Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on 30 August 2020, where passers­by could spend time reading.The selections included motivational books, biographies and novels as well as comics for young children.“I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read, but that is okay,” she laughed. Meena’s bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner.Within two months, her effort became the talk of the town. Now, generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itanagar.Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town, she also lends books out to those who want to read at home. “I never thought that this would become such a big inspiration,” Meena said.“Since childhood, we have been told that books are our best friends.The next generation of kids is focused on games and other things.I don’t want them to head on the wrong track,” she added. 4. What’s the aim of Meena’s reading program? A. To care for youngsters lacking in reading. B. To help adults learn some cohesive expression. C. To keep Ngurang Learning Institute running well. D. To highlight the importance of reading for adults. 5. What did Meena do to encourage young kids to read more? A. She offered some rewards to them. B. She provided them with transportation. C. She chose novels with beautiful covers. D. She selected books covering every category. 6. Which words can best describe Meena’s libraries? A. Small and useless. B. Influential and meaningful. C. Large but impractical. D. Widespread but unwelcome. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Books：Sources of Knowledge B. The Roadside Reading Corner C. The Library：an Ideal place for the Young D. New Ideas about Setting a Reading Plan 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位名叫Meena的女教师发现孩子们缺乏阅读后，决定开设一个路边的读书角，以激励他们多读书的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They lack guidance and their reading culture is almost zero(他们缺乏指导，他们的阅读文化几乎为零)”以及第二段中的“Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on 30 August 2020, where passers­by could spend time reading.(2020年8月30日，Meena在尼尔朱利的路边搭建了一个书架，书架上有大约80本书和一些长凳，路人可以在那里花时间阅读。)”可知，Meena阅读计划的目的是关心那些缺乏阅读条件的年轻人，故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read, but that is okay(我必须用糖果来取悦未成年人，让他们坐下来看书，但这没关系)”可知，Meena通过给小孩子一些糖果作为奖励来鼓励他们多读书，故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itanagar.(公众慷慨捐赠书籍，她甚至收到在该州其他地区建立此类图书馆的请求，包括在首都伊塔那加的一个图书馆。)”可知，Meena的路边图书馆想法得到了外界的广泛支持与认可，人们想要更多这样的图书馆。因此，Meena的图书馆是非常有意义且有影响力的，故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on 30 August 2020(受Mizoram类似提议的启发，Meena于2020年8月30日在Nirjuli的路边设立了一个书架，书架上有大约80本书以及一些长凳)”以及结合全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了Meena为了鼓励孩子们多读书，在路边开设了街边图书馆，故选B。 C Is diet soda safe? If you’re concerned about sugar, diet products seem a better option, sweet and not so bad for you. Wrong! Drinking diet soda regularly can increase your risk of diseases. Despite the fact that we call these drinks “diet”, the artificial sweeteners they contain are linked to weight gain, not loss. There’s the latest evidence that they increase the risk of depression, which comes from a new analysis by researchers at Harvard Medical School. The team drew upon a data set of nearly 32,000 female nurses, ages 42 to 62 when the study began. It turned out that the nurses who consumed the most diet drinks had a 37 percent higher chance of depression, compared to those who drank the least or none. Diet soda also increases your risk of stroke (中风), according to a separate meta-analysis that included 72 studies. Looking for the causes behind the stroke, researchers took various blood measurements when 12 healthy volunteers in their 20s drank water, soda, or diet soda. The result showed that both sodas slowed the flow of blood within the brain. Though the effect didn’t seem sufficient to cause stroke, slower blood flow could have accumulating effects. Other researchers have found that diet soda increases the risk of dementia (痴呆), from data from nearly 178,000 volunteers tracked over an average of nine years. That’s not a big surprise. An earlier study of about 4,300 volunteers concluded that drinking diet soda every day was tied to three times the risk of dementia over the following decade. The researchers looked at brain scans and the results of mental function assessments. A daily diet soda was linked to smaller brains and aggravates long-term memory, two risk factors for dementia. Avoiding depression, stroke, and dementia is an obvious goal for whoever desires to age healthily. So you know what to do. 8. How does the author present his point of view? A. By analyzing causes. B. By giving opinions. C. By quoting specialists. D. By presenting research. 