阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
Many workers have had no choice but to adapt to working from home in recent months since offices shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠疫情). And the noisy situation and endless housework may result in a terrible emotion. A new option is waiting for you. That is WFH: work from a hotel.
Hotel Figuero
A special program titled Work Perks aims to reposition some of 94-year-old Hotel Figuero’s 268 rooms as day-use offices.
According to Managing Director Connie Wang, the set-up launched in June and is a great opportunity to get out of their houses with high-speed Wi-Fi, unlimited printing privileges and free parking. The 350-square-foot rooms sell for $ 139 per day, with an option to extend to an overnight stay for an additional $ 30.
The Wythe
A boutique hotel in Brooklyn. The hotel recently announced a partnership with co-working office space company Industrious through which it is recycling 13 second-story guest rooms to serve as offices for up to four people.
The Sawyer
The Sawyer, in Sacramento, California, is offering pool cabanas (更衣室) for use as outdoor offices, complete with fast Wi-Fi, free parking and catered lunch for $ 150 per day.
Each of the rooms has a small outdoor platform, and dogs are welcome. Pricing starts at $ 200 and goes up to $ 275, depending on how many people use the space.
Hotels By Day
Yannis Moati founded Hotels By Day back in 2015. That company has grown to include more than 1,500 hotels, and has seen a significant increase in the number of inquiries for day-use bookings lately.
Moati said the current situation will force hotels to upgrade themselves to stay alive, and he predicted that offering rooms for day-use only is one of the directions they will go.
1. How much should one pay for a 24-hour stay in Hotel Figuero?
A. $ 129. B. $ 150.
C. $ 169. D. $ 200.
2. Which hotel allows pets in?
A. The Wythe B. The Sawyer.
C. Hotels By Day. D. Hotel Figuero.
3. What do we know about Yannis Moati?
A. He started a program titled Work Perks.
B. He has upgraded at least 1,500 rooms.
C. He usually predicts everything correctly.
D. He is optimistic about the WFH trend.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Sawyer标题下的“Each of the rooms has a small outdoor platform, and dogs are welcome.(每个房间都有一个小的户外平台，狗也受欢迎)”可知，The Sawyer是允许宠物进入的。故选择B项。

That company has grown to include more than 1,500 hotels, and has seen a significant increase in the number of inquiries for day-use bookings lately.(亚尼斯·莫阿蒂早在2015年就创建了日间酒店。该公司已发展到包括1500多家酒店，并且最近日间租用预订的查询数量显著增加)”可知，亚尼斯·莫阿蒂对于在酒店工作这种趋势是乐观的。故选择D项。
B
A 74-year-old man is pounding the pavement in the hope of finding a kidney for his sick wife. Wayne Winters began walking along the streets near his home in Farr West, Utah early this month with a sandwich board containing an unusual request. “Need Kidney for Wife,” the sign reads. Winters’ phone number and his wife Deanne’s blood type are also included.
Deanne has severe kidney failure and is in need of a transplant. Desperate to do something to help his sick wife, Winters walks along the streets armed with a new suit, and his sign with a plea (恳请) for a kidney. Though he doesn’t walk fast, Winters’ unusual method of tracking down a kidney for Deanne has attracted plenty of attention. In addition to the motorists and passers-by who have seen Winters out walking miles a day, his request for a kidney has now hit the Internet and attracted the attention of millions more people.
Winters said he was inspired to pound the pavement on behalf of his wife after seeing a story online about another man who did the same thing and got national attention. Rush hour is his favorite time to walk up and down the streets because drivers are slowed down.
Though he hasn’t had any success yet, Winters remains confident he will find a kidney for Deanne, and says he won’t rest until he makes it. Winters has stated even after a match for Deanne is found, he will continue to raise awareness about kidney donation because it is now his life mission. In fact, the back of his current sign includes a message aimed at helping others in need. It read, “1,000 kidneys are needed in Utah and Idaho.”
The National Kidney Foundation reports the average wait for an individual’s first kidney transplant is over three and a half years, and can vary depending on health, compatibility (兼容性) and availability of organs. The organization also notes over 3,000 new patients are added to the kidney waiting list each month, and 13 people die each day while waiting for a life-saving kidney transplant.
4. Why is the old man walking along the streets?
A. To help his sick wife. B. To do some exercise.
C. To look for something he has lost. D. To appreciate the sights of the city.
5. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Winters will continue raising awareness about kidney donation all his life .
B. Winters got the inspiration from a story on line.
C. Winters has severe kidney failure and is in need of a transplant.
D. Winters’ unusual method of finding a kidney has gone viral on the Internet.
6. According to Paragraph 4, how can we describe Winters?
A. Optimistic and kind. B. Patient and generous.
C. Passive and stubborn. D. Positive and successful.
7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. A kidney transplant is a life-saving operation.
