Cities have been described as essential to climate change solutions, but they can also raise the kinds of ecologists that will bring us into a more comprehensive biological future.
As a black wildlife biologist from Philadelphia, I stood out among my coworkers. My presence in ecology has challenged assumptions about not only what a biologist looks like, but also where a biologist comes from. In the U.S., ecology was and is mainly white and conducted in rural landscapes, but I had no history of camping, fishing, hunting or hiking. I had yet to recognize that Philadelphia, with its four seasons and richness of squirrels (松鼠), row homes and festivals, was actually my first ecological classroom. There I witnessed wild cats eating birds and rats, people shooting bats from their homes and snakes being killed by lawn mowers (割草机). This is as much ecology in action as anything we witness in fields and forests.
Urban wild animals exhibit many features and behaviors that set them apart from their rural twins: they may be bigger, eat more diverse food sources, are active at different times of the day, move differently and have different personalities. Some biologists argue they are even “smarter”. Besides, urban wildlife balances more risks—such as road chemical poisons and diseases from domestic animals—with rewards. Some of those rewards come from humans providing food and some from the distribution of our parks and water bodies.
In our professional lives as biologists, living with such wild animals can make us more tolerant of species diversity, which can benefit the natural world. Nature is no longer only primitive wilderness but includes sounds of human laughter and garbage trucks. We expect more biologists from urban settings because urban environments naturally train keen observers who are the future of ecology.
4. Which makes the author stand out among his coworkers?
A His nationality. B. His city background.
C. His interest in outdoor activities. D. His love for animals.
5. What does the underlined “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Urban wild animals. B. Rural animals.
C. Domestic animals. D. Wildlife biologists.
6. What do we know about urban wild animals?
A. They have trouble in getting food. B. They enjoy safer living conditions.
C. They do better in fighting diseases. D. They are more adaptable to environment.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Urban Wild Animals Survive. B. Benefits of City Conservation.
C. Cities Build Better Biologists. D. A Black Biologist from Philadelphia.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As a black wildlife biologist from Philadelphia, I stood out among my coworkers.”（作为一名来自费城的黑人野生动物生物学家，我在同事中脱颖而出。）可知，作者与其他的生物学家与众不同的地方在于他的城市背景。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“Urban wild animals exhibit many features and behaviors that set them apart from their rural twins: they may be bigger, eat more diverse food sources, are active at different times of the day, move differently and have different personalities.”（城市野生动物表现出许多将他们与农村的双胞胎兄弟们区分开来的特征和行为：他们更大，食物来源更加多样，在一天中不同的时间段活动，行动也不同并且有不同的性格。）可知，第三段中的they指代的是上文提到的城市的野生动物。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Besides, urban wildlife balances more risks—such as road chemical poisons and diseases from domestic animals—with rewards. Some of those rewards come from humans providing food and some from the distribution of our parks and water bodies.”（此外，城市野生动物还能有回报地平衡更多的风险——如道路化学毒物和来自家禽的疾病。其中一些这样的回报来自于人类提供的食物，还有一些来自公园和水体的分布。）可知，和乡村的野生动物相比，城市野生动物善于利用城市环境生存，推断出他们更加适应环境。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Cities have been described as essential to climate change solutions, but they can also raise the kinds of ecologists that will bring us into a more comprehensive biological future.”（城市对气候改变的解决方式至关重要，但他们也可以培养出各种生态学家，将我们带入一个更全面的生态学未来。）和最后一段“We expect more biologists from urban settings because urban environments naturally train keen observers who are the future of ecology.”（我们期待更多来自城市环境的生物学家，因为城市环境培养出对于生态环境的未来敏锐的观察者。）可知，文章首尾呼应，点明主题——城市可以培养出更好的生物学家。故选C项。
C
Chatting in her bright two bedroom flat, Shirley Meredeen, aged 91, doesn’t hesitate in describing the benefits of living here. “It keeps my brain going. We are all very active because there is so much to do...We’re really lucky to have such a supportive community.”
In 1998, Meredeen first heard of the concept of cohousing as developed in the Netherlands and decided to copy its model in the UK and create the Older Women Cohousing (OWCH) with her friends. But they didn’t imagine that it would be an 18-year struggle. The novelty of the idea coupled with the lack of data to prove the social and economic benefits made it difficult for them to access public money. Councils always compared their idea to sheltered accommodation and saw it as a burden for their already overstretched budgets.
