在1946年开始改变，沙丁鱼的捕获量最终从平均23.4万吨下降到只有2.4万吨。）指出沙丁鱼的数量锐减。由此可知，该行业遭受重创。belly-up中的belly意为“肚子”，描绘出“鱼肚皮朝天（即死亡）”的情形，常用go belly-up表示“破产、倒闭、失败”，与Crashed近义。故选C项。
2.推理判断题。根据文章第三段关键句““Plants are just sitting there, recording data about the state of the ocean,” says Kyle Van Houtan, chief scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and senior author of the new study.”（蒙特利湾水族馆的首席科学家、这项新研究的资深作者Kyle Van Houtan说:“植物只是坐在那里，记录着海洋状态的数据。”）及“Historic seaweed specimens, Van Houtan realized, might fill in the blanks for earlier years—similar to the way ice cores can help reconstruct CO2 levels from times before researchers started collecting real-time measurements.”（Van Houtan意识到，历史上的海藻标本可能会填补早期的空白——类似于研究人员开始收集实时测量数据之前，冰芯可以帮助重建二氧化碳水平。）可知，提到冰芯是为了说明历史标本对科学研究的重要意义。故选A项。
3.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段关键句“Looking at modern upwelling data and recently collected seaweed, they found that higher levels of this nitrogen in the plants’ cells corresponded with periods of more upwelling. Next they measured the isotope levels in 70 historic specimens of the red seaweed Gelidium, gathered from Monterey as far back as 1878.”（通过研究现代上升流的数据和最近收集的海藻，他们发现，植物细胞中氮的水平越高，上升流的周期就越长。 接下来，他们测量了70种具有历史意义的红海藻石蒜标本的同位素水平，这些标本早在1878年就从蒙特利采集到了。）可知，科学家是通过分析新旧资料而开展这项研究的。故选B项。
4.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段关键句“Centered on Monterey Bay, catches increased dramatically and supported the state’s economy. But the situation began to change in 1946, and sardine catches eventually fell from an average of 234,000 tons to just 24,000 tons.”（以蒙特利湾为中心，捕鱼量大幅增加，支撑了该州的经济。但这种情况在1946年开始改变，沙丁鱼的捕获量最终从平均23.4万吨下降到只有2.4万吨。）提到沙丁鱼数量剧增和骤减这一现象及文章第二段关键句“The key that unlocked this phenomenon turned out to be old seaweed specimens gathered around the U. S.”（解开这一现象的关键是收集在美国周围的旧海藻标本。）并结合全文内容可知，文章围绕利用海藻标本揭秘蒙特利湾的沙丁鱼数量变化展开，D项内容“Old Seaweed Reveals Secret of Monterey Sardine History”（老海藻揭示蒙特利沙丁鱼历史的秘密）概括了文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选D项。
第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，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。
Self-esteem is the ruling view you have of yourself. This includes your beliefs about your inner qualities and how you think others see you. ___36___ Someone can develop low self-esteem even when they are highly functional and greatly skilled. Understanding this mysterious emotional currency might be the key to unlocking your own self-worth.
People with healthy self-esteem don't need to boast about themselves to others. People with low self-esteem may tell you how much everyone loves them, what a great job they do at work, and how amazing they are at pretty everything under the sun even though they really wonder if it's true. People may see them as obnoxious or "full of themselves". ___37___ They are not shy about sharing ideas, including constructive criticisms of others. They also take care of themselves without second-guessing or apologizing. They are the people who we say seem "sure of themselves".
If you're starting to think you may have low self-esteem, you can work on the way you talk to yourself. When you turn off negative self-talk, you can open the floor to positive reinforcements and access the courage to show different sides of yourself. It isn't going to feel good at first, though. Keep going until it becomes less and less and maybe even a few awkward laughs in the mirror may help. ___38___
However, in serious cases of low or even non-existent self-esteem, you may want to call in a professional or a specialist.

