It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless and religious mother. “Don't cry, Trevor. Trevor, listen. Listen to me.

One day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer.This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.
In the library，I found my way into the “Children's Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random.The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him.I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog.I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Beagle with a Plan.Unknowingly，I had read the title.Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos.I read very，very slowly with difficulty.Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home.That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book.At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together.
My mother's call returned me to the real world.I suddenly realized something: I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book.Everyone knew I could not read.But I had read it.Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous”(奇迹般地)experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.And years later，she was proud that her son had read thousands of books，was awarded a PhD in literature，and authored his own books，articles，poetry and fiction.The power of the words has held.
24. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to ________.
A．encourage him to do more walking
B．let him spend a meaningful summer
C．help cure him of his reading problem
D．make him learn more about weapons

B．He identified with the story in the book.

24. C. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.”可知，妈妈让作者去图书馆借书是为了解决他的阅读障碍，故C项正确。
25. A. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.”可知，这本书之所以吸引作者的眼球是因为这本书的封面上有一只小猎犬，这只小猎犬和作者小时候养的狗一样，故A项正确。
26. B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book.At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together.”可知，作者和自己的小猎犬的故事与书中的故事有着相似的经历，这吸引他读完这本书，故B项正确。

The health benefits of staying active are already well－known. It can help you manage weight, keep blood sugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.
Now, a new study suggests that regularly playing sports, especially badminton or tennis, is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death, at any age, by approximately 50%. This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate. The study evaluated responses from 80, 306 adults aged 30 and above in England and Scotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.
After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besides the named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didn’t. The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be: 47% for racket(球拍) sports, 28% for swimming and 15% for cycling.
In addition to this, the study didn’t find any significant reduction in the risk for sports like running and football. The findings also exposed that over 44% of the participants met the guidelines for the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy, which amounts to 150 minutes of moderate(适度的) physical activity in a week.
Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead? Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.
Being active helps you feel happier and live longer. So, the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term.
28. How is the study conducted?
A. By doing comparative experiments.
B. By analyzing previous data.
C. By evaluating survey information.
D. By tracking participants for a long time.
29. What does the underlined part “the named sports” refer to?
A. Ball sports. B. Racket sports.
C. Individual sports. D. Traditional sports.
30. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A. Few people will play football.
B. Tennis will become more popular.
C. The result of this study is wrong.
D. The study needs to be further improved.
31. What does the author advise people to do?
A. Stick to any sport that you like.
B. Play badminton and tennis only.
C. Stop running and playing football.
D. Do any sport according to guidelines.
答案与解析 28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，羽毛球和网球这样的球拍类运动最有助于减少死亡率，只要长期坚持喜欢的运动，保持积极心态，都会使你感到幸福。
