B
Had she been a singer, she might have been an American star. But Clora Bryant played the trumpet, and reputation came slowly. Bryant, a barrier breaker who stood firm in her determination to be a respected jazz trumpet player despite the open sexism (性别歧视) that shadowed her, died on August 25, in 2019, in Los Angeles, when she was 92. Life as a jazz trumpeter was an uphill battle, said her son Darrin. “It was a man’s world, and that made it hard for her. But that only fueled her fire, and made her more resolved.”
Bryant played the trumpet with such passion and she became a mainstay in the growing jazz scene in the 1940s. Dizzy Gillespie once told Times jazz critic Leonard Feather that Bryant was the most underrated (低估) trumpet player in L.A.
But by 1992, she was living on Social Security, staying at a son’s Long Beach, in California, apartment, and two of her trumpets were in the pawnshop (典当铺). “A lot of clubs have closed.” she told the Times. “And how many female trumpet players do you see working ”
Bryant and her brothers were raised by their father, a patient man who encouraged his children to think big. She wanted to be in the high school marching band, but Charles Bryant warned his daughter she’d likely face resistance. “But anything you want to do, I’m behind you,” she recalled. It was her father who encouraged her to do whatever she wanted to do that made her stronger and stronger.
4. What does the underlined word “resolved” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Adventurous. B. Unique. C. Emotional. D. Determined.
5. Why is “Social Security” mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To show people’s acts of kindness.
B. To prove Bryant’s struggle through life.
C. To explain how Bryant earned his living.
D. To stress the importance of the pawnshop.
6. What’s the key reason for Bryant’s being underrated
A. The open sexism from society.
B. The poor family background.
C. The terrible financial situation.
D. The mental pressure from colleagues.
7. What played an important role for Bryant to stick to her dream
A. Her son’s support. B. Her brothers’ company.
C. Her strict family education. D. Her father’s encouragement.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了小号乐手Bryant成名的过程很缓慢，得到的赞誉远不及她应得到的那么多，但是她越过人生的障碍，最终获得了成功。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Bryant, a barrier breaker who stood firm in her determination to be a respected jazz trumpet player despite the open sexism (性别歧视) that shadowed her”(Bryant虽然一辈子都被公然的性别歧视所困扰，但她突破屏障，下定决心要成为一名备受尊敬的爵士小号手)可知，Bryant虽然她一辈子都被公然的性别歧视所困扰，但她决心成为一名受尊敬的爵士小号手。结合划线词前“It was a man’s world, and that made it hard for her. But that only fueled her fire, and made her more resolved”(那是男人的世界，这让她很为难。但那只能点燃她的斗志，让她更加resolved)可知，性别歧视并未能阻挡Bryant成为一名爵士小号手，反而使她更加下定决心成为一名爵士小号手，所以可以推断出画线单词“resolved”意思是“下定决心的”，与“determined”意思一致。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But by 1992, she was living on Social Security, staying at a son’s Long Beach, in California, apartment, and two of her trumpets were in the pawnshop (典当铺).”(到了1992年，她却只能靠社会保险金生活，住在儿子位于加州长滩的公寓，两把小号都被送进了典当铺。)可推知，作者提及“社会保险金”是为了证实她当时经济状况的窘迫，从侧面反应她成名过程中的奋斗与艰辛。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Bryant, a barrier breaker who stood firm in her determination to be a respected jazz trumpet player despite the open sexism (性别歧视) that shadowed her, died on August 25, in 2019, in Los Angeles, when she was 92. Life as a jazz trumpeter was an uphill battle, said her son Darrin. “It was a man’s world, and that made it hard for her. But that only fueled her fire, and made her more resolved.””(Bryant虽然一辈子都被公然的性别歧视所困扰，但她突破屏障，下定决心要成为一名备受尊敬的爵士小号手。她的儿子Darrin说，爵士乐小号手的生活是一场艰苦的战斗。“那是个男人的世界，这让她很为难。但那只能点燃她的斗志，让她更加坚定要成为一名，爵士乐小号手。”)可推知，公然的性别歧视使得Bryant的成长历程充满艰辛，这也是她被低估的关键原因。故选A项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“It was her father who encouraged her to do whatever she wanted to do that made her stronger and stronger.”(正是她的父亲鼓励她去做任何她想做的事情，这使她变得越来越强大。)可知，父亲的鼓励是她坚持自己的梦想的关键，起到重要作用。故选D项。
C
More than half of Beijing’s adult single children don’t want to have two kids, even though the national policy allows them to do so.
