HSK TEST and HSKK TEST are both the internationally standardized tests that focus on the ability of candidates whose Chinese is not their first language to use Chinese for communication in life, study and work.
According to China’s Ministry of Education, any foreign students to be enrolled in Chinese university should at least hold a HSK Level 4 certificate.
Learners who want to apply for the Confucius Institute Scholarships should take the score reports of both HSK and HSKK.
All test takers taking HSK abroad are eligible (合格) to apply for the Chinese Test Summer Camp to experience Chinese culture and learn Chinese in a short period in China.
HSK and HSKK scores are valid for a long time. As a proof of the Chinese language ability of foreign students entering Chinese colleges and universities, the scores are valid for two years (counting from the day of the test).
HSK TEST
Test levels include HSK (Level 1), HSK (Level 2), HSK (Level 3), HSK (Level 4). HSK (Level 5) and HSK (Level 6).
Exam Object: HSK (Level 4) is mainly for candidates who have learned Chinese for four semesters (two academic years) with a schedule of 2-4 class hours per week and mastered 1, 200 commonly used words.
HSKK TEST
HSKK Test is designed to test the ability to express oneself orally in Chinese and includes the HSKK (Elementary), HSKK (Intermediate) and HSKK (Advanced).
Exam Object: HSKK (Intermediate) is mainly for candidates who have leaned Chinese for one to two academic years at a schedule of 2-3 class hours per week and master about 900 of the most commonly used words.

My hands were shaking uncontrollably. I tried incredibly hard to focus on the words that I spent hours putting down on paper. I tried to conquer my fear of speaking in public on numerous occasions throughout my life. During college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting. Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember.
Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters. At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work.
It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out. Science has made this country a place where dreams come true — this is why we all need to protect science. In addition, as a science writer, I try to get readers to understand how science is related to their daily lives.
So I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April — Earth Day. Despite the body shakes and fear, I persevered. That day, I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort.
Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me. At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures.
24.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “nemesis” in Para. 1
A.Strength. B.Confusion C.Preference. D.Struggles.
25.What happened to the author when leaving Toastmasters
A.Things got worse for him. B.Nervousness remained with him.
C.He became a polished writer. D.He began to feel more competitive.
26.What made the author want to speak out on Earth Day
A.He must rise up to defend science.
B.It was a good chance to learn science.
C.It was a project organized by Toastmasters.
D.He couldn’t have people attacking his fellow scientists.
27.What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech
A.Frustration can be a stepping stone to success.
B.Love motivates us to achieve the unachievable.
C.Science can lead us to make wonderful changes.
D.Any difficulty can be overcome with great effort.
C
Research has shown that behavioral signaling is largely universal — not only across cultures, but across species. Based on this knowledge, Cogito Corp has created an artificial intelligence (AI) technology to analyze behavioral and vocal cues to provide in-the-moment guidance during conversations, making individuals more emotionally intelligent.
“Artificial intelligence continues to have a transformational effect across industries. One area we see specific accelerated advancement in with this technology, is machine learning,” said Dr. John Kane of Cogito. “Much of the advancement in machine learning is due to the fact that it’s not far removed from our daily lives. Take Amazon’s Alexa as a household example: Alexa can recognize and respond to whispered speech for voice commands, made possible through machine learning advancement,” Kane continued. He also pointed out that “media has built unrealistic expectations in the minds of the general public when it comes to AI, where in fact, machine learning algorithms are still generally developed for narrowly defined purposes.”
Cogito was founded with the mission of helping humans communicate with more emotional intelligence. Presently, it helps individuals across enterprise-level organizations, mainly in the insurance, healthcare and financial service industries, create stronger customer service outcomes with the help of the Cogito AI coach. “Our goal is to provide in-the-moment guidance to individuals within enterprise call centers so they can adjust their behavior and improve customer experiences,” Kane said.
Cogito’s AI technology aims to offer a win-win-win model for companies — improving agent performance so that employees are more occupied with their work, customers are more satisfied and the company is more productive. Cogito’s in-the-moment guidance identifies patterns and cues that may be easily overlooked, giving consistent recommendations to agents in real time. This focused level of analysis helps managers coach high-performing agents to be more consistent and low-performing agents to identify areas for improvement — positively impacting companies.
