Sandi Patty has been a name synonymous (同义的) with Gospel music because of her singing ability since she released her first album in 1979.
Patty’s newest book. The Voice, takes a deep dive into parts of her life she’s kept private for years. Surprisingly, The Voice is not primarily concerned with Patty’s singing voice. Patty was always a talented singer. However, she struggled to find her inner voice and speak up for herself. “I was a shy kid. Words were hard for me,” Patty said.
One of the reasons why Patty found it so difficult to use her voice was a traumatic childhood experience. At age six, she was abused by a friend, an experience she opened up for the first time in the book.
She is sharing the story of her experience now, hoping it will help other people feel less alone. “Feeling alone keeps everybody silent about the tough times in our lives, so we think we’re the only ones,” Patty said. She wrote in The Voice that she felt like it was her job to make everyone feel better.
Friendships were essential for helping Patty find the courage to speak up. They reminded her that she didn’t need to make others feel better because the people she loved didn’t doubt she cared for them.
Friends and family were crucial for helping Patty confront another struggle she faced—shame. She felt unpleasant for insecurities about her weight and her divorce. “I’ve heard it explain that guilt tells us we have done something wrong and shame says we are wrong,” Patty said.
“I want people to know that their stories and their voices matter,” Patty said. “We have to figure out a way to take our pain away and put it where it needs to be, without letting it guide our lives. Pain is a part of our story. It describes us, but it doesn’t need to define us.”
4. What does Patty’s newest book focus on?
A. Her singing ability. B. Her dream of success.
C. Her advice on singing well. D. Her private experiences.
5. What does the underlined word “traumatic” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Bitter. B. Relaxing.
C. Valuable. D. Practical.
6. How did Patty’s friends influence her?
A. They helped her get rid of loneliness. B. They witnessed her success.
C. They inspired her to act bravely. D. They helped her find out problems.
7. What do Patty’s words in the last paragraph intend to show?
A. The need to be independent.
B. The importance of relieving our pain.
C. The necessity of accepting our life.
D. The meaning of learning about ourselves.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We have to figure out a way to take our pain away and put it where it needs to be, without letting it guide our lives. Pain is a part of our story. It describes us, but it doesn’t need to define us.”（“我们必须找到一种方法，把痛苦带走，放到它应该在的地方，而不是让它指引我们的生活。痛苦是我们故事的一部分。它描述了我们，但不需要定义我们。”）可知帕蒂在最后一段中的话意在表明减轻我们痛苦的重要性。故选B。

