One dilemma that the super famous face is balancing the needs of privacy and recognition.
For some stars privacy is an overvalued thing. In 1919, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford went on their European honeymoon. The two international idols had divorced their previous spouses （配偶）and were concerned about how they would be greeted. They needn’t have worried. In London their car was surrounded by admiring women who pulled Mary out of the car to shake her hand, still grateful after two years for her efforts selling war bonds. In Paris they couldn’t get any sleep with crowds gathering below their hotel room to sing and play for them. In Amsterdam they attended a party and were mobbed （包围）by other guests who wanted to get close to them. The athletic Fairbanks placed his wife on his shoulder and escaped through the window. Finally, they found privacy in Hamburg, where their movies were not shown because of World War I. For an hour the famous newly-married couple walked the streets unnoticed until the bored Mary turned to her husband and said, “Doug, I’m sick of this. Let’s go back to one of those countries where they mob us.”
Joan Crawford had similar feelings. Once in the 1930s she was staying in New York getting over her breakup with Clark Gable. Tired of staying around her hotel feeling so down she told her entourage （随从） they should go out and get some fresh air. The entourage, who had trouble keeping up with the star’s quick pace, were shocked when she walked away from their planned road. "Oh my God. She’s going into Grand Central Station!" Someone shouted, “Look, it’s Joan Crawford! And she was mobbed. It took them thirty minutes to escape the crowd and get back to their hotel suite. Her hair disheveled （凌乱），her dress tom and her face scratched, Crawford leaned against the door out of breath. "Oh.,. oh my. That was wonderful. Let’s do it again!”
4. What did Douglas and Mary worry about before going to Europe?
A. Nobody would greet them.
B. They wouldn’t be welcomed.

A. Hamburg was too quiet a place for her.
B. Her movies weren’t shown in Hamburg.
C. She fell ill after arriving in a new place.
D. She didn’t really enjoy privacy so much.
6. What did Joan Crawford think of her being mobbed in New York?
A. Amusing. B. Enjoyable. C. Dangerous. D. Embarrassing.
7. The author tells stories about the movie stars to show that______.
A. they may feel down from time to time
B. they deserve people’s love and respect
C. they need both privacy and public attention
D. they are not always popular around the world

On February 6, 2020, American astronaut Christina Koch arrived back on Earth after 328 days in space. Her time in space is just one of the records set by herself. That’s the longest spaceflight ever made by a woman, and just one of the many things Ms. Koch achieved in space.
Ms. Koch took off from Earth for the International Space Station (ISS) on March 12, 2019. While in space, she made 5, 248 trips around the Earth, travelling 2, 237 million kilometers, which is roughly the same as 291 trips to the Moon and back. During her 11 months on the ISS, Ms. Koch took part in six spacewalks, spending over 42 hours in all outside the station. In October of 2019, Ms. Koch led the first ever all-female spacewalk with Jessica Meir.
But for most astronauts, space travel isn’t about setting records. It’s about doing science. Ms. Koch took part in a wide variety of special experiments, including studying how crystals (晶体) grow in space, how atoms (原子) behave in extreme cold and learning more about growing plants in low gravity. Growing plants in space could be an important way to provide food on future trips. She also tested a new way of separating liquids from gases. This experiment could lead to simple methods of cleaning water and air in space, which could be very important for future space travel.
Ms. Koch isn’t just a scientist and an astronaut. She is also being studied. She’s part of a NASA program studying how astronauts are affected by being in space for long periods of time. Her trip was only 12 days shorter than the American record set by Scott Kelly in 2016. As they did with Mr. Kelly, NASA scientists are looking carefully at ways Ms. Koch’s body has been affected by her time in space. That research is important for the longer space trips NASA hopes to make in the future, such as for a base on the moon or a trip to Mars.
8. Which of the following is an achievement Ms. Koch has made?
A. Making the longest spaceflight by herself.
B. Leading the first women-only spacewalk.
C. Cleaning water and air successfully in space.
D. Staying outside the ISS continuously for 42 hours.
9. What does the author want to tell us with so many detailed figures in Paragraph 2?
A. Koch made historic breakthroughs in space.
B. Koch went through a life-threatening space trip.
C. Koch completed admirable tasks in the space travel.
D. Koch is the most experienced astronaut in NASA.
10. Which statement agrees with the text?
A Astronauts are competing to set new records.
B. Koch’s team produced their own food in space.
C. NASA has founded a scientific base on the moon.
D. Koch’s research is significant for space exploration.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Record-Setting Astronaut Koch Returns to Earth
B. US Astronauts Carried out Experiments in Space
C. Spacewalks Have Successfully Been Done on the ISS
D. NASA is Studying Astronauts for Longer Space Trips
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了美国宇航员Koch女士做了创记录的太空飞行之后返回了地球，以及她为太空飞行所做出的巨大贡献。