【分析】文章是一篇说明文，讲述了自尊的定义，拥有健康自尊的人们的特征和低自尊人群对自身的危害，最后对于如何正确提升自尊给出了建议。
【36题详解】
空格下文“ Someone can develop low self-esteem even when they are highly functional and greatly skilled.”（有些人即使很能干、很有技能，也可能会发展出低自尊。）这个例子与空格前没有呼应，选项A“Self-esteem is not always rooted in reality, though.”（然而，自尊并不总是根植于现实。）与这个例子存在论点和论据的关系，故选择A。
【37题详解】
这段第一句“People with healthy self-esteem don't need to boast about themselves to others. ”（有健康自尊的人不需要向别人吹嘘自己。）可见，整一段都在讲健康自尊的人们。再者空格后“They are not shy about sharing ideas, including constructive criticisms of others. ”（他们不羞于分享想法，包括对他人的建设性批评。）可知，选项F的“People with a healthy level of self-esteem ”与整段的指代一致，故选择F。
【38题详解】
根据空格前“When you turn off negative self-talk, you can open the floor.....Keep going until it becomes less and less and maybe even a few awkward laughs in the mirror may help.”(当你停止消极的自我对话时，你就能敞开心扉......继续，直到它变得越来越少，也许甚至是在镜子里的几个尴尬的笑可能会有帮助。)可知，讲述改变低自尊状态的方法，与选项G"With some practice and persistence, you will win this internal struggle to see your self-worth."(通过一些练习和坚持，你会赢得这场内在的斗争，看到你的自我价值。),中的练习和坚持这些方法相对应，故选G。
【39题详解】
空格前“professionals doing psychotherapy do not pass judgement or give corrections. ”（做心理治疗的专业人员不会通过判断或给予纠正。）可知，这个现象与选项C中指代的this指代一致，专业人员不会判断或者纠正，所以这将鼓励你去放开说。故选择C.
【40题详解】
空格后“It will take some work but your entire life—from your relationships to your body image to your work habits”（这需要付出一些努力，但你的整个生活——从你的人际关系到你的身体形象，再到你的工作习惯），可知it 指代与选项B"You have the power to shape a new self-perception(你有能力塑造一种新的自我认知)相一致，可知新的自我认知需要一些努力，但会让你受益颇多。故选择B.

【41题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：当她试图把她的牛赶到更高的地方时，她滑倒了，她的头撞到了一棵倒下的树干上。A. rose上升；B. succeeded成功；C. slipped滑动；D. stayed停留。根据后文“and hit her head on a fallen tree trunk”可知，她的头撞在一根树干上可以推断出她滑倒了。故选C。

【43题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：水位在上升。A. rising上升；B. flowing流动；C. approaching靠近；D. changing改变。根据后文“The water was now waist high.”可知，水位还在上涨，rise对应后面的up。故选A。
【44题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意：Nancy的脚步越来越慢。A. mind思维；B. heartbeat心跳；C. pace步速；D. breath呼吸。前面写Nancy刚开始站起来和Lizzie一起慢慢的走，基本是同步的，但是随着水位慢慢上升甚至齐腰，Nancy前进的越来越困难，走的越来越慢，pace“步伐、步速”符合语境。故选C。
【45题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：最后，她所能做的就是用胳膊搂住Lizzie的脖子，试图抓住它。A. stretch拉长；B. throw扔；C. feel感觉；D. bend弯曲。由前文可知，Nancy越来越吃劲，所以她用手搂住Lizzie的脖子，试图抓住Lizzie，throw熟词生义，表示挥动（拳头、手臂） throw one's arms around sb.“搂住某人”。故选B。
【46题详解】
考查动词短语辨析。句意：最后，她所能做的就是用胳膊搂住Lizzie的脖子，试图抓住它。A. hang on紧抓……不放；B. come along出现；C. run away逃走；D. pull through渡过难关。根据上文“her arm around Lizzie's neck and try to”可知，因为Nancy走的越来越慢，她用手搂住Lizzie的脖子，试图抓住Lizzie来让自己获得前进的动力，hang on表示“紧抓……不放”。故选A。
【47题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：大约20分钟后，Lizzie成功地把自己和Nancy从汹涌的河水中拖了出来，爬到了一块高地上，那是一个坐落在几英亩汹涌水域中间的小岛。A. direct指导；B. seize抓住；C. pull拉；D. carry搬运。根据后文“herself and Nancy out of the raging water”可知，她们陷在越来越深的河水中，所以最后应该是Lizzie终于成功地将自己和Nancy从汹涌的河水中拉出来。故选C。
【48题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意：大约20分钟后，Lizzie成功地把自己和Nancy从汹涌的河水中拖了出来，爬到了一块高地上，那是一个坐落在几英亩汹涌水域中间的小岛。A. pure纯的；B. still静止的；C. frozen结冰的；D. white白色的。Lizzie把自己和Nancy从汹涌的河水中拉到了一块高地上，一个小岛现在正处于大片的河水之中，white water指惊涛骇浪的水域。故选D。

【53题详解】
考查副词词义辨析。句意：两天后洪水退去，Nancy立刻回到了Lizzie不见的那个“岛”。A. gradually逐渐地；B. suddenly突然；C. immediately立即；D. occasionally偶尔。由前文“When the flood went down two days later”和后文“went back to the "island" Lizzie was”可知，Nancy能够获救离不开Lizzie的努力，Nancy与Lizzie等她的奶牛感情深厚，所以两天后当洪水退去，她立即回到了岛上来察看她的奶牛的情况。故选C。
【54题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：两天后洪水退去，Nancy立刻回到了Lizzie不见的那个“岛”。A. spotted发现；B. injured伤害；C. trapped受困；D. gone离开，不见。由后一句“was one of 19 cows that Nancy lost.”可知，Lizzie是Nancy失去的19头奶牛的其中之一，可以推断出Lizzie已经走了，即已经去世了。故选D。

