第二部分 （共两节，满分50分）
第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The return of the road trip
People are eager to get out of their houses, but not badly enough to get on a plane. The solution? A good old-fashioned road trip. As many states make travel rules less strict, they're encouraging people to move around within their home state to help increase local business. A road trip in one’s vehicle allows for a sense of control and you know whose germs(细菌) are in your space.
The prioritization(优先) of cleanliness
Travelers generally expect a clean hotel room when they arrive, and now expectations will be higher than ever. We're about to become concerned with cleanliness to the point that it could become the top priority of hotels, more so than comfortable beds and good service.
Checking list can show whether hosts are practicing strict new clean guidelines, including a24-hour waiting period between bookings.
The new appeal of nature
Travelers will be rightly nervous about crowds and anxious to avoid them. That will result in an explosion of visitors to national parks and other places where crowds are less likely to be met with. This could be the start of the golden age of camping, as people want to get outside while keeping social distance.
_______________
Health is at the forefront of everyone’s minds these days, and it is safe to say it'll stay therefore a long time yet. Meanwhile, people are sick of being indoors, so tourism is likely to reflect an increasing desire to promote good health while getting outside. Intrepid Travel’s CEO James told The Times, “If 2020 proves to be a year we spend a lot of time indoors, 2021 will be about getting outdoors and getting active, with tours centred around things like cycling and hiking.”
21. Taking a road trip is encouraged to ___________.
A. replace a tiring journey by air B. prevent germs from spreading
C. improve drivers’ control of the vehicle D. promote local economic development
22. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Hotels should put comfort in the first place.
B. Travelers should book a room 24 hours ahead.
C. Camping is a good choice to avoid crowds.
D. People tend to get sick after staying long indoors.
23. What is the best title for Paragraph 5?
A. The rise of health tourism B. The routine of keeping fit
C. The benefit of getting active D. The importance of health care
B
Science can’t explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners –while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed (放松) around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn’t lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - and found it worth doing.
24. What does the text mainly discuss?
A.People’s opinions of keeping pets. B.How pets help people calm down.
C.What pets bring to their owners. D.Pet’s value in medical research.
25. We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if __________.
A.he has a pet companion B.he has less stress of work
C.he often does mental arithmetic D.he is taken care of by his family
26. According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?
A.They have lower blood pressure. B.They become more patient.
C.They are less nervous. D.They are in higher spirits.
27. The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that ___________.
A.people with dogs did more exercise
B.dogs lost the same weight as people did
C.dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D.people without dogs found the program unhelpful
C
Cortana, Alexa, Siri, These are names of robotic voices that are often programmed on electronic tablets. They also become default (默认) identities for people with speech disorders who rely on technology to communicate. Now some speech scientists are developing personalized voices to reflect the broader diversity of the people who use them. To do it, they are tapping into a vast network of volunteers who are donating their voices to share with people who can’t speak.
The effort to build an international “Human Voicebank” has attracted more than 17,000 volunteers from 110 countries, including Priyanka Pandya, a 16-year-old from Columbia, Md., who plans to spend her winter vacation recording a string of sentences into her computer “To be able to give somebody the gift of voice, I think that’s really, really powerful,” she said.
“Everyone has a voice,” said Rupal Patel, founder of Vocalic, the company that started the voicebank. “Even people who are unable to speak have sounds that are unique to them.” Her company designs personalized voices by recording the unique sounds of the user, and then mixing them with 6 to 10 hours of recordings from a voice donor, matched by age, gender and region. The company is developing voices now for its first 100 customers.
Also, people’s voices change. The company is looking for donors who are willing to record their voices, and then record them again a few years later, as they get older.
Some of the first customers say they are happy with the results, John A. Gregoire was one of the first customers to receive a personalized voice from Vocalic last December. The voice came eight years after he developed ALS (肌萎缩侧索硬化症) and more than six years have passed since his voice became unintelligible to everyone except his wife and youngest son. “Having a distinctive voice is like getting something back that was stolen.” John said.
28. What does the author say about the voicebank?
A. It collects all kinds of voices. B. It gains strong public support.
C. It helps to recognize special voices. D. It offers people personalized voices free.
29. The example of John A Gregoire is given in the text to stress ________.
A. customers’ desire for personalized voices
B. VocaliD’s efforts to develop personalized voices
C. customers’ satisfaction with personalized voices
D. VocaliD’s success in designing personalized voices
30. What does the underlined word “unintelligible” mean?
A. Unclear. B. Soft. C. Incomplete. D. Rough.
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. VocaliD is devoted to building a voicebank.
B. Volunteers donate their voices to VocaliD.
C. The Human Voicebank helps people with speech problems.
D. The Human Voicebank wins fame among speechless people.
D
Hello! Wait! Don’t run away. Yes, I know I am a roach. So, what’s wrong with that?
You are speaking to the most successful species on the planet, you know! We’ve been around for 350 million years!
So what’s the secret of our success? Sure, we’ve had plenty of enemies. If you’re small and full of protein, everything wants to eat you. So what did we do? We got quick, is what. We learned to hide, is what. We can squeeze so flat that we can fit through gap no bigger than a coin. Really! I dare you, try it.
And we never skip a meal! What do we eat? What have you got? Rotting leaves, garbage glue, paper, leather...and if you like to eat dead things, I tell you, the world is your refrigerator! But just don’t offer me a cucumber or plastics!
Once humans came along, we went everywhere humans went. In ships, on planes, in came packs across the desert Roach road trin! We even followed them to space! That’s Uncle Anton. He hid on board the Apollo capsule---he was so mad when they just came right back to earth.
You can't have too many roaches. I say. Now there are 4.000 species of us: Asian, American. German....hope you get to meet them all someday.

