In fact, the artist tried many different painting styles in his life. Picasso studied at an art school at an early age. But he was bored with learning all the old things. When he was 18 years old, the young man joined a group of artists who tried new ideas. He wanted to try new painting styles on his own. In 1901, a close friend of Picasso’s died. The artist was very sad. He started to paint death and hopelessness. This part of his life is known as his Blue Period (蓝色时期). After Picasso slowly got over his sadness, he started his Rose Period, painting in warm colors, such as pink and orange. Later, Picasso worked with the artist Georges Braque and Cubism (立体主义) came into being. In this style of art, the painters broke their subjects down into many flat (平的) shapes. They then put them back together in a “strange” way. In 1937, the famous Guernica was born. This great Cubist painting shows the town of Guernica after it was broken during World War I. The artist kept on trying new art styles all his life. Isn’t that amazing? 21. What do most people think of Picasso’s paintings? A. Blue. B. Happy. C. Strange. D. Abstract. 22. When did Picasso begin to try his own style? A. In 1901. B. In 1937. C. At the age of 18. D. At an early age. 23.

He wanted to try new painting styles on his own.”可知，他18岁的时候开始尝试自己的风格，故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In 1901, ....This part of his life is known as his Blue Period (蓝色时期)....After Picasso slowly got over his sadness, he started his Rose Period, painting in warm colors...Later, Picasso worked with the artist Georges Braque and Cubism (立体主义) came into being.”可知，先是他的“蓝色时期”，接着是“玫瑰时期”，后来是“立体主义”诞生，争取的顺序是①③②。故选B。 【24题详解】 代词指代题。根据“In 1937, the famous Guernica was born.

With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens (潮湿) each thing. O’er (遍及，到处) wild lanes (线路) dark cloud spreads; In boat a lantern looms (突然出现). Down (黎明) sees saturated (湿透的) reds; The town’s heavy with blooms (开花). This famous poem, with four couplets (对句), was written by Du Fu (712—770, Tang Dynasty) when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful to nature. The very first word, “good”, shows the poet’s happiness and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the right time to came. Here the poet uses personification (拟人), as if the rain were smart enough to come in time for the farmer’s busy season. When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known. In the third couplet, the poet describes a peaceful scene (情景) to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign (标志) that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier. Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom after the rain. 26. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following statement is not right? A. The very first word, “good”, shows the poet is happy. B. The famous poem was written in Tang Dynasty. C.

Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom after the rain.”可知，诗中关于雨后百花盛开的场景是诗人的想象，因此选项D错误。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Happy Rain on a Spring Night”可知，此诗的中文标题为《春夜喜雨》。故选B。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据“With wind it steals in night;”（随风潜入夜）可知，此处指它乘风潜入黑夜，为拟人手法，故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise”可知，这场春雨很安静，故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“His farming experience taught him to be thankful to nature.”可知，杜甫在这首诗中想表达的是对大自然的感激之情。故选A。 ① Facial-recognition (面部识别) cameras are everywhere—even in your smart phone. Many people use this technology to unlock their phones, open doors, or make quick payments. But there is a problem during the epidemic (疫情): everyone wears masks. What a headache! ② Scientists are trying to solve this problem. For example, Engineering and Technology (E&T) magazine reports that Hanwang, a tech company in Beijing, has made a new system. It can recognize 95% of people when they wear masks. ③ What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes. Marios Savvides from Camegie Mellon University studies facial-recognition. As we get older, he says, our faces change shape. But the area around our eyes doesn’t. It stays the same—even if we put on weight. As long as there are enough data from the area of our eyes, the cameras can recognize us. ④ Tech 5 is another facial-recognition company. The Swiss company’s products scan the shape of your face. They also scan your iris, which is the colored part of your eyes. Then they get the image(图像) of your upper face. Tech 5 hopes to ignore (忽略) all of the face below the nose. ⑤ This kind of software is more important than just unlocking your phone. “It can discover criminals, even when they wear masks,” said Huang Lei from Hanwang. Hanwang’s technology is used by Chinese police in places like subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force. ⑥ ____▲____: it can’t work when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Lei said to E&T. 31. Now, what can people use facial-recognition technology for? A. Taking photos. B. Shutting doors. C. Paying for things. D. Locking smart phones. 32. What is the meaning of the underlined word scan in paragraph 4? A. 看待 B. 检验 C. 扫描 D. 调试 33. What is the problem with Facial-recognition cameras during the epidemic? A. It doesn’t work when people wear masks. B. It causes trouble to people’s faces. C. It brings people headaches all the time. D. It gives personal information to the bad. 34. Which sentence can be the right one in the ____▲____? A. Our eyes can do something useless B. Huang pointed out one big weakness C. Sunglasses are good for the software D. We can’t wear both masks and sunglasses 35. What’s the structure for the text? A. ①//②③④//⑤⑥ B. ①②//③④//⑤⑥ C. ①//②③//④⑤//⑥ D. ①②//③④⑤//⑥ 【答案】31. C 32. C 33. A 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了疫情期间，面部识别系统的创新，能够通过眼睛来识别不同的人。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Many people use this technology to unlock their phones, open doors, or make quick payments.”可知，许多人使用这项技术来解锁手机、开门或快速付款。故选C。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“the shape of your face”和后句“your iris, which is the colored part of your eyes”可知，是指这款产品可以扫描你的脸型和虹膜，故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“it can’t work when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. ‘In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,’ ”可知，疫情期间人们带口罩和太阳镜，在这种情况下，所有关键的面部信息都会丢失，它就不起作用了。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“it can’t work when people wear both a mask and sunglasses”可知，这是一个疫情期间无法避免的问题，选项B“黄指出了一个很大的弱点”符合，故选B。 【35题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第一段引入了面部识别摄像头无处不在；第二段到第四段介绍了科学家们正试图解决疫情期间戴口罩导致面部识别行不通的问题；第五段和第六段介绍了新的产品的应用以及不适合的情况。所以A选项符合，故选A。 以下是一则短文，请阅读短文，并从下列的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。 The human brain is very complex (复杂的) and powerful. ____36____ Here are three simple things that will help you improve your memory and keep it going strong into your old age.

That is to say we must save every minute now. ”可知，我不得不说，未来就是现在，那也就是说，我们现在必须抓紧每一分钟，其含义就是我们必须珍惜当下的每一分钟。故填It means that we must save every minute now. 【53题详解】 根据句意可知，本句是 if 引导条件状语从句，if“如果”；we“我们”；want to do sth.“想要做某事”；a wonderful future“美好的未来”；should“应该”；understand the importance of…“懂得……的重要性”；make good use of“好好利用”；条件状语从句用一般现在时。故填If we want to have a wonderful future, we should understand the importance of time and make good use of it. 【54题详解】 time“时间”；something“一些东西”；that此处作关系词，引导定语从句修饰“something”；we can’t see or touch“我们看不见也摸不着”；but“但是”；we can feel“我们能够感觉”；it“它”；pass by“流逝，经过”。故填：时间是我们看不见也摸不着的东西，但我们能感觉到它的流逝。 【55题详解】 开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为：We can make a plan for our daily activities and arrange our time reasonably；Finish our tasks as soon as possible and don’t waste time on useless things。 阅读短文, 完成问题。 There were three good officials (官员) who lived during the Spring and Autumn Period (770—476 BC). Zichan was the prime minister (宰相) of the State of Zheng. He made many changes to help the state become stronger. While doing this, he listened to the ideas of people. Zijian lived in the State of Lu. He was an official in Chanfu in today’s Shandong province. People saw him as a good example of non-action (无为). It seemed that he didn’t work hard, as he spent lots of time playing music. But he used people of integrity (贤人) to run the place. Ximen Bao was an official in the Wei State. He worked in Ye County in today’s Hebei province. There, people threw a girl into a river as a bride (新娘) for the so-called River God. The witch and some officials said this could help stop floods. Ximen Bao stopped them by throwing them into the river. Then he built canals (运河) along the river. This stopped the floods for real. According to the Records of the Historian (《史记》), these three men were good leaders. Zichan made it impossible for people to cheat (欺骗) him. Zijian made people not want to cheat him, while Ximen Bao made people dare not to cheat him. These three stories tell us about three things that leaders need：insight (洞察力), virtue (品德), and law. Insight means leaders know people well. Virtue means leaders do their job the right way. Law means leaders follow and use rules strictly. This is done not to punish (惩罚) people, but to earn their trust. The lesson is still important today. In 2004, when President Xi Jinping worked in Zhejiang, he shared these three stories with officials there. In fact, the lesson can also help students. You might be a class monitor or a leader in a group discussion. All of these need leadership skills. 如果你记住这些故事, 你就有可能成为一位优秀的领导者。 56.

