“Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?”
These are the words of the famous Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. Like Tolstoy, many people ask these difficult questions. And they struggle to find meaning in their life. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer difficult questions like these. His search for answers influenced his writing.
On August 28th, 1828, Leo Tolstoy was born in the country of Russia.
As a child, Tolstoy was a member of the Russian Catholic Church. But as a young man, he began to question that faith. Tolstoy wanted to make his own moral decisions; he was tired of being told what to believe. He thought people could achieve a degree of perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard at being the best in everything he did. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success.
In the 1850s, Leo Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his experiences in the army. He also told stories about when he was a child. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.
Tolstoy was finally successful. He earned the respect he always wanted. Many wealthy and intelligent men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of the men were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith.
So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find meaning. He opened a school for the children of his serfs — the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the wealthy people he knew.
Tolstoy learned many things from his workers. He respected how they worked hard to provide for their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.
The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books -War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many literature experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written.
Both War and Peace and Anna Karenina communicate Tolstoy’s beliefs about the Russian nation, church and people. They also communicate what he thought was the answer to all his questions. Tolstoy believed humans were supposed to live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness.
Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many people. Tolstoy’s search for the meaning of life is something everyone can understand. His teachings still interest people all over the world.

It is an honor for me to deliver this speech and on behalf of the graduating students, welcome you to this special ceremony 2020.
This is a unique moment. We are stepping up to another phase of our lives at a time of great hardship and global difficulties. Hope this ceremony will help erase sad memories, refresh beautiful ones and add more splendid memories into our lives.
I was born in the middle of war, which caused my family to move to Serbia for three years. When the war ended, we returned to Bosnia. My mother, who is and will ever be my heroine, was the only figure who guided me, provided for me and kept me on the right track, in the hope for a better life. I owed her so much as she is responsible for huge part of my success. I will always remember her teachings “to complain less and always find solutions at the price of whatever it takes” , which brought me to China, an ancient land of new hopes.
During the COVID-19 outbreak, I got the best opportunity to understand China. I saw millions of people united with one goal-to win the battle against this epidemic. I have never seen such a collective dedication from a nation, turning things for the better by sacrificing personal convenience on a grand scale. China's governance and health care system proves to be one of the most efficient in the world. With a population of 1.4 billion, China not only has successfully controlled the transmission of the corona-virus but also assisted many other countries across the globe.
Everyone has a role to play in the battle against the virus. In Tsinghua, I played a tiny but necessary role: Staying on campus, studying online, cooperating during temperature checks and respecting social distancing measures. The rules set by the university and Chinese government had everyone's health and safety as first priority. This made me feel safe and confident that China was on the right track towards victory. Throughout this time, despite the immense challenges, Tsinghua has facilitated many online conferences, which helped me nurture more skills in my field of study.
Friends, we are now graduating from one of the world’s most prestigious universities. Tsinghua has been like a mother to us over the past months and years, guiding and nurturing us along the way, providing us with great vision and placing on us high expectations. So what comes next? Actions speak louder than words. Let us accept new challenges, think beyond our limits and keep in mind the ethics of life.
Let's undertake everything we can for the sake of unity, humanity and the international community. Let's work together for a more promising future and prosperous world.
5. In the author's eyes, the special ceremony 2020 should
A. be a unique moment to mourn the sacrificed
B. be a time to wave a heartfelt goodbye to adversities
C. be a moment to open a new chapter of life
D. be a glorious time to embrace a beautiful past

B. The author witnessed how the original virus spread swiftly
C. The author was requested to supply medical aid to the fight against COVID-19
D. Owing to dozens of timely measures,China had a ideal control of the virus

