The twin brothers took all of the money out of their piggy banks and asked their parents, Mark Klein and Sandy Rubinstein, if they could buy birthday gifts for kids who weren’t expecting any. Then, at age 6, the boys announced that they wanted money usually spent on their birthday presents to go to charitable donations. They bought computers for police officers, and they sold cookies to raise money for sick children. Then they learned at age 8 that they were too young to volunteer at their town’s soup kitchen. “That’s when we decided we’d have to come up with a way to take things into our own hands,” Jake, now 15 says. “We thought, ‘What can we do to show that kids are able to make a difference and do more than is expected?’” Last year, he and Max, now going into the 10th grade at Leonia High School, started Kids That Do Good, a nonprofit (非营利性的) website that lists hundreds of ways for young people to get involved in charitable work, coast-to-coast. It’s a lesson that has caught on with many, including 9-year-old Sophia Somerstein, who lives near the Kleins in New Jersey. “Max and Jake encouraged me to help collect food and I really loved the feeling of making somebody’s life better,” she says. “Now this summer, I want to help people around me, and I hope I can teach other kids, too. It’s cool that kids just like me can do something to help others.” The Kleins recently started a challenge for kids registered (注册) on their website (about 3,000 so far) to track their volunteer hours, with the goal of topping 100,000 by the end of 2019. “Someday, we’d love to reach a million hours,” notes Max, who hopes to continue running Kids That Do Good with Jake when they both go off to college. 41. What can we learn about the Kleins when they were kids? A. They loved to help others. B. They were in need of help. C. They found it easy to collect money. D.

C 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了双胞胎兄弟Jake和Max从小就致力于做慈善，后来他们成立了一个名为Kids That Do Good的非营利性网站，帮助年轻人做慈善工作。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Jake and Max Klein were 4 years old when they first realized there was a world in need outside the front door of their home in Edgewater, New Jersey.(Jake Klein和Max Klein 在4岁时第一次意识到在新泽西州埃奇沃特的家门口之外有一个需要帮助的世界。)”、第二段“The twin brothers took all of the money out of their piggy banks and asked their parents, Mark Klein and Sandy Rubinstein, if they could buy birthday gifts for kids who weren’t expecting any.(这对双胞胎兄弟从他们的小猪存钱罐里拿出所有的钱，问他们的父母Mark Klein和Sandy Rubinstein他们是否可以给那些没任何期待的孩子买生日礼物。)”、第三段中的“Then, at age 6, the boys announced that they wanted money usually spent on their birthday presents to go to charitable donations.(然后，在6岁的时候，男孩们宣布，他们想把通常花在生日礼物上的钱捐给慈善捐款。)”等可推知，Max和Jake兄弟俩小的时候喜欢帮助别人。故选A。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Then they learned at age 8 that they were too young to volunteer at their town’s soup kitchen. ‘That’s when we decided we’d have to come up with a way to take things into our own hands,’ Jake, now 15 says.(然后，他们在8岁时了解到，他们太小了，不能在镇上的施食处做志愿者。‘就在那时，我们决定必须想出一种方法，把事情掌握在自己手中，’现年15岁的Jake说。)”可知，当Max和Jake兄弟俩被镇上的施食处拒绝时，他们决定自己创造出一个方法，以此来表明孩子也可以帮助。故选B。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“We thought, ‘What can we do to show that kids are able to make a difference and do more than is expected?’(我们想，‘我们能做些什么来证明孩子们能够有所作为，做得比预期的更多？’)”和第五段中的“Last year, he and Max, now going into the 10th grade at Leonia High School, started Kids That Do Good, a nonprofit(非营利性的) website that lists hundreds of ways for young people to get involved in charitable work, coast-to-coast.(去年，他和Max，现在正在莱昂尼亚高中读十年级，创办了Kids That Do Good，这是一个非营利网站，列出了数百种让年轻人参与慈善工作的方式)”可知，他们创办Kids That Do Good这一非营利网站是为了证明孩子也能够有所作为，帮助年轻人做慈善，由此可推测出，他们想要鼓励其他人参与慈善工作，回馈社会。故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“It’s a lesson that has caught on with many, including 9-year-old Sophia Somerstein, who lives near the Kleins in New Jersey.(这是一个受很多人欢迎的经验，包括住在新泽西州Klein家附近的9岁的Sophia Somerstein。)”和第七段的“‘Max and Jake encouraged me to help collect food and I really loved the feeling of making somebody’s life better,’ she says.(她说：‘Max和Jake鼓励我帮忙收集食物，我真的很喜欢让别人的生活变得更好的感觉。’)”可推测出，她对Max和Jake两个兄弟评价很高。故选B。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The Kleins recently started a challenge for kids registered(注册) on their website (about 3,000 so far) to track their volunteer hours, with the goal of topping 100,000 by the end of 2019.