【解析】
【原文】M: You and your family are probably worrying about the cost of the college education. Earning scholarships is a great way to help you. Here is some advice. First, begin in your own backyard. Local scholarship awards are usually easier to obtain as the applicant pools are smaller and less competitive. Check with the community organizations, the local banks and the credit unions who may offer scholarship opportunities in your area. Second, find your strong points while you’re searching. Consider what makes you special as a student. Your unique characteristics can help your scholarship applications stand out, as most scholarship providers want to encourage a particular behavior. Third, develop a routine. Every scholarship is different in terms of when you can apply, what you need to submit, when the winner is announced, and how the money is given to you. Typically, scholarship applications open in the late fall or early spring for the next school year’s awards. Visit the related scholarship providers as official websites for lists of scholarship opportunities. Go through the lists to find the ones that match you best and keep track of when you can apply for them.
第二部分阅读理解(共两节, 满分 50 分)
第一节(共 15 小题, 每小题 25 分, 满分 37.5分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.
A
From the time human beings began to draw them, maps have helped people find their way around their environments. But maps can show us many things, not just which direction to go. They show the path of history, the earth’s shape development of mathematics, and the progress of technology.
One of the oldest-known land maps is an almost 1,600-year-old tablet from Southwest Asia. The map shows a circle of land that is divided by a river and surrounded by ocean. Triangles on the map indicate eight different regions. And the map’s text describes legendary beasts and heroes that were important to the ancient people of the area. Around AD 150, a Greek scientist drew north-south and east-west lines on a map. This addition applies mathematics to mapping and was an early attempt to show the earth’s shape on a flat piece of paper. Maps gradually became much more detailed as new regions were explored and put down on paper. Also, mathematical and astronomical advances helped to perfect the world map to what we know and love today!
Now that you know a little about the early history of maps, let’s learn some fun facts.
East at the Top
These days, most maps feature north at the top. However, during the Middle Ages, most maps had east at the top. This was done to point in the direction of the morning sun.
Puzzle Maps
When printed maps became available to the general population in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, not everyone could understand them. In fact, the first jigsaw puzzles were designed as practice maps for eighteenth-century geography classes!
Fake Places
Mapmakers need to make sure that their work is not copied by others. To protect their work, many mapmakers add made-up towns or streets to their maps. Only the original mapmaker would know about the fake entry.
Modern Technology
Today, digital maps and GPS technology have revolutionized the way we explore our world. With the touch of a screen, we can see our exact location, plan routes, and even view real-time traffic updates.
21. What is a feature of the nearly 1,600-year-old map?
A. It has triangles representing different districts. B. It demonstrates a rectangular landmass.
C. It displays a land surrounded by a river. D. It is the oldest map in Southwest Asia.
22. Which of the pictures best shows the modern form of the Greek scientist’s addition to the map?
A. B.
C. D.
23. What does the passage intend to tell readers?
A. The development of mapping technology. B. The significance of maps throughout history.
C. The history and interesting facts about maps. D. Some map-making tricks and techniques.
【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了地图的历史以及一些有趣的地图相关知识。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Triangles on the map indicate eight different regions. (地图上的三角形表示八个不同的地区。)”可知,这幅近1600年历史的地图的一个特点是它有代表不同地区的三角形。故选A。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Around AD 150, a Greek scientist drew north-south and east-west lines on a map. This addition applies mathematics to mapping and was an early attempt to show the earth’s shape on a flat piece of paper. (大约在公元150年,一位希腊科学家在地图上画出了南北和东西的线。这一补充将数学应用于制图,是在一张平面纸上显示地球形状的早期尝试。)”可知,最能展示希腊科学家对地图现代形式的添加的图片应该是包含经纬线的地图,因此B选项中的图片符合题意。故选B。
【23题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段中“Now that you know a little about the early history of maps, let’s learn some fun facts. (现在你对地图的早期历史有了一些了解,让我们来学习一些有趣的事实。)”可知,这篇文章想告诉读者地图的历史和有趣的事实。故选C。
B
For as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn’t attractive. A “friendly” neighborhood aunt advised that if I wanted to find a good husband in the future — I must put on some weight. After all, no one wants a bag of bones. As the years rolled by, mean comments about my skeletal frame continued to pour in. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn’t last long.
I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.
I entered adulthood thinking I wasn’t “enough” — an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight — self-improvement, discipline — all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn’t notice the other ways my body needed attention. Actually, I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.
I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self-reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self-hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.
