When Ryad Alsous arrived in England, he knew one thing: he wanted to keep bees. The insects had been a major part of his life in Syria, and fleeing his war-torn homeland. It was a precious certainty amid so much chaos.
As a lecturer at the University of Damascus, Ryad had built a respected reputation for his research on Syrian bees. With over 500 hives, he produced over ten tons of honey every year. Fleeing his country in 2013, he lost everything.
Yet even with all his knowledge and experience, Ryad didn’t know if his dream would be possible in the UK. “I found that there is a lot of rain and the temperature isn’t very high. All the time I was thinking ‘How can I set up another project here ’”
The wet weather wasn’t Ryad’s only challenge. The language barrier and a vastly overqualified CV made it difficult to find work. Eventually, Ryad volunteered at the Huddersfield Beekeepers’ Association, but he was still without a colony of his own. Finally, Facebook brought him into contact with a woman in Manchester who was willing to donate an entire colony of rare British black bees.
“In one year I was able to split the colony she gave me into seven. I realised that the beekeeping project could become very profitable and successful in the UK.”
Soon, Ryad found himself with 17 hives, but he wasn’t finished yet. His inner teacher was itching to get out. Through City of Sanctuary, a British refugee charity, Ryad began to run beekeeping workshops for refugees and job seekers. The Buzz Project was born.
Today, the Buzz Project houses 14 hives, where Ryad shares his expertise. It has started to bear fruit. Last year, they produced-half ton of honey (around 1,000 jars). But for Ryad, the most important thing is bringing people together.
“We have local people, job seekers and volunteers, in addition to refugees. All of them work together doing the same job. The exchange between the groups, the information and skills, helps them integrate very well and improve their language skills” he says.
4. Why did Ryad come to England
A. To keep bees. B. To do research.
C. To seek shelter. D. To run business.
5. Which factor posed a challenge to Ryad at first
A. The hot weather. B. His poor English.
C. His inadequate qualification. D. The cultural differences.
6. What’s the meaning of the underlined part
A. He wanted to share his beekeeping skills.
B. He decided to establish a beekeeping school.
C. He wanted to expand his business.
D He decided to find a teaching job.
7. Which of the following can best describe Ryad’s character
A. Persistent and charitable. B. Ambitious and reliable.
C. Curious and responsible. D. Independent and respectably.
C
Research has shown that disrupting one's natural “morning lark” (早起鸟) or “night owl” (夜猫子) tendency can result in immoral behavior at work.
Who doesn't love a flexible work schedule Being able to make your own hours, come in when you're ready and leave when you're done, step out to attend a child's presentation at school, have a midday appointment, or even squeeze in a quick workout or nap as a guaranteed pick-me-up — flexibility greatly improves one's quality of life.
The benefits don't stop there, however. Research has shown that having flexible work hours actually makes one a better person. How so It's been found that disrupted sleep patterns —in the form of having to act outside of your normal inclination to be a morning “lark” or a night “owl” — can result in strange, unethical, and out-of-line behavior.
Science journalist Linda Geddes said, “If you don't get enough sleep, research suggests you are more likely to have unethical behavior, such as being mean, bullying your fellow employees or falsifying receipts. But it's not just owls: the larks tend to behave more unethically in the evening, and owls in the morning. So ideally, you want to introduce flexible working."
Employers would be wise to allow their employees to start whenever they feel ready — whether it's at the crack of dawn or at 11 a.m., and to allow breaks or pauses in the day as needed — because that would mean better productivity, performance, and behavior.
This shift is already happening with the New York Times recently reporting that 27 percent of US employers now offer the flexibility to work outside normal business hours, up from 22 percent in 2014; and 68 percent allow telecommuting as needed (up from 54 percent in 2014). With the national unemployment rate at its lowest in 50 years, employers are having to become more competitive in what they offer workers, and flex-hours seem like a no-brainer, highly beneficial to all.
8. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2
A. Ways to improve life quality.
B. People's activities in their free time.
C. Methods to get a flexible work schedule.
D. The advantages of flexibility in work time.
9. What does the underlined word “inclination” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Judgment. B. Tendency. C. Reaction. D. Choice.
10. What is the effect to change people's sleep pattern according to Geddes
A They will show their nature more easily.
