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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
In the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.
A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging but invisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.
Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box, designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.
According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines come in miniature sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.
Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations, the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.
“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”
Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.
When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box...”
1. Why is the famous saying in the film Forrest Gump quoted at the beginning?
A. To arouse the readers’ interest. B. To present the writer’s view.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To highlight the fun of blind boxes.
2. Which of the following is the main feature that makes blind box so popular?
A. Miniature sizes. B. Cute appearances.
C. Fear of the unknown. D. Mystery and uncertainty.
3. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Blind box became popular in 2019 after being first introduced from Japan to China.
B. Blind box toys typically originated in pop culture, varying from movies to cartoons.
C. Blind box toys was designed and named by Hong Kong-born Kasing Lung.
D. When people open this simple little box, they will feel disappointed.
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了起源于流行文化的盲盒玩具因为其神秘性和不确定性可以为人们带来惊喜。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“In the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.”可知，1994 年的电影《阿甘正传》中有一句名言：“生活就像一盒巧克力，你永远不知道下一块会是什么味道。” 惊喜是乐趣的一部分。现在盲盒玩具正在为网上购物带来惊喜的魔力。由此可知，作者引用电影台词开头的目的是为读者引入篇章话题。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的“Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations, the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another. ”可知，即使盲盒不是他们装饰的首选，但打开盒子的过程的神秘性和不确定性也吸引了人们。这是人们一个接一个地购买盲盒的主要原因。由此可知，神秘性和不确定性是使盲盒如此受欢迎的主要特点。故选D。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging but invisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.”可知，盲盒玩具隐藏在统一的包装内，但从外面看不到。尽管玩具通常来自流行文化，涵盖电影、漫画和卡通之类的东西，但你并不知道里面会有什么。由此可知，盲盒玩具通常起源于流行文化，从电影到卡通之类的都有。故选B。
B
Over the years, I’ve been guilty of hastily shutting the front door to many strangers when they came knocking with the intention of selling things. But earlier this year, around Easter time, a dear friend of mine had an experience that changed my mind and perception towards these “intruders”.
Linda, who recently moved to a new neighbour hood, had been housebound all week suffering from a severe case of flu when, early one morning, there was the terrible knock on her front door. Peering out the window, she saw two young ladies demurely (端庄地) holding leaflets and a TV set model. She knew of a large TV set establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered. “This is the last thing I need today,” she muttered to herself and hesitantly opened the door.
Coughing, she poked her head out and impatiently informed them she wasn’t the slightest bit interested in any TV whatsoever. Furthermore, she added, she was feeling quite unwell and abruptly shut the door. The ladies politely turned and left in silence.
A few hours later, another knock. Linda glanced out the window and to her surprise, there were the same two ladies, back again. Really annoyed this time, she opened the door ready to give them a piece of her mind. Before she could speak, with concerned looks on their faces, these women handed Linda what looked to be a dish, saying, “We’re so sorry we disturbed you earlier. We thought you may like this homemade chicken soup. Hopefully it might make you feel a little better.”
Linda was taken aback by this lovely gesture. Being new to the area, she didn’t know many neighbours or people who could assist her with shopping or errands (跑腿) so the gesture was all the more appreciated. She could only smile sheepishly and sincerely thanked them. With that, the ladies left.
After she related this story to me, I thought about how touching this deed really was. Especially in today’s world where sadly, kindness and thoughtfulness seem so rare. I also realized that thinking about others and showing kindness is the real essence of love.
4. What does the expression “give them a piece of her mind” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Scold them severely. B. Drive them away.
