Len Collingwood, a clinical nurse specialist, retired on his 65th birthday. He told his wife,Sally, he would“start out as an adventure cyclist.”
Four months later, he set off on a 13,000 km cycle ride from Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia to Edinburgh, much of it roughly shadowing Marco Polo’s Silk Road. No sooner had he started out than a snowstorm hit. He hid in his tent, wearing every item of clothing he had packed. At -18℃ it was too cold to go outside to cook. He survived the next 48 hours by eating a massive bag of chocolates.
So it is a surprise to hear Collingwood say that he has never feared for his life. “Never. There’s always something to be curious about,” he says.
In 2018, he rode from Edinburgh to Istanbul to earn a place in Guinness World Records. “There are very few records a man over 60 can break,” he says. During the trip, he got a dozen flat tyres. But he fixed each one. “I’ve always been serious about purpose. If something is to be done, it is to be done properly. People go forwards and people go backwards.The difficult bit is managing the times when people go backwards,” he says. “Don’t let the moment ruin the whole thing.”
He turns 71 this year. He is about to begin the 1,407 km trip to John O’ Groats. It sounds tough but he insists “it’s just a matter of spinning (转) the wheels.” Still, they don’t spin on their own. His daughter — a yoga teacher — has suggested weights to maintain muscle mass. His son, a cyclist, keeps him up to speed on the latest technology.
Collingwood is planning new rides in France next year, and beyond that hopes “to spread my wings further. There is peace on a bicycle,” he says. “The joy is the actual doing of the activity. Going further means you’re just doing more of something you enjoy.”
4. What happened to Collingwood when his first journey had just started?
A. He lost his way in Mongolia. B. He got trapped in heavy snow.
C. He had nothing to satisfy his hunger. D. He had no clothes to protect himself from the cold
5. Which of the following can best describe Collingwood?
A. Courageous and determined. B. Generous and demanding.
C. Curious and imaginative. D. Unusual and scholarly.
6. How did Collingwood’s son help him?
A. By checking his physical condition. B. By planning the routes for him.
C. By giving him technical support. D. By accompanying him on the way.
7. What does Collingwood say about cycling?
A. It contributes to his health. B. It helps him kill boring time.
C. It calls for careful planning. D. It carries his joy forward.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章介绍了退休后的Len Collingwood进行冒险自行车之旅的故事。

【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“So it is a surprise to hear Collingwood say that he has never feared for his life.(因此，听到Collingwood说他从来没有为自己的生命担心过，真是令人吃惊)”和第五段中“He turns 71 this year. He is about to begin the 1,407 km trip to John O’ Groats. It sounds tough but he insists ‘it’s just a matter of spinning (转) the wheels.’(他今年71岁了。他即将开始1407公里的John O’ Groats之旅。这听起来很难，但他坚持认为‘这只是转动轮子的问题。’)”可知，Collingwood不畏艰难，勇于冒险且意志坚定。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“His son, a cyclist, keeps him up to speed on the latest technology.(他的儿子是一名自行车手，他让他了解最新的科技)”可知，Collingwood的儿子通过提供一些技术支持来帮助Collingwood。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The joy is the actual doing of the activity. Going further means you’re just doing more of something you enjoy.(快乐是实际做这项活动的过程。走得更远意味着你在做更多你喜欢的事情)”可知，Collingwood说自行车骑行把他的快乐带向远方，故选D。

