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
Friends are very important to us. Sometimes we just want to develop some new friendships. Here are some of the best apps for you to make new friends.
Atleto
Research shows that exercising with a friend promotes more motivation and healthier lifestyle habits. Atleto is an app that builds on this “exercise contagion (传染)” phenomenon by bringing together athletic people to take exercise and organize group activities. You can choose from over 40 sports and find your community of people who like to be in a sweat.
Friender
Studies show that we’re eager to find people similar to us. Suppose you’re sick of boring surface-level conversations. Then,Friender solves that problem quickly with an algorithm(算法) that only matches you based on your favorite activities and interests. This friend-finding app makes it easy to get into conversations that you care about. If you don’t have many hobbies to type into an app, one of the easiest ways to start is to try out new hobbies.
PawDate
Dogs are great companions, but sometimes it’s nice to talk to humans, too. This app connects pet owners to meet up at dog parks or walk with their pups. You get to set up doggie play dates and find new friends at the same time! It’s a win-win.
Skout started back in 2007 to help people make new friends. The rematches are based on directly by checking into a location and seeing who else on the app is there.
1. Who is Atleto intended for?
A. Those who like to walk their dogs.
B. Those who want to play sports together.
C. Those who want to develop new hobbies.
D. Those who like to do community service.
2. What can people do by using Friender?
A. Solve conversation problems.
B. Share their favorite activities.
C. MMake new friends while traveling.
D. Have conversations with like-minded people.

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Friender部分中“Then,Friender solves that problem quickly with an algorithm(算法) that only matches you based on your favorite activities and interests. This friend-finding app makes it easy to get into conversations that you care about.(然后,Friender用一种算法快速解决了这个问题,它只根据你最喜欢的活动和兴趣来匹配你。这个找朋友的应用程序让你很容易加入到你关心的对话中)”可知,使用Friender可以和志同道合的人交谈。故选D。

B
Unhappily married for many years, Peter waited until his children were grown up before he divorced their mother. He hoped this would make the experience less unhappy for them. Yet in the six years since, he has not seen either of his two sons. “For me it has been completely destructive,” he says. “I get teary when I think about them.”
Though people tend not to talk about it much, family estrangement seems to be widespread in America. The relationship most commonly cut off is that between parent and adult child, and in most cases it is the child who holds the knife.
Because family estrangement has been a subject of research only for the past decade, there are no data to show whether it is becoming more common. But many sociologists and psychologists think it is. In one way this seems surprising. Divorce increases the risk of family divisions. Yet in recent years, America’s divorce rate has fallen. So Dr. Coleman thinks other factors are making parent-child estrangements likelier than ever.
A rise in individualism that emphasizes personal happiness is the biggest factor. Realization of personal value has increasingly come to take the place of filial duty, says Dr. Coleman. In some ways it is a positive development: people find it easier to separate from parents who have been pushy. But it can also carry heavy costs.
Another factor is that those who decide to break off contact with their parents find support online. Posts on internet forums for people who Want to break ties with their parents show strangers advising an immediate break in contact. This may make it easier to put aside their feelings of guilt.
Raising awareness about the issue in this Way is likely to be important not only because some broken relationships may be fixable. Parent-child estrangement has negative effects beyond the heartbreak it causes. Research suggests that the habit of cutting off relatives is likely to spread in families. But most immediately, it is likely to increase loneliness in old age.
4. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To explain a reason. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To make a suggestion. D. To give an example.