B. They tend to suffer from sleep problems.
C. They tend to behave immorally in their work.
D. They will get more flexibility in working time.
11. What do the figures in the last paragraph indicate
A. The unemployment rate is increasing.
B. Employers are getting more free time.
C. Flexible working has been creating more jobs.
D. More employers adopt a flexible work schedule.
D
The US Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) recently asked scientists, lawyers, social scientists and other experts to consider some of these ethical dimensions. To give two examples: on privacy, as we let more listening devices into our homes, how do we prevent the data they collect falling into the wrong hands through hacking (黑客) or simply being sold between companies without us receiving any money Another example: mixed reality, including virtual reality, will become pervasive in the next few years. As we move from headsets to what the IEEE committee describes as “more subtle and integrated sensory enhancements” we will use technology to live in an illusory world in many aspects of our lives. How do we balance the rights of the individual, control over our virtual identity, and the need to live and interact on a face-to-face basis while being empowered to live rich lives in mixed reality
There is, of course, always a tension between innovation and regulation. But it can often seem that giant steps are taken in technology with minimal public discussion. Take the self-driving car: although it may be safer than human drivers and is likely to save more than a million lives a year worldwide, it will also take jobs from drivers, traffic police, sign-makers, car-repair companies, carmakers and more. Is this a bargain we want to make In taking that decision, have we given thought to a car that knows everywhere we go, decides routes, perhaps, based on paid advertisements from shops along the way—and listens and sees everything we do on board What will happen to that data and can it be kept safe
Additionally, while some worry about the uncommon “trolley problem” of whom the car should choose to hit in a freak accident—an old lady or a mother and baby—perhaps the more frequent issue will be how we find out what the algorithm (算法) was thinking at the time of an accident, because AIs (Artificial Intelligence) are self-learning and devise their own strategies.
Similar concerns are emerging over the internet of things. Robot vacuum-cleaners already plot cleaning cycles using computer-aided vision that, for some models, is relayed to their manufacturers. As more things at home become connected, they will be hackable and the data they collect sellable.
It’s time for some messy, democratic discussions about the future of AI.
12. What is the purpose of the two examples in Paragraph 1
A. To cast some light on hacking in our modern life.
B. To lead the reader to think of ethical issues brought by hi-tech.
C. To lead in the following example concerning the self-driving car.
D. To list the existing problems that caught the attention of experts.
13. What does the underlined word “pervasive” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Intelligent. B. Powerful. C. Widespread. D. Skillful.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards the big steps in technology
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Cautious. D. Unclear.
15. How does the author support his claim
A. By exposing some underlying problems in high-tech.
B. By calling on people to move away from innovation.
C. By illustrating AI’s abilities in self-learning strategies.
D. By displaying our computer-aided life in future.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)
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。
Is your key or phone missing a dozen times a day, or can’t you find the TV remote until ten minutes after a favorite show has begun Such faults might be accompanied by a nagging fear: Is something wrong with me Probably not. ____16____ But for the most part, people can overcome the tendency to misplace things. Here is some advice.
When you put something down, say its location. ____17____ You’d say, “I’m setting my mouse to the right of my computer.” And saying that, either in your mind or out loud, focuses your attention on where you put it, upping the chances that you’ll remember its location later.
Make up a song or rhyme. ____18____ You could make up a rhyme, or sub in your own lyrics to a catchy song. “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes,” and be sung into “My remote is sitting by the lamp. By the lamp.”
Take pictures. Ever wander around the parking lot because you can’t find your car Take a picture of your parking spot. The same advice applies to lots of things: Photograph all those spots where you store easy-to-lose objects. When you can’t find them, pull up the photo.
____19____ That might mean placing a basket by your front door where you drop your keys and wallet immediately upon entering your home, or labelling one drawer as the scissors drawer. Then, at the end of the day, scan the areas where you’ve been, find the items that need to be taken back home, and return them to their spots.
