点睛：本题考查时态。分析选项可以知道，4个选项都用了被动语态，本题考查的其实是不同的时态。选项A是过去时；选项B是一般现在时的被动；选项C是现在进行时；选项D是现在完成时。再结合语境进行分析，最终判断出最佳答案。

点睛：本题考查强调句，要求有学生掌握好强调句的常用句型以及相关知识的能力。分析句子时首先要看清楚结构，It is / was…开头而后面跟句子时就要看它是不是强调句了。强调句有一个特点：拿掉It was/is…that…后不影响整个句子的完整性，则是强调句。判断完是不是强调句后再根据强调的部分是人还是物来选择连接词that或者是who。

二、 词汇填空


UCLA environmental law professor Sean Hecht was walking across the campus recently when he photographed four food-delivery robots that couldn’t figure out a way around a pile of discarded electric scooters.
“Automated food delivery robots were apparently all ___1___ behind a carelessly placed scooter. I just observed a couple of students clearing a path out of pity for the robots,” Hecht tweeted, “This is our future, I guess.” Twitter jumped on Hecht’s post with enthusiasm: Some said they would have helped the robots. Others said, no way, no help. Some joked about turning the robots over onto their backs.
It’s not easy being a delivery robot. They have been kicked by angry pedestrians, peed on by dogs, and ___2___ by heavy glass doors, among other misfortunes. They’ve become popular___3___ of online fail videos. In these videos they can be seen falling down stairs, bumping into a fire hydrant (消防栓) and ___4___ up a ramp (斜坡) much too quickly. And, of course, crashing.
There are also some potential___5___ to overcome before delivery robots can be widely adopted. Many people still have concerns with their safety, not to mention the possibility of sidewalk congestion (拥堵) and job loss. Plus, they have a fairly low carrying capacity, which is a/an___6___ factor to the limited number and type of deliveries that they can complete. Moreover, the robots need to remain within a certain radius (半径) of a charging station, so they are also ___7___ in their potential range. This could make their ___8___ slow, especially in those areas which are located farther from the country’s major city centers. It is also worth noting that even if the delivery robots themselves are powered by electricity, the source of the electricity may not be environmentally friendly. This is another concern that will need to be ___9___ as their usage grows.
    Society’s growing____10____ for contactless delivery services have helped driven up demand for delivery bots. It seems, however, that these machines still have a long way to go.

四、阅读理解
A
Many Chinese people used to greet each other with “Have you had your meal?” to show their friendliness. Recently, a new greeting has appeared in many Chinese cities, namely “Have you lost weight?”
In recent years, food-delivery services have been growing and Chinese people can easily get access to foods from all over the world. But people are paying more and more attention to their health. On food-delivery platforms, meal replacement and food labeled with “low calories” and “light food” are becoming popular. More people are becoming familiar with various terms, such as “zero sugar” and “low-calorie Fast Diet plan.”
“I used to eat a lot of unhealthy food, which brought me much trouble,” Chen Xin, a programmer in Hangzhou said. “Following instructions from my nutritionist, I can feel that my body is in good condition again.”
As the quality of life for most has greatly improved over the past decades, most people no longer need to worry about whether they have enough food, but rather whether they have a healthy diet. According to statistics from global market research firm Euromonitor International, the global meal replacement market reached $66.16 billion in 2017, of which the Chinese market contributed about $8.45 billion. The number is expected to double in 2022.
Despite healthier diets, many people believe, to lose weight, exercise is also of vital importance. Besides training in the gym, many people choose to take fitness equipment home. Over the past two years, the online consumption of fitness equipment has increased greatly, particularly among women who attach great importance to body management. Many people even like to run marathons. In China’s major cities, holding marathons has become a fashion. 1,828 marathons were held nationwide in 2019, with 7.12 million participants.
According to Wang Hufeng, a professor at the Renmin University of China, health is a major issue of concern for the Chinese people and health is becoming a huge industry. “Health is an important indicator of a state’s soft power, and the improvement of overall health conditions can have a positive impact on economic development,” Wang said.
1．What can we know about the change of people’s greeting?
A．People become friendlier to others. B．People care less about their meals.
C．People show greater concern on health. D．People prefer a more direct manner.
2．The statistics in paragraph 4 indicate that .
A．China has greater buying power in food
B．food trading in China is expected to grow in 2022
C．Chinese people are more willing to spend on food
D．Chinese people are changing their food choice greatly
3．What can we infer from Professor Wang?
A．Health plays an important role in society.
B．Food safety should be stressed in the future.
C．China’s economy depends on health industry.
D．Government should develop health care industry.
4．What is the text mainly about?
A．A food market study. B．A trend in lifestyle.
C．Enthusiasm about exercise. D．Benefits of healthy diet.