细节理解题。根据第二段In October of 2019, Ms. Koch led the first ever all-female spacewalk with Jessica Meir.“在2019年10月， Koch女士与Jessica Meir 一起领导了第一次只有女性的太空旅行。所以可知，Koch女士领导了第一次只有女性的太空旅行。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句That’s the longest spaceflight ever made by a woman, and just one of the many things Ms. Koch achieved in space.可知，这次最长时间的太空旅行只是Koch女士在太空中完成的任务之一。然后在接下来的第二段就用大量的数字列举了她在太空旅行中完成了很多令人敬佩的任务。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段This experiment could lead to simple methods of cleaning water and air in space, which could be very important for future space travel.可知，Koch女士的实验可以导致一种简单的清洗太空中的水和空气的方法，所以可知，她的研究对于未来的空间探索具有重要意义。故选D。
【11题详解】
标题判断题。主要介绍了美国宇航员Koch女士做了创记录的太空飞行之后返回了地球，以及她为太空飞行所做出的巨大贡献。所以最佳题目：创纪录的宇航员Koch返回地球。故选A。
D
In habitats across the planet, animals periodically drop everything to walk, fly or swim to a new place. Wildlife such as whales and geese learn migration paths by following their parents. Others, including small songbirds, gain the distance and direction of their migration within their genetic code. And some animals use a combination of genetics and culture to guide their migration.
Another group of migrators does not quite fit either model, and researchers have only recently started to figure out how they find their way. Take the Cory’s shearwater, an oceangoing sea bird that migrates over the Atlantic every year. The young do not migrate with their parents, so culture cannot explain their journeys. And the exact paths vary wildly from individual to individual, making genetics equally unlikely.
Cory’s shearwaters are long-lived, rarely producing young successfully before age nine. This leaves an opening for learning and practice to develop their migration patterns. Researchers call this the “exploration-refinement”, and until now it has been hypothetical (假设的) because of difficulties in tracking migratory animals’ movements.
But a team of researchers has done that by attaching small geolocators to more than 150 of the birds aged four to nine. They found that younger birds traveled longer distances, for longer periods, and had more diverse paths than older birds. “We finally have evidence of the ‘exploration-refinement’ for migratory birds,” says Letizia Campioni, who led the study. Younger Cory’s shearwaters are able to fly just as fast as the adults— but they do not, suggesting that the young do more exploring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle into a preferred course.
Although it may seem less efficient than other strategies, “exploration refinement could be beneficial to birds and other organisms in a rapidly changing world due to unpredictable man-made changes,” says Barbara Frei. “It might be safer to repeat a behavior that was recently successful than to rely on patterns that were perfected long ago but might no longer be safe.”
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about? .
A. It describes animals’ habitats. B. It talks about migration models.
C. It compares different species. D. It introduces a tracking technology.
13. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The opening for learning and practice.
B. The unique living habit of Cory’s shearwaters.
C. The way Cory’s shearwaters form their migration patterns.
D. The process scientists track Cory’s shearwaters’ movements.
14. What does Letizia’s study find about the younger Cory’s shearwaters?
A. They travel as much as adult birds.
B. They move in a predictable manner.
C. They lower the speed for exploration.
D. They look for a course with their parents.
15. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A. Man-made changes make migration easier.
B. Animals make a safer journey via a fixed track.
C. Course exploration contributes to birds’ adaptability.
D. A combination of strategies assures migration success.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对科里海鸥迁徙的模式的研究。
12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Wildlife such as whales and geese learn migration paths by following their parents. Others, including small songbirds, gain the distance and direction of their migration within their genetic code. And some animals use a combination of genetics and culture to guide their migration.(像鲸鱼和大雁这样的野生动物通过跟随父母学习迁徙路线。其他鸟类，包括小型鸣禽，在它们的遗传密码中获得了迁徙的距离和方向。一些动物利用遗传和文化的结合来指导它们的迁移)”可知，本段主要讲述动物迁徙的模式。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Cory’s shearwaters are long-lived, rarely producing young successfully before age nine. This leaves an opening for learning and practice to develop their migration patterns.(科里海鸥的寿命很长，很少能在九岁之前成功产下幼崽。这为学习和实践发展它们的迁移模式提供了机会)”和“Researchers call this the “exploration-refinement”(研究人员称之为“探索-精炼”)”可知，此处指研究人员称这种模式为“探索-精炼”，第三段中划线的this指代的是科里海鸥形成迁徙模式的方式。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Younger Cory’s shearwaters are able to fly just as fast as the adults— but they do not, suggesting that the young do more exploring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle into a preferred course.(年轻的科里海鸥能够和成年海鸥一样快地飞行，但它们没有，这表明年轻的科里海鸥会进行更多的探索，随着它们成熟并确定了自己喜欢的路线，这种探索逐渐消失)”可知，莱蒂齐亚的研究发现小科里海鸥为了探索降低了它们的飞行速度。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Although it may seem less efficient than other strategies, “exploration refinement could be beneficial to birds and other organisms in a rapidly changing world due to unpredictable man-made changes,” says Barbara Frei.(芭芭拉·弗雷说：“尽管它看起来比其他策略效率低，但在一个由于不可预测的人为变化而迅速变化的世界中，探索精炼可能对鸟类和其他生物有益”)”推知，路线探索有助于鸟类的适应能力。故选C项。
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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Supporting Others
We’re always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others. Indeed, it’s natural to want to support those we care about, especially if we are in a position to do so.___16___
When we offer support, it may not always be wanted. ___17___ In this case, offering support in the manner of “... if l were you, I would ...” can feel like a scolding rather than support. If our support feels conditional, it can feel burdensome.
___18___ When someone is trying to manage illness or a house move, just saying “What would help you today?” can be amazingly supportive. Or, suggest what you can do for them: picking up some shopping, taking the dog for a walk. Even if it’s not needed, just knowing you’ ve been thought of can be supportive in itself.
Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling, rather than enabling. My son, when aged five, wanted to make a cup of tea. I could see how inspiring it was for him to be able to do this. So I filled the kettle and took him through the safety measures. It felt like a huge risk but it worked. His pleasure was immeasurable. The same principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else’s capacity. ___19___
Sometimes the only support that’s needed is to listen without judgement. ___20___ This reassures them that someone cares enough to listen while they ground themselves. When times are tough, remember to keep things stable. Waiting until the storm has passed is all it takes.
Support often works best when it’s a two-way process. It is good to know how to accept help from others as well as offer support to them.
A. Here are the pros and cons of supporting others.
B. Just be there, while someone lets out their feelings.
C. Ask what support is needed and provide a practical one.
D. This can often be a bigger gift than just doing it for them.
E. But we can do more by thinking about the support we offer.
F. Because being judgmental can only make someone annoyed.
G. Sometimes people are trying to manage life in their own way.
【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. D 20. B

