It was finally time for me to visit the country. My first day started in Lima, the capital of Peru. I met with the G Adventures representative (代表) here about the tour. G Adventures is an organization that helps you to connect with other like-minded people in small group-based travel adventures. They played a big part in helping to make Peru an unforgettable experience for me! In Lima, my representative discussed the plan of my tour, and I also had the chance to explore Lima in my own time, with many activities, including a city tour, show, biking tour, and more. Day two had me taking a flight from Lima to Cusco. Many people visit Cusco for shopping but for me, the main reason for spending a day or two in Cusco was to acclimatize (适应) to the altitude (海拔). As I’d decided to reach the wonder of Machu Picchu, acclimatizing became important to avoid altitude sickness. I was happy to spend a day exploring Cusco. Cusco was once the capital of the Inca Empire. Today, it’s famous for its artists, paintings, clothing and traditional instruments. There’s something for everyone in this city. The day finally came! Day three had me enjoying a lovely guided visit to Machu Picchu at sunrise. I had free time to explore the city on my own as well as with my guide. It was a lot to take in! I had to stop for a moment and felt the energy of such an ancient city. The history here was unbelievable and I will never forget my time here for as long as I live! 4. What is the author’s attitude to G Adventures? A Doubtful. B. Satisfied. C. Uninterested. D. Hopeful. 5. Why did the author stay in Cusco? A. To go shopping. B. To find a local guide. C. To get used to the high altitude. D. To do research about the Inca Empire. 6. How did the author feel when traveling around Machu Picchu? A. Full of excitement. B. Out of luck. C. Lost in doubt. D. Deep in regret. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. My love of traveling B. My wonderful trip to Peru C. Peru: “Land of the Incas”. D. Traveling: the future of Peru. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者旅游秘鲁的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“G Adventures is an organization that helps you to connect with other like-minded people in small group-based travel adventures. They played a big part in helping to make Peru an unforgettable experience for me!”（G Adventures是一个组织，它可以帮助你与其他志同道合的人在小型团体旅行冒险中建立联系。他们在让秘鲁成为我难忘的经历中发挥了重要作用！）可推知，作者对G Adventures的态度是很满意的。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Many people visit Cusco for shopping but for me, the main reason for spending a day or two in Cusco was to acclimatize (适应) to the altitude (海拔).”（很多人来库斯科是为了购物，但对我来说，在库斯科呆一两天的主要原因是为了适应这里的海拔高度。）可知，作者留在库斯科是为了适应高海拔。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Day three had me enjoying a lovely guided visit to Machu Picchu at sunrise. I had free time to explore the city on my own as well as with my guide. It was a lot to take in! I had to stop for a moment and felt the energy of such an ancient city. The history here was unbelievable and I will never forget my time here for as long as I live!”（第三天，在导游的带领下，我在日出时分游览了马丘比丘。我有空闲时间独自探索这座城市，也有时间和我的导游一起探索。这可真让人难以接受!我不得不停下来片刻，感受这样一个古老城市的活力。这里的历史令人难以置信，只要我活着，我就永远不会忘记我在这里的时光！）可推知，在马丘比丘旅行时，作者心里充满激动。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Peru is famously known as “Land of the Incas”. A trip to Peru has been on my wish list for quite a while. It was finally time for me to visit the country.”（秘鲁以“印加人之地”而闻名。去秘鲁旅行已经在我的愿望清单上很久了。终于到了我访问这个国家的时候了。）和后文内容可知，本文主要讲述了作者拜访秘鲁的旅行。所以B项“My wonderful trip to Peru.”（我愉快的秘鲁之旅）切合文意。故选B项。 