一、阅读理解
Since you can't get to theaters, museums, galleries, music venues or opera houses during these difficult days due to corona virus, instead they'll come to you. Here's a list of some of Europe's best-known museums.
Louvre Museum in Paris
As the most visited museum in the world, it offers virtual tours online. It also has a number of "Visitors Trails" in different themes, designed to give an overview of the scope and wealth of the museum's collections. Each trail is based on a selection of works that characterize a period, an artistic movement or a theme, including the artworks from JAY-Z and Beyoncé's music video.
Schirn Museum in Frankfurt
It has digitally opened its current exhibition, now closed due to the virus, called "Fantastic Women" (scheduled from February 13 to May 24), highlighting the works of 34 women artists and their contributions to Surrealism (超现实主义), including Frida Kahlo, Leonora Carrington, Leonor Fini, Dorothea Tanning and Dora Maar.
Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam
Are you looking for ways to entertain your children with an educational twist? Then the Van Gogh will bring the great artist to you and also invite you to a virtual visit inside the Museum. The museum explores the painter's life, his relationship with his brother Théo, his passion for Japan and also his mental illness. Everything is in high definition.
Of course, a range of recent opera and ballet productions are also available, with the hope to give pleasure to as many people as possible. Please get more information at www. forbes. com.
1．The works in "Visitors Trails" are chosen according to ________.
A．Periods B．Collections C．Sites D．Artists
2．Whose works are included in "Fantastic Women"?
A．JAY-Z's. B．Leonardo Da Vinci's.
C．Van Gogh's. D．Leonora Carrington's.
3．Where is the passage most likely to be taken from?
A．A report. B．A website. C．A magazine. D．A textbook

I always wanted to have extraordinarily good command of something. I wanted to remain the best in class, awe-inspiring and tip-top; a world-famous genius, like Michael Phelps, or Mark Zuckerberg.
Unfortunately, my version of reality did not quite line up with this delusional vision. I was a good swimmer, but I peaked at the collegiate State Championship level. My academic record was pretty solid, but I never would have made it into one of those exceptional Ivy League Schools.
Though I rose to above-average status in a couple of areas, the disappointing truth was that I would never amount to anything more than a mid-sized fish in a small pond. The destiny apparently had drawn up other plans.
What drove me crazy, though, was the superstar talent thrown in my face at every turn. Some folks just seemed to get an unfair share of it.Why couldn't I be like Bernie Williams, the famed New York Yankees player who also happened to be a world-class jazz guitar virtuoso (艺术大师)?
Some say greatness is simply a function of putting in the practice time. It is around ten thousand hours, to be precise, according to author Malcolm Gladwell. I don't question the theory of devoting considerable efforts to developing one's professional knowledge, but it seems that talent carries much weight alike.
I've heard that as people approach middle age, their life satisfaction increases because they begin to accept the gap between the expectations for themselves and the reality. After a few decades of frustration without the desired results, we eventually come to terms with how our lives turned out, even if it falls far short of our idealized youthful expectations.
Hope bends, it seems.
4．What does the underlined word "delusional" in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A．Realistic. B．Imaginary. C．Disappointing. D．Material.
5．In the passage, the writer thinks of himself as ________.
A．a world-famous genius B．a world-class virtuoso
C．a mid-sized fish in a small pond D．a student in an Ivy-League school
6．According to the writer, what makes "greatness"?
A．Talent and practice. B．Ten thousand hours of practice.
C．Talent and professional knowledge. D．Extraordinary efforts.
7．Which of the following might be the best title?
A．Youthful Expectations. B．Frustrating Decades.
C．Practice Counts. D．Hope Bends.

