阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Whether you’re travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you’re likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it’s also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay?
Where to stay
The Khao San Road was a famous traveller spot even before Leonardo di Caprio’s character in the film The Beach stayed there. But it’s noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alterative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where everyday Bangkok people eat, work and live. It’s not as convenient for the main tourist sites, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.
How to get around
Bangkok’s traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi-if you want to spend hours stuck in traffic jams-but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and historical sites, catch an express boat river taxi or a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya river and the canals. For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit.
Where to eat
The simple answer is: everywhere! Thai street food is among the best in the world, and for around $5 you can eat a filling and delicious meal. Some food stands have little plastic seats where you can sit and eat and they cook the same dish over and over, like fried chicken on rice or Pad Thai noodles.
What to do
After you’ve seen the main sites like the Giant Buddha at the temple of Wat Pho and the spectacular Grand Palace, and shopped at Chatuchak market, check out the snake farm and watch the live snake show. You can even touch a snake yourself if you want to!
1. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Many famous films were shot on the Khao San Road.
B There are fantastic street markets on the Khao San Road.
C. Tourists can experience local people’s life in Phra Kanong.
D. It’s convenient to get to the main tourist sites from Phra Kanong.
2. If you want to explore the modern part of Bangkok, which transport is the best choice?
A. The taxi. B. The skytrain. C. The longtail boat. D. The express boat river taxi.
3. Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A. A textbook. B. A book review. C. A research report. D. A travel guide
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要就在泰国首都曼谷旅游时提供了一些好的建议，包括住宿、饮食和出行等等。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where everyday Bangkok people eat, work and live.(想要更正宗的东西，Phra Kanong提供了另一个住宿的地方，那里有美妙的街头市场，曼谷人每天都在这里吃饭、工作和生活。)”可知，如果游客想体验当地人的生活，可以去Phra Kanong。故选C。
【2题详解】

【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Whether you’re travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you’re likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it’s also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay?(无论你是去泰国的岛屿还是山区旅行，你都可能在途中在首都度过至少一个晚上。曼谷可能是一个嘈杂和污染严重的城市，但它也是一个令人兴奋的城市，有很多东西可以看，可以做。为什么不多住些时间呢？)”以及下文的“where to stay(住在哪里)”、“How to get around(如何出行)”、“Where to eat(去哪里吃饭)”和“What to do(做什么)”可知，本文是一篇曼谷旅游指南。故选D。
B
I grew up in a poor household and fought my way from bars in South Africa into offices here in Canada. My parents were teachers with modest salaries, but we could hardly make ends meet because of my dad’s addiction to alcohol. My mom tried her best to love us and keep us fed.
At about 4 years old, I saw a smiling piggy bank at a flea market, which was sitting on a table among all kinds of second-band goods. Child as I was, somehow I had the thought that it was going to make things better and that’s why I had to have it. Then for two years, I saved everything from my birthday money from my granny to leftover coins at the bar.
However, we smashed the piggy bank in the middle of a winter when our electricity had just been cut off again and the cupboard didn’t have any food left. My mom didn’t tell me to do it, but I volunteered. Even at roughly 6 years old, I had a strong sense of duty toward my family. It had enough money to put gas in the car and buy groceries, plus some candles for light.
It changed my life because it changed my attitude towards life. I suddenly believed my situation was temporary and that I was able to face any challenge and make my life better.
As an adult, I had a long-term dream of leaving South Africa. So in spring 2020, I packed up everything I could and moved to Canada. I worked my way up to be a senior salesman here, applying the skills of frugality(节俭)and persistence that my piggy taught me. I am proud to say that I am fighting for what I love and looking forward to whatever is next.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从小的经历，作者从小就极具家庭责任感，也靠着作者的节俭和坚持不懈，他终于成为了一名高级推销员。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“My parents were teachers with modest salaries, but we could hardly make ends meet because of my dad’s addiction to alcohol.(我的父母是教师，薪水不高，但由于父亲嗜酒成瘾，我们几乎无法维持生计。)”可知，作者一家生活贫困，几乎无法维持生计。故选C。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文“Even at roughly 6 years old, I had a strong sense of duty toward my family. It had enough money to put gas in the car and buy groceries, plus some candles for light.(甚至在大约6岁的时候，我就对我的家庭有强烈的责任感。它有足够的钱给汽车加油，买杂货，再加上一些照明的蜡烛。)”可知，储蓄罐里的钱使家里的生活暂时维持了下去，所以划线单词的意思和“打碎、取出”有关。选项A“sold (卖)”；选项B“broke (打破)”；选项C“bought (买)”；选项D“hid (藏)”。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Even at roughly 6 years old, I had a strong sense of duty toward my family. (甚至在大约6岁的时候，我就对我的家庭有强烈的责任感。)”可知，作者是个有责任感的人；再根据最后一段“As an adult, I had a long-term dream of leaving South Africa. So in spring 2020, I packed up everything I could and moved to Canada. I worked my way up to be a senior salesman here, applying the skills of frugality(节俭)and persistence that my piggy taught me. (成年后，我一直梦想着离开南非。所以在2020年春天，我收拾好一切，搬到了加拿大。我靠着我的储蓄罐教会我的节俭和坚持不懈的技巧，一步步成为了这里的一名高级推销员。)”可知，作者是一个独立的人。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，作者小时候家庭很贫困，后来作者买了一个储蓄罐，并且坚持存钱，终于在家里非常拮据的时候，砸了储蓄罐，维持了生计。作者也明白了节约和坚持的重要性，并且拥有了成功的事业。所以，文章讲述了储蓄罐给作者带来的生活的变化。所以“Friendship with My Piggy Bank(与我的储蓄罐的友谊)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。
C
If you have access to the sea or a coastline, you can help researchers monitor the world’s oceans during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond.
