A
It’s not just people that are social distancing. Brands are doing it too.
McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Audi and Volkswagen are just a few of the big companies that are interpreting “social distancing” with logo (商标) redesigns.
The term, social distancing, meaning standing 6 feet apart from others in an effort to lower the risk of being infected (感染) by diseases, has become popular recently.
“Our current global situation is no joke. It’s a serious matter,” Douglas Sellers, executive creative director for firm Siegel + Gale told CNN Business. “And brands designing social distancing logos have the potential to decrease the severity of what we are going through. The creativity, passion, and thought that goes into wanting to help, educate, and be part of the physical distancing movement is a worthy note,” Sellers said.
McDonald’s Brazil
Last week, McDonald’s Brazil pulled apart its iconic (标志性的) golden arches in a picture posted to its Facebook page. The ad agency explained that despite the temporary separation between its customers and the company caused by closures of some of its restaurants, they can always be together. McDonald’s is offering food through delivery.
Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola is currently running an ad in New York’s deserted Times Square that shows each letter of its logo separated with the slogan “Staying apart is the best way to stay united”. The brand typically celebrates togetherness and love in its ads.
Audi and Volkswagen
Two companies that share ownership, Audi and Volkswagen, changed their logos for their social media accounts. Audi separated its four rings in a short video telling people to stay at home and keep their distance. Volkswagen also promoted a similar video with inspirational messages and separated the V and W.
1. Why did the brands redesign their logos?
A. Because they no longer like their logos. B. Because they want to sell new products.
C. To draw more attention from the public. D. To remind people to keep social distance.
2. Which brand may provide its customers with take-away service?
A. Coca-Cola. B. McDonald’s Brazil. C. Audi. D. Volkswagen.
3 What did two companies Audi and Volkswagen do with their logos?
A. They put newly-designed logos on their products.
B. They ran ads in New York’s deserted Times Square.
C. They put up posters with four separated rings and the V and W.
D. They each separated their logos for their social media accounts.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了疫情当下，不只是人们在保持社交距离，品牌也在这么做。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““ And brands designing social distancing logos have the potential to decrease the severity of what we are going through. The creativity, passion, and thought that goes into wanting to help, educate, and be part of the physical distancing movement is a worthy note, ” Sellers said.(“设计社交距离标识的品牌有可能降低我们正在经历的问题的严重性。改变商标造型的过程当中所投入的创意、热忱，还有基于想要帮助他人、教育社会大众为出发点的考量，外加希望确实做到保持人与人之间实际距离，这些都是值得肯定的。”塞勒斯说)”可知，这些品牌重新设计标识是为了提醒人们保持社交距离。故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“McDonald’s Brazil”中“McDonald’s is offering food through delivery.( 麦当劳提供外卖服务。)”可知，巴西麦当劳提供外卖服务。故选B。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Audi separated its four rings in a short video telling people to stay at home and keep their distance. Volkswagen also promoted a similar video with inspirational messages and separated the V and W.(在一段短视频中，奥迪将四个环分开，告诉人们待在家里，保持距离。大众也推出了一个类似的视频，其中包含鼓舞人心的信息，并将V和W分开)”可推断，这两家公司都将自己社交媒体账号的标识隔开。故选D。
B
Today us want things better, faster and sometimes cheaper as well. Customer satisfaction is not enough to drive growth alone and isn't the toughest marketing challenge. Companies need to change their old slogan aim for excellence and deliver more a lot more! But the means of doing that is a hard nut.
The other day the hotel where I had stayed asked me to rate their performance. I completed their form, giving four-star and five-star ratings, as I had been very satisfied with the hotel rooms, the staff and their services. Imagine my shock therefore when I received the following apology email a day or so after submitting my review:
“Thank you for taking the time to complete our online survey regarding your recent stay at our hotel. I would like to apologize for failing to surprise or impress you. Your satisfaction is important to us and we will be using the feedback you provided to make improvements to ensure we offer an outstanding experience in the future. I hope you will consider staying with us again so that we can have another chance to provide you with an excellent experience.”
Shocking mail, isn't it? I believe that is exactly why they get a 4.5 + star rating. For them customer satisfaction is not enough. They have to make guests super satisfied so that a return visit is a “no brainer”; no other hotel choice would make sense!
How do you treat your own customers and consumers? Do you do just enough to satisfy them, or do you consistently look to exceeding their expectations? The above personal example I give is one way that the hotel staff tries to correct whatever is not a “superior experience” and may serve as a lesson.
4. Which should today's companies seek according to the text?
A. Low price B. Superior service C. High quality D. Customer satisfaction
5. Why was the writer shocked at the apology email?
A. The way to apologize was unique B. The purpose of the email was hidden
C. The requirement of the hotel was strict D. The reason for the apology was unusual
6. What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 convey?
A. The hotel is the best hotel choice B. The hotel will be remembered easily
C. Only brainless guests will come back D. Guests will revisit the hotel without thinking.
7. What is the writer's purpose of writing the text?
A. To share his experience B. To recommend a hotel
C. To provide his suggestion D. To analyze marketing challenges
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者认为如今的公司仅仅做到让顾客满意是不够的，要超出顾客的满意，做到极致。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Companies need to change their old slogan aim for excellence and deliver more a lot more!(公司需要改变他们的旧口号，追求卓越，提供更多！)”可知，今天的公司应该寻求优质服务。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I completed their form, giving four-star and five-star ratings, as I had been very satisfied with the hotel rooms, the staff and their services. Imagine my shock therefore when I received the following apology email a day or so after submitting my review(我填完他们的表格，给了四星和五星的评价，因为我对酒店的房间、员工和他们的服务非常满意。因此，想象一下，当我在提交评论后的一天左右收到以下道歉邮件时，我是多么震惊)”可知，作者对道歉邮件感到震惊因为道歉的原因不同寻常。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“For them customer satisfaction is not enough.”以及后文“no other hotel choice would make sense!”可知，对他们来说，顾客满意是不够的，他们希望他们的客人非常满意，从而不假思索地再次造访这个酒店，而不选择其它酒店了，故第4段划线部分传达的信息是：客人会不假思索地重游酒店。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But the means of doing that is a hard nut.(但如何做到这一点是一个难题)”以及最后一段中“The above personal example I give is one way that the hotel staff tries to correct whatever is not a “superior experience” and may serve as a lesson.(我举的上述个人例子，是酒店员工试图纠正任何不是“高级体验”的方法之一，可以作为一个经验教训)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是提供建议。故选C。
C
We all know at least one person who loves their food insanely hot. They insist that their hot wings “aren’t spicy enough unless I’m dripping with sweat.” From Latin America to Sichuan province, chili peppers and their famous burning taste have become a worldwide sensation. But how could something that burns so hot possibly be any good for people?