【17题详解】
由上一句“When we offer support, it may not always be wanted.(当我们提供支持时，它可能并不总是被需要的)”和下一句“In this case, offering support in the manner of “... if I were you, I would ...” can feel like a scolding rather than support.(在这种情况下，以一种“如果我是你……，我会……)”的方式提供帮助，感觉像是一种斥责而不是支持。”可知，此空承上启下。G选项:“Sometimes people are trying to manage life in their own way.(有时人们想用自己的方式管理生活)”与上文“it may not always be wanted(它可能并不总是被需要的)”和下文“In this case(在这种情况下)”相呼应。故选G。
【18题详解】
由下文“ When someone is trying to manage illness or a house move, just saying “What would help you today?” can be amazingly supportive (当别人正试图处理疾病或者搬家的时候，只是说一句“有什么能帮你的吗？就是一种极大的支持)”可知，C选项：Ask what support is needed and provide a practical one.(询问需要什么支持并提供一个实际的)符合语境，选项中“Ask what support is needed(询问需要什么支持)”与下文“just saying, What would help you today?( 只是说一句，有什么能帮你的吗?)”相呼应。故选C。
【19题详解】
由上一句“The same principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else’s capacity.(同样的原则也适用于，当我们提供支持以增强一个人的能力时)”可知，D选项：This can often be a bigger gift than just doing it for them.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了农作物多样性对于养活地球上不断增长的人口非常重要。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：农业专家表示，作物多样性对于养活地球上不断增长的人口非常重要。分析句意再根据空格后的名词population可知，此处应该用提示词的形容词形式来修饰名词。故填increasing。
【37题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：他们说，拥有大量种类的植物还有助于防止可能的作物疾病和未来的危机。空处为宾语从句的谓语动词，陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语 having a large variety of plants看作第三人称单数，故填helps。