B. Getting a suitable kidney for a patient is not easy.
C. New patients that are added to the kidney waiting list.
D. The success of a kidney transplant depends on several factors.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个名叫温特斯的老人在大街上行走，给自己患病的妻子寻找肾源的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“A 74-year-old man is pounding the pavement in the hope of finding a kidney for his sick wife.(一名74岁的老人正在人行道上奋力前行，希望能为他生病的妻子找到一个肾脏)”可知，温特斯走在街道上，主要是为了给生病的妻子寻找肾脏。故选择A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Deanne has severe kidney failure and is in need of a transplant.(迪安患有严重的肾衰竭，需要移植)”可知，患有严重肾衰竭需要移植的是温特斯的妻子迪安，而不是温特斯，C项表达错误。故选择C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Though he hasn’t had any success yet, Winters remains confident he will find a kidney for Deanne, and says he won’t rest until he makes it.(尽管温特斯还没有取得任何成功，但他仍然有信心为迪安找到一个肾脏，并表示在成功之前他不会休息)”可知，温特斯是个乐观的人；根据第四段中“Winters has stated even after a match for Deanne is found, he will continue to raise awareness about kidney donation because it is now his life mission(温特斯表示，即使在找到迪安的匹配肾源后，他仍将继续提高人们对肾脏捐赠的认识，因为这是他现在的人生使命)”可知，温特斯是个善良的人，不只是为自己的妻子去寻找，也在关心着他人。故选择A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The National Kidney Foundation reports the average wait for an individual’s first kidney transplant is over three and a half years, and can vary depending on health, compatibility (兼容性) and availability of organs.(全国肾脏基金会报告说，平均等待一个人的第一次肾移植超过三年半，并且会根据健康、兼容性以及器官的可用性而变化)”可知，本段主要表述的是想要获得一个匹配的肾源非常不容易。故选择B项。
C
Each country has its own secret to happiness. If “pyt”, which closely means “don’t worry about it and stuff happens”, explains a relaxed attitude of Danish people, “niksen” will reveal how Dutch people combat stress and burnout in a fast-paced lifestyle.
The term “niksen” origins from the Dutch word “niks”, which refers to “nothing”, Mindfulness, another welcome subject to help people have a peaceful mind. But unlike mindfulness, niksen is not about concentrating on the present moment. It’s about letting yourself do nothing, and allowing your mind to run free without expectation.
In practice, this means “hanging around, looking at your surroundings, or listening to music as long as it’s without purpose” according to Time Magazine.
Niksen sounds contrary to the advice we were all given as kids. Nowadays, we’re constantly told to stay busy and work harder than everyone else. But niksen opposes that mentality. It offers the chance to “deliciously do nothing”, as Carolien Hamming, a coach at CSR Centrum, an organization devoted to fighting stress and burnout in the Netherlands, told Time.
She thinks that niksen is essential to staying healthy, since it’s a form of mental relaxation and healing. Just as a wild animal lies in wait for their prey, niksen seems to be a natural state of being.
For some people, niksen can mean more than just stress reduction. It’s also a means to imagine new ideas or plans. As an early adopter(尝试者) of niksen, Jenny Holden, a communications expert in the UK, adds it to her daily lunch breaks. “Within 10 minutes of doing nothing - just staring and listening to myself - my head began to clear and sort out my work and home to-do lists,” she told the MetroUK.
Above all, niksen is a suggestion for balancing work and rest. As Dutch-bom writer Ogla Mecking wrote in US-based Whoolly Magazine, niksen is the “sheer enjoyment of life’s pauses”.
Everyone is encouraged to embrace your niksen moments. They revitalize(使恢复元气) you and give you the strength needed to face everyday challenges.
8. What does niksen means?
A. Living in the moment.
B. Leading a healthy lifestyle.
C. Being free and doing nothing.
D. Using your wildest imagination.
9. Holden’s example is to show ________.
A. how niksen improves one’s mental health
B. niksen is closely related to stress reduction
C. niksen can shorten the distance between people
D. niksen helps people come up with new thoughts
10. The underlined word “sheer” is closest in meaning to “________”
A. thorough B. long
C. unexpected D. quiet
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Suggestions on how to balance work and rest.