C With Mel Robbins’ new book, The Let Them Theory, lots of people are talking about boundaries (边界). As relationship experts, boundaries are one of the most important parts of our work. Why are we so focused on boundaries, as experts who want to help people be closer to one another? Because healthy boundaries are the core foundation of any healthy relationship. First, let’s review what boundaries are. Imagine that you have a bubble (气泡) of personal space around you. A boundary is a decision you make about what you let inside of the bubble. For example, you might want to let people inside the bubble if they bring you joy, if you care about their well-being, or if you’re working on something meaningful together. We can have lots of bubbles of different sizes for different aspects of our lives. Importantly, keeping on these boundaries is all about what you do, not what others do. You can’t force someone to behave differently within your bubble; their behavior is not within your control. So what do you do if someone violates (冒犯) your boundary? You can move your bubble away from them by changing your own behavior: For example, you might invest less emotionally in the relationship, physically leave the situation, share less information about yourself, be less open, or even cut off the relationship totally. Healthy relationships require a foundation of mutual (相互的) respect, and this includes respecting other people’s right to make their own decisions — even if we don’t like, agree with, or tolerate their choices. So how do we let other people make their own choices without letting them harm us or violate our personal space? We set and hold strong boundaries. Boundaries certainly protect our own individual well-being, but they also protect and develop our relationships with others. Keeping our boundaries allows us to build trust in ourselves so that we can keep ourselves safe, regardless of what other people say or do. And this sense of safety, in turn, allows us to take the risk of being weak in connection with others. 8. Why do relationship experts focus on boundaries? A. They want to take advantage of people’s behavior. B. Boundaries help people become more independent. C. Healthy boundaries are essential for fine relationships. D. It’s easier to work with people who have clear boundaries. 9. What is a boundary according to the text? A. A rule that others must follow. B. A way to force others to behave. C. A physical barrier around a person. D. A decision about what enters one’s personal space. 10. What can you do if someone violates your boundary? A. Argue with them. B. Ignore them completely. C. Adjust your own behavior. D. Try to change their behavior. 11 What is the main idea of the text? A. Mel Robbins’ new book and its influence. B. Importance of maintaining healthy boundaries. C. Ways to avoid personal boundaries being violated. D Differences between physical and emotional boundaries. 【答案】8. C 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“边界”这一概念，阐述了其在人际关系中的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Why are we so focused on boundaries, as experts who want to help people be closer to one another? Because healthy boundaries are the core foundation of any healthy relationship. (作为想要帮助人们彼此更亲近的专家，我们为什么如此关注边界呢？因为健康的边界是任何健康关系的核心基础。)”可知，关系专家关注边界是因为健康的边界对于良好的关系来说是必不可少的。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“First, let’s review what boundaries are. Imagine that you have a bubble (气泡) of personal space around you. A boundary is a decision you make about what you let inside of the bubble. (首先，让我们回顾一下什么是边界。想象一下，你周围有一个个人空间的气泡。边界是你做出的关于让什么进入这个气泡的决定。)”可知，边界是关于什么进入一个人个人空间的决定。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“So what do you do if someone violates (冒犯) your boundary? You can move your bubble away from them by changing your own behavior: For example, you might invest less emotionally in the relationship, physically leave the situation, share less information about yourself, be less open, or even cut off the relationship totally. (那么，如果有人冒犯了你的边界，你该怎么办呢？你可以通过改变自己的行为，将你的气泡从他们身边移开：例如，你可能会在这段关系中投入更少的情感，从身体上离开这种情况，分享更少关于你自己的信息，变得不那么开放，甚至完全切断这段关系。)”可知，如果有人冒犯了你的边界，你可以调整自己的行为。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇由Mel Robbins的新书引出边界的话题，接着阐述了边界的定义、当边界被冒犯时的做法，重点强调了健康的边界对个人和人际关系的重要性。所以B选项Importance of maintaining healthy boundaries. (维持健康边界的重要性。)，符合文章主旨。故选B。 