In a study by researchers at Marshall University in the US, scientists made the first complete description of capsaicin (辣椒素) — a chemical found in spicy chilis — and its anti-cancer properties. Although capsaicin is not normally a good medicine due to some negative properties such as its spicy flavor, the study found that there are ways to bring out its anti-cancer benefits while overcoming these negatives.
In nature, capsaicin evolved as a defense mechanism (机制) in plants to drive away unwanted animals while attracting those that could spread the seeds, such as birds which cannot taste or feel the spice. From a scientific point of view, capsaicin works by triggering (触发) a pain receptor called TRPV1, causing the body to react as if it had actually touched something hot and dangerous. Yet, this natural repellent (驱虫剂) for most animals has instead become a favorite food for many people, often called “chiliheads”.
So, what is it that attracts humans to capsaicin, chili peppers and spicy food in general? Besides its many health benefits — such as pain relief, weight loss, and body heat regulation — people love eating chili peppers precisely because it hits the pain receptors in just the right way.
As an article published by Scientific American noted: “People seem to enjoy — and actively seek out — many other sensations ... the sensation of falling provided by roller coasters or skydiving, the feelings of fear and anxiety while watching horror movies, the physical pain experienced upon jumping into icy water, or even the feelings of sadness that come while watching a tearjerker.”
So, the next time you bite into a hot chili pepper, remember: it’s not just healthy, but fun too!
8. What does the underlined word “property” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Tissue. B. Benefit. C. Possession. D. Quality.
9. What can we learn from the result of the study by researchers at Marshall University?
A. The study describes capsaicin for the first time.
B. Capsaicin contributes to the prevention of cancer.
C. There is a chemical called capsaicin in spicy chilis.
D. The negative features of capsaicin cannot be overcome.
10. How does capsaicin benefit plants?
A. It prevents birds from eating plants.
B. It causes more seeds to be produced.
C. It attracts some animals to distribute seeds.
D. It helps plants survive in hot or dangerous situations.
11. How does the author prove spicy food is fun?
A. By giving an example. B. By making a comparison.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By conducting research.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了辣椒为什么对人体有好处，以及人们为什么喜欢辣椒。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Although capsaicin is not normally a good medicine due to some negative properties such as its spicy flavor, the study found that there are ways to bring out its anti-cancer benefits while overcoming these negatives.(尽管辣椒素由于其辛辣的味道等负面特性而通常不是一种好的药物，但研究发现，有一些方法可以在克服这些负面因素的同时发挥其抗癌功效)”可知，划线词所在的句子表示“在美国马歇尔大学研究人员的一项研究中，科学家首次完整描述了辣椒素——一种在辣椒中发现的化学物质——及其抗癌特性”。由此推知，划线词property的意思是“特性，性质”，和quality意思相近，故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In a study by researchers at Marshall University in the Us, scientists made the first complete description of capsaicin (辣椒素) — a chemical found in spicy chilies — and its anti-cancer properties. (在美国马歇尔大学的一项研究中，科学家首次完整描述了辣椒素——一种在辣辣椒中发现的化学物质——及其抗癌特性)”可知，辣椒素是可以抗癌的。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In nature, capsaicin evolved as a defense mechanism in plants to drive away unwanted animals while attracting those that could spread the seeds, such as birds which cannot taste or feel the spice.(在自然界中，辣椒素进化为植物的一种防御机制，用来驱赶不受欢迎的动物，同时吸引那些可能传播种子的动物，比如无法品尝或感觉辣椒素的鸟类)”可知，它吸引一些动物来传播种子从而使植物受益。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“As Scientific American noted: “People seem to enjoy — and actively seek out—many other sensations ... the sensation of falling provided by roller coasters or skydiving, the feelings of fear and anxiety while watching horror movies, the physical pain experienced upon jumping into icy water, or even the feelings of sadness that come while watching a tearjerker.”(正如《科学美国人》所指出的：人们似乎享受——并积极寻求——许多其他的感觉……坐过山车或跳伞时的坠落感，看恐怖片时的恐惧和焦虑感，跳入冰冷的水中时的身体疼痛感，甚至是看催人泪下的电影时的悲伤感)”可知，作者通过比较来证明辣的食物是有趣的。故选B。
D
Schoolbooks typically present explorers as fearless individuals who, for example, sail wooden ships to new lands. But today most explorers who are making fundamental discoveries are scientists. And whether the frontiers are tiny, like the human genome, or massive, like our deepest oceans, we still have much left to learn about planet Earth. What modern scientists pursue equals anything in a history book or an adventure novel.
Exploration is science in its most basic form — asking questions of the natural world and, we hope, using the answers for the betterment of everything on Earth.
Exploration has great value. It inspires us, widens our knowledge and gives us hope for a better future. And the practical payoffs can even be lifesaving. Scientists who spent decades exploring what was in the atmosphere found that over time the concentration of carbon dioxide was rising. Without that discovery, we humans would now be living like the proverbial frog in a pot of gradually heating water, unsure why the environment around us is changing, and slowly boiling to death.
The human drive to overcome challenges is an essential aspect of the human drive to explore which, in most cases, spurs innovation. Early human submarines that reached the bottom of the deepest ocean trenches (海沟) made the trip just once, stressed by the enormous pressures there. But eventually a more stress-resistant vehicle, the Limiting Factor, allowed investor and undersea explorer Victor Vescovo to reach trench bottoms numerous times.
Now there are roughly 4,000 autonomous Argo floats across the world’s oceans that dive down to 2,000 feet and resurface every 10 days, gathering data about basic physical traits (特性) such as water temperature and pressure. The Argo group will also deploy (部署) dozens of sensors every year that will gather biological and chemical data, leading to new observations about marine life.
Other institutions plan to search the seas together, sending data to guide ships that forward the information to researchers on shore. Ocean research groups have made it a priority to openly share their discoveries and data with the public and to inspire the next generation of young scientists. Anyone can go along for the ride — we can all be explorers.
Captain James T. Kirk began each episode of the original Star Trek television series by saying, “Space, the final frontier.” Not necessarily. We still have plenty to discover right here on Earth, and we eagerly await surprises from the newest worlds we find.
12. Why does the author mention the example of the proverbial frog in Paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate the significance of exploration. B. To stress the importance of knowledge.
C. To argue for the necessity of innovation. D. To show the impact of global warming.
13. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The discoveries made by modern scientists cannot match what the adventurers pursue.
B Undersea explorers can reach the bottom of the deepest ocean for quite a few times now.
C. Argo floats dive to the deep ocean to collect fundamental information about the ocean.
D. The human desire to take on challenges leads to the achievements of ocean exploration.
14. What can we know from the last two paragraphs?
A. Everyone is an explorer. B. Sharing the ocean data is compulsory.
C. Exploring the earth can still be fruitful. D. Space will be human’s final frontier.
15. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Fearless Explorers B. Ocean Exploration C. Earth Exploration D. Next Frontiers
