Text 2 M：This T-shirt is really my style. How much is it? W：Nine dollars each. But you can save four dollars if you buy two. Text 3 M：You look like a million dollars in your new dress. W：It's very nice of you to say so. It is my birthday present from my mother. You also look handsome in your suit. Text 4 W：Good morning, sir. Can I help you? M：Yes, please. I missed my flight to Korea. But it wasn't my fault. My bus broke down on the way. W：OK, sir. Don't worry. Text 5 M：I heard that you went to the movie with Johnson last night. Was it as good as you expected? W：I'd rather I had done my housework at home. Text 6 W：I am so excited for this weekend. These last few days of work are going to feel so long. M：I forgot. You're still going to the beach, right? W：Yes, and I'm going on a helicopter tour over the nearby island. M：That is so exciting. W：I know.I did it once before and it was so beautiful and thrilling.The only thing that I didn't like was wearing the helmet.It made my hair so wild. I think this time I will just remember not to style my hair before I go. M：Good idea.However, I'm sure that the helmet is important protection. Text 7 M：Look at that dog in this video! It looks like it's dancing! W：Poor thing. That's because people put shoes on it. Dogs aren't supposed to wear shoes. M：I think it's great. It keeps the dogs' feet clean when they go out for a walk. You wouldn't go outside without shoes on, would you? W：I'm not a dog. It looks silly. M：I don't think so. It looks very cute, actually. W：The owners put the poor dog on the Internet, as if it weren't bad enough that they walk it through the park like that. M：I would take my dog to the store with shoes on this afternoon. W：Well, that doesn't make it right. It's an animal, not a toy.People shouldn't dress their animals up like humans and put them online. Text 8 M：Betty, I'm having such a hard time studying for this class. My notes have been a mess since I missed classes of that week. W：Why did you miss so many classes? M：I got a bad cold last month and couldn't go to school for a week. I never got a chance to get the notes that I missed from anyone in my biology class. Anyway, do you mind if I copy your notes from the days I missed? W：I don't mind at all. M：That would be such a big help! I'm trying to read the textbook，but the lessons don't make sense to me. Biology is my most difficult subject, so I have to spend extra time on it. W：Why don't you come to the study group that a couple of us set up for this week? It might help you prepare for the next week. M：Really? That would be great. Text 9 M：Ever since I had the job in the company three years ago, I have noticed that I'm 40 pounds heavier. That's terrible. W：We're high-tech workers, and our jobs require us to be chained to computer screens for long work days. M：It's said that the average office worker sits for about 10 hours, dealing with e-mails in front of the computer, making calls or writing reports and eating lunch. And then sitting in front of the TV or using the computer at home. W：It's so bad, but to me the worst part is that I don't know how to reduce the pressure from my work. I just can't fall asleep all night. M：It's time to change. What about finding time to work out in the gym? W：Well, I prefer outdoor exercise, such as running in a park, and climbing in a mountain area. M：All right. Let's go climbing this weekend. W：I can't agree more. Text 10 Climate change has pushed scientists and inventors to think of new ways that our public transport systems will work, and to figure out how to make that change without causing too much inconvenience to people's daily life. Governments around the world are looking to reduce traffic in their major cities by putting a large amount of money into the public transport. This will involve persuading people to stop using cars that pollute the environment. In March 2020, Luxembourg became the first country to make its entire public transport system free. Germany is likely to follow in their footsteps. Other cities, such as Chicago in the United States, and Tallinn in Estonia, run free services, too. But a lot of public transport systems are also polluting. Scientists are looking at electric vehicles such as buses and taxis. London started running electric buses in July 2019, and now it has over 200 electric buses. In January 2020, Glasgow，which is the largest city in Scotland, also started using them. It has also introduced 70 charging points for electric vehicles. There are 2，500 electric cars in Glasgow at present, but the council believes that the number will increase by a factor of 10 by 2025. 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Five people are talking about working from home. Chris：I'm a language graduate and I've been translating from Italian to English for most of my career.We've been in Milan for nearly 20 years and I've been working from home for 12 years, since my first child was born.I've found that my work-life balance has been easier to manage since I started working from home—and it needs to be easy to manage when you've got children! Miranda: I'm a writer and I've been working from home for the last 18 months.I must say it's been pretty difficult.For one thing I've been paying a lot more for heating.And I've missed the office gossip.To be honest, it's quite lonely.I almost wish I could go back to my old job. Jordan：Working from home has really changed my life.I love it.I love being my own boss.I've been working from home as a website designer since I left my last job in 2004.I have a bit more time these days.I've bought myself a new guitar and I've been taking guitar lessons for the last six months. Ahmed：It's not for everyone, but I like working from home.I do contract (合同) work in design.The best thing is that I don't have to commute (通勤) to work on crowded trains.I've had lots more time and I've been learning a new language since I started working from home in January.I've always wanted to learn Spanish. Rageh：I'm German but I've been living abroad for five years.I've been working in marketing for a pharmaceutical (制药的) company near London and I've been working from home part of the time since January.I work from home three days a week and commute to the office twice a week.I was very lucky to get this opportunity.When I work from home I get up late and work late in the evenings.I've never been a morning person. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇应用文。五名不同职业的人员讲述了他们对在家工作的看法。 21．What is Chris? A．A designer.　　　　　　 B．A translator. C．A novel writer. D．An Internet seller. 答案：B 21 22 23 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“...a language graduate...translating from Italian to English for most of my career.”可知，克里斯是一名翻译。 21 22 23 22．What is Miranda's opinion about working from home? A．It's boring and costly. B．It's free and comfortable. C．It leads to poor quality of work. D．It helps to keep work-play balance. 答案：A 21 22 23 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“...I've been paying a lot more for heating.And I've missed the office gossip.To be honest, it's quite lonely.I almost wish I could go back to my old job.”可知，米兰达觉得在家工作需要交很多暖气费，而且她觉得孤单，她怀念办公室里同事们闲谈的日子。 21 22 23 23．What do we know about Rageh? A．He is a night owl. B．He is a music lover. C．He works in Germany. D．He has strict working timetables. 答案：A 21 22 23 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“When I work from home I get up late and work late in the evenings.I've never been a morning person.”可知，拉厄赫是一个“夜猫子”，喜欢熬夜，他从来不是一个早起的人。 21 22 23 B The home of the future won't be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats just as we do today.But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams.No two homes will be the same.People will be able to buy “house kits” containing a basic house structure, with movable walls, doors and windows.They will put together the different parts to create the home they want. Many jobs that we do today will disappear, others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created.Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians won't disappear because machines can't replace them.Teachers will still exist because students need human contact.But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more at home.The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today. Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won't be for everyone because they won't be cheap.Short space trips will develop first; then space hotels will orbit the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation.By the end of the next century, there will have been holiday centres on the moon with leisure facilities (休闲设施) for families. Paper won't exist in the future.Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again.This will develop in order to save natural resources.E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our reusable paper. The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear some time in the future.This isn't going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes.We will have to explore the universe and find another home.At some point in the distant future, either we stay on the earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another planet.There won't be any other choice.

C．All will be different from one another. D．They will be movable as you want. 答案：C 24 25 26 27 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“No two homes will be the same.”可知，未来的家将各不相同。 24 25 26 27 25．What does the second paragraph imply? A．Skilled workers will face great challenges. B．The future will witness job changes. C．Technology will totally replace workforce. D．An unimaginable life will come into being. 答案：B 24 25 26 27 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Many jobs that we do today will disappear，others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created.”可知，在未来的生活中，我们现在做的很多工作将会消失，有些工作将继续存在但会发生改变，同时还会产生新的工作，即未来将见证工作的变化。 24 25 26 27 26．What can we learn about space trips and staying in space hotels according to the text?

A．Because it will be a symbol of fashion. B．Because it won't waste natural resources. C．Because it will be cheaper to produce. D．Because it will be convenient to carry. 答案：B 24 25 26 27 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This will develop in order to save natural resources.”可知，这样可以节约自然资源。 24 25 26 27 C Starship Technologies was founded in Estonia but is now based in San Francisco.The company employs dozens of six-wheeled delivery robots on college campuses.Now, Starship is adding four new schools to its operational field: University of Illinois Chicago, University of Kentucky, University of Nevada, Reno and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. At present, the company operates on 20 college campuses in 15 states with a global fleet that totals 1，000 robots.This expansion will add 85 more robots to that fleet.Starship states that it has done over 5 million deliveries worldwide since its founding in 2014.The company has raised $ 102 million so far, including $ 17 million in fresh funding announced earlier this year. Each robot in Starship is electric, has a box that can fit about 20 pounds of goods, and has a number of cameras to recognize obstacles and help guide it to its destination.The robots have a delivery range of three to four miles and can travel at a maximum speed of 4 mph, which is obviously slower than a delivery by a human on a bike or in a car.And they can climb the edge of the road but not stairs, which may limit their appeal to customers who live in high-rise buildings. Delivery via robots is still relatively neoteric in the US.There are a handful of start-ups operating delivery robots of varying sizes—everything from fully-sized minivans like Udelv to robots that are almost similar to Starship's like Yandex.Recently, Postmates has also invented a delivery robot called Serve that can carry 50 pounds of goods.There are even some newly-produced robots like Nuro, which can be described as a mini-robotic car.All claim to be automated, but some still require humans to follow their movements. Demand for delivery robots has risen since 2020, though it remains to be seen whether that will hold up as the economy reopens and fewer people rely on takeout food from restaurants. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Starship科技公司，该公司在大学校园里雇用了数十个六轮送货机器人并介绍了Starship在机器人投送方面的成就等情况。 28．What can we learn about Starship Technologies? A．It is now based in Estonia. B．It hires college students as delivery men. C．It is branching out into scientific education. D．It is spreading its service on college campuses. 答案：D 28 29 30 31 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now, Starship is adding four new schools to its operational field: University of Illinois Chicago, University of Kentucky, University of Nevada, Reno and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.”可知，Starship Technologies正在大学校园里推广它的服务。 28 29 30 31 29．What do the figures in paragraph 2 show? A．Modern people tend to rely heavily on robots. B．Robots are popular among college students. C．Starship has contributed a lot of money to charity. D．Starship has made some achievements in robot delivery. 答案：D 28 29 30 31 推理判断题。根据第二段中“At present, the company operates on 20 college campuses in 15 states with a global fleet that totals 1，000 robots.This expansion will add 85 more robots to that fleet.Starship states that it has done over 5 million deliveries worldwide since its founding in 2014.”可知，第二段中的数字说明了Starship在机器人投送方面取得了一定的成就。 28 29 30 31 30．Why do people in high-rise buildings show little interest in delivery robots? A．They work much slower than humans. B．They are unable to recognize floors. C．They have difficulty going up stairs. D．They are likely to get lost in the buildings. 答案：C 28 29 30 31 细节理解题。根据第三段中“And they can climb the edge of the road but not stairs, which may limit their appeal to customers who live in high-rise buildings.”可知，住在高层建筑里的人对送货机器人没什么兴趣是因为它们上楼梯有困难。 28 29 30 31 31．What does the underlined word “neoteric” probably mean in paragraph 4? A．Novel. B．Practical. C．Traditional. D．Necessary. 答案：A 28 29 30 31 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“There are a handful of start-ups operating delivery robots of varying sizes—everything from fully-sized minivans like Udelv to robots that are almost similar to Starship's like Yandex.”可知，运营送货机器人的只有几家公司，说明通过机器人送货仍相对较新潮。故画线词意思是“新颖的”。 28 29 30 31 D According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's digital economy has increased by 15.9 percent annually since 2012, reaching 45.5 trillion yuan last year.Facing the growing digital economy and new vacancies developed in the sector such as deliverymen and livestreaming anchors (主播), young people, especially those born after 2000, are expressing a stronger willingness for flexible work relations with companies, and also wish to become “digital workers” with flexible work locations and schedules. “The Internet helps me a lot.I check emails from my clients and submit my proposals through chat software, then we discuss plans via teleconference.I love working from home actually，” said Mi Lu, a 28-year-old new media operator in Beijing.“We work everywhere, perhaps in a cafe, or on a bullet train or even on the table of a restaurant.” To cater to young people's work preferences, more companies have begun to include “flexible working mode” in their recruitment advertisements.Zhaopin, a website, said vacancies with flexible work available make up 15 to 20 percent of total vacancies on its platform, especially for industries in the growing gig economy such as transportation and logistics (物流).According to Zhaopin, the proportion of flexible vacancies in these industries has increased to 25 percent this year, up from 10 percent in 2018. However, the flexibility may bring risks to workers' rights protection, according to Zhaopin.It said that though roughly 60 percent of companies posting vacancies on its platform offer insurance, the proportion is decreasing. Li Qiang, vice-president of Zhaopin, said that the greatest risk to those seeking flexible work is whether the company pays the salary fully and on time.“It's necessary for job seekers to set up a long-term development plan, rather than be shortsighted.” He added that companies may bear risks that flexible employees can't deliver high-quality work in a limited time period, which requires the companies to establish a sound work delivery standard to help evaluate employee performance. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了随着数字经济的蓬勃发展，越来越多的年轻求职者更喜欢弹性工作。 32．What factor contributes to flexible work? A．The booming digital economy. B．The desire for more free time. C．The disappearance of some positions. D．The improvement of working conditions. 答案：A 32 33 34 35 细节理解题。根据第一段“According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's digital economy has increased by 15.9 percent annually since 2012, reaching 45.5 trillion yuan last year.Facing the growing digital economy and new vacancies developed in the sector such as deliverymen and livestreaming anchors, young people, especially those born after 2000, are expressing a stronger willingness for flexible work relations with companies, and also wish to become ‘digital workers’ with flexible work locations and schedules.”