第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每小题所给A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The ebike has become an essential item, and even the King has been spotted riding one. According to the market research company Mintel, sales have almost tripled over the past five years. While ebikes have become increasingly commonplace, they are still undeniably expensive. You can pick up a perfectly adequate push bike for 300, but most ebikes cost nearly 2,000. Now, Cycling Electric, designed to help consumers choose an ebike, offers the following recommendations.
Best folding bike
Carbo Model X
Price: 2, 799 | Weight: 13.3kg
Range: up to 34 miles
This is one of the most convenient bikes, from a little-known label. The lightweight Carbo X is the perfect example of convenience thanks to its carbon frame and belt drive, instead of a metal bike chain. This makes it lighter and less likely to get messy than an electric Brompton, with its more traditional, oily chain.
Most stylish
Temple Cycles Classic
Price: from 2, 995 | Weight: 19kg
Range: up to 74 miles
This Bristol-based brand is known for its elegant pushbikes, which are hand-built in the city. This is its electric version. It’s a very sleek and functional commuter option and not too heavy. Temples have fewer proprietary (品牌专卖的) parts and so are serviceable in any bike shop. Stylish as they may be, the VanMoofs and the Cowboys can be a bit more complex to get back-up and service.
The money-no-object option
Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX
Price: 5, 380 | Weight: 28.4kg
Range: up to 93 miles
This is a prime example of the attention to detail delivering a high-quality experience in functionality, comfort and practicality — if you can afford it. It has the capacity to handle 25kg of luggage in a pannier, powerful road lights and a beautifully smooth motor.
1. What is the advantage of the Temples over other stylish ebike brands
A They are more lightweight. B. They have more functions.
C. They have easier access to service. D. They are more comfortable.
2. Which ebike will a consumer probably choose, who cares most about an excellent experience
A. Carbo Model X. B. The VanMoofs and the Cowboys.
C. Temple Cycles Classic. D. Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX.
3. Where is the text probably taken from
A. An online post. B. A magazine column.
C. A market research report. D. An official document.
B
Four years ago, Rome Leykin was on his way to work when he accidentally fell onto the tracks of Brooklyn's train as a subway was approaching. The incident resulted in the loss of both of his legs.
But surprisingly, with the loss of his legs, Leykin gained a new passion for racing. Before his accident, he wasn't really that athletic. He would just occasionally play basketball. But that all changed after he was introduced to hand cycling. “When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. You don't even need legs to use it. This is perfect.’” he said. “So, I got on it, I rode and fell in love with it right away.”
Within a few months, he completed the TD Five Boro Bike Tour. a 40-mile ride through New York City. After that, he did his first marathon in 2021. He fished that race in 2 hours and 11 minutes, placing 12th out of 38.
“I'm going to attend this year's marathon and take on challenges. My hands are on the wheel, my eyes are focused, and I think my time is going to speak for itself.” he said. He's made a significant commitment to training. He hand cycles at least 13.1 miles a couple times a week and spends a lot of time in the gym.
And he plans to keep pursuing his athlete goals. He wants to complete the Abbott Six-the world's six largest marathons. One day, he said, he'll maybe even make the Paralympics.
For those who might be following his journey, he hopes they will take some lessons from his story. “There will be ups and downs but the trend is what's important. Focus on the good,” he said. “And also, take your big problems and split them into small solutions. And then all of a sudden, your big problems turn into many small wins.”
4. What can we learn about Rome Leykin from paragraph 2
A. He once was an excellent basketball player.
B. He considered hand cycling difficult in the beginning.
C. He made hand cycling more popular among the disabled.
D. He showed an interest in hand cycling the moment he saw it.
5. How did Rome Leykin feel about the coming marathon
A. Worried. B. Curious. C. Confident. D. Nervous.
6. Which of the following can best describe Rome Leykin
A. Easy-going and reliable. B. Kind-hearted and helpful.
C. Open-minded and creative. D. Strong-willed and ambitious.
7. What message does Rome Leykin convey in the last paragraph
A. Stick to your dreams. B. Break down your goals.
C. Focus on your strengths. D. Achieve success at all costs.
C
The success of many North American crops partly depends on ground beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds that could otherwise damage crops. But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. And that could have a far-reaching impact on agriculture, forestry, and conservation.