She worked for some scientists trying to figure out ways to get rid of us...ha! Poison, radiation, heat, cold…whatever they throw at us, we just get tougher. Bring it on!
Aw, look. that's me just after my 15 brothers and sisters and I hatched(孵化) out from egg case. Yeah. I look pretty much the same. That’s another roach wonder--we skip the larva stage(幼虫期). Our eggs hatch all ready to roll! Still pretty cute, though.
Yep, that’s how we got to be the most successful species on the planet!
32. What may contribute to a roach’s success?

第二节 七选五（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you live in a place where most people speak the language you are learning, you may use the language for several hours each day. But you may not have these chances to practice English. You may even be self-taught.____36____It is not very difficult, but it does take effort and practice.
Think in single words.
___37___In your head, try to name each object in your surroundings. As you continue with this, it becomes more of a habit, so things are going to pop up into your head – computer, telephone, chair, and desk. Whatever it is, wherever you are. You can also do this at home when you wake up and before you go to sleep.
___38___
Another exercise is describing in your mind objects you don't know the words for. An example would be if you couldn't think of the word “garage,” Hinshaw says. “If you're looking at your house and you see your garage, but you can't think of the name in English. You can say, 'The place inside where I put my car.”
Think in sentences.
The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, “It's such a beautiful day” and “People are playing sports with their friends.”___39___
Describe your day.
Another exercise experts suggest is to describe your daily activities. You can mentally make plans in the morning when you wake up. ___40___So the skill level is a little higher.
A. Describe unknown words.
B. Guess the meaning of a new word.
C. This would require future verb tenses.
D. A good first step is to think in individual words.
E. Hinshaw says doing this can help learners of any language.
F. Once this becomes easy, you can move on to more difficult sentences.
G. The good news is that thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency!

I lived in the State of Texas, where sudden storms often happened every year. Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky. After lunch, Papa headed out to the field to check on the cattle while Mama started dinner. Everything seemed peaceful. Faye and I played happily in the yard. The heat had been building since dawn. Suddenly the temperature dropped--- it felt good.
Then Mama shouted from the house, “Iris, you and Faye get inside, read quick now!”
I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust, like thick smoke from a railway engine’s chimney. All the birds flew away. The stop lights nearby weren't working because of a power failure.
“Faye, go with Mama!” I shouted. “I’ll warn Papa.”
Faye ran toward the house. The storm hit so fast that I hardly saw her climb the steps. In a short time, the day turned into night. I screamed for Papa, hoping my voice would lead him back. But I couldn’t hear or see him at all.
Some poor house roofs were blown off, and small trees down. I thought a terrible storm was on the way and the scene was “the worst I've seen in several years.” The dirt and sand stung(刺痛) my face like a thousand bees. I needed to get to shelter. Covering my face with one hand, I made my way toward the car and opened the door. Dirt flew in with me as I pulled the door closed. Papa was still out somewhere! I needed to help him find the car.
I searched the dashboard (仪表板) and found the switch for the front lights. They made some rays, but would Papa see them in the thick darkness? I pushed the horn (喇叭) again and again, hoping Papa would hear it.
Suddenly, Papa’s face appeared at the window.

Papa shut off the car’s lights and I worried the dirt would bury us.

Sorry to know that you are separated and live alone in America. I'm writing to convey my concern to you.

【答案】Suddenly, Papa’s face appeared at the window. My heart jumped with surprise and relief. He opened the door and climbed onto the seat next to me. He coughed and wiped his eyes with dirty hands, then pulled me into his arms. “Oh, Iris, you’re safe.” I hugged Papa and cried. I could feel the tears streaming down my dirty cheeks. Papa looked into my face. “Your mother and Faye?” I said, “They are in the house.” Papa nodded, “Good. We’ll wait out the storm there.”
Papa shut off the car’s lights and I worried the dirt would bury us. Luckily, the wind died down and the dust started to settle. Papa kicked against the door, opening it far enough to let us out. We went home as Mama dashed out. “Mum!” I shouted and ran into her arms. “Oh, my precious Iris!” Mama cried. “You and Papa are safe!” “I’m safe thanks to Iris,” Papa said. “The car’s horn led me to shelter.” “I’m so proud of you,” Mum said to me. I cried even more, with tears of joy because my family had survived the horrible storm.
