The development of China’s space program was first suggested in 1956 by the father of Chinese rocket science, Qian Xuesen (1911-2009). As a result of extensive preparation and planning, the Shenzhou crewed program began in 1992, and the first Chinese astronaut, Yang Liwei, went into space in 2003. Chang’e-1, a lunar orbiter was launched in 2007, while Tiangong-1, an experimental crewed space station was launched in 2011.
In 2019, Chang’e-4 made a soft landing on the far side of the moon. It was mankind’s first successful soft landing on the far side of the moon. A “soft” landing is one where the spacecraft lands in a controlled way, and gets no damage. Twelve hours later, the small Yutu-2 rover12 was released. To understand why Chang’e-4’s soft landing was such an achievement, consider the difficulty of any space mission, especially one to the far side of the moon. While the far side of the moon is often called the dark side of the moon, it is not really dark.
The main problem with landing on the far side of the moon is communication. There is no clear line of sight between the far side of the moon and the Earth. This normally makes radio communication with spacecraft on the far side of the moon impossible. Chinese engineers came up with a unique solution. Before Chang’e-4’s mission (任务), they sent the Queqiao communications satellite into space. When engineers needed to communicate with Chang’e-4 and Yutu-2, they could send radio messages to Queqiao. The messages would then be sent from the satellite down to the Lander and rover. This allowed for contact between Earth and the far side of the moon.
One of the experiments of Chang’e-4’s mission was designed to test a closed ecological (生态的) system that could be extremely important for long-term space missions: The plants produce food and oxygen for the fruit flies, while the fruit flies produce carbon dioxide for the plants. This experiment worked for nine days, but it had to be stopped when the temperatures dropped below -52°C.
8. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true
A. The first Chinese astronaut, Yang Liwei, went into space in 2007.
B. Qian Xuesen is considered the father of the Chinese space program.
C. The development of space program in China started in ancient times.
D. The Chinese space program has been advancing with preparation and planning.
9. Why was Chang’e-4’s landing on the moon such an achievement
A. Because Chang’e-4 landed on the moon successfully.
B. Because Chang’e-4 made a soft landing on the dark side of the moon.
C. Because man had never landed on the moon with the difficulty of space mission.
D Because it was the first time that humans had landed on the moon without any damage.
10. Why was the ecological experiment on Chang’e-4 stopped
A. It got too dark to continue.
B. The Lander no longer had power.
C. It got too cold for the experiment to work.
D. There was not enough oxygen on the moon.
11. Where is this passage probably from
A. A story book B. A textbook
C. A science fiction D. A magazine
D
Research has shown that people tend to get more happiness from spending their money on experiences, such as travel and entertainment, than on things, such as clothes and electronic goods. But are people happier during the purchased (购买的) experience itself Or does the happiness come more from expecting or remembering the experience
A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, offers an answer. Our experiential purchases bring us greater pleasure in terms of expectation and remembrance than do our material purchases, but they also bring us greater in-the-moment enjoyment, the study found.
For the study, the researchers recruited (招募) 2,635 adults who agreed to receive texts at any time during the day. The texts began with a happiness question, which asked the participants (参与者) to rate how they felt “right now” on a scale from very bad to very good. Half of them were then asked if they had made a material purchase within the past hour, such as clothing or electronic goods. The others were asked if they had made an experiential purchase within the past hour, such as eating in a restaurant or attending a concert.
The researchers found that the purchasers of the experiences express higher levels of happiness than the purchasers of the material goods, no matter how much the purchases cost.
To address possible differences in types of purchasers, the researchers conducted a second study in which they researched more than 5, 000 adults. “We still observed the same result,” said Amit Kumar, the study’s lead author.
The researchers said a possible explanation is the endurance (持久) of experiences in people’s memories, while the observed value of material goods weakens over time.
“If you want to be happier, it might be wise to shift (转变) some of your spending away from material goods and a bit more toward experiences,” Kumar said. “That would likely lead to greater happiness.”
12. Why does the author put forward two questions in paragraph 1
A. To introduce a new study. B. To make a fact clear.
C. To compare different research. D. To doubt the opinion presented.
13. Why did the researchers text the participants
A. To ask them about their spending plans.
B. To monitor their purchasing behavior and emotions.
C. To understand their needs and spending habits.
D. To find out the change in their purchasing choices.
14. What do the underlined words “the same result” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. The desire to purchase things weakens over time.
B. People are more willing to spend money on things.
C. Experiential purchases bring more happiness than material ones.
D. People will get more pleasure from spending money than making it.
15. What did Kumar think people should do in the last paragraph
A. Spend more on experiences.
B. Make future spending decisions.
C. Be happy with what they have bought.
D. Consider its value when buying a product.

