Who is a Real Danger Cyclists or Pedestrians
We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers.
Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably the worst offenders.
People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to their mobile phones, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.
The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.
—Michael Horan
I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.
I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and, on being asked what he was doing, shouted at me.
The government built a cycle lane on the road, but it is hardly used.
The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!
The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的) jackets and lights at night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.
—Carol Harvey
Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.
I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.
Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules. So why not cyclists
It’s about time they were registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle or cause an accident, at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim compensation.
—JML
Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.

Many of you may have used Siri, a voice assistant of US tech company Apple. You only have to say “hey Siri” and it will answer to your command. However, we may be sacrificing our privacy to enjoy this convenience.
According to a recent report by the Guardian, Siri can be accidentally triggered and start recording private conversations, such as discussions between doctors and patients. Some of these recordings are then given to workers outside the company to review.
Apple claimed the data was used to help Siri improve, but users were not informed of this measure in the first place.
Apple’s Siri is not the only voice assistant to come under fire.
In 2018, Alexa, a voice assistant developed by US tech company Amazon, recorded a private conversation between a couple and sent it to a stranger without their permission.
These issues deepened concerns that tech companies are infringing users’ rights of privacy.
Many people have long feared that tech companies are listening and collecting data from private conversations, reported Forbes. Using this data, third party companies could then paint an accurate picture of users’ habits and preferences in order to serve them more targeted advertisements, or even worse, sell this private data.
Despite this risk, the popularity of voice assistant seems to be unstoppable.
“In the near future, everything from your lighting to your air-conditioning to your refrigerator, your coffee maker, and even your toilet could be wired to a system controlled by voice,” commented The Atlantic.
Colin Horgan wrote on the blog site Medium that he believed people’s daily lives will soon become a source of data.
“The sounds of our homes, the symphony of life — laughing, crying, talking, shouting, sitting in silence — will no longer be considered memories, but data,” he wrote.
To deal with the issue, Blake Morgan, reporter for The Atlantic, believed that the answer is transparency.
“All companies need to have messaging ready to explain to customers what they do with private data,” she wrote on The Atlantic.
4. What does the underlined sentence mean
A. There are other fire-proof voice assistants.
B. Other voice assistants are also being developed.
C. There are other voice assistants being criticized.
D. Other voice assistants also need improvements.
5. What seems to be people’s biggest concern about voice assistants
A. Invading their privacy. B. Sending their message.
C. Making no improvements. D. Serving them targeted advertisements.
6. What should companies do to solve the problem, according to Blake Morgan
A. To stop collecting data through voice assistant.
B. To explain their use of the data to customers.
C. To make their data more transparent.
D. To slow down the pace of technology advancement.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To show visions of a data world in the future.
B. To inform people of what tech companies are really up to.
C. To draw attention to the privacy issue voice assistants bring about.
D. To criticize companies’ invading customers’ privacy by collecting data.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了语音助手会在用户不知情的情况下记录私人对话，从而导致用户隐私被侵犯的问题。就此问题不同人士发表了自己的看法。
【4题详解】
句意猜测题。根据下文In 2018, Alexa, a voice assistant developed by US tech company Amazon, recorded a private conversation between a couple and sent it to a stranger without their permission.可知，2018年，美国科技公司亚马逊(Amazon)开发的语音助手Alexa录制了一对夫妇之间的私人对话，并在未经允许的情况下将对话发送给了陌生人。所以划线句子意思为“除了苹果手机的Siri语音助手外，其他语音助手也受到了批评”。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中These issues deepened concerns that tech companies are infringing users’ rights of privacy.(这些问题加深了人们对科技公司侵犯用户隐私权的担忧。)以及第七段中Many people have long feared that tech companies are listening and collecting data from private conversations, reported Forbes.(据《福布斯》报道，长期以来，很多人都担心科技公司会监听和收集私人谈话中的数据。)可知，侵犯人们的隐私似乎是人们对语音助手最大的担忧。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“All companies need to have messaging ready to explain to customers what they do with private data,” she wrote on The Atlantic.(她在The Atlantic上写道：“所有公司都需要准备好信息，向客户解释他们如何处理私人数据。”)可知，Blake Morgan表示，企业应该向客户解释它们如何使用这些数据来解决问题。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中According to a recent report by the Guardian, Siri can be accidentally triggered and start recording private conversations, such as discussions between doctors and patients. Some of these recordings are then given to workers outside the company to review.(根据《卫报》(the Guardian)最近的一篇报道，Siri可能会被意外触发，并开始记录私人对话，比如医生和病人之间的讨论。其中一些录音会交给公司外的员工审阅。)以及第三段Apple claimed the data was used to help Siri improve, but users were not informed of this measure in the first place.(苹果公司声称这些数据是用来帮助Siri改进的，但用户一开始就不知道这项措施。)以及文章主要讨论了语音助手带来的隐私问题，可推知文章的目的是为了引起大家对于语音助手带来的隐私问题的注意。故选C。
C
Everyone would agree that it is parents’ job to teach their kids right from wrong. The rise in teen crime suggests that some parents are failing at these tasks. To correct the problem, lawmakers in some states require parents to serve jail time when their children get into serious trouble again and again. The lawmakers hope that this punishment will motivate parents to take their responsibilities seriously.