【答案】1．C    2．D    3．A    4．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了中国人如今越来越重视自己的健康了，分析了产生这一现象的原因以及专家对此的看法。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Recently, a new greeting has emerged in many Chinese cities, namely “Have you lost weight?”(最近，在中国许多城市出现了一种新的问候语，那就是“你减肥了吗?”)”以及第二段中“But people are paying more and more attention totheir health.(但是人们越来越重视自己的健康)”可知，从人们问候语的变化，我们可以了解到人们更加关注健康。故选C项。。
2．推理判断题。根据第四段中“As the quality of life for most has greatly improved over the past decades, most people no longer need to worry about whether they have enough food, but rather whether they have a healthy diet. According to statistics from global market research firm Euromonitor International, the global meal replacement market reached $66.16 billion in 2017, of which the Chinese market contributed about $8.45 billion. The number is expected to double in 2022.(在过去的几十年里，大多数人的生活质量有了很大的提高，大多数人不再需要担心他们是否有足够的食物，而是他们是否有一个健康的饮食。根据全球市场研究公司欧睿信息咨询(Euromonitor International)的统计数据，2017年全球代餐市场规模达到661.6亿美元，其中中国市场贡献了约84.5亿美元。预计到2022年，这一数字将翻一番)”可知，大多数人不再需要担心他们是否有足够的食物，而是他们是否有一个健康的饮食，所以第四段中的统计数字表明中国人正在极大地改变他们的食物选择。故选D项。
3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Health is an important indicator of a state 's soft power, and the improvement of overall health conditions can have a positive impact on economic development,”Wang said.(“健康是一个国家软实力的重要指标，整体健康状况的改善可以对经济发展产生积极影响”王说)”可推知，健康在社会中起着重要作用。故选A项。
4．主旨大意题。根据第二段中“In recent years, food-delivery services have been growing and Chinese people can easily get access to foods from all over the world. But people are paying more and more attention to their health.(近年来，外卖服务不断发展，中国人可以很容易地获得来自世界各地的食物。但是人们越来越重视他们的健康)”以及第四段“As the quality of life for most has greatly improved over the past decades, most people no longer need to worry about whether they have enough food, but rather whether they have a healthy diet.(在过去的几十年里，大多数人的生活质量有了很大的提高，大多数人不再需要担心他们是否有足够的食物，而是他们是否有一个健康的饮食)”和倒数第二段中“Despite healthier diets, many people believe, to lose weight, exercise is also of vital importance. Besides training in the gym, many people choose to take fitness equipment home. Over the past two years, the online consumption of fitness equipment has increased greatly, particularly among women who attach great importance to body management.(除了更健康的饮食，许多人相信，要减肥，运动也至关重要。除了在健身房训练，许多人选择把健身器材带回家。近两年来，网上健身器材的消费大幅增长，尤其在重视身体管理的女性群体中)”可知，本文主要讲述了中国人现在越来越注重健康饮食和锻炼，追求一种健康的生活方式，所以本文主要是讲一种生活方式的趋势。故选B项。
B
Technology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages. The next time you’re in a crowded public place, look at the people around you. It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous (荒谬的) that someone is that addicted to such a small object. I’ve seen people who seem to be at their wits’ end if their phone has been taken away, lost or left at home.
Some people may ask, “What’s wrong with technology use? It’s a way for people to communicate.” While this is true, the overuse of technology isn’t always suitable in certain settings. Schools are becoming stricter about the use of mobile phones, iPods and other electronics in classrooms. Various workplaces have signs hanging on their walls warning employees that “Mobile phone use is not permitted.”
Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other, but the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits. People are losing the ability to hold face-to-face conversations with others.
However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred (转存) to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the Internet. With this growing trend (趋势), future generations certainly become even more addicted to technology.
Is there a cure for electronic addiction? Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely overcome electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self-control.
5．What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A．Addiction to smart phones. B．The popularity of smart phones.
C．Bad behaviors in public places. D．Changes brought by technology.
6．What does the underlined phrase “at their wits’ end” in paragraph I probably mean?
A．At a disadvantage. B．At a loss. C．Out of the way. D．Out of control.
7．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The benefits of smart phones. B．The future trend of smart phones.
C．Reasons for technology addiction. D．The negative impacts of smart phone addiction.
8．What advice does the author give in the text?
A．Focus on other activities. B．Stay away from smart phones.
C．Develop and improve self-control. D．Change the habits of smart phone use.