C. Refuse them directly. D. Speak out her idea.
5. What can be learned about Linda from the passage?
A. Linda always hastily shut the front door to many people.
B. Linda was not a little interested in any TV whatsoever.
C. Linda was very grateful to the ladies for their chicken soup.
D. Linda would buy their TV set in reward for the ladies’ chicken soup.
6. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. A Chicken Soup B. Soup for the soul
C. The Real Essence of Love D. A Friend’s experience
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Linda搬到一个新的住处后，她认识的人不多。在生病期间，两位陌生女士带来了鸡汤看望她，使得她内心感到了温暖。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线部分之前的“Really annoyed this time”可知，Linda这次真的很生气。结合划线部分之后的“Before she could speak(还没等她开口)”可知，Linda很生气要说些什么，因此A选项（狠狠地责备他们）可以解释划线部分。根据第三段的“she impatiently informed them she wasn’t the slightest bit interested in any TV whatsoever. Furthermore, she added, she was feeling quite unwell and abruptly shut the door.”可知，她不耐烦地告诉她们，她对任何电视都没有丝毫兴趣。此外，她补充说，她感觉很不舒服，突然关上了门，因此C项（直接拒绝她们）作为Linda的第二次回应不合适。B项（赶走她们）没有体现出Linda要说什么的意味；D项（说出她的想法）很笼统，不合乎语境。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Linda was taken aback by this lovely gesture. Being new to the area, she didn’t know many neighbours or people who could assist her with shopping or errands so the gesture was all the more appreciated. She could only smile sheepishly and sincerely thanked them. ”可知，Linda被这个充满爱意的举动吓了一跳。她来到这里时间不长，她认识的邻居不多，能帮她买东西或者跑腿的人也不多，所以她对这个举动格外地感激。她只能害羞地笑笑，真诚的向他们道谢。由此可知，Linda非常感谢两位女士带来的鸡汤。故选C。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的“Coughing, she poked her head out and impatiently informed them she wasn’t the slightest bit interested in any TV whatsoever. Furthermore, she added, she was feeling quite unwell and abruptly shut the door.”可知，她一边咳嗽着，一边探出头来，不耐烦地告诉她们，她对任何电视都没有丝毫兴趣。此外，她补充说，她感觉很不舒服，突然关上了门。由此可知，Linda第一次见到她们时对她们很是反感。根据上一题的分析可知，Linda非常感谢两位女士带来的鸡汤（soup），初来乍到的她内心（soul）感到了温暖，这体现出Linda态度的变化。因此结合选项可知，Soup for the soul(心灵鸡汤)可以作为标题。故选B。
C
“We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds... Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth.” These are the words of the famous scientist Stephen Hawking, spoken at a science festival in Norway in 2017, a year before his death.
Hawking was not alone in this view. Many experts feel that the only way for humanity to last far into the future is to colonize other planets. That way, if an asteroid, a terrible disease, nuclear war, or some other disaster strikes Earth, civilization as we know it would still have a chance. Mars is one of the most tempting destinations. NASA, the United Arab Emirates, the private company SpaceX, and the organization Mars One all have plans to send humans there. “Either we spread Earth to other planets, or we risk going extinct, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said at a conference in 2013.
But not everyone agrees that colonizing Mars or any other planet is such a great plan. The most common argument against going is that it’s just too expensive or dangerous. It will take huge amounts of money and other resources just to get people there, let alone set up a place for them to live. It’s not even clear if humans could survive on Mars. One of the biggest dangers there is deadly radiation that bombards the planet.
Maybe all the time and money people would pour into a Mars mission would be better spent on more urgent projects here on Earth, like dealing with poverty or climate change. Some experts argue that handling a problem like an asteroid strike or disease outbreak while staying here on Earth would be much easier and less expensive than surviving on a new planet.
In addition, moving to a new planet could harm or destroy anything that already lives there. Mars seems uninhabited, but it could possibly host microbial life. Human visitors may destroy this life or permanently change or damage the Martian environment. Some feel that’s too much of a risk to take.
What do you think? Should humans colonize outer space or stay home?
7. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Many experts insist that humans should take the risk.