The country’s family planning policy of the late 1970s restricted (限制) urban families from having more than one child to control population growth. However, a new survey shows 52 percent of those now-grown-up single children, who are allowed to have two children, do not want a second child.
Beijing has about 2 million only-child adults. Only 24 percent of them said they would like to have two children. More than a quarter of them would choose a “DINK” (double income, no kids lifestyle). Survey figures showed that respondents with a basic education wanted 1.1 children on average, those with a bachelor degree wanted 1.3, and those with masters or higher degrees wanted 1.5 children.
“Beijing has had a super low birth rate — less than 1.3 children in a family on average for nearly 20 years, causing increasing pressure on the country’s aging population,” Hou Yafei, a professor with the institute, said. Hou said that the top four factors that determined people’s desires to have children were “income, child care, housing and policy conditions” “The government should encourage couples from one-child families to have a second child and should provide better welfare services,” Hou said.
The survey also found that people with higher education backgrounds want to have more children because they are more confident about their future.
To promote a higher population growth rate, some provincial governments have relaxed rules and allowed more people to have more than one child. In Shanghai, the death rate has exceeded the birth rate for more than 10 years, and less than 30 percent of only-child couples have had a second child.
8. How many only-child adults in Beijing want to have a “DINK” lifestyle
A. About 280,000. B. About 480,000.
C. About 500,000. D. About 360,000.
9. Which is a key factor affecting people’s willingness to have children
A. Earnings. B. Ages
C. Parents care. D. Schooling policy.
10. What might the author agree with
A. The birth rate in Shanghai will increase soon.
B. The government has taken steps to change the situation.
C. The country’s family planning policy aims to help live longer.
D. People with lower education backgrounds want to have more kids.
11. What is this passage mainly about
A. Beijing has kept a super low birth rate for 20 years.
B. The country’s family planning policy should be stopped.
C. The government allows people to have more than one child.
D. Most Beijing only-child couples don’t want to have two children.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了即使国家政策允许生二胎，北京的独生子女大多数只想要一个孩子。该调查涵盖了成年独生子女的意愿和因素，显示只有24%的人想要两个孩子，还有超过四分之一的人选择“双收入无孩”生活方式。调查还指出，受教育程度较高的人更愿意生育，因为他们对未来更有信心。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Beijing has about 2 million only-child adults. (北京大约有200万成年独生子女。)”以及“More than a quarter of them would choose a “DINK” (double income, no kids) lifestyle. (超过四分之一的人会选择“丁克”(双收入，没有孩子)的生活方式。)”可知，约200万独生子女的四分之一会选择“丁克”，即约50万人会选择“丁克”。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Hou said that the top four factors that determined people’s desires to have children were “income, child care, housing and policy conditions”. (侯教授说决定人们是否想要孩子的前四个因素是“收入、儿童保育、住房和政策条件”。)”可知，影响人们生育意愿的关键因素是收入。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“To promote a higher population growth rate, some provincial governments have relaxed rules and allowed more people to have more than one child. (为了促进更高的人口增长率，一些省级政府放宽了政策，允许更多的人生育多个孩子。)”可知，很多省份为了改善和缓解当下生育问题，即促进人口增长率，已经采取了一些积极的措施。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“More than half of Beijing’s adult single children don’t want to have two kids, even though the national policy allows them to do so. (超过一半的北京成年独生子女不想要两个孩子，尽管国家政策允许他们这么做。)”可知，本文主要讲述的是即使国家政策允许生二胎，北京的独生子女大多数只想要一个孩子。所以“Most Beijing only-child couples don’t want to have two children. (大多数北京独生子女夫妇不想要两个孩子。)”是文章主要内容。故选D。
D
Older women who walk a little over three kilometers each day might live longer than less active women of the same age, a new study suggests.
Many Americans hoping to stay healthy set a daily goal of 10,000 steps, or about eight kilometers. They often have this goal because they are wearing electronic devices which set that target, note researchers in the United States. Their findings appeared recently in the publication JAMA Internal Medicine.
But it is not clear how much intensity (强度) or speed matter when counting the health benefits of every step, the researchers write. They add that 10,000 steps per day might not be the right goal for everyone.
