Stopping at a pay phone to call him, I reached into my wallet for a piece of paper with his number on it. Later, when I got to my brother’s place, he told me a woman just called him, saying she ____11____ (find) a wallet. But she didn’t find anything ____12____ could show the owner’s identification but the phone number inside.

Huang volunteered to join the grassroots poverty alleviation (扶贫) effort. She invited experts to tell the villagers ____16____ they could improve production. She persuaded the villagers to expand the planting area and encouraged e-commerce sales. 418 people from 88 households were lifted out of poverty thanks to her efforts. 【答案】14. a 15. are struggling##have been struggling 16. how 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了黄文绣（音译）回到自己的家乡百色，帮助家乡摆脱贫困的故事。 【14题详解】 考查冠词。句意：我来自一个偏远的山村。village“村庄”为可数名词，此处使用了单数，空后形容词remote的首个音素为辅音，所以此处用不定冠词a，表示泛指。故填a。 【15题详解】 考查时态。句意：在那里很多人与贫困作斗争，所以我希望的所有的就是尽自己的一份力量来改善他们的生活。空处在句中为谓语，本句话为直接引语，所以时态可以用现在进行时，也可以表示动作一直以来都在发生，且还将继续持续，所以用现在完成进行时。句子主语“a number of folks”为复数含义，所以助动词也用复数。故填are struggling/ have been struggling。 【16题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：她邀请专家告诉村民们如何提高产量。分析句子可知，空处及之后的内容为动词tell的宾语从句，空处作从句中的方式状语，所以用连接副词how，故填how。 C 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空 Reading is a unique human experience.

Plus, consuming content on a physical page helps the brain make a mental map of the information, which in turn makes it easier to remember details in future. 【答案】17. skimming 18. mentally 19. To make 20. on 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了阅读这一独特的人类体验，提到阅读虽能让我们在精神上穿越时空，但面对难的文本时也会有难度。为使阅读更轻松且有收获，建议尽可能阅读纸质书，并阐述了这样做的原因。 【17题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：只需眼睛扫过一些文字，我们就能在精神上穿越时空。by为介词，后接动名词作宾语，skim的动名词形式为skimming。故填skimming。 【18题详解】 考查副词。句意：只需眼睛扫过一些文字，我们就能在精神上穿越时空。此处修饰动词travel，应用副词形式，mental的副词为mentally，意为“在精神上”。故填mentally。 【19题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了让阅读成为更轻松、更有收获的体验，你最好尽可能阅读纸质书。此处应用动词不定式作目的状语，表示“为了……”，所以用to make，句首首字母大写。故填To make。 【20题详解】 考查介词。句意：这样做的一个原因是，我们的眼睛不太可能略过印刷的文字，而更容易略过屏幕上的文字。on screen为固定短语，意为“在屏幕上”，所以此处用介词on。故填on。 B. 单句填空，在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空(共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 21.

Louis Robinett, a member of the Poole Runners junior athletics club, shaved 13 seconds off the previous world record, which was set in California in 2017, after he crossed the line in 17 minutes and 40 seconds. Louis, who broke the record at the Poole parkrun in Dorset on Saturday, said, “I’m on top of the world right now. It’s a huge deal to break a world record. I couldn’t have done it without the support of my family and the team at Poole Runners.” Louis was accompanied on the parkrun by Dion Garner, a member of his athletics club, as all under-11s in the 5km event must run within arm’s length of an adult. Garner said of Louis’s achievement, “His natural talent, combined with his dedication and spirit, is mind-blowing. He loves the sports and has really practiced a lot.” A spokesman for Poole Runners said, “With his new world record, Louis has raised the bar for young athletes everywhere. This isn’t just a win for Louis, it’s a new benchmark (标准) for youth sports, inspiring children all over the world to aim higher.” Parkrun was started by 13 friends as a weekly event in Bushy Park, southwest London, in 2004. By 2015 more than 80,000 people were gathering in parks around the world each Saturday to participate in a parkrun. Only three years later about a quarter of a million people were taking part in parkruns each week, in 1,500 events spread across 20 countries. In comparison, 48,000 runners took part in the London Marathon this year. 34. What is the previous 5km parkrun world record? A. 17 minutes and 27 seconds. B. 17 minutes and 23 seconds. C. 17 minutes and 40 seconds. D. 17 minutes and 53 seconds. 35. How was Louis after breaking the world record? A. Surprised and thankful. B. Modest and satisfied. C. Grateful and proud. D. Thrilled and shocked. 36. What can we know from Paragraph 4? A. Parkrun is ancient but increasingly popular. B. Standards are needed to make parkrun formal. C. Parkrun originates from pals’ run during the week. D. Over 20 countries are competing to host a parkrun. 【答案】34. D 35. C 36. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述9岁男孩Louis Robinett打破5公里公园跑同年龄组世界纪录的事迹，以及公园跑运动的发展历程。