第二部分：阅读理解 ( 共两节，满分 50 分)
第一节 ( 共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分37.5分 )
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑
A
Every year, an average American produces more than 250 pounds of plastic waste. Recycling is part of the solution, but many of us are confused about what can be recycled and what can’t.
Plastic film
At the store we find it covering vegetables, meats and cheeses. It’s common, but it can’t be recycled because it’s hard to deal with at the MRF (材料回收厂). The thin and soft film gets stuck around the equipment and can bring it to a stop.
Plastic bags
Plastic bags — like those used for bread, sandwich as well as grocery bags — create similar problems for recycling machines as thin plastic film. Therefore, most of the plastic bags end up in landfills and oceans.
Yogurt and butter cups
These containers often mix with other kinds of materials. It’s not possible to separate them. In addition, this type of packaging flattens out on the MRF’s conveying belt and can bring the equipment to a stop, too.
Beverage (饮料) bottles
These containers are firm. They don’t flatten out like yogurt cups and they’re made from one kind of plastic that recyclers can easily sell for making products such as carpet, clothing or even more plastic bottles.
Warning: Be aware that we cannot recycle as much as we want. For example, plastic bottles are a highly desirable product for recyclers, but just about a third finds their way into the MRFs. Therefore, it’s more important for us to reduce packaging.
1. What do the first two kinds of packaging have in common
A. They are used for the same products. B. They are mixed with other materials
C. They are too thin and soft to be recycled. D. They are usually recycled in special MRFs.
2. Which can be recycled easily
A. Plastic film. B. Beverage bottles. C. Plastic bags. D. Yogurt and butter cups.
3. What does the author hope us to do in the last paragraph
A. Reduce packaging. B. Try to build more MRFs.
C. Use recyclable bags. D. Separate the waste properly.
B
Sports is one of the purest concepts developed. For some, sports is a hobby, others an escape, but for Jason Hills, Post Media Edmonton part-time writer, sports is everything.
At a young age, watching countless hours of sports allowed Hills to process and develop an escape to deal with the childhood painful experience of losing both his parents in a car accident. With so much inside his head, sports provided him with the outlet that millions of people employ daily: being enveloped into “the game.”
Later, as Hills grew into a young man, he began to become involved with school sports. As Hills began to play, the concept of being involved with a university team came into a dream.
Following high school graduation, Hills realized that university athletics might not be in the cards, but was still very determined to have sports play a major role in his life. So he attended Lethbridge College for its Journalism Diploma program. Since then, Hills has been a major component of university athletics coverage in Edmonton for over 10 years. Spending long hours travelling to back and forth across the North Saskatchewan River covering all the postsecondary teams, Hills is Postmedia’s go-to reporter in Edmonton for everything amateur sports.
Hills is a story teller. Though his articles include features, game recaps (简报)and series previews, all of his work showcases university student-athletes like no one else in the City of Edmonton. Hills stands out and stands above many, with an extraordinary ability to capture the athletes’ true voice. By putting himself in their shoes, Hills empathizes (有同感) with the student-athletes by telling their story, bringing a truly human element to the piece.
“My grandma told me when I was young, no matter what you do in life, just do what makes you happy,” Hills recalls.“This type of job and this type of career, you’re not going to make millions in it. You have to do it because you love it and because you’re passionate about it.”
4. Why did Hills regard sports as an escape in his childhood
A. To relieve his pain.
B. To kill boring time.
C. To recover from bad health.
D. To avoid pressure from his parents.
5. What inspired Hills to enter journalism
A. His love for journalism from childhood.
B. His great achievements in the university team.
C. His determination to become a well-known sports journalist.
D. His passion for sports and hopelessness of entering the university athletics.
6. What is a distinguished feature of Hills’ articles
A. Focusing on the comments of the game.
B. Telling the childhood stories of athletes.
C. Reflecting the uniqueness of college student athletes.
D. Bringing his own life experiences into them.
7. Which of the following can best describe Hills
A. Generous.
B. Strong-willed.
C. Artistic.
D. Knowledgeable.
C
Could a new treatment developed by the US company Lilly mean “the beginning of the end” of Alzheimer’s Could we even cure it some day These are headlines and questions swirling (流传) around after news of a new drug, called donanemab, showed promising results in phase-3 trials.
The brain science behind Alzheimer’s is complex, but CT and MRJ scans suggest that poisonous changes occur in the brain, including the abnormal build-up of proteins called amyloid plaques and tau tangles. The damage starts in the parts of the brain essential for forming memories but then spreads throughout the organ, with brain tissue shrinking significantly.
Developing treatments for Alzheimer’s has been a challenge, with almost 20 years passing with no new drugs. But in the last year, two new ones have emerged: donanemab and lecanemab. Neither are cures or magic bullets for the disease, but they do address key symptoms. They target the amyloid proteins that can accumulate in the brain and damage neurons, slowing down its progression.
While this news is exciting, there are major caveats. One is whether it will ever become available on the NHS. The cost is estimated to be about 20,000 per person per year of treatment.
Another is the serious side effects: in the study, brain swelling occurred in 24% of participants and brain bleeding occurred in 31.4% on the drug compared with 13.6% in the placebo (安慰剂) group. There were also three deaths during the trial.
Part of the problem for me, as an academic, in assessing the drug is that the full results of the trial haven’t yet been shared publicly or published in a peer-review journal. We cannot access the full data or examine the trial yet, and there is always a motivation for private companies to overstate the effectiveness of new drugs. Trial results need to be assessed by an independent body of experts.