How to Avoid Identity Theft

One morning in the autumn when I was nine, Mom asked me to do some yard work with her. She had grown some potatoes in our yard that spring. It was time to harvest (收获). She wanted me to help her dig the potatoes. “Do I have to ” I said unhappily.
“Yes，you do,” Mom gave an answer. Then she added, “Change your attitude and it'll be easier.” “That's what you think,” I thought to myself. I sat on the sofa watch TV. Soon Mom wouldn't wait any longer and ordered me to follow her.
Worried that she'd be angry, I walked slowly out. I was unwillingly to move my feet—almost as though there were magnets (磁铁) fixed to them and the ground was metal. Or it felt like my socks were filled with wet sand. Or maybe my feet just stuck to the ground.
Following Mom's instructions, I picked up a shovel and started to work. I needed to be careful when digging up potatoes, otherwise I would damage them. The damaged potatoes would easily rot (腐烂). I pushed the shovel into the earth slowly and lifted the earth onto one side. When that was done, potatoes came out. Then I had to use my hands to free the potatoes from below. After that I placed them into a basket. It was really dirty and boring.
注意：1. 续写词数应为100左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was about to give up the work when Mom's words came to my mind.

The development of China’s space program was first suggested in 1956 by the father of Chinese rocket science, Qian Xuesen (1911-2009). As a result of extensive preparation and planning, the Shenzhou crewed program began in 1992, and the first Chinese astronaut, Yang Liwei, went into space in 2003. Chang’e-1, a lunar orbiter was launched in 2007, while Tiangong-1, an experimental crewed space station was launched in 2011.
In 2019, Chang’e-4 made a soft landing on the far side of the moon. It was mankind’s first successful soft landing on the far side of the moon. A “soft” landing is one where the spacecraft lands in a controlled way, and gets no damage. Twelve hours later, the small Yutu-2 rover12 was released. To understand why Chang’e-4’s soft landing was such an achievement, consider the difficulty of any space mission, especially one to the far side of the moon. While the far side of the moon is often called the dark side of the moon, it is not really dark.
The main problem with landing on the far side of the moon is communication. There is no clear line of sight between the far side of the moon and the Earth. This normally makes radio communication with spacecraft on the far side of the moon impossible. Chinese engineers came up with a unique solution. Before Chang’e-4’s mission (任务), they sent the Queqiao communications satellite into space. When engineers needed to communicate with Chang’e-4 and Yutu-2, they could send radio messages to Queqiao. The messages would then be sent from the satellite down to the Lander and rover. This allowed for contact between Earth and the far side of the moon.
One of the experiments of Chang’e-4’s mission was designed to test a closed ecological (生态的) system that could be extremely important for long-term space missions: The plants produce food and oxygen for the fruit flies, while the fruit flies produce carbon dioxide for the plants. This experiment worked for nine days, but it had to be stopped when the temperatures dropped below -52°C.
8. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true
A. The first Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei, went into space in 2007.
B. Qian Xuesen is considered the father of the Chinese space program.
C. The development of space program in China started in ancient times.
D. The Chinese space program has been advancing with preparation and planning.
9. Why was Chang’e-4’s landing on the moon such an achievement
A. Because Chang’e-4 landed on the moon successfully.
B. Because Chang’e-4 made a soft landing on the dark side of the moon.
C. Because man had never landed on the moon with the difficulty of space mission.
D. Because it was the first time that humans had landed on the moon without any damage.
10. Why was the ecological experiment on Chang’e-4 stopped
A. It got too dark to continue.
B. The Lander no longer had power.
C. It got too cold for the experiment to work.
D. There was not enough oxygen on the moon.
11. Where is this passage probably from
A. A story book B. A textbook
C A science fiction D. A magazine
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】