Looking to the future, Cogito’s CEO and co-founder, Joshua Feast, sees an opportunity to own the AI coaching space. AI coaches guide humans to improve their individual and team performance, resulting in a more productive, emotionally intelligent and successful workforce.
28.What’s the main reason for machine learning’s advancement
A.Its connections with our daily lives.
B.Its being a basic area of AI technology.
C.An increasing demand for the technology.
D.Media’s efforts to promote the technology.
29.What do you know about AI from Kane’s words
A.It has wider uses than expected.
B.What it can do now may be overestimated.
C.It is far from familiar to the public.
D.Most advanced AI technologies remain unknown to the public.
30.Why was Cogito established
A.To bring greater advancement in machine learning.
B.To reveal the behavioral differences between humans.
C.To make humans more emotionally intelligent in conversations.
D.To help companies monitor and measure employees’ work performance.
31.What can be inferred about Cogito’s AI technology
A.It faces a lot of challenges.
B.It seems to have a bright future.
C.It may replace the human workforce sooner or later.
D.It is disadvantageous to low-performing employees.
D
A young Dutch inventor is widening his effort to clean up floating(浮动的) plastic from the Pacific Ocean. He has developed a floating device(设备) to trap plastic waste moving into rivers before it reaches the oceans.
Boyan Slat was just 18 years old when he invented a system for catching waste in the ocean. He also founded an environmental group called “The Ocean Cleanup”. Its purpose is to develop the system. Last year, Slat showed the next step: a floating device called Interceptor. It removes plastic out of rivers. The device is powered by energy from the sun. “The 1,000 rivers are responsible for about 80% of plastic going into the world’s oceans,” said Slat. Three of the machines have already been used. Each machine costs about $ 775,660, but the cost might drop as production increases.
Since they were used, the machines have been doing very well, collecting the plastic bottles and all the rubbish in the rivers. According to Slat, it is necessary to close “the tap”, which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place. He wanted to clean them all in the next five years. “This is not going to be easy, but if we do get this done, we could truly make our oceans again,” said Slat.
The device is designed to be safe in rivers. Its nose is shaped to change directions to keep it away from larger floating things. It works by guiding plastic waste into an opening in the front of the device. The waste is then carried inside the machine where it is dropped into containers. The device sends a text message to local operators that can come and empty it when it is full.
32. What do we know about Interceptor
A.It is being under test.
B.It can help sort waste.
C.It needs solar power to work.
D.It is mainly used in the oceans.
33. What does “the tap” refer to in paragraph 3
A.The rivers.
B.The machines.
C.The oceans.
D.The waste.
34. What’s the function of the device’s nose
A.To empty the waste.
B.To serve as containers.
C.To ensure the device’s safety.
D.To send operators text messages.
35. Where is the text most likely from
A.A diary.
B.A guidebook.
C.A novel.
D.A magazine.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Many find it easy to fall asleep during a long bus trip. But why ____36____ The first of them is a noise called white noise, which is a type of noise produced by combining sounds with different frequencies together. Buses are often crowded every day with people going to and from work. ____37____ They produce consistent noises, like the hum of tires or the purring (嗡嗡声) of the engine.
Another popular view on why it’s easy to fall asleep on buses is because of the rocking motion. “The motion of buses resembles a mother swaying a baby in her arms.” Frankie Chow, founder of Ulu Travel Agency, told The Washington Post. However, it’s not exactly the rocking movement that induces sleep. ____38____ If you were rocked to sleep as a baby, you’d associate that rocking motion with going to sleep.
____39____ Hence, long period of inactivity slows your brain activity down because there’s no stimulus to keep it awake. You just sit down and enjoy the scenery as the vehicle moves along the road. Basically, you’re away from the things that keep your mind and your physical body busy.
With a continuous stream of passengers getting on the bus, the oxygen on the bus will get thinner. ____40____ This reduces oxygen to the brain and slows it down, causing people to feel sleepy.