More than 1, 000 people have already joined the eOceans platform, which aims to help researchers gather data on oceans and ocean ecosystems in real-time. You can take part by downioading the eOceans app on your smartphone and logging. The app lets you note your observations as well as upload photos. This information is then linked to your geographical location and is made accessible to scientists studying that region.
Covid-19 restrictions on travel in many countries have made it more difficult for researchers to access and study coastlines, says Christine Ward-Paige, founder and lead scientist at eOceans. “Wben Covid-19 hit and the world went into varying levels of lockdown, we could understand what was happening in the atmosphere or on land,” says Ward-Paige. “But we had no idea what was happening in the ocean.”
Using eOceans data, researchers such as Ward-Paige can remotely monitor how oceans and coastal communities worldwide are faring, including in the context of the pandemic. She and others hope to obtain more data on wildlife spotted along coastlines.
Observations recorded through eOceans are already providing valuable insights. During Australia’s lockdown, for example, the largest swarm of turtles in the country’s history was spotted by researchers using eOceans data.
And in Hawaii, data from the app suggests that a reduction in tourists during the pandemic is associated with clearer waters.
Negative impacts of the pandemic on the ocean have also been picked up through the app, including an increase in pollution from personal protective equipment, as well as pandemic-related interruptions to the recovery of marine systems following a 2019 oil spill in Brazil’s waters. In future, data from eOceans could help enable early discovery of hazards (危害), such as oil spills, so that they can be dealt with sooner, says Ward-Paige.
She hopes this real-time monitoring will help accelerate discoveries, enabling researchers to keep pace with the rapid changes in the world’s oceans.
8. What do you need to help monitor the world’s oceans?
①access to a coastline ②your personal information
③a digital camera for taking photos ④a smartphone with the eOceans app downloaded
A. ①③ B. ①④ C. ②③ D. ②④
9. Why was eOceans established?
A. To strengthen the Covid-19 restrictions on travel.
B. To offer an easier and quicker way to contact ocean researchers.
C. To enable the public to monitor the progress of ocean protections.
D. To help researchers get real-time data on oceans during the Covid-19 epidemic.
10. Examples of Australia and Hawaii are quoted to show ________.
A. negative impacts of the pandemic on the wildlife
B. the influence of human activities on the environment
C. the effective use of eOceans data during the pandemic
D the measures taken by different countries to protect the ocean
11. What is Ward-Paige’s attitude to the future of eOceans platform?
A. Optimistic. B. Worried. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个名叫eOceans的APP，介绍了这个平台的起源、作用和意义等。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“If you have access to the sea or a coastline, you can help researchers monitor the world’s oceans during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond. (如果您可以进入海洋或海岸线，您可以帮助研究人员在Covid-19疫情期间及以后监测世界海洋。)”可知，首先是你可以进入海洋或海岸线；再根据文章第二段“You can take part by downloading the eOceans app on your smartphone and logging. The app lets you note your observations as well as upload photos. This information is then linked to your geographical location and is made accessible to scientists studying that region. (你可以通过在智能手机上下载eOceans应用程序并登录来参加。这款应用可以让你记录观察结果，也可以上传照片。然后，这些信息与你的地理位置联系起来，供研究该地区的科学家使用。)”可知，你参加这一活动还需要一部智能手机，并且需要下载eOceans应用程序。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段““When Covid-19 hit and the world went into varying levels of lockdown, we could understand what was happening in the atmosphere or on land,” says Ward-Paige. “But we had no idea what was happening in the ocean.” (Ward-Paige说：“当Covid-19袭来，世界进入不同程度的封锁时，我们可以了解大气或陆地上发生的事情。但我们不知道海洋里发生了什么。”)”和第四段“Using eOceans data, researchers such as Ward-Paige can remotely monitor how oceans and coastal communities worldwide are faring, including in the context of the pandemic. (利用eOceans数据，Ward-Paige等研究人员可以远程监测全球海洋和沿海社区的情况，包括在疫情背景下的情况。)”可知，最初他们创建eOceans应用程序是为了帮助研究人员在Covid-19流行期间获得海洋的实时数据。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据澳大利亚例子“During Australia’s lockdown, for example, the largest swarm of turtles in the country’s history was spotted by researchers using eOceans data. (例如，在澳大利亚封锁期间，研究人员使用eOceans数据发现了该国历史上最大的海龟群。)”以及夏威夷的例子“And in Hawaii, data from the app suggests that a reduction in tourists during the pandemic is associated with clearer waters. (在夏威夷，该应用程序的数据显示，疫情期间游客的减少与更清澈的海水有关。)”可知，这两个例子都是为了说明作者的观点，也就是文章第五段首句“Observations recorded through eOceans are already providing valuable insights. (通过eOceans记录的观测结果已经提供了有价值的见解。)”。也就是说，作者举澳大利亚的例子和夏威夷的例子是为了告诉我们在疫情期间eOceans平台提供了有效的数据。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“In future, data from eOceans could help enable early discovery of hazards (危害), such as oil spills, so that they can be dealt with sooner, says Ward-Paige. (Ward-Paige说，未来，来自eOceans的数据可以帮助早期发现危害(如石油泄漏)，以便更快地进行处理。)”以及最后一段“She hopes this real-time monitoring will help accelerate discoveries, enabling researchers to keep pace with the rapid changes in the world’s oceans. (她希望这种实时监测将有助于加速发现，使研究人员能够跟上世界海洋的快速变化。)”可知，Ward-Paige对于该APP未来的使用还是抱有积极的态度的。故选A。