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Louis Robinett, a member of the Poole Runners junior athletics club, shaved 13 seconds off the previous world record, which was set in California in 2017, after he crossed the line in 17 minutes and 40 seconds. (Louis Robinett以17分40秒的成绩冲线，将之前2017年在加州创下的世界纪录缩短了13秒。)”)可知，之前的世界纪录为17分40秒加13秒，即17分53秒。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I’m on top of the world right now. (我现在感觉棒极了。)”以及“I couldn’t have done it without the support of my family and the team at Poole Runners. (没有家人和普尔跑步俱乐部团队的支持，我不可能做到这一点。)”可知，Louis打破纪录后既感到自豪，又对支持者心怀感激。故选C项。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Parkrun was started by 13 friends as a weekly event in Bushy Park, southwest London, in 2004. (2004年，13位朋友在伦敦西南部的布什公园发起了每周一次的公园跑活动。)”可知，公园跑起源于一群朋友每周一次的跑步活动。故选C项。 C Many children’s hospitals already have storytelling programmes that aim to cheer up patients. But new research suggests that storytelling also has physiological benefits. “Until now, the positive evidence for storytelling was based on ‘common sense’ that interacting with the child may distract, entertain and reduce psychological suffering,” said Dr Jorge Moll, of D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR), Brazil. “But there was a lack of a solid scientific basis.” “During storytelling, something happens that we call ‘narrative transportation’. The child, through fantasy, can experience sensations and thoughts that transport him or her to another world, a place that is different from the hospital room, and is, therefore, far from the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization,” says Guilherme Brockington. The team, based at IDOR and the Federal University of ABC, Brazil, studied 81 children between the ages of two and seven, all of whom were in the intensive care unit (ICU) at a hospital in São Paulo. A group of 41 children each had a session with a storyteller, lasting 25 to 30 minutes. A control group of 40 children each had the same amount of time with the same professionals, but they told riddles instead. Before and after the sessions, the team took saliva samples from each child and assessed their pain level. The saliva samples allowed the researchers to measure levels of the hormone cortisol, which is related to stress, and the hormone oxytocin, which plays a role in empathy. Both groups of children benefited from the sessions: they all had less cortisol and more oxytocin in their saliva, suggesting they were less stressed, and they reported less pain and discomfort. However, the results were twice as strong for the storytelling group as the control group. At the end of the sessions, the children also took part in a word-association exercise including words like ‘hospital’, ‘nurse’ and ‘doctor’. The team said that children from the control group said “this is the bad woman who comes to give me an injection” in response to the pictures of a doctor or a nurse, while the storytelling group said “this is the woman who comes to cure me”. “I consider this study to be one of the most important I have participated in, due to its potential direct impact on practices in the hospital environment, aiming at the relief of human suffering. We intend to support volunteering devoted to the noble activity of storytelling, now with more solid scientific evidence,” said Moll. 37. According to the passage, “narrative transportation” indicates children _______. A. feel that they are placed into the world of a story B. fire up their imagination and expand their horizons C. have more empathy with the characters in the stories D. experience the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization 38. In Para.3, the author mainly tells the readers about _______. A. the application of the research B. the purpose of the research C. the limitation of the research D. the process of the research 39. How does the author present the findings of the research? A. By making comparisons. B. By giving definitions. C. By presenting examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 40. Which of the following may be the response from the storytelling group? A. A hospital is the place where I go when I’m very sick. B. A hospital is the place where I get an injection in my arm. C. A hospital is the place where I am taken care of to feel better. D. A hospital is the place where I’ll have to take some medicine. 【答案】37. A 38. D 39. A 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了许多儿童医院已经有了讲故事的节目，旨在让病人开心起来。但新的研究表明，讲故事也有生理上的好处。文章介绍了研究开展的过程、发现以及人们对此的看法。