Be kind to yourself. It’s certainly understandable if you’re frustrated with your tendency to misplace things. But if you keep beating yourself up about and start to think that there’s something wrong with you, and you get anxious about that. When your thoughts spiral in such a manner, you’re even less likely to be able to focus and keep track of your possessions. ____20____
A. Set up a routine.
B. Make your belongings stand out.
C. So, remember to give yourself a break.
D. It’s a common occurrence and certainly annoying.
E. There are many gadgets designed to keep track of items.
F. Turn keeping track of your items into an opportunity to be creative.
G. One way to be more mindful of where your things are is to verbalize where you put them.

As I began to wade through thirteen pages of the credit-card company’s new policy, I wasn’t sure how it was going to affect me personally. As I waited to be connected to a customer service rep, I considered whether I should even write the fifth novel in my Old Cape House series. Did my readers really enjoy the mysterious historical stories I told Should I take on more debt to buy my paperback books I thought about all the author events, book signings, and book fairs that might be canceled because of the virus. When would normal life return
“Hello, Ms. Struna, this is Thomas. May I have your account information ”
After repeating the information he needed, I explained my dilemma in trying to understand the new policy and asked how it would affect my future purchases.
“Please do not worry. You will have no change.”
“Are you sure I am an author and travel frequently. I need to have access to my card at all times for big or small purchases.” I laughed to myself, thinking I wasn’t going anywhere for a while, at least until there was a vaccine.
“Let me reassure you. There will be no change to your card, but Ms. Struna, may I ask you one more question Are you the author of The Old Cape House ”
My jaw dropped. He was talking about my first novel of suspenseful historical fiction, The Old Cape House, published in 2013. I was stunned and I stammered, “Why, yes I am.” I was still skeptical about what he wanted from me.
Thomas kept talking. “I thought it was you. I recognized your name, and when you told me you were an author, I knew it was you.”
“Oh, my goodness.” My heart started to beat faster with delight at the connection I was making with an unknown foreign reader.
“Ms. Struna, your book changed me. It changed how I look at the world. It showed me ways to be more adventuresome and to be open to new things. Thank you so very much.”

When Ryad Alsous arrived in England, he knew one thing: he wanted to keep bees. The insects had been a major part of his life in Syria, and fleeing his war-torn homeland. It was a precious certainty amid so much chaos.
As a lecturer at the University of Damascus, Ryad had built a respected reputation for his research on Syrian bees. With over 500 hives, he produced over ten tons of honey every year. Fleeing his country in 2013, he lost everything.
Yet even with all his knowledge and experience, Ryad didn’t know if his dream would be possible in the UK. “I found that there is a lot of rain and the temperature isn’t very high. All the time I was thinking ‘How can I set up another project here ’”
The wet weather wasn’t Ryad’s only challenge. The language barrier and a vastly overqualified CV made it difficult to find work. Eventually Ryad volunteered at the Huddersfield Beekeepers’ Association, but he was still without a colony of his own. Finally, Facebook brought him into contact with a woman in Manchester who was willing to donate an entire colony of rare British black bees.
“In one year, I was able to split the colony she gave me into seven. I realised that the beekeeping project could become very profitable and successful in the UK.”
Soon, Ryad found himself with 17 hives, but he wasn’t finished yet. His inner teacher was itching to get out. Through City of Sanctuary, a British refugee charity, Ryad began to run beekeeping workshops for refugees and job seekers. The Buzz Project was born.
Today, the Buzz Project houses 14 hives, where Ryad shares his expertise. It has started to bear fruit. Last year, they produced-half ton of honey (around 1,000 jars). But for Ryad, the most important thing is bringing people together.
“We have local people, job seekers and volunteers, in addition to refugees. All of them work together doing the same job. The exchange between the groups, the information and skills, helps them integrate very well and improve their language skills” he says.