D 8-year-old S. Hariraj, a Foldscope (折叠显微镜) lover, has been using it for 2 years now. The Foldscope reveals a world of microorganisms. “The Foldscope taught me that the world we see around us can be very different from what we assume. It’s like having a third eye.” The 8-year-old is talking about a device that is a fully functional paper microscope. Everything you need to construct the Foldscope comes in a small bag: A sheet of paper with four main parts to punch (打孔) out to build the microscope. The main part of the Foldscope is one long sheet of paper. Magnets (磁铁) stick to each end, holding front and back together. There’s a lens (镜片) in the bag — and a hole to show where it should go. Once put together the Foldscope is the size of a bookmark. The Foldscope is the invention of Manu Prakash and his colleague Jim Cybulski. The inspiration came when Prakash, 44, was growing up in a northern Indian city. Now a professor at Stanford University, he remembers an afternoon in Grade 6 when he and his classmates were stumped by a single test question. “We were asked to draw a microscope,” he says. “None of us could because we just hadn’t seen one. Growing up, I knew that the spirit of exploration was critical to the study of science,” says Prakash. “And it’s not just for beginners. Many scientists and researchers apply it to their work,” says Karthik Balasubramaniam, a scientist. The Foldscope has helped make his fieldwork easier. He studies a microscopic kind of sea plants, collecting water samples from across the country to assess biodiversity and pollution. “Carrying an expensive microscope onto the field to study each water sample can be hard,” he says. “The Foldscope isn’t as powerful as a lab microscope. But it can let me see whether my water sample has sea plants or not.” 12. Why does Hariraj compare the Foldscope to a third eye? A. It contributes to his insights into the real world. B. It can be used to replace a real human eye. C. It is small in size and convenient to carry. D. It helps to improve his vision. 13. What do magnets serve to do in making the Foldscope? A. Increase the weight of its central part. B. Indicate where the lens should be fixed. C. Simplify the process of making the Foldscope. D. Fix both ends of a sheet of paper to each other. 14. What does the underlined word “stumped” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Attracted. B. Scared. C. Shamed. D. Beaten. 15. What can we learn about Foldscope from the last paragraph? A. It matches a lab microscope in all respects. B. It suits professionals as well as amateurs. C. It first appeared before Hariraj’s birth. D. It is undervalued by some researchers. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了折叠显微镜Foldscope的诞生、制作方法与用途。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The Foldscope taught me that the world we see around us can be very different from what we assume. It’s like having a third eye.(折叠显微镜让我明白，我们周围的世界可能与我们想象的大不相同。这就像有了第三只眼睛)”可知，Hariraj将折叠显微镜比作第三只眼睛，是因为它有助于Hariraj加深对现实世界的理解。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Magnets (磁铁) stick to each end, holding front and back together.(磁铁吸附在两端，将前后固定在一起)”可知，在制作折叠显微镜时，磁铁的作用是将一张纸的两端固定在一起。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“he and his classmates were(他和他的同学们)”，“by a single test question(被一个简单的测试题)”以及下文““We were asked to draw a microscope,” he says. “None of us could because we just hadn’t seen one. Growing up, I knew that the spirit of exploration was critical to the study of science,” says Prakash.(“们被要求画一台显微镜，”他说。普拉卡什说道：“我们谁都画不出来显微镜是因为我们根本就没见过这东西。在成长过程中，我就意识到探索精神对于科学研究来说是至关重要的。”)”可知，Prakash和他的同学们被一道测试题难住了，因为他们都没见过显微镜，所以不会画。由此可知，画线词意思是“难住，使困惑”。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中““And it’s not just for beginners. Many scientists and researchers apply it to their work,” says Karthik Balasubramaniam, a scientist.(“而且（折叠显微镜）并不仅仅适用于初学者。许多科学家和研究人员也将其应用于他们的工作中，”科学家卡尔蒂克·巴拉苏布拉马尼亚姆说道)”可知，折叠显微镜不仅适合初学者，许多科学家和研究人员也将其应用于他们的工作中，即折叠显微镜既适合专业人士也适合业余爱好者。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。 