Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
(2020·紹興診斷性考試)In American countryside, the message we hear is this: Go and get an education. Leave your small town and make something of yourself. Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.
After graduating from a high school in Helena, Arkansas, I did go.
I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school ahead of time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. I understood the difference in social atmosphere. But I wanted to stretch myself and get out of my comfort zone. And you know what? I absolutely loved my time there. But one thing took me by surprise—the lack of countryside representation. Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco...And when I had conversations with these students—in or outside of class—we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities. In my education classes, it was always “urban this” and “urban that”.
It was like small town America didn’t exist.
And this urban interest doesn’t just happen in college. I went to an education conference a couple of years ago, and a professor—someone who had been at the forefront of educational reform—was there to deliver a keynote. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, “What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside?” And this man was speechless.
I’ll never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten.
This trend of exporting talent and resources to our big cities—this mindset of leaving small towns and never coming back—I don’t want to add to that movement. I want to reverse that movement.
Now it’s my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? I’m a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.
【解題導語】 本文作者通過自己的大學生活經歷以及在一次教育會議上與一位教授進行交流的故事說明了美國的鄉(xiāng)村正在逐漸被人遺忘的現象,作者也由此決定要幫助鄉(xiāng)村中的年輕人。
1.What do people in American countryside think of the future of the youth at home?
A.Secure. B.Fragile.
C.Promising. D.Bright.
B 解析:推理判斷題。根據第一段中的“Leave your small town and make something of yourself. Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.”可知,在美國的鄉(xiāng)村,年輕人的就業(yè)前景并不穩(wěn)定,成功和機會都在別處。故選B項。
2.What did the author find in his college classroom?
A.Students chatted freely.
B.Countryside was ignored.
C.He was looked down upon.
D.Students concentrated on education.
B 解析:推理判斷題。根據文章第三段中的“And when I had conversations with these students...it was always ‘urban this’ and ‘urban that’.”和第四段“It was like small town America didn’t exist.”可知,作者在他的大學課堂中發(fā)現大家總是探討與城市相關的問題,就好像鄉(xiāng)村在美國不存在一樣。也就是說,鄉(xiāng)村被人們忽視了。故選B項。
3.What is the author doing now?
A.Teaching in a college.
B.Fighting for the movement.
C.Working with the professor.
D.Devoting himself to his hometown.
D 解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段中的“After graduating from a high school in Helena”可知,作者的家鄉(xiāng)在海倫娜,再根據最后一段“Now it’s my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? I’m a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.”可知,作者現在在家鄉(xiāng)教書,幫助家鄉(xiāng)中的年輕人,為家鄉(xiāng)做貢獻。故選D項。
B
Can you trust your very first childhood memories? Maybe not, a new study suggests.
Past studies show that people’s earliest memories typically form around 3 to 3.5 years of age. But in a recent survey of more than 6,600 people, British scientists have found that 39 percent of participants claimed to have memories from age 2 or younger. “These first memories are likely false,” the researchers said. This was particularly the case for middle-aged and older adults.
For the study, researchers asked participants to describe their first memory and the age at which it occurred. Participants were told they had to be sure the memory was the one that had happened. For example, it shouldn’t be based on a photograph, a family story or any source other than direct experiences. Then the researchers examined the content, language and descriptive details of these earliest memories and worked out the likely reasons why people would claim to have memories from an age when memories cannot form.
As many of these memories dated before the age of 2, this suggests they were not based on actual facts, but facts or knowledge about their babyhood or childhood from photographs or family stories. “Often these false memories are fired by a part of an early experience, such as family relationships or feeling sad,” the researchers explained.
“We suggest that what a rememberer has in mind when recalling fictional early memories is...a mental representation consisting of remembered pieces of early experiences and some facts or knowledge about their own babyhood or childhood,” study author Shania Kantar said in a journal news release. “Additionally, further details may be unconsciously inferred or added. Such memory-like mental representations come, over time, to be collectively experienced when they come to mind, so for the individual, they quite simply are ‘memories’ which particularly point to babyhood.”
“Importantly, the person remembering them doesn’t know this is fictional,” study co-author Martin Conway said. “In fact, when people are told that their memories are false, they often don’t believe it.”
