They were initially known as archives, as they also maintained a record of unpublished books. Some of the famous libraries are listed below: Russian State Library—44. 4 million items The Russian State Library houses 17 million books as well as 13 million journals, 150, 000 maps, and thousands of musical records and scores.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。介绍了几个世界著名的图书馆信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Library and Archives, Canada—54 million items部分的“The current collection includes nearly 20 million books, 24 million photographs, private and government archives, aboriginal magazines, non-fiction and fiction films, Canadian periodicals, and more.(目前的馆藏包括近2000万本书，2400万张照片，私人和政府档案，澳洲土著杂志，非小说和小说电影，加拿大期刊等。)”可知，在Library and Archives, Canada你可以查找到的是Aboriginal magazines。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据New York Public Library—55 million items部分的“Today, the New York Public Library has 4 research libraries, branch libraries in Bronx, State Island and Manhattan and several smaller libraries affiliated (附属的) to it.(今天，纽约公共图书馆有4个研究型图书馆，布朗克斯，州立岛和曼哈顿的分馆以及几个附属的小型图书馆。)”可知，New York Public Library还包含其他的图书馆，这是其他介绍的图书馆所没有的。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Russian State Library—44. 4 million items中的“It was founded on July lst, 1862.(它成立于1862年7月l日。)”，Library and Archives, Canada—54 million items中的“The Library and Archives of Canada was formed in 2004…(加拿大图书馆和档案馆成立于2004年……)”，New York Public Library—55 million items中的“It was established in 1895. (它成立于1895年。)”以及British Library—150 million items中的“The library was established by the British Library Act in 1972…(该图书馆于1972年根据《大英图书馆法》建立……)”可知，Russian State Library是建造最早的，历史最悠久。故选A项。 B Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity. Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents. But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised (临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out. He still went on to win two gold medals—winning each event he competed in except for one, the javelin (标枪). The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials. At the time, he didn’t know that he could throw it with a running start. He threw it standing still and was placed second. At the Olympics，he also took part in the decathlon (十项全能运动). He finished first in two events, third in four events, and fourth in two more. Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world. He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going. I think Paul Dughi said it best, “It’s hard to imagine now that pro athletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes. For Jim Thorpe, it didn’t matter what kind he wore.” 4. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A. The adversity Thorpe met with led to his success. B Thorpe’s success was no guarantee of a better life. C. Thorpe’s career brought him both gains and losses. D. Thorpe suffered many hardships despite his success. 5. Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot? A. To prevent the foot from injury. B. To make the shoe fit the foot. C. To stop the shoe from being stolen. D. To show his problem-solving skills. 6. What most likely led to Thorpe’s failure to win the javelin? A. Loss of his own sports shoes. B. A casual attitude towards the event. C. Lack of experience in the event. D. A shortage of talent for the event. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Jim Thorpe? A. Loyal and enthusiastic. B. Genuine and creative. C. Tough and strong-minded. D. Selfless and good-tempered. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了运动员Jim Thorpe的个人经历以及成就。 【4题详解】 句意猜测题。根据划线词上文“Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime, yet”第二段“Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.(索普是来自俄克拉荷马州的美国印第安人，他在年轻时通过艰苦的劳动培养了非凡的运动技能。也是在他年轻的时候，他学会了忍受种族偏见带来的苦难。很多人会说他的童年并不容易。他在贫困中长大，9岁时他的双胞胎兄弟去世了，几年后他失去了双亲)”可知，第一段提到吉姆·索普是有史以来最伟大的运动员之一。他有惊人的运动能力，一生都很出名，but表示转折，结合第二段叙述了索普所经历的苦难，说明尽管他取得了成功，但是也遭受了许多苦难。故划线句意思是“索普尽管取得了成功，但却遭受了许多苦难”。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Thorpe improvised (临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.(索普临时从垃圾堆里找鞋子。这双鞋有两种不同的尺码。他在一只脚上多穿了一双袜子，以使脚均衡)”可知，索普一只脚上穿的袜子更多是为了使鞋合脚。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before.(标枪是他唯一没有获胜的项目，可能是因为他以前从未参加过这个项目的比赛)”可知，缺乏经验最有可能导致索普未能赢得标枪比赛。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes.(但这并没有阻止他做自己喜欢的事情，追求自己的梦想。似乎没有什么能阻止他，即使是鞋子被偷)”以及倒数第二段“He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going.(毫无疑问，他是一股不可阻挡的统治力量，他一直在前进)”可推知，吉姆·索普坚韧且意志坚强。故选C。 C Today’s journalists face modern challenges. Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper — and its reporters — are fighting money tech, and distrust issues. Journalism students and teachers must emphasize new skills to keep their profession alive. A trustworthy press helps inform people and monitor all levels of government. That is essential to a nation. Yet this useful establishment is growing increasingly unpopular. According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs across the Country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago. And on many college campuses, the news about the news is bleak too. Take the Syracuse, New York, student-run newspaper The Daily Orange: It isn’t daily anymore. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamondback of the University of Maryland will be online only. Half the newspapers that still exist on paper say they don’t print as many copies. And UNC’s The Daily Tar Heel has cut staff pay and rented cheaper offices to make is budget. Considering the problems in journalism, it’s surprising that the enrollment (注册人数) in college journalism programs is up. The Daily Orange managing editor Catherine Leffert calls the layoffs and cutbacks disheartening. “But what keeps me wanting to be a journalist is seeing the effect that The Daily Orange has,” he says. But journalism educators wonder, “Are we preparing young people for a dying industry?” Years ago, journalism graduates took low-level reporter jobs at newspapers or television stations. That sill happens. But today’s jobs more often involve digital editing, social media production, and video streaming. Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics-driven data journalism. The news isn’t all bad. Journalism professor Kathleen Culver says, “When I look at 18-and 20-year-olds in journalism and see what they want to do, I’m optimistic.” Maddy Arrowood is the student editor of The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. Her optimism “comes from knowing that people still need news. They still need information.” 8. What does the underlined word “bleak” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Useless. B. Interesting. C. Hopeless. D. Encouraging. 9. How do some universities respond to today’s journalism? A. They reduce student enrollment. B. They offer students specialized programs. C. They prepare students for low-level reporter jobs. D. They encourage students to run their own newspaper. 10. Why is Maddy Arrowood mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To prove the potential of a career in journalism. B. To show people’s positive attitudes to journalists. C. To show the popularity of The Daily Tar Heel. D. To prove people’s thirst for the latest news. 11. What might be the best title for the text? A. Does journalism have a future? B. Are journalists still influential today? C. What is journalism? D. What does a journalist do? 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新闻业未来的发展与挑战。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据所猜词前一句“According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs across the Country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago.(根据北卡罗来纳大学(UNC)的数据，全国的新闻编辑部工作比10年前少了一半)”可知，全国新闻编辑部的工作和以前相比大幅减少。由此推知，这一消息是令人沮丧的、没有希望的（hopeless）。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media program.(一些大学正在采取行动。佛罗里达大学提供体育媒体课程)”可知，许多大学通过开设媒体专业课程来回应这则新闻。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. Her optimism comes from knowing that people still need news. They still need information.(她说她的经历让她对新闻事业更感兴趣，而不是更不感兴趣，她的乐观来自于人们仍然需要新闻，他们仍然需要信息)”可知，Maddy Arrowood认为人们对于新闻依然存在需求，所以新闻媒体依然存在市场。由此推知，提到Maddy Arrowood是为了说明“新闻事业的发展具有巨大的潜力”。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Today’s journalists face modern challenges. Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper — and its reporters — are fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. Journalism students and teachers must emphasize new skills to keep their profession alive.(今天的记者面临着现代化的挑战。网络媒体平台如雨后春笋般涌现。而那些地位低下的报纸——和它的记者们——正在与金钱、科技和不信任问题作斗争。新闻专业的学生和教师必须强调新的技能，以保持他们的职业生命力)”可知，整篇文章讲述了新闻业面临着的巨大挑战，新闻业到底能不能生存以及怎样生存这个问题。所以A项“新闻业还有未来吗？”符合题意，适合做标题。故选A项。 D As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, healthcare workers continue to risk their lives to treat patients. Under the current system, diagnosing, monitoring, and managing COVID-19 are contributing to its spread through contact. In an effort to improve this situation, data analytics company SDG Group has announced a new smartphone application called Docdot to help doctors collect relevant clinical data through telemonitoring. Docdot uses facial recognition technology on smartphone cameras to detect a patient’s vita signs and process them using artificial intelligence. This recognition and processing technology (photoplethysmography) was developed by Binah. ai. It enables smartphone cameras to use the light reflected by blood vessels (血管) under the skin