A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.
When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said “I love you, darling.”
The son was missing. If he had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time.
Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.
4. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. The boy looks like an apple.
B. The boy is as pretty as an apple.
C. The boy always has a sweet smile.
D. The boy is loved more than anyone else.
5. Why didn’t the father pick the boy up?
A. He was very lazy. B. He forgot to do so.
C. He was too tired to do so. D. He thought the mother had done that.
6. What do you think of the husband?
A. Warm-hearted. B. Careful.
C. Hard-working. D. Broad-minded.
7. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Learn to forgive others. B. Love is the most important.
C. Everyone can make mistakes. D. Be careful in everything you do.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了妻子不慎丢失了孩子，丈夫并没有责备妻子而是原谅了她，最后在警察的帮助下找回了孩子，并且夫妻相互原谅故事，故事告诉我们只有愿意去原谅，变得无私，家才会成为一个美好的地方。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段划线部分的前半句“They were a loving couple”（他们是一对恩爱的夫妻）和并列连词and并可知，前后句是并列关系，句意应该相似，推断出除了夫妻相亲相爱，他们也宠爱自己的孩子，固定搭配the apple of one’s eyes意为“掌上明珠”，而D项意为“男孩受宠爱的程度超过其他人”，符合题意。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son.”（一天，父亲在工作后太累了所以他就让妻子去接孩子。）可知父亲没去接孩子的原因是因为他太累了。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The husband just said ”I love you, darling.”（丈夫只是说“亲爱的，我爱你。”）可知丈夫并没有因为妻子把孩子弄丢了而责骂她，推断出丈夫是一个心胸宽广的人，D项“心胸宽广的”符合题意。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.”（摆脱你对于原谅，自私和恐惧的不情愿，你将发现世界比之前更美好。）可知，家庭的和谐需要的是学会原谅之前的错误和自私，推断出大家需要彼此原谅。故选A项。
C
In the nearly two centuries since German physician Carl Wunderlich established 98.6℉ as the standard“normal” body temperature, it has been used by parents and doctors alike as the measure by which fevers and often the severity of illness have been assessed.
In more recent years, however, lower body temperatures have been widely reported in healthy adults. A 2019study showed that the normal body temperature in Americans is about 97.5℉. A multinational team led by Michael Gurven and Thomas Kraft have found a similar decrease among the Tsimane, a native population in the Bolivian Amazon.
A key question, then, is why body temperatures have declined over time both for Americans and Tsimane. Extensive data available from the team’s long-term research in Bolivia addresses some possibilities.
Declines might be due to the rise of modern healthcare and lower rates of lingering mild infections now as compared to the past. But while health has generally improved over the past two decades, infections are still widespread in rural Bolivia. Therefore the results suggest that reduced infection alone can’t explain the observed body temperature declines.
It could be that people are in better condition, so their bodies might be working less to fight infection. Or greater access to antibiotics(抗生素) and other treatments means the duration of infection is shorter now than in the past.
Another possibility is that our bodies don’t have to work as hard to regulate(调节) internal temperature because of air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter. While Tsimane body temperatures do change with time of year and weather patterns, the Tsimane still do not use any advanced technology for helping to regulate their body temperature. They do, however, have more access to clothes and blankets.
The researchers were initially surprised to find no single “magic bullet” that could explain the decline in body temperature. It’s likely a combination of factors—all pointing to improved conditions.
8. What role has 98.6℉ been playing?
A. It can show an illness is incurable.
B. It can help doctors determine a fever.
C. It can arouse people’s attention to health.
D. It can indicate an abnormal body temperature.
9. Why rural Bolivia is mentioned in the text?
A. To arouse readers’ sympathy. B. To imply other existing factors.
C. To call for improved medical access. D. To discuss methods to reduce infections.
10. What contributes to the decline in body temperature?
A. The growing adaptability. B. The international policies.
C. The improved conditions. D. The worsening environment.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Modern life improves the general health.