可知，蓬勃发展的数字经济有助于弹性工作。 32 33 34 35 33．How do companies react to young people's work preferences? A．They ignore the youth's requests. B．They follow the old working mode. C．They provide positions accordingly. D．They reduce working opportunities. 答案：C 32 33 34 35 细节理解题。根据第三段“To cater to young people's work preferences, more companies have begun to include ‘flexible working mode’ in their recruitment advertisements.Zhaopin, a website, said vacancies with flexible work available make up 15 to 20 percent of total vacancies on its platform, especially for industries in the growing gig economy such as transportation and logistics.According to Zhaopin, the proportion of flexible vacancies in these industries has increased to 25 percent this year, up from 10 percent in 2018.”可知，公司相应地提供职位来应对年轻人的工作偏好。 32 33 34 35 34．What suggestions did Li Qiang give? A．The companies pay higher salary. B．The job seekers make a detailed plan. C．The companies make reasonable rules. D．The job seekers apply for positions on time. 答案：C 32 33 34 35 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“He added that companies may bear risks that flexible employees can't deliver high-quality work in a limited time period, which requires the companies to establish a sound work delivery standard to help evaluate employee performance.”可知，李强给出的建议是公司应该制定合理的规则。 32 33 34 35 35．What is the best title for the text? A．A New Internet-related Working Model B．Job Seekers More Keen on Flexible Work C．The Rapidly Developing Digital Economy D．Companies Well Prepared for New Risks 答案：B 32 33 34 35 标题归纳题。根据文章大意及第一段中“Facing the growing digital economy and new vacancies developed in the sector such as deliverymen and livestreaming anchors, young people, especially those born after 2000, are expressing a stronger willingness for flexible work relations with companies, and also wish to become ‘digital workers’ with flexible work locations and schedules.”和第三段中“To cater to young people's work preferences, more companies have begun to include ‘flexible working mode’ in their recruitment advertisements.”可知，文章主要讲的是随着数字经济的蓬勃发展，越来越多的年轻求职者更喜欢弹性工作。故文章最好的标题是“求职者更喜欢弹性工作”。 32 33 34 35 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了优秀科学家具备的几个特点。 Characteristics of an Excellent Scientist The dictionary defines a scientist as a person having professional knowledge on one or more sciences, especially natural science or physical science. 36 Let's look at some characteristics of an excellent scientist. 36 37 38 39 40 A．To make discoveries, you have to think differently.

Yours， Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 As a young boy，I was always a troublemaker and up to no good.I liked playing tricks and enjoyed treating animals in an unfriendly way，like running after cats crazily，making them scared at the sight of me.Besides，I often used a handmade catapult (弹弓) to shoot at birds in the trees. All this did afford me indescribable pleasure but also got me unkind stares and blames from people around.My parents disapproved of my behavior and were constantly criticizing me for the tricks I played.I was even given a good beating from my father from time to time.Nevertheless，I ignored their warnings and did not correct my ways until an incident occurred. One summer noon when I was eight，I was alone at home and just finished lunch.Feeling very hot and bored，I decided to hang around the neighborhood，holding my trusty catapult. Soon，I came to Mr. Smith's house.His pet dog，big and strong，was tied to a post outside his house，lying in the shade lazily.Looking around，I found that no one was in sight.I decided to make good use of my catapult to play tricks on the massive dog.Picking up a few small stones from the ground，I aimed at the dog and fired them one by one.Several stones hit the poor dog and it began to bark (吠) loudly in pain and jump up and down.But I felt so fun that I didn't stop doing so.Eventually，the dog's anger was fueled and it barked wildly at me while struggling to break away from the rope.Not realizing anything wrong with my crazy behavior，I was just laughing happily. Suddenly，the rope that tied the dog loosened and the big dog got free from its bonds.In no time，with a few powerful steps the dog was on me.Its sharp teeth sank into my leg.I screamed with pain and fright and fell to the ground，shouting out for help. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Luckily，my miserable shouts caught Mr.Smith's attention.______ __________________________________________________________ His words left me ashamed and I decided to make a change.______ __________________________________________________________ [参考范文] Luckily，my miserable shouts caught Mr. Smith's attention.He dashed out of the house and freed the dog's teeth from my leg.Having caged the dog，Mr. Smith rushed me to the clinic，where the doctor gave me an injection and dressed the wound carefully.On the way back home，I tearfully told Mr. Smith the whole story.Not criticizing me，he looked me in the eye and said lovingly，“Animals are our friends that need our care and love and will treat us well if treated well.” His words left me ashamed and I decided to make a change.Instead of playing tricks on helpless animals，I did what I could to take care of them.With my father's help，I became a volunteer in our local animal shelter，feeding or walking animals.I even set aside my pocket money to contribute to charity which helps save homeless animals.Once a troublemaker，later a caregiver，I gradually won people's praise and respect I hadn't experienced before.Most importantly，never did I feel so rewarded and honored for what I did for animals. $$