C. The harsh circumstance in China.
D. The great transformation of the school.
C
I remember my first true introduction to art fondly. It was my second year of university and I was a confused 19-year-old at the time, unsure of what academic path I wanted to pursue. I knew that I had always been fascinated by things that made me question the world around me, and my art history class was the first time I really got to get my feet wet.
My professor, a post-graduate with natty (齐整的) hair, entertained us with her stories of travel and revealed the arts of the world to us, something that had not been touched on since my primary school years. The grand story of time was told in broken Greek sculptures, figures whose amazingly detailed limestone carvings were often missing arms and heads to the brittle ravages (无情的破坏) of time. We explored the patterns of the Medieval era and the early Renaissance religious symbolism of Michelangelo and Botticelli. We analyzed the mustard (芥末黄) and chiaroscuro (明暗对比) glare of the Baroque paintings of Caravaggio and El Greco, and we were amazed by the sandcastle-naturalism of the Spanish architect Gaudi. The history of art has fascinated me ever since.
I never had a talent for art myself, but I always did have a well-grounded appreciation for those who did . In primary school, we explored art through music and painting classes; but once we entered secondary school, art was an elective course and quickly limited to the dustbins of my memory. It was only after that humble art history class that I realized what I had been missing.
I strongly believe that a well-rounded society needs everyone to have an early education in the arts. A healthy society needs all its members to open their eyes — and their minds — so that they can learn what is true and beautiful, just as the famous Greek philosopher Plato said, “The reflection of beauty causes the soul to grow wings”.
8. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase in the first paragraph?
A. The author got lost in the art history class due to the confusion.
B. The author was starting to figure out the exact academic path.
C. The author was starting to learn to appreciate art.
D. The author wet his feet because of carelessness.
9. Why did the author mention the professor?
A. To show his love for Greek sculptures.
B. To show the beginning of his love for art.
C. To tell readers the professor’s love for grand stories.
D. To tell readers what the Renaissance religious symbolism is.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards art education?
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Opposed. D. Doubtful.
11. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To advocate the popularity of art history.
B. To propose a change in the education of art history.
C. To urge people to explore more art classes in an early age.
D. To arouse people’s awareness of the importance of early art education.
D
Last summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.
The cottages could be an example of the industry’s unusual love for “low technology”, a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship(手艺)that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by band in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example. Other companies are using a broader interpretation(阐释)of low technology that focuses on nature.
Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Google’s office, an entire is carpeted in glass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking path.
Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “Our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished, because they’re surrounded by the digital world,” he says. “We’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to regain their individual identity.”
This craft-based theory is rooted in history. William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life.” Morris said.
Research has shown that natural environments can restore our mental abilities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe”, taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.
These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office - even simple views of trees and flowers - felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially benefit the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.
12. The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that _________
A. Twitter is having a hard time
B. Old cottages are in need of protection
C. Early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in Montana
D. Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology
13. Low technology is regarded as something that __________
A. is related to nature B. is out of date today
C. cosumes too much energy D. exists in the virtual world
14. The writer’s attitude to “low technology” can best be described as __________
A. Critical B. positive
C. worried D. doubtful
15. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Past Glories, Future Dreams
B. The Virtual World, the Real Challenge
C. High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices
D. The More Craftsmanship, the Less Creativity

“Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?”
These are the words of the famous Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. Like Tolstoy, many people ask these difficult questions. And they struggle to find meaning in their life. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer difficult questions like these. His search for answers influenced his writing.
On August 28th, 1828, Leo Tolstoy was born in the country of Russia.
As a child, Tolstoy was a member of the Russian Catholic Church. But as a young man, he began to question that faith. Tolstoy wanted to make his own moral decisions; he was tired of being told what to believe. He thought people could achieve a degree of perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard at being the best in everything he did. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success.
In the 1850s, Leo Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his experiences in the army. He also told stories about when he was a child. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.
Tolstoy was finally successful. He earned the respect he always wanted. Many wealthy and intelligent men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of the men were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith.
So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find meaning. He opened a school for the children of his serfs — the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the wealthy people he knew.
Tolstoy learned many things from his workers. He respected how they worked hard to provide for their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862 Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.
The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books -War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many literature experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written.
Both War and Peace and Anna Karenina communicate Tolstoy’s beliefs about the Russian nation, church and people. They also communicate what he thought was the answer to all his questions. Tolstoy believed humans were supposed to live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness.
Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many people. Tolstoy’s search for the meaning of life is something everyone can understand. His teachings still interest people all over the world.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇人物传记。文章介绍了伟大的俄国作家托尔斯泰的生平,他一生都在寻找生命的意义。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In the 1850s, Leo Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his experiences in the army”可知,他在19世纪50年代写的书中提到了在部队的经历,也就是说他在19世纪50年代以前在部队服役过;根据第四段中的“These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.”可知,在19世纪50年代写的书出版以后,他成了一位众所周知的作家;根据第六段中的“So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find meaning. He opened a school for the children of his serfs -the people who worked on his land.”可知,19世纪60年代,他为农奴的孩子开办了一所学校;根据第七段中的“So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs”可知,1862年,他与Sonya Behrs结婚了;根据第八段中的“The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books -War and Peace and Anna Karenina.”可知,婚后的15年里,他写了《战争与和平》和《安娜卡列尼娜》,故C项正确。
【2题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“He respected how they worked hard to”以及画线部分后的宾语their families可知,他尊重工人们为养家而如何努力工作的,由此可知画线词词义为“支持、供养”,故C项正确。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Tolstoy believed humans were supposed to live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness.”可知,托尔斯泰认为人们应该过一种简朴的、顾家的生活,他认为这会让他满足和带来幸福。由此可知,他认为家庭最重要,故B项正确。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是根据第二段中的“And they struggle to find meaning in their life. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer difficult questions like these.”可知,本文主要介绍了伟大的俄国作家托尔斯泰的生平,他一生都在寻找生命的意义,故D项正确。
【点睛】本文的主旨大意题难度较大,需要理解文章第一段的几个问句的作用,这几个问句旨在引出文章话题——第二段中的“And they struggle to find meaning in their life. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer difficult questions like these.”(托尔斯泰一生都在寻找生命的意义),由此可知本文主要讲的是托尔斯泰一生都在寻找生命的意义而不是他的写作生涯或对世界的影响。
B
It is an honor for me to deliver this speech and on behalf of the graduating students, welcome you to this special ceremony 2020.
This is a unique moment. We are stepping up to another phase of our lives at a time of great hardship and global difficulties. Hope this ceremony will help erase sad memories, refresh beautiful ones and add more splendid memories into our lives.
I was born in the middle of war, which caused my family to move to Serbia for three years. When the war ended, we returned to Bosnia. My mother, who is and will ever be my heroine, was the only figure who guided me, provided for me and kept me on the right track, in the hope for a better life. I owed her so much as she is responsible for huge part of my success. I will always remember her teachings “to complain less and always find solutions at the price of whatever it takes” , which brought me to China, an ancient land of new hopes.
During the COVID-19 outbreak, I got the best opportunity to understand China. I saw millions of people united with one goal-to win the battle against this epidemic. I have never seen such a collective dedication from a nation, turning things for the better by sacrificing personal convenience on a grand scale. China's governance and health care system proves to be one of the most efficient in the world. With a population of 1.4 billion, China not only has successfully controlled the transmission of the corona-virus but also assisted many other countries across the globe.
Everyone has a role to play in the battle against the virus. In Tsinghua, I played a tiny but necessary role: Staying on campus, studying online, cooperating during temperature checks and respecting social distancing measures. The rules set by the university and Chinese government had everyone's health and safety as first priority. This made me feel safe and confident that China was on the right track towards victory. Throughout this time, despite the immense challenges, Tsinghua has facilitated many online conferences, which helped me nurture more skills in my field of study.
Friends, we are now graduating from one of the world’s most prestigious universities. Tsinghua has been like a mother to us over the past months and years, guiding and nurturing us along the way, providing us with great vision and placing on us high expectations. So what comes next? Actions speak louder than words. Let us accept new challenges, think beyond our limits and keep in mind the ethics of life.
Let's undertake everything we can for the sake of unity, humanity and the international community. Let's work together for a more promising future and prosperous world.
5. In the author's eyes, the special ceremony 2020 should
A. be a unique moment to mourn the sacrificed
B. be a time to wave a heartfelt goodbye to adversities
C. be a moment to open a new chapter of life
D. be a glorious time to embrace a beautiful past
6. Which statement is true according to the passage?
A. The author came to China so as to escape from wars
B. The author witnessed how the original virus spread swiftly
C. The author was requested to supply medical aid to the fight against COVID-19
D. Owing to dozens of timely measures,China had a ideal control of the virus
7. What impressed the author during her stay in Tsinghua?

