第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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
Like in any good action movie, the villains(反派角色) often wait for a high-profile event to perform their big, evil plans.
The COVID-19 pandemic is that event—and unfortunately, cyber criminals are taking advantage of it. COVID-19-related scams and cyber attacks are on the rise. To keep yourself, your family and your devices safe, it's important to stay aware of what's out there and know how to avoid it.
What to watch out for
Phishing
Phishing messages are emails and text messages designed to trick you into giving up information or clicking a link that could infect your device.
COVID-19-related phishing attempts, particularly those pretending to be from healthcare organizations, are becoming more and more common.
Malware
Malware is malicious software designed to infiltrate（潜入）or damage a device. With many people working from home during COVID-19, cyber criminals are looking for new opportunities.
False or misleading information
It might be a phrase you are tired of hearing, but “fake news” is always out there. And in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, it's more important than ever to know what is true and what is false.
What you can do
Protect your password
Creating a strong password is a quick and easy way to prevent cyber criminals from accessing your accounts. Follow these tips to create a stronger password.
·Use at least eight characters
·Use a combination of upper- and lower-case letters and at least one number
· Include at least one character that isn't a letter or number, like ! , # or $
·Use a series of letters that only make sense to you, like the first letters of each word in a sentence
Once you've created a strong password, remember to never share it with anyone. Ever.
Enable multi-factor authentication(多重验证)
A strong password is great. But enabling multi-factor authentication can add an additional layer of security to your accounts.
Multi-factor authentication uses two or more authentication factors to authenticate your identity, like a fingerprint, a connected device or a security question, so a potential cyber criminal can't get in—even if they guess your password.
Update your software and OS
Software updates don't just provide cool new features. They also fix any security issues and help you protect your devices against new threats.
Whenever possible, turn automatic updates on for your operating system(OS), software and apps. If automatic updates aren't an option, be sure to install updates as soon as they are available.
21. What do Phishing and Malware have in common?
A. They spread fake news.
B. They are illegal software.
C. They are intended to damage devices.
D. They are directed at healthcare organizations.
22. According to the author, help Jasmin choose a strong password.
A. jasmin1 B. ! Jasmin C. jsm#2021 D. 2021_Jsm
23. What can we learn from the measures to avoid cyber crimes?
A. Keep your software and apps updated to ensure your device security.
B. A security question is more effective against threats than a fingerprint.
C. Think twice about turning automatic updates on for your OS and apps.
D. Share your password with close friends in case you should forget it.
B
China's Yungang Grottoes(石窟) will complete the scanning of all the caves in five years，paving the way for the creation of digital versions that can withstand weathering and other real-world damage.
So far, the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Shanxi Province has completed three-dimensional scans of one-third of its Buddhist grottoes, according to the Yungang Grottoes Research Institute.“We are racing against time，”said Ning Bo, director of the institute’s digitalization office, “Weathering is like cancer to grottoes, eating away at the sculptures year by year. Few technologies can prevent such progressive damage.”
Using three-dimensional laser(激光) scanning and multiplanar（多平面） reconstruction, the institute is working to capture the shapes, colors and other fine details of the grottoes and create millimeter-level digital archives for future study and preservation. “We hope to preserve the grottoes in digital form as much as possible, so people in the future will still have access to the information even if the grottoes fade away.” Ning said, adding that the digitalization will also allow the public to “visit” the grottoes more easily on their computer screens.
The digitalization project, which began in 2003 at the grottoes, still faces challenges posed by the cave’s enormous sizes, complicated structures and exquisite sculptures, according to the institute. “The Yungang Grottoes were built into a mountain, and so our team is actually scanning structures as huge as a mountain. Besides, the inner structures vary wildly from exotic domes to traditional Chinese architecture.” said the director.
The Yungang Grottoes, located in the city of Datong, has 45 major caves and more than 59,000 stone statues. With a grotto complex stretching about 1 kilometer from east to west, it is one of the largest ancient grottoes in the country.
24. What does Ning Bo mean by saying “racing against time”?
A. He is dying because of a severe disease.
B. It is not an easy job to scan the grottoes.
C. Scanning the grottoes is an urgent task.
D. There is a deadline required by UNESCO.
25. Why is the Yungang Grottoes being scanned?
A. To preserve them for future generations.
B. To carry out a scientific experiment.
C. To keep them from being damaged.
D. To capture details of the grottoes.
26. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The influence of the project.
