第二部分 閱讀(共兩節(jié),滿分50分)
第一節(jié)(共15小題; 每小題2. 5分,滿分37. 5分)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
A
Ireland’s Achill Island has always been a popular European tourist destination. However,since last April,the small island of just 2,600 residents has gained worldwide fame thanks to the magical reappearance of a beach that was washed away over three decades ago.
The chain of events began in 1984 when residents of Dooagh,one of the five settlements on the island,awoke to a surprising sight: their beautiful sandy beach had been washed away by strong Atlantic storms. There were only rocks and rock pools left. For over 30 years,only small amounts of sand returned to the once unspoiled shores. The area’s tourism industry slowly declined,and the handful of beachside hotels,pubs,and restaurants gradually closed as well.
Then around Easter last year,something magical happened—an unusual ten-day tide blanketed the bare 300-meter long rock beach with hundreds of tons of soft golden sand. Scientists suspect that the sand had been gathering offshore for months and was transported to the beach by the high winds and powerful waves.
The locals are delighted to have their beach back,especially as it is attracting thousands of visitors wishing to witness the power of nature,with their own eyes. However,Sean Molloy,manager of Achill Tourism,cautions against going into the cold waters just yet,saying,“Because of the sand coming in,we don’t know how safe the beach is now because currents ( 洋流 ) could be changed and it’ll take a little bit of time. ” He instead recommends visitors enjoy the soft sand and leave the swimming to the dolphins that frequent the area.
Interestingly,this is not the first time Dooagh Beach has pulled a disappearing and reappearing act. It disappeared in the 1890s,for over 30 years,before returning in 1927. However,the locals are optimistic that this time around,the beautiful sand is here to stay.
【語篇概述】本文是一篇新聞報道。主要介紹了愛爾蘭的阿基爾島消失的海灘在時隔三十多年再次出現(xiàn)的這一事件。
21. What has made Achill Island famous worldwide recently?
A. An unusual storm.
B. The decrease in the number of residents.
C. The return of its beach.
D. The building of a new tourist destination.
【解析】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的However,since last April,the small island of just 2,600 residents has gained worldwide fame thanks to the magical reappearance of a beach that was washed away over three decades ago. 可知,因?yàn)橄嗄甑暮┑脑俅位貧w使得阿基爾島享譽(yù)世界。
22. What happened to Dooagh in the past three decades?
A. Tourism went down gradually.
B. Restaurants developed slowly.
C. Storms attacked frequently.
D. Rock pools disappeared completely.
【解析】選A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中The area’s tourism industry slowly declined,and the handful of beachside hotels,pubs,and restaurants gradually closed as well. “可知,隨著海灘的消失,當(dāng)?shù)氐穆糜螛I(yè)也日漸衰落。
23. What should tourists avoid according to Sean Molloy?
A. Spoiling the shores.
B. Getting into the rock pools.
C. Playing with dolphins.
D. Swimming near the beaches.
【解析】選D。推理判斷題。由第四段最后一句He instead recommends visitors enjoy the soft sand and leave the swimming to the dolphins that frequent the area. 可知,Sean Molloy建議游客享受松軟的沙子,把游泳讓給海豚,也就是說,他建議游客們不要在海灘附近游泳。
B
If you watched TV in the 1980s,you probably remember the Head & Shoulders advertisement warning. “You never get a second chance to make a first impression. ”
Now new research suggests that this isn’t totally true. For a paper called “The Tipping Point of Moral Change: When Do Good and Bad Acts Make Good and Bad Actors?” published in Social Cognition,Nadav Klein and Ed O’Brien,psychological scientists at the University of Chicago,ran several experiments designed to discover how quickly people are willing to change impressions.
In one online study of 201 participants,an office worker known as “Barbara” started off,but occasionally committed(做)a series of positive or negative actions. Sometimes she held doors for people. Other times she would cut in line. Subjects answered how long such behavior had to go on for their view of Barbara to tip in various directions.
The result?Barbara had to do nice things for more weeks to become regarded as a good person than the number of weeks she had to do bad things to become bad. Another online experiment involving 200 female participants also found that people were quick to judge when Barbara was doing wrong and much slower to believe she’d changed for the better.
“People only need to commit just a few bad actions to appear greatly changed for the worse,but need to commit many good actions to appear greatly changed for the better,”the authors write.
