The Magic House | St.Louis，Missouri The folks at The Magic House in St.Louis are sharing their expertise through their Magic at Home series.Each edition features a project that kids and their parents can do with household materials，like making a banjo or animal figures. City Museum | St.Louis，Missouri While City Museum is closed to visitors，the museum staff，artists and historians have launched City Museum on Air.This series takes place each weekday with an eclectic lineup of programming－everything from free art classes，storytelling sessions and museum tours at upcoming exhibits. Kohl Children's Museum | Glenview，Illinois This winning children's museum calls itself “The place where awesomeness lives”，and would­be visitors can bring that awesomeness into the home through its library of online teaching resources，story time sessions and “Home Zone” projects.Kids can learn how to fold paper airplanes，learn about the physics of wheels or make their own recycled paper. 1. What results in the closing of children's museums? A．The spreading of a disease. B．The decrease of would­be visitors. C．The readers' votes on museums. D．The development of digital programming. 2. When is online programming of City Museum accessible? A．At weekends.　　　　 B．At any time. C．On weekdays. D．On holidays. 3. What do The Magic House and Kohl Children's Museum have in common? A．Stressing hands­on experience. B．Demonstrating how wheels work. C．Offering storytelling courses. D．Teaching how to copy animal figures. 【语篇解读】　受新冠肺炎的影响，一些从投票中获胜的儿童博物馆不得不关上大门。但是，它们将馆中的一些项目放到了网上。本文介绍了这些博物馆的网上项目的内幕。 1．A　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Shortly after announcing the winners，these museums had to close their doors to help protect their communities from the spread of COVID­19”可知，在宣布获胜者后不久，这些博物馆不得不关门，以帮助保护其社区免受COVID­19传染；据此可知，关门是为了防止疾病的传染，故A项正确。 2．C　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“This series takes place each weekday with an eclectic lineup of programming”可知，城市博物馆的网上项目在工作日时开放，故C项正确。 3．A　推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“Each edition features a project that kids and their parents can do with household materials，like making a banjo or animal figures”可知，在魔术屋，孩子和他们的父母可以用家庭材料来制作班卓琴或动物模型。根据第四段尾句“Kids can learn how to fold paper airplanes，learn about the physics of wheels or make their own recycled paper”可知，在科尔儿童博物馆，孩子们可以学习如何折纸飞机，学习轮子的物理原理，或者自己制作再生纸。据此可知，魔术屋和科尔儿童博物馆的共同特点是强调实践经验，故A项正确。 B My parents owned a neighborhood bar called the M Ninety­Seven，named after a nearby highway，on the corner of State Fair and Hoover Avenues in Detroit.Built in the 1930s，it had a long wooden bar that was on the right as you walked in.　I_grew_up_in_the_bar　.When most kids of my age were at the park playing ball or riding bikes，I was watching old men shoot pool and play shuffleboard (沙壶球). My father spent his entire life serving drinks and bringing cheer to customers.There were the white­collars who would step in to unwind from the day's stress.They would bend elbows with the blue­collars and day laborers on either side of them.It always surprised me that they were able to mingle (相交往).I would sit at the last table by the kitchen，sipping Cokes and eating a bag of Better Made potato chips with my twin sister，watching it all. It was the 1960s version of a reality show.There was Big Bill，the tough talking policeman who stood six and a half feet tall and weighed just shy of the beer truck he drank daily.His views on society could be hard to listen to at times.But one night，he showed that he was all talk.While Bill was on patrol(巡逻)，a call came over the radio about an apartment fire.He raced the scout car to the scene，beating even the fire crew.The building was ablaze.He ran up three flights of stairs through smoke and flames to rescue two frightened children.Bill carried them out in his arms like each was a carton of eggs.The man with an explosive mouth but a keg­sized heart saved the day. Years passed，my father died，and the bar was sold.Like secondhand smoke，the words and the scenes from that bar stayed with me. 4．What did the author want to tell us by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 ? A．His family built a wooden bar. B．He didn't play with kids at the park. C．He liked making friends with old men. D．He was familiar with everything in the bar. 5.

