【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】
M: When people say “culture”, we think of art and history. But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon. We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears — Mickey Mouse. He first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. He became very rich and successful. In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.
Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular. One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man, but he always tried to face any danger. In his early films, Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie. However, he was always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the “little man” win. Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.
On November 18, 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today’s cartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone still knows and loves him. Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey’s?

The way you use your cellphones around your family can have an effect on your relationships. Cellphones can make you feel more connected, but they can also distract（使分心）you and your family from connecting with each other in person. While some people need to check their phones for work or emergency（紧急情况）purposes, it’s important to make meaningful connections through face to face communication.
Some people have trouble putting away their cellphones. They might feel they can’t control how often they pick up their phones or how long they use them. They might feel the need to often check phones without a real reason or feel upset if they don’t have an opportunity to use their phones. Using cellphones for work purposes during family time can increase worries and unhappiness among family members. While using their cellphones, parents talk to their kids less, reply more slowly, and overreact to being interrupted. And ignoring their partner while on the phone is linked to lower relationship satisfaction among couples.
Once you’ve given some thought to your own cellphone use, think about the rules you want your family to follow when you’re together. To get your family on the same page, call a family meeting. Review each person’s current cellphone use and areas where you think some changes might help. It’s not just about simply cutting cellphone use down. Instead, consider what you’re using your phone for and what activities you want to carry out.
For example, are you or your children using phones to stay connected, learn something new, do school work, or do something else If you have kids, ask their opinions on your own phone use. You might be surprised by what they have to share. Use good communication skills by practicing active listening and showing curiosity about what each family member has to say.
Less phone use also usually means less screen time, which enables kids to spend more time outdoors and be more physically active. When teens spend more time actively with their parents, they tend to set higher educational goals.
24．What’s the first paragraph mainly about
A．Family members’ connections. B．Cellphones’ new challenges at home.
C．One disadvantage of the cellphones. D．People’s staying away from cellphones.
25．How do some people feel when they have no phone at hand