In fact, the community-led housing is a departure from the conventional understanding of later life. Now, the community comprises 25 flats as well as a shared kitchen, meeting room, laundry, garden, car park and a guest room. People live together based on interdependence. They can take control of their future instead of relying on their families or care homes. All the neighbours look out for each other, not after each other, which means accompanying to medical appointments, doing the local shopping, having family contacts in preparation for an emergency... But the limits of such informal care among residents still need to be worked out.
OWCH has paved the way to alternative living arrangements in later life and the support for community-led housing is starting to emerge in the form of guidance and funding, according to UK Cohousing Network.
8. What do we know about Meredeen?
A. She first tried cohousing in the Netherlands.
B. She is a regular visitor to OWCH.
C. She is a pioneer in elderly care service.
D. She founded OWCH single-handed.
9. Why did it take such a long time to set up OWCH?
A. It didn’t benefit social economy. B. It didn’t keep up with the time.
C. It called for careful budgeting. D. It was hard to get public funding.
10. Which is probably the reason why seniors choose OWCH?
A. They are more independent. B. They are responsible for each other.
C. They receive more care services. D. They can rely on their relatives.
11. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To describe an ambitious figure. B. To introduce a new lifestyle of seniors.
C. To ensure elderly people’s welfare. D. To inspire the aged to achieve their dreams.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In 1998, Meredeen first heard of the concept of cohousing as developed in the Netherlands and decided to copy its model in the UK and create the Older Women Cohousing (OWCH) with her friends. (1998年，梅雷迪恩第一次听说荷兰开发的共居概念，并决定在英国复制其模式，与她的朋友一起创建了老年妇女共居（OWCH）)”可推知，Meredeen是老年护理服务的先驱。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The novelty of the idea coupled with the lack of data to prove the social and economic benefits made it difficult for them to access public money. (这个想法的新颖性加上缺乏证明社会和经济效益的数据，使得他们很难获得公共资金)”可知，建立OWCH需要这么长时间是因为很难获得公共资金，故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“They can take control of their future instead of relying on their families or care homes. (他们可以掌控自己的未来，而不是依赖家人或养老院)”可推知，老年人选择OWCH的原因可能是他们更加独立。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In 1998, Meredeen first heard of the concept of cohousing as developed in the Netherlands and decided to copy its model in the UK and create the Older Women Cohousing (OWCH) with her friends. (1998年，梅雷迪恩第一次听说荷兰开发的共居概念，并决定在英国复制其模式，与她的朋友一起创建了老年妇女共居（OWCH）)”及最后一段中的“OWCH has paved the way to alternative living arrangements in later life and the support for community-led housing is starting to emerge in the form of guidance and funding, according to UK Cohousing Network. (据英国同居网络报道，OWCH为以后的生活安排铺平了道路，对社区主导住房的支持开始以指导和资助的形式出现)”可推知，本文目的是介绍一种老年人的新生活方式。故选B。
D
We live in an age when all scientific knowledge — from the safety of vaccines (疫苗) to the reality of climate change — faces organized and often angry opposition. Doubters have declared war on the consensus (共识) of experts. It seems that people have turned argumentative overnight.
In a sense, all this is not surprising. Our lives are affected by science and technology as never before. The world seems full of real and imaginary dangers. Though scientists agree that the Ebola virus is spread only by direct contact with blood or body fluids (液体), if you type “airborne Ebola” into an Internet search engine, you’ll find that some people believe that this virus has almost supernatural powers.
In this often confusing world, we need to rely on science to decide whether what we choose to believe has a basis in the laws of nature or not. But science doesn’t come naturally to most of us. Science has often led us to truths that are really mind-blowing. For example, although the roundness of the Earth has been known for thousands of years, some still feel it hard to accept.
Even when people become scientifically educated most of them still try to make sense of the world by relying on personal experience, stories or emotions rather than statistics. When they hear a number of cancer cases in a town with a dangerous waste dump (垃圾场), they believe pollution caused the cancers. Yet two things happening together doesn’t mean one caused the other. Even when they turn to the Internet, they let in only the information they agree with to strengthen beliefs that have already been shaped by their worldview.
How can scientists convince doubters? Throwing more facts at people may not be enough. More efforts are supposed to be made.