Panama is a nation full of colorful imagery. But perhaps the most symbolic example of its liveliness is a traditional dress known as a mola.
For centuries, the Guna, a native group living in Panama and parts of neighboring Colombia, have been creating the colorful clothing. A mola, which translates to “shirt” in the Guna language, is a piece of traditional dress typically worn by women and known for its bright colors and complicated designs.
While there’s no exact record of when the first mola was made, many historians believe that the colorful custom came from a different form of art that was common within the Guna community: body painting. “At one time, the Guna people used body painting to keep away bad spirits,” says Yanelis Ledezma, a tour guide at the Museo de la Mola (MUMO) in Panama City. “Ladies would draw symbols and signs on the bodies of their family members. Eventually, these same patterns were applied to molas.”
Ledezma estimates that creating a mola can take anywhere from 60 to 80 hours of labor to sew (缝). To create each dress, women and girls use a technique called reverse appliqué, which involves mixing two or more fabrics (织物) of different colors and sewing them together. The more fabrics used, the more complex the final piece. Often, the base fabric of a piece is black to help emphasize the other colors and make them stand out on the finished dress.
The art of creating a mola is something that’s handed down from one generation of Guna women to the next. “It takes a lot of time to make a mola,” Ledezma says. “Ladies will visualize the finished mola in their mind and create everything by hand without using any sort of patterns. They visually know where to put each piece of fabric, and the result is a beautiful piece of art. To this day, the mola is more than a piece of clothing; it’s an important part of being part of the Guna community.”
8. What can we learn about the Guna?
A. They prefer vivid colors. B. They speak several languages.
C. They lived mainly in Colombia. D. They had a high-tech clothing industry.
9. Why was the mola created according to paragraph 3?
A. To appeal to tourists. B. To protect wearers against misfortune.
C. To show unique family characteristics. D. To strengthen the sense of personal identity
10. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the mola?
A. The fabrics selected for it. B. The traditional way to make it.
C. The workers cooperating on it. D. The amount of time used to make it.
11. What does Ledezma think of the mola?
A. It needs improvement. B. It is losing its features.
C. It carries cultural identity. D. It helps develop creativity.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了巴拿马的传统服饰mola。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“For centuries, the Guna, a native group living in Panama and parts of neighboring Colombia, have been creating the colorful clothing.(几个世纪以来，居住在巴拿马和邻国哥伦比亚部分地区的土著部落古纳人一直在制作彩色服装)”可知，古纳人喜欢鲜艳的颜色。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“‘At one time, the Guna people used body painting to keep away bad spirits,’ says Yanelis Ledezma, a tour guide at the Museo de la Mola (MUMO) in Panama City. ‘Ladies would draw symbols and signs on the bodies of their family members. Eventually, these same patterns were applied to molas.’(巴拿马城莫拉博物馆Museo de la Mola的导游Yanelis Ledezma说：‘曾经，古纳人用人体彩绘来驱赶恶灵。’‘女士们会在家人的尸体上画上符号和标志。最终，这些相同的模式被应用到molas上。’)”可知，人们创造molas是为了保护穿mola的人免遭厄运。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段内容，结合本段中“To create each dress, women and girls use a technique called reverse appliqué, which involves mixing two or more fabrics (织物) of different colors and sewing them together.(为了制作每一件连衣裙，妇女和女孩们使用了一种名为‘反向贴花’的技术，即将两种或两种以上不同颜色的织物混合在一起，然后将它们缝在一起)”可知，本段主要讲述制作mola的传统方法。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Ledezma说的话“To this day, the mola is more than a piece of clothing; it’s an important part of being part of the Guna community.(直到今天，mola不仅仅是一件衣服；这是成为古纳社区一员的重要组成部分)”可知，Ledezma认为mola承载着文化身份。故选C。
D
The word “robot” was coined in 1920 by the Czech writer Karel Capek. In Rossum’s Universal Robots Capek imagined artificial, fully functional servants. For most of their history, however, robots have been stupid mechanical devices, sitting out of sight in factories.