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“During storytelling,something happens that we call 'narrative transportation'.The child, through fantasy,can experience sensations and thoughts that transport him or her to another world, a place that is different from the hospital room,and is, therefore,far from the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization.(在讲故事的过程中,发生了一些我们称之为“叙事运输”的事情。通过幻想,孩子可以体验将他或她带到另一个世界的感觉和想法,一个不同于病房的地方,因此远离不愉快的住院条件。)”可知, “narrative transportation”指的是孩子在听故事的过程中, 远离了不愉快的住院经历,进入到故事的世界,故选A。 【38题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The team, based at IDOR and the Federal University of ABC, Brazil, studied 81 children between the ages of two and seven, all of whom were in the intensive care unit (ICU) at a hospital in São Paulo. A group of 41 children each had a session with a storyteller, lasting 25 to 30 minutes. A control group of 40 children each had the same amount of time with the same professionals, but they told riddles instead. Before and after the sessions, the team took saliva samples from each child and assessed their pain level. The saliva samples allowed the researchers to measure levels of the hormone cortisol, which is related to stress, and the hormone oxytocin, which plays a role in empathy.(该研究小组位于巴西IDOR和巴西ABC联邦大学，研究了81名年龄在2到7岁之间的儿童，他们都在São Paulo的一家医院的重症监护病房。一组有41名儿童，每个人都有一个讲故事的人，持续25到30分钟。对照组的40个孩子和同样的专业人士在一起的时间是一样的，但他们说的是谜语。 在测试前后，研究小组从每个孩子身上提取了唾液样本，并评估了他们的疼痛程度。唾液样本使研究人员能够测量与压力有关的皮质醇激素和催产素激素的水平，催产素在移情作用中发挥作用)”可知，第三段主要说明了研究的过程。故选D。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“However, the results were twice as strong for the storytelling group as the control group. At the end of the sessions, the children also took part in a word-association exercise including words like ‘hospital’, ‘nurse’ and ‘doctor’. The team said that children from the control group said “this is the bad woman who comes to give me an injection” in response to the pictures of a doctor or a nurse, while the storytelling group said “this is the woman who comes to cure me”.(然而，讲故事组的结果是对照组的两倍。在课程结束时，孩子们还参加了单词联想练习，包括“医院”、“护士”和“医生”等单词。研究小组表示，对照组的孩子看到医生或护士的照片后会说“这是来给我打针的坏女人”，而讲故事组的孩子则说“这是来给我治病的女人”)”可推知，作者通过比较展示研究结果。故选A。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The team said that children from the control group said “this is the bad woman who comes to give me an injection” in response to the pictures of a doctor or a nurse, while the storytelling group said “this is the woman who comes to cure me”.(研究小组表示，对照组的孩子看到医生或护士的照片后会说“这是来给我打针的坏女人”，而讲故事组的孩子则说“这是来给我治病的女人”)”可推知，“医院是我被照顾的地方，让我感觉更好”可能是来自讲故事小组的反应。故选C。 D The Land Under the Sea Ten thousand years ago, as the last ice age ended, sea levels around the world were far lower than they are today. Much of the land under both the North Sea to the east of Britain and the English Channel which now separates France and Britain was part of a huge region of forests and grassy plains. Then the climate gradually became warmer and the water trapped in large masses of ice was released. Now the development of advanced sonar (声呐) technology, known as bathymetry, is making it possible to study this flooded landscape in extraordinary detail. A special echo (回声) sounder is fixed to the bottom of a survey ship and it makes wide sweeps across the seabed. While previous technology has only been able to produce two-dimensional images, bathymetry can now use computers, satellite-positioning equipment and special software to create accurate and remarkably detailed maps. For the first time, an ancient riverbed jumps out of the three-dimensional image. The site of pre-historic settlements can now be pinpointed. According to expert Linda Andrews, this technological development is of huge significance. “We now have the ability to map the seabed as accurately as we can map dry land,” she says. Once bathymetric techniques have identified sites where people might have built their homes and villages, divers can be sent down to investigate further. Robot submarines (潜艇) can also be used, and researchers hope they will find stone tools and wood from houses as proof of human activity. The idea shared by many people in Britain of their country as a natural island kingdom will be challenged by the findings: Britain has been inhabited for about 500,000 years and much of this time it has been linked on and off to continental Europe. It remains to be seen how far this new awareness is taken on board, however. In fact, the use of bathymetry will not be limited to the study of lost landscapes and ancient settlements. It will also be vital in finding ships that have been destroyed in accidents. In addition, commercial applications are a real possibility. Aggregates (骨材) for the construction industry are becoming increasingly expensive, and bathymetry can be used to identify suitable sites for digging for this material. Mapping the seabed will also identify places where rare plants and shellfish are living. Digging at such sites should be prevented, either to work for a profit or to make deeper waterways for massive container ships. 