【18~20题答案】
【答案】18. C 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】As the world holds its breath, waiting to see if the coronavirus is going to be defeated or if we will experience a second wave, many of us are looking to the future and find how our lives have changed. The virus has caused many people to work from home. If companies decide to continue allowing this, it will ease the burden on public transport. Many train and subway systems in major cities were struggling with the number of daily passengers. With restrictions and social distancing in place on many modes of transport, people have been shifting towards cycling as an alternative way to get around. During June 2020, the UK saw cycling levels rise by 300%. This was pushed by a government policy that allowed people to buy a bike tax free, allowing savings from 25% up to 39% depending on the cost of the bike. The coronavirus has also seen significant impact on jobs, with over 650,000 people in the UK having lost their roles during lockdown, mainly in the retail (零) and service section. However, other sections such as technology were much better as people try to find technical solutions to lockdown, such as video calling. Although it has been a shock, the world has adapted quickly to coronavirus, and many are hoping that these changes are here to stay, highlighting the fact that traditional ways of living and working should remain in the past.

Creative Vacation Travel Ideas
Couch Surfing
Those who are bohemians(豪放的人) at heart can travel the world and make new friends using the couch-surfing system. Couch-surfing networking sites allow travelers to research and connect with people in cities around the world who offer up their couch or guest room to strangers. Staying with the people is free of charge, though you will be expected to pay for your own food and entertainment. Most hosts will accommodate a pair of travelers, and the system is safer for inexperienced couch surfers.
Roaming African Hotel
The Shongololo Express is best described as a cruise(邮轮) on land. A fleet of air-conditioned, luxury trains transport travelers through Africa from south to north. The Express stops at prearranged locations of interests, similar to a cruise ship stopping at a port, and allows travelers a chance to get out and explore with the security of a group behind them. Meals and drinks are served on the trains, and there are common areas for socializing.
Underground Motel
Go under Down Under with a stay in the White Cliffs Underground Motel in New South Wales, Australia. The 30 guest rooms called dugouts are carved from supportive soft sandstone and ventilated(通风) with drilled vertical passages. The temperature is naturally regulated year round for a comfortable stay. The hotel includes an on-site restaurant. Guests may even request a personal tour of dugouts local citizens have built for their own homes.
Adventure Vacations
Adventure vacations are travel ideas that suit travelers who want to truly interact with the environment. The National Geographic compiles lists of the best adventure vacations around the world and also helps travelers book the vacations. You don't have to leave the country to have an adventure. The Florida Everglades, Glacier National Park in Montana, The Grand Canyon and The Gila Wilderness in Nevada are adventure vacations to suit the young and the young at heart.
21. What is one of the advantages of Couch Surfing?
A. Couch surfers can travel the world on the Internet.

22. What do Roaming African Hotel and Underground Motel have in common?
A. The hotels offer free meal service to travelers.
B. Travelers are provided comfortable guest rooms.
C Security staff accompanies travelers when getting out.

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Staying with the people is free of charge, though you will be expected to pay for your own food and entertainment.”（ 和当地人住在一起是免费的，不过你需要自己支付食物和娱乐费用。）可知，Couch Surfing最大的优势是在这住宿是免费的。故选C项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A fleet of air-conditioned, luxury trains transport travelers through Africa from south to north.”（一列装有空调的豪华列车将游客从非洲南部运送到北部。）以及第三段中的“The 30 guest rooms called dugouts are carved from supportive soft sandstone and ventilated(通风) with drilled vertical passages. The temperature is naturally regulated year round for a comfortable stay.”（30间被称为“防空区”的客房由支撑性软砂岩雕刻而成，并通过钻出的垂直通道通风。这里的温度一年四季都是自然调节的，让人住得舒适。）可知，这两个宾馆的共同点就是非常舒服的。故选B项。

B
A second-grade education has not stopped garbage collector Jose from bringing the gift of reading to thousands of Colombian children.
Jose started rescuing books from the trash almost 20 years ago, when he was driving a garbage truck at night through the country’s wealthier neighborhoods. The rejected reading material slowly piled up, and now the ground floor of his small house is a temporary community library piled from floor to ceiling with some 20, 000 books, ranging from chemistry textbooks to children’s classics.
He says books are luxuries for boys and girls in low-income neighborhoods such as his, with new reading material at bookstores too expensive. There are 19 public libraries in Bogota, but they tend to be located far away from poorer areas. “Books are our salvation and that is what Colombia needs,” says Jose.
The 53-year-old Jose has a love of reading he attributes(归因于) to his mother, who always read to him even though she was too poor to keep him in school. “She used to read me stories every night,” said Jose, “To me, books are the greatest invention and the best thing that can happen to a human being.”
Jose still searches through the rubbish for additions to his library though he is very famous in Columbia. Jose is also a greedy reader of works by famous authors. He says he doesn’t reject technology that allows books to be read digitally, but says he prefers to read the printed word on paper. “There’s nothing more beautiful than having a book in your pocket, in your bag or inside your car,” he says.
24. How did Jose start his library?
A. By receiving textbooks from kids.
B. By collecting rejected books from garbage.
C. By rescuing used books from public libraries.
D. By getting donated books from local communities.
25. What is the barrier to public libraries in Bogota for kids in poorer areas?
A. High cost. B. Limited access. C. Bad location. D. Long distance.
26. Why did Jose quit school?
A. He hoped to found a library for poor kids.
B. He loved to stay at home studying alone.
C. His family couldn’t afford his tuition fees.
D. His mother taught him at home every night.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Jose gains fame for collecting trash.
