The following figures made a great difference to the world,but have you heard of their graduation speeches,in which they either share their unforgotten experiences or give you some great inspiration?
Michael Dell,University of Texas at Austin
Congratulations!You all accomplished something great and important here,and it’s time for you to move on to what’s next.You must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps...You must also be committed to the adventure.Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you’ve been blessed with,and then advance.
J.K.Rowling,Harvard University
Half my lifetime ago,I was striking an unstable balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty,but failure.The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure; you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.
Steve Jobs,Stanford University
Sometimes life is going to hit you on the head with a brick.Don’t lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life,and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work,and the only way to do great work is to love what you do.If you haven’t found it yet,keep looking,and don’t settle.
Bill Gates,Harvard University
We need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another.They are making it possible not just for national governments,but for universities,smaller organizations,and even individuals to see problems,see approaches and deal with the world’s inequality like hunger,poverty,and so on.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了迈克尔·戴尔、J.K. 罗琳等名人的毕业演讲,有些名人分享了他们难忘的经历,有些讲述了对于人生的启示。

“Mommy,will you play this with me?” My two-year-old daughter sat next to a mountain of laundry baskets.She held a toy in her hand.I looked at her,and then I stared down a pile of dirty clothes—enough,already.I thought of some popular phrases among moms I had read countless times on the Internet.“Days are long but the years fly by.” “A messy house is a happy house.” “Hard work pays off.” I became energetic every time the phrases passed through my mind.
Sometimes,the laundry just needed to get done.I stared straight into my daughter’s pleading eyes.
“I’m sorry,sweetheart,but I cannot play right now.Mom is really busy.” Suddenly,an idea passed through my brain.I must do the housework!And that would not make me a bad mom!
Quite the opposite,I thought.
It’s okay to clean,to cook,or to spend a morning paying bills,making phone calls and folding towels.That’s what grown-ups do.And how else will our kids learn unless we demonstrate?Recently,I read an article about a local family.It was a diary of their typical week,written by the father of six children.Each day consisted of cooking and family devotions.The grandkids ran in the barn while the older children milked cows,and everyone helped make pies for the family bakery business.They were all faithfully devoted to one another as they worked side by side from dawn to dusk.
Could it be that the real call on a family is not for the parents to serve the children,but for everyone to serve each other for a greater purpose?Sometimes we work,and sometimes we play.Strong families are built with both.
“Sweetie,I have a great idea.” I set my daughter’s game on the table and held her hands.“You can help me put these clothes in the wash.Doesn’t that sound fun?” Her face lit up.“Can I push the buttons,too?” “Absolutely,you are a good button pusher.” “Yeah!” she said as if I had just asked her to play.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者受到当地一个家庭日记的影响,明白了父母应该教育孩子为家庭做贡献,这样才能建立牢固的家庭关系,因此作者主动提出让女儿帮着洗衣服。