While it is unlikely to change clinical practice until at least 2025, the news of donanemab is again an indication that science is continuing to make progress when it comes to treating the major causes of illness and death, even one related to the highly complex inner workings of the brain, So, there are caveats and the need for caution, but these new drugs are indeed the grounds for that rare thing these days: hope.
8. What can we learn about Alzheimer’s from the passage
A. There exists a new drug to cure it completely.
B. Most people will develop Alzheimer’s when they are old.
C. It is caused by the accumulation of some proteins in the brain.
D. It results from the loss of memories as people get older.
9. What does the underlined word “caveats” mean in paragraph 4
A. Warnings. B. Discussions. C. Debates. D. Weaknesses.
10. What is the problem of the new drug according to the author as an academic
A. It has serious side effects such as brain bleeding and deaths.
B The effectiveness may be blown up without fair assessment.
C. The cost of the new drug is out of reach for ordinary people.
D. There is no possibility for new drugs to be admitted into the NHS.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the new drug
A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Indifferent.
D
Social distancing is not a new concept in the natural world, where infectious diseases are commonplace. Through specialized senses animals can detect certain diseases and change their behavior to avoid getting ill.
In 1966, while studying chimps (猩猩) in a Tanzanian national park, zoologist Jane Goodall observed a chimp named McGregor who had caught a highly infectious virus. His fellow chimps attacked him and threw him out of the troop. In one instance, McGregor approached chimps in a tree. He reached out a hand in greeting, but the others moved away without a backward glance.
“For a full two minutes, old McGregor sat motionless, staring after them,” Goodall notes in her 1971 book In the Shadow of Man. “It’s really not that different to how some societies react today to such a tragedy.”
Not all animals are so aggressive toward their ailing neighbors. Sometimes it’s as simple as avoiding those who may infect you.
When Kiesecker, a lead scientist in America, studied American bullfrog in the late 1990s, he found that bullfrogs could not only detect a deadly smell of infection in other bullfrogs, but healthy members actively avoided those that were sick. Bullfrogs rely on chemicals signals to determine who is sick or not.
Caribbean lobsters also shun diseased members of their community, well before they become infectious. It takes about eight weeks for lobsters infected with the deadly virus Panulirus argus mininuceovirus to become dangerous to others. Normally social animals, lobsters begin keeping away from the diseased as early as four weeks after infection – once the lobsters can smell certain chemicals released by sick individuals.
Overall, it’s important to note that, unlike us, animals don’t realize if they stay home, they might actually reduce the infection rate,” Kiesecker explains. “As humans, we have that ability. It’s a big difference.”
12. What can we learn about the chimps from Goodall’s observation
A. They kept a distance from one another.
B. They became aggressive when infected.
C. The infected avoided contact with others.
D. The infected were forced to leave the group.
13. What does the underlined word “shun” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Avoid. B. Cure. C. Get rid of. D. Get along with.
14. How are humans different from animals according to Kiesecker
A Humans are more sensitive to virus.
B. Humans are less likely to get infected.
C. Humans treat infectious diseases in a wiser way.
D. Humans can detect chemical signals more quickly.
15. Which might be the best title for the text
A. Help Me Out
B. Leave Me Alone
C Stay Away From Us
D. Stay Home Stay Healthy
第二节（共 5 小题； 每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两处为多余选项。
Rise and shine! Morning time just became your new best friend. Love it or hate it, using the morning hours before work may be the key to a successful and healthy lifestyle. ___16___ In addition, the health benefits for those with a life before work go on and on. Let us explore 4 of the things successful people do before 8 am.
Exercise
Most people that work out daily, work out in the morning. Exercising before work gives you an increase of energy for the day and a sense of accomplishment .Even if you aren’t bright eyed and bushy tailed at the thought of a 5 am jog, try waking up 15 minutes early for a quick bedside set of pushups or stretching. ___17___
Map Out Your Day.
Maximize your potential by mapping out your schedule for the day, as well as your goals and to dos. The morning is a good time for this as it is often one of the only quiet times a person gets throughout the day. The early hours foster easier reflection that helps when prioritizing (优先) your activities. ___18___
Visualize your day.
___19___ The morning is the perfect time to spend some quiet time inside your mind planning or visualizing. Take a moment to visualize your day ahead of you, focusing on the successes you will have. Even just a minute of visualization and positive thinking can help improve your mood and outlook on your work load for the day.
___20___
We all have that one item on our to do list that we fear. It troubles you all day (or week) until you finally do it after much procrastination (拖延). Instead of anticipating the unpleasantness of it from first coffee through your lunch break, do that least desirable task on your list first. The morning is the time when you are generally more well rested and your energy level is up. Therefore, you are more well equipped to handle more difficult projects. Look at it this way, and your day will get progressively easier, not the other way around. By the time your work day is ending, you’re winding down with easier to dos and heading into your free time more relaxed. Success!
A. Connect socially,
B. Make Your Day Top Heavy.
C. It’ll help wake up your body, and prepare you for your day.
D. While scheduling, don’t forget about your physical health.
E. Morning people have been found to be more active and more productive.
F. They also allow for uninterrupted problem solving when trying to fit everything into your timetable.
G. These days we talk about our physical health endlessly but sometimes our mental health gets overlooked.