Researchers have been investigating for years the ways in which screens affect the quality of a person’s reading. The magazine Scientific American reported that at least 100 studies have been published on the issue since the 1980s.
Virginia Clinton carried out a research examination. She is a professor of Education, Health and Behavior at the University of North Dakota. She found what she called a “small but significant” difference in reading text from screen versus paper.
Clinton looked at 33 past studies that examined paper versus screen reading. All of the studies were done between 2008 and 2018. The studies collectively had 2,799 study subjects, including both children and adults. Clinton’s examination found that reading from paper generally led to better understanding and improved a person’s performance on tests connected to the reading material. And, she found no major differences in reading speed between the two.
Clinton and other researchers have found screen readers often believe they understand a text better than they really do. And, they are more likely than paper readers to overestimate how well they would do on a test of the materials they have read.
Yet, this overestimated sense of understanding is especially common among screen readers. Clinton said, “There are many possible reasons for such findings. Overconfidence of reen readers, for example, could be the result of a distracted, less focused mind. Readers’ preferences are also important. Research shows the majority of people of all ages prefer reading from paper. If you are enjoying the reading process, you’re going to be more involved. You’re going to be paying better attention. Preferences are a key issue here.”
Several studies have found that people often think of paper materials as something more important and serious. “If you are reading from paper, your mind thinks this is something important. I need to pay attention to it,” Clinton said.
8. How did Clinton find the so-called difference?
A. By doing many surveys. B. By doing 2,799 research.
C. By analyzing research findings. D. By publishing texts on a magazine.
9. What benefit does reading from paper bring to readers?
A. Higher reading speed. B. Better reading efficiency.
C. Stronger reading interest. D. Happier reading experiences.
10. How will screen readers feel after finishing reading?
A. Empty-headed. B. Anxiety-ridden
C. Energetic. D. Overconfident.
11. Which aspect of reading will readers’ preferences have an effect on?
A. The concentration. B. The duration.
C. The material. D. The method.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了弗吉尼亚·克林顿进行了一项研究调查发现与屏幕阅读者相比，纸上阅读通常能让人更好地理解和带来提高的阅读效率。且与纸上阅读相比，屏幕阅读者往往更有可能高估自己在阅读材料测试中的表现，同时克林顿分析了产生这一现象的诸多原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中Clinton looked at 33 past studies that examined paper versus screen reading. All of the studies were done between 2008 and 2018. The studies collectively had 2,799 study subjects, including both children and adults. Clinton’s examination found that reading from paper generally led to better understanding and improved a person’s performance on tests connected to the reading material.（克林顿研究了过去33项关于纸张和屏幕阅读的研究。所有的研究都是在2008年到2018年之间进行的。这些研究共有2799名研究对象，包括儿童和成人。克林顿的研究发现，从纸上阅读通常能让人更好地理解和提高一个人在与阅读材料相关的测试中的表现。）可知克林顿通过分析研究结果发现了所谓的差异。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段Clinton’s examination found that reading from paper generally led to better understanding and improved a person’s performance on tests connected to the reading material.（克林顿的研究发现，从纸上阅读通常能让人更好地理解和提高一个人在与阅读材料相关的测试中的表现。）可知从纸上阅读能给读者带来更好的阅读效率。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段最后一句And, they are more likely than paper readers to overestimate how well they would do on a test of the materials they have read.（而且，与纸质读者相比，他们更有可能高估自己在阅读材料测试中的表现。）以及倒数第二段第一句Yet, this overestimated sense of understanding is especially common among screen readers.（然而，这种被高估的理解感在屏幕阅读者中尤其普遍。）可知屏幕阅读者读完后会感到过于自信。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中You’re going to be paying better attention. Preferences are a key issue here.（你的注意力会更集中。偏好是一个关键问题。）可知读者的偏好会影响阅读的专心程度。故选A。
【点睛】细节理解题解题方法
细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的题。但高考所占的比例大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解，一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案，而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。
做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：
1.略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。经常有新技术对将来人们工作和生活不良影响的预测，但事实证明结果并不是那样，我们有必要否定预测，以减少人们的恐惧。
2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。
3.将精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。
如第四小题，根据倒数第二段中You’re going to be paying better attention. Preferences are a key issue here.（你的注意力会更集中。偏好是一个关键问题。）可知读者的偏好会影响阅读的专心程度。故选A。
D
We have recently heard some interesting ways that 5G wireless technology might change our lives in the future. One project in Britain is testing this superfast technology, but not on humans. Instead, the experiment involves an unlikely group of Internet users—cows. The system connects the animals to 5G in an effort to automate the milking process.
The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems. It is part of a Cisco-led program called 5G Rural First. Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural communities around the world. Rural areas are expected to be the last to receive 5G service.
Testing areas were set up on farms in three rural areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G-connected devices that link up to a robotic milking system. The system uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process, System designers say the technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each individual cow. It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking. During the process, machines release food for the cow as a reward.
One of the test areas is in the town of Shepton Mallet, in southwest England. There about 50 of the farm’s 180 cows are fitted with 5G smart collars and health-observing ear sensors. Project officials say the devices do not harm the cows and the sensors permit farmers to immediately identify any problem or health concerns.
Other technology tools powering the 5G smart farms include automated brushes that work automatically when the cow rubs up against them. Sensors also control the amount of light to the cows’ living areas depending on the weather. And, an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always get enough to eat.
Nick Chrissos works on the project for Cisco. He said the system could connect every cow and every other animal on the whole farm. “That’s what 5G can do for farming—really release the power that we have within this farm, everywhere around the United Kingdom, and everywhere around the world.”
12. Why was the program developed?
A. To produce more milk. B. To care for cows better.
C. To try out 5G in rural areas. D. To improve 5G system on farms.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The way 5G system controls the milking process.
B. The way 5G system is set up on the farms.
C. The reason why 5G is used on the cows.
D. The reason why 5G is popular with the farms.
14. Which paragraph talks about extra technology applications on the 5G farm?
A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2.
C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5.
15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. 5G Is Used Widely on the Cows of British Farms
B. 5G Has Reached Rural Areas of the United Kingdom
C. British Cows Connected to 5G Can Control Their Own Milking
D. Farmers in British Are Using 5G to Improve Their Life
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了现代技术是一把双刃剑。它们确实有自己的优势，但它们可以彻底改变我们的生活。
【41题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：我们在网上购物、工作、娱乐、搜索信息和聊天。固定短语seek to do sth.“试图做；设法做某事”，故填to chat。
【42题详解】
考查固定句式。句意：人们相信，人们已经欣然接受了技术，只追求它好处而忽略了它的缺点。固定句式It is believed that…“人们相信……”，故填is believed。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。本空与上文seeking only the benefits构成并列非谓语结构，故填ignoring。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：不管你的家是在闹市还是在偏远的农村。downtown为名词需要形容词修饰，故填noisy。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：如果你有一个屏幕，它可以接收到一个信号，你的思想仍然在同一个地方。结合上下文语境可知为承接关系，故填and。
【46题详解】
考查定语从句连接词。句意：当你盯着屏幕的时候，你的大脑会进入这个区域，你会觉得大脑停止思考了。本句为定语从句修饰先行词place，且先行词在从句中做地点状语，故填where。
【47题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：现在，你认识的每个人都在你的触手可及的范围内，把那种特定的心理感受带离与人交往。固定短语within arm’s reach“伸手可及的范围内”，故填within。
【48题详解】
考查物主代词。句意：你每时每刻都能看到他们，几乎能听到他们的每一个想法，就像他们听到你的一样。此处做hear的宾语需要用名词性物主代词，故填yours。
【49题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：总之，现代技术是一把双刃剑。固定短语in conclusion“总之”，故填conclusion。
【50题详解】
考查副词。句意：它们确实有自己的优势，但它们可以彻底改变我们的生活。修饰动词change应用副词形式，故填completely。
【点睛】定语从句的关系词的选择可考虑以下三点：
(1)一看先行词的意义，即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等)
(2)二看关系词的句法功能，即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose，有时也用which；作状语要用when, where, why)
(3)三看定语从句的种类，即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句)
如第六小题，句意：当你盯着屏幕的时候，你的大脑会进入这个区域，你会觉得大脑停止思考了。本句为定语从句修饰先行词place，且先行词在从句中做地点状语，故填where。

5.考查名词的数。句意：一位导游告诉我们，夏天的温度最高可达50摄氏度。one of后跟复数名词，表示“……其中之一”，故guide改为guides。

7.考查非谓语动词。句意：在那种天气穿这种衣服可能很舒服，但现在是冬天，很凉快。本句中需要动名词短语做主语，故Wear改为Wearing。
8.考查代词。句意同上。指代季节应用代词it，故this改为it。
9.考查动词时态。句意：冬季白天气温约22℃，晚上约13℃。描述客观事实用一般现在时，故was改为is。