(Klein兄弟最近开始为在他们的网站上注册的孩子们(到目前为止约有3000人)发起一项挑战，跟踪他们的志愿者时间，目标是到2019年底达到100000人。)”可知，两个兄弟发起一项挑战，跟踪注册他们网站的孩子们所贡献的志愿者时间，并设置了2019年底要达到的目标，由此可推测出，该网站发展迅速。故选A。 C It is sometimes jokingly said that you may skip a meal a day without any adverse effect but skip using your WeChat for an hour and you will feel distinctly unwell. It is an acknowledgement of the fact that the app is no longer only a fun tool but an essential part of life for millions. Launched in January 2011, this messaging, social media and mobile payment app today has more than 1 billion individual users. People use it for everything, from applying for a business license to booking a hospital appointment to keeping up with family and friends, shopping and paying bills—activities that are part and parcel of our everyday life. When it was first introduced, WeChat was only an app supporting voice, video, picture and text messages between two persons or among a group. But today it has become ubiquitous. In the past, people carried their wallet and keys with them wherever they went; today, a smart phone with WeChat installed is all they need in daily life. Its functions like Moments and mini programs and the official WeChat accounts of government agencies and companies have made communication and public services accessible and convenient like never before. WeChat is also widely used by enterprises. Figures from Tencent show there are around 15 million WeChat official accounts, which enjoy 5 billion followers. Most businesses use their WeChat groups as a standard marketing kit. This has immensely reduced advertising, marketing and communication costs, and in the background of the novel coronavirus disease, made operations faster, contactless and safe. However, there are concerns about the downsides of WeChat, such as addiction among primary school children. Equally serious is the misuse of WeChat for fraud or instigating crimes. However, it has to be kept in mind that these fallouts are not really the fault of WeChat, but due to the misuse of the app. If we learn to temper our use of messaging apps with prudence and pragmatism, we could be looking forward to yet new conveniences and experience in this decade with the rapid development of 5G technology and artificial intelligence. Ultimately, the choice is ours, whether to use WeChat or any other new invention, wisely or wantonly. 46. We can conclude from the first paragraph that ___________. A. we can easily skip a meal a day. B. we will be ill by not using WeChat. C. WeChat used to be meant for fun. D. WeChat has become inseparable in daily life. 47. The underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 3 probably has the same meaning as ____________. A. everywhere. B. somewhere. C. nowhere. D. wherever. 48. For what reasons do the government agencies choose to use WeChat? A. WeChat has a mobile payment function. B. The agencies provide better service through WeChat. C. Mini programs are convenient for the agencies. D. People do not have to carry keys and cash with them. 49. What benefits does WeChat bring to the businesses? A. It has brought more followers. B. It has become a standard. C. It has helped to cut down the costs. D. It has made the businesses healthier. 50. What is to be remembered when we look at the downsides of WeChat? A. WeChat should be held responsibly. B. WeChat should be banned among primary school children. C. The improper use of the app leads to many problems. D. The 5G technology will bring new conveniences and experience. 【答案】46. D 47. A 48. B 49. C 50. C 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章对微信的普及程度、好处和坏处进行了介绍。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“It is an acknowledgement of the fact that the app is no longer only a fun tool but an essential part of life for millions.”（这是在承认这样一个事实：这款应用不再只是一个有趣的工具，而是数百万人生活中必不可少的一部分。）可知，微信已经成为日常生活中不可分割的一部分。故选D。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段第一句“In the past, people carried their wallet and keys with them wherever they went; today, a smart phone with WeChat installed is all they need in daily life.”（在过去，人们无论去哪里都会随身携带钱包和钥匙；今天，一个安装了微信的智能手机是他们在日常生活中所需要的。）可知，此处是指微信就像过去的钱包一样随处可见。所以ubiquitous意为“随处可见的”。故选A。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Its functions like Moments and mini programs and the official WeChat accounts of government agencies and companies have made communication and public services accessible and convenient like never before.”