Her novels, Beloved, Song of Solomon and others explored the way African-Americans search for freedom and identity in a country obsessed (受困扰的) with skin colour. Morrison was nearly 40 when she published her first novel The Bluest Eye in 1970. The Nobel Prize committee described her writing as “language itself, a language she wants to liberate from race”. Her novels discussed America’s past, focusing on black history and the effects of slavery and racism. She called her characters “the unfree at the heart of the democratic experiment”. In 1988, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel Beloved, the story of a mother who kills her baby daughter rather than permit her to return to slavery. It became a best-seller and was later made into a film. Many Americans admired her as the country’s greatest writer, including former President Barack Obama. She was born in 1931. She attended Howard University, an all-black university in Washington, DC. At Howard, she read African, British and American literature, including writers William Faulkner and Virginia Woolf. After a short marriage, she became a single mother of two sons and worked as a book editor in New York. Several publishers rejected her first book The Bluest Eye, but it impressed The New York Times’ book critic John Leonard, who believed Morrison was an important new voice. He said her writing was “so full of pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry”. Morrison enjoyed her literary fame and was proud of her Nobel Prize. 24. What are Toni Morrison’s books mainly about? A. Women’s equality and rights. B. The development of America. C. The literature of America. D. Black history and racism. 25. Which of the following helped Toni Morrison receive the Pulitzer Prize? A Beloved. B. Song of Solomon. C. The Bluest Eye. D. The New York Times. 26. Why is former President Barack Obama mentioned? A. To show Barack Obama’s support in literature. B. To prove Toni Morrison’s greatness as a writer. C. To stress Toni Morrison’s contribution to America. D. To remind readers of the skin colour of Barack Obama. 27. What can we infer from John Leonard’s words? A. He thought highly of Morrison. B. He rejected the book The Bluest Eye. C. The book The Bluest Eye made him painful. D. Toni Morrison’s book was hard to understand. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了一个非裔美国作家Toni Morrison获得了诺贝尔奖，以及美国最高荣誉的故事。本文介绍了她的个人经历，她为她是非裔美国人以及获得诺贝尔奖而感到骄傲。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Her novels discussed America’s past, focusing on black history and the effects of slavery and racism.(她的小说讨论了美国的过去，重点是黑人的历史以及奴隶制和种族主义的影响)”可知，她的小说主要是关于黑人历史和种族歧视的。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 1988, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel Beloved(1988年，她的小说《宠儿》获得了普利策奖)”可知，帮助她获得普利策奖的是小说《宠儿》。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Many Americans admired her as the country’s greatest writer, including former President Barack Obama.(包括前总统巴拉克·奥巴马在内的许多美国人都将她视为美国最伟大的作家)”可推知，文中提到前总统奥巴马是来证明托妮·莫里森作为作家的影响力之大。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Several publishers rejected her first book The Bluest Eye, but it impressed The New York Times’ book critic John Leonard, who believed Morrison was an important new voice. He said her writing was “so full of pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry”.(几家出版商拒绝了她的第一本书《最蓝的眼睛》，但它给《纽约时报》书评人约翰·伦纳德留下了深刻印象，他认为莫里森是一个重要的新声音。他说她的作品“充满了痛苦和惊奇，小说变成了诗歌”)”可知，约翰·伦纳德对莫里森评价很高。故选A。 C Are you a good judge of character? Can you make an accurate judgement of someone’s personality based only on your first impression of them? Interestingly, the answer lies as much in them as it does in you. One of the first people to try to identify good judges of character was US psychologist Henry F Adams in 1927. His research led him to conclude that people fell into two groups — good judges of themselves and good judges of others. Adams’s research has been widely criticized since then, but he wasn’t entirely wrong about there being two clearly different types. More on that in a moment, but first we need to define what a good judge of character is. Is it someone who ean read personality or someone who can read emotion? Those are two different skills. Emotions such as anger or joy or sadness can generate easily identifiable physical signs. Most of us