Saisri Akondi was visiting a friend in Manipal just before the lockdown. Trapped by the travel ban, the researcher found herself frustrated at not being able to help during a national emergency. Back home, her colleagues at the National Chemical Laboratory worked on creative methods to deal with the pandemic（流行病）. She wanted to contribute in her own way. Soon, she spotted the opportunity.
On the evening of 11 May, she came across 50 migrants being questioned by the police. Akondi learned that they were railway construction workers, abandoned（抛弃）by their employer after the lockdown and were making their way to Mahabubabad, 680 kilometers away. “I immediately thought of helping them, noticing there were 10 children and a lady to give birth to a baby among them,” recalled Akondi.
Her first task was to register the group on a government entrance to help them get movement passes within the state. Then, she arranged for food and convinced the railway administrations to let the migrants stay at the Udupi station until their transport was arranged. Akondi next turned her attention to the women, arranging for vitamins for her. She continued to make frequent posts to the social media handles of the Telangana chief minister’s office, seeking attention and help. There was no response for days, but she did not give up. Her continuous efforts paid off. The Telangana government paid for the migrants’ travel back. On 19 May, the happy migrants were saying a tearful goodbye to Akondi and on 20 May, they reached their homes.
Akondi continued to help other stranded migrants reach their homes. Even as the world came to a standstill, this large-hearted woman became the ant that moved mountains.
24. What were the 50 migrants doing when Akondi first met them?
A. Buying tickets. B. Doing construction work.
C. Being questioned by the police. D. Staying at a train station.
25. Which of the following can best describe Akondi?
A. Kind and creative.
B. Brave and knowledgeable.
C. Generous and wise.
D. Helpful and considerate.
26. What does the underlined word “stranded” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Trapped B. Lost. C. Infected. D. Fined.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. Akondi was allowed to work for the travel ban.
B. Akondi contributed in a different way during the lockdown.
C. Construction workers suffered a lot during the lockdown.
D. Some construction workers were abandoned by their employer.
C
Endless queues and long waits at the ticket inspection desks at China’s major train stations were the characteristic of the Spring Festival travel rush before 2018. Every year, as the country’s biggest national holiday unfolded, a huge flow of travelers would leave staff at the check-in desks facing a dilemma（进退两难的境地）.
But with the application of artificial intelligence(AI) in dozens of train stations in 2018, including a facial recognition system which is able to process passenger identification within five seconds and therefore speed up the waiting process, busy scenes started to become something of the past.
When a passenger approaches the camera inside the facial recognition system at the station, it scans his face and then quickly compares it with the photograph shown on his identification card in real time. If the information matches, the gates will open and allow the passenger to go through.
Such use of facial recognition technology is in line with discussions heard at the recent two sessions meeting, a key annual political event, which focused on the widespread application of a security network named Tianwang (“Sky Net” in English) currently being used by China’s public security department.
The network, according to reports by the People’s Daily, is able to recognize the facial features of anyone in the world and match them on the spot with photographs on a database of criminal（犯罪的）suspects. In fact, it can analyze photographic identity so quickly that it can scan every single Chinese face on the planet in just one second, and it would only take two seconds to scan every face in the world, with an accuracy（精确）rate of up to 99.8 percent.
Those are just two examples that stress the development of Chinese visual AI technology, which industry insiders（内部人员）predict could lead to powerful growth in the technology field all over the world this year.
28. What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A. To explain the dilemma of the staff. B. To describe the Spring Festival.
C. To inform readers of the development of China. D. To introduce the following topic of the passage.
29. What’s the solution to the Spring Festival travel rush?
A. Opening more barrier gates. B. Using artificial intelligence.
C. Limiting the number of passengers. D. Increasing more staff at the check-in desks.
30. What can we know about facial recognition technology?
A. Its accuracy rate is very high.
B. Its application is useless to policemen.
C. Its operating speed is not yet high enough.
D. Its application leads to a heated discussion.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards Chinese visual AI technology?
A. Depressed. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
D
Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO ( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its importance, and its potential（潜力）as an unified voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to decrease and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible（易懂的）, and protect its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it’s not really to Americans’ taste,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to achieve is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization（语境重构）. In music, where does the emotion lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any deep understanding on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract（抽象的）as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to develop.”
32. Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
A. To protect cultural variety. B. To remember the birth of jazz.
C. To recognize the value of jazz. D. To encourage people to study music.
33. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Jazz becoming more accessible. B. The jazz audience becoming larger.
C. The production of jazz growing faster. D. Jazz being less popular with the young.
34. What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?
A. It should keep up with the times. B. It will disappear gradually.
C. It remains black and white. D. It changes every 50 years.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Rise and Fall of Jazz. B. Exploring the Future of Jazz.
C. Celebrating the Jazz Day. D. The Story of a Jazz Musician.

