On your journey, there are some healthy active transport options, for example cycling.
Active transport benefits
* It’s a convenient and practical way to incorporate (并入) regular exercise into your day.
* Cycling to your stop or station helps to reduce your carbon footprint.
* The cost of buying and maintaining a bicycle is around 1% of the cost of buying and maintaining a car.

* Cycling provides commuters (通勤者) with economical and efficient access to public transport services. On average, 10 times more households are within cycling distance of public transport than they are within walking distance.
Taking your bike on the train
You can take your bike on the train on weekdays, except during the following peak times:
* 7 a.m.-9:30 a.m. towards the CBD (Central Business District);
* 3 p.m.-6:30 p. m. outwards from the CBD;
* at any time during weekends and public holidays.

B
Nobody likes to fail. It makes people feel embarrassed and discouraged. What's worse, it may cause major professional or personal trouble and lead to negativity. Basically, failure is no fun for most people. However, a vast body of research tells us that failure provides us with a chance to grow and develop, increases adaptability, and helps protect against anxiety.
It's hard to change the mindset (心态) of a lifetime. But even if we still can't get over the broken marriage or the failed College Entrance Examination or the work presentation that went fearfully wrong, it might not be too late for our kids.
Christy Pennison, a professional consultant, says she works with an increasing number of kids and teens who show significant anxiety around a fear of failure. She said, "We want to protect our children, and we want them to live happy and meaningful lives, so we frequently tell them the harm of failure and ask them to avoid failure. The children experiencing internal and sometimes extenal pressure think they shouldn't fail. Meanwhile, we always have high expectations of them. So when they don't live up to a certain standard, or things don't go according to the plans, they will feel upset and anxious."
Pennison argues that failures, are often the hidden learning chances that can help people develop positive qualities, like persistence, focus, flexibility, patience, and positive self-image.
So what can parents do to help their children embrace (拥抱) failure instead of avoiding it at all costs? Pennison suggests directing praise towards the effort, not the result. "This allows children to build confidence in themselves, "she explains." Acknowledging the effort can give children permission to try new things without a fear of failure. And the bigger picture is that the development of the mindset —'I'd rather try and fail than not try at all.'—helps them keep a belief in themselves, and expands their world of possibilities." As Pennison points out, we all fail, but how we get up after we fail is what matters.
4. What aspect do most people focus on when thinking of failure?
A. The great courage to face it.
B. The efforts made to handle it.
C. Unexpected benefits it brings.
D. Unpleasant side effects it brings.
5. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A. Bring up the main topic.
B. List the challenges in our life.
C. Add some background information.
D. Stress the importance of the mindset
6. What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph?
A. The causes of children's anxiety.
B. Christy Pennison's comments on adolescents.
C. The consequences of overprotecting children.
D. Christy Pennison's experience in educating children.
7. Which of the following advice can help parents encourage kids to face failure?
① Praise kids' every achievement.
② Make kids embrace a bright mindset.
③ Focus on the process of kids' effort
④ Expand kids' knowledge about the world.
⑤ Encourage kids to make new attempts.
A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ②③⑤ D. ①③⑤
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. C
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。文章论述了失败并不完全是一件坏事，它可以培养人们积极的品质，如坚持和耐心，并阐述了我们应该如何让儿童学会面对失败。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“Nobody likes to fail. It makes people feel embarrassed and discouraged.”和“Basically, failure is no fun for most people.”可知，没有人喜欢失败，它让人感到尴尬和气馁。基本上，失败对大多数人来说并不是一件有趣的事。由此可推断出，当想到失败时，大多数人会关注它所带来的不愉快的影响，例如，让人感到尴尬和气馁。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“But even if we still can't get over the broken marriage or the failed College Entrance Examination or the work presentation that went fearfully wrong, it might not be too late for our kids.”可知，即使我们仍然不能克服生活中的失败带来的恐惧，但对我们的孩子来说可能还不算太晚。根据下文内容可知，下文讲述了父母应该如何鼓励孩子面对失败。由此可推断出，作者想通过第二段的内容来引出文章主题，如何鼓励孩子面对失败。故选A项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。浏览第三段内容，根据第三段关键句“Meanwhile, we always have high expectations of them. So when they don't live up to a certain standard, or things don't go according to the plans, they will feel upset and anxious.”可知，我们对孩子总是抱有很高的期望，所以当他们没有达到一定标准，或者事情没有按照计划进行时，他们就会感觉不安和焦虑。由此可推断出，第三段主要是告诉我们儿童焦虑的原因。故选A项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。题目需要我们选择哪些建议可以帮助父母鼓励孩子面对失败。根据最后一段关键句“Pennison suggests directing praise towards the effort, not the result.”可知，父母的表扬应该指向努力的过程，而不是结果。表述与③ Focus on the process of kids' effort（关注孩子努力的过程）一致。再根据最后一段关键句“And the bigger picture is that the development of the mindset —'I'd rather try and fail than not try at all.'—helps them keep a belief in themselves, and expands their world of possibilities.”可知，父母应该发展孩子好的心态，宁愿尝试但失败了，也不要完全不尝试，拓展他们世界里的可能性。表述与② Make kids embrace a bright mindset.（让孩子拥有光明的心态）和⑤ Encourage kids to make new attempts.（鼓励孩子们做出新的尝试）一致。故选C项。
C
New App Helps People Remember Faces
Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people’s names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.