Supporters of these laws believe that the threat of jail will scare parents into paying more attention to their teens’ behavior than before. They think that these parents would be happy to let the state try to straighten out their kids at juvenile detention centers (少管所), because the centers took the responsibility off the parents’ shoulders. With the new laws, the responsibility is put back on the parents. “The hope is,” a supporter said, “that if parents are held legally responsible, they’ll work harder to keep their youngsters in line.”
However, many people think the laws are unfair. They argue that parents should not be punished for the criminal acts of their children, unless it can be shown there is a contributory fault on the parents’ part.
People who oppose parental responsibility laws also believe that punishing parents won’t create a change in the kids’ behavior. These people argue that parents may not be at fault. The children of good parents can fall in with the wrong kids and get into trouble, they say. Worse yet, if mom is in jail, there may be no one at all to control her kid. …
The unfortunate fact is that jailing a parent punishes the rest of the family. The jailed parent cannot work to help support the family and may also be fired from a job for missing too much work. Furthermore, little evidence exists to support the idea that the threat of punishment improves a parent’s ability to control a teenager. Opponents of parental responsibility laws say that parents who are in this situation need help, not a jail sentence.
8. The phrase “keep their youngsters in line” (in Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. get their kids to stay at home B. make their kids behave well
C. help their kids make a living D. require their kids to queue in public
9. Which of the following sentences may best end Paragraph 4
A. So, they believe that it’s easy for mom to control her kid’s behavior.
B. So, they believe that mom should be jailed for her contributory fault.
C. So, they believe that lack of mom’s control may then lead to more crime.
D. So, they believe that mom’s control has a negative effect on her kid’s behavior.
10 Opponents of parental responsibility laws think that ________.
A. parents should never be punished for their kids’ crimes
B. jailing a parent may drive the family into a worse situation
C. the laws are unfair even if they help parents control their kids
D. responsible parents needn’t worry that their kids will commit crimes
11. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Whether parents should be jailed for their kids’ criminal acts.
B. How parents deal with young troublemakers in their daily life.
C. What parents need when their kids commit crimes again and again.
D. Why laws should be made to hold parents responsible for their kids.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文。主要讨论孩子犯罪时，父母应不应该坐牢。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Everyone would agree that it is parents’ job to teach their kids right from wrong. The rise in teen crime suggests that some parents are failing at these tasks.”（每个人都认为教给孩子分清好与坏是父母的事情。青少年犯罪率的上升表明有些父母没有承担好这项责任。）可知，因为父母没有教育好孩子才导致孩子犯罪，所以“ if parents are held legally responsible, they’ll work harder to keep their youngsters in line.”这句话的意思应该是：如果父母被从法律上约束着对这样的事情负责，那么他们将会投入更多的精力去保持他们的孩子们懂规矩，不犯罪。所以“keep their youngsters in line”的意思应该是“让他们的孩子们懂规矩”。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据上文“The children of good parents can fall in with the wrong kids and get into trouble”（好的父母的孩子们可能会跟坏孩子们在一起玩并陷入麻烦）可知，如果因为孩子犯罪，母亲再被判刑，那么很有可能就更加没有人管孩子，孩子犯罪的可能就会更大了。所以这一段的总结应该是：他们相信，没有了母亲的约束可能会导致孩子们犯更多的罪。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四、五段“Worse yet, if mom is in jail, there may be no one at all to control her kid. …The unfortunate fact is that jailing a parent punishes the rest of the family. The jailed parent cannot work to help support the family and may also be fired from a job for missing too much work. Furthermore, little evidence exists to support the idea that the threat of punishment improves a parent’s ability to control a teenager.”（ 更糟糕的是，如果妈妈在监狱里，可能根本没有人能控制她的孩子。……不幸的是，把父母关起来就是在惩罚家里的其他人。被监禁的父母不能工作来帮助养家，也可能因为错过太多工作而被解雇。此外，几乎没有证据表明惩罚的威胁能提高父母控制青少年的能力。）可知，反对父母责任法的人认为，对父母的惩罚会使得他们的家庭生活更加的糟糕。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的内容可以判断，这篇文章主要讲述父母应不应该因为孩子犯罪而坐牢。故选A。
D
To many people, honey bees symbolize prosperity (兴旺), sustainability and environmentalism. But as a honey bee researcher, I have to tell you that only the first item on that list is defensible. Although they are important for agriculture, honey bees also destabilize naturar ecosystems by competing with native bees - some of which are species at risk.
