第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Some people consider devices like iPhones and laptops to be a roadblock to an enjoyable vacation. But for my recent trip to Europe, using gadgets enhanced my journey without breaking the bank.
Here are some international technology travel tips:
TripIt:
The best way to keep track of your flight details and other travel information is with a free account at TripIt.com. As you book flights and hotels, just send the confirmation e-mails to plans @ tripit.com and the service will automatically create an itinerary (行程表) for you. TripIt offers a great free app that will let you access your travel plans when you are offline, as long as you sync (同步) it once when you have an Internet connection.
Google Maps
We added a 50 MB international data plan so we could access Google Maps walking directions. Since it’s hard to quantify how much data you will need, use the iPhone’s cellular (无线的，蜂窝的) network data trackers to keep track of usage and use little of your phone. Turn off automatic e-mail checking and active notifications, and put the phone in airplane mode whenever you are not using it. While Google’s walking directions came in handy many times, they weren’t always correct, so it’s smart to keep an old-fashioned paper map as well. You’ll also want to carry an iPhone charger with you, or spare battery for when you run out of juice.
Riversteves
Many of Europe’s world-class museums such as the Louvre in Paris and the Prado in Madrid have portable audio tour guides, but the guides can cost as much as 6 euros each in addition to your admission.
In some cases, we skipped the museum guides and downloaded free high-quality podcast audio tours from well-known travel author and TV host Rick Steves. The free audio tours can be downloaded from riversteves.com or iTunes, and they feature pictures for each stop on the tour so you can make sure you are in the right place.
21．Which of the following can help you track your travel details?
A．iTunes. B．Riversteves. C．TripIt. D．Google Map.
22．What does Riversteves offer you?
A．Beautiful pictures of world-class museums. B．Free podcast audio tours.
C．Exciting travel stories of Rick Steves. D．Charged audio tour guides.
23．What do these apps have in common?
A．They mainly save money in the holiday.
B．They aim to keep track of the new technology.
C．They make for a good holiday experience.
D．They guarantee good preparations for the holiday.

B
In 2018, the state of California was on fire. Alexandria Villasenor, who was 13 at the time, witnessed the destruction of Northern California’s Camp Fire, which would go on to burn more than 150,000 acres of land. Villasenor was scared. “That’s when I found out how important climate education was,” she reflected. “And just how much we lacked climate education these past couple of years.”
Villasenor, now 15, is determined to have a bigger conversation. She quickly realized the fight requires international, govemment-level changes. For her, what started as local concern turned into a year-long protest in front of the United Nations’ New York City headquarters and a global campaign for more compulsory climate education. She sat on a bench in front of the headquarters, pleading for the world’s leaders to take climate change seriously.
Her action received national attention, with millions of other students around the world joining in the movement. “It’s completely unacceptable to not learn anything about our planet and our environment in school, after all the young people would ‘inherit’ the Earth.” Villasenor said, “That’s why I think that climate education is so important, and that’s why I focus a lot on it now.”
Right now, Villasenor is working with the Biden-Harris administration on its climate plan, which has promised to center the needs of young people and communities most impacted by climate change. She even spoke at the 2020 Democratic National Convention. “That was definitely a huge moment when I realized that people were listening to the voices of me and youth climate activists,” Villasenor said.
When she isn’t connecting with her fellow youth activists or holding elected officials accountable to the climate concerns of their young voters, Villasenor is like most other teens. “My favorite thing to do, of course, is sleep.” she said. “I like to read a lot. I like fantasy books, normally. I also like to write.”
24．What made Villasenor realize the lack of climate education?
A．The state of California. B．The fire disasters in America.
C．150, 000 acres of land scaring her. D．The severe Camp fire in California.
25．What does the underlined part “have a bigger conversation” mean?
A．To talk with more local people to change their mind.
B．To convey her belief loudly to more global students.
C．To protest to leaders at home and abroad to make changes.
D．To call on local people to fight with the leaders.
26．Which of the following facts gives Villasenor a sense of achievement?
A．That she is working with the Biden-Harris administration on its climate plan.
B．That her and other youth climate activists’ opinions caught people’s attention.
C．That she can sleep and read in her spare time.
D．That more schools have set up climate courses.
27．What is this passage mainly about?
A．The 15-year-old activist fighting for better climate education.
B．Climate education deserves everyone’s attention around the world.
C．How to prevent camp fire.
D．Young activists make their voices heard.