5. What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. The research data B. The risk of divisions
C. Family estrangement. D. Parent-child relationship.
6. How do adult children separate from their parents without feeling guilty?
A. By finding support online. B. By seeking personal happiness.
C. By performing filial duty. D. By posting on Internet forums.
7. What is the direct negative effect of parent-child estrangement?
A. Causing heartbreak. B. Breaking parent-child relationships.
C. Leading to awful loneliness in old age. D. Spreading the habit of cutting off relatives.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了家庭隔阂似乎在美国很普遍,最常被切断的关系是父母和成年子女之间的关系,由于家庭隔阂只是过去十年的一个研究课题,没有数据显示它是否正变得越来越普遍。文章分析了背后的原因和家庭隔阂的影响。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Unhappily married for many years, Peter waited until his children were grown up before he divorced their mother. He hoped this would make the experience less unhappy for them. Yet in the six years since, he has not seen either of his two sons. “For me it has been completely destructive,” he says. “I get teary when I think about them.”(彼得经历了多年不幸的婚姻,直到孩子们都长大成人后才和他们的母亲离婚。他希望这能减轻他们的痛苦。然而,在那之后的六年里,他没有见过两个儿子中的任何一个。“对我来说,这完全是毁灭性的,”他说。“一想到他们,我就会流泪。”)”以及第二段“Though people tend not to talk about it much, family estrangement seems to be widespread in America. The relationship most commonly cut off is that between parent and adult child, and in most cases it is the child who holds the knife.(虽然人们往往不怎么谈论它,但家庭隔阂似乎在美国很普遍。最常被切断的关系是父母和成年子女之间的关系,在大多数情况下让人痛心的是孩子)”可推知,第一段的作用是引入主题。故选B。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Because family estrangement has been a subject of research only for the past decade, there are no data to show”以及后文“is becoming more common”可知,由于家庭隔阂只是过去十年的一个研究课题,没有数据显示家庭隔阂是否正变得越来越普遍。故it指的是“家庭隔阂”。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Another factor is that those who decide to break off contact with their parents find support online. Posts on internet forums for people who Want to break ties with their parents show strangers advising an immediate break in contact. This may make it easier to put aside their feelings of guilt.(另一个因素是,那些决定与父母断绝联系的人在网上找到了支持。想要与父母断绝关系的人在网络论坛上的帖子显示,陌生人建议他们立即断绝联系。这可能会让他们更容易把罪恶感放在一边)”可知,成年子女通过在网上寻找支持来让自己与父母分离而不感到内疚。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Parent-child estrangement has negative effects beyond the heartbreak it causes.(亲子关系的疏远除了会造成心碎之外,还有其他的负面影响)”可知,亲子隔阂的直接负面影响是令人心碎。故选A。
C
Ocean warming is speeding up and sea levels are rising more quickly, warns a new report by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel. The report also discusses a relatively new phenomenon in the oceans: marine (海洋的) heatwaves. “Before 2012 or 2013, nobody had thought about heat waves in the ocean,” says Andrew Pershing, chief scientist at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute in Portland. “Then in 2012 we had a huge event here. It was a real surprise.” The abnormally hot water influenced animals that live off the coast of Maine and are important to the local fishing economy.
What’s more, it quickly became clear that the state wasn’t alone.“This kind of heat wave events has sprung up all over the ocean,” Pershing says.“We’ve actually had three major heat waves here — 2012, 2016 and 2018 and now we’re looking at repeat heat waves in the northern Pacific; Australia has also had some repeat heat waves. So it’s really becoming a part of the conversation in oceanography.”
That’s a big deal for coastal communities whose economies depend on fish and other seafood. Heat waves drove a lot of changes in life off the coast of the Pacific Northwest, which in tum led to disastrous seasons for fishermen. Abnormally hot water supported rapid increase of algae (藻类) that polluted the Dungeness crab fishery on the West Coast, shutting it down for months. Meanwhile, the so-called hot water off the coast has been connected with drought (干早) on land, which has led to a large number of fish runs, raised the risk of wildfires and resulted in water stress inland.
The report suggests some actions local, state and national leaders can take to slow ocean warming and rising,and to adapt (适应) to its influences. First, greenhouse gas emissions (排放) from burning fossil fuels are the main drive of these changes, and the global economy must go through a dramatic change to reduce these emissions.
“Even if we cut carbon emissions right now, we are still looking at 20 to 30 years of change,” Pershing explains. “That means, whatever we do, we have to figure out how we are going to adapt to these changes.”
Some marine influences of climate change will unfold in the coming years no matter what. Speeding up sea level rise, for example, will threaten billions of people and present an existential threat to millions who live in coastal communities and count on fishing.
8. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The results of global climate change.