While we may think it feels good to complain, complaining has some bad effects associated with it.
Why isn't complaining beneficial? Research shows that it connects our brain with negativity. The brain is designed to work efficiently. This means that when we repeat a thought, negative or positive, the nerve cells form a bridge between each other to pass information in a higher speed. Therefore, the next time we have a similar type of thought, it is more easily passed. This explains why certain thought patterns become habits.
Yet the harmful effects don't stop there. A study shows that complaining causes the hippocampus (海马区), which plays a vital role in problem-solving, to become smaller. In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone: cortisol, a kind of chemical the body produces when we meet with some danger. Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity.
The ill effects of our complaining aren't just limited to ourselves: they also involve those around us. We tend to mirror the moods of our friends. For this reason, we should be cautious about having stubborn complainers in our circle of acquaintances and companions.
The best way to deal with constant negativity is to develop a sense of gratitude. Just like complaining acts as a poison, gratitude acts as a medicine. Research shows it lowers cortisol levels by 23 percent, as well as reduces blood pressure and blood sugar. It also decreases tiredness and depression. Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a behavior that steals our brain power, happiness and physical well-being.
What have you observed about the effects of complaining in your own life or in the lives of others? Have you noticed that when you are grateful, you feel better all over? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.
8．What do paragraphs 2-3 mainly talk about?
A．The bad effects of complaining on brain power.
B．The decrease of a vital part of our brain.
C．The diseases caused by complaining.
D．The reason why certain thought patterns become habits.
9．What can we know about cortisol from the passage?
A．Gratitude functions as an effective cure for cortisol.
B．Having a high level of cortisol can lead to many health problems.
C．Our body produces cortisol when we feel excited.
D．Cortisol is a chemical that can cause brain damage.
10．What attitude does the writer take to stubborn complainers?
A．Indifferent. B．Neutral. C．Skeptical. D．Disapproving.
11．What is the purpose of the writer?
A．To encourage readers to share ideas.
B．To introduce different emotions.
C．To analyze the reasons for complaining.
D．To inform readers the effects of complaining.

We are fortunate to live in a city that encourages bicycling as a means of transportation.Our local government has promoted bicycling by improving bike lanes and increasing the number of them. The growing number of cyclists, however, brings this question to mind: should bicyclists be required to share the responsibilities of the road? Automobile drivers have to take competency tests, follow established regulations, and accept punishment for breaking rules. The city requests drivers to register and license their vehicles to ensure accountability (责任）. Bicyclists who use public roadways should be held accountable, too.
Let's look at what sharing the road means. For one thing, it should involve cost sharing.Auto registration and license fees are used, in part, for building and maintaining roadways. It seems only reasonable to ask bicyclists to contribute to transportation funding as well.
More importantly,sharing the road includes accountability. When drivers ignore the rules of the road, the police and other motorists have the opportunity to identify them by their license plate number and report their offenses (违法行为）.. This isn't true for bicyclists. I've seen bicyclists moving quickly between lanes.Because they show no identification, they feel protected by anonymity(匿名）。What good would it do to report to the police “I saw a guy on a red bike blow through the stoplight"? The simple act of making bicyclists identifiable would encourage safer, more responsible riding.
Of course,I've heard arguments against asking cyclists to register and license their bikes. Some people might say, “Little kids ride bikes. Would you require a six-year-old rider to take a test and pay a fee?" Obviously, the city could determine an age when cycling would be considered a "means of transportation on public roads." Other people argue that bicycle fees are unfair because bikes don't damage the roadways as cars do. Bicycle registration fees could be comparatively modest, and the method for displaying a license number could be simple.
Many U.S. cities and towns now implement bike registration and licensing. A statute(法规）from one. California town states that the laws regulating bicycles have a dual purpose, antitheft and safety. I'm eager to see more bicyclists on the road, and I'm hoping for riders who take their responsibilities seriously.
12．To advocate responsible cycling, the author suggests
A．increasing the number of bike lanes
B．giving competency tests to all cyclists
C．identifying cyclists through registration
D．reporting cycling offenses more frequently
13．What is the author's purpose in writing Paragraph 4?
A．To explain how bicycle registration and licensing work.
B．To provide solutions to reduce irresponsible cycling of kids.
C．To respond to people's doubts about holding cyclists accountable.
D．To argue against requiring cyclists to register and license their bicycles.
14．What argumentative methods are used in this article?
① Using examples
② Quoting professionals
③ Comparing and contrasting
④ Appealing to readers' emotions
A．①②
B．②④
C．③④
D．①③
15．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Should we encourage more cycling in the city?
B．Should cyclists register and license their bikes?
C．What does "sharing the road" mean to cyclists?
D．How can road safety be guaranteed for cyclists?