to detect and record changes in the volume of blood flowing in blood vessels under the skin, and that occur due to variations in respiration (呼 吸), blood pressure, etc. The app converts this into measurements reportedly 90 percent as accurate as hospital-grade monitors. Docdot enables people to look into their smartphone’s screen and share early indicators of infection .It gives health workers the information they need to triage (分诊) patients at a safe distance, preventing unnecessary visits to hospitals and reducing the risk of exposure among health workers and patients. This maximizes the availability of healthcare resources for those who need them most, and contributes to slowing the spread of the virus. “Use of this technology for virus monitoring and detection is new,” says Heather Beardmore, SDG Group UK chief executive. “This healthcare innovation is the first remote-monitoring and triage tool with potential to transform diagnosis and management.” It is also recognized by World Health Organization (WHO) and Forbes as being one of the most innovative digital health solutions worldwide. Docdot has undergone clinical trials in Canada India and Japan, and is now used in the USA hospitals. 12. What is the function of Docdot? A. To manage COVID-19 effectively. B. To detect COVID-19 patients accurately. C. To monitor COVID-19 patients remotely. D. To treat COVID-19 patients successfully. 13. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. How Docdot works. B. How to use Docdot. C. Where to use Docdot. D. What advantages Docdot has. 14. What is Heather Beardmore’s attitude to the app? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Skeptical. D. Indifferent. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Effective Measures Against COVID-19 B. Global Cooperation Against COVID-19 C. Doctors — Heroes who Fight COVID-19 D. Docdot — A Mobile App that Helps Doctor 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款名为Docdot的新智能手机应用程序，可以帮助医生远程监测COVID-19患者。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Under the current system, diagnosing, monitoring, and managing COVID-19 are contributing to its spread through contact. In an effort to improve this situation, data analytics company SDG Group has announced a new smartphone application called Docdot to help doctors collect relevant clinical data through telemonitoring.(在当前体系下，COVID-19的诊断、监测和管理助长了其通过接触传播。为了改善这种情况，数据分析公司SDG Group宣布了一款名为Docdot的新智能手机应用程序，通过远程监控帮助医生收集相关临床数据)”可知，Docdot可以帮助医生远程监测COVID-19患者。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Docdot uses facial recognition technology on smartphone cameras to detect a patient’s vita signs and process them using artificial intelligence. This recognition and processing technology (photoplethysmography) was developed by Binah. ai. It enables smartphone cameras to use the light reflected by blood vessels (血管) under the skin to detect and record changes in the volume of blood flowing in blood vessels under the skin, and that occur due to variations in respiration (呼 吸), blood pressure, etc. The app converts this into measurements reportedly 90 percent as accurate as hospital-grade monitors.(Docdot在智能手机摄像头上使用面部识别技术来检测患者的生命体征，并使用人工智能对其进行处理。这种识别和处理技术(光容量描记术)是由Binah. ai开发的。智能手机摄像头可以利用皮下血管反射的光线，探测并记录由于呼吸、血压等变化而发生的皮下血管血流量的变化。据报道，该应用程序将这些数据转换成的测量结果的准确度为医院级监测器的90%)”可知，本段主要讲述了Docdot的工作原理，故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Use of this technology for virus monitoring and detection is new,” says Heather Beardmore, SDG Group UK chief executive. “This healthcare innovation is the first remote-monitoring and triage tool with potential to transform diagnosis and management.”(“将这种技术用于病毒监测和检测是一种新技术，”可持续发展集团英国首席执行官希瑟•比尔德莫尔表示。“这一医疗创新是第一个远程监控和分类工具，有可能改变诊断和管理。”)”可推断出，Heather Beardmore对这款应用的态度是支持的。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, healthcare workers continue to risk their lives to treat patients. Under the current system, diagnosing, monitoring, and managing COVID-19 are contributing to its spread through contact. In an effort to improve this situation, data analytics company SDG Group has announced a new smartphone application called Docdot to help doctors collect relevant clinical data through telemonitoring.(随着COVID-19大流行的持续，医护人员继续冒着生命危险治疗患者。在当前体系下，COVID-19的诊断、监测和管理助长了其通过接触传播。为了改善这种情况，数据分析公司SDG Group宣布了一款名为Docdot的新智能手机应用程序，通过远程监控帮助医生收集相关临床数据)”可知，本文主要介绍了一款名为Docdot的新智能手机应用程序，可以帮助医生远程监测COVID-19患者。故选D。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are many friends that will come into your life-some will gradually lose touch, some will be getting closer, and some you will actively choose not to be friends with.____16____But your old friends seem to stick around, and no matter how near or far they are, they continue to be a part of your life.