B. The introduction to a special Dutch lifestyle.
C. The importance of allowing time to pause life.
D. An explanation of some Danish words about life attitudes.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文。主要介绍了荷兰人在快节奏的生活中对抗压力和倦怠的一种生活方式——niksen，即自由自在地享受生活，什么也不做。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s about letting yourself do nothing, and allowing your mind to run free without expectation.(它是让你自己什么都不做，让你的思想自由地奔跑，没有期待)”以及文章第三段“In practice, this means “hanging around, looking at your surroundings, or listening to music as long as it’s without purpose” according to Time Magazine.(据《时代》杂志报道，在现实生活中，这意味着漫无目的地闲逛，看看周围的环境，或者听音乐)”可知，“niksen”指的是自由而无所事事。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“For some people, niksen can mean more than just stress reduction. It’s also a way to imagine new ideas or plans. Jenny Holden, a communications expert in the UK, adds it to her daily lunch breaks. “Within 10 minutes of doing nothing – just staring and listening to myself – my head began to clear and sort out my work and home to-do lists, she told the MetroUK”(对一些人来说， niksen不仅仅意味着减轻压力。它也是一种想象新想法或计划的方式。英国的交流专家Jenny Holden是niksen的早期使用者，她把它加入到自己每天的午餐休息时间。她在接受《地铁报》采访时表示：在10分钟内什么都不做——只是盯着自己，听自己说话——我的大脑开始清理和整理我的工作和家庭待办事项清单)”由此可推断出，Holden的例子是为了证明niksen有助于人们产生新的想法。故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据所猜词的上一句“Above all, niksen is a suggestion for balancing work and rest.(最重要的是，niksen是一个平衡工作和休息的建议)”并结合前文“It’s about letting yourself do nothing, and allowing your mind to run free without expectation.(它是让你自己什么都不做，让你的思想自由地奔跑，没有期待)”可知，niksen就是让你放下工作，对生活进行纯粹的享受。故所猜词的意思为“彻底的、全面的”。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“If “pyt”, which closely means “don’t worry about it and stuff happens”, explains a relaxed attitude of Danish people, “niksen” will reveal how Dutch people combat stress and burnout in a fast-paced lifestyle.(如果说“pyt”（意为“别担心，顺其自然”）解释了丹麦人轻松的态度，那么“niksen”则揭示了荷兰人如何在快节奏的生活方式中对抗压力和倦怠)”可知，本文介绍了荷兰人在快节奏的生活中对抗压力和倦怠的一种生活方式——niksen。故选B。
D
At the age of nine, Felix Finkbeiner set up an organization called “Plant for the Planet”, whose aim is to plant one million trees in each country of the world. It now exists in more than 130 countries and there is a Children Coordination Council made up of young people who organize plantings. It all started when Felix had to give a presentation at school about climate change. He looked for information on the Internet and was inspired by a woman who had planted 30 million trees in Africa. It gave him the idea that children could do something similar. The talk was so well received that it was suggested he talked to other schools. He started getting calls from students who wanted to join in. The first tree was planted and “Plant for the Planet” was started.
There was a lot to do, so Felix asked his parents if he could employ someone to help if he could find the money to pay them. He contacted (联系) Toyota, the large car manufacturer, asking for support. And they agreed to help.
Six months after the planting of the first tree, Felix gave a talk to business people. In the audience was the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Toyota Germany, who wanted to hear what his money was being spent on. So impressed was he that he gave Felix a chance to talk to German Toyota car dealers (经销商). They were so interested in the idea that they donated €11,000 to the project. Suddenly it spread nationally.
Felix invited journalists to a press conference to announce that 50,000 trees had been planted in Germany. His parents warned him that very few journalists might come. But it turned out to be packed and his picture was on TV screens around the country.
When he is talking about other topics he sounds like any other young person. But once he gets started on climate issues, a change comes over him. He turns into a confident public speaker. But whatever he does in the rest of his life, he has already achieved more than most of us ever do.
12. Which of the following inspired Felix to organize “Plant for the Planet”?
A. A tree planter in Africa.
B. A Children Coordination Council.
C. The strong wish to give a report online.
D. The harmful effects of environmental pollution.
13. How did Felix’s talk to Toyota car dealers affect him?
A. It assisted him in earning a lot of money.
B. It helped him meet the CEO of Toyota.
C. It benefited his project considerably.
D. It enabled him to plant the first tree.
14. What can we infer from Paragraph 4 about Felix’s plan?
A. It was successful. B. It had to be put off.
C. It met with public opposition. D. It worked well as his parents expected.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards Felix?
A. He has doubts about him. B. He gives him high praise.
C. He is hopeful about his career. D. He is concerned about his future.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了男孩Felix Finkbeiner成立了一个名为“为地球种植”的组织，目标是在世界上每个国家种植100万棵树。文章说明了Felix发起组织的原因，以及逐渐发展壮大的过程。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中It all started when Felix had to give a presentation at school about climate change. He looked for information on the Internet and was inspired by a woman who had planted 30 million trees in Africa.可知这一切都始于菲利克斯必须在学校做一个关于气候变化的演讲。他在互联网上寻找信息，并受到一位在非洲种植了3000万棵树的妇女的启发。由此可知，非洲的一个植树者鼓舞Felix成立“为地球种植”组织。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中They were so interested in the idea that they donated €11,000 to the project.可知他们对这个想法非常感兴趣，于是向这个项目捐赠了1.1万欧元。由此可推断，Felix和丰田汽车经销商的谈话使他的项目受益匪浅。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中But it turned out to be packed and his picture was on TV screens around the country.可知但结果却很拥挤，他的照片出现在全国各地的电视屏幕上。由此可推知，Felix的计划很成功。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中But whatever he does in the rest of his life, he has already achieved more than most of us ever do.可知但是无论他在他的余生中做什么，他已经取得了比我们大多数人都要多的成就。由此可推知，作者对Felix的评价很高。故选B。
【点睛】易错分析
3. What can we infer from Paragraph 4 about Felix’s plan?
A. It was successful. B. It had to be put off.
C. It met with public opposition. D. It worked well as his parents expected.
本题属于推理判断题。学生容易受到第四段中His parents warned him that very few journalists might come.(他的父母警告他说可能来的记者很少)的影响，而错选D选项，原文与D选项的表述完全相反，学生不要只看到parents就选D选项。本题答案在第四段最后一句But it turned out to be packed and his picture was on TV screens around the country.可知但结果却很拥挤，他的照片出现在全国各地的电视屏幕上。由此可推知，Felix的计划很成功。故选A。
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Can't Resist Junk Food? Study Suggests You Try This Simple Trick
You're tired and hungry. Then you catch a whiff of something delicious, probably fried and almost certainly fattening. It is fried chicken!____16____A new research says that exposing to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.
