When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close due to fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.
But still, the change from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was jarring. "I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted," Chen said.
The coronavirus has upended everyone's lives, but for students, the disruption feels particularly acute. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled. Summer plans, like camps and internships (实习)，are up in the air.
But right now, many students are trying to stay connected, struggling with misinformation, and figuring out the best ways they can help through online method.
For Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Ship-ley School in Philadelphia, the best way to contribute was to create a "social distancing pledge (承诺)" for young people.
"I saw a lot of younger generations not paying attention," he said. "They were still going out, hanging out with people. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger folks, who were probably not watching the news."
Harycki launched a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people who'd signed the pledge. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can't connect with their friends in the same way, so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant, they're still connected.
"Part of what we're highlighting is that you might feel like you're the only one taking this
seriously, but our map shows that you're not alone," he said.
4. What does the underlined word "jarring" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. natural B. disturbing C. necessary D. reasonable
5. Why does the author describe Andrew Chen's experience in the text?
A. To show how the coronavirus affected students' lives.
B. To explain what worried students most when schools closed.
C. To illustrate the appropriate reaction to the closure of school.
D. To present the different views of students toward the coronavirus.
6. Who does Harycki mainly want to reach out to?
A. Friends who are worried and bored.
B. Folks taking the coronavirus seriously.
C. Younger generations trying to contribute.
D. Young people who are not aware of the situation.
7. What's Harycki's purpose in creating the "social distancing pledge"?
A. To convince young people to stay at home.
B. To track those people infected with the coronavirus.
C. To inform young folks of latest news about the coronavirus.
D. To show young people they shouldn't be concerned about the coronavirus.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述在新冠病毒期间，学生在家自学，学生Harycki建立网站努力保持学生们相互联系，消除同龄人担心他们不能与朋友联系的担忧，向同龄人传递虽然每个人可能在身体距离上是遥远的，但他们仍然是联系在一起的。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文 "I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted," Chen said. (陈说：“我在Central Bucks South 只有三年的时间，看到它们中的一年被浪费了，我很痛苦。”) 由此可推知前一句的句意为：但是，从每天在游泳队上看到他的朋友们练习到独自在家学习，这种变化仍然让他感到担忧。故划线词 jarring与B项“令人担忧的”意思相近。故选 B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.(16岁的大二学生安德鲁 ·陈知道事情不会像一些同龄人所希望的那样迅速恢复正常。)和第二段的“I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,” Chen said.( 陈说：“我在南方只有三年的时间，其中一年被浪费让我很痛苦。) 结合下文The coronavirus has changed everyone’s lives, but for students, the disruption feels particularly serious. ( 冠状病毒改变了每个人的生活，但对学生来说，这种破坏感觉特别严重。)可推断，作者描述安德鲁陈的经历是为了说明冠状病毒如何影响学生的生活。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段的I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger folks, who were probably not watching the news. ( 我想应该有办法联系到年轻人，他们可能不看新闻。) 可知，Harycki想要联系没有意识到这种情况的年轻人。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can't connect with their friends in the same way, so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant, they're still connected.可知，Harycki知道他的同龄人担心他们不能以同样的方式与朋友联系，所以他创建了social distancing pledge来强调虽然每个人可能在物理距离上都很遥远，但他们仍然保持联系。由此可知，Harycki创建"social distancing pledge"的目的是说服年轻人待在家里，即使他们和朋友不在一起，也是有联系的。故选A。
C
Once a circle missed a wedge (楔子). The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. Finally it found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
In some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn to hope, to nourish(滋润) his soul with the dream of something better. He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him something he has always wanted or never had.
There is wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and does not feel like a failure for doing so. There is wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy(悲剧) and survive — he or she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.
Life is more like a baseball season, when even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. Our goal is to win more games than we lose. When we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciate it, we will have achieved wholeness that others can only long for.
8. Which may be an example of being whole?
A A person has everything.
B. A person accepts his or her limitations.
C. A person loves someone and is loved.
D. A person feels blue for dropping unrealistic goals.
9. How is a baseball season similar to life?
A. Easy come, easy go.
B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. Energy and persistence conquer all things.
