【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了卓惠长医生令人难忘的经历，他已经参与抗击新冠肺炎99天。他参与了武汉和菲律宾的医疗队，为抗击新冠状病毒疫情做出了贡献。

1．an　考查冠词。句意：这次经历令人难忘，我很荣幸能够在国家和人民需要我的时候尽自己作为一名医生的责任。根据名词honour可知此处用冠词，且由音标/nə(r)/可知，要用an修饰名词。故填an。

2．had been thinking/ had thought　考查时态。句意：卓说：“我没有犹豫片刻，因为我已经考虑了很久。”根据主句谓语 “didn’t hesitate”和空后的“for a long time”可知，从句的谓语可用过去完成时或者过去完成进行时表示过去发生的动作，且该动作还有可能继续。故填had been thinking/ had thought。

3．to　考查介词。句意：虽然他的孩子反对这个决定，但他的妻子，同时也是一名医学专家，给予了他强有力的支持。固定短语object to “反对”。故填to。

4．responsibility　考查名词。句意：“这是我们的责任，”她说。根据our可知，此处要用名词，且responsibility是不可数名词。故填responsibility。

5．proudly　考查副词。句意：他自豪地说，在武汉期间，他们负责的新冠肺炎患者全部治愈。根据said可知，此处要用副词修饰动词。故填proudly。

6．that/which　考查定语从句的关系词。句意：卓说：“我可以和菲律宾的同事们分享我的经历。”他还说他想为世界做点贡献。分析句子成分可知，此处是一个限制性定语从句，先行词是experience，指物，且关系词在定语从句中作share with的宾语，因此要用that/which。故填that/which。

7．adding　考查非谓语动词。句意：卓说：“我可以和菲律宾的同事们分享我的经历。”他还说他想为世界做点贡献。根据“Zhuo said”可知，此处要用非谓语动词，且逻辑主语Zhuo与add之间是主动关系，因此要用现在分词。故填adding。

8．sharing　考查固定搭配。句意：在菲律宾，医学专家们花了几整天的时间来分享他们的经验。固定短语spend time (in)doing sth. “花时间做某事”，根据“spent entire days”可知，此处填现在分词。故填sharing。

9．what　考查宾语从句的引导词。句意：他说：“我们希望交流对新冠病毒患者治疗方案的了解。”根据 “wanted to communicate”可知，此处后接宾语从句，缺少宾语从句的引导词；分析宾语从句成分可知，主语是we，谓语是“had learned about”，缺少宾语，因此要用引导词what 。故填what。

10．connected　考查形容词。句意：卓说：“我现在感觉武汉和菲律宾有了一种血脉相连的关系了。”根据feel可知，此处要用形容词作表语。故填connected。

Ⅱ. 阅读理解

If you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple—eat the same food as they do.  Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.

During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats.  And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.

The reason is thought to be the so-called similarity attraction theory—where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves.  But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship.  Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food’s role in earning trust.

In a test, participants were told to watch TV—where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product.  The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble, while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.

The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.  The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such.  They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do.  It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions from the start. ”

Harley Street psychologist Dr.  Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust.  But this was the first report that food had the same effect.  She said, “This is really interesting.  It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person.  That means negotiations are more likely to be successful. ”

(　　)1． According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who ________.

A．advertises his products on TV

B．has the same taste as them

C．reduces the price of his products

D．pays attention to the quality of his products

(　　)2． The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that ________.

A．food plays an important role in earning people’s trust

B．bosses like employees that have the same taste as them

C．people who have similar tastes to their boss’s earn more

D．people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV

(　　)3． What can be inferred from the passage?

A．People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.

B．People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.

C．The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn’t been proved by researchers.

D．People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.

(　　)4． Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?

A．Honesty is the best policy.

B．All good things come to an end.

C．Birds of a feather flock together.

D．Where there is a will, there is a way.

2．A　推理判断题。根据第三段的 “Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food’s role in earning trust. ”可知，芝加哥大学的研究人员进行的实验表明，食物在赢得人们的信任方面扮演着重要的角色。故选A项。

3．A　推理判断题。根据第一段的 “Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them. ”和第三段的 “Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food’s role in earning trust. ”可知，吃相似食物的人更容易互相信任。故选A项。

4．C　推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲的内容是研究表明，吃相似食物的人更容易互相信任可知，可以作为相似性吸引理论的例子是C选项(物以类聚，物人以群分)。A. 诚实乃上策；B. 天下无不散之筵席；D. 有志者，事竟成。三个选项不符合题意。故选C项。

Ⅲ. 概要写作

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。

Perhaps you’ve heard the old saying “Curiosity killed the cat. ” It’s a phrase that’s often used to warn people—especially children—not to ask too many questions.  Yet it’s widely agreed that curiosity actually makes learning more effective.  In fact, research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in determining how well students do in school.

Curiosity can also lead us to make unexpected discoveries, bring excitement into our lives, and open up new possibilities.  In science, basic curiosity-driven research can have unexpected important benefits.  For example, one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil and a magnet when he suddenly saw how he could produce an electrical current.  At first, it wasn’t clear what use this would have, but it actually made electricity available for use in technology, and so changed the world.

However, curiosity is currently under the biggest threat, coming from technology.  On one level, this is because technology has become so advanced that many of us are unable to think too deeply about how exactly things work any more.  While it may be possible for a curious teenager to take a toaster apart and get some sense of how it works, how much do you understand about what happens when you type a website address into a browser? Where does your grasp of technology end and the magic begin for you?

In addition to this, there’s the fact that we all now connect so deeply with technology, particularly with our phones.  The more we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people directly.  All too often we accept the images of people that social media provides us with.  Then we feel we know enough about a person not to need to engage further with them.

That means we end up inside our own little bubbles, no longer coming across new ideas.  Perhaps the real key to developing curiosity in the 21st century, then, is to rely less on the tech tools of our age.

________________________________________________________________________

One possible version：

Curiosity, as is revealed in research, is vital to students’ good academic performance(要点1)．It also activates many scientific discoveries of unexpected benefits(要点2)．However, up-to-date technology is now killing curiosity, by hindering our capability to further explore how things go on(要点3)．Additionally, intimate exposure to technology, phones in particular, will mislead us into accepting people’s virtual images online rather than have a deep insight into them(要点4)．Therefore, to encourage curiosity, don’t depend on technology excessively(要点5)．