would probably be able to accurately identify these signs, even in a stranger. As such, most of us are probably good judges of emotion. In order to be a good judge of personality, however, there needs to be an interaction with the other person, and that person needs to be a “good target”. “Good targets” are people who reveal relevant and useful signals to their personality. So this means “the good judge” will only manifest when reading “good targets”. This is according to Rogers and Biesanz in their 2019 journal entitled “Reassessing the good judge of personality” “We found consistent, clear and strong evidence that the good judge does exist”, Rogers and Biesanz concluded. But their key finding is that the good judge does not have magical gifts of perception — they are simply able to “detect and use the information provided by the good target”. So, are first impressions really accurate? Well, if you’re a good judge talking to a “good target”, then it seems the answer is “yes”. And now we know that good judges probably do exist, more research can be done into how they read personality, what kind of people they are — and whether their skills can be taught. 28. What can we learn about Adams from Paragraph 2? A. He is a good judge of character. B. He divided psychologists into two groups. C. His research result has been widely accepted. D. His research on good judges was partially right. 29. What does the author think of emotion reading? A. Annoying. B. Joyful. C. Simple. D. Strange. 30. Which of the following would Rogers and Biesanz agree with? A. A good target is necessary for personality judgement. B. A good target needs to get his personality reassessed. C A good judge can provide useful signals to our personality. D. A good judge uses the information given by a good target simply. 31. What will the author most probably talk about next? A. The skills of good judges. B. The features of good judges. C. The ways to read personality. D. The accuracy of first impressions. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍人们可以判断情绪或性格。研究表明，优秀的性格判断者确实存在，他们能够读懂对方发出的信号，并做出正确的判断。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“His research led him to conclude that people fell into two groups — good judges of themselves and good judges of others. Adams’s research has been widely criticized since then, but he wasn’t entirely wrong about there being two clearly different types.(他的研究使他得出结论，人可以分为两类：善于判断自己和善于判断他人。从那以后，亚当斯的研究受到了广泛的批评，但他认为存在两种明显不同的类型并不是完全错误的)”可知，他的研究成果虽然备受批评，但是对优秀判断者的划分并非完全错误，部分是正确的。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Emotions such as anger or joy or sadness can generate easily identifiable physical signs. Most of us would probably be able to accurately identify these signs, even in a stranger.(愤怒、快乐或悲伤等情绪可以产生很容易识别的身体信号。我们大多数人可能都能准确地识别出这些迹象，即使是在陌生人身上)”可推知，作者认为情绪判断非常简单。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In order to be a good judge of personality, however, there needs to be an interaction with the other person, and that person needs to be a ‘good target’. ‘Good targets” are people who reveal relevant and useful signals to their personality. So this means “the good judge’ will only manifest when reading ‘good targets’. This is according to Rogers and Biesanz in their 2019 journal entitled ‘Reassessing the good judge of personality’(然而，要想很好地判断性格，就需要与他人进行互动，而那个人需要成为一个“好的目标”。“好目标”指的是那些能透露出与其个性相关的有用信号的人。所以这意味着“好判断者”只会在解读“好目标”时表现出来。这是根据罗杰斯和比桑兹在2019年题为《重新评估良好的人格判断》的期刊上发表的观点)”可知，罗杰斯和比桑兹认为一个优秀判断者需要有与之相匹配的“好目标”才能表现出来，由此推知，他们都会赞同“一个‘好的目标’是人格判断的必要条件”这一观点。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And now we know that good judges probably do exist, more research can be done into how they read personality, what kind of people they are — and whether their skills can be taught.(现在我们知道，好的判断者可能确实存在，更多的研究可以用来研究他们如何解读性格，他们是什么样的人，以及他们的技能是否可以教授)”可推知，接下来需要了解优秀判断者如何进行判断的，他们的性格特点，他们的技巧是否可以传承等，这些都是判断者的特点，也下接下要谈论的内容。故选B项。 D We are all aware of the damaging pollution that’s created by driving petrol and diesel(柴油) vehicles. Many of the world’s cities are blocked with traffic, creating fumes containing gases such as nitrogen oxides.The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be? There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done? The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue ——a fully charged battery won’t take you as far as a full tank of petrol. There are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an electric vehicle into. Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC, “The big leap forward will come with solid-state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars. “These will charge more quickly and give cars a bigger range. Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power. But some countries offer incentive, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams. These kinds of measures have made Norway the country with the most electric cars per capita(人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1000 inhabitants. But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn’t mean a zero-carbon future. “It’s emission-free motoring, but the car has to be built, the battery has to be built, and the electricity does come from somewhere.” Maybe it’s time to think about making fewer journeys or using public transport. 32. What can we infer from the question at the end of Paragraph 1? A. It is not easy to obtain a greener future by means of electric vehicles. B. Electric vehicles may not solve the traffic problems. C. We should not be too optimistic about the future. D. It’s not a good idea to replace petrol vehicles with electric ones. 33. What does the underlined word “incentive” mean in Paragraph 2? A. permission B. encouragement C. admission D. insistence 34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. Electric motoring will create a zero-carbon future. B. Putting solid-state batteries in electric cars first will be a “great leap forward”. C. There are four obstacles on the road to global traffic being totally electric. D. Electric cars might not get stuck in traffic jams in the future. 35. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Electric Power or Petrol: A Tough Decision to Make B. Electric Vehicles: A Road to a Greener Future C. Total Electric Traffic: A Long Way to Go D Petrol and Diesel Vehicles: A Main Source of Gases 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了电动汽车更加清洁、更加环保，但实现全球交通电动化还有很长的路要走，电动汽车本身有两大问题亟待解决，而且汽车电动化并不意味着零碳。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“But is that easier said than done?(但这说起来容易做起来难吗？)”可知，第一段提出疑问：英国宣布从2030年开始禁止销售新型汽油和柴油汽车，这说起来容易做起来难吗？第二段第一句“The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.(实现全球交通完全电动化的道路还有很长的路要走。)”指出实现全球交通完全电动化还有很长的路要走。由此可推测出，作者在第一段最后提出疑问是想说明用电动汽车来实现环保并不容易。故选A。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词前一句“Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power.(成本是另一个可能阻碍人们转向电力的问题。)”和画线词后的“such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking”可知，画线词后的举例是对incentive的进一步说明，通过降低进口税来降价以及不收取道路税和停车费，这些有助于降低购买和使用成本，有助于激励人们购买，incentive意为“激励措施”，与encouragement(起激励作用的事物)意思最接近。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams.(一些国家还为电动汽车提供专用车道，超越可能陷入拥堵的传统汽车。)”可知，电动汽车有专用通道，这说明电动汽车在未来可能不会陷入交通堵塞。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.(实现全球交通完全电动化的道路还有很长的路要走。)”可知，电动汽车更加清洁、更加环保，但实现全球交通电动化还有很长的路要走，电动汽车本身有两大问题亟待解决，而且汽车电动化并不意味着零碳。由此可推测出，C项“全电动交通：任重道远”最适合作本文标题。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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why does our body require warm covers but not our face when it’s cold? The following are the reasons. Firstly, don’t forget that your head does have some insulation (隔热). ____36____ Secondly, the air temperature near your head won’t be as cold as the room, because the microclimate around your head will be warmed by heat lost from your head and by your exhaled (呼出) breath. ____37____ Then there is physiology. Your sensation of thermal (热的) comfort is primarily driven by skin temperature. This depends on blood flow to the skin. In a cool environment, the hands and feet reduce their blood flow to very low levels. ____38____ So, as the temperature of the rest of the skin falls, that of the head remains higher. This is why you can lose plenty of heat via your head in the cold and should wear a hat. There are also differences in the impact of different body regions on the overall sensation of cold and thermal comfort. The temperature of the hands and feet dominate your overall perception of how cold you are. ____39____ In a cooling environment, the temperature of the lower back and chest determines the loss of thermal comfort, and during mild exposure to cold, local