When I was a child, my grandparents bought a second home in Arkansas and would bring me there every single summer. I would spend a lot of time outside. ____16____ We would collect cool-looking rocks and refill the hummingbird feeders. Almost every afternoon we would drive down to Bull Shoals lake, the “swimming hole,” and take a swim. I always remember my grandparents calling me over to the window when a deer family was in the yard or a few hummingbirds were at the feeders so that I could watch them. ____17____. I remember repeating to myself “oak trees, dogwood trees, maple trees” over and over so that I could impress him by remembering. I would search around the yard, and if I was lucky I would find a turtle. If I did find a turtle I would go to get my grandfather so that he could pick it up and put it in the kiddy pool for me to observe for a few minutes. ____18____ After I finished observing the turtle, my grandfather would pick it back up and return it to the bush I found it in. I would watch in amazement as it slowly stuck its legs out and crawled back under. ____19____ It was quiet and full of interesting natural things I never got to see in Illinois. I could definitely tell that my grandparents had an appreciation for nature as well. They disturb the land around them as little as possible and didn’t see it as annoyance, rather a beautiful view. I think we should take the time to appreciate and observe the natural world around us. When we do this, we find that it brings us happiness and has a great value beyond just that of resources. Preservation of the natural world is important as we are dependent upon it for life. ____20____ A. I was always amazed by creatures like this. B. I followed my grandfather while he did yard work. C. I always felt very at peace at my grandparents’ home D. Our experiences with nature have shaped my life values. E. Walking in the forest always makes me feel relaxed and energetic. F. My grandfather taught me the names of different trees in the yard. G. We can’t harm it at such a rate where it will never return to what it once was. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. A 19. C 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者小时候在祖父母家过暑假的经历。 【16题详解】 根据上文“When I was a child, my grandparents bought a second home in Arkansas and would bring me there every single summer. I would spend a lot of time outside.(当我还是个孩子的时候，我的祖父母在阿肯色州买了第二套房子，每年夏天都会带我去那里。我会花很多时间在外面)”以及后文“We would collect cool-looking rocks and refill the hummingbird feeders. Almost every afternoon we would drive down to Bull Shoals lake, the “swimming hole,” and take a swim.(我们会收集看起来很酷的石头，把蜂鸟喂食器装满。几乎每天下午，我们都会开车去牛滩湖，也就是“游泳洞”，去游泳)”可知，后文主要列举了作者和祖父在一起的活动，故B选项“祖父在院子里干活时，我跟着他”符合语境，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据后文“I remember repeating to myself “oak trees, dogwood trees, maple trees” over and over so that I could impress him by remembering.(我记得我一遍又一遍地对自己说“橡树、山茱萸、枫树”，这样我就能记住他)”可知，后文列举了树木的名字，说明祖父会教作者不同树木的名字。故F选项“祖父教我院子里不同树木的名字”符合语境，故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“If I did find a turtle I would go to get my grandfather so that he could pick it up and put it in the kiddy pool for me to observe for a few minutes.(如果我真的发现了一只乌龟，我会去找我的祖父，让他把它捡起来，放在小水池里，让我观察几分钟)”以及后文“After I finished observing the turtle, my grandfather would pick it back up and return it to the bush I found it in. I would watch in amazement as it slowly stuck its legs out and crawled back under.(在我观察完乌龟之后，爷爷会把它捡起来，放回我发现它的灌木丛里。我惊奇地看着它慢慢地伸出腿，爬回下面)”可知，前后文主要关于观察乌龟，可知本句是在描述作者对乌龟的看法，故A选项“我总是对这样的生物感到惊讶”符合语境，故选A。 【19题详解】 根据后文“It was quiet and full of interesting natural things I never got to see in Illinois. I could definitely tell that my grandparents had an appreciation for nature as well. They disturb the land around them as little as possible and didn’t see it as annoyance, rather a beautiful view.(那里很安静，充满了我在伊利诺斯州从未见过的有趣的自然景观。我可以肯定地说，我的祖父母也很欣赏大自然。他们尽量不打扰周围的土地，也不认为这是一种烦恼，而是一种美丽的景色)”可知，后文提到作者认为祖父母家很安静，自然景观也很有趣，说明喜欢祖父母家，本句为积极评价，故C选项“在祖父母家我总是感到很平静”符合语境，故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文“I think we should take the time to appreciate and observe the natural world around us. When we do this, we find that it brings us happiness and has a great value beyond just that of resources. Preservation of the natural world is important as we are dependent upon it for life.(我认为我们应该花时间去欣赏和观察我们周围的自然世界。当我们这样做的时候，我们发现它给我们带来了快乐，它的价值超越了资源。保护自然世界是很重要的，因为我们的生活依赖于它)”可知，上文主要关于保护自然世界的呼吁，G选项中it指代上文natural world，故G选项“我们不能以这样的速度损害它，它将永远不会恢复到原来的样子”符合语境，故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I recently spent a week on the Greek island of Ikaria with my partner, exploring the secrets of the locals’ healthy and happy lifestyle.