B. The beauty of the grottoes.
C. The difficulties facing the team.
D. The structures of the statues.
27. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Education. B. Culture. C. Technology. D. Opinion.
C
In the UK, people have a reputation for being somewhat lazy when it comes to learning a second language. However, our research suggests learning a new language is beneficial to our brain.
To put language learning to the test, my colleagues and I teamed up with Dr Thomas Bak, a professor, and Antonella Sorace, a leading expert in language, both from the University of Edinburgh. We recruited 20 volunteers who had never tried to learn Spanish before and enrolled them on a language course taught by Lingo Flamingo, a non-profit organization.
Over four weeks, our volunteers attended classes three times a week, for two hours at a time, and had homework to complete. Before and after the course, they undertook cognitive(认知的) tests measuring attention, memory and mental flexibility. Volunteers had also been carefully selected according to their age so that we could compare the effect of language learning on older and younger people.
After the four-week course, there was an overall improvement for everyone in the cognitive tests. However, when we looked at the two age groups, the older participants had improved more than the younger ones. This is consistent with previous research, which showed that language learning led to improvements regardless of age, and that older people could improve even more over the same period of time.
The other interesting thing discovered in our experiment was that these improvements did not depend on how good our volunteers were at speaking Spanish. In the four weeks when we ran our study, none of our volunteers became fluent, but they did practice regularly, and this was enough to give them the cognitive benefits. This reinforces(加强) what Thomas and Antonella have found in other research—that practice is more important than proficiency, and that consistent practice means the cognitive benefits are maintained.
What's more, as well as offering cognitive improvements, there are other benefits that learning a new language can offer, both to our social life and our confidence.
28. What can we know about the 20 volunteers?
A. They couldn’t speak Spanish before the study.
B. They are from the University of Edinburgh.
C. They attended the course three hours a week.
D. They paid much money for language learning.
29. Why were the volunteers chosen according to age?
A. To compare different people’s learning abilities.
B. To see the effect of language learning on two age groups.
C. To make it convenient for teachers to instruct them.
D. To guarantee they can communicate more easily.
30. What mainly contributes to cognitive improvements according to the study?
A. Confidence in language learning.
B. Excellent fluency in Spanish.
C. Language learners’ social life.
D. Regular language practice.
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Learning a new language improves your brain.
B. It is possible to learn a new language at any age.
C. The elderly benefit more from language learning.
D. Cognitive abilities are improved through learning.
D
Hundreds of native North American plants, often dismissed as weeds, deserve a lot more respect, according to a new study. These plants, distant cousins of foods like cranberries and pumpkins, actually represent a botanical treasure now facing increased threat from climate change, habitat loss and invasive species.
The crops that the human race now depends on, including grains like wheat and tree fruit like peaches, originally were selected or bred(培育) from plants that grew wild hundreds or thousands of years ago. And those ancestral plants like the small wild sunflowers that can be found across the United States, still exist. “If you see them growing along roadsides, those are the ancestors,” says Colin Khoury, a research scientist at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture. Khoury says wild lettuce(莴苣) plants grow along roads, or in backyards, but go unrecognized. “They look nothing like lettuce,” he says. “They are scratchy, thorny, little and ugly.”
Khoury loves these wild relatives of food crops, not just for emotional reasons. “These wild plants are of great value,” he says. That wild sunflower, for instance, can survive in a salty environment that would kill most plants. So plant breeders cross- pollinate(使异花传粉) it with commercial sunflowers and create new varieties that can grow in places where the soil contains more salt. Other wild relatives may be hiding similarly remarkable gifts, Khoury says, such as genes that could help their domesticated(家养的) relatives survive diseases, deal with pests, or adapt to disruptions in the climate.
Khoury and some of his colleagues just finished a survey of about 600 wild crop relatives that grow in North America, and published it this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. They found that the survival chances for most of these plants are being undermined because of things like fires, farming and commercial development. The scientists argue that these endangered species deserve more protection. “It’s more just being aware that these plants actually exist,” Khoury says. “They need protection.”