【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This experiment worked for nine days, but it had to be stopped when the temperatures dropped below -52°C.(这个实验持续了9天，但当温度降到-52°C以下时，它不得不停止)”可知，嫦娥四号停止生态实验是因为温度太低，无法继续。故选C。

D
Research has shown that people tend to get more happiness from spending their money on experiences, such as travel and entertainment, than on things, such as clothes and electronic goods. But are people happier during the purchased (购买的) experience itself Or does the happiness come more from expecting or remembering the experience
A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, offers an answer. Our experiential purchases bring us greater pleasure in terms of expectation and remembrance than do our material purchases, but they also bring us greater in-the-moment enjoyment, the study found.
For the study, the researchers recruited (招募) 2,635 adults who agreed to receive texts at any time during the day. The texts began with a happiness question, which asked the participants (参与者) to rate how they felt “right now” on a scale from very bad to very good. Half of them were then asked if they had made a material purchase within the past hour, such as clothing or electronic goods. The others were asked if they had made an experiential purchase within the past hour, such as eating in a restaurant or attending a concert.
The researchers found that the purchasers of the experiences express higher levels of happiness than the purchasers of the material goods, no matter how much the purchases cost.
To address possible differences in types of purchasers, the researchers conducted a second study in which they researched more than 5, 000 adults. “We still observed the same result,” said Amit Kumar, the study’s lead author.
The researchers said a possible explanation is the endurance (持久) of experiences in people’s memories, while the observed value of material goods weakens over time.
“If you want to be happier, it might be wise to shift (转变) some of your spending away from material goods and a bit more toward experiences,” Kumar said. “That would likely lead to greater happiness.”
12. Why does the author put forward two questions in paragraph 1
A. To introduce a new study. B. To make a fact clear.
C. To compare different research. D. To doubt the opinion presented.
13. Why did the researchers text the participants
A. To ask them about their spending plans.
B. To monitor their purchasing behavior and emotions.
C. To understand their needs and spending habits.
D. To find out the change in their purchasing choices.
14. What do the underlined words “the same result” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. The desire to purchase things weakens over time.
B. People are more willing to spend money on things.
C. Experiential purchases bring more happiness than material ones.
D. People will get more pleasure from spending money than making it.
15. What did Kumar think people should do in the last paragraph
A. Spend more on experiences.
B. Make future spending decisions.
C. Be happy with what they have bought.
D. Consider its value when buying a product.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究发现：与购买物品相比，把钱花在生活体验上能让人更快乐。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, offers an answer. (发表在《实验社会心理学杂志》上的一项新研究给出了答案。)”可知，作者在第一段中提出两个问题是为了介绍一项新研究。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。文章第三段讲到“The texts began with a happiness question, which asked the participants (参与者) to rate how they felt “right now” on a scale from very bad to very good. Half of them were then asked if they had made a material purchase within the past hour, such as clothing or electronic goods. (文本以一个幸福问题开始，该问题要求参与者从非常糟糕到非常好对他们“现在”的感觉进行评分。其中一半被问及是否在过去一小时内购买了材料，如服装或电子产品。)”可知，研究人员给参与者每天不定时发消息是为了监控他们的购买行为和情绪。故选B。
【14题详解】
词语猜测题。文章第四段讲到“The researchers found that the purchasers of the experiences express higher levels of happiness than the purchasers of the material goods, no matter how much the purchases cost. (研究人员发现，无论购买成本如何，体验的购买者都比物质商品的购买者表现出更高的幸福感。)”以及第五段讲到“To address possible differences in types of purchasers, the researchers conducted a second study in which they researched more than 5, 000 adults (为了解决购买者类型的可能差异，研究人员进行了第二项研究，对5000多名成年人进行了研究。两次研究的结论相同)”可知，因此划线部分所在句子的意思是：我们仍然观察到相同的结果。所以划线部分的意思是“与购买物品相比，把钱花在生活体验上能让人更快乐”。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。文章最后一段讲到“If you want to be happier, it might be wise to shift some of your spending away from material goods and a bit more toward experiences (如果你想更快乐，明智的做法可能是将部分支出从物质上转移，更多地用于体验)”可知，Kumar认为人们应该在体验上多花点钱。故选A。