A.Here are a few tips to help you stay awake.
B.Fresh air is necessary for every human being.
C.On buses, you don’t move around very much.
D.According to a survey, there are several possible reasons.
E.Rather, it’s the association between rocking and sleeping.
F.Therefore, they are the perfect environment for such noise.
G.Carbon dioxide increases when there are lots of people in a small place.

One of my neighbors used to have a beautiful tree in her front yard. Her dad had planted it for her when it was ____41____ a little branch and several years later it started to ____42____ towards the sky at an amazing speed. Soon it ____43____ her with cooling shade in the summer and glorious, golden leaves in the fall.
When the two-day snowstorm struck our town, heavy snow fell on the tree’s branches that were still full of leaves. The weight split that lovely tree down the middle. I was so ____44____ seeing half of it lying on the ground after the storm. When I talked to my neighbor later, she said that the damage had been too much and that the entire tree would have to be cut down. ____45____ , she had saved a few seedlings from it that she hoped to replant in the future.
Still, it was a(n) ____46____ to drive by her house the other day and see nothing but a stump(树桩) in her front yard. I missed that tree. I missed its branches, its leaves ____47____ in the afternoon sun. I missed seeing its limbs reach towards the heavens. I thought that the stump would be a sad reminder of its ____48____ for a long time to come.
My wonderful neighbor had another plan, ____49____ . When I drove by her home today I saw a tiny bird feeder sitting on that stump and a colorful songbird having its dinner. It was such an affirmation(肯定) of ____50____ . It was such a joy to ____51____ .
Life by its very nature is a ____52____ bag. It hands us both beauty and ____53____ , love and loss, pleasure and pain. What we do with it, however, is up to us. We can let it split us in two, or we can use even its ____54____ times to make our souls stronger and our hearts more loving. We can spend it complaining or we can ____55____ it to help others.

For as long as I could remember, I had wanted to travel into the Amazon jungle. During the last summer break at university, I decided to travel there. I didn’t have much money. So I found the least expensive flight to Lima, Peru. Once there, I planned on traveling to the town of La Merced. To get there, however, I had to take a taxi for the next fourteen hours.
By the time I reached La Merced, I found a hotel and asked the man at the front desk if there were any travel routes into the jungle. His simple answer was “no”. In fact, there was no way to go farther into the jungle except by hiring a boat to travel down the Amazon. However, I found that an impossible choice.
At that point, I decided to go out and get something to eat. I had walked less than a minute from the hotel when a rainstorm swept across the town. I raced ahead to the closest restaurant to get out of the rain.
I took a table by myself and ordered a meal. I was very tired. I was also feeling sorry for myself. I had flown down to Peru and then taken a fourteen—hour journey in a taxi only to discover there was no way to get into the jungle.
Then, I saw an old man. He headed over to my table. “Hi, my name’s Fritz,” he said in English. With a smile, I introduced myself and we talked for half an hour. I told him my story. He could see I was tired and unhappy, and his eyes softened as he listened.
“Come with me and stay with me and my wife Helga at our home in the jungle. We have a coffee plantation (种植园) there. You can stay as long as you’d like. At six o’clock tomorrow morning, I’ll pick you up at the hotel and take you on a trip into the jungle,” Fritz said.
“Thank you very much,” I said. “Six o’clock tomorrow morning.”
Honestly, I didn’t expect he would appear.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

M: Oh dear! Was anyone else hurt
W: Yes, sadly. My mum has broken her leg. My sister wasn’t hurt though. The driver of the other car, called Mr. White was pretty badly injured. He hurt his back. A policeman took all of our words, and then Mr. White went to hospital in an ambulance.
M: Do you know why Mr. White crashed into your car, Jessie
W: Yes. He explained he didn’t see the traffic lights turn red, so he drove through instead of stopping.

