第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15 小题:每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
From a multi-day hike following the routes of a poet, to a classic climb in the Argentinian Lake District, there are thousands of incredible trails (小路) that allow us to get up close to nature.
Appalachian Trail, United States
Extending for 2,200 miles, the Appalachian Trail is listed as the longest hiking-only footpath in the world. It runs from Springier Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine, passing through some of the most remote country in the United States. That means it’s a hard task, either for those with endless vacation allowance, or walkers looking to do a small piece of a classic route.
The Basho Wayfarer, Japan
This self-guided trip follows a route taken by the poet Matsuo Basho over 300 years ago. The six-day hike starts in Sendai and works its way through the northern Tohoku region, passing through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hiraizumi and along the ancient Dewa Kaido path. With its beech and cherry forests, it finishes at the temple of Yamadera.
Mount Toubkal, Morocco
The path upwards rises from the village of Imlil, passing over a dry river bed before rising sharply through a temple and on towards a large mountain cottage. After overnight here, hikers set off up the snowfield to the peak, where the Atlas Mountains open out and the views are breathtaking. A local guide and muleteers for carrying luggage are a must.
The Dingle Way, Ireland
It is a ring-like path that offers the best way to get under the skin of wild County Kerry in Ireland’s south west. Starting in the town of Tralee, the clockwise path follows narrow roads, taking in the wide sweep of sand at Inch Strand, passing along the cliffltops outside Dingle town and heading around the edge of Mount Brardon, the highest peak on the Dingle Peninsula.
21. What do we know about the Basho Wayfarer?
A. It offers no guide service. B. It was built by a poet.
C. It ends in the northern Tohoku region. D. It is on the world heritage list.
22. Where can hikers enjoy a good view of snow?
A. Appalachian Trail. B. The Basho Wayfarer. C. Mount Toubkal. D. The Dingle Way.
23. What is special about the Dingle Way?
A. It follows a circle path. B. It is the longest in the world.
C. It finishes at Mount Brandon. D. It reaches the highest peak in Ireland.
B
Anthony Doerr’s new bestseller, All the Light We Cannot See, holds special appeal for me. That’s how I would describe it. From the poetic language, to the realization of what the title actually means. that underneath the surface of history, there is light that has not been seen, and stories that have gone untold.
I’m going to be honest---love for this book didn’t hit me straight away. In fact, my first attempt to read it last month ended with me putting it aside and going to find something easier, lighter and less descriptive to read. But this book is built on beautiful imagery. Both in the literal sense-the physical world of 1940s Paris and Germany, and the metaphorical (隐喻性的) sense-scientific and philosophical references to light, to seeing and not seeing, and the differences between the two. It’s a beautiful work of genius, but it does get a little complicated at times.
However, when we get into the meat of this World War II novel, it’s also an upsetting story of a childhood torn apart by war. It’s about Parisian Marie Laure who has been blind since she was six, and a German orphan called Werner who finds himself at the center of the Hitler Youth. Both of their stories are told with sensitivity and sympathy, each one forced down a path by their personal circumstances and by that destructive monster-war.
I think this is the kind of book you will never appreciate if you stop too soon-I learned that lesson. From the first to last page, there is a theme of invisible lines running parallel (平行的) to one another and sometimes, just sometimes, crossing in the strangest way. These two lives we are introduced to seem to be worlds apart, and yet they come together and influence one another. It was this, more than the predictably awful tale of war, that made me feel quite emotional.
24. What does the writer think of the book?
A. Light and easy to read. B. Rich in philosophical ideas.
C. Fascinating but too descriptive. D. Too complicated for its theme.
25. What can we learn about Marie Laure and Werner?
A. The war leads to their sensitivity. B. They know each other at an early age.
C. The Hitler Youth pushes them to grow. D. They both have an uncomfortable childhood.
26. What particularly made the writer’s emotions strong?
A. The book’s dramatic ending. B. The book’s beautiful imagery.
C. The characters’ interconnected destiny. D. The suffering brought by World War II.
27. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To share the writer’s feelings of a book. B. To recommend a delightful bestseller.
C. To tell readers a heartbreaking story. D. To analyze the structure of a book.
C
Did you know that the custom of turning our clocks an hour ahead during the year first originated in World War I? By making the days “longer”, the goal was for households to conserve electricity and other forms of energy like fuel. Recently, the US Senate passed the Sunshine Protection Act. The bill must also go through the House of Representatives before it can be signed by the President. If passed, Daylight Saving Time (DST) could become the permanent system of the time.
Although the specific dates of the time change differ, many countries around the world observe a biannual system of the time. From mid-March to November in the US, most states practice DST by turning the time forward by an hour from the Standard Time (ST), the local time observed in an area.
Though the original purpose of DST was to encourage the conservation of energy, multiple studies suggest that the time shift has not made a significant impact on saving energy costs While legs money is spent on electricity, costs are still likely to rise with the usage of devices such as air conditioners and computers. Research conducted by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine has shown that DST time changes lead to a greater risk of car crashes.
