A
Many workers have had no choice but to adapt to working from home in recent months since offices shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠疫情). And the noisy situation and endless housework may result in a terrible emotion. A new option is waiting for you. That is WFH: work from a hotel.
Hotel Figuero
A special program titled Work Perks aims to reposition some of 94-year-old Hotel Figuero’s 268 rooms as day-use offices.
According to Managing Director Connie Wang, the set-up launched in June and is a great opportunity to get out of their houses with high-speed Wi-Fi, unlimited printing privileges and free parking. The 350-square-foot rooms sell for $ 139 per day, with an option to extend to an overnight stay for an additional $ 30.
The Wythe
A boutique hotel in Brooklyn. The hotel recently announced a partnership with co-working office space company Industrious through which it is recycling 13 second-story guest rooms to serve as offices for up to four people.
The Sawyer
The Sawyer, in Sacramento, California, is offering pool cabanas (更衣室) for use as outdoor offices, complete with fast Wi-Fi, free parking and catered lunch for $ 150 per day.
Each of the rooms has a small outdoor platform, and dogs are welcome. Pricing starts at $ 200 and goes up to $ 275, depending on how many people use the space.
Hotels By Day
Yannis Moati founded Hotels By Day back in 2015. That company has grown to include more than 1,500 hotels, and has seen a significant increase in the number of inquiries for day-use bookings lately.
Moati said the current situation will force hotels to upgrade themselves to stay alive, and he predicted that offering rooms for day-use only is one of the directions they will go.
1. How much should one pay for a 24-hour stay in Hotel Figuero?
A. $ 129. B. $ 150.
C. $ 169. D. $ 200.
2. Which hotel allows pets in?
A. The Wythe B. The Sawyer.
C Hotels By Day. D. Hotel Figuero.
3. What do we know about Yannis Moati?
A. He started a program titled Work Perks.
B. He has upgraded at least 1,500 rooms.
C. He usually predicts everything correctly.
D. He is optimistic about the WFH trend.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D

Chen Xingrong, 16, was born with autism(自闭症). “We did not understand why such a thing would happen to us,” says Chen’s father Chen Xunhu. He quit his job at a computer company and devoted his full attention to helping his son. In 2012, Chen Xunhu learned that swimming could help people with autism improve their articulation (发音) and physical growth, so he spent months teaching his son to swim.
“The efforts made no difference in the first three months,” he recalls. To his surprise, after another three months, he discovered that his son had developed the ability to control his breath under water, which significantly boosted his confidence. “I used to plan all his exercises for him, but now it is all up to him,”says the father. “He decides how many exercises he wants to do, and we respect his choices.” In spite of all the hardships in life, Chen Xingrong managed to become an outstanding swimmer, thanks to constant training and the support of his parents. Last year, he won five medals, including a gold, at the 11th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the eighth National Special Olympic Games.
In 2010, an autism-themed film, titled Ocean Heaven, hit the big screen in China. It describes how a dying father attempts to teach his son the necessary life skills to live without him. “My wife and I watched the film in the theater,” he says. “We wept uncontrollably because we could resonate with the film’s characters.”
Since then, as well as swimming, helping his son learn basic life skills is also an important aim for the father. Thanks to his efforts, Chen Xingrong has learned to buy food in the market in their neighborhood He also does voluntary jobs at supermarkets and fast-food restaurants, such as arranging shelves and cleaning dining tables. “He is part of the community, and I hope he will live a normal life in the future. There is nothing that we want more than that,” says Chen Xunhu.
4. Why was Chen Xingrong arranged to swim by his father?
A. To realise his potential of swimming. B. To overcome his problem of articulation.
C. To become a well-known athlete. D. To develop his ability to breath.
5. What made Chen Xingrong’s success?
A. His father’s professional instruction. B. His own special gift for swimming.
C. His physical disability and hardship in life. D. His determination and his parental love.
6. What does the underlined word “resonate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Work together. B. Get along. C. Fall in love. D. Share common feelings.
7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Chen Xingrong has devoted to volunteer jobs.
B. Chen Xingrong is trying to earn much money.
C. Chen Xingrong is learning to adapt to society.
D. Chen Xingrong has quitted his swimming career.