School children are using mobile phone applications to do their homework,which seem to be increasing during summer vacations.But instead of blaming students for their behaviour,we should say no to too much homework.This is important because by using mobile phone applications to do their homework,students don’t add much to their knowledge,says an article in Guangzhou-based Yangcheng Evening News.Excerpts(摘录):Using mobile phone applications to do homework is no different from copying from someone else’s work.This is the opinion of a vast majority of teachers.Students who seek cell phone apps help to do their homework will pay dearly during major exams when they cannot seek the help of such applications,the teachers say.
The heavy load of homework Chinese students are burdened with—said to be the heaviest in the world—has led to the popularity of these applications.
Senior high school students in China rarely go to bed before 11 pm.A report in Shanghai published recently showed that students in the city on average spend 28.2 hours in class every week,the 9th highest among 65 countries and regions surveyed.Also,they spend an average of 13.8 hours a week doing homework,most in the world.
There is no association between the amount of homework one does and the amount of knowledge one gathers.In fact,research by Australian experts shows that the result is exactly the opposite:the more hours students spend doing homework,the less effective they will be in gaining knowledge.
The United States is one of the countries where students do little homework,but that has not damaged the country’s academic status in the world.So,it’s time that Chinese schools understood this fact and freed students of the unnecessary burden of homework.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国学生求助辅导软件以应对沉重的家庭作业负担的现象。基于家庭作业量与知识掌握之间并无必然联系的研究结论,作者呼吁学校给学生减负。
28.What’s the writer’s attitude toward the students’ using mobile phone applications to do their homework?
A.Supportive.
B.Understandable.
C.Critical.
D.Doubtful.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But instead of blaming students for their behaviour,we should say no to too much homework.(但不要指责学生们的这种行为,我们似乎更应该对太多的家庭作业说不。)”可知,作者认为学生利用手机软件做家庭作业的做法是可以理解的。故选B项。
29.What is the cause of the students’ using mobile phone applications to do their homework?
A.The heavy burden of homework.
B.The advance of modern technology.
C.The pressure of the students’ parents.
D.The influence of other countries.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The heavy load of homework Chinese students are burdened with—said to be the heaviest in the world—has led to the popularity of these applications.(中国学生身上的家庭作业负担,据说是世界上最重的。这催生了这些辅导软件大量出现。)”可知,是家庭作业负担过重导致学生使用辅导软件。故选A项。
30.What does the underlined phrase “pay dearly” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Be rewarded.
B.Provide much money.
C.Be dismissed.
D.Suffer a lot.
答案D
解析词义猜测题。根据下文“during major exams when they cannot seek the help of such applications,the teachers say”可知,过于依赖辅导软件,导致学生在考试时无法借助外在工具,就会吃苦头,无法独立完成好试卷解答。故选D项。
31.Which of the following is probably the best title?
A.Free Kids of the Burden of Homework
B.Spend Less Time to Gain Much Knowledge
C.Stop Using Mobile Phones to Do Homework
D.Improve China’s Academic Status in the World
答案A
解析主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“So,it’s time that Chinese schools understood this fact and freed students of the unnecessary burden of homework.(所以,现在中国的各级学校应该了解这个事实,并且减轻学生身上不必要的家庭作业负担。)”可知,作者呼吁我们的学校减轻学生作业负担。故选A项。
D
The pace of today’s working life blurs(使模糊)the line between personal time and work time,and it increasingly mixes personal lifestyle and work style.And as companies are trying hard to attract and keep young people for their technical skills and enthusiasm for change,office culture is becoming an extension of youth culture.This may not be a bad thing.For most of human history the middle-aged have ruled,but in the future,they will have to share power with fresh-faced youths.
There have been a number of reasons for this change and the most dramatic of these is technology.Children have always been more expert than their parents at something,but usually a game or a fashion,not the century’s most important business tool.The Internet has started the first industrial revolution in history to be led by the young.Though there have been youth revolutions before,none of them made a big change the way the Internet has.Throughout the 20th century,if a young person wanted to enter an American company they needed to leave their youth behind.They got a haircut,and probably a suit or at least a tie.Now the same hair,same clothes,even nearly the same hours apply to office and home.
If it had not been for the Internet,this change could not have happened.However,it did not happen because of the Internet only; the corporate restructurings(公司重组) of the 1980s and 90s broke down traditional hierarchies(等级制度).In many companies,seniority-based(基于资历的)hierarchies have been replaced by hierarchies based on performance.The abilities to please your superiors are no longer the most valued skills.Today’s employees stay with companies only as long as they feel challenged and rewarded; moving from a job to another job is now a sign of ambition.
The rise of the young is a good thing,because it gives them more opportunity to put their ideas and energy into practice at their most creative stage in life.Nowadays youth and youth qualities seem to dominate,but the experience and maturity of older employees should be put to good use,too.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明年轻人的崛起是好事,因为他们的创新能力可以得到很好的利用。
32.In the 20th century,to enter an American company,a young person needed to .
A.work in the office and at home
B.have an eye-catching hairstyle
C.dress in the business style
D.leave the business tool behind
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第二段的“Throughout the 20th century,if a young person wanted to enter an American company they needed to leave their youth behind.They got a haircut,and probably a suit or at least a tie.”可知,在20世纪要进入一家美国公司,年轻的应聘者需要穿商务装。故选C项。

D.ability to please the boss
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第三段的“In many companies,seniority-based(基于资历的) hierarchies have been replaced by hierarchies based on performance.”可知,公司的等级制度基于员工的绩效,即他们的工作表现。故选A项。
34.Why is the rise of the young a good thing?
A.They become more energetic in life.
B.They have taken over the companies.
C.Their creativity can be put to good use.