考查副词词义辨析。句意：“它救了我一命。”Nancy抽泣着说。A. eagerly早地；B. sobbingly啜泣地；C. regretfully懊悔地；D. hesitantly犹豫地。Lizzie去世了，对Nancy来说是十分悲痛的，她说她的生命归功于Lizzie，所以她在说话的时候是抽泣地。故选B。

【56题详解】
考查现在分词作宾语补足语。句意：2020年初，新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)袭击中国武汉，全国感染人数迅速上升。此处是with的独立主格结构作状语，with+宾语+宾语补足语，是固定结构，其中the number of infected people和rise之间是主动关系，是现在分词作宾语补足语，故填rising。
【57题详解】
考查定冠词the。句意：2020年3月11日，世界卫生组织正式将席卷全球大多数国家并导致数千人死亡的病毒性疾病定义为大流行。此处用定冠词the表示特指，故填the。
【58题详解】
考查as引导的非限制性定语从句。句意：据报道，COVID-19在基因上与已知的蝙蝠冠状病毒相似。固定句型：as is reported“正如所报道的”。此处as是关系代词，意思是“正如”，引导非限制性定语从句。故填as。

【60题详解】
考查副词。句意：最初，人们怀疑作为食物出售的野生动物是2019冠状病毒病的中间宿主，因为许多第一批被发现感染该病毒的人是华南海鲜市场的工作人员。此处suspected是过去分词，由副词修饰，故填originally。
【61题详解】
考查过去分词作后置定语。句意：最初，人们怀疑作为食物出售的野生动物是2019冠状病毒病的中间宿主，因为许多第一批被发现感染该病毒的人是华南海鲜市场的工作人员。此处individuals和find之间是被动关系，是过去分词作后置定语。故填found。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意：这次爆发促使中国禁止野生动物贸易和消费。分析句子结构the trade and ____7____ (consume) of可知此处用名词形式与名词trade并列。所给词consume是动词，其名词形式是consumption。故填consumption。

67. 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。
When Micah was a child, I used to do many things with her. Later, I got promoted and was always on constant business holidays. 3 years' devotion to work resulted in my absence from her life and now she was a teenage girl. Recently, I eventually managed to have abundant time to accompany her.
For the last few weeks, Micah had watched mockingbirds make a nest in a tree and lay eggs there. Sometimes, I came to accompany her without being invited. But whenever I made an attempt to break the ice, “I'm good” was about all she said to me. Code for “Leave me alone”.
“Why doesn't she want to do things with me?”I thought as I set the table for dinner one evening, hoping for an emotion bridge to reappear between us. Did she feel hurt with my long absence or feel ignored ? Lost in thought, I was seeking to mend the relationship.
“Mom!” Micah yelled suddenly. “Come quick!”
Surprised, I rushed out, only to find a little baby bird on the ground, weak and helpless. My eyes went to the branches above.
“The wind must have blown him out of the nest,”I said.
“No, it was Mr. Whiskers -our cat. You let him go outside!” Micah said, a bit annoyed.
Looking at the nest without the parents, “I'm sorry,”I said and put the bird in my palm cautiously and gently. She didn't respond, but did not refused my offer to help, either. Deciding to take care of the little baby till it became independent, I placed it in its nest. “What should we do next?” I asked. No response again. Instead, Micah went inside and hopped on her iPad. “Bird videos?” I asked. “Yes, I'm finding out what to feed it,” she said seriously.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
She was more focused than ever.
Paragraph 2:
Before long, the bird food was delivered and we fed the bird "Chance" at once.
【答案】She was more focused than ever. Soon, Micah smiled broadly, “I’ve got it.” “What do we need?” I asked again. She said the baby bird needed some special bird food. Hearing this, I immediately phoned to place an order. While waiting for delivery, Micah added that we needed to name the bird to build a bond. “How about Chance? I think it has a good chance of making it with your help,” I proposed. She didn’t say a word but nodded with a bright smile.
Before long, the bird food was delivered and we fed the bird “Chance” at once. To our relief, the special food was to its taste. The following weeks, we went to feed and check on Chance every day. One day, Micah shared with me happily her finding that Chance became independent. Looking at her shining face, I was almost moved to tears. I never imagined that the bird Chance became the real chance to rebuild the emotion bridge between us. From then, I decided to accompany her more, just as what we had done to Chance. Company is the best love. (175 words)
