If you’re a fan of fast fashion, your choices may be narrowing in the near future.
At the end of 2020, fast-fashion giant H&M said it would close 350 stores worldwide. Recently, Spanish fashion giant Inditex announced that it would close all its Bershka, Pull & Bear and Stradivarius stores in China. It all indicates that fast fashion is slowing down, noted the website Fast Company.
A major reason is the shift in the mindset (心态) of consumers. Millennials those who were born in the 1980s or 1990s, are now the largest consumer group. Unlike their predecessors (前人), millennials are more financially stable,and thus low-priced fast fashion is not their priority. According to The South China Morning Post, more people are starting to care about quality and the stories behind a product.
Another factor is the growing concern over the fashion industry’s effect on the environment. As The New York Times noted, the fashion industry is one of the largest polluters of clean water and three-fifths of clothes produced in a year end up in landfill (垃圾场). As there is more awareness of the climate crisis, younger people are pursuing more eco-friendly choices.
Molly, 22, is one of them. Before she went to college, she used to frequent fast-fashion shops like Forever 21 and H&M. But after taking a class that focused Fast fashion slows down on the environmental impact of clothing production, her preference changed. Now, she tries to shop in a way that is both sustainable (可持续的) and affordable: She shops second-hand. “My friend showed me how easy it was to be thrifty (节约的) and I developed a new personal style that focused less on trends but on basics that don’t go out of style.” she told MTV News.
In order to survive in the competitive market, many fast-fashion brands are making changes as well. For example, Inditex said that the company plans for all of its clothes to be sustainable by 2025.
“Sustainability is a never-ending task in which everyone here is involved.” said Pablo Isla, CEO of Inditex.
36. Why is fast fashion unpopular among millennials?
A. Millennials follow former generations’ style.
B. Millennials prefer cheaper clothes.
C. Millennials attach more importance to quality.
D. Millennials like brands with a long history.
37. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. Unsold clothes are a threat to the environment.
B. Low-quality fashion products don’t last long.
C. Climate change should be blamed on the fashion industry.
D. More people prefer eco-friendly fashion products.
38. What is Molly’s new way of shopping?
A. She likes thrifty brands.
B. She buys used clothes.
C. She prefers trendy clothes.
D. She buys only necessary clothes.
39. The author used the example of Inditex at the end to show _________.
A. how competition is becoming more fierce in the fashion industry
B. how sustainability has become the top priority for most fashion brands
C. how the fast-fashion industry is suffering a big loss
D. how a major company can change their products to fit the market
40. What is the author’s opinion on the future development of fast fashion?
A. Promising. B. Hopeless. C. Unclear. D. Unpredictable.
【答案】36. C 37. D 38. B 39. D 40. A
【解析】

【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“According to The South China Morning Post, more people are starting to care about quality and the stories behind a product.(据《南华早报》报道，越来越多的人开始关注产品的质量和背后的故事。)”可知，快速时尚在千禧一代中不受欢迎是因为千禧一代更注重质量。故选C项。