warming of the chest, rather than the face, produces a strong sensation of comfort. ____40____ So, it is a good idea to keep the body warm in bed, then you can leave the head above the covers. Your nose may get cold, but it won’t stop you sleeping, and it is good to breathe fresh air! A. Remember to put a hat on. B. It often has hair and is insulated by it. C. The latter is warmed in the lungs to about 33℃. D. There is nothing worse than going out in the cold with wet hair. E. This is why you can’t fall asleep until your feet warm up in bed. F. In contrast, the blood flow to the head doesn’t decrease as much. G. Also, remember that the face is adapted to exposing to the elements. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. F 39. E 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章通过了分析头部的隔热和气温、生理学常识、不同身体区域对整体冷、热舒适感觉的差异以及脸部对于外部环境的适应性，阐述了为什么我们的身体需要覆盖物，而脸不需要。 【36题详解】 上文“Firstly, don’t forget that your head does have some insulation.”（首先，别忘了你的头是有隔热层的。）提到头有隔热层，空中应该与头和隔热相呼应说明头部的隔热层是什么。根据B选项中“It often has hair and is insulated by it.”（它通常有头发，用它来隔热）出现的hair和insulated与上文一致。故选B。 【37题详解】 根据空前“because the microclimate around your head will be warmed by heat lost from your head and by your exhaled (呼出) breath.（其次，你头部附近的空气温度不会像房间里那么冷，因为你头部周围的小气候会被你头部散发的热量和你肺部呼出的气加热。）”可知从肺部呼吸出的热量与C选项中的latter（后者）相对应，指的就是“在肺中呼出的热量”。同时C选项中的C选项中“lung”和“about 33℃”对应了前一句中的exhale和heat，故选C。 【38题详解】 根据空前“In a cool environment, the hands and feet reduce their blood flow to very low levels.（在凉爽环境中，手和脚的血流量会降低到很低的水平。）”和选项F“In contrast, the blood flow to the head doesn’t decrease as much.（相比之下，流向头部的血液不会减少太多。）”形成对比，同时前文出现的“blood”和F选项中的“blood”，原词复现。故选F。 【39题详解】 根据空前“The temperature of the hands and feet dominate your overall perception of how cold you are.（手和脚的温度主导着你对自己有多冷的整体感知。）”可知解释了“为什么人在床上只有脚暖和起来才能睡着的”原因，前句和E选项构成因果关系，故选E。 【40题详解】 根据空的位置是在段首，所以应该是本段的段旨。根据空后“So, it is a good idea to keep the body warm in bed, then you can leave the head above the covers.（所以，在床上保持身体温暖是一个好主意，然后你可以让头部露出被子。）”可知，头部露在外面是可以适应外在的环境，同时，G选项中的also是关键词，是对上文进行补充，阐述的是我们的身体需要覆盖物，而脸不需要的原因。故G选项“另外，记住脸部是适应暴露在外的。”故选G。 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （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、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last summer, I was suffering from too much stress, I’d just graduated from a challenging doctoral program and was ____41____ from the years of research, study and writing.

Travelling to conferences, lectures, workshops, and the like — frequently by plane — ____57____ (view) as important for scientists to get together and exchange information. But Cobb and others ____58____ (be) now questioning that idea pushing conferences to provide more chances to participate remotely, and ____59____(change) their personal behavior to do their part in dealing with the climate change crisis. On a website called No Fly Climate Sci, for example, _____60_____(rough) 200 academics — many of them climate scientists —____61____ (promise) to fly as little as possible since the effort started two years ago. Cobb, for her part, started to ask conference organizers who invited her to speak ___62___ she could do so remotely; about three-quarters of ___63___ time, they agreed. When the answer, was no, she, declined the ____64____ (invite). That approach brought Cobb's air travel last year down by 75%, and she plans ________65________(continue) the practice. "It has been fairly rewarding.", she says, "a really positive change." 【答案】56. who##that 57. is viewed##has been viewed 58. are 59. changing 60. roughly 61. have promised 62. whether##if 63. the 64. invitation 65. to continue 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个由学者团体发行的实践，目的是为了减少学术飞行以应对气候变化危机。 【56题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：亚特兰大佐治亚科技研究院的教授Kim Cobb是一个少数但是不断增加的少数学者中的一员，因为气候变化，他们正在削减他们的飞机旅行。名词academics后为定语从句且在从句中作主语，应使用关系代词替代，故填that/who。 【57题详解】 考查被动语态。句意：对科学家而言，旅行去参加会议、讲座、工作室之类的地方来相聚并交流信息这件事被视为是重要的。描述人们普遍认知的事情用一般现在时，此处也可以表示强调人们从过去到现在的认知，动名词作主语与主谓之间存在被动关系，故填is viewed或has been viewed。 【58题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：但是现在Cobb和其他人正在质疑那个想法，推动会议提供更多远程参加的机会以及为了尽自己的能力来应对气候变化危机，他们正在改变他们的个人行为。根据句意可知，此处也应使用现在进行时，主语为复数，故填are。 【59题详解】 考查时态。句意：但是现在Cobb和其他人正在质疑那个想法，推动会议提供更多远程参加的机会以及为了尽自己的能力来应对气候变化危机，他们正在改变他们的个人行为。分析句子结构可知，此处and连接并列的动词questioning和change，故填changing。 【60题详解】 考查副词。