C
Among the many ecological disasters that terrify us today, one that only a handful of people have considered as sufficiently terrifying is the loss of the bats in our church tower. According to “The Darkness Manifesto” (Scribner), by the Swedish ecologist Johan Eklf, most churches in southwest Sweden had bat colonies back in the nineteen-eighties, and now most of them don’t.
Light pollution, his research suggests, has been a major reason: “District after district has installed modern floodlights to show the architecture it’s proud of, all the while the animals-who have for centuries found safety in the darkness of the church towers and who have for 70 million years made the night their home-are slowly but surely vanishing from these places.”
The difference between light and dark is, in a way, arbitrary: what counts as light and what as darkness depends on what wavelengths we can make out. But the nocturnal (夜间活动的) world gives rise to creatures, equipped with large-pupilled and infrared-sensitive eyes, that see what we cannot and that, under cover of darkness, act as we can only imagine.
We learn, for instance, of the ghost moths, a species in which the adult males appear in fields in twilight, floating weirdly as they signal to the females-only to mate once and then fall to the ground dead. Though Eklf tells us that these creatures are threatened by the confusing presence of artificial light and that moths play a crucial role as pollinators (“something of invaluable importance for keeping our ecosystem undamaged and thriving”), what one recalls is the sad fate of their couplings.
Nor are bugs and birds alone affected by the light; so are plants, and so are humans. Our eyes adapt badly to darkness, and our night vision-which is activated by the pigment protein rhodopsin (视紫红质)-takes a long while to turn on. By now, cities such as Singapore and Hong Kong are so brightly lit that their inhabitants scarcely call on night vision at all, and, as their rhodopsin becomes unnecessary, they may well create people in later generations who, in even middling darkness, are as blind as bats.
28．How has light pollution affected bats in southwest Sweden?
A．Bats have had nowhere to stay. B．Bats have adapted to well-lit environment.
C．Bats have moved away from the church towers. D．Bats have become endangered.
29．Which of the following can best describe nocturnal creatures?
A．They are sensitive to different wavelengths of light.
B．They are only active during the daytime.
C．They are not affected by light pollution.
D．They are unable to see in darkness.
30．What does the writer want to tell us by the example in paragraph 4?
A．The arbitrary nature of light and dark. B．The beauty and tragedy of the ghost moths.
C．The threat that nocturnal creatures face. D．The importance of nocturnal creatures.
31．How does the writer sound in the last paragraph?
A．Highly critical of the local government. B．Alarmed by the impact of artificial light.
C．Curious about the effects of light pollution. D．Admiring of the adaptability of bats.

D
One of the oldest metaphors (隐喻) for human interaction with technology is the relationship of master and slave. Aristotle imagined that technology could replace slavery if machine became automated. Marx and Engels saw things differently. “Masses of laborers are daily and hourly enslaved by the machine,” they wrote in the Communist Manifesto.
Today, computers often play both roles. Nicholas Carr, in his new book The Glass Cage: Automation and Us, takes a stand on whether such technology imprisons or liberates its users. We are increasingly engaged, he argues, but the invisibility of our high-tech traps gives us the ‘image of freedom’. He describes doctors who rely so much on decision-assistance software that they overlook signals that are not obvious from patients.
All of this has obvious implications for the use of technology in classrooms: When do technologies free students to think about more interesting and complex questions, and when do they destroy the very cognitive (认知) capacities that they are meant to improve? The effect of spell check and AutoCorrect software is an example. Psychologists have found the act of forming a word in your mind strengthens your capacity to remember it. When a computer automatically corrects a spelling mistake, we’re no longer forced to form the correct spelling in our minds.
This might not seem very important. The process of word formation is not just supplementing spelling skills, it’s also destroying students. When students find themselves without automated spelling assistance, they don’t face the prospect of freezing to death, as the Inuits did when their GPS malfunctioned, but they’re more likely to make errors. This creates a vicious cycle: The more we use the technology, the more we need to use it in all circumstances. Suddenly, our position as masters of technology starts to seem more insecure.
32．What did Marx and Engels think of the machine?
A．It did the boring daily work for people.
B．It failed to free people from being enslaved.
C．It gave people more time to enjoy themselves.
D．It was the result of the development of technology.
33．Which of the following is Nicholas Carr most likely to agree with?
A．Technology is a guarantee of freedom.
B．Doctors should stay away from technology.
C．Too much involvement with technology may be risky.
D．Some decision-assistance software needs improving.
34．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph4 refer to?
A．Students being unable to spell words correctly.
B．Spell check helping students remember more words.
C．Students depending too much on spelling software.
D．Spellcheck destroying students’ cognitive capacities.
35．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．Is technology making people stupid or not?
B．Which areas are most affected by technology?
C．Are people satisfied with the advancement of technology?
D．Why shouldn’t technology be employed in the classroom?