28. 答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The study evaluated responses from 80，306 adults aged 30 and above in England and Scotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.”可知，这个研究是通过评估调查问卷来进行的。故选C项。
29. 答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。第二段开头提到打羽毛球和网球对减少死亡率的巨大作用，接下来的介绍用调查研究来证明这个结论。根据第三段的“After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise”可知，研究中评估了参与实验人员的年龄、性别、体重、吸烟习惯、饮酒、受教育程度以及包括指定运动在内的其他运动形式等因素。由此可知画线部分指的是第二段段首提到的羽毛球和网球，再根据下文“47% for racket sports，”可知， the named sports指的就是羽毛球和网球。故选B项。
30. 答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.”可知，这个研究没有发现跑步和足球明显的好处，可能是由于几个没有考虑到的变量造成的。这说明，这个研究还是有不足之处，研究需要进一步改善。故选D项。
31. 答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term”可知，作者建议人们喜欢什么运动项目就参与什么项目，只要长期坚持就好。故选A项。
D
If businesses are to get those workers unwilling to go back to work to their position, finding ways to keep people who work together or meet at social gatherings between 2 to more than 2 meters will be the issue that needs handling badly. An Israeli company thinks it can help, using smart sensors hung on workplace ceilings.
PointGrab developed its technology before the pandemic to help workspace managers optimize (优化)how employees use office space. About the size of a smoke alarm, the sensors can record the exact number and location of people in buildings including offices, hotels and restaurants.
One of the company’s first clients was Deloitte, which installed the system at its flagship London office last year, Point Grab's sensors were connected to screens in the building to show the availability of desks and shared areas in real time. PointGrab CEO Doron Shachar says it was one of a range of innovations that helped Deloitte fit 30% more people into 3% less space.
Now PointGrab has adapted the technology so the sensors can also monitor social distancing by keeping track of how far apart people are, and whether they're traveling in one direction around a building. Workspace managers can set up alerts for when two people are closer than two meters for more than 30 seconds, for example.
The sensors have been included in the "six feet office" concept created by real estate services company Cushman & Wakefield to encourage employees to practice social distancing. They are currently being used in this way at a university in the Netherlands, and at an innovation hub in Belgium.
While the social distancing innovation is new, PointGrab has deployed more than 10, 000 sensors for workspace optimization, including in the offices of Coca-cola, Facebook and Dell.
Workers might not like the idea, but PointGrab says no images or identifying features are recorded. Instead, each employee is represented as an anonymous dot on a dashboard. "The sensor does not violate people's privacy, Shachar says. " This is extremely important in the workspace.”
32. What is the key to getting the workers back into the office now?
A.Maintaining social distance B.Minding their own business
C.Offering more social interactions D.Keeping workplace ceilings clean
33. What does the underlined word "deployed " in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Delayed B.Inserted C.Chaired D.Fixed
34. What can workers expect of smart sensors according to the text?
A.They could stop the viruses from spreading
B.They may help reduce energy consumption
C.They can protect their privacy effectively.
D.They will help record their images clearly
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Smart Sensors-a Way to Monitor the Workers in the Office
B.Smart Sensors - Tool to Track Social Distancing in the Office
C.PointGrab -a Pioneer to Use Smart Sensors in the Office
D. 2 or more than 2 Meters-a Suitable Social Distancing
答案：32.A; 33.D; 34.C; 35.B
解析：32.细节理解题。根据第一段 If businesses are to get those workers unwilling to go back to work to their position, finding ways to keep people who work together or meet at social gatherings between 2 to more than 2 meters will be the issue that needs handling badly.可知,疫情之下,如果企业想把不情愿复工的员工拉回办公室,找到保持社交距离的方法很关键。
33.词义猜测题。根据语境可知,尽管这一社交隔离创新项目刚出不久,Point Grab已经在可口可乐、 脸书和戴尔等公司的办公室安装了超1万台传感器来优化办公空间利用率。
34.推理判断题。根据最后一段 “The sensor does not violate people’s privacy,” Shachar says. “This is extremely important in the workspace. ”可知,沙哈尔说:"传感器不会侵犯人们的隐私,这一点在职场极为重要。”,因此工人们希望使用这种设备时要保护好他们的隐私。
35.主旨大意题。如何保证员工在办公室保持社交距离?以色列一家公司的智能传感器可以帮管理者解决这一难题。只要在天花板上安装这一传感器,就能跟踪记录人与人之间的距离,当间距过小时还能发警报提醒。因此本文主要介绍了使办公室员工保持良好社交距离更容易的智能传感器。