句意：例如，在一个叫“无飞行科学家”的网站上，自从两年前成立以来，大约有200个学者，他们中很多人承诺尽可能少飞行。此处修饰数字用副词roughly“粗略地大约”，故填roughly。 61题详解】 考查时态。句意：例如，在一个叫“无飞行科学家”的网站上，自从两年前成立以来，大约有200个学者，他们中很多人承诺尽可能少飞行。根据时间状语“since+过去时间”可知主句应使用现在完成时，故填have promised。 【62题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：对于她的出席，Cobb开始询问邀请她的组织者是否可以远程进行。显然ask后面出现了一个宾语从句，宾语从句句意不完整，whether/if“是否”符合语境，故填whether或if。 【63题详解】 考查冠词。句意：大约有四分之三的时间，他们同意了。此处特指Cobb询问的时间范围内，故填the。 【64题详解】 考查名词。句意：当答案是否定的时候，她拒绝了那个邀请。此处需填入名词作动词decline的宾语，故填invitation。 【65题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：他打算继续这个实践。动词plan后面跟动词不定式，plan to do sth“计划做”，故填to continue。 【点睛】 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 66. 假设你是新华中学的李华，将参加主题为“Let’s Ride Bicycles”的英语演讲比赛，请写一份演讲稿，内容主要包括： 1. 目前汽车带来的空气污染和交通堵塞等问题； 2. 骑自行车的益处，如节能环保、有利健康等。 参考词汇：环保的environmentally friendly 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，已使行文连贯； 3. 演讲稿的开头和结尾已给出，但不计入总词数。 Good morning, everyone.

He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped loose-fitting pajama (睡衣) top underneath, and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green sandals (凉鞋) that were two sizes too big. The physics teacher’s hand froze in the middle of writing a formula on the blackboard. Mohi said in a quiet voice, “Sorry, teacher,”and ran with quick short steps to his seat. Mr. Tan glared at the rest of the students. The laughter quickly died down. Mohi’s classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Mohi’s late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing. That day, it was the loose-fitting pajama top and green sandals. Mohi lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would yell his name together just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry bunch in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Mohi was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Hamed, who sat next to Mohi, tried to be his friend. The following Monday, Mohi did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Hamed decided to walk over to Mohi’s house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Mohi must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Hamed let himself in. He called Mohi’s name a few times but there was no response. 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。 The music played on. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before Teacher’s Day concert, Hamed convinced the class to let Mohi perform. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The music played on. Hamed peered in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Mohi was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow over the strings expertly. He played flawlessly so much so that it sounded like a recording. Then an idea hit Hamed. It was the tradition of the school to have a concert for the teachers. Every class had to contribute an item. It was a good chance for Mohi to show his talent and be accepted by his classmates. Thinking of that, Hamed left quietly. Before Teacher’s Day concert, Hamed convinced the class to let Mohi perform. Short of ideas, the class agreed. On the day of the concert, both the teachers and students were surprised to see the school’s clumsiest student walking on stage with a violin. When he started to play, the audience fell silent. Jaws dropped. As the last note ended, there was a moment of silence. Then the audience erupted into thunderous applause. Mohi became a sensation and had many fans in his final year of school. Mohi and Hamed became the best of friends eventually. 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了笨拙且不修边幅的Mohi一直是同学们的笑料，但好友Hamed发现了Mohi的小提琴天赋，在Hamed的举荐下，Mohi在教师节音乐会上进行了表演，Mohi得到了同学们的认可并成了轰动一时的名人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“音乐继续演奏”可知，第一段可描写Hamed循着音乐发现了Mohi的秘密。 ②由第二段首句内容“在教师节音乐会之前，Hamed说服全班同学让Mohi表演”可知，第二段可描写Mohi的表演大获成功，得到同学们的认可。 2.续写线索：发现秘密——推荐表演——技惊四座——轰动一时 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①突然意识到：hit/strike/occur to ②展示他的才华：show his talent/demonstrate his talent ③说服，劝服：convince/persuade 情绪类 ①惊讶地：in surprise/in astonishment ②突然安静下来：fall silent/fall quiet 【点睛】[高分句型1] His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow over the strings expertly.(运用了as引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] Thinking of that, Hamed left quietly.(运用了现在分词短语作伴随状语) [高分句型3] When he started to play, the audience fell silent.