【解題導語】 本文是一篇說明文。研究發(fā)現,人最早的記憶一般始于三歲到三歲半。在調查了六千多名調查對象之后,研究人員聲稱那些兩歲時或更早的記憶是有誤的。
4.What can we learn from the recent study?
A.Memories form after the age of 3.
B.Participants are good at telling stories.
C.Adults are likely to form false memories.
D.Earliest memories may play a trick on us.
D 解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段倒數第二句“‘These first memories are likely false,’ the researchers said.”可知,研究人員認為,這些人所認為的最初的記憶可能是錯誤的,并結合第四段、第五段分析的錯誤的最早記憶形成的原因可知D項正確。
5.What are these fictional early memories according to Kantar?
A.They are repeated mental representations.
B.They are a collection of early experiences.
C.They are a combination of both facts and fictions.
D.They are further details of remembered experiences.
C 解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據第四段第一句可知,盡管這些回憶中許多發(fā)生在兩歲之前,但是研究表明這些記憶不是基于事實,而是基于嬰兒或兒童時期的照片或家庭故事;結合第五段中Kantar所說的話可知,Kantar認為人們所認為的最早的記憶結合了事實和虛構的成分,故C項正確。
6.Which part of a newspaper is this text probably taken from?
A.Society. B.Psychology.
C.Technology. D.Health.
B 解析:文章出處題。根據第五段中的“We suggest that what a rememberer has in mind when recalling fictional early memories is...a mental representation consisting of remembered pieces of early experiences and some facts or knowledge about their own babyhood or childhood”可知,虛構的最早的記憶是一種心理現象;結合全文內容可知,本文主要介紹了一項關于最早記憶的研究,此項研究與心理學有關;據此可知,本文很可能摘自報紙的心理學版塊,故B項正確。
【難句分析】 Then the researchers examined the content, language and descriptive details of these earliest memories and worked out the likely reasons why people would claim to have memories from an age when memories cannot form.
分析:句中why people would claim to have memories from an age when memories cannot form為why引導的定語從句,修飾先行詞reasons,引導詞在從句中作原因狀語;其中when memories cannot form為when引導的時間狀語從句。
譯文:然后,研究人員檢查了這些最早記憶的內容、語言和描述細節(jié),并找出了人們聲稱擁有這些來自記憶無法形成的年齡的記憶的可能的原因。

【解題導語】 本文是一篇說明文,主要介紹了茶馬古道的相關情況。
1.popularity 解析:考查詞性轉換??涨笆切稳菰~,且形容詞前是形容詞性物主代詞its,后面應接popular的名詞形式。popularity“受歡迎”。
2.parts 解析:考查名詞復數??涨盀関arious,故part“區(qū)域,地區(qū)”用復數,故填parts。
3.valuable 解析:考查詞性轉換。根據空前的the “Ancient Tea Horse Road” is no less和空后的than可知,空處應填形容詞。根據語境可知,此處表示茶馬古道的重要性并不低于絲綢之路,故填valuable“很重要的”。
4.is referred 解析:考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。此處描述的是現在的客觀情況,應該用一般現在時,主語與refer to之間是被動關系,故要用被動語態(tài)。注意:refer的過去式和過去分詞應雙寫r再加-ed。
5.bought 解析:考查非謂語動詞。動詞buy與前面的名詞products構成邏輯上的動賓關系,故應用過去分詞形式作后置定語,表示被動。注意:and后的sold也是暗示。
6.when 解析:考查非限制性定語從句。when為關系副詞,在此引導非限制性定語從句,修飾前面表示時間的先行詞the Tang Dynasty,并在從句中作時間狀語。
7.further 解析:考查副詞的比較級。根據語境可知,此處說的是茶馬古道的進一步發(fā)展情況,而far的比較級有兩種形式:farther和further。在指距離的遠近時,兩者都可用,但是當用來表示“進一步”的意義時,只能用further。
8.a 解析:考查冠詞。根據語境可知,此處說的是直到清代為止,茶馬古道都是一條全年繁忙的貿易路線。此處表泛指,又因busy的發(fā)音以輔音音素開頭,故填不定冠詞a。
9.as 解析:考查介詞。serve as sth.表示“可用作,可當……使”,故填介詞as。as表示“作為”。
10.making 解析:考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結構可知,此處的非謂語動詞短語作結果狀語,表示自然而然的結果,故用現在分詞making。