If you’ve made a good first impression on a group of people,don’t get too comfortable. Flub something,and they’ll quickly change their impression for the worse. But if you made a bad first impression?Then the Head & Shoulders advertisement is on to something,because Heather Huhman,president of Come Recommended,puts it,“People are always quick to judge,and we like our opinions—we don’t like to change our minds. ”?
“It is difficult to change a bad first impression,but not impossible. Don’t try to force new relationships. Let relationships develop naturally and don’t do things just to make people like you. Be yourself. ”Huhman advises.
【語篇概述】本篇為說明文。海飛絲曾警告說,“你永遠(yuǎn)不會得到第二個機(jī)會給人留下第一印象”,新的研究表明這一說法并不完全正確。研究結(jié)果表明,一個人只需要有一些不好的行為,就會讓人對其印象的認(rèn)識變得更糟,但需要花費(fèi)更長的時間,做很多好事,才會讓人對其有好的印象。
24. What did the Head & Shoulders advertisement show?
A. First impressions are lasting.
B. First impressions are not reliable.
C. First impressions can work wonders.
D. First impressions are the most natural.
【解析】選A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第一段If you watched TV in the 1980s,you probably remember the Head & Shoulders advertisement warning,“You never get a second chance to make a first impression. ”可知海飛絲的廣告表明第一印象是持久的,要改變一個人的第一印象非常難。
25. What are the findings of the studies?
A. People are quick to make judgements.
B. It takes more time to become bad.
C. It’s hard to change bad impressions.
D. People always focus on bad actions.
【解析】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第五段中的“People only need to commit just a few bad actions to appear greatly changed for the worse,but need to commit many good actions to appear greatly changed for the better,” the authors write. 可知,新的研究表明,要改變不好的印象很難。
26. What does the underlined part “Flub something” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. Show something.
B. Do something bad.
C. Try something new.
D. Keep on doing something.
【解析】選B。詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下文and they’ll quickly change their impression for the worse可知,一旦人們做了壞事,搞砸了,人們對他們的印象很快就會變糟。故第6段劃線部分Flub something指“做壞事”。故選B。
27. What’s Huhman’s advice?
A. Be the real you.
B. Make people like you.
C. Create a good impression.
D. Ignore people’s judgements.
【解析】選A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從最后一段中的Let relationships develop naturally and don’t do things just to make people like you. Be yourself可知,Huhman的建議是要做真正的你。
C
The English language is changing,and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar,spelling,pronunciation,or the very vocabulary of the language,you have played your part and continue to do so.
When we first learned basic grammar and spelling,perhaps in elementary school,we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred. The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this approach might be beneficial for teaching children,it is far from accurate.
The English language,like many others,is a living,growing,ever-evolving thing. Like it or not,you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed radically over the years and centuries,with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a thousand years ago might be called English,most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.
The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition to these differences,the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example,consider the word “err. ” The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word “her. ”However,in recent years,more and more people have been pronouncing it so that it sounds like “air. ”
Another change in the language involves the addition and removal of words. The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries,many words have come from other languages. In fact,English has probably done this more than any other language in the world,which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.
Of course many slang words have been just short-lived fads that have died out quickly. Others,though,have been adopted by mainstream society and become respectable,as have many technical terms. So then remember,the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street,or make up your own words,you may be contributing to the future of the English language.
【語篇概述】本文是一篇說明文。文章指出,英語這門語言從語法、拼寫、發(fā)音及詞匯都一直在變化。在這個變化過程中,我們每個人都在起著一定作用,并且這種情況還將繼續(xù)。
28. When we begin to learn English,we think_______. ?
A. it is interesting to take up a new language
B. grammar and spelling rules are unchangeable
C. only grown-ups have the ability to affect a language
D. English rules are wrongly presented in fact
【解析】選B。 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二段中的When we first learned basic grammar and spelling,. . . The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. 可知,我們初學(xué)英語時往往會認(rèn)為語法和拼寫的規(guī)則是不可改變的。
29. The pronunciation of words is changing because_______. ?
A. people speak in different ways
B. the British don’t agree with others
C. people adopted foreign words
D. makers of dictionaries created them
【解析】選A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段中的In addition to these differences,the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. 可知,是人們說話的方式不同導(dǎo)致了單詞發(fā)音的不斷變化。