I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck’s back.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者从小到大因身材问题遭受他人负面评价,失去自信,后来通过反思和专业帮助,她开始接受自己的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A ‘friendly’ neighborhood aunt advised that if I wanted to find a good husband in the future — I must put on some weight. After all, no one wants a bag of bones. As the years rolled by, mean comments about my skeletal frame continued to pour in.(一位“友好”的邻居阿姨建议,如果我将来想找个好丈夫,就必须增点肥。毕竟,没人想要一个瘦骨嶙峋的人。随着岁月的流逝,关于我骨架的刻薄评论不断涌入)”和第二段中“I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size.(我13岁时第一次被人叫胖。朋友和邻居会拿我的大块头开玩笑)”可知,作者从小到大,一直因为身材问题遭受了周围人的言语攻击。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I entered adulthood thinking I wasn’t ‘enough’ — an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that ‘skinny’ is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight — self-improvement, discipline — all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined.(进入成年期时,我觉得自己“不够好”——这种想法不仅是受到“瘦”被推崇的影响,还受到与减肥相关的语言的影响,如自我提升、自律,所有这些都是美德。而肥胖很快就会给你贴上懒惰和散漫的标签)”可知,“瘦”得到推崇,人们把它与自我提升和自律等美德关联起来,而作者因为太胖被贴上懒惰和散漫负面标签,所以她觉得自己“不够好”。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“After a lot of self reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.(经过大量的自我反思和一些专业帮助,我意识到我从未学会喜欢自己。虽然二十年的自我厌恶无法在一夜之间消除,但我已经迈出了接受自己的第一步)”可知,寻求专业帮助让作者从自我厌恶开始慢慢转变为自我接受,带来了新的思维模式。故选B项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合最后一段“I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck’s back.(我现在的身心都比以前轻松多了。有时候,我在社交媒体上发现有人说我太胖了,不应得到爱,也不值得被爱,但我正在学着不要把注意力放在这种想法上太久。只要我喜欢我自己,喜欢我自己的样子,那些意见到最后就像鸭背上的水一样)”可知,文章讲述了作者在成长历程中,不再关注别人对自己体重的看法,学会了接纳自己,接受真实的自己,让自己体重就保持原样。C项“Worth Your Weight(你的体重有价值)”能概括文章主旨,最适合做文章标题。故选C项。
C
Human beings eat a lot of fish. Globally, seafood is a $500 billion industry and consumption has more than doubled in the last half a century. But the oceans are not an unlimited resource, and seafood consumers are increasingly concerned about overfishing, marine pollution, and the fishing industry’s poor human rights record.
Netflix’s hit anti-fishing documentary Seaspiracy shocked many people into rethinking their seafood consumption. Although some marine scientists question the film’s claims that there is no such thing as a sustainable fishing industry and we could run out of fish in 2048, there is no denying that the film does have its impact, with quite a few viewers cutting down on fish or cutting it out altogether.
With more people than ever turning vegan, meat-free meat is now big business. Fish-free fish seems to follow. Vegan seafood products are found on supermarket shelves mimicking dishes from fish and chips to canned tuna. Fake fish currently accounts for only about 1% of the entire alternative-meat industry. But what began as a tiny cottage industry serving a booming market is expanding rapidly. In 2018, London’s Sutton & Sons became the first UK chippy to offer vegan fish and chips. Since then, the world has seen a surge in demand for fish-free foodstuffs. In 2017, only 29 companies in the world produced alt-seafood products. Now there are more than 80, with seafood giants and multinationals moving in to claim their territory.
Most of the fake marine life on sale now is vegetable or fungi-based. Seafoods’ unique structures and distinctive flavors are difficult to veganize convincingly. But by experimenting with new recipes and technologies, it is possible to simulate its tastes and textures with varying degrees of success. Much of the innovation involves repurposing plants in unexpected ways. For instance, Ahimi, made by US firm Ocean Hugger Food are tomato-based sashimi (生鱼片) substitutes. Meanwhile, California’s Sophie’s Kitchen uses a fibrous Asian root vegetable to create “tuna”, French manufacturer Odontella SAS offers artificial smoked salmon made from tofu and peas and Swedish retailer Ikea sells vegan caviar (鱼子酱) made from seaweed.
Most fake fish products, of course, are unlikely to fool anyone. For those who never mind their smelling and tasting like no creature that ever swims in any sea, they are great. But for some consumers, only genuine fish flesh will do. Luckily, technology promises to offer an ocean-friendly alternative. Lab-grown fish meat, cultivated in a vessel called a bioreactor, promises the real thing without animal cruelty or the environmental toll of industrial fishing. Some agriculture companies are already producing lab-grown salmon, bluefin tuna, shrimp, lobster and crab. But it’s a slow, expensive process and businesses are still figuring out how to produce seafood profitably.