B. Living conditions greatly affect mankind.
C. The normal body temperature is declining.
D. Various factors influence the body temperature.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要分析了人类体温呈下降趋势这一现象背后的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“ it has been used by parents and doctors alike as the measure by which fevers and often the severity of illness have been assessed.”(父母和医生都用它来衡量发烧和疾病的严重程度。)可知，长期以来，父母和医生利用98.6华氏度这一标准体温来判断病人（是否）发烧和疾病的严重程度。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句“infections are still widespread in rural Bolivia. Therefore the results suggest that reduced infection alone can’t explain the observed body temperature declines.”(玻利维亚农村地区的感染仍然很普遍。因此，结果表明，仅仅减少感染并不能解释观察到的体温下降。)可知，虽然感染率的降低会让人们体温下降，但在玻利维亚的农村地区感染现象仍然普遍存在。因此，感染率的降低并不足以解释人们体温为什么会下降。由此可推知，作者在文中提及玻利维亚农村地区的例子是为了说明影响人类平均体温降低的因素不止一个。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。通读全文尤其是最后一段最后一句“It’s likely a combination of factors—all pointing to improved conditions.”(这很可能是一系列因素组合，所有这些因素都表明情况有所改善。)可知，人们体温下降是多种因素共同作用的结果，而所有因素都指向条件的改善。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“A key question, then, is why body temperatures have declined over time both for Americans and Tsimane. Extensive data available from the team’s long-term research in Bolivia addresses some possibilities.”（ 那么，一个关键问题就是为什么美国人和齐曼的体温都随着时间的推移而下降。从该团队在玻利维亚的长期研究中获得的大量数据说明了一些可能性。）通读全文可知，文章主要分析了人类体温呈下降趋势这一现象背后的原因。故选C。
【点睛】细节理解题
此题型是对文章具体细节的考查。通读全文或者部分段落，了解文中的重要事实或细节，然后遵循由整体到细节的原则，把握作者的思路，按全文---段落----词语的步骤来解题。
写作意图题
针对作者态度、语气、风格、倾向的推断。文章中一般都会暗含着作者的观点和态度，在文章的首段或尾段一般表现最为明显，故考生要重点理解首尾段，提炼作者的观点。
主旨(段落)大意题
要求考生在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章或段落进行归纳、概括或评价。解答这类题时，不能只凭文中的只言片语而断章取义。在涉及文章的主题(main idea)、结论(conclusion)、结局(ending)等有关问题时，需要在细读全文的基础上，结合所学语言知识、背景知识、生活常识等进行逻辑推理和判断，从而挖掘出文章中隐含的信息。

Football scarves, shirts and...eggshell art？A retired schoolteacher is making mascot memorabilia(吉祥物纪念品) from eggshell, skillfully crafted by hand.
Nguyen Thanh Tam, 67 years old, spends hours every day making the models. He is driven by his soccer enthusiasm shared by millions across Vietnam glued to the World Cup.
The soccer tournament kicked off in Russia a few weeks ago. Most of his tiny statues are of the tournament mascot, a wolf named Zabivaka. The wolf wears big sports glasses and is kicking a soccer ball. Tam also has plans for models of soccer heroes Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Though not widespread in Vietnam, using eggshell in art is not unheard of. Traditional fine works often feature in laid eggshell that is used to replace white paint.
Tam first developed the unique hobby around New Year in 2002. He was looking for the right material to make a statue with his 13­year­old students. He discovered that an eggshell perfectly displayed Saint Nick's round belly. He eventually married his passion(酷爱) for crafts and soccer. He started making World Cup mascots during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Now he has about 1, 000 of the small statues in his apartment. Some celebrate the 2016 Rio Olympics and the Euro 2016 football tournament in France. Others are of celebrities like Charlie Chaplin, Barack Obama and Gangnam Style's PSY. He also does birds and animals. He has his pig­related series to mark the Year of the Pig in 2019.
Tam says the biggest challenge is to find the right egg shape to fit the creation, so he has expanded beyond chicken eggs to include ostrich(鸵鸟) and quail(鹌鹑) eggs. He has also widened his egg artworks by using up all the yolks(蛋黄) and whites he used to throw away.
Tam doesn't sell the delicate dolls, preferring instead to keep them on display to impress his visitors. He has already received a nod from Vietnam's record center for the most eggshell art created, but he has a global ambition.“I hope one day my eggshell art will be recognized as a world record, ”he said with a smile.