Let's take a closer look at this process. Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catches your nose's attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it? What will happen if you're standing in line after a couple of minutes?____17____ And recent science says that this is actually the right moment to walk away.
The results of a series of experiments, including field studies at a supermarket and at a middle school cafeteria, show that extended exposure (of more than two minutes) to junk food smell (e. g,cookie smell) leads to lower purchases of unhealthy foods compared with healthy smell (e.g.strawberry smell).____18____That is why long exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth, which in turn decreases the desire for consumption of junk food.
____19____When the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined, food choices were not profoundly influenced. The reason for this is that healthy food are not connected with reward in our brain and therefore have little influence on what we desire.
So next time you're feeling you don't have the will power to resist that French fries, it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two. ____20____
A. But wait a minute before you order.
B. It's a response that has been researched.
C. Get the satisfaction with none of the calories.
D. It isn't quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.
E. However, it's not the same case with smell of healthy food.
F. It's the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied.
G. The brain doesn't necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell or taste.
【答案】16. A 17. D 18. G 19. E 20. F
【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文，介绍了几项抵制垃圾食品诱惑的技巧。
【16题详解】
根据下一句“A new research says that exposing to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices."可知，暴露在垃圾食品中至少两分钟会帮助你选择健康食品，所以本句与等待时间有关，表达“但是在预定之前先等一下”。故A选项“但是在预定之前先等一下”切题。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据前文连发的两个问句可知，垃圾食品在第一次被闻到时非常吸引人，那么在排队等了几分钟之后会发生什么呢?根据下一句可知，这恰恰是要离开的时刻，可知，本句在表达“它已经不像几分钟之前那么不可抗拒了。”故D选项“它已经不像几分钟之前那么不可抗拒了”切题。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据本段开头提示，可知一系列实验结果表明暴露在垃圾食品的气味中多于两分钟后会导致垃圾食品购买量的下降，在进行客观结果描述，所以排除易错选项F，同时，下一句在解释闻到气味就如同嘴巴吃到了一样满足。可知空处所在句要表达大脑对味觉和嗅觉区分不明显。故G选项“大脑对味觉和嗅觉区分不明显”切题。故选选G。
【19题详解】
从下一句“当检测健康食物的气味时，食物选择并没有受到很大的影响。”可以得知空格内容与健康食物的气味相关，并且表达转折的语义。故E选项“然而，健康食物的味道就不一样了。”切题。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据前句“it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two."（最简单的方法是坐在那里闻上一两分钟香甜的味道）与选项中“It’s the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied. (闻到味道与吃到它是一样可以满足愿望的。)承接自然，话题一致。故选F。

47. 阅读下面的材料，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。
In 2004, my husband, Joe and I worked in a design company in Arizona.One day, when we got back home after work, my tenyearold daughter Becky, and Joe were united in their desire for a dog.As for me, I shared none of theirs.
“But why，” they pleaded (恳求). “Because I don't have time to take care of a dog.” “But we'll do it.” “Really? You're going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog？” “Yes, yes, and yes.” “I don't believe you.” “We will.We promise.”
They didn't. They wanted to walk the cute dog that first day.From day two, neither of them thought to walk the dog.While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one.As she looked up at the three new humans in her life, she calculated，“The medium one is the most reliable.”
Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵相通). She'd look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, send her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand—which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she would extend across my stomach as I watched television, and snored on my homeoffice couch as I worked on my design.
Even so, part of me continued to reject walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised.“Not fair，” I said to myself as she and I walked.“Not fair，” I'd loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.
In September, 2008, the Great Depression hit Arizona.With that, my husband and I were both laid off overnight.During the following six months, Joe and I hurriedly rushed here and there to seek a new job, doing anything and everything we could to request employment.Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.However, Misty still needed walking.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Upset as I was, I had to walk Misty while seeking a job.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Months going by, my life changed a little and I came to enjoy my walks with Misty.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Upset as I was, I had to walk Misty while seeking a job. I felt it a heavy duty to apply my energy to the routine walk.Every time I walked Misty, I felt exhausted and fed up.One day, Misty stopped in front of me, unwilling to move forward despite my dragging the rope.Dramatically, all my anxiety, exhaustion and displeasure erupted like a volcano.I knelt down, burying my head in my hands, tears rolling down my face.Then, Misty approached me and laid her head on my knees to comfort me. I was a little embarrassed but grateful for Misty's understanding.Then I stood up, with my steps firm and powerful.
Months going by, my life changed a little and I came to enjoy my walks with Misty. It felt more like relaxation than duty. Misty shared my negative feelings and kept walking peacefully, which comforted me a lot. Thanks to Misty's silent companion, I regained the enthusiasm to life and finally went through the hard times. With my unremitting efforts, I eventually got a new job, and so did Joe. Everything seemed to be just fine and my family went back to routine. But something did change—I had an earnest and faithful friend.

A
Many workers have had no choice but to adapt to working from home in recent months since offices shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠疫情). And the noisy situation and endless housework may result in a terrible emotion. A new option is waiting for you. That is WFH: work from a hotel.
