I never really understood these words until I reached the age where my parents stopped giving me my monthly allowance and asked me to look for a job. New Year is a season of good news for merrymakers and entrepreneurial characters. My childhood friend was one of the latter. Mike and I were two sides of the same coin. I was an introvert and a bookworm, while Mike was outgoing and a merrymaker. His added advantage over me was that he came from a family of entrepreneurs. Therefore, while I saw the festive season as another time to enjoy, he saw it as a perfect time to make money. Ironically, I needed this side of him, given my present predicament (困境). Mike was not of the “work hard pays” school of thought but the “work smart” school. When I told him about my predicament, he saw a business partner. He told me about his business idea — making and selling festive decorations. Having noticed my disbelieving look, he told me he had researched and realized that only one shop sold festive decorations with exorbitant (过高) price, which meant that there was room for competition. However, I reminded him starting a business, let alone competing with an established enterprise, required capital. He told me, “Not really. All we had to do was make some decorations ourselves.” Upon that, we made some special designs and hit the ground running. News about our selling decorations spread like wildfire. Mike’s decision to publish brochures advertising our products was a genius marketing trick. Within three days, we had sold about 50 sets of decorations, and as they say, the rest is history. My parents’ decision to stop my monthly allowance served to teach me the value of work. However, it was my entrepreneurial adventure with Mike that taught me that working smart is better than working hard. 4. What was the author’s present predicament? A. Weak reading skills. B. Lack of financial support. C. Poor communication ability. D. Awful relationship with parents. 5. What do the underlined words “hit the ground running” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Losing market immediately. B. Collected money eagerly. C. Imagined the future merrily. D. Started the business quickly. 6. What is Mike’s marketing strategy? A. Publicizing their products widely. B. Doing research in advance. C. Designing delicate decorations. D. Making decorations on their own. 7. What can we learn from the author’s story? A. Smart work outweighs hard work. B. Wisdom comes from hard work. C. Working hard will finally pay off. D. Working smart starts with working hard. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲的是在父母不再给“我”每月的零用钱并要求“我”去找工作后，“我”陷入了经济困境，于是和儿时的朋友迈克一起创业，在迈克天才的营销策略下，两人创业成功。从这次经历中，“我”学到了聪明地工作比努力工作更重要的道理。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“I never really understood these words until I reached the age where my parents stopped giving me my monthly allowance and asked me to look for a job.(直到我到了父母不再给我每月的零用钱并要求我去找工作的年龄，我才真正理解了这些话)”可知，作者目前的困境是缺乏资金支持。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段前两句“News about our selling decorations spread like wildfire. Mike’s decision to publish brochures advertising our products was a genius marketing trick.(我们出售装饰品的消息不胫而走。迈克决定出版宣传册为我们的产品做广告，这是一个天才的营销策略)”可知，此处是指他们开始行动，所以hit the ground running意为“立即投入工作，迅速展开活动”，和D选项“Started the business quickly.(很快就开始了业务)”意思相近。故选D。 6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“Mike’s decision to publish brochures advertising our products was a genius marketing trick.(迈克决定出版宣传册为我们的产品做广告，这是一个天才的营销策略)”可知，迈克的营销策略是广泛宣传他们的产品。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“However, it was my entrepreneurial adventure with Mike that taught me that working smart is better than working hard.(然而，是我和迈克的创业经历教会了我，聪明地工作比努力工作更重要)”可知，我们可以从作者的故事中了解到聪明地工作比努力工作更重要。故选A。 