Before COVID-19,self-care—caring for ourselves—may have not been a priority for many people. 36 There is no exact way to practice self-care.It includes many areas and may look different from person to person.Here are some suggestions on what can be done.
37
For some people,self-care may be simply slowing down.It can also mean controlling parts of your life that you can control.This is important when the world around you feels out of control.
Learn something new
For some people,self-care might include doing things they have always wanted to do but never made time for. 38
Mental health self-care
Another form of self-care is making time to meet with a mental health specialist,if needed.The Associated Press reports that online mental health services have increased during the pandemic.However,meeting with a mental health professional may not be possible for some people. 39 Meditating,writing about your feelings and problems,and organizing the physical space around you are all forms of self-care.
Be kind to yourself—the best type of self-care
Experts remind us that self-care during the pandemic could feel like riding a roller coaster—up some days,down on others.
It can help to have a routine—a usual way of doing things.But experts say keep the routine simple. 40 Remember,be kind to yourself.
A.Never feel out of control.
B.Slow down and feel in control.
C.But now it is even more important than usual.
D.So doctors have suggestions for other ways to reduce stress during the pandemic.
E.Self-care includes both individual wellness and the wellness of the greater community.
F.It is also important not to be hard on yourself if you do not keep to your routine every day.
G.These things include baking,gardening,and learning a new language or some other new skills.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。在新冠肺炎疫情之前,自我护理和照顾自己可能不是许多人优先考虑的事项,但是现在它比平时更重要。文章主要提出了一些自我照顾的建议。
36.C 根据上文“Before COVID-19,self-care—caring for ourselves—may have not been a priority for many people.”结合后文提出了一些自我护理的方法,可知空处与上文构成转折,指出自我护理的重要性。故C选项“但是现在它比平时更重要”符合语境,故选C项。
37.B 根据后文“For some people,self-care may be simply slowing down.It can also mean controlling parts of your life that you can control.This is important when the world around you feels out of control.”可知,本段关于自我护理的方法是慢下来,B项中“Slow down”对应后文中的“slowing down”。B项“慢下来,感觉一切尽在掌握”符合语境,故选B项。
38.G 根据小标题“Learn something new(学习新事物)”以及上文“For some people,self-care might include doing things they have always wanted to do but never made time for.”可知,本段提出的建议是学习新事物,空处为本段最后一句,应举例说明可以学习哪些新事物。G项“这些事情包括烘焙、园艺、学习一门新语言或其他一些新技能”符合语境,故选G项。
39.D 根据上文“However,meeting with a mental health professional may not be possible for some people.”以及后文“Meditating,writing about your feelings and problems,and organizing the physical space around you are all forms of self-care.”可知,上文提到与心理健康专业人士见面也许不可能,后文则提到了其他自我照顾的方式,可知空处与上文构成因果关系,D项“因此,医生对在疫情流行期间减少压力的其他方法有建议”符合语境,故选D项。
40.F 根据上文“It can help to have a routine—a usual way of doing things.But experts say keep the routine simple.”可知,专家建议保持简单的作息习惯,F项中“routine”对应上文中“routine”。故F项“同样重要的是,如果你不坚持你的日常生活,不要对自己太苛刻”符合语境,故选F项。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在河南省洛阳市,发现了许多唐朝陶器的碎片,陶器上的内容表现了唐朝辉煌的文化和多彩的社会生活。
56.where 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,关系词在从句中作地点状语,所以填where。
57.being constructed 考查动词的语态。介词后面用动名词形式,“a railway”与construct之间是被动关系,所以用动名词的被动形式。
58.dates 考查动词的时态。date back to 这个短语通常用一般现在时,且主语“The production of glassy pottery in China”是单数,所以谓语动词也用单数,因此填dates。
59.to 考查介词。apply to“适用于”,是固定短语,所以填to。
60.were painted 考查动词的时态和语态。“a few touches of Chinese ink”与“paint”之间是被动关系,且表示发生在过去的事情,因此用一般过去时的被动语态,所以填were painted。
61.vividly 考查副词。修饰动词“portrayed”,所以填副词vividly。