The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. “It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody,” says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.
After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee’s face, the app identifies the individual, displays the person’s name, and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app's creators say it automatically deletes users’ data after an event.
Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app’s creators for these protective measures. She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you.”
The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness,” a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user’s phone, according to the team behind the app.
8. SocialRecall is used to ________.
A. take photos B. identify people
C. organize events D. make friends
9. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A. how the app works
B. how the app was created
C. what makes the app popular
D. what people can do with the app
10. SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by ________.
A. giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones
B. collecting information previously entered in the phone
C. providing the information of a person when they first meet
D. showing the person’s information when it spots a stored face
11. What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage?
A. It may put people’s privacy at risk.
B. It has caused unintended consequences.
C. It can prevent some communication disorders.
D. It is praised by users for its protective measures.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】

推理判断题。根据文章第二段The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions.可知，这款名为SocialRecall的应用软件可以通过智能手机摄像头和面部识别功能将名字和人脸联系起来，从而避免了正式介绍的必要，从而可以推断出，是用来识别人。故选B。
【9题详解】
段落大意题。根据文章第三段本主要讲述在收到活动组织者发出邀请后，用户需要自拍两张照片并通过社交媒体登录，在活动中，该应用程序在之前定义的地理区域内处于活动状态。当用户将他或她的手机摄像头对准出席者的脸时，该应用程序就会识别这个人，显示这个人的名字，并链接到他或她的社交媒体个人资料，故本段主要介绍SocialRecall这款应用软件工作原理。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user’s phone, according to the team behind the app.可知，用户使用智能手机的摄像头或照片中获取某人的面部图像，然后给它加上一个名字。当摄像机在现实生活中发现相同的人脸时，就会显示之前输入的信息，从而帮助脸盲症患者识别此人的信息。故选D。
11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you.”可知，当人们选择将自己的个人信息分享给应用程序时，他们应该知道，在未来可能会出现意想不到的后果，从而可以推断出SocialRecall这款应用程序可能会危及人们的隐私。故选A。
D
GOING TO UNIVERSITY is supposed to be a mind-broadening experience. That statement is probably made in comparison to training for work straight after school, which might not be so encouraging. But is it actually true? Jessika Golle of the University of Tübingen, in Germany, thought she would try to find out. Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. As she reports in Psychological Science this week, she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate post-school years in vocational (职业的) training for work. However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them.
Dr. Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2,095 German youngsters. The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits, including openness, conscientiousness（认真）and so on. The other was of attitudes, such as realistic, investigative and enterprising. They administered both tests twice—once towards the end of each volunteer’s time at school, and then again six years later. Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes, and it was on these that the researchers focused. University beckoned for 212 of them. The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job.
When it came to the second round of tests, Dr. Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to university had not changed significantly. Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality, either—except in one crucial respect. They had become more conscientious.
That sounds like a good thing, certainly compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch of lazybones. But changes in attitude that the researchers recorded were rather worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable. But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature. And that might restrict their choice of careers.
Some investigative and enterprising jobs, such as scientific research, are, indeed beyond the degreeless. But many, particularly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The researchers mention, for example, computer programmers and finance-sector workers as careers requiring these traits. If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people’s choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration.
12. Which of the following can best replace “beckoned for” in Paragraph 2?
A. Examined. B. Attracted.
C. Organized. D. Recognized.
13. What can we learn from the research?
A. The degreeless have not changed in personalities.
B. Going to university is a mind-broadening experience.
C. Working straight after school narrows people’s minds.
D. College students pride themselves on their education.
14. According to the last two paragraphs, .
A. college students enjoy a very good public image
B. the undergraduates have changed significantly in attitude
C. the degreeless are much better at dealing with challenging tasks
D. people show less interest in investigative jobs due to vocational training
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the finding?
A Concerned. B. Optimistic.
C Unclear. D. Sceptical.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇社会类短文阅读。德国蒂宾根大学的Jessika Golle通过对比调查上大学和参加职业培训的两组人之间在个性特征和态度方面的差别，指出选择职业路线的人在调查性和进取性的任务上表现出明显的兴趣下降，而这可能会限制他们选择职业。而德国有悠久的职业培训历史，如果这一发现是正确的，那么由于培训而带来态度上的变化缩小了人们的选择，这确实是一个值得认真考虑的问题。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二段Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes, and it was on these that the researchers focused. University beckoned for 212 of them. The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job.可知，原始组中有382人就读中等学校，这些人是研究人员重点关注的对象。其中212名被大学录取，剩下的170人选择职业培训或参加工作。根据后句The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job.从而可以猜测出beckoned for为“召唤；吸引”之意。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段As she reports in Psychological Science this week,she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate post-school years in vocational training for work.However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them.可知，本周她在《心理科学》的报告称，她发现和那些离校后马上进行职业训练的人相比，那些读过大学的人看起来确实在毕业后有更加开阔的探索性的思维。但大学能够开阔思维，其实并非如此。而是工作似乎会使思维狭隘。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后两段，尤其倒数第二段中But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature.可知，但是那些选择职业培训的人，他们对调查型和进取性任务的兴趣明显下降，从而可以推断出由于职业培训，人们对调查性工作的兴趣降低。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people’s choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration.可知，如果Golle的结论正确，并且由于培训（德国人以此为傲）而带来态度上的变化缩小了人们的选择，这确实是一个值得认真考虑的问题，可以推断出，作者对这一发现持关注的态度。故选A。
【点睛】推断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，同学们要严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气，找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词句，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。例如小题4，就是根据文章最后一段If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people’s choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration.中的关键词a matter worthy of serious consideration（一个值得认真考虑的问题）可以推断出，作者对这一发现持关注的态度，从而可以推断出答案。

