Each weekday Raden Roro Hendarti rides her three wheeler with books stacked up at the back for children in Muntang village to exchange for plastic cups, bags and other waste that she carries back. She told Reuters the is helping promote reading in the kids as well make them aware of the environment. As soon as she shows up, little children, many accompanied by their mothers, surround her “Trash Library” and shout for the books. They are all carrying trash bags and Raden's three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out. She's happy the kids are going to spend less time on online games as a result. “Let us build a culture of literacy from young age to lessen the harm of the online world,” Raden said. “We should also take care of our waste in order to fight climate change and to save the earth from trash,” Raden said. She collects about 100 kg of waste each week, which is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold. She has a stock of 6,000 books to lend and wants to take the mobile service to neighboring areas as well. Kevin Alamsyah, an 11-year-old book lover, search for waste lying in the village. “When there is too much trash, our environment will become dirty and it's not healthy. That's why I look for trash to borrow a book,” he says. Jiah Palupi, the head of the main public library in the area, said Raden's work strengthened their efforts in a novel way to battle online gaming addiction among the youth and promote reading. The literacy rate for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia is around 96 percent, but a September report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic will leave more than 80% of 15-year-olds below the minimum reading proficiency (阅读水平) level identified by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. 4.

A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要是介绍一种让孩子用垃圾来借书用以清洁环境和提高孩子阅读水平的特殊的“垃圾图书馆”。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“As soon as she shows up, little children, many accompanied by their mothers, surround her “Trash Library” and shout for the books”(她一出现，孩子们就围在她的“垃圾图书馆”周围，大声喊着要书，很多孩子都有母亲陪同)可知，“垃圾图书馆”深受孩子们和他们父母的欢迎。故选A。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段中的“battle online gaming addiction among the youth and promote reading”(打击青少年网络游戏成瘾，促进阅读)可知，此处是指“垃圾图书馆”这种创新的方法，所以novel意为“创新的”。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“the pandemic will leave more than 80% of 15-year-olds below the minimum reading proficiency (阅读水平) level identified by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development”(疫情将使80%以上的15岁儿童的阅读水平低于经济合作与发展组织确定的最低水平)可知，疫情对青少年的阅读有负面影响。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A librarian in Indonesia's Java island is lending books to children in exchange for trash to clean up the environment and get the kids to read more.”(印度尼西亚爪哇岛的一名图书管理员正在向孩子们借书，以换取垃圾来清洁环境，让孩子们多读书。)可知，文章主要是介绍一种让孩子用垃圾来借书用以清洁环境和提高孩子阅读水平的特殊的“垃圾图书馆”。故选A。 C After losing an important deal in India, a business negotiator learned that her counterpar (对方) felt as if she had been rushing through the talks. The business negotiator thought she was being efficient with their time. Their cultures have different views on how to conduct negotiations, and in this case the barrier prevented a successful outcome. Research shows that deal-making across cultures tends to lead to worse outcomes as compared with negotiations conducted within the same culture. As we know, cultures are characterized by different behaviors, communication styles and norms (准则). Consequently, when negotiating across cultures, we bring different views to the bargaining table, which in turn may result in potential misunderstandings that can lead to a lower likelihood of discovering value-creating solutions. Cultural conflict in negotiations is linked with the fact that we, at most times, interpret others’ behaviors, values, and beliefs through the lens (透镜) of our own culture. To overcome this, it is important to research the customs and behaviors of different cultures as well as understand why people follow these customs and exhibit these behaviors in the first place. Just as important, not only do countries have unique cultures, but teams do too. Before partaking in any negotiation, take the time to study the context and the person on the other side of the bargaining table, including