【原文】W: Welcome to Student Life! Today we're going to talk about setting up a project of student jobs in your school. Having students do different jobs around the school is a great way to prepare them for life in the real world. It encourages them to be responsible and also helps them learn new tasks and gain experience. However, it's important to get students excited about the project, so the first thing you should do is let students know this project. Get the headmaster to make an announcement explaining the project. OK Then decide on the jobs you want and write out the descriptions of the skills and responsibilities needed for each position. Some typical jobs are Classroom Assistants. Recycling Officers and Computer Assistants. Next, ask students to apply for the jobs. Students should be encouraged to write letters of application for the job they are interested in. This is a great way to practice letter writing skills! And don't forget, you should make sure that students are guided by a teacher so that they take their responsibilities seriously. A committee then reviews all the application sand gives jobs to the most suitable applicants. Finally, it's important to get opinions from the students about the project, to find out which jobs are successful and which don't go so well.

22.细节理解题。根据HSKK TEST部分中的“HSKK Test is designed to test the ability to express oneself orally in Chinese and includes the HSKK (Elementary), HSKK (Intermediate) and HSKK (Advanced). (HSKK考试旨在测试用汉语口头表达自己的能力,包括HSKK(初级),HSKK(中级)和HSKK(高级))”可知,HSKK Test包含三级。故选A项。
23.推理判断题。根据首段中的“HSK TEST and HSKK TEST are both the internationally standardized tests that focus on the ability of candidates whose Chinese is not their first language to use Chinese for communication in life, study and work.(HSK考试和HSKK考试都是国际标准化的考试,侧重于汉语不是第一语言的考生在生活,学习和工作中使用汉语进行交流的能力)”可知,本文介绍的是关于HSK TEST 和 HSKK TEST的考试信息,都是针对海外的学生。由此推知,文章很可能在关于海外学习的网站上,其他的艺术展览馆,城内地铁,初级教学课本都不符合文章主题。故选D项。
B
My hands were shaking uncontrollably. I tried incredibly hard to focus on the words that I spent hours putting down on paper. I tried to conquer my fear of speaking in public on numerous occasions throughout my life. During college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting. Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember.
Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters. At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work.
It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out. Science has made this country a place where dreams come true — this is why we all need to protect science. In addition, as a science writer, I try to get readers to understand how science is related to their daily lives.
So I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April — Earth Day. Despite the body shakes and fear, I persevered. That day, I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort.
Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me. At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures.
24.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “nemesis” in Para. 1
A.Strength. B.Confusion C.Preference. D.Struggles.
25.What happened to the author when leaving Toastmasters
A.Things got worse for him. B.Nervousness remained with him.
C.He became a polished writer. D.He began to feel more competitive.
26.What made the author want to speak out on Earth Day
A.He must rise up to defend science.
B.It was a good chance to learn science.
C.It was a project organized by Toastmasters.
D.He couldn’t have people attacking his fellow scientists.
27.What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech
A.Frustration can be a stepping stone to success.
B.Love motivates us to achieve the unachievable.
C.Science can lead us to make wonderful changes.
D.Any difficulty can be overcome with great effort.
【答案】24.D 25.B 26.D 27.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是作者在一次偶然的机会为了科学而去发表公开演讲,使得他自己战胜了对公开演讲的恐惧心理,同时也悟出了一个道理:激情可以燃起心中的火焰,实现自己不能实现的成就。
24.词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“During college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting.(在大学期间和我的前几份工作中,当我不得不做演讲或主持会议时,我会变得非常紧张)”可知,在大学期间和工作之初,一到开会或者是公开演讲就会紧张。由此可知,公开演讲是作者一直感到困难的事情。划线词nemesis与struggles(难事)意思接近。故选D项。
25.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work.(在每次会议上,我们都会被评分,并被迫与其他演讲者竞争奖项。你可能会认为我会作为一个优雅的演讲者离开这些经历,但似乎没有任何效果)”可推知,作者经常参加一些演讲比赛,但仍然没有改变自己紧张的状况。故选B项。
26.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out.(直到最近,当科学和科学机构在大流行期间因不公平的原因受到攻击时,我才决定我必须大声疾呼)”可知,因为科学和科学机构遭到了不公平的攻击,所以作者站出来捍卫科学。故选D项。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures.(快四十岁时,我了解到激情可以在我心中点燃火焰,去做我做梦都想不到的事情。导致我演讲的黑暗肯定会带来新的机会和冒险)”可推知,作者感悟到激情能够点燃内心的火焰,实现自己曾经无法实现的事情。故选B项。
C
Research has shown that behavioral signaling is largely universal — not only across cultures, but across species. Based on this knowledge, Cogito Corp has created an artificial intelligence (AI) technology to analyze behavioral and vocal cues to provide in-the-moment guidance during conversations, making individuals more emotionally intelligent.