9. What effect might diet soda have on people? A. Slight weight loss. B. Increased blood flow. C. Raised depression risk. D. Severe mental decline. 10. Which can best replace the underlined word “aggravates” in paragraph 4? A. Deletes. B. Worsens. C. Motivates. D. Stimulates. 11. What might the author advise us to do? A. Quit consuming diet sodas. B. Limit the daily sugar intake. C. Set achievable health goals. D. Follow fixed aging process. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章中作者通过引用多项研究来表明喝无糖汽水的危害，包括增加患抑郁症、中风和痴呆的风险。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“There’s the latest evidence that they increase the risk of depression, which comes from a new analysis by researchers at Harvard Medical School.(最新的证据表明，它们会增加患抑郁症的风险，这一证据来自哈佛医学院研究人员的一项新分析)”以及倒数第二段“Other researchers have found that diet soda increases the risk of dementia (痴呆), from data from nearly 178,000 volunteers tracked over an average of nine years.(其他研究人员发现，无糖汽水会增加患痴呆症的风险，这些数据来自对近17.8万名志愿者平均9年的跟踪调查)”可知，作者通过展示研究来提出自己的观点。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“There’s the latest evidence that they increase the risk of depression, which comes from a new analysis by researchers at Harvard Medical School.(最新的证据表明，它们会增加患抑郁症的风险，这一证据来自哈佛医学院研究人员的一项新分析)”可知，根据哈佛医学院研究人员的数据，无糖汽水会增加患抑郁症的风险。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“A daily diet soda was linked to smaller brains(每天喝无糖汽水会导致大脑萎缩)”和后文“two risk factors for dementia(痴呆的两个危险因素)”可知，每天喝无糖汽水会导致大脑萎缩，所以“aggravates long-term memory(aggravates长期记忆)”也应表示无糖汽水的不良影响。因此，aggravate的意思应为“使恶化”，worsen与之意思相近。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Avoiding depression, stroke, and dementia is an obvious goal for whoever desires to age healthily. So you know what to do.(避免抑郁、中风和痴呆是任何想要健康老去的人的一个明显目标。所以你知道该怎么做)”可知，为了能健康地老去，作者可能会建议我们停止喝无糖汽水。故选A。 D Recent developments in robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning have brought us in the eye of the storm of a new automation age. About half of the work carried out by people was likely to be automated by 2055 with adaption to technology, a McKinsey Global Institute report predicted. Automation can enable businesses to improve performance by reducing errors and improving quality and speed, and in some cases achieving outcomes that go beyond human capabilities. At a time of weak productivity growth worldwide, automation technologies can provide the much-needed promotion of economic growth, according to the report. Automation could raise productivity growth globally by 0.8 percent to 1.4 percent. At a global level, technically automated activities involved 1.1 billion employees and 11.9 trillion U.S. dollars in wages, the report said. The report also showed that activities most influenced by automation were physical ones in highly structured and predictable environments, as well as data collection and processing. In the United States, these activities make up 51 percent of activities in the economy, accounting for almost 2.7 trillion dollars in wages. They are most common in production, accommodation and food service, and the retail (零售) trade. And it’s not just low-skill, low-wage work that is likely to be influenced by automation; middle-skill and high-paying, high-skill occupations, too, have a degree of automation potential. The robots and computers not only can perform a range of routine physical work activities better and more cheaply than humans, but are also increasingly capable of accomplishing activities that require cognitive (认知的) capabilities, such as feeling emotions or driving. While much of the current debate about automation has focused on the potential that many people may be replaced and therefore lose their financial resources, the analysis shows that humans will still be needed: The total productivity gains will only come about if people work alongside machines. 