D. Some battles you win and some battles you lose.
10. How does the author clarify his idea?
A. Mainly by comparing.
B. Mainly by reasoning.
C. Mainly by informing.
D. Mainly by arguing.
11. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Pursue perfection in life
B. Be whole in life
C. Life without mistakes is whole
D. No pains, no gains
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章以一个小故事引出话题——人生不在于完美, 而在于完整。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段There is wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and does not feel like a failure for doing so.（人生的完整性在于一个人知道如何面对他的缺陷，如何勇敢地摒弃那些不现实的幻想而又不以此为缺憾）可知一个人接受他或她的缺陷，可能是“完整”的例子。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Life is more like a baseball season, when even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. Our goal is to win more games than we lose. （人生更像是一个棒球赛季，即使最好的球队也会输掉三分之一的比赛，而最差的球队也有春风得意的时候。我们的目标是赢的比赛比输的多）可知棒球赛季和生活的相似之处在于你有输有赢。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。第二段内容(人生“完美”的人)和第三段内容(人生完整的人)作对比; 最后一段又拿baseball season和life作比较, 因此作者主要是通过作对比和作比较的方法来澄清他的观点的。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。本文作者通过圆和楔子的小故事感悟出这样的道理:从某种奇怪的意义上讲,当我们失去某些东西的时候,我们反而会更加完整,人生不在于完美而在于完整。因此不管是从故事内容还是从其诠释的人生哲理上，B项“完整的生命”作标题是最佳的。故选B。
D
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are compounds(化合物;复合物) that are set to solve some tough challenges: producing water in the desert, removing greenhouse gases from the air and storing dangerous gases more safely.
The Arizona desert is really dry. Anyone stuck in it without water would die from dehydration (脱水) within three days, unless he had one of Omar Yaghi's next-generation water harvesters, who is a chemist at the University of California, Berkeley. Although daytime wetness is only about 10 percent, this rises to 40 percent at night, which means there's enough water in the atmosphere to support life - if it can be transformed into liquid form.
That's exactly what Yaghi's invention does. It's about the size of a small microwave oven, designed to suck the water from the air at night and turn it into drinking water the next day using only the heat of the sun as its power source. What makes it work is a special material called a MOF, which at normal temperatures attracts water molecules (分子) onto the surface of its internal small holes. Warm it up and get the water, each harvest producing one-third of a cup of pure drinking water. "A device the size of a washing machine could produce enough water for the basic needs of a household," says Yaghi.
These crystalline (结晶的) groups of metals linked by organic molecules can be made into materials with an extremely high absorption ability, attracting specific molecules to their surfaces. In this way, MOFscling toa variety of liquids and gases.
MOFs work thanks to their distinctive structure. In fact, one MOF the size of a sugar cube has so many small holes that they would cover an area as large as six football fields. MOFs are also extremely stable, light and have many different uses: their molecular structure can be varied to attract specific molecules. Adding a small amount of heat or pressure causes the MOF to give what it's holding. More than 70,000 different MOFs have been produced to date for various applications.
12. Why is the Arizona desert mentioned in the second paragraph?
A. To introduce water harvesters.
B. To stress the importance of water.
C. To show the severity of its condition.
D. To express the urgent need for water there.
13. What plays a vital role in water harvesters?
A. Solar energy.
B. Water molecules.
C. Metal-organic frameworks.
D. MOFs' internal small holes.
14. Which can explain the phrase "cling to" underlined in paragraph 4?
A. Give off.
B. Tum into.
C. Hold onto.
D. Break down.
15. What will probably be covered in the following paragraphs?
A. The future of the MOF technology.
B. Other uses of the MOF technology.
C. The improvement to the MOF technology.
D. Possible limitations of the MOF technology.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了金属有机骨架(MOFs)的用途，结构和性能。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“The Arizona desert is really dry. Anyone stuck in it without water would die from dehydration（脱水）within three days. Unless, that is, they had one of Omar Yaghi’s next-generation water harvesters.”可知，亚利桑那沙漠非常干燥。任何没有水的人都会在三天内死于脱水。除非他们有奥马尔·亚吉的下一代水收集器，所以奥马尔·亚吉的下一代水收集器可以解决沙漠中缺水的问题。故判断出第二段提到亚利桑那沙漠是为了介绍水收集器。故选A。
【13题详解】
.细节理解题。由第三段“What makes it work is a special material called a metal-organic framework (MOF)...”可知，使它工作的是一种称为有机框架(MOF)的特殊的材料，所以金属有机框架在水收集器中起着至关重要的作用。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。由第四段“These crystalline cluster（结晶群）of metals, such as aluminum or magnesium, linked by organic molecules can be made into materials with an extremely high absorption ability, attracting specific molecules to their surface. In this way, MOFs cling to a variety of liquids and gases.”可知，这些由有机分子连接的金属结晶群，例如铝或镁，可制成具有极高吸收能力的材料，将特定分子吸到其表面。可知划线词所在的句子意思是MOF就是通过这种方式紧紧吸附各种液体和气体。第四段中划线词"cling to"意思是hold onto“紧紧抓住”的意思。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“More than 70,000 different MOFs have been produced to date for various applications.”可知迄今为止，已有七万多种不同的MOF被生产用于各类实际应用中，所以我们通过短文最后一段的内容可以判断出，接下来的段落可能会涉及MOF科技的其它用途。故选B。
【点睛】根据上一段的内容来判断下一段的内容是解决判断题的重要的切入点。这一般适用于推测短文最后一段之后段落的内容。在这样的判断出，短文最后一段通常会以问题的方式留下疑问，或者以陈述句的形式给读者留下一个悬而未决的问题。这个时候以问题的方式留下疑问或者以陈述句的形式给读者留下一个悬而未决的问题就是下一段要讨论的内容。由最后段“More than 70,000 different MOFs have been produced to date for various applications.”可知迄今为止，已有七万多种不同的MOF被生产用于各类实际应用中。所以我们通过短文最后段的内容可以判断出，以下段落可能会涉及MOF科技的其它用途。故小题4的正确选项为B选项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，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。
Some high school students think it useless to receive higher education. ____16____ If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.