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了探索是科学最基本的形式——提出自然世界的问题，我们希望用这些问题的答案来改善地球上的一切，最后的前沿不一定是太空，探索地球仍然是有意义的。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Exploration has great value. It inspires us, widens our knowledge and gives us hope for a better future. And the practical payoffs can even be lifesaving. Scientists who spent decades exploring what was in the atmosphere found that over time the concentration of carbon dioxide was rising. Without that discovery, we humans would now be living like the proverbial frog in a pot of gradually heating water, unsure why the environment around us is changing, and slowly boiling to death.(探索有很大的价值。它激励我们，扩大我们的知识，给我们一个更美好的未来的希望。实际的回报甚至可以挽救生命。科学家们花了几十年时间探索大气中的物质，发现随着时间的推移，二氧化碳的浓度正在上升。如果没有这一发现，我们人类现在就会像谚语中所说的青蛙一样生活在逐渐加热的水里，不知道我们周围的环境为什么会发生变化，然后慢慢地沸腾而死。)”可推知，第三段中的“温水煮青蛙”的例子用来说明探索的重要性。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“What modern scientists pursue equals anything in a history book or an adventure novel.(现代科学家所追求的东西相当于历史书或冒险小说中的任何东西。)”可知，A选项“The discoveries made by modern scientists cannot match what the adventurers pursue.(现代科学家的发现比不上冒险家的追求。)”是不正确的，故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Other institutions plan to search the seas together, sending data to guide ships that forward the information to researchers on shore. Ocean research groups have made it a priority to openly share their discoveries and data with the public and to inspire the next generation of young scientists.(其他机构计划一起搜索海洋，将数据发送给指导船只，并将信息转发给岸上的研究人员。海洋研究小组已将公开与公众分享他们的发现和数据，并激励下一代年轻科学家作为优先事项。)”和最后一段的“We still have plenty to discover right here on Earth, and we eagerly await surprises from the newest worlds we find.(我们在地球上还有很多东西要发现，我们热切地等待着来自我们发现的最新世界的惊喜。)”可知，从最后两段我们可以知道探索地球仍然是有收获的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“And whether the frontiers are tiny, like the human genome, or massive, like our deepest oceans, we still have much left to learn about planet Earth. What modern scientists pursue equals anything in a history book or an adventure novel.(无论前沿领域是微小的，如人类基因组，还是巨大的，如我们最深的海洋，我们对地球还有很多需要了解的地方。现代科学家所追求的东西相当于历史书或冒险小说中的任何东西。)”和最后一段的““Space, the final frontier.” Not necessarily. We still have plenty to discover right here on Earth, and we eagerly await surprises from the newest worlds we find.(“太空，最后的前沿。”不一定。我们在地球上还有很多东西要发现，我们热切地等待着来自我们发现的最新世界的惊喜。)”可知，本文主要讲的是探索是科学最基本的形式——提出自然世界的问题，我们希望用这些问题的答案来改善地球上的一切，最后的前沿不一定是太空，探索地球仍然是有意义的，因此最好的题目是D选项“Next Frontiers(接下来的前沿)”，故选D。
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。
Science shows that stretching (拉伸) isn’t actually literal — you’re not even “stretching” your muscles at all. ____16____. It does wonders for both your joints and your muscles. What’s more, stretching helps your blood flow, reduces your risk of injury, helps you lose weight, and even relieves your stress. So what if you don’t do stretching after exercise?
You could feel sick
You won’t be surprised to know that when you exercise, you raise your heart rate for a period of time. ____17____, experts will tell you that it’s just as important to “get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over.” This is also known in the fitness world as “cooling down.”
“After physical activity, your heart is still beating faster than normal, your body temperature is higher and your blood vessels get bigger,” write the health experts at the American Heart Association. “This means if you stop too fast, you could faint or feel sick. ____18____.”
Your muscles will likely become stiffer and more sore (酸痛的)
When you exercise your muscles, it produces an inflammatory (炎症的) response in the form of lactic acid (乳酸), which is actually what causes your muscles to become sore. When you rest — or “recover” — in the time between bouts of exercise, your body naturally breaks down and gets rid of that lactic acid. One thing that helps your body get rid of that lactic acid? ____19____. Stretching helps you distribute oxygen throughout your body and muscles, which, according to the Healthline, “can reduce lactic acid production and rid your muscles of any accumulation of lactic acid.”
____20____
Having poor flexibility isn’t good for your body. According to the experts in the sports medicine department at UC Davis Health, inflexibility will cause you to have muscles that tire quicker and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury, and your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. In the case of the latter, it’s why people often feel stiffness and pain in their “weight bearing” joints, such as the knees and hips. And sticking to stretching exercise after physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility.
A. You guessed it: Stretching
B. While it’s great to get that blood flowing
C. You’ll be at risk of injury for lack of flexibility
D. You have to improve your flexibility by stretching
E. If you want some clever ways to work your muscles more every day
F. A cooldown after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the session
G. In fact, its true purpose is to lengthen and mobilize the connective tissue around your muscle
【答案】16. G 17. B 18. F 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了运动后不做拉伸的几点坏处。
【16题详解】
上文“Science shows that stretching (拉伸) isn’t actually literal — you’re not even ‘stretching’ your muscles at all.(科学表明拉伸并不是字面意思——你甚至根本没有“拉伸”你的肌肉)”提出人们对于拉伸认识的不足，G选项“In fact, its true purpose is to lengthen and mobilize the connective tissue around your muscle (事实上，拉伸的真正目的是延长和调动肌肉周围的结缔组织)”承接上文，说明了拉伸的作用，下文“It does wonders for both your joints and your muscles. What’s more, stretching helps your blood flow, reduces your risk of injury, helps you lose weight, and even relieves your stress. So what if you don’t do stretching after exercise?(它对你的关节和肌肉都有神奇的效果。更重要的是，拉伸有助于你的血液流动，减少受伤的风险，帮助你减肥，甚至减轻你的压力。那么，如果你在运动后不做伸展运动呢？)”进一步对拉伸的具体作用进行了的详细解释，上下文语意连贯。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“You won’t be surprised to know that when you exercise, you raise your heart rate for a period of time. (当你锻炼时，你会发现在一段时间内心率的提高，不用感到惊讶)” 可知，上文提到在运动中心率会提高，结合常识，这意味着血液流动会加快。B选项“While it’s great to get that blood flowing (尽管让血液流动起来很好)”中“get that blood flowing”照应上文，同时作让步状语从句与下文“it’s just as important to ‘get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over.’(在锻炼结束后，让你的心率恢复到正常水平也同样重要。)”构成转折关系，上下文语意连贯，故选B。
【18题详解】
上文“This means if you stop too fast, you could pass out or feel sick. (这意味着如果你停下来太快，你可能会昏倒或感到恶心)”讲如果突然停止运动，会造成不适，F选项“A cooldown after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the session (体育活动后的冷却期能让你在活动结束后慢慢缓过来)”提出解决问题的办法，其中“a gradual decrease”与上文“stop too fast”相对应，上下文语意连贯。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文“One thing that helps your body dispose of that lactic acid?(有一件事可以帮助你的身体处理乳酸？)”可知，上文提出一个问题：有没有方法可以帮助身体排除乳酸？故本句接下来应该回答问题。故A项“You guessed it: Stretching(你猜对了：拉伸)”给出答案并呼应主题。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据本段内容“Having poor flexibility isn’t good for your body. According to the experts in the sports medicine department at UC Davis Health, inflexibility will cause you to have muscles that tire quicker and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury, and your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. In the case of the latter, it’s why people often feel stiffness and pain in their “weight bearing” joints, such as the knees and hips. And sticking to stretching exercise after physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility. (柔韧性差对身体不好。根据加州大学戴维斯分校健康中心运动医学系的专家们的说法，缺乏弹性会导致你的肌肉更快疲劳，关节更容易受伤，而且你活动范围的减弱会导致关节的血液和营养物质减少。在后者的情况下，这就是为什么人们经常感到他们的“承重”关节僵硬和疼痛，如膝盖和臀部。运动后坚持做伸展运动有望提高你的柔韧性)”可知，本段的主旨是“拉伸可以避免受伤”。故C选项“You’ll be at risk of injury for lack of flexibility(你会有受伤的风险)”符合语境。故选C。
第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分45分)