12. What’s the text mainly about?
A. How people view the world. B. What challenges science faces.
C. Whether science is worth respect. D. Why people show disbelief in science.
13. What does the underlined word “mind-blowing” probably mean?
A. Unbelievable. B. Desirable.
C. Dangerous. D. Obvious.
14. How do “people” in paragraph 4 understand the world?
A. They apply logical thinking.
B. They stick to their own beliefs.
C. They form the views on assumptions.
D. They rely on the information on the Internet.
15. How does the author prove his opinions?
A. Through comparison. B. Through quotation.
C. By giving examples. D. By making definitions.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“We live in an age when all scientific knowledge — from the safety of vaccines (疫苗) to the reality of climate change — faces organized and often angry opposition. (我们生活在这样一个时代，从疫苗的安全性到气候变化的现实，所有的科学知识都面临着有组织的、经常是愤怒的反对)”，第二段中的“In a sense, all this is not surprising.(从某种意义上说，这一切并不令人惊讶)”，第三段中的“But science doesn’t come naturally to most of us. (但科学对我们大多数人来说并不是天生的)”及第四段中的“Even when people become scientifically educated, most of them still try to make sense of the world by relying on personal experience, stories or emotions rather than statistics.(即使人们接受了科学教育，他们中的大多数人仍然试图通过个人经验、故事或情感而不是统计数据来理解世界)”可知，文章主要论述了为什么人们对科学表示怀疑。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“For example, although the roundness of the Earth has been known for thousands of years, some still feel it hard to accept.(例如，尽管地球的圆度已经有数千年的历史，但有些人仍然觉得难以接受)”可知，有些事实和真相让一些人难以接受。由此推知，划线词mind-blowing与unbelievable(难以置信的)意思接近。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Even when people become scientifically educated, most of them still try to make sense of the world by relying on personal experience, stories or emotions rather than statistics. When they hear a number of cancer cases in a town with a dangerous waste dump (垃圾场), they believe pollution caused the cancers. Yet two things happening together doesn’t mean one caused the other. Even when they turn to the Internet, they let in only the information they agree with to strengthen beliefs that have already been shaped by their worldview.(即使人们接受了科学教育，他们中的大多数人仍然试图依靠个人经验、故事或情感来理解世界，而不是统计数据。当他们听说一个有危险垃圾场的小镇上有一些癌症病例时，他们认为是污染导致了癌症。然而，两件事同时发生并不意味着一件事导致了另一件事。即使他们求助于互联网，他们也只允许他们同意的信息进入，以加强已经被他们的世界观所塑造的信念)”可推知，第四段中的人们依靠自己的信念去理解世界。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Though scientists agree that the Ebola virus is spread only by direct contact with blood or body fluids (液体), if you type “airborne Ebola” into an Internet search engine, you’ll find that some people believe that this virus has almost supernatural powers.(尽管科学家们一致认为埃博拉病毒只能通过直接接触血液或体液传播，但如果你在互联网搜索引擎中输入“空气传播埃博拉”，你会发现一些人相信这种病毒几乎具有超自然的力量)”，第三段中的“For example, although the roundness of the Earth has been known for thousands of years, some still feel it hard to accept.(例如，尽管地球的圆度已经有数千年的历史，但有些人仍然觉得难以接受)”和第四段中的“When they hear a number of cancer cases in a town with a dangerous waste dump (垃圾场), they believe pollution caused the cancers. Yet two things happening together doesn’t mean one caused the other.(当他们听说一个有危险垃圾场的小镇上有一些癌症病例时，他们认为是污染导致了癌症。然而，两件事同时发生并不意味着一件事导致了另一件事)”可推知，作者通过举例来证明了他的观点。故选C。
第二节（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。
Back in January, I was determined to get fit seriously. ____16____ But then just as I was close to giving up again, I discovered a brilliant new way to make exercise better: by turning it into a video-game.
Zwift is essentially a cycling game that you control by riding your real bike, which is equipped with a device called a turbo-trainer. This makes it like an exercise bike. As you ride, the trainer sends signals to your computer or tablet to control the character on screen. ____17____ For example, as you’re cycling up a hill in the game, you can actually feel the different levels of resistance on the bike.
After signing up for a £12/month subscription you can participate in virtual cycle rides in 3D-recreations of real places, like London or in fantastical fictional locations invented by the game designers. ____18____ As you cycle along The Mall towards Buckingham Palace, other real human cyclists appear alongside you, sharing the journey. Though it is obviously only a game, just seeing the character move is surprisingly motivating.
____19____ Go a little faster and you’ll be rewarded with a little achievement marker. If you ride harder, you might win a race against another real player and unlock a new item in a regular video game, which can never be matched by a traditional exercise bike.
I’m not the only person who has noticed this. ____20____ Today there are many other companies chasing the same audience, and they all offer their own unique twists on the formula.