41. How does bathymetry work? A. It has an echo sounder placed on the seabed. B. It makes use of a number of different devices. C. It produces two-dimensional images of the sea floor. D. It bases its calculations on the location of construction sites. 42. What does the underlined word “pinpointed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Occupied. B. Adjusted. C. Rebuilt. D. Discovered. 43. The author believes a better understanding of the settlements on the seabed may ________. A. attract investment in the research under the sea B. inspire people to take an interest in modern technology C. adapt the attitudes of the British to their country’s history D. receive confirmation of rebuilding ancient man-made objects 44. We can learn that the use of bathymetry will help to ________. A. identify new species of plants and animals B. provide the precise location of sunken ships C. evaluate the cost of seeking certain resources D. promote the development of deeper waterways 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. C 44. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对先进的声呐技术，也就是水深测量技术的发展和用途进行了详细介绍。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“While previous technology has only been able to produce two-dimensional images, bathymetry can now use computers, satellite-positioning equipment and special software to create accurate and remarkably detailed maps.”（虽然以前的技术只能生成二维图像，但水深测量技术现在可以使用计算机、卫星定位设备和特殊软件来绘制精确而详细的地图。）可知，水深测量技术使用了许多不同的设备来工作。故选B。 【42题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段倒第二句“For the first time, an ancient riverbed jumps out of the three-dimensional image.”（第一次，一个古老的河床从三维图像中跳出来。）可知，史前定居点现在能够被发现了。所以pinpoint的意思是“发现”，与discover同义。故选D。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第三句“The idea shared by many people in Britain of their country as a natural island kingdom will be challenged by the findings”（许多英国人认为他们的国家是一个天然岛屿王国的想法将受到调查结果的挑战）可知，作者相信，对海底定居点的更好理解可能会改变英国人对本国历史的态度。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“It will also be vital in finding ships that have been destroyed in accidents. ”（它对于寻找在事故中被摧毁的船只也至关重要。）可知，使用水深测量将有助于提供沉船的精确位置。故选B。 五、(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项魏多余选项。 In recent years the term “social distancing" has been at the center of public conversation. But it’s not “social” distance but physical separation that we are trying to promote. Preserving social ties — even at a distance — is essential for both mental and physical health. ____45____ Modern technology has provided us with many tools. Not all tools promote social connection equally, however. And often such seemingly small choices can make a big difference between strengthening stronger social connections and giving in to growing social distance. ____46____ When people overestimate the costs or underestimate the benefits of voice-based communication, it can create a misplaced bias (偏见) for text-based media. In one experiment, we tested whether the media through which people interact affect their sense of connection-and how expectations about certain technologies impact the communication media they choose to use. Although voice-based interactions (such as phone calls) can produce stronger connections, text- based media (such as e-mails) are often preferred. We asked participants to connect with someone that they hadn’t interacted with recently, either through e-mail or over the phone. ____47____ They generally assumed that they’d feel more connected when interacting over the phone than over e-mail. But they also predicted that talking on the phone could be more uncomfortable than dashing off an e-mail. Although these participants believed that talking encouraged stronger bonds, most of them said they’d rather send an e-mail than call the person up. Fears about awkwardness push individuals toward text-based methods for communicating. ____48____Then we followed up with them after they had done so. As expected, we found that people did form meaningfully stronger bonds when interacting over the phone than over e-mail. More importantly, though, there was no difference in the amount of