D
Mutant(突变的) strains of a common flu virus which occurs only in humans before have been found in dogs for the first time, prompting concerns that such virus could start to spread easily among pets—and potentially evolve into dangerous new strains that transmit among its primary hosts. Nanjing Agricultural University virologist Shuo Su and his colleagues identified two dogs in southern China with different mutant strains of the influenza C virus, which infects almost all humans—mostly as children—and usually causes mild illness.
The researchers genetically sequenced these strains and found that mutations affected their structure near the part that attaches to a host’s cells. These changes mean “it might be on the way to reproduce better in dogs,” says a biochemist Michael Veit. People sometimes pass flu viruses to a pet dog, where the infection typically stops. But the newly found strains’ particular mutations suggest that the result differs from what it seems to be, he adds.
Although most adults have already been exposed to influenza C, the researchers say we might have little immunity against a new strain that jumps back to humans after mutating in animals. For a letter published in the Journal of Infection, the scientists state it shows that viruses should be tracked more thoroughly in dogs and other pets through regular testing and sequencing. Cornell University animal virologist Colin Parrish, says he would “certainly advocate” for that. “We have sort of ignored dogs and cats as potential hosts,” he says, “but my research group routinely surveys dogs for new respiratory(呼吸的)viruses”.
It is too early to say whether dog-borne influenza C will become a problem. More studies are needed to confirm the virus is spreading among these animals and, if so, how easily. But the researchers say it and other viruses should be monitored carefully to stop any disease strains from emerging. A good place to start would be Kennels and similar places where viruses can easily spread and evolve. “If you are farming animals at high density,” says University of Nottingham virologist Janet Daly, “that’s where you need to look.”
12. What worries people in recent days?
A. The virus spreads among pets. B. The virus jumps back to humans.
C. The virus results in serious disease. D. The virus transmits from humans to pets.
13. What is the finding of the research in the second paragraph?
A. Host’s cells will be affected by the virus.
B. Dogs prevent the virus from reproducing itself.
C. They are more likely to transmit from dogs to dogs.
D. The flu virus disappears after people pass it to pets.
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Viruses tend to spread and evolve among dense groupings of animals.
B. The virus won’t emerge as long as it is often monitored by researchers.
C. The influenza C is a big problem to both animals and human beings.
D. It is easy to stop viruses from spreading among animals in a good place.
15. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Mutant strains of a virus are identified in dogs.
B. Mutant strains of a virus are detected in an experiment.
C. Mutant strains of a virus are more common at high density.
D. Mutant strains of a virus reproducing in dogs may threaten humans.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】

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。
The Sunday scaries refer to an over-whelming feeling of fear and anxiety about going to work or school the next day. ____16____ But even though the Sunday scaries are common, they are manageable. Here’s how experts say you can ease your end-of-weekend anxiety.
Structure your Sunday.
Structure can be a best friend when feeling the Sunday scaries. Instead of sitting on the couch and watching the clock, go to do something that you enjoy. You might still get a sense of fear. ____17____ Thus, you should anticipate the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and address items from a to-do list that get neglected during the workweek.
Don’t forget to relax.
When structuring your Sunday, try not to stuff in large quantities of business and chores. ____18____ Whatever feels like a helpful distraction to revive yourself can be adopted, maybe a body meditation, maybe a midafternoon bath, maybe an engaging show.