____38____(set) a few years after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the story starts with Kong Yiji being ridiculed by the working-class customers in the tavern he frequents for continuing to wear his long scholar’s gown, even though he never passed the imperial exam ____39____ could have landed him a decent job back in the past.

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。
If you had to choose one word to describe Kevin, it might have been “slow”. He didn’t learn his ABCs as fast as other kids. He never came in first in the schoolyard races. However, his smile was brighter than the sun in June; his heart was bigger than the mountain sky. Kevin’s enthusiasm for life was quite infectious.
When Kevin joined the boys’ school basketball team, basketball became the center of his life. At practice, he worked so hard that you’d think he was preparing for the NBA. He liked to stand in a certain place near the free-throw line and shoot at the basket. Patiently, he stood there throwing ball after ball after ball. “Look at me, Coach!” he’d shout at Randy, jumping up and down with the excitement of shooting.
Kevin and his whole team truly loved basketball. But just loving the game didn’t help them win. More balls fell out of the basket than into it, and the boys lost every game that season, except one—the night when it snowed and the other team couldn’t make it to the game.
It was a cold snowing afternoon when their last game came. As the last-place team, they played against the first-place team. The game went pretty much the same as expected, and near the middle of the fourth quarter Kevin’s team stood nearly 30 points behind.
At that point, one of Kevin’s teammates called time-out. As he came to the side, Randy couldn’t imagine why the time-out had been called. “Coach,” said the boy. “This is our last game and I know that Kevin has played in every game, but he’s never made a basket. I think we should let Kevin make a basket.” With the game completely out of reach, the idea seemed reasonable, so the plan was made. When they had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who was standing in his special place near the free-throw line.
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。
His first shot bounced around but missed.