Hotel Figuero
A special program titled Work Perks aims to reposition some of 94-year-old Hotel Figuero’s 268 rooms as day-use offices.
According to Managing Director Connie Wang, the set-up launched in June and is a great opportunity to get out of their houses with high-speed Wi-Fi, unlimited printing privileges and free parking. The 350-square-foot rooms sell for $ 139 per day, with an option to extend to an overnight stay for an additional $ 30.
The Wythe
A boutique hotel in Brooklyn. The hotel recently announced a partnership with co-working office space company Industrious through which it is recycling 13 second-story guest rooms to serve as offices for up to four people.
The Sawyer
The Sawyer, in Sacramento, California, is offering pool cabanas (更衣室) for use as outdoor offices, complete with fast Wi-Fi, free parking and catered lunch for $ 150 per day.
Each of the rooms has a small outdoor platform, and dogs are welcome. Pricing starts at $ 200 and goes up to $ 275, depending on how many people use the space.
Hotels By Day
Yannis Moati founded Hotels By Day back in 2015. That company has grown to include more than 1,500 hotels, and has seen a significant increase in the number of inquiries for day-use bookings lately.
Moati said the current situation will force hotels to upgrade themselves to stay alive, and he predicted that offering rooms for day-use only is one of the directions they will go.
1. How much should one pay for a 24-hour stay in Hotel Figuero?
A. $ 129. B. $ 150.
C. $ 169. D. $ 200.
2. Which hotel allows pets in?
A. The Wythe B. The Sawyer.
C. Hotels By Day. D. Hotel Figuero.
3. What do we know about Yannis Moati?
A. He started a program titled Work Perks.
B. He has upgraded at least 1,500 rooms.
C. He usually predicts everything correctly.
D. He is optimistic about the WFH trend.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D

【分析】本文是一篇应用文。由于新冠疫情，办公室关闭，许多人不得不在家里工作，嘈杂的环境和没完没了的家务可能会导致情绪糟糕，现在有了一个新的选择，那就是在酒店工作。文章主要介绍了几家不同的酒店。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Hotel Figuero标题下的“The 350-square-foot rooms sell for $ 139 per day, with an option to extend to an overnight stay for an additional $ 30.(350平方英尺的客房售价为139美元/天，还可以选择延长住宿时间在那里过夜，另加30美元)”可知，要在Hotel Figuero待24小时的话需要139+30共计169美元。故选择C项。

细节理解题。根据The Sawyer标题下的“Each of the rooms has a small outdoor platform, and dogs are welcome.(每个房间都有一个小的户外平台，狗也受欢迎)”可知，The Sawyer是允许宠物进入的。故选择B项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据Hotels By Day标题下的“Yannis Moati founded Hotels By Day back in 2015. That company has grown to include more than 1,500 hotels, and has seen a significant increase in the number of inquiries for day-use bookings lately.(亚尼斯·莫阿蒂早在2015年就创建了日间酒店。该公司已发展到包括1500多家酒店，并且最近日间租用预订的查询数量显著增加)”可知，亚尼斯·莫阿蒂对于在酒店工作这种趋势是乐观的。故选择D项。
B
A 74-year-old man is pounding the pavement in the hope of finding a kidney for his sick wife. Wayne Winters began walking along the streets near his home in Farr West, Utah early this month with a sandwich board containing an unusual request. “Need Kidney for Wife,” the sign reads. Winters’ phone number and his wife Deanne’s blood type are also included.
Deanne has severe kidney failure and is in need of a transplant. Desperate to do something to help his sick wife, Winters walks along the streets armed with a new suit, and his sign with a plea (恳请) for a kidney. Though he doesn’t walk fast, Winters’ unusual method of tracking down a kidney for Deanne has attracted plenty of attention. In addition to the motorists and passers-by who have seen Winters out walking miles a day, his request for a kidney has now hit the Internet and attracted the attention of millions more people.
Winters said he was inspired to pound the pavement on behalf of his wife after seeing a story online about another man who did the same thing and got national attention. Rush hour is his favorite time to walk up and down the streets because drivers are slowed down.
Though he hasn’t had any success yet, Winters remains confident he will find a kidney for Deanne, and says he won’t rest until he makes it. Winters has stated even after a match for Deanne is found, he will continue to raise awareness about kidney donation because it is now his life mission. In fact, the back of his current sign includes a message aimed at helping others in need. It read, “1,000 kidneys are needed in Utah and Idaho.”
The National Kidney Foundation reports the average wait for an individual’s first kidney transplant is over three and a half years, and can vary depending on health, compatibility (兼容性) and availability of organs. The organization also notes over 3,000 new patients are added to the kidney waiting list each month, and 13 people die each day while waiting for a life-saving kidney transplant.
4. Why is the old man walking along the streets?
A. To help his sick wife. B. To do some exercise.
C. To look for something he has lost. D. To appreciate the sights of the city.
5. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Winters will continue raising awareness about kidney donation all his life .