28. What do we know about Seaspiracy?
A. It has aroused a heated debate among marine scientists.
B. It’s a popular documentary advocating seafood consumption.
C. It calls for a sustainable fishing industry as fish is running out.
D. It has noticeable effects on the viewers’ consuming habits.
29. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. The popularity of fake fish is limited to a tiny part of the world.
B. Fake fish industry is developing fast globally due to growing demand.
C. Meat-free meat is now big business with more people turning vegan.
D. Seafood giants and multinationals are producing fish-free foodstuffs.
30. What does the underlined word “simulate” in the fourth paragraph probably mean?
A. replace B. imitate C. uncover D. increase
31. According to the passage, who is most likely to buy lab-grown salmon?
A. A millionaire who enjoys fish-free foodstuffs.
B. A vegan who is in favor of alt-seafood products.
C. A fish-flesh lover who cares for the environment.
D. An environmentalist who is picky about his diet.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了全球海鲜消费的增长及其对海洋资源的影响,介绍了素食海鲜产品的兴起以及实验室培育鱼肉的潜力。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although some marine scientists question the film’s claims that there is no such thing as a sustainable fishing industry and we could run out of fish in 2048, there is no denying that the film does have its impact, with quite a few viewers cutting down on fish or cutting it out altogether.(尽管一些海洋科学家质疑该电影声称不存在可持续渔业以及我们可能在2048年耗尽鱼类的说法,但不可否认的是,这部电影确实产生了影响,相当多的观众减少了鱼类消费或完全停止食用鱼类)”可知,纪录片Seaspiracy对观众的消费习惯产生了显著影响。故选D项。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“With more people than ever turning vegan, meat-free meat is now big business. Fish-free fish seems to follow. Vegan seafood products are found on supermarket shelves mimicking dishes from fish and chips to canned tuna. Fake fish currently accounts for only about 1% of the entire alternative-meat industry. But what began as a tiny cottage industry serving a booming market is expanding rapidly. In 2018, London’s Sutton & Sons became the first UK chippy to offer vegan fish and chips. Since then, the world has seen a surge in demand for fish-free foodstuffs. In 2017, only 29 companies in the world produced alt-seafood products. Now there are more than 80, with seafood giants and multinationals moving in to claim their territory.(随着越来越多的人成为素食主义者,无肉肉类现在是一笔大生意。不含鱼的鱼似乎紧随其后。从炸鱼薯条到金枪鱼罐头,素食海鲜产品在超市货架上随处可见。人造鱼目前只占整个替代肉类产业的1%左右。但最初作为一个小型家庭手工业服务于蓬勃发展的市场,现在正在迅速扩展。2018年,伦敦的Sutton & Sons成为英国第一家提供素食鱼和薯条的炸鱼薯条店。自那时起,全球对无鱼食品的需求激增。2017年,全球只有29家公司生产替代海鲜产品。现在有超过80家,海鲜巨头和跨国公司也加入进来争夺市场份额)”可知,第三段主要讲述了由于需求增长,全球假鱼产业正在快速发展。故选B项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词前文“Most of the fake marine life on sale now is vegetable or fungi-based. Seafoods’ unique structures and distinctive flavors are difficult to veganize convincingly.(现在出售的大多数人造海洋生物都是蔬菜或真菌。因为独特的结构和独特的风味,海鲜的素食化很难令人信服)”指出海鲜因结构和风味独特,很难用人造材料代替,划线词所在句“But by experimenting with new recipes and technologies, it is possible to simulate its tastes and textures with varying degrees of success.(但通过尝试新的配方和技术,可以不同程度地成功simulate其味道和质地)”与前文构成转折关系,结合句中“by experimenting with new recipes and technologies”和“its tastes and textures”可推知,尽管存在困难,但现在使用新的配方和技术,已经可以“模拟”出其味道和质地,划线词simulate与imitate意思相近,意为“模拟,模仿”。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Lab-grown fish meat, cultivated in a vessel called a bioreactor, promises the real thing without animal cruelty or the environmental toll of industrial fishing.(实验室培育的鱼肉,在一个称为生物反应器的容器中培养,承诺提供真正的鱼肉,而无需动物虐待或工业捕捞的环境代价)”可知,实验室培育的鱼肉不会以虐待动物或以工业捕捞对环境的破坏为代价,所以它适合那些喜欢鱼肉同时又关心环境的人。故选C项。
D
Active noise control technology is used by noise-canceling headphones to minimize or completely block out outside noise. However, despite the many advancements in technology, people still don’t have much control over which sounds their headphones block out and which they let pass.