“Artificial intelligence continues to have a transformational effect across industries. One area we see specific accelerated advancement in with this technology, is machine learning,” said Dr. John Kane of Cogito. “Much of the advancement in machine learning is due to the fact that it’s not far removed from our daily lives. Take Amazon’s Alexa as a household example: Alexa can recognize and respond to whispered speech for voice commands, made possible through machine learning advancement,” Kane continued. He also pointed out that “media has built unrealistic expectations in the minds of the general public when it comes to AI, where in fact, machine learning algorithms are still generally developed for narrowly defined purposes.”
Cogito was founded with the mission of helping humans communicate with more emotional intelligence. Presently, it helps individuals across enterprise-level organizations, mainly in the insurance, healthcare and financial service industries, create stronger customer service outcomes with the help of the Cogito AI coach. “Our goal is to provide in-the-moment guidance to individuals within enterprise call centers so they can adjust their behavior and improve customer experiences,” Kane said.
Cogito’s AI technology aims to offer a win-win-win model for companies — improving agent performance so that employees are more occupied with their work, customers are more satisfied and the company is more productive. Cogito’s in-the-moment guidance identifies patterns and cues that may be easily overlooked, giving consistent recommendations to agents in real time. This focused level of analysis helps managers coach high-performing agents to be more consistent and low-performing agents to identify areas for improvement — positively impacting companies.
Looking to the future, Cogito’s CEO and co-founder, Joshua Feast, sees an opportunity to own the AI coaching space. AI coaches guide humans to improve their individual and team performance, resulting in a more productive, emotionally intelligent and successful workforce.
28.What’s the main reason for machine learning’s advancement
A.Its connections with our daily lives.
B.Its being a basic area of AI technology.
C.An increasing demand for the technology.
D.Media’s efforts to promote the technology.
29.What do you know about AI from Kane’s words
A.It has wider uses than expected.
B.What it can do now may be overestimated.
C.It is far from familiar to the public.
D.Most advanced AI technologies remain unknown to the public.
30.Why was Cogito established
A.To bring greater advancement in machine learning.
B.To reveal the behavioral differences between humans.
C.To make humans more emotionally intelligent in conversations.
D.To help companies monitor and measure employees’ work performance.
31.What can be inferred about Cogito’s AI technology
A.It faces a lot of challenges.
B.It seems to have a bright future.
C.It may replace the human workforce sooner or later.
D.It is disadvantageous to low-performing employees.
【答案】28.A 29.B 30.C 31.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Cogito Corp开发了一种人工智能技术,可以分析行为和声音线索,在对话中提供即时指导,使个人的情商更高,以及Cogito人工智能技术未来的前景。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Much of the advancement in machine learning is due to the fact that it’s not far removed from our daily lives.”(机器学习的进步很大程度上是因为它离我们的日常生活不远。)可知,机器学习进步的主要原因是它与我们日常生活的联系紧密。故选A项。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段中Kane的话“He also pointed out that ‘media has built unrealistic expectations in the minds of the general public when it comes to AI, where in fact, machine learning algorithms are still generally developed for narrowly defined purposes.’”(他还指出,“在谈到人工智能时,媒体在公众心中建立了不切实际的期望,事实上,机器学习算法通常仍是为狭隘的目的而开发的。”)可知,人工智能现在的能力可能被高估了。故选B项。
30.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Cogito was founded with the mission of helping humans communicate with more emotional intelligence.”(Cogito成立的宗旨是帮助人们以更高的情商交流。)可知,Cogito成立是为了让人类在对话中更有情商。故选C项。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Looking to the future, Cogito’s CEO and co-founder, Joshua Feast, sees an opportunity to own the AI coaching space. AI coaches guide humans to improve their individual and team performance, resulting in a more productive, emotionally intelligent and successful workforce.”(展望未来,Cogito的首席执行官兼联合创始人Joshua·Feast看到了拥有人工智能教练领域的机会。人工智能教练指导人类提高个人和团队表现,从而形成更高效、情商更高、更成功的员工队伍。)可知,关于Cogito的人工智能技术,我们可以推断出它似乎有一个光明的未来。故选B项。
D
A young Dutch inventor is widening his effort to clean up floating(浮动的) plastic from the Pacific Ocean. He has developed a floating device(设备) to trap plastic waste moving into rivers before it reaches the oceans.