C Coaches have always taken into account the condition of players when scheduling training sessions. Now with the help of artificial intelligence, they can calculate more precisely the probability that individual athletes will get injured during the next match, the next week or the next month. “We follow a team for an entire season, recording GPS data during training and matches,” Rossi explains. He then uses machine learning to try to detect patterns. “This gives us the probability that a player will get injured in the next days or next weeks.” These data reveal an athlete’s workload—how often they train and how intensely. Just enough training can pave the way to medals, but too much puts pressure on the body and can lead to injuries. Sport is gradually entering a new era, in which artificial intelligence might act as an assistant coach. Algorithms (算法) could enable a teenager to train smarter and avoid a career-ending injury or help a professional athlete to compete for a new years longer. But the technology’s success depends, in part, on the ability of data scientists to convince coaches to include data in their decision process. The teams that McHugh has worked with have seen a reduction in injuries of between 5% and 40%. Yet not every coach is happy to join forces with AI. “Coaches sometimes don’t feel good, because it seems like trying to substitute the human element,” Rossi says. But in reality, data is only a tool. “The interpretation of the results, the change of the training load, is done by coaches,” he says. McHugh agrees that people have to make the final call. “Once the injury probability for an athlete on a given day is output from an injury model. The athlete or coach must then decide whether the predicted risk is acceptable or not, usually depending on the context,” he says. There might be a big game that day, and the player might be especially important to the team. “Even though the predicted injury probability may be as high as 70%, the coach may be willing to take that chance he says. 8. What can be learned about GPS data? A. GPS data decide athletes’ workload. B. GPS data are collected during the final match. C. GPS data use machine learning to detect patterns. D. GPS data provide useful information for training athletes. 9 What makes the technology’s success possible according to the text? A Athletes’ training time. B. Coaches’ acceptance. C. Scientists’ judgment. D. Data accuracy. 10. What does the last paragraph intend to tell us? A. AI in sports has a bright future. B. The coach tends to ignore the risk. C. It is up to people to make the final decision. D. It is always wise to follow the advice of AI. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Replacing coaches with AI B. Predicting Injuries with an algorithm C. Training athletes intensely D. Embracing technology readily 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了用人工智能计算，预测运动员在比赛中的伤病情况。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“We follow a team for an entire season, recording GPS data during training and matches (我们跟踪一支球队整个赛季，记录训练和比赛期间的GPS数据。)”和“This gives us the probability that a player will get injured in the next days or next weeks. (这给了我们一个球员在未来几天或几周受伤的概率。)”以及第三段中“These data reveal an athlete’s workload—how often they train and how intensely. (这些数据揭示了运动员的工作负荷——他们训练的频率和强度。)”可知，GPS数据为训练运动员提供有用的信息。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“But the technology’s success depends, in part, on the ability of data scientists to convince coaches to include data in their decision process. (但这项技术的成功在一定程度上取决于数据科学家说服教练将数据纳入决策过程的能力。)”可知，是教练的接受度使得这项技术的成功成为可能。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段首句“McHugh agrees that people have to make the final call. (McHugh也认为，必须由人做最后的决定。)”可知，本段想告诉我们必须由人来做最后的决定。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文。尤其根据第一段中“Now with the help of artificial intelligence, they can calculate more precisely the probability that individual athletes will get injured during the next match, the next week or the next month. (现在，在人工智能的帮助下，他们可以更精确地计算出个别运动员在下一场比赛、下周或下个月受伤的概率。)”可知，本文主要介绍了用人工智能计算，预测运动员在比赛中的伤病情况。B项“用算法预测伤病”符合主题。故选B项。 