In some schools, structured character education is a part of the curriculum, right alongside reading, writing, and math. ____36____ .

Children also need to learn that when they violate your family's guiding ethics, you will carry out consequences with fairness and dignity. Always take the opportunity to explain why your child's behavior is wrong when you correct him.
Make a habit of identifying in your own mind the value you wish to teach the child based on the particular behavior. Choose a consequence that is appropriate to teach that value.
Tell stories from literature and life
Parents and teachers used stories to teach moral lessons long before books were even invented. As you tell the stories of your life and the world around you, you convey lessons in values and ethics to your children.

【答案】36. E 37. G 38. C 39. B 20. D
【解析】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了是父母在塑造孩子品格方面起的作用和可以使用的方法。
【36题详解】
空前一句“In some schools, structured character education is a part of the curriculum”提到，在一些学校，结构化的品格教育是课程的一部分，从下文“The qualities of character develop through an interaction of family, school, and community influences and the child's individual personality, experiences, and choices.”可以得出，品格的发展是通过家庭、学校和社区的影响以及孩子个人的个性、经历和选择的相互作用而形成的，所以E项“然而，培养孩子的性格不仅仅发生在教室里”符合语境，与空前形成转折关系，又能够引出下文，故选E项。
【37题详解】
从上一句中的“Parents have many opportunities and tools to build their children’s character.”可以得出，父母有很多机会和工具来培养孩子的性格，结合下文介绍的各种方法可知，G项“使用它们会带来看到孩子成长时的愉快和满足”符合语境，G项中的them指代空前一句中的“opportunities and tools”。故选G项。
【38题详解】
空前一句“Imagine you are honest, trustworthy, fair, compassionate, respectful, and involved in the greater good of your family and community.”提到，想象一下，你诚实、值得信赖、公平、富有同情心、尊重他人，为家庭和社区带来更大的利益。从下文“They will also see that this behavior brings a sense of joy, satisfactions, and peace to their family.(他们也会看到这种行为给他们的家庭带来了喜悦、满足和和平。)”中的关键词also可以得出，空处也是讲述孩子会看到父母好的一面，C项“你的孩子会在你的日常行为和选择中看到这一点”符合语境，故选C项。
【39题详解】
空处是段落标题。从下文“Always take the opportunity to explain why your child’s behavior is wrong when you correct him.(当你纠正孩子的行为时，一定要抓住机会向他解释为什么他的行为是错误的)以及“ to teach the child based on the particular behavior.”（根据特定的行为来教孩子）可以概括出，本段主要讲述要在适当的时机来教育孩子，B项“利用可教的时刻来塑造性格”符合语境。故选B项。
【40题详解】
从本段的小标题“Tell stories from literature and life”可知，要讲述来自文学和生活的故事，结合“As you tell the stories of your life and the world around you, you convey lessons in values and ethics to your children.”可知，当你讲述你的生活故事和你周围的世界时，你也在向你的孩子传授价值观念和道德观念，所以D项“注意你的孩子在听你给其他成年人讲的故事”符合语境，D项中的“the stories you tell other adults”与下文的“These anecdotes”相呼应。故选D项。

【解析】本文为说明文。介绍了中国传统节气——冬至。

【62题详解】
考查词性转换。句意：冬至也标志着一年中最冷的季节的到来。根据空格前面的定冠词the可知，此处要用名词形式。故填arrival。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：早在周朝，人们在冬至的第一天，也就是新年的第一天祭神。此处为非限制性定语从句，关系词代替the Winter Solstice，在从句中作主语。故填which。

How to Communicate with Our Parents
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Many teenagers nowadays find it hard to get along with their parents. I can offer some useful suggestions based on my own experience. First, we must respect and trust our parents. Parents love us and often try to prevent us from making mistakes that seem obvious to them. Besides, we should often communicate with our parents if possible. Sometimes, parents cares too much about us in our daily life and put too much pressure on our study, which makes us stressed. So, it is better to chat with them and let them know about our study and life. Most importantly, we teenagers should understand our parent’s feelings and try hard to live up to their expectations. I hope these can be of some help the teenagers who are bothered by the problem.

Nothing in this world can be achieved without effort．Mozart wasn’t born a composer．He practiced the piano from the age of three and began composing by the age of five．His father，who was also his teacher，was very strict with the boy．
Jimi Hendrix used to walk around his house with a guitar and play up to eight hours a day．As a child，Jimi used to listen to his father’s blues records alone with a broom，pretending to play it like a guitar．Neither of them had their gift just given to them at birth．They had to work hard and discover that they had a gift．And they didn’t just make do with what they had after that．They kept at it．Hendrix didn’t even know how to read music，so everything he learned，he learned through listening．
Another example is Albert Einstein，the father of modern physics．He was told that he would never be a success at anything．No one wanted to hire him after he graduated from college．But he believed in himself，and he persevered with his studies on his own．
Now，I’m not trying to say that everyone can be a Mozart or an Einstein if they just put in a lot of time doing something．But with effort and passion，one can achieve a great deal．Without those things，you’re not going to achieve much．Luck comes to those who prepare for it．If you do something you love，don’t let little bumps along the road stop you．

Born a Crime is the story of a naughty young boy in South Africa, who grows into a restless young man, the author of the book, as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless and religious mother. “Don't cry, Trevor. Trevor, listen. Listen to me. Listen.” “My child, you must look on the bright side.” It was Mother's faith and positive attitude that shaped the young man.