How to Avoid Identity Theft
Every year, a large quantity of personal information is leaked into the wrong hands.
Millions of people suffer the identity theft. Maybe there’s spyware on their computer, or a service they use has a security problem, leaving customers at risk of exposure. But there is no need to fear. It’s a lot easier than you might think to set up proper defenses.____16____
Here’s how.
Clean your computer and smart-phone
___17___before you put new security measures into place. This means fixing a good anti-virus program and taking the time to clear out any spyware that may have already infected your system.
Ensure your Wi-Fi safety
Now that your computer is clean, you should plug any holes in your home network. It’s fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they’re able to share your connection. ___18___. Different routers (路由器) will have different setup pages, so the actual step-by-step will vary, but the end result will be the same. Here’s what to do: Enable basic password protection. You also need to change the password that allows you to access your router’s settings to begin with. Then change the original name of your wireless network. Don’t use any personal information here.
___19___
Everything you just finished could be for nothing if a thief has your existing passwords, so you need to change them for every service you use. What you’ve heard is true: Passwords should use a variety of special characters, numbers, letters, and cases when possible. ___20___, and there should be a different one for each website you use.
Doing this or keeping track of it all is pain, which is why people don’t do it and wind up with stolen identities. Try it, and there’s no need to worry about all those problems.
A. Dig deep with your passwords
B. They should be close to random
C. Use the passwords in the same way
D. In fact you can easily do it all in a weekend
E. However, it is a challenge to set up a defense
F. Make sure your devices are as spotless as possible
G. That’s why you want to be careful when using public Wi-Fi
【答案】16. D 17. F 18. G 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了怎样避免个人信息在网上被泄露。
【详解】1. 根据上文“It’s a lot easier than you might think to set up proper defenses”（建立适当防御比你想象的要容易得多。）同时根据下文提的方法，可知空白处与上文为顺承关系，讲述防御的方法很简单。选项D.“In fact, you can easily do it all in a weekend”（事实上，你可以很容易地在一个周末做到这一切），说明做好防御是不需要花费太多时间的，即方法很容易。符合文意，故选D。
2. 根据下文“This means fixing a good anti-virus program and taking the time to clear out any spyware that may have already infected your system.”（这意味着修复一个好的反病毒程序，并花时间清除任何可能已经感染你的系统的间谍软件。）说明通过反病毒程序和清理已经感染你的系统的间谍软件，就可以使自己的信息得到保护，而不泄露，所以前文描述的是在你采取新的安全措施之前，要确保你的设备尽可能的干净。选项F.“Make sure your devices are as spotless as possible”（ 确保你的设备尽可能的干净），符合题意，故选F。