The rise in hobby beekeeping, now a trendy activity for hundreds of thousands of Americans, followed strong awareness campaigns to “save the bees.” But as a species, honey bees are least in need of saving Sheila Colla, a conservation biologist, says, “People mistakenly think helping honey bees is somehow helping native bees. They have a surprisingly poor understanding of the diversity of pollinators (传粉者) and their roles in pollination.”
There are millions of honey bee colonies (群) in NorthAmerica. Around 30,000 bees per colony, that’s roughly a billion honey bees in Canada and the U.s. alone. Huge numbers of honey bee colonies increase competition between native pollinators, putting even more pressure on the wild species that are already in decline. Honey bees are extreme generalist foragers (觅食者), leading to exploitative competition — that is , where one species uses up a resource, not leaving enough to go around.
Alfredo Valido and Pedro Jordano, researchers from the spanish National Research Council, used the Canary Islands to study how honey bees affect the native pollinating community. In the highlands of the islands’ Teide National Park, thousands of honey bee colonies are introduced seasonally for honey production and removed again at the end of the flower season, creating an excellent condition for experimentation. Their results do not make honey bees look like the sustainability celebrities they have become. Bringing in honey bees reduced the conneetedness of the plant-pollinator networks. Besides, the resilience (恢复力) of the ecosystem has also declined.
I used to believe that honey bees were a gateway species, and that concern over their health and prosperity would spread to native bees, benefitting them, too. However, evidence shows that misguided enthusiasm for honey bees has likely been the native bees’ disaster.
12. How does the auther feel about the rise in hobby beekeeping
A. Confused. B. Concerned. C. Surprised. D. Pleased.
13. How are native pollinators affected by introduced honey bees
A. They have trouble finding food. B. They become generalist foragers.
C. They get protected as honey bees. D. They fail to form their own colonies.
14. What did the experiment on the Canary Islands show concerning hone bees
A. They fitted into the native pollinating community.
B. They improved the sustainability of the islands.
C. They slowed the recovery of the ecosystem.
D. They shortened the flower season.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. The threat to honey bees B. The problem with honey bees
C. Save the bees, save the planet D. Focus on honey bees, not native bees
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了家养蜜蜂有可能与本地蜜蜂竞争从而冬至自然生态环境被破坏的情况。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。第一段最后一句提到“Although they are important for agriculture, honey bees also destabilize natural ecosystems by competing with native bees - some of which are species at risk.”（尽管蜜蜂对农业很重要，但它们也通过与本地蜜蜂竞争而破坏自然生态系统的稳定——其中一些是处于危险中的物种。）和最后一段提到“However, evidence shows that misguided enthusiasm for honey bees has likely been the native bees’ disaster.”（然而，有证据表明，对蜜蜂的错误热情可能是本地蜜蜂的灾难。）作者认为外来的蜜蜂可能会对本地的蜜蜂造成一些竞争和破坏。由此判断，作者对于养蜂爱好者持担忧的态度。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。第三段中“Huge numbers of honey bee colonies increase competition between native pollinators, putting even more pressure on the wild species that are already in decline. Honey bees are extreme generalist foragers (觅食者), leading to exploitative competition — that is , where one species uses up a resource, not leaving enough to go around.”（大量的蜂群增加了本地传粉者之间的竞争，给已经减少的野生物种带来了更大的压力。蜜蜂是极端的多面手觅食者，这导致了剥削性竞争——也就是说，一个物种耗尽了资源，没有足够的资源留给其他物种。）作者提到因为蜜蜂会进行剥削性的竞争，觅食完之后不会给其他物种留下食物，因此大量涌入的蜂群会使得本地的蜜蜂的食物减少，存在没办法觅食的情况。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。第四段最后两句提到“Bringing in honey bees reduced the conneetedness of the plant-pollinator networks. Besides, the resilience (恢复力) of the ecosystem has also declined.”（引进蜜蜂减少了植物传粉者网络的连通性。此外，生态系统的恢复力也有所下降。）在加那利群岛研究蜜蜂如何影响当地的授粉群落的结果显示，蜜蜂的引进不仅影响了当地植物的授粉，同时当地生态系统的恢复力也下降了，说明蜜蜂的引入也减缓了生态系统的恢复。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段最后一句“Although they are important for agriculture, honey bees also destabilize natural ecosystems by competing with native bees - some of which are species at risk.”（尽管蜜蜂对农业很重要，但它们也通过与本地蜜蜂竞争而破坏自然生态系统的稳定——其中一些是处于危险中的物种。）可知，文章第一段提到了蜜蜂的引进可能会破坏当地生态系统的稳定性，同时后文通过介绍加那利群岛上对蜜蜂的研究也提到了大量引入蜜蜂也会减缓当地生态系统恢复。由此判断，全文提到蜜蜂所带来的一些问题。B项“The problem with honey bees”（蜜蜂所带来的问题）表述合理，适合做文章标题。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When everything goes wrong, always look at what you have, instead of what you have lost. Because it’s not what the world takes away from you that counts; it’s what you do with what you have left. ____16____
Pain is part of growing.