Now, new research supports the long-standing theory, ____43____ explains that it’s a case of “mistaken identity” when great whites go in for a bite. A team of biologists ____44____ (compare) videos of seals swimming with those of humans swimming. They then edited the clips to simulate a great white’s vision and found that from the ocean inhabitant’s point ____45____ view, humans do indeed have a strong resemblance to seals. “Usually, great white sharks ____46____ (regard) as ‘mindless killers’ and ‘fond of human flesh’. However, this does not seem to be the case; we just look like ____47____ (they) food,” Laura Ryan, lead author of the study, told Live Science. “They eat seals every day and bites on people are ____48____ (extreme) rare,” said Catherine MacDonald. a marine scientist at the University of Miami. “So if they’re not solving the problem visually, then how do we think they’re solving it? ____49____ (hit) the right targets, sharks could be relying on other senses, like the scent.

To hit 50. additional 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是研究发现鲨鱼吃人是因为它们把人误以为是海豹。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：一个人被鲨鱼杀死的几率只有370万分之一，但这种恐惧仍然足以让游泳者担心被视为猎物。shark是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，shark是辅音音素开头，故填a。 【42题详解】 考查动名词。句意：一个人被鲨鱼杀死的几率只有370万分之一，但这种恐惧仍然足以让游泳者担心被视为猎物。about是介词，其后跟动名词作宾语，故填being。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：现在，新的研究支持了这个由来已久的理论，该理论解释说，大白鲨咬人是“认错人”的结果。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词theory是物，空格处用关系代词which，故填which。 【44题详解】 考查时态。句意：一组生物学家比较了海豹和人类游泳的视频。空格处是谓语，句子描述过去的事情，时态是一般过去时，空格处用过去式，故填compared。 【45题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：然后，他们对这些片段进行编辑，模拟大白鲨的视觉，发现从海洋生物的角度来看，人类确实与海豹非常相似。point of view是固定短语，意为“观点，角度”，故填of。 【46题详解】 考查时态语态。句意：通常，大白鲨被视为‘愚蠢的杀手’和‘喜欢人肉’。根据语境可知，此处表示“大白鲨被视为‘愚蠢的杀手’和‘喜欢人肉’”，句子用被动语态，句子描述的是客观事实，时态用一般现在时，因此空格处是一般现在时的被动语态，主语sharks是复数，故填are regarded。 【47题详解】 考查物主代词。句意：我们只是看起来像它们的食物。根据语境可知，句子表示“我们只是看起来像他们的食物”，空格处意为“它们的”，用形容词性物主代词their修饰名词food，故填their。 【48题详解】 考查副词。句意：它们每天吃海豹，咬人的情况极为罕见。空格处用副词extremely修饰形容词rare，故填extremely。 【49题详解】 考查不定式。句意：为了击中正确的目标，鲨鱼可以依靠其他感官，比如气味。根据语境可知，空格处用不定式表目的，位于句首的单词首字母要大写，故填To hit。 【50题详解】 考查形容词。句意：如果是这样的话，关于大白鲨如何使用这些感官的进一步研究可能有助于防止进一步的攻击。空格处用形容词additional作定语，修饰名词studies，additional意为“额外的”，故填additional。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节 短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 51. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌中间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处，每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：把缺词处加个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除： 把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词; 2.