A．Rude and careless. B．Tough but a little bit shy. C．Complaining but responsible. D．Talkative and narrow­hearted. 7. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．The bar impressed the writer a lot. B．The father didn't manage the bar well. C．Secondhand smoke is similar to the bar. D．The writer has nothing to do with the bar. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了“我”的父母在底特律开了一个酒吧，那里留着“我”童年的记忆：“我”常和妹妹在酒吧里吃着零食，看着酒吧里的一切；“我”还记得警察Bill救火的事迹。后来父亲过世，酒吧易主，但酒吧里的话和场景一直陪伴着我。 4．D　细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句可知，“我”是在酒吧长大的。当在“我”这个年龄的大多数孩子在公园打球或骑自行车时，“我”却在看老人打普尔和玩沙壶球。据此可知，画线句子是为了说明作者对酒吧的一切都很熟悉，故D项正确。 5．D　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“There were the white­collars who would step in to unwind from the day's stress”可知，白领来酒吧是为了放松，故D项正确。 6．C　推理判断题。根据第三段第三句可知，Bill对社会的看法有时会不好听，根据该段最后三句可知，警察Bill穿过烟和火焰救下了两个孩子，说明他善良，有责任感。据此可以判断，Bill是一个有点抱怨但是有责任感的人，故C项正确。 7．A　推理判断题。根据本文尾句“Like secondhand smoke，the words and the scenes from that bar stayed with me”可知，虽然过去多年，但是酒吧里的那些话和场景就像二手烟一样萦绕在“我”身边。据此可以判断，酒吧给作者留下了深刻的印象，故A项正确。 C As data and identity theft becomes more and more common，the market is growing for biometric (生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e­spaces.At present，these technologies are still expensive，though. Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low­cost device(装置)that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard.This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence (节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key.The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses.These patterns are unique to each person.Thus，the keyboard can determine people's identities，and by extension，whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right. It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with.Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently. In a study describing the technology，the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard.Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed，with very low error rates.The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive，plastic­like parts.The team hopes to make it to market in the near future. 8．Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard? A．To reduce pressure on keys. B．To improve accuracy in typing. C．To replace the password system. D．To cut the cost of e­space protection. 9．What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible? A．Computers are much easier to operate. B．Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast. C．Typing patterns vary from person to person. D．Data security measures are guaranteed. 10．What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard? A．It'll be environment­friendly. B．It'll reach consumers soon. C．It'll be made of plastics. D．It'll help speed up typing. 11．Where is this text most likely from? A．A diary. B．A guidebook. C．A novel. D．A magazine. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文，主题语境是人与社会，内容为科技发展。文章介绍了佐治亚理工学院的研究者们想出了一种低成本的装置——智能键盘，来保护私人的电子空间，并希望这种设备能尽快进入市场，服务消费者。本文侧重培养学生的创新能力。 8．D　细节理解题。本题题干意为：研究者们为什么研发智能键盘？根据文章第一段可知，现在一些阻止别人进入私人电子空间的技术成本仍然很高。因此，来自佐治亚理工学院的研究者们想出了一种低成本的(low­cost)装置——智能键盘，来应对这个问题。所以答案为D项。 9．C　细节理解题。本题题干意为：什么使智能键盘这项发明成为可能？根据第二段第四句“These patterns are unique to each person.”可知，因为每个人的打字模式各不相同，所以智能键盘能识别人的身份，保护人的隐私。所以答案为C项。 10．B　细节理解题。本题题干意为：研究者们对智能键盘期待什么？根据文章最后一段最后两句话，研究者们说键盘应该直接商业化，智能键盘主要是由价格低廉的塑料类配件制成，团队希望它在不久的将来进入市场。所以答案为B项。 11．D　推理判断题。本题题干意为：这篇文章最有可能来自哪里？文章介绍了一种新的保护电子隐私空间的设备——智能键盘，并且希望产品能很快走进市场。本文语言客观严谨，属于科普类文章，故答案为D项。 D Barbara McClintock was one of the most important scientists of the twentieth century.She made important discoveries about genes (基因) and chromosomes (染色体). Barbara McClintock was born in 1902 in Hartford, Connecticut.Her family moved to the Brooklyn area of New York City in 1908.Barbara was an active child with interests in sports and music.She also developed an interest in science. She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca，New York.Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921.Years later, she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics. Barbara McClintock decided to study botany，the scientific study of plants，at Cornell University.She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923.McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell.She completed a master's degree in 1925.Two years later，she finished all her requirements for a doctorate. McClintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education.She taught students botany.The 1930s was not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States.The country was in the middle of the Great Depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed.Male scientists were offered jobs.But female geneticists were not much in demand. An old friend from Cornell, Marcus Rhoades，invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941 working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.It is a research center on Long Island，near New York City.McClintock started a temporary (临时的) job in the genetics department.A short time later，she accepted a permanent position in the laboratory.This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for economic aid. By the 1970s，her discoveries had had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research. McClintock won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change positions on chromosomes.She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize. 12. When did McClintock receive her doctorate? A．In 1921.　　　　　　 B．In 1923. C．In 1925. D．In 1927. 13．What happened during the Great Depression in the US?