（它的朋友圈、小程序以及政府机构和公司的微信官方账号等功能，使沟通和公共服务变得前所未有的便捷。）可知，政府机构使用微信是因为这些机构通过微信提供更好的服务。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段第四句“This has immensely reduced advertising, marketing and communication costs, and in the background of the novel coronavirus disease, made operations faster, contactless and safe.”（这大大降低了广告、营销和传播成本，在新型冠状病毒疾病的背景下，提高了操作速度、非接触性和安全性。）可知，微信帮助企业减少了成本。故选C。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒第二段最后一句“However, it has to be kept in mind that these fallouts are not really the fault of WeChat, but due to the misuse of the app.”（但是，需要记住的是，这些问题并不是微信的错，而是由于应用的误用。）可知，当我们看待微信的坏处时应该记住的是应用程序的不当使用导致了许多问题。故选C。 D Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending hours doing some exercises according to scientists. They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories to produce heat. Living in an exciting social environment was found to reduce fat in mice’s belly by half over four weeks even if they ate more. US researchers say that social excitement catalyzes weight loss by turning white fat into brown. White fat stores calories and makes us fatter while brown burns energy to produce heat. Turning white fat into brown is extremely difficult normally requiring long-term stay in cold conditions or exciting part of the body’s nervous system. However scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown. The team came up with their theory by studying the effects of various living environments on mice. Those who lived alongside a greater number of mice had more space and toys to excite themselves and then lost far more weight over the course of the study than their “couch potato“ fellows. Study author Dr Matthew During whose team’s findings appear in the journal Cell Metabolism said “I’m still amazed at the degree of fat loss that occurs.” Explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing he added “It’s not just a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle and high calorie foods but an increasing lack of social activities.” Co-author Dr Lei Cao said, “Loneliness is a potential factor for cancer and death; it’s equal to cigarette smoking to a certain extent. Social activities are very vital.” 51. What information can we get from the first two paragraphs? A. It doesn’t take long to turn white fat into brown. B. Brown fat stores calories and makes us fatter. C. Social excitement helps gain more weight. D. Brown fat can burn energy to produce heat. 52. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in paragraph 2? A. destroys B. relieves C. aids D. harms 53. Which of the following statement does the text support? A. The mice lacking social life lose more weight. B. Levels of brown fat can be increased by socializing. C. Dr Matthew During wasn’t convinced of the result. D. The research findings haven’t been published so far. 54. We can conclude from the text that_________. A. surfing the Internet may influence people’s face-to-face communication B. a sedentary lifestyle and high calories foods influence people’s social life C. the fat in mice’s belly was reduced because of the relaxing environment D. cancer and death are mainly caused for lack of social life 55. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Brown fat is beneficial to people’s health. B. Socializing is unnecessarily important in people’s daily life. C. White fat can be changed into brown fat. D. Socializing contributes to people’s losing weight. 【答案】51. D 52. C 53. B 54. A 55. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项关于减肥的研究。科学家称社交和与朋友聚会有助于增加体内褐色脂肪的水平，这种脂肪通过燃烧卡路里产生热量。并且以小老鼠的例子告诉人们应该积极参加社交活动多锻炼，而不是总是呆着不动。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“US researchers say that social excitement catalyzes weight loss by turning white fat into brown. White fat stores calories and makes us fatter while brown burns energy to produce heat.”（美国研究人员称，社交兴奋会把白色脂肪变成棕色脂肪，从而促进减肥。白色脂肪储存卡路里，使我们变胖，而棕色脂肪燃烧能量产生热量）可知，棕色脂肪可以燃烧能量产生热量。故选D项。 【52题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“White fat stores calories and makes us fatter while brown burns energy to produce heat.”（白色脂肪储存卡路里，使我们变胖，而棕色脂肪燃烧能量产生热量）可知，此处为美国研究人员称，社交兴奋会把白色脂肪变成棕色脂肪，从而促进减肥。故可猜测划线单词catalyzes为“促进”的意思，结合选项C项aids“帮助，促进”意思一致。故选C项。