By analyzing data on 136 different ground beetle species across continental North America, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, the researchers found that a species’ chance of success in a changing climate depends on several important factors, such as its habitat preference, body size, and whether it flies, climbs or runs.
“We found that less mobile, nonflying ground beetles, which are critical pest control agents, are more likely to decline over time in a warmer, dryer climate,” said Tong Qiu, who led the study. “That means you’re going to have more pests that can impact agricultural and forest ecosystems.” But there is reason for hope, Qiu added, because the analysis also showed that habitat conservation can lessen these effects and reverse the trends in some areas.
“We hope conservation biologists will use this information and the online map that we created to better manage habitats for insects in general. Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they’re largely invisible to the average person. In this paper we’re showing the broad impacts they have on whole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems,” said Qiu.
The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science Foundation’s National Ecological Observatory Network ( NEON ) and from 11 previously published studies to measure and map the beetles’ distribution across North America. Habitat information, such as the location of gaps in forest canopies and the density of plants on a forest floor, was obtained by using NEON’s imaging instruments to create detailed three-dimensional images of landscapes. They then entered the data collected into a computer model to simulate (模拟) climate changes to study how the insects would respond.
8. What does the new study in North America show
A. Pests could destroy crops.
B Some ground beetles will not survive a climate change.
C. The survival of ground beetles only depends on its habitat.
D Some ground beetles will destroy crops in a warmer climate.
9. What does Tong Qiu intend to convey in paragraphs 3 and 4
A. There is no way to stop the decline of ground beetles.
B. Critical pests are more adaptable in a warmer, drier climate.
C. Ground beetles will become less mobile in a warmer climate.
D. The importance of ground beetles should be widely recognized.
10. How did the research team carry out the study
A. By analyzing data.
B. By studying documents.
C. By doing field research.
D. By performing experiments.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. North American Agriculture Crops at Risk
B. A Catastrophic Climate Change on the Way
C. Crop - saving Beetles under Climate Threat
D. New Breakthrough in Biodiversity Research
D
Automation (自动化) was a hot topic. Nearly everyone agreed that people would be working less once computers and other kinds of automatic machinery became widespread. For optimists, this was a promise of liberation: At last humanity would be freed from constant toil, and we could all devote our days to more refined pursuits. But others saw a threat: Millions of people would be thrown out of work, and desperate masses would roam the streets. Looking back from 50 years hence, the controversy over automation seems a quaint and curious episode. The dispute was never resolved.
A. J. Hayes, a leader(and no relation to me), wrote in 1964: Automation is not just a new kind of mechanization but a revolutionary force capable of overturning our social order. Whereas mechanization made workers more efficient-and thus more valuable-automation threatens to make them superfluous (过剩的)-and thus without value. The opinions I have cited here represent extreme positions, and there were also many milder views. But I think it’s fair to say that most early students of automation, including both critics and enthusiasts, believed the new technology would lead us into a world where people worked much less.
As for economic consequences, worries about unemployment have certainly not gone away-not with job losses in the current recession approaching 2 million workers in our country alone. But recent job losses are commonly attributed to causes other than automation, such as competition from overseas or a roller-coaster financial system. In any case, the vision of a world where machines do all the work and people stand idly by has simply not come to pass.
The spread of automation outside of the factory has altered its social and economic impact in some curious ways. In many cases, the net effect of automation is not that machines are doing work that people used to do. Instead we’ve dispensed with the people who used to be paid to run the ma-chines, and we’ve learned to run them ourselves. These trends contradict almost all the expectations of early writers on automation, both optimists and pessimists. So far, automation has neither liberated us from the need to work nor deprived us of the opportunity to work. Instead, we’re working more than ever.
What about trades closer to my own vital interests Will science be automated Technology al-ready has a central role in many areas of research; for example, genome sequences could not be read by traditional lab-bench methods. Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than re-placing the lab technician, but when a machine exhibits enough curiosity and tenacity, I think we’ll just have to welcome it as a companion in zealous research. And if the scientist is elbowed aside by an automaton, then surely the science writer can’t hold out either. I’m ready for my 15-hour work-week.
