12．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text

If there is a glass half-filled with water, do you see it as half full instead of seeing it as half empty Do you believe that “Every cloud has a silver lining.” and that things mostly turn out (结果是) for the best Do you believe “Whatever will be, it will be.” If you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist (乐观主义者). You may be more likely (可能的) to be successful at work and study.
But things don’t always turn out for the best. For example, you may believe “When one door closes, another door opens.” However, in the real life, sometimes when one door closes, another door slams (砰地关上) in your face. Then what would you think
Now a book called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism has come out. It believes that defensive pessimism (防御性的悲观主义) can lead to good results. Defensive pessimism is a way to manage fear and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for things by setting low goals (目标) for themselves. They carefully think about everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to do with these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor (心理学教授), says, “What’s interesting about defensive pessimists is that they may also turn out to be very successful people. This is because they use their low opinion of the situation’s results to encourage themselves to perform (表现) better.”
Why is it likely for defensive pessimists to be successful This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists always prepare carefully and think about what might go wrong. They have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English which ask people to have a back-up plan. For example, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” and “Don’t count your chickens until they hatch.”
Each coin has two sides. Whether you’re an optimist or a pessimist, there’re advantages (有利条件) and disadvantages. Don’t feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are just a realist (现实主义者). Cheer up and be a defensive pessimist. You’re also likely to be as successful as an optimist.
14．The author describes the one with the opinion “When one door closes, another door opens.” as ________.
A．an optimist B．a realist C．a pessimist D．a professor
15．According to Lawrence Sanno, how do defensive pessimists achieve success
A．They use the final goal of each situation.
B．They use other people’s encouragement.
C．They use their own performance in work or study.
D．They use their low opinion of the situation’s results.
16．What does the underlined saying “This is not rocket science.” probably mean
A．It is difficult to believe. B．It is simple enough to understand.
C．It is a dangerous thing to do. D．It is an interesting thing to discuss.
17．What’s the passage mainly about
A．How to achieve success in life like others. B．The danger of being an optimist.
C．Advantages of being defensive pessimists. D．A book on defensive pessimism.

Like many working people, I never actually cook anything — I just don’t have the time. My mother, on the other hand, still cooks a full three-course meal every evening, but then she doesn’t have to work anymore. I usually work very long hours and now I’m writing a book in my spare time, so ready meals (即时餐) are the perfect solution — or are they
According to a study by a British market research company, we only spend 20 minutes cooking each day — 20 years ago it was an hour a day. One reason for this change is ready meals. Now you can heat up a delicious Indian, Thai, Chinese or Italian meal in the microwave (微波炉) within four minutes. What could be easier or quicker
We all know these ready meals taste delicious, but many experts now think they’re bad for our health because they often contain a lot of sugar, fat and salt. Health experts say that we shouldn’t eat ready meals too often and we need to read the labels (标签) carefully. Despite this (即便如此), people who live in the UK spend more than￡1,000,000,000 a year on ready meals and the market is growing rapidly.
People in the USA and Sweden also buy a lot of ready meals, and they’re becoming more common in Germany, France and Holland. The Spanish and Italians still cook meals by themselves, but things are beginning to change there too. My mother will never change, though — now she’s making dinner in traditional English cooking!
18．The writer leads into the topic by _______.
A．listing some numbers B．asking a question
C．offering an answer D．making a survey
19．Which of the following sentence is the experts’ opinion about ready meals
A．Ready meals are the perfect solution when people are busy working.
B．People should eat ready meals less because they are bad for health.
C．People don’t need to read the labels on ready meals carefully.
D．Ready meals are becoming more and more popular in the world.
20．The underlined word “rapidly” in Paragraph 3 means _______.
A．slowly B．quietly C．quickly D．differently
21．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A．What is ready meal B．How to cook quickly
C．What’s for dinner D．How to stay healthy
D
When I was a child, things were not good for animals. People liked visiting zoos, but I didn’t; some people might find the dolphins’ tea parties funny or the bird shows enjoyable but I didn’t. It seemed that the animals were in a circus（马戏团）.
