If you’re looking for a way to achieve naturally glowing skin, you needn’t look further than face yoga. That’s what Akiko Grabin, a face yoga teacher believes.
The main reason people give it a shot is because of its effect on skin, with Grabin claiming that it can prevent wrinkles, or at least smooth their appearance. And there’s some evidence to back these claims. Research from 2018 found that 30 minutes a day of facial exercises over a 20-week period might improve the appearance of skin in middle-aged women.
Takatsu is credited as the creator of the Face Yoga Method. She wrote about how she started it on her website, saying she came up with the concept following a car crash in which her body was injured and her face was left looking asymmetrical(不对称的). Standing in front of the mirror one day, Takatsu had a realization; “If I exercise my body muscles, I should be able to do the same for my face.” After Takatsu started practicing this method, people began praising her appearance and were eager to know how she achieved such results. The Face Yoga Metjod was born.
But Dr Imaan Joshi, a cosmetician working in a beauty agency, remains skeptical of the practice. She believes face yoga can have “some beneficial effects” in terms of relaxing muscles, but says there’s no evidence it can reduce or prevent wrinkles. Joshi explains that wrinkles form from repetitive, life--long movement of facial muscles, accompanies by loss of collagen(胶原)and fat as we age. “So, there’s no realistic way of getting rid of wrinkles apart from reducing or freezing the movement of these muscles.”
4. Why do people try to do face yoga?
A. Doing face yoga can do good to people’s health.
B. Face yoga is the best way to achieve smooth skin.
C. Doing face yoga is beneficial to people’s skin.
D. Face yoga is highly recommended by experts.
5. What inspired Takatsu to create face yoga?
A. The wish to heal her injured face. B. The praise for her appearance.
C. The lecture she attended. D. The comments on her website.
6. What does the underlined word “cosmetician” in the last paragraph mean?
A. A professor who studies physical exercise and health.
B. A teacher who teaches biology.
C. A physician who improves people’s looks.
D. An adviser who provides the old with nutritious diets.
7. Which statement may Joshi agree with?
A. Face yoga is an effective way to get rid of wrinkles.
B. The claim that face yoga can relax muscles lacks evidence.
C. Repetitive movement of facial muscles causes loss of collagen.
D. More movements of facial muscles can result in the formation of wrinkles.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D

Maths anxiety may be causing a national crisis, Cambridge University researchers have said, as they find that one in ten children suffer from anxiety at the subject.
Researchers surveyed 1, 700 British pupils aged 8 to 13 about their feelings towards the subject. They found 10% of children suffered from maths anxiety. Other feelings caused by maths included fear and anger, while physical symptoms included a racing heart or struggling to catch breath.
“The project studied students’ attitudes towards maths because of what could be called a maths crisis in the UK, ” researchers said. “Many children and adults experience feelings of anxiety, fear or discomfort when they face maths. This may be leading to a low level of maths in the country. ” The number of adults with functional maths skills equal to a GCSE (英国普通中等教育证书) grade C has dropped from 26% in 2003 to only 22% in 2011, according to the survey. At the same time, only 57% of the children achieved the same level in functional maths skills.
Dr. Denes Szucs, a professor at Cambridge’s Centre for Neuroscience (神经科学) in Education said that there is a misunderstanding that only low performing children suffer from math anxiety. “This is a common misunderstanding that we have seen in decision makers, ” he said. “They assume people are anxious about maths because they are poor achievers.” In fact, more than 77% of children with high levels of maths anxiety are normal to high achievers. Dr. Szucs went on, “Probably their maths anxiety will go unnoticed because their performance is good. But they are very worried and in the long term their performance is limited. This is a real danger here: these are children who are completely able to do maths at a normal level, but may keep away from it because they feel anxious.” The research also found that girls have higher levels of maths anxiety than boys.