B. Jose has become a well-known author.
C. Jose takes an objective attitude to digital books.
D. Jose prefers to read pocket books inside his car.
【24~27题答案】
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jose尽管只上到小学二年级，但是他热爱读书，20年前就开始从垃圾堆中收集书本，并将这些废弃的阅读材料放在他的小房子里，这些书堆起来成为了社区的一个临时图书馆。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Jose started rescuing books from the trash almost 20 years ago, (Jose大约20年前开始从垃圾堆里捡书)”和“The rejected reading material slowly piled up, and now the ground floor of his small house is a temporary community library...(废弃的阅读材料慢慢堆积起来，现在他的小房成为了一个临时的社区图书馆)”可知，Jose20年前就开始从垃圾堆中收集书本，并且这些废弃的阅读材料慢慢在他的小房子里堆起来成为了社区的一个临时图书馆，由此可知，Jose是通过从垃圾堆收集废弃的书本来建立这个图书馆的，故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“There are 19 public libraries in Bogota, but they tend to be located far away from poorer areas(在Bogota有19个公共图书馆，但它们往往位于远离贫困地区的地方。)”可知，公共图书馆距离贫困地区距离较远，因而孩子们去图书馆的阻碍因素是距离，故选D。
3. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The 53-year-old Jose has a love of reading he attributes(归因于) to his mother, who always read to him even though she was too poor to keep him in school.(53岁的Jose热爱阅读，他把这归功于他的母亲，尽管她太穷了，不能让他上学，但是母亲总是给他读书。)”可知，当时他母亲没有钱不能让Jose去学校读书，因此Jose辍学是因为家里负担不起学费，故选C。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“He says he doesn’t reject technology that allows books to be read digitally, but says he prefers to read the printed word on paper(他说他并不排斥数字阅读技术，但他更喜欢纸质书。)”可知，他不拒绝在科技进步下产生的电子书，但是他更偏爱纸质书本，因此他对于电子书的态度是客观的，没有一味地否定也没有特别地喜欢，故选C。
C
A sharp rise in US pedestrian(行人) deaths has been partly blamed on people using their smartphones while driving or crossing the road. A recent report estimates that there were 6, 000 pedestrian deaths in 2016, the highest number in more than 20 years. In the last six years, fatalities(死亡数) have grown at four times the rate of overall traffic deaths.
The report say a number of factors are to blame, including mobile use. “A more recent factor contributing to the increase in pedestrian fatalities may be the growing use of smartphones by all road users, which can be a significant source of distraction for both drivers and pedestrians,” the report stated. Other factors include increased driving and more walking for exercise and environmental reasons. Alcohol is also blamed.
The report is based on data from all states for the first six months of 2016. The UK’s Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said it also saw mobile phones as dangerously distracting.
“More and more teenagers and young adults are being injured as a result of distraction, as a result of crossing roads while using their phone. This can be as a result of having a conversation, listening to music, texting or using the net,” said road safety manager Nick Lloyd.
Some cities around the world are taking measures to counter the issue of smartphone distraction. In the Bavarian town, the station has fitted red and green lights in the ground to warn people who stubbornly look at their smartphone. Officials in the Dutch town ran trials in February of traffic lights that project a red or green lighting strip across the pavements to alert smartphone zombies who were glued to their mobiles as they cross the road. Social media, games and music are major distractions in traffic. Dutch road safety group VVN said that the idea rewarded bad behavior.
28. What is the purpose of the report?
A. To tell the readers a sharp rise in traffic deaths.
B. To state the reasons for the increase in pedestrian fatalities.
C. To remind people of the negative effects of using smartphones.
D. To appeal to the public not to use their smartphones on the road.
29. What is the major cause of pedestrian distraction?
A. Traffic flows. B. Exercise on the roads.
C. Smartphone use. D. Alcohol addiction.
30. Which can replace the underlined word “counter” in Paragraph 5?
A. Prevent. B. Calculate. C. Expose. D. Clarify.
31. What is the VVN’s attitude towards to trials in the Bavarian town?
A. Flexible. B. Conservative. C. Approving. D. Critical.
【28~31题答案】
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章提到美国行人死亡人数急剧上升，部分原因是人们在开车或过马路时使用智能手机，文章分析了造成这个现状主要的原因，并介绍了一些国家和地区正在采取措施来应对手机分心问题。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The report says a number of factors are to blame, including mobile use.(报告称，许多因素都是罪魁祸首，包括移动设备的使用。)”可知，该报告提到了一系列导致车祸的原因，包含了手机使用。包括第二段整一段都在陈述导致车祸的各类因素，如手机使用、开车增加、走路增加以及环境影响，因此该报告主要陈述了行人死亡数增加的原因，故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“More and more older teenagers and young adults are being injured as a result of distraction, as a result of crossing roads while using their phones.(越来越多的年纪较大的青少年和年轻人因为分心而受伤，因为在过马路时使用手机。)”可知，越来越多的人因为注意力分散而受伤，而注意力分散是因为穿马路的时候在使用手机，故选C。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线单词所在句子下文“In the Bavarian town, the station has fitted red and green lights in the ground to warn people who stubbornly look at their smartphone. (在巴伐利亚小镇，车站在地面安装了红色和绿色灯，以警告固执地看智能手机的人。)”；“Officials in the Dutch town ran trials in February of traffic lights that project a red or green lighting strip across the pavements to alert smartphone zombies who were glued to their mobiles as they cross the road. (今年2月，荷兰小镇的官员们试行了一种交通灯，在人行道上投射一条红色或绿色的灯带，以提醒那些在过马路时一直盯着手机的“智能手机僵尸”。)”可知，一些城市在采取措施来解决手机分散注意力问题，比如有些地方安装了红绿灯，有些地方做测试，结合划线单词所在句子“Some cities around the world are taking measures to counter the issue of smartphone distraction.(世界各地的一些城市正在采取措施......智能手机分心的问题。)”可知，划线单词“counter”应该是解决问题，防止问题的意思，结合选项可知prevent(防止)意思最贴切，可以替代counter。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Dutch road safety group VVN said that the idea rewarded bad behavior.(荷兰道路安全组织VVN表示，这一想法奖励了不良行为。)”和“Social media, games and music are major distractions in traffic.(社交媒体、游戏和音乐是交通中主要的干扰。)”可知，VVN认为把社交媒体、游戏和音乐作为分散因素这样的想法反而是帮助这些不好的行为找借口，由此可知，VVN对巴伐利亚审判的态度是批判的。故选D。
D
The oceans are warming faster than previously estimated, setting a new temperature record in 2018 in a trend that is damaging marine life, scientists said on Thursday. New measurements showed more warming since 1971 than 2013, they said.
And observational records of ocean heat content show that ocean warming is accelerating. Man-made greenhouse gas emissions are warming the atmosphere and a large part of the heat gets absorbed by the oceans. That in turn is forcing fish to flee to cooler waters. “Global warming is here, and has major consequences already. There is no doubt, none!” the authors wrote in a statement.
Data due for publication next week will show “20l8 was the warmest year on record for the global ocean, surpassing 2017, ” said lead author Lijing Cheng. He said that records for ocean warming had been broken almost yearly since 2000. Overall, temperatures in the ocean down to 2,000 meters rose about 0.1℃ from 1971 to 2010, he said. The 2013 U. N. assessment estimated slower rates of heat uptake but did not give a single comparable number. A separate study on Monday said 2018 was the fourth warmest year for global surface temperatures in records dating back to the 19th century.
Ocean temperatures are less influenced by year-to-year variations in the weather. It can take more than 1,000 years for deep ocean temperatures to adjust to changes at the surface. The deep ocean reflects the climate of the deep and uncertain past. Among effects, extra warmth can reduce oxygen in the oceans and damages coral reefs that are nurseries for fish, the scientists said. Warmer seas release more moisture that can stoke more powerful storms. Warmer ocean water also raises sea levels by melting ice, including around the edges of Antarctica and Greenland.