D Amazing and perfectly beautiful, The Midnight Library is everything you’d expect from the genius storyteller, Matt Haig. I picked it up from our readers’ recommendations (we asked our readers to send in some of their favorite recent books) and I can see why it won Best Fiction of 2020 in the Good Reads Choice Awards. The story follows Nora Seed, a woman who is struggling and feels like nothing in her life has gone according to plan. While the initial chapters of the book are quite sad, Nora finds herself given a chance to start over in the Midnight Library, a magical place full of books of all the different paths her life could have taken. Nora is forced to stay in the library and try out different versions of her life until she finds the life she most wants to live. I loved the idea that no dream or fork in your road is insignificant, and that they all lead us to become different versions of ourselves. In one life, Nora is an Olympic swimmer. In another, she is a glaciologist living on a boat off the coast of Antarctica. The novel reveals in a beautiful way that the potential we all have within us is impossible to measure, and that we have the possibility to be happy in many different versions of life. It also discusses how dangerous it can be to live your life with regrets. The Midnight Library revealed to Nora that even if you make very different choices, you may uncover a deeper appreciation for your current home and the people in your life. It is your perspective that matters. I really loved the fantasy and magical realism in this novel, and I would love for this to be turned into a series where we get to explore The Midnight Library of other characters’ lives as well. 12. What can we know about the author of the text? A. He should be an editor. B. He is the friend of Matt Haig. C. Magical realism books are his favorite. D. He shares a similar experience with Nora. 13. What does The Midnight Library mainly discuss? A. A magic library. B. The harm of regret. C. The exploration of life. D. Ways to make correct choices. 14. Where can the text be found? A. In a novel. B. In a magazine. C. In a history book. D. In a biography. 15. What is the purpose of the text? A. To thank readers who introduced the book. B. To honour Matt Haig, the author of the book. C. To share the author’s opinions on the book. D. To publicize the book to people who are struggling. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《午夜图书馆》这本书，讲述了故事内容以及这本书带给作者的感悟。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I really loved the fantasy and magical realism in this novel, and I would love for this to be turned into a series where we get to explore The Midnight Library of other characters’ lives as well. (我真的很喜欢这部小说中的幻想和魔幻现实主义，我希望它能被改编成一个系列，让我们也能探索《午夜图书馆》中其他角色的生活)”可推知，这篇文章的作者可能是一名编辑。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The novel reveals in a beautiful way that the potential we all have within us is impossible to measure, and that we have the possibility to be happy in many different versions of life.(这部小说以一种美丽的方式揭示了我们所有人内在的潜力是无法衡量的，我们有可能在不同的生活版本中获得幸福)”可知，《午夜图书馆》主要讨论生命的探索。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Amazing and perfectly beautiful, The Midnight Library is everything you’d expect from the genius storyteller, Matt Haig. I picked it up from our readers’ recommendations (we asked our readers to send in some of their favorite recent books) and I can see why it won Best Fiction of 2020 in the Good Reads Choice Awards. (《午夜图书馆》令人惊叹，完美无瑕，是你期待从天才说书人马特·黑格那里看到的一切。我从读者推荐的书中挑选了这本书（我们让读者寄来一些他们最近最喜欢的书），我可以理解为什么这本书能获得2020年最佳阅读选择奖的最佳小说奖)”结合文章主要介绍了《午夜图书馆》这本书，讲述了故事内容以及这本书带给作者的感悟。可推知，文章可能选自杂志。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I loved the idea that no dream or fork in your road is insignificant, and that they all lead us to become different versions of ourselves.(我喜欢这个想法，没有梦想，没有岔路口是微不足道的，它们都能让我们成为不同版本的自己)”以及倒数第二段“It also discusses how dangerous it can be to live your life with regrets. The Midnight Library revealed to Nora that even if you make very different choices, you may uncover a deeper appreciation for your current home and the people in your life. It is your perspective that matters. (它还讨论了生活中充满遗憾是多么危险。《午夜图书馆》通过诺拉揭示了，即使你做出了非常不同的选择，你也可能会对你现在的家和生活中的人有更深的感激之情。重要的是你的观点)”可推知，这篇文章的目的是分享作者对这本书的看法。