62.variety 考查名词。a great variety of“各种各样的”,是固定短语,所以填名词variety。
63.covering 考查非谓语动词。cover与其逻辑主语“they”之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词,填covering。
64.a 考查冠词。a bad temper“坏脾气”,是固定短语,所以填a。
65.corlorful 考查形容词。修饰名词“life”,用形容词,所以填corlorful。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Wrinkles of confusion rippled across Holly’s forehead as she opened the gift from her best friend,Susan.
“I...I thought you could use it for something.” Susan’s stammered explanation did nothing to help us understand why a twelve-by-eighteen-inch dark-blue carpet remnant(残余物)was being presented as a birthday gift.
Holly,my daughter,tried bravely not to allow her disappointment to show.She laid the carpet on the kitchen counter,and the two girls headed outside to play.
The next morning,I carried a kitchen bag outside.My heart ached as I saw Susan’s carpet lying in the trash can.Hesitating only a moment,I reached in and picked it up.After giving it a light brushing,I brought it into the house and placed it in the hall closet.Occupied with the business of daily living,the carpet was soon forgotten.
Prior to Holly’s birthday,Susan had been a regular visitor in our home.On several occasions,she rode the bus home with Holly and was one of the few friends ever permitted to stay over on a school night.But now I realised it had been nearly three weeks since we’d even heard mention of Susan’s name.I missed her warm smile and eager-to-please ways.
One day,Holly had arrived home from school.“Susan invited me to come over to her house after school tomorrow,” she announced as she took her books down on the kitchen table.Although her voice carried a so-what attitude,I sensed she was pleased by the invitation.
Arrangements were made,and the girls rode home together on the school bus the following day.As I negotiated the winding country road that led to her house,Susan chatted nervously about her foster mom and the seventeen cats she had taken in and cared for.Soon we arrived at Susan’s house.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
A woman wearing a shapeless sweater stood in the doorway to greet us as we approached the small shabby farmhouse.
Hearing my words about everything of Susan,Holly sat silently in the car,with her head stretching forward as if willing the car to move faster.
参考范文
A woman wearing a shapeless sweater stood in the doorway to greet us as we approached the small shabby farmhouse.When we stepped inside,appearing into our sight were stuff lying everywhere and a hall poorly decorated with used furnishings.Shocked by this,Holly took a quick glance at Susan,whose cheek had already become flushed.But it didn’t take long for the girls to forget about it and dash out to have their fun.Susan’s mom treated me a drink and shared with me her fondness for Susan as well as the poor girl’s past,which got my heart deeply struck.As daylight began to fade,we offered our thanks for the visit and said good-bye.On the way home,I decided to tell Holly all about Susan.
Hearing my words about everything of Susan,Holly sat silently in the car,with her head stretching forward as if willing the car to move faster.No sooner had we arrived home than she raced directly towards the trash can in the kitchen.Standing next to the trash can and peering inside for a while,apparently she got nothing she wanted.Seeing that,I went inside and headed for the hall closet.“Is this what you were looking for?” I placed the carpet in front of her.“Thanks!Mom.” A tear or two slipped from her eyes and dropped onto the remnant.Holly held it tightly in her arms,which I believed,was the most precious birthday present she’d received in the world.