12. In Paragraph 1, the writer mainly wants to convey that .
A. automation results in unemployment on
B. automation does more harm than good
C. the issue of automation is still in discussion
D. automation brings in much convenience in life
13. According to A. J. Hayes, we can infer .
A. automation is more valuable than what we imagine
B. automation is a revolutionary force to better development
C. the disadvantages of automation far outweigh the advantages
D. the new technology would lead people into working much less
14. What does the underlined word possibly mean
A. Put. . . down for. B. Set. . . free from.
C. Bring. . . into. D. Take. . . away from.
15. What can we conclude from this passage
A. People needn’t work so hard due to automation.
B Traditional labor force will be replaced in the near future.
C. Automation should be accepted reasonably in development.
D. Automation results in more job losses in the writer’s country.
第二节:七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
One of the primary goals of cognitive behavioral therapy (疗法) is finding effective ways to channel your anxiety into productive action. The best possible one is under the care of an experienced mental health care provider. Still, if you are hoping to stop being paralyzed (麻痹) by anxiety and use this energy to fuel and improve your life, you can. ___16___
Set a goal. Goal-setting is one way to use your anxiety as fuel. Take notice of your anxious thoughts and worries. What are you most concerned about ___17___ Instead of shaking in your boots, get to work developing a plan that allows you to overcome these fears.
Challenge yourself regularly to build resilience. Think of your resilience to anxiety as a muscle. ___18___ Rather than avoiding those situations that cause anxiety, gradually expose yourself to them more often. When you do this, you will find that, over time, they lose their power. For instance, if you hate public speaking, you might benefit from signing up for a local Toastmasters club. Doing so will allow you to practice speaking in front of a group more often, which will reduce your anxiety.
___19___ Anxiety can feel like a live wire in your body. You can’t sit still or focus. Exercise is a great activity to make use of this spare energy. Exercise offers a host of benefits like fighting off illness and helping you manage weight. One of the benefits most helpful to you, however, is its ability to neutralize anxiety and improve your mood.
Perform reality testing. You don’t have to become a slave to your anxious thoughts, giving them permission to get you all worked up. ___20___ Reality testing involves assessing a situation for errors in thinking. To assess the reality of this situation, you want to ask what evidence is there that says this is true. Did your friends actually call you lame Are they avoiding you
A. Put them to the test instead.
B. What are your biggest fears
C. Burn off nervous energy with physical activity.
D. When you find yourself becoming anxious, check your thought patterns
E. Just transform anxiety into action by using positive strategies.

The lightweight Carbo X is the perfect example of convenience thanks to its carbon frame and belt drive, instead of a metal bike chain. This makes it lighter and less likely to get messy than an electric Brompton, with its more traditional, oily chain.
Most stylish
Temple Cycles Classic
Price: from 2, 995 | Weight: 19kg
Range: up to 74 miles
This Bristol-based brand is known for its elegant pushbikes, which are hand-built in the city. This is its electric version. It’s a very sleek and functional commuter option and not too heavy. Temples have fewer proprietary (品牌专卖的) parts and so are serviceable in any bike shop. Stylish as they may be, the VanMoofs and the Cowboys can be a bit more complex to get back-up and service.
The money-no-object option
Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX
Price: 5, 380 | Weight: 28.4kg
Range: up to 93 miles
This is a prime example of the attention to detail delivering a high-quality experience in functionality, comfort and practicality — if you can afford it. It has the capacity to handle 25kg of luggage in a pannier, powerful road lights and a beautifully smooth motor.
1. What is the advantage of the Temples over other stylish ebike brands
A. They are more lightweight. B. They have more functions.
C. They have easier access to service. D. They are more comfortable.

Four years ago, Rome Leykin was on his way to work when he accidentally fell onto the tracks of Brooklyn's train as a subway was approaching. The incident resulted in the loss of both of his legs.
But surprisingly, with the loss of his legs, Leykin gained a new passion for racing. Before his accident, he wasn't really that athletic. He would just occasionally play basketball. But that all changed after he was introduced to hand cycling. “When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. You don't even need legs to use it. This is perfect.’” he said. “So, I got on it, I rode and fell in love with it right away.”