Mystery of Evolution
Following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia(NCP), also named COVID-19 by WHO, there is a general fear of the unknown virus as its full effects remain to be seen. Fever, coughing, sore throat, difficulty breathing-the NCP's symptoms are similar to the common cold or the flu. but it's potentially more dangerous.
Viruses could be deadly, like HIV and Ebola (埃博拉) . But what are viruses? How can they cause so much trouble? Viruses are non-living organisms (有机体) approximately one-millionth of an inch long. Unlike human cells or bacteria, they can't reproduce on their own. ___16___
Viruses can infect every living thing-from plants and animals down to the smallest bacteria. For this reason, they always have the potential to be dangerous to human life. Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so serious that it is fatal. Other viral infections cause no noticeable reaction. Viruses lie around our environment all of the time, waiting for a host cell to come along. They can eater our bodies by the nose, mouth, eyes or breaks in the skin. ___17___For example, HIV, which causes AIDS. attacks the T-cells of the immune system.
But the basic question is, where did viruses first come from?____18____"Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult. " Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, "because viruses don't leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they've invaded." ___19___First, viruses started as independent organisms, then became parasites (寄生者) . Second. viruses evolved from pieces of DNA or RNA that "escaped" from larger organisms. Third, viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.
For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and evidence we have today cannot be used to test these theories and identify the most plausible explanation. ___20___ Or future studies may reveal that the answer is even murkier (含糊不清的) than it now appears.
A. Once inside, they try to find a host cell to infect.
B. Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists.
C. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers.
D. There's pretty strong evidence that this is a bat origin coronavirus.
E. However there are three main hypotheses (假说) to explain the origin of viruses.
F. Instead, they invade the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over.
G. Bat is a flying mammal with a long lifespan whose temperature is high, similar to a fever.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. B 19. E 20. C

A few years ago, I was standing at the barre (扶手杠) waiting for my adult ballet class when I heard a voice behind me. “So, do you have this perfect life?”

【解析】
本文是说明文，文章介绍了在未来，人们可能会因为数字技术的发展而购买更少的东西。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：人们总是买东西，因为他们想得到最新的产品。 修饰名词products，应用形容词；根据句意，此处应是形容词latest，意思为“最新的，最近的”。故填latest。
【42题详解】

【43题详解】
考查时态。句意：在过去，新的发明给我们带来了很多产品，但是数字技术经常用一个设备就代替了这些东西。副词often常与一般现在时连用，句子叙述的是现在的情况，因此用一般现在时；主语是digital technology，谓语动词应用单数第三人称形式，故填replaces。
【44题详解】
考查构词法。句意： 例如，你的手机现在可以是你的电视、收音机、音乐播放器和闹钟。and是并列连词，此处连接并列的名词television, radio, alarm clock；play是动词，此处应是名词player，意思为“播放器”。故填player。
【45题详解】
考查时态。句意：因此，人们家里的东西会减少，因为他们在数字服务上会花很多钱。根据上一句的时间状语In the future可知，此处是描述将来会出现的情况，因此用一般将来时。故填will have。
【46题详解】