Now, deep learning algorithms have been developed by a group of academics at the University of Washington that enable users to select which noises to filter through their headphones in real-time. The system has been named “semantic hearing” by its creators.
The Al-powered headphones remove all background noise by streaming recorded audio to a smartphone that is linked to the devices. Through this process, the headphone users can choose to strengthen or cancel out 20 types of sounds, using voice commands or a smartphone app. The headphones will then only let through the sounds that have been chosen by the wearer.
“The challenge is that the sounds headphone wearers hear need to syn (同步) with their visual senses. This means the neural algorithms must process sounds in under a hundredth of a second.” said senior author Shyam Gollakota, a UW professor.
Due to this time constraint, the semantic hearing system chooses a process that relies on noises communicated on a device like a linked smartphone. Furthermore, in order for humans to continue to effectively experience sounds in their environment, the system needs to maintain these delays because sounds coming from different directions enter people’s ears at different times.
Trials were undertaken by the researchers in a variety of settings. The semantic hearing system was able to isolate target sounds while at the same time removing background noise. In terms of the system’s audio output for the desired sounds, 22 participants gave it an average rating higher than they assigned to the original noise recordings.
There were, however, a few disadvantages: the AI-powered system occasionally had trouble recognizing sounds that were too similar. The researchers said that the system could produce better results if its machine learning models were trained on more real world data.
32. Which of the following is True about deep learning algorithms?
A. It could promote users’ listening ability. B. It could help users remove unwanted noise.
C. It aims to stop people entering noisy areas. D. It has been widely applied in communication.
33. What should the neural algorithms do according to Shyam Gollakota?
A. Carefully select the headphone users. B. Process data without noticeable delay.
C. Get rid of the possible time constraint. D. Improve the quality of smartphones.
34. What did the researchers find about the system in the trials?
A. It could improve individual listening experience.
B. It could help them recognize participants’ voices.
C. It has more disadvantages than the advantages.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章介绍了华盛顿大学的一组学者开发的深度学习算法,使用户能够实时选择通过耳机过滤的噪音。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Now, deep learning algorithms have been developed by a group of academics at the University of Washington that enable users to select which noises to filter through their headphones in real-time. The system has been named "semantic hearing" by its creators.(现在,华盛顿大学的一组学者开发了一种深度学习算法,使用户能够实时选择通过耳机过滤哪些噪音。该系统被其创建者命名为“语义听力”。)”可知,深度学习算法可以帮助用户消除不必要的噪音。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中““The challenge is that the sounds headphone wearers hear need to syn (同步) with their visual senses. This means the neural algorithms must process sounds in under a hundredth of a second.” said senior author Shyam Gollakota, a UW professor.(“挑战在于,耳机佩戴者听到的声音需要与他们的视觉感官同步。这意味着神经算法必须在百分之一秒内处理声音。”资深作者、华盛顿大学教授Shyam Gollakota说。)”可知,Shyam Gollakota认为,耳机佩戴者听到的声音需要与他们的视觉感官同步,这意味着神经算法必须在百分之一秒内处理声音,即深度学习算法在处理数据时,没有明显的延迟。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The semantic hearing system was able to isolate target sounds, while at the same time removing background noise. In terms of the system’s audio output for the desired sounds, 22 participants gave it an average rating higher than they assigned to the original noise recordings.(语义听觉系统能够隔离目标声音,同时去除背景噪音。就系统输出的所需声音而言,22名参与者给出的平均评分高于他们对原始噪音记录的评分。)”可知,在试验中发现语义听觉系统能够隔离目标声音,同时去除背景噪音,22名参与者给它的平均评分高于他们给原始噪音录音的评分,即它的音质有所改善,可以改善个人的聆听体验。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Now, deep learning algorithms have been developed by a group of academics at the University of Washington that enable users to select which noises to filter through their headphones in real-time. The system has been named “semantic hearing” by its creators.(现在,华盛顿大学的一组学者开发了一种深度学习算法,使用户能够实时选择通过耳机过滤哪些噪音。该系统被其创建者命名为“语义听力”。)”以及通读全文可知,这篇文章介绍了华盛顿大学的一组学者开发的深度学习算法,使用户能够实时选择通过耳机过滤的噪音。通过将录制的音频传送到与设备连接的智能手机上,这种人工智能耳机可以通过语音命令或智能手机应用程序选择加强或消除20种类型的声音,并只允许佩戴者选择的声音通过,因此本文的主旨是C选项“AI noise-canceling headphones let you choose what you hear.(人工智能降噪耳机让你选择你所听到的声音)”。故选C。

How to Stand Up for Yourself
For most people, it’s pretty easy to stand up for someone else. It’s not hard to say your friend deserves a promotion at work or your mom should ask for a second opinion at the doctor. ___36___ , we somehow have all kinds of painful stories about how it’s selfish or unkind to advocate for our own needs. So how do you go from being everyone else’s advocate to learning to stand up for yourself? Below are several applicable steps you can take.