A．Are Cellphones Influencing Family Time

Emerging economies struggled to grow through the 2010s and pessimism clouds them now. People wonder how they will pay debts piling up during the pandemic and how they can grow rapidly. The freshest answer to this problem is the fast-spreading digital revolution. The world's largest emerging market has already demonstrated the enormous effects of digital technology. As China's old industries have slowed sharply over the past decade, the booming technology industry has kept the economy growing steadily.
Now China's emerging market peers are getting a push from the same digital engines. Since 2014, more than 10,000 tech firms have been launched in emerging markets—nearly half of them outside China. From Bangladesh to Egypt, it is easy to find entrepreneurs who worked for Facebook or other US giants before coming home to start their own companies.
How can it be that the emerging market countries are adopting common digital technologies faster than the richer countries? One explanation is habit and its absence. In societies filled with stores and services, customers are often comfortable with the providers they have and slow to abandon them. In countries where people have difficulty even finding public facilities, a bank or a hospital, they will jump at the first digital option that comes along. Though only 5% of the Kenyans carry credit cards, more than 70% have access to digital banking.
The digital impact on productivity is visible on the ground, Many governments are moving services online to make them more transparent and less vulnerable to corruption, perhaps the most feared obstacle to doing business in the emerging world. Since 2010, the cost of starting a business has been steady in developed countries while falling sharply in emerging market countries, from 66% to just 27% of the average annual income. Entrepreneurs can now launch businesses affordably, organizing much of what they need on a smartphone.
The era of rapid digitization has only just begun. This offers many developing economies a revolutionary new path to catching up with the living standards of the developed world.
28．Which is a result of digital technology for China?
A．Stabilizing its economy.
B．Accumulating its debts.
C．Keeping its old industries booming.
D．Letting its new industries slow sharply.
29．Why does the author mention Kenyans in paragraph 3?
A．To present emerging markets' digital technologies.
B．To show rich nations abandon what they own unwillingly.
C．To present emerging markets accept digital options warmly.
D．To show poor nations have difficulty building public facilities.
30．What plays a key role in the boom of digital businesses in emerging markets?
A．The steady annual income.
B．The low cost of launching businesses.
C．The simplified procedure of setting up a business.
D．The thorough removal of the most feared obstacle.
31．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Emerging Economies Are Seeking Their Fortune
B．The Digital Impact Is Huge on Global Productivity
C．The Era of Rapid Digitization Is Around the Corner
D．Digital Technology Will Save Slow Emerging Markets
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D
本文是一篇说明文。当全球新兴经济体面临发展困境时，快速发展的数字化革命为其提供了一条新道路。文章介绍了数字科技的发展情况以及积极影响。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“As China's old industries have slowed sharply over the past decade, the booming technology industry has kept the economy growing steadily.(随着中国的老工业在过去十年中急剧放缓，蓬勃发展的科技行业保持了经济的稳定增长)”可知，蓬勃发展的数字科技使中国经济得以稳定发展。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题，根据第三段中“In countries where people have difficulty even finding public facilities, a bank or a hospital, they will jump at the first digital option that comes along. Though only 5% of the Kenyans carry credit cards, more than 70% have access to digital banking.(在那些人们甚至连找公共设施、银行或医院都困难的国家，人们会欣然接受出现的第一个数字选择。虽然只有5%的肯尼亚人携带信用卡，但超过70%的人可以使用数字银行)”可知，作者提及肯尼亚人是为了呈现新兴经济体对数字科技的热情。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题，根据第四段“The digital impact on productivity is visible on the ground, Many governments are moving services online to make them more transparent and less vulnerable to corruption, perhaps the most feared obstacle to doing business in the emerging world. Since 2010, the cost of starting a business has been steady in developed countries while falling sharply in emerging market countries, from 66% to just 27% of the average annual income. Entrepreneurs can now launch businesses affordably, organizing much of what they need on a smartphone.(数字技术对生产力的影响在当地是显而易见的，许多政府正在将服务转移到网上，以使其更加透明，更不容易受到腐败的影响，这可能是在新兴国家做生意最令人担心的障碍。自2010年以来，在发达国家，创业成本一直保持稳定，而在新兴市场国家，创业成本则大幅下降，从平均年收入的66%降至27%。企业家现在可以以经济实惠的价格开办企业，用智能手机组织他们需要的大部分东西)”可知，数字化企业得以在新兴经济体蓬勃发展的重要因素是创办企业成本的降低。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Now China's emerging market peers are getting a push from the same digital engines. (如今，中国的新兴市场同行正受到同样的数字引擎的推动)”以及最后一段“The era of rapid digitization has only just begun. This offers many developing economies a revolutionary new path to catching up with the living standards of the developed world.(快速数字化的时代才刚刚开始。这为许多发展中经济体提供了一条革命性的新道路，以赶上发达国家的生活水平)”结合文章主要谈论当全球新兴经济体面临发展困境时，快速发展的数字化革命为其提供了一条新道路。D选项“数字技术将拯救缓慢的新兴市场”最符合文章标题。故选D。
C
Tobogganing, or sledding (雪橇)，likely comes before the colonization of North America.Records show that Canada's First Peoples used small sleds to transport their belongings and food between camps, Raymond Flower writes in The History of Skiing and Other Winter Sports.But modern-day sled races can trace their origins back to the Swiss Alps in the late 1800s when British tourists decided to race in wooden luges (a sled used by one person) that locals had used to travel through snow.The origin is debatable in snowy northern New York, however, where there $ evidence that Albany held bobsled (a sled used by two or more people) races as early as 1885.
Wherever they began, sled races quickly became popular.The famous Cresta Run, named after the Swiss town near the base of its course, was built in 1885 using snowbanks.The first organized competition was in 1898，hostedby the first bobsled club in nearby St.Moritz (a city in Switzerland).It was then that sledding began to separate from the luge to include two new sports: bob sledding, and skeleton sledding (俯式雪橇).
Cresta Run is considered the birthplace of the skeleton, a particularly daring form of sledding.Unlike the luge, where competitors ride feet-first on a sled with metal runners, the skeleton sledding is a steel sled with a slim appearance.Riders lie down on the sled headfirst, then drop suddenly down an ice track.Bobsledding, meanwhile, involves teams of two to four in which the person in front controls directions and the player in back brakes when needed.It earned its name after competitors started swinging back and forth to speed up the sled.
Bobsledding initially overtook skeleton sledding in popularity, becoming one of a handful of sports played at the first Winter Games in 1924.The skeleton sledding was limited to the Cresta Run for decades because other bob runs around the world were not built for the steel skeleton sled.But in the 1970s，adjustments were made to both the skeleton and bob runs in order to include the event at future winter games.
32.What can we infer about Raymond Flower?
A. He is a writer.
B. He is good at sledding
C. He invented the sledding race
D. He set the first record of sledding
33.How does skeleton sledding differ from the luge?
A. Skeleton sledding runs on metal runners.
B. Skeleton sledding doesn't have back brakes.
C. Riders on Skeleton sledding Sled with their feet.
D. Skeleton sledding needs players to lie down on it headfirst.
34.What limited the popularity of skeleton sledding?
A. Its special shape
B. Its speed
C. Its steel runners.
D. Its unsuitable adjustments.
35.What can be the best title for the text?
A. Why is sledding so popular?
B. How did sledding develop in Switzerland?
C. What are sledding adventures about?
D. How did people kill time in North America?
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了雪橇运动在瑞士的发展。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“Records show that Canada's First Peoples used small sleds to transport their belongings and food between camps, Raymond Flower writes in The History of Skiing and Other Winter Sports.”（雷蒙德·弗劳尔在《滑雪和其他冬季运动的历史》中写道，有记录显示，加拿大的最早的民族使用小型雪橇在营地之间运输他们的物品和食物。）可知,Raymond Flower在书中写道:“记录显示,加拿大的第一民族使用小的雪橇在营地之间运送财物和食物。”因此可以推断出,Raymond Flower是一位作家。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句和第三句“Unlike the luge, where competitors ride feet-first on a sled with metal runners, the skeleton sledding is a steel sled with a slim appearance.Riders lie down on the sled headfirst, then drop suddenly down an ice track.”（在无舵雪橇比赛中，选手们用金属滑手将脚放在雪橇上，而骨架雪橇则是外形纤细的钢制雪橇。骑手头朝下躺在雪橇上，然后突然滑下冰面。）可知,俯式雪橇与单雪橇的不同之处是俯式雪橇需要运动员在滑行时头部朝前方。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“The skeleton sledding was limited to the Cresta Run for decades because other bob runs around the world were not built for the steel skeleton sled.”（几十年来，骨架雪橇仅限于Cresta滑道，因为世界各地的其他滑道都不是为钢骨架雪橇建造的。）可知,俯式雪橇数十年来受限于克雷斯塔滑道是因为其他地方的雪橇滑道不适合钢架的俯式雪橇。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,文章介绍了雪橇运动在瑞士的发展。故选B。