____17____ That’s a good thing because we often won’t move unless life forces us to. When times are tough, remind yourself that no pain comes without a purpose. Remember that there are two kinds of pain: pain that hurts and pain that changes you. When you roll with life, instead of resisting it, both kinds help you grow.
____18____
Every time you get hurt, you heal. After darkness there is always light – you are reminded of this every morning, but still you often forget, and instead choose to believe that the night will last forever. It won’t. Nothing lasts forever.
Complaining changes nothing.
Those who complain the most, accomplish the least. ____19____ It’s not over if you’ve lost; it’s over when you do nothing but complain about it. If you believe in something, keep trying. Don’t let the shadows of the past darken the doorstep of your future.
The best thing you can do is to keep going.
Don’t be afraid to get back up -- to try again, to love again, to live again, and to dream again. Don’t let a hard lesson harden your heart. Life’s best lessons are often learned at the worst times and from the worst mistakes. There will be times when it seems like everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong. ____20____
A. And even if you fall short, keep going.
B. Everything in life is temporary.
C. Here are a few tips to inspire you when you need it most.
D. Your scars are symbols of your strength.
E. When you feel like quitting, remember that sometimes things can be right eventually.
F. It’s always better to attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.
G. Sometimes life closes doors because it’s time to move forward.
【答案】16. C 17. G 18. B 19. F 20. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些能够激励我们勇敢面对挫折和失败的建议。
【16题详解】
上文“When everything goes wrong, always look at what you have, instead of what you have lost. Because it’s not what the world takes away from you that counts; it’s what you do with what you have left. (当一切都不顺利的时候，总是看看你拥有什么，而不是你失去了什么。因为重要的不是这个世界从你身上夺走了什么；重要的是你如何利用剩下的东西。)”提到了当人生遇到困难的时候，我们应该怎样做，选项C“这里有一些建议可以在你最需要的时候激励你。”承接上文，说明本文主题，为我们提供一些克服困难的建议。故选C项。
【17题详解】
下文“That’s a good thing because we often won’t move unless life forces us to. (这是一件好事，因为除非生活强迫我们，否则我们通常是不会动的。)”说明不顺利的生活可能是让我们前进的动力，选项G“有时候，生活关上了一扇门，因为是时候前进了。”引领下文，说明生活不顺利，可能是我们需要努力前进了。下文中That指选项中life closes doors这件事，语义一致，故选G项。
【18题详解】
下文“Every time you get hurt, you heal. After darkness there is always light – you are reminded of this every morning, but still you often forget, and instead choose to believe that the night will last forever. It won’t. Nothing lasts forever.(每次受伤，你都会痊愈。黑暗之后总有光明——每天早晨你都被提醒这一点，但你仍然经常忘记，而选择相信黑夜是永远的。它不会。没有什么是永恒的。)”说明生活中的不顺利不是永远的，选项B“生活中的一切都是暂时的。”符合本段主题，适合做小标题。故选B项。
【19题详解】
上文小标题“Complaining changes nothing.(抱怨改变不了什么。)”和下文“It’s not over if you’ve lost; it’s over when you do nothing but complain about it.(如果你输了，一切还没有结束；当你除了抱怨什么都不做的时候，一切就结束了。)”说明抱怨改变不了什么，只知道抱怨，不去尝试的话，那什么也收获不了，选项F“尝试做一些伟大的事情而失败，总比什么都不做而成功好。”引领下文，鼓励大胆尝试，不要怕输，也不必抱怨，和下文之间存在因果关系。故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文小标题“The best thing you can do is to keep going.(你能做的最好的事情就是继续前进。)”和上文“Don’t be afraid to get back up--to try again, to love again, to live again, and to dream again.(不要害怕重新站起来——再试一次，再爱一次，再生活一次，再梦想一次。)”说明你能做的最好的事情就是坚持下去，不要因为失败就停止前进，选项A“即使你达不到目标，也要继续努力。”呼应小标题和上文，说明不管结果如何，也要继续努力。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍位于中国西北部的甘肃省张掖国家地质公园里的丹霞地貌。
【36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：张掖国家地质公园位于中国西北部甘肃省，拥有壮观的丹霞地貌，面积约1289平方公里。句子结构分析可知，该句为非限制性定语从句，先行词Zhangye National Geopark指物，且为单数形式，从句中缺少谓语，由此可知，设空处在句中作谓语动词，且陈述一般事实，应使用一般现在时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填lies。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：张掖国家地质公园位于中国西北部甘肃省，拥有壮观的丹霞地貌，面积约1289平方公里。句子结构分析可知，设空处在句中作后置定语，修饰名词短语 a splendid Danxia landform area, a splendid Danxia landform area与动词cover为逻辑上的主谓关系，设空处应填cover的现在分词形式。故填covering。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：丹霞地貌是大自然的杰作。masterpiece为可数名词，此句中表达“大自然的一项杰作”，表泛指，用不定冠词修饰可数名词单数，且masterpiece起始音为辅音音素，用不定冠词a。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：火红色、奶油橙色、丰富的绿色和明亮的黄色条纹横贯山脉，形成了被称为最美丽的彩虹山。