第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The capital of a country is often a very populated city where much history has been made due to the high-level political and economic functions that occur there. However, sometimes government leaders decide to move the capital from one city to another. Capital relocation has been done hundreds of times throughout history. The ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Chinese changed their capital frequently.
Some countries choose new capitals that are more easily defended in a time of invasion (侵略) or war. Some new capitals are planned and built in previously undeveloped areas to promote development. Countries sometimes change their capital because they expect some type of political, social, or economic benefit. They hope and expect that the new capitals will surely develop into cultural treasure and hopefully make the country a more stable place.
Here are capital relocations that have occurred in approximately the last few centuries.

from Kyoto to Tokyo — 1868
Turkey
from Istanbul to Ankara — 1923

【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据表格中“Poland from Krakow to Warsaw — 1596 (波兰于1596年将首都从克拉科夫迁到华沙)”可推知，波兰于1596年将首都从克拉科夫迁到华沙；再对比表格中其它国家迁都时间可知，波兰迁都的时间最早。故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据表格中“Italy from Turin to Florence to Salerno to Rome — 1871 (意大利在1871年将首都从都灵迁到佛罗伦萨，再迁到到萨勒诺，最后再迁到罗马)”可知，意大利曾经将首都从都灵迁到佛罗伦萨，再迁到到萨勒诺，最后再迁到罗马；再结合表格中“Jamaica from Port Royal to Spanish Town to Kingston-1872 (牙买加在1872年将首都从皇家港迁到西班牙城，最后再迁到金斯敦)”可知，牙买加曾将首都从皇家港迁到西班牙城，最后再迁到金斯敦。由此可知，意大利和牙买加的共同之处在于这两个国家都不止一次迁都。故选A。
B
I was sitting at my desk when another graduate student in my lab approached me. “Can you help?” he begged. His experiment wasn’t working and he desperately needed help. I was a fifth year PhD student, the senior member of the lab at the time. As I had many times before, I gave in and said yes.
I had a hard time saying no to such requests. I was new to the United States for graduate school. I found it difficult to make new friends and discover afterwork activities I enjoyed. So I spent a huge chunk of my time in the lab, with my labmates serving as my primary source of social connection. I feared that if I brushed them off, I’d lose their favor.
After I graduated and started a job in industry, I continued to carry the same attitude with me, and it continued to cost me. It wasn’t until my wife gave birth to our first child that I realized how thin I had stretched myself and how misguided my priorities(重要的事) were. While she lay in a hospital bed in the early stages of labor(分娩阵痛), I sat nearby, busy in correcting a work report on my laptop for my colleague. Hours later, after hearing my daughter’s first cry and watching her tiny fingers grab tightly onto mine, it dawned on me that I should have been fully present during my daughter’s birth.
From then on, I determined to spare more time for my family by reducing my work tasks and carefully considering each request for help. I still enjoyed cooperating with others, but I dealt with mutually(共同地) beneficial tasks first, rather than accepting everything that came my way.
I noticed many benefits, and few disadvantages. My daily work schedule was not so crowded. I no longer worked overtime, and I was able to improve my work performance by focusing more on important tasks. I was also pleased to discover that “Sorry, I’d love to help but I have a deadline coming up” is an acceptable response to a request for assistance. Most colleagues seem to understand.
It’s hard to say “no” to those you work with. But I’ve learned that sometimes that’s the best way to avoid too much workload and lead a freer and happier life.
4. Why was it hard for the author to refuse others’ requests in school?
A. He was eager for good relations with others.
B. He was interested in helping others.
C. He was fond of doing experiments.
D. He was the most experienced student.
5. What did the author realize after his daughter’s birth?
A. He was guilty for his absence when she was born.
B. His wife had sacrificed a lot for the family.
C. He should have balanced work and life better.
D. He should work harder due to the increased responsibilities.
6. What happened to the author after refusing others?
A. He got along badly with his colleagues.
B. He got a lot more vital tasks.
C. He received assistance from his colleagues.
D. He got less work and more joy.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Enjoying family life. B. Giving priority to family.