32. What forces fish to flee to cooler water?
A. Greenhouse gas. B. Ocean warming.
C. High record temperature. D. Man’s massive killing.
33. What can we learn from Data due for publication next week?
A. 2017 was the second warmest year in history.
B. Ocean temperature rose about 0.1℃ from 1971 to 2010.
C. Ocean warming began to be increasingly severe about 20 years ago.
D. 2018 was the fourth warmest year for ocean surface temperatures.
34. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 4?
A. To indicate the effect the weather on ocean warming.
B. To describe how severe climate change is nowadays.
C. To introduce what impacts ocean warming can have.
D. To present global warming causes the rise of sea levels.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Oceans Are Warming Faster than Expected
B. Ocean Warming Is Damaging Marine Life
C. Climate Change Raises Ocean Temperature
D. Global Warming Causes Extreme Weather
【32~35题答案】
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家发现海洋变暖的速度比此前估计的更快。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Man-made greenhouse gas emissions are warming the atmosphere and a large part of the heat gets absorbed by the oceans. That in turn is forcing fish to flee to cooler waters.(人为排放的温室气体正在使大气变暖，大部分热量被海洋吸收。这反过来又迫使鱼类逃往较冷的水域。)”可知，是温室气体排放导致大气变暖，这些热量又被海洋吸收，所以是海洋变暖造成的。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He said that records for ocean warming had been broken almost yearly since 2000.(他说，自2000年以来，海洋变暖的记录几乎每年都被打破。)”可知，从20年前开始，海洋升温变得越来越严重。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Among effects, extra warmth can reduce oxygen in the oceans and damages coral reefs that are nurseries for fish, the scientists said. Warmer seas release more moisture that can stoke more powerful storms. Warmer ocean water also raises sea levels by melting ice, including around the edges of Antarctica and Greenland.(科学家们说，额外的温暖会减少海洋中的氧气，破坏作为鱼类苗圃的珊瑚礁。温暖的海洋释放出更多的水汽，从而引发更强的风暴。海水变暖也会导致冰层融化，包括南极洲和格陵兰岛的边缘地区。)”可推断，作者写本段的目的是为了介绍海洋变暖可能产生的影响。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The oceans are warming faster than previously estimated, setting a new temperature record in 2018 in a trend that is damaging marine life, scientists said on Thursday. (科学家周四表示，海洋变暖的速度比此前估计的更快，在2018年创下了新的温度记录，这一趋势正在损害海洋生物。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了科学家发现海洋变暖的速度比此前估计的更快。所以“Oceans Are Warming Faster than Expected(海洋变暖的速度比预期的快)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。

Honesty and humility best predictors of job performances
A latest study finds that ratings of honesty and humility among employees may predict how their bosses view job performance. ____36____.
Over a period of a year and a half, Dr. Wade, a professor Baylor University, and his team conducted online surveys of about 270 employees from 25 companies in the health care field. ____37____ These results were then compared to performance reviews completed by the employees’ inspectors, who rated each worker according to 35 job skills. ____38____.
Employees who self-reported high levels of honesty and humility consistently received better job performance reviews by their supervisors.
Wade acknowledges that honesty and humility will not predict job performance in every field, especially for jobs where a high level of self-promotion is necessary, such as sales roles or entertainers. He said, however, that in many workplaces, employees who show honesty and humility will be liked by their colleagues. ____39____ They probably get along with their inspectors and co-workers, and this is driving some of the better performance ratings.
____40____ Many humble people may not self-report that they are humble, Wade said, while narcissists(自我陶醉者) might fake humility to make themselves more appealing. While he admits his study did not have a control for such behavior, previous studies of peer ratings of humility have shown that self-reports usually connect with those of colleagues. Honesty and humility are socially desirable qualities, there's really no way around that.
A. Those invited are honest and humble.
B. Honesty and humility in jobs are essential.
C. Partly difficult to measure, humility is alternative.
D. They are trustworthy, down-to-earth, and easy to relate to.
E. Most worked in jobs that involved one-to-one care of challenging clients.
F. As honesty and humility increase, inspector ratings of job performance increase.
G. Participants in 20 states were asked to self-report on their own character qualities.
【36~40题答案】
【答案】36. F 37. G 38. E 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了诚实和谦逊是工作表现的最佳预测因素。
【详解】1. 根据上一句“A latest study finds that ratings of honesty and humility among employees may predict how their bosses view job performance.( 一项最新研究发现，员工的诚实度和谦逊度可能会预测老板对工作表现的看法。)”可知，员工的诚实度和谦逊度可能会影响老板对工作表现的看法，由此可知，下文进一步对此进行陈述，即员工的诚实度和谦逊度与老板对工作表现的看法之间的关系，F选项“As honesty and humility increase, inspector ratings of job performance increase.(诚实度和谦逊度提高，监督员对工作表现的评级也随之提高。)”符合语境，承接上文，故选F。
2. 根据上文“Over a period of a year and a half, Dr. Wade, a professor Baylor University, and his team conducted online surveys of about 270 employees from 25 companies in the health care field.(在一年半的时间里，Baylor大学教授Wade博士和他的团队对医疗保健领域25家公司的270名员工进行了网上调查。)”可知，此处介绍了Dr. Wade和他的同事进行了网上调查，后文“These results were then compared to performance reviews completed by the employees’ inspectors, who rated each worker according to 35 job skills.( 然后将这些结果与员工检查员完成的绩效评估进行比较，检查员是根据35项工作技能对每个员工进行评估的。)”是对调查过程的具体描述，由此可知，G项“Participants in 20 states were asked to self-report on their own character qualities.(20个州的参加者被要求报告他们的性格特点）”也是对调查过程的描述，符合语境，其中“Participants”代指上文提到的“about 270 employees from 25 companies”，故选G。
3. 根据上文“These results were then compared to performance reviews completed by the employees’ inspectors, who rated each worker according to 35 job skills.( 然后将这些结果与员工检查员完成的绩效评估进行比较，检查员根据35项工作技能对每个员工进行评估。)”可知，此处是对网上调查过程的描述，即将在线调查的结果和这些雇员的检查员对于他们的表现评价进行比较。E选项“Most worked in jobs that involved one-to-one care of challenging clients.(大多数人从事的工作涉及对具有挑战性的客户进行一对一的护理)”补充说明这些参与者的工作情况，符合语境，故选E。
4. 根据上文“He said, however, that in many workplaces, employees who show honesty and humility will be liked by their colleagues.( 然而，他说，在许多工作场所，表现出诚实和谦逊的员工会受到同事的喜爱。) ”可知，在许多工作场合，诚实和谦虚的人受同事喜欢，由此可知，下文应该是解释诚实和谦虚的人受同事喜欢的原因。D项“They are trustworthy, down-to-earth, and easy to relate to.(他们值得信赖，脚踏实地，共情能力强。)”符合语境，故选D。