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“However scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown.”（然而，俄亥俄州立大学的科学家们现在认为，忙碌的社交生活是将白色脂肪转化为棕色脂肪的更有效方式）推知，文章支持社交活动可以增加褐色脂肪的水平的说法。故选B项。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing he added “It’s not just a sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle and high calorie foods but an increasing lack of social activities.”（在解释新技术如何威胁到面对面的社交活动时，他补充说：“这不仅仅是久坐不动的生活方式和高热量的食物，而是越来越缺乏社交活动）推知，从文章中我们可以得出结论，上网可能会影响人们面对面的交流。故选A项。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending hours doing some exercises according to scientists. They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories to produce heat.”（科学家称，与花几个小时做运动相比，与许多朋友保持忙碌的社交生活可能会让人保持苗条。他们说，社交和与朋友会面有助于增加体内棕色脂肪的水平，棕色脂肪可以燃烧卡路里产生热量）可知，文章的主旨是社交有助于人们减肥。故选D项。 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共35分) 第三部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Computers, smartphones, and audio players are an essential part of students’ everyday lives. That means that whenever students are doing homework, they are going to be faced with the problem of using their devices for purposes other than learning. Instead of concentrating on one task, they are performing multiple tasks. According to the research by Larry Rosen, published in the journal Computers in Human Science, students spend up to 45% of their homework time on various tasks unrelated to their studies. Students often get distracted by their phones or use their laptops for unauthorized activities. Often, students think that they are able to multitask effectively, without sacrificing their studies. However, the research shows that it is true in only 5% of all cases. But why do teenagers multitask? The answer is simple: multitasking makes us feel good. As the research indicates, the entertainment gained from secondary activities during studies makes learners feel better emotionally. Watching TV or talking to your friends by email is pleasant and helps students fight boredom while doing homework or listening to a lecture they find boring. Another reason why students multitask is that they simply do not see the negative impact it has on their coursework. Teenagers often overrate their abilities. The seemingly tiny distractions, however, result in a constant need to switch focus and sort out information, injuring the brain by overuse and making the process inefficient. However, the effects of multitasking are not entirely negative. The research conducted by HKU indicates that people who routinely multitask are able to use their senses in conjunction more easily. Other research also shows that multitasking has a positive effect on the ability to pass judgment and solve problems quickly and efficiently. 56. What does the research by Larry Rosen tell us? (No more than 12 words) ______________________________________________________________ 57. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “unauthorized” in Paragraph 2? (No more than 3 words) ______________________________________________________________ 58. According to the text, why do teenagers multitask? (No more than 12 words) ______________________________________________________________ 59. Why are the effects of multitasking not entirely negative? (No more than 12 words) ______________________________________________________________ 60. Will you choose to multitask when doing homework? Why or why not? (No more than 25 words) ______________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Students spend up to 45% of their homework time on multitasking. 57. Unlicensed/ without official permission. 58. Because they feel good and not aware of the negative impact. 59. Having a positive effect on passing judgment and solving problems. 60. No. Because multitasking will make it difficult for me to concentrate and efficiently completing my homework within the time limit. 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要说明了通常情况下多任务会导致学生分心，以及学生选择多任务的原因。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“According to the research by Larry Rosen, published in the journal Computers in Human Science, students spend up to 45% of their homework time on various tasks unrelated to their studies.(根据Larry Rosen发表在《计算机与人文科学》杂志上的研究，学生将高达45%的家庭作业时间花在与学习无关的各种任务上。)”可知，其研究告诉我们，学生将高达45%的家庭作业时间花在与学习无关的各种任务上。故答案为Students spend up to 45% of their homework time on multitasking. 