第二节 读后续写 （满分25分）
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。
My wife and I never had a green thumb when it came to keeping plants alive far more than a few weeks. So, when I was diagnosed with cancer we didn’t even think about adding a plant to our small apartment. But one day, my friend stopped by and gave us a beautiful plant as a gift, insisting that it would bring life to our home and a sense of calmness during this difficult time.
Surprisingly, the plant took off and grew beautifully, and it brought a sense of joy to our home that we desperately needed. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment at a time when I sometimes felt useless.
I am a physician, and taking care of the plant made me feel like a caregiver once again. It was nice to be able to nurture something and watch it grow. Since my diagnosis in August 2018， far too often, it seemed, I had to rely on help from other people. The enormous change left me feeling aimless and unsettled. Watering the plant, as small an act as it was，connected me to a core part of my old identity. Plants and people could still depend on me.
For the next few months, I was recovering from surgery and receiving radiation. Despite my ongoing treatments, we found some peace through tending to the plant. The simple act of watering and watching it grow gave us something to focus 4 outside of my health. It became a small but meaningful part of our lives.
Then, mysteriously, it began to show signs of losing liveliness.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I became less anxious, I began to search online for how to care for my plant.

Then, mysteriously, it began to show signs of losing liveliness. I increased my plant watering, and then decreased it. Still, the leaves kept browning and dropping to the floor. I grew more and more frustrated and uneasy. The thought that I couldn’t even care for a simple plant started to haunt me like a shadow. For the past few months, a bond had been built between me and the plant. I couldn’t shake the feeling that if the plant died, I might too. Having seen through my heart and sensed my fear, my wife comforted me, “Honey, your treatment is working well and maybe the plant just needs its.” Her words did make sense and settled my nerves.
As I became less anxious, I began to search online for how to care for my plant. Following the instructions, I transplanted the tree to a larger pot, giving its roots more room to grow and buried some solid plant nutrient under the top layer of the earth. Soon, we both began to thrive again. Whenever I look at the tree with its shinny and lush leaves in its new pot, I make it a point to appreciate my wife and the other people who have cared for and supported me. If the plant outlives me, I hope it will inspire my wife to live her life to the fullest.

第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Some people consider devices like iPhones and laptops to be a roadblock to an enjoyable vacation. But for my recent trip to Europe, using gadgets enhanced my journey without breaking the bank.
Here are some international technology travel tips:
TripIt:
The best way to keep track of your flight details and other travel information is with a free account at TripIt.com. As you book flights and hotels, just send the confirmation e-mails to plans @ tripit.com and the service will automatically create an itinerary (行程表) for you. TripIt offers a great free app that will let you access your travel plans when you are offline, as long as you sync (同步) it once when you have an Internet connection.
Google Maps
We added a 50 MB international data plan so we could access Google Maps walking directions. Since it’s hard to quantify how much data you will need, use the iPhone’s cellular (无线的，蜂窝的) network data trackers to keep track of usage and use little of your phone. Turn off automatic e-mail checking and active notifications, and put the phone in airplane mode whenever you are not using it. While Google’s walking directions came in handy many times, they weren’t always correct, so it’s smart to keep an old-fashioned paper map as well. You’ll also want to carry an iPhone charger with you, or spare battery for when you run out of juice.
Riversteves
Many of Europe’s world-class museums such as the Louvre in Paris and the Prado in Madrid have portable audio tour guides, but the guides can cost as much as 6 euros each in addition to your admission.
In some cases, we skipped the museum guides and downloaded free high-quality podcast audio tours from well-known travel author and TV host Rick Steves. The free audio tours can be downloaded from riversteves.com or iTunes, and they feature pictures for each stop on the tour so you can make sure you are in the right place.
21．Which of the following can help you track your travel details?
A．iTunes. B．Riversteves. C．TripIt. D．Google Map.
22．What does Riversteves offer you?
A．Beautiful pictures of world-class museums. B．Free podcast audio tours.
C．Exciting travel stories of Rick Steves. D．Charged audio tour guides.
23．What do these apps have in common?
A．They mainly save money in the holiday.
B．They aim to keep track of the new technology.
C．They make for a good holiday experience.
D．They guarantee good preparations for the holiday.

