As I write this blog  on 23rd April, most of the UK, will  have been stuck at home for a whole month

since 23rd March. As we adjust to the physical challenges brought about by coronavirus, it will come as no

surprise when I say that our language is also being affected by the current situation.

C. The advanced search.

D. Browsing by categories.

22. What’s the requirement of using the advanced search?

We have all learned some new vocabulary: coronavirus being one of them. For  many, it was probably

the first time they realised that ‘corona’ means ‘crown(-like)’, referring to the shape of the virus itself. There

is  plenty  of  other  terminology  related  to  the  virus:  COVID-19,   epidemic,  pandemic,  self-isolation,

super-spreader. All of a  sudden, the pandemic  has people like you  and me with  no medical backgrounds

talking like true epidemiologists (specialists who study diseases).

A. Registering for the dictionary.

C. Searching with specific words.

B. Matching certain criteria.

D. Searching with purpose.

23. Where is this text probably taken from?

A. A dictionary.

B. A brochure.

C. A website.

D. A textbook.

B

More importantly,  the  effects of  the pandemic  and the  nationwide lockdown  on our  language use

extend  way beyond  the vocabulary  we  might slip  in during  our  video chats  with  family, friends,  and

colleagues. With the  closure of schools and universities,  most bilingual students now  live at home where

they are immersed in a linguistic environment, where on the  one hand, they are losing hundreds of contact

hours with  English-speaking peers. On the  other hand, this  might be an opportunity  for them to  develop

their abilities in their home languages.

Tiger Woods  was only  19-year-olds when  he made  his first  cut on  the PGA  Tour, but  the newest

wonderkid in golf has beaten that marker this week.

The Chinese-Tapei star Hsieh Cheng-wei was in the field for the Linkou International, and experienced

a storming start  on Thursday when he posted  a three under par(标准杆  ) 69. His second  round tailed off

slightly as he finished with a 74, but at one under par, he remains in the tournament for the weekend.

Hsieh broke  the record of Guan  Tian-lang, who made  the cut at  the 2013 Masters when  he was 14

years and 169 days. The  legendary Tiger Woods - who reportedly shot  a 48 over nine holes when  he was

only three-years-old, was 19 when he made his first professional cut at the 1995 Masters.

Cheng-wei isn’t old enough to have been able to drive home from the course after his rounds, and nor

could he celebrate his new feat with an alcoholic drink. However, he wasn’t about to get carried away with

his performance either.

Similar linguistic changes can be observed among those who mostly communicate only in English too,

for instance, in  terms of their accents. After  being in the same space  with our family for  a whole month,

some of  us might  start  to sound  more and  more like  our family–  partly because  we all  unconsciously

accommodate to people we frequently talk to. In this sense, what this national lockdown does to our accents

is like  when we have  been on an  extended holiday abroad  with the family.  Maybe when we  can finally

socialise again, we will be able to guess where each other’s roommates are from.

“I didn’t putt(轻击球 )  well.” he told Markman from AsianTour.com. “It’s not  that tough out there. I

just didn’t play my best  game. I got nervous towards the end  because I wasn’t playing well. I didn’t  have

much expectation though. I just try to play my best.”

28. What is the current situation in Paragraph 1?

A. People in the UK have to stay at home.

C. Coronavirus is affecting our language.

B. We have got used to the environment.

D. People face the challenge of the virus.

Despite his own critical assessment, golf fans reacted favourably when the  official Asian Tour Twitter

account praised the feat, writing: “Local  amateur Hsieh Cheng-wei becomes the youngest male player  (14

years and 33 days  old) to make the halfway  cut on one of the game’s major  Tours,” alongside a clapping

emoji.

29. What does the nationwide lockdown bring for bilingual students?

A. Chatting with relatives online.

C. Fewer English practicing hours.

B. Losing contact with classmates.

D. A lack of learning environment.

30. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. The way we communicate changes.

C. We can easily identify others.

B. We speak with more accents.

D. Our accents are being changed.

The youngster will now hope to progress better than previous record holder Tian-lang, who is currently

outside the top 1,900 players in the world. But his  achievement on his home course will have undoubtedly

made the golf work take note.

31. What’s the author’s tone in writing this article?

A. Cautious.                                                                                     D. Humorous.

B. Critical.

C. Pessimistic.

over it. Before you decide to share, make sure to read stories properly and follow some checks to determine

the accuracy.

Flash droughts are relatively  new for natural disasters, and come on  fast, with conditions going from

normal  to severely  dry  in  less than  one  month.  This means  people  have no  time  to  prepare for  the

consequences, which can include dried crops, streams or wells.