John’s Hillman, director of education at the Nuffield Foundation said, “Mathematical achievement is valuable, as a foundation for many other subjects and as an important predictor of future academic learning, job hunting and even health. Maths anxiety can seriously influence students’ performance in both primary and secondary schools.”
8. What can we learn from the survey conducted by the Cambridge University researchers?
A. Girls suffer lower levels of maths anxiety than boys.
B. Only low performing children suffer from maths anxiety.
C. Children with maths anxiety will suffer both physically and mentally.
D. Most children with high levels of maths anxiety usually perform badly at the subject.
9. Why did the researchers study students’ attitudes towards maths?
A. Many children are suffering from maths anxiety.
B. They want to help improve students’ academic performance.
C. Maths anxiety may cause great damage to children’s development.
D. Both children and adults experience maths anxiety, causing a national maths crisis.
10. How does the author prove there may be a national maths crisis in the UK in paragraph 3?
A. Providing data. B. Giving examples.
C. Giving definition. D. Analyzing and reasoning.
11. What question could possibly be talked about after the last paragraph?
A. How can students learn maths well?
B. How can maths anxiety be reduced?
C. How does anxiety influence students’ mental health?
D. How can children realize the importance of learning maths?
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B

【9题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“Maths anxiety may be causing a national crisis, Cambridge University researchers have said (剑桥大学的研究人员说,数学焦虑可能会引发一场全国性的危机)”和第三段中的“‘The project studied students’ attitudes towards maths because of what could be called a maths crisis in the UK,’ researchers said.‘Many children and adults experience feelings of anxiety. fear or discomfort when they face maths. This may be leading to a low level of maths in the country.”(研究人员说:“该项目研究了英国学生对数学的态度,因为这可能被称为数学危机。”。“许多儿童和成人在面对数学时会感到焦虑、恐惧或不适。这可能导致该国数学水平低下)”可知,研究人员研究学生对数学的态度是因为儿童和成人都有数学焦虑症,因为这会导致全国性的数学危机。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中的“The number of adults with functional maths skills equal to a GCSE (英国普通中等教育证书) grade C has dropped from 26% in 2003 to only 22% in 2011, according to the survey. At the same time, only 57% of the children achieved the same level in functional maths skills. (调查显示,拥有等同于普通中等教育证书(GCSE) C等级的实用数学技能的成年人数量从2003年的26%下降到2011年的22%。与此同时,只有57%的儿童在实用数学技能方面达到了相同的水平)”可知,作者通过提供数据证明英国可能出现全国性的数学危机。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“John’s Hillman, director of education at the Nuffield Foundation said, ‘Mathematical achievement is valuable, as a foundation for many other subjects and as an important predictor of future academic learning, job hunting and even health. Maths anxiety can seriously influence students’ performance in both primary and secondary schools.’ ” (Nuffelfield基金会的教育主管约翰希尔曼说:“数学成绩是有价值的,它是许多其他学科的基础,也是未来学术学习、求职甚至健康的重要预测指标。”数学焦虑会严重影响中小学生的表现。”)”可知,本段讲述了数学的重要性,结合上文提到成人和学生都有数学焦虑的事实推知,接下来很可能要讲述如何减少数学焦虑。故选B项。
(D)
Do you think alien beings exist somewhere in the universe? It seems like Mars, our closest neighbor, has inspired the most science fiction as the place where aliens are most likely to come from. Recent Mars probes (探测) have shown us that there is no life on that planet—at least not now. But that does not mean that life does not exist elsewhere—after all, the universe is really big. A lot of scientific research is going on in the search for “extraterrestrial life”.
Think about it—why should the seven billion people on this little planet be the only living beings in the universe? It would, in fact, seem logical that this is not the case. So scientific research in this matter is based around the idea of finding other planets that have environments that can support life —environments similar to the Earth. The search is on for the evidence of the existence, or earlier existence of life: from very wise beings to simple organisms (有机物).