【37题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第四段“Another factor is the growing concern over the fashion industry’s effect on the environment. As The New York Times noted, the fashion industry is one of the largest polluters of clean water and three-fifths of clothes produced in a year end up in landfill. As there is more awareness of the climate crisis,younger people are pursuing more eco-friendly choices.(另一个因素是人们越来越担心时装业对环境的影响。正如《纽约时报》所指出的，时装业是清洁水的最大污染者之一，一年生产的服装中有五分之三最终被填埋。随着人们对气候危机的意识增强，年轻人正在追求更环保的选择。)”可知，这段主要讲了时装业会对环境产生影响，所以更多人选择对对环境有好处的产品。故选D项。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Now, she tries to shop in a way that is both sustainable (可持续的) and affordable: She shops second-hand.(现在，她试图以一种既可持续的方式购物而且价格实惠：她买二手货。)”可知，她买旧衣服。故选B项。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Sustainability is a never-ending task in which everyone here is involved,” said Pablo Isla, CEO of Inditex.For example, Inditex said that the company plans for all of its clothes to be sustainable by 2025.(Inditex首席执行官帕布罗·伊斯拉（Pablo Isla）说：“可持续发展是一项永无止境的任务，这里的每个人都参与其中”。)”以及倒数第二段“In order to survive in the competitive market, many fast-fashion brands are making changes as well.(为了在竞争激烈的市场中生存，许多快速时尚品牌也在做出改变。例如，Inditex表示，该公司计划到2025年实现所有服装的可持续发展。)”可知，作者在最后用Inditex的例子来说明一个大公司如何改变他们的产品来适应市场。故选D项。
【40题详解】
观点态度题。根据倒数第二段“In order to survive in the competitive market, many fast-fashion brands are making changes as well.(为了在竞争激烈的市场中生存，许多快速时尚品牌也在做出改变。例如，Inditex表示，该公司计划到2025年实现所有服装的可持续发展。)以及最后一段““Sustainability is a never-ending task in which everyone here is involved,” said Pablo Isla, CEO of Inditex.For example, Inditex said that the company plans for all of its clothes to be sustainable by 2025.(Inditex首席执行官帕布罗·伊斯拉（Pablo Isla）说：“可持续发展是一项永无止境的任务，这里的每个人都参与其中”。)”可知，作者对时尚将来的发展时充满希望的，认为很有前途。故选A项。

It is an ancient Chinese tradition to cherish grain. In ancient China, farming promoted the development of civilization so people regarded grain as a God. The ancient people firmly believed that “food is the most important thing for the people”. The earth God “She” and the grain God “Ji” were the earliest gods worshipped by our ancestors and the country was called “Sheji”.
Chinese believe in food conservation. Scholars have strongly advocated that “every single grain is fruit of hard work” and nothing should be wasted. Strong daily practices are associated with “respecting” the grain. Families that run out of rice never leave their container completely empty. There is always a little rice left in it. Parts of the poultry (家禽) and livestock that are unsuitable to be the main dishes are always deliciously cooked.
Food also helps bring people together. In Chinese culture, “Ju” (get together)is a very particular word. There are many ways to get together, but the word “Can” is usually added to it in case of festivals, birthday celebrations, moving to new houses, weddings and funeral. “Ju Can”(get together and have dinner)is an important way for Chinese families to bond.
But these ordinarily frugal (节俭的) people often end up wasting food during “Ju Can”. Some reports show that the annual waste of grain in China is close to 6% of the total grain output, of which, the waste rate of a large party is as high as 38%. The food waste is driven by people’s flamboyant nature-they think the plates must be full and taking away packed food from a party is “disgraceful”. The dishes at a dinner party have become a symbol of a person’s wealth and having too many dishes at the menu has become fashionable, thus promoting waste.
Small to a person, a family, big to a country, the whole human race, to survive, to develop, we have to be frugal. Being frugal does not mean being mean, it simply means one is wise enough not to waste food. If the culture of diligence and frugality is more widespread in all countries, it would provide for a stronger foundation for national security and family happiness.
41. Why does the author mention “Sheji” in Paragraph 1?
A. To prove China enjoys a long history.
B. To explain Chinese tradition of cherishing food.
C. To show farming promoted Chinese civilization.
D. To clarify who is the earliest god in China.
42. What does the author intend to show with the example of parts of the poultry and livestock?
A. Chinese cuisine is diverse.
B. Chinese don’t waste food.
C. The ancient Chinese lived a difficult life.
D. Chinese are skillful at cooking delicious food.
43. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The disgraceful behaviour in “Ju Can”.