After reading the passage, what will you do if you are the leader in a group discussion? ________________________________ 【答案】56. ①. The State of Zheng. ②. Zijian. 57.

I will know people very well, do their jobs in the right way, follow and use rules strictly. (答案不唯一) 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了春秋时期子产，子建和西门豹三个优秀官员的事迹告诉我们一个优秀的领导者需要具备洞察力，品德和法律的观念。 【56题详解】 1. ①细节理解题。根据第二段“Zichan was the prime minister (宰相) of the State of Zheng”可知，子产是郑国的丞相。故填The State of Zheng. ②细节理解题。根据第三段“Zijian lived in the State of Lu. He was an official in Chanfu in today’s Shandong province. People saw him as a good example of non-action”可知，人们把子建视为无为的典范。故填Zijian. 【57题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“The witch and some officials said this could help stop floods. Ximen Bao stopped them by throwing them into the river.”可知，巫婆和一些官员说这样做可以阻止洪水，西门豹把他们扔进河里，阻止了他们。划线词指前句提到的巫婆和一些官员。故填The witch and some officials. 【58题详解】 汉译英题。If如果，引导条件状语从句， 遵循“主将从现”原则； you你，作主语； these stories这些故事，作从句宾语；keep. . . in mind记住，作从句谓语；be likely to do sth可能做某事；become an excellent leader成为一个优秀的领导者。故填If you keep these stories in mind, you will become likely to be an excellent leader. 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“ These three stories tell us about three things that leaders need：insight (洞察力), virtue (品德), and law. Insight means leaders know people well. Virtue means leaders do their job the right way. Law means leaders follow and use rules strictly. This is done not to punish (惩罚) people, but to earn their trust.”可知，Insight (洞察力) 意味着领导者非常了解人们，因此D选项“用对的人做对的事。”与之匹配；Virtue (品德) 意味着领导者以正确的方式完成他们的工作；因此A选项“科学地解决问题。”与之匹配； Law“法律”意味着领导者严格遵守和使用规则， 因此C选项“要求人们遵守规则。”与之匹配。故填：D；A； C。 【60题详解】 开放性试题。参考答案为：I will know people very well, do their jobs in the right way, follow and use rules strictly. 书面表达 61. 在新的一年里，遇见更好的自己。请从健康、学业、人际关系、业余爱好等方面，以“How To Be a Better Me”为题写一篇短文。 要求： 1. 至少体现两个方面 2. 条理清楚，语句通顺，合理使用时态及状语从句。 3. 文中不得出现真实校名人名。 4. 字数80—100词，题目已给出，不计入总词数。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 How To Be a Better Me Everyone wants to become a better person, so do I.