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 An important part of raising your children is teaching them good manners as it helps them be more successful in life. ____16____Here are some “old-fashioned” but important manners for your modern kids. Saying “thank you” to service workers Saying “thank you” is the base of all good manners but these days many children overlook thanking the people that help them in many little ways each day, like wait staff, store clerks, and bus drivers. It’s not just about politeness but about teaching children to recognize and acknowledge others’ contributions as valuable. ____17____ Taking turns talking Teach your children to touch your arm and then wait patiently for you to acknowledge(理会)them before speaking. If they do interrupt, calmly tell them it’s rude to interrupt and let them know you’ll acknowledge them shortly. ____18____Offer your children the same politeness and don’t interrupt them when it’s their turn to talk. Using their indoor voices ____19____ A parent should teach their children early on how to moderate(使适中)their volume and tone based on the situation. You can make it into a fun game for little ones, like seeing who can whisper the quietest at a cinema. Covering a cough or sneeze These days it’s more important than ever to teach children to cough or sneeze into a tissue or their elbow. It’s not just a matter of hygiene(卫生)——no one enjoys getting sprayed. ____20____ Don’t forget to teach them to say “excuse me” after. A. Remember it goes both ways. B. Therefore it makes others feel cared about. C. Games are very important for children’s good manners. D. Crying, laughing, or just talking, children can be very loud. E. Lacking basic manners will affect kids in all areas of their lives. F. It is also a way to help others feel safe and comfortable around you. G. Eventually it’s about teaching them not to treat others as their servants. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. A 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了要教给孩子一些文明举止。 【16题详解】 根据上句“An important part of raising your children is teaching them good manners as it helps them be more successful in life.(教养孩子的一个重要部分是教他们良好的举止，因为这有助于他们在生活中更成功。)”说的是需要培养孩子的言行举止，下文“Here are some “old-fashioned” but important manners for your modem kids.(这里有一些传统但对你的现代孩子来说很重要的礼仪。)”说的是培养的建议，从逻辑上说空处肯定还在谈言行的重要性或者不培养后果。选项E“Lacking basic manners will affect kids in all areas of their lives.(缺乏基本礼仪会影响孩子生活的方方面面。)”符合上下文内容。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“It’s not just about politeness but about teaching children to recognize and acknowledge others’ contributions as valuable.(这不仅仅是关于礼貌，而且是关于教孩子认识和承认别人的贡献是有价值的。)”可知，要教育孩子感激别人的付出，认可别人的劳动成果，不要把劳动者的劳动视作理所当然。选项G“Eventually it’s about teaching them not to treat others as their servants. (最终，它教会他们不要把别人当作自己的仆人。)”与上文内容一致，教育孩子感激别人的劳动，不要把别人当作自己的仆人。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“If they do interrupt, calmly tell them it’s rude to interrupt and let them know you’ll acknowledge them shortly. (如果他们打断了你，冷静地告诉他们打断是不礼貌的，并让他们知道你很快就会回复他们。)”可知，这是教育孩子要尊重大人的发言；而下文“Offer your children the same politeness and don’t interrupt them when it’s their turn to talk.(给你的孩子同样的礼貌，当他们说话的时候不要打断他们。)”则讲述的是大人也要同样尊重孩子的发言。引出，空处指的是尊重是双向的。选项A“Remember it goes both ways. (记住，这是双向的。)”承上启下。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据下文“A parent should teach their children early on how to moderate(使适中)their volume and tone based on the situation. You can make it into a fun game for little ones, like seeing who can whisper the quietest at a cinema.(父母应该尽早教孩子如何根据情况调节音量和音调。你可以把它变成一个有趣的游戏给小孩子玩，就像在电影院看谁说话最小声一样。)”可知，父母应该教会孩子在适当的场合控制音量。选项D“Crying, laughing, or just talking, children can be very loud.(哭泣，大笑，或者只是说话，孩子们可以很大声。)”引出下文父母之所以要这样做的原因。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据上文“These days it’s more important than ever to teach children to cough or sneeze into a tissue or their elbow. It’s not just a matter of hygiene(卫生)——no one enjoys getting sprayed.(如今，教孩子对着纸巾或手肘咳嗽或打喷嚏比以往任何时候都重要。这不仅仅是卫生问题——没有人喜欢被溅射。)”可知，作者建议父母教育孩子养成良好的卫生习惯。选项F“It is also a way to help others feel safe and comfortable around you.(这也是一种让和你在一起的人感到安全和舒适的方式。)”延续上文内容，讲述了这样的习惯会让周围的人感到安全舒适。故选F。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last Christmas, I volunteered for WNWNB, a charity which takes surplus (剩余的) produce from New Covent Garden Market and ____21____ it to the local community.