细节理解题。由Born a Crime下的“Born a Crime is the story of a naughty young boy in South Africa, who grows into a restless young man, the author of the book, as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist.”（《天生罪犯》讲述的是南非一个淘气的小男孩成长为一个躁动不安的年轻人的故事，作为这本书的作者，他努力在一个他不应该存在的世界里找到自己。），How It Feels to Float下的“If you're looking for a moving story that explores themes of mental illness, grief (悲痛), and love, pick up a copy of How It Feels to Float and follow Biz as she comes of age.”（如果你正在寻找一个感人的故事，探讨精神疾病、悲伤和爱的主题，那就拿起一本《漂泊的感觉》吧，跟着比兹长大。），Two Can Keep a Secret下的“Put on your crime-solving cap and get swept away in this thriller about a girl, a boy, and a string of unsolved murders.”（戴上你的破案帽，在这部关于一个女孩，一个男孩，和一连串未解的谋杀案的惊悚中一网打尽。），Dune下的“The story of centuries-old political plotting — about warring factions (派系) battling over control of the extremely valuable planet Arrakis — is a classic and remains a wonderful introduction to the larger, more complex world of science fiction just beyond the Star Wars trilogies.”（这部有着数百年历史的政治阴谋故事，讲述了交战派系争夺对极为宝贵的阿拉基斯星球的控制权的故事，是一部经典之作，也是对《星球大战》三部曲之外更大、更复杂的科幻世界的精彩介绍。），可知Born a Crime和How It Feels to Float是关于成长的书籍。故选B项。

One day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer.This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.
In the library，I found my way into the “Children's Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random.The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him.I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog.I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Beagle with a Plan.Unknowingly，I had read the title.Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos.I read very，very slowly with difficulty.Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home.That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book.At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together.
My mother's call returned me to the real world.I suddenly realized something: I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book.Everyone knew I could not read.But I had read it.Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous”(奇迹般地)experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.And years later，she was proud that her son had read thousands of books，was awarded a PhD in literature，and authored his own books，articles，poetry and fiction.The power of the words has held.
24. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to ________.
A．encourage him to do more walking
B．let him spend a meaningful summer
C．help cure him of his reading problem
D．make him learn more about weapons
25. The book caught the author's eye because ________.
A．it reminded him of his own dog
B．he found its title easy to understand
C．it contained pretty pictures of animals
D．he liked children's stories very much
26. Why could the author manage to read the book through?
A．He was forced by his mother to read it.
B．He identified with the story in the book.
C．The book told the story of his pet dog.
D．The happy ending of the story attracted him.
27．Which one could be the best title of the passage?
A．My Passion for Reading
B．Mum's Strict Order
C．Reunion with My Beagle
D．The Charm of a Book
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27.D

24. C. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.”可知，妈妈让作者去图书馆借书是为了解决他的阅读障碍，故C项正确。
25. A. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.”可知，这本书之所以吸引作者的眼球是因为这本书的封面上有一只小猎犬，这只小猎犬和作者小时候养的狗一样，故A项正确。
26. B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book.At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together.”可知，作者和自己的小猎犬的故事与书中的故事有着相似的经历，这吸引他读完这本书，故B项正确。
27. D 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了原本阅读有困难的作者通过读一本与自己有着相同经历的书而让自己的阅读水平有了很大的提高，正是因为这本书的魅力才让作者克服了阅读障碍，最终有所成就。故D项作标题最能概括全文内容。

The health benefits of staying active are already well－known. It can help you manage weight, keep blood sugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.
Now, a new study suggests that regularly playing sports, especially badminton or tennis, is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death, at any age, by approximately 50%. This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate. The study evaluated responses from 80, 306 adults aged 30 and above in England and Scotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.
After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besides the named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didn’t. The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be: 47% for racket(球拍) sports, 28% for swimming and 15% for cycling.
In addition to this, the study didn’t find any significant reduction in the risk for sports like running and football. The findings also exposed that over 44% of the participants met the guidelines for the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy, which amounts to 150 minutes of moderate(适度的) physical activity in a week.
Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead? Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.
Being active helps you feel happier and live longer. So, the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term.
28. How is the study conducted?
A. By doing comparative experiments.
B. By analyzing previous data.
C. By evaluating survey information.
D. By tracking participants for a long time.
29. What does the underlined part “the named sports” refer to?
A. Ball sports. B. Racket sports.
C. Individual sports. D. Traditional sports.
30. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A. Few people will play football.
B. Tennis will become more popular.
C. The result of this study is wrong.
D. The study needs to be further improved.
31. What does the author advise people to do?
A. Stick to any sport that you like.
B. Play badminton and tennis only.
C. Stop running and playing football.
D. Do any sport according to guidelines.
答案与解析 28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，羽毛球和网球这样的球拍类运动最有助于减少死亡率，只要长期坚持喜欢的运动，保持积极心态，都会使你感到幸福。
28. 答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The study evaluated responses from 80，306 adults aged 30 and above in England and Scotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.”可知，这个研究是通过评估调查问卷来进行的。故选C项。
29. 答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。第二段开头提到打羽毛球和网球对减少死亡率的巨大作用，接下来的介绍用调查研究来证明这个结论。根据第三段的“After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise”可知，研究中评估了参与实验人员的年龄、性别、体重、吸烟习惯、饮酒、受教育程度以及包括指定运动在内的其他运动形式等因素。由此可知画线部分指的是第二段段首提到的羽毛球和网球，再根据下文“47% for racket sports，”可知， the named sports指的就是羽毛球和网球。故选B项。
30. 答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.”可知，这个研究没有发现跑步和足球明显的好处，可能是由于几个没有考虑到的变量造成的。这说明，这个研究还是有不足之处，研究需要进一步改善。故选D项。
31. 答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term”可知，作者建议人们喜欢什么运动项目就参与什么项目，只要长期坚持就好。故选A项。