5. 根据下文“Many humble people may not self-report that they are humble, Wade said, while narcissists(自我陶醉者) might fake humility to make themselves more appealing. (Wade说，许多谦逊的人可能不会自我报告自己很谦逊，而自恋者可能会假装谦逊，以增加自己的吸引力。)”可知，许多谦逊的人可能不会称自己很谦卑，而自恋者可能会假装谦卑。由此可见，此处说明了谦虚是有选择性这一特点，所以选项C“Partly difficult to measure, humility is alternative.(在一定程度上谦逊难以衡量，因为谦逊是具有选择性的。)”符合语境。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了位于曲阜的因著名文化遗产“三孔”而闻名的明故城。
【56题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：明故城因三个与孔子有关的地址而有名，即孔庙、孔林以及孔府，这些于1994年被添加入世界文化遗产名录。根据句式结构可知，从which到句末为非限定性定语从句，修饰先行词its three Confucius sites，先行词在从句中作主语，所以空格部分做谓语。因为its three Confucius sites是被加入到联合国教科文组织的世界文化遗产名录，所以语态上应用被动；加入名录的时间在1994年12月，是过去的时间，所以此处用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是复数。故填were added。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意：因此，这座位于曲阜的明故城也被称为三孔景区。空格处的前一句和空格所在句子构成因果关系，该句是上一句的结果；空格处有逗号，所填词词性应为副词，单词位于句首，首字母大写。故填Therefore或者Thus。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意：曲阜的孔庙是中国最大最有名的，因为这里有生活在春秋时期的著名思想家、教育家和儒家学派创始人。由空格前most和前面的largest可知，“the largest”和“most_______”同为形容词最高级的表达，所以空处应用形容词famous，the most famous意为“最有名的”。故填famous。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：曲阜的孔庙是中国最大最有名的，因为这里有生活在春秋时期的著名思想家、教育家和儒家学派创始人。根据句式结构可知，从空格到句末为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the renowned(著名的) thinker, educator and founder of Confucianism，指人，且先行词在从句中做主语，因此用关系词who引导。故填who。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意：这座庙初建于孔子死后的次年公元前478年，在接下来的几个世纪中它几经重建和扩张。根据句意可知，此处指有好几个世纪，所以可数名词century应用复数形式。故填centuries。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意：拥有约21.8公顷占地面积，它是中国三大古建筑群之一。根据句意可知，此处表示“拥有约21.8公顷占地面积”，所以应用介词with，表示“拥有；带有”，单词位于句首，首字母大写，故填With。
【62题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：孔林是孔子及其许多后代坟墓被发现的地方。根据句式结构可知从where到句末为is后的表语从句，分析从句中的成分，不缺主语和宾语，缺少的是地点状语，应用where引导该表语从句。故填where。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：占地超过3000亩，有大约十万个坟墓在此被发掘，它是最大、最古老、保存最完好的家族墓和人工花园。根据句子结构可知，空格处为with复合结构中的非谓语部分，discover与其逻辑主语graves构成被动关系，应用过去分词。故填discovered。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：位于孔庙的东部，孔府是孔子后人生活的地方。根据句子结构可知，空处是非谓语动词做后置定语，修饰The Kong Family Mansion，动词locate与其逻辑主语The Kong Family Mansion之间构成被动关系，应该用过去分词。故填located。
【65题详解】
考查时态。句意：至今，明故城已经成为游客们体验儒家文化最好的地方之一。根据句式结构可知该空格应为谓语，又根据so far可知该用现在完成时，主语为单数。故填has become。

67. 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。
I heard her sing when I opened the door. And I saw my crippled(跛腿的) grandmother was dancing. I was absolutely shocked. Her legs were crippled as long as I could remember. She once was the pet of the dancing world. And then she had her accident and it was all over. I read that in an old newspaper. She turned around and saw me. Grandmother sighed and turned towards the kitchen. I followed her and saw she was walking fine. So, out of curiosity, I asked her “what’s going on?”
Oh Dear, let me share a little story of mine. “When your grandfather went to war, I was so afraid of losing him, the only way I could stay sane was to dance. And I became very good. Critics praised me, the public loved me, but all I could feel was the ache in my heart, not knowing whether the love of my life would ever return. Then I went home and reread his letters until I fell asleep. He always ended his letters with‘You are my joy. I love you with my life’ and after that he wrote his name. And then one day a letter came. There were only three sentences: ‘I have lost my leg. I give you back your freedom. It is best you forget about me.’”
“I made my decision there and then. I bought myself a cane and start pretending to be crippled. I told a reporter I had a car accident, and couldn’t dance again. Then I went to see your grandfather.” I told him “you’re not the only one who lost a leg; I am not going to let you feel sorry for yourself. There is a whole life waiting for us out there! I don’t intend to be sorry for myself, so youd better snap out of it too.” Grandmother giggled and continued. “I limped toward him and showed him two engagement rings. ‘Now show me you are still a man,’ I said, ‘I won’t ask again.’ He bent to take his cane from the ground and struggled out of that wheelchair. And so he managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life.”
I looked at the drawing on the kitchen wall, sketched by my grandfather. “You are my Joy. I love you with my life.” I murmured quietly.
注意：所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
Grandmother looked me in the eyes and asked me to make a promise.

【67题答案】
【答案】Paragraph 1
Grandmother looked me in the eyes and asked me to make a promise. “I want you to promise me that you will tell no one.” grandmother said. “Why not?” I said, “You sacrifice your career for the love of your life.” “What I did was my own decision, I don’t want others to talk about your grandfather or my fake accident.” “But it’s the most heart touching story I know, I still have tears in my eyes.” “Just make me the promise, at least not before the end of my days.” she said it with a demanding tone and sighed...” “Alright grandmother, I respect your decision, I promise you. But, I have a little request for myself!” I said it with a big smile across my face. “A request?” she asked. “Will you dance for me again? Please?” I asked with begging eyes, and we both laughed.
Paragraph 2
A few years went by. Six months after grandmother’s funeral. I made a decision to share her story with the world. But, it needed to be very formal and respectful. So, first I took a photo of the drawing on the kitchen wall, sketched by my grandfather; and showing both grandfather and grandmother’s cane under the drawing. The photo was for the cover page. Then I had a hard time choosing the topic between ‘I love you with my life’ and ‘Happiness’. And, I went with ‘Happiness’. Because, I believe this story makes others feel happy. Then, I had a formal sit-down with my parents, I wanted their approval before I moved forward, to show respect to the family. Finally, I had everything I needed for the story, and I posted on my Facebook, twitter, and blog. I had tons of feed-backs, and the story is still spreading, spreading grandmother’s love for grandfather, spreading happiness in the world.