3. 根据本段标题“Ensure your Wi-Fi safety”（确保你的无线网络安全）及设空前“It’s fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they’re able to share your connection.”（如果潜在的罪犯能够分享你的连接，他们很容易获取你的信息。）可知，当你的连接被罪犯轻易获得后，他们就可以获得你的信息。所以设空处要表明的是在使用公共无线网时要小心。选项G.“That’s why you want to be careful when using public Wi-Fi”（这就是为什么你在使用公共无线网时要小心），选项中“Wi-Fi”和标题关键词一致，符合题意，故选G。
4. 本句处于标题位置，结合前文标题句式特点，可知句式要用祈使句。根据下文“Everything you just finished could be for nothing if a thief has your existing passwords, so you need to change them for every service you use. ”（如果一个小偷有你现有的密码，你刚刚完成的一切可能都是徒劳，所以你需要为你使用的每个服务更改密码。）可知，要对自己用的密码进行修改，选项A.“Dig deep with your passwords”（深入挖掘你的密码）。符合题意，故选A。
5. 根据上文“ Passwords should use a variety of special characters, numbers, letters, and cases when possible.”（密码应尽可能使用各种特殊字符、数字、字母和大小写。）可知，密码的设置形式要多样化，所以下文应表述密码设置不要有规律，即设置要近乎于随意。选项B.“They should be close to random.”（它们应该是随机的。）与题意相符，故选B。
第三部分 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中医在中国已经传承了2000多年。它包括针灸、医学、太极和气功等运动以及其它治疗方法。如今，中医不仅在亚洲使用，在美国也使用。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：它包括针灸、中药、太极、气功、推拿、瓜沙、拔罐等。此处为谓语动词的填入，句子陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语为it，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填includes。
【37题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：针灸是最早被美国医疗保健系统接受的中医方法之一。由空前be one of可知，此处为名词复数形式，表示“……的其中之一”。故填methods。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：1971年，《纽约时报》记者詹姆斯·莱斯顿在一篇名为《现在，关于我在北京的行动》的文章中首次将它引入美国。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰article，article和动词title为被动关系，应用过去分词形式。故填titled。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：在1997年，针灸被美国国立卫生研究院正式接受，在2002年的一份声明中，世界卫生组织承认针灸对43种以上的常见病有效。此处修饰动词was accepted，应用副词officially，作状语。故填officially。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在1997年，针灸被美国国立卫生研究院正式接受，在2002年的一份声明中，世界卫生组织承认针灸对43种以上的常见病有效。此处修饰名词treatment，应用形容词effective，作定语。故填effective。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：中医不仅注重疾病的治疗，而且注重疾病的预防和整体健康的提高。此处为动词短语focus on“专注于”，应用介词on。故填on。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：中医不仅注重疾病的治疗，而且注重疾病的预防和整体健康的提高。由and连接的the disease prevention为名词短语可知，此处应用名词形式，作介词on的宾语成分，improvement为抽象概念，为不可数名词。故填improvement。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：今天，在美国，中医主要被用作人们保持健康状态的另一种选择。由空前alternative名词可知，此处为动词不定式to do作后置定语，为惯用表达an alternative to do“做……的一种选择”。故填to maintain。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：针灸在全球180多个国家和地区广泛实行；其中，103个国家批准了针灸的使用，29个国家建立了某种形式的中医法律法规，18个国家将针灸纳入国民医疗保险体系，30多个国家的高等院校开设了中医教学。根据空后有of短语限定，此处应用定冠词，表特指。故填the。