32. What is the characteristic of wild lettuce plants?
A. They can be commonly seen. B. They look the same as lettuce.
C. They are selected from grains. D. They are smooth and beautiful.
33. Why does Colin Khoury consider wild relatives of food crops valuable?
A. They can improve soil quality.
B. They can slow down climate change.
C. They can kill most dangerous wild plants.
D. They can help with domesticated plants’ growth.
34. Which of the following best explains the underlined word in the last paragraph?
A. Assessed. B. Destroyed. C. Obtained. D. Offered.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Distant Cousins of Food Crops Are What We Really Need
B. Scientists Have Found a New Way to Increase Our Food Crops
C. Wild Relatives of Food Crops Deserve Respect and Protection
D. Everyone Should Take Action to Protect Botanical Treasures

You've seen other people flying kites, watching their paper creations float up into the clouds on a windy day. 36 Kite flying isn't hard and it's a lot of fun!
The first step is to get a kite and find a large, open area. Then wait for a nice windy day. 37 Otherwise, kites can get hung up on either of them. Parks with lots of grass and beaches are both great places to try kite flying.
If you have a friend to help you, have one person hold the kite while the other person holds the spool(线轴) of string. The one with the kite should hold it overhead in both hands and throw it lightly up into the wind. If the wind is strong enough, it will catch the kite and lift it up, pulling the string tight. 38 Then you need to let out some string and have your friend run with the kite behind him or her. With this added burst of speed, the kite should fly.
Once the wind catches your kite, start letting out string, little by little. 39 It's somewhere between fifty and a hundred feet overhead. Spread your legs to keep yourself firmly rooted to the ground, and hold the spool with both hands. If it flies too high, you can reel(卷) in the string a little.
40 When the kite is close to the ground, have someone catch it so it doesn't get torn or broken. Wind up the rest of your string and keep your kite safe until the next time you're ready to fly it.
A. To finish flying, reel in the kite slowly.
B. As you fly your kite, keep an eye on it.
C. Are you ready to give it a try yourself?
D. Keep going till your kite is at the height you want.
E. Your perfect location shouldn’t have any trees or power lines.
F. Keep flying your kite until you feel it’s safe in the wind again.
G. This works well on windy days, but what if the wind isn't strong enough
to catch your kite?

We live in a fast-paced and anxiety-filled world that oftentimes seems to shift beneath our feet. Thus, we are sometimes affected by 41 or anxiety impacting our life. For as long as I could remember I had 42 with anxiety.
After graduating from university, I made friends with the Moroccan woman at work. One day, she invited me to visit her and her family back home. I wanted to; 43 , for a girl who had never been out of the UK alone in the past 23 years, it meant that I would have to travel in a very 44 area by myself for the first time in my life.

I remember how good it felt the minute I set foot in Morocco.
48 arrival, my friend’s family arranged a(n) 49 welcome party and everyone was so loving toward me. Such a moment of love felt in a distant rural village 50 me that I was “good enough” or I deserved to be treated like a star, which 51 helped to relieve my anxiety.
It was after I woke up the next day, in the morning light, that I was 52 by how underdeveloped the area was—and the realization that these people had very few 53 . Electronic items like smart phones, computer games are nearly 54 to be found.
In the days afterwards, under the guidance of my friend, I traveled around Morocco, 55 the rivers, mountains and the amazing food(most of them were new to me). It seemed that I had never felt so 56 to nature as well as the people around me before.
At the end of my stay, something 57 me changed. From dawn to dusk, I was immersed in a sense of delight 58 depression for nearly two weeks.
That trip helped me to find out what really 59 in life. And with that, all my worries disappeared. When I returned home I was much more active in challenging my anxiety. More importantly, helping others 60 their anxiety is how I can share the love I found in Morocco.

One Possible Version
Dear Joe,
I’m more than delighted to know that you intended to visit China for the World University Games. However, it is a pity that the activity, which was scheduled to take place in Chengdu this year, is postponed to next year due to the epidemic.
As we can see, with the epidemic spreading wildly in some areas of the globe, to ensure the security of all the participants must come first. And there is no need for us to feel down about the delay, because we can hold a firm belief that people around the world will bring the disease under control soon with joint efforts. In addition, given one more year, Chengdu can get better prepared, so that you can have a better experience of enjoying the grand activity.
I sincerely invite you to visit China next year and I’m longing for the day when we watch the game together!