【57题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据划线单词上一句“According to the research by Larry Rosen, published in the journal Computers in Human Science, students spend up to 45% of their homework time on various tasks unrelated to their studies.(根据Larry Rosen发表在《计算机与人文科学》杂志上的研究，学生将高达45%的家庭作业时间花在与学习无关的各种任务上。)”以及“Students often get distracted by their phones(学生们经常被手机分散注意力)”可推断，学生们经常用笔记本电脑做不被许可的事情。所以unauthorized为“未经允许的”之意。故答案为Unlicensed/ without official permission. 【58题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章第三段“But why do teenagers multitask? The answer is simple: multitasking makes us feel good.(但是为什么青少年会一心多用呢？答案很简单：多任务处理让我们感觉良好。)”以及第四段“Another reason why students multitask is that they simply do not see the negative impact it has on their coursework.(学生多任务的另一个原因是他们根本没有看到它对他们的课程的负面影响。)”可知，学生会进行多任务处理的原因是因为那让他们感觉良好，同时忽视了多任务对自己课程的负面影响。故答案为Because they feel good and not aware of the negative impact. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段“However, the effects of multitasking are not entirely negative. The research conducted by HKU indicates that people who routinely multitask are able to use their senses in conjunction more easily. Other research also shows that multitasking has a positive effect on the ability to pass judgment and solve problems quickly and efficiently.(然而，多任务处理的影响并不完全是负面的。香港大学进行的这项研究表明，经常处理多项任务的人更容易运用他们的感官。其他研究也表明，多任务处理对快速有效地做出判断和解决问题的能力有积极影响。)”可知，研究表明，经常进行多任务处理的人更容易运用他们的感官而且也能更快速有效地做出判断和解决问题，即对判断和解决问题有积极的影响。故答案为Having a positive effect on passing judgment and solving problems. 【60题详解】 开放题。要求考生，考生言之有理即可。故参考答案为No. Because multitasking will make it difficult for me to concentrate and efficiently completing my homework within the time limit. 第二节：书面表达(满分25分) 61. 假定你是晨光中学的李津。你在校报英语专栏看到了学校“英语文化节”在招募志愿者，为“Talent Show, Speech Contest”和“English Debate”等活动提供志愿服务，请根据写作要点写一封应征邮件。 写作要点： (1)表明写信意图； (2)陈述应征目的； (3)说明应征条件(性格、能力等)。 注意： (1)词数：100词左右； (2)可适当加入细节，以使内容充实、行文连贯； (3)请勿提及与考生身份相关的信息。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Sir/Madam, I’m Li Jin from Chenguang Middle School.

B Jake and Max Klein were 4 years old when they first realized there was a world in need outside the front door of their home in Edgewater, New Jersey. The twin brothers took all of the money out of their piggy banks and asked their parents, Mark Klein and Sandy Rubinstein, if they could buy birthday gifts for kids who weren’t expecting any. Then, at age 6, the boys announced that they wanted money usually spent on their birthday presents to go to charitable donations. They bought computers for police officers, and they sold cookies to raise money for sick children. Then they learned at age 8 that they were too young to volunteer at their town’s soup kitchen. “That’s when we decided we’d have to come up with a way to take things into our own hands,” Jake, now 15 says. “We thought, ‘What can we do to show that kids are able to make a difference and do more than is expected?’” Last year, he and Max, now going into the 10th grade at Leonia High School, started Kids That Do Good, a nonprofit (非营利性的) website that lists hundreds of ways for young people to get involved in charitable work, coast-to-coast. It’s a lesson that has caught on with many, including 9-year-old Sophia Somerstein, who lives near the Kleins in New Jersey. “Max and Jake encouraged me to help collect food and I really loved the feeling of making somebody’s life better,” she says. “Now this summer, I want to help people around me, and I hope I can teach other kids, too. It’s cool that kids just like me can do something to help others.” The Kleins recently started a challenge for kids registered (注册) on their website (about 3,000 so far) to track their volunteer hours, with the goal of topping 100,000 by the end of 2019. “Someday, we’d love to reach a million hours,” notes Max, who hopes to continue running Kids That Do Good with Jake when they both go off to college. 41. What can we learn about the Kleins when they were kids? A. They loved to help others. B. They were in need of help. C. They found it easy to collect money. D. They always gave their parents presents. 42. When did the Kleins decide to create a way to show kids are helpful? A. When they used up all the money in the piggy bank. B. When they were refused by the soup kitchen. C. When they raised money for the government. D. When they found there was a world in need. 43. Why did the Kleins start a website? A. To share wonderful kids’ stories. B. To raise money for young people. C. To encourage others to give back. D. To discover kids’ natural abilities. 