A. Zwift makes it easy to work out.
B. And importantly, you’re not alone.
C. The rest of the tech industry has, too.
D. I played Zwift, a cycling game for training.
E. And then the game sends instructions back to the trainer.
F. Smartly, the tricks of video-games will keep pushing you.
G. This would mean hours’ stretching and sweating each week.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. B 19. F 20. C
【解析】
【16题详解】
上文“Back in January, I was determined to get fit seriously.(早在一月份，我就下定决心要认真减肥)”提到了减肥，选项中this是关键词，与上文的get fit呼应，所以G选项“这意味着每周要花好几个小时拉伸和流汗”承接上文构成顺承关系，符合语境。故选G项。
【17题详解】
上文“As you ride, the trainer sends signals to your computer or tablet to control the character on screen.(当你骑的时候，训练器会向你的电脑或平板电脑发送信号来控制屏幕上的角色)”提到了发送信号，E项中sends是关键词，与上文的sends呼应，所以E选项“然后游戏将指令发送回训练器”承接上文内容，符合语境。故选E项。
【18题详解】
下文“As you cycle along The Mall towards Buckingham Palace, other real human cyclists appear alongside you, sharing the journey.(当你沿着林荫大道向白金汉宫骑行时，其他真正的骑自行车的人会出现在你身边，分享你的旅程)”提到了其他骑自行车的人，B选项中not alone是关键词，与下文的other real human cyclists构成因果关系，所以B选项“重要的是，你并不孤单”，符合语境。故选B项。
【19题详解】
下文“Go a little faster and you’ll be rewarded with a little achievement marker. If you ride harder, you might win a race against another real player and unlock a new item in a regular video game, which can never be matched by a traditional exercise bike.(再快一点，你就会得到一个小小的成就标记。如果你骑得更努力，你可能会在与另一个真正的玩家的比赛中获胜，并在普通的电子游戏中解锁一个新物品，这是传统的健身自行车永远无法比拟的)”提到了推动你不断前进的一些技巧，F选项中pushing是关键词，与下文的faster和harder呼应，所以F选项“巧妙地，电子游戏的技巧将继续推动你”能概括下文内容，符合语境。故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文“I’m not the only person who has noticed this.(我不是唯一一个注意到这一点的人)”提到了不是唯一的人，C选项中too是关键词，与上文构成顺承关系，所以C选项“科技行业的其他公司也是如此”承接上文，符合语境。故选C项。

47. 阅读下面材料，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。
A Community Puts on a Dazzling Display of Support
In Sara’s family, putting up Christmas lights was always a big day of celebration. Every year, just after Thanksgiving Day, her dad Anthony, 70, would visit local stores to check out new decorations and then excitedly string lights and hang decorations in and out of the house. The dazzling (绚烂的) display made him a hit in the community.
On 2020 Christmas Eve, as usual, the whole house twinkled with lights, and gifts were piled under the tree. While everyone was looking forward to enjoying another Christmas together as a family, Sara, got a call: the whole family had tested positive for COVID-19. Their Christmas celebration had to be canceled.
At first, everyone’s symptoms (症状) seemed manageable. But right after the new year, Anthony started having trouble breathing and unfortunately passed away two weeks later, though the rest had recovered from COVID-19. The following week of planning the funeral was the worst for Sara and her husband, Frank. Sorrow left them doubled over in pain. The saddest of all was that no neighbours attended her father’s funeral. Only the twinkling Christmas lights at night brought them a little bit joy. The lights were one of the last moments they had of their beloved father, so they kept them up.
One morning in February, Sara received an envelope. “Take your Christmas lights down! It’s Valentine’s Day!!!” the unsigned letter read. Sara looked at the paper in shock. Then she got angry. She could have bottled up that anger, but she decided to write about it instead. She logged on to a local community Facebook group and shared the letter. She ended the post with this: “We all had a tough year. Be kind to people because you never know what they are going through.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Half an hour later, Frank rushed into the room excitedly, with his phone in the hand.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When night fell, Sara and Frank were surprised by what they saw outside.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Half an hour later, Frank rushed into the room excitedly, with his phone in the hand. “Honey, your post goes viral!” exclaimed Frank. Sara hesitantly took over the phone and found hundreds of likes and comments under the post. Some expressed their grief over the loss of her beloved dad and some showed anger towards the letter writer. While slowly swiping across the screen with her fingertip and reading each comment, she was so moved that tears streamed down her cheeks. And during the whole day Sara and Frank were bathed in the neighbours’ kindness and warmth.
