一、阅读理解
Prague is one of Europe's most magical cities with its postcard views. To experience the best of Prague, we've put together a walking guide to help you explore the city. Choosing this self-guided tour means that you can do it at your own pace.
Vrtba Garden
One of Prague's most beautiful and precious gardens. The garden dates back to 1720 with its old school Italian baroque style. This is one of Prague's lesser known attractions so you may not find many tourists around, but it's well worth the visit and a great way to start your walking tour of Prague.
Address: Kamelitsksá, 373/25, 118 00 Praha 1-Malá Strana, Czechia
Saint Nicholas Church
The most famous church in Prague is the Saint Nicholas Church. Three generations of great architects took around 100 years to build this magnificent church. The church remains active to this day, so why not go and have a close look at the church?
Address: Malostranské nám., 118 00 Praha I-Malá Strana, Czechia
Prague Castle
Situated on a hill on the left bank of river Vitava, the Prague Castle is roughly the size of seven football fields, which is the largest ancient castle in the world, so there's a lot to see. The Prague Castle has been rebuilt many times through the centuries, so it is an obvious mix of architectural styles.
Address: 119 08 Prague 1, Czechia
Lennon Wall
The wall is not just a memorial for John Lennon and his ideas for peace. It speaks highly of freedom of speech and is a form of non-violent rebellion of Czech youth who fought against authorities during 1980.
Address: Velkopřevorské náměstí, 100 00 Praha 1, Czechia

D．You should be careful when crossing the river Vitava.

Social distancing is not a new concept in the natural world, where infectious diseases are commonplace. Through specialized senses animals can detect certain diseases and change their behavior to avoid getting ill.
In 1966, while studying chimps (猩猩) in a Tanzanian national park, zoologist Jane Goodall observed a chimp named McGregor who had caught a highly infectious virus. His fellow chimps attacked him and threw him out of the troop. In one instance, McGregor approached chimps in a tree. He reached out a hand in greeting, but the others moved away without a backward glance.
“For a full two minutes, old McGregor sat motionless, staring after them,” Goodall notes in her 1971 book In the Shadow of Man. “It’s really not that different to how some societies react today to such a tragedy.”
Not all animals are so aggressive toward their ailing neighbors. Sometimes it’s as simple as avoiding those who may infect you.
When Kiesecker, a lead scientist in America, studied American bullfrog in the late 1990s, he found that bullfrogs could not only detect a deadly smell of infection in other bullfrogs, but healthy members actively avoided those that were sick. Bullfrogs rely on chemicals signals to determine who is sick or not.
Caribbean lobsters also shun diseased members of their community, well before they become infectious. It takes about eight weeks for lobsters infected with the deadly virus Panulirus argus mininuceovirus to become dangerous to others. Normally social animals, lobsters begin keeping away from the diseased as early as four weeks after infection – once the lobsters can smell certain chemicals released by sick individuals.
Overall, it’s important to note that, unlike us, animals don’t realize if they stay home, they might actually reduce the infection rate,” Kiesecker explains. “As humans, we have that ability. It’s a big difference.”
4．What can we learn about the chimps from Goodall’s observation?
A．They kept a distance from one another.
B．They became aggressive when infected.
C．The infected avoided contact with others.
D．The infected were forced to leave the group.
5．What does the underlined word “shun” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A．Avoid. B．Cure. C．Get rid of. D．Get along with.
6．How are humans different from animals according to Kiesecker?
A．Humans are more sensitive to virus.
B．Humans are less likely to get infected.
C．Humans treat infectious diseases in a wiser way.
D．Humans can detect chemical signals more quickly.
7．Which might be the best title for the text?
A．Help Me Out
B．Leave Me Alone
C．Stay Away From Us
D．Stay Home Stay Healthy

During the holiday season, many of us feel pressure to find our loved ones the “perfect” gift. Why? Because gift-giving has long been considered a prime way to express love. However, recent research suggests that small acts of kindness, like a kind word, hugging a child or receiving sympathy, make people feel most loved and supported.
In the study, 495 men and women between the ages of 18 and 93 completed a questionnaire evaluating 60 possible ways that people can feel love. The storyboards included situations like spending time with friends, receiving gifts, and spending time in nature. The survey also included negative interactions, like being controlled and criticized (批评) by others.
The findings highlight the psychological benefits that close relationships can offer. In fact, study participants ranked human interaction as a more significant expression of love than receiving material items, like presents. Connecting with others was also rated more highly than getting positive feedback on the Internet, indicating that people get the most support from personal human contact.
“During the holidays，anxiety rises, making it harder to remain present with ourselves and others. However, the power of spending time with another person is a gift we can give at any moment,” says Dr. Carla Naumburg, a mindfulness coach and social worker in Newton, Mass. He suggests balancing party planning and online shopping with moments of human connection. Activities like reading to a child, meeting a friend for a walk, or taking a moment to call a family member, are ways to express love and care and can keep us emotionally grounded.
While the idea of offering loved ones the gift of our time may pale in comparison to giving them a generous present, recent research shows shared human experiences can tighten social bonds. Despite personality differences，most people agree on what makes us feel loved—the presence of our loved ones.
8．What does the text mainly focus on?
A．Gift and holiday economy. B．Social and personal relationships.
C．Stress and human progress. D．Selfish and generous love.
9．What can we know about the questionaire?
A．About 500 men participated in it.
B．Participants disliked negative interactions.
C．A wide range of age groups got involved.
D．Participants had limited ways to feel love.
10．What does Dr. Carla Naumburg intend to tell us?
A．People often find it difficult to stay with others.
B．Face to face connection is a gift to show love.
C．Reading to a child is the best way to convey love and care.
D．Balancing holiday activities with relaxation is recommended.
11．What might be the best title of the text?
A．Gift-giving is already out of date.
B．Social interaction lights up your holidays.
C．It is not presents but presence that counts.
D．Stress causes people to withdraw from others.

