Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Petrol and diesel(柴油) cars may still dominate our roads, but their days are numbered. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87%of daily car journeys in the US. That figure rose to 98%in 2020. One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been“range anxiety”— drivers' concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA. Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their large price tags(标签) drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity，recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars is starting to persuade critics. Plug­in cars will soon give internal combustion(燃料) engine models a run for their money. As well as advancements on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol­powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flights a reality. Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. Were the US to act on the study's findings and replace 87%of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61%. However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim to be completely emission­free. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。汽油和柴油汽车可能仍然主宰着我们，但很快会被电动车辆替代。电动汽车不产生任何排放物，随着在陆路方面的进步，电动汽车正朝着海洋和天空方向发展。 1．What does the underlined word“hurdle”mean in paragraph 2? A．Aim.　　　　　 B．Barrier. C．Consequence.

A．To introduce the history of electric travel. B．To explain why the world needs more electric cars. C．To show why more people have interest in electric cars.

A．My Dream Car B．History of Electric Cars C．Problems with Petrol Cars D．Driving into the Future 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，汽油和柴油汽车可能仍然主宰着我们的道路，电动车辆的发展势不可挡。所以这篇文章最好的标题是“驶向未来”。 答案　D B Good news, coffee lovers：Your daily cup of Joe might be doing good to your heart，namely by helping to reduce the risk of heart failure, suggest the findings of a new study.In an analysis of data from three large studies on the topic, researchers found that those who reported drinking one or more cups of caffeinated(含咖啡因的) coffee a day had “a related decreased long­term heart failure risk”． For the report published in Circulation：Heart Failure, researchers used machine learning to examine data from a large study from the Framingham Heart Study，referencing this data against two other studies.“Each study included at least 10 years of follow­up, and altogether the studies provided information on more than 21，000 U. S. adult participants，”researchers said. When analyzing the Framingham Heart Study, researchers noted that when compared to non­coffee drinkers, coffee drinkers' risk of heart failure decreased by 5% to 12% for each cup they drank each day. As for decaffeinated coffee, researchers noted that it did not have the same benefits as caffeinated coffee, with one study suggesting that decaffeinated coffee may have an opposite effect. Dr. David Kao, senior study author, said in a statement，“The relation between caffeine and heart failure risk reduction was surprising. Coffee and caffeine are often considered by the general population to be‘bad’for the heart because people relate them to health problems like palpitations, high blood pressure, etc. The relationship between increasing caffeine consumption and decreasing heart failure risk turns that thought on its head.” “However, there is not yet enough clear evidence to prove that increasing coffee consumption can decrease the risk of heart disease with the same strength and certainty as stopping smoking, losing weight, or exercising，”Kao noted. The researchers also warned that the findings only focused on black coffee, that is, plain coffee, without added sugar and high­fat dairy products such as cream. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。新的研究表明，每天喝一杯或几杯含咖啡因的咖啡会降低心脏衰竭的风险。 5．What's the finding of the new study? A．The number of heart failure cases has decreased gradually. B．Coffee can help lower the possibility of heart failure. C．Caffeine does harm to people's health. D．Coffee helps cure heart disease. 