只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。 Dear cousin, Long time no see! It has been almost a year ever since you move to London. I miss you a lot. I’m writing the letter to ask you for help. As you know, I am eager to be a photographer like you, so I asked my parents to buy me the camera last week. But he told me I wouldn’t concentrate on my schoolwork if I got one. Oh, my God! What can I make them trust me? I’m not a kid any longer, but I can control myself. What’s worse, I have promised that I will take photo for the school’s newspaper in next month. When asking by my classmates, I will be absolutely embarrassed. Therefore, would you like to lend me some money? If you’d like, I will return it as soon as possibly. Yours Sincerely 【答案】1.move→moved 2.the→a 3.he→they 4.What→How 5.but→and 6.photo→photos 7.去掉in 8.asking→asked 9.在if you’d like后加to 10.possibly→possible 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。信中主要是请求表兄借给作者一些钱，用于购买照相机，以实现他做摄影家的理想。 【详解】1.考查时态。句意：自从你搬到伦敦已经快一年了。since引导的时间状语从句要用一般过去时态，主句要用现在完成时态，move要用过去式。故将move改为moved。 2.考查冠词。句意：正如你所知道的，我渴望成为一名像你一样的摄影师，所以我上周让我父母给我买了一台相机。此处camera表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，camera是辅音音素开头，不定冠词用a，故将the改为a。 3.考查代词。句意：但是他们告诉我如果有了相机，我就不能专心学习了。代指上一句提到的“my parents”，应该用they，而不是he。故将he改为they。 4.考查特殊疑问词。句意：我怎样才能让他们相信我？what意为“什么”，how意为“怎样”，结合句意，此处表示“我怎样才能让他们相信我”，故将What改为How。 5.考查连词。句意：我不是个孩子了，而且我能控制自己。根据语境可知，前后两句话之间是递进关系，不是转折关系，应用and连接两句话，故将but改为and。 6.考查名词的复数。句意：更糟糕的是，我已经答应下个月为校报拍摄照片。photo是可数名词，拍的照片肯定不止一张，因此要用复数，故将photo改为photos。 7.考查介词。句意：更糟糕的是，我已经答应下个月为校报拍摄照片。next month意为“下个月”，前面不加介词，故去掉in。 8.考查时态，语态，主谓一致和省略。句意：当我的同学问我的时候，我会非常尴尬。由by可知，句子用被动语态，句子遵循主将从现的原则，when引导的时间状语从句应为“When I am asked by my classmates”，状语从句中主语和主句主语一致，且从句中有be动词时，可省略从句中的主语和be动词，因此省略为“When asked by my classmates”，故将asking改为asked。 9.考查不定式。句意：如果您愿意，我可以尽快还给您。you’d是you would的缩写，would like to do是固定短语，意为“愿意做某事”，此处本来是If you’d like to lend me some money，为了避免重复，省略lend me some money，故在if you’d like后加to。 10.考查形容词。句意：如果您愿意，我可以尽快还给您。as…as possible意为“尽可能……”，是固定短语。故将possibly改为possible。 第二节 书面表达(满分25分) 52. 假定你是李华，由于疫情(epidemic)，你的美国朋友Tom正在上网课，他在邮件中向你询问如何提高上网课的效率。请你用英语给他写封回信，就如何提高网课效率提些建议。 注意：1. 词数100左右；2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One Possible Version Dear Tom, Knowing that you need to take online courses because of the pandemic, I’m writing to offer some useful suggestions on how to improve your study efficiency.