The following figures made a great difference to the world,but have you heard of their graduation speeches,in which they either share their unforgotten experiences or give you some great inspiration?
Michael Dell,University of Texas at Austin
Congratulations!You all accomplished something great and important here,and it’s time for you to move on to what’s next.You must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps...You must also be committed to the adventure.Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you’ve been blessed with,and then advance.
J.K.Rowling,Harvard University
Half my lifetime ago,I was striking an unstable balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty,but failure.The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure; you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.
Steve Jobs,Stanford University
Sometimes life is going to hit you on the head with a brick.Don’t lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life,and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work,and the only way to do great work is to love what you do.If you haven’t found it yet,keep looking,and don’t settle.
Bill Gates,Harvard University
We need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another.They are making it possible not just for national governments,but for universities,smaller organizations,and even individuals to see problems,see approaches and deal with the world’s inequality like hunger,poverty,and so on.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了迈克尔·戴尔、J.K. 罗琳等名人的毕业演讲,有些名人分享了他们难忘的经历,有些讲述了对于人生的启示。

“Mommy,will you play this with me?” My two-year-old daughter sat next to a mountain of laundry baskets.She held a toy in her hand.I looked at her,and then I stared down a pile of dirty clothes—enough,already.I thought of some popular phrases among moms I had read countless times on the Internet.“Days are long but the years fly by.” “A messy house is a happy house.” “Hard work pays off.” I became energetic every time the phrases passed through my mind.
Sometimes,the laundry just needed to get done.I stared straight into my daughter’s pleading eyes.
“I’m sorry,sweetheart,but I cannot play right now.Mom is really busy.” Suddenly,an idea passed through my brain.I must do the housework!And that would not make me a bad mom!
Quite the opposite,I thought.
It’s okay to clean,to cook,or to spend a morning paying bills,making phone calls and folding towels.That’s what grown-ups do.And how else will our kids learn unless we demonstrate?Recently,I read an article about a local family.It was a diary of their typical week,written by the father of six children.Each day consisted of cooking and family devotions.The grandkids ran in the barn while the older children milked cows,and everyone helped make pies for the family bakery business.They were all faithfully devoted to one another as they worked side by side from dawn to dusk.
Could it be that the real call on a family is not for the parents to serve the children,but for everyone to serve each other for a greater purpose?Sometimes we work,and sometimes we play.Strong families are built with both.
“Sweetie,I have a great idea.” I set my daughter’s game on the table and held her hands.“You can help me put these clothes in the wash.Doesn’t that sound fun?” Her face lit up.“Can I push the buttons,too?” “Absolutely,you are a good button pusher.” “Yeah!” she said as if I had just asked her to play.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者受到当地一个家庭日记的影响,明白了父母应该教育孩子为家庭做贡献,这样才能建立牢固的家庭关系,因此作者主动提出让女儿帮着洗衣服。

解析细节理解题。根据第一段的“I thought of some popular phrases among moms I had read countless times on the Internet.‘Days are long but the years fly by.’‘A messy house is a happy house.’‘Hard work pays off.’I became energetic every time the phrases passed through my mind.”可知,作者认为这些流行语鼓励、安慰着疲惫的妈妈们。故选B项。
25.What did the writer learn from the diary?
A.Interest should be developed at a young age.
B.It is really hard to take good care of children.

26.How did the daughter feel when she was asked to do some housework?
A.Worried and scared.

C.Excited and interested.

27.What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Enjoying a Messy House
B.Playing Toys with My Kid
C.Making Dreams Come True
D.Doing the Laundry Together
答案D
解析主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容可知,文章主要讲述作者受到当地一个家庭日记的影响,明白父母应该教育孩子为家庭做贡献,这样才能建立牢固的家庭关系,因此主动提出让女儿帮着洗衣服这件事。D项“一起洗衣服”可以作为本文最佳标题,简明且能点明文章中心。故选D项。
C
School children are using mobile phone applications to do their homework,which seem to be increasing during summer vacations.But instead of blaming students for their behaviour,we should say no to too much homework.This is important because by using mobile phone applications to do their homework,students don’t add much to their knowledge,says an article in Guangzhou-based Yangcheng Evening News.Excerpts(摘录):Using mobile phone applications to do homework is no different from copying from someone else’s work.This is the opinion of a vast majority of teachers.Students who seek cell phone apps help to do their homework will pay dearly during major exams when they cannot seek the help of such applications,the teachers say.
The heavy load of homework Chinese students are burdened with—said to be the heaviest in the world—has led to the popularity of these applications.
Senior high school students in China rarely go to bed before 11 pm.A report in Shanghai published recently showed that students in the city on average spend 28.2 hours in class every week,the 9th highest among 65 countries and regions surveyed.Also,they spend an average of 13.8 hours a week doing homework,most in the world.
There is no association between the amount of homework one does and the amount of knowledge one gathers.In fact,research by Australian experts shows that the result is exactly the opposite:the more hours students spend doing homework,the less effective they will be in gaining knowledge.
The United States is one of the countries where students do little homework,but that has not damaged the country’s academic status in the world.So,it’s time that Chinese schools understood this fact and freed students of the unnecessary burden of homework.

