What’s on your travel list for 2021? I’ve consulted several travel experts to find out the top places in the USA worth visiting in 2021.
Where: New Orleans, Louisiana
Why: New Orleans is known for its music and food—not to mention the festivals.
It has about 130 festivals each year, so there’s really no bad time to visit. Bourbon Street is the obvious choice for food, drink and jazz and it’s definitely a must-visit location, especially for the first timers to the city.
Where: Vail, Colorado
Why: Vail is the perfect destination for travelers looking to find almost everything in one central spot. Stay at the amazing Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail a few steps away from Vail Village, a popular town with cobblestone(鹅卵石) steets for wandering leisurely. The country’s largest free transportation system runs frequently, making it easy to access almost anywhere from Vail Village to Lionshead Village.
Where: Hudson Valley, New York
Why: The Hudson Valley is where New Yorkers go to escape the city when they need a healthy dose of nature and relaxation. Just an hour and half north of New York City, the Hudson Valley is made up of small, impossibly charming towns, where the air is fresher and things do move slower in the mountains.
1. You can enjoy different things in New Orleans EXCEPT________.
A. sports B. music C. festivals D. food
2. Which place would you prefer if you like wandering leisurely?
A. Bourbon Street. B. New Orleans.
C. Vail Village. D. Lionshead Village.
3. What can New Yorkers enjoy in the Hudson Valley?
A. Ancient towns. B. Healthy diets.
C. Light music. D. Wonderful nature.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三个2021年美国最值得去的地方。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Where: New Orleans, Louisiana中“Why: New Orleans is known for its music and food—not to mention the festivals. (理由：新奥尔良以它的音乐和美食而闻名，更不用说那些节日了。)”可知在新奥尔良，你可以享受到音乐、节日和食物，并没有提到运动。故选A项。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据Where: Vail, Colorado中“Stay at the amazing Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail a few steps away from Vail Village, a popular town with cobblestone(鹅卵石) steets for wandering leisurely. (待在令人惊讶的四季度假村和维尔住宅，它离维尔村几步远，是一个受欢迎的小镇，能漫步悠闲在鹅卵石道上。)”可知，如果你喜欢悠闲地逛逛，你会喜欢去维尔村。故选C项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Where: Hudson Valley, New York中“Why: The Hudson Valley is where New Yorkers go to escape the city when they need a healthy dose of nature and relaxation. (理由：当纽约人需要享受自然和放松的时候，哈德逊河谷是纽约人逃离城市的地方。)”可知，纽约人在哈德逊河谷能享受到奇妙的大自然。故选D项。
B
I believe in the power of science fiction, not just for its capacity to turn dreams into reality, but also for its power to bond together those who share a common view of the future. For me, that’s true for my relationship with my dad. Some fathers and sons bond over sports, fishing or hunting, but my dad and I bond over Star Trek. We tried a trip to Disney World, but one of my earliest memories wasn’t Mickey, but a Klingon battle cruiser on the screen.
Over the years, nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dad and me. When it’s warm at night, we’re not driving along some dark streets in Indiana, but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining. Both of us are thinking of them, without needing to say a word. All these imaginations of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me.
Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek, once said, “Science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects.” A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad, but has also helped me shape my own hopes for the future. I’m now a science writer.
Yes, science fiction has made me into a “nerd” and it also has been a source of joy for my family, making me an optimist while enabling me to think critically about the danger of technology. Thank those authors who have shared their visions: the world and my family are better for it. Thank my dad, who is both the best storyteller and the best man I have ever known because he helped me realize the truth of Tennyson’s words, “For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be.”