discomfort when reconnecting on the phone. The human voice appears to provide benefits for connection. Our work suggests that feelings of social connection are apparently facilitated by one’s voice rather than their keyboard. ____49____ A. So the next time you think about how best to connect, consider calling. B. We again had participants actually connect using either e-mail or phone. C. Participants first predicted what it would be like to get in touch in these two ways. D. When they interact on the phone, they find they are more connected than in real life. E. Those modes of communication are perfect choices at the time of physical distancing. F. Then how might we best stay connected to others while maintaining physical distance? G. Decisions on how to connect tend to be based on expectations of potential pros and cons of the interaction. 【答案】45. F 46. G 47. C 48. B 49. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了所谓社交距离应该是身体上保持距离，而不是没有社会联系 。事实上，保持社会联系对身心都有益，文章认为电话联系要比发邮件更能促进关系。 【45题详解】 根据下文“Modern technology has provided us with many tools.(现代技术为我们提供了许多工具。)”可知，下文介绍的是保持联系的方式。选项F“Then how might we best stay connected to others while maintaining physical distance? (那么我们如何才能在保持身体距离的同时最好地与他人保持联系呢?)”既和第一段的身体距离相呼应，又引出下文，符合文意。故选F。 【46题详解】 根据下文“When people overestimate the costs or underestimate the benefits of voice-based communication, it can create a misplaced bias (偏见) for text-based media.(当人们高估基于语音通信的成本或低估其好处时，就会对基于文本的媒体产生错位的偏见。)”可知，人们会评估联系方式的利弊。选项G“Decisions on how to connect tend to be based on expectations of potential pros and cons of the interaction.(关于如何联系的决定往往是基于对互动的潜在利弊的预期。)”符合下文文意。故选G。 【47题详解】 根据上文“We asked participants to connect with someone that they hadn’t interacted with recently, either through e-mail or over the phone.(我们要求参与者通过电子邮件或电话联系他们最近没有联系过的人。)”可知，这一段提到了参与者。空后“They generally assumed that they’d feel more connected when interacting over the phone than over e-mail.(他们通常认为，通过电话交流比通过电子邮件交流更有联系感。)”可知，空处是问参与者对这两种交流方式的想法。选项C“Participants first predicted what it would be like to get in touch in these two ways.(参与者首先预测了用这两种方式联系会是什么样子。)”指出了联系他人，承上启下。故选C。 【48题详解】 根据下文“Then we followed up with them after they had done so.(然后我们在他们这样做之后跟进。)”可知，空处是让参与者做某件事。选项B“We again had participants actually connect using either e-mail or phone.(我们再次让参与者通过电子邮件或电话联系。)”符合下文的文意，同时和上文保持一致。故选B。 【49题详解】 空处为文章小结，说明文章主要内容。本文首先提出保持社会联系很重要，然后通过实验告诉读者，电话联系要比邮件联系有效得多。选项A“So the next time you think about how best to connect, consider calling.(所以，下次你考虑如何最好地联系时，考虑一下打电话。)”与本文主要内容一致 。故选A。 II卷 六、 阅读表达(共4小题;第70、71小题各2分，第72小题3分，第73小题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Crystal breathed in the sweet January air. It was a cold, sunny day. Sunlight shone between the branches and fell onto the street. It was so quiet, this neighborhood. Wandering down the road at a leisurely pace, Crystal noticed an open curtain in the window of one neighbor. They were busily typing on their home network. Remote workers, obviously. Crystal’s glance shifted to a kid who had just come home from school. He looked down to the cell phone in his hand. “Hey，kid!” Crystal waved. The boy didn’t raise head, some game keeping his attention. Crystal sighed and closed her eyes. It took her back to when she was a little girl back in the late 1980s. Neighbors knew each other by name then. Crystal’s best friend Anne was the next door neighbor. They often played for hours using imaginary names for far-off places, pretending to be or do something they hoped someday they could be or do. Nowadays, to pretend to be somewhere else, you could just click on some random program for a virtual reality video of Italy or Australia, and your wish was instantly satisfied. You could do that alone. And if you needed a person to chat with, you could pick a random person in your interest group online. “You don’t need neighbors anymore,” Crystal commented to herself. And yet, there is so much that can be missed for the simpler times. Those who grow up not knowing the invisible person-to-person simplicity of being a good neighbor, have missed an entire piece in their maturity. It’s not about personal space. It’s about being there for another person. How could a metal chip replace a life? Crystal could never understand. As she turned onto her home sidewalk, she noticed a little girl about 5 years old looking confused and afraid. There was no coat on her thin arms. Must be some neighbor’s girl. Crystal was very concerned. W here were her parents? “Are you alright, honey?” Crystal asked. 