【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了从小患自闭症的孩子陈兴融,在父母的关爱下,15岁斩获五枚游泳比赛奖牌,并学会了基本的生存技能。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In 2012, Chen Xunhu learned that swimming could help people with autism improve their articulation (发音) and physical growth, so he spent months teaching his son to swim.(2012年,陈勋虎了解到游泳可以帮助自闭症患者改善他们的发音和身体发育,所以他花了几个月的时间教儿子游泳)”可知,陈勋虎得知游泳能够帮助自闭症患者改善发音,因此他开始教他儿子游泳。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““The efforts made no difference in the first three months,” he recalls. To his surprise, after another three months, he discovered that his son had developed the ability to control his breath under water, which significantly boosted his confidence. “I used to plan all his exercises for him, but now it is all up to him,” says the father. “He decides how many exercises he wants to do, and we respect his choices.” In spite of all the hardships in life, Chen Xingrong managed to become an outstanding swimmer, thanks to constant training and the support of his parents. Last year, he won five medals, including a gold, at the 11th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the eighth National Special Olympic Games.(他回忆道:“这些努力在头三个月没有起到任何作用。”令他惊讶的是,又过了三个月,他发现儿子已经有了在水下控制呼吸的能力,这大大增强了他的信心。这位父亲说:“过去我为他计划所有的锻炼,但现在一切都由他自己决定。他决定自己想做多少运动,我们尊重他的选择。”尽管生活艰辛,陈兴融还是成为了一名优秀的游泳运动员,这要归功于他不断的训练和父母的支持。去年,他在第十一届全国残疾人运动会和第八届全国特奥会上获得了五枚奖牌,其中包括一枚金牌)”可知,尽管生活艰辛,但陈兴融还是在不断的训练和父母的支持下成了一名优秀的游泳运动员。因此,是他自己的毅力和父母的关爱成就了他。故选D。

词句猜测题。根据第四段“It describes how a dying father attempts to teach his son the necessary life skills to live without him.(它描述了一个垂死的父亲如何试图教会他的儿子必要的生活技能,以适应没有他的生活)”以及划线词上文“We wept uncontrollably because we could”可知,陈勋虎夫妇与电影角色的境遇相似,因此能感同身受。故划线词意思是“分享共同的感受”。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Since then, as well as swimming, helping his son learn basic life skills is also an important aim for the father. Thanks to his efforts, Chen Xingrong has learned to buy food in the market in their neighborhood He also does voluntary jobs at supermarkets and fast-food restaurants, such as arranging shelves and cleaning dining tables. “He is part of the community, and I hope he will live a normal life in the future. There is nothing that we want more than that,” says Chen Xunhu.(从那时起,除了游泳,帮助儿子学习基本的生活技能也是这位父亲的一个重要目标。由于他的努力,陈兴融学会了在附近的市场上买菜,他还在超市和快餐店做义工,比如整理货架和打扫餐桌。“他是这个社区的一部分,我希望他将来能过上正常的生活。没有什么比这更让我们想要的了,”陈勋虎说)”可知,除了游泳以外,陈勋虎也在教他儿子基本的生活技能,以便将来他更好地适应社会。故选C。