Ellen Kalish was happy to help, who runs the Manhattan Wildlife Center in New York. She is used to getting calls about taking in wild animals. The caller told her where this tiny owl was hiding out. It was found inside the Christmas tree in the Rockefeller Center, where it is a yearly tradition to decorate trees. But this year, the tree looked a little worse. Many people made fun of its branches. They called the tree a “symbol of 2020”, meaning its sad look reminded them how tough the past year was. The tale of the owl’s rescue quickly became the highlight of this year’s tree. Before the tree was put up to decorate, one of the workers caught sight of the creature. It was buried in the base of the tree. The owl most likely traveled with the tree on its journey to Manhattan. But there was no proof about where it came from and how it ended up stuck in this tree. Getting the little bird out from the base of the tree, the worker noticed that the creature got badly injured and seemed not to eat or drink anything for a few days. She was too weak to fly, but luckily she was still alive. In that case, the worker had to bring the owl home. He named her Rocky as he spotted her in the Rockefeller Center. Considering he himself had no idea how to keep an owl, he decided to find a place that rescues wildlife animals. That was why he called the Center. After Kalish got the full story about the bird, she met the man at a gas station. Then the man handed her a box with the owl inside. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Kalish took the box carefully. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Rocky didn’t look that terrible as she was in the box a week before. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Kalish took the box carefully. She opened the box gently. The owl was standing in a cardboard box, looking straight at her. “I thought, this is a miracle! How did this bird survive this trip?” She named the owl Rockefeller, or “Rocky.” “She was super hungry,” she says, estimating that she probably had not been able to eat or drink for at least a few days. She immediately gave her water and food—a few frozen mice—which she ate quickly. A veterinarian examined her, and x-rays showed that she had no broken bones or inner damage. By Thursday, Rocky started to bathe herself—a sign she was feeling good. An owl bath, Kalish says, leads to “water everywhere.” Rocky didn’t look that terrible as she was in the box a week before. On Friday, Kalish moved Rocky to an outdoor practice cage so she could get used to new circumstance and Kalish could monitor her flight. By Tuesday at dusk, she seemed ready to go. Kalish brought Rocky to a clearing of nearby forest, removed her from her carrier and raised her toward the sky. Rocky sat on Kalish’s hand for several moments, surveying her surroundings. Then, she flew off, settling in a nearby pine tree. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间发展为线索展开，主要记叙了Ravensbeard野生动物救助中心的创始人Ellen Kalish接到陌生电话，问询他们是否接受野生猫头鹰，Ellen驱车30分钟后赶到了洛克菲勒中心的门前，救治这只“意外的小家伙”。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“卡利什小心翼翼地接过盒子。”可知，后文应该是讲述卡利什在盒子里看到了小猫头鹰。讲述了她照顾猫头鹰的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“Rocky看起来并不像一周前在盒子里那幺可怕。”可知，第二段可描写卡利什对Rocky进行户外练习，让她就能适应环境。有一天终于能够自由飞翔。 2.续写线索： 打开盒子——发现猫头鹰——照顾——逐渐恢复——自由飞翔 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打开：open/unfold ②洗澡：bath/have a bath/take a bath ③抚养：lift/ raise/ put up/uplift ④停在：place/rest on 情绪类 ①感觉好：feel good/feel okay/be alright 【点睛】[高分句型1] A veterinarian examined her, and x-rays showed that she had no broken bones or internal damage. （运用了that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] Then, she flew off, settling in a nearby pine tree.（运用了非谓语动词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高一英语4月考 第一部分 听力（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 1.