If the story  appears to claim a much  higher level of certainty in  its advice and arguments  than other

stories, this is questionable.            38         . So, it is only natural to more  readily accept information that

provides comfort or easy solutions – unfortunately, often in a false way.

A well-documented flash  drought swept  across the central  U.S. in  2012. Normal winter  and spring

rainfall made people assume it would be a normal summer. But it suddenly stopped raining in May, leading

to the driest summer in the Great Plains  since 1895. The drought destroyed crops in six states, resulting in

$35.7 billion of agricultural loss.

39

, it is worth double-checking. Fake news will try to  grab your attention by being more

exaggerated than real stories. Anything written entirely in capital  letters or containing a lot of exclamation

marks should raise your suspicions.

The 2012 disaster inspired researchers to concentrate on flash  droughts. In a study published in 2021,

Cook and his colleagues, using tree ring data paired with soil moisture data, reconstructed the frequency and

scale of flash droughts in the Central Plains over the past 500 years. The model showed that over one-third

of all flash droughts since A.D. 1500 occurred in the 20th century.

The best sources for authentic information are your government websites. However, even government

messaging can get things wrong.

. For instance, The Conversation is a more trusted source

because   all  content   is   written   by   academics  who   are   experts   in  their   fields.   Websites   such

as APFactCheck and Full Fact highlight common fake news stories. A search engine can be used to look up

the title of the article to see if it has been identified as fake news by the mainstream media.

A. If a story is more surprising

However, while science is giving  some insights into where and how  these rapid dry outs happen, we

still don’t know how to predict them.

“We know  the physical  ingredients that  cause flash droughts,  but we  don’t really  understand what

triggers them in the soil column,” says Justin Mankin, a geography professor.

B. If a message presses you to share

C. Fake news may also be shared by trusted friends and family

Part of  the reason flash  droughts are difficult  to forecast is  because there’s a  lack of on-the-ground

monitoring, including real-time measurements of soil moisture. Tools like the U.S. Drought Monitor rely on

satellite imagery  of vegetation  as well as  other geophysical  data. But they  only provide  a guess  of soil

moisture, rather than showing what’s happening beneath the surface.

D. People will be seeking certainty in a time of high uncertainty

E. But they are more trustworthy than unchecked sources on social media

F. Think twice about the messages and help guide your family and friends

G. These messages may contain useless, incorrect information and advice

第三部分语言知识运用(共两节,满分30分)

“Plants are doing the water  exchange between the land and the atmosphere,” explains  Mankin. “That

exchange is  happening in  what we  call the  root zone  about a  meter underground,  which is  difficult to

monitor from a satellite.”

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One day, Dad  took Tim and Lily  to the supermarket.  “Now where has Tim  gone?” asked Dad. Lily

shrugged. Keeping track of Tim was not on her agenda today. She’d been trying to decide on the perfect gift

for Dad’s upcoming birthday. This year, she was determined to prepare a present that couldn’t be bought at a

store or ordered online.

B. relief

D. violently

D. grabbed

“Daddy!” Tim appeared out of nowhere, disturbing Lily’s thoughts. He yelled, holding a cereal（麦片）

box in the air, “Let’s get it! It’s nutritious and delicious! And it has a dragon inside!” Tim remembered Dad

saying that when he was a kid, almost every box of cereal came with a toy. Ever since, Tim was certain that

he, too, would find a toy in the next box.

C. embarrassment

C. submitted to

C. harmony

C. described

D. astonishment

D. stuck to

B. came to

B. assistance

B. experienced

D. preference

D. written

When they got home, Dad and Lily began putting away the groceries. Tim couldn’t wait to take the box

of cereal upstairs to  his room. By the time  they finished, Lily could hear  Tim shouting. “No! No!” Tim’s

voice kept getting  louder and louder. Lily  imagined each word  as the sound of  a hammer striking metal.

Then she raced towards her brother’s room. The moment she stepped inside, she felt a crunch（嘎吱声）

beneath her feet. It was  obvious that Tim dumped all that cereal looking  for a toy dragon. “They lied! No

dragon. Just a picture on the box.” Tim sounded close to tears. Annoyed as Lily was, she said quietly, “Let’s

see what the box says.” “I don’t know how to read.” her brother said in a low voice.

It reminded Lily that last school year, Tim’s teacher who sent home easy-to-read books and worksheets

insisted that he was ready to learn to read and just needed some extra help, but Tim complained about books

“for babies” and “boring” homework assignments. It was really a headache for Dad to teach Tim to read! At

the thought of these, it seemed that Tim’s dragon issue had swept away her concern for a present for Dad.