Enhance your self-worth. ___37___ . Let me explain. Where financial worth is about keeping more money than you spend, self-worth is built in the same way, but instead of dollars, we’re collecting and keeping more self.
Get comfortable saying no. The next time someone asks you for a favor or to join a committee, consider if you can afford to say yes. ___38___ . Do you have an excess of these resources that you can give after you’ve already cared for yourself? If you can’t afford it, try something like “That doesn’t feel good to me” or “That doesn’t work with my schedule”.
___39___ . It’s easy to fall into this trap because you tend to get praised for this habit. But when you lay more stress on what others may think of you, you are probably devaluing yourself. ___40___ . Then, you end up in a desperate cycle of performing for others and hoping to gain worth. To break this habit, instead of relying on niceness and agreeableness, start leaning toward the courage to not be liked all the time and the strength to endure rejection.
A. Stop people-pleasing
B. But when the tables are turned
C. Though satisfying others’ needs pleases us more
D. You’d better break the boundaries to gain self-worth
E. As your self-worth drops, your urge to please others rises
F. To do it, you actually have to keep more value than you give away
G. Take into account what it will cost you in terms of finances, energy, health and time
【答案】36. B 37. F 38. G 39. A 40. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了提升自我价值、学会拒绝、停止取悦他人等为自己挺身而出的方法。
【36题详解】
由上文“For most people, it’s pretty easy to stand up for someone else. It’s not hard to say your friend deserves a promotion at work or your mom should ask for a second opinion at the doctor.(对大多数人来说,为别人挺身而出是相当容易的。说你的朋友应该在工作中得到晋升,或者你的妈妈应该向医生征求第二种意见,这并不难)”以及下文“we somehow have all kinds of painful stories about how it's selfish or unkind to advocate for our own needs.(不知怎的,我们都有各种各样痛苦的故事,讲述为自己的需求发声是多么自私或不友善)”可知,上文说为别人挺身而出容易,下文说为自己的需求发声难且有不好的看法,前后形成转折。B项But when the tables are turned (但当情况反转时)符合语境,But表示转折,the tables are turned指情况反转,即从为别人发声转到为自己发声,有承上启下的作用。故选B项。
【37题详解】
由上文“Enhance your self-worth.(提升你的自我价值)”以及下文“Let me explain. Where financial worth is about keeping more money than you spend, self-worth is built in the same way, but instead of dollars, we’re collecting and keeping more self.(让我解释一下。经济价值在于存的钱比花的多,自我价值也是以同样的方式建立的,但我们收集和保留的不是美元,而是更多的自我)”可知,这里在讲提升自我价值的方法,且下文用经济价值类比自我价值。所以F项To do it, you actually have to keep more value than you give away (要做到这一点,你实际上必须保留比你付出更多的价值)符合语境,To do it承接上文Enhance your self-worth,keep more value than you give away与下文keeping more money than you spend和collecting and keeping more self相呼应,解释了提升自我价值的方式。故选F项。
【38题详解】
由上文“The next time someone asks you for a favor or to join a committee, consider if you can afford to say yes.(下次有人请你帮忙或加入一个委员会时,考虑一下你是否能答应)”以及下文“Do you have an excess of these resources that you can give after you’ve already cared for yourself? If you can’t afford it, try something like ‘That doesn’t feel good to me’ or ‘That doesn’t work with my schedule’.(在你照顾好自己之后,你是否有多余的这些资源可以给予别人呢?如果你负担不起,试着说‘这对我来说感觉不太好’或者‘这和我的日程安排冲突’)”可知,这里在讲当别人请求帮忙时要考虑自己的情况,下文提到these resources,说明空格处应提及相关资源。G项Take into account what it will cost you in terms of finances, energy, health and time (考虑一下这会在经济、精力、健康和时间方面让你付出什么代价)符合语境,Take into account承接上文consider,finances, energy, health and time 对应下文these resources,说明了考虑的具体方面。故选G项。
【39题详解】
由下文“It’s easy to fall into this trap because you tend to get praised for this habit. But when you lay more stress on what others may think of you, you are probably devaluing yourself.(很容易陷入这个陷阱,因为你往往会因为这个习惯而受到赞扬。但当你更在意别人对你的看法时,你可能是在贬低自己)”可知,这里讲的是过于在意别人看法的问题,这种行为是取悦他人的表现。A项Stop people-pleasing (停止取悦他人)符合语境,作为小标题,概括了该段落的主要内容,即要停止这种取悦他人的行为。故选A项。
【40题详解】
由上文“But when you lay more stress on what others may think of you, you are probably devaluing yourself.(但当你更在意别人对你的看法时,你可能是在贬低自己)”以及下文“Then, you end up in a desperate cycle of performing for others and hoping to gain worth.(然后,你最终会陷入一个为他人表演并希望获得价值的绝望循环中)”可知,这里在讲过于在意别人看法会导致自我价值贬低,进而陷入一个不好的循环。E项As your self-worth drops, your urge to please others rises (随着你的自我价值下降,你取悦他人的欲望会上升)符合语境,As your self-worth drops承接上文devaluing yourself,your urge to please others rises引出下文performing for others,说明了自我价值下降和取悦他人欲望上升之间的关系,以及由此导致的结果,有承上启下的作用。故选E项。