According to researchers, ST is much more closely related to the body’s circadian rhythm (昼夜节律) which regulates our organs as well as our sleep-wake cycle. By permanently living in DST, children would have to get up and be in school long before the sun rises—which could be 9 am in Seattle and other western states!
Proponents argue that because DST maximizes daylight, it encourages safety by lowering crime rates and reducing seasonal depression. DST provides more waking time to enjoy with families and friends, or even to get more work done.
The bill is certainly a hot topic of discussion, but one thing is for sure: everyone is in favor of getting rid of the biannual time switch.
28. What do we know about DST according to researchers?
A. It can make schools start late. B. It helps improve people’s sleeping quality.
C. It increases the possibility of traffic accidents. D. It can reduce the usage of electronic devices.
29. What does the underlined word “proponents” in Paragraph5 refer to?
A. People who are in favor of DST. B. People who are efficient in working
C. People who have seasonal depression. D. People who enjoy the company of friends.
30. What is the author’s attitude towards the biannual time switch?
A. Positive. B. Neutral. C. Unclear. D. Negative.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. The influence of ST B. The significance of ST C. The debate about DST D. The history of DST
D
At its annual general assembly in Vienna last month, the European Geosciences Union (EGU) did something unusual. The chair of*its awards committee, Thomas Blunier, presented a breakdown, by gender, of prize nominees (被提名者) and nominators (提名者) since 2014. The data were revealing. Although women make up37% of the society’s members, they made just 20% of nominations suggesting that women are less likely to nominate than men. The data also showed that people tend to favour their own gender when making nominations-with men most likely to nominate other men.
This is clearly a problem, but awareness of the situation opens the door to fixing it. Although women are still under-represented in EGU nominations, their share of awards is now approaching their representation among EGU members, thanks to corrective measures taken by the organization? s awards committee. The EGU is distinct from most other scientific societies that do not make nomination data public, though it is necessary for the fairness among prizewinners.
Some other efforts are under way to make prizes fairer. In mathematics, for example, the International Mathematical Union has introduced guidelines to make nominators and award-committee members aware of unconscious bias. Many prize nomination forms now include statements encouraging nominators to consider diversity. The committees that award Nobel prizes have told Nature that they are attempting to increase diversity in nominees and that the proportion of women nominated is rising.
Prize-givers need to widen their nomination pools. In 2019, Nature suggested that award organizers might cast their net s wider when seeking nominations by approaching networks that include academies of science in low and middle-income countries. This is still not happening on the scale that it needs to.
Sadly, these measures will not make science prizes match global diversity, at least not straight away. Many prizes are based on work carried out decades ago, when the barriers to entering science were even higher than they are today for people from under-represented groups and countries. At the very least, professional societies must ensure that their nomination pools are representatives of their communities. Greater transparency and a wider, more diverse pool of nominees increase the chance of awards rewarding excellence, rather than enlarging existing networks of fame.
32. What is the purpose of showing the data from the EGU?
A. To show the gender balance among its members.
B. To encourage females to nominate other females.
C. To reflect that women have been ignored in awards.
D. To reveal the significant impact from gender awareness.
33. What efforts have been made to promote the fairness among the prizewinners?
A. Publicizing the nomination data. B. Widening the application pools by nominees.
C. Introducing guidelines on increasing diversity. D. Casting the nets wider when seeking nominations.
34. What does the author hold in the last paragraph?
A. Existing nomination pools are not transparent. B. Professional societies must make a difference.
C. The barriers to entering science will not be higher. D. Science has kept up with global trend of diversity
35. Which of the following might be the best title for this text?
A. European Geosciences Union: An Nontraditional Model
B. Diversity in Science Prizes: Why is Progress So Slow?
C. Progress in Science: Nomination Shows Justice for All
D. The Way to Gender Diversity: Difficult, Delicate but Destined
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。
It’s always exciting to begin a new job. But among the frenzy (激动) of meeting new colleagues, starting new projects, and building new skills, there can be a stressful pressure to succeed. A big part of your success is determined by how quickly you are able to digest lots of information, which can be very hard. 36 .
*Manage yourself
When you notice information overload, don’t ignore it and don’t panic. Say to yourself, “I’m in a new job and there is plenty to learn here. It’s okay to feel this way.” 37 Remember that emotions can help you better understand yourself and your values.
*Sort your information
38 . It keeps what it needs more immediately in our short-term memory, and it mixes together information we may need to use in the future to store in our long-term memory. For the information that’s not needed, our brain acts like a garbage management, recycling, and deleting it.
* 39
Organizations often have digital knowledge management systems to store and take important information. You can do the same to reduce brain burden. I recommend creating a Word or Google document in which you write down information that your brain doesn’t need to remember or store.
* Reduce task-switching
Multi-tasking isn’t good for you physically or mentally and is worse for your productivity and cognition (认知). 40 . You can go for longer than that, but be sure to take a break. Focused activity is less taxing than multitasking, but you can’t keep working endlessly.