B Peru is famously known as “Land of the Incas”. A trip to Peru has been on my wish list for quite a while. It was finally time for me to visit the country. My first day started in Lima, the capital of Peru. I met with the G Adventures representative (代表) here about the tour. G Adventures is an organization that helps you to connect with other like-minded people in small group-based travel adventures. They played a big part in helping to make Peru an unforgettable experience for me! In Lima, my representative discussed the plan of my tour, and I also had the chance to explore Lima in my own time, with many activities, including a city tour, show, biking tour, and more. Day two had me taking a flight from Lima to Cusco. Many people visit Cusco for shopping but for me, the main reason for spending a day or two in Cusco was to acclimatize (适应) to the altitude (海拔). As I’d decided to reach the wonder of Machu Picchu, acclimatizing became important to avoid altitude sickness. I was happy to spend a day exploring Cusco. Cusco was once the capital of the Inca Empire. Today, it’s famous for its artists, paintings, clothing and traditional instruments. There’s something for everyone in this city. The day finally came! Day three had me enjoying a lovely guided visit to Machu Picchu at sunrise. I had free time to explore the city on my own as well as with my guide. It was a lot to take in! I had to stop for a moment and felt the energy of such an ancient city. The history here was unbelievable and I will never forget my time here for as long as I live! 4.

C With Mel Robbins’ new book, The Let Them Theory, lots of people are talking about boundaries (边界). As relationship experts, boundaries are one of the most important parts of our work. Why are we so focused on boundaries, as experts who want to help people be closer to one another? Because healthy boundaries are the core foundation of any healthy relationship. First, let’s review what boundaries are. Imagine that you have a bubble (气泡) of personal space around you. A boundary is a decision you make about what you let inside of the bubble. For example, you might want to let people inside the bubble if they bring you joy, if you care about their well-being, or if you’re working on something meaningful together. We can have lots of bubbles of different sizes for different aspects of our lives. Importantly, keeping on these boundaries is all about what you do, not what others do. You can’t force someone to behave differently within your bubble; their behavior is not within your control. So what do you do if someone violates (冒犯) your boundary? You can move your bubble away from them by changing your own behavior: For example, you might invest less emotionally in the relationship, physically leave the situation, share less information about yourself, be less open, or even cut off the relationship totally. Healthy relationships require a foundation of mutual (相互的) respect, and this includes respecting other people’s right to make their own decisions — even if we don’t like, agree with, or tolerate their choices. So how do we let other people make their own choices without letting them harm us or violate our personal space? We set and hold strong boundaries. Boundaries certainly protect our own individual well-being, but they also protect and develop our relationships with others. Keeping our boundaries allows us to build trust in ourselves so that we can keep ourselves safe, regardless of what other people say or do. And this sense of safety, in turn, allows us to take the risk of being weak in connection with others. 8. Why do relationship experts focus on boundaries? A. They want to take advantage of people’s behavior. B. Boundaries help people become more independent. C. Healthy boundaries are essential for fine relationships. D. It’s easier to work with people who have clear boundaries. 9. What is a boundary according to the text? A. A rule that others must follow. B. A way to force others to behave. C. A physical barrier around a person. D. A decision about what enters one’s personal space. 10. What can you do if someone violates your boundary? A. Argue with them. B. Ignore them completely. C. Adjust your own behavior. D. Try to change their behavior. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Mel Robbins’ new book and its influence. B. Importance of maintaining healthy boundaries. C. Ways to avoid personal boundaries being violated. D. Differences between physical and emotional boundaries. D 8-year-old S. Hariraj, a Foldscope (折叠显微镜) lover, has been using it for 2 years now. The Foldscope reveals a world of microorganisms. “The Foldscope taught me that the world we see around us can be very different from what we assume. It’s like having a third eye.” The 8-year-old is talking about a device that is a fully functional paper microscope. Everything you need to construct the Foldscope comes in a small bag: A sheet of paper with four main parts to punch (打孔) out to build the microscope. The main part of the Foldscope is one long sheet of paper. Magnets (磁铁) stick to each end, holding front and back together. There’s a lens (镜片) in the bag — and a hole to show where it should go. Once put together the Foldscope is the size of a bookmark. The Foldscope is the invention of Manu Prakash and his colleague Jim Cybulski. The inspiration came when