____19____
Anxiety is a normal human experience, and one of the main ways to manage it is to find out your personal triggers. So you need to pinpoint what’s really causing you to fear the week—Is it a deadline? meeting? Or presentation? Also, it is necessary to create multiple to-do lists, which can help put into perspective what’s important and what you can let go of for now. By doing all of these, you can decrease the anticipation of the stress and fear of the upcoming week.
Create some excitement for the week ahead.
Getting rid of the Sunday scaries isn’t just about minimizing the doom and gloom of the week ahead, either.
Having something to look forward to gives you something to think about what’s pleasing, rather than just noticing the fear you feel. It’s a form of reframing your thoughts: Instead of focusing on the awful things you expect from the week, build excitement over a coffee or lunch date with a friend you’ve been meaning to catch up with. ____20____ .
A. Reduce your sense of anxiety.
B. Identify your anxiety sources.
C. It is vital to make space for activities to relieve yourself.
D. It is being experienced physically and mentally by most people.
E. This can help decrease the feeling of stress and fear of the week
F. This gives you the opportunity to shift your mindset and will improve your mood.
G. But that feeling is harder to hold on to when you are really engaged in something that make you feel good.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. C 19. B 20. E

So you need to pinpoint what’s really causing you to fear the week—Is it a deadline? meeting? Or presentation? Also, it is necessary to create multiple to-do lists, which can help put into perspective what’s important and what you can let go of for now. By doing all of these, you can decrease the anticipation of the stress and fear of the upcoming week. (焦虑是一种正常的人类经历，管理它的主要方法之一是找到你个人的触发因素。所以你需要找出真正让你害怕这一周的原因——是最后期限吗？会议？还是演讲？此外，有必要创建多个待办事项清单，这可以帮助你了解哪些是重要的，哪些是你现在可以放弃的。通过做所有这些，你可以减少对即将到来的一周的压力和恐惧。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是如果想减少周日焦虑，我们首先要确定焦虑的来源。选项B“Identify your anxiety sources. (确定焦虑的来源。)”符合本段大意，指的是确定焦虑源头。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据空前内容“Having something to look forward to gives you something to think about what’s pleasing, rather than just noticing the fear you feel. It’s a form of reframing your thoughts: Instead of focusing on the awful things you expect from the week, build excitement over a coffee or lunch date with a friend you’ve been meaning to catch up with. (有了一些期待，你就会有一些东西去思考什么是令人愉快的，而不是仅仅注意到你所感受到的恐惧。这是一种重塑思维的方式：不要把注意力集中在一周中你期待的糟糕事情上，而是和你一直想见的朋友喝杯咖啡或共进午餐，让自己兴奋起来。)”可知，上文主要介绍的是把自己一周的期待放在美好的事情上，而不是糟糕的事情上。选项E“This can help decrease the feeling of stress and fear of the week (这可以帮助减少压力和恐惧的感觉)”是上文内容的延续，指的是如果你期待的是未来一周美好的事情，而不是糟糕的事情，那么你就不会那么焦虑。故选E。

【39题详解】

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。
Robin, an outgoing but thin boy, is so keen on archery(射箭)that he will practice in woods every weekend.
Having strived for the higher standards, he is skilled in archery.
One morning, Robin arose early and stood near a window, looking at a forest in the distance. Misty clouds were rising from the forest, and sunlight through them was shining on the trees. The bushes and maple trees were becoming red, gold and orange, confirming that autumn had already arrived. It was a fine autumn day, clear and mild. He could see birds leaping from branch to branch, and it seemed that he could hear them lively singing. Robin was cheerful and decided to go out to practice his archery and have a picnic in the forest. He told his mother his plan and prepared for his little trip. A few minutes later, it was time for Robin to set off. He picked up his quiver(箭袋)of arrows, and his mother gave him a picnic wrapped in a cloth. “There’s a freshly roasted chicken,” she told him. “And a big pie for dessert. Enjoy your time practicing archery!”
Robin left his cottage and hiked down the path towards the forest. On the way to the forest, he passed a big apple tree. Apples in the tree were ripe and looked so big and bright red that he wanted to have a taste. Then, Robin took aim at an apple and shot it down with ease. “Yummy!” Eating the sweet apple, he continued to move forward and made up his mind to practise more.
When he entered the woods, two shabby kids jumped out suddenly and held him up. Robin stopped, slightly looking up at them: one is taller, the other one is stronger! “What’s in that bag, skinny monkey?” asked the taller boy, who wore a red tunic (短袍). The stronger boy had blond hair that hadn’t been cut or combed for a long time, glaring at Robin, “Is it food? Give us your lunch-or there will be trouble!” he threatened. Robin was nervous but quickly calmed down.