50. Why did the boy give no response to Crystal? _____________________________________________________________________________________ 51. What did Crystal do with her next door neighbor in her childhood? _____________________________________________________________________________________ 52. Decide which part of the following statement is wrong. Underline it and explain why. ▶Crystal believed that technology advanced and the relationship with neighbors mattered less than before. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What do you think the relationship between neighbors should be like nowadays?(In about 40 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】50. Because he was playing games. 51. They often played together. 52. Crystal believed that technology advanced and the relationship with neighbors mattered less than before. Crystal believed that technology advanced and the relationship with neighbors as important as before. 53. In my opinion,despite technological advances, neighborhoods should be closer, they should help each other, and they should get together more often. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了Crystal所看到的邻里关系变得冷漠了，科技的进步使得人们都在忙于自己的“网络世界”。Crystal认为，随着科技的进步，与邻居的关系也一如既往地重要。 【50题详解】 考查细节理解题。根据第六段“The boy didn’t raise head, some game keeping his attention.”（男孩没有抬起头，游戏让他保持注意力）可知，为什么男孩对Crystal没有反应的原因是他在玩游戏。故回答为：Because he was playing games. 【51题详解】 考查细节理解题。根据第七段“They often played for hours using imaginary names for far-off places, pretending to be or do something they hoped someday they could be or do.”（他们经常玩上几个小时，用想象中的名字描述遥远的地方，假装自己是或做一些希望有一天能成为或做的事情）可知，Crystal经常和隔壁的邻居玩上几个小时，用想象中的名字描述遥远的地方，假装自己是或做一些希望有一天能成为或做的事情。故回答为：They often played together. 【52题详解】 考查推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Those who grow up not knowing the invisible person-to-person simplicity of being a good neighbor, have missed an entire piece in their maturity. It’s not about personal space. It’s about being there for another person. How could a metal chip replace a life? Crystal could never understand.”（那些在成长过程中不知道做一个好邻居这种看不见的人与人之间的简单关系的人，已经错过了他们成熟的整个过程。这不是私人空间的问题。而是陪在另一个人身边。金属芯片怎么能取代生活呢？Crystal 永远不明白）可知，Crystal认为，随着科技的进步，与邻居的关系也一如既往地重要。故回答为：Crystal believed that technology advanced and the relationship with neighbors as important as before. 【53题详解】 开放性试题。你认为现在的邻里关系应该是怎样的？In my opinion,despite technological advances, neighborhoods should be closer, they should help each other, and they should get together more often. 七．书面表达： 54. 假设你是红星中学学生会主席李华，你校将举办一次主题为“The Secrets of Success”的英语演讲比赛(speech contest)，请你给学校外籍教师Smith女士写一封邀请邮件，邀请她来担任评委并询问是否可以做一个3分钟总结发言(concluding speech)。邮件内容包括： 1. 简单介绍演讲比赛的情况（时间、地点、比赛主题、参赛选手等）； 2. 评委的主要工作职责； 3. 建议她总结陈词的内容。 注意： 1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Ms Smith, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Ms Smith, I’m Li Hua, chairman of the Students’ Union of Hongxing Middle School.

B A nine-year-old boy has set a new 5km parkrun world record for his age group. Louis Robinett, a member of the Poole Runners junior athletics club, shaved 13 seconds off the previous world record, which was set in California in 2017, after he crossed the line in 17 minutes and 40 seconds. Louis, who broke the record at the Poole parkrun in Dorset on Saturday, said, “I’m on top of the world right now. It’s a huge deal to break a world record. I couldn’t have done it without the support of my family and the team at Poole Runners.” Louis was accompanied on the parkrun by Dion Garner, a member of his athletics club, as all under-11s in the 5km event must run within arm’s length of an adult. Garner said of Louis’s achievement, “His natural talent, combined with his dedication and spirit, is mind-blowing. He loves the sports and has really practiced a lot.” A spokesman for Poole Runners said, “With his new world record, Louis has raised the bar for young athletes everywhere. This isn’t just a win for Louis, it’s a new benchmark (标准) for youth sports, inspiring children all over the world to aim higher.” Parkrun was started by 13 friends as a weekly event in Bushy Park, southwest London, in 2004. By 2015 more than 80,000 people were gathering in parks around the world each Saturday to participate in a parkrun. Only three years later about a quarter of a million people were taking part in parkruns each week, in 1,500 events spread across 20 countries. In comparison, 48,000 runners took part in the London Marathon this year. 34. What is the previous 5km parkrun world record? A. 17 minutes and 27 seconds. B. 17 minutes and 23 seconds.