【5题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段句子“We are stepping up to another phase of our lives at a time of great hardship and global difficulties. Hope this ceremony will help erase sad memories, refresh beautiful ones and add more splendid memories into our lives.”(在我们面临巨大困难和全球困难的时候,我们正在步入我们生活的另一个阶段。希望这个仪式能帮助我们抹去悲伤的回忆,刷新美好的回忆,为我们的生活增添更多精彩的回忆。)可知,作者把这个特殊的仪式看作是开启人生新篇章的时刻。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段句子“ China's governance and health care system proves to be one of the most efficient in the world. With a population of 1.4 billion, China not only has successfully controlled the transmission of the corona-virus but also assisted many other countries across the globe.”(事实证明,中国的治理和医疗体系是世界上效率最高的体系之一。中国有14亿人口,不仅成功地控制了冠状病毒的传播,而且还向全球许多国家提供了援助。)根据第五段“ Everyone has a role to play in the battle against the virus. In Tsinghua, I played a tiny but necessary role: Staying on campus, studying online, cooperating during temperature checks and respecting social distancing measures.”在与病毒的斗争中,每个人都可以发挥作用。在清华,我扮演了一个很小但很必要的角色:留在校园里,在线学习,配合体温检测,尊重社交距离措施。可以推测出,中国之所以能控制冠状病毒的传播,是因为采取了及时有效的措施。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“During the COVID-19 outbreak, I got the best opportunity to understand China. I saw millions of people united with one goal-to win the battle against this epidemic. I have never seen such a collective dedication from a nation, turning things for the better by sacrificing personal convenience on a grand scale. )可知,在新冠肺炎疫情期间,我得到了了解中国的最好机会。我看到数百万人为了一个目标团结在一起,那就是战胜这场疫情。我从未见过一个国家有这样的集体奉献精神,通过牺牲个人的便利来把事情变得更好。由此判断出使作者印象深刻的是整个民族的奉献精神。故选B项。
【点睛】阅读理解题的解题方法,首先,宏观浏览,掌握大意。不要困扰在个别词汇的翻译上,偶有生词,走为上计。其次,读懂题干,带着问题再去微观细读。最后,分析句子,慎思明辨。阅读理解题之细节理解解题要注意:1.排除干扰项,突出主题。2.按文章的体裁,作者写作的组织模式及有关信息,预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。3.将注意力放在寻找你所需要的细节上,快速浏览,一目十行。发现细节,十目一行,放慢速度,仔细核对比较,直到找到正确答案。如本文第1题,找出文中提到的“我们正在步入我们生活的另一个阶段”,很容易判断正确答案。
C
I remember my first true introduction to art fondly. It was my second year of university and I was a confused 19-year-old at the time, unsure of what academic path I wanted to pursue. I knew that I had always been fascinated by things that made me question the world around me, and my art history class was the first time I really got to get my feet wet.
My professor, a post-graduate with natty (齐整的) hair, entertained us with her stories of travel and revealed the arts of the world to us, something that had not been touched on since my primary school years. The grand story of time was told in broken Greek sculptures, figures whose amazingly detailed limestone carvings were often missing arms and heads to the brittle ravages (无情的破坏) of time. We explored the patterns of the Medieval era and the early Renaissance religious symbolism of Michelangelo and Botticelli. We analyzed the mustard (芥末黄) and chiaroscuro (明暗对比) glare of the Baroque paintings of Caravaggio and El Greco, and we were amazed by the sandcastle-naturalism of the Spanish architect Gaudi. The history of art has fascinated me ever since.
I never had a talent for art myself, but I always did have a well-grounded appreciation for those who did . In primary school, we explored art through music and painting classes; but once we entered secondary school, art was an elective course and quickly limited to the dustbins of my memory. It was only after that humble art history class that I realized what I had been missing.
I strongly believe that a well-rounded society needs everyone to have an early education in the arts. A healthy society needs all its members to open their eyes — and their minds — so that they can learn what is true and beautiful, just as the famous Greek philosopher Plato said, “The reflection of beauty causes the soul to grow wings”.
8. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase in the first paragraph?
A. The author got lost in the art history class due to the confusion.
B. The author was starting to figure out the exact academic path.
C. The author was starting to learn to appreciate art.
D. The author wet his feet because of carelessness.
9. Why did the author mention the professor?
A. To show his love for Greek sculptures.
B. To show the beginning of his love for art.
C. To tell readers the professor’s love for grand stories.
D. To tell readers what the Renaissance religious symbolism is.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards art education?
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Opposed. D. Doubtful.
11. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To advocate the popularity of art history.
B. To propose a change in the education of art history.
C. To urge people to explore more art classes in an early age.
D. To arouse people’s awareness of the importance of early art education.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】

【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“I remember my first true introduction to art fondly. (我深情地记得我第一次真正接触艺术的经历。)”和“I knew that I had always been fascinated by things that made me question the world around me (我一直对那些让我对周围世界产生疑问的事物着迷。)”可知,艺术史课程正是作者第一次真正涉足这个领域的尝试。get my feet wet表示“作者开始接触并尝试新事物”,即开始学习欣赏艺术。故选C。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I strongly believe that a well-rounded society needs everyone to have an early education in the arts. A healthy society needs all its members to open their eyes — and their minds — so that they can learn what is true and beautiful (我坚信,一个全面发展的社会需要每个人都早期接受艺术教育。一个健康的社会需要其所有成员睁开眼睛——以及他们的思想——这样他们才能学习什么是真实和美丽的)”可知,作者强烈认为一个健康的社会需要所有成员都接受早期艺术教育,这表明作者对艺术教育是支持的。故选B。