句子结构分析可知，“____4____ is known as the most beautiful rainbow mountain”为名词性从句作form的宾语，设空处在宾语从句中作主语，指物，表示“……的事物”，可用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：这些美丽的景观是由多年来由于构造板块运动而堆积在一起的砂岩和矿物质形成的。设空处在句中作谓语动词，由下文可知此句阐述发生在过去的事实，用一般过去时态，主语The incredible landscapes与create之间为被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动，The incredible landscapes作主语，谓语动词用复数。故填were created。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：风、雨和时间把岩层和起伏的丘陵雕刻成各种不同的形状，包括塔、柱和山谷。分析句子结构可知，空处应使用形容词修饰名词shapes，vary形容词两种形式various或varied均可。故填various/varied。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：2010年被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产，2011年被列为国家公园，这一地貌已成为顶级旅游景点。分析句子结构可知，设空处为非谓语动词，动词declare与其逻辑主语the landform之间为动宾关系，设空处应填过去分词表被动，设空处置于句首，首字母大写。故填Declared。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：2010年被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产，2011年被列为国家公园，这一地貌已成为顶级旅游景点。设空处在句中作表语，由空前的冠词a可知设空处应填可数名词单数形式作表语，attraction“向往的地方;有吸引力的事”为可数名词，tourist attraction意为“旅游胜地，旅游景点”符合句意。故填attraction。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：这里有专门设计的观景台，让游客在不破坏脆弱的生态系统的情况下，可以接近群山，饱览壮丽的景色。设空处在句中作状语修饰动词designed，副词specially“专门地；特意”符合句意。故填specially。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：有穿梭巴士服务，方便游客游览公园。句子结构以及句意分析可知，设空处为形式宾语，“to get around the park”是真正的宾语，设空处填it作形式宾语。故填it。
第四部分 单词填空(没空1分;满分15分)
第一节 用所给单词的正确形式填空，每空1分，共5分。
46. Some students act this way merely because they are afraid of _________ (call on) by the teacher. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】being called on
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：有些学生这样做仅仅是因为他们害怕被老师点名。分析句子可知，空处作介词of的宾语，应用动名词形式，且call on和其逻辑主语they之间是被动关系，需用动名词的被动语态。故填being called on。
47. In Japan, someone who witnesses another person ________the gesture might think it means money. (employ) (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】employing
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：在日本，一个人看到另一个人用这个手势，可能认为这表示金钱。分析题干可知，“who witnesses another person _______the gesture”是who引导的定语从句，从句中已有谓语动词“witnesses”，故空处需要用非谓语动词形式，witness sb doing sth表示“目击（看到）某人正在做某事”符合句意。故填employing。
48. So if a student has his head_________ (lower)to look at his watch, it implies he is bored and just counting the minutes for the class to end. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】lowered
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语。句意：所以，如果一个学生低着头看表，这意味着他很无聊，只是在数着下课的时间。分析句子结构可知，此处是“have sth.done”结构，意为“让某人做某事”，head与lower之间是动宾关系，用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填lowered。
49. ___________（follow）the reindeer were the Sami people, who made this territory their home.(所给词适当形式填空)
【答案】Following
【解析】
【详解】考查倒装。句意：跟在驯鹿后面的是萨米人，他们在这片土地上安家。分析句子结构，句子“__________（follow）the reindeer were the Sami people”是倒装结构，句子正常语序为the Sami people were_________（follow）the reindeer，follow the reindeer应是现在分词短语作表语，将表语提前构成倒装。故填Following。
50. _______(ban) from going outside made me live a miserable life. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Being banned
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：被禁止外出使我过着悲惨的生活。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作主语，结合句意，此处描述的为经常性动作，所以使用动名词作主语，且表示被动意义，所以使用动名词的被动形式being banned，因位于句首，being的首字母需大写。故填Being banned。
第二节用unit1-5所学单词或短语的正确形式完成下面句子，每空1分，共10分。
51. The common ________(假设) then was that it could not be done. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】assumption
【解析】

52. I wake up to the sound of the wind ________ (击打，拍打) the cloth of my tent.(根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】buffeting
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我被风拍打帐篷布的声音惊醒。“击打，拍打”用动词buffet；作介词宾语，且与其逻辑主语wind之间是主动关系，用动名词buffeting。故填buffeting。
53. In France, a person encountering an ______(相同的)gesture may interpret it as meaning zero. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】identical
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：在法国，遇到相同手势的人可能会把它理解为零。根据句意及汉语提示，可知为identical，设空处应为形容词修饰空后的名词gesture，故填identical。
54. They may also hide their faces in their hands like they are ________(尴尬) or ashamed. （根据汉语提示单词拼写）
【答案】embarrassed
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：当人们感到尴尬或羞愧时，他们可能会用手捂住脸。根据汉语提示及句意可知，此处表示“人的感受”，意为“尴尬的”应用embarrassed，为形容词，在本句中作表语。故填embarrassed。