4. What contributes to the bond between the author and his father?
A. Their similar dream. B. Their love for each other.
C. Their common interest. D. Their hobby of fishing.
5. What does the author mainly show in paragraph 2?
A. His deep impression of his dad. B. His feeling of staying with his dad.
C. His earliest memory of his dad. D. His good relationship with his dad.
6. How does science fiction help the author at present?
A. It leads him to pursue a desirable career. B. It brings him the courage to live better.
C. It inspires him to face the danger of technology. D. It makes him a source of his family’s joy.
7. What may be the best title for the text?
A. The Wonders Science Brings B. The Power of Science Fiction
C. The Stories About Science Fiction D. The Time Together with My Father
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者和父亲都热爱科幻小说，它不仅帮助作者和父亲建立了深厚的感情，而且帮助作者实现了梦想。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“For me, that’s true for my relationship with my dad. Some fathers and sons bond over sports, fishing or hunting, but my dad and I bond over Star Trek.(对我来说，我和我爸的关系也是如此。有些父亲和儿子会因为运动、钓鱼或打猎而增进感情，但我父亲和我却会因为《星际迷航》而增进感情)”可知，是作者和他父亲的共同兴趣促成了他们之间的关系。故选C。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Over the years, nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dad and me. When it’s warm at night, we’re not driving along some dark streets in Indiana, but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining. Both of us are thinking of them, without needing to say a word. All these imaginations of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me. (这些年来，几乎所有的场景和情况对我和爸爸来说都变得很遥远。天气暖和的时候，我们晚上不是在印第安纳州黑暗的街道上开车，而是在星光暗淡的照耀下缓慢行驶。我们两个人都在想着它们，不用说一句话。所有这些对其他世界的想象共同为我和爸爸创造了一个私人的世界)”可知，作者在第二段主要说明了他和他爸爸的良好关系。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad, but has also helped me shape my own hopes for the future. I’m now a science writer.(一生的科幻小说不仅影响了我和父亲的关系，还帮助我塑造了自己对未来的希望。我现在是一名科学作家)”可知，现在科幻小说帮助作者追求理想的职业。故选A。

There is little doubt that house cats first developed naturally from ancient wild cats. The closest relative is the African wild cat which still lives in Africa today. This is understandable because the first house cats came from Africa.
Cats first started to live around people in Egypt about 6,000—7,000 years ago. From Egypt, cats started to move around the world. This is about the same time that Egyptians began storing grain in buildings. Scientists used to believe that people tamed cats to catch mice and protect the grain. However, cats don’t like to be told what to do! Now, scientists believe that cats followed the mice and learned to accept people. Finally, some of the cats began to grow comfortable around people. These were smaller cats that needed protection. As these cats and people got used to each other, then they moved in together. Around 5,000 years ago, cats started to live with people.
Soon cats were in Greece, then the Middle East and China. They moved along Egyptian business roads keeping away mice and keeping people around them. After the Romans came to Egypt, they also accepted the cats and brought them to Europe. These cats likely bred with other cats to form the many kinds of house cats we have today.
Cats are relatively recent house animals. House cats still have a lot in common with their wild relatives. Cats sleep a lot to save energy just like wild cats. They will often get food at night as well. House cats are generally peaceful and friendly, but be careful! If a cat feels it is in danger, it will fight back—just like a wild cat!
8. Where did the first house cats come from?
A. Asia. B. Africa. C. Europe. D. America.
9. When did cats start to live with people?
A. About 4,000 years ago. B. About 5,000 years ago.
C. About 6,000 years ago. D. About 7,000 years ago.
10. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Cats started to move around the world from China.
B. Cats get food at night to save energy like wild cats.
C. Cats have a little in common with their wild relatives.
D. Cats were accepted and brought to Europe by Romans.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The development of house cats. B. Different cats in different countries.
C. The relationship between cats and people. D. The differences between house cats and wild cats.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了家猫的发展演变，在世界上的传播过程以及和野猫的共同之处等情况。

If businesses are to get workers back into the office, finding ways to keep social distancing will be key. An Israeli company thinks it can help, using smart sensors installed on workplace ceilings.
PointGrab developed its technology before the Covid-19 to help workspace managers optimize how employees use office space. About the size of a smoke alarm, the sensors can record the exact number and location of people in buildings including offices, hotels and restaurants.
One of the company's first clients was Deloitte, which installed the system at its London office last year. PointGrab's sensors were connected to screens in the building to show the availability of desks and shared areas in real time. PointGrab CEO Doron Shachar says it was one of a series of innovations that helped Deloitte fit 30% more people into 3% less space.
Now PointGrab has adapted the technology so the sensors can also monitor social distancing by keeping track of how far apart people are, and whether they're traveling in one direction around a building. Workspace managers can set up alerts for when two people are closer than two meters for more than 30 seconds, for example.
The sensors have been included in the “six feet office” concept created by a company Cushman & amp; Wakefield to encourage employees to practice social distancing. They are currently being used in this way at a university in the Netherlands, and at an innovation centre in Belgium. While the social distancing innovation is new, PointGrab has installed more than 10, 000 sensors for workspace optimization, including in the offices of Coca-Cola, Facebook and Dell.
Workers might not like the idea of being monitored, but PointGrab says no images or identifying features are recorded. Instead, each employee is represented as an dot on a dashboard. “The sensor does not violate people’s privacy,” Shachar says. “This is extremely important in the workspace.”
12. What can we learn about PointGrab?
A. It has been dedicated to outdoor monitoring.
B. It established industry standards for monitoring.
C. It has developed a sensor to monitor social distancing.
D. Its new product gets inspiration from the smoke alarm.
13. Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “optimize”?
A. Reduce workplace seriously. B. Select employees wisely.
C Take their time efficiently. D. Make the most of.