12. What can be learned about Tam's artworks?
A. They're made of eggshell. B. They adopt white paint.
C. They sell well on the market. D. They're partly produced by machine.
13. What's the main purpose of Tam producing the art?
A. To achieve fame and fortune. B. To entertain his students.
C. To make a living. D. To satisfy his passion.
14. What's Paragraph 6 mainly about?
A. Tam's unique art style. B. Tam's highly accomplished artworks.
C. Tam's achievement in teaching. D. Tam's interest in art collection.
15. What's a great problem for Tam?
A. It's hard to make good use of ostrich eggs.
B. It's difficult to find suitable eggshells.
C. It's unbearable to throw away the yolks and whites.
D. It's too hard for his art to be recognized worldwide.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。越南退休老教师Nguyen Thanh Tam热爱蛋壳艺术, 他用蛋壳制成了各种各样的模型, 其中有名人、动物、2018年俄罗斯世界杯吉祥物Zabivaka, 还有2019年的吉祥猪系列等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“A retired schoolteacher is making mascot memorabilia(吉祥物纪念品) from eggshell, skillfully crafted by hand.(一名退休教师正在用蛋壳制作吉祥物纪念品，手工制作得很精巧。)”和第二段“Nguyen Thanh Tam, 67 years old, spends hours every day making the models. (67岁的Nguyen Thanh Tam每天都要花几个小时制作这些模型。)”可知, Tam的艺术品是由蛋壳制成的。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“He is driven by his soccer enthusiasm shared by millions across Vietnam glued to the World Cup.(他对足球的热情激励着越南数百万球迷。)”、第五段第一句“Tam first developed the unique hobby around New Year in 2002.(Tam在2002年的新年前后开始了这个独特的爱好。)”和第四句“He eventually married his passion(酷爱) for crafts and soccer.(他最终嫁给了自己对手工艺和足球的热爱。)”, 以及最后一段第一句“Tam doesn't sell the delicate dolls, preferring instead to keep them on display to impress his visitors.(Tam不卖这些精致的娃娃，而是把它们陈列起来，以给他的客人留下深刻印象。)”可知，Tam的蛋壳艺术只是为了满足自己的个人爱好。故选D。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第六段首句“Now he has about 1, 000 of the small statues in his apartment.(现在他的公寓里有大约1000个这样的小雕像。)”以及后面的“Some celebrate the 2016 Rio Olympics and the Euro 2016 football tournament in France. Others are of celebrities like Charlie Chaplin, Barack Obama and Gangnam Style's PSY. He also does birds and animals.( 一些人在法国庆祝2016年里约热内卢奥运会和2016年欧洲杯。还有查理·卓别林、巴拉克·奥巴马和《江南Style》中的PSY等名人。)”可知, 本段主要介绍了Tam所完成的各种精美的蛋壳艺术品。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“Tam says the biggest challenge is to find the right egg shape to fit the creation, so he has expanded beyond chicken eggs to include ostrich(鸵鸟) and quail(鹌鹑) eggs.( Tam说，最大的挑战是找到合适的鸡蛋形状来适应这一发明，所以他已经将鸡蛋的形状扩展到鸵鸟蛋和鹌鹑蛋。)”可知，Tam面临的问题是很难找到适合创作的蛋壳。故选B。
第二节(共5小题: 每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ways to Improve Yourself by 1% Each Day
Many people treat “life” as something that happens to them. They are the victim. ____16____ And then there are those who are clear on their goals. When something goes wrong, they are the first to admit where they went wrong. How can you live a life by design instead of by default?
Set goals and actually achieve them
____17____ “New Year’s Resolutions” are the worst (or best) example of this. It’s easy to set goals, but very few people follow through with them to the end. People who live by design practice the habit of setting goals and actually achieving them. This constant practice is what allows them to set bigger and bigger goals and see them through to completion.
Surround yourself with people you want to be like
Choose your friends carefully. As they say, “____18____” Make sure that the individuals who occupy your life and time share your values. Ideally, these people should even be a little bit ahead of you, forcing you to stretch and continue to grow in the direction you’d like to go.
Don’t be afraid to go your own way
When you go your own way everyone will tell you that you're wrong at first. Everyone will point and share their opinion and then somewhere down the line, they will all come back around. ____19____ And they will ask you how you did it.
Practice discipline
In order for you to get to where you know you can go, you have to say “no” a hundred times more than you say the word “yes”. ____20____ And the only way to do so is to have a strong sense of self-awareness and discipline.