D
Last summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.
The cottages could be an example of the industry’s unusual love for “low technology”, a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship(手艺)that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by band in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example. Other companies are using a broader interpretation(阐释)of low technology that focuses on nature.
Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Google’s office, an entire is carpeted in glass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking path.
Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “Our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished, because they’re surrounded by the digital world,” he says. “We’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to regain their individual identity.”
This craft-based theory is rooted in history. William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life.” Morris said.
Research has shown that natural environments can restore our mental abilities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe”, taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.
These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office - even simple views of trees and flowers - felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially benefit the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.
12. The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that _________
A. Twitter is having a hard time
B. Old cottages are in need of protection
C. Early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in Montana
D. Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology
13. Low technology is regarded as something that __________
A. is related to nature B. is out of date today
C. cosumes too much energy D. exists in the virtual world
14. The writer’s attitude to “low technology” can best be described as __________
A. Critical B. positive
C. worried D. doubtful
15. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Past Glories, Future Dreams
B. The Virtual World, the Real Challenge
C. High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices
D. The More Craftsmanship, the Less Creativity
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇说明文。这篇短文讲述的是关于现代科技公司运用“大自然对人们创造力产生作用”的理念,积极创设原生态的办公环境。这里提到的低科技指的是工业化之前的建造技术,它更贴近自然。在自然的办公环境下,职员们不会感到有压力,对他们的健康是有好处的。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段now they hold Twitter engineers.(现在,Twitter工程师在里面工作)和第二段The cottages could be an example of the industry’s unusual love for “low technology”(这些小屋可能是行业对“低技术”不寻常热爱的一个例子。)互联网公司管理人员发现了“低技术”的好处,才会喜爱这个原生态的村舍。由此推断出,作者提到这两幢19世纪的村舍是为了表明,互联网公司重新发现了低技术的好处。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。第二段中的The cottages could be an example of the industry’s unusual love for “low technology”, a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanshipthat exists long before the Internet era.(这些小屋可能是该行业对“低技术”的非常热爱的一个例子,这是一个与自然世界相关的概念,与互联网时代之前就存在的老派工艺有关。)可以判断出,“低科技”跟大自然有关,即在一个天然的环境下。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。作者引用了一项研究Research has shown that natural environments can restore our mental abilities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe”, taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.(研究表明自然环境可以恢复我们的智力。在日本,人们鼓励病人“森林浴”,在树林中散步以降低血压。)来说明自然环境对我们精神上的有利影响。所以我们可以推断出作者对于“低技术”的态度是积极的。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。这篇文章中作者告诉我们,现代的高科技公司需要有创造力,要充分的利用以前的低技术,创设更加原生态的办公环境。文中第三段与第四段举例,现代高科技的办公室运用“low technology”。且“low technology”是文章的中心词。故用C项High-tech Companies Low-tech Offices(高科技的公司,低技术的办公室)作为题目是最合适的。故选C。

【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:最近发布的一部以故宫文物及其修复者的生活为题材的中国纪录片正在成为热门,超过240万人在网上观看。此处泛指“一个热门”,hit以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a表泛指。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:最近发布的一部以故宫文物及其修复者的生活为题材的中国纪录片正在成为热门,超过240万人在网上观看。此处为“with +名词(宾语)+非谓语动词(宾补)” with复合结构,more than 2.4 million与动词watch是主谓关系,用现在分词(doing)表主动,做宾补。故填watching。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:这部名为《我在故宫修文物》的纪录片揭示了修复者的无名氏生活故事,以及古董和故宫的历史、修复过程和文化保护的发展。固定搭配together with… (和……一起),用介词with。故填with。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意:到目前为止,这部由三部分组成的纪录片在中国最大的影视评论网站豆瓣网获得了9.5/10的好评。此处缺乏谓语,由up to now可知时态用现在完成时,主语The three-part documentary是单数,谓语用单数形式。故填has received。
【40题详解】
考查最高级。句意:到目前为止,这部由三部分组成的纪录片在中国最大的影视评论网站豆瓣网获得了9.5/10的好评。one of the +形容词最高级+名词复数,意为“最……之一”,此处用形容词最高级形式。故填biggest。
41题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:与电影和电视节目相比,一部关注历史和文化的纪录片很少如此受欢迎。本句已有谓语becomes且无连词,动词focus用非谓语形式,逻辑主语a documentary与动词focus是主谓关系,用现在分词(doing)表主动,做名词短语a documentary的后置定语。故填focusing。
【42题详解】
考查主语从句连接词。句意:纪录片中更感人的是这些修复者身上的工匠精神。____7____ is more touching in the documentary是缺乏连接词的主语从句,从句缺乏主语,意为“……的东西”,用连接代词what,首字母大写。故填What。

【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:《我在故宫修文物》以一种感人而又自然的方式,巧妙地讲述了现代人和历史文物的故事。此处用副词delicately作状语,修饰动词tells。故填delicately。