55. Whichever and whatever you like, there is an ___________ (难以置信的) theme park that will appeal to you. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】incredible
【解析】

【答案】Nevertheless
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：尽管如此，大多数新住户开始使用这项新技术还需要几年的时间。nevertheless尽管如此，位于句首，在句中作状语，修饰整个句子，用副词。根据汉语提示及句意，故填Nevertheless。
57. A smile can ________ ________ (消除) barriers. (根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】 ①. break ②. down
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。句意：微笑可以消除障碍。break down“打破，消除”，作谓语动词，在情态动词can后用原形。故填break down。
58. In other countries, _________________ _________________(相反), eye contact is not always approved of. （根据汉语提示完成句子）
【答案】 ①. by ②. contrast
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语。句意：相反，在其它国家，眼神的交流并不总是被认可。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里考查“相反”对应的介词短语by contrast，作状语。故填by contrast。
59. Since reindeer were always on the move, the Sami would pick up their tents and ________（陪伴）them. （根据汉语提示单词拼写）
【答案】accompany
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意：由于驯鹿是在移动，萨米人会收拾他们的帐篷，陪着他们。would后接动词原形 pick up 和“ 陪伴”， 陪伴为“ accompany”。故填accompany。
60. In fact, Einstein often ______(偶然遇到) people on the street who would stop him and ask him to help explain things. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】encountered
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意：事实上，爱因斯坦经常在街上遇到有人拦住他，请他帮忙解释一些事情。根据汉语意思提示可知，此处为动词encounter“偶然遇到”，满足句意要求，结合从句中动词would stop可知，此处动词也应为过去时形式。故填encountered。
第五部分 书面表达(满分25分)
61. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语编写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was a single mother in my 30s who lived down and out with my daughter Peggy in a small apartment, struggling hard to make our needs meet.
One day, I headed to the downtown for an interview. I sat down in the streetcar, and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle decorated with gold scrolls, among which there was a name carved.
On impulse(冲动) I determined to find the owner myself. I got off the streetcar in the heavy rain and thankfully opened the umbrella to protect myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the name, I found it immediately and called it, waiting patiently, and then a lady answered.
"Yes, “she said in surprise, with extreme excitement." It was my umbrella which had been stolen a year ago.”
So appealing was her pleasure that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to her small house. She took the umbrella, with teary eyes, explaining with choking voice that the umbrella was given by her parents, now dead, Her happiness at retrieving(找回)this special possession was such that to have accepted her reward would have spoiled something, so I refused her offer and left.
The following months were hard. I can only obtain temporary employment, for a small salary. What was worse, I had just lost my last job before Christmas, with only fifteen dollars left. Unless a miracle happened, I would be homeless in January, foodless and jobless. I had prayed steadily for weeks, and there had been no answer but this coldness and darkness.
The air was full of Christmas merriment, with the bells ringing and children shouting in the bitter dusk of the evening. But there should be no Christmas for me, I knew, no gifts, no remembrance whatsoever.
Thinking of this, I couldn’t control my tears on my way home, but I managed a smile so could greet my little daughter. She opened the door for me and threw herself in my arms, screaming joyously and demanding desirably for her Christmas gift. There I stood, frozen, overwhelmed by misery.

Suddenly, a note attached to one package caught my eyes. I picked up the note, which read "Thanks for returning of the umbrella. Merry Christmas! ""It was sent by the lady. Holding the note tightly, I was on the verge of tears, with a stream of warmth spreading through my body. On that cold Christmas, I forgot I had no money for the rent and only fifteen dollars in my pocket. We just sat in our small apartment unwrapping the gifts one by one in happiness. A sweet peace flooded me like a blessing which made me hopeful again.