A. Everybody sets goals.
B. They create the life they want to live.
C. Some people just don’t know when to quit.
D. They will see the life you’ve built for yourself.
E. You must be faithful to yourself and your goal.
F. When things go wrong, it’s someone else’s fault.
G. You are a reflection of those who you spend the most time with.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. G 19. D 20. E
【解析】
【分析】本篇是说明文。文章主要介绍了四个每天提高自己1%的方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Many people treat “life” as something that happens to them. They are the victim.(许多人把“生活”看成发生在他们身上的事情。他们是受害者)”以及后文“And then there are those who are clear on their goals. When something goes wrong, they are the first to admit where they went wrong. (还有一些人很清楚自己的目标。当出现问题时，他们是第一个承认错误的人)”可知，上文提到许多人把自己当成受害者，后文则提到了主动承认错误的人，即本句承接上文进一步解释：当事情出错时，都是别人的错。故F选项“当事情出错时，是别人的错”符合语境，故选F。
17题详解】
根据后文““New Year’s Resolutions” are the worst (or best) example of this. It’s easy to set goals, but very few people follow through with them to the end. People who live by design practice the habit of setting goals and actually achieving them. This constant practice is what allows them to set bigger and bigger goals and see them through to completion.(“新年决心”是最坏（或最好）的例子。设定目标很容易，但很少有人会坚持到底。设计型的人养成了设定目标并实现目标的习惯。这种持续的练习能让他们设定越来越大的目标，并坚持到底)”可知，本段主要是关于设定目标并实现的问题，A选项中sets goals对应后文中set goals。故A选项“每个人都有自己的目标”符合语境，故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Choose your friends carefully.(慎重选择你的朋友)”以及后文“Make sure that the individuals who occupy your life and time share your values. Ideally, these people should even be a little bit ahead of you, forcing you to stretch and continue to grow in the direction you’d like to go.(确保那些占据你生活和时间的人与你有共同的价值观。理想情况下，这些人甚至应该走在你前面一点，迫使你伸展并继续朝着你想要的方向发展)”可知，本段指出交友慎重，选择自己想成为那样子的人作为朋友，所以此处应该填：你经常相处的朋友能看出你是一个怎样的人或者想成为怎样的一个人。故G选项“你能反映出你和谁在一起的时间最多”符合语境，故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“When you go your own way, everyone will tell you that you're wrong at first. Everyone will point and share their opinion and then somewhere down the line, they will all come back around.(当你走自己的路时，每个人一开始都会说你错了。每个人都会指出并分享他们的观点，然后在某个时候，他们都会回过头来)”以及后文“And they will ask you how you did it.(他们会问你是怎么做到的)”可知，从上文可知，不要拘泥于别人的说辞，要坚持自己的选择。那些最初极力反对的人后来也会见证你的选择，并惊叹你所做到的一切。故D选项“他们会看到你为自己建立的生活”符合语境，故选D。
【20题详解】
根据上文“In order for you to get to where you know you can go, you have to say “no” a hundred times more than you say the word “yes”.(为了让你到达你知道你能到达的地方，你说“不”的次数要比你说“是”的次数多百倍)”以及后文“And the only way to do so is to have a strong sense of self-awareness and discipline.(而要做到这一点，唯一的方法就是要有强烈的自我意识和纪律性)”可知，本段主旨是要忠于做自己，忠于既定目标，我们必须要有强烈的自我意识和原则性纪律性。故E选项“你必须忠于你自己和你的目标”符合语境，故选E。

My father got into the insurance (保险) industry when he was very young. He was very ____25____ . Soon he became one of the first independent insurance salesmen in our state.

Of course he wasn’t successful in everything he _____30_____ but he told me _____31_____ that he did something he liked.
Leaving one’s _____32_____ life is not easy. I’ve learned this from my father, and I can say whether the _____33_____ is good or bad, it is worth doing one’s favourite. When we do something we _____34_____ , it gives us extra motivation (动机) to meet our _____35_____ .

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国的剪纸艺术。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：剪纸是在中国很受欢迎的民间艺术之一。分析句子结构可知，空前是形容词great，所以后应接名词，popular的名词形式是popularity，不可数，故填popularity。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：今天，剪纸可以探索的题材几乎没有限制。the number of意为“……的数量”，符合题意，故填the。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：最早的剪纸出现在汉代。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语动词，所以make做本句谓语，和主语paper cuts之间是被动关系，所以应该用被动语态，又根据本句时间状语during the Han Dynasty，可知用一般过去时。故填were made。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：在历史上某个时期，剪纸艺术在中国家庭中被非常普遍地练习（家家都剪纸）。分析句子结构可知，空后是动词practiced，所以空处应用副词修饰，common的副词是commonly。故填commonly。

考查介词。句意：在较高的社会阶层，女性的地位甚至可以根据她的剪纸技巧来衡量。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配based on意为“以……为依据”。故填on。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：剪纸所使用的技巧已经传播到世界各地，这有助于艺术的发展，并呈现出不同的地方色彩。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词have spread，所以use应该用非谓语形式，它的逻辑主语是skills，两者之间是被动关系，所以应该用过去分词表被动。故填used。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：剪纸所使用的技巧已经传播到世界各地，这有助于艺术的发展，并呈现出不同的地方色彩。分析句子结构可知，空处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句部分缺少主语，应用关系代词，先行词是前面整句话，指物，故填which。
【43题详解】
考查名词性从句连接词。句意：因此，在中国它被称为剪纸，而在日本人们称之为monkiri。分析句子结构可知，空处引导的是表语从句，从句部分缺少宾语，指物，所以用what引导。故填what。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：时至今日，剪纸仍被广泛用于装饰门窗，尤其是在中国新年期间。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配be used to do sth.意为“被用于做某事”。故填to decorate。
【45题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：小剪纸也可以用来在贺卡和书签上添加个人风格。分析句子结构可知，根据空前的and，空处应和cards并列，所以空处应填名词，bookmark为可数名词，此处用复数表泛指。故填bookmarks。