B. The human nature revealed in food waste.
C. How much food Chinese people waste in “Ju Can”.
D. The food waste in “Ju Can” and the reason behind it.
44. The underlined word “flamboyant” in Paragraph 4 can be understood as .
A. showy B. generous C. unique D. hardworking
45. What does the author most likely want to tell us?
A. Farming is crucial to China’s development.
B. Food plays a vital role in bringing people together.
C. We should cherish food and form the habit of frugality.
D. We mustn’t leave the container completely empty in case of tunning out of food.

In ancient China, farming promoted the development of civilization so people regarded grain as a God.(爱惜粮食是中国古老的传统。在中国古代，农耕推动了文明的发展，人们视粮食为神)”和“The earth God “She” and the grain God “Ji” were the earliest gods worshipped by our ancestors and the country was called “Sheji”. (土神“舍”和谷神“稷”是我们祖先最早崇拜的神，国家被称为“舍稷”)”可知，中国有爱惜粮食的传统，古人把粮食视为神，“社稷”是我们最早崇拜的神。由此推知，提到“社稷”是为了说明中华民族爱惜粮食的传统。故选B。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Chinese believe in food conservation.(中国人崇尚节约粮食)”可知，本段的主旨是中国人节约粮食。由此推知，提到家禽或家畜中不适合做成主菜的部分总是被烹饪得很美味，是为了说明中国人不浪费食物，即使一点点都舍不得扔掉。故选B。
【43题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“But these ordinarily frugal (节俭的) people often end up wasting food during “Ju Can”. Some reports show that the annual waste of grain in China is close to 6% of the total grain output, of which, the waste rate of a large party is as high as 38%. The food waste is driven by people’s flamboyant nature-they think the plates must be full and taking away packed food from a party is “disgraceful”. The dishes at a dinner party have become a symbol of a person’s wealth and having too many dishes at the menu has become fashionable, thus promoting waste.(但这些通常节俭的人往往在“聚餐”期间浪费食物。有报道称，中国每年的粮食浪费接近粮食总产出的6%，其中很大一部分人的浪费率高达38%。食物浪费源于人们的浮夸天性——他们认为盘子必须是满的，从聚会上拿走包装好的食物是“可耻的”。宴会上的菜肴已经成为一个人财富的象征，菜单上有太多的菜肴已经成为一种时尚，从而助长了浪费)”可知，本段主要陈述了人们聚餐造成食物浪费的现象以及背后的原因。故选D。
【44题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“they think the plates must be full and taking away packed food from a party is “disgraceful”. The dishes at a dinner party have become a symbol of a person’s wealth and having too many dishes at the menu has become fashionable (他们认为盘子必须是满的，从聚会上拿走包装好的食物是“丢脸的”。宴会上的菜肴已经成为一个人财富的象征，菜单上有太多的菜肴已经成为一种时尚)”可知，人们认为聚餐时盘子必须装得很满，这样能显示他们的财富，并且觉得带走剩下的食物很丢脸。由此可知，聚餐上的食物浪费源于人们喜欢炫耀的天性。即划线词意为“炫耀的”，与showy同义。故选A。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Small to a person, a family, big to a country, the whole human race, to survive, to develop, we have to be frugal. Being frugal does not mean being mean, it simply means one is wise enough not to waste food. If the culture of diligence and frugality is more widespread in all countries, it would provide for a stronger foundation for national security and family happiness. (小到一个人，一个家庭，大到一个国家，整个人类，要生存，要发展，我们就必须节俭。节俭并不意味着吝啬，它只是意味着一个人足够聪明，不浪费食物。如果勤劳节俭的文化在所有国家更加普及，将为国家安全和家庭幸福奠定更坚实的基础)”推知，作者通过这篇文章主要告诉我们，我们应该珍惜粮食，养成节俭的好习惯。故选C。
C
Suppose there are some coins on the table in front of you. If the number is small, you can tell right away exactly how many there are. You don’t even have to count them — a single glance is enough. Cichlids and stingrays, two kinds of fish, are astonishingly similar to us in this respect: they can detect small quantities precisely — and presumably without counting. For example, they can be trained to reliably distinguish quantities of three from quantities of four.
But how do you ask a cichlid for the result of “2+1” or “5-1”? The researchers showed the fish a collection of geometric shapes — for example, four squares. If these objects were colored blue, this meant “add one” for the following discrimination. Yellow, on the other hand, meant “subtract one.”
After showing the original stimulus (刺激物) (e.g. four squares), the animals were shown two new pictures — one with five and one with three squares. If they swam to the correct picture (i.e. to the five squares in the “blue” arithmetic task), they were rewarded with food. If they gave the wrong answer, they went away empty-handed. Over time, they learned to associate the blue color with an increase of one in the amount shown at the beginning, and the yellow number with a decrease.