44. What do Somerstein’s words show about the Kleins? A. She is worried about them. B. She speaks highly of them. C. She wants to challenge them. D. She loves teaching for them. 45. What can we infer about the Kleins’ website? A. It is developing fast. B. It faces an uncertain future. C. It has made millions of dollars. D. It has covered the whole world. C It is sometimes jokingly said that you may skip a meal a day without any adverse effect but skip using your WeChat for an hour and you will feel distinctly unwell. It is an acknowledgement of the fact that the app is no longer only a fun tool but an essential part of life for millions. Launched in January 2011, this messaging, social media and mobile payment app today has more than 1 billion individual users. People use it for everything, from applying for a business license to booking a hospital appointment to keeping up with family and friends, shopping and paying bills—activities that are part and parcel of our everyday life. When it was first introduced, WeChat was only an app supporting voice, video, picture and text messages between two persons or among a group. But today it has become ubiquitous. In the past, people carried their wallet and keys with them wherever they went; today, a smart phone with WeChat installed is all they need in daily life. Its functions like Moments and mini programs and the official WeChat accounts of government agencies and companies have made communication and public services accessible and convenient like never before. WeChat is also widely used by enterprises. Figures from Tencent show there are around 15 million WeChat official accounts, which enjoy 5 billion followers. Most businesses use their WeChat groups as a standard marketing kit. This has immensely reduced advertising, marketing and communication costs, and in the background of the novel coronavirus disease, made operations faster, contactless and safe. However, there are concerns about the downsides of WeChat, such as addiction among primary school children. Equally serious is the misuse of WeChat for fraud or instigating crimes. However, it has to be kept in mind that these fallouts are not really the fault of WeChat, but due to the misuse of the app. If we learn to temper our use of messaging apps with prudence and pragmatism, we could be looking forward to yet new conveniences and experience in this decade with the rapid development of 5G technology and artificial intelligence. Ultimately, the choice is ours, whether to use WeChat or any other new invention, wisely or wantonly. 46. We can conclude from the first paragraph that ___________. A. we can easily skip a meal a day. B. we will be ill by not using WeChat. C. WeChat used to be meant for fun. D. WeChat has become inseparable in daily life. 47. The underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 3 probably has the same meaning as ____________. A. everywhere. B. somewhere. C. nowhere. D. wherever. 48. For what reasons do the government agencies choose to use WeChat? A. WeChat has a mobile payment function. B. The agencies provide better service through WeChat. C. Mini programs are convenient for the agencies. D. People do not have to carry keys and cash with them. 49. What benefits does WeChat bring to the businesses? A. It has brought more followers. B. It has become a standard. C. It has helped to cut down the costs. D. It has made the businesses healthier. 50. What is to be remembered when we look at the downsides of WeChat? A. WeChat should be held responsibly. B. WeChat should be banned among primary school children. C. The improper use of the app leads to many problems. D. The 5G technology will bring new conveniences and experience. D Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending hours doing some exercises according to scientists. They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories to produce heat. Living in an exciting social environment was found to reduce fat in mice’s belly by half over four weeks even if they ate more. US researchers say that social excitement catalyzes weight loss by turning white fat into brown. White fat