____38__ But waking up to a pleasant tone instead of a sharp alarm can reduce morning sleepiness and improve efficiency，suggests a study published online Jan.28，2020，by PLoS One.Set your smart phone alarm to play soft，harmonic sounds or a relaxing tune.
Music helps to relieve stress in a medical procedure.An analysis of 72 trials involving almost 7，000 patients found that patients who listened to music before，during，and after surgery reported less pain.Earlier studies had found that listening to music during dental work lowered people's anxiety levels.Music produces a calming effect by stimulating the brain's pleasure region.The right choice of music also appears to be necessary. ___39__ "Music that is predictable can promote feelings of control and calm，" she says.
Many studies have shown that students who listen to slow and peaceful sounds have less anxiety.According to Diaz-Falcon，these sounds provide a calming environment and block distractions in your thought process.She says，"Peaceful music is also believed to activate areas in your brain responsible for analytical thinking and creativity，as well as increasing the brain's ability to absorb and store information." ___40___
A. Try some relaxing music.
B. Music has long served as a sleep aid.
C. Turn up some music with a fast beat.
D. Professor Diaz-Falcon says music can increase your energy.
E. Try listening to such sounds the next time you face a tough task.
F. People respond best to familiar music，according to Professor Diaz-Falcon.
G. Used in specific ways，music is also a valuable tool for supporting your health.
【答案】36. G 37. B 38. C 39. F 40. E
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍音乐的好处。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。前文"A favorite musical tune can fuel positive memories，boost your mood，and create a relaxing setting.（ 一首最喜欢的音乐曲调可以激发积极的记忆，提升你的情绪，并创造一个放松的环境。）"说明音乐有很多好处，选项G中有个also，也是再说音乐的好处。且下文与选项的specific ways相照应。G.Used in specific ways，music is also a valuable tool for supporting your health."以特定的方式使用，音乐也是一个支持你的健康的宝贵的工具"符合语境，故选G。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。设空处后文提到"Research in the November 2019 Psychology of Sport and Exercise found that upbeat music can make a workout seem less challenging and more enjoyable（2019年11月的运动和锻炼心理学研究发现，乐观的音乐可以让锻炼看起来不那么具有挑战性，而更令人愉快）"这里的"upbeat"与B项中的"fast beat"相对应。因此推断B.Music has long served as a sleep aid."打开一些快节奏的音乐"符合语境。故选B。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。设空处为段首。且设空后方有一个转折连词but，后文"But waking up to a pleasant tone instead of a sharp alarm can reduce morning sleepiness and improve efficiency"讲到要伴随愉快的音调的音乐起床，跟睡眠有关。C项中的"a sleep aid"一致，因此推断C.Turn up some music with a fast beat."音乐长期以来都作为一种音乐辅助"符合语境。故选C。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。设空处前面"The right choice of music also appears to be necessary."提到正确的音乐选择是有必要的。所以设空与音乐的选择有关。F.People respond best to familiar music，according to Professor Diaz-Falcon."根据Professor Diaz- Falcon教授，人们对熟悉的音乐反应最好"与之相符。故选F。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。本段第一句"Many studies have shown that students who listen to slow and peaceful sounds have less anxiety."提到很多研究表明，听慢而平和的音乐的学生表现的没有那么焦虑，下文对这种音乐的作用进行解释。E项中的"such sounds"指代的是这种声音。因此推断E.Try listening to such sounds the next time you face a tough task."下一次你面对一个复杂的任务时，尝试听听这样的音乐"符合语境。故选E。