二、七选五
The Psychology of Spending
Have you ever stayed up “chopping your hands” during the Double Eleventh Shopping Festival? Does possessing the latest iPhone 12, designer purse or limited sneakers really brighten your day? 16．
Dr. Thomas Gilovich, psychology professor at Cornell University, has studied the topic for over 20 years. According to Dr. Gilovich, “We buy things to make us happy, and we succeed, but only for a while. New things are exciting to us initially, but then we adapt to them.” 17．
Dr. Gilovich has found that our satisfaction with possessions fades over time. Yet our happiness over things we’ve experienced increases.
Why experiences are the better investment?
1. 18．
A trip, an adventure or a hobby etc. tend to bring the participants together and unite them over a shared interest. According to Gilovich, “We consume experiences directly with other people.” As a result, these experiences typically create a positive link and good feelings toward the other person or people.
2. Your experiences become a part of your identity.
You might be someone who loves taking cooking classes. 19． They won’t know you as someone who owns the latest kitchen equipment.
3. Experiences provide lasting memories.
Planned experiences are frequently something we expect. Then when the moment arrives, if we enjoy the time involved in the activity, we’re left with fond memories. These memories will often last a lifetime. Even our worst trips, on many occasions, are later committed to memory with laughter.
Materialism VS Meaningful Experiences
20． Why not spend them on things that will make the greatest difference to our lives — meaningful experiences?
A.More than likely, you’ll strike your friends and family as a great cook.
B.Most of us possess limited resources.
C.The research showed that people who spent money on experiences instead of possessions were happier.
D.Activities can bond individuals.
E.He has concluded that we are spending our money on the wrong things.
F.Old questions as they seem, one psychologist thinks that he might have the answer.
G.In other words, once the novelty (新鲜感) of our newest purchase wears off, we begin looking for something else to buy to make us happy.

三、完形填空
One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 21 when you are not busy finding fault with it.
Several years ago I 22 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 23 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 24 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 25 person.
Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 26 . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 27 to deal with was that the day before the 28 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 29 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 30 . It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 31 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 32 everything so harshly(刻薄). She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 33 as well.
Perhaps most of us aren’t as extreme at fault-finding, 34 when we’re honest, we can be sharply 35 of the world. I’m not suggesting you 36 problems, or that you pretend things are 37 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are — 38 most of the time, and especially when it’s not a really big 39 .
Train yourself to “bite your tongue”, and with a little 40 , you’ll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you’ll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.

There are no precise 41． (criterion) that can be used to judge what is beautiful. As the anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once put 42．, standards and ideas of beauty change across time. Nowadays, some costumes and actions once 43． (regard) as beauty in the 19th century are not considered healthy or attractive, while something 44． (fashion) now had different functions in the past.
There is no consistent view on beauty, as beauty is influenced by culture and it is even 45． (whole) different in the eyes of beholders. In some countries, young women follow slimming diets to lose extra kilos 46． preparation for their wedding day. In other cultures, looking thin for a husband-to-be is not 47． a woman desires at all.
48． different, one thing is certain-it is inner beauty that requires us to truly see. Beauty, that is to say, 49． (accompany) by an attraction to something deeper within a person, 50． can be found in a wide range of personal qualities.

Other people argue that bicycle fees are unfair because bikes don't damage the roadways as cars do. Bicycle registration fees could be comparatively modest, and the method for displaying a license number could be simple.”（。有些人可能会说，“小孩子骑自行车。你会要求一个6岁的骑手参加考试并支付费用吗？”很明显，这个城市可以确定一个年龄，自行车将被视为“公共道路上的交通工具”。其他人认为自行车收费不公平，因为自行车不会像汽车那样损坏道路。自行车登记费可以相对较低，显示牌照号码的方法也可以很简单。）可知，作者描述第四段的目的是回应人们对骑自行车者问责的质疑。故选C。
14．
推理判断题。阅读第一段““The city requests drivers to register and license their vehicles to ensure accountability (责任）.