12. What is the report mainly about? A. Comparisons of robots with humans. B. Analysis of automation’s potential in economy. C. Prediction of the unemployment problem. D. Explanations of the concept of the automation age. 13. What might happen in 2055 according to the text? A. Automation will cause weak productivity growth. B. Automation will reduce employees’ wages. C. Activities like data collection and processing will disappear. D. Activities involve feeling emotions can be performed by robots. 14. How does the author feel about human workers? A. Worried. B. Mixed. C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Automation: A challenge to all? B. Automation: Where to go from here? C. Automation: Who is the eventual winner? D. Automation: A future replacement for humans? 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了麦肯锡全球研究院的一份报告。报告预测，到2055年，随着对技术的适应，大约一半的人类工作有可能实现自动化。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的句子“About half of the work carried out by people was likely to be automated by 2055 with adaption to technology, a McKinsey Global Institute report predicted. (麦肯锡全球研究所(McKinsey Global Institute)的一份报告预测，到2055年，随着技术的发展，大约一半的人类工作可能会实现自动化。)”和接下来三段的展开论述可知，这篇报告主要分析了自动化对经济的影响，探讨了自动化在提高效率、推动经济增长方面的作用，以及这一趋势对不同类型工作的影响。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容“The robots and computers not only can perform a range of routine physical work activities better and more cheaply than humans, but are also increasingly capable of accomplishing activities that require cognitive capabilities, such as feeling emotions or driving. (机器人和计算机不仅可以比人类更好、更便宜地完成一系列日常体力劳动，而且也越来越有能力完成需要认知能力的活动，比如感受情绪或驾驶。)”可知，机器人和计算机会越来越能够完成需要认知能力才能完成的事，例如感受情绪或驾驶车辆。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While much of the current debate about automation has focused on the potential that many people may be replaced and therefore lose their financial resources, the analysis shows that humans will still be needed: The total productivity gains will only come about if people work alongside machines. (虽然目前关于自动化的争论主要集中在许多人可能被取代从而失去经济资源的可能性上，但分析表明，人类仍然是需要的：只有当人类与机器一起工作时，总生产率才会提高。)”可知，作者对人类工作者持积极乐观的态度。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文开头主要介绍了机器人技术、人工智能和机器学习的最新发展使人类处于一个新的自动化时代的风口浪尖。麦肯锡全球研究院的一份报告预测，到2055年，随着对技术的适应，大约一半的人工工作有可能实现自动化。接着文章展开介绍了自动化对经济及不同类型工作的影响，最后提出人类和机器一起工作，总生产率提高才会实现。因此D项“自动化：未来人类的替代品？”适合作本文标题。故选D。 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。 A Few Tips for Overcoming Differences and Disagreements With Others We are now living in a world filled with conflicts and different opinions. _____16_____ Counter anger with sympathy and empathy (同理心). Try to respond to any disharmony with sympathy and patience. Rather than get upset, think about how you can find a solution. Try to empathize with others and work with their shortcomings or issues instead of trying to change them or make them see your viewpoint. Remember different events have different meanings to different people. ____17____ Avoid shouting at others. Try not to become angry with others, as this will only make the disagreement worse. If you’re very upset, try stepping away from the situation and returning when you’re calm and relaxed. ___18___Acknowledge the other person’s anger and offer to talk about the situation later. Allow you both to cool off a little. Thus, you can have a more productive discussion that isn’t dominated by emotion. ____19____ Maintain eye contact with the person when they are speaking even though you disagree with what they’re saying. Keep your arms relaxed and turn your body towards them so they know you’re paying attention. Avoid interrupting them when they’re talking. Instead, wait for them to finish speaking. Then try repeating what they said to them so they know you heard them correctly. Accept that you may not agree with everyone. You may not be able to be friends with everyone you meet. ____20____ Acknowledge that you may have to disagree with certain people willingly. Just because you do not agree with someone doesn’t mean you cannot have compassion and empathy for them. You can still connect with people you disagree with and find a sense of harmony with them. A. Try your best to be an active and positive listener. B. Take a deep breath and try to respond to others calmly. C. When you argue with a friend, put yourself in their shoes. D.