Paragraph 2:
As Robin looked at the boys’ disappointed eyes, a good idea occurred to him.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“I will give you all my food if either of you can defeat me in an archery competition! ” Robin replied. The two boys exchanged a quick glance, then nodded in agreement. Robin set up a target in a nearby clearing and handed each of them a bow and arrow. The taller boy went first, but his shot missed the target by a wide margin. The stronger boy fared slightly better, but still fell short of the target. It was Robin’s turn now. He took aim with precision and let the arrow fly. It hit the bullseye with a satisfying thump. The boys were impressed but still hungry.
As Robin looked at the boys’ disappointed eyes, a good idea occurred to him. “I’ll tell you what,” he said. “I’ll teach you both how to shoot properly, and we can share the food together.” The boys hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Robin spent the afternoon showing them the proper stance and technique. They all shot arrows into the target and had a great time. As the sun began to set, they sat down together and shared the picnic that Robin’s mother had prepared. They talked and laughed, and the boys told Robin about their difficult lives. By the end of the day, they had become good friends.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Robin的故事，Robin精通射箭，一心想要追求更高的标准。一天，他带着准备好的食物去森林里练习射箭，路上遇到两个孩子抢他的食物。后来Robin通过自己的方法保全了自己的食物。

②由第二段首句内容“当Robin看着男孩们失望的眼睛时，他想到了一个好主意。”可知，第二段可描写Robin不舍得两个男孩如此失望，决定和这两个男孩一起分享。

第二部分 阅读(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A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Whether you’re travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you’re likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it’s also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay?
Where to stay
The Khao San Road was a famous traveller spot even before Leonardo di Caprio’s character in the film The Beach stayed there. But it’s noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alterative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where everyday Bangkok people eat, work and live. It’s not as convenient for the main tourist sites, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.
How to get around
Bangkok’s traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi-if you want to spend hours stuck in traffic jams-but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and historical sites, catch an express boat river taxi or a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya river and the canals. For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit.
Where to eat
The simple answer is: everywhere! Thai street food is among the best in the world, and for around $5 you can eat a filling and delicious meal. Some food stands have little plastic seats where you can sit and eat and they cook the same dish over and over, like fried chicken on rice or Pad Thai noodles.
What to do
After you’ve seen the main sites like the Giant Buddha at the temple of Wat Pho and the spectacular Grand Palace, and shopped at Chatuchak market, check out the snake farm and watch the live snake show. You can even touch a snake yourself if you want to!
1. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Many famous films were shot on the Khao San Road.
B There are fantastic street markets on the Khao San Road.
C. Tourists can experience local people’s life in Phra Kanong.
D. It’s convenient to get to the main tourist sites from Phra Kanong.
2. If you want to explore the modern part of Bangkok, which transport is the best choice?
A. The taxi. B. The skytrain. C. The longtail boat. D. The express boat river taxi.
3. Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A. A textbook. B. A book review. C. A research report. D. A travel guide
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D

I grew up in a poor household and fought my way from bars in South Africa into offices here in Canada. My parents were teachers with modest salaries, but we could hardly make ends meet because of my dad’s addiction to alcohol. My mom tried her best to love us and keep us fed.
At about 4 years old, I saw a smiling piggy bank at a flea market, which was sitting on a table among all kinds of second-band goods. Child as I was, somehow I had the thought that it was going to make things better and that’s why I had to have it. Then for two years, I saved everything from my birthday money from my granny to leftover coins at the bar.
However, we smashed the piggy bank in the middle of a winter when our electricity had just been cut off again and the cupboard didn’t have any food left. My mom didn’t tell me to do it, but I volunteered. Even at roughly 6 years old, I had a strong sense of duty toward my family. It had enough money to put gas in the car and buy groceries, plus some candles for light.
It changed my life because it changed my attitude towards life. I suddenly believed my situation was temporary and that I was able to face any challenge and make my life better.
As an adult, I had a long-term dream of leaving South Africa. So in spring 2020, I packed up everything I could and moved to Canada. I worked my way up to be a senior salesman here, applying the skills of frugality(节俭)and persistence that my piggy taught me. I am proud to say that I am fighting for what I love and looking forward to whatever is next.

If you have access to the sea or a coastline, you can help researchers monitor the world’s oceans during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond.
More than 1, 000 people have already joined the eOceans platform, which aims to help researchers gather data on oceans and ocean ecosystems in real-time. You can take part by downioading the eOceans app on your smartphone and logging. The app lets you note your observations as well as upload photos. This information is then linked to your geographical location and is made accessible to scientists studying that region.
Covid-19 restrictions on travel in many countries have made it more difficult for researchers to access and study coastlines, says Christine Ward-Paige, founder and lead scientist at eOceans. “Wben Covid-19 hit and the world went into varying levels of lockdown, we could understand what was happening in the atmosphere or on land,” says Ward-Paige. “But we had no idea what was happening in the ocean.”