When night fell, Sara and Frank were surprised by what they saw outside. Against the black night, she noticed the neighbourhood was like a sea of lights. With the catchy Christmas songs echoing softly, the roofs of the buildings, the windows, the gardens, the trees, the fences... all twinkled with colorful Christmas lights and were wrapped with Christmas decorations. Undoubtedly, the neighbours had collectively hung their lights back. Seeing that, Sara and Frank burst into tears. For them, the dazzling lights were not only the honour and memory of their beloved father, but also an overwhelming display of the neighbours’ support.

Cities have been described as essential to climate change solutions, but they can also raise the kinds of ecologists that will bring us into a more comprehensive biological future.
As a black wildlife biologist from Philadelphia, I stood out among my coworkers. My presence in ecology has challenged assumptions about not only what a biologist looks like, but also where a biologist comes from. In the U.S., ecology was and is mainly white and conducted in rural landscapes, but I had no history of camping, fishing, hunting or hiking. I had yet to recognize that Philadelphia, with its four seasons and richness of squirrels (松鼠), row homes and festivals, was actually my first ecological classroom. There I witnessed wild cats eating birds and rats, people shooting bats from their homes and snakes being killed by lawn mowers (割草机). This is as much ecology in action as anything we witness in fields and forests.
Urban wild animals exhibit many features and behaviors that set them apart from their rural twins: they may be bigger, eat more diverse food sources, are active at different times of the day, move differently and have different personalities. Some biologists argue they are even “smarter”. Besides, urban wildlife balances more risks—such as road chemical poisons and diseases from domestic animals—with rewards. Some of those rewards come from humans providing food and some from the distribution of our parks and water bodies.
In our professional lives as biologists, living with such wild animals can make us more tolerant of species diversity, which can benefit the natural world. Nature is no longer only primitive wilderness but includes sounds of human laughter and garbage trucks. We expect more biologists from urban settings because urban environments naturally train keen observers who are the future of ecology.
4. Which makes the author stand out among his coworkers?
A His nationality. B. His city background.
C. His interest in outdoor activities. D. His love for animals.
5. What does the underlined “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Urban wild animals. B. Rural animals.
C. Domestic animals. D. Wildlife biologists.
6. What do we know about urban wild animals?
A. They have trouble in getting food. B. They enjoy safer living conditions.
C. They do better in fighting diseases. D. They are more adaptable to environment.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Urban Wild Animals Survive. B. Benefits of City Conservation.
C. Cities Build Better Biologists. D. A Black Biologist from Philadelphia.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As a black wildlife biologist from Philadelphia, I stood out among my coworkers.”（作为一名来自费城的黑人野生动物生物学家，我在同事中脱颖而出。）可知，作者与其他的生物学家与众不同的地方在于他的城市背景。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“Urban wild animals exhibit many features and behaviors that set them apart from their rural twins: they may be bigger, eat more diverse food sources, are active at different times of the day, move differently and have different personalities.”（城市野生动物表现出许多将他们与农村的双胞胎兄弟们区分开来的特征和行为：他们更大，食物来源更加多样，在一天中不同的时间段活动，行动也不同并且有不同的性格。）可知，第三段中的they指代的是上文提到的城市的野生动物。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Besides, urban wildlife balances more risks—such as road chemical poisons and diseases from domestic animals—with rewards. Some of those rewards come from humans providing food and some from the distribution of our parks and water bodies.”（此外，城市野生动物还能有回报地平衡更多的风险——如道路化学毒物和来自家禽的疾病。其中一些这样的回报来自于人类提供的食物，还有一些来自公园和水体的分布。）可知，和乡村的野生动物相比，城市野生动物善于利用城市环境生存，推断出他们更加适应环境。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Cities have been described as essential to climate change solutions, but they can also raise the kinds of ecologists that will bring us into a more comprehensive biological future.”（城市对气候改变的解决方式至关重要，但他们也可以培养出各种生态学家，将我们带入一个更全面的生态学未来。）和最后一段“We expect more biologists from urban settings because urban environments naturally train keen observers who are the future of ecology.”（我们期待更多来自城市环境的生物学家，因为城市环境培养出对于生态环境的未来敏锐的观察者。）可知，文章首尾呼应，点明主题——城市可以培养出更好的生物学家。故选C项。
C
Chatting in her bright two bedroom flat, Shirley Meredeen, aged 91, doesn’t hesitate in describing the benefits of living here. “It keeps my brain going. We are all very active because there is so much to do...We’re really lucky to have such a supportive community.”