Try to respond to any disharmony with sympathy and patience.(用同情和同理心来对抗愤怒。尽量用同情心和耐心来回应任何不和谐的情况)”以及空处上一句“Remember different events have different meanings to different people.(记住，不同的事件对不同的人有不同的意义)”可知，正是因为不同的人对于同一事件可能有不同的看法，所以要站在对方的角度考虑争论的话题。故C项“当你和一个朋友产生争论的时候，你要设身处地为他/她想一想。”符合语境。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据本段第二句“Try not to become angry with others, as this will only make the disagreement worse.(尽量不要生别人的气，因为这只会使分歧更严重)”可知，接下来应该说怎么做。再根据空处上一句“If you’re very upset, try stepping away from the situation and returning when you’re calm and relaxed.(如果你非常沮丧，试着离开这种情况，当你平静和放松的时候再回来)”可知，本句与前一句语义上相呼应，都是在介绍一些合理和正确的做法。故B项“做一下深呼吸，尽量冷静地回应别人。”符合语境。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据本段内容“Maintain eye contact with the person when they are speaking even though you disagree with what they’re saying. Keep your arms relaxed and turn your body towards them so they know you’re paying attention. Avoid interrupting them when they’re talking. Instead, wait for them to finish speaking. Then try repeating what they said to them so they know you heard them correctly.(当他们说话的时候，即使你不同意他们说的话，也要保持眼神交流。保持手臂放松，身体转向手臂，这样他们就知道你在专心听讲。当他们说话时，避免打断他们。相反，等他们把话说完。然后试着重复他们说的话，这样他们就知道你没听错)”可知，本段重点说明在对方讲话的时候要注意倾听。因此，A项“尽你所能成为一个积极主动的倾听者。”符合语境。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据本段第一句“Accept that you may not agree with everyone.(接受你可能不同意所有人的观点)”以及后文“Acknowledge that you may have to disagree with certain people willingly. Just because you do not agree with someone doesn’t mean you cannot have compassion and empathy for them. You can still connect with people you disagree with and find a sense of harmony with them.(承认你可能不得不自愿地不同意某些人的意见。仅仅因为你不同意某人的观点并不意味着你不能同情和同情他们。你仍然可以与意见不一致的人保持联系，并找到一种和谐的感觉)”可知，本段的内容与“接受你可能不与所有人观点一致”相关。G项中的“have opposing ideas or values”与本段第一句中的“not agree with”及空后句中的“disagree with”呼应，G项中的“difficult to find common ground”与本段最后一句中的“find a sense of harmony with them”相对应。G选项“你们可能有相反的想法或价值观，很难找到共同点”符合语境。故选G项。 第三部分 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。 My initial interest in natural medicine started at a young age.

A science journal. B That youngsters were glued to online games on their smart phones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena, a school teacher in Nirjuli.The 30­year­old social science teacher, who ran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre, said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers.“The graph of student performance is falling every year.It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets — basic grammar skills are missing and there’s an absence of any cohesive (连贯的) expression.They lack guidance and their reading culture is almost zero,” Meena said.When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to infectious diseases, she planned to do something to address the problem. Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on 30 August 2020, where passers­by could spend time reading.The selections included motivational books, biographies and novels as well as comics for young children.“I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read, but that is okay,” she laughed. Meena’s bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner.Within two months, her effort became the talk of the town. Now generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itanagar.Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town, she also lends books out to those who want to read at home. “I never thought that this would become such a big inspiration,” Meena said.“Since childhood, we have been told that books are our best friends.The next generation of kids is focused on games and other things.I don’t want them to head on the wrong track,” she added. 4. What’s the aim of Meena’s reading program? A. To care for youngsters lacking in reading. B. To help adults learn some cohesive expression. C. To keep Ngurang Learning Institute running well. D. To highlight the importance of reading for adults. 5. What did Meena do to encourage young kids to read more? A. She offered some rewards to them. B. She provided them with transportation. C. She chose novels with beautiful covers. D. She selected books covering every category. 6. Which words can best describe Meena’s libraries? A. Small and useless. B. Influential and meaningful. C. Large but impractical. D. Widespread but unwelcome. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Books：Sources of Knowledge B. The Roadside Reading Corner C. The Library：an Ideal place for the Young D. New Ideas about Setting a Reading Plan C Is diet soda safe? If you’re concerned about sugar, diet products seem a better option, sweet and not so bad for you. Wrong! Drinking diet soda regularly can increase your risk of diseases. Despite the fact that we call these drinks “diet”, the artificial sweeteners they contain are linked to weight gain, not loss. There’s the latest evidence that they increase the risk of depression, which comes from a new analysis by researchers at Harvard Medical School. The team drew upon a data set of nearly 32,000 female nurses, ages 42 to 62 when the study began. It turned out that the nurses who consumed the most diet drinks had a 37 percent higher chance of depression, compared to those who drank the least or none. Diet soda also increases your risk of stroke (中风) according to a separate meta-analysis that included 72 studies. Looking for the causes behind the stroke, researchers took various blood measurements when 12 healthy volunteers in their 20s drank water, soda, or diet soda. The result showed that both sodas slowed the flow of blood within the brain. Though the effect didn’t seem sufficient to cause stroke, slower blood flow could have accumulating effects. Other researchers have found that diet soda increases the risk of dementia (痴呆), from data from nearly 178,000 volunteers tracked over an average of nine years. That’s not a big surprise. An earlier study of about 4,300 volunteers concluded that drinking diet soda every day was tied to three times the risk of dementia over the following decade. The researchers looked at brain scans and the results of mental function assessments. A daily diet soda was linked to smaller brains and aggravates long-term memory, two risk factors for dementia. Avoiding depression, stroke, and dementia is an obvious goal for whoever desires to age healthily. So you know what to do. 8. How does the author present his point of view? A. By analyzing causes. B. By giving opinions. C. By quoting specialists. D. By presenting research. 9. What effect might diet soda have on people? A. Slight weight loss. B. Increased blood flow. C Raised depression risk. D. Severe mental decline. 10. Which can best replace the underlined word “aggravates” in paragraph 4? A. Deletes. B. Worsens. C. Motivates. D. Stimulates. 11. What might the author advise us to do? A. Quit consuming diet sodas. B. Limit the daily sugar intake. C. Set achievable health goals. D. Follow fixed aging process. D Recent developments in robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning have brought us in the eye of the storm of a new automation age. About half of the work carried out by people was likely to be automated by 2055 with adaption to technology, a McKinsey Global Institute report predicted. Automation can enable businesses to improve performance by reducing errors and improving quality and speed, and in some cases achieving outcomes that go beyond human capabilities. At a time of weak productivity growth worldwide, automation technologies can provide the much-needed promotion of economic growth, according to the report. Automation could raise productivity growth globally by 0.8 percent to 1.4 percent. At a global level, technically automated activities involved 1.1 billion employees and 11.9 trillion U.S. dollars in wages, the report said. The report also showed that activities most influenced by automation were physical ones in highly structured and predictable environments, as well as data collection and processing. In the United States, these activities make up 51 percent of activities in the economy, accounting for almost 2.7 trillion dollars in wages. They are most common in production, accommodation and food service, and the retail (零售) trade. And it’s not just low-skill, low-wage work that is likely to be influenced by automation; middle-skill and high-paying, high-skill occupations, too, have a degree of automation potential. The robots and computers not only can perform a range of routine physical work activities better and more cheaply than humans, but are also increasingly capable of accomplishing activities that require cognitive (认知的) capabilities, such as feeling emotions or driving. While much of the current debate about automation has focused on the potential that many people may be replaced and therefore lose their financial resources, the analysis shows that humans will still be needed: The total productivity gains will only come about if people work alongside machines. 12. What is the report mainly about? A. Comparisons of robots with humans. B. Analysis of automation’s potential in economy. C. Prediction of the unemployment problem. D. Explanations of the concept of the automation age. 13. What might happen in 2055 according to the text? A Automation will cause weak productivity growth. B. Automation will reduce employees’ wages. C. Activities like data collection and processing will disappear. D. Activities involve feeling emotions can be performed by robots. 14. How does the author feel about human workers? A. Worried. B. Mixed. C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Automation: A challenge to all? B. Automation: Where to go from here? C. Automation: Who is the eventual winner? D. Automation: A future replacement for humans? 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。 A Few Tips for Overcoming Differences and Disagreements With Others We are now living in a world filled with conflicts and different opinions. _____16_____ Counter anger with sympathy and empathy (同理心).