If businesses are to get those workers unwilling to go back to work to their position, finding ways to keep people who work together or meet at social gatherings between 2 to more than 2 meters will be the issue that needs handling badly. An Israeli company thinks it can help, using smart sensors hung on workplace ceilings.
PointGrab developed its technology before the pandemic to help workspace managers optimize (优化)how employees use office space. About the size of a smoke alarm, the sensors can record the exact number and location of people in buildings including offices, hotels and restaurants.
One of the company’s first clients was Deloitte, which installed the system at its flagship London office last year, Point Grab's sensors were connected to screens in the building to show the availability of desks and shared areas in real time. PointGrab CEO Doron Shachar says it was one of a range of innovations that helped Deloitte fit 30% more people into 3% less space.
Now PointGrab has adapted the technology so the sensors can also monitor social distancing by keeping track of how far apart people are, and whether they're traveling in one direction around a building. Workspace managers can set up alerts for when two people are closer than two meters for more than 30 seconds, for example.
The sensors have been included in the "six feet office" concept created by real estate services company Cushman & Wakefield to encourage employees to practice social distancing. They are currently being used in this way at a university in the Netherlands, and at an innovation hub in Belgium.
While the social distancing innovation is new, PointGrab has deployed more than 10, 000 sensors for workspace optimization, including in the offices of Coca-cola, Facebook and Dell.
Workers might not like the idea, but PointGrab says no images or identifying features are recorded. Instead, each employee is represented as an anonymous dot on a dashboard. "The sensor does not violate people's privacy, Shachar says. " This is extremely important in the workspace.”
32. What is the key to getting the workers back into the office now?
A.Maintaining social distance B.Minding their own business
C.Offering more social interactions D.Keeping workplace ceilings clean
33. What does the underlined word "deployed " in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Delayed B.Inserted C.Chaired D.Fixed
34. What can workers expect of smart sensors according to the text?
A.They could stop the viruses from spreading
B.They may help reduce energy consumption
C.They can protect their privacy effectively.
D.They will help record their images clearly
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Smart Sensors-a Way to Monitor the Workers in the Office
B.Smart Sensors - Tool to Track Social Distancing in the Office
C.PointGrab -a Pioneer to Use Smart Sensors in the Office
D. 2 or more than 2 Meters-a Suitable Social Distancing
答案：32.A; 33.D; 34.C; 35.B
解析：32.细节理解题。根据第一段 If businesses are to get those workers unwilling to go back to work to their position, finding ways to keep people who work together or meet at social gatherings between 2 to more than 2 meters will be the issue that needs handling badly.可知,疫情之下,如果企业想把不情愿复工的员工拉回办公室,找到保持社交距离的方法很关键。
33.词义猜测题。根据语境可知,尽管这一社交隔离创新项目刚出不久,Point Grab已经在可口可乐、 脸书和戴尔等公司的办公室安装了超1万台传感器来优化办公空间利用率。
34.推理判断题。根据最后一段 “The sensor does not violate people’s privacy,” Shachar says. “This is extremely important in the workspace. ”可知,沙哈尔说:"传感器不会侵犯人们的隐私,这一点在职场极为重要。”,因此工人们希望使用这种设备时要保护好他们的隐私。
35.主旨大意题。如何保证员工在办公室保持社交距离?以色列一家公司的智能传感器可以帮管理者解决这一难题。只要在天花板上安装这一传感器,就能跟踪记录人与人之间的距离,当间距过小时还能发警报提醒。因此本文主要介绍了使办公室员工保持良好社交距离更容易的智能传感器。

____39____
Children also need to learn that when they violate your family's guiding ethics, you will carry out consequences with fairness and dignity. Always take the opportunity to explain why your child's behavior is wrong when you correct him.
Make a habit of identifying in your own mind the value you wish to teach the child based on the particular behavior. Choose a consequence that is appropriate to teach that value.
Tell stories from literature and life
Parents and teachers used stories to teach moral lessons long before books were even invented. As you tell the stories of your life and the world around you, you convey lessons in values and ethics to your children.