【答案】21．C 22．B 23．C

【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一些经济且有趣的国际旅行适用应用程序。
21．细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The best way to keep track of your flight details and other travel information is with a free account at TripIt.com.(跟踪航班细节和其他旅游信息的最好方法是在TripIt.com上注册一个免费账户。)”可知，TripIt可以帮助你跟踪你的旅行细节。故选C。
22．细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“In some cases, we skipped the museum guides and downloaded free high-quality podcast audio tours from well-known travel author and TV host Rick Steves.(在某些情况下，我们跳过了博物馆的导览，下载了著名旅行作家和电视主持人里克·史蒂夫斯的免费高质量播客音频导览。)”可知，Riversteves能提供免费播客音频导览。故选B。
23．推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“But for my recent trip to Europe, using gadgets enhanced my journey without breaking the bank.(但在我最近的欧洲之行中，使用电子设备让我的旅行更有乐趣，而且还没有花光钱。)”和第二段“Here are some international technology travel tips:(以下是一些国际科技旅行小贴士：)”可知，这些应用程序的共同点是它们都可以带来好的假期体验。故选C。
B
In 2018, the state of California was on fire. Alexandria Villasenor, who was 13 at the time, witnessed the destruction of Northern California’s Camp Fire, which would go on to burn more than 150,000 acres of land. Villasenor was scared. “That’s when I found out how important climate education was,” she reflected. “And just how much we lacked climate education these past couple of years.”
Villasenor, now 15, is determined to have a bigger conversation. She quickly realized the fight requires international, govemment-level changes. For her, what started as local concern turned into a year-long protest in front of the United Nations’ New York City headquarters and a global campaign for more compulsory climate education. She sat on a bench in front of the headquarters, pleading for the world’s leaders to take climate change seriously.
Her action received national attention, with millions of other students around the world joining in the movement. “It’s completely unacceptable to not learn anything about our planet and our environment in school, after all the young people would ‘inherit’ the Earth.” Villasenor said, “That’s why I think that climate education is so important, and that’s why I focus a lot on it now.”
Right now, Villasenor is working with the Biden-Harris administration on its climate plan, which has promised to center the needs of young people and communities most impacted by climate change. She even spoke at the 2020 Democratic National Convention. “That was definitely a huge moment when I realized that people were listening to the voices of me and youth climate activists,” Villasenor said.
When she isn’t connecting with her fellow youth activists or holding elected officials accountable to the climate concerns of their young voters, Villasenor is like most other teens. “My favorite thing to do, of course, is sleep.” she said. “I like to read a lot. I like fantasy books, normally. I also like to write.”
24．What made Villasenor realize the lack of climate education?
A．The state of California. B．The fire disasters in America.
C．150, 000 acres of land scaring her. D．The severe Camp fire in California.
25．What does the underlined part “have a bigger conversation” mean?
A．To talk with more local people to change their mind.
B．To convey her belief loudly to more global students.
C．To protest to leaders at home and abroad to make changes.
D．To call on local people to fight with the leaders.
26．Which of the following facts gives Villasenor a sense of achievement?
A．That she is working with the Biden-Harris administration on its climate plan.
B．That her and other youth climate activists’ opinions caught people’s attention.
C．That she can sleep and read in her spare time.
D．That more schools have set up climate courses.
27．What is this passage mainly about?
A．The 15-year-old activist fighting for better climate education.
B．Climate education deserves everyone’s attention around the world.
C．How to prevent camp fire.
D．Young activists make their voices heard.