Finally, the ball took one bounce and went in unexpectedly.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了什么塑料垃圾可以回收和什么不能回收。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据Plastic film部分中“It’s common, but it can’t be recycled because it’s hard to deal with at the MRF (材料回收厂). The thin and soft film gets stuck around the equipment and can bring it to a stop.(虽然很常见，但在材料回收厂很难处理，因此无法回收。薄膜和软膜会粘在设备周围，导致设备停止工作)”和Plastic bags部分“Plastic bags — like those used for bread, sandwich as well as grocery bags — create similar problems for recycling machines as thin plastic film.(用于面包、三明治和作为杂货袋的塑料袋和塑料薄膜一样，会对回收机器造成了类似的问题)”可推知，塑料薄膜和塑料袋太薄太软，会粘在回收设备周围，导致设备停止工作，所以无法回收。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Beverage (饮料) bottles部分“These containers are firm. They don’t flatten out like yogurt cups and they’re made from one kind of plastic that recyclers can easily sell for making products such as carpet, clothing or even more plastic bottles.(这些容器很结实。它们不像酸奶杯那样扁平，制作它们的塑料被回收者回收后，可以用来制作地毯、衣服、塑料瓶等产品)”可知，饮料瓶易回收。故选B项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, it’s more important for us to reduce packaging.(因此，减少包装对我们来说更重要)”可知，作者希望我们减少包装。故选A项。
B
Sports is one of the purest concepts developed. For some, sports is a hobby, others an escape, but for Jason Hills, Post Media Edmonton part-time writer, sports is everything.
At a young age, watching countless hours of sports allowed Hills to process and develop an escape to deal with the childhood painful experience of losing both his parents in a car accident. With so much inside his head, sports provided him with the outlet that millions of people employ daily: being enveloped into “the game.”
Later, as Hills grew into a young man, he began to become involved with school sports. As Hills began to play, the concept of being involved with a university team came into a dream.
Following high school graduation, Hills realized that university athletics might not be in the cards, but was still very determined to have sports play a major role in his life. So he attended Lethbridge College for its Journalism Diploma program. Since then, Hills has been a major component of university athletics coverage in Edmonton for over 10 years. Spending long hours travelling to back and forth across the North Saskatchewan River covering all the postsecondary teams, Hills is Postmedia’s go-to reporter in Edmonton for everything amateur sports.
Hills is a story teller. Though his articles include features, game recaps (简报)and series previews, all of his work showcases university student-athletes like no one else in the City of Edmonton. Hills stands out and stands above many, with an extraordinary ability to capture the athletes’ true voice. By putting himself in their shoes, Hills empathizes (有同感) with the student-athletes by telling their story, bringing a truly human element to the piece.
“My grandma told me when I was young, no matter what you do in life, just do what makes you happy,” Hills recalls.“This type of job and this type of career, you’re not going to make millions in it. You have to do it because you love it and because you’re passionate about it.”
4. Why did Hills regard sports as an escape in his childhood
A. To relieve his pain.
B. To kill boring time.
C. To recover from bad health.
D. To avoid pressure from his parents.
5. What inspired Hills to enter journalism
A. His love for journalism from childhood.
B. His great achievements in the university team.
C. His determination to become a well-known sports journalist.
D. His passion for sports and hopelessness of entering the university athletics.
6. What is a distinguished feature of Hills’ articles
A. Focusing on the comments of the game.
B. Telling the childhood stories of athletes.
C. Reflecting the uniqueness of college student athletes.
D Bringing his own life experiences into them.
7. Which of the following can best describe Hills
A. Generous.
B. Strong-willed.
C. Artistic.
D. Knowledgeable.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】