4. Why did Ryad come to England
A. To keep bees. B. To do research.
C. To seek shelter. D. To run business.
5. Which factor posed a challenge to Ryad at first
A. The hot weather. B. His poor English.
C. His inadequate qualification. D. The cultural differences.
6. What’s the meaning of the underlined part
A. He wanted to share his beekeeping skills.
B. He decided to establish a beekeeping school.
C. He wanted to expand his business.
D. He decided to find a teaching job.
7. Which of the following can best describe Ryad’s character
A. Persistent and charitable. B. Ambitious and reliable.
C. Curious and responsible. D. Independent and respectably.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述Ryad在英国克服重重困难，找到养蜂这一谋生之路，并帮助他人以回馈社会。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When Ryad Alsous arrived in England, he knew one thing: he wanted to keep bees. The insects had been a major part of his life in Syria, and fleeing his war-torn homeland. It was a precious certainty amid so much chaos (当Ryad Alsous到达英国时，他知道一件事：他想要养蜂。昆虫是他在叙利亚生活的重要组成部分，也是他逃离饱受战争蹂躏的家园的主要原因。在这么多的混乱中，这是一个宝贵的确定性)”可知 Ryad离开家乡主要是养蜂（干事业）。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The language barrier and a vastly overqualified CV made it difficult to find work.(语言障碍和过于合格的简历使得找工作很困难)” 可知，Ryad 初到英国时找不到合适的工作是因为语言障碍，即文化差异产生。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。划线部分前面的“Through City of Sanctuary, a British refugee charity, Ryad began to run beekeeping workshops for refugees and job seekers. (通过英国难民慈善机构“避难所之城”， Ryad开始为难民和求职者开办养蜂讲习班)”可猜测划线处意思是他想分享养蜂技巧，因此才有了慈善机构。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，战争让Ryad失去了一切，但他依然坚持初心，在异国成就了养蜂的事业，可知他是一个“意志坚定的”人。根据第六段的“Through City of Sanctuary, a British refugee charity, Ryad began to run beekeeping workshops for refugees and job seekers. (通过英国难民慈善机构“避难所之城”， Ryad开始为难民和求职者开办养蜂讲习班)”可知，Ryad热衷于帮助他人，他是一个“有慈善心”的人。故选A。
C
Research has shown that disrupting one's natural “morning lark” (早起鸟) or “night owl” (夜猫子) tendency can result in immoral behavior at work.
Who doesn't love a flexible work schedule Being able to make your own hours, come in when you're ready and leave when you're done, step out to attend a child's presentation at school, have a midday appointment, or even squeeze in a quick workout or nap as a guaranteed pick-me-up — flexibility greatly improves one's quality of life.
The benefits don't stop there, however. Research has shown that having flexible work hours actually makes one a better person. How so It's been found that disrupted sleep patterns —in the form of having to act outside of your normal inclination to be a morning “lark” or a night “owl” — can result in strange, unethical, and out-of-line behavior.
Science journalist Linda Geddes said, “If you don't get enough sleep, research suggests you are more likely to have unethical behavior, such as being mean, bullying your fellow employees or falsifying receipts. But it's not just owls: the larks tend to behave more unethically in the evening, and owls in the morning. So ideally, you want to introduce flexible working."
Employers would be wise to allow their employees to start whenever they feel ready — whether it's at the crack of dawn or at 11 a.m., and to allow breaks or pauses in the day as needed — because that would mean better productivity, performance, and behavior.
This shift is already happening, with the New York Times recently reporting that 27 percent of US employers now offer the flexibility to work outside normal business hours, up from 22 percent in 2014; and 68 percent allow telecommuting as needed (up from 54 percent in 2014). With the national unemployment rate at its lowest in 50 years, employers are having to become more competitive in what they offer workers, and flex-hours seem like a no-brainer, highly beneficial to all.
8. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2
A. Ways to improve life quality.
B. People's activities in their free time.
C. Methods to get a flexible work schedule.
D. The advantages of flexibility in work time.
9. What does the underlined word “inclination” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Judgment. B. Tendency. C. Reaction. D. Choice.