the various cultures to which he belongs, whether the culture of engineering or his particular company’ s culture. The more you know about the client, the better off you’ll do in any negotiation. Therefore, the negotiator has learned her Indian counterpart will appreciate a slower pace with more opportunities for relationship building. She seems to have run into the issue: Using time efficiently in the course of negotiations is generally valued in the United States, but in India, there’s often a greater focus on building relationships early in the process. By doing research on the clients’ cultures, they can adjust their negotiation method and give themselves a better chance of creating a valuable negotiation experience for both themselves and their counterpart. 8. What led to the woman’s failure in negotiation with her Indian counterpart? A. Lack of preparation for time management. B. The cultural gap between counterparts. C. Her inefficient ability to communicate. D. Conflicts of interest in business strategies. 9. According to the research, why do cross-cultural negotiations often have worse outcomes? A. They require more time to reach agreements. B. Cultural conflicts increase financial costs. C. Negotiators tend to avoid direct communication. D. Cultural misunderstandings are to blame. 10. What does the author mainly want to say in Paragraph 4? A. Meeting culture shock is fairly common. B. People should respect cultural differences. C. Culture research is vital before negotiating. D. Cross-culture conflicts result from ignorance. 11. What is the function of the last paragraph? A. To draw a regrettable conclusion. B. To summarize the mentioned negotiation case. C. To share a distinctive opinion on the case. D. To propose an efficient negotiation method. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过了解不同的文化来应对文化冲突，从而在跨文化谈判中达成合作。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Their cultures have different views on how to conduct negotiations, and in this case the barrier prevented a successful outcome. (他们的文化对如何进行谈判有不同的看法，在这种情况下，这种障碍阻碍了成功的结果)”可知，双方的文化差异导致了生意谈判失败。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段“Research shows that deal-making across cultures tends to lead to worse outcomes as compared with negotiations conducted within the same culture. As we know, cultures are characterized by different behaviors, communication styles and norms(准则). Consequently, when negotiating across cultures, we bring different views to the bargaining table, which in turn may result in potential misunderstandings that can lead to a lower likelihood of discovering value-creating solutions.”（研究表明，与同文化内的谈判相比，跨文化谈判往往会导致更糟糕的结果。众所周知，文化以不同的行为、沟通风格和准则为特征。因此，在跨文化谈判中，我们会将不同的观点带到谈判桌上，这反过来可能导致潜在的误解，从而降低发现价值创造解决方案的可能性。）可知，跨文化谈判结果不佳的原因是文化误解。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Before partaking in any negotiation, take the time to study the context and the person on the other side of the bargaining table, including the various cultures to which he belongs, whether the culture of engineering or his particular company’ s culture. The more you know about the client, the better off you’ll do in any negotiation. (在参加任何谈判之前，花点时间研究背景和谈判桌上的对方，包括他所属的各种文化，无论是他的文化、工程文化，还是他所在公司的企业文化。你对客户了解得越多，你在谈判中就越有利)”可推知，作者在该段想要表达的是在谈判前进行调查研究很有必要，对对方的文化越了解，越有利于谈判的进行。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，第一段给出跨文化谈判失败的案例，第二、三、四段从该案例出发，分析了跨文化谈判往往会失败背后深层次的文化原因，以及解决这种跨文化问题的方法，最后一段回到案例本身，结合上文的原因和方法，给案例中的人提供了具体的建议。由此推知，最后一段的作用是总结提到的谈判案例。故选B项。 D Many people count on faster, cheaper and better technology to offer a vision of a brighter future. Nevertheless, as the 2020s dawn, optimism is in short supply. The new technologies that dominated the past decade seem to be making matters worse. Social media, intended to connect people, are infamous for privacy leaks. Convenient E-commerce and online ride-hailing are charged with underpaying workers and blocking the streets with vehicles. Today’s pessimistic mood targets smart phones and social media, which took off a decade ago. Yet concerns that particular technologies might be doing more harm than good have arisen before. The 1920s witnessed a criticism of cars, once regarded as solutions to horse-drawn vehicles issues like noise, waste, and accidents. And industrialization was criticized in the 19th century by Romantics who worried about the