Things are starting to change, however. Robots have benefited from rapid innovations in smartphones, which brought cheap cameras and sensors, fast wireless communications and powerful, smaller computer chips. More recent advances in machine learning have added software to make robots better informed about their surroundings and equipped them to make wiser decisions. Robots are becoming so advanced as to be used for everyday life and in the coming years, will increasingly work in supermarkets, clinics, social care and much more.
They could not be coming at a better time. Many industries are facing a shortage of labour -the demand for workers has recovered much faster than expected from COVID-19 and some people have left the workforce, particularly in America. Goods delivery has grown rapidly thanks to the growth of e-commerce. Robots are now picking items off shelves and helping people pack a rising number of boxes.
And yet many people fear that robots will destroy jobs. In fact, concerns about mass unemployment are overblown. The evidence suggests robots will be damaging at first but ultimately beneficial for labour markets. Japan and South Korea have the highest level of robot usage but very strong workforces. A Yale University study that looked at Japanese manufacturing between 1978 and 2017 found that an increase of one robot unit per 1,000 workers boosted a company’s employment by 2.2%. Research from the Bank of Korea found that robotisation moved jobs away from manufacturing into other sectors, but that there was no decrease in overall vacancies (空缺).
As is to be expected, some people will be on the losing end of change even as robots make society as a whole better off, so firms and governments should recognise the value of retraining and lifelong learning. As jobs change, workers should be helped to acquire new skills, including how to work with and manage the robots that will increasingly be their workmates.
12. What can be learned about robots for most of their history?
A. They have looked quite ugly. B. They have done very complex work.
C. They have worked like humans’ friends. D. They have been kind of hidden from people.
13. What are robots like these days?
A. They are able to make their own decisions.
B. They are aware of things around them.
C. They are hard-working delivery workers.
D. They are decreasing in number during COVID-19.
14. Why are Japan and South Korea mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To compare the various roles of robots.
B. To show that robots will replace human beings.
C. To prove that robots contribute to labour markets.
D. To predict the development of robots in the future.
15. What is the author’s tone in the text?
A. Positive. B. Humorous. C. Tolerant. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章讲述了机器人进入日常生活后给人们带来的便利以及人们出现的担忧。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“For most of their history, however, robots have been stupid mechanical devices, sitting out of sight in factories. (然而，在它们的大部分历史中，机器人一直是愚蠢的机械装置，被堆放在工厂的隐蔽角落)”可知，机器人的大部分历史是被人们隐藏闲置起来的，故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“More recent advances in machine learning have added software to make robots better informed about their surroundings and equipped them to make wiser decisions. (机器学习领域的最新进展增加了软件，使机器人更好地了解周围环境，并使它们能够做出更明智的决定)”可知，现在的机器人能够感知周围的事物，故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。第四段中“The evidence suggests robots will be damaging at first but ultimately beneficial for labour markets. (有证据表明，机器人一开始将是破坏性的，但最终将有利于劳动力市场)”提到机器人最终将有利于劳动力市场,接着下文“Japan and South Korea have the highest level of robot usage but very strong workforces. (日本和韩国的机器人使用率最高，但劳动力非常强大)”提到韩国和日本的机器人使用率最高，劳动力非常强大是为了支撑上述观点，表明机器人最终将有利于劳动力市场，故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容，结合第二段末句“Robots are becoming so advanced as to be used for everyday life and in the coming years, will increasingly work in supermarkets, clinics, social care and much more. (机器人正变得如此先进，以至于可以用于日常生活，在未来几年，它们将越来越多地在超市、诊所、社会护理等领域工作)”、第三段首句“They could not be coming at a better time. (它们来的正是时候)”和第四段中“The evidence suggests robots will be damaging at first but ultimately beneficial for labour markets. (有证据表明，机器人一开始将是破坏性的，但最终将有利于劳动力市场)”可知，文章讲述了机器人进入日常生活后给人们带来的便利，对于人们认为机器人会破坏工作的担忧，作者也通过提及一些研究来证明机器人最终有利于劳动力市场，故作者的语气是积极的。故选A。