Prakash, 44, was growing up in a northern Indian city. Now a professor at Stanford University, he remembers an afternoon in Grade 6 when he and his classmates were stumped by a single test question. “We were asked to draw a microscope,” he says. “None of us could because we just hadn’t seen one. Growing up, I knew that the spirit of exploration was critical to the study of science,” says Prakash. “And it’s not just for beginners. Many scientists and researchers apply it to their work,” says Karthik Balasubramaniam, a scientist. The Foldscope has helped make his fieldwork easier. He studies a microscopic kind of sea plants, collecting water samples from across the country to assess biodiversity and pollution. “Carrying an expensive microscope onto the field to study each water sample can be hard,” he says. “The Foldscope isn’t as powerful as a lab microscope. But it can let me see whether my water sample has sea plants or not.” 12. Why does Hariraj compare the Foldscope to a third eye? A. It contributes to his insights into the real world. B. It can be used to replace a real human eye. C. It is small in size and convenient to carry. D. It helps to improve his vision. 13. What do magnets serve to do in making the Foldscope? A. Increase the weight of its central part. B. Indicate where the lens should be fixed. C. Simplify the process of making the Foldscope. D. Fix both ends of a sheet of paper to each other. 14. What does the underlined word “stumped” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Attracted. B. Scared. C. Shamed. D. Beaten. 15. What can we learn about Foldscope from the last paragraph? A It matches a lab microscope in all respects. B. It suits professionals as well as amateurs. C. It first appeared before Hariraj’s birth. D. It is undervalued by some researchers. 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。 When I was a child, my grandparents bought a second home in Arkansas and would bring me there every single summer. I would spend a lot of time outside. ____16____ We would collect cool-looking rocks and refill the hummingbird feeders. Almost every afternoon we would drive down to Bull Shoals lake, the “swimming hole,” and take a swim. I always remember my grandparents calling me over to the window when a deer family was in the yard or a few hummingbirds were at the feeders so that I could watch them. ____17____. I remember repeating to myself “oak trees, dogwood trees, maple trees” over and over so that I could impress him by remembering. I would search around the yard, and if I was lucky I would find a turtle. If I did find a turtle I would go to get my grandfather so that he could pick it up and put it in the kiddy pool for me to observe for a few minutes. ____18____ After I finished observing the turtle, my grandfather would pick it back up and return it to the bush I found it in. I would watch in amazement as it slowly stuck its legs out and crawled back under. ____19____ It was quiet and full of interesting natural things I never got to see in Illinois. I could definitely tell that my grandparents had an appreciation for nature as well. They disturb the land around them as little as possible and didn’t see it as annoyance, rather a beautiful view. I think we should take the time to appreciate and observe the natural world around us. When we do this, we find that it brings us happiness and has a great value beyond just that of resources. Preservation of the natural world is important as we are dependent upon it for life. ____20____ A. I was always amazed by creatures like this. B. I followed my grandfather while he did yard work. C.

Ellen Kalish was happy to help, who runs the Manhattan Wildlife Center in New York. She is used to getting calls about taking in wild animals. The caller told her where this tiny owl was hiding out. It was found inside the Christmas tree in the Rockefeller Center, where it is a yearly tradition to decorate trees. But this year, the tree looked a little worse. Many people made fun of its branches. They called the tree a “symbol of 2020”, meaning its sad look reminded them how tough the past year was. The tale of the owl’s rescue quickly became the highlight of this year’s tree. Before the tree was put up to decorate, one of the workers caught sight of the creature. It was buried in the base of the tree. The owl most likely traveled with the tree on its journey to Manhattan. But there was no proof about where it came from and how it ended up stuck in this tree. Getting the little bird out from the base of the tree, the worker noticed that the creature got badly injured and seemed not to eat or drink anything for a few days. She was too weak to fly, but luckily she was still alive. In that case, the worker had to bring the owl home. He named her Rocky as he spotted her in the Rockefeller Center. Considering he himself had no idea how to keep an owl, he decided to find a place that rescues wildlife animals. That was why he called the Center. After Kalish got the full story about the bird, she met the man at a gas station. Then the man handed her a box with the owl inside. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Kalish took the box carefully. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Rocky didn’t look that terrible as she was in the box a week before. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
