第一节（共11小题；每小题2.5分，满分27.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
What3words
This free download is one of a growing number of smartphone apps that could mean the difference between life and death.What3Words divides the world into 3x3 metre squares, giving each one a unique combination（组合）of three words. This allows emergency services-or anyone else you give the location to-to reach you. It is used by the vast majority of emergency services in the UK, not to mention other control centres around the world, and has been praised for saving thousands of lives.

WhatsApp
Lots of us use WhatsApp for messaging and calling, but did you know it also has a Live Location feature that can let a loved one know where you are in case you're in danger? You simply press the + key in a chat, select "Location", and then press "Share Live Location”, which enables anyone in the chat to see your location in real time for the period you choose.

Skin Vision
You will have to pay for this digital skin check app, when necessary or needed, but with about fifth of skin cancers going undiagnosed（未经诊断）during lockdown，it could be well worth it. You simply take a photo of any strange-looking part of the skin with your phone and you'll then receive a risk indication（风险迹象）within 30 seconds． This might include a recommendation to see a doctor. But don't rely on an app to comfort you-if you're worried about a skin problem, go to your doctor.

Stay Alive
With mental health problems on the increase，not helped by the pandemic（大流行病），this suicide（自杀）prevention app could be extremely helpful. Developed by Grassroots Suicide Prevention, it offers a wealth of resources, ranging from suggestions for staying at home when you feel extremely lonely and sad, to breathing exercises, to direct links to national and local crisis resources.