Ways to get your laughter back
Through all my school years, laughter was part of my life. My best friend and I came up with a name for the “really good” laughs. We called them Belly Rolls. That may sound silly, but it is the truth. However, after I realized I had “lost” my laughter, the first thing I thought of was how silly I was going to look and sound. 36 . This is how you do it.
37. It will be a forced laugh. I know it sounds silly, but trust me, if you can’t laugh by yourself and be comfortable, it’s even harder to laugh in a social situation where you think people are judging you.
Watch only funny programs on TV and at the movies. Be very selective of what you watch. 38 . If you cannot give up those programs absolutely, then watch only half an hour of them a day. Give yourself a fighting chance and make it a point to bring laughter into your life.
Invite your friends and family to make it funny! Don’t wait too long before you start laughing socially. Ask someone close to you to point out the fun in life. Maybe they can promise to tell a joke to you every day or sit with you during a half-hour situation comedy. 39 .
While driving, go over your day and remember everything funny. 40 . Not only will this help you laugh more, but it will keep you feeling happy. If you are spending all your time remembering the good times you had for the day, it doesn’t leave much time to think over negative things!
A. Look in a mirror and laugh.
B. Use this time in a positive way.
C. Laughter is so much more fun when you’re with someone else.
D. In our busy world, laughter seems to have been lost along the way.
E. One easy way to find laughter is to go to funny movies or watch them on TV.
F. If you haven’t truly laughed for a long time, you have to Fake It until you Make It.
G. If you’re a heavy watcher of news programs and political stations, it’s hard to feel happy.

M: Probably. They're very skilled.
W: OK, I'll do it! What's the point of living in China if you don't take advantage of the cool things about living here? Getting a suit made in the U.S. would cost a fortune!

W: Great! Then we can hit the shoe stores afterwards!

During the past ten years or so, I have been suffering from terrible headaches. And it seems to be getting worse. Late last night, I got a sudden headache that was worse than all the others.It was so terrible that I could hardly bear it. Although I took all kinds of painkillers, I didn't feel any better. It seemed that there was nothing else I could do, so I called my doctor and asked him to come over. One of our neighbors happened to be with us at the time. He was not a doctor, but he offered his help, saying, "Do you mind if I try a special kind of traditional Chinese treatment on you? These needles might help with your headaches." I agreed. Then he quickly took out a few needles from his bag and put a few needles into the skin on my head in several different places. Before long, I felt completely better. Just then, the doctor came running into my house and said, "Where is our patient?" "Sorry, Doctor. You are too late. The pain is gone!" I answered in delight. "It's a miracle, isn't it?"

34. A. 根据第五段中的The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same可知Moran认为现在爵士乐不能以1908或1958年的方式来呈现，因为世界已经不同了，所以爵士乐必须不断进步，说明随着时代的发展，爵士乐也要跟上时代才不会被年轻一代所抛弃。故选A。
35. B . 通读全文可知本文主要讲UNESCO为提高人们对爵士乐的重视而设立爵士日，但实际收效甚微。有人认为爵士乐应随着时代的进步而进步，否则它将失去对人们的吸引力，因此本文主要是探索爵士乐的未来，故选B。

50. D. 由空后“could be discovered by observation by degrees”可知，很多真理可以通过观察而被发现。truths“真理”，上文中的“many important truths”也是提示。
51. A. 根据常识可知本句句意是在伽利略之前，有学问的人认为，大的物体比小的物体更快地坠向地面，故A选项正确。

72. 此处缺少形容词修饰名词短语“food security”，故填“global”。
73. 粮食减损大会已经闭幕，句子中有谓语“attract”，故此处应该用hold的过去分词“held”修饰event ，逻辑上是被动关系。
74. 此处缺少主语，而主语又指前面的“28 million tons of food”, 故用which引导非限定性定语从句，在从句中做主语。