C. Giving and taking. D. Learning to say “no”.
【4~7题答案】
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要通过自己的事例，说明要学会拒绝，学会说“不”才会使自己减少过量的工作，增加生活的快乐。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I found it difficult to make new friends and discover afterwork activities I enjoyed. So I spent a huge chunk of my time in the lab, with my labmates serving as my primary source of social connection. I feared that if I brushed them off, I’d lose their favor.(我发现很难交到新朋友，也很难发现我喜欢的课外活动。所以我花了大量的时间在实验室里，我的实验室伙伴是我社会联系的主要来源。我担心如果我拒绝他们，我会失去他们的好感。)”可知，作者在学校很难拒绝别人的请求是因为他渴望与别人建立良好的关系。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Hours later, after hearing my daughter’s first cry and watching her tiny fingers grab tightly onto mine, it dawned on me that I should have been fully present during my daughter’s birth. (几个小时后，听到女儿的第一次啼哭，看着她的小手紧紧抓住我的手，我突然意识到，在女儿出生的时候，我本应该全程在场。)”以及第四段中“From then on, I determined to spare more time for my family by reducing my work tasks and carefully considering each request for help. (从那时起，我决定减少我的工作任务，仔细考虑每一个别人请求的帮助，花更多的时间在我的家庭。)”可知，作者在女儿出生后意识到了他应该更好地平衡工作和生活。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“I noticed many benefits, and few disadvantages. My daily work schedule was not so crowded. (我注意到有很多好处，没什么缺点。我的日常工作安排不那么紧张了。)”和最后一段“It’s hard to say ‘no’ to those you work with. But I’ve learned that sometimes that’s the best way to avoid too much workload and lead a freer and happier life. (对你的同事说‘不’是很难的。但我知道，有时这是避免过多工作量、过上更自由、更快乐生活的最好方法。)”可知，作者拒绝别人之后，他的工作量减少了，快乐增多了。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段“It’s hard to say ‘no’ to those you work with. But I’ve learned that sometimes that’s the best way to avoid too much workload and lead a freer and happier life. (对你的同事说‘不’是很难的。但我知道，有时这是避免过多工作量、过上更自由、更快乐生活的最好方法。)”可知，本文主要通过自己的事例，说明要学会拒绝，才会使自己减少过量的工作，增加生活的快乐。所以，“学会说‘不’”是这篇文章的主题。故选D项。
C
As a popular subject of study among evolutionary ecologists, three-spined stickleback (三刺鱼) is known for their different shapes, sizes, and behaviors-they can even live in both seawater and freshwater, and under a wide range of temperatures. But what makes that?
The researchers tracked six populations of the fish before and after seasonal changes to their environment, using genome sequencing. Seasonal changes result in great changes in habitat structure and balance of salt and freshwater, and only those fish able to tolerate these rapid changes survive into the next season.
“After comparing these changes, we find that they probably resemble the habitat shits experienced by stickleback populations during the past 10,000 years.” says Professor Barrett “We hope to gain insight into the genetic changes that may have resulted from natural selection long in the past.”
Remarkably, the researchers discovered the evidence of genetic changes driven by the seasonal shifts in habitats, which mirrored the differences found between long-established freshwater and saltwater populations. “These genetic changes occurred in independent populations over a single season, highlighting just how quickly the effects of natural selection can be detected,” says Professor Barrett, "The findings suggest that we may be able to use the genetic differences to predict how populations may adapt to environment."
The research emphasizes the importance of studying species in dynamic environments to gain a better understanding of how natural selection operates. In further research, they plan to investigate how repeatable the observed genetic changes are, by testing whether they show up year after year. Doing so would demonstrate their ability to reliably forecast the evolutionary future of these populations.