10. What is the effect to change people's sleep pattern according to Geddes
A. They will show their nature more easily.
B. They tend to suffer from sleep problems.
C. They tend to behave immorally in their work.
D. They will get more flexibility in working time.
11. What do the figures in the last paragraph indicate
A. The unemployment rate is increasing.
B. Employers are getting more free time.
C. Flexible working has been creating more jobs.
D. More employers adopt a flexible work schedule.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍改变人们天生睡眠模式的害处从而提出弹性工作时间的好处以及现在越来越多的雇主开始给员工实行弹性工作时间。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段内容以及第三段首句“The benefits don't stop there, however.(然而，好处还不止于此。)”可知，第二段主要讨论了灵活的工作时间能够带来的好处。故选D。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。文章第一段“Research has shown that disrupting one's natural “morning lark” (早起鸟) or “night owl” (夜猫子) tendency can result in immoral behavior at work.(研究表明，打乱一个人天生的“早起鸟”或“夜猫子”的习惯，可能会导致工作中的不道德行为。)”和第三段划线词后句“can result in strange, unethical, and out-of-line behavior.(会导致奇怪的、不道德的和越轨的行为。)”可知，同样是指扰乱人们的睡眠模式或者睡眠倾向。所以inclination为“趋势，倾向”之意。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段以及第四段“Science journalist Linda Geddes said, “If you don't get enough sleep, research suggests you are more likely to have unethical behavior, such as being mean, bullying your fellow employees or falsifying receipts.(科学记者琳达·格迪斯说：“研究表明，如果你睡眠不足，你更有可能做出不道德的行为，比如变得刻薄、欺负同事或伪造收据。”)”可知，打乱人们的睡眠模式，人们得不到充足的睡眠，会在工作中表现出不道德的行为。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。上一段介绍了雇主应该采取的明智做法就是让员工在觉得准备好的时候上班，而本段首句则是承接上文，指出这种转变已经发生了，然后指出27%的美国雇主为员工提供灵活的工作时间，由此判断这些数字是用来证明更多的雇主在实行弹性工作时间。故选D。
D
The US Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) recently asked scientists, lawyers, social scientists and other experts to consider some of these ethical dimensions. To give two examples: on privacy, as we let more listening devices into our homes, how do we prevent the data they collect falling into the wrong hands through hacking (黑客) or simply being sold between companies without us receiving any money Another example: mixed reality, including virtual reality, will become pervasive in the next few years. As we move from headsets to what the IEEE committee describes as “more subtle and integrated sensory enhancements” we will use technology to live in an illusory world in many aspects of our lives. How do we balance the rights of the individual, control over our virtual identity, and the need to live and interact on a face-to-face basis while being empowered to live rich lives in mixed reality
There is, of course, always a tension between innovation and regulation. But it can often seem that giant steps are taken in technology with minimal public discussion. Take the self-driving car: although it may be safer than human drivers and is likely to save more than a million lives a year worldwide, it will also take jobs from drivers, traffic police, sign-makers, car-repair companies, carmakers and more. Is this a bargain we want to make In taking that decision, have we given thought to a car that knows everywhere we go, decides routes, perhaps, based on paid advertisements from shops along the way—and listens and sees everything we do on board What will happen to that data and can it be kept safe
Additionally, while some worry about the uncommon “trolley problem” of whom the car should choose to hit in a freak accident—an old lady or a mother and baby—perhaps the more frequent issue will be how we find out what the algorithm (算法) was thinking at the time of an accident, because AIs (Artificial Intelligence) are self-learning and devise their own strategies.
Similar concerns are emerging over the internet of things. Robot vacuum-cleaners already plot cleaning cycles using computer-aided vision that, for some models, is relayed to their manufacturers. As more things at home become connected, they will be hackable and the data they collect sellable.
It’s time for some messy, democratic discussions about the future of AI.
12. What is the purpose of the two examples in Paragraph 1
A. To cast some light on hacking in our modern life.
B. To lead the reader to think of ethical issues brought by hi-tech.
C. To lead in the following example concerning the self-driving car.
D. To list the existing problems that caught the attention of experts.
13. What does the underlined word “pervasive” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Intelligent. B. Powerful. C. Widespread. D. Skillful.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards the big steps in technology
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Cautious. D. Unclear.
15. How does the author support his claim
A. By exposing some underlying problems in high-tech.
B. By calling on people to move away from innovation.
C. By illustrating AI’s abilities in self-learning strategies.
D. By displaying our computer-aided life in future.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A

【13题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句后文“As we move from headsets to what the IEEE committee describes as ‘more subtle and integrated sensory enhancements’ we will use technology to live in an illusory world in many aspects of our lives. (当我们从耳机转向IEEE委员会所描述的‘更微妙和综合的感官增强’时，我们将在生活的许多方面使用技术而生活在一个虚幻的世界中)”说明人们将在生活中的许多方面使用技术，从而推知划线词句“Another example: mixed reality, including virtual reality, will become pervasive in the next few years. (另一个例子：混合现实，包括虚拟现实，将在未来几年变得pervasive)”其中划线词汇应为“许多，更广泛”的意思，选项C“普遍的，广泛的”与之意义最为接近。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段中“There is, of course, always a tension between innovation and regulation. But it can often seem that giant steps are taken in technology with minimal public discussion.