B. Winters got the inspiration from a story on line.
C. Winters has severe kidney failure and is in need of a transplant.

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个名叫温特斯的老人在大街上行走，给自己患病的妻子寻找肾源的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“A 74-year-old man is pounding the pavement in the hope of finding a kidney for his sick wife.(一名74岁的老人正在人行道上奋力前行，希望能为他生病的妻子找到一个肾脏)”可知，温特斯走在街道上，主要是为了给生病的妻子寻找肾脏。故选择A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Deanne has severe kidney failure and is in need of a transplant.(迪安患有严重的肾衰竭，需要移植)”可知，患有严重肾衰竭需要移植的是温特斯的妻子迪安，而不是温特斯，C项表达错误。故选择C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Though he hasn’t had any success yet, Winters remains confident he will find a kidney for Deanne, and says he won’t rest until he makes it.(尽管温特斯还没有取得任何成功，但他仍然有信心为迪安找到一个肾脏，并表示在成功之前他不会休息)”可知，温特斯是个乐观的人；根据第四段中“Winters has stated even after a match for Deanne is found, he will continue to raise awareness about kidney donation because it is now his life mission(温特斯表示，即使在找到迪安的匹配肾源后，他仍将继续提高人们对肾脏捐赠的认识，因为这是他现在的人生使命)”可知，温特斯是个善良的人，不只是为自己的妻子去寻找，也在关心着他人。故选择A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The National Kidney Foundation reports the average wait for an individual’s first kidney transplant is over three and a half years, and can vary depending on health, compatibility (兼容性) and availability of organs.(全国肾脏基金会报告说，平均等待一个人的第一次肾移植超过三年半，并且会根据健康、兼容性以及器官的可用性而变化)”可知，本段主要表述的是想要获得一个匹配的肾源非常不容易。故选择B项。
C
Each country has its own secret to happiness. If “pyt”, which closely means “don’t worry about it and stuff happens”, explains a relaxed attitude of Danish people, “niksen” will reveal how Dutch people combat stress and burnout in a fast-paced lifestyle.
The term “niksen” origins from the Dutch word “niks”, which refers to “nothing”, Mindfulness, another welcome subject to help people have a peaceful mind. But unlike mindfulness, niksen is not about concentrating on the present moment. It’s about letting yourself do nothing, and allowing your mind to run free without expectation.
In practice, this means “hanging around, looking at your surroundings, or listening to music as long as it’s without purpose” according to Time Magazine.
Niksen sounds contrary to the advice we were all given as kids. Nowadays, we’re constantly told to stay busy and work harder than everyone else. But niksen opposes that mentality. It offers the chance to “deliciously do nothing”, as Carolien Hamming, a coach at CSR Centrum, an organization devoted to fighting stress and burnout in the Netherlands, told Time.
She thinks that niksen is essential to staying healthy, since it’s a form of mental relaxation and healing. Just as a wild animal lies in wait for their prey, niksen seems to be a natural state of being.
For some people, niksen can mean more than just stress reduction. It’s also a means to imagine new ideas or plans. As an early adopter(尝试者) of niksen, Jenny Holden, a communications expert in the UK, adds it to her daily lunch breaks. “Within 10 minutes of doing nothing - just staring and listening to myself - my head began to clear and sort out my work and home to-do lists,” she told the MetroUK.
Above all, niksen is a suggestion for balancing work and rest. As Dutch-bom writer Ogla Mecking wrote in US-based Whoolly Magazine, niksen is the “sheer enjoyment of life’s pauses”.
Everyone is encouraged to embrace your niksen moments. They revitalize(使恢复元气) you and give you the strength needed to face everyday challenges.
8. What does niksen means?
A. Living in the moment.
B. Leading a healthy lifestyle.
C. Being free and doing nothing.
D. Using your wildest imagination.
9. Holden’s example is to show ________.
A. how niksen improves one’s mental health
B. niksen is closely related to stress reduction
C. niksen can shorten the distance between people
D. niksen helps people come up with new thoughts
10. The underlined word “sheer” is closest in meaning to “________”
A. thorough B. long
C. unexpected D. quiet
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Suggestions on how to balance work and rest.