【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:因此,保持安全距离很重要。It is adj.+to do…为固定句型,it为形式主语,空处需填动词不定式作主语。故填to maintain。

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West. We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Upon Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track (足迹;踪迹) so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine (松树) trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

Paragraph 2
We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. Dad and I found it was so cute that we decided to run after it. After a while, we were completely lost in the forest. There was nothing left in our sight but the trees. “We may not be able to make it back to the farm house in time for supper.” I thought to myself. After a series of useless attempts to find a way out, we felt hungry and tired.
Paragraph 2
We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark. We got stuck in the forest. And an unexpected shower added to the difficulty of us in finding a way home, for all the tracks we had made disappeared because of the rain. I was almost breaking down when my father said, “Don’t worry, my son. I remember there is a river near the farm house. Find the river and we will be back home.” Finally, we found the river and got back to the house along it. Needless to say, we ate a late dinner.

①由第一段所给首句“Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.( 突然,一只小兔子跳到我的马前。) ”可知,这一句是故事发展的转折点,可从rabbit出现后带来的结果入手扩展开去,可以写看到可爱的兔子,父子俩去追兔子,结果迷路以及在这种情况下父子俩的反应。
②由第二段所给首句“We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark.( 我们不知道自己身在何处,天渐渐黑了。) ”这一句呼应前文Uncle Paul的嘱托——不要误了晚饭,可从如何寻路返回入手去写续文。
2.续写线索
追兔子——迷路——寻找出路——迷茫——困住——下雨——崩溃——找到出路——回家
3.词汇激活

A
From the time human beings began to draw them, maps have helped people find their way around their environments. But maps can show us many things, not just which direction to go. They show the path of history, the earth’s shape development of mathematics, and the progress of technology.
One of the oldest-known land maps is an almost 1,600-year-old tablet from Southwest Asia. The map shows a circle of land that is divided by a river and surrounded by ocean. Triangles on the map indicate eight different regions. And the map’s text describes legendary beasts and heroes that were important to the ancient people of the area. Around AD 150, a Greek scientist drew north-south and east-west lines on a map. This addition applies mathematics to mapping and was an early attempt to show the earth’s shape on a flat piece of paper. Maps gradually became much more detailed as new regions were explored and put down on paper. Also, mathematical and astronomical advances helped to perfect the world map to what we know and love today!
Now that you know a little about the early history of maps, let’s learn some fun facts.
East at the Top
These days most maps feature north at the top. However, during the Middle Ages, most maps had east at the top. This was done to point in the direction of the morning sun.
Puzzle Maps
When printed maps became available to the general population in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, not everyone could understand them. In fact, the first jigsaw puzzles were designed as practice maps for eighteenth-century geography classes!
Fake Places
Mapmakers need to make sure that their work is not copied by others. To protect their work, many mapmakers add made-up towns or streets to their maps. Only the original mapmaker would know about the fake entry.
Modern Technology
Today, digital maps and GPS technology have revolutionized the way we explore our world. With the touch of a screen, we can see our exact location, plan routes, and even view real-time traffic updates.
21. What is a feature of the nearly 1,600-year-old map?
A. It has triangles representing different districts. B. It demonstrates a rectangular landmass.
C. It displays a land surrounded by a river. D. It is the oldest map in Southwest Asia.
22. Which of the pictures best shows the modern form of the Greek scientist’s addition to the map?
A. B.
C. D.
23. What does the passage intend to tell readers?
A The development of mapping technology. B. The significance of maps throughout history.