“We deliberately left out some calculations during training,” Schluessel explains. “Namely, 3+1 and 3-1.” After the learning phase, the animals got to see these two tasks for the first time. But even in those tests, they significantly often chose the correct answer.” This was true even when they had to decide between choosing four or five objects after being shown a blue 3 — that is, two outcomes that were both greater than the initial value. In this case, the fish chose four over five, indicating they had not learned the rule “chose the largest (or smallest) amount presented” but the rule “always add or subtract one”.
46. How did the researchers tell the fish what to do?
A. They used different colors to represent different calculations.
B. They showed different numbers by various shapes.
C. They asked the fish for the result after showing geometric shapes.
D. They associated geometric shapes with colors.
47. What did the researchers intend to teach the fish in the training?
A. They can get food when swimming to the correct picture.
B. Blue means “add one,” and yellow means “subtract one”.
C. Math plays an important role in one’s life.
D. Five squares in the blue means food.
48. Why did the researchers left out some calculations during the training?
A. To prove that the fish finish the task by memorizing numbers.
B. To indicate the fish can do complicated tasks.
C. To show an important rule the fish had not learned.
D. To check whether the fish can apply this knowledge to new tasks.
49. What is the major finding of the research?
A. Some fish can perform math tasks by memory.
B. Cichlids and stingrays have simple math abilities.
C. All fish are smarter than we used to think.
D. Scientific training is the key to math.
【答案】46. A 47. B 48. D 49. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，研究表明，慈鲷和黄貂鱼两种鱼有简单的数学能力。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The researchers showed the fish a collection of geometric shapes — for example, four squares. If these objects were colored blue, this meant ‘add one’ for the following discrimination. Yellow, on the other hand, meant ‘subtract one.’(研究人员向这些鱼展示了一系列几何形状，例如，四个正方形。如果这些物体是蓝色的，这意味着‘加一’来进行下面的区分。另一方面，黄色的意思是‘减一’)”可知，研究人员用不同的颜色来代表不同的计算来告诉鱼怎么做。故选A项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段讲述的训练过程及最后一句“Over time, they learned to associate the blue color with an increase of one in the amount shown at the beginning, and the yellow number with a decrease.(随着时间的推移，它们学会了将蓝色与开始显示的数量加一联系起来，而将黄色与数量减少联系起来)”可知，研究者想要教会鱼蓝色代表“加一”，黄色代表“减一”。故选B项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We deliberately left out some calculations during training (我们在训练期间故意省略了一些算式)”和“After the learning phase, the animals got to see these two tasks for the first time. But even in those tests, they significantly often chose the correct answer.(学习阶段结束后，动物们第一次看到了这两个任务。但即使在这些测试中，它们也往往选择了正确答案)”可知，研究者故意遗漏一些算式，是为了看看鱼是否能将学到的知识（蓝色代表“加一”，黄色代表“减一”）应用到新的任务中，结果证明鱼能把所学东西运用于实践。故选D项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Suppose there are some coins on the table in front of you. If the number is small, you can tell right away exactly how many there are. You don’t even have to count them — a single glance is enough. Cichlids and stingrays, two kinds of fish, are astonishingly similar to us in this respect: they can detect small quantities precisely — and presumably without counting. For example, they can be trained to reliably distinguish quantities of three from quantities of four.(假设你面前的桌子上有一些硬币。如果这个数字很小，你可以马上知道到底有多少。你甚至不必数一数，一眼就够了。慈鲷和黄貂鱼这两种鱼类在这方面与我们惊人地相似：它们可以精确地检测到少量的鱼，而且可能不需要计数。例如，可以训练他们可靠地区分三的数量和四的数量)”和及最后一段中“In this case, the fish chose four over five, indicating they had not learned the rule “chose the largest (or smallest) amount presented” but the rule “always add or subtract one”.(在这种情况下，鱼选择了4而不是5，表明它们没有学习‘选择最大（或最小）的数量’的规则，但学习了‘总是加或减1’的规则)”可知，这项研究的主要发现是慈鲷和黄貂鱼有简单的数学能力。故选B项。
D
The concept of a “born leader” seems so fanciful that it belongs on the cover of a bad business book. But it turns out that born leaders are real, and researchers have discovered a key factor, which isn’t genes, parents, or peers, but birth order.