14. What's the result of the use of PointGrab’s products?
A. Office efficiency will be greatly improved.
B. It will improve the availability of office space.
C. It can keep track of the whole working process.
D. It makes the staff work at ease without being disturbed.
15. What's the working staff’s anxiety?
A. Their privacy will be revealed.
B. The activity space has been reduced.
C. The change has affected work efficiency.
D. They cannot work under monitoring.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了PointGrab的传感器可以帮助保持社交距离以及提高办公空间的可用性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“If businesses are to get workers back into the office, finding ways to keep social distancing will be key. An Israeli company thinks it can help, using smart sensors installed on workplace ceilings.（如果企业想让员工回到办公室，找到保持社交距离的方法将是关键。一家以色列公司认为它可以提供帮助，通过在工作场所天花板上安装智能传感器。）”可知，PointGrab开发了一种传感器来监控社交距离。故选C。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“About the size of a smoke alarm, the sensors can record the exact number and location of people in buildings including offices, hotels and restaurants.（类似于烟雾报警器的大小，传感器可以记录包括办公室、酒店和餐馆在内的建筑物中人员的确切数量和位置。）”可猜测，这项技术可以改善优化员工使用办公空间的方式，所以optimize指的是“改良、优化”的意思。D项“充分利用”符合以上说法。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“PointGrab's sensors were connected to screens in the building to show the availability of desks and shared areas in real time. PointGrab CEO Doron Shachar says it was one of a series of innovations that helped Deloitte fit 30% more people into 3% less space.（PointGrab的传感器被连接到大楼里的屏幕上，实时显示桌子和共享区域的可用性。PointGrab首席执行官多伦•沙查尔表示，这是帮助德勤在减少3%的空间中容纳30%以上人员的一系列创新之一。）”可推断，使用PointGrab产品将提高办公空间的可用性。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Workers might not like the idea of being monitored, but PointGrab says no images or identifying features are recorded. Instead, each employee is represented as an dot on a dashboard. “The sensor does not violate people s privacy,” Shachar says. “This is extremely important in the workspace.”（工作人员可能不喜欢被监控的想法，但PointGrab表示，没有任何图像或识别功能被记录下来。相反，每个员工都被表示为仪表板上的一个点。“传感器不会侵犯人们的隐私，”沙哈尔说。“这在工作空间中是极其重要的。”）”可知，工作人员的焦虑是他们的隐私将被曝光。故选A。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了作者和朋友上周去广州乘坐地铁的经历。
【详解】1.考查形容词。句意：我们对这次旅行感到非常兴奋。此处主语为We，应用-ed结尾形容词excited，作表语，表示“感到兴奋的”；exciting表示“令人兴奋的”用于修饰物。故exciting 改为excited。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意：我们花了三个小时才到广州火车站。表示“做某事花费某人多少时间”句型为it takes/took sb. to do sth.。故hours后加to。
3.考查宾语从句。句意：一开始，我们对如何走出火车站感到困惑。此处为“特殊疑问词+不定式”结构，表示“如何”应用how。故what 改为 how。
4.考查代词。句意：然后我们看到一个大标志，告诉我们去哪里乘地铁。结合后文“showed us”可知，此处指“我们看到”应用代词we。故they 改为we。
5.考查定语从句。句意：然后我们看到一个大标志，告诉我们去哪里乘地铁。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词sign，且先行词在从句中作主语，指物，故应用关系代词which，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故that改为 which。
6.考查形容词。句意：当我们到达地铁站时，一幅巨大的画面展现在我们面前，我们很快就找到了路。修饰后文名词picture，应用形容词large，作定语。故largely改为 large。
7.考查固定短语。句意：当我们到达地铁站时，一幅巨大的画面展现在我们面前，我们很快就找到了路。结合句意表示“在……前面”应用in front of；in the front of表示“在内部空间的前部”不符合语境。故删除front前的the。
8.考查动词时态。句意：当我们在地铁上的时候，我们从来没想到它跑得这么快。结合文章内容可知事情发生在过去，应用一般过去时。故think 改为thought。
9.考查名词的数。句意：我们只花了十分钟到达目的地，很快就找到旅馆了。minute为可数名词，由ten修饰应用复数形式。故minute 改为minutes。
10.考查连词。句意：我们只花了十分钟到达目的地，很快就找到旅馆了。结合前后文语境可知，此处为承接关系，应用连词and。故but 改为 and。

Dear Sir or Madam,

Yours sincerely
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction about the Oxford Dictionary I bought from your online store two weeks ago.
It arrived yesterday. However, when I checked it, I found it poorly printed. In addition, some pages are slightly damaged and even some are missing. Needless to say, the price of the dictionary is a little higher than that in our local bookstores.
Now this problem keeps worrying me. Frankly speaking, this is the worst shopping experience I have ever had. Can you change a new one for me as soon as possible? Please tell me how I can send this dictionary back to you. Thanks for your consideration.
Yours,
Li Hua