In 1998, Meredeen first heard of the concept of cohousing as developed in the Netherlands and decided to copy its model in the UK and create the Older Women Cohousing (OWCH) with her friends. But they didn’t imagine that it would be an 18-year struggle. The novelty of the idea coupled with the lack of data to prove the social and economic benefits made it difficult for them to access public money. Councils always compared their idea to sheltered accommodation and saw it as a burden for their already overstretched budgets.
In fact, the community-led housing is a departure from the conventional understanding of later life. Now, the community comprises 25 flats as well as a shared kitchen, meeting room, laundry, garden, car park and a guest room. People live together based on interdependence. They can take control of their future instead of relying on their families or care homes. All the neighbours look out for each other, not after each other, which means accompanying to medical appointments, doing the local shopping, having family contacts in preparation for an emergency... But the limits of such informal care among residents still need to be worked out.
OWCH has paved the way to alternative living arrangements in later life and the support for community-led housing is starting to emerge in the form of guidance and funding, according to UK Cohousing Network.
8. What do we know about Meredeen?
A. She first tried cohousing in the Netherlands.
B. She is a regular visitor to OWCH.
C. She is a pioneer in elderly care service.
D. She founded OWCH single-handed.
9. Why did it take such a long time to set up OWCH?
A. It didn’t benefit social economy. B. It didn’t keep up with the time.
C. It called for careful budgeting. D. It was hard to get public funding.
10. Which is probably the reason why seniors choose OWCH?
A. They are more independent. B. They are responsible for each other.
C. They receive more care services. D. They can rely on their relatives.
11. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To describe an ambitious figure. B. To introduce a new lifestyle of seniors.
C. To ensure elderly people’s welfare. D. To inspire the aged to achieve their dreams.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In 1998, Meredeen first heard of the concept of cohousing as developed in the Netherlands and decided to copy its model in the UK and create the Older Women Cohousing (OWCH) with her friends. (1998年，梅雷迪恩第一次听说荷兰开发的共居概念，并决定在英国复制其模式，与她的朋友一起创建了老年妇女共居（OWCH）)”可推知，Meredeen是老年护理服务的先驱。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The novelty of the idea coupled with the lack of data to prove the social and economic benefits made it difficult for them to access public money. (这个想法的新颖性加上缺乏证明社会和经济效益的数据，使得他们很难获得公共资金)”可知，建立OWCH需要这么长时间是因为很难获得公共资金，故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“They can take control of their future instead of relying on their families or care homes. (他们可以掌控自己的未来，而不是依赖家人或养老院)”可推知，老年人选择OWCH的原因可能是他们更加独立。故选A。
【11题详解】

D
We live in an age when all scientific knowledge — from the safety of vaccines (疫苗) to the reality of climate change — faces organized and often angry opposition. Doubters have declared war on the consensus (共识) of experts. It seems that people have turned argumentative overnight.
In a sense, all this is not surprising. Our lives are affected by science and technology as never before. The world seems full of real and imaginary dangers. Though scientists agree that the Ebola virus is spread only by direct contact with blood or body fluids (液体), if you type “airborne Ebola” into an Internet search engine, you’ll find that some people believe that this virus has almost supernatural powers.
In this often confusing world, we need to rely on science to decide whether what we choose to believe has a basis in the laws of nature or not. But science doesn’t come naturally to most of us. Science has often led us to truths that are really mind-blowing. For example, although the roundness of the Earth has been known for thousands of years, some still feel it hard to accept.
Even when people become scientifically educated most of them still try to make sense of the world by relying on personal experience, stories or emotions rather than statistics. When they hear a number of cancer cases in a town with a dangerous waste dump (垃圾场), they believe pollution caused the cancers. Yet two things happening together doesn’t mean one caused the other. Even when they turn to the Internet, they let in only the information they agree with to strengthen beliefs that have already been shaped by their worldview.
How can scientists convince doubters? Throwing more facts at people may not be enough. More efforts are supposed to be made.