St John Ambulance First Aid
An app like this is more useful for saving someone else's life than your own,but it's a must-have on your smartphone. It gives advice in dealing with emergencies, including choking, allergic reactions and performing CPR. You don't have to have an Internet connection in order to use it.
21.Which app best suits people who seek advice on how to deal with emergencies?
A.WhatsApp
B. SkinVision
C. What3words
D. St John Ambulance First Aid
22.What do What3words and WhatsApp have in common?
A.They can be used to send locations.
B.They can be used to chat with friends.
C.They can inform users of medical knowledge.
D.They can be used to contact emergency services.
23.What can we know from the passage?
A. People should pay for downloading all the apps.
B. What3 Words can work without Internet connection.
C.Skin Vision can help you diagnose and cure the cancer.
D.St John Ambulance First Aid is aimed at helping others.
B
Sarah came running in." Look what I found." Over the top of the paper I was reading came a crispy long object that caused me to jump. It was a snake skin that had been shed by one of our many
garden snakes.
“Isn't it beautiful?" said my wide-eyed seven-year-old.
I stared at the organic wrapper and thought to myself that it really wasn't that beautiful, but I have learned never to appear uninterested with children. They see only good quality and excellence in the world until educated otherwise.
“Why does it do this?” Sarah asked.
“Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves,” I explained. “Why do they need to renew themselves?” Sarah asked.
I suddenly remembered an article on this page many years ago where the writer was expressing her concept of renewal. She used layers of paper over a wall to describe how we hide our original selves，and said that by peeling away（撕掉）those layers one by one，we see the original beneath. “We often need to shed our skins and those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my now absorbed daughter. “We outgrow some things and find other ones unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too crinkly（起皱的）for him，and he probably doesn’t think he looks as smart in it as he once did.”
Sarah was getting the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand, although slightly, that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and creativity, and see what we need to keep and what we need to cast off. I was careful to point out that this is a natural consequence of their growth.
“I see, Dad,” said Sarah and jumped off my lap and ran off.
I hoped she would remember this. That often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of community and culture with which we cover ourselves year after year, we need to start examining these layers. We need to gently peel some away, as we recognize them to be worthless or unnecessary；or at best，store the ones thrown away as mementoes（念想）of our promotion to a better vitality or spirit.
24.At the first sight of the snake skin, what was the author's feeling?
A. scared
B. puzzled
C. uninterested
D. excited
25.What did Sarah learn from her father?
A. Renewal is to recover the layers inside.
B. Renewal is to review what has been done.
C. Renewal is a natural part of getting mature.
D.Renewal the process of finding the unwanted.
26.What information about the author can be inferred from the passage?
A.He dislikes the snake skin at all.
B.He shows concern for nature and culture.
C. He can grasp the chance to educate children.
D. He often encourages his daughter to raise questions.
27.What does the passage mainly tell the reader?
A.Snakes cast off the layers to look smarter.
B. We should renew ourselves to get improved.
C.Snakes shed their skins to renew themselves.
D.How we should explore our original nature underneath.
C
To prepare for-real-life emergencies, rescue teams must practice. They practice putting on ice suits, working with ropes, and using hand signals to communicate. And once the lake freezes, then practice ice rescue.
On a training day, a firefighter puts on his ice suit. He then pushes air out of the ice suit. If not, the trapped air bubble could make him float. He walks out onto frozen lake to play the role of the ＂victim（受害者）”.He shakes，not from cold， but worries about not knowing when he’ll fall through! His first several steps feel solid. The ice seems thick. But 28 steps in: Crack! Water begins to come in through the ice. He slows down. At 31 steps-Plunk! He falls through the ice. He keeps him mouth shut so he doesn't swallow any water. It's time for him to pretend to be a victim, calling for help and struggling in the lake.
Two more firefighters, attached to the onshore team with ropes, walk onto the lake. They stay on different parts of the ice in case it breaks, both carrying protective equipment like a belt or a board. Meanwhile, onshore team members, wearing life vests, talk to the "victim" to keep him calm. Near the ice hole, a rescuer drops to her belly and moves slowly. The second rescuer rolls. Both methods spread out the weight so they don't also fall through the ice.
The firefighter with the board explains that they're there to help. She hands the board to the victim and tells him to catch it. The second firefighter enters the water and ties the belt securely to the victim. He gives a signal and the onshore members pulls the rope. As the rope tightens, the rescuer lifts the victim's legs so he's on his belly. Together, they sail across the ice.
Once they're on land, firefighters exchange roles. When every firefighter has had a turn at rescuing and playing "victim", they all put on warm, dry clothes and head back to the station for hot chocolate.
28.Why does the "victim" push air out of his ice suit before entering water?
A.To walk in the water.
B.To sink beneath the ice.
C.To float on the surface.
D.To approach firefighters.
29.What shouldn't the rescue members do during the practice?
A.Stay apart'on the ice surface.
B.Walk as fast as possible on ice.
C.Be careful in their each step.
D.Carry protective equipment.
30.What can we learn from the text?
A.Ice rescue only requires excellent individual skills.
B.The rescue group perform such rescue practice daily.
C.The firefighters take turns to play the part of “victim”.
D.It is unnecessary to talk to the “victim” during the rescue.
31.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Rescue on the ice
B.Practice on ice land
C.Ways of saving people
D.Bravery of firefighters
D
Which hand do you use to write your name? Which foot do you use to kick a ball? You probably use the same hand or foot. That's called your dominant side.
About 90 percent of humans are right-handed. Scientists want to know whether other animals also have dominant sides. So they give simple challenges to zoo animals and pets.
At first，chimpanzees（大猩猩） appeared to be left-handed. Dr. Hopkins watched chimpanzees as they went “ants fishing”, using sticks to pull ants out. Most of the chimps did. The job with their left hand. However, when chimpanzees ate butter from a narrow pipe, they tended to use the left hand to do the easy part (hold the pipe) and a finger on the right hand to do the hard part (reach in for the treat).
Does that mean chimpanzees are left-handed for some tasks and right-handed for others? That's not likely. Dr. Hopkins says the chimps may have used the weaker hand to pull out the ants and the dominant hand to hit the insects and put them in mouths.
Dr.Wells wondered if cats are right- or left-pawed. At the beginning. he gave the cats the simple task of moving across the floor. The cats showed no preference; they used either paw. Dr. Wells also made the cats perform given movements. The researcher dropped a small fish into a can and wrote down which paw each cat used to fish out the treat. All of the female cats except one used the right paw. For males, 19 out of 21 used the left paw. Dr. Wells tested each cat many times to make sure it readily preferred to use one paw instead of the other.
32.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “dominant” in paragraph 1?
A.gentle
B.powerful
C.opposite
D.unique
33.What can we learn from Dr. Hopkins' research?
A. Chimpanzees use right hands for tough tasks.
B.About 10 percent of humans are left-handed.
C.Chimpanzees get the treat with the weaker hands.
D.Left hands are more important in getting the butter out.
34.What did Dr.Wells probably agree with?
A.Moving across the floor was a challenging task for cats.
B.Various foods were necessary to carry out a scientific study.
C.Cats used different paws each time in the repeated tests.
D.Male and female cats had the opposite choice to get the fish.
35.As to “whether other animals also have dominant sides”, what can be inferred about the two scientists?.
A.They saw eye to eye with each other.
B.They discovered it was not a simple yes or no.
C.They raised different animals to seek the truth.
D.They worked together.to perform experiments.