【答案】5．A    6．B    7．B    8．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们沉迷于智能手机的现象。
5．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous (荒谬的) that someone is that addicted to such a small object. (很难找到一个不粘在小屏幕上、手指以闪电般的速度移动、给朋友发短信、给同事发邮件或听音乐的人。有人对这么小的东西如此上瘾，这似乎很荒谬)”可知，第一段描述了智能手机成瘾现象。故选A项。
6．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous (荒谬的) that someone is that addicted to such a small object. (很难找到一个不粘在小屏幕上、手指以闪电般的速度移动、给朋友发短信、给同事发邮件或听音乐的人。有人对这么小的东西如此上瘾，这似乎很荒谬)”可知，人们对智能手机很上瘾。再根据下文“if their phone has been taken away, lost or left at home.(如果他们的手机被拿走、丢失或丢在家里)”可知，人们手机成瘾，如果手机被拿走、丢失或丢在家里，人们就会不知所措。由此推知，划线部分at their wits’ end与at a loss(不知所措)意思接近。故选B项。
7．主旨大意题。根据第四段“However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred (转存) to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the Internet. With this growing trend (趋势), future generations certainly become even more addicted to technology.(然而，在这个时代很难避免电子产品，因为几乎所有东西都在变成电子格式。原本用于纸面设计的书籍，现在正转变为电子形式。相册，甚至年鉴现在都可以通过互联网浏览。随着这一趋势的发展，未来的几代人肯定会更加沉迷于科技)”可知，第四段主要是关于智能手机的未来趋势。故选B项。
8．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Is there a cure for electronic addiction? Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely overcome electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self-control.(有治疗电子成瘾的方法吗?简单地每天关掉电子设备一两个小时可能会在一定程度上有所帮助，但它不会完全克服电子成瘾。似乎只有一种治疗方法，而且可能是最难的：自我控制)”可知，关于治疗手机上瘾，作者在文中给出的建议是发展和提高自我控制能力。故选C项。
C
When no one else was able to save a drowning (溺水的) 34-year-old man, a boy weighing only 80 pounds quickly became his hero.
11-year-old Adam was hanging out at the pool of his apartment building with his family when the man sank (下沉) to the bottom of the deep end, his arms spread out and his eyes wide from eight feet down in the water.
Surprisingly, Adam was the only one at the pool who could swim at the time. Before his family had moved to St. Paul, Minnesota three years ago, his parents had never had the ability to take swimming lessons. Luckily, they believed that Adam should have a few swimming lessons. “Some survival skills are a must,” his father said.
When trouble struck in the pool, however, Adam’s father had tried to help the man from a swim ring, but he couldn’t reach the man’s hand. Then, Adam jumped into the pool.
Despite the man weighing almost 100 pounds heavier than the boy, Adam successfully managed to pull the man up to the surface and get him out of the pool. Though Adam’s uncle had never received CPR training, he started CPR on the man based on what he had seen in movies and television.
A few minutes later, the man started to move his hands. Doctors then arrived and took the man to the hospital where he has since made a full recovery (恢复). The man stopped by the boy’s house later the very same week to thank him for saving his life.
“It’s simply wonderful,” said Adam’s uncle. “If he had not been there, I don’t know. I’m sure it would not be a happy ending.” Adam’s father also says that he plans on taking swimming lessons with his son in the near future.
9．Why was Adam sent to take swimming lessons?
A．To build up his body. B．To save other people’s life.
C．To keep a healthy weight. D．To keep himself safe in the water.
10．What did his father do before Adam jumped into the pool?
A．He sent for doctors. B．He called others for help.
C．He asked Adam to save the man. D．He tried to save the man by himself.
11．What happened to the man after he was pulled out of the pool?
A．He thanked Adam. B．Doctors operated on him.
C．He was sent to hospital at once. D．Adam’s uncle gave him first aid.
12．Which word can best describe Adam?
A．Brave. B．Polite. C．Clever. D．Proud.

【答案】9．D    10．D    11．D    12．A
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了11岁只有80磅重的亚当救了34岁溺水男士的故事。
9．细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“Luckily, they believed that Adam should have a few swimming lessons. ‘Some survival skills are a must,’ his father said.(幸运的是，他们认为亚当应该上几节游泳课。“一些生存技能是必须的，”他的父亲说。)”可知，亚当的父亲认为一些生存技能是必须的，而游泳是生存技能之一，因此，亚当应该上游泳课以保障他在水里的安全。故选D项。
10．细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“When trouble struck in the pool, however, Adam’s father had tried to help the man from a swim ring, but he couldn’t reach the man’s hand.(然而，当麻烦在游泳池里发生时，亚当的父亲试图用游泳圈帮助这个人，但他够不到他的手。)”可知，亚当入水前，亚当的父亲想用游泳圈帮助这个溺水的人。故选D项。
11．细节理解题。根据文章第五段内容“…Adam successfully managed to pull the man up to the surface and get him out of the pool. Though Adam’s uncle had never received CPR training, he started CPR on the man based on what he had seen in movies and television.(……亚当成功地把那个人拉上了水面，把他从泳池里救了出来。尽管亚当的叔叔从未接受过心肺复苏术训练，但他根据在电影和电视中看到的情景，开始对这个男士进行心肺复苏急救。)”可知，被亚当救上岸后，亚当的叔叔给这个人做了心脏复苏急救。故选D项。
12．推理判断题。根据文章首段内容“When no one else was able to save a drowning 34-year-old man, a boy weighing only 80 pounds quickly became his hero.(当没有人能救下一个溺水的34岁男子时，一个只有80磅重的男孩迅速成为了他的英雄。)”可知，亚当只有11岁，80磅重，却救了34岁的男士，这说明他是勇敢的。故选A项。