B. Mars is the most attractive destinations for human beings.
C. Hawking firmly believes the only way to save humans is moving to Mars.
D. All the other experts don’t agree with Hawking’s idea.
8. Why do some experts disagree with the plan to colonize Mars?
A. It will cost much more money to settle on Mars than on Earth.
B. It is too long a distance from the Earth to the Mars.
C. Human visitors will bring diseases to Martian environment.
D. The deadly radiation that bombards the planet is the biggest danger.
9. What’s the writing purpose of the passage?
A. To raise people’s awareness of protecting the environment.
B. To present different opinions on whether to move to the Mars.
C. To arouse readers’ reflection on whether to colonize outer space.
D. To inspire people to deal with the environmental problems.
10. In which section of a magazine is the passage most likely from?
A. Fiction. B. Current affairs. C. Social Studies. D. Science.
【答案】7. D 8. A 9. C 10. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。主要介绍了有些专家认为为了人类和人类文明的延续，人类应该离开地球，移民去其他星球，尤其是去火星。而一些人认为这样的计划不仅昂贵而且危险，甚至还会破坏火星的生态。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“But not everyone agrees that colonizing Mars or any other planet is such a great plan.(但并不是所有人都同意殖民火星或其他星球是一个伟大的计划)”可推知，不是所有的专家都同意霍金的想法。故选D。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The most common argument against going is that it’s just too expensive or dangerous. It will take huge amounts of money and other resources just to get people there, let alone set up a place for them to live.(最常见的反对理由是它太昂贵或太危险了。光是把人们送到那里就需要大量的资金和其他资源，更不用说为他们建立一个居住的地方了)”可知，一些专家不同意殖民火星的计划因为在火星上定居要比在地球上花费更多的钱。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds... Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth.” These are the words of the famous scientist Stephen Hawking, spoken at a science festival in Norway in 2017, a year before his death.(“我们正在耗尽空间，唯一可以去的地方是其他世界…… 扩散可能是唯一能拯救我们的办法。我坚信人类必须离开地球。”2017年，著名科学家史蒂芬·霍金去世前一年，在挪威的一个科学节上说了这句话)”以及最后一段“What do you think? Should humans colonize outer space or stay home?(你觉得呢？人类应该殖民外太空还是待在地球？)”结合文章主要介绍了有些专家认为为了人类和人类文明的延续，人类应该离开地球，移民去其他星球，尤其是去火星。而一些人认为这样的计划不仅昂贵而且危险，甚至还会破会火星的生态。可推知，这篇文章的写作目的是引起读者对是否要殖民外太空的思考。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章主要介绍了有些专家认为为了人类和人类文明的延续，人类应该离开地球，移民去其他星球，尤其是去火星。而一些人认为这样的计划不仅昂贵而且危险，甚至还会破会火星的生态。可推知，这篇文章最有可能出自杂志的“科学”部分。故选D。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
When you think of life skills, you typically think of things like cooking or fixing broken objects. These sorts of skills help regulate the environment around you. ____11____ In other words, there are skills you can learn to help manage difficult emotions.
Take responsibility
When I wasa child, I often accused my brother of making me mad. My mom was quick to correct me. “He can’t make you mad,’’ she would say. “He just does things, and you choose how your espond.’’ Although people sometimes try to annoy us, each of us is responsible for our own reaction. We can choose how we interpret the actions of others and whether we will act on how we feel. ____12____ Fear, for example, is a common feeling that can sometimes cause trouble. Learning to do things that we’re afraid of is an important part of becoming mature.
____13____.
On the other hand, we also don’t have direct control over our feelings. If we’re sad, we can’t suddenly decide to be happy and create positive feelings using pure willpower. ____14____ These thoughts and actions will eventually guide our emotions. Choosing to smile even if you don’t feel happy can create happy feelings. Concentrating on good things in life works the same way.
Recognize others’ feelings
Another set of skills related to emotions involves recognizing other people’s feelings. Just as other people can’t force us to feel things, we also can’t control what others feel. ____15____ This involves reading their facial expressions. But it’s also helpful to think about how we would feel in the other person’s circumstances. If we know how other people feel, we will be better able to help them handle their feelings.
Feelings can be difficult to handle, so managing them is an important life skill.
A. Guide our feelings
B. Concentrate on good things
C. And we should learn to control our feelings.
D. This also applies to other emotions besides anger.
E. But it can be helpful to recognize other people’s emotions.
F. Instead, we have to change what we think about and how we act.
G. But skills that help regulate what’s going on inside of you are equally important.
【答案】11. G 12. D 13. A 14. F 15. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章作者就“学习一些技巧来帮助管理困难的情绪”这一问题，给出了一些建议。
【11题详解】
根据上文“These sorts of skills help regulate the environment around you. ”（这些技能有助于调节你周围的环境）和下文“In other words, there are skills you can learn to help manage difficult emotions.”（换句话说，你可以学习一些技巧来帮助管理困难的情绪）可知该空提出另外一类技能，G选项“但帮助调节你内心的技能也同样重要”切题，选项中的“skills”对应上下文中的“skills”，选项中的“regulate”对应上文中的“regulate”，故选G。
【12题详解】
根据上文“We can choose how we interpret the actions of others and whether we will act on how we feel. ”（我们可以选择如何解读他人的行为，以及我们是否会按照自己的感受行事）和下文“Fear, for example, is a common feeling that can sometimes cause trouble.”（例如，恐惧是一种常见的感觉，有时会引起麻烦）该空对上文进行补充，下文是对该空的具体举例说明，D选项“这也适用于除了愤怒之外的其他情绪”切题，选项中的“anger”对应前文中的“annoy”，故选D。