So far, there have been a number of theories as to which planetary bodies may have an atmosphere that can support such life and therefore deserve closer attention. As for places within our own Milky Way Galaxy, it has been assumed over the decades that Mars and Venus, as well as some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, may have been hosts for life. Now, as technologies have improved and we can obtain measurements of the composition of the atmosphere on extra-solar planets, the chances of finding “alien” life forms are increasing.
There has been a theory that some of the planets in the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Gliese 581 may be able to support life. In 2007, scientists discovered exoplanet Gliese 581c—and felt that its atmosphere was most suitable for supporting life. But further research revealed that it would not. Now, attention has been turned to Gliese 581d, at the outer edge of the star’s habitable zone. The main standards for deciding whether a planetary body can be life-supporting are atmospheric conditions which allow the existence of water. Gliese 581 is about 20. 4 light years away from the Earth, so even if life does exist there, the distance would mean that communication would be unlikely.
Having said this—who says alien life forms (if they exist) need water?
12. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Life existing outside of the Earth.
B. The evidence of the existence of life.
C. Other faraway planets in the universe.
D. Creatures known from science fictions.
13. What makes it possible for people to find “alien beings”?
A. Modern scientific theories. B. Atmospheric conditions.
C. Environments similar to the Earth. D. Advanced technologies.
14. From the passage, we know that _________.
A. the atmosphere of Gliese 581c was most suitable for life
B. it is not certain whether alien life forms need water or not
C. the 7 billion people on the Earth are the only beings in the universe
D. the distance of 20. 4 light years makes it impossible to find life on Gliese 581d
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Do Aliens Exist? B. Is Mars Suitable for Life?
C. Are Alien Life Forms Various? D. Can We Communicate with Aliens?
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章讲述了科学家们在不断寻找和探索外星球上是否有类似于地球的环境,可以支持生命的存在。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。在第一段中提到“Recent Mars probes (探测) have shown us that there is no life on that planet—at least not now. But that does not mean that life does not exist elsewhere(尽管火星探测器显示火星上没有生命,至少现在没有,但这并不意味着其他地方没有生命的存在。)”由此知,划线词所在的句子意思为“许多科学研究还在继续寻找其他星球上有没有生命”。由此可以猜测extraterrestrial life意思为“存在于地球之外的生命”。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“as technologies have improved and we can obtain measurements of the composition of the atmosphere on extra-solar planets, the chances of finding “alien” life forms are increasing.(随着科技的进步,我们可以测量太阳系外行星的大气成分,那么发现“外星”生命形式的可能性正在增加。)”可知,科学技术的进步让人们发现“外星人”成为可能。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Having said this—who says alien life forms (if they exist) need water?(话虽如此,谁说外星生物(如果它们存在话)需要水?)”可知,作者对“外星生命是否一定需要有水才能存在”提出疑问,也就是说外星生命是否需要水还不确定。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章首句提出问题“Do you think alien beings exist somewhere in the universe?”;文章第三段首句提到“there have been a number of theories as to which planetary bodies may have an atmosphere that can support such life.(关于哪些行星体可能有能够支持生命的大气,已经有了许多理论。)”,第四段首句提到“There has been a theory that some of the planets in the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Gliese 581 may be able to support life.(有一种理论认为,红矮星Gliese 581的宜居带中的一些行星可能适合生命存在。)”文章是讲述科学家们对哪些星体可能有生命的存在的不断探索。因此文章标题应为“外星人存在吗”。故选A项。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,介绍了中国将尽最大努力加强与世界卫生组织的合作,并提供援助,帮助有需要的国家抗击新冠肺炎疫情。
【36题详解】