A. Respond positively
B. Use technology to help
C. That problem is much easier to understand and solve
D. Here are some methods to deal with the information overload
E. For greater results, focus on one task for around 25 minutes
F. Our brain is like a cl ever piece of equipment that “takes in information”
G. This self-talk helps normalize the situation and makes the emotions easier to handle
第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节 (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。
My daughter loved dancing until she didn’t love it. After an 41 first year, I noticed her interest fading week by week. Then one day, she slowly walked to me before class and asked if she could just 42 it.
My first reaction was to advise her to “finish what you start”. 43 , sticking to something difficult can teach perseverance, discipline and confidence. But watching my first grader 44 herself into each ballet position, I started to question how much 45 that “blanket advice” made. Is it really in my kid’s best 46 , or even practical, to make her stick to every commitment through until she reaches a bitter end? What if there are different but 47 valuable qualities, which can be gained by 48 the things that are not right for her.
After a few days’ consideration, she decided dance wasn’t for her —a choice I 49 . Quitting is never a black and white issue. Sometimes, it means 50 a barrier in your way to love something else. In my daughter’s case, ending dance made space for her new hobbies, such as horseback riding and Girl Scouts. She’s into them for now, but it is okay if that 51 changes.
As adults, we are accustomed to 52 the power of saying yes, but what about saying no? The ability to recognize when something isn’t an 53 investment of our time or energy is also important. As my daughter gets older, I want her to feel confident to 54 something that’s no longer meeting her needs. She shouldn’t be held back by the thought that she must finish something at any cost 55 because she has started.
41. A. depressing B. independent C. unbearable D. enthusiastic
42. A. make B. join C. skip D. try
43. A. In addition B. At most C. After all D. By contrast
44. A. addict B. expose C. enjoy D. drag
45. A. time B. sense C. energy D. pity
46. A. honor B. help C. interest D. behavior
47. A. hardly B. equally C. partly D. seemingly
48. A. letting go of B. fixing up C. making up for D. looking up
49. A. suspected B. required C. supported D. regretted
50. A. tolerating B. crossing C. challenging D. clearing
51.A. even B. still C. once D. yet
52. A. stressing B. experiencing C. warning D. ignoring
53. A. appropriate B. unfair C. extra D. informal
54. A. decorate B. abandon C. treasure D. practise
55. A. slightly B. roughly C. nearly D. merely

77.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Why do you want to be a teacher?” I never explain it without the usual obvious reasons, such as my love of children or wanting to make a difference. It was not until I me t Kathy that I truly knew the reason I wanted to be a teacher.
I was running a summer program. A seventh grader, a young girl walked through the door and I thought to myself, “This is going to be a long summer.” She was a student at my school, and I was well aware of who she was even though I was an eighth teacher. Her reserved place in the principal office was well known by the eight teachers as we prepared our sales for those students who were going to need extra attention.
I racked my brain (绞尽脑汁) trying to figure out what I was going to do with her. I usually had my older students act as classroom helpers for the younger grades, so I decided that this would be a good spot for her. Little did I know how that one little decision would change my life.
Kathy transformed before my eyes. She showed love and patience with the children in that classroom. She was responsible and caring and she began referring to those students as “her kids”. I witnessed a natural teacher blooming. I had an unforgettable summer with Kathy.
Soon the school year began and Kathy and I were together again. This time I was her teacher. Kathy continued to volunteer with “her kids” at my after-school program. Her smile was infectious and her sense of humor amazing. Before graduation, Kathy thanked every person there for believing in her and giving her a chance. She was truly grateful. There was not a dry eye on the scene.
We continued to keep in touch when Kathy went to high school and then university. Once she sent a letter to me, thanking me again, for giving her a chance and believing in her. She also stated that she had made her final decision and she was going to be a teacher! I don’t know I could have felt more pride than I did at that moment.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Several years later, I came across Kathy while shopping one afternoon. _____________________________

My dream job
Good morning, everyone. I feel it an honor to address a speech titled “My dream job”.
I have made up my mind to be a lawyer. There are two main reasons for my choice. First, I want to help defend social justice by offering a hand to people who are in need. Second, this is a promising job, which requires constant learning and overall self-development. Although it is difficult to do this job, my sincere eagerness truly motivates me to pursue my dream.
To realize my dream, I will make full use of my leisure time to acquire the essential knowledge and necessary skills. Thank you!
读后续写
Several years later, I came across Kathy while shopping one afternoon. You can imagine her excitement about our encounter. On seeing me, she cried with delight as she always did and gave me a huge smile and bear hug. And my happiness was no less than hers. Later, we shared a dinner. Over the dinner, she caught me up on everything that happened to her. She was a school teacher like me in a local school, getting along well with her kids. We chatted on and on, enjoying a wonderful evening.
Now when I think about why I became a teacher I think of Kathy. She truly loved life and I felt so special to be once a part of her life. I have a picture we took together hanging in my classroom as a daily reminder of why I am there. Whenever there are students testing my patience, I think of Kathy and remember what a difference she made in my life. I wish every teacher a Kathy. I am truly honored and blessed to have her in my life.