【13题详解】
该空为段落小标题，根据下文“On the other hand, we also don’t have direct control over our feelings. If we’re sad, we can’t suddenly decide to be happy and create positive feelings using pure willpower. ”（另一方面，我们也无法直接控制自己的情感。 如果我们悲伤，我们不可能突然决定快乐起来，并仅仅依靠意志力来创造积极的感觉）和“These thoughts and actions will eventually guide our emotions. Choosing to smile even if you don’t feel happy can create happy feelings. Concentrating on good things in life works the same way.”（这些想法和行动最终会引导我们的情绪。 即使你不开心也要选择微笑，这会让你产生快乐的感觉。 同样的道理，专注于生活中美好的事物）可知本段主要讲了指导我们的感情，A选项切题，与下文中的“guide our emotions”为词义复现，故选A。
【14题详解】
根据上文“If we’re sad, we can’t suddenly decide to be happy and create positive feelings using pure willpower. ”（如果我们悲伤，我们不可能突然决定快乐起来，并仅仅依靠意志力来创造积极的感觉）和下文“These thoughts and actions will eventually guide our emotions.”（这些想法和行动最终会引导我们的情绪）可知该空提出一种实际的做法，下文对不正确的想法和行为方式所造成的结果进行分析，F选项“相反，我们必须改变我们的想法和行为方式”切题，选项中的“what we think about and how we act”对应下文中的“These thoughts and actions”，故选F。
【15题详解】
本段的标题为“Recognize others’ feelings”（识别他人的感受），E选项“但是识别他人的情绪是有帮助的”与该标题话题一致，选项中的“recognize other people’s emotions”对应标题“Recognize others’ feelings”，故选E。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了全球变暖现状，以及应对全球变暖我们可以做些什么。
【36题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：全球变暖是人类今天面临的最严重的问题之一。One of+形容词最高级+可数名词复数，表示“最……之一”，由此可知，空处名词需用复数。故填problems。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：全球变暖是由人类活动造成的，特别是化石燃料的燃烧，产生更多的二氧化碳并将热能捕获到大气中，导致全球气温上升。分析句子结构可知，空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是the burning of fossil fuels，指物，关系词在定语从句中作主语，所以空处需用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词caused，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语，空处动词cause与主句主语it(全球变暖)之间是主动关系，所以空处需用现在分词作结果状语。故填causing。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：因此，是时候我们采取行动来找到解决这个问题的办法了。根据前一句“Scientists believe global warming may result in severe consequences like the rise of the sea level and the increase of natural disasters.(科学家们认为，全球变暖可能会导致海平面上升和自然灾害增加等严重后果。)”可知，前一句是本句的原因，前后表示因果关系，所以空处需用副词thus/therefore“因此”，句首首字母需大写。故填Therefore/Thus。
【40题详解】
考查虚拟语气。句意：同上。It is high time that 主语+should do/动词的一般过去时，意为“该是做某事的时候了。”，固定句型，本句型是一种特殊的虚拟语气句型。故填took/should take。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：同上。 solutions to…“……的解决方案”，固定搭配。故填to。
【42题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：作为个人，我们应该尽我们所能在家里减少能源。本句已有谓语动词try，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语，结合句意可知，空处需用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to reduce。
【43题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：此外，吃当地的食物，因为长途运输需要消耗大量的能量。根据上下文可知，本文介绍的全球变暖现象，陈述事实，谓语动词需用一般现在时态，因为能源被消耗，所以空处需用一般现在时态的被动语态：be done，主语是不可数名词energy，所以空处be动词需用is。故填is used。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：最重要的是，作为一名教育者，帮助在你的社区唤起人们的节能意识，使我们的世界成为一个更美好的地方。空处需用副词作状语修饰整个句子，most importantly更重要的是，固定搭配。故填importantly。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：同上。空处需用不定冠词a/an泛指一名教育者， educator是以元音音素开头的单词，所以空处需用不定冠词an。故填an。

第二节：概要写作（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
“A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on.” This quote is from Mark Twain. In today’s Internet world of “fake news”, lies spread even faster and the truth is having trouble finding its boots.
To make matters worse, most young people get news from special media sites where facts are mixed with rumors, half-truths and complete lies. This has led to young people becoming confused. In the latest PISA(Programme For International Student Assessment), which tested 15-year-olds worldwide on academic subjects, fewer than one in ten of the participants were reported to be able to tell fact from opinion. A Stanford University study showed that students at all levels of education could not tell real news from fake news. In one instance, 80 percent thought that apaid advertisement was a real news story.
Fake news is spread by people who have a prejudice. They want to influence public opinion either for or against something or someone. It is important, then, for young people to recognize when they are being used and to be skeptical of online information.
Traditional media, such as newspapers and television, are still the more reliable sources of information. Reporters are professionally trained to look for facts, and editors have the job of making sure those facts are correct. However, if you are getting most of your information online, you have to be your own editor. In that case, the first thing to do is to look at the writer of a post. Is this person known to be credible? Does the site where you read the post have a prejudice? Next, look for other sources from mainstream media to confirm the information. In other words, by putting on your truth boots you won’t be fooled into chasing lies.
【答案】One Possible Version
Fake news spreads faster than real ones, especially by Internet. And certain media sites, mixing facts and rumors, make it difficult for young people to distinguish truth from lies. Therefore, young people should be cautious about being used by prejudiced fake news spreaders. To get real news, people are advised to choose traditional media which are more professional or to judge, check and confirm the news while getting it online.