Electric cars are supposed to help the world go green and stop hurting the planet. Engineers at Brown University and the University of Maryland are taking that goal to another other level, with a new idea for batteries made from trees, according to new findings published in Nature.
Lithium-ion batteries (锂电池) have become the new form of rechargeable batteries thanks to their extraordinarily long charge. You’re probably reading this story from a device powered by such a battery. Most electric cars like ones made by Tesla use lithium-ion batteries.
These batteries use a liquid solution that conducts lithium ions from the battery’s cathode and anode (阴极和阳极), but the liquid is not what helps ensure electrical power goes from the battery to the device it’s powering. The problem is that this liquid is made of harmful materials that are sometimes unstable. They sometimes have explosive results. A solid conducting structure would prevent this from happening, but it could be likely to crack and break, making the battery useless.
An ideal material for solid state lithium-ion batteries would be thin and flexible to resist structural stresses, and it is wood from a tree. The team in charge of the new research developed a mixed material made of copper (铜) and fibers coming from wood. They tested it out as a model for conducting ions back and forth in a lithium-ion battery, and found it works 10 to 100 times better than other solid-state conductors-a record high.
The new findings are just based on basic model tests, and a rechargeable battery made of trees is still quite a way off. But if it passes test as a practical form of energy, it can very well replace rechargeable batteries. It is not hard to imagine electric cars having better sales for their real green, but saying that their batteries are just made from trees is beyond our imagination.
8. How are engineers making electric cars greener according to the text?
A. By improving the materials of batteries.
B. By reducing lithium ion in the batteries.
C. By using liquid to conduct electric power.
D. By producing more lithium-ion batteries.
9. What is the advantage of lithium-ion batteries?
A. They contain eco-friendly liquid.
B. Their charge lasts for a long time.
C. They offer electrical power stably.
D. They are safe and unlikely to explode.
10. Why is wood chosen as the solid-state conductor?
A. It is resistant to structural pressures.
B. It is much thicker and less changeable.
C. Its copper and fibers conduct ions well.
D. It proves to be a practical form of energy.
11. What can we infer about batteries made of trees from the last paragraph?
A. They have taken effect for a long time.
B. They are still being tested at present.
C. They will never replace current batteries.
D. They will make electric cars hard to sell.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Lithium-ion batteries (锂电池) have become the new form of rechargeable batteries thanks to their extraordinarily long charge.”(因为锂电池电荷非常长,因此它已经成为了一种新的形式充电电池。)可知,锂电池成为一种新型的充电电池的优势在于它的电荷非常长,充电时间长,故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“An ideal material for solid state lithium-ion batteries would be thin and flexible to resist structural stresses, and it is wood from a tree.”(对于固态导体锂电池来说,其材料必须薄且能灵活地抵抗结构应力,而这种理想的材料就是树木。)可知,树木被选做固态导体是因为它能对抗结构应力,故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The new findings are just based on basic model tests, and a rechargeable battery made of trees is still quite a way off.”(这些新的发现还是处于基本的模型试验阶段,离以树为材料制作的可充电电池也还有很长的路要走。)可知,以树为材料的充电电池还只是在其模型测试阶段,故选B。
D
The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown,Ohio,for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another,employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse,even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. "We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,"explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light,about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by,is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.
In the future,the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off"switch"where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.
Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A A new study of different plants.
B. A big fall in crime rates.
C. Employees from various workplaces.
D. Benefits from green plants.
13. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer?
A. To detect plants’ lack of water
B. To change compositions of plants
C. To make the life of plants longer.
D. To test chemicals in plants.
14. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future?
A. They will speed up energy production.
B. They may transmit electricity to the home.
C. They might help reduce energy consumption.
D. They could take the place of power plants.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Can we grow more glowing plants?
B. How do we live with glowing plants?
C. Could glowing plants replace lamps?
D. How are glowing plants made pollution-free?
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章向我们介绍了有关螺蛳粉的一些情况。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:螺蛳粉是中国南方城市柳州的一道标志性菜肴,因其浓烈的味道而闻名。分析句子结构可知,句中谓语是is,空格处是非谓语动词,be known for是固定短语,意为“因……而闻名”,因此空格处用过去分词作后置定语,故填known。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:第一次闻到这种味道可能会很恶心,但尝试过的人说,他们永远不会忘记这种神奇的味道。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导的是定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词those是人,因此空格处用关系代词who,故填who。
【43题详解】
考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:螺蛳粉是汉族传统美食与苗族、侗族传统美食相结合的一种美食,是用竹笋、新鲜蔬菜和花生煮米粉,再加入五香螺汤制成。句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,由by可知,句子用被动语态,因此空格处是一般现在时的被动语态,即is/are done,主语luosifen是单数,因此空格处是is made。故填is made。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:螺蛳粉是上世纪70年代起源于柳州的一种廉价街头小吃,外地人对它知之甚少。分析句子结构可知,句中谓语是served,空格处用非谓语动词,luosifen和originate是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词originating表主动,位于句首,首字母大写,故填Originating。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:螺蛳粉是上世纪70年代起源于柳州的一种廉价街头小吃,外地人对它知之甚少。根据语境可知,句子表示“螺蛳粉是上世纪70年代起源于柳州的一种廉价街头小吃,外地人对它知之甚少”,“outside__5__ the city”意为“外地的”,outside of意为“在……之外”,因此空格处是of,故填of。
【46题详解】
考查强调句。句意:直到2012年,一部热播的中国美食纪录片《舌尖上的中国》介绍了它,它才成为家喻户晓的名字。根据句意和It was可知,句子是强调句,结构是“it is/was+被强调的部分+who/that+其他部分”,句中被强调的是“not until 2012 when a hit Chinese food documentary, A Bite of China, featured it”,是时间,因此空格处用that,故填that。
【47题详解】
考查比较级。句意:两年后,中国有了第一家销售包装螺蛳粉的公司。根据语境可知,句子表示“两年后,中国有了第一家销售包装螺蛳粉的公司”,“两年后”是two years later,故填later。
【48题详解】
考查不定式。句意:两年后,中国有了第一家销售包装螺蛳粉公司。company前有序数词first修饰,因此空格处用不定式to sell作后置定语,故填to sell。
【49题详解】
考查副词。句意:互联网的发展,尤其是电商和网上美食秀的蓬勃发展,将这种中国本土美食的热情提升到了一个新的高度。空格处用副词作状语,especial的副词是especially,意为“尤其”,故填especially。
【50题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:自从第一个视频出现在网上以来,她制作螺蛳粉的视频已经获得了超过6100万的点击量。由“since its first video appeared on the Internet”可知,句子时态用现在完成时,主语video是单数,因此空格处是has gained,故填has gained。