You have to do it because you love it and because you’re passionate about it.(这种类型的工作和职业，你不会从中赚到数百万美元。你必须做这件事，因为你喜欢它，因为你对它充满激情)”可知，希尔斯无论怎样，都坚持对运动的热爱。由此推知，他是意志坚强的。故选B项。

Could a new treatment developed by the US company Lilly mean “the beginning of the end” of Alzheimer’s Could we even cure it some day These are headlines and questions swirling (流传) around after news of a new drug, called donanemab, showed promising results in phase-3 trials.
The brain science behind Alzheimer’s is complex, but CT and MRJ scans suggest that poisonous changes occur in the brain, including the abnormal build-up of proteins called amyloid plaques and tau tangles. The damage starts in the parts of the brain essential for forming memories but then spreads throughout the organ, with brain tissue shrinking significantly.
Developing treatments for Alzheimer’s has been a challenge, with almost 20 years passing with no new drugs. But in the last year, two new ones have emerged: donanemab and lecanemab. Neither are cures or magic bullets for the disease, but they do address key symptoms. They target the amyloid proteins that can accumulate in the brain and damage neurons, slowing down its progression.
While this news is exciting, there are major caveats. One is whether it will ever become available on the NHS. The cost is estimated to be about 20,000 per person per year of treatment.
Another is the serious side effects: in the study, brain swelling occurred in 24% of participants and brain bleeding occurred in 31.4% on the drug compared with 13.6% in the placebo (安慰剂) group. There were also three deaths during the trial.
Part of the problem for me, as an academic, in assessing the drug is that the full results of the trial haven’t yet been shared publicly or published in a peer-review journal. We cannot access the full data or examine the trial yet, and there is always a motivation for private companies to overstate the effectiveness of new drugs. Trial results need to be assessed by an independent body of experts.
While it is unlikely to change clinical practice until at least 2025, the news of donanemab is again an indication that science is continuing to make progress when it comes to treating the major causes of illness and death, even one related to the highly complex inner workings of the brain, So, there are caveats and the need for caution, but these new drugs are indeed the grounds for that rare thing these days: hope.
8. What can we learn about Alzheimer’s from the passage
A. There exists a new drug to cure it completely.
B. Most people will develop Alzheimer’s when they are old.
C. It is caused by the accumulation of some proteins in the brain.
D. It results from the loss of memories as people get older.
9. What does the underlined word “caveats” mean in paragraph 4
A. Warnings. B. Discussions. C. Debates. D. Weaknesses.
10. What is the problem of the new drug according to the author as an academic
A. It has serious side effects such as brain bleeding and deaths.
B. The effectiveness may be blown up without fair assessment.
C. The cost of the new drug is out of reach for ordinary people.
D. There is no possibility for new drugs to be admitted into the NHS.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the new drug
A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Indifferent.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种名为donanemab的新药在三期临床试验中显示有一定疗效，这给阿尔茨海默氏病患者带来了希望。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The brain science behind Alzheimer’s is complex, but CT and MRJ scans suggest that poisonous changes occur in the brain, including the abnormal build-up of proteins called amyloid plaques and tau tangles. The damage starts in the parts of the brain essential for forming memories but then spreads throughout the organ, with brain tissue shrinking significantly. (阿尔茨海默氏症背后的脑科学是复杂的，但CT和MRJ扫描表明，大脑中发生了有毒的变化，包括淀粉样斑块和tau蛋白缠结的异常积聚。这种损伤始于大脑中对形成记忆至关重要的部分，然后扩散到整个器官，脑组织明显萎缩)”及第三段中的“They target the amyloid proteins that can accumulate in the brain and damage neurons, slowing down its progression. (它们的目标是淀粉样蛋白，淀粉样蛋白会在大脑中积聚，损害神经元，减缓其进展)”可知，大脑中某些蛋白质的积累引起了阿尔茨海默氏病。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文中的“One is whether it will ever become available on the NHS. The cost is estimated to be about 20,000 per person per year of treatment. (一个是它是否会在国民医疗服务体系中普及。据估计，每人每年的治疗费用约为2万英镑)”可知，有一些重要的注意事项。由此可知，划线词caveats与warnings“提醒”意义相近。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“We cannot access the full data or examine the trial yet, and there is always a motivation for private companies to overstate the effectiveness of new drugs. Trial results need to be assessed by an independent body of experts. (我们还无法获得完整的数据或检查试验，而且私营公司总是有夸大新药有效性的动机。试验结果需要由一个独立的专家机构进行评估)”可推知，新药的有效性可能会在未经公正评估的情况下被夸大。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So, there are caveats and the need for caution, but these new drugs are indeed the grounds for that rare thing these days: hope. (因此，有一些警告和谨慎的需要，但这些新药确实是当今罕见的东西的基础：希望)”可推知，作者对这种药持赞同的态度。故选A。