Saisri Akondi was visiting a friend in Manipal just before the lockdown. Trapped by the travel ban, the researcher found herself frustrated at not being able to help during a national emergency. Back home, her colleagues at the National Chemical Laboratory worked on creative methods to deal with the pandemic（流行病）. She wanted to contribute in her own way. Soon, she spotted the opportunity.
On the evening of 11 May, she came across 50 migrants being questioned by the police. Akondi learned that they were railway construction workers, abandoned（抛弃）by their employer after the lockdown and were making their way to Mahabubabad, 680 kilometers away. “I immediately thought of helping them, noticing there were 10 children and a lady to give birth to a baby among them,” recalled Akondi.
Her first task was to register the group on a government entrance to help them get movement passes within the state. Then, she arranged for food and convinced the railway administrations to let the migrants stay at the Udupi station until their transport was arranged. Akondi next turned her attention to the women, arranging for vitamins for her. She continued to make frequent posts to the social media handles of the Telangana chief minister’s office, seeking attention and help. There was no response for days, but she did not give up. Her continuous efforts paid off. The Telangana government paid for the migrants’ travel back. On 19 May, the happy migrants were saying a tearful goodbye to Akondi and on 20 May, they reached their homes.
Akondi continued to help other stranded migrants reach their homes. Even as the world came to a standstill, this large-hearted woman became the ant that moved mountains.
24. What were the 50 migrants doing when Akondi first met them?
A. Buying tickets. B. Doing construction work.
C. Being questioned by the police. D. Staying at a train station.
25. Which of the following can best describe Akondi?

B. Brave and knowledgeable.
C. Generous and wise.
D. Helpful and considerate.
26. What does the underlined word “stranded” in the last paragraph mean?

27. What is the text mainly about?

B. Akondi contributed in a different way during the lockdown.
C. Construction workers suffered a lot during the lockdown.
D. Some construction workers were abandoned by their employer.

Endless queues and long waits at the ticket inspection desks at China’s major train stations were the characteristic of the Spring Festival travel rush before 2018. Every year, as the country’s biggest national holiday unfolded, a huge flow of travelers would leave staff at the check-in desks facing a dilemma（进退两难的境地）.
But with the application of artificial intelligence(AI) in dozens of train stations in 2018, including a facial recognition system which is able to process passenger identification within five seconds and therefore speed up the waiting process, busy scenes started to become something of the past.
When a passenger approaches the camera inside the facial recognition system at the station, it scans his face and then quickly compares it with the photograph shown on his identification card in real time. If the information matches, the gates will open and allow the passenger to go through.
Such use of facial recognition technology is in line with discussions heard at the recent two sessions meeting, a key annual political event, which focused on the widespread application of a security network named Tianwang (“Sky Net” in English) currently being used by China’s public security department.
The network, according to reports by the People’s Daily, is able to recognize the facial features of anyone in the world and match them on the spot with photographs on a database of criminal（犯罪的）suspects. In fact, it can analyze photographic identity so quickly that it can scan every single Chinese face on the planet in just one second, and it would only take two seconds to scan every face in the world, with an accuracy（精确）rate of up to 99.8 percent.
Those are just two examples that stress the development of Chinese visual AI technology, which industry insiders（内部人员）predict could lead to powerful growth in the technology field all over the world this year.
28. What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A. To explain the dilemma of the staff. B. To describe the Spring Festival.
C. To inform readers of the development of China. D. To introduce the following topic of the passage.
29. What’s the solution to the Spring Festival travel rush?
A. Opening more barrier gates. B. Using artificial intelligence.
C. Limiting the number of passengers. D. Increasing more staff at the check-in desks.
30. What can we know about facial recognition technology?
A. Its accuracy rate is very high.
B. Its application is useless to policemen.
C. Its operating speed is not yet high enough.
D. Its application leads to a heated discussion.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards Chinese visual AI technology?
A. Depressed. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
D
Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO ( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its importance, and its potential（潜力）as an unified voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to decrease and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible（易懂的）, and protect its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it’s not really to Americans’ taste,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to achieve is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization（语境重构）. In music, where does the emotion lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any deep understanding on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract（抽象的）as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to develop.”
32. Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
A. To protect cultural variety. B. To remember the birth of jazz.
C. To recognize the value of jazz. D. To encourage people to study music.
33. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Jazz becoming more accessible. B. The jazz audience becoming larger.
C. The production of jazz growing faster. D. Jazz being less popular with the young.
34. What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?
A. It should keep up with the times. B. It will disappear gradually.
C. It remains black and white. D. It changes every 50 years.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Rise and Fall of Jazz. B. Exploring the Future of Jazz.
C. Celebrating the Jazz Day. D. The Story of a Jazz Musician.