Boyan Slat was just 18 years old when he invented a system for catching waste in the ocean. He also founded an environmental group called “The Ocean Cleanup”. Its purpose is to develop the system. Last year, Slat showed the next step: a floating device called Interceptor. It removes plastic out of rivers. The device is powered by energy from the sun. “The 1,000 rivers are responsible for about 80% of plastic going into the world’s oceans,” said Slat. Three of the machines have already been used. Each machine costs about $ 775,660, but the cost might drop as production increases.
Since they were used, the machines have been doing very well, collecting the plastic bottles and all the rubbish in the rivers. According to Slat, it is necessary to close “the tap”, which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place. He wanted to clean them all in the next five years. “This is not going to be easy, but if we do get this done, we could truly make our oceans again,” said Slat.
The device is designed to be safe in rivers. Its nose is shaped to change directions to keep it away from larger floating things. It works by guiding plastic waste into an opening in the front of the device. The waste is then carried inside the machine where it is dropped into containers. The device sends a text message to local operators that can come and empty it when it is full.
32. What do we know about Interceptor
A.It is being under test.
B.It can help sort waste.
C.It needs solar power to work.
D.It is mainly used in the oceans.
33. What does “the tap” refer to in paragraph 3
A.The rivers.
B.The machines.
C.The oceans.
D.The waste.
34. What’s the function of the device’s nose
A.To empty the waste.
B.To serve as containers.
C.To ensure the device’s safety.
D.To send operators text messages.
35. Where is the text most likely from
A.A diary.
B.A guidebook.
C.A novel.
D.A magazine.
【答案】32.C 33.A 34.C 35.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍荷兰年轻发明家发明的一种移除河流中塑料垃圾的机器。
32. C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The device is powered by energy from the sun.”可知,这台设备是以太阳能为动力的。
33. A 推理判断题。根据第三段的内容,尤其是“which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place”可知,Slat认为如果减少河里的垃圾,就能阻止垃圾进入海洋,此处close “the tap”是比喻说法,因此the tap指的是河流。
34. C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The device is designed to be safe in rivers. Its nose is shaped to change directions to keep it away from larger floating things.”可知,这个装置在河里是安全的,因为它的头部在碰到较大的漂浮物时会转变方向,故选C项。
35. D 文章出处题。本文是一篇科技类说明文,可能出自杂志。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Many find it easy to fall asleep during a long bus trip. But why ____36____ The first of them is a noise called white noise, which is a type of noise produced by combining sounds with different frequencies together. Buses are often crowded every day with people going to and from work. ____37____ They produce consistent noises, like the hum of tires or the purring (嗡嗡声) of the engine.
Another popular view on why it’s easy to fall asleep on buses is because of the rocking motion. “The motion of buses resembles a mother swaying a baby in her arms.” Frankie Chow, founder of Ulu Travel Agency, told The Washington Post. However, it’s not exactly the rocking movement that induces sleep. ____38____ If you were rocked to sleep as a baby, you’d associate that rocking motion with going to sleep.
____39____ Hence, long period of inactivity slows your brain activity down because there’s no stimulus to keep it awake. You just sit down and enjoy the scenery as the vehicle moves along the road. Basically, you’re away from the things that keep your mind and your physical body busy.
With a continuous stream of passengers getting on the bus, the oxygen on the bus will get thinner. ____40____ This reduces oxygen to the brain and slows it down, causing people to feel sleepy.