Social distancing is not a new concept in the natural world, where infectious diseases are commonplace. Through specialized senses animals can detect certain diseases and change their behavior to avoid getting ill.
In 1966, while studying chimps (猩猩) in a Tanzanian national park, zoologist Jane Goodall observed a chimp named McGregor who had caught a highly infectious virus. His fellow chimps attacked him and threw him out of the troop. In one instance, McGregor approached chimps in a tree. He reached out a hand in greeting, but the others moved away without a backward glance.
“For a full two minutes, old McGregor sat motionless, staring after them,” Goodall notes in her 1971 book In the Shadow of Man. “It’s really not that different to how some societies react today to such a tragedy.”
Not all animals are so aggressive toward their ailing neighbors. Sometimes it’s as simple as avoiding those who may infect you.
When Kiesecker, a lead scientist in America, studied American bullfrog in the late 1990s, he found that bullfrogs could not only detect a deadly smell of infection in other bullfrogs, but healthy members actively avoided those that were sick. Bullfrogs rely on chemicals signals to determine who is sick or not.
Caribbean lobsters also shun diseased members of their community, well before they become infectious. It takes about eight weeks for lobsters infected with the deadly virus Panulirus argus mininuceovirus to become dangerous to others. Normally social animals, lobsters begin keeping away from the diseased as early as four weeks after infection – once the lobsters can smell certain chemicals released by sick individuals.
Overall, it’s important to note that, unlike us, animals don’t realize if they stay home, they might actually reduce the infection rate,” Kiesecker explains. “As humans, we have that ability. It’s a big difference.”
12. What can we learn about the chimps from Goodall’s observation
A. They kept a distance from one another.
B. They became aggressive when infected.
C. The infected avoided contact with others.
D. The infected were forced to leave the group.
13. What does the underlined word “shun” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Avoid. B. Cure. C. Get rid of. D. Get along with.
14. How are humans different from animals according to Kiesecker
A. Humans are more sensitive to virus.
B. Humans are less likely to get infected.
C. Humans treat infectious diseases in a wiser way.
D. Humans can detect chemical signals more quickly.
15. Which might be the best title for the text
A. Help Me Out
B. Leave Me Alone
C. Stay Away From Us
D. Stay Home Stay Healthy
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文，动物和人类一样，在有传染疾病时和同类保持距离，但是人类的应对方法更明智。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“His fellow chimps attacked him and threw him out of the troop.” 他的猩猩同伴袭击了他，把他赶出了猩猩群。可知受到感染的猩猩被迫离开了群体，故选D项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据前一段“he found that bullfrogs could not only detect a deadly smell of infection in other bullfrogs, but healthy members actively avoided those that were sick.” （他发现，牛蛙不仅能嗅出其他牛蛙身上致命的感染气味，而且健康的牛蛙还会积极地避开那些生病的牛蛙)。划线部分所在的句子“Caribbean lobsters also shun diseased members of their community,”出现了also，可知加勒比海的龙虾也像牛蛙一样避开得病的成员，故shun和avoid同义。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“it’s important to note that, unlike us, animals don’t realize if they stay home, they might actually reduce the infection rate,” Kiesecker explains. “As humans, we have that ability. It’s a big difference” (值得注意的是，动物不像我们，它们没有意识到如果它们呆在家里，它们实际上可能会降低感染率，”Kiesecker解释道。“作为人类，我们有这种能力。这是一个很大的区别。)可知，从Kiesecker说的话可推断，人类和动物的不同之处在于人类对待传染病的方法更明智。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Social distancing is not a new concept in the natural world, where infectious diseases are commonplace.” (在传染病司空见惯的自然世界中，保持社交距离并不是一个新概念。)以及文章第一段提到了关键词Social distancing(保持社交距离)，即离我们远一点，故C项“远离我们”为最佳标题。故选C项。

Let us explore 4 of the things successful people do before 8 am.
Exercise.
Most people that work out daily, work out in the morning.