【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：但战争一拖再拖，他离开家人十年了。根据“dragged”可知，本句为一般过去时。故填was。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在这一时期，战争的命运变幻莫测，没有人能预测哪一方会获胜。形容词changeable作表语，符合句意。 故填changeable。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：他非常想回家。副词修饰动词wanted。故填desperately。
【40题详解】

【答案】pursuit
【解析】

【答案】collected
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：在收集了所有的证据后，警方指控这位世界著名的网球运动员谋杀了他的妻子。空格处是with的复合结构，evidence和collect之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，作宾语补足语，故填collected。

60. If you see a yellow ribbon ________ (attach) to the oak tree in the yard, it is a signal that you are welcome back home. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】attached
【解析】

A
It’s not just people that are social distancing. Brands are doing it too.
McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Audi and Volkswagen are just a few of the big companies that are interpreting “social distancing” with logo (商标) redesigns.
The term, social distancing, meaning standing 6 feet apart from others in an effort to lower the risk of being infected (感染) by diseases, has become popular recently.
“Our current global situation is no joke. It’s a serious matter,” Douglas Sellers, executive creative director for firm Siegel + Gale told CNN Business. “And brands designing social distancing logos have the potential to decrease the severity of what we are going through. The creativity, passion, and thought that goes into wanting to help, educate, and be part of the physical distancing movement is a worthy note,” Sellers said.
McDonald’s Brazil
Last week, McDonald’s Brazil pulled apart its iconic (标志性的) golden arches in a picture posted to its Facebook page. The ad agency explained that despite the temporary separation between its customers and the company caused by closures of some of its restaurants, they can always be together. McDonald’s is offering food through delivery.
Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola is currently running an ad in New York’s deserted Times Square that shows each letter of its logo separated with the slogan “Staying apart is the best way to stay united”. The brand typically celebrates togetherness and love in its ads.
Audi and Volkswagen
Two companies that share ownership, Audi and Volkswagen, changed their logos for their social media accounts. Audi separated its four rings in a short video telling people to stay at home and keep their distance. Volkswagen also promoted a similar video with inspirational messages and separated the V and W.
1. Why did the brands redesign their logos?
A. Because they no longer like their logos. B. Because they want to sell new products.
C. To draw more attention from the public. D. To remind people to keep social distance.
2. Which brand may provide its customers with take-away service?
A. Coca-Cola. B. McDonald’s Brazil. C. Audi. D. Volkswagen.
3 What did two companies Audi and Volkswagen do with their logos?
A. They put newly-designed logos on their products.
B. They ran ads in New York’s deserted Times Square.
C. They put up posters with four separated rings and the V and W.
D. They each separated their logos for their social media accounts.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. D

Today us want things better, faster and sometimes cheaper as well. Customer satisfaction is not enough to drive growth alone and isn't the toughest marketing challenge. Companies need to change their old slogan aim for excellence and deliver more a lot more! But the means of doing that is a hard nut.
The other day the hotel where I had stayed asked me to rate their performance. I completed their form, giving four-star and five-star ratings, as I had been very satisfied with the hotel rooms, the staff and their services. Imagine my shock therefore when I received the following apology email a day or so after submitting my review:
“Thank you for taking the time to complete our online survey regarding your recent stay at our hotel. I would like to apologize for failing to surprise or impress you. Your satisfaction is important to us and we will be using the feedback you provided to make improvements to ensure we offer an outstanding experience in the future. I hope you will consider staying with us again so that we can have another chance to provide you with an excellent experience.”
Shocking mail, isn't it? I believe that is exactly why they get a 4.5 + star rating. For them customer satisfaction is not enough. They have to make guests super satisfied so that a return visit is a “no brainer”; no other hotel choice would make sense!
How do you treat your own customers and consumers? Do you do just enough to satisfy them, or do you consistently look to exceeding their expectations? The above personal example I give is one way that the hotel staff tries to correct whatever is not a “superior experience” and may serve as a lesson.
4. Which should today's companies seek according to the text?
A. Low price B. Superior service C. High quality D. Customer satisfaction
5. Why was the writer shocked at the apology email?
A. The way to apologize was unique B. The purpose of the email was hidden
C. The requirement of the hotel was strict D. The reason for the apology was unusual
6. What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 convey?
A. The hotel is the best hotel choice B. The hotel will be remembered easily
C. Only brainless guests will come back D. Guests will revisit the hotel without thinking.
7. What is the writer's purpose of writing the text?
A. To share his experience B. To recommend a hotel
C. To provide his suggestion D. To analyze marketing challenges
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者认为如今的公司仅仅做到让顾客满意是不够的，要超出顾客的满意，做到极致。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Companies need to change their old slogan aim for excellence and deliver more a lot more!(公司需要改变他们的旧口号，追求卓越，提供更多！)”可知，今天的公司应该寻求优质服务。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I completed their form, giving four-star and five-star ratings, as I had been very satisfied with the hotel rooms, the staff and their services. Imagine my shock therefore when I received the following apology email a day or so after submitting my review(我填完他们的表格，给了四星和五星的评价，因为我对酒店的房间、员工和他们的服务非常满意。因此，想象一下，当我在提交评论后的一天左右收到以下道歉邮件时，我是多么震惊)”可知，作者对道歉邮件感到震惊因为道歉的原因不同寻常。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“For them customer satisfaction is not enough.”以及后文“no other hotel choice would make sense!”可知，对他们来说，顾客满意是不够的，他们希望他们的客人非常满意，从而不假思索地再次造访这个酒店，而不选择其它酒店了，故第4段划线部分传达的信息是：客人会不假思索地重游酒店。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But the means of doing that is a hard nut.(但如何做到这一点是一个难题)”以及最后一段中“The above personal example I give is one way that the hotel staff tries to correct whatever is not a “superior experience” and may serve as a lesson.(我举的上述个人例子，是酒店员工试图纠正任何不是“高级体验”的方法之一，可以作为一个经验教训)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是提供建议。故选C。
C
We all know at least one person who loves their food insanely hot. They insist that their hot wings “aren’t spicy enough unless I’m dripping with sweat.” From Latin America to Sichuan province, chili peppers and their famous burning taste have become a worldwide sensation. But how could something that burns so hot possibly be any good for people?
In a study by researchers at Marshall University in the US, scientists made the first complete description of capsaicin (辣椒素) — a chemical found in spicy chilis — and its anti-cancer properties. Although capsaicin is not normally a good medicine due to some negative properties such as its spicy flavor, the study found that there are ways to bring out its anti-cancer benefits while overcoming these negatives.
In nature, capsaicin evolved as a defense mechanism (机制) in plants to drive away unwanted animals while attracting those that could spread the seeds, such as birds which cannot taste or feel the spice. From a scientific point of view, capsaicin works by triggering (触发) a pain receptor called TRPV1, causing the body to react as if it had actually touched something hot and dangerous. Yet, this natural repellent (驱虫剂) for most animals has instead become a favorite food for many people, often called “chiliheads”.
So, what is it that attracts humans to capsaicin, chili peppers and spicy food in general? Besides its many health benefits — such as pain relief, weight loss, and body heat regulation — people love eating chili peppers precisely because it hits the pain receptors in just the right way.
As an article published by Scientific American noted: “People seem to enjoy — and actively seek out — many other sensations ... the sensation of falling provided by roller coasters or skydiving, the feelings of fear and anxiety while watching horror movies, the physical pain experienced upon jumping into icy water, or even the feelings of sadness that come while watching a tearjerker.”
So, the next time you bite into a hot chili pepper, remember: it’s not just healthy, but fun too!
8. What does the underlined word “property” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Tissue. B. Benefit. C. Possession. D. Quality.
9. What can we learn from the result of the study by researchers at Marshall University?
A. The study describes capsaicin for the first time.
B. Capsaicin contributes to the prevention of cancer.
C. There is a chemical called capsaicin in spicy chilis.
D. The negative features of capsaicin cannot be overcome.
10. How does capsaicin benefit plants?
A. It prevents birds from eating plants.
B. It causes more seeds to be produced.
C. It attracts some animals to distribute seeds.
D. It helps plants survive in hot or dangerous situations.
11. How does the author prove spicy food is fun?
A. By giving an example. B. By making a comparison.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By conducting research.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了辣椒为什么对人体有好处，以及人们为什么喜欢辣椒。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Although capsaicin is not normally a good medicine due to some negative properties such as its spicy flavor, the study found that there are ways to bring out its anti-cancer benefits while overcoming these negatives.(尽管辣椒素由于其辛辣的味道等负面特性而通常不是一种好的药物，但研究发现，有一些方法可以在克服这些负面因素的同时发挥其抗癌功效)”可知，划线词所在的句子表示“在美国马歇尔大学研究人员的一项研究中，科学家首次完整描述了辣椒素——一种在辣椒中发现的化学物质——及其抗癌特性”。由此推知，划线词property的意思是“特性，性质”，和quality意思相近，故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In a study by researchers at Marshall University in the Us, scientists made the first complete description of capsaicin (辣椒素) — a chemical found in spicy chilies — and its anti-cancer properties. (在美国马歇尔大学的一项研究中，科学家首次完整描述了辣椒素——一种在辣辣椒中发现的化学物质——及其抗癌特性)”可知，辣椒素是可以抗癌的。故选B。
【10题详解】