【18~20题答案】
【答案】18. C 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】As the world holds its breath, waiting to see if the coronavirus is going to be defeated or if we will experience a second wave, many of us are looking to the future and find how our lives have changed. The virus has caused many people to work from home. If companies decide to continue allowing this, it will ease the burden on public transport. Many train and subway systems in major cities were struggling with the number of daily passengers. With restrictions and social distancing in place on many modes of transport, people have been shifting towards cycling as an alternative way to get around. During June 2020, the UK saw cycling levels rise by 300%. This was pushed by a government policy that allowed people to buy a bike tax free, allowing savings from 25% up to 39% depending on the cost of the bike. The coronavirus has also seen significant impact on jobs, with over 650,000 people in the UK having lost their roles during lockdown, mainly in the retail (零) and service section. However, other sections such as technology were much better as people try to find technical solutions to lockdown, such as video calling. Although it has been a shock, the world has adapted quickly to coronavirus, and many are hoping that these changes are here to stay, highlighting the fact that traditional ways of living and working should remain in the past.

Creative Vacation Travel Ideas
Couch Surfing
Those who are bohemians(豪放的人) at heart can travel the world and make new friends using the couch-surfing system. Couch-surfing networking sites allow travelers to research and connect with people in cities around the world who offer up their couch or guest room to strangers. Staying with the people is free of charge, though you will be expected to pay for your own food and entertainment. Most hosts will accommodate a pair of travelers, and the system is safer for inexperienced couch surfers.
Roaming African Hotel
The Shongololo Express is best described as a cruise(邮轮) on land. A fleet of air-conditioned, luxury trains transport travelers through Africa from south to north. The Express stops at prearranged locations of interests, similar to a cruise ship stopping at a port, and allows travelers a chance to get out and explore with the security of a group behind them. Meals and drinks are served on the trains, and there are common areas for socializing.
Underground Motel
Go under Down Under with a stay in the White Cliffs Underground Motel in New South Wales, Australia. The 30 guest rooms called dugouts are carved from supportive soft sandstone and ventilated(通风) with drilled vertical passages. The temperature is naturally regulated year round for a comfortable stay. The hotel includes an on-site restaurant. Guests may even request a personal tour of dugouts local citizens have built for their own homes.
Adventure Vacations
Adventure vacations are travel ideas that suit travelers who want to truly interact with the environment. The National Geographic compiles lists of the best adventure vacations around the world and also helps travelers book the vacations. You don't have to leave the country to have an adventure. The Florida Everglades, Glacier National Park in Montana, The Grand Canyon and The Gila Wilderness in Nevada are adventure vacations to suit the young and the young at heart.

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Staying with the people is free of charge, though you will be expected to pay for your own food and entertainment.”（ 和当地人住在一起是免费的，不过你需要自己支付食物和娱乐费用。）可知，Couch Surfing最大的优势是在这住宿是免费的。故选C项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A fleet of air-conditioned, luxury trains transport travelers through Africa from south to north.”（一列装有空调的豪华列车将游客从非洲南部运送到北部。）以及第三段中的“The 30 guest rooms called dugouts are carved from supportive soft sandstone and ventilated(通风) with drilled vertical passages. The temperature is naturally regulated year round for a comfortable stay.”（30间被称为“防空区”的客房由支撑性软砂岩雕刻而成，并通过钻出的垂直通道通风。这里的温度一年四季都是自然调节的，让人住得舒适。）可知，这两个宾馆的共同点就是非常舒服的。故选B项。

B
A second-grade education has not stopped garbage collector Jose from bringing the gift of reading to thousands of Colombian children.
Jose started rescuing books from the trash almost 20 years ago, when he was driving a garbage truck at night through the country’s wealthier neighborhoods. The rejected reading material slowly piled up, and now the ground floor of his small house is a temporary community library piled from floor to ceiling with some 20, 000 books, ranging from chemistry textbooks to children’s classics.
He says books are luxuries for boys and girls in low-income neighborhoods such as his, with new reading material at bookstores too expensive. There are 19 public libraries in Bogota, but they tend to be located far away from poorer areas. “Books are our salvation and that is what Colombia needs,” says Jose.
The 53-year-old Jose has a love of reading he attributes(归因于) to his mother, who always read to him even though she was too poor to keep him in school. “She used to read me stories every night,” said Jose, “To me, books are the greatest invention and the best thing that can happen to a human being.”
Jose still searches through the rubbish for additions to his library though he is very famous in Columbia. Jose is also a greedy reader of works by famous authors. He says he doesn’t reject technology that allows books to be read digitally, but says he prefers to read the printed word on paper. “There’s nothing more beautiful than having a book in your pocket, in your bag or inside your car,” he says.
24. How did Jose start his library?
A. By receiving textbooks from kids.
B. By collecting rejected books from garbage.
C. By rescuing used books from public libraries.
D. By getting donated books from local communities.
25. What is the barrier to public libraries in Bogota for kids in poorer areas?
A. High cost. B. Limited access. C. Bad location. D. Long distance.
26. Why did Jose quit school?
A. He hoped to found a library for poor kids.
B. He loved to stay at home studying alone.
C. His family couldn’t afford his tuition fees.
D. His mother taught him at home every night.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Jose gains fame for collecting trash.
B. Jose has become a well-known author.
C. Jose takes an objective attitude to digital books.
D. Jose prefers to read pocket books inside his car.
【24~27题答案】
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jose尽管只上到小学二年级，但是他热爱读书，20年前就开始从垃圾堆中收集书本，并将这些废弃的阅读材料放在他的小房子里，这些书堆起来成为了社区的一个临时图书馆。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Jose started rescuing books from the trash almost 20 years ago, (Jose大约20年前开始从垃圾堆里捡书)”和“The rejected reading material slowly piled up, and now the ground floor of his small house is a temporary community library...(废弃的阅读材料慢慢堆积起来，现在他的小房成为了一个临时的社区图书馆)”可知，Jose20年前就开始从垃圾堆中收集书本，并且这些废弃的阅读材料慢慢在他的小房子里堆起来成为了社区的一个临时图书馆，由此可知，Jose是通过从垃圾堆收集废弃的书本来建立这个图书馆的，故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“There are 19 public libraries in Bogota, but they tend to be located far away from poorer areas(在Bogota有19个公共图书馆，但它们往往位于远离贫困地区的地方。)”可知，公共图书馆距离贫困地区距离较远，因而孩子们去图书馆的阻碍因素是距离，故选D。
3. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The 53-year-old Jose has a love of reading he attributes(归因于) to his mother, who always read to him even though she was too poor to keep him in school.(53岁的Jose热爱阅读，他把这归功于他的母亲，尽管她太穷了，不能让他上学，但是母亲总是给他读书。)”可知，当时他母亲没有钱不能让Jose去学校读书，因此Jose辍学是因为家里负担不起学费，故选C。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“He says he doesn’t reject technology that allows books to be read digitally, but says he prefers to read the printed word on paper(他说他并不排斥数字阅读技术，但他更喜欢纸质书。)”可知，他不拒绝在科技进步下产生的电子书，但是他更偏爱纸质书本，因此他对于电子书的态度是客观的，没有一味地否定也没有特别地喜欢，故选C。
C
A sharp rise in US pedestrian(行人) deaths has been partly blamed on people using their smartphones while driving or crossing the road. A recent report estimates that there were 6, 000 pedestrian deaths in 2016, the highest number in more than 20 years. In the last six years, fatalities(死亡数) have grown at four times the rate of overall traffic deaths.