Map Out Your Day.
Maximize your potential by mapping out your schedule for the day, as well as your goals and to dos. The morning is a good time for this as it is often one of the only quiet times a person gets throughout the day. The early hours foster easier reflection that helps when prioritizing (优先) your activities. ___18___
Visualize your day.
___19___ The morning is the perfect time to spend some quiet time inside your mind planning or visualizing. Take a moment to visualize your day ahead of you, focusing on the successes you will have.

___20___
We all have that one item on our to do list that we fear. It troubles you all day (or week) until you finally do it after much procrastination (拖延). Instead of anticipating the unpleasantness of it from first coffee through your lunch break, do that least desirable task on your list first. The morning is the time when you are generally more well rested and your energy level is up. Therefore, you are more well equipped to handle more difficult projects. Look at it this way, and your day will get progressively easier, not the other way around. By the time your work day is ending, you’re winding down with easier to dos and heading into your free time more relaxed. Success!

【17题详解】
根据上文“Exercising before work gives you an increase of energy for the day and a sense of accomplishment .” 上班前锻炼可以增加你一天的精力和成就感。所以本段讲早起锻炼的好处，C项“它会唤醒你的身体，为你的一天做好准备”。也是早起锻炼的好处。选C。

【20题详解】
根据本段中“Instead of anticipating the unpleasantness of it from first coffee through your lunch break, do that least desirable task on your list first. The morning is the time when you are generally more well rested and your energy level is up.”可知，与其从第一次喝咖啡到午休时就预料到不愉快，不如先做清单上最不想做的事情。早晨是你休息得更充分、精力更充沛的时候。所以本段的标题为“先做最难做的事情”。故选B.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了什么是“孔乙己心态”以及人们对此的看法。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：中国网民正在热烈讨论“孔乙己心态”，这个词的灵感来自中国现代文学中一位有影响力的人物，用来指那些认为自己高于体力劳动的大学毕业生。term为可数名词，此处为泛指且是发音以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。

考查名词的数。句意：中国网民正在热烈讨论“孔乙己心态”，这个词的灵感来自中国现代文学中一位有影响力的人物，用来指那些认为自己高于体力劳动的大学毕业生。graduate为可数名词，根据后文从句谓语动词consider为原形可知应用复数形式。故填graduates。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：故事发生在清朝灭亡几年后，孔乙己在他经常光顾的酒馆里被劳动阶级的顾客嘲笑，因为他没有通过科举考试，即使在过去，科举考试可以让他得到一份体面的工作。分析句子结构可知逻辑主语story与set构成被动关系，故用过去分词作状语。首字母大写。故填Set。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：故事发生在清朝灭亡几年后，孔乙己在他经常光顾的酒馆里被劳动阶级的顾客嘲笑，因为他没有通过科举考试，即使在过去，科举考试可以让他得到一份体面的工作。此处为定语从句修饰先行词the imperial exam，在从句中作主语，指物，故填that/which。

考查形容词。句意：对于一些现实不如预期的应届大学毕业生来说，孔是一个令人同情的人物。修饰名词figure应用形容词sympathetic，作定语。故填sympathetic。
【43题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：当我们小的时候，我们被告知要努力学习，当我们长大了，我们要成为宇航员和科学家。主语与谓语构成被动关系，根据上文When we were young可知为一般过去时的被动语态，主语为we，谓语用复数。故填were told。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：我并不是看不起那些职业——每一种职业都是值得尊敬的——但奇怪的是，风向竟然朝这个方向发展。结合前后文语境可知为转折关系，应用连词but。故填but。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：然而，由于对蓝领工作的偏见仍然存在，这种转变仍然具有挑战性。表示“对……偏见”可知短语为prejudice against。故填against。