For the study, researchers observed 17,000 women, all in their early 70s. They asked the women to wear accelerometers for at least four days. Accelerometers are small devices that measure the number of steps and the intensity of movement. The researchers followed up with the women much later, around 4 years later. Since the beginning of the study, 504 women had pared to women who took no more than 2,718 steps daily, the women who took at least 4,363 steps per day were 41 percent less likely to die.
“Even a modest amount of steps is associated with lower death rates.” said I-Min Lee, the lead writer of a report on the study. “The rate of stepping did not matter in these older women: it was the number of steps that mattered.”
The study had a few limitations. For example, the researchers only measured women’s movements once, at the start of the study period. It is possible that the women’s behaviors changed over time. Still, the results are “good news for older adults who may have difficulty walking at faster paces.” said Keith Diaz, a researcher at Columbia University. He was not involved in the study.
“Any walking is better than nothing” Diaz said by email. “With even small amounts of walking, your risk of death will be sharply reduced.” For those who have difficulty walking, other research shows that any form of aerobic activity provides health benefits, he added. “Swimming, bicycling or any form of activity that is continuous in nature will provide health benefits.”
12. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed
A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By listing figures. D. By explaining reasons.
13. What can be learned from what Diaz said
A. People who walk fast will get more health benefits.
B. People with walking difficulty can not benefit from activities.
C. If people have a habit of walking, the risk of death will be reduced.
D. Activities such as swimming and bicycling are not as beneficial as walking.
14. What conclusion can we come to from the text
A. People who walk about 10,000 steps can live longer.
B. 10,000 steps per day might be the right goal for people.
C. The more steps one walks per day, the longer life he may live.
D. The number of steps is important for a long life among older women.
15. Where is the text most likely from
A. A medical journal. B. A news report.
C. A magazine about fashion. D. A traveler brochure.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一个针对70多岁的女性进行的研究表明，每天步行稍稍超过3公里的老年女性可能比同龄不太活跃的女性寿命更长。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“For the study, researchers observed 17,000 women, all in their early 70s. They asked the women to wear accelerometers for at least four days. Accelerometers are small devices that measure the number of steps and the intensity of movement. The researchers followed up with the women much later, around 4 years later. Since the beginning of the study, 504 women had pared to women who took no more than 2,718 steps daily, the women who took at least 4,363 steps per day were 41 percent less likely to die. (在这项研究中，研究人员观察了1.7万名70岁出头的女性。他们要求这些女性佩戴加速度计至少4天。加速度计是测量步数和运动强度的小型设备。研究人员对这些女性进行了很长时间的跟踪调查，大约4年后。自研究开始以来，已有504名女性死亡。与每天不超过2718步的女性相比，每天至少走4363步的女性死亡的可能性要低41%。)”可知，该段中列举了一系列数字来说明这项研究结果，所以是通过列数字的方式来展开的。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Keith Diaz的话“Any walking is better than nothing (散步总比什么都不做强)”和“With even small amounts of walking, your risk of death will be sharply reduced. (即使是少量的步行，你的死亡风险也会大大降低。)”可推知，如果人们养成走路的习惯，死亡的风险就会降低。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“The rate of stepping did not matter in these older women: it was the number of steps that mattered. (对这些老年妇女来说，走路的速度并不重要，重要的是走路的步数。)”可知，对于老年妇女来说，步数对长寿很重要。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段“Older women who walk a little over three kilometers each day might live longer than less active women of the same age, a new study suggests. (一项新的研究表明，每天步行3公里多一点的老年女性可能比不太活跃的同龄女性寿命更长。)”可知，文章报道了步行和老年女性寿命之间的关系。这是一篇与健康相关的研究报道，最有可能出自医学杂志。故选A。

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。
I was in my room, feeling unwilling to head to the community theatre with “my brother” Henry. He had recently been adopted by my parents and I was not in the mood for being on stage with him.
“Kirstie, come here,” my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. “Henry’s book was in the bathtub. Did you put it there ” She glared at me, something she had never done before Henry came to our home. I hadn’t wet his book on purpose. Raindrops fell from my eyes. To make matters worse, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached. Henry was stealing my mother’s love. He was ruining my life.
Meanwhile, Henry was nearby, absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (绳结), something he liked to do. Why did a boy like him like doing girly work It seemed far from manly (男子汉气概).