译文：沿着伊利运河走着，我看见两个女人朝我走来。我想她们一定是母女。女儿把手伸进口袋，递给妈妈一份零食。他们都笑了。
I started to think of my mother. She got dementia (痴呆)in the early stage. How could I leave her to take care of herself? I was a wife and a mother who worked full-time. The answer was simple: I couldn't.I knew I had to act to keep her safe just like she protected me when she took my tiny hand and walked me to the kindergarten.
译文：我开始想起我的母亲。她早期得了痴呆症。我怎么能让她自己照顾自己呢?我是一个全职工作的妻子和母亲。答案很简单:我不能。我知道我必须采取行动保护她的安全，就像她牵着我的小手送我去幼儿园时保护我一样。
I came up with the idea of seeking a college student for help. Living close to a college, I contacted someone in Student Services. I needed a responsible student to live with my mom free of charge. Luckily, the college representative found one for me and got us in contact.
译文：我想到了找一个大学生帮忙。我住在一所大学附近，联系了学生服务中心的人。我需要一个负责任的学生免费和我妈妈住在一起。幸运的是，大学代表为我找到了一个，并让我们联系上了。
We met at a local store. Walking in, I saw her before she saw me. On the table sat the College' Admissions Handbook. “Could she be as nervous as I am?” I asked myself. With every step I took forward,I felt another pushing me back.
译文：我们是在当地一家商店认识的。走进去时，我先看到了她。桌子上放着学院的招生手册。“她会像我一样紧张吗?”我问自己。我每向前走一步，就感觉有另一步在把我往后推。

“Amanda,” she said with a smile.

译文：我们都觉得有点尴尬，但我还是问:“说说你自己吧。“我来自肯尼亚。”我希望上大学成为一名护士，但我付不起宿舍的费用，”她含着眼泪说。

译文：我深吸一口气，慢慢地说:“我妈妈患有老年痴呆症。我需要有人做我的耳目。这个人会得到一个免费的房间，可以免费上网，和我妈妈住在一起。”
More tears from Amanda. Then she said, “I know you don't know me, but I'm very responsible.I would never do any harm to your mother, and I want so badly to be a nurse.” We talked a lot and finally I believed her and gave her my mother’s address.
译文：阿曼达流下了更多的眼泪。然后她说:“我知道你不了解我，但我很负责任。我永远不会伤害你的母亲，我非常想成为一名护士。”我们谈了很多，最后我相信了她，把我母亲的地址给了她。

【参考范文】
The first night I went to my mom’s, I was very anxious. Was Amanda everything her references said? Did I find a good solution? There were butterflies fluttering in my stomach. Unannounced, I stopped by the next day and stole a glance at the large picture window. There sat my mom having lunch with Amanda. I moved away from the window and rang the doorbell so I wouldn’t make anyone frightened when using my house key. “It's me -Han-rah!” I shouted.
译文：我去妈妈家的第一个晚上，我非常焦虑。阿曼达的推荐人都说了吗?我找到好的解决方案了吗?我心里七上八下。第二天，我不期而至，偷偷地看了一眼大落地窗。我妈妈和阿曼达坐在那里吃午饭。我离开窗户，按响了门铃，这样我用我家钥匙时就不会吓到别人了。“是我——汉——拉!”我叫道。
Amanda met me at the door. Amanda said, “Are you hungry? I made plenty of food for your mother.” I joined them at the table, where conversation flowed freely, Amanda was more than considerate beyond her promise. When Amanda graduated, I welcomed another four nurses who kept my mom company. My mother en-joyed her old age in the company of the kind nurses. I was thankful for what all of them had done. A simple walk by the canal that day, observing another mother and daughter, helped me see that I had done the best I could.
译文：阿曼达在门口接我。阿曼达说:“你饿吗?我给你妈妈做了很多吃的。”我和他们一起坐在桌子旁，谈话自由自在，阿曼达的体贴超出了她的承诺。阿曼达毕业后，我又迎来了四位护士，她们一直陪伴着我妈妈。我母亲在好心的护士们的陪伴下度过了她的晚年。我很感激他们所有人所做的一切。那天在运河边散步，观察另一对母女，让我意识到自己已经尽力了。

M: Well, Mary and Amber were indeed quite close. I guess it was hard for the judges.