【分析】
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲了因为受各种因素影响人们对美的评判标准不一样，但是内在美还是一样的。
【详解】
1.考查名词单复数。句意：没有精准的标准可以用来评判什么是美丽的。根据设空前形容词precise及are可知，设空处要填名词复数，作主语。故填criteria。
2.考查代词。句意：正如人类学家Margaret Mead曾经说过的一样，美的标准和观念会随着时间推移而变化。固定句式：as sb. put it 意为“正如某人所说”。故填it。
3.考查非谓语动词。句意：如今，一些服饰和动作在19世纪曾被认为是美丽的，但现在却不被认为是健康的或有吸引力的，而一些现在流行的东西在过去有不同的功能。分析句子，本句的谓语动词为consider，once 　　　3　　　 (regard) as beauty in the 19th century为后置定语，修饰句子主语some costumes and actions，且与空前名词是被动关系，用过去分词，故填regarded。
4.考查形容词。句意同上。结合设空前something可知，此处要用形容词作后置定语。故填fashionable。
5.考查副词。句意：这里没有关于美的统一的观点，因为美是受文化影响，并且在旁人眼里它甚至是完全不同的。根据设空后的形容词different，可知设空处需要副词修饰形容词，故填wholly。
6.考查介词。句意：在一些国家，在准备婚礼过程中年轻女士要遵循减肥饮食来减掉额外的体重 。根据句意可知，设空处及其后文构成介词短语在句中作时间状语，所以设空处需填表示时间的介词，即“在……期间”，故填in。
7.考查表语从句。句意：在其他文化中，对于未婚夫来说，看起来苗条根本不是一个女士所想要的。分析句子，空处引导的从句在句中作表语，又从句中缺少宾语，根据句意可知，宾语指物，故填what。
8.考查副词。句意：无论多么不同，一件事是肯定的—内在美要求我们真正地看到。分析句子结构，可知，　　8　　 different在句中作让步状语，结合其后形容词different，根据句式however+ adj.，意为“无论......;不管......”因为其位于句首，所以首字母大写。故填However。
9.考查时态和语态。句意：美，也就是说，伴随着对一个人内心深处某种东西的吸引力，这种吸引力可以在广泛的个人品质中找到。描述一个客观的事实，用一般现在时；“Beauty”和“accompany”之间是被动关系，用被动语态；结合句子主语beauty，为抽象名词，不可数，谓语动词用单数。故填is accompanied。
10.考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子可知，设空处及之后的内容为非限制性定语从句，先行词为an attraction，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，所以用关系代词which引导该从句，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
51．1. me→mine
2. times→time
3. shopkeeper前the→a
4. reduce前面加to
5. got been sold 中的been去掉
6. So→But
7. other→another
8. increasing→increase
9. easily→easy
10. that →what
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的朋友Joy去书店买减肥书，老板说书刚买完，但是自己有可以增加体重的书，那就是不要照着减肥书上写的去做。
【详解】
1.考查代词。句意：我的一个朋友Joy受够了他不断增加的体重。作介词of的宾语，表示“我的”应用名词性物主代词mine。故me 改为mine。
2.考查固定短语。句意：他一直在想减肥的方法。结合句意表示“一直”可知短语为all the time。故times 改为 time。
3.考查冠词。句意：一天，他去找店主，说：“我想找一本关于如何减肥的书。请给我一本那种书。” shopkeeper为可数名词，此处为泛指应用不定冠词，且shopkeeper是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，应用a。故shopkeeper前the 改为a。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意：一天，他去找店主，说：“我想找一本关于如何减肥的书。请给我一本那种书。”此处为“特殊疑问词+不定式”结构，表示“如何减肥”短语为how to reduce。故reduce前面加to。
5.考查固定短语。句意：先生，那种书的最后一本几分钟前才卖出去。结合句意表示“卖出，售出”短语为get sold。故 got been sold 中的been 去掉。
6.考查连词。句意：但是我有另外一本告诉如何增加体重的好书。上文提到减肥的书几分钟前才卖出去，后文则提到有另外一本告诉如何增加体重的好书，前后文为转折关系，应用连词but。故So 改为But。
7.考查代词。句意：但是我有另外一本告诉如何增加体重的好书。此处泛指三者或三者以上的“另一”应用another；other表示泛指后面要跟复数名词。故other 改为another。
8.考查非谓语动词。句意：我想减肥，而不是增加体重。此处为“想要做某事”短语为want to do sth.，increase应用原形。故increasing 改为increase。
9.考查形容词。句意：解决这个问题太容易了！根据上文“It’s so”可知应用形容词easy，作表语。故easily改为easy。
10.考查宾语从句。句意：那就不要按照书上写的去做。此处为宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，指事情，应用what引导。故that 改为what。
52．During the summer holiday, I took part in a seven-day voluntary activity. The participants were students from different schools in our city.
In the first three days, we went around the city helping clear the litter left casually around. Every day we would collect large amounts of plastics, most of which were plastic bags. This made me realize the seriousness of the white pollution. So after we listened to a report about environmental protection, we all made up our minds to reduce the use of plastic bags in our daily life.
In the following days, we went to several nursing homes, visiting and helping the old there. From this activity, I learned a lot. It was really an unforgettable experience.