Ways to get your laughter back
Through all my school years, laughter was part of my life. My best friend and I came up with a name for the “really good” laughs. We called them Belly Rolls.

37. It will be a forced laugh. I know it sounds silly, but trust me, if you can’t laugh by yourself and be comfortable, it’s even harder to laugh in a social situation where you think people are judging you.
Watch only funny programs on TV and at the movies. Be very selective of what you watch. 38 . If you cannot give up those programs absolutely, then watch only half an hour of them a day. Give yourself a fighting chance and make it a point to bring laughter into your life.
Invite your friends and family to make it funny! Don’t wait too long before you start laughing socially. Ask someone close to you to point out the fun in life. Maybe they can promise to tell a joke to you every day or sit with you during a half-hour situation comedy. 39 .
While driving, go over your day and remember everything funny. 40 . Not only will this help you laugh more, but it will keep you feeling happy. If you are spending all your time remembering the good times you had for the day, it doesn’t leave much time to think over negative things!
A. Look in a mirror and laugh.
B. Use this time in a positive way.
C. Laughter is so much more fun when you’re with someone else.
D. In our busy world, laughter seems to have been lost along the way.
E. One easy way to find laughter is to go to funny movies or watch them on TV.
F. If you haven’t truly laughed for a long time, you have to Fake It until you Make It.

The rise of modern science may be considered to 45 as far back as the time of Roger Bacon, the wonderful philosopher of Oxford, who lived between the years 1214 and 1293. He was probably the first in the Middle Ages to 46 that we should learn science by 47 and experimenting on the things around us, and he himself 48 many important truths.
Galileo (1564-1642), however, who lived more than 300 years later, was the greatest of several great men in Italy, France, Germany, and England, 49 began to show how many important 50 could be discovered by observation by degrees. Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more 51 towards the earth than small ones, 52 Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the 53 of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, let two 54 stones fall and proved Aristotle was wrong. It is Galileo’s 55 of going direct to nature, and proving our 56 and theories by experiment, that has 57 all the discoveries of modern science.
What 58 those people good scientists? From the example of Galileo, we know clearly that 59 scientists are those whose observations have 60 better results.

W: OK, I'll do it! What's the point of living in China if you don't take advantage of the cool things about living here? Getting a suit made in the U.S. would cost a fortune!

W: Great! Then we can hit the shoe stores afterwards!

During the past ten years or so, I have been suffering from terrible headaches. And it seems to be getting worse. Late last night, I got a sudden headache that was worse than all the others.It was so terrible that I could hardly bear it. Although I took all kinds of painkillers, I didn't feel any better. It seemed that there was nothing else I could do, so I called my doctor and asked him to come over. One of our neighbors happened to be with us at the time. He was not a doctor, but he offered his help, saying, "Do you mind if I try a special kind of traditional Chinese treatment on you? These needles might help with your headaches." I agreed. Then he quickly took out a few needles from his bag and put a few needles into the skin on my head in several different places. Before long, I felt completely better. Just then, the doctor came running into my house and said, "Where is our patient?" "Sorry, Doctor. You are too late. The pain is gone!" I answered in delight. "It's a miracle, isn't it?"

D篇：这是一篇说明文，介绍了国际爵士乐日的设立及面临的问题，讨论了爵士乐的未来。为提高人们对于爵士乐的重视程度，UNESCO把4月30日定为国际爵士日，然而这一行为还是没能挽救爵士乐。Jason Moran认为时代在进步，为了将老一代人和年轻一代人连接起来，爵士乐也应该不断进步。

C. 根据第一段中的UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its importance, and its potential as a unified-voice across cultures.可知UNESCO把4月30日定为国际爵士日是为了让人们重视爵士乐，意识到它的重要性以及它作为连接各文化的纽带之声的潜在功能，也就是为了让人们意识到爵士乐的价值。故选C。