【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“As Scientific American noted: “People seem to enjoy — and actively seek out—many other sensations ... the sensation of falling provided by roller coasters or skydiving, the feelings of fear and anxiety while watching horror movies, the physical pain experienced upon jumping into icy water, or even the feelings of sadness that come while watching a tearjerker.”(正如《科学美国人》所指出的：人们似乎享受——并积极寻求——许多其他的感觉……坐过山车或跳伞时的坠落感，看恐怖片时的恐惧和焦虑感，跳入冰冷的水中时的身体疼痛感，甚至是看催人泪下的电影时的悲伤感)”可知，作者通过比较来证明辣的食物是有趣的。故选B。
D
Schoolbooks typically present explorers as fearless individuals who, for example, sail wooden ships to new lands. But today most explorers who are making fundamental discoveries are scientists. And whether the frontiers are tiny, like the human genome, or massive, like our deepest oceans, we still have much left to learn about planet Earth. What modern scientists pursue equals anything in a history book or an adventure novel.
Exploration is science in its most basic form — asking questions of the natural world and, we hope, using the answers for the betterment of everything on Earth.
Exploration has great value. It inspires us, widens our knowledge and gives us hope for a better future. And the practical payoffs can even be lifesaving. Scientists who spent decades exploring what was in the atmosphere found that over time the concentration of carbon dioxide was rising. Without that discovery, we humans would now be living like the proverbial frog in a pot of gradually heating water, unsure why the environment around us is changing, and slowly boiling to death.
The human drive to overcome challenges is an essential aspect of the human drive to explore which, in most cases, spurs innovation. Early human submarines that reached the bottom of the deepest ocean trenches (海沟) made the trip just once, stressed by the enormous pressures there. But eventually a more stress-resistant vehicle, the Limiting Factor, allowed investor and undersea explorer Victor Vescovo to reach trench bottoms numerous times.
Now there are roughly 4,000 autonomous Argo floats across the world’s oceans that dive down to 2,000 feet and resurface every 10 days, gathering data about basic physical traits (特性) such as water temperature and pressure. The Argo group will also deploy (部署) dozens of sensors every year that will gather biological and chemical data, leading to new observations about marine life.
Other institutions plan to search the seas together, sending data to guide ships that forward the information to researchers on shore. Ocean research groups have made it a priority to openly share their discoveries and data with the public and to inspire the next generation of young scientists. Anyone can go along for the ride — we can all be explorers.
Captain James T. Kirk began each episode of the original Star Trek television series by saying, “Space, the final frontier.” Not necessarily. We still have plenty to discover right here on Earth, and we eagerly await surprises from the newest worlds we find.
12. Why does the author mention the example of the proverbial frog in Paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate the significance of exploration. B. To stress the importance of knowledge.
C. To argue for the necessity of innovation. D. To show the impact of global warming.
13. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The discoveries made by modern scientists cannot match what the adventurers pursue.
B Undersea explorers can reach the bottom of the deepest ocean for quite a few times now.
C. Argo floats dive to the deep ocean to collect fundamental information about the ocean.
D. The human desire to take on challenges leads to the achievements of ocean exploration.
14. What can we know from the last two paragraphs?
A. Everyone is an explorer. B. Sharing the ocean data is compulsory.
C. Exploring the earth can still be fruitful. D. Space will be human’s final frontier.
15. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Fearless Explorers B. Ocean Exploration C. Earth Exploration D. Next Frontiers
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了探索是科学最基本的形式——提出自然世界的问题，我们希望用这些问题的答案来改善地球上的一切，最后的前沿不一定是太空，探索地球仍然是有意义的。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Exploration has great value. It inspires us, widens our knowledge and gives us hope for a better future. And the practical payoffs can even be lifesaving. Scientists who spent decades exploring what was in the atmosphere found that over time the concentration of carbon dioxide was rising. Without that discovery, we humans would now be living like the proverbial frog in a pot of gradually heating water, unsure why the environment around us is changing, and slowly boiling to death.(探索有很大的价值。它激励我们，扩大我们的知识，给我们一个更美好的未来的希望。实际的回报甚至可以挽救生命。科学家们花了几十年时间探索大气中的物质，发现随着时间的推移，二氧化碳的浓度正在上升。如果没有这一发现，我们人类现在就会像谚语中所说的青蛙一样生活在逐渐加热的水里，不知道我们周围的环境为什么会发生变化，然后慢慢地沸腾而死。)”可推知，第三段中的“温水煮青蛙”的例子用来说明探索的重要性。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“What modern scientists pursue equals anything in a history book or an adventure novel.(现代科学家所追求的东西相当于历史书或冒险小说中的任何东西。)”可知，A选项“The discoveries made by modern scientists cannot match what the adventurers pursue.(现代科学家的发现比不上冒险家的追求。)”是不正确的，故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Other institutions plan to search the seas together, sending data to guide ships that forward the information to researchers on shore. Ocean research groups have made it a priority to openly share their discoveries and data with the public and to inspire the next generation of young scientists.(其他机构计划一起搜索海洋，将数据发送给指导船只，并将信息转发给岸上的研究人员。海洋研究小组已将公开与公众分享他们的发现和数据，并激励下一代年轻科学家作为优先事项。)”和最后一段的“We still have plenty to discover right here on Earth, and we eagerly await surprises from the newest worlds we find.(我们在地球上还有很多东西要发现，我们热切地等待着来自我们发现的最新世界的惊喜。)”可知，从最后两段我们可以知道探索地球仍然是有收获的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“And whether the frontiers are tiny, like the human genome, or massive, like our deepest oceans, we still have much left to learn about planet Earth. What modern scientists pursue equals anything in a history book or an adventure novel.(无论前沿领域是微小的，如人类基因组，还是巨大的，如我们最深的海洋，我们对地球还有很多需要了解的地方。现代科学家所追求的东西相当于历史书或冒险小说中的任何东西。)”和最后一段的““Space, the final frontier.” Not necessarily. We still have plenty to discover right here on Earth, and we eagerly await surprises from the newest worlds we find.(“太空，最后的前沿。”不一定。我们在地球上还有很多东西要发现，我们热切地等待着来自我们发现的最新世界的惊喜。)”可知，本文主要讲的是探索是科学最基本的形式——提出自然世界的问题，我们希望用这些问题的答案来改善地球上的一切，最后的前沿不一定是太空，探索地球仍然是有意义的，因此最好的题目是D选项“Next Frontiers(接下来的前沿)”，故选D。