【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：决定它们品质的丰富的基因集合将随着它们一起消失。分析句式结构可知，此处是定语从句，先行词词gene是物，且从句中缺少主语，所以用关系代词that或which来引导，故填that/which。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：他们说，人类活动和规划不周、过度使用土地也是罪魁祸首。分析句式结构可知，此处用名词作主语，且activity是可数名词，此处用复数形式表泛指，故填activities。

【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：农民在机器的帮助下种植、灌溉和施肥。分析句意再根据空格后的the help of可知，此处用介词构成固定短语with the help of表示“在……的帮助下”符合语境。故填with。
【44题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：他们用化学药品处理田地以防治病虫害。分析句式结构可知，此处用动词不定式作目的状语符合语境。故填to control。

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Joe and I had been looking forward to our retirement. However, when he suffered a heart attack last spring, he was forced to leave his job as a truck driver earlier than we had planned. As the medical bills increased, we realized I would have to continue working full-time while Joe stayed home and took over the housework.
This new arrangement was a disaster. One night, when I dragged myself to bed, I was horrified to discover Joe had turned our white sheets blue. He told me he had found out how to save on water, soap and electricity. He patted his blue trousers and announced proudly washing everything together was the secret.
When I awoke to the deafening rain the next morning, all I wanted was a hot home-cooked meal. However, what greeted me at the table was a microwave package. I knew my husband had his faults, but I thought he at least knew how to cook! I knew if I didn’t leave the house soon I would lose my temper with him. As the heavy rain thundered down outside, Joe offered to drive me to work. I ignored him as I struggled into my jacket and seized my bag with my teaching plans inside.
He insisted that he would take me and reached for his boots. I looked at the piles of newspapers and the dirty dishes still on the table. “Don’t you have enough to do? I can take care of myself.” I stormed out, not even kissing him goodbye. Joe shouted after me not to take the shortcut (捷径).
Ten minutes later, I ignored Joe’s warning and turned off the main route to take the shortcut. I thought it hadn’t rained enough to flood the road, but as I rounded the corner, water rushed across my path. After a few feet, the car got stuck. I opened the door and water poured in. I hurriedly closed the door. I couldn’t risk walking in this. Almost 20 minutes passed. The car began to shake. 1 got the fright of my life when I heard three long honks (喇叭声).

【答案】Looking over my shoulder, I stared into the flashing lights of a familiar truck. I realized that Joe had come to rescue me. My heart danced with joy when I heard Joe’s voice. Following his instructions, I climbed out of the sunroof. When I got out, I found that Joe had turned the truck round for me to get on. Joe drove to higher ground. He rapidly got out of the vehicle and helped me into the passenger’s seat. When I thought about how I had treated him earlier, my eyes watered.
After getting back to our warm home, Joe held my hand tight. He was wet all over, but wrapped a blanket around me first. In a whispering voice, he admitted it was his fault for not doing the housework properly. It didn’t make me angry anymore when I thought of Joe’s heroic rescue. I also realized that our current life was new to both of us. We had to allow each other the time to get used to it. With this thought, I opened my arms to Joe and said, “Darling, I forgive you.”