B. The cause of heat waves in the ocean.
C. The problem ocean animals are facing.
D. The increasing frequency of heat waves.
9. How does the author explain the disaster led by heat waves to fishermen?
A. By providing examples.
B. By studying and reasoning.
C. By carrying out researches.
D. By interviewing local people.
10. What can we learn from Pershing’s words?
A. The influences of climate change are unavoidable.
B. We should try to reduce carbon emissions greatly.
C. The fight against climate change is already working.
D. We have a promising future of the world environment.
11. What does the underlined word “unfold” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Let go.
B. Weaken.
C. Show up.
D. Strengthen.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了受海洋变暖影响,全球海洋热浪频发,这对生态系统和渔业等将产生重大影响,而这些事件往往对经济和人们生活具有深远影响。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“ “This kind of heat wave events has sprung up all over the ocean,” Pershing says.“We’ve actually had three major heat waves here — 2012, 2016 and 2018 and now we’re looking at repeat heat waves in the northern Pacific; Australia has also had some repeat heat waves. So it’s really becoming a part of the conversation in oceanography.”( “这种热浪事件在海洋中如雨后春笋般出现,”潘兴说。“我们这里实际上已经经历了三次主要的热浪——2012年、2016年和2018年,现在我们看到北太平洋将出现重复的热浪;澳大利亚也多次出现热浪。因此,这真的成为海洋学对话的一部分。”)”可知,第二段主要介绍了越来越频繁的热浪。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Abnormally hot water supported rapid increase of algae (藻类) that polluted the Dungeness crab fishery on the West Coast, shutting it down for months. Meanwhile, the so-called hot water off the coast has been connected with drought (干早) on land, which has led to a large number of fish runs, raised the risk of wildfires and resulted in water stress inland. (异常炎热的海水导致藻类迅速增加,污染了西海岸的邓杰内斯蟹渔业,导致该渔业关闭数月。与此同时,沿海所谓的热水与陆地干旱有关,导致大量鱼类洄游,增加了发生野火的风险,并导致内陆缺水)”可推知,作者通过研究和推理来解释热浪给渔民带来的灾难。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““Even if we cut carbon emissions right now, we are still looking at 20 to 30 years of change,” Pershing explains. “That means, whatever we do, we have to figure out how we are going to adapt to these changes.”(“即使我们现在减少碳排放,我们仍然需要20到30年的变化,”潘兴解释说。“这意味着,无论我们做什么,我们都必须弄清楚如何适应这些变化。”)”可推知,潘兴认为气候变化的影响是不可避免的,我们必须弄清楚如何适应这些变化。故选A。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Speeding up sea level rise, for example, will threaten billions of people and present an existential threat to millions who live in coastal communities and count on fishing. (例如,海平面加速上升将威胁到数十亿人,并对生活在沿海社区并依赖渔业为生的数百万人构成生存威胁)”可知,这些都是气候变化对海洋的一些影响。由此可知,气候变化对海洋的一些影响将在未来几年显现出来。由此推知,划线词unfold与show up(出现)意思接近。故选C。
D
School field trips have been part of the educational experience for children across the US for decades. While many schools believe there’s value in letting students develop socially with out-of-classroom experiences, measuring the influence and the value of field trips is difficult. And showing the value of out-of- class time can be challenging for teachers tasked with providing a good education.
As such, many art venues, science museums and zoos have reported drops in field trip attendance. Teachers and students have also reported falling numbers of school supported trips, particularly for minority students in academically low-performing schools.
But thanks to new research from Brigham Young University and the Heritage Foundation the value of field trips is finally being understood. The study used an experimental design and randomly assigned fourth-and fifth-grade students from fifteen elementary schools in Atlanta to join in three field trips during a school year. The field trips included a trip to a gallery, a live theater performance and a symphony concert.
Students who attended three different field trips in the fourth or fifth grade scored higher on end-of-grade exams, received higher course grades, were absent less often and had fewer behavioral problems. Besides academic(学业的) improvements, students who took part in field trips were more likely to express a desire to have careerism related fields in the future. In parents’ opinion, they are very interested in the academic quality of their children’s schools, but they’re also interested in the social skills and social engagement habits they develop. Field trips are easy ways to help facilitate both.
“We expected that field trips wouldn’t harm test scores. However, we never predicted the all-around improvements for students who joined in these field trips,” said Eriekson, a researcher in the study. “One potential reason for this is that field trips widen students’ world concepts and introduce them to new ideas. Similarly, students might be more engaged in school thanks to field trips. Students find school more exciting and want to try harder in class.”