12. What’s the text mainly about?
A. How people view the world. B. What challenges science faces.
C. Whether science is worth respect. D. Why people show disbelief in science.
13. What does the underlined word “mind-blowing” probably mean?
A. Unbelievable. B. Desirable.
C. Dangerous. D. Obvious.
14. How do “people” in paragraph 4 understand the world?
A. They apply logical thinking.
B. They stick to their own beliefs.
C. They form the views on assumptions.
D. They rely on the information on the Internet.
15. How does the author prove his opinions?
A. Through comparison. B. Through quotation.
C. By giving examples. D. By making definitions.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“We live in an age when all scientific knowledge — from the safety of vaccines (疫苗) to the reality of climate change — faces organized and often angry opposition. (我们生活在这样一个时代，从疫苗的安全性到气候变化的现实，所有的科学知识都面临着有组织的、经常是愤怒的反对)”，第二段中的“In a sense, all this is not surprising.(从某种意义上说，这一切并不令人惊讶)”，第三段中的“But science doesn’t come naturally to most of us. (但科学对我们大多数人来说并不是天生的)”及第四段中的“Even when people become scientifically educated, most of them still try to make sense of the world by relying on personal experience, stories or emotions rather than statistics.(即使人们接受了科学教育，他们中的大多数人仍然试图通过个人经验、故事或情感而不是统计数据来理解世界)”可知，文章主要论述了为什么人们对科学表示怀疑。故选D。

Even when they turn to the Internet, they let in only the information they agree with to strengthen beliefs that have already been shaped by their worldview.(即使人们接受了科学教育，他们中的大多数人仍然试图依靠个人经验、故事或情感来理解世界，而不是统计数据。当他们听说一个有危险垃圾场的小镇上有一些癌症病例时，他们认为是污染导致了癌症。然而，两件事同时发生并不意味着一件事导致了另一件事。即使他们求助于互联网，他们也只允许他们同意的信息进入，以加强已经被他们的世界观所塑造的信念)”可推知，第四段中的人们依靠自己的信念去理解世界。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Though scientists agree that the Ebola virus is spread only by direct contact with blood or body fluids (液体), if you type “airborne Ebola” into an Internet search engine, you’ll find that some people believe that this virus has almost supernatural powers.(尽管科学家们一致认为埃博拉病毒只能通过直接接触血液或体液传播，但如果你在互联网搜索引擎中输入“空气传播埃博拉”，你会发现一些人相信这种病毒几乎具有超自然的力量)”，第三段中的“For example, although the roundness of the Earth has been known for thousands of years, some still feel it hard to accept.(例如，尽管地球的圆度已经有数千年的历史，但有些人仍然觉得难以接受)”和第四段中的“When they hear a number of cancer cases in a town with a dangerous waste dump (垃圾场), they believe pollution caused the cancers. Yet two things happening together doesn’t mean one caused the other.(当他们听说一个有危险垃圾场的小镇上有一些癌症病例时，他们认为是污染导致了癌症。然而，两件事同时发生并不意味着一件事导致了另一件事)”可推知，作者通过举例来证明了他的观点。故选C。
第二节（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。
Back in January, I was determined to get fit seriously. ____16____ But then just as I was close to giving up again, I discovered a brilliant new way to make exercise better: by turning it into a video-game.
Zwift is essentially a cycling game that you control by riding your real bike, which is equipped with a device called a turbo-trainer. This makes it like an exercise bike. As you ride, the trainer sends signals to your computer or tablet to control the character on screen. ____17____ For example, as you’re cycling up a hill in the game, you can actually feel the different levels of resistance on the bike.
After signing up for a £12/month subscription you can participate in virtual cycle rides in 3D-recreations of real places, like London or in fantastical fictional locations invented by the game designers. ____18____ As you cycle along The Mall towards Buckingham Palace, other real human cyclists appear alongside you, sharing the journey. Though it is obviously only a game, just seeing the character move is surprisingly motivating.
____19____ Go a little faster and you’ll be rewarded with a little achievement marker. If you ride harder, you might win a race against another real player and unlock a new item in a regular video game, which can never be matched by a traditional exercise bike.
I’m not the only person who has noticed this. ____20____ Today there are many other companies chasing the same audience, and they all offer their own unique twists on the formula.