I was upset when circus people played games on animals—men making fun of lions, girls walking on elephants, monkeys playing football and so on. I believe those things were just cold and cruel. However, we didn’t have the law（法规） to stop the bad things.
Happily, as time went by, laws were starting to play their roles in animal care and people began to stand on the animals’ side. Circuses could not use wild animals for making money any more and zoos couldn’t, either.
When my children were young, I sometimes took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in small cages and the monkeys looked bored as they sat peeling bananas. As a result, animal lovers are often against zoos. They say animals should get back to nature. However, zoo animals have a longer life. They are just not free. Yes, they are not free to be killed, not free to die of hunger or thirst. Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn’t so bad.
There are even bigger changes. Many kinds of animal-care groups keep joining in and giving help. Our thanks should go to BIAZA, an organization for saving wildlife across the world. BIAZA tells zoos what to do in special situations like the time of COVID-19; it keeps an eye on how animals live both in and out of the zoos; it studies animals and helps other animal-study programs, both in the UK and abroad; it gives animal-care talks to teach people about animals. Also, it organizes animal exchange（交换） programs between zoos to help people around the world see different animals.
Today, most zoo animals are born and grow up in large comfortable places. Kind and experienced zoo workers look after them. Sometime in the future these animals may get back to nature and really share this planet with humans. We should never stop caring about them and always remember that humans aren’t the owner of this planet.
22．From Paragraph 2, we can see that the writer believes circus animals ________.
A．were talented in games B．lived a terrible life
C．were cold and cruel D．liked working with people
23．According to the passage, BIAZA probably CANNOT ________.
A．share ideas about taking care of birds in rainforests
B．find out why an animal disappears from the world
C．close zoos because animals die when there’s COVID-19
D．borrow a panda from China and bring it to London Zoo
24．If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best (Para.1=①;Para.2=②;...Para.6=⑥)
A．①②; ③④; ⑤⑥ B．①②; ③④⑤; ⑥
C．①; ②③④⑤; ⑥ D．①; ②③④; ⑤⑥
25．According to the passage, the writer would agree that ________.
A．zoo animals should go back to nature at once
B．humans are not good at taking care of animals
C．fewer people want to visit zoos now than in the past
D．zoos now have better living environment for animals

【答案】14．A 15．D 16．B 17．C
【难度】0.4
【知识点】科普知识、说明文
【导语】本文主要介绍了防御性悲观主义的积极影响以及防御性悲观主义者为什么会成功。
14．推理判断题。根据第一段“Do you believe that ‘Every cloud has a silver lining.’ and that things mostly turn out (结果是) for the best ...If you reply ‘yes’ to all of these questions, then you are an optimist (乐观主义者).”可知，如果你相信事情大多会向好的方向发展，那么你就是一个乐观主义者。由此推知，相信“当一扇门关闭时，另一扇门就会打开”的人是乐观主义者。故选A。
15．细节理解题。根据第三段“Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor (心理学教授), says, ‘What’s interesting about defensive pessimists is that they may also turn out to be very successful people. This is because they use their low opinion of the situation’s results to encourage themselves to perform (表现) better.’”可知，Lawrence Sanno教授认为防御性悲观主义者可能成为非常成功的人，是因为他们用自己对情境结果的低评价来鼓励自己表现得更好。故选D。
16．句意猜测题。根据第四段“Why is it likely for defensive pessimists to be successful ”和“Defensive pessimists always prepare carefully and think about what might go wrong.”可知，此处在解释防御性悲观主义者成功的原因。由此推测，“This is not rocket science.”这句话表达的含义是防御性悲观主义者成功的原因很容易理解。故选B。
17．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了防御性悲观主义的积极影响以及防御性悲观主义者为什么会成功。故选C。
C
Like many working people, I never actually cook anything — I just don’t have the time. My mother, on the other hand, still cooks a full three-course meal every evening, but then she doesn’t have to work anymore. I usually work very long hours and now I’m writing a book in my spare time, so ready meals (即时餐) are the perfect solution — or are they
According to a study by a British market research company, we only spend 20 minutes cooking each day — 20 years ago it was an hour a day. One reason for this change is ready meals. Now you can heat up a delicious Indian, Thai, Chinese or Italian meal in the microwave (微波炉) within four minutes. What could be easier or quicker
We all know these ready meals taste delicious, but many experts now think they’re bad for our health because they often contain a lot of sugar, fat and salt. Health experts say that we shouldn’t eat ready meals too often and we need to read the labels (标签) carefully. Despite this (即便如此), people who live in the UK spend more than￡1,000,000,000 a year on ready meals and the market is growing rapidly.