The report say a number of factors are to blame, including mobile use. “A more recent factor contributing to the increase in pedestrian fatalities may be the growing use of smartphones by all road users, which can be a significant source of distraction for both drivers and pedestrians,” the report stated. Other factors include increased driving and more walking for exercise and environmental reasons. Alcohol is also blamed.
The report is based on data from all states for the first six months of 2016. The UK’s Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said it also saw mobile phones as dangerously distracting.
“More and more teenagers and young adults are being injured as a result of distraction, as a result of crossing roads while using their phone. This can be as a result of having a conversation, listening to music, texting or using the net,” said road safety manager Nick Lloyd.
Some cities around the world are taking measures to counter the issue of smartphone distraction. In the Bavarian town, the station has fitted red and green lights in the ground to warn people who stubbornly look at their smartphone. Officials in the Dutch town ran trials in February of traffic lights that project a red or green lighting strip across the pavements to alert smartphone zombies who were glued to their mobiles as they cross the road. Social media, games and music are major distractions in traffic. Dutch road safety group VVN said that the idea rewarded bad behavior.
28. What is the purpose of the report?
A. To tell the readers a sharp rise in traffic deaths.
B. To state the reasons for the increase in pedestrian fatalities.
C. To remind people of the negative effects of using smartphones.
D. To appeal to the public not to use their smartphones on the road.
29. What is the major cause of pedestrian distraction?
A. Traffic flows. B. Exercise on the roads.
C. Smartphone use. D. Alcohol addiction.
30. Which can replace the underlined word “counter” in Paragraph 5?
A. Prevent. B. Calculate. C. Expose. D. Clarify.
31. What is the VVN’s attitude towards to trials in the Bavarian town?
A. Flexible. B. Conservative. C. Approving. D. Critical.
【28~31题答案】
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章提到美国行人死亡人数急剧上升，部分原因是人们在开车或过马路时使用智能手机，文章分析了造成这个现状主要的原因，并介绍了一些国家和地区正在采取措施来应对手机分心问题。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The report says a number of factors are to blame, including mobile use.(报告称，许多因素都是罪魁祸首，包括移动设备的使用。)”可知，该报告提到了一系列导致车祸的原因，包含了手机使用。包括第二段整一段都在陈述导致车祸的各类因素，如手机使用、开车增加、走路增加以及环境影响，因此该报告主要陈述了行人死亡数增加的原因，故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“More and more older teenagers and young adults are being injured as a result of distraction, as a result of crossing roads while using their phones.(越来越多的年纪较大的青少年和年轻人因为分心而受伤，因为在过马路时使用手机。)”可知，越来越多的人因为注意力分散而受伤，而注意力分散是因为穿马路的时候在使用手机，故选C。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线单词所在句子下文“In the Bavarian town, the station has fitted red and green lights in the ground to warn people who stubbornly look at their smartphone. (在巴伐利亚小镇，车站在地面安装了红色和绿色灯，以警告固执地看智能手机的人。)”；“Officials in the Dutch town ran trials in February of traffic lights that project a red or green lighting strip across the pavements to alert smartphone zombies who were glued to their mobiles as they cross the road. (今年2月，荷兰小镇的官员们试行了一种交通灯，在人行道上投射一条红色或绿色的灯带，以提醒那些在过马路时一直盯着手机的“智能手机僵尸”。)”可知，一些城市在采取措施来解决手机分散注意力问题，比如有些地方安装了红绿灯，有些地方做测试，结合划线单词所在句子“Some cities around the world are taking measures to counter the issue of smartphone distraction.(世界各地的一些城市正在采取措施......智能手机分心的问题。)”可知，划线单词“counter”应该是解决问题，防止问题的意思，结合选项可知prevent(防止)意思最贴切，可以替代counter。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Dutch road safety group VVN said that the idea rewarded bad behavior.(荷兰道路安全组织VVN表示，这一想法奖励了不良行为。)”和“Social media, games and music are major distractions in traffic.(社交媒体、游戏和音乐是交通中主要的干扰。)”可知，VVN认为把社交媒体、游戏和音乐作为分散因素这样的想法反而是帮助这些不好的行为找借口，由此可知，VVN对巴伐利亚审判的态度是批判的。故选D。
D
The oceans are warming faster than previously estimated, setting a new temperature record in 2018 in a trend that is damaging marine life, scientists said on Thursday. New measurements showed more warming since 1971 than 2013, they said.
And observational records of ocean heat content show that ocean warming is accelerating. Man-made greenhouse gas emissions are warming the atmosphere and a large part of the heat gets absorbed by the oceans. That in turn is forcing fish to flee to cooler waters. “Global warming is here, and has major consequences already. There is no doubt, none!” the authors wrote in a statement.
Data due for publication next week will show “20l8 was the warmest year on record for the global ocean, surpassing 2017, ” said lead author Lijing Cheng. He said that records for ocean warming had been broken almost yearly since 2000. Overall, temperatures in the ocean down to 2,000 meters rose about 0.1℃ from 1971 to 2010, he said. The 2013 U. N. assessment estimated slower rates of heat uptake but did not give a single comparable number. A separate study on Monday said 2018 was the fourth warmest year for global surface temperatures in records dating back to the 19th century.
Ocean temperatures are less influenced by year-to-year variations in the weather. It can take more than 1,000 years for deep ocean temperatures to adjust to changes at the surface. The deep ocean reflects the climate of the deep and uncertain past. Among effects, extra warmth can reduce oxygen in the oceans and damages coral reefs that are nurseries for fish, the scientists said. Warmer seas release more moisture that can stoke more powerful storms. Warmer ocean water also raises sea levels by melting ice, including around the edges of Antarctica and Greenland.