C. The history and interesting facts about maps. D. Some map-making tricks and techniques.
B
For as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn’t attractive. A “friendly” neighborhood aunt advised that if I wanted to find a good husband in the future — I must put on some weight. After all, no one wants a bag of bones. As the years rolled by, mean comments about my skeletal frame continued to pour in. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn’t last long.
I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.
I entered adulthood thinking I wasn’t “enough” — an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight — self-improvement, discipline — all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn’t notice the other ways my body needed attention. Actually, I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.
I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self-reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self-hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.
I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck’s back.
24. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?
A. She suffered verbal abuse from people around her.
B. She became a people-pleaser to restore confidence.
C. She always had low self-esteem caused by obesity.
D. She was overwhelmed by contradictory beauty standards.
25. Why did the author think she wasn’t “enough”?
A. She lacked self-discipline. B. She failed to celebrate “skinny”.
C. She didn’t give enough attention to health. D. She was labelled negatively for her weight.
26. What impact did seeking professional help have on the author?
A. It reduced her weight. B. It led to a new mindset.
C. It ended her self-hatred. D. It caused more confusion.
27. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Beauty Matters B. Growing Pain
C. Worth Your Weight D. Battle Societal Values
C
Human beings eat a lot of fish. Globally, seafood is a $500 billion industry and consumption has more than doubled in the last half a century. But the oceans are not an unlimited resource, and seafood consumers are increasingly concerned about overfishing, marine pollution, and the fishing industry’s poor human rights record.
Netflix’s hit anti-fishing documentary Seaspiracy shocked many people into rethinking their seafood consumption. Although some marine scientists question the film’s claims that there is no such thing as a sustainable fishing industry and we could run out of fish in 2048, there is no denying that the film does have its impact, with quite a few viewers cutting down on fish or cutting it out altogether.
With more people than ever turning vegan, meat-free meat is now big business. Fish-free fish seems to follow. Vegan seafood products are found on supermarket shelves mimicking dishes from fish and chips to canned tuna. Fake fish currently accounts for only about 1% of the entire alternative-meat industry. But what began as a tiny cottage industry serving a booming market is expanding rapidly. In 2018, London’s Sutton & Sons became the first UK chippy to offer vegan fish and chips. Since then, the world has seen a surge in demand for fish-free foodstuffs. In 2017, only 29 companies in the world produced alt-seafood products. Now there are more than 80, with seafood giants and multinationals moving in to claim their territory.
Most of the fake marine life on sale now is vegetable or fungi-based. Seafoods’ unique structures and distinctive flavors are difficult to veganize convincingly. But by experimenting with new recipes and technologies, it is possible to simulate its tastes and textures with varying degrees of success. Much of the innovation involves repurposing plants in unexpected ways. For instance, Ahimi, made by US firm Ocean Hugger Food are tomato-based sashimi (生鱼片) substitutes. Meanwhile, California’s Sophie’s Kitchen uses a fibrous Asian root vegetable to create “tuna”, French manufacturer Odontella SAS offers artificial smoked salmon made from tofu and peas and Swedish retailer Ikea sells vegan caviar (鱼子酱) made from seaweed.
Most fake fish products, of course, are unlikely to fool anyone. For those who never mind their smelling and tasting like no creature that ever swims in any sea, they are great. But for some consumers, only genuine fish flesh will do. Luckily, technology promises to offer an ocean-friendly alternative. Lab-grown fish meat, cultivated in a vessel called a bioreactor, promises the real thing without animal cruelty or the environmental toll of industrial fishing. Some agriculture companies are already producing lab-grown salmon, bluefin tuna, shrimp, lobster and crab. But it’s a slow, expensive process and businesses are still figuring out how to produce seafood profitably.
28. What do we know about Seaspiracy?
A. It has aroused a heated debate among marine scientists.
B. It’s a popular documentary advocating seafood consumption.
C. It calls for a sustainable fishing industry as fish is running out.
D. It has noticeable effects on the viewers’ consuming habits.
29. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. The popularity of fake fish is limited to a tiny part of the world.
B. Fake fish industry is developing fast globally due to growing demand.
C. Meat-free meat is now big business with more people turning vegan.
D. Seafood giants and multinationals are producing fish-free foodstuffs.
30. What does the underlined word “simulate” in the fourth paragraph probably mean?
A. replace B. imitate C. uncover D. increase
31. According to the passage, who is most likely to buy lab-grown salmon?
A. A millionaire who enjoys fish-free foodstuffs.
B. A vegan who is in favor of alt-seafood products.
C. A fish-flesh lover who cares for the environment.
D. An environmentalist who is picky about his diet.
D
Active noise control technology is used by noise-canceling headphones to minimize or completely block out outside noise. However, despite the many advancements in technology, people still don’t have much control over which sounds their headphones block out and which they let pass.