A
Who is a Real Danger Cyclists or Pedestrians
We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers.
Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably the worst offenders.
People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to their mobile phones, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.
The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.
—Michael Horan
I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.
I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and, on being asked what he was doing, shouted at me.
The government built a cycle lane on the road, but it is hardly used.
The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!
The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的) jackets and lights at night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.
—Carol Harvey
Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.
I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.
Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules. So why not cyclists
It’s about time they were registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle or cause an accident, at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim compensation.

Many of you may have used Siri, a voice assistant of US tech company Apple. You only have to say “hey Siri” and it will answer to your command. However, we may be sacrificing our privacy to enjoy this convenience.
According to a recent report by the Guardian Siri can be accidentally triggered and start recording private conversations, such as discussions between doctors and patients. Some of these recordings are then given to workers outside the company to review.
Apple claimed the data was used to help Siri improve, but users were not informed of this measure in the first place.
Apple’s Siri is not the only voice assistant to come under fire.
In 2018, Alexa, a voice assistant developed by US tech company Amazon, recorded a private conversation between a couple and sent it to a stranger without their permission.
These issues deepened concerns that tech companies are infringing users’ rights of privacy.
Many people have long feared that tech companies are listening and collecting data from private conversations, reported Forbes. Using this data, third party companies could then paint an accurate picture of users’ habits and preferences in order to serve them more targeted advertisements, or even worse, sell this private data.
Despite this risk, the popularity of voice assistant seems to be unstoppable.
“In the near future, everything from your lighting to your air-conditioning to your refrigerator, your coffee maker, and even your toilet could be wired to a system controlled by voice,” commented The Atlantic.
Colin Horgan wrote on the blog site Medium that he believed people’s daily lives will soon become a source of data.
“The sounds of our homes, the symphony of life — laughing, crying, talking, shouting, sitting in silence — will no longer be considered memories, but data,” he wrote.
To deal with the issue, Blake Morgan, reporter for The Atlantic, believed that the answer is transparency.
“All companies need to have messaging ready to explain to customers what they do with private data,” she wrote on The Atlantic.
4. What does the underlined sentence mean
A. There are other fire-proof voice assistants.
B. Other voice assistants are also being developed.
C. There are other voice assistants being criticized.
D. Other voice assistants also need improvements.
5. What seems to be people’s biggest concern about voice assistants
A. Invading their privacy. B. Sending their message.
C. Making no improvements. D. Serving them targeted advertisements.
6. What should companies do to solve the problem, according to Blake Morgan
A. To stop collecting data through voice assistant.
B. To explain their use of the data to customers.
C. To make their data more transparent.
D. To slow down the pace of technology advancement.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To show visions of a data world in the future.
B. To inform people of what tech companies are really up to.
C. To draw attention to the privacy issue voice assistants bring about.
D. To criticize companies’ invading customers’ privacy by collecting data.

Everyone would agree that it is parents’ job to teach their kids right from wrong. The rise in teen crime suggests that some parents are failing at these tasks. To correct the problem, lawmakers in some states require parents to serve jail time when their children get into serious trouble again and again. The lawmakers hope that this punishment will motivate parents to take their responsibilities seriously.
Supporters of these laws believe that the threat of jail will scare parents into paying more attention to their teens’ behavior than before. They think that these parents would be happy to let the state try to straighten out their kids at juvenile detention centers (少管所), because the centers took the responsibility off the parents’ shoulders. With the new laws, the responsibility is put back on the parents. “The hope is,” a supporter said, “that if parents are held legally responsible, they’ll work harder to keep their youngsters in line.”
However, many people think the laws are unfair. They argue that parents should not be punished for the criminal acts of their children, unless it can be shown there is a contributory fault on the parents’ part.
People who oppose parental responsibility laws also believe that punishing parents won’t create a change in the kids’ behavior. These people argue that parents may not be at fault. The children of good parents can fall in with the wrong kids and get into trouble, they say. Worse yet, if mom is in jail, there may be no one at all to control her kid. …
The unfortunate fact is that jailing a parent punishes the rest of the family. The jailed parent cannot work to help support the family and may also be fired from a job for missing too much work. Furthermore, little evidence exists to support the idea that the threat of punishment improves a parent’s ability to control a teenager. Opponents of parental responsibility laws say that parents who are in this situation need help, not a jail sentence.