Measles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine(疫苗). But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.
The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called “herd immunity”, which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn’t work.
But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.
That’s exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.
The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.
Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption（豁免), sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.
Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions.
Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks.
12．The first two paragraphs suggest that ____________.
A．a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trend
B．the outbreak of measles attracts the public attention
C．anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasons
D．information about measles spreads quickly
13．Herd immunity works well when ____________.
A．exemptions are allowed
B．several vaccines are used together
C．the whole neighborhood is involved in
D．new regulations are added to the state laws
14．What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?
A．The overuse of vaccine.
B．The lack of medical care.
C．The features of measles itself.
D．The vaccine opt-outs of some people.
15．What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce the idea of exemption.
B．To discuss methods to cure measles.
C．To stress the importance of vaccination.
D．To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.

Walter John was a 20-year-old college student from Homewood, Alabama. As a young man in college far away from home, he didn’t have much money. He had to work part-time to cover his living costs.
Recently he gave up his part-time job in the fast-food business and found a new one at a home-moving company called Bellhops. The pay for his new job was higher, and John gained more flexibility with his hours, which allowed him to focus on his studies a bit more. He wanted to do everything he could to secure this new employment opportunity, so he thought he had to try his best to make sure that everything would go well on his first day!
But sometimes, life hits you unexpectedly. A day before John began his new job, his car broke down! With little money to his name, he couldn’t have his car repaired at the garage. None of his friends were able to take him to work. What was worse, the public transportation was not running at his working time. If he took a taxi, it would cost him half his salary.
Therefore, he decided to walk to the company.
In order to get there by six in the morning, he thought that the safest way would be to leave at midnight. John even challenged himself to arrive there one hour earlier. Even though it seemed like such a far walk, John knew he was fit enough to do it. This was challenging, but John knew it was possible.
He grabbed his wallet and his phone and left his apartment. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he realized that walking alone in the dark at midnight can be dangerous. Moreover, he had to walk through a large wood as well as many blocks of the city. Therefore, he went back to take a bat (球棒) and a kitchen knife for safety purposes. In case a wild animal or some bad person attacked him, at least he would have something for protection.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右：
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally John started his long walk.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________At that time, a car was drawing closer.

作者态度及写作意图推断
每一篇文章都会包含作者的某种观点和态度，只不过有的直截了当，有的含而不露，有的通过所用词语的褒贬来体现。此类题可细分为作者态度题(表明作者的好恶)和作者观点题(表明作者对某事物的看法)。准确把握作者的情感和态度，需要注意以下几点：
1.作者对某一事物的看法,要么支持,要么反对,带中立色彩的词最不可能是正确答案。
2.漠不关心类词语往往不对,既然写文章就不会不关心。
3.不要把自己的态度揉入其中,也要区分作者的态度和作者引用的别人的态度。
4.当作者的态度没有明确提出时,要学会根据作者使用词语的褒贬性来判断。
5.作者的观点一般与文章的主旨相关联。
6.绝对化或语气过于强烈的选项常常是错误的,如:strong, complete, entire等。
比如小题4考查文章的写作目的，本文主要介绍了麻疹在历史上带来的危害，以及为什么会有这样的情况，最根本原因还是那些不注射疫苗的人导致的，故本文的目的是强调疫苗的作用，故选C。

47．Paragraph 1:
Finally John started his long walk. A few hours into the trek, he saw eyes in the distance, so he grabbed his bat before realizing it was just a stray dog. He walked across the street, hoping the dog wouldn’t bother him, and he also picked up a ball and threw it in the opposite direction. It worked. John walked for three hours straight and felt great about it. His legs burned a bit, but another three hours would hurt him. He thought a quick rest could give him more energy, so it was a calculated decision to take a break.
Paragraph 2:
At that time, a car was drawing closer. When the driver, Mark, pulled up to John, he rolled down the window and asked why he was all alone in the morning on the road. John told the Mark what he was doing. Impressed by his story, Mark offered to give him a lift. Thanks to Mark’s help, John managed to make it to the destination at 5:30. With the sun peeking over the horizon, John’s face glowed with gratitude. Feeling energetic, he couldn’t wait to get started.
Version 2:
Paragraph 1:
Finally John started his long walk. He walked nonstop and soon he was deep in the forest. Apart from the creepy cry from owls and the rustling of trees, the wood was in a deathly silence. Unconsciously, he quickened up and held onto the bat tightly. Abruptly, a terrible howl, from what sounded like a wolf, broke the silence and startled him. He jumped up and ran as fast as his legs could carry him. He didn’t stop running until he saw a flash of light at a distance, moving quickly towards him.
Paragraph 2:
At that time, a car was drawing closer. At the sight of John, the driver slowed down and stopped. He asked cautiously, “What are you doing here at this time?” Hearing that there were probably wolves in the forest ahead, the man immediately urged John to get in and turned around the car. After John told the man why he was in the wood, the man burst into laughter, “I know your company, young man. I’m the boss. You see, I was just off work when you went to work. Now, would you like to have breakfast together?”