30. Which of the following statements about English slang words is true?
A. All the slang words have become standard English.
B. English slang words are popular for a short time.
C. Some slang words have been accepted.
D. English slang words have different meanings actually.
【解析】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段中的Of course many slang words have been just short-lived fads that have died out quickly. Others,though,have been adopted by mainstream society and become respectable,as have many technical terms. 可知,許多俚語存在時間非常短,只是曇花一現(xiàn)。然而,其他的詞已經(jīng)被主流社會所接受。故選C。
31. Which of the following is the main idea for the passage?
A. You can change the English language.
B. English is changing over years.
C. The British speak differently from Americans.
D. Foreign words are developing with time.
【解析】選A。主旨大意題。文章開頭提出英語這門語言一直在變,每個人都要為這樣的變化負(fù)責(zé)。接下來從語法、拼寫、發(fā)音及詞匯幾個方面分別說明對語言做出的變化。結(jié)合選項可知,選項A. 你可以改變英語語言是最佳標(biāo)題。
D
Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile (機(jī)動車) is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned (放棄) and allowed to rust. Other authorities,however,think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.
The car will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller,safer,and more economical,and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.
Regardless of its power source,the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic jams. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated (自動化的) highway system. When the auto enters the highway system,a retractable (可伸縮的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail,which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically.
Once attached to the rail,the car will become electrically powered from the system,and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car’s movements.
The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination (目的地) into the system. The computer will calculate the best route,and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated (估計) that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour,compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.
【語篇概述】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹未來汽車產(chǎn)業(yè)的發(fā)展前景。
32. One significant improvement in the future car will probably be_______. ?
A. its power source B. its driving system
C. its monitoring system D. its seating space
【解析】選A。 推理判斷題。從第二段中的The car will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller,safer,and more economical,and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types. 可知,本段主要介紹未來汽車的發(fā)展方向,其中一項最重要的改進(jìn)將是能源依賴方面的改變,不再由汽油機(jī)提供動力。
33. What is the author’s main concern?
A. How to make automobiles pollution-free.
B. How to make smaller and safer automobiles.
C. How to solve the problem of traffic jams.
D. How to develop an automated subway system.
【解析】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第三段中的Regardless of its power source,the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic jams. 可知,作者最為關(guān)心的是如何解決未來汽車給城市帶來的交通擁擠問題。
34. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?
A. A rail. B. An engine.
C. A retractable arm. D. A computer controller.
【解析】選A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第三段中的When the auto enters the highway system,. . . ,which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. 和第四段中的Once attached to the rail,the car will become electrically powered from the system,可知,在自動化高速公路系統(tǒng)中,軌道會為汽車提供電力。
35. In an automated highway system,what all the drivers need to do is _______. ?
A. keep in the right route
B. wait to arrive at their destination
C. inform the system of their destination by phone
D. keep in constant touch with the computer center
【解析】選C。推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route,and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer that will warn him of his coming exit. 可知,在自動化高速公路系統(tǒng)中,駕駛員所需要做的就是將目的地信息通過電話輸入到系統(tǒng)。
第二節(jié)(共5小題; 每小題2. 5分,滿分12. 5分)
閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項,選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Over the decades we have seen the business of amusement evolve from small fun fairs and carnivals into amusement parks. 36 In the late 90’s a more profitable concept developed from the theme park concept—the creation of small but highly themed,completely immersive attractions that could be called “Experience Parks”. ?
A famous example would be the Star Trek The Experience in Las Vegas that operated from 1998 to 2008. The attraction took guests into the living,breathing world of Star Trek via a transporter onto the Enterprise itself. Another example would be SeaWorld’s Discovery Cove,which opened in Orlando in 2000. 37 For this they get a tropical resort style experience full of cool clear waters,white sandy beaches and unique animal interactive experiences. ?
After a lull I think the Experience Park concept is back and is very much on the rise. One amazing new project is Evermore Park,currently under construction in Utah. 38 Six Flags is also pushing into new territory in China with the creation of an entirely new concept,the Six Flags Adventure Park. This will offer an experience that offers guests more physical experiences,including whitewater rafting,climbing,zip lines and even motocross races. ?
39 The computer technology like virtual reality is offering more of a digital challenge with the virtual experiences of Ghostbusters and Star Wars. Other digital experiences are also quickly rolling out like Outbreak Origins at Zero Latency locations. ?