First-born children are 30 percent more likely to be CEOs or politicians, according to a new paper by several economists, Sandra E. Black at the University of Texas-Austin, and Bjorn Ockert and Erik Gronqvist at Sweden’s Institute for Evaluation of Labor Market and Education Policy. The paper, which only looked at boys, found that first-borns stay in school longer, make more money, have a higher IQ, and even spend more time on homework than on television,
The idea that birth order might shape personality goes back at least to the 1920s, when Alfred Adler theorized that first-born children develop a “taste for power” at a young age, since they can dominate their younger siblings. He went on to say young children are spoiled and become dependent on their parents (the “baby of the family” effect), while middle children, being often in a war for their parents’ attention, are status-conscious and naturally competitive.
Obtaining personality from birth may strike you. But Adler’s hypotheses (假说) have held up in numerous studies. In a 2013 paper, “Strategic Parenting, Birth Order and School Performance,” V. Joseph Hotz, a professor of economics at Duke University, and Juan Pantano, a professor of economics at Washington University in St. Louis, used American data to show that school performance declines with birth order.
The researchers chalked their findings up to what they called the “reputational model of strategic parenting.” Put simply, parents invest a lot of time in establishing rules for their first child, building a reputation for toughness that they hope will pass down to later children. As a result, first-borns are doubly blessed — having too much of their parents’ attention, and then entrusted to act as the rules enforcer of the family, which helps them build intelligence, discipline, and leadership qualities. In the survey, parents report that they consider their older children more successful, and they are less likely to discipline their later-born children for improper behaviors, such as acting up or not doing homework.
This new study relies on Swedish data, and it comes to a similar conclusion. First-borns aren’t just healthier or smarter, but also they score higher on “emotional stability, persistence, social outgoingness, willingness to assume responsibility and ability to take the initiative.” Its researchers ruled out genetic factors; in fact, they uncovered evidence that later-born children might be healthier than first-borns.
Instead, the differences among siblings had everything to do with family dynamics in the children’s early years. First, having more children means parents can spend less time on each child, and as the parental investment declines, so may IQ.
Second, the most important effect, the researchers said, might not be the “strategic parenting” but something more like “strategic brothering.” As siblings compete for their parents’ love (or ice cream, or toys), they occupy certain positions---older siblings demonstrate their competence and power, while younger siblings develop more creative strategies to get attention. This effect seems particularly strong among later-born boys with older brothers. Younger brothers are much more likely to enter “creative” occupations — like architect, writer, actor, singer, or photographer — if they have older brothers, rather than older sisters. In other words, among young brothers, specialization within the family forecasts specialization in the workforce.
There is a considerable implication in this idea that family dynamics during childhood can shape adult personality. Young children are highly sensitive to their environment, in ways that often have lasting effects.
50. First-born children are more likely to be CEOs or politicians because _____.
A. they are born to have leadership qualities
B. teachers and parents invest more time in educating them
C. later-born children need them to set good examples
D. they have a lot of practice in bossing around their younger siblings
51. What can we learn about Alfred Adler?
A. His research was based on American data.
B. His hypotheses were applied in many studies.
C. He held the idea that first-born children should be independent.
D. He thought that children’s personality was affected by birth order.
52. According to the 2013 paper, if a child does not behave as well as his elder brother at school, it may be due to the fact that he ______.