Soon, it was time to set off to the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, “It will be Henry’s first time onstage. Be kind to him, honey.” I nodded but sighed (叹气). I hadn’t always found it this difficult to be kind. But since Henry had moved in, everything felt different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry involved, it didn’t seem so special any more. Finally, it was our stage time. My heart beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while. As we kids lined up, ready to act out our short play, I realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring on my skirt. Sure enough, my skirt began to drop. I could hear the audience laughing. Even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt, I could feel my face burst into flames. However, my hands were full. If only someone could help me out.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment. He immediately came to my aid. He pulled up my skirt and skillfully tied the drawstring with a beautiful knot. Seeing what Henry did for me, something deep in my mind began to change. It seemed as if my cold heart began to melt slowly and my annoyance at him gradually gave way to guilt. I regretted having treated him as a stranger. While my mind was wandering, our performance time came. It turned out a great success, thunderous applause filling the whole theatre.
After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully. “Thanks,” I said with a grateful smile on my face. I had to admit that but for his timely help, I would have been extremely embarrassed. Without his knotting skill, the performance would have been quite different. “KNOT a problem. You are my sister,” he grinned innocently, saying humorously. Surrounded by the cheerful atmosphere, I felt a flood of warmth of a big family. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to have a new person in my corner of the world after all.

Had she been a singer, she might have been an American star. But Clora Bryant played the trumpet, and reputation came slowly. Bryant, a barrier breaker who stood firm in her determination to be a respected jazz trumpet player despite the open sexism (性别歧视) that shadowed her, died on August 25, in 2019, in Los Angeles, when she was 92. Life as a jazz trumpeter was an uphill battle, said her son Darrin. “It was a man’s world, and that made it hard for her. But that only fueled her fire, and made her more resolved.”
Bryant played the trumpet with such passion and she became a mainstay in the growing jazz scene in the 1940s. Dizzy Gillespie once told Times jazz critic Leonard Feather that Bryant was the most underrated (低估) trumpet player in L.A.
But by 1992, she was living on Social Security, staying at a son’s Long Beach, in California, apartment, and two of her trumpets were in the pawnshop (典当铺). “A lot of clubs have closed.” she told the Times. “And how many female trumpet players do you see working ”
Bryant and her brothers were raised by their father, a patient man who encouraged his children to think big. She wanted to be in the high school marching band, but Charles Bryant warned his daughter she’d likely face resistance. “But anything you want to do, I’m behind you,” she recalled. It was her father who encouraged her to do whatever she wanted to do that made her stronger and stronger.
4. What does the underlined word “resolved” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Adventurous. B. Unique. C. Emotional. D. Determined.
5. Why is “Social Security” mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To show people’s acts of kindness.
B. To prove Bryant’s struggle through life.
C. To explain how Bryant earned his living.
D. To stress the importance of the pawnshop.
6. What’s the key reason for Bryant’s being underrated
A. The open sexism from society.
B. The poor family background.
C. The terrible financial situation.
D. The mental pressure from colleagues.
7. What played an important role for Bryant to stick to her dream
A. Her son’s support. B. Her brothers’ company.
C. Her strict family education. D. Her father’s encouragement.
C
More than half of Beijing’s adult single children don’t want to have two kids, even though the national policy allows them to do so.
The country’s family planning policy of the late 1970s restricted (限制) urban families from having more than one child to control population growth. However, a new survey shows 52 percent of those now-grown-up single children, who are allowed to have two children, do not want a second child.
Beijing has about 2 million only-child adults. Only 24 percent of them said they would like to have two children. More than a quarter of them would choose a “DINK” (double income, no kids lifestyle). Survey figures showed that respondents with a basic education wanted 1.1 children on average, those with a bachelor degree wanted 1.3, and those with masters or higher degrees wanted 1.5 children.
“Beijing has had a super low birth rate — less than 1.3 children in a family on average for nearly 20 years, causing increasing pressure on the country’s aging population,” Hou Yafei, a professor with the institute, said. Hou said that the top four factors that determined people’s desires to have children were “income, child care, housing and policy conditions” “The government should encourage couples from one-child families to have a second child and should provide better welfare services,” Hou said.
The survey also found that people with higher education backgrounds want to have more children because they are more confident about their future.