People in the USA and Sweden also buy a lot of ready meals, and they’re becoming more common in Germany, France and Holland. The Spanish and Italians still cook meals by themselves, but things are beginning to change there too. My mother will never change, though — now she’s making dinner in traditional English cooking!
18．The writer leads into the topic by _______.
A．listing some numbers B．asking a question
C．offering an answer D．making a survey
19．Which of the following sentence is the experts’ opinion about ready meals
A．Ready meals are the perfect solution when people are busy working.
B．People should eat ready meals less because they are bad for health.
C．People don’t need to read the labels on ready meals carefully.
D．Ready meals are becoming more and more popular in the world.
20．The underlined word “rapidly” in Paragraph 3 means _______.
A．slowly B．quietly C．quickly D．differently
21．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A．What is ready meal B．How to cook quickly
C．What’s for dinner D．How to stay healthy
【答案】18．B 19．B 20．C 21．C
【难度】0.4
【知识点】食物、说明文
【导语】本文主要介绍了预制餐不健康，以及越来越多的人正在接受并享受预制餐。
18．细节理解题。根据第一段“…or are they ”可知，作者通过提问进入主题。故选B。
19．细节理解题。根据第三段“… but many experts now think they’re bad for our health because they often contain a lot of sugar, fat and salt. Health experts say that we shouldn’t eat ready meals too often and we need to read the labels carefully.”可知，专家认为人们应该少吃即食食品，因为它们对健康有害。故选B。
20．词义猜测题。此句“people who live in the UK spend more than￡1,000,000,000 a year on ready meals and the market is growing rapidly.”句意为“生活在英国的人们每年在即食食品上的花费超过1000万英镑，而且市场正在快速增长。”，由此可知，“rapidly”意为“迅速地，快速地”，故选C。
21．最佳标题。本文主要介绍了预制餐不健康，以及越来越多的人正在接受并享受预制餐，通过揭露两者的矛盾，引发了“我们该吃什么”的思考。选项C“晚饭吃什么？”最适合本文标题。故选C。
D
When I was a child, things were not good for animals. People liked visiting zoos, but I didn’t; some people might find the dolphins’ tea parties funny or the bird shows enjoyable but I didn’t. It seemed that the animals were in a circus（马戏团）.
I was upset when circus people played games on animals—men making fun of lions, girls walking on elephants, monkeys playing football and so on. I believe those things were just cold and cruel. However, we didn’t have the law（法规） to stop the bad things.
Happily, as time went by, laws were starting to play their roles in animal care and people began to stand on the animals’ side. Circuses could not use wild animals for making money any more and zoos couldn’t, either.
When my children were young, I sometimes took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in small cages and the monkeys looked bored as they sat peeling bananas. As a result, animal lovers are often against zoos. They say animals should get back to nature. However, zoo animals have a longer life. They are just not free. Yes, they are not free to be killed, not free to die of hunger or thirst. Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn’t so bad.