A. has a lower IQ and EQ
B. is badly treated by school teachers
C receives less attention from his parents
D. is spoiled too much by other family members
53. What are the findings of the new study based on?
A. Swedish data on boys.
B. Controlled experiments on children.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。“天生的领导者”这一概念似乎太异想天开了，以至于它应该出现在一本糟糕的商业书籍的封面上。但事实证明，天生的领导者是真实存在的，研究人员发现了一个关键因素，不是基因、父母或同伴，而是出生顺序。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“First-born children are 30 percent more likely to be CEOs or politicians (第一个出生的孩子成为CEO或政治家的可能性要高出30%)”以及第三段中“The idea that birth order might shape personality goes back at least to the 1920s, when Alfred Adler theorized that first-born children develop a “taste for power” at a young age, since they can dominate their younger siblings. (出生顺序可能会塑造性格的观点至少可以追溯到20世纪20年代，当时Alfred Adler提出理论，第一个出生的孩子在很小的时候就养成了“权力的品味”，因为他们可以主宰自己的弟弟妹妹)”可推知，长子长女更有可能成为CEO或政治家，因为他们有很多对弟弟妹妹发号施令的习惯。故选D项。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The idea that birth order might shape personality goes back at least to the 1920s, when Alfred Adler theorized that first-born children develop a “taste for power” at a young age, since they can dominate their younger siblings. (出生顺序可能会塑造性格的观点至少可以追溯到20世纪20年代，当时Alfred Adler提出理论，第一个出生的孩子在很小的时候就养成了“权力的品味”，因为他们可以主宰自己的弟弟妹妹)”可知，Alfred Adler认为孩子的性格会受出生顺序的影响。故选D项。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“As a result, first-borns are doubly blessed — having too much of their parents’ attention,and then entrusted to act as the rules enforcer of the family, which helps them build intelligence, discipline, and leadership qualities.In the survey, parents report that they consider their older children more successful, and they are less likely to discipline their later-born children for improper behaviors, such as acting up or not doing homework. (因此，第一个出生的孩子是双重的幸运——拥有父母太多的关注，然后被委托作为家庭规则的执行者，这有助于他们培养智慧、纪律和领导素质。在调查中，父母表示，他们认为年龄较大的孩子更成功，而且他们不太可能因为晚生孩子的不当行为（如调皮捣蛋或不做家庭作业）而惩罚他们)”可知，根据2013年的论文，如果一个孩子在学校的表现不如他的哥哥，这可能是因为他很少受到父母的关注。故选C项。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段第一句“This new study relies on Swedish data, and it comes to a similar conclusion. (这项新研究基于瑞典的数据，并得出了类似的结论)”可知，这项新研究的发现是基于瑞典男孩的数据。故选A项。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段最后一句“in fact, they uncovered evidence that later-born children might be healthier than first-borns. (事实上，他们发现了后生孩子可能比长子更健康的证据)”可知，新的研究发现，出生较晚的孩子可能身体强壮。故选D项。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“There is a considerable implication in this idea that family dynamics during childhood can shape adult personality. Young children are highly sensitive to their environment, in ways that often have lasting effects.(童年时期的家庭动态可以塑造成人的性格，这一观点有相当重要的含义。幼儿对环境高度敏感，往往会产生持久的影响)”可知，作者认为，父母应该为他们的孩子创造一个良好的家庭环境。故选A项。

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
“I wish that in one instant I could tell you of my safe arrival, but we are 3,000 miles apart and must wait for long weeks to hear from each other.” Samuel Morse was 20 when he wrote this sentence in a letter to his mother in 1811. He was in London studying art. She was at the home in Charlestown, Mass, USA, where he had been born. Perhaps it was at the moment of writing the letter that young Morse first had the desire to bridge space with flying words. This desire was later to give the world the electric telegraph.
Samuel returned in 1815 to work on history painting much admired in Europe. Morse completed an oil painting The House of Representatives, expecting that this would bring him fame. But there was hardly any demand in the United Stated for history painting, and he unwillingly started to support himself by painting portraits. He was often close to poverty during his career as an artist.
During a voyage from Europe to America in 1832, Morse met Thomas Jackson, a scientist who had recently attended lectures on electricity in Paris. Conversations with Jackson made the artist believe that an electrical current could be used for communication.
During the rest of the voyage he worked excitedly on drawings for his plan. After his arrival at home, he abandoned his artistic career to give his full attention to the project.
Morse had an fertile mind but little knowledge of electricity. He did years of work and study to perfect his invention. In 1837 he applied for a patent on The American Electromagnetic Telegraph. Finally, in 1843 the United States Congress provided 30,000 to build a line from Washington to Baltimore.