Dear fellow students,

【答案】Dear fellow students,
Given that most high school students can’t get enough sleep, our school will hold an campaign concerning regular and enough sleep. I am writing to firmly advocate us students to take part in it.
Staying up late does great harm to us both physically and mentally. If we stay up late frequently, we will fail to focus in class. What’s worse, staying up late will lead to a poor immune system. In an effort to gain enough sleep and a healthy life, all of us are highly recommended to plan our time properly for homework and take physical exercise regularly.
Only by doing this will we enjoy a healthy and happy life.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
If you had to choose one word to describe Kevin, it might have been “slow”. He didn’t learn his ABCs as fast as other kids. He never came in first in the schoolyard races. However, his smile was brighter than the sun in June; his heart was bigger than the mountain sky. Kevin’s enthusiasm for life was quite infectious.
When Kevin joined the boys’ school basketball team, basketball became the center of his life. At practice, he worked so hard that you’d think he was preparing for the NBA. He liked to stand in a certain place near the free-throw line and shoot at the basket. Patiently, he stood there throwing ball after ball after ball. “Look at me, Coach!” he’d shout at Randy, jumping up and down with the excitement of shooting.
Kevin and his whole team truly loved basketball. But just loving the game didn’t help them win. More balls fell out of the basket than into it, and the boys lost every game that season, except one—the night when it snowed and the other team couldn’t make it to the game.
It was a cold snowing afternoon when their last game came. As the last-place team, they played against the first-place team. The game went pretty much the same as expected, and near the middle of the fourth quarter Kevin’s team stood nearly 30 points behind.
At that point, one of Kevin’s teammates called time-out. As he came to the side, Randy couldn’t imagine why the time-out had been called. “Coach,” said the boy. “This is our last game and I know that Kevin has played in every game, but he’s never made a basket. I think we should let Kevin make a basket.” With the game completely out of reach, the idea seemed reasonable, so the plan was made. When they had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who was standing in his special place near the free-throw line.
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。
His first shot bounced around but missed.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the ball took one bounce and went in unexpectedly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】His first shot bounced around but missed. As soon as Kevin’s teammates had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who was standing in the certain place near the free-throw line. He shot it slowly, but he missed it again. Nevertheless, all the players of his team kept throwing the ball to him and clapped him with encouragement. Very soon the audience figured out what was happening, so one by one they stood up and clapped their hands. The whole playground thundered with the clapping and shouting, “Kevin! Kevin!” And Kevin just kept shooting.
Finally, the ball took one bounce and went in unexpectedly. With arms shooting high into the air, Kevin shouted, “I won! I won!” He jumped high and hugged every teammate excitedly. Everyone could see tears welling in his eyes. They began to shout wildly and clap their hands to congratulate him. The feathery snow danced in the late afternoon air, making a beautiful sight. The clock ticked off the last few seconds and the first-place team remained undefeated. Even though they lost this game again that afternoon, everyone left the playground truly feeling like a winner.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物线索展开，讲述了Kevin是个“迟钝”的男孩，但和其他人相处的很好，他加入了他的老师Randy组建的篮球队，Kevin热爱篮球，但是他投不进球，球队输掉了所有的比赛。在赛季结束时，他们不幸地与第一名的球队比赛，虽然比对方落后很多，但是Kevin的队友觉得应该让Kevin投篮，每次Kevin所在的球队拿到球，Kevin都要站在罚球线附近他的特殊位置，然后他们就会把球给他。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句“他的第一球弹过，但没有击中”可知，第一段可描写Kevin第一次失败后大家的举动，所有人都为Kevin鼓掌，鼓励他。
②由第二段首句“最后，球弹了一下，出乎意料地进去了”可知，第二段要描写Kevin进球后大家的反应和感想。
2. 续写线索：
Kevin投球不进——观众加油助力——Kevin进球——Kevin、队友、观众的反应——虽输犹胜——感想