C Many children’s hospitals already have storytelling programmes that aim to cheer up patients. But new research suggests that storytelling also has physiological benefits. “Until now, the positive evidence for storytelling was based on ‘common sense’ that interacting with the child may distract, entertain and reduce psychological suffering,” said Dr Jorge Moll, of D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR), Brazil. “But there was a lack of a solid scientific basis.” “During storytelling, something happens that we call ‘narrative transportation’. The child, through fantasy, can experience sensations and thoughts that transport him or her to another world, a place that is different from the hospital room, and is, therefore, far from the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization,” says Guilherme Brockington. The team, based at IDOR and the Federal University of ABC, Brazil, studied 81 children between the ages of two and seven, all of whom were in the intensive care unit (ICU) at a hospital in São Paulo. A group of 41 children each had a session with a storyteller, lasting 25 to 30 minutes. A control group of 40 children each had the same amount of time with the same professionals, but they told riddles instead. Before and after the sessions, the team took saliva samples from each child and assessed their pain level. The saliva samples allowed the researchers to measure levels of the hormone cortisol, which is related to stress, and the hormone oxytocin, which plays a role in empathy. Both groups of children benefited from the sessions: they all had less cortisol and more oxytocin in their saliva, suggesting they were less stressed, and they reported less pain and discomfort. However, the results were twice as strong for the storytelling group as the control group. At the end of the sessions, the children also took part in a word-association exercise including words like ‘hospital’, ‘nurse’ and ‘doctor’. The team said that children from the control group said “this is the bad woman who comes to give me an injection” in response to the pictures of a doctor or a nurse, while the storytelling group said “this is the woman who comes to cure me”. “I consider this study to be one of the most important I have participated in, due to its potential direct impact on practices in the hospital environment, aiming at the relief of human suffering. We intend to support volunteering devoted to the noble activity of storytelling, now with more solid scientific evidence,” said Moll. 37. According to the passage, “narrative transportation” indicates children _______. A. feel that they are placed into the world of a story B. fire up their imagination and expand their horizons C. have more empathy with the characters in the stories D. experience the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization 38. In Para.3, the author mainly tells the readers about _______. A. the application of the research B. the purpose of the research C. the limitation of the research D. the process of the research 39. How does the author present the findings of the research? A. By making comparisons. B. By giving definitions. C. By presenting examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 40. Which of the following may be the response from the storytelling group? A. A hospital is the place where I go when I’m very sick. B. A hospital is the place where I get an injection in my arm. C. A hospital is the place where I am taken care of to feel better. D. A hospital is the place where I’ll have to take some medicine. D The Land Under the Sea Ten thousand years ago, as the last ice age ended, sea levels around the world were far lower than they are today. Much of the land under both the North Sea to the east of Britain and the English Channel which now separates France and Britain was part of a huge region of forests and grassy plains. Then the climate gradually became warmer and the water trapped in large masses of ice was released. Now the development of advanced sonar (声呐) technology, known as bathymetry, is making it possible to study this flooded landscape in extraordinary detail. A special echo (回声) sounder is fixed to the bottom of a survey ship and it makes wide sweeps across the seabed. While previous technology has only been able to produce two-dimensional images, bathymetry can now use computers, satellite-positioning equipment and special software to create accurate and remarkably detailed maps. For the first time, an ancient riverbed jumps out of the three-dimensional image. The site of pre-historic settlements can now be pinpointed. According to expert Linda Andrews, this technological development is of huge significance. “We now have the ability to map the seabed as accurately as we can map dry land,” she says. Once bathymetric techniques have identified sites where people might have built their homes and villages, divers can be sent down to investigate further. Robot submarines (潜艇) can also be used, and researchers hope they will find stone tools and wood from houses as proof of human activity. The idea shared by many people in Britain of their country as a natural island kingdom will be challenged by the findings: Britain has been inhabited for about 500,000 years and much of this time it has been linked on and off to continental Europe. It remains to be seen how far this new awareness is taken on board, however. In fact, the use of bathymetry will not be limited to the study of lost landscapes and ancient settlements. It will also be vital in finding ships that have been destroyed in accidents. In addition, commercial applications are a real possibility. Aggregates (骨材) for the construction industry are becoming increasingly expensive, and bathymetry can be used to identify suitable sites for digging for this material. Mapping the seabed will also identify places where rare plants and shellfish are living. Digging at such sites should be prevented, either to work for a profit or to make deeper waterways for massive container ships. 41. How does bathymetry work? A. It has an echo sounder placed on the seabed. B. It makes use of a number of different devices. C. It produces two-dimensional images of the sea floor. D. It bases its calculations on the location of construction sites. 42. What does the underlined word “pinpointed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Occupied. B. Adjusted. C. Rebuilt. D. Discovered. 