As we move from headsets to what the IEEE committee describes as ‘more subtle and integrated sensory enhancements’ we will use technology to live in an illusory world in many aspects of our lives. How do we balance the rights of the individual, control over our virtual identity, and the need to live and interact on a face-to-face basis while being empowered to live rich lives in mixed reality (举两个例子：在隐私方面，随着越来越多的监听设备进入我们的家庭，我们如何防止它们收集的数据通过黑客手段落入坏人之手，或者在我们没有得到任何钱的情况下在公司之间出售？另一个例子：混合现实，包括虚拟现实，将在未来几年普及。当我们从耳机转向IEEE委员会所描述的‘更微妙和综合的感官增强’时，我们将在生活的许多方面使用技术而生活在一个虚幻的世界中。我们如何平衡个人的权利、对虚拟身份的控制，以及面对面生活和互动的需求，同时又能在混合现实中过上丰富的生活呢？)”以及后文中所举的自动驾驶车辆、机器人吸尘器以及物联网可能带来的问题可知，作者通过揭露高科技的一些潜在问题表达自己的主张。故选A项。

Is your key or phone missing a dozen times a day, or can’t you find the TV remote until ten minutes after a favorite show has begun Such faults might be accompanied by a nagging fear: Is something wrong with me Probably not. ____16____ But for the most part, people can overcome the tendency to misplace things. Here is some advice.
When you put something down, say its location. ____17____ You’d say, “I’m setting my mouse to the right of my computer.” And saying that, either in your mind or out loud, focuses your attention on where you put it, upping the chances that you’ll remember its location later.
Make up a song or rhyme. ____18____ You could make up a rhyme, or sub in your own lyrics to a catchy song. “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes,” and be sung into “My remote is sitting by the lamp. By the lamp.”
Take pictures. Ever wander around the parking lot because you can’t find your car Take a picture of your parking spot. The same advice applies to lots of things: Photograph all those spots where you store easy-to-lose objects. When you can’t find them, pull up the photo.
____19____ That might mean placing a basket by your front door where you drop your keys and wallet immediately upon entering your home, or labelling one drawer as the scissors drawer. Then, at the end of the day, scan the areas where you’ve been, find the items that need to be taken back home, and return them to their spots.
Be kind to yourself. It’s certainly understandable if you’re frustrated with your tendency to misplace things. But if you keep beating yourself up about and start to think that there’s something wrong with you, and you get anxious about that. When your thoughts spiral in such a manner, you’re even less likely to be able to focus and keep track of your possessions. ____20____