replacement of skilled workers, the robbing of the countryside and the suffering of factory hands. However, that pessimism can be overdone. Too often people focus on the drawbacks of a new technology while taking its benefits for granted. Worries about screen time should be weighed against the much more substantial benefits of instant communication and information access that smartphones make possible. A further danger is that Luddites’ (卢德分子) efforts to avoid the short-term costs associated with a new technology will end up denying access to its long-term benefits — something Carl Benedikt Frey, an Oxford academic, calls a “technology trap”. Fears that robots will steal people’s jobs may discourage their use. Yet in the long run countries that wish to maintain their living standard as their workforce ages and decreases will need more robots, not fewer. Any powerful technology can be used for good or ill. It is the choices people make about it that shape the world. Perhaps the real source of anxiety is not technology itself, but growing doubts about the ability of societies to hold this debate, and come up with good answers. So as the decade turns, put aside the pessimism for a moment. To be alive in the tech-fascinated 2020s is to be among the luckiest people who have ever lived. 12. According to paragraph 1, which may be a problem caused by new technologies? A. Identity theft. B. Network viruses. C. Network addiction. D. A troll or cyberbully. 13. What is the criticism of cars in the 1920s mentioned in order to demonstrate? A. Every technological advancement faces initial rejection. B. Past technologies are more harmful than modern ones. C. Current technological pessimism has existed for so long. D. Environmental concerns always drive technological debates. 14. What might be a result of a “technology trap”? A. An interruption to the technology advancement. B. An instant access to information and entertainment. C. A lack of good employment in the job market. D. A decrease in the number of underpaid workers. 15. Which is the best title of the passage? A. Technology Optimism vs. Pessimism: Neither Can Win. B. Beyond Technological Pessimism: Society’s Choices Matter. C. The Technology Trap: An Unavoidable Dilemma. D. The Double-Edged Sword of Innovation: Never Use It. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章整体讨论了人们对新技术悲观情绪，并指出这种情绪可能过度，强调社会对技术的选择才是塑造未来的关键。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Social media, intended to connect people, are infamous for privacy leaks.(社交媒体本意是连接人们，却因隐私泄露而臭名昭著)”可知，新技术的负面影响之一是隐私泄露，即身份盗用。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Yet concerns that particular technologies might be doing more harm than good have arisen before. The 1920s witnessed a criticism of cars, once regarded as solutions to horse-drawn vehicles issues like noise, waste, and accidents.(然而，对特定技术可能弊大于利的担忧以前就出现过。20世纪20年代见证了对汽车的批评，汽车曾被认为是解决马车噪音、浪费和事故等问题的办法。)”可知，作者提到汽车的例子是为了说明当前对技术的悲观情绪并非新现象，而是长期存在的。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。 根据文章第三段“A further danger is that Luddites’ (卢德分子) efforts to avoid the short-term costs associated with a new technology will end up denying access to its long-term benefits — something Carl Benedikt Frey, an Oxford academic, calls a “technology trap”. Fears that robots will steal people’s jobs may discourage their use.(更进一步的危险是，卢德分子为了避免新技术带来的短期成本而做出的努力，最终将导致无法获得其长期利益——牛津大学学者卡尔•本尼迪克特•弗雷称之为“技术陷阱”。人们担心机器人会抢走人们的工作，这可能会阻碍机器人的使用)”可知，技术陷阱可能导致技术进步的中断。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Any powerful technology can be used for good or ill. It is the choices people make about it that shape the world. Perhaps the real source of anxiety is not technology itself, but growing doubts about the ability of societies to hold this debate, and come up with good answers. So as the decade turns, put aside the pessimism for a moment. To be alive in the tech-fascinated 2020s is to be among the luckiest people who have ever lived.(任何强大的技术都可以用来做好事，也可以用来做坏事。是人们做出的选择塑造了世界。也许焦虑的真正来源不是技术本身，而是越来越多的人怀疑社会是否有能力进行这场辩论，并拿出好的答案。因此，随着这十年的到来，暂时把悲观情绪放在一边。生活在对科技着迷的21世纪20年代，是有史以来最幸运的人之一)”可知，文章整体讨论了人们对新技术的悲观情绪，并指出这种情绪可能过度，强调社会对技术的选择才是塑造未来的关键。选项B（超越技术悲观主义：社会的选择至关重要）最符合文章主旨，故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Simple Tips to Increase Self-Confidence Having confidence begins with having a mind full of confident thoughts.