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。
How to Make Sure Your Idea Doesn't Die
Getting great ideas? It's Easy. Following up on them is hard! 36
Ask “Why doesn't this work”.
Although he might have had the idea for it, Steve Jobs didn't just have the iPhone's unique touch screen in a single night. Instead, he thought about the present situation of smart phones and continually asked a single question: “Why don't they work?"_37.
38
A good routine often helps you put your ideas into action. Toni Morrison, an outstanding writer, has a more special routine centered on daylight. She rises at around 5:00 each morning to watch the dawn. For her，it’s important to wake before the light and observe the transition（转变） into day. 39. Whatever you choose as your morning routine, consider it as the reliable framework that gives you the best idea.
Don't fly alone.
When ideas meet in a shared physical or mental space, creative ideas are bound to happen-which is great. Working in a shared physical space just might help you find your ideal creative partners.40_.Besides,thcy may provide detailed focus that might not be your strong suit. Of course, partners needn't pursue everything together. A creative conversation is more useful, which can set up a series of goals toward which the individual team members are free to work on their own.
A.Make full use of your spare time
B.Never ignore the power of routine
C. They can strengthen your confidence and give some valuable suggestions
D. This one little question helped him get from an idea to a practical solution
E.He makes a great contribution to "the look and feel of the product"
F.Here are some tips to make sure your great idea becomes a reality
G. She considers it a special moment that inspires her to write

Dear Will,
Learning that you’re interested in the“Learning from Lei Feng, Sharing a Bookcase” held in our community. I’m writing to tell you something about it.
Early in the morning, people came to the scene of the event, some holding some latest best-sellers while others carrying some classic. People introduced their own donations and recommended others to give it a try while waiting in a line. Before sunset, about two thousand books were registered and sent to the community library.
Not only did the activity convey the spirits of sharing, but it also enhanced the bond among local residents. I can’t wait to borrow books from the library.

【原文】W: What are you wearing?
M: A Fitbit. It’s a watch that helps me keep track of my health.
W: How accurate do you think it actually is?
M: I’m not sure. I read a study recently that said the Fitbit’s heart rate monitor doesn’t do a great job at measuring your heartbeat during physical activity. It gives a higher reading than it should.
W: Oh, I thought it would have been the other way around.
M: Me too. Of course, Fitbit was very upset by the study and said it wasn’t true.
W: Well, a study like that will probably really hurt its business.
M: Well, their products are very popular, so people will still most likely buy them.
W: Do you wear your Fitbit often, or just when you’re exercising?
M: I wear it all day, every day. I even wear it when I’m sleeping.
W: Wow, that’s impressive. Isn’t it uncomfortable?
M: No, not at all.
W: Maybe I should get one.
M: You should. I really like mine. There are many different kinds you can choose from. They’re expensive, but I think they’re worth the money.

【原文】Duolingo is a free language-learning website and app. It offers ad-free courses for those who want to learn a new language. As of 2016, Duolingo has fifty-nine different language courses for twenty-three languages. Over 120 million people are registered with the program. Duolingo was created in 2011 by Professor Luis von Ahn and his graduate student Severin Hacker, who was born in Switzerland. Prof. Luis von Ahn was born in Guatemala, and he was upset by how expensive it was for people in his town to learn English. He wanted to create a program that offered free education to anyone in the world. Because most of the services are available free of charge, Duolingo originally used a special business model to make money. Members of the public were able to translate content and vote on correct translations. The content came from large websites such as BuzzFeed and CNN.com, which paid Duolingo to translate their webpages. Many private investors have given money to the company, including actor Ashton Kutcher’s firm. Duolingo has also been used in public schools in Costa Rica and Guatemala.