The pace of today’s working life blurs(使模糊)the line between personal time and work time,and it increasingly mixes personal lifestyle and work style.And as companies are trying hard to attract and keep young people for their technical skills and enthusiasm for change,office culture is becoming an extension of youth culture.This may not be a bad thing.For most of human history the middle-aged have ruled,but in the future,they will have to share power with fresh-faced youths.
There have been a number of reasons for this change and the most dramatic of these is technology.Children have always been more expert than their parents at something,but usually a game or a fashion,not the century’s most important business tool.The Internet has started the first industrial revolution in history to be led by the young.Though there have been youth revolutions before,none of them made a big change the way the Internet has.Throughout the 20th century,if a young person wanted to enter an American company they needed to leave their youth behind.They got a haircut,and probably a suit or at least a tie.Now the same hair,same clothes,even nearly the same hours apply to office and home.
If it had not been for the Internet,this change could not have happened.However,it did not happen because of the Internet only; the corporate restructurings(公司重组) of the 1980s and 90s broke down traditional hierarchies(等级制度).In many companies,seniority-based(基于资历的)hierarchies have been replaced by hierarchies based on performance.The abilities to please your superiors are no longer the most valued skills.Today’s employees stay with companies only as long as they feel challenged and rewarded; moving from a job to another job is now a sign of ambition.
The rise of the young is a good thing,because it gives them more opportunity to put their ideas and energy into practice at their most creative stage in life.Nowadays youth and youth qualities seem to dominate,but the experience and maturity of older employees should be put to good use,too.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明年轻人的崛起是好事,因为他们的创新能力可以得到很好的利用。

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。
Before COVID-19,self-care—caring for ourselves—may have not been a priority for many people. 36 There is no exact way to practice self-care.It includes many areas and may look different from person to person.Here are some suggestions on what can be done.
37
For some people,self-care may be simply slowing down.It can also mean controlling parts of your life that you can control.This is important when the world around you feels out of control.
Learn something new
For some people,self-care might include doing things they have always wanted to do but never made time for. 38
Mental health self-care
Another form of self-care is making time to meet with a mental health specialist,if needed.The Associated Press reports that online mental health services have increased during the pandemic.However,meeting with a mental health professional may not be possible for some people. 39 Meditating,writing about your feelings and problems,and organizing the physical space around you are all forms of self-care.
Be kind to yourself—the best type of self-care
Experts remind us that self-care during the pandemic could feel like riding a roller coaster—up some days,down on others.
It can help to have a routine—a usual way of doing things.But experts say keep the routine simple. 40 Remember,be kind to yourself.
A.Never feel out of control.
B.Slow down and feel in control.
C.But now it is even more important than usual.
D.So doctors have suggestions for other ways to reduce stress during the pandemic.
E.Self-care includes both individual wellness and the wellness of the greater community.
F.It is also important not to be hard on yourself if you do not keep to your routine every day.
G.These things include baking,gardening,and learning a new language or some other new skills.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。在新冠肺炎疫情之前,自我护理和照顾自己可能不是许多人优先考虑的事项,但是现在它比平时更重要。文章主要提出了一些自我照顾的建议。
36.C 根据上文“Before COVID-19,self-care—caring for ourselves—may have not been a priority for many people.”结合后文提出了一些自我护理的方法,可知空处与上文构成转折,指出自我护理的重要性。故C选项“但是现在它比平时更重要”符合语境,故选C项。
37.B 根据后文“For some people,self-care may be simply slowing down.It can also mean controlling parts of your life that you can control.This is important when the world around you feels out of control.”可知,本段关于自我护理的方法是慢下来,B项中“Slow down”对应后文中的“slowing down”。B项“慢下来,感觉一切尽在掌握”符合语境,故选B项。
38.G 根据小标题“Learn something new(学习新事物)”以及上文“For some people,self-care might include doing things they have always wanted to do but never made time for.”可知,本段提出的建议是学习新事物,空处为本段最后一句,应举例说明可以学习哪些新事物。G项“这些事情包括烘焙、园艺、学习一门新语言或其他一些新技能”符合语境,故选G项。
39.D 根据上文“However,meeting with a mental health professional may not be possible for some people.”以及后文“Meditating,writing about your feelings and problems,and organizing the physical space around you are all forms of self-care.”可知,上文提到与心理健康专业人士见面也许不可能,后文则提到了其他自我照顾的方式,可知空处与上文构成因果关系,D项“因此,医生对在疫情流行期间减少压力的其他方法有建议”符合语境,故选D项。
40.F 根据上文“It can help to have a routine—a usual way of doing things.But experts say keep the routine simple.”可知,专家建议保持简单的作息习惯,F项中“routine”对应上文中“routine”。故F项“同样重要的是,如果你不坚持你的日常生活,不要对自己太苛刻”符合语境,故选F项。