【答案】36. E 37. G 38. C 39. B 20. D
【解析】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了是父母在塑造孩子品格方面起的作用和可以使用的方法。
【36题详解】
空前一句“In some schools, structured character education is a part of the curriculum”提到，在一些学校，结构化的品格教育是课程的一部分，从下文“The qualities of character develop through an interaction of family, school, and community influences and the child's individual personality, experiences, and choices.”可以得出，品格的发展是通过家庭、学校和社区的影响以及孩子个人的个性、经历和选择的相互作用而形成的，所以E项“然而，培养孩子的性格不仅仅发生在教室里”符合语境，与空前形成转折关系，又能够引出下文，故选E项。
【37题详解】
从上一句中的“Parents have many opportunities and tools to build their children’s character.”可以得出，父母有很多机会和工具来培养孩子的性格，结合下文介绍的各种方法可知，G项“使用它们会带来看到孩子成长时的愉快和满足”符合语境，G项中的them指代空前一句中的“opportunities and tools”。故选G项。
【38题详解】
空前一句“Imagine you are honest, trustworthy, fair, compassionate, respectful, and involved in the greater good of your family and community.”提到，想象一下，你诚实、值得信赖、公平、富有同情心、尊重他人，为家庭和社区带来更大的利益。从下文“They will also see that this behavior brings a sense of joy, satisfactions, and peace to their family.(他们也会看到这种行为给他们的家庭带来了喜悦、满足和和平。)”中的关键词also可以得出，空处也是讲述孩子会看到父母好的一面，C项“你的孩子会在你的日常行为和选择中看到这一点”符合语境，故选C项。
【39题详解】
空处是段落标题。从下文“Always take the opportunity to explain why your child’s behavior is wrong when you correct him.(当你纠正孩子的行为时，一定要抓住机会向他解释为什么他的行为是错误的)以及“ to teach the child based on the particular behavior.”（根据特定的行为来教孩子）可以概括出，本段主要讲述要在适当的时机来教育孩子，B项“利用可教的时刻来塑造性格”符合语境。故选B项。
【40题详解】
从本段的小标题“Tell stories from literature and life”可知，要讲述来自文学和生活的故事，结合“As you tell the stories of your life and the world around you, you convey lessons in values and ethics to your children.”可知，当你讲述你的生活故事和你周围的世界时，你也在向你的孩子传授价值观念和道德观念，所以D项“注意你的孩子在听你给其他成年人讲的故事”符合语境，D项中的“the stories you tell other adults”与下文的“These anecdotes”相呼应。故选D项。

How to Communicate with Our Parents
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Many teenagers nowadays find it hard to get along with their parents. I can offer some useful suggestions based on my own experience. First, we must respect and trust our parents. Parents love us and often try to prevent us from making mistakes that seem obvious to them. Besides, we should often communicate with our parents if possible. Sometimes, parents cares too much about us in our daily life and put too much pressure on our study, which makes us stressed. So, it is better to chat with them and let them know about our study and life. Most importantly, we teenagers should understand our parent’s feelings and try hard to live up to their expectations. I hope these can be of some help the teenagers who are bothered by the problem.

Nothing in this world can be achieved without effort．Mozart wasn’t born a composer．He practiced the piano from the age of three and began composing by the age of five．His father，who was also his teacher，was very strict with the boy．
Jimi Hendrix used to walk around his house with a guitar and play up to eight hours a day．As a child，Jimi used to listen to his father’s blues records alone with a broom，pretending to play it like a guitar．Neither of them had their gift just given to them at birth．They had to work hard and discover that they had a gift．And they didn’t just make do with what they had after that．They kept at it．Hendrix didn’t even know how to read music，so everything he learned，he learned through listening．
Another example is Albert Einstein，the father of modern physics．He was told that he would never be a success at anything．No one wanted to hire him after he graduated from college．But he believed in himself，and he persevered with his studies on his own．
Now，I’m not trying to say that everyone can be a Mozart or an Einstein if they just put in a lot of time doing something．But with effort and passion，one can achieve a great deal．Without those things，you’re not going to achieve much．Luck comes to those who prepare for it．If you do something you love，don’t let little bumps along the road stop you．