32. What forces fish to flee to cooler water?
A. Greenhouse gas. B. Ocean warming.
C. High record temperature. D. Man’s massive killing.
33. What can we learn from Data due for publication next week?
A. 2017 was the second warmest year in history.
B. Ocean temperature rose about 0.1℃ from 1971 to 2010.
C. Ocean warming began to be increasingly severe about 20 years ago.
D. 2018 was the fourth warmest year for ocean surface temperatures.
34. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 4?
A. To indicate the effect the weather on ocean warming.
B. To describe how severe climate change is nowadays.
C. To introduce what impacts ocean warming can have.
D. To present global warming causes the rise of sea levels.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Oceans Are Warming Faster than Expected
B. Ocean Warming Is Damaging Marine Life
C. Climate Change Raises Ocean Temperature
D. Global Warming Causes Extreme Weather
【32~35题答案】
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家发现海洋变暖的速度比此前估计的更快。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Man-made greenhouse gas emissions are warming the atmosphere and a large part of the heat gets absorbed by the oceans. That in turn is forcing fish to flee to cooler waters.(人为排放的温室气体正在使大气变暖，大部分热量被海洋吸收。这反过来又迫使鱼类逃往较冷的水域。)”可知，是温室气体排放导致大气变暖，这些热量又被海洋吸收，所以是海洋变暖造成的。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He said that records for ocean warming had been broken almost yearly since 2000.(他说，自2000年以来，海洋变暖的记录几乎每年都被打破。)”可知，从20年前开始，海洋升温变得越来越严重。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Among effects, extra warmth can reduce oxygen in the oceans and damages coral reefs that are nurseries for fish, the scientists said. Warmer seas release more moisture that can stoke more powerful storms. Warmer ocean water also raises sea levels by melting ice, including around the edges of Antarctica and Greenland.(科学家们说，额外的温暖会减少海洋中的氧气，破坏作为鱼类苗圃的珊瑚礁。温暖的海洋释放出更多的水汽，从而引发更强的风暴。海水变暖也会导致冰层融化，包括南极洲和格陵兰岛的边缘地区。)”可推断，作者写本段的目的是为了介绍海洋变暖可能产生的影响。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The oceans are warming faster than previously estimated, setting a new temperature record in 2018 in a trend that is damaging marine life, scientists said on Thursday. (科学家周四表示，海洋变暖的速度比此前估计的更快，在2018年创下了新的温度记录，这一趋势正在损害海洋生物。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了科学家发现海洋变暖的速度比此前估计的更快。所以“Oceans Are Warming Faster than Expected(海洋变暖的速度比预期的快)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。
第二节：（共5个小题；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。
Honesty and humility best predictors of job performances
A latest study finds that ratings of honesty and humility among employees may predict how their bosses view job performance. ____36____.
Over a period of a year and a half, Dr. Wade, a professor Baylor University, and his team conducted online surveys of about 270 employees from 25 companies in the health care field. ____37____ These results were then compared to performance reviews completed by the employees’ inspectors, who rated each worker according to 35 job skills. ____38____.
Employees who self-reported high levels of honesty and humility consistently received better job performance reviews by their supervisors.
Wade acknowledges that honesty and humility will not predict job performance in every field, especially for jobs where a high level of self-promotion is necessary, such as sales roles or entertainers. He said, however, that in many workplaces, employees who show honesty and humility will be liked by their colleagues. ____39____ They probably get along with their inspectors and co-workers, and this is driving some of the better performance ratings.
____40____ Many humble people may not self-report that they are humble, Wade said, while narcissists(自我陶醉者) might fake humility to make themselves more appealing. While he admits his study did not have a control for such behavior, previous studies of peer ratings of humility have shown that self-reports usually connect with those of colleagues. Honesty and humility are socially desirable qualities, there's really no way around that.
A. Those invited are honest and humble.
B. Honesty and humility in jobs are essential.
C. Partly difficult to measure, humility is alternative.
D. They are trustworthy, down-to-earth, and easy to relate to.
E. Most worked in jobs that involved one-to-one care of challenging clients.
F. As honesty and humility increase, inspector ratings of job performance increase.
G. Participants in 20 states were asked to self-report on their own character qualities.
【36~40题答案】
【答案】36. F 37. G 38. E 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了诚实和谦逊是工作表现的最佳预测因素。
【详解】1. 根据上一句“A latest study finds that ratings of honesty and humility among employees may predict how their bosses view job performance.( 一项最新研究发现，员工的诚实度和谦逊度可能会预测老板对工作表现的看法。)”可知，员工的诚实度和谦逊度可能会影响老板对工作表现的看法，由此可知，下文进一步对此进行陈述，即员工的诚实度和谦逊度与老板对工作表现的看法之间的关系，F选项“As honesty and humility increase, inspector ratings of job performance increase.(诚实度和谦逊度提高，监督员对工作表现的评级也随之提高。)”符合语境，承接上文，故选F。
2. 根据上文“Over a period of a year and a half, Dr. Wade, a professor Baylor University, and his team conducted online surveys of about 270 employees from 25 companies in the health care field.(在一年半的时间里，Baylor大学教授Wade博士和他的团队对医疗保健领域25家公司的270名员工进行了网上调查。)”可知，此处介绍了Dr. Wade和他的同事进行了网上调查，后文“These results were then compared to performance reviews completed by the employees’ inspectors, who rated each worker according to 35 job skills.( 然后将这些结果与员工检查员完成的绩效评估进行比较，检查员是根据35项工作技能对每个员工进行评估的。)”是对调查过程的具体描述，由此可知，G项“Participants in 20 states were asked to self-report on their own character qualities.(20个州的参加者被要求报告他们的性格特点）”也是对调查过程的描述，符合语境，其中“Participants”代指上文提到的“about 270 employees from 25 companies”，故选G。
3. 根据上文“These results were then compared to performance reviews completed by the employees’ inspectors, who rated each worker according to 35 job skills.( 然后将这些结果与员工检查员完成的绩效评估进行比较，检查员根据35项工作技能对每个员工进行评估。)”可知，此处是对网上调查过程的描述，即将在线调查的结果和这些雇员的检查员对于他们的表现评价进行比较。E选项“Most worked in jobs that involved one-to-one care of challenging clients.(大多数人从事的工作涉及对具有挑战性的客户进行一对一的护理)”补充说明这些参与者的工作情况，符合语境，故选E。
4. 根据上文“He said, however, that in many workplaces, employees who show honesty and humility will be liked by their colleagues.( 然而，他说，在许多工作场所，表现出诚实和谦逊的员工会受到同事的喜爱。) ”可知，在许多工作场合，诚实和谦虚的人受同事喜欢，由此可知，下文应该是解释诚实和谦虚的人受同事喜欢的原因。D项“They are trustworthy, down-to-earth, and easy to relate to.(他们值得信赖，脚踏实地，共情能力强。)”符合语境，故选D。