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。
Science shows that stretching (拉伸) isn’t actually literal — you’re not even “stretching” your muscles at all. ____16____. It does wonders for both your joints and your muscles. What’s more, stretching helps your blood flow, reduces your risk of injury, helps you lose weight, and even relieves your stress. So what if you don’t do stretching after exercise?
You could feel sick
You won’t be surprised to know that when you exercise, you raise your heart rate for a period of time. ____17____, experts will tell you that it’s just as important to “get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over.” This is also known in the fitness world as “cooling down.”
“After physical activity, your heart is still beating faster than normal, your body temperature is higher and your blood vessels get bigger,” write the health experts at the American Heart Association. “This means if you stop too fast, you could faint or feel sick. ____18____.”
Your muscles will likely become stiffer and more sore (酸痛的)
When you exercise your muscles, it produces an inflammatory (炎症的) response in the form of lactic acid (乳酸), which is actually what causes your muscles to become sore. When you rest — or “recover” — in the time between bouts of exercise, your body naturally breaks down and gets rid of that lactic acid. One thing that helps your body get rid of that lactic acid? ____19____. Stretching helps you distribute oxygen throughout your body and muscles, which, according to the Healthline, “can reduce lactic acid production and rid your muscles of any accumulation of lactic acid.”
____20____
Having poor flexibility isn’t good for your body. According to the experts in the sports medicine department at UC Davis Health, inflexibility will cause you to have muscles that tire quicker and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury, and your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. In the case of the latter, it’s why people often feel stiffness and pain in their “weight bearing” joints, such as the knees and hips. And sticking to stretching exercise after physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility.
A. You guessed it: Stretching
B. While it’s great to get that blood flowing
C. You’ll be at risk of injury for lack of flexibility
D. You have to improve your flexibility by stretching
E. If you want some clever ways to work your muscles more every day
F. A cooldown after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the session
G. In fact, its true purpose is to lengthen and mobilize the connective tissue around your muscle
【答案】16. G 17. B 18. F 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了运动后不做拉伸的几点坏处。
【16题详解】
上文“Science shows that stretching (拉伸) isn’t actually literal — you’re not even ‘stretching’ your muscles at all.(科学表明拉伸并不是字面意思——你甚至根本没有“拉伸”你的肌肉)”提出人们对于拉伸认识的不足，G选项“In fact, its true purpose is to lengthen and mobilize the connective tissue around your muscle (事实上，拉伸的真正目的是延长和调动肌肉周围的结缔组织)”承接上文，说明了拉伸的作用，下文“It does wonders for both your joints and your muscles. What’s more, stretching helps your blood flow, reduces your risk of injury, helps you lose weight, and even relieves your stress. So what if you don’t do stretching after exercise?(它对你的关节和肌肉都有神奇的效果。更重要的是，拉伸有助于你的血液流动，减少受伤的风险，帮助你减肥，甚至减轻你的压力。那么，如果你在运动后不做伸展运动呢？)”进一步对拉伸的具体作用进行了的详细解释，上下文语意连贯。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“You won’t be surprised to know that when you exercise, you raise your heart rate for a period of time. (当你锻炼时，你会发现在一段时间内心率的提高，不用感到惊讶)” 可知，上文提到在运动中心率会提高，结合常识，这意味着血液流动会加快。B选项“While it’s great to get that blood flowing (尽管让血液流动起来很好)”中“get that blood flowing”照应上文，同时作让步状语从句与下文“it’s just as important to ‘get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over.’(在锻炼结束后，让你的心率恢复到正常水平也同样重要。)”构成转折关系，上下文语意连贯，故选B。
【18题详解】
上文“This means if you stop too fast, you could pass out or feel sick. (这意味着如果你停下来太快，你可能会昏倒或感到恶心)”讲如果突然停止运动，会造成不适，F选项“A cooldown after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the session (体育活动后的冷却期能让你在活动结束后慢慢缓过来)”提出解决问题的办法，其中“a gradual decrease”与上文“stop too fast”相对应，上下文语意连贯。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文“One thing that helps your body dispose of that lactic acid?(有一件事可以帮助你的身体处理乳酸？)”可知，上文提出一个问题：有没有方法可以帮助身体排除乳酸？故本句接下来应该回答问题。故A项“You guessed it: Stretching(你猜对了：拉伸)”给出答案并呼应主题。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据本段内容“Having poor flexibility isn’t good for your body. According to the experts in the sports medicine department at UC Davis Health, inflexibility will cause you to have muscles that tire quicker and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury, and your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. In the case of the latter, it’s why people often feel stiffness and pain in their “weight bearing” joints, such as the knees and hips. And sticking to stretching exercise after physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility. (柔韧性差对身体不好。根据加州大学戴维斯分校健康中心运动医学系的专家们的说法，缺乏弹性会导致你的肌肉更快疲劳，关节更容易受伤，而且你活动范围的减弱会导致关节的血液和营养物质减少。在后者的情况下，这就是为什么人们经常感到他们的“承重”关节僵硬和疼痛，如膝盖和臀部。运动后坚持做伸展运动有望提高你的柔韧性)”可知，本段的主旨是“拉伸可以避免受伤”。故C选项“You’ll be at risk of injury for lack of flexibility(你会有受伤的风险)”符合语境。故选C。

