【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了促进老年人的积极情绪，改善心情的舞蹈运动疗法。

28．细节理解题。根据第二段“In fact, it is called Dance Movement Therapy (DMT). DMT across the generations, complete with eye contact, was found to promote positive feelings and improve spirits for the elderly.(事实上，它被称为舞蹈运动疗法。研究发现，舞蹈运动疗法通过跨代人的眼神交流，可以促进老年人的积极情感和精神状态)”可知，通过眼神交流，跨代人的舞蹈治疗能够促进老年人的积极情绪，改善心情。因此，年轻人和奶奶跳舞应该：B 项“Look at the grandmas’ eyes.(看奶奶的眼睛)”符合题意。故选B项。

29．推理判断题。根据第三段“The grandparents reported a bright state of mind, happy memories and uplifted spirits…For the grandchildren in the study, the weekly boogie changed how they view aging and allowed them to come to accept the eventual death of their elderly relatives.(祖父母的精神状态很好，回忆愉快，精神振奋……对于研究中的孙辈们来说，每周的布吉改变了他们对衰老的看法，让他们接受了最终亲人的死亡)”可知，每周的布吉舞给老人带来好的精神状态和美好回忆，而对于参与研究的孙辈来说，每周一次的布吉舞改变了他们对衰老的看法，让他们能够接受年长亲人的最终死亡，可见，跳舞对老年人和年轻人都有好处。因此，C项“Dancing benefits both the senior and the young in the new study.(在新的研究中，跳舞对老年人和年轻人都有好处)”符合题意。故选C项。

30．细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“DMT was taken seriously due to the fact that it is easily accessible and does not cost more to practice.(舞蹈运动疗法之所以受到重视，是因为它很容易获得，而且实践成本不高)”可知，舞蹈运动疗法因其操作简便、成本不高而受到重视。因此，舞蹈运动疗法的最佳优势是A项目“Inexpensive.(便宜)”符合题意。故选A项。

【分析】本文为说明文。文章主要讲述了谷歌云服务器在疫情期间，为了保障用户资料的安全性，推出的新的安全产品及其推广情况。

32．细节理解题。根据第一段的“Google Cloud is racing to roll out new features and services aimed at helping its customers maintain business during the coronavirus pandemic, including a new security product expected to launch Tuesday.(谷歌云正在加紧推出新功能和服务，旨在帮助客户在冠状病毒大流行期间维持业务，包括一款预计将于周二推出的新安全产品。) ”和“We wanted people comfortable in knowing they can move to the cloud and don’t have to worry about the security of their data(我们希望人们能够放心地知道他们可以移动到云端，而不必担心数据的安全性)”可知，文章首段主要讲述了在疫情期间，谷歌云服务器正在努力研发帮助企业维持商业的新功能和新服务。云服务即将推出一款新的安全产品，它可以让人们安全地进入谷歌云，而不用担心他们资料的安全性。故选C。

33．词义猜测题。根据第二段首句“Google Cloud accelerated the development of several features for its virtual meeting product...”可知，谷歌云服务器加快了虚拟会议产品几个特点的研发。由including可知，“automatically filters out background noises such as keystrokes and dog barks”属于特点之一，“background noises”等说明这些声音是不想要的，具有干扰性的。所以短语fliters out是“消除”的意思。故选D。

34．推理判断题。由第四段的“Lowe’s customers were doubling on projects such as those related to home offices during those months, and “Our company saw tremendous demand,” Ms. Godbole said.(“在这几个月里，Lowe的客户在诸如家庭办公室之类的项目上翻了一番，我们公司看到了巨大的需求，”戈德尔女士说。)”可知Ms. Godbole’s公司的顾客猛增，公司对于网络云服务的需求剧增。因此推断提到戈德尔女士的公司是为了说明市场对新产品的需求会增加。故选A。

35．推理判断题。由文章最后一段的最后一句"Trust is built in times of crisis,” he said.(他说，信任是在危机时刻建立起来的)可以得出,他觉得谷歌云推出的新服务是可靠的，值得信任的。故选B。.

七选五：

41．考查名词词义辨析。句意：但根据周四发布的一项新研究，也有很多例外。A. achievements成就；B. connections连接；C. exceptions例外；D. possibilities可能性。根据后文描述的伊希斯·哈里斯成为电工，找到人生价值的故事，可知尽管大家普遍知道越是受教育，收入越高，但仍有例外，故选exceptions。故选C。

语法填空：

56．which；57．competition；58．biggest;   59．a   60．Founded

61．but    62．enables      63．In       64．it   65．has offered

【分析】在过去的几年里，网络书店的竞争导致中国超过一半的书店倒闭，但是作为中国最大的私营连锁书店之一的Sisyphe书店却是成功的。这是因为Sisyphe的转型升级业务，它在购物中心开设书店是为了利用购物中心的大量消费者来卖书，同时也让人们享受到阅读和喝咖啡的乐趣。