stores calories and makes us fatter while brown burns energy to produce heat. Turning white fat into brown is extremely difficult normally requiring long-term stay in cold conditions or exciting part of the body’s nervous system. However scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown. The team came up with their theory by studying the effects of various living environments on mice. Those who lived alongside a greater number of mice had more space and toys to excite themselves and then lost far more weight over the course of the study than their “couch potato“ fellows. Study author Dr Matthew During whose team’s findings appear in the journal Cell Metabolism said “I’m still amazed at the degree of fat loss that occurs.” Explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing he added “It’s not just a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle and high calorie foods but an increasing lack of social activities.” Co-author Dr Lei Cao said, “Loneliness is a potential factor for cancer and death; it’s equal to cigarette smoking to a certain extent. Social activities are very vital.” 51. What information can we get from the first two paragraphs? A. It doesn’t take long to turn white fat into brown. B. Brown fat stores calories and makes us fatter. C. Social excitement helps gain more weight. D. Brown fat can burn energy to produce heat. 52. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in paragraph 2? A. destroys B. relieves C. aids D. harms 53. Which of the following statement does the text support? A. The mice lacking social life lose more weight. B. Levels of brown fat can be increased by socializing. C. Dr Matthew During wasn’t convinced of the result. D. The research findings haven’t been published so far. 54. We can conclude from the text that_________. A. surfing the Internet may influence people’s face-to-face communication B. a sedentary lifestyle and high calories foods influence people’s social life C. the fat in mice’s belly was reduced because of the relaxing environment D. cancer and death are mainly caused for lack of social life 55. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Brown fat is beneficial to people’s health. B. Socializing is unnecessarily important in people’s daily life. C. White fat can be changed into brown fat. D. Socializing contributes to people’s losing weight. 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共35分) 第三部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Computers, smartphones, and audio players are an essential part of students’ everyday lives. That means that whenever students are doing homework, they are going to be faced with the problem of using their devices for purposes other than learning. Instead of concentrating on one task, they are performing multiple tasks. According to the research by Larry Rosen, published in the journal Computers in Human Science, students spend up to 45% of their homework time on various tasks unrelated to their studies. Students often get distracted by their phones or use their laptops for unauthorized activities. Often, students think that they are able to multitask effectively, without sacrificing their studies. However, the research shows that it is true in only 5% of all cases. But why do teenagers multitask? The answer is simple: multitasking makes us feel good. As the research indicates, the entertainment gained from secondary activities during studies makes learners feel better emotionally. Watching TV or talking to your friends by email is pleasant and helps students fight boredom while doing homework or listening to a lecture they find boring. Another reason why students multitask is that they simply do not see the negative impact it has on their coursework. Teenagers often overrate their abilities. The seemingly tiny distractions, however, result in a constant need to switch focus and sort out information, injuring the brain by overuse and making the process inefficient. However, the effects of multitasking are not entirely negative. The research conducted by HKU indicates that people who routinely multitask are able to use their senses in conjunction more easily. Other research also shows that multitasking has a positive effect on the ability to pass judgment and solve problems quickly and efficiently. 56. What does the research by Larry Rosen tell us?