Using eOceans data, researchers such as Ward-Paige can remotely monitor how oceans and coastal communities worldwide are faring, including in the context of the pandemic. She and others hope to obtain more data on wildlife spotted along coastlines.
Observations recorded through eOceans are already providing valuable insights. During Australia’s lockdown, for example, the largest swarm of turtles in the country’s history was spotted by researchers using eOceans data.
And in Hawaii, data from the app suggests that a reduction in tourists during the pandemic is associated with clearer waters.
Negative impacts of the pandemic on the ocean have also been picked up through the app, including an increase in pollution from personal protective equipment, as well as pandemic-related interruptions to the recovery of marine systems following a 2019 oil spill in Brazil’s waters. In future, data from eOceans could help enable early discovery of hazards (危害), such as oil spills, so that they can be dealt with sooner, says Ward-Paige.
She hopes this real-time monitoring will help accelerate discoveries, enabling researchers to keep pace with the rapid changes in the world’s oceans.
8. What do you need to help monitor the world’s oceans?
①access to a coastline ②your personal information
③a digital camera for taking photos ④a smartphone with the eOceans app downloaded
A. ①③ B. ①④ C. ②③ D. ②④
9. Why was eOceans established?
A. To strengthen the Covid-19 restrictions on travel.
B. To offer an easier and quicker way to contact ocean researchers.
C. To enable the public to monitor the progress of ocean protections.
D. To help researchers get real-time data on oceans during the Covid-19 epidemic.
10. Examples of Australia and Hawaii are quoted to show ________.
A. negative impacts of the pandemic on the wildlife
B. the influence of human activities on the environment
C. the effective use of eOceans data during the pandemic
D the measures taken by different countries to protect the ocean
11. What is Ward-Paige’s attitude to the future of eOceans platform?
A. Optimistic. B. Worried. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个名叫eOceans的APP，介绍了这个平台的起源、作用和意义等。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“If you have access to the sea or a coastline, you can help researchers monitor the world’s oceans during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond. (如果您可以进入海洋或海岸线，您可以帮助研究人员在Covid-19疫情期间及以后监测世界海洋。)”可知，首先是你可以进入海洋或海岸线；再根据文章第二段“You can take part by downloading the eOceans app on your smartphone and logging. The app lets you note your observations as well as upload photos. This information is then linked to your geographical location and is made accessible to scientists studying that region. (你可以通过在智能手机上下载eOceans应用程序并登录来参加。这款应用可以让你记录观察结果，也可以上传照片。然后，这些信息与你的地理位置联系起来，供研究该地区的科学家使用。)”可知，你参加这一活动还需要一部智能手机，并且需要下载eOceans应用程序。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段““When Covid-19 hit and the world went into varying levels of lockdown, we could understand what was happening in the atmosphere or on land,” says Ward-Paige. “But we had no idea what was happening in the ocean.” (Ward-Paige说：“当Covid-19袭来，世界进入不同程度的封锁时，我们可以了解大气或陆地上发生的事情。但我们不知道海洋里发生了什么。”)”和第四段“Using eOceans data, researchers such as Ward-Paige can remotely monitor how oceans and coastal communities worldwide are faring, including in the context of the pandemic. (利用eOceans数据，Ward-Paige等研究人员可以远程监测全球海洋和沿海社区的情况，包括在疫情背景下的情况。)”可知，最初他们创建eOceans应用程序是为了帮助研究人员在Covid-19流行期间获得海洋的实时数据。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据澳大利亚例子“During Australia’s lockdown, for example, the largest swarm of turtles in the country’s history was spotted by researchers using eOceans data. (例如，在澳大利亚封锁期间，研究人员使用eOceans数据发现了该国历史上最大的海龟群。)”以及夏威夷的例子“And in Hawaii, data from the app suggests that a reduction in tourists during the pandemic is associated with clearer waters. (在夏威夷，该应用程序的数据显示，疫情期间游客的减少与更清澈的海水有关。)”可知，这两个例子都是为了说明作者的观点，也就是文章第五段首句“Observations recorded through eOceans are already providing valuable insights. (通过eOceans记录的观测结果已经提供了有价值的见解。)”。也就是说，作者举澳大利亚的例子和夏威夷的例子是为了告诉我们在疫情期间eOceans平台提供了有效的数据。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“In future, data from eOceans could help enable early discovery of hazards (危害), such as oil spills, so that they can be dealt with sooner, says Ward-Paige. (Ward-Paige说，未来，来自eOceans的数据可以帮助早期发现危害(如石油泄漏)，以便更快地进行处理。)”以及最后一段“She hopes this real-time monitoring will help accelerate discoveries, enabling researchers to keep pace with the rapid changes in the world’s oceans. (她希望这种实时监测将有助于加速发现，使研究人员能够跟上世界海洋的快速变化。)”可知，Ward-Paige对于该APP未来的使用还是抱有积极的态度的。故选A。
D
Mutant(突变的) strains of a common flu virus which occurs only in humans before have been found in dogs for the first time, prompting concerns that such virus could start to spread easily among pets—and potentially evolve into dangerous new strains that transmit among its primary hosts. Nanjing Agricultural University virologist Shuo Su and his colleagues identified two dogs in southern China with different mutant strains of the influenza C virus, which infects almost all humans—mostly as children—and usually causes mild illness.