【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】
M: When people say “culture”, we think of art and history. But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon. We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears — Mickey Mouse. He first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. He became very rich and successful. In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.
Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular. One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man, but he always tried to face any danger. In his early films, Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie. However, he was always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the “little man” win. Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.
On November 18, 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today’s cartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone still knows and loves him. Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey’s?

The way you use your cellphones around your family can have an effect on your relationships. Cellphones can make you feel more connected, but they can also distract（使分心）you and your family from connecting with each other in person. While some people need to check their phones for work or emergency（紧急情况）purposes, it’s important to make meaningful connections through face to face communication.
Some people have trouble putting away their cellphones. They might feel they can’t control how often they pick up their phones or how long they use them. They might feel the need to often check phones without a real reason or feel upset if they don’t have an opportunity to use their phones. Using cellphones for work purposes during family time can increase worries and unhappiness among family members. While using their cellphones, parents talk to their kids less, reply more slowly, and overreact to being interrupted. And ignoring their partner while on the phone is linked to lower relationship satisfaction among couples.
Once you’ve given some thought to your own cellphone use, think about the rules you want your family to follow when you’re together. To get your family on the same page, call a family meeting. Review each person’s current cellphone use and areas where you think some changes might help. It’s not just about simply cutting cellphone use down. Instead, consider what you’re using your phone for and what activities you want to carry out.
For example, are you or your children using phones to stay connected, learn something new, do school work, or do something else If you have kids, ask their opinions on your own phone use. You might be surprised by what they have to share. Use good communication skills by practicing active listening and showing curiosity about what each family member has to say.
Less phone use also usually means less screen time, which enables kids to spend more time outdoors and be more physically active. When teens spend more time actively with their parents, they tend to set higher educational goals.
24．What’s the first paragraph mainly about
A．Family members’ connections. B．Cellphones’ new challenges at home.
C．One disadvantage of the cellphones. D．People’s staying away from cellphones.
25．How do some people feel when they have no phone at hand
A．Uneasy. B．Uncertain. C．Curious. D．Homesick.

A．Are Cellphones Influencing Family Time

Emerging economies struggled to grow through the 2010s and pessimism clouds them now. People wonder how they will pay debts piling up during the pandemic and how they can grow rapidly. The freshest answer to this problem is the fast-spreading digital revolution. The world's largest emerging market has already demonstrated the enormous effects of digital technology. As China's old industries have slowed sharply over the past decade, the booming technology industry has kept the economy growing steadily.
Now China's emerging market peers are getting a push from the same digital engines. Since 2014, more than 10,000 tech firms have been launched in emerging markets—nearly half of them outside China. From Bangladesh to Egypt, it is easy to find entrepreneurs who worked for Facebook or other US giants before coming home to start their own companies.
How can it be that the emerging market countries are adopting common digital technologies faster than the richer countries? One explanation is habit and its absence. In societies filled with stores and services, customers are often comfortable with the providers they have and slow to abandon them. In countries where people have difficulty even finding public facilities, a bank or a hospital, they will jump at the first digital option that comes along. Though only 5% of the Kenyans carry credit cards, more than 70% have access to digital banking.
The digital impact on productivity is visible on the ground, Many governments are moving services online to make them more transparent and less vulnerable to corruption, perhaps the most feared obstacle to doing business in the emerging world. Since 2010, the cost of starting a business has been steady in developed countries while falling sharply in emerging market countries, from 66% to just 27% of the average annual income. Entrepreneurs can now launch businesses affordably, organizing much of what they need on a smartphone.
The era of rapid digitization has only just begun. This offers many developing economies a revolutionary new path to catching up with the living standards of the developed world.
28．Which is a result of digital technology for China?
A．Stabilizing its economy.
B．Accumulating its debts.
C．Keeping its old industries booming.
D．Letting its new industries slow sharply.
29．Why does the author mention Kenyans in paragraph 3?
A．To present emerging markets' digital technologies.
B．To show rich nations abandon what they own unwillingly.
C．To present emerging markets accept digital options warmly.
D．To show poor nations have difficulty building public facilities.
30．What plays a key role in the boom of digital businesses in emerging markets?
A．The steady annual income.
B．The low cost of launching businesses.
C．The simplified procedure of setting up a business.
D．The thorough removal of the most feared obstacle.
31．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Emerging Economies Are Seeking Their Fortune
B．The Digital Impact Is Huge on Global Productivity
C．The Era of Rapid Digitization Is Around the Corner
D．Digital Technology Will Save Slow Emerging Markets
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D