【答案】24．D 25．C 26．B 27．A

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是15岁的Alexandria Villasenor为更好的气候教育而不断斗争的故事。
24．细节理解题。根据首段中的“Alexandria Villasenor, who was 13 at the time, witnessed the destruction of Northern California’s Camp Fire, which would go on to burn more than 150,000 acres of land. Villasenor was scared. “That’s when I found out how important climate education was,” she reflected.(当时13岁的Alexandria Villasenor目睹了北加州营火的毁灭，这场大火烧毁了超过15万英亩的土地。Villasenor吓坏了。“那时我才意识到气候教育是多么重要，”她回忆道。)”可知， Alexandria在13岁的时候目睹的那场大火，让她意识到了气候教育的重要性，由此可知，加州的那次严重的大火让她意识到气候教育的缺乏。故选D项。
25．词句猜测题。根据划线句子后的“She quickly realized the fight requires international, government-level changes. For her, what started as local concern turned into a year-long protest in front of the United Nations’ New York City headquarters and a global campaign for more compulsory climate education.(她很快意识到，这场斗争需要国际层面的、政府层面的变革。对她来说，一开始只是当地的关注，后来演变成了在联合国纽约总部门前长达一年的抗议活动，以及一场要求加强气候义务教育的全球运动。)”可知，这场战斗一开始得到了当地的关注，但她认识到这场战斗需要的是国际性的，政府层面的变化，所以出现了对联合国总部前的长达一年的抗议活动以及要求强制性气候教育的全球运动，由此可推断，划线句子中所提到的“更大的对话”应该是让国内外的领导人对气候教育做出改变。故选C项。
26．细节理解题。根据第四段中的““That was definitely a huge moment when I realized that people were listening to the voices of me and youth climate activists,” Villasenor said.( Villasenor说：“当我意识到人们正在倾听我和青年气候活动家的声音时，这绝对是一个重大时刻。”)”可知，Villasenor认为人们关注了自己与青年气候活动家的呼声是个重大的时刻，由此可知，她和其他青年气候活动家的观点引起人们的注意使她有一种成就感。故选B项。
27．主旨大意题。根据首段中的““That’s when I found out how important climate education was,” she reflected. “And just how much we lacked climate education these past couple of years.”(“就在那时，我发现了气候教育的重要性，”她回忆道。“以及过去几年我们多么缺乏气候教育。”.)”引出本文要讲述的话题，结合下文对Villasenor为了让国内外的领导人对气候教育引起重视而采取的行动以及所取得成就的介绍可知，本文主要讲述的是Villasenor为了更好的气候教育而进行的斗争。故选A项。
C
Among the many ecological disasters that terrify us today, one that only a handful of people have considered as sufficiently terrifying is the loss of the bats in our church tower. According to “The Darkness Manifesto” (Scribner), by the Swedish ecologist Johan Eklf, most churches in southwest Sweden had bat colonies back in the nineteen-eighties, and now most of them don’t.
Light pollution, his research suggests, has been a major reason: “District after district has installed modern floodlights to show the architecture it’s proud of, all the while the animals-who have for centuries found safety in the darkness of the church towers and who have for 70 million years made the night their home-are slowly but surely vanishing from these places.”
The difference between light and dark is, in a way, arbitrary: what counts as light and what as darkness depends on what wavelengths we can make out. But the nocturnal (夜间活动的) world gives rise to creatures, equipped with large-pupilled and infrared-sensitive eyes, that see what we cannot and that, under cover of darkness, act as we can only imagine.
We learn, for instance, of the ghost moths, a species in which the adult males appear in fields in twilight, floating weirdly as they signal to the females-only to mate once and then fall to the ground dead. Though Eklf tells us that these creatures are threatened by the confusing presence of artificial light and that moths play a crucial role as pollinators (“something of invaluable importance for keeping our ecosystem undamaged and thriving”), what one recalls is the sad fate of their couplings.
Nor are bugs and birds alone affected by the light; so are plants, and so are humans. Our eyes adapt badly to darkness, and our night vision-which is activated by the pigment protein rhodopsin (视紫红质)-takes a long while to turn on. By now, cities such as Singapore and Hong Kong are so brightly lit that their inhabitants scarcely call on night vision at all, and, as their rhodopsin becomes unnecessary, they may well create people in later generations who, in even middling darkness, are as blind as bats.
28．How has light pollution affected bats in southwest Sweden?
A．Bats have had nowhere to stay. B．Bats have adapted to well-lit environment.
C．Bats have moved away from the church towers. D．Bats have become endangered.
29．Which of the following can best describe nocturnal creatures?
A．They are sensitive to different wavelengths of light.
B．They are only active during the daytime.
C．They are not affected by light pollution.
D．They are unable to see in darkness.
30．What does the writer want to tell us by the example in paragraph 4?
A．The arbitrary nature of light and dark. B．The beauty and tragedy of the ghost moths.
C．The threat that nocturnal creatures face. D．The importance of nocturnal creatures.
31．How does the writer sound in the last paragraph?
A．Highly critical of the local government. B．Alarmed by the impact of artificial light.
C．Curious about the effects of light pollution. D．Admiring of the adaptability of bats.