Within a few months, he completed the TD Five Boro Bike Tour. a 40-mile ride through New York City. After that, he did his first marathon in 2021. He fished that race in 2 hours and 11 minutes, placing 12th out of 38.
“I'm going to attend this year's marathon and take on challenges. My hands are on the wheel, my eyes are focused, and I think my time is going to speak for itself.” he said. He's made a significant commitment to training. He hand cycles at least 13.1 miles a couple times a week and spends a lot of time in the gym.
And he plans to keep pursuing his athlete goals. He wants to complete the Abbott Six-the world's six largest marathons. One day, he said, he'll maybe even make the Paralympics.
For those who might be following his journey, he hopes they will take some lessons from his story. “There will be ups and downs but the trend is what's important. Focus on the good,” he said. “And also, take your big problems and split them into small solutions. And then all of a sudden, your big problems turn into many small wins.”
4. What can we learn about Rome Leykin from paragraph 2
A. He once was an excellent basketball player.
B. He considered hand cycling difficult in the beginning.
C. He made hand cycling more popular among the disabled.
D. He showed an interest in hand cycling the moment he saw it.
5. How did Rome Leykin feel about the coming marathon
A. Worried. B. Curious. C. Confident. D. Nervous.
6. Which of the following can best describe Rome Leykin
A. Easy-going and reliable. B. Kind-hearted and helpful.
C. Open-minded and creative. D. Strong-willed and ambitious.
7. What message does Rome Leykin convey in the last paragraph
A. Stick to your dreams. B. Break down your goals.
C. Focus on your strengths. D. Achieve success at all costs.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B

The success of many North American crops partly depends on ground beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds that could otherwise damage crops. But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. And that could have a far-reaching impact on agriculture, forestry, and conservation.
By analyzing data on 136 different ground beetle species across continental North America, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, the researchers found that a species’ chance of success in a changing climate depends on several important factors, such as its habitat preference, body size, and whether it flies, climbs or runs.
“We found that less mobile, nonflying ground beetles, which are critical pest control agents, are more likely to decline over time in a warmer, dryer climate,” said Tong Qiu, who led the study. “That means you’re going to have more pests that can impact agricultural and forest ecosystems.” But there is reason for hope, Qiu added, because the analysis also showed that habitat conservation can lessen these effects and reverse the trends in some areas.
“We hope conservation biologists will use this information and the online map that we created to better manage habitats for insects in general. Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they’re largely invisible to the average person. In this paper we’re showing the broad impacts they have on whole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems,” said Qiu.
The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science Foundation’s National Ecological Observatory Network ( NEON ) and from 11 previously published studies to measure and map the beetles’ distribution across North America. Habitat information, such as the location of gaps in forest canopies and the density of plants on a forest floor, was obtained by using NEON’s imaging instruments to create detailed three-dimensional images of landscapes. They then entered the data collected into a computer model to simulate (模拟) climate changes to study how the insects would respond.