Though only 5% of the Kenyans carry credit cards, more than 70% have access to digital banking.(在那些人们甚至连找公共设施、银行或医院都困难的国家，人们会欣然接受出现的第一个数字选择。虽然只有5%的肯尼亚人携带信用卡，但超过70%的人可以使用数字银行)”可知，作者提及肯尼亚人是为了呈现新兴经济体对数字科技的热情。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题，根据第四段“The digital impact on productivity is visible on the ground, Many governments are moving services online to make them more transparent and less vulnerable to corruption, perhaps the most feared obstacle to doing business in the emerging world. Since 2010, the cost of starting a business has been steady in developed countries while falling sharply in emerging market countries, from 66% to just 27% of the average annual income. Entrepreneurs can now launch businesses affordably, organizing much of what they need on a smartphone.(数字技术对生产力的影响在当地是显而易见的，许多政府正在将服务转移到网上，以使其更加透明，更不容易受到腐败的影响，这可能是在新兴国家做生意最令人担心的障碍。自2010年以来，在发达国家，创业成本一直保持稳定，而在新兴市场国家，创业成本则大幅下降，从平均年收入的66%降至27%。企业家现在可以以经济实惠的价格开办企业，用智能手机组织他们需要的大部分东西)”可知，数字化企业得以在新兴经济体蓬勃发展的重要因素是创办企业成本的降低。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Now China's emerging market peers are getting a push from the same digital engines. (如今，中国的新兴市场同行正受到同样的数字引擎的推动)”以及最后一段“The era of rapid digitization has only just begun.