Confucius lived in the Spring and Autumn Period and he was the most famous as well as the most respected educator in China according to the recorded documents.His educational theories and stories with his students were collected into a book named The Analects，which have been influencing Chinese profoundly for more than 2000 years.Now，Confucian ethics have spread at home and abroad and been warmly accepted by western people，which accounts for the fact that more and more Confucius Institutes are founded across the whole world. As a Chinese，I' m proud of Confucius，who has made such a great contribution to human beings. 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。续写词数应为150左右。 A Simple Thank You I have been in the teaching profession for more than thirty years，and one of the best teachers I have ever known was Mr.Rowe.I was lucky enough to co­teach the fourth grade with him. Mr.Rowe had infinite patience and understanding and I learned so much from watching him.He could perform miracles，like the one he performed with Steven，one of the unhappiest kids I ever saw.Steven couldn't stand school.He didn't like being picked last for kickball.He didn't like the kids who raised their hands and knew all the answers，and most importantly，he didn't like himself. The first day he walked into Mr.Rowe's classroom，he ignored the other students，looking angry and annoyed，and slid into his chair，knocking a couple of textbooks onto the floor. Mr.Rowe walked over to him and touched Steven's shoulder，but Steven pulled away.Nevertheless，Mr.Rowe welcomed him，“Hi，Steven.I'm happy you are in my class.We are going to have a great year.” Steven looked around the room as if Mr.Rowe must be mistaken.No teacher in his right mind would want Steven to be part of his classroom. So，while Mr.Rowe seemed cheerful and relaxed that day of school，it seemed like Steven was angry and confused. That day after classes，Mr.Rowe chose Steven to pitch kickball at recess.“Hey，Steven，”Mr.Rowe commented，“You are good at pitching.Let me show you my secret trick.” Mr.Rowe taught Steven one of the tricks that not a single kid could perform.Steven learned fast and did quite well! Everyone cheered him! After the kickball，Steven sat as close to Mr.Rowe in classes as he could.When a question was asked，Steven lit up; he knew the answer! He raised his hands.When he answered the question，his voice shook.However，he got the answer right! He said，with Mr.Rowe，his days of the fourth grade promised wonderful. That was not to say that every day went smoothly，but it was evident that Steven grew to love Mr.Rowe more and more with each passing day. Time passed quickly that year，and before we all knew it，it was the last day of school.________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Many years later，Mr.Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom，dressed in the Marine Corps (海军陆战队) uniform. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 Time passed quickly that year，and before we all knew it，it was the last day of school.Our school had a very special tradition on the last day.All the teachers filled the roadside，waving goodbye to the kids as the buses pulled out with their horns honking.But on that particular days Steven walked slowly to the bus，his head down，tears in his eyes.He boarded the bus reluctantly，hesitated，and then ran back off the bus to hug Mr.Rowe.“I don't want to leave you.” He sobbed.With red­rimmed eyes，Mr.Rowe comforted him，“I will miss you，too.” Many years later，Mr.Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom，dressed in the Marine Corps (海军陆战队) uniform.The young man stood tall and proud，it was Steven! Mr.Rowe and I couldn't believe our eyes.He saluted and hugged Mr.Rowe tightly! “I have come back to school today just to say thanks to you！” It is my hope that every teacher is blessed with such an experience of a former student coming back simply to say a very simple THANKS. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