8. What does the new study in North America show
A. Pests could destroy crops.
B. Some ground beetles will not survive a climate change.
C. The survival of ground beetles only depends on its habitat.
D. Some ground beetles will destroy crops in a warmer climate.
9. What does Tong Qiu intend to convey in paragraphs 3 and 4
A. There is no way to stop the decline of ground beetles.
B. Critical pests are more adaptable in a warmer, drier climate.
C. Ground beetles will become less mobile in a warmer climate.
D. The importance of ground beetles should be widely recognized.
10. How did the research team carry out the study
A. By analyzing data.
B. By studying documents.
C. By doing field research.
D. By performing experiments.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. North American Agriculture Crops at Risk
B. A Catastrophic Climate Change on the Way
C. Crop - saving Beetles under Climate Threat
D. New Breakthrough in Biodiversity Research
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国和加拿大研究人员的一项新研究表明,在北美发现的保护农作物的近2000种地面甲虫并不是都能在气候变化中生存下来。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. (但美国和加拿大研究人员的一项新研究表明,在北美发现的近2000种地面甲虫并不是都能在气候变化中生存下来。一些可能会减少。)”可知,北美的这项新研究表明,一些地面甲虫将无法在气候变化中生存。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“‘We found that less mobile, nonflying ground beetles, which are critical pest control agents, are more likely to decline over time in a warmer, dryer climate,’ said Tong Qiu, who led the study. ‘That means you’re going to have more pests that can impact agricultural and forest ecosystems. ’ But there is reason for hope, Qiu added, because the analysis also showed that habitat conservation can lessen these effects and reverse the trends in some areas.(该研究的负责人佟邱说:‘我们发现,在温暖干燥的气候中,流动性较差、不能飞行的地面甲虫更有可能随着时间的推移而减少,而地面甲虫是重要的害虫控制剂。’‘这意味着会有更多的害虫影响农业和森林生态系统。’但我们有理由抱有希望,邱补充说,因为分析还表明,栖息地保护可以减轻这些影响,并在一些地区扭转趋势。)”以及第四段“‘We hope conservation biologists will use this information and the online map that we created to better manage habitats for insects in general. Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they’re largely invisible to the average person. In this paper we’re showing the broad impacts they have on whole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems, ’ said Qiu.( 邱说:‘我们希望保护生物学家能够利用这些信息和我们创建的在线地图来更好地管理昆虫的栖息地。地面甲虫对生态系统非常有益,但普通人基本上看不见它们。在这篇论文中,我们展示了它们对整个森林和农业生态系统社区的广泛影响。’)”可知,在第3段和第4段想表达,地面甲虫的重要性应该得到广泛的认识。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science Foundation’s National Ecological Observatory Network ( NEON ) and from 11 previously published studies to measure and map the beetles’ distribution across North America.

They then entered the data collected into a computer model to simulate (模拟) climate changes to study how the insects would respond. (研究人员使用了来自美国国家科学基金会国家生态观测网络(NEON)和11项先前发表的研究的地面甲虫数量数据,来测量和绘制甲虫在北美的分布。通过使用NEON的成像仪器创建详细的三维景观图像,可以获得诸如森林冠层间隙位置和森林地面植物密度等栖息地信息。然后,他们将收集到的数据输入计算机模型来模拟气候变化,以研究昆虫会如何反应。)”可知,研究小组通过分析数据来开展这项研究。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“The success of many North American crops partly depends on ground beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds that could otherwise damage crops. But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. (许多北美作物的成功部分取决于地面甲虫,一种吃害虫和杂草种子的小昆虫,否则会破坏作物。但美国和加拿大研究人员的一项新研究表明,在北美发现的近2000种地面甲虫并不是都能在气候变化中生存下来。一些可能会减少。)”可知,本文主要介绍了一项新研究表明,在北美发现的保护农作物的近2000种地面甲虫并不是都能在气候变化中生存下来,为了保护它们,研究人员通过分析数据开展进一步研究。C项“气候威胁下拯救作物甲虫”符合题意,为文章最佳标题。故选C项。

Automation (自动化) was a hot topic. Nearly everyone agreed that people would be working less once computers and other kinds of automatic machinery became widespread. For optimists, this was a promise of liberation: At last humanity would be freed from constant toil, and we could all devote our days to more refined pursuits. But others saw a threat: Millions of people would be thrown out of work, and desperate masses would roam the streets. Looking back from 50 years hence, the controversy over automation seems a quaint and curious episode. The dispute was never resolved.
A. J. Hayes, a leader(and no relation to me), wrote in 1964: Automation is not just a new kind of mechanization but a revolutionary force capable of overturning our social order. Whereas mechanization made workers more efficient-and thus more valuable-automation threatens to make them superfluous (过剩的)-and thus without value. The opinions I have cited here represent extreme positions, and there were also many milder views. But I think it’s fair to say that most early students of automation, including both critics and enthusiasts, believed the new technology would lead us into a world where people worked much less.
As for economic consequences, worries about unemployment have certainly not gone away-not with job losses in the current recession approaching 2 million workers in our country alone. But recent job losses are commonly attributed to causes other than automation, such as competition from overseas or a roller-coaster financial system. In any case, the vision of a world where machines do all the work and people stand idly by has simply not come to pass.