【47题详解】

【48题详解】
考查介词。句意：人们会在他们当地的社区里分享一些东西，比如自行车和园艺设备，使用一个应用程序来查找他们所需要的东西。根据句意，此处应是介词like ，意思为“类似……的，像……的”。故填like。
【49题详解】
考查副词。句意：总而言之，数字技术肯定会继续改变我们的生活，其中一个改变就是我们不再需要那么多的建筑材料。修饰动词 continue，应用副词形式。故填definitely。

考查名词性从句。句意：总而言之，数字技术肯定会继续改变我们的生活，其中一个改变就是我们不再需要那么多的建筑材料。分析句子结构，所填词后是表语从句，从句中不缺少任何成分，因此用that引导表语从句。故填that。

Senior Three student will face the question after they pass by the college entrance examination. "Should I choose a good major and a good university?" Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn which they are interested in. It will also make it possible for them take their favorite jobs in the future. However, those who think differently believes that the environment is important to one’s development. They also believe that students graduate from leading universities are often more likely to find good jobs. In my opinion, a best choice is to choose a good major at a good university. But if they can’t obtain both, the first thing to consider was a good major. Because no matter where they study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if they try their best.
【答案】1.student→students
2.by去掉
3.and→ or
4 .which→what
5.take 前加to
6.believes→believe
7.graduate→graduating
8. best前a→the
9.was→is
10.we→they
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇议论文。文章主要就应该选择一个好的专业还是一个好的大学展开论述，谈论了不同的人对这一问题的看法。作者认为最好的选择是在一所好的大学选择一个好的专业。但是如果他们两者不能同时获得，首先要考虑的是一个好的专业。
【详解】1.考查名词的数。句意：高三的学生在通过高考后将面临这个问题。student为可数名词，此处指高三的学生，人数不止一个应用复数。故student改为students。
2.考查动词用法。句意：高三的学生在通过高考后将面临这个问题。pass为及物动词，后面可以直接跟宾语，不需要介词。故by去掉。
3.考查连词。句意：我应该选择一个好的专业还是一个好的大学？此处为疑问句中应用or，表示“还是”；and用于肯定句中。故and改为 or。
4.考查宾语从句。句意：有些学生更喜欢先考虑专业，这样他们可以学习自己感兴趣的东西。此处为宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指“感兴趣的东西”应用what引导。故which改为what。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意：这也将使他们有可能在未来从事自己喜欢的工作。此处为“make it+形容词+for sb.+不定式短语”结构。故take 前加to。
6.考查主谓一致。句意：然而，那些持不同看法的人认为环境对人的发展很重要。此处为一般现在时，主语为those，谓语动词应用原形。故believes改为believe。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意：他们还认为，从一流大学毕业的学生通常更有可能找到好工作。分析句子结构可知graduate在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语students构成主动关系，故应用现在分词作定语。故graduate改为graduating。
8.考查冠词。句意：在我看来，最好的选择是在一所好的大学选择一个好的专业。best为最高级，前面与定冠词the连用。故best前a改为the。
9.考查时态。句意：但是如果他们两者不能同时获得，首先要考虑的是一个好的专业。此处陈述客观事实应用一般现在时。故was改为is。
10.考查代词。句意：因为无论他们在哪里学习，只要他们努力，他们仍然可以在某一领域取得很多成就。根据上文“Because no matter where they study”可知指“他们”应用they。故we改为they。

文章可采用三段式的结构。第一段为写信目的，信的第一段介绍了作者写信的目的，即邀请朋友加入俱乐部。第二段为邮件的正文部分，详细介绍了俱乐部组建的目的，如强身健体。同时还介绍了俱乐部的一些活动，如经常会组织比赛，举办有趣的水上游戏。第三点则告知了报名的时间和地点，这一点一句话带过即可。第三段为邮件的结尾部分，表达作者对于朋友加入俱乐部的希望。
【点睛】整篇文章要点明确，分段合理，字数适当，句式结构丰富是一篇比较优秀的应试作文。文章开头使用了with+宾语+宾补的结构，在文中作状语。文章还使用了in light of(鉴于)，in order to(为了)，in addition(另外)，a diversity of(各种各样的)等高频短语。文章使用了非限制性定语从句，如In addition, a diversity of water-based activities are held, ranging from routine practice to regularly-organized matches, which cultivate the sports spirit as well as sharpen swimming skills.such…that…，“如此……以至于……”，I’m convinced that…(我确信……)等高频句型。