8. The phrase “keep their youngsters in line” (in Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. get their kids to stay at home B. make their kids behave well
C. help their kids make a living D. require their kids to queue in public
9. Which of the following sentences may best end Paragraph 4
A. So, they believe that it’s easy for mom to control her kid’s behavior.
B. So, they believe that mom should be jailed for her contributory fault.
C. So, they believe that lack of mom’s control may then lead to more crime.
D. So, they believe that mom’s control has a negative effect on her kid’s behavior.
10. Opponents of parental responsibility laws think that ________.
A. parents should never be punished for their kids’ crimes
B. jailing a parent may drive the family into a worse situation
C. the laws are unfair even if they help parents control their kids
D. responsible parents needn’t worry that their kids will commit crimes
11. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Whether parents should be jailed for their kids’ criminal acts.
B. How parents deal with young troublemakers in their daily life.
C. What parents need when their kids commit crimes again and again.
D. Why laws should be made to hold parents responsible for their kids.
D
To many people, honey bees symbolize prosperity (兴旺), sustainability and environmentalism. But as a honey bee researcher, I have to tell you that only the first item on that list is defensible. Although they are important for agriculture, honey bees also destabilize naturar ecosystems by competing with native bees - some of which are species at risk.
The rise in hobby beekeeping, now a trendy activity for hundreds of thousands of Americans, followed strong awareness campaigns to “save the bees.” But as a species, honey bees are least in need of saving Sheila Colla, a conservation biologist, says, “People mistakenly think helping honey bees is somehow helping native bees. They have a surprisingly poor understanding of the diversity of pollinators (传粉者) and their roles in pollination.”
There are millions of honey bee colonies (群) in NorthAmerica. Around 30,000 bees per colony, that’s roughly a billion honey bees in Canada and the U.s. alone. Huge numbers of honey bee colonies increase competition between native pollinators, putting even more pressure on the wild species that are already in decline. Honey bees are extreme generalist foragers (觅食者), leading to exploitative competition — that is , where one species uses up a resource, not leaving enough to go around.
Alfredo Valido and Pedro Jordano, researchers from the spanish National Research Council, used the Canary Islands to study how honey bees affect the native pollinating community. In the highlands of the islands’ Teide National Park, thousands of honey bee colonies are introduced seasonally for honey production and removed again at the end of the flower season, creating an excellent condition for experimentation. Their results do not make honey bees look like the sustainability celebrities they have become. Bringing in honey bees reduced the conneetedness of the plant-pollinator networks. Besides, the resilience (恢复力) of the ecosystem has also declined.
I used to believe that honey bees were a gateway species, and that concern over their health and prosperity would spread to native bees, benefitting them, too. However, evidence shows that misguided enthusiasm for honey bees has likely been the native bees’ disaster.
12. How does the auther feel about the rise in hobby beekeeping
A. Confused. B. Concerned. C. Surprised. D. Pleased.
13. How are native pollinators affected by introduced honey bees
A. They have trouble finding food. B. They become generalist foragers.
C. They get protected as honey bees. D. They fail to form their own colonies.
14. What did the experiment on the Canary Islands show concerning hone bees
A. They fitted into the native pollinating community.
B. They improved the sustainability of the islands.
C. They slowed the recovery of the ecosystem.
D. They shortened the flower season.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. The threat to honey bees B. The problem with honey bees
C. Save the bees, save the planet D. Focus on honey bees, not native bees

I was a single mother in my 30s who lived down and out with my daughter Peggy in a small apartment, struggling hard to make our needs meet.
One day, I headed to the downtown for an interview. I sat down in the streetcar, and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle decorated with gold scrolls, among which there was a name carved.
On impulse(冲动) I determined to find the owner myself. I got off the streetcar in the heavy rain and thankfully opened the umbrella to protect myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the name, I found it immediately and called it, waiting patiently, and then a lady answered.
"Yes, “she said in surprise, with extreme excitement." It was my umbrella which had been stolen a year ago.”
So appealing was her pleasure that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to her small house. She took the umbrella, with teary eyes, explaining with choking voice that the umbrella was given by her parents, now dead, Her happiness at retrieving(找回)this special possession was such that to have accepted her reward would have spoiled something, so I refused her offer and left.
The following months were hard. I can only obtain temporary employment, for a small salary. What was worse, I had just lost my last job before Christmas, with only fifteen dollars left. Unless a miracle happened, I would be homeless in January, foodless and jobless. I had prayed steadily for weeks, and there had been no answer but this coldness and darkness.
The air was full of Christmas merriment, with the bells ringing and children shouting in the bitter dusk of the evening. But there should be no Christmas for me, I knew, no gifts, no remembrance whatsoever.
Thinking of this, I couldn’t control my tears on my way home, but I managed a smile so could greet my little daughter. She opened the door for me and threw herself in my arms, screaming joyously and demanding desirably for her Christmas gift. There I stood, frozen, overwhelmed by misery.
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
Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Peggy rushed to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus.