The spread of automation outside of the factory has altered its social and economic impact in some curious ways. In many cases, the net effect of automation is not that machines are doing work that people used to do. Instead we’ve dispensed with the people who used to be paid to run the ma-chines, and we’ve learned to run them ourselves. These trends contradict almost all the expectations of early writers on automation, both optimists and pessimists. So far, automation has neither liberated us from the need to work nor deprived us of the opportunity to work. Instead, we’re working more than ever.
What about trades closer to my own vital interests Will science be automated Technology al-ready has a central role in many areas of research; for example, genome sequences could not be read by traditional lab-bench methods. Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than re-placing the lab technician, but when a machine exhibits enough curiosity and tenacity, I think we’ll just have to welcome it as a companion in zealous research. And if the scientist is elbowed aside by an automaton, then surely the science writer can’t hold out either. I’m ready for my 15-hour work-week.
12. In Paragraph 1 the writer mainly wants to convey that .
A. automation results in unemployment on
B. automation does more harm than good
C the issue of automation is still in discussion
D. automation brings in much convenience in life
13. According to A. J. Hayes, we can infer .
A. automation is more valuable than what we imagine
B. automation is a revolutionary force to better development
C. the disadvantages of automation far outweigh the advantages
D. the new technology would lead people into working much less
14. What does the underlined word possibly mean
A. Put. . . down for. B. Set. . . free from.
C. Bring. . . into. D. Take. . . away from.
15. What can we conclude from this passage
A. People needn’t work so hard due to automation.
B. Traditional labor force will be replaced in the near future.
C. Automation should be accepted reasonably in development.
D. Automation results in more job losses in the writer’s country.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了作者对于生活中自动化的评价及看法。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Nearly everyone agreed that people would be working less once computers and other kinds of automatic machinery became widespread. For optimists, this was a promise of liberation: At last humanity would be freed from constant toil, and we could all devote our days to more refined pursuits. But others saw a threat: Millions of people would be thrown out of work, and desperate masses would roam the streets. Looking back from 50 years hence, the controversy over automation seems a quaint and curious episode. The dispute was never resolved.(几乎每个人都同意,一旦计算机和其他种类的自动机器普及,人们的工作就会减少。对乐观主义者来说,这是一个解放的承诺:人类最终将从无休止的辛劳中解脱出来,我们都可以把时间花在更精致的追求上。但其他人看到了一种威胁:数百万人将失去工作,绝望的群众将在街上游荡。从50年前看过去,关于自动化的争论似乎是一个古怪而奇怪的插曲。这场争论从未得到解决。)”可知,自从自动化产生,人们对于其孰优孰劣的争论一直持续不断。由此可知,本段主要想表达的内容是自动化的问题仍在讨论中。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Automation is not just a new kind of mechanization but a revolutionary force capable of overturning our social order. Whereas mechanization made workers more efficient-and thus more valuable-automation threatens to make them superfluous (过剩的)-and thus without value.(自动化不仅是一种新型的机械化,而且是一种能够颠覆我们社会秩序的革命性力量。机械化使工人更有效率,因此更有价值,而自动化威胁使他们成为多余的,因此没有价值。)”可推知,根据A. J. Hayes的说法,自动化是更好发展的革命性力量。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“So far, automation has neither liberated us from the need to work(到目前为止,自动化并没有把我们从工作的需要中解放出来)”和“Instead, we’re working more than ever.(相反,我们比以往任何时候都更努力工作。)”可知,划线词所在句子表示“到目前为止,自动化既没有把我们从工作的需要中解放出来,也没有剥夺我们工作的机会”,划线词的意思是“剥夺”,和D选项“Take... away from”意思相近,故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than re-placing the lab technician, but when a machine exhibits enough curiosity and tenacity, I think we’ll just have to welcome it as a companion in zealous research.(替换科学家可能比替换实验室技术人员要困难一些,但当一台机器表现出足够的好奇心和毅力时,我认为我们将不得不欢迎它作为热心研究的伙伴。)”可推知,在发展中应合理接受自动化。故选C。

Challenge yourself regularly to build resilience. Think of your resilience to anxiety as a muscle. ___18___ Rather than avoiding those situations that cause anxiety, gradually expose yourself to them more often. When you do this, you will find that, over time, they lose their power. For instance, if you hate public speaking, you might benefit from signing up for a local Toastmasters club. Doing so will allow you to practice speaking in front of a group more often, which will reduce your anxiety.