五、阅读表达
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When I was a kid, if someone told me that I would grow up to become a published author and founder of a youth literacy (读写能力)foundation, I would have laughed and kept walking. Even now when I see the title of my latest picture book, My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World, I shake my head, not quite believing that book has my name on it. But the truth is, this story comes from my own personal experience.
It took me a very long time to find my personal reading voice. In Valdosta, GA, where I grew up, my community promoted two pathways to a better life for little boys like me: being an athlete and being an entertainer. I was no different than the other kids, so I did what felt natural: Play football and overlook school. School presented challenges every day and so did football practice, but overcoming physical adversity was on trend with my neighborhood’s culture. Reading books not so much.
Fortunately, I went to college. That’s where my reading struggles really appeared. Trips to the grocery store were stressful because there was so much reading involved in the simple act of buying food. I would misread labels and grab the wrong items. Once, I picked up apple sauce thinking it was apple slices. I didn’t notice my mistake until I got home and realized that it was my inability to understand the differences in the wording on the labels that caused the mistake. I realized that I needed to make an important decision. If I wanted to be a better version of me, I had to become a stronger reader
I joined a book club and read every free moment I had. My journey with reading also created a desire in me to inspire others who struggle with reading. So I started a nonprofit, Share the Magic Foundation, trying to transform the lives of children living in underserved communities through literacy.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者的读书经历。
1．考查细节理解。根据第一段“ Even now when I see the title of my latest picture book, My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World, I shake my head, not quite believing that book has my name on it. ”（即使是现在，当我看到我最新绘本的书名《我在整个广阔的世界上最喜欢的书》时，我也会摇头，不太相信那本书上有我的名字）可知，他不敢相信他能写出那本书/他觉得写那样一本书简直不可思议。故回答为：He couldn’t believe he could write that book/ He feels it incredible to write a book like that.
2．考查细节理解。根据第二段“In Valdosta, GA, where I grew up, my community promoted two pathways to a better life for little boys like me: being an athlete and being an entertainer.”（在我长大的乔治亚州瓦尔多斯塔，我的社区为像我这样的小男孩提供了两条通向更好生活的道路：成为一名运动员和成为一名艺人）可知，作者在小的时候忽视了阅读的原因是读书在他社区的文化中并不流行/因为读书并不被认为是通往美好生活的途径。故回答为：Because reading was not much on trend with his neighbour’s culture./ Because reading was not regarded as a pathway to a better life.
3．考查主旨大意。根据第三段“Trips to the grocery store were stressful because there was so much reading involved in the simple act of buying food. I would misread labels and grab the wrong items. Once, I picked up apple sauce thinking it was apple slices. I didn’t notice my mistake until I got home and realized that it was my inability to understand the differences in the wording on the labels that caused the mistake. I realized that I needed to make an important decision. If I wanted to be a better version of me, I had to become a stronger reader”（去杂货店的路程是有压力的，因为买食物这个简单的行为涉及太多的阅读。我会看错标签，拿错东西。有一次，我拿起苹果酱，以为是苹果片。直到回到家，我才注意到我的错误，意识到是我无法理解标签上措辞的差异导致了这个错误。我意识到我需要做一个重要的决定。如果我想成为更好的自己，我必须成为一个更强的读者）可知，第三段主要是关于作者是如何意识到读书的重要性的/是什么使作者决定成为一个更强的读者/为什么作者决定成为一个更强的读者。故回答为：How the author realized the importance of reading./What made the author decide to become a stronger reader./ Why the author decided to become a stronger reader.
4．考查词句猜测。根据上文“School presented challenges every day and so did football practice”（学校每天都有挑战，足球训练也是如此）可知，但克服身体上的困难/挑战是我们社区文化的潮流。所以划线词的意思是困难/挑战的意思。故回答为：Difficulty/Hardship/Challenge.
5．开放性试题。结合文章内容，答案符合逻辑即可，注意字数。例如：Reading is very important to everyone.Because reading is regarded as a pathway to a better life.