The researchers genetically sequenced these strains and found that mutations affected their structure near the part that attaches to a host’s cells. These changes mean “it might be on the way to reproduce better in dogs,” says a biochemist Michael Veit. People sometimes pass flu viruses to a pet dog, where the infection typically stops. But the newly found strains’ particular mutations suggest that the result differs from what it seems to be, he adds.
Although most adults have already been exposed to influenza C, the researchers say we might have little immunity against a new strain that jumps back to humans after mutating in animals. For a letter published in the Journal of Infection, the scientists state it shows that viruses should be tracked more thoroughly in dogs and other pets through regular testing and sequencing. Cornell University animal virologist Colin Parrish, says he would “certainly advocate” for that. “We have sort of ignored dogs and cats as potential hosts,” he says, “but my research group routinely surveys dogs for new respiratory(呼吸的)viruses”.
It is too early to say whether dog-borne influenza C will become a problem. More studies are needed to confirm the virus is spreading among these animals and, if so, how easily. But the researchers say it and other viruses should be monitored carefully to stop any disease strains from emerging. A good place to start would be Kennels and similar places where viruses can easily spread and evolve. “If you are farming animals at high density,” says University of Nottingham virologist Janet Daly, “that’s where you need to look.”
12. What worries people in recent days?
A. The virus spreads among pets. B. The virus jumps back to humans.
C. The virus results in serious disease. D. The virus transmits from humans to pets.
13. What is the finding of the research in the second paragraph?
A. Host’s cells will be affected by the virus.
B. Dogs prevent the virus from reproducing itself.
C. They are more likely to transmit from dogs to dogs.
D. The flu virus disappears after people pass it to pets.
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Viruses tend to spread and evolve among dense groupings of animals.
B. The virus won’t emerge as long as it is often monitored by researchers.
C. The influenza C is a big problem to both animals and human beings.
D. It is easy to stop viruses from spreading among animals in a good place.
15. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Mutant strains of a virus are identified in dogs.
B. Mutant strains of a virus are detected in an experiment.
C. Mutant strains of a virus are more common at high density.
D. Mutant strains of a virus reproducing in dogs may threaten humans.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D

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。
The Sunday scaries refer to an over-whelming feeling of fear and anxiety about going to work or school the next day. ____16____ But even though the Sunday scaries are common, they are manageable. Here’s how experts say you can ease your end-of-weekend anxiety.
Structure your Sunday.
Structure can be a best friend when feeling the Sunday scaries. Instead of sitting on the couch and watching the clock, go to do something that you enjoy. You might still get a sense of fear. ____17____ Thus, you should anticipate the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and address items from a to-do list that get neglected during the workweek.
Don’t forget to relax.
When structuring your Sunday, try not to stuff in large quantities of business and chores. ____18____ Whatever feels like a helpful distraction to revive yourself can be adopted, maybe a body meditation, maybe a midafternoon bath, maybe an engaging show.
____19____
Anxiety is a normal human experience, and one of the main ways to manage it is to find out your personal triggers. So you need to pinpoint what’s really causing you to fear the week—Is it a deadline? meeting? Or presentation? Also, it is necessary to create multiple to-do lists, which can help put into perspective what’s important and what you can let go of for now. By doing all of these, you can decrease the anticipation of the stress and fear of the upcoming week.
Create some excitement for the week ahead.
Getting rid of the Sunday scaries isn’t just about minimizing the doom and gloom of the week ahead, either.
Having something to look forward to gives you something to think about what’s pleasing, rather than just noticing the fear you feel. It’s a form of reframing your thoughts: Instead of focusing on the awful things you expect from the week, build excitement over a coffee or lunch date with a friend you’ve been meaning to catch up with. ____20____ .