This is just the tip of the iceberg. 40 In the end,their success will depend on which experiences guests are willing to spend their money on. However,it seems clear that the entertainment landscape is changing once again. ?
A. Here guests pay a considerable admission price.
B. It promises a role-playing experience like no other.
C. In the 50’s it developed again into the modern theme park.
D. People are now seeing how the amusement industry is changing its business model.
E. We are also seeing a rise in more highly themed haunt and escape room concepts too.
F. The Experience Park concept isn’t just for those looking for a more physical challenge.
G. A profit-driven theme park can never last long without offering people desirable experiences.
【語篇概述】本篇為說明文,介紹了體驗(yàn)式主題公園的興起。與原來的運(yùn)營模式不同,它們更加注重游客的體驗(yàn)和互動性,科技在其中的整合及所發(fā)揮的作用也越發(fā)明顯。這已經(jīng)成為主題公園發(fā)展的趨勢。
36. 【解析】選C。考查上下文的過渡。本段開始說“在過去的幾十年里,我們已經(jīng)看到娛樂產(chǎn)業(yè)從小型游樂園和嘉年華發(fā)展到游樂園”。以時間為線索描述不同時期游樂園的演化。C項“In the 50’s it developed again into the modern theme park. 與下文的In the late 90’s a more profitable concept developed from the theme park concept”呈現(xiàn)了不同時期娛樂園的演化形式。
37. 【解析】選A。本段通過舉例的方法介紹了不同的體驗(yàn)式娛樂主題公園是如何吸引游客的。在奧蘭多的SeaWorld’s Discovery Cove,游客們要付出相當(dāng)高的入場費(fèi),為此他們獲得了熱帶度假勝地風(fēng)格的那種體驗(yàn)。空格后的this指的是上文的“游客們要付出相當(dāng)高的入場費(fèi)”。
38. 【解析】選B。本空所在段落主要介紹了體驗(yàn)式主題公園的回歸和再度興起以及它們要帶給游客的不同的體驗(yàn)。與下文的Six Flags相對照,在猶他州在建的Evermore Park,承諾會為游客提供的是無以倫比的角色扮演體驗(yàn),選項中的關(guān)鍵詞It指的即是Evermore Park。
39. 【解析】選F。本題為上下文的過渡句。上文提到了This will offer an experience that offers guests more physical experiences,including whitewater rafting,climbing,zip lines and even motocross races,而在空后提到了諸如虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)這樣的計算機(jī)技術(shù)給游客們所提供的更大程度上有虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)的數(shù)字挑戰(zhàn)。本空選項句則實(shí)現(xiàn)了這兩個前后語段的銜接。

【語篇概述】本文是一篇說明文。介紹了我們?nèi)粘I钪腥绾芜x擇飲水瓶來避免雙酚A對人體健康造成損害,同時指出即使標(biāo)有不含雙酚A的塑料也可能會含有和雙酚A同樣有害的其他化學(xué)物質(zhì)。而最安全的飲水方式是使用玻璃制品。同時也介紹了使用可重復(fù)使用的塑料瓶要注意的事項。
56. 【解析】what??疾橘e語從句。句意: 我們都知道干凈的水對健康很重要。但我們現(xiàn)在也知道需要關(guān)注把水存放在什么地方。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,watch后接了賓語從句,從句中缺少賓語,要用關(guān)系代詞what引導(dǎo)。故填what。
57. 【解析】called??疾榉侵^語動詞。句意: 塑料瓶是用被叫作BPA的危險物質(zhì)硬化的,這種對身體有害的物質(zhì)會釋放到水中。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,Plastic bottles在句子中為主語,謂語動詞為can release,且material與call之間為被動關(guān)系,故called構(gòu)成的過去分詞作material的后置定語。故填called。
58. 【解析】have banned??疾閯釉~時態(tài)。句意: 自從2011年起,很多國家就禁止在食物容器和嬰兒奶瓶中使用BPA了。根據(jù)句首的時間狀語Since 2011提示可知, 此句謂語動詞應(yīng)使用現(xiàn)在完成時。故填have banned。
59. 【解析】harmful??疾樾稳菰~。句意: 標(biāo)明不含雙酚A的塑料瓶也會含有其他有害健康的化學(xué)物質(zhì)。由語境可知此處要使用harm形容詞形式harmful來修飾后面的health effects。故填harmful。
60. 【解析】Studies??疾橹髦^一致。句意: 研究表明,很少量的那些化學(xué)物質(zhì)也會產(chǎn)生和雙酚A相同的影響。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)和助動詞have可知,句子的謂語動詞為復(fù)數(shù)形式,根據(jù)主謂一致的原則,句子的主語也為復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填Studies。
61. 【解析】best??疾樾稳菰~最高級。句意: 用來喝水最好的材質(zhì)是玻璃,它不含使水有毒的物質(zhì)。同時注意空前的定冠詞the,也明確要用形容詞最高級。故填best。
62. 【解析】which??疾榉窍拗菩远ㄕZ從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此句為非限制性定語從句,glass為先行詞,且在從句中作主語,要用關(guān)系詞which引導(dǎo)定語從句。故填which。
63. 【解析】for/as??疾榻樵~。句意: 另一個好的選擇是用不銹鋼來作為喝水的容器。此處所填詞義應(yīng)為“用來”或“作為”。故填for/as。
64. 【解析】to protect。考查非謂語動詞。分析句子可知,are covered是從句的謂語動詞,因此空白部分要用非謂語動詞,to protect在句中表示目的。故填to protect。
65. 【解析】keeping??疾閯釉~搭配。句意: 如果決定要使用可重復(fù)使用的塑料瓶,則要避免將它放在陽光下。動詞avoid 要接動名詞作賓語,故要使用keep的動名詞形式keeping。

Dear school friends,