B. The introduction to a special Dutch lifestyle.
C. The importance of allowing time to pause life.
D. An explanation of some Danish words about life attitudes.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文。主要介绍了荷兰人在快节奏的生活中对抗压力和倦怠的一种生活方式——niksen，即自由自在地享受生活，什么也不做。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s about letting yourself do nothing, and allowing your mind to run free without expectation.(它是让你自己什么都不做，让你的思想自由地奔跑，没有期待)”以及文章第三段“In practice, this means “hanging around, looking at your surroundings, or listening to music as long as it’s without purpose” according to Time Magazine.(据《时代》杂志报道，在现实生活中，这意味着漫无目的地闲逛，看看周围的环境，或者听音乐)”可知，“niksen”指的是自由而无所事事。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“For some people, niksen can mean more than just stress reduction. It’s also a way to imagine new ideas or plans. Jenny Holden, a communications expert in the UK, adds it to her daily lunch breaks. “Within 10 minutes of doing nothing – just staring and listening to myself – my head began to clear and sort out my work and home to-do lists, she told the MetroUK”(对一些人来说， niksen不仅仅意味着减轻压力。它也是一种想象新想法或计划的方式。英国的交流专家Jenny Holden是niksen的早期使用者，她把它加入到自己每天的午餐休息时间。她在接受《地铁报》采访时表示：在10分钟内什么都不做——只是盯着自己，听自己说话——我的大脑开始清理和整理我的工作和家庭待办事项清单)”由此可推断出，Holden的例子是为了证明niksen有助于人们产生新的想法。故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据所猜词的上一句“Above all, niksen is a suggestion for balancing work and rest.(最重要的是，niksen是一个平衡工作和休息的建议)”并结合前文“It’s about letting yourself do nothing, and allowing your mind to run free without expectation.(它是让你自己什么都不做，让你的思想自由地奔跑，没有期待)”可知，niksen就是让你放下工作，对生活进行纯粹的享受。故所猜词的意思为“彻底的、全面的”。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“If “pyt”, which closely means “don’t worry about it and stuff happens”, explains a relaxed attitude of Danish people, “niksen” will reveal how Dutch people combat stress and burnout in a fast-paced lifestyle.(如果说“pyt”（意为“别担心，顺其自然”）解释了丹麦人轻松的态度，那么“niksen”则揭示了荷兰人如何在快节奏的生活方式中对抗压力和倦怠)”可知，本文介绍了荷兰人在快节奏的生活中对抗压力和倦怠的一种生活方式——niksen。故选B。

At the age of nine, Felix Finkbeiner set up an organization called “Plant for the Planet”, whose aim is to plant one million trees in each country of the world. It now exists in more than 130 countries and there is a Children Coordination Council made up of young people who organize plantings. It all started when Felix had to give a presentation at school about climate change. He looked for information on the Internet and was inspired by a woman who had planted 30 million trees in Africa. It gave him the idea that children could do something similar. The talk was so well received that it was suggested he talked to other schools. He started getting calls from students who wanted to join in. The first tree was planted and “Plant for the Planet” was started.
There was a lot to do, so Felix asked his parents if he could employ someone to help if he could find the money to pay them. He contacted (联系) Toyota, the large car manufacturer, asking for support. And they agreed to help.
Six months after the planting of the first tree, Felix gave a talk to business people. In the audience was the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Toyota Germany, who wanted to hear what his money was being spent on. So impressed was he that he gave Felix a chance to talk to German Toyota car dealers (经销商). They were so interested in the idea that they donated €11,000 to the project. Suddenly it spread nationally.
Felix invited journalists to a press conference to announce that 50,000 trees had been planted in Germany. His parents warned him that very few journalists might come. But it turned out to be packed and his picture was on TV screens around the country.
When he is talking about other topics he sounds like any other young person. But once he gets started on climate issues, a change comes over him. He turns into a confident public speaker. But whatever he does in the rest of his life, he has already achieved more than most of us ever do.
12. Which of the following inspired Felix to organize “Plant for the Planet”?
A. A tree planter in Africa.
B. A Children Coordination Council.
C. The strong wish to give a report online.
D. The harmful effects of environmental pollution.
13. How did Felix’s talk to Toyota car dealers affect him?
A. It assisted him in earning a lot of money.
B. It helped him meet the CEO of Toyota.
C. It benefited his project considerably.
D. It enabled him to plant the first tree.
14. What can we infer from Paragraph 4 about Felix’s plan?
A. It was successful. B. It had to be put off.
C. It met with public opposition. D. It worked well as his parents expected.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards Felix?
A. He has doubts about him. B. He gives him high praise.
C. He is hopeful about his career. D. He is concerned about his future.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了男孩Felix Finkbeiner成立了一个名为“为地球种植”的组织，目标是在世界上每个国家种植100万棵树。文章说明了Felix发起组织的原因，以及逐渐发展壮大的过程。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中It all started when Felix had to give a presentation at school about climate change. He looked for information on the Internet and was inspired by a woman who had planted 30 million trees in Africa.可知这一切都始于菲利克斯必须在学校做一个关于气候变化的演讲。他在互联网上寻找信息，并受到一位在非洲种植了3000万棵树的妇女的启发。由此可知，非洲的一个植树者鼓舞Felix成立“为地球种植”组织。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中They were so interested in the idea that they donated €11,000 to the project.可知他们对这个想法非常感兴趣，于是向这个项目捐赠了1.1万欧元。由此可推断，Felix和丰田汽车经销商的谈话使他的项目受益匪浅。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中But it turned out to be packed and his picture was on TV screens around the country.可知但结果却很拥挤，他的照片出现在全国各地的电视屏幕上。由此可推知，Felix的计划很成功。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中But whatever he does in the rest of his life, he has already achieved more than most of us ever do.可知但是无论他在他的余生中做什么，他已经取得了比我们大多数人都要多的成就。由此可推知，作者对Felix的评价很高。故选B。
【点睛】易错分析
3. What can we infer from Paragraph 4 about Felix’s plan?
A. It was successful. B. It had to be put off.
C. It met with public opposition. D. It worked well as his parents expected.
本题属于推理判断题。学生容易受到第四段中His parents warned him that very few journalists might come.(他的父母警告他说可能来的记者很少)的影响，而错选D选项，原文与D选项的表述完全相反，学生不要只看到parents就选D选项。本题答案在第四段最后一句But it turned out to be packed and his picture was on TV screens around the country.可知但结果却很拥挤，他的照片出现在全国各地的电视屏幕上。由此可推知，Felix的计划很成功。故选A。

根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Can't Resist Junk Food? Study Suggests You Try This Simple Trick
You're tired and hungry. Then you catch a whiff of something delicious, probably fried and almost certainly fattening. It is fried chicken!____16____A new research says that exposing to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.