56.where 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,关系词在从句中作地点状语,所以填where。

58.dates 考查动词的时态。date back to 这个短语通常用一般现在时,且主语“The production of glassy pottery in China”是单数,所以谓语动词也用单数,因此填dates。
59.to 考查介词。apply to“适用于”,是固定短语,所以填to。

62.variety 考查名词。a great variety of“各种各样的”,是固定短语,所以填名词variety。

64.a 考查冠词。a bad temper“坏脾气”,是固定短语,所以填a。
65.corlorful 考查形容词。修饰名词“life”,用形容词,所以填corlorful。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Wrinkles of confusion rippled across Holly’s forehead as she opened the gift from her best friend,Susan.
“I...I thought you could use it for something.” Susan’s stammered explanation did nothing to help us understand why a twelve-by-eighteen-inch dark-blue carpet remnant(残余物)was being presented as a birthday gift.
Holly,my daughter,tried bravely not to allow her disappointment to show.She laid the carpet on the kitchen counter,and the two girls headed outside to play.
The next morning,I carried a kitchen bag outside.My heart ached as I saw Susan’s carpet lying in the trash can.Hesitating only a moment,I reached in and picked it up.After giving it a light brushing,I brought it into the house and placed it in the hall closet.Occupied with the business of daily living,the carpet was soon forgotten.
Prior to Holly’s birthday,Susan had been a regular visitor in our home.On several occasions,she rode the bus home with Holly and was one of the few friends ever permitted to stay over on a school night.But now I realised it had been nearly three weeks since we’d even heard mention of Susan’s name.I missed her warm smile and eager-to-please ways.
One day,Holly had arrived home from school.“Susan invited me to come over to her house after school tomorrow,” she announced as she took her books down on the kitchen table.Although her voice carried a so-what attitude,I sensed she was pleased by the invitation.
Arrangements were made,and the girls rode home together on the school bus the following day.As I negotiated the winding country road that led to her house,Susan chatted nervously about her foster mom and the seventeen cats she had taken in and cared for.Soon we arrived at Susan’s house.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
A woman wearing a shapeless sweater stood in the doorway to greet us as we approached the small shabby farmhouse.
Hearing my words about everything of Susan,Holly sat silently in the car,with her head stretching forward as if willing the car to move faster.
参考范文
A woman wearing a shapeless sweater stood in the doorway to greet us as we approached the small shabby farmhouse.When we stepped inside,appearing into our sight were stuff lying everywhere and a hall poorly decorated with used furnishings.Shocked by this,Holly took a quick glance at Susan,whose cheek had already become flushed.But it didn’t take long for the girls to forget about it and dash out to have their fun.Susan’s mom treated me a drink and shared with me her fondness for Susan as well as the poor girl’s past,which got my heart deeply struck.As daylight began to fade,we offered our thanks for the visit and said good-bye.On the way home,I decided to tell Holly all about Susan.
Hearing my words about everything of Susan,Holly sat silently in the car,with her head stretching forward as if willing the car to move faster.No sooner had we arrived home than she raced directly towards the trash can in the kitchen.Standing next to the trash can and peering inside for a while,apparently she got nothing she wanted.Seeing that,I went inside and headed for the hall closet.“Is this what you were looking for?” I placed the carpet in front of her.“Thanks!Mom.” A tear or two slipped from her eyes and dropped onto the remnant.Holly held it tightly in her arms,which I believed,was the most precious birthday present she’d received in the world.