42. it 43. discouraged
44. announcing
45. punishment
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了在奥德修斯是如何帮助希腊人战胜了特洛伊人。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：他拒绝了一位希腊国王的舒适生活，并承诺帮助另一位希腊领导人梅内劳斯对抗特洛伊人。根据句意可知，空处表示“对抗”，用介词against。故填against。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：但战争一拖再拖，他离开家人十年了。根据“dragged”可知，本句为一般过去时。故填was。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在这一时期，战争的命运变幻莫测，没有人能预测哪一方会获胜。形容词changeable作表语，符合句意。 故填changeable。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：他非常想回家。副词修饰动词wanted。故填desperately。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：因此，在希腊国王每周例会的时候，他建议欺骗特洛伊人。先行词为occasion，在定语从句中作时间状语，用关系副词when引导该时间状语从句。故填when。
【41题详解】
考查动名词。句意：因此，在希腊国王每周例会的时候，他建议欺骗特洛伊人。suggest doing sth“建议做某事”，动名词作宾语。故填tricking。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意：希腊人建造了一匹巨大的木马，这样他们的士兵就可以躲在里面。指代前文的“木马”用it作宾语。故填it。
【43题详解】
考查省略句。句意：希腊人然后假装对这场旷日持久的战争感到沮丧，离开了那匹木马。本句为状语从句的省略，还原后为：as if they were discouraged。省略了they were，保留过去分词。 故填discouraged。
【44题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：随后，传来了宣布希腊获胜的警铃声。分析句子可知，空处填非谓语动词，warning bell与announce为主动关系，用现在分词作后置定语。故填announcing。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：争结束了，但对特洛伊人的惩罚才刚刚开始。the后接名词punishment作主语。故填punishment。
第三节 单句填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下列句子短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