COVID-19 has infected thousands of people worldwide. Like other coronaviruses,this virus may come from animals too. It is believed that the virus might have been transmitted through direct contact between humans and animals either by touching those animals or consuming them. It can also spread via the air like other cold-causing viruses. Unfortunately,the actual source of this disease isn’t confirmed yet. As we all know,a person infected this disease may suffer from dry cough,mild fever and breathing issues,which may go unnoticed.
We need to take measures to stay safe from this illness. It is always advisable to avoid close contact with individuals suffering from this acute illness. Also,it would be best if you wash your hands with warm and soapy water regularly. If you find any of the mentioned symptoms,do visit your doctors immediately.
Best wishes,

閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段,使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。
One time,the teachers at a school wanted to teach the students about airplanes. While all airplanes can fly,some are able to fly farther than others. This is because not all airplanes are built the same. For example,a fighter plane looks very different from a plane that people fly in when they want to go on a holiday. The teachers wondered how they could make students understand this.
Then,the science teacher,Mr Moose,decided that the school should have a paper airplane contest. Every student would design a paper airplane. They would stand in a line in the playground behind the school. The students would take turns throwing their airplanes. The student whose airplane went the farthest would win.
When Mr Moose announced the paper airplane contest to the students,they were very excited. A student named Paul,who was on the school sports team,said to everyone else that his airplane would win. “I am the strongest,” Paul said. “So I will be able to throw my airplane the farthest. ”
However,while Paul was saying this,another student,Brian,was thinking how he could win. Brian did not play any sports and was not very strong. But he loved airplanes and really wanted to win the contest.
Brian realized what he had to do. He went to the store and bought a big stack (疊) of paper. When he got home,he took the paper into his backyard. He took a piece of paper and folded an airplane. It didn’t go very far,so Brian took another piece and folded (折疊) another airplane and threw it. This airplane went a little farther. Brian kept folding different kinds of airplanes and throwing them. Some went very far and some did not. Finally,when Brian had used all the paper,he walked up to the airplane that had flown the farthest and picked it up.
The next day was the contest. All the students lined up. Everyone took turns. After a while,everyone had thrown except Paul and Brian. Paul went first. With a loud yell,he threw the airplane into the sky. It went farther than every other airplane. Everyone cheered.

Paragraph 1:
Finally,it was Brian’s turn. Brian took the airplane that he had picked up the day before. He walked up to the line and,with all his strength,he threw the airplane. It went flying,farther and farther,until finally it landed — 10 feet past Paul’s airplane! The whole school cheered. Brian won the contest. Mr Moose gave him a prize: a toy airplane.
Paragraph 2:
Brian won because he tried out many solutions to the problem of how to make an airplane fly very far. He did this by testing out many different designs and comparing the results. When he found the design that worked best — the paper airplane that flew the farthest — he used it. Because Brian tried a lot of designs,he was able to make up for his lack of strength and beat Paul.