【详解】1.考查定语从句。句意:让我介绍一下我的家乡,我出生以来一直生活在那里。此处引导定语从句,先行词home,在从句中作地点状语,可用关系副词where或者in which引导定语从句。故将that改为where或者在living后加in。

3.考查冠词。句意:冬天,城市总是被雪覆盖着,变成了一个白色的世界。此处第二次提到city,表示特指,需用定冠词the修饰。故将a改为the。

5.考查名词。句意:当春天到来的时候,我的家乡充满了五颜六色的花朵,使城市充满了生机。flower是可数名词,此处表示泛指,需用名词复数形式。故将flower改为flowers。
6.考查介词。句意:那里有许多美丽的景点,成千上万的外国人参观过。a great many意为“许多,大量”,后面直接加可数名词复数。故将of去掉。
7.考查固定短语。句意:如今,城市参与了城市文明的建设。be involved in为固定短语,意为“参与”。故将involving改为involved。
8.考查代词。句意:建设文明城市是我们的责任。后面两句话的主语都是we,前后文代词人称要一致。故将their改为our。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意:我们正着手推广城市的形象。get down to doing sth.表示“着手做某事”,此处为动名词作宾语。故将promote改为promoting。
10.考查形容词比较级。句意:此外,我们应该做更多的实际的事情比以前达到更高的标准。此处为形容词作定语,修饰名词things,结合“than”可知,此处为形容词比较级。故将many改为more。