34. A. 根据第五段中的The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same可知Moran认为现在爵士乐不能以1908或1958年的方式来呈现，因为世界已经不同了，所以爵士乐必须不断进步，说明随着时代的发展，爵士乐也要跟上时代才不会被年轻一代所抛弃。故选A。
35. B . 通读全文可知本文主要讲UNESCO为提高人们对爵士乐的重视而设立爵士日，但实际收效甚微。有人认为爵士乐应随着时代的进步而进步，否则它将失去对人们的吸引力，因此本文主要是探索爵士乐的未来，故选B。

41. C. 由语境可知此处是make full use of"充分利用，充分使用"这一固定词组。一个成功的科学家通常是一个好的观察者。他充分利用他观察到的事实。故C选项正确。
42. D. 该空前的"He doesn't accept ideas"和后面的"on obvious facts"可知，此处是be based on这个固定词组，表示"以……为基础，基于……"。他不接受不以明显事实为基础的观点，因此拒绝接受权威是唯一的真理。故D选项正确。
43. C. 由空前“doesn’t accept”和“and therefore”可知，此处C合适，表示“拒绝”。
44. A.结合语境 He always checks ideas和后面的and does experiments to prove them可知，此处表示仔细地核查想法。故A选项正确。
45. B.由下文的"the years 1214 and 1292"可知，现代科学的兴起可以追溯到很早的时期。故B选项正确。

49. B. 根据语意，然而，生活在300多年后的伽利略（1564-1642）是意大利、法国、德国和英国几位伟人中最伟大的一位，他们开始展示通过逐步观察可以发现多少重要的真理。who引导定语从句修饰great men。故B选项正确。
50. D. 由空后“could be discovered by observation by degrees”可知，很多真理可以通过观察而被发现。truths“真理”，上文中的“many important truths”也是提示。
51. A. 根据常识可知本句句意是在伽利略之前，有学问的人认为，大的物体比小的物体更快地坠向地面，故A选项正确。
52. C. 根据语境可知，这里表示因为亚里士多德是这样说的。
53. D. 结合空后的"of the Leaning Tower of Pisa，let fall two （ ）stones"可知，伽利略跑到了比萨斜塔的塔顶。故D选项正确。
54. B. 考查形容词及语境理解。前文和后面的"stones and proved Aristotle was wrong"可知，此处表示使用了两块不同重量的石头，因此选unequal"不相等的"。故B选项正确。
55. A. 由后面的"of going direct to nature"可知，此处表示科学精神（spirit）。故A选项正确。
56. B. 与后面"and theories by experiment"中的theories呼应，此处表示通过实验证明我们的观点和理论。故B选项正确。
57. B. 这里是说正是伽利略的这种精神使得现代科学能有所发现。结合语境。故B选项正确。
58. A. 结合下文中的"scientists are those..."可知，此处是说"什么使这些人成为好的科学家"。故A选项正确。
59. C. 从伽利略的例子中，我们清楚地知道，成功的科学家是那些其观察产生了更好结果的科学家，与第一段“Do you think you have what it takes to be a successful scientist?”中的successful首尾呼应，故C选项正确。
60. D. 此处指那些科学家们的观察得出了更好的结果。故D选项正确。
语法填空：这是一篇说明文，介绍了在中国召开的国际粮食减损大会的主要内容，分析了目前粮食浪费的主要现状，以及中国为此做出的努力，呼吁反对浪费。
71. 根据语境，此处world是抽象名词，指整个世界，因为只有一个世界，故必须加“the”。
72. 此处缺少形容词修饰名词短语“food security”，故填“global”。
73. 粮食减损大会已经闭幕，句子中有谓语“attract”，故此处应该用hold的过去分词“held”修饰event ，逻辑上是被动关系。
74. 此处缺少主语，而主语又指前面的“28 million tons of food”, 故用which引导非限定性定语从句，在从句中做主语。
75. 此句缺少谓语动词，句中“in recent years”是现在完成时的标志词，主语是单数且与谓语之间是主谓关系，故填has made。
76. and 连接两个并列成分，facilities是可数名词，而equip的名词equipment是不可数名词,故填equipment。
77. 根据语境，此处用不定式表目的，故填“to ensure”。
78. 分析句子结构可知，此处需要year的副词来修饰动词save，故填yearly，表示“每年地”。
79. 分析句子结构可知，此空前后都是两个完成的句子，故应该填连词，结合语境，此处为条件状语从句，填if。
80. 固定搭配，contribute to，此处意为“贡献”。