5. 根据下文“Many humble people may not self-report that they are humble, Wade said, while narcissists(自我陶醉者) might fake humility to make themselves more appealing. (Wade说，许多谦逊的人可能不会自我报告自己很谦逊，而自恋者可能会假装谦逊，以增加自己的吸引力。)”可知，许多谦逊的人可能不会称自己很谦卑，而自恋者可能会假装谦卑。由此可见，此处说明了谦虚是有选择性这一特点，所以选项C“Partly difficult to measure, humility is alternative.(在一定程度上谦逊难以衡量，因为谦逊是具有选择性的。)”符合语境。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了位于曲阜的因著名文化遗产“三孔”而闻名的明故城。
【56题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：明故城因三个与孔子有关的地址而有名，即孔庙、孔林以及孔府，这些于1994年被添加入世界文化遗产名录。根据句式结构可知，从which到句末为非限定性定语从句，修饰先行词its three Confucius sites，先行词在从句中作主语，所以空格部分做谓语。因为its three Confucius sites是被加入到联合国教科文组织的世界文化遗产名录，所以语态上应用被动；加入名录的时间在1994年12月，是过去的时间，所以此处用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是复数。故填were added。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意：因此，这座位于曲阜的明故城也被称为三孔景区。空格处的前一句和空格所在句子构成因果关系，该句是上一句的结果；空格处有逗号，所填词词性应为副词，单词位于句首，首字母大写。故填Therefore或者Thus。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意：曲阜的孔庙是中国最大最有名的，因为这里有生活在春秋时期的著名思想家、教育家和儒家学派创始人。由空格前most和前面的largest可知，“the largest”和“most_______”同为形容词最高级的表达，所以空处应用形容词famous，the most famous意为“最有名的”。故填famous。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：曲阜的孔庙是中国最大最有名的，因为这里有生活在春秋时期的著名思想家、教育家和儒家学派创始人。根据句式结构可知，从空格到句末为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the renowned(著名的) thinker, educator and founder of Confucianism，指人，且先行词在从句中做主语，因此用关系词who引导。故填who。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意：这座庙初建于孔子死后的次年公元前478年，在接下来的几个世纪中它几经重建和扩张。根据句意可知，此处指有好几个世纪，所以可数名词century应用复数形式。故填centuries。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意：拥有约21.8公顷占地面积，它是中国三大古建筑群之一。根据句意可知，此处表示“拥有约21.8公顷占地面积”，所以应用介词with，表示“拥有；带有”，单词位于句首，首字母大写，故填With。
【62题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：孔林是孔子及其许多后代坟墓被发现的地方。根据句式结构可知从where到句末为is后的表语从句，分析从句中的成分，不缺主语和宾语，缺少的是地点状语，应用where引导该表语从句。故填where。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：占地超过3000亩，有大约十万个坟墓在此被发掘，它是最大、最古老、保存最完好的家族墓和人工花园。根据句子结构可知，空格处为with复合结构中的非谓语部分，discover与其逻辑主语graves构成被动关系，应用过去分词。故填discovered。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：位于孔庙的东部，孔府是孔子后人生活的地方。根据句子结构可知，空处是非谓语动词做后置定语，修饰The Kong Family Mansion，动词locate与其逻辑主语The Kong Family Mansion之间构成被动关系，应该用过去分词。故填located。
【65题详解】
考查时态。句意：至今，明故城已经成为游客们体验儒家文化最好的地方之一。根据句式结构可知该空格应为谓语，又根据so far可知该用现在完成时，主语为单数。故填has become。

67. 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。
I heard her sing when I opened the door. And I saw my crippled(跛腿的) grandmother was dancing. I was absolutely shocked. Her legs were crippled as long as I could remember. She once was the pet of the dancing world. And then she had her accident and it was all over. I read that in an old newspaper. She turned around and saw me. Grandmother sighed and turned towards the kitchen. I followed her and saw she was walking fine. So, out of curiosity, I asked her “what’s going on?”
Oh Dear, let me share a little story of mine. “When your grandfather went to war, I was so afraid of losing him, the only way I could stay sane was to dance. And I became very good. Critics praised me, the public loved me, but all I could feel was the ache in my heart, not knowing whether the love of my life would ever return. Then I went home and reread his letters until I fell asleep. He always ended his letters with‘You are my joy. I love you with my life’ and after that he wrote his name. And then one day a letter came. There were only three sentences: ‘I have lost my leg. I give you back your freedom. It is best you forget about me.’”
“I made my decision there and then. I bought myself a cane and start pretending to be crippled. I told a reporter I had a car accident, and couldn’t dance again. Then I went to see your grandfather.” I told him “you’re not the only one who lost a leg; I am not going to let you feel sorry for yourself. There is a whole life waiting for us out there! I don’t intend to be sorry for myself, so youd better snap out of it too.” Grandmother giggled and continued. “I limped toward him and showed him two engagement rings. ‘Now show me you are still a man,’ I said, ‘I won’t ask again.’ He bent to take his cane from the ground and struggled out of that wheelchair. And so he managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life.”
I looked at the drawing on the kitchen wall, sketched by my grandfather. “You are my Joy. I love you with my life.” I murmured quietly.
注意：所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
Grandmother looked me in the eyes and asked me to make a promise.

【67题答案】
【答案】Paragraph 1
Grandmother looked me in the eyes and asked me to make a promise. “I want you to promise me that you will tell no one.” grandmother said. “Why not?” I said, “You sacrifice your career for the love of your life.” “What I did was my own decision, I don’t want others to talk about your grandfather or my fake accident.” “But it’s the most heart touching story I know, I still have tears in my eyes.” “Just make me the promise, at least not before the end of my days.” she said it with a demanding tone and sighed...” “Alright grandmother, I respect your decision, I promise you. But, I have a little request for myself!” I said it with a big smile across my face. “A request?” she asked. “Will you dance for me again? Please?” I asked with begging eyes, and we both laughed.
Paragraph 2
A few years went by. Six months after grandmother’s funeral. I made a decision to share her story with the world. But, it needed to be very formal and respectful. So, first I took a photo of the drawing on the kitchen wall, sketched by my grandfather; and showing both grandfather and grandmother’s cane under the drawing. The photo was for the cover page. Then I had a hard time choosing the topic between ‘I love you with my life’ and ‘Happiness’. And, I went with ‘Happiness’. Because, I believe this story makes others feel happy. Then, I had a formal sit-down with my parents, I wanted their approval before I moved forward, to show respect to the family. Finally, I had everything I needed for the story, and I posted on my Facebook, twitter, and blog. I had tons of feed-backs, and the story is still spreading, spreading grandmother’s love for grandfather, spreading happiness in the world.