___19___ Anxiety can feel like a live wire in your body. You can’t sit still or focus. Exercise is a great activity to make use of this spare energy. Exercise offers a host of benefits like fighting off illness and helping you manage weight. One of the benefits most helpful to you, however, is its ability to neutralize anxiety and improve your mood.
Perform reality testing. You don’t have to become a slave to your anxious thoughts, giving them permission to get you all worked up. ___20___ Reality testing involves assessing a situation for errors in thinking. To assess the reality of this situation, you want to ask what evidence is there that says this is true. Did your friends actually call you lame Are they avoiding you

【点睛】1.在做完形填空时一定要注意and/but/so/besides/however/furthermore/moreover/in addition/what’s more等词汇、固定结构的运用。它们连接了上下文,起着承上启下的作用。像but(但是)、however(然而),表示转折,这说明前后的内容相反或相对。把握住这一点,做起题来就会得心应手。例如小题2,考查副词。A.otherwise要不然的话;B.therefore因此;C.however然而;D.besides另外。在这一天,我一反常态,起得早早的。与上文含对比转折之意。所以选however.
2. 上下文对照,抓关键词。
解完型填空题时,单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的,需要阅读下句或者若干句才能明白。所谓上下对照,即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。因此,在做题时要边读边在大脑中储存上下文信息的能力,捕捉关键词。小题17,考查副词。A.still仍然;B.yet还;C.again又;D.soon不久。前文说洗车工擦洗完挡风玻璃,就“standing back to admire it ”;当然洗干净车轮后又“standing back”to see…。故选C。

考查时态。句意:这条运河是古代帝国内陆交通和贸易系统的支柱。分析句子结构可知,此处为谓语动词,根据the ancient empire可知,此处描述的为过去古代帝国时期大运河的作用,所以此处应用一般过去时,function与句子主语The canal之间为主动关系。故填functioned。

【46题详解】
考查副词。句意:两岸的许多城镇发展起来,为古代中国的经济做出了巨大贡献。分析句子结构可知,此处为副词修饰动词contributing,huge的副词为hugely意为“巨大地”符合句意。故填hugely。
【47题详解】

【48题详解】
考查名词。句意:运河极大地促进了南北之间的经济互动和文化交流,确保了国家的稳定。分析句子结构可知,此处为名词作宾语,stable的名词为stability意为“稳定”且为不可数名词。故填stability。
【49题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:2019年,中国发布了一个为大运河建设国家文化公园的计划。分析句子结构可知,此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰plan,名词plan后面需用动词不定式作后置定语,且表示主动意义。故填to construct。
【50题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:近两年,大运河国家文化公园建设被确定为“十四五”规划的重点任务。分析句子结构可知,此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语During the last 2 years,此处应用一般过去时,主语building the Grand Canal national cultural parks和recognize之间是动宾关系,且动名词短语作主语时,谓语动词应使用单数。故填was recognized。

Suddenly a good idea occurs to me. “Why not get together with some good friends for a picnic in such a fine weather ” I immediately telephoned some of my best friends, but they all agreed to come to join me.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者像往常一样去上学,却发现今天是星期天,教室里没有人,最后作者邀请好朋友去野餐的故事。
【详解】1.考查固定短语。句意:今天早上我起得很早,像往常一样去上学,却发现教室里没有人,因为今天是星期天。as usual是固定短语,表示“像平常一样”。故将usually改为usual。

【答案】Dear Peter,
The picture is about a Chinese idiom “wen ji qi wu”. This idiom originated from a well-known story that happened in Xi Jin Dynasty. In order to serve their country well, two patriotic young men, named Zu Ti and Liu Kun, both got up and practiced sword playing the moment they heard the cock crow. Day by day and year in, year out, they never stopped. Later, they all made great contributions to protecting their country.
Nowadays, people usually use the phrase “rising up upon hearing the crow of a rooster to practice sword playing” to signify that someone is exerting himself to do something worthwhile. It is also used to describe that a person of noble aspirations exerts himself in time.
If you have any other questions about this idiom, please tell me.