A. Reduce your sense of anxiety.
B. Identify your anxiety sources.
C. It is vital to make space for activities to relieve yourself.
D. It is being experienced physically and mentally by most people.
E. This can help decrease the feeling of stress and fear of the week
F. This gives you the opportunity to shift your mindset and will improve your mood.
G. But that feeling is harder to hold on to when you are really engaged in something that make you feel good.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. C 19. B 20. E

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了在深圳大芬美术馆举办的乔治·莫兰迪艺术展，为中国的艺术爱好者提供了欣赏这位已故意大利艺术家作品的机会。
【36题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：在深圳大芬美术馆举办的乔治·莫兰迪艺术展，为中国的艺术爱好者提供了欣赏这位已故意大利艺术家作品的机会。根据句意可知，泛指“艺术爱好者们”，所以用名词的复数形式。故填enthusiasts。
【37题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：此次展览共展出了莫兰迪的46件作品，包括油画、素描和版画。固定搭配：on show，意为“在展出中”。故填on。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：到目前为止，由于这位艺术家的大受欢迎，这次展览受到了广泛的关注，吸引了络绎不绝的游客来到画廊。考查本句谓语动词，根据时间状语“so far”可知，时态为现在完成时；主语为“the exhibition”，单数，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填has received。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“莫兰迪色彩”是在设计美学行业中用来描述意大利画家独特风格中带有灰色调的颜色的术语。这里为非谓语动词担当后置定语，和被修饰词“term”之间为被动关系，用过去分词形式。故填used。
【40题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：今天，莫兰迪以其具有强烈个人特色的小型静物画和风景画而闻名。这里为本句谓语动词，根据时间状语“today”可知，本句时态为一般现在时；主语为“Morandi”，单数，和动词“know”之间为被动关系；构成固定搭配：be known for，意为“因……而闻名”。故填is known。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：他擅长将个性的克制专业地融入到他的静物画中，擅长将窗外看似平凡的风景捕捉在画布上，让人在观看他的作品时体会到永恒。修饰动词短语“put the restraint of his personality into his still life paintings”用副词形式。故填professionally。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他擅长将个性的克制专业地融入到他的静物画中，擅长将窗外看似平凡的风景捕捉在画布上，让人在观看他的作品时体会到永恒。这里为非谓语动词担当结果状语，表示主句所带来的可预料的结果，用现在分词形式。故填allowing。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：大芬油画村的项目总监吴玉航说，参观者也在体验意大利艺术和中国哲学之间的对话。这里为定语从句的关系词，先行词为“Wu Yuhang”，表示人，在非限制性定语从句中担当主语，用关系代词who引导。故填who。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：莫兰迪被认为是一位具有东方精神的西方画家。修饰可数名词单数，表示泛指，用不定冠词。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：两种文化传统的碰撞将激发不同的创造性思维，为促进中意两国的文化交流和相互理解提供了机会。根据空后的名词短语“creative thinking”可判断，空处为形容词形式。故填different。

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。
Robin, an outgoing but thin boy, is so keen on archery(射箭)that he will practice in woods every weekend.
Having strived for the higher standards, he is skilled in archery.
One morning, Robin arose early and stood near a window, looking at a forest in the distance. Misty clouds were rising from the forest, and sunlight through them was shining on the trees. The bushes and maple trees were becoming red, gold and orange, confirming that autumn had already arrived. It was a fine autumn day, clear and mild. He could see birds leaping from branch to branch, and it seemed that he could hear them lively singing. Robin was cheerful and decided to go out to practice his archery and have a picnic in the forest. He told his mother his plan and prepared for his little trip. A few minutes later, it was time for Robin to set off. He picked up his quiver(箭袋)of arrows, and his mother gave him a picnic wrapped in a cloth. “There’s a freshly roasted chicken,” she told him. “And a big pie for dessert. Enjoy your time practicing archery!”
Robin left his cottage and hiked down the path towards the forest. On the way to the forest, he passed a big apple tree. Apples in the tree were ripe and looked so big and bright red that he wanted to have a taste. Then, Robin took aim at an apple and shot it down with ease. “Yummy!” Eating the sweet apple, he continued to move forward and made up his mind to practise more.
When he entered the woods, two shabby kids jumped out suddenly and held him up. Robin stopped, slightly looking up at them: one is taller, the other one is stronger! “What’s in that bag, skinny monkey?” asked the taller boy, who wore a red tunic (短袍). The stronger boy had blond hair that hadn’t been cut or combed for a long time, glaring at Robin, “Is it food? Give us your lunch-or there will be trouble!” he threatened. Robin was nervous but quickly calmed down.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“I will give you all my food if either of you can defeat me in an archery competition! ” Robin replied. The two boys exchanged a quick glance, then nodded in agreement. Robin set up a target in a nearby clearing and handed each of them a bow and arrow. The taller boy went first, but his shot missed the target by a wide margin. The stronger boy fared slightly better, but still fell short of the target. It was Robin’s turn now. He took aim with precision and let the arrow fly. It hit the bullseye with a satisfying thump. The boys were impressed but still hungry.
As Robin looked at the boys’ disappointed eyes, a good idea occurred to him. “I’ll tell you what,” he said. “I’ll teach you both how to shoot properly, and we can share the food together.” The boys hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Robin spent the afternoon showing them the proper stance and technique. They all shot arrows into the target and had a great time. As the sun began to set, they sat down together and shared the picnic that Robin’s mother had prepared. They talked and laughed, and the boys told Robin about their difficult lives. By the end of the day, they had become good friends.
【解析】