There are even bigger changes. Many kinds of animal-care groups keep joining in and giving help. Our thanks should go to BIAZA, an organization for saving wildlife across the world. BIAZA tells zoos what to do in special situations like the time of COVID-19; it keeps an eye on how animals live both in and out of the zoos; it studies animals and helps other animal-study programs, both in the UK and abroad; it gives animal-care talks to teach people about animals. Also, it organizes animal exchange（交换） programs between zoos to help people around the world see different animals.
Today, most zoo animals are born and grow up in large comfortable places. Kind and experienced zoo workers look after them. Sometime in the future these animals may get back to nature and really share this planet with humans. We should never stop caring about them and always remember that humans aren’t the owner of this planet.
22．From Paragraph 2, we can see that the writer believes circus animals ________.
A．were talented in games B．lived a terrible life
C．were cold and cruel D．liked working with people
23．According to the passage, BIAZA probably CANNOT ________.
A．share ideas about taking care of birds in rainforests
B．find out why an animal disappears from the world
C．close zoos because animals die when there’s COVID-19
D．borrow a panda from China and bring it to London Zoo
24．If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best (Para.1=①;Para.2=②;...Para.6=⑥)
A．①②; ③④; ⑤⑥ B．①②; ③④⑤; ⑥
C．①; ②③④⑤; ⑥ D．①; ②③④; ⑤⑥
25．According to the passage, the writer would agree that ________.
A．zoo animals should go back to nature at once
B．humans are not good at taking care of animals
C．fewer people want to visit zoos now than in the past
D．zoos now have better living environment for animals
【答案】22．B 23．A 24．B 25．D
【难度】0.4
【知识点】常见动物、记叙文
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章通过作者的亲眼所见讲述了社会对于动物的关怀从少到多的过程，并表达了作者希望与动物一起共享地球的展望。
22．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I was upset when circus people played games on animals—men making fun of lions，girls walking on elephants，monkeys playing football and so on. I believe those things were just cold and cruel.”可知，马戏团的人会在动物身上玩游戏时——男人取笑狮子，女孩踩大象，猴子踢足球等等。我认为那些事情只是冷酷和残忍。由此推断作者认为马戏团的动物过着糟糕的生活，故选B。
23．细节判断题。根据第五段可知，BIAZA告诉动物园在特殊情况下应该做什么，比如在新冠疫情期间；它密切关注动物园内外的动物生活；它研究动物并帮助其他动物研究项目；它提供动物护理讲座，让人们了解动物。此外，它还组织了动物园之间的动物交换项目。但是文中并未提到BIAZA会分享照顾雨林中鸟类的想法，故选A。
24．篇章结构题。阅读原文可知，第一段和第二段主要讲了作者小时候动物过着糟糕的生活，第三、四、五段主要讲了从过去到现在动物的遭遇在往好的方向发生着改变，第六段描述了当今动物在动物园的美好生活以及表达了对未来的展望。因此本文最好的结构为①②；③④⑤；⑥。故选B。
25．推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Today，most zoo animals are born and grow up in large comfortable places.”可知，如今大多数动物园里的动物都是在宽敞舒适的地方出生和长大的。由此可推测作者会同意“动物园现在有更好的生活环境给动物”该观点，故选D。

28 You can say, “I’ve got too much work at that time.” If you are in another city at that time, you could say, “I’m not in town on that day.”
Finally, give another time to meet. For example, if your friend asks you to go out for a drink on Friday, you could say, “I’m afraid I can’t make it on Friday. 29 ”
The event may not be important to you, but the invitation shows the host would like to share it with you. 30 Make sure everything goes well when you need to refuse an invitation.

Some scientists believe that there will be 52 (many) robots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years. These new robots will have many different shapes.

【答案】
Different uniforms show different jobs. As a doctor, I usually wear uniforms when I am at work. And I have to wear my uniforms when I am in the hospital. Here are the reasons. First, this is a rule of our hospital. Our hospital asks all the doctors and nurses to wear uniforms every day. Second, our uniforms are white and they look nice and clean.