43. The author believes a better understanding of the settlements on the seabed may ________. A. attract investment in the research under the sea B. inspire people to take an interest in modern technology C. adapt the attitudes of the British to their country’s history D. receive confirmation of rebuilding ancient man-made objects 44. We can learn that the use of bathymetry will help to ________. A. identify new species of plants and animals B. provide the precise location of sunken ships C. evaluate the cost of seeking certain resources D. promote the development of deeper waterways 五、(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项魏多余选项。 In recent years the term “social distancing" has been at the center of public conversation. But it’s not “social” distance but physical separation that we are trying to promote. Preserving social ties — even at a distance — is essential for both mental and physical health. ____45____ Modern technology has provided us with many tools. Not all tools promote social connection equally, however. And often such seemingly small choices can make a big difference between strengthening stronger social connections and giving in to growing social distance. ____46____ When people overestimate the costs or underestimate the benefits of voice-based communication, it can create a misplaced bias (偏见) for text-based media. In one experiment, we tested whether the media through which people interact affect their sense of connection-and how expectations about certain technologies impact the communication media they choose to use. Although voice-based interactions (such as phone calls) can produce stronger connections, text- based media (such as e-mails) are often preferred. We asked participants to connect with someone that they hadn’t interacted with recently, either through e-mail or over the phone. ____47____ They generally assumed that they’d feel more connected when interacting over the phone than over e-mail. But they also predicted that talking on the phone could be more uncomfortable than dashing off an e-mail. Although these participants believed that talking encouraged stronger bonds, most of them said they’d rather send an e-mail than call the person up. Fears about awkwardness push individuals toward text-based methods for communicating. ____48____Then we followed up with them after they had done so. As expected, we found that people did form meaningfully stronger bonds when interacting over the phone than over e-mail. More importantly, though, there was no difference in the amount of discomfort when reconnecting on the phone. The human voice appears to provide benefits for connection. Our work suggests that feelings of social connection are apparently facilitated by one’s voice rather than their keyboard. ____49____ A. So the next time you think about how best to connect, consider calling. B. We again had participants actually connect using either e-mail or phone. C. Participants first predicted what it would be like to get in touch in these two ways. D. When they interact on the phone, they find they are more connected than in real life. E. Those modes of communication are perfect choices at the time of physical distancing. F. Then how might we best stay connected to others while maintaining physical distance? G. Decisions on how to connect tend to be based on expectations of potential pros and cons of the interaction. II卷 六、 阅读表达(共4小题;第70、71小题各2分，第72小题3分，第73小题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Crystal breathed in the sweet January air. It was a cold, sunny day. Sunlight shone between the branches and fell onto the street. It was so quiet, this neighborhood. Wandering down the road at a leisurely pace, Crystal noticed an open curtain in the window of one neighbor. They were busily typing on their home network. Remote workers, obviously. Crystal’s glance shifted to a kid who had just come home from school. He looked down to the cell phone in his hand. “Hey，kid!” Crystal waved. The boy didn’t raise head, some game keeping his attention. Crystal sighed and closed her eyes. It took her back to when she was a little girl back in the late 1980s. Neighbors knew each other by name then. Crystal’s best friend Anne was the next door neighbor. They often played for hours using imaginary names for far-off places, pretending to be or do something they hoped someday they could be or do. Nowadays, to pretend to be somewhere else, you could just click on some random program for a virtual reality video of Italy or Australia, and your wish was instantly satisfied. You could do that alone. And if you needed a person to chat with, you could pick a random person in your interest group online. “You don’t need neighbors anymore,” Crystal commented to herself. And yet, there is so much that can be missed for the simpler times. Those who grow up not knowing the invisible person-to-person simplicity of being a good neighbor, have missed an entire piece in their maturity. It’s not about personal space. It’s about being there for another person. How could a metal chip replace a life? Crystal could never understand. As she turned onto her home sidewalk, she noticed a little girl about 5 years old looking confused and afraid. There was no coat on her thin arms. Must be some neighbor’s girl. Crystal was very concerned. W here were her parents? “Are you alright, honey?” Crystal asked. 50. Why did the boy give no response to Crystal? _____________________________________________________________________________________ 51. What did Crystal do with her next door neighbor in her childhood? _____________________________________________________________________________________ 52. Decide which part of the following statement is wrong. Underline it and explain why. ▶Crystal believed that technology advanced and the relationship with neighbors mattered less than before. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What do you think the relationship between neighbors should be like nowadays?(In about 40 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 七．书面表达： 54. 假设你是红星中学学生会主席李华，你校将举办一次主题为“The Secrets of Success”的英语演讲比赛(speech contest)，请你给学校外籍教师Smith女士写一封邀请邮件，邀请她来担任评委并询问是否可以做一个3分钟总结发言(concluding speech)。邮件内容包括： 1. 简单介绍演讲比赛的情况（时间、地点、比赛主题、参赛选手等）； 2. 评委的主要工作职责； 3. 建议她总结陈词的内容。 注意： 1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Ms Smith, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