To promote a higher population growth rate, some provincial governments have relaxed rules and allowed more people to have more than one child. In Shanghai, the death rate has exceeded the birth rate for more than 10 years, and less than 30 percent of only-child couples have had a second child.
8. How many only-child adults in Beijing want to have a “DINK” lifestyle
A. About 280,000. B. About 480,000.
C. About 500,000. D. About 360,000.
9. Which is a key factor affecting people’s willingness to have children
A. Earnings. B. Ages
C. Parents care. D. Schooling policy.
10. What might the author agree with
A. The birth rate in Shanghai will increase soon.
B. The government has taken steps to change the situation.
C. The country’s family planning policy aims to help live longer.
D. People with lower education backgrounds want to have more kids.
11. What is this passage mainly about
A. Beijing has kept a super low birth rate for 20 years.
B. The country’s family planning policy should be stopped.
C. The government allows people to have more than one child.
D. Most Beijing only-child couples don’t want to have two children.
D
Older women who walk a little over three kilometers each day might live longer than less active women of the same age, a new study suggests.
Many Americans hoping to stay healthy set a daily goal of 10,000 steps, or about eight kilometers. They often have this goal because they are wearing electronic devices which set that target, note researchers in the United States. Their findings appeared recently in the publication JAMA Internal Medicine.
But it is not clear how much intensity (强度) or speed matter when counting the health benefits of every step, the researchers write. They add that 10,000 steps per day might not be the right goal for everyone.
For the study, researchers observed 17,000 women, all in their early 70s. They asked the women to wear accelerometers for at least four days. Accelerometers are small devices that measure the number of steps and the intensity of movement. The researchers followed up with the women much later, around 4 years later. Since the beginning of the study, 504 women had pared to women who took no more than 2,718 steps daily, the women who took at least 4,363 steps per day were 41 percent less likely to die.
“Even a modest amount of steps is associated with lower death rates.” said I-Min Lee, the lead writer of a report on the study. “The rate of stepping did not matter in these older women: it was the number of steps that mattered.”
The study had a few limitations. For example, the researchers only measured women’s movements once, at the start of the study period. It is possible that the women’s behaviors changed over time. Still, the results are “good news for older adults who may have difficulty walking at faster paces.” said Keith Diaz, a researcher at Columbia University. He was not involved in the study.
“Any walking is better than nothing” Diaz said by email. “With even small amounts of walking, your risk of death will be sharply reduced.” For those who have difficulty walking, other research shows that any form of aerobic activity provides health benefits, he added. “Swimming, bicycling or any form of activity that is continuous in nature will provide health benefits.”
12. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed
A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By listing figures. D. By explaining reasons.
13. What can be learned from what Diaz said
A. People who walk fast will get more health benefits.
B. People with walking difficulty can not benefit from activities.
C. If people have a habit of walking, the risk of death will be reduced.
D. Activities such as swimming and bicycling are not as beneficial as walking.
14. What conclusion can we come to from the text
A. People who walk about 10,000 steps can live longer.
B. 10,000 steps per day might be the right goal for people.
C. The more steps one walks per day, the longer life he may live.
D. The number of steps is important for a long life among older women.
15. Where is the text most likely from
A. A medical journal. B. A news report.
C. A magazine about fashion. D. A traveler brochure.

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。
I was in my room, feeling unwilling to head to the community theatre with “my brother” Henry. He had recently been adopted by my parents and I was not in the mood for being on stage with him.
“Kirstie, come here,” my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. “Henry’s book was in the bathtub. Did you put it there ” She glared at me, something she had never done before Henry came to our home. I hadn’t wet his book on purpose. Raindrops fell from my eyes. To make matters worse, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached. Henry was stealing my mother’s love. He was ruining my life.
Meanwhile, Henry was nearby, absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (绳结), something he liked to do. Why did a boy like him like doing girly work It seemed far from manly (男子汉气概).
Soon, it was time to set off to the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, “It will be Henry’s first time onstage. Be kind to him, honey.” I nodded but sighed (叹气). I hadn’t always found it this difficult to be kind. But since Henry had moved in, everything felt different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry involved, it didn’t seem so special any more. Finally, it was our stage time. My heart beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while. As we kids lined up, ready to act out our short play, I realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring on my skirt. Sure enough, my skirt began to drop. I could hear the audience laughing. Even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt, I could feel my face burst into flames. However, my hands were full. If only someone could help me out.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully.