8 Why is stickleback a popular subject of study?
A. The fish is adaptable to different living conditions.
B. Seasonal changes make little difference to the fish.
C. Six populations of the fish are worthy to being tracked
D. Ecologists can study a wide range of temperatures by tracking the fish.
9. In which way did researchers get the findings?
A. By explaining a concept. B. By analyzing the data.
C. By studying a specific case. D. By making comparisons.
10. What's the significance of the study?
A. It will arouse people's awareness of protecting stickleback.
B. It makes researchers pay more attention to genetic changes
C. It helps us gain deep insight into the law of natural selection.
D. It proves that stickleback is a really popular subject of study
11. What's the purpose of studying the repetition of the genetic changes?
A. To study species in dynamic environments. B. To test the reliability of the present discoveries.
C. To predict the evolutionary future of certain species. D. To know the frequency of certain species' appearance.
【8~11题答案】
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】

Singapore has announced new measures designed to quickly increase local food production, including rooftop farming. Officials in the city-state recently set a goal to meet 30 percent of Singapore’s nutritional needs with locally produced food by 2030. The plan includes $21 million in government money to support local production of eggs, vegetables and fish “in the shortest possible time”. The plans were announced as the worldwide spread of COVID-19 has caused shortage of many products, including food in some areas.
Restrictions on population movements around the world have weakened supply chains and raised concerns about worsening shortages and price increases. Currently, densely populated Singapore produces only about 10 percent of its own food needs. Only 1 percent of Singapore’s 724 square kilometers are currently used for agriculture. And production costs there are higher than the rest of Southeast Asia. Singapore’s Food Agency says its goal is to raise local food production levels to make up for climate change and population growth that could threaten worldwide food supplies. “The current COVID-19 situation underscores the importance of local food production, as part of Singapore’s strategies to ensure food security,” the Food Agency said in a statement.
Singapore officials have repeatedly told citizens that the city-state has enough food to get through the COVID-19 crisis. But they have decided to speed up the process of increasing local production to begin within the next six months. This plan includes efforts to identify alternative farming spaces, such as industrial areas and empty building spaces. It also calls for adding new technologies to improve farming methods. Officials said one part of the project aims to establish roof top farms on public housing parking areas beginning in May.
12. What can we know about Singapore’s new plan?
A. More money will be given to support local food production.
B. Local produced food will play the most part by 2030.
C. It aims to increase food import.
D. It will help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
13. Why did Singapore announce new measures?
A. To case the concerns caused by restrictions.
B. To prepare for the possible shortage of worldwide food supplies.
C. To promote population growth of the nation.
D. To reduce local food production cost.
14. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “underscores” in paragraph 2?
A. Reduces. B. Explains.
C. Replaces. D. Highlights.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The reasons to speed up local food production.
B. The troubles the new plan is facing.
C. The ways to increase food production.
D. The benefits brought by the new measures.

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。
Located on cliffs above a river, Hongyadong is a stilt-house complex (高脚屋建筑群) in traditional style in Chongqing. The past few years have seen an explosive increase in the number of visitors. ____16____ For a while, it became the biggest attraction in China after only the Forbidden City, according to travel website Mafengwo.
____17____ Instead of having fun, some people now went to remote strawberry farms to take photos to impress their friends on Instagram. But unlike Instagram users, Douyin’s fans commonly use the app to watch popular videos posted by strangers.
In China, uploading a picture or video from a beautiful spot to sites such as Douyin is known as daka. The word is also used to refer to the practice of recording your presence at a location that has already become hot, such as Hongyadong. The aim is simply to show that you have also been to the places that are popular. ____18____
____19____ So-called dakazu—“daka tribes”—can be found in Chongqing and other cities. Visitors try to check in at as many hot locations as possible within a single day. ____20____ Companies offer “daka tours”. Douyin users can use the app to create “daka videos”: super-speed slideshows of themselves at daka sites.