Her novels, Beloved, Song of Solomon and others explored the way African-Americans search for freedom and identity in a country obsessed (受困扰的) with skin colour. Morrison was nearly 40 when she published her first novel The Bluest Eye in 1970. The Nobel Prize committee described her writing as “language itself, a language she wants to liberate from race”. Her novels discussed America’s past, focusing on black history and the effects of slavery and racism. She called her characters “the unfree at the heart of the democratic experiment”. In 1988, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel Beloved, the story of a mother who kills her baby daughter rather than permit her to return to slavery. It became a best-seller and was later made into a film. Many Americans admired her as the country’s greatest writer, including former President Barack Obama. She was born in 1931. She attended Howard University an all-black university in Washington, DC. At Howard, she read African, British and American literature, including writers William Faulkner and Virginia Woolf. After a short marriage, she became a single mother of two sons and worked as a book editor in New York. Several publishers rejected her first book The Bluest Eye, but it impressed The New York Times’ book critic John Leonard, who believed Morrison was an important new voice. He said her writing was “so full of pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry”. Morrison enjoyed her literary fame and was proud of her Nobel Prize. 24.

Can you make an accurate judgement of someone’s personality based only on your first impression of them? Interestingly, the answer lies as much in them as it does in you. One of the first people to try to identify good judges of character was US psychologist Henry F Adams in 1927. His research led him to conclude that people fell into two groups — good judges of themselves and good judges of others. Adams’s research has been widely criticized since then, but he wasn’t entirely wrong about there being two clearly different types. More on that in a moment, but first we need to define what a good judge of character is. Is it someone who ean read personality or someone who can read emotion? Those are two different skills. Emotions such as anger or joy or sadness can generate easily identifiable physical signs. Most of us would probably be able to accurately identify these signs, even in a stranger. As such, most of us are probably good judges of emotion. In order to be a good judge of personality, however, there needs to be an interaction with the other person, and that person needs to be a “good target”. “Good targets” are people who reveal relevant and useful signals to their personality. So this means “the good judge” will only manifest when reading “good targets”. This is according to Rogers and Biesanz in their 2019 journal entitled “Reassessing the good judge of personality” “We found consistent, clear and strong evidence that the good judge does exist”, Rogers and Biesanz concluded. But their key finding is that the good judge does not have magical gifts of perception — they are simply able to “detect and use the information provided by the good target”. So, are first impressions really accurate? Well, if you’re a good judge talking to a “good target”, then it seems the answer is “yes”. And now we know that good judges probably do exist, more research can be done into how they read personality, what kind of people they are — and whether their skills can be taught. 28. What can we learn about Adams from Paragraph 2? A. He is a good judge of character. B. He divided psychologists into two groups. C. His research result has been widely accepted. D. His research on good judges was partially right. 29. What does the author think of emotion reading? A. Annoying. B. Joyful. C. Simple. D. Strange. 30. Which of the following would Rogers and Biesanz agree with? A. A good target is necessary for personality judgement. B. A good target needs to get his personality reassessed. C. A good judge can provide useful signals to our personality. D. A good judge uses the information given by a good target simply. 31. What will the author most probably talk about next? A. The skills of good judges. B. The features of good judges. C. The ways to read personality. D. The accuracy of first impressions. D We are all aware of the damaging pollution that’s created by driving petrol and diesel(柴油) vehicles. Many of the world’s cities are blocked with traffic, creating fumes containing gases such as nitrogen oxides.The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be? There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done? The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue ——a fully charged battery won’t take you as far as a full tank of petrol. There are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an electric vehicle into. Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC, “The big leap forward will come with solid-state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars. “These will charge more quickly and give cars a bigger range. Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power. But some countries offer incentive, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams. These kinds of measures have made Norway the country with the most electric cars per capita(人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1000 inhabitants. But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn’t mean a zero-carbon future. “It’s emission-free motoring, but the car has to be built, the battery has to be built, and the electricity does come from somewhere.” Maybe it’s time to think about making fewer journeys or using public transport. 