12. Why do the number of school field trips drop?
A. Teachers give students too many tasks.
B. Schools have great problems with money.
C. The value of field trips is hard to be measured.
D. Students have difficulty in academic learning.
13. What is the theme of the field trips in the study?
A. Art.
B. Nature.
C. Sports.
D. Technology.
14. What can we infer about students who joined in the study?
A. They have more interests.
B. They have more self-control.
C. They become more creative.
D. They become more expressive.
15. What is Erickson’s attitude towards the result of the study?
A. Doubtful.
B. Surprised.
C. Disappointed.
D. Negative.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述由于实地考察的价值难以衡量,所以学校实地考察次数减少,但一项研究表明,参加实地考察的学生考试成绩更高,在课堂上表现更好。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“…measuring the influence and the value of field trips is difficult. And showing the value of out-of- class time can be challenging for teachers tasked with providing a good education.(但是衡量实地考察的影响和价值是困难的。对于负责提供良好教育的教师来说,展示课外时间的价值是一个挑战。)”可知,实地考察的价值很难被衡量,所以学校实地考察的次数下降了。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The field trips included a trip to a gallery, a live theater performance and a symphony concert.(实地考察包括参观艺术博物馆、现场戏剧表演和交响音乐会)”可知,在这项研究中实地考察的主题是艺术。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Students who attended three different field trips in the fourth or fifth grade scored higher on end-of-grade exams, received higher course grades, were absent less often and had fewer behavioral problems.(在四年级或五年级参加过三次不同实地考察的学生,在期末考试中得分更高,课程成绩更高,缺课次数更少,行为问题也更少)”可知,参加这项研究中的实地考察的学生缺课次数和行为问题更少,由此可推知,他们自控能力更好。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Erickson说的话“We expected that field trips wouldn’t harm test scores. However, we never predicted the all-around improvements for students who joined in these field trips(我们原以为实地考察不会影响考试成绩。然而,我们从未预料到参加这些实地考察的学生会有全面的进步)”可知,研究结果出乎Erickson的预料,他应是对此感到惊讶。故选B。
第二节 七选五(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。
The student syndrome (综合症) is a phenomenon where a large number of students put off doing things until right before the deadline (最后期限). ____16____ Since it involves unnecessary delay, it usually leads to negative results for those who display it. They will feel stressed and overwhelmed, and the task seems to be never finished.
To avoid the student syndrome, you should figure out what’s causing you to delay in the first place,and then use some techniques. ____17____
Break your tasks into small and manageable steps. For example, if you need to write an article, you can start with small steps, such as figuring out the title, creating a rough description, and finding five appropriate academic sources. Keep it in mind that if the project in question is large, then you generally shouldn’t worry about figuring out all the steps to it from the very beginning. ____18____ Then find new steps as you make progress along the way. This helps you avoid feeling upset and getting stuck.
____19____ For example if you have a single deadline for completing a large research paper, set additional deadlines along the way for completing specific parts of it. These additional deadlines to be met will make the very large research paper more manageable and less frightening.
Find your productivity cycles. People’s ability to complete certain tasks is different based on a great many factors such as the time of day. For example, it may be the case that you’re best able to concentrate on difficult tasks early in the morning, before you’ve started dealing with emails or minor administrative aspects of your job. ____20____
Follow these techniques and you are unlikely to wait until the last minute.
A. Establish specific goals for yourself.
B. Set intermediate (中间的) deadlines for yourself.
C. They can help you take action in a timely manner.
D. This phenomenon can be considered to be a form of delay.
E. You should take this into account when scheduling your work.
F. Instead, start by finding the first few steps that you need to take.
G. You should change your environment to make it easier for yourself to get started.
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. F 19. B 20. E

【16题详解】
上文“The student syndrome (综合症) is a phenomenon where a large number of students put off doing things until right before the deadline (最后期限).(学生综合症是指很多学生把事情推迟到截止日期前才做的现象)”解释了什么是学生综合症,结合下文“Since it involves unnecessary delay(因为它涉及到不必要的延迟)”可知,空处应是提及学生综合症与延迟的关系,D项“这种现象可以被认为是延迟的一种形式”符合语境,故选D。
【17题详解】
上文“To avoid the student syndrome, you should figure out what’s causing you to delay in the first place, and then use some techniques.(为了避免学生综合症,你应该首先弄清楚是什么原因导致你拖延,然后使用一些技巧)”提到可以使用一些避免学生综合症的技巧,空处应是接着说这些技巧的作用,C项“它们可以帮助你及时采取行动”符合语境,故选C。
【18题详解】
上文“Keep it in mind that if the project in question is large, then you generally shouldn’t worry about figuring out all the steps to it from the very beginning.(请记住,如果所讨论的项目是大型的,那么您通常不应该担心从一开始就确定所有步骤)”提到讨论大型项目时,不应该从一开始就确定所有步骤,空处应是接着说而是应该怎么做,F项“相反,从找到你需要采取的最初步骤开始”符合语境。故选F。
【19题详解】
空处是段落主题句,根据下文“For example, if you have a single deadline for completing a large research paper, set additional deadlines along the way for completing specific parts of it.(例如,如果你有一个完成一篇大型研究论文的截止日期,那么在完成具体部分的过程中设置额外的截止日期)”可知,本段主要讲述在大型论文的过程中设置截止日期,B项“为自己设定中间期限”符合语境,故选B。
【20题详解】
上文“For example, it may be the case that you’re best able to concentrate on difficult tasks early in the morning, before you’ve started dealing with emails or minor administrative aspects of your job.(例如,在你开始处理电子邮件或工作中次要的行政方面之前,你可能在清晨最能集中精力处理困难的任务)”举例说可能在清晨最能集中精力处理困难的任务,所以在安排工作时要考虑这一点,把困难的任务安排在清晨,E项“在安排工作时,你应该考虑到这一点”符合语境。故选E。