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In an analysis of data... caffeinated coffee a day had ‘a related decreased long­term heart failure risk’．”可知，新的研究结果表明喝含咖啡因的咖啡可能会降低心脏衰竭的风险。 答案　B 6．How did researchers achieve their finding? A．By searching online for detailed information. B．By interviewing experts about their opinions. C．By conducting surveys among young adults. D．By comparing data from long­term studies. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For the report... researchers used machine learning to examine data from a large study... against two other studies.”可知，研究人员通过对比长期研究的数据，得出研究结果。 答案　D 7．What can directly affect the result of the study? A．The brand of coffee. B．The age of the subjects. C．The addition of caffeine to coffee. D．The amount of coffee consumption. 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As for decaffeinated coffee... it did not have the same benefits as caffeinated coffee...”可推断，喝含咖啡因的咖啡才可能会降低心脏衰竭的风险，故咖啡中咖啡因的添加对实验结果有直接影响。 答案　C 8．What is Dr. Kao's attitude towards the result? A．Indifferent. B．Positive. C．Curious. D．Careful. 解析　观点态度题。根据前文及第五段中的“However, there is not yet enough clear evidence to prove...”可推断，他认为没有足够的证据表明增加含咖啡因的咖啡的消耗量能降低心脏衰竭的风险，因此他对研究的结果持谨慎的态度。 答案　D Ⅱ.七选五 Cinemas may completely disappear in the West. Every year, fewer people are going to the cinema. 1 It's the same story in the US, Canada and Australia. 2 High prices are one reason. A ticket can cost around ￡16 in London. But it's not only the tickets：prices of snacks in cinemas are often double those in a normal shop. Many people can't afford to go to the cinema. 3 With the rise of TV and film streaming services at home, there are a lot more choices than at the cinema. The UK's top streaming service offers over 5，000 films and TV shows to its customers, all for the cheap price of ￡8 a month. It used to be that only cinemas could offer a high quality film experience on a big screen, but that's changed. 4 Many even have “surround sound”in their living rooms, where sounds are played all around home. And at home fans can sit in a comfortable seat and eat their own cheap snacks. In addition, fans can really concentrate on a film by watching it at home. At the cinema, some people talk loudly about the cast and give away the plot. Even worse, little kids race up and down, crying and laughing. 5 In a word, social trends have changed moviegoing habits, as have new forms of competition from other media. A．Most people now have a large HDTV. B．At home, these problems don't exist. C．Nowadays, only 165 million tickets are sold in the UK. D．Instead of a night out, fans are choosing to watch films at home. E．People can't enjoy surround sound when watching films at home. F．It's certain that there will be no cinemas in the West in the future. G．There are many reasons why people have stopped going to the cinema. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文，主题语境为人与社会。文章主要介绍了电影院可能会衰落并分析了其背后的原因。 1．C　根据下文“It's the same story in the US, Canada and Australia.(在美国、加拿大和澳大利亚都是这样。)”可知，本空应该讲述电影院在英国的状况。选项C(现在，英国只卖出了1.65亿张票。)符合语境。 2．G　根据下文“High prices are one reason. A ticket can cost around ￡16 in London. But it's not only the tickets：prices of snacks in cinemas are often double those in a normal shop. Many people can't afford to go to the cinema.”可知，本段主要介绍人们不愿意去电影院的原因。G项(人们不再去电影院有很多原因。)引起下文，符合语境。 3．D　根据上文“Many people can't afford to go to the cinema.”以及下文“With the rise of TV and film streaming services at home, there are a lot more choices than at the cinema.(随着电视和电影流媒体服务的兴起，相比于去电影院，人们有更多的选择。)”可知，空处应该是承上启下，开始介绍人们不去电影院，转而在家里看电影。D选项(粉丝们选择在家里看电影，而不是晚上外出。)符合语境。 4．A　根据上文“but that's changed”和下一句“Many even have‘surround sound’ in their living rooms(许多人甚至在他们的起居室里有环绕立体声)”可知，空处承接上文，表达的是现在人们在家观看电影的变化，即有新的高级设备。A项(现在大多数人都有一个大的高清晰数字电视。)符合语境。 5．B　根据上文“At the cinema, some people talk loudly about the cast and give away the plot. Even worse, little kids race up and down, crying and laughing.(在电影院，有些人大声谈论演员，泄露剧情。更糟糕的是，小孩子跑上跑下，又哭又笑。)”可知，本段讲了人们在家看电影时能集中注意力的原因。B选项(在家里，这些问题就不存在。)是对上文的概括，符合语境。 Ⅲ.语法填空 Mobile payment has made our life 1.