In fact, the artist tried many different painting styles in his life. Picasso studied at an art school at an early age. But he was bored with learning all the old things. When he was 18 years old, the young man joined a group of artists who tried new ideas. He wanted to try new painting styles on his own. In 1901, a close friend of Picasso’s died. The artist was very sad. He started to paint death and hopelessness. This part of his life is known as his Blue Period (蓝色时期). After Picasso slowly got over his sadness, he started his Rose Period, painting in warm colors, such as pink and orange. Later, Picasso worked with the artist Georges Braque and Cubism (立体主义) came into being. In this style of art, the painters broke their subjects down into many flat (平的) shapes. They then put them back together in a “strange” way. In 1937, the famous Guernica was born. This great Cubist painting shows the town of Guernica after it was broken during World War I. The artist kept on trying new art styles all his life. Isn’t that amazing? 21. What do most people think of Picasso’s paintings? A. Blue. B. Happy. C. Strange. D. Abstract. 22. When did Picasso begin to try his own style? A. In 1901. B. In 1937. C. At the age of 18. D. At an early age. 23. Which shows the correct order of the following? ①Blue Period ②Cubism ③Rose Period A. ①②③ B. ①③② C. ③②① D. ②③① 24. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to (指代)? A. Cubism. B. The town Guernica. C. The subject. D. The painting Guernica. 25. You may see the text in the________ section of a newspaper. A. Science Today B. Sports News C. Art World D. Story Time 20. （10分） Happy Rain on a Spring Night Du Fu Good rain knows its time right; It will fall when comes spring. With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens (潮湿) each thing. O’er (遍及，到处) wild lanes (线路) dark cloud spreads; In boat a lantern looms (突然出现). Down (黎明) sees saturated (湿透的) reds; The town’s heavy with blooms (开花). This famous poem, with four couplets (对句), was written by Du Fu (712—770, Tang Dynasty) when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful to nature. The very first word, “good”, shows the poet’s happiness and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the right time to came. Here the poet uses personification (拟人), as if the rain were smart enough to come in time for the farmer’s busy season. When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known. In the third couplet, the poet describes a peaceful scene (情景) to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign (标志) that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier. Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom after the rain. 26. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following statement is not right? A. The very first word, “good”, shows the poet is happy. B. The famous poem was written in Tang Dynasty. C. The rain is good because it”knows”the right time to come. D. The scene of the flowers blooming after the rain in Chengdu isn’t the imagination of the poet. 27. What’s the Chinese title of the poem Happy Rain on a Spring Night? A. 《春望》 B. 《春夜喜雨》 C. 《夜雨寄北》 D. 《临安春雨初霁》 28 Which of the following statements also uses personification? A. In boat a lantern looms. B. With wind it steals in night. C. It will fall when comes spring. D. The town’s heavy with blooms. 29. According to Paragraph 2, the rain in this poem may be ________. A. busy B. dark C. quiet D. quick 30. What does Du Fu want to show in this poem? A. He’s thankful to nature. B. He loves and enjoys farming. C. He expects the flowers to bloom. D. He would like to always live in Chengdu. ① Facial-recognition (面部识别) cameras are everywhere—even in your smart phone. Many people use this technology to unlock their phones, open doors, or make quick payments. But there is a problem during the epidemic (疫情): everyone wears masks. What a headache! ② Scientists are trying to solve this problem. For example, Engineering and Technology (E&T) magazine reports that Hanwang, a tech company in Beijing, has made a new system. It can recognize 95% of people when they wear masks. ③ What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes. Marios Savvides from Camegie Mellon University studies facial-recognition. As we get older, he says, our faces change shape. But the area around our eyes doesn’t. It stays the same—even if we put on weight. As long as there are enough data from the area of our eyes, the cameras can recognize us. ④ Tech 5 is another facial-recognition company. The Swiss company’s products scan the shape of your face. They also scan your iris, which is the colored part of your eyes. Then they get the image(图像) of your upper face. Tech 5 hopes to ignore (忽略) all of the face below the nose. ⑤ This kind of software is more important than just unlocking your phone. “It can discover criminals, even when they wear masks,” said Huang Lei from Hanwang. Hanwang’s technology is used by Chinese police in places like subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force. ⑥ ____▲____: it can’t work when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Lei said to E&T. 31. Now, what can people use facial-recognition technology for? A. Taking photos. B. Shutting doors. C. Paying for things. D. Locking smart phones. 32. What is the meaning of the underlined word scan in paragraph 4? A 看待 B. 检验 C. 扫描 D. 调试 33. What is the problem with Facial-recognition cameras during the epidemic? A. It doesn’t work when people wear masks. B. It causes trouble to people’s faces. C. It brings people headaches all the time. D. It gives personal information to the bad. 34. Which sentence can be the right one in the ____▲____? A. Our eyes can do something useless B. Huang pointed out one big weakness C. Sunglasses are good for the software D. We can’t wear both masks and sunglasses 35. What’s the structure for the text? A. ①//②③④//⑤⑥ B. ①②//③④//⑤⑥ C. ①//②③//④⑤//⑥ D. ①②//③④⑤//⑥ 以下是一则短文，请阅读短文，并从下列的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。 The human brain is very complex (复杂的) and powerful. ____36____ Here are three simple things that will help you improve your memory and keep it going strong into your old age.