根据汉语提示、语境提示和括号内词的正确形式填空。
46. I’m perfectly willing ________ (discuss) the problem.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to discuss
【解析】

47. He was ________ (disappoint) to see she wasn't at the party. (所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】disappointed
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：看到她没有参加聚会，他很失望。was为系动词，后面需加形容词作表语，主语是he，此处表示人的感受，需用-ed结尾的形容词，disappointed意为“感到失望的”。故填disappointed。
48. He made an ________ (apologize) to me for being late this morning. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】apology
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：他为今天早上迟到向我道歉。作宾语，结合不定冠词，可知应填单数名词apology。故填apology。
49. “________ (天才) is 1% inspiration and 99% persperation”, as Edison put it.(根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】Genius
【解析】
【详解】考查不可数名词。句意：正如爱迪生所说，“天才是1%的灵感和99%的努力”。根据汉语提示“天才”，以及句子结构可知，此处需要名词genius充当句子主语，表示“天才，天资，天赋”是不可数名词。位于句首首字母大写。故填Genius。
50. Jim passed the driving test,____________surprised everybody in the office. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】which
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句的关系词。句意：吉姆通过了驾驶考试，这让办公室里的每个人都感到惊讶。分析句子可知，　　　　　　①　　　　　　surprised everybody in the office. 是一个非限制性定语从句，修饰整个主句内容，关系词在从句中作主语，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，用which引导该从句，故填 which。
51. There were 2, 250 policemen ________ duty in and around the stadium yesterday. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】on
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意：昨天有2250名警察在体育场内外执勤。分析句子可知，此处缺少介词on构成固定短语on duty“值班，执勤”。故填on。
52. When you get ready physically and ________ (mental), you have nothing to fear. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】mentally
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：当你在身体和心理上做好准备时，你没有什么可害怕的。分析句子可知，设空处需要副词修饰get ready，mental的副词形式是mentally。故填mentally。

【答案】speaking
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我坚持要和经理谈谈，因为你显然帮不了我。空处用于介词on之后，应用动名词形式作介词on的宾语。故填speaking。

【答案】novelists
【解析】
【详解】考查可数名词复数形式。句意：海明威是美国历史上最伟大的小说家之一，写了很多作品。根据汉语提示“小说家”，以及句子结构可知，此处需要名词novelist充当介词of 的宾语，用在one of+可数名词复数形式结构中，此处应使用复数形式。故填novelists。
55. As a retired professor, Tom still commits ________ (he) to climate change solutions and cares about the impact of global warming on human beings. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】himself
【解析】
【详解】考查反身代词。句意：作为一名退休教授，Tom仍然致力于气候变化解决方案，并关心全球变暖对人类的影响。分析句子可知，设空处需要反身代词构成固定短语commit oneself to“致力于”，此处指的是Tom他自己。故填himself。

第二节 读后续写 (满分15分)
57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One morning in the autumn when I was nine, Mom asked me to do some yard work with her. She had grown some potatoes in our yard that spring. It was time to harvest (收获). She wanted me to help her dig the potatoes. “Do I have to ” I said unhappily.
“Yes，you do,” Mom gave an answer. Then she added, “Change your attitude and it'll be easier.” “That's what you think,” I thought to myself. I sat on the sofa watch TV. Soon Mom wouldn't wait any longer and ordered me to follow her.
Worried that she'd be angry, I walked slowly out. I was unwillingly to move my feet—almost as though there were magnets (磁铁) fixed to them and the ground was metal. Or it felt like my socks were filled with wet sand. Or maybe my feet just stuck to the ground.
Following Mom's instructions, I picked up a shovel and started to work. I needed to be careful when digging up potatoes, otherwise I would damage them. The damaged potatoes would easily rot (腐烂). I pushed the shovel into the earth slowly and lifted the earth onto one side. When that was done, potatoes came out. Then I had to use my hands to free the potatoes from below. After that I placed them into a basket. It was really dirty and boring.
注意：1. 续写词数应为100左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was about to give up the work when Mom's words came to my mind.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I was about to give up the work when Mom’s words came to my mind. “Change your attitude and it’ll be easier.” Those words kept ringing in my ears. The dirt on my hands began to drop as if it was trying to take away my bad attitude. I went all out to work, singing and admiring each potato I dug up. Amazingly, I began to find harvesting potatoes interesting and meaningful. I said to Mom, “You were right. The work is easier.” She smiled and looked at me with approval. That day it really made sense for me and I carry those words in my mind until today. After all, work makes people happy.
【解析】