A. Set up a routine.
B. Make your belongings stand out.
C. So, remember to give yourself a break.
D. It’s a common occurrence and certainly annoying.
E. There are many gadgets designed to keep track of items.

【解析】
【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国将要建造世界最大的国家公园体系，不仅要保护自然生态环境和地理特征，还要保护各地区的文化遗迹，成为人类与自然和谐共处的生态示范区。
【36题详解】
考查时态、语态、和主谓一致。句意：该体系预计将以“世界上最大规模的保护、最多样化的地理特征和最高的保护价值”而建成。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词；虽然“ China Daily reported.”用了一般过去时，但是参考前文中的“will build”和“said”可知，陈述客观情况应用一般现在时；结合句意，此处应用被动语态；主语是“The system”,为第三人称单数，所以应为is expected。故填is expected。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：该体系预计将以“世界上最大规模的保护、最多样化的地理特征和最高的保护价值”而建成。根据“geographical features”可知，此处应为形容词，作定语；由句中“and”可知，此处与“the largest”和“the highest ”并列，所以应用最高级。故填the most diverse。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：与一些世界著名的无人居住的国家公园不同，中国的国家公园和自然保护区是大量人类居民的家园。分析句子可知，此处应为介词，与后面的名词短语“some world-famous national parks”搭配形成介词短语，作状语；根据句意，这里指“不同于……”，应用unlike，句首字母大写。故填Unlike。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词和固定短语。句意：我们会鼓励公园周边居民参与环境保护、自然教育和生态旅游服务。encourage sb to do sth 为固定短语，意为：鼓励某人做某事，所以应用动词不定式。故填to participate。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意：这将给他们带来真正的好处，并增强他们国家公园属于人民的感觉。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词；本句为引号中的原文，根据上一句中的谓语“will encourage”，并结合本句中并列谓语“enhance”及句意，此处应用一般将来时。故填will give。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这将给他们带来真正的好处，并增强他们国家公园属于人民的感觉。根据句中谓语动词“will give”和“ enhance”可知，此处为非谓语动词，位于介词of后，用belong的动名词形式与the national parks构成动名词复合结构。故填belonging。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：同样地，国家的保护区旨在“不仅保护生态系统，而且保护每个地区的文化遗迹”。分析句子可知，此处应为形容词，作定语修饰“areas”，意为：被保护的地区，应用形容词protected。故填protected。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：并且充当人与自然和谐共处的生态示范区。根据句中形容词“ecological”和名词“zones”可知，此处应为名词形式、作定语，修饰“zones”，demonstration zones 意为：示范区，符合句意。故填demonstration。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：并且充当人与自然和谐共处的生态示范区。分析句子可知，“zones”后为限制性定语从句，所以此处应为关系词，修饰先行词“demonstration zones”，在从句中作状语，故应用关系副词where。故填where。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：并且充当人与自然和谐共处的生态示范区。分析句子可知，此处应用副词修饰动词“coexist”，作状语。故填harmoniously。

As I began to wade through thirteen pages of the credit-card company’s new policy, I wasn’t sure how it was going to affect me personally. As I waited to be connected to a customer service rep, I considered whether I should even write the fifth novel in my Old Cape House series. Did my readers really enjoy the mysterious historical stories I told Should I take on more debt to buy my paperback books I thought about all the author events, book signings, and book fairs that might be canceled because of the virus. When would normal life return
“Hello, Ms. Struna, this is Thomas. May I have your account information ”
After repeating the information he needed, I explained my dilemma in trying to understand the new policy and asked how it would affect my future purchases.
“Please, do not worry. You will have no change.”
“Are you sure I am an author and travel frequently. I need to have access to my card at all times for big or small purchases.” I laughed to myself, thinking I wasn’t going anywhere for a while, at least until there was a vaccine.
“Let me reassure you. There will be no change to your card, but Ms. Struna, may I ask you one more question Are you the author of The Old Cape House ”
My jaw dropped. He was talking about my first novel of suspenseful historical fiction, The Old Cape House, published in 2013. I was stunned and I stammered, “Why, yes I am.” I was still skeptical about what he wanted from me.
Thomas kept talking. “I thought it was you. I recognized your name, and when you told me you were an author, I knew it was you.”
“Oh, my goodness.” My heart started to beat faster with delight at the connection I was making with an unknown foreign reader.
“Ms. Struna, your book changed me. It changed how I look at the world. It showed me ways to be more adventuresome and to be open to new things. Thank you so very much.”

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I was stunned at the idea that I had made a difference in someone’s life. I murmured unbelievably and excitedly, “I had thought nobody would like this type of novel. I was about to give up when you gave me strength.” At this time, there were so many people standing in line that he had to be busy with his work. Therefore, he didn’t say too much, just giving me a determined look and telling me to call him as he handed me a note with a telephone number. Considering that maybe he was off duty, I called him. He was extremely grateful for my calling and said emotionally, “It was your Old Cape House series that inspired me and people around me with confidence to life. Hoping you can continue writing to bring hope and new things to your loyal fans.”
I hung up, ending this coincidental connection to a fan reader in a faraway place. I sank into thought: because of the outbreak of the epidemic, everyone's life was deeply affected and couldn't go out. Yes, he was right. It may be a good chance for me to bring a new world and something about adventure to their life. What a kind man! His words were like the warm sunshine to sweep away dark clouds overhead and bring me hope and confidence. Now I think it is time to open my computer and continue writing.