32. What can we infer from the question at the end of Paragraph 1? A. It is not easy to obtain a greener future by means of electric vehicles. B. Electric vehicles may not solve the traffic problems. C. We should not be too optimistic about the future. D. It’s not a good idea to replace petrol vehicles with electric ones. 33. What does the underlined word “incentive” mean in Paragraph 2? A. permission B. encouragement C. admission D. insistence 34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. Electric motoring will create a zero-carbon future. B. Putting solid-state batteries in electric cars first will be a “great leap forward”. C. There are four obstacles on the road to global traffic being totally electric. D. Electric cars might not get stuck in traffic jams in the future. 35. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Electric Power or Petrol: A Tough Decision to Make B Electric Vehicles: A Road to a Greener Future C. Total Electric Traffic: A Long Way to Go D. Petrol and Diesel Vehicles: A Main Source of Gases 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why does our body require warm covers but not our face when it’s cold? The following are the reasons. Firstly, don’t forget that your head does have some insulation (隔热). ____36____ Secondly the air temperature near your head won’t be as cold as the room, because the microclimate around your head will be warmed by heat lost from your head and by your exhaled (呼出) breath. ____37____ Then there is physiology. Your sensation of thermal (热的) comfort is primarily driven by skin temperature. This depends on blood flow to the skin. In a cool environment, the hands and feet reduce their blood flow to very low levels. ____38____ So, as the temperature of the rest of the skin falls, that of the head remains higher. This is why you can lose plenty of heat via your head in the cold and should wear a hat. There are also differences in the impact of different body regions on the overall sensation of cold and thermal comfort. The temperature of the hands and feet dominate your overall perception of how cold you are. ____39____ In a cooling environment, the temperature of the lower back and chest determines the loss of thermal comfort, and during mild exposure to cold, local warming of the chest, rather than the face, produces a strong sensation of comfort. ____40____ So, it is a good idea to keep the body warm in bed, then you can leave the head above the covers. Your nose may get cold, but it won’t stop you sleeping, and it is good to breathe fresh air! A. Remember to put a hat on. B. It often has hair and is insulated by it. C. The latter is warmed in the lungs to about 33℃. D. There is nothing worse than going out in the cold with wet hair. E. This is why you can’t fall asleep until your feet warm up in bed. F. In contrast, the blood flow to the head doesn’t decrease as much. G. Also, remember that the face is adapted to exposing to the elements. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （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、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last summer, I was suffering from too much stress, I’d just graduated from a challenging doctoral program and was ____41____ from the years of research, study and writing.

What I needed then was ____49____ , not movement. As if on cue, the dragonfly came to rest on a blade of grass in front of me. I watched that dragonfly carefully for many minutes. So did the dragonfly. “It’s not a matter of relaxing,” it seemed to say. “It’s a matter of ____50____ the now, the here. Life is so short. Be here in the moment and let the ____51____ take care of itself.” Suddenly, I ____52____ this beautiful creature, who only had months to live, was “instructing” me about the ____53____ of life and felt much relaxed. The dragonfly seemed ____54____ that its message had been delivered. It sprang from the grass and flew away. I didn’t see it again.

His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped loose-fitting pajama (睡衣) top underneath, and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green sandals (凉鞋) that were two sizes too big. The physics teacher’s hand froze in the middle of writing a formula on the blackboard. Mohi said in a quiet voice, “Sorry, teacher,”and ran with quick short steps to his seat. Mr. Tan glared at the rest of the students. The laughter quickly died down. Mohi’s classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Mohi’s late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing. That day, it was the loose-fitting pajama top and green sandals. Mohi lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would yell his name together just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry bunch in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Mohi was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Hamed, who sat next to Mohi, tried to be his friend. The following Monday, Mohi did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Hamed decided to walk over to Mohi’s house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Mohi must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Hamed let himself in. He called Mohi’s name a few times but there was no response. 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。 The music played on. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before Teacher’s Day concert, Hamed convinced the class to let Mohi perform. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Tom is always careless and class.