Let's take a closer look at this process. Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catches your nose's attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it? What will happen if you're standing in line after a couple of minutes?____17____ And recent science says that this is actually the right moment to walk away.
The results of a series of experiments, including field studies at a supermarket and at a middle school cafeteria, show that extended exposure (of more than two minutes) to junk food smell (e. g,cookie smell) leads to lower purchases of unhealthy foods compared with healthy smell (e.g.strawberry smell).____18____That is why long exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth, which in turn decreases the desire for consumption of junk food.
____19____When the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined, food choices were not profoundly influenced. The reason for this is that healthy food are not connected with reward in our brain and therefore have little influence on what we desire.
So next time you're feeling you don't have the will power to resist that French fries, it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two. ____20____
A. But wait a minute before you order.
B. It's a response that has been researched.
C. Get the satisfaction with none of the calories.
D. It isn't quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.
E. However, it's not the same case with smell of healthy food.
F. It's the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied.
G. The brain doesn't necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell or taste.
【答案】16. A 17. D 18. G 19. E 20. F
【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文，介绍了几项抵制垃圾食品诱惑的技巧。
【16题详解】
根据下一句“A new research says that exposing to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices."可知，暴露在垃圾食品中至少两分钟会帮助你选择健康食品，所以本句与等待时间有关，表达“但是在预定之前先等一下”。故A选项“但是在预定之前先等一下”切题。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据前文连发的两个问句可知，垃圾食品在第一次被闻到时非常吸引人，那么在排队等了几分钟之后会发生什么呢?根据下一句可知，这恰恰是要离开的时刻，可知，本句在表达“它已经不像几分钟之前那么不可抗拒了。”故D选项“它已经不像几分钟之前那么不可抗拒了”切题。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据本段开头提示，可知一系列实验结果表明暴露在垃圾食品的气味中多于两分钟后会导致垃圾食品购买量的下降，在进行客观结果描述，所以排除易错选项F，同时，下一句在解释闻到气味就如同嘴巴吃到了一样满足。可知空处所在句要表达大脑对味觉和嗅觉区分不明显。故G选项“大脑对味觉和嗅觉区分不明显”切题。故选选G。
【19题详解】
从下一句“当检测健康食物的气味时，食物选择并没有受到很大的影响。”可以得知空格内容与健康食物的气味相关，并且表达转折的语义。故E选项“然而，健康食物的味道就不一样了。”切题。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据前句“it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two."（最简单的方法是坐在那里闻上一两分钟香甜的味道）与选项中“It’s the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied. (闻到味道与吃到它是一样可以满足愿望的。)承接自然，话题一致。故选F。

47. 阅读下面的材料，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。
In 2004, my husband, Joe and I worked in a design company in Arizona.One day, when we got back home after work, my tenyearold daughter Becky, and Joe were united in their desire for a dog.As for me, I shared none of theirs.
“But why，” they pleaded (恳求). “Because I don't have time to take care of a dog.” “But we'll do it.” “Really? You're going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog？” “Yes, yes, and yes.” “I don't believe you.” “We will.We promise.”
They didn't. They wanted to walk the cute dog that first day.From day two, neither of them thought to walk the dog.While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one.As she looked up at the three new humans in her life, she calculated，“The medium one is the most reliable.”
Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵相通). She'd look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, send her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand—which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she would extend across my stomach as I watched television, and snored on my homeoffice couch as I worked on my design.
Even so, part of me continued to reject walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised.“Not fair，” I said to myself as she and I walked.“Not fair，” I'd loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.
In September, 2008, the Great Depression hit Arizona.With that, my husband and I were both laid off overnight.During the following six months, Joe and I hurriedly rushed here and there to seek a new job, doing anything and everything we could to request employment.Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.However, Misty still needed walking.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Upset as I was, I had to walk Misty while seeking a job.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Months going by, my life changed a little and I came to enjoy my walks with Misty.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Upset as I was, I had to walk Misty while seeking a job. I felt it a heavy duty to apply my energy to the routine walk.Every time I walked Misty, I felt exhausted and fed up.One day, Misty stopped in front of me, unwilling to move forward despite my dragging the rope.Dramatically, all my anxiety, exhaustion and displeasure erupted like a volcano.I knelt down, burying my head in my hands, tears rolling down my face.Then, Misty approached me and laid her head on my knees to comfort me. I was a little embarrassed but grateful for Misty's understanding.Then I stood up, with my steps firm and powerful.
Months going by, my life changed a little and I came to enjoy my walks with Misty. It felt more like relaxation than duty. Misty shared my negative feelings and kept walking peacefully, which comforted me a lot. Thanks to Misty's silent companion, I regained the enthusiasm to life and finally went through the hard times. With my unremitting efforts, I eventually got a new job, and so did Joe. Everything seemed to be just fine and my family went back to routine. But something did change—I had an earnest and faithful friend.