【答案】28．C 29．A 30．C 31．B

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了瑞典生态学家约翰·埃克夫的一项研究结果：瑞典西南部的大多数教堂在20世纪80年代都有蝙蝠群落，而现在大多数教堂都没有了，而造成这种严重后果的罪魁祸首是人造光。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段““District after district has installed modern floodlights to show the architecture it’s proud of, all the while the animals-who have for centuries found safety in the darkness of the church towers and who have for 70 million years made the night their home-are slowly but surely vanishing from these places.””（“一个又一个地区安装了现代化的照明灯，以展示他们引以为傲的建筑，与此同时，动物们——几个世纪以来一直在教堂塔楼的黑暗中找到安全，7000万年来一直以夜晚为家——正在缓慢但肯定地从这些地方消失。”）可知，光污染带给蝙蝠的影响是使得它们逐渐从教堂塔楼这些地方消失。选项C与文意相符，故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段“The difference between light and dark is, in a way, arbitrary: what counts as light and what as darkness depends on what wavelengths we can make out. But the nocturnal (夜间活动的) world gives rise to creatures, equipped with large-pupilled and infrared-sensitive eyes, that see what we cannot and that, under cover of darkness, act as we can only imagine.”（在某种程度上，光明和黑暗的区别是任意的：什么是光明，什么是黑暗取决于我们能辨认出什么波长。但是在夜间的世界里，出现了一些生物，它们拥有大瞳孔和红外敏感的眼睛，它们能看到我们看不到的东西，在黑暗的掩护下，它们能按照我们只能想象的方式行事。）可知，夜间活动的生物，拥有大瞳孔和红外敏感的眼睛，使得它们能看到我们看不到的东西，说明它们对不同的波长是敏感的。故选A。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段中“We learn, for instance, of the ghost moths, a species in which the adult males appear in fields in twilight, floating weirdly as they signal to the females-only to mate once and then fall to the ground dead. Though Eklf tells us that these creatures are threatened by the confusing presence of artificial light and that moths play a crucial role as pollinators (“something of invaluable importance for keeping our ecosystem undamaged and thriving”), what one recalls is the sad fate of their couplings.”（例如，我们知道了鬼蛾，这是一种成年雄蛾在暮色中出现在田野里，怪异地漂浮着，向雌蛾发出信号——只交配一次，然后就死在地上。虽然埃克夫告诉我们，这些生物受到人造光的威胁，而且飞蛾在传粉方面发挥着至关重要的作用（“这对保持我们的生态系统不受破坏和繁荣至关重要”），但人们回忆起的是它们交配的悲惨命运。）可知，通过事例说明了夜行动物们所面对的威胁。故选C。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“ By now, cities such as Singapore and Hong Kong are so brightly lit that their inhabitants scarcely call on night vision at all, and, as their rhodopsin becomes unnecessary, they may well create people in later generations who, in even middling darkness, are as blind as bats.”（到目前为止，像新加坡和香港这样的城市灯火通明，居民几乎不需要夜视能力，而且，随着视紫红质变得不必要，他们很可能在后代中创造出即使在中等黑暗中也像蝙蝠一样失明的人。）可知，随着人造光的广泛应用，人类的后代将会变得和蝙蝠一样，即使在中等黑暗中也一样看不见。说明人造光的影响是让人震惊的。故选B。
D
One of the oldest metaphors (隐喻) for human interaction with technology is the relationship of master and slave. Aristotle imagined that technology could replace slavery if machine became automated. Marx and Engels saw things differently. “Masses of laborers are daily and hourly enslaved by the machine,” they wrote in the Communist Manifesto.
Today, computers often play both roles. Nicholas Carr, in his new book The Glass Cage: Automation and Us, takes a stand on whether such technology imprisons or liberates its users. We are increasingly engaged, he argues, but the invisibility of our high-tech traps gives us the ‘image of freedom’. He describes doctors who rely so much on decision-assistance software that they overlook signals that are not obvious from patients.
All of this has obvious implications for the use of technology in classrooms: When do technologies free students to think about more interesting and complex questions, and when do they destroy the very cognitive (认知) capacities that they are meant to improve? The effect of spell check and AutoCorrect software is an example. Psychologists have found the act of forming a word in your mind strengthens your capacity to remember it. When a computer automatically corrects a spelling mistake, we’re no longer forced to form the correct spelling in our minds.
This might not seem very important. The process of word formation is not just supplementing spelling skills, it’s also destroying students. When students find themselves without automated spelling assistance, they don’t face the prospect of freezing to death, as the Inuits did when their GPS malfunctioned, but they’re more likely to make errors. This creates a vicious cycle: The more we use the technology, the more we need to use it in all circumstances. Suddenly, our position as masters of technology starts to seem more insecure.
32．What did Marx and Engels think of the machine?
A．It did the boring daily work for people.
B．It failed to free people from being enslaved.
C．It gave people more time to enjoy themselves.
D．It was the result of the development of technology.
33．Which of the following is Nicholas Carr most likely to agree with?
A．Technology is a guarantee of freedom.
B．Doctors should stay away from technology.
C．Too much involvement with technology may be risky.