【答案】more significant
【解析】

48. Happiness is something a vast majority of people are in ________ (pursue) of and it’s something we all want. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】pursuit
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：幸福是大多数人都在追求的东西，也是我们都想要的东西。根据句意和空格前介词可知，应使用名词pursuit作宾语，构成介词短语in pursuit of...意为“寻求，追求”。故填pursuit。

【答案】to be admitted

【答案】had intended
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：昨天晚上，我本打算全神贯注地工作，却被楼上邻居的噪音打扰了。had intended to do sth“本打算做某事”，表示对过去动作的虚拟。故填had intended。
53. With all the evidence ________ (collect), the police charged the world-famous tennis player with murdering his wife. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】collected
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：在收集了所有的证据后，警方指控这位世界著名的网球运动员谋杀了他的妻子。空格处是with的复合结构，evidence和collect之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，作宾语补足语，故填collected。

【答案】disappointed
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：从布莱克失望的表情来看，他的父母知道他只是得到了一个B，而他一直希望得到一个A。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词look，look意为“表情”，修饰人的表情要用ed结尾的形容词，disappoint的ed结尾的形容词是disappointed，意为“失望的”。故填disappointed。
57. It’s estimated that over 6.6 million lives ________ (claim) so far worldwide from the COVID-19 outbreak. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】have been claimed
【解析】

【答案】resulting
【解析】

【答案】beyond
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意：众所周知，西藏的美无与伦比。加入我们的全包旅行，你一定会有一次一生难忘的旅行。分析句子结构可知，空后是名词compare，所以空处要么填形容词，要么填介词，根据句意可知此处表达“无与伦比”之意，为短语beyond compare，所以应填介词beyond。故填beyond。
60. If you see a yellow ribbon ________ (attach) to the oak tree in the yard, it is a signal that you are welcome back home. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】attached
【解析】