He agreed only if I had a bicycle. My dad bought me a used bike, but right after that he fell ill and couldn’t teach me to ride. Mr. Miceli, however, merely asked to see the bike. So I walked to his garage, showed it to him and got the job. At first, I filled my delivery bag with rolled papers over the handlebars and walked my bike down the sidewalks. But pushing a bike with a load of papers was awkward; after a few days I borrowed Mom’s two-wheeled shopping cart. It took me longer to make my deliveries by cart, but I didn’t mind. I sent each paper to its proper destination. In rain or snow, I put Dad’s old raincoat over the cart to keep the papers dry. I got to meet everyone in the neighborhood — working-class people of Italian, German or Polish origins who were invariably kind to me. When Dad returned from the hospital, he was too weak to resume his original job. Now we needed every penny we could raise to pay bills, so we sold the bike. Mr. Miceli must have known I wasn’t using a bike, but he said nothing about it to me. On the Thursday evening before Christmas, 1951, I rang my first customer’s doorbell. Even though the lights were on, nobody answered, so I went on to the next house. No answer, nor did anyone respond at the next family on my route, or the one after. I was very worried; I had to pay for my papers every Friday. And while it was almost Christmas, I never thought that everyone would be out shopping. So I was very happy when, going up the walkway to Mr. Gordon’s house, I heard music and voices. I rang the bell. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The door flew open, and Mr. Gordon dragged me inside. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After walking the bicycle home, I opened those envelopes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The door flew open, and Mr. Gordon dragged me inside. Jammed in his living room were all my subscribers! In the center of the room, I saw a new bicycle, a canvas bag packed with colorful envelopes on its handlebar. “A Christmas present our best paperboy!” Mr. Gordon said. Sensing my confusion, he continued, “We’ve all seen you in the rain and snow with that little shopping cart, so we suppose you ought to have a bicycle.” Deeply touched, I felt tears of gratitude filling my eyes. After walking the bicycle home, I opened those envelopes. They held Christmas cards from every subscriber, along with their subscription fees and tips. Kindness did not end there, though. The next day, when I got to Mr. Miceli’s garage, he was waiting outside. “Bring your bike tomorrow morning, and I’ll teach you to ride,” he offered. When I felt comfortable on a bike, Mr. Miceli asked me to deliver a second route. Delivering both routes on my new bike, I really appreciated the kind Chicagoans’ love and support. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了作者儿时通过送报纸来挣钱补贴家用，但由于父亲突发疾病，不得不卖掉了作者送报纸用的自行车，后来邻居们自发为他买了一辆自行车作为圣诞节的礼物来感谢作者每日送报纸的辛劳，歌颂了作者踏实认真的品质，赞扬了邻居们热心善意的举动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“门突然开了，戈登先生把我拖了进去。”可知，第一段可描写作者进去之后看到的景象（邻居们自发为他买了一辆自行车作为圣诞节的礼物）及感想。 ②由第二段首句内容“推着自行车回家后，我打开了那些信封。”可知，第二段可描写信件的具体内容及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：被戈登先生拖进去——邻居们送自行车——感动——回家看信——邻居的善意继续——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看见，发现：see/spot ②充满：be packed with/be full of/be filled with ③到达：get to/arrive at/reach 情绪类 ①感谢：gratitude/appreciation ②感动：touched/moved 【点睛】[高分句型1] Jammed in his living room were all my subscribers!

She told Reuters the is helping promote reading in the kids as well make them aware of the environment. As soon as she shows up, little children, many accompanied by their mothers, surround her “Trash Library” and shout for the books. They are all carrying trash bags and Raden's three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out. She's happy the kids are going to spend less time on online games as a result. “Let us build a culture of literacy from young age to lessen the harm of the online world,” Raden said. “We should also take care of our waste in order to fight climate change and to save the earth from trash,” Raden said.

C After losing an important deal in India, a business negotiator learned that her counterpar (对方) felt as if she had been rushing through the talks. The business negotiator thought she was being efficient with their time. Their cultures have different views on how to conduct negotiations, and in this case the barrier prevented a successful outcome. Research shows that deal-making across cultures tends to lead to worse outcomes as compared with negotiations conducted within the same culture. As we know, cultures are characterized by different behaviors, communication styles and norms (准则). Consequently, when negotiating across cultures, we bring different views to the bargaining table, which in turn may result in potential misunderstandings that can lead to a lower likelihood of discovering value-creating solutions. Cultural conflict in negotiations is linked with the fact that we, at most times, interpret others’ behaviors, values, and beliefs through the lens (透镜) of our own culture. To overcome this, it is important to research the customs and behaviors of different cultures as well as understand why people follow these customs and exhibit these behaviors in the first place. Just as important, not only do countries have unique cultures, but teams do too. Before partaking in any negotiation, take the time to study the context and the person on the other side of the bargaining table, including the various cultures to which he belongs, whether the culture of engineering or his particular company’ s culture. The more you know about the client, the better off you’ll do in any negotiation. Therefore, the negotiator has learned her Indian counterpart will appreciate a slower pace with more opportunities for relationship building. She seems to have run into the issue: Using time efficiently in the course of negotiations is generally valued in the United States, but in India, there’s often a greater focus on building relationships early in the process. By doing research on the clients’ cultures, they can adjust their negotiation method and give themselves a better chance of creating a valuable negotiation experience for both themselves and their counterpart. 