John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world. John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate. Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully. One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art. That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up. 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。 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. Hastily, he bought paper and pens for painting, and then dashed to the completion. After signing up for it, he was given the task. It was his time. He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. Every day, he looked forward to the result happily and anxiously, though he felt hungry. It seemed that the time stopped. A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. Hearing what the man said, his mother felt puzzled, not knowing how his son had done it, because she knew it needed money. As soon as John arrived home, his mother told him the news, and waited for his explanation. Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears. Hugging her son tightly, she apologized to him. But he was happy, not only because he had got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire, but also he was awarded a lot of money because of his work. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。 John喜欢画画，但是家里很穷。虽然母亲不支持他画画，但是他还是想尽办法坚持。有一天，他得知镇上正在举行绘画比赛，他很高兴，但是却没有钱买绘画用品。恰好这天妈妈给了他下个月的午餐费。这些钱足够买材料了。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“第二天一早，约翰带着钱偷偷地离开了家。”可知，第一段可以描写约翰离开家后的活动和他的心理活动。 ②由第二段句首内容“一周后，一个电话打到了约翰的家。”可知，第二段可以描写约翰妈妈接到电话后的表情和心理活动，妈妈知道真相时的表情、动作和语言，最后升华文章的主旨：坚持会有回报。 2续写线索：离家—买东西—参赛—回家—得知消息—解释—回报 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①猛冲：dash/ dart/ leap ②全神贯注于：be absorbed in/ concentrate on ③期盼：look forward to/long for 情绪类 ①高兴的：happily/joyfully/delightedly ②焦急地：anxiously/ nervously/ worriedly 【点睛】【高分句型1】He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. ( 运用了现在分词forgetting作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. ( 运用了with复合结构) 【高分句型3】Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears.

Sports B Growing up, I always heard people say work hard pays. I never really understood these words until I reached the age where my parents stopped giving me my monthly allowance and asked me to look for a job. New Year is a season of good news for merrymakers and entrepreneurial characters. My childhood friend was one of the latter. Mike and I were two sides of the same coin. I was an introvert and a bookworm, while Mike was outgoing and a merrymaker. His added advantage over me was that he came from a family of entrepreneurs. Therefore, while I saw the festive season as another time to enjoy, he saw it as a perfect time to make money. Ironically, I needed this side of him, given my present predicament (困境). Mike was not of the “work hard pays” school of thought but the “work smart” school. When I told him about my predicament, he saw a business partner. He told me about his business idea — making and selling festive decorations. Having noticed my disbelieving look, he told me he had researched and realized that only one shop sold festive decorations with exorbitant (过高的) price, which meant that there was room for competition. However, I reminded him starting a business, let alone competing with an established enterprise, required capital. He told me, “Not really. All we had to do was make some decorations ourselves.” Upon that, we made some special designs and hit the ground running. News about our selling decorations spread like wildfire. Mike’s decision to publish brochures advertising our products was a genius marketing trick. Within three days, we had sold about 50 sets of decorations, and as they say, the rest is history. My parents’ decision to stop my monthly allowance served to teach me the value of work. However, it was my entrepreneurial adventure with Mike that taught me that working smart is better than working hard. 4. What was the author’s present predicament? A. Weak reading skills. B. Lack of financial support. C. Poor communication ability. D. Awful relationship with parents. 5. What do the underlined words “hit the ground running” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Losing market immediately. B. Collected money eagerly. C. Imagined the future merrily. D. Started the business quickly. 