In May 1844 the first message was flashed over this wire. Newspapers, railroads, and businesses quickly found use for the telegraph, which for the first time created a global community.
56. What did Morse find after returning from Europe in 1815? (no more than 10 words)
_______________________________________________________
57. What does the underlined word “fertile” mean? (no more than 1 word)
_______________________________________________________
58. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? (no more than 10 words)

59. How does the author organize the passage? (no more than 5 words)
_______________________________________________________
60. What do you think can enable a person to succeed in a certain field? (no more than 20 words)
_______________________________________________________
【答案】56. Americans had little interest in history painting.
57. Creative/Clever/Original/Inventive.
58. How Morse got the idea for his invention.
59. In order of time.
60. To achieve success in a field, one must work hard and have interest in it.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了享有盛誉的美国画家、电报之父——塞缪尔·莫尔斯。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。由第二段中的“But there was hardly any demand in the United Stated for history painting, and he unwillingly started to support himself by painting portraits. (但在美国几乎没有任何历史绘画的需求，他不情愿地开始通过画肖像画来养活自己)”可知，莫尔斯1815年从欧洲回来后发现美国人对历史绘画几乎没有兴趣，故答案为：Americans had little interest in history painting.
【57题详解】
考查词句猜测。由第五段中的“Morse had an fertile mind but little knowledge of electricity. He did years of work and study to perfect his invention. In 1837 he applied for a patent on The American Electromagnetic Telegraph. (莫尔斯有一个fertile头脑，但对电知之甚少。他做了多年的工作和研究来完善他的发明。1837年，他申请了《美国电磁电报》的专利)”和最后一段中的“In May 1844 the first message was flashed over this wire. (1844年5月，第一条消息在这条电线上闪现。)”可知，从画家转型为发明家，最后发明成功了，可得出他是一个聪明、有创造精神的人，画线单词意为“聪明的、有创造力的”，故答案为：Creative/Clever/Original/Inventive.
【58题详解】
考查主旨大意。由第三段“During a voyage from Europe to America in 1832, Morse met Thomas Jackson, a scientist who had recently attended lectures on electricity in Paris. Conversations with Jackson made the artist believe that an electrical current could be used for communication (1832年，在一次从欧洲到美国的航行中，莫尔斯遇到了科学家托马斯·杰克逊，他最近在巴黎参加了关于电的讲座。与杰克逊的对话使这位艺术家相信电流可以用来交流)”可知，第三段主要讲莫尔斯是如何想到他的发明构思的，故答案为：How Morse got the idea for his invention.
【59题详解】
考查推理判断。由第一段中的“Samuel Morse was 20 when he wrote this sentence in a letter to his mother in 1811. (1811年，20岁的塞缪尔·莫尔斯在给母亲的信中写下这句话)”，第二段中的“Samuel returned in 1815 to work on history painting much admired in Europe. (塞缪尔于1815年回国，从事在欧洲备受推崇的历史绘画)”，第三段中的“During a voyage from Europe to America in 1832, Morse met Thomas Jackson, a scientist who had recently attended lectures on electricity in Paris. (1832年，在一次从欧洲到美国的航行中，莫尔斯遇到了科学家托马斯·杰克逊，他最近在巴黎参加了关于电的讲座)”，第五段中的“In 1837 he applied for a patent on The American Electromagnetic Telegraph. Finally, in 1843 the United States Congress provided 30,000 to build a line from Washington to Baltimore. (1837年，他申请了《美国电磁电报》的专利。最后，1843年，美国国会拨款30000英镑修建从华盛顿到巴尔的摩的电线)”和最后一段中的“In May 1844 the first message was flashed over this wire. (1844年5月，第一条消息在这条电线上闪现。)”可知，作者按照时间的先后顺序叙述本文，故答案为：In order of time.
【60题详解】
考查开放答题。考生可根据塞缪尔·莫尔斯的生活经历合理发表见解，如：要在一个领域取得成功，必须努力工作并对其感兴趣，故答案为：To achieve success in a field, one must work hard and have interest in it.