A. Social media has transformed tourism worldwide.
B. Daka is catching on with local residents in many cities.
C. The beauty of the attraction is less important than being there.
D. The main reason, it seems, has been its sudden popularity on Douyin.
E. Guides can be found online, to show the most efficient ways to achieve this.
F. A subculture has developed among young people who accept daka as a lifestyle.
G. With the popularity of social media, especially Douyin, there has been a boost in tourism.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了宇宙中距离地球最近的行星金星。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：金星是唯一能在白天看到的星星。句中先行词为star，在定语从句中担当主语，由于star前有the only修饰，只能用关系代词that引导。故填that。
【37题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：它是夜空中第二亮的自然天体，仅次于地球的月亮。the+序数词+形容词最高级，表示“第几……”，这里表示第二亮。故填brightest。
【38题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：此外，它被高反射云覆盖，反射约70%照耀它的阳光。主语为it，和cover之间存在被动关系，且表示客观事实，所以用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is covered。
39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，它被高反射云覆盖，反射约70%的照耀它的阳光。句中已有谓语动词，所以用非谓语动词担当后置定语，和被修饰词the sunlight之间存在主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填striking。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：如果金星如此明亮，离我们如此近，那么它不是比火星更好的人类探索的选择吗？考查介词之后用名词形式，human exploration可表示人类探索，也可表示多次探索经历。故填exploration(s)。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：它比火星更接近地球，在大小上也更接近地球。in size在面积上、在大小上。故填in。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：距离太阳越近，太阳能发电也就越容易。主语+ be +adj. +to do主语做起来……，不定式一定要用主动形式表被动意思。故填to generate。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：然而，其表面温度约为465°C。上文讲的是从距离和大小上来说金星都是进行人类探索的最佳选择，而下文讲的是去金星上进行探索的困难，两者之间存在转折关系，根据后面的逗号，可知选用表示转折的副词。故填However/Yet/Nevertheless。
【44题详解】
考查时态\语态和主谓一致。句意：但科学家们从未放弃，最近发明了能承受480°C的新计算机设备。根据时间状语recently可知，此处用现在完成时，主语为scientists，和动词create之间存在主动关系。故填have created。
【45题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：他们下一步的目标是在2025年之前向金星发射探测器。分析句子结构可知，本句为主语从句。从句动词expect之后缺少宾语，且指物，所以用连接代词what引导。置于句首，首字母大写。故填What。

One day, when Ali was in school, suddenly while knitting (编织)，Granny remembered something and she couldn't contain her emotions so she got up to tell her son-Ali's father She walked as fast as she could to his room and said, “You always asked about my birth date but do you know today is the day when I was born.”
She looked at her son with an excited expression, expecting an immediate response. However, her son wondered how she could remember her date of birth in this old age when she forgot so many other things, so he didn't pay much attention to this. Disappointed at her son's reaction, Granny then went to Ali's mother and Ali's sister, but like Ali's father, nobody believed her.
Disheartened, she went and sat in the terrace (庭院).When Ali returned from his school, he found his grandmother sitting alone with a sad expression. Ali asked his granny about the matter, but she said there was nothing to worry about. After a lot of persuasion she revealed what was troubling her-nobody seemed to care that it was her birthday today!
After hearing what Granny said, Ali thought of a plan. Purely by chance, some of Ali's friends were playing nearby so he shared his plan with them.

【47题答案】
【答案】His friends were all willing to help Ali achieve what he planned. With Ali acting as the director, stage designer and host, preparation for a performance stage was soon finished. Afterwards, a series of eye-catching performances, ranging from dancing, crosstalk, acrobatics and magic tricks were given by Ali's friends. By this time, the audience had expanded from granny to Ali's whole family, all of whom gave thunderous applause to the carefully staged shows. Towards the end, a huge banner saying 'Happy Birthday, granny!' was put up on the central stage, which pushed the warm and loving atmosphere to its peak.
Ali was so happy to see his granny with tears of joy shining in her eyes. “For all my life I have… never spent… my birthday with so many… relatives and… lovely kids. Thank you, Ali and all of you kids.” Granny stammered, choking up with gratitude and bliss. “Never mind, granny!” Ali grinned, knowing deep down that the real reason for granny's tears was not the party itself, but love, care and trust from her family members, which she believed were gone when they reacted indifferently to her 'made-up' birthday.