6. What is Mike’s marketing strategy? A. Publicizing their products widely. B. Doing research in advance. C. Designing delicate decorations. D. Making decorations on their own. 7. What can we learn from the author’s story? A. Smart work outweighs hard work. B. Wisdom comes from hard work. C. Working hard will finally pay off. D. Working smart starts with working hard. C Coaches have always taken into account the condition of players when scheduling training sessions. Now with the help of artificial intelligence, they can calculate more precisely the probability that individual athletes will get injured during the next match, the next week or the next month. “We follow a team for an entire season, recording GPS data during training and matches,” Rossi explains. He then uses machine learning to try to detect patterns. “This gives us the probability that a player will get injured in the next days or next weeks.” These data reveal an athlete’s workload—how often they train and how intensely. Just enough training can pave the way to medals, but too much puts pressure on the body and can lead to injuries. Sport is gradually entering a new era, in which artificial intelligence might act as an assistant coach. Algorithms (算法) could enable a teenager to train smarter and avoid a career-ending injury or help a professional athlete to compete for a new years longer. But the technology’s success depends, in part, on the ability of data scientists to convince coaches to include data in their decision process. The teams that McHugh has worked with have seen a reduction in injuries of between 5% and 40%. Yet not every coach is happy to join forces with AI. “Coaches sometimes don’t feel good, because it seems like trying to substitute the human element,” Rossi says. But in reality, data is only a tool. “The interpretation of the results, the change of the training load, is done by coaches,” he says. McHugh agrees that people have to make the final call. “Once the injury probability for an athlete on a given day is output from an injury model. The athlete or coach must then decide whether the predicted risk is acceptable or not, usually depending on the context,” he says. There might be a big game that day, and the player might be especially important to the team. “Even though the predicted injury probability may be as high as 70%, the coach may be willing to take that chance he says. 8. What can be learned about GPS data? A. GPS data decide athletes’ workload. B. GPS data are collected during the final match. C. GPS data use machine learning to detect patterns. D. GPS data provide useful information for training athletes. 9. What makes the technology’s success possible according to the text? A. Athletes’ training time. B. Coaches’ acceptance. C. Scientists’ judgment. D. Data accuracy. 10. What does the last paragraph intend to tell us? A. AI in sports has a bright future. B. The coach tends to ignore the risk. C. It is up to people to make the final decision. D. It is always wise to follow the advice of AI. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Replacing coaches with AI B. Predicting Injuries with an algorithm C. Training athletes intensely D. Embracing technology readily D Amazing and perfectly beautiful, The Midnight Library is everything you’d expect from the genius storyteller, Matt Haig. I picked it up from our readers’ recommendations (we asked our readers to send in some of their favorite recent books) and I can see why it won Best Fiction of 2020 in the Good Reads Choice Awards. The story follows Nora Seed, a woman who is struggling and feels like nothing in her life has gone according to plan. While the initial chapters of the book are quite sad, Nora finds herself given a chance to start over in the Midnight Library, a magical place full of books of all the different paths her life could have taken. Nora is forced to stay in the library and try out different versions of her life until she finds the life she most wants to live. I loved the idea that no dream or fork in your road is insignificant, and that they all lead us to become different versions of ourselves. In one life, Nora is an Olympic swimmer. In another, she is a glaciologist living on a boat off the coast of Antarctica. The novel reveals in a beautiful way that the potential we all have within us is impossible to measure, and that we have the possibility to be happy in many different versions of life. It also discusses how dangerous it can be to live your life with regrets. The Midnight Library revealed to Nora that even if you make very different choices, you may uncover a deeper appreciation for your current home and the people in your life. It is your perspective that matters. I really loved the fantasy and magical realism in this novel, and I would love for this to be turned into a series where we get to explore The Midnight Library of other characters’ lives as well. 12.

John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world. John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate. Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully. One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art. That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up. 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。 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