Tobogganing, or sledding (雪橇)，likely comes before the colonization of North America.Records show that Canada's First Peoples used small sleds to transport their belongings and food between camps, Raymond Flower writes in The History of Skiing and Other Winter Sports.But modern-day sled races can trace their origins back to the Swiss Alps in the late 1800s when British tourists decided to race in wooden luges (a sled used by one person) that locals had used to travel through snow.The origin is debatable in snowy northern New York, however, where there $ evidence that Albany held bobsled (a sled used by two or more people) races as early as 1885.
Wherever they began, sled races quickly became popular.The famous Cresta Run, named after the Swiss town near the base of its course, was built in 1885 using snowbanks.The first organized competition was in 1898，hostedby the first bobsled club in nearby St.Moritz (a city in Switzerland).It was then that sledding began to separate from the luge to include two new sports: bob sledding, and skeleton sledding (俯式雪橇).
Cresta Run is considered the birthplace of the skeleton, a particularly daring form of sledding.Unlike the luge, where competitors ride feet-first on a sled with metal runners, the skeleton sledding is a steel sled with a slim appearance.Riders lie down on the sled headfirst, then drop suddenly down an ice track.Bobsledding, meanwhile, involves teams of two to four in which the person in front controls directions and the player in back brakes when needed.It earned its name after competitors started swinging back and forth to speed up the sled.
Bobsledding initially overtook skeleton sledding in popularity, becoming one of a handful of sports played at the first Winter Games in 1924.The skeleton sledding was limited to the Cresta Run for decades because other bob runs around the world were not built for the steel skeleton sled.But in the 1970s，adjustments were made to both the skeleton and bob runs in order to include the event at future winter games.
32.What can we infer about Raymond Flower?
A. He is a writer.
B. He is good at sledding
C. He invented the sledding race
D. He set the first record of sledding
33.How does skeleton sledding differ from the luge?
A. Skeleton sledding runs on metal runners.
B. Skeleton sledding doesn't have back brakes.
C. Riders on Skeleton sledding Sled with their feet.
D. Skeleton sledding needs players to lie down on it headfirst.
34.What limited the popularity of skeleton sledding?
A. Its special shape
B. Its speed
C. Its steel runners.
D. Its unsuitable adjustments.
35.What can be the best title for the text?
A. Why is sledding so popular?
B. How did sledding develop in Switzerland?
C. What are sledding adventures about?
D. How did people kill time in North America?
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了雪橇运动在瑞士的发展。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“Records show that Canada's First Peoples used small sleds to transport their belongings and food between camps, Raymond Flower writes in The History of Skiing and Other Winter Sports.”（雷蒙德·弗劳尔在《滑雪和其他冬季运动的历史》中写道，有记录显示，加拿大的最早的民族使用小型雪橇在营地之间运输他们的物品和食物。）可知,Raymond Flower在书中写道:“记录显示,加拿大的第一民族使用小的雪橇在营地之间运送财物和食物。”因此可以推断出,Raymond Flower是一位作家。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句和第三句“Unlike the luge, where competitors ride feet-first on a sled with metal runners, the skeleton sledding is a steel sled with a slim appearance.Riders lie down on the sled headfirst, then drop suddenly down an ice track.”（在无舵雪橇比赛中，选手们用金属滑手将脚放在雪橇上，而骨架雪橇则是外形纤细的钢制雪橇。骑手头朝下躺在雪橇上，然后突然滑下冰面。）可知,俯式雪橇与单雪橇的不同之处是俯式雪橇需要运动员在滑行时头部朝前方。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“The skeleton sledding was limited to the Cresta Run for decades because other bob runs around the world were not built for the steel skeleton sled.”（几十年来，骨架雪橇仅限于Cresta滑道，因为世界各地的其他滑道都不是为钢骨架雪橇建造的。）可知,俯式雪橇数十年来受限于克雷斯塔滑道是因为其他地方的雪橇滑道不适合钢架的俯式雪橇。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,文章介绍了雪橇运动在瑞士的发展。故选B。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5）
A favorite musical tune can fuel positive memories，boost your mood，and create a relaxing setting. ____36__Here are some ways to dig into the power of music.
Having trouble staying motivated during workout？___37___ Research in the November 2019 Psychology of Sport and Exercise found that cheerful music can make a workout seem less challenging and more enjoyable.In the study，people performed high-intensity interval training （HIIT）.The exercisers in the music group reported enjoying their workout more than those in the slow or non-music groups.
____38__ But waking up to a pleasant tone instead of a sharp alarm can reduce morning sleepiness and improve efficiency，suggests a study published online Jan.28，2020，by PLoS One.Set your smart phone alarm to play soft，harmonic sounds or a relaxing tune.
Music helps to relieve stress in a medical procedure.An analysis of 72 trials involving almost 7，000 patients found that patients who listened to music before，during，and after surgery reported less pain.Earlier studies had found that listening to music during dental work lowered people's anxiety levels.Music produces a calming effect by stimulating the brain's pleasure region.The right choice of music also appears to be necessary. ___39__ "Music that is predictable can promote feelings of control and calm，" she says.
Many studies have shown that students who listen to slow and peaceful sounds have less anxiety.According to Diaz-Falcon，these sounds provide a calming environment and block distractions in your thought process.She says，"Peaceful music is also believed to activate areas in your brain responsible for analytical thinking and creativity，as well as increasing the brain's ability to absorb and store information." ___40___
A. Try some relaxing music.
B. Music has long served as a sleep aid.
C. Turn up some music with a fast beat.
D. Professor Diaz-Falcon says music can increase your energy.
E. Try listening to such sounds the next time you face a tough task.
F. People respond best to familiar music，according to Professor Diaz-Falcon.
G. Used in specific ways，music is also a valuable tool for supporting your health.
【答案】36. G 37. B 38. C 39. F 40. E
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍音乐的好处。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。前文"A favorite musical tune can fuel positive memories，boost your mood，and create a relaxing setting.（ 一首最喜欢的音乐曲调可以激发积极的记忆，提升你的情绪，并创造一个放松的环境。）"说明音乐有很多好处，选项G中有个also，也是再说音乐的好处。且下文与选项的specific ways相照应。G.Used in specific ways，music is also a valuable tool for supporting your health."以特定的方式使用，音乐也是一个支持你的健康的宝贵的工具"符合语境，故选G。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。设空处后文提到"Research in the November 2019 Psychology of Sport and Exercise found that upbeat music can make a workout seem less challenging and more enjoyable（2019年11月的运动和锻炼心理学研究发现，乐观的音乐可以让锻炼看起来不那么具有挑战性，而更令人愉快）"这里的"upbeat"与B项中的"fast beat"相对应。因此推断B.Music has long served as a sleep aid."打开一些快节奏的音乐"符合语境。故选B。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。设空处为段首。且设空后方有一个转折连词but，后文"But waking up to a pleasant tone instead of a sharp alarm can reduce morning sleepiness and improve efficiency"讲到要伴随愉快的音调的音乐起床，跟睡眠有关。C项中的"a sleep aid"一致，因此推断C.Turn up some music with a fast beat."音乐长期以来都作为一种音乐辅助"符合语境。故选C。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。设空处前面"The right choice of music also appears to be necessary."提到正确的音乐选择是有必要的。所以设空与音乐的选择有关。F.People respond best to familiar music，according to Professor Diaz-Falcon."根据Professor Diaz- Falcon教授，人们对熟悉的音乐反应最好"与之相符。故选F。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。本段第一句"Many studies have shown that students who listen to slow and peaceful sounds have less anxiety."提到很多研究表明，听慢而平和的音乐的学生表现的没有那么焦虑，下文对这种音乐的作用进行解释。E项中的"such sounds"指代的是这种声音。因此推断E.Try listening to such sounds the next time you face a tough task."下一次你面对一个复杂的任务时，尝试听听这样的音乐"符合语境。故选E。