Now, deep learning algorithms have been developed by a group of academics at the University of Washington that enable users to select which noises to filter through their headphones in real-time. The system has been named “semantic hearing” by its creators.
The Al-powered headphones remove all background noise by streaming recorded audio to a smartphone that is linked to the devices. Through this process, the headphone users can choose to strengthen or cancel out 20 types of sounds, using voice commands or a smartphone app. The headphones will then only let through the sounds that have been chosen by the wearer.
“The challenge is that the sounds headphone wearers hear need to syn (同步) with their visual senses. This means the neural algorithms must process sounds in under a hundredth of a second.” said senior author Shyam Gollakota, a UW professor.
Due to this time constraint, the semantic hearing system chooses a process that relies on noises communicated on a device like a linked smartphone. Furthermore, in order for humans to continue to effectively experience sounds in their environment, the system needs to maintain these delays because sounds coming from different directions enter people’s ears at different times.
Trials were undertaken by the researchers in a variety of settings. The semantic hearing system was able to isolate target sounds, while at the same time removing background noise. In terms of the system’s audio output for the desired sounds, 22 participants gave it an average rating higher than they assigned to the original noise recordings.
There were, however, a few disadvantages: the AI-powered system occasionally had trouble recognizing sounds that were too similar. The researchers said that the system could produce better results if its machine learning models were trained on more real world data.
32. Which of the following is True about deep learning algorithms?
A. It could promote users’ listening ability. B. It could help users remove unwanted noise.
C. It aims to stop people entering noisy areas. D. It has been widely applied in communication.
33 What should the neural algorithms do according to Shyam Gollakota?
A. Carefully select the headphone users. B. Process data without noticeable delay.
C. Get rid of the possible time constraint. D. Improve the quality of smartphones.
34. What did the researchers find about the system in the trials?
A. It could improve individual listening experience.
B. It could help them recognize participants’ voices.
C. It has more disadvantages than the advantages.
D It’s suitable to strengthen the background noise.
35. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The semantic hearing system still has some drawbacks.
B. The semantic hearing system can recognize human speech.
C. AI noise-canceling headphones let you choose what you hear.
D. AI noise-canceling headphones present a commercial version.

How to Stand Up for Yourself
For most people, it’s pretty easy to stand up for someone else. It’s not hard to say your friend deserves a promotion at work or your mom should ask for a second opinion at the doctor. ___36___ , we somehow have all kinds of painful stories about how it’s selfish or unkind to advocate for our own needs. So how do you go from being everyone else’s advocate to learning to stand up for yourself? Below are several applicable steps you can take.
Enhance your self-worth. ___37___ . Let me explain. Where financial worth is about keeping more money than you spend, self-worth is built in the same way, but instead of dollars, we’re collecting and keeping more self.

Do you have an excess of these resources that you can give after you’ve already cared for yourself? If you can’t afford it, try something like “That doesn’t feel good to me” or “That doesn’t work with my schedule”.
___39___ . It’s easy to fall into this trap because you tend to get praised for this habit. But when you lay more stress on what others may think of you, you are probably devaluing yourself. ___40___ . Then, you end up in a desperate cycle of performing for others and hoping to gain worth. To break this habit, instead of relying on niceness and agreeableness, start leaning toward the courage to not be liked all the time and the strength to endure rejection.
A. Stop people-pleasing
B. But when the tables are turned
C. Though satisfying others’ needs pleases us more
D. You’d better break the boundaries to gain self-worth

After a dolphin was found swimming alone in a creek in Florida, marine biologists formed a human chain to save it.

It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West. We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Upon Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track (足迹;踪迹) so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine (松树) trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

Earning scholarships is a great way to help you. Here is some advice. First, begin in your own backyard. Local scholarship awards are usually easier to obtain as the applicant pools are smaller and less competitive. Check with the community organizations, the local banks and the credit unions who may offer scholarship opportunities in your area. Second, find your strong points. While you are searching, consider what makes you special as a student. Your unique characteristics can help your scholarship applications stand out, as most scholarship providers want to encourage a particular behavior. Third, develop routine. Every scholarship is different in terms of when you can apply, what you need to submit when the winner is announced and how the money is given to you. Typically, scholarship applications open in the late fall or early spring. For the next school year awards, visit the related scholarship providers as official websites for lists of scholarship opportunities. Go through the list to find the ones that match you best and keep track of when you can apply for them. You and your family are probably worrying about the cost of the college education.