【答案】32．B 33．C 34．A 35．A

【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了人类与科技之间的关系，究竟科技是被人很好的利用，还是人已经成为了科技的奴隶。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段的“Aristotle imagined that technology could replace slavery if machine became automated.  Marx and Engels saw things differently.  “Masses of laborers are daily and hourly enslaved by the machine,” they wrote in the Communist Manifesto.”（亚里士多德设想，如果机器变得自动化，技术可以取代奴隶制。马克思和恩格斯的看法不同。他们在《共产党宣言》中写道：“大批工人每天每时都在被机器奴役。”）可知，亚里士多德认为技术可以消除奴隶制，但马克思和恩格斯持相反的观点，认为人成为了机器的奴隶，即某种程度上来讲并没有真正地从“奴隶”中解放出来。故选B。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段的“We are increasingly engaged, he argues, but the invisibility of our high-tech traps gives us the ‘image of freedom’.  He describes doctors who rely so much on decision-assistance software that they overlook signals that are not obvious from patients.”（他认为，我们的参与度越来越高，但高科技陷阱的不可见性给了我们“自由的形象”。他描述了那些过于依赖决策辅助软件的医生，他们忽视了病人身上不明显的信号）可知，Nicholas Carr认为，过度依赖科技对工作的辅助，可能会使得进行工作的人忽视真正应该关注的要点。由此推知，他可能会同意“过多地参与技术可能会有风险”这一观点。故选C。
34．词义猜测题。根据第三段的“When a computer automatically corrects a spelling mistake, we’re no longer forced to form the correct spelling in our minds.”（当计算机自动纠正拼写错误时，我们不再被迫在脑海中形成正确的拼写）和第四段的“This might not seem very important. The process of word formation is not just supplementing spelling skills, it’s also destroying students.(这似乎不是很重要。单词的形成过程不仅是对拼写技能的补充，也会毁了学生)”可知，第四段中的this指代的是学生无法正确地拼写单词的情况。即学生无法正确拼写单词似乎不是很重要，但单词的形成过程是对拼写的补充，如果没有这个过程，对学生是一种极大的伤害。故选A。
35．主旨大意题。第一段提到本文认为的观点“One of the oldest metaphors (隐喻) for human interaction with technology is the relationship of master and slave.”（人类与技术互动的最古老的隐喻之一是主从关系）即技术应该为人所用，而不是取代人的地位。第二段提到Nicholas Carr的观点：依赖技术反而会忽略一些更重要的事情。第三、四段提到了技术在课堂上的使用会影响学生的认知能力，并且会让学生更容易出错，从而可能会形成一种恶性循环：出的错越多，我们使用的技术就越多，使用的技术越多就越需要在各种不同的情况下使用它，可能会让人失去一些思考的能力，使人变笨了，很有可能有一天人的地位会被技术所取代。A项“Is technology making people stupid or not?”（科技是否会让人变笨?）该项符合文意。故选A。

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。
People say water can improve health and memory. But now some experts say that to think drinking water equals health is taking things too far and that hydration(水合作用）is about the balance between electrolytes(电解质)like sodium and the water in your body.
Then. how much water do you need to drink? Many say you should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Not so, some experts say. ___36___ A 200-pound person who hikes 10 miles in the heat needs more water than a 120-pound office manager in a temperature-controlled building.
___37___ Someone with a heart condition or kidney stones has one level of need. A person taking diuretic drugs(利尿药）may need a different amount of water.You may need to change the amount you are drinking if you lave been ill with vomiting or diarrhea.
Water is a better choice than sugary sodas or fruit juices.___38___One popular idea is that caffeine or alcohol will make your body lose much water. But one study showed the effect is not significant.You also get water from what you eat. Fruits, vegetables, and soups all add to the intake of water. Your body will tell you if you are hydrated enough. You don't have to think about it or add up the ounces you drink.___39___
Electrolytes are essential minerals. ___40___ Some sports drinks ads say you need to add electrolytes to stay healthy. But some experts say that your body produces electrolytes. You may need more water if you exercise a lot during the heat of the day. Otherwise, most people get enough electrolytes from food.
A．Just drink then you are thirsty.
B．They are vital to many functions in the body
C．It gives you more energy and makes you look good.
D．Instead, your body and the activities you attend matter.
E．It is also necessary to set a timetable about when to drink water.
F．The amount of water you need in a day also depends on your health.
G．But when it comes to hydration, any drink can add water to your system.