A.Here are a few tips to help you stay awake.
B.Fresh air is necessary for every human being.
C.On buses, you don’t move around very much.
D.According to a survey, there are several possible reasons.
E.Rather, it’s the association between rocking and sleeping.
F.Therefore, they are the perfect environment for such noise.
G.Carbon dioxide increases when there are lots of people in a small place.
【答案】36.D 37.F 38.E 39.C 40.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在长途汽车旅行中人们容易睡着的原因。
36.根据“Many find it easy to fall asleep during a long bus trip. But why (许多人发现在长途汽车旅行中很容易睡着。但是为什么呢 )”,以及第二段首句“The first of them is a noise called white noise, which is a type of noise produced by combining sounds with different frequencies together. (第一种是白噪声,它是一种由不同频率的声音组合而成的噪声)”可知,这里为承上启下句,引出下文解释人们在长途旅行中容易睡着的原因。D项“According to a survey, there are several possible reasons. (根据一项调查,有几个可能的原因)”符合语境。故选D。
37.根据“Buses are often crowded every day with people going to and from work.(公共汽车每天都很拥挤,人们上下班)”以及“They produce consistent noises, like the hum of tires or the purring (嗡嗡声) of the engine.(它们产生一致的声音,像轮胎的嗡嗡声或引擎的嗡嗡声呼噜声)”可知,拥挤的人群以及引擎的噪音,构成了汽车上的噪音环境。因此此处是在解释长途汽车上拥挤的结果。F项“Therefore, they are the perfect environment for such noise.(因此,他们是这种噪音的完美环境)”符合语意。故选F。
38.根据“However, it’s not exactly the rocking movement that induces sleep.(然而,并不是摇晃的运动导致了睡眠)”以及下句“If you were rocked to sleep as a baby, you’d associate that rocking motion with going to sleep.(如果你像婴儿一样被摇晃着入睡,你会把摇晃的动作与入睡联系起来)”可知,两句是完全相反的观点。E项“Rather, it’s the association between rocking and sleeping(相反,它是摇晃和睡眠之间的联系)”。能够把前后两句通过转折的方式衔接起来,符合语意。故选E。
39.根据“Hence, long period of inactivity slows your brain activity down because there’s no stimulus to keep it awake.(因此,长时间的不活动会减缓你的大脑活动,因为没有刺激让它保持清醒)”,由Hence(因此)可知,此处在讲述长时间不活动的场景,继而描述结果。C项“On buses, you don’t move around very much.(在公共汽车上,你不会经常走动)”符合语意,故选C。
40.根据最后一段首句“With a continuous stream of passengers getting on the bus, the oxygen on the bus will get thinner.(随着不断有乘客上车,车上的氧气会越来越稀薄)”以及下句“This reduces oxygen to the brain and slows it down, causing people to feel sleepy.(这会减少向大脑输送的氧气并使其减慢,导致人们感到困倦)”可知,伴随着二氧化碳增加导致长途车上氧气减少。选项G“Carbon dioxide increases when there are lots of people in a small place.(当很多人聚集在一个小地方时,二氧化碳就会增加)”符合语意。故选G。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了2020年《感动中国》节目中两位获奖者的情况。
56.考查定语从句。句意:感动中国奖自2003年起每年举办一次,表彰10位由人们精心挑选的中国模范人物。非限制性定语从句的先行词为The “Touching China” award,且在定语从句中充当主语,需要用which。故填which。
57.考查非谓语动词。句意见上题。selected做后置定语,修饰ten of China’s role models,且与其为被动关系。故填selected。
58.考查名词。句意:十大榜样之一,王海,是前MiG-15战斗机飞行员和空军指挥官,领导人民空军青年1旅在抗美援朝战争中与美国空军进行了80多场激烈的战斗。由前文的冠词a可知,此处要用可数名词单数commander。故填commander。

60.考查非谓语动词。句意:叶家英是中国古典文学的专家,为中国文化的传播做出了重要贡献。分析句子结构,is是句子的谓语动词,空处需要填非谓语动词作定语,Ye Jiaying与make为主动关系,需要填现在分词形式。故填making。
61.考查介词。句意:毫无疑问,这些杰出的人可以对我们的国家产生杰出的影响。空处为固定搭配make an influence on …对……产生影响。故填on。
62.考查冠词。句意:万作成和熊耿祥是生活在江西南昌的一对普通夫妇。由后文的可数名词单数couple可知,空处要用不定冠词,又因为ordinary首音素为元音,要用冠词an。故填an。
63.考查动词时态。句意:自2003年起,他们在江西肿瘤医院附近开设了一个露天厨房,为癌症患者提供帮助。由后文since 2003可知,空处需要用现在完成时,主语为they因此要用have operated。故填have operated。
64.考查副词。句意:到目前为止,这间厨房不仅见证了十八年来无数人的喜怒哀乐,也不断地传递着家的爱和温暖。由句意可知,空处要用副词修饰动词conveyed。故填continuously。
65.考查动词语态。句意:有些疾病不能治愈,但是病人可以吃得更好,家庭成员可以少一些遗憾。cure与主语diseases为被动关系,且上文有情态动词can’t。故填be cured。

Dear Mike,
I’m sorry to learn that you have been suffering from headaches, which prevent you from performing well in your work. Worse still, you haven’t got better after taking medicine.