A. Zwift makes it easy to work out.
B. And importantly, you’re not alone.
C. The rest of the tech industry has, too.
D. I played Zwift, a cycling game for training.
E. And then the game sends instructions back to the trainer.
F. Smartly, the tricks of video-games will keep pushing you.
G. This would mean hours’ stretching and sweating each week.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. B 19. F 20. C
【解析】
【16题详解】
上文“Back in January, I was determined to get fit seriously.(早在一月份，我就下定决心要认真减肥)”提到了减肥，选项中this是关键词，与上文的get fit呼应，所以G选项“这意味着每周要花好几个小时拉伸和流汗”承接上文构成顺承关系，符合语境。故选G项。
【17题详解】
上文“As you ride, the trainer sends signals to your computer or tablet to control the character on screen.(当你骑的时候，训练器会向你的电脑或平板电脑发送信号来控制屏幕上的角色)”提到了发送信号，E项中sends是关键词，与上文的sends呼应，所以E选项“然后游戏将指令发送回训练器”承接上文内容，符合语境。故选E项。
【18题详解】
下文“As you cycle along The Mall towards Buckingham Palace, other real human cyclists appear alongside you, sharing the journey.(当你沿着林荫大道向白金汉宫骑行时，其他真正的骑自行车的人会出现在你身边，分享你的旅程)”提到了其他骑自行车的人，B选项中not alone是关键词，与下文的other real human cyclists构成因果关系，所以B选项“重要的是，你并不孤单”，符合语境。故选B项。
【19题详解】
下文“Go a little faster and you’ll be rewarded with a little achievement marker. If you ride harder, you might win a race against another real player and unlock a new item in a regular video game, which can never be matched by a traditional exercise bike.(再快一点，你就会得到一个小小的成就标记。如果你骑得更努力，你可能会在与另一个真正的玩家的比赛中获胜，并在普通的电子游戏中解锁一个新物品，这是传统的健身自行车永远无法比拟的)”提到了推动你不断前进的一些技巧，F选项中pushing是关键词，与下文的faster和harder呼应，所以F选项“巧妙地，电子游戏的技巧将继续推动你”能概括下文内容，符合语境。故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文“I’m not the only person who has noticed this.(我不是唯一一个注意到这一点的人)”提到了不是唯一的人，C选项中too是关键词，与上文构成顺承关系，所以C选项“科技行业的其他公司也是如此”承接上文，符合语境。故选C项。

47. 阅读下面材料，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。
A Community Puts on a Dazzling Display of Support
In Sara’s family, putting up Christmas lights was always a big day of celebration. Every year, just after Thanksgiving Day, her dad Anthony, 70, would visit local stores to check out new decorations and then excitedly string lights and hang decorations in and out of the house. The dazzling (绚烂的) display made him a hit in the community.
On 2020 Christmas Eve, as usual, the whole house twinkled with lights, and gifts were piled under the tree. While everyone was looking forward to enjoying another Christmas together as a family, Sara, got a call: the whole family had tested positive for COVID-19. Their Christmas celebration had to be canceled.
At first, everyone’s symptoms (症状) seemed manageable. But right after the new year, Anthony started having trouble breathing and unfortunately passed away two weeks later, though the rest had recovered from COVID-19. The following week of planning the funeral was the worst for Sara and her husband, Frank. Sorrow left them doubled over in pain. The saddest of all was that no neighbours attended her father’s funeral. Only the twinkling Christmas lights at night brought them a little bit joy. The lights were one of the last moments they had of their beloved father, so they kept them up.
One morning in February, Sara received an envelope. “Take your Christmas lights down! It’s Valentine’s Day!!!” the unsigned letter read. Sara looked at the paper in shock. Then she got angry. She could have bottled up that anger, but she decided to write about it instead. She logged on to a local community Facebook group and shared the letter. She ended the post with this: “We all had a tough year. Be kind to people because you never know what they are going through.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Half an hour later, Frank rushed into the room excitedly, with his phone in the hand.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When night fell, Sara and Frank were surprised by what they saw outside.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Half an hour later, Frank rushed into the room excitedly, with his phone in the hand. “Honey, your post goes viral!” exclaimed Frank. Sara hesitantly took over the phone and found hundreds of likes and comments under the post. Some expressed their grief over the loss of her beloved dad and some showed anger towards the letter writer. While slowly swiping across the screen with her fingertip and reading each comment, she was so moved that tears streamed down her cheeks. And during the whole day Sara and Frank were bathed in the neighbours’ kindness and warmth.
When night fell, Sara and Frank were surprised by what they saw outside. Against the black night, she noticed the neighbourhood was like a sea of lights. With the catchy Christmas songs echoing softly, the roofs of the buildings, the windows, the gardens, the trees, the fences... all twinkled with colorful Christmas lights and were wrapped with Christmas decorations. Undoubtedly, the neighbours had collectively hung their lights back. Seeing that, Sara and Frank burst into tears. For them, the dazzling lights were not only the honour and memory of their beloved father, but also an overwhelming display of the neighbours’ support.