39. the 40. to present
41. exactly
42. combination
43. as 44. requirements
45. which
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了中国山水画。
【36题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：中国山水画可以被认为是中国古代艺术的最高表现形式之一。结合句意及空前的“one of the”可知，此处指“中国古代艺术的最高表现形式之一”，应用形容词最高级，故填highest。
【37题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：“山水”一词由山和水两个字组成。动词mean和characters之间是主谓关系，应用现在分词作后置定语，故填meaning。
【38题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：它与强调与自然世界的和谐的道家哲学有关。空处是定语从句的谓语部分，句子是描述一个事实，应用一般现在时，主语which指代先行词the philosophy of Daoism，表示单数意义，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填highlights。
【39题详解】

【41题详解】

【42题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。结合空前的a可知，空处应填名词作动词catch的宾语，combination结合，可数名词，此处应用单数形式，故填combination。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：中国山水画画家与书法家使用相同的材料和基本技巧，他们的作品也用相同的标准来评判。the same…as…和……一样的……，固定搭配。故填as。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：中国山水画涉及到一套复杂的平衡、构图和形式的要求。requirement要求，可数名词，由“a set of”可知应用复数形式，故填requirements。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：中国的元素理论，包括代表自然界各个部分的五种元素，被用来确定绘画中颜色的使用和元素的位置。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句吗，先行词是theory，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which，故填which。

How to Reduce Mental Internal Friction
Recently our class had a hot debate on how to reduce mental internal friction such as anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Different students held different points of view.
Some students argued that we should have positive attitudes towards our study and life. Only when we believed in ourselves could we achieve our goals. Others suggested not comparing ourselves with others because every flower has its own beauty. Besides, a top student encouraged us not to be afraid of failure, for failure is the mother of success.
Personally, I think it is unnecessary to care about others’ comments. Just focus on your own business and try to do as well as you can. He who laughs last laughs best.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
“Be quiet.” No one actually ever said that to me — in fact, it was usually the opposite “Speak up.” “What did you say?” “I couldn’t understand you.” But every time someone told me to be louder, to be clearer, I wanted to shut my mouth and never open it again.
Years of living with a lisp (口齿不清) had taught me that it was better to say nothing than to speak and risk being misunderstood, leading to embarrassment and awkwardness. As a result of my silence, I felt distanced from most of my peers, having only a few people I felt were friends. “Kathryn? Oh, she’s quiet.” That’s what most people would say when they thought of me. “Quiet” might as well have been part of my name. I was okay with that. I didn’t need to be heard.
September of last year that all changed.
I started my first day of creative writing class with Ms. Haist. She is one of those teachers you don’t feel frightened to approach; you know she will help you if you need it. I had expected to fill out plot diagrams and learn the proper way to punctuate dialogue. However, every day we would be given a different writing prompt (提示词) and then, if we wished, we could share what we had written with the class. I remember sitting and listening to others read their work, and I distinctly remember thinking: That will never be me. I’ll never have the courage to do that.
Then, one day in October, I was really pleased with what I had written, so pleased that I wanted to share. I remember my heart pounding in my chest as I raised my hand to read, and those urgent little voices in my mind listing all the reasons why it wasn’t a good idea: They won’t understand you. You have a lisp, remember? Besides, your writing isn’t that good. Be quiet. Be quiet. I was about to withdraw my hand when I met Ms. Haist’s encouraging eyes.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I swallowed the voices down and let my real voice come out.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Soon I was reading out loud nearly every day.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I swallowed the voices down and let my real voice come out. At first, my voice was very low. I read my articles carefully. After I finished the first paragraph fluently, my classmate’s eyes all looked at me with affirmation. Having finished reading this article, I was praised by Ms. Hester for the content that I wrote and the changes that I made in class. It was the first time that I had received warm applause from my teachers and classmates. When I went home, a card was found in my notebook with a sentence saying “everything is possible”. There was no doubt that it was given to me by Ms. Hester.
Soon I was reading out loud nearly every day. In the morning, I would practice my favorite novels near the grove at school, because I wanted to realize my dream. My dream is to become an announcer in the next semester, which would entitle me to share the students’ writing and my favorite articles. In class, I tried my best to seize every opportunity to improve myself. Gradually, I began to have normal conversations with my classmates and got along well with them. Everything in life was becoming more and more beautiful.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因为口齿不清，遭到同学们的嘲笑和非议，而自卑不敢开口。在老师Ms. Haist的鼓励之下，逐渐挑战自我、走出阴影、变得自信、和敢于表达自己的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我把声音咽了下去，让我真正的声音出来。”可知，第一段可描写作者战胜质疑，开始大胆阅读的表现，以及老师和同学对此的反应。
②由第二段首句内容“很快，我几乎每天都大声朗读。”可知，第二段可描写作者在发生改变之后的一些事情。
2.续写线索：口齿不清——产生自卑——同学疏远——老师鼓励——战胜自我——继续进步
3.词汇激活

①实现：realize /accomplish /implement
②得到：received /obtain/attain