56．考查定语从句。句意：在过去的几年里，中国超过一半的书店倒闭，这是网络书店竞争的结果。分析句子In the past few years, more than half of bookstores in China have closed down, _1__ is the result of the ___2___(compete) from online bookstores.可知，本空指代前面的句子“In the past few years, more than half of bookstores in China have closed down”，英语中可指代前面的句子，在定语从句中，要用关系词which。因此本空填which。

57．考查名词。分析句子可知，本空前有定冠词the，可知，此空为名词，因此要用动词compete的名词形式competition。故填competition。

58．考查最高级。分析语境可知此处句意是指“作为中国最大的民营连锁书店之一的Sisyphe书店的成功”。根据前面的“one of the….”可知，要用最高级，故本空要填biggest。

59．考查固定搭配。句意：Mya就是一个很好的例子。serve as…为固定搭配，意为“充当，担任”，因此本空填as。

60．考查非谓语作状语。句意：Sisyphe成立于1993年，2009年开始转型升级业务，谋求盈利。分析句子可知，found的逻辑主语是Sisyphe，二者是被动关系，根据时间状语“in 1993”可知，要用过去分词，即founded。所以填Founded。

61．考查固定搭配。句意：现在，它不仅致力于卖书，而且结合了书店、咖啡馆和创造性的艺术产品的销售功能。devote…to doing sth。其中的to为介词，所以to后要用动词的ing形式。因此本空填selling。

62．考查形容词作定语。分析句子可知，动词create在句中修饰名词cutural products，修饰名词要用形容词，故填形容词 creative。

63．考查谓语动词。句意：西西弗在购物中心开设书店是为了利用购物中心的大量消费者来卖书，同时也让人们享受到阅读和喝咖啡的乐趣。分析句子可知，本句考查谓语动词。由本句的时态可知，要用一般现在时，而主语“it”，可知，本空要用形容词able的动词形式enable，且用单数，故此空填enables。

64．考查语境及形式主语。句意：所以这样的合作是互利的。分析句子可知，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式to have such cooperation，英语中常用不定代词it作形式主语，因此本空填it。

65．考查谓语动词的时态。句意：到目前为止，政府已经对书店实行减税政策，以鼓励实体书店的发展。根据“so far”（到目前为止）可知，本空要用现在完成时。本句的主语是the government，与谓语动词offer是主动关系，故填has offered。

应用文：

Dear Mike,

It's really exciting to have you in my city this holiday, and and I'm more than happy to recommend it to you．

Located in Southwest of China, Chongqing is a popular tourist destination, attracting people all over the world. A tourist attraction that you can’t miss here is our ancient town, Ciqikou. You can buy delicate handicrafts and taste a variety of local foods including Hotpot. Plus, the night view is typical of Chongqing. As night falls, the buildings in the downtown look like colorful crystals with all lights on and the river looks like a floating silver tie.

Chongqing has a lot to offer. I prefer to guide you to explore more. At last, wish you a pleasant journey.       

Yours

Li Hua

读后续写：

One possible version:

However, I grew upset as I couldn't afford a gift. It would be such an embarrassing scene to be present without a gift. I even thought about quitting, but I was not able to bring it forth. I struggled for days but couldn't figure out any solution. One day, while helping with my hardworking parents with the housework, it suddenly occurred to me that maybe I could make a gift by myself. I immediately started my DIY project, which ended up with a toy doll. The big day finally came. I arrived at her house and handed her the box.

When she opened the gift box, my heart was too nervous to beat. I looked closely at her face, wondering if she would just laugh at me. What happened next was totally beyond my imagination. Upon seeing the doll, Julie let out a cry of excitement and she held it close to her face, saying repeatedly that it was the sweetest gift she had ever received. Her words freed me. I couldn't help smiling together with her. At that precious moment, I realized money couldn’t buy everything. It was our genuine friendship that really mattered.

M: I think I’m pretty sensitive to the weather, more so than other people I know. I love summer the most. The days are so long and the sun shines so brightly. Fall is great, too. I enjoy the colorful leaves and the mild, cool weather. Spring’s also nice. But winter … Oh I just can’t stand winter. It’s just so dark and cold all the time here. I go to work downtown in the dark, I come home in the dark. And the cold … I know winter is supposed to be cold, but in the last few years, it’s just been freezing. Winter comes every year, and every year, no one’s prepared for it. The first time it snows, everything shuts down. The trains stop, the planes stop, and no one can leave their house because no one comes to move the snow off these smaller country roads. If you try and drive on the roads, you get stuck in the snow. If you try and walk outside, you slip and fall on the ice. I think other people are affected by winter too. No one smiles that much. No one talks that much. I think I’ll move somewhere warmer down south.