Chen Xingrong, 16, was born with autism(自闭症). “We did not understand why such a thing would happen to us,” says Chen’s father Chen Xunhu. He quit his job at a computer company and devoted his full attention to helping his son. In 2012, Chen Xunhu learned that swimming could help people with autism improve their articulation (发音) and physical growth, so he spent months teaching his son to swim.
“The efforts made no difference in the first three months,” he recalls. To his surprise, after another three months, he discovered that his son had developed the ability to control his breath under water, which significantly boosted his confidence. “I used to plan all his exercises for him, but now it is all up to him,”says the father. “He decides how many exercises he wants to do, and we respect his choices.” In spite of all the hardships in life, Chen Xingrong managed to become an outstanding swimmer, thanks to constant training and the support of his parents. Last year, he won five medals, including a gold, at the 11th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the eighth National Special Olympic Games.
In 2010, an autism-themed film, titled Ocean Heaven, hit the big screen in China. It describes how a dying father attempts to teach his son the necessary life skills to live without him. “My wife and I watched the film in the theater,” he says. “We wept uncontrollably because we could resonate with the film’s characters.”
Since then, as well as swimming, helping his son learn basic life skills is also an important aim for the father. Thanks to his efforts, Chen Xingrong has learned to buy food in the market in their neighborhood He also does voluntary jobs at supermarkets and fast-food restaurants, such as arranging shelves and cleaning dining tables. “He is part of the community, and I hope he will live a normal life in the future. There is nothing that we want more than that,” says Chen Xunhu.
4. Why was Chen Xingrong arranged to swim by his father?
A. To realise his potential of swimming. B. To overcome his problem of articulation.
C. To become a well-known athlete. D. To develop his ability to breath.
5. What made Chen Xingrong’s success?
A. His father’s professional instruction. B. His own special gift for swimming.
C. His physical disability and hardship in life. D. His determination and his parental love.
6. What does the underlined word “resonate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Work together. B. Get along. C. Fall in love. D. Share common feelings.
7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Chen Xingrong has devoted to volunteer jobs.

D. Chen Xingrong has quitted his swimming career.

Electric cars are supposed to help the world go green and stop hurting the planet. Engineers at Brown University and the University of Maryland are taking that goal to another other level, with a new idea for batteries made from trees, according to new findings published in Nature.
Lithium-ion batteries (锂电池) have become the new form of rechargeable batteries thanks to their extraordinarily long charge You’re probably reading this story from a device powered by such a battery. Most electric cars like ones made by Tesla use lithium-ion batteries.
These batteries use a liquid solution that conducts lithium ions from the battery’s cathode and anode (阴极和阳极), but the liquid is not what helps ensure electrical power goes from the battery to the device it’s powering. The problem is that this liquid is made of harmful materials that are sometimes unstable. They sometimes have explosive results. A solid conducting structure would prevent this from happening, but it could be likely to crack and break, making the battery useless.
An ideal material for solid state lithium-ion batteries would be thin and flexible to resist structural stresses, and it is wood from a tree. The team in charge of the new research developed a mixed material made of copper (铜) and fibers coming from wood. They tested it out as a model for conducting ions back and forth in a lithium-ion battery, and found it works 10 to 100 times better than other solid-state conductors-a record high.
The new findings are just based on basic model tests, and a rechargeable battery made of trees is still quite a way off. But if it passes test as a practical form of energy, it can very well replace rechargeable batteries. It is not hard to imagine electric cars having better sales for their real green, but saying that their batteries are just made from trees is beyond our imagination.
8. How are engineers making electric cars greener according to the text?
A. By improving the materials of batteries.
B. By reducing lithium ion in the batteries.
C. By using liquid to conduct electric power.
D. By producing more lithium-ion batteries.
9. What is the advantage of lithium-ion batteries?
A. They contain eco-friendly liquid.
B. Their charge lasts for a long time.
C. They offer electrical power stably.
D. They are safe and unlikely to explode.
10 Why is wood chosen as the solid-state conductor?
A. It is resistant to structural pressures.
B. It is much thicker and less changeable.
C. Its copper and fibers conduct ions well.
D. It proves to be a practical form of energy.
11. What can we infer about batteries made of trees from the last paragraph?
A. They have taken effect for a long time.
B. They are still being tested at present.
C. They will never replace current batteries.
D. They will make electric cars hard to sell.
D
The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown,Ohio,for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another,employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse,even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. "We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,"explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light,about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by,is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.
In the future,the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off"switch"where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.
Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. A new study of different plants.
B. A big fall in crime rates.
C. Employees from various workplaces.
D. Benefits from green plants.
13. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer?
A. To detect plants’ lack of water
B. To change compositions of plants
C. To make the life of plants longer.
D. To test chemicals in plants.
14. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future?
A. They will speed up energy production.
B. They may transmit electricity to the home.
C. They might help reduce energy consumption.
D. They could take the place of power plants.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Can we grow more glowing plants?
B. How do we live with glowing plants?
C. Could glowing plants replace lamps?
D. How are glowing plants made pollution-free?