From my perspective, Chinese medicine producing fewer side effects is superior to western medicine to some extent. In addition, Chinese medicine is less expensive, so you don’t need to worry about your budget. I believe the treatment appeals greatly to you.
I hope you will recover soon. If there is anything you need me to do, don’t hesitate to ask.

第二节 读后续写(共1小题,满分25分)
67.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。
For as long as I could remember, I had wanted to travel into the Amazon jungle. During the last summer break at university, I decided to travel there. I didn’t have much money. So I found the least expensive flight to Lima, Peru. Once there, I planned on traveling to the town of La Merced. To get there, however, I had to take a taxi for the next fourteen hours.
By the time I reached La Merced, I found a hotel and asked the man at the front desk if there were any travel routes into the jungle. His simple answer was “no”. In fact, there was no way to go farther into the jungle except by hiring a boat to travel down the Amazon. However, I found that an impossible choice.
At that point, I decided to go out and get something to eat. I had walked less than a minute from the hotel when a rainstorm swept across the town. I raced ahead to the closest restaurant to get out of the rain.
I took a table by myself and ordered a meal. I was very tired. I was also feeling sorry for myself. I had flown down to Peru and then taken a fourteen—hour journey in a taxi only to discover there was no way to get into the jungle.
Then, I saw an old man. He headed over to my table. “Hi, my name’s Fritz,” he said in English. With a smile, I introduced myself and we talked for half an hour. I told him my story. He could see I was tired and unhappy, and his eyes softened as he listened.
“Come with me and stay with me and my wife Helga at our home in the jungle. We have a coffee plantation (种植园) there. You can stay as long as you’d like. At six o’clock tomorrow morning, I’ll pick you up at the hotel and take you on a trip into the jungle,” Fritz said.
“Thank you very much,” I said. “Six o’clock tomorrow morning.”
Honestly, I didn’t expect he would appear.

For the next five days, I was treated as a special guest in his home.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
At 6:00 the next morning, I heard a car honking (呜喇叭) outside my hotel. I looked out and found Fritz sitting in a truck with a big smile. I hopped into his truck, and we were off. Within minutes, we were out of La Merced and into the jungle. The road quickly became a rough dirt road. Branches swept over the windows and frightened birds took flight as we drove through forests. After a two-hour adventure, we emerged into a clearing with a wooden house and a large vegetable garden.
For the next five days I was treated as a special guest in his home. Fritz’s wife Helga prepared meals for us. Fritz was more than anxious to show me around his coffee plantation. Their warmth and generosity were imprinted on my heart. When it came time to leave, Fritz drove me back to La Merced. As I said goodbye, I felt a wave of sadness wash over me. I realized I’d probably never see them again. I’d never forget the kindness of Fritz and Helga, and the amazing days I spent in their home.