【答案】36．D 37．F 38．G 39．A 40．B

【分析】本文为议论文，首先提出两个关于水的不同观点：饮水能改善健康状况与记忆；饮水并不等同于健康，水合作用是体内电解质与水的平衡。然后从四方面对后者展开论证。
36．根据空前“how much water do you need to drink?”引出本段话题：你需要喝多少水。然后提出许多人对此的看法，并被专家否定了。后面对比不同人的需水量，说明了体重及其进行的活动不同，需水量不同，故选D项。
37．从空后“heart condition”“ kidney stones”(肾结石)“ A person taking diuretic drugs(利尿药)”“ vomiting or diarrhea”(呕吐或腹泻)可看出，该段主要在说需水量与个人身体健康状况有关，此空为该段的主旨句，故选F项。
38．根据空后“You also get water from what you eat.”该句表明人们可以从吃的事物中获取水，其中“also”，说明前面已经提出了一个人体中水的来源，G项“any drink can add water to your system.”符合要求，且与第一句“Water is a better choice than sugary sodas or fruit juices.”连贯，“any drink”与“sugary sodas or fruit juices”对应，故选G项。
39．根据空前“Your body will tell you if you are hydrated enough.”(你的身体会告诉你体内的水是否充足。)“You don't have to think about it or add up the ounces you drink.”(你不必思考这个问题也不必增加喝水量。)你口渴的时候就是身体在给你信号，所以你在这个时候喝水就可以了，不必专门去考虑体内的水是否充足，A项符合，故选A项。
40．根据空后“add electrolytes to stay healthy”表明电解质有利健康，说明电解质在人体内有重要作用，B项符合，“They”对应“Electrolytes”，“vital”对应“essential”，故选B项。

第二节 读后续写 （满分25分）
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。
My wife and I never had a green thumb when it came to keeping plants alive far more than a few weeks. So, when I was diagnosed with cancer we didn’t even think about adding a plant to our small apartment. But one day, my friend stopped by and gave us a beautiful plant as a gift, insisting that it would bring life to our home and a sense of calmness during this difficult time.
Surprisingly, the plant took off and grew beautifully, and it brought a sense of joy to our home that we desperately needed. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment at a time when I sometimes felt useless.
I am a physician, and taking care of the plant made me feel like a caregiver once again. It was nice to be able to nurture something and watch it grow. Since my diagnosis in August 2018， far too often, it seemed, I had to rely on help from other people. The enormous change left me feeling aimless and unsettled. Watering the plant, as small an act as it was，connected me to a core part of my old identity. Plants and people could still depend on me.
For the next few months, I was recovering from surgery and receiving radiation. Despite my ongoing treatments, we found some peace through tending to the plant. The simple act of watering and watching it grow gave us something to focus 4 outside of my health. It became a small but meaningful part of our lives.
Then, mysteriously, it began to show signs of losing liveliness.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I became less anxious, I began to search online for how to care for my plant.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then, mysteriously, it began to show signs of losing liveliness. I increased my plant watering, and then decreased it. Still, the leaves kept browning and dropping to the floor. I grew more and more frustrated and uneasy. The thought that I couldn’t even care for a simple plant started to haunt me like a shadow. For the past few months, a bond had been built between me and the plant. I couldn’t shake the feeling that if the plant died, I might too. Having seen through my heart and sensed my fear, my wife comforted me, “Honey, your treatment is working well and maybe the plant just needs its.” Her words did make sense and settled my nerves.
As I became less anxious, I began to search online for how to care for my plant. Following the instructions, I transplanted the tree to a larger pot, giving its roots more room to grow and buried some solid plant nutrient under the top layer of the earth. Soon, we both began to thrive again. Whenever I look at the tree with its shinny and lush leaves in its new pot, I make it a point to appreciate my wife and the other people who have cared for and supported me. If the plant outlives me, I hope it will inspire my wife to live her life to the fullest.