He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity. Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents. But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised (临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out. He still went on to win two gold medals—winning each event he competed in except for one, the javelin (标枪). The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials. At the time, he didn’t know that he could throw it with a running start. He threw it standing still and was placed second. At the Olympics，he also took part in the decathlon (十项全能运动). He finished first in two events, third in four events, and fourth in two more. Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world. He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going. I think Paul Dughi said it best, “It’s hard to imagine now that pro athletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes. For Jim Thorpe, it didn’t matter what kind he wore.” 4. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A. The adversity Thorpe met with led to his success. B. Thorpe’s success was no guarantee of a better life. C Thorpe’s career brought him both gains and losses. D. Thorpe suffered many hardships despite his success. 5. Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot? A. To prevent the foot from injury. B. To make the shoe fit the foot. C. To stop the shoe from being stolen. D. To show his problem-solving skills. 6. What most likely led to Thorpe’s failure to win the javelin? A. Loss of his own sports shoes. B. A casual attitude towards the event. C. Lack of experience in the event. D. A shortage of talent for the event. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Jim Thorpe? A. Loyal and enthusiastic. B. Genuine and creative. C. Tough and strong-minded. D. Selfless and good-tempered. C Today’s journalists face modern challenges. Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper — and its reporters — are fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. Journalism students and teachers must emphasize new skills to keep their profession alive. A trustworthy press helps inform people and monitor all levels of government. That is essential to a nation. Yet this useful establishment is growing increasingly unpopular. According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs across the Country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago. And on many college campuses, the news about the news is bleak too. Take the Syracuse, New York, student-run newspaper The Daily Orange: It isn’t daily anymore. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamondback of the University of Maryland will be online only. Half the newspapers that still exist on paper say they don’t print as many copies. And UNC’s The Daily Tar Heel has cut staff pay and rented cheaper offices to make is budget. Considering the problems in journalism, it’s surprising that the enrollment (注册人数) in college journalism programs is up. The Daily Orange managing editor Catherine Leffert calls the layoffs and cutbacks disheartening. “But what keeps me wanting to be a journalist is seeing the effect that The Daily Orange has,” he says. But journalism educators wonder, “Are we preparing young people for a dying industry?” Years ago, journalism graduates took low-level reporter jobs at newspapers or television stations. That sill happens. But today’s jobs more often involve digital editing, social media production, and video streaming. Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics-driven data journalism. The news isn’t all bad.

Under the current system, diagnosing, monitoring, and managing COVID-19 are contributing to its spread through contact. In an effort to improve this situation, data analytics company SDG Group has announced a new smartphone application called Docdot to help doctors collect relevant clinical data through telemonitoring. Docdot uses facial recognition technology on smartphone cameras to detect a patient’s vita signs and process them using artificial intelligence. This recognition and processing technology (photoplethysmography) was developed by Binah. ai. It enables smartphone cameras to use the light reflected by blood vessels (血管) under the skin to detect and record changes in the volume of blood flowing in blood vessels under the skin, and that occur due to variations in respiration (呼 吸), blood pressure, etc. The app converts this into measurements reportedly 90 percent as accurate as hospital-grade monitors. Docdot enables people to look into their smartphone’s screen and share early indicators of infection .It gives health workers the information they need to triage (分诊) patients at a safe distance, preventing unnecessary visits to hospitals and reducing the risk of exposure among health workers and patients. This maximizes the availability of healthcare resources for those who need them most, and contributes to slowing the spread of the virus. “Use of this technology for virus monitoring and detection is new,” says Heather Beardmore, SDG Group UK chief executive. “This healthcare innovation is the first remote-monitoring and triage tool with potential to transform diagnosis and management.” It is also recognized by World Health Organization (WHO) and Forbes as being one of the most innovative digital health solutions worldwide. Docdot has undergone clinical trials in Canada India and Japan, and is now used in the USA hospitals. 12. What is the function of Docdot? A. To manage COVID-19 effectively. B. To detect COVID-19 patients accurately. C. To monitor COVID-19 patients remotely. D. To treat COVID-19 patients successfully. 13. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. How Docdot works. B. How to use Docdot. C. Where to use Docdot. D. What advantages Docdot has. 14. What is Heather Beardmore’s attitude to the app? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Skeptical. D. Indifferent. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Effective Measures Against COVID-19 B. Global Cooperation Against COVID-19 C. Doctors — Heroes who Fight COVID-19 D. Docdot — A Mobile App that Helps Doctor 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are many friends that will come into your life-some will gradually lose touch, some will be getting closer, and some you will actively choose not to be friends with.____16____But your old friends seem to stick around, and no matter how near or far they are, they continue to be a part of your life.