8. What led to the woman’s failure in negotiation with her Indian counterpart? A. Lack of preparation for time management. B. The cultural gap between counterparts. C. Her inefficient ability to communicate. D. Conflicts of interest in business strategies. 9. According to the research, why do cross-cultural negotiations often have worse outcomes? A. They require more time to reach agreements. B. Cultural conflicts increase financial costs. C. Negotiators tend to avoid direct communication. D. Cultural misunderstandings are to blame. 10. What does the author mainly want to say in Paragraph 4? A. Meeting culture shock is fairly common. B. People should respect cultural differences. C. Culture research is vital before negotiating. D. Cross-culture conflicts result from ignorance. 11. What is the function of the last paragraph? A. To draw a regrettable conclusion. B. To summarize the mentioned negotiation case. C. To share a distinctive opinion on the case. D. To propose an efficient negotiation method. D Many people count on faster, cheaper and better technology to offer a vision of a brighter future. Nevertheless, as the 2020s dawn, optimism is in short supply. The new technologies that dominated the past decade seem to be making matters worse. Social media, intended to connect people, are infamous for privacy leaks. Convenient E-commerce and online ride-hailing are charged with underpaying workers and blocking the streets with vehicles. Today’s pessimistic mood targets smart phones and social media, which took off a decade ago. Yet concerns that particular technologies might be doing more harm than good have arisen before. The 1920s witnessed a criticism of cars, once regarded as solutions to horse-drawn vehicles issues like noise, waste, and accidents. And industrialization was criticized in the 19th century by Romantics who worried about the replacement of skilled workers, the robbing of the countryside and the suffering of factory hands. However, that pessimism can be overdone. Too often people focus on the drawbacks of a new technology while taking its benefits for granted. Worries about screen time should be weighed against the much more substantial benefits of instant communication and information access that smartphones make possible. A further danger is that Luddites’ (卢德分子) efforts to avoid the short-term costs associated with a new technology will end up denying access to its long-term benefits — something Carl Benedikt Frey, an Oxford academic, calls a “technology trap”. Fears that robots will steal people’s jobs may discourage their use. Yet in the long run countries that wish to maintain their living standard as their workforce ages and decreases will need more robots, not fewer. Any powerful technology can be used for good or ill. It is the choices people make about it that shape the world. Perhaps the real source of anxiety is not technology itself, but growing doubts about the ability of societies to hold this debate, and come up with good answers. So as the decade turns, put aside the pessimism for a moment. To be alive in the tech-fascinated 2020s is to be among the luckiest people who have ever lived. 12. According to paragraph 1, which may be a problem caused by new technologies? A. Identity theft. B. Network viruses. C. Network addiction. D. A troll or cyberbully. 13. What is the criticism of cars in the 1920s mentioned in order to demonstrate? A. Every technological advancement faces initial rejection. B. Past technologies are more harmful than modern ones. C. Current technological pessimism has existed for so long. D. Environmental concerns always drive technological debates. 14. What might be a result of a “technology trap”? A.

He agreed only if I had a bicycle. My dad bought me a used bike, but right after that he fell ill and couldn’t teach me to ride. Mr. Miceli, however, merely asked to see the bike. So I walked to his garage, showed it to him and got the job. At first, I filled my delivery bag with rolled papers over the handlebars and walked my bike down the sidewalks. But pushing a bike with a load of papers was awkward; after a few days I borrowed Mom’s two-wheeled shopping cart. It took me longer to make my deliveries by cart, but I didn’t mind. I sent each paper to its proper destination. In rain or snow, I put Dad’s old raincoat over the cart to keep the papers dry. I got to meet everyone in the neighborhood — working-class people of Italian, German or Polish origins who were invariably kind to me. When Dad returned from the hospital, he was too weak to resume his original job. Now we needed every penny we could raise to pay bills, so we sold the bike. Mr. Miceli must have known I wasn’t using a bike, but he said nothing about it to me. On the Thursday evening before Christmas, 1951, I rang my first customer’s doorbell. Even though the lights were on, nobody answered, so I went on to the next house. No answer, nor did anyone respond at the next family on my route, or the one after. I was very worried; I had to pay for my papers every Friday. And while it was almost Christmas, I never thought that everyone would be out shopping. So I was very happy when, going up the walkway to Mr. Gordon’s house, I heard music and voices. I rang the bell. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The door flew open, and Mr. Gordon dragged me inside. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After walking the bicycle home, I opened those envelopes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