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。
Before our wedding my fiance (未婚夫) and I were very excited about shopping for our first house. So, we took look at several houses, yet as our funds were limited, none of the houses in our price range seemed satisfactory.
One agent recommended a house in particular. Although her description of the house sounded very wonderful, the price was beyond our range, so we declined. However, she kept urging us to have a look at least.
We finally agreed and went to take a look. It was lovely at first sight. It was small but charming, overlooking a quiet beautiful lake. Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners, a kind and hospitable elderly couple, we felt the warmth and happiness of the marriage within that house. It was exactly the house we wanted! Perfect as it was, the price remained much too high for us. But every day, we could sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of what it would be like to live there.
Days later, we made an offer, which was far below the asking price. As the price was so low, we were afraid that they would laugh it off. Surprisingly, they didn't laugh at us. They renewed their offer instead. It was also much more than we could actually afford, but far less than the original asking price.
The next day, we got a disappointing message that another buyer offered a much higher price. Even so, we made up our minds to talk with the owners directly. We made our final offer, which was still thousands of dollars less than the other buyer's bid. We knew it, yet we decided to have a try. Nobody knew if we could get it.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
We went to the owners' home, only to find the other buyer visiting the owners too.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The owner looked at us and said, ''I decide to sell my house to you! ''____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We went to the owners' home, only to find the other buyer visiting the owners too. He said the price he offered was much higher than ours, he begged the owners to sell it to him, then the owner asked the buyer, ''why do you want this house? '' The buyer said ''Because it is near the city. I want to buy it for investment. I can rent it to earn money... '' the owner thought for a while and then looked at him and said. ''I'm sorry, sir. I can't sell my house to you, because I am looking for someone who truly loves my house, not just for money.''
The owner looked at us and said, ''I decide to sell my house to you! '' Then he explained: He'd seen us sitting by the lake all those times; he knew how much we loved the place and that wed appreciate the years of work they had put into their home; he realized he would take a loss by selling it to us. but it was worthwhile; we were the people they wanted to live there. He told us to consider the difference in the price ''an early wedding present. '' That's how we found our home and how I learned that when people are kind, they are not strangers, only friends we haven't yet met.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写。本篇主要讲述了作者和丈夫去购买新婚用的房子。他们看上了一套房子，但中介告诉他们有人比他们的出价更高。抱着试一试的态度，他们决定和房子的主人见上一面。
【详解】续写分为两部分。第一部分的开头是：我们去了房东家里，却发现另一个买家也在。所以可以接着写：他说自己的出价更高，并要求房东把房子卖给他。然后房东问他买房的原因，他说是因为想把房子当作投资。房东思考了一下说，不能把房子卖给他，因为他们要找的是爱房子的人，而不是把它当作投资，用来挣钱的人。
第二部分的开头是：然后房东看着我们说：“我决定把房子卖给你。”所以可以接着写，房东说：他看见我们最近常常坐在湖边，知道我们非常爱这套房子，也相信我们会欣赏他们在这套房子中投入的精力。所以他决定低价把房子卖给我们。至于那些不够的钱就当作是提前给我们的结婚礼物。我们就这样找到了喜爱的房子，也明白了一些道理。
写作时应注意续写内容要符合逻辑，人称的转换和时态。
【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了一些主从复合句，例如：I can't sell my house to you, because I am looking for someone who truly loves my house, not just for money.中who引导定语从句；That's how we found our home and how I learned that when people are kind, they are not strangers, only friends we haven't yet met.中how引导表语从句，that引导宾语从句。