【57题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：1912年在瑞典举行的奥运会，是第一次有来自当时被认为是五大洲：非洲、亚洲、欧洲、大洋洲和美洲的运动员参加的奥运会。引导宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，指物应用what。故填what。

【64题详解】
考查时态。句意：顾拜旦选择了六种正式的奥林匹克标志颜色——蓝、黄、黑、绿、红和白（作为背景颜色），因为当他在1913年引入奥林匹克标志时，每一面参加奥运会的国家的国旗都可以用这六种颜色来重现奥林匹克标志。根据后文when he introduced the symbol in 1913可知用一般过去时。故填chose。
【65题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：顾拜旦选择了六种正式的奥林匹克标志颜色——蓝、黄、黑、绿、红和白（作为背景颜色），因为当他在1913年引入奥林匹克标志时，每一面参加奥运会的国家的国旗都可以用这六种颜色来重现奥林匹克标志。分析句子结构可知participate应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语nations构成主动关系，故用现在分词作定语。故填participating。

I started to think of my mother. She got dementia (痴呆)in the early stage. How could I leave her to take care of herself? I was a wife and a mother who worked full-time. The answer was simple: I couldn't.I knew I had to act to keep her safe just like she protected me when she took my tiny hand and walked me to the kindergarten.
译文：我开始想起我的母亲。她早期得了痴呆症。我怎么能让她自己照顾自己呢?我是一个全职工作的妻子和母亲。答案很简单:我不能。我知道我必须采取行动保护她的安全，就像她牵着我的小手送我去幼儿园时保护我一样。

More tears from Amanda. Then she said, “I know you don't know me, but I'm very responsible.I would never do any harm to your mother, and I want so badly to be a nurse.” We talked a lot and finally I believed her and gave her my mother’s address.
译文：阿曼达流下了更多的眼泪。然后她说:“我知道你不了解我，但我很负责任。我永远不会伤害你的母亲，我非常想成为一名护士。”我们谈了很多，最后我相信了她，把我母亲的地址给了她。

【参考范文】
The first night I went to my mom’s, I was very anxious. Was Amanda everything her references said? Did I find a good solution? There were butterflies fluttering in my stomach. Unannounced, I stopped by the next day and stole a glance at the large picture window. There sat my mom having lunch with Amanda. I moved away from the window and rang the doorbell so I wouldn’t make anyone frightened when using my house key. “It's me -Han-rah!” I shouted.
译文：我去妈妈家的第一个晚上，我非常焦虑。阿曼达的推荐人都说了吗?我找到好的解决方案了吗?我心里七上八下。第二天，我不期而至，偷偷地看了一眼大落地窗。我妈妈和阿曼达坐在那里吃午饭。我离开窗户，按响了门铃，这样我用我家钥匙时就不会吓到别人了。“是我——汉——拉!”我叫道。
Amanda met me at the door. Amanda said, “Are you hungry? I made plenty of food for your mother.” I joined them at the table, where conversation flowed freely, Amanda was more than considerate beyond her promise. When Amanda graduated, I welcomed another four nurses who kept my mom company. My mother en-joyed her old age in the company of the kind nurses. I was thankful for what all of them had done. A simple walk by the canal that day, observing another mother and daughter, helped me see that I had done the best I could.
译文：阿曼达在门口接我。阿曼达说:“你饿吗?我给你妈妈做了很多吃的。”我和他们一起坐在桌子旁，谈话自由自在，阿曼达的体贴超出了她的承诺。阿曼达毕业后，我又迎来了四位护士，她们一直陪伴着我妈妈。我母亲在好心的护士们的陪伴下度过了她的晚年。我很感激他们所有人所做的一切。那天在运河边散步，观察另一对母女，让我意识到自己已经尽力了。