考查代词。句意:中国将尽最大努力加强与世界卫生组织的合作,为受新冠肺炎疫情严重冲击国家的迫切需要提供援助。do one's best to...是固定短语,表示“尽某人的最大的努力去做……”,分析句意可知,中国是尽它的最大努力去加强与世界卫生组织的合作,用形容词性物主代词its,表示“它的”。故填its。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:中国将尽最大努力加强与世界卫生组织的合作,为受新冠肺炎疫情严重冲击国家的迫切需要提供援助。根据句意可知,severe修饰动词hit,应用副词形式severely(严重地)。故填severely。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国在力所能及的范围内向巴基斯坦、日本等一些国家提供了检测试剂盒,并与许多国家分享了预防和治疗方法。分析句子可知,include是非谓语动词,作后置定语修饰some countries,与其逻辑主语some countries之间为主动关系,应用现在分词,表示主动。故填including。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:中国在力所能及的范围内向巴基斯坦、日本等一些国家提供了检测试剂盒,并与许多国家分享了预防和治疗方法。根据句意和常识可知,预防和治疗新冠肺炎的“方法(approach)”有很多,是复数概念。故填approaches。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在韩国确诊病例持续增加的情况下,它成了除中国外世界上感染人数最多的国家,中国政府将尽快向韩国提供急需的医疗物资。the number of...为固定短语,表示“……的数量”,句中指“确诊病例的数量”。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在韩国确诊病例持续增加的情况下,它成了除中国外世界上感染人数最多的国家,中国政府将尽快向韩国提供急需的医疗物资。分析句子可知,空格处为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the country,指物,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语,应使用关系代词which引导该定语从句。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:截至目前,中国境外报告的冠状病毒病例超过3534万例,其中韩国、意大利、伊朗和日本是疫情最严重的国家。分析句子可知,report(报告)是句中谓语动词,与主语more than 35,340,000 coronavirus cases之间是被动关系,句中有时间状语So far(到目前为止),应使用现在完成时态,又因主语more than 35,340,000 coronavirus cases是复数名词,所 以谓语动词也应使用复数形式。综上,谓语应用现在完成时的被动语态,复数形式。故填have been reported。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词和固定短语。句意:面对疫情,各国应同舟共济,加强联系,携手构建人类命运共同体。be faced with...为固定短语,表示“面对……”,该短语用作非谓语动词时,去掉be动词,保留faced with...,句中是非谓语动词,“faced with the epidemic”作时间状语,另外,句首单词首字母大写。故填Faced。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:中国也不会缺席,正在考虑向世界卫生组织捐款抗击疫情。be absent from...为固定短语,表示“缺席”。故填from。
【45题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:中国也不会缺席,正在考虑向世界卫生组织捐款抗击疫情。分析句子可知,动词fight是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语China之间是主动关系,且(fight) the virus是is considering donating money to the WHO的目的,所以应使用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to fight。

Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help crying sadly when she thought of the scolding (责骂) from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was impossible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller noticed the young girl and asked “Hey, do you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh, yes ... but I don’t have money on me ...” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of tasty noodles. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.
“I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, drove me out of the house. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled “I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?”
Jenny sat there, speechless, she remembered mother’s familiar face. “Why did I not think of that? I appreciated a bowl of noodles from a stranger, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2:
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she knocked at the door she found the door was locked and her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. “Where could my mother be?” she wondered. “Was she still angry with me? ” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realising that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you, she said, tired and relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’s arms.” Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me. She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled patting her back gently.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Jenny和妈妈争吵后离开了家,当她又饿又累的时候,一位摊主的一碗面条让她觉得这个摊主都比妈妈好,可是这个摊主却提醒她,妈妈为了付出了多少。最后Jenny终于明白了妈妈对自己的照顾和自己的自私,她决定回家向妈妈道歉。
【详解】1.段落续写:

②由第二段首句“有人轻轻碰了她的头发,她的思绪就回来了。”可知,第二段可描写珍妮妈妈回来,母女俩敞开心扉,解开心结。
2.续写线索:争吵——珍妮离家——摊主给她一碗苗条,珍妮感动——摊主开导珍妮——珍妮恍然大悟——珍妮回家道歉——珍妮和妈妈解开心结
