B
As a child, I was prud f my suthern rigin. My wn vice reflected my family’s past and present-part nrthern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all suthern. There was n sund I lved mre than my grandmther’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While grwing up, I began t realize utside f ur regin, sutherners were ften dismissed as uncultured and ignrant. I was ready t leave behind my tiny twn in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in sme far-ff cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbl f everything I thught I hated abut my life in the rural Suth. I feared it wuld disqualify me frm being a nted magazine writer. I wuld have t talk less “cuntry”. S I killed a piece f myself. I’m ashamed f it, but I’m mre ashamed that I tried t kill that part f smene else-change Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in cllege. She was determined t wrk fr the student newspaper, which was where I spent mst f my waking hurs, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her rts. Early in ur friendship, her mther asked where I was frm, assuming it was smewhere up nrth. Then I felt my effrts paid ff and even wanted t ignre the mistake.
Emily is tw years yunger and she cared abut my pinin. I advised her t be mre like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that thrughut ur cllege years, ften by making fun f her vwel (元音) sunds. I tld myself I was helping her achieve her dream f wrking as a reprter. Nw, I see that it was actually abut justifying my hiding part f myself.
Grandma Carlyn used t tell me, “Girl, dn’t frget where yu cme frm.” Nw I truly understand that. Many things have faded frm memry, but this sticks in my mind with uncmfrtable clarity. Nw that I am grwn and have left the Suth, it’s imprtant t me.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者因为别人偏见以及追求更好的生活改变自己的口音,但后来才意识到这样做抹杀了自己身份的一部分,也明白了要坚守本根。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“While grwing up, I began t realize utside f ur regin, sutherners were ften dismissed as uncultured and ignrant. I was ready t leave behind my tiny twn in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in sme far-ff cities.(在成长过程中,我开始意识到,在我们的地区之外,南方人经常被认为是没有文化和无知的。我准备离开我在西田纳西州的小镇,开始新的生活,并在一些遥远的城市抓住大好机会)”可知,作者决定离开南部的家乡是因为其他人认为南方人没文化、无知,即外部对南方人的偏见。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Early in ur friendship, her mther asked where I was frm, assuming it was smewhere up nrth. Then I felt my effrts paid ff and even wanted t ignre the mistake.(在我们的友谊之初,她妈妈问我来自哪里,以为是北方的某个地方。然后我觉得我的努力得到了回报,甚至想忽略这个错误)”推知,当被Emily的妈妈误会来自北方时,作者是非常开心的。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“I feared it wuld disqualify me frm being a nted magazine writer. I wuld have t talk less “cuntry”. S I killed a piece f myself. (我担心这会使我失去成为著名杂志作家的资格。我就得少说些“乡村”了。所以我抹杀了自己身份的一部分)”,第三段的“She was determined t wrk fr the student newspaper, which was where I spent mst f my waking hurs(她决心为校报工作,而我醒着的大部分时间都在那里度过的)”以及倒数第二段的“I advised her t be mre like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that thrughut ur cllege years, ften by making fun f her vwel (元音) sunds. I tld myself I was helping her achieve her dream f wrking as a reprter. (我建议她更像我,隐藏她标志性的曼彻斯特口音。在我们的大学生活中,我经常通过取笑她的元音来强调这一点。我告诉自己,我是在帮她实现当记者的梦想)”可知,作者通过改变自己的口音获得了在校报工作的机会。由此推知,作者努力改变Emily的口音是为了证明自己是对的,即改变南方口音就有可能获得好工作。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并结合第二段的“I’m ashamed f it, but I’m mre ashamed that I tried t kill that part f smene else-change Emily’s accent.(我很惭愧,但我更惭愧的是我试图抹杀别人的那部分——改变艾米丽的口音)”和最后一段“Grandma Carlyn used t tell me, “Girl, dn’t frget where yu cme frm.” Nw I truly understand that. Many things have faded frm memry, but this sticks in my mind with uncmfrtable clarity. (卡罗琳奶奶过去常对我说:“女孩,别忘了你来自哪里。”现在我真的明白了。许多事情已经从记忆中消失了,但这件事却以令人不安的清晰印象留在了我的脑海中)”可知,文章想要传达的信息是:坚守本根。故选A。
C
We knw that China is the largest and fastest-grwing cnsumer market in the wrld. What is less well understd are the frces that shape cnsumerism in the wrld’s mst ppulus cuntry. In my view, there are sme scial and cultural aspects at play that drive cnsumer spending.
Cnsumerism is related t freedm. T have a chice means t have cnsumer chice. Yu are what yu cnsume. Cnsumptin is an expressin f self. It allws yu t explre the wrld thrugh its prducts, t experiment with lifestyle chices, and t d s safely and annymusly(匿名). Yu might never get t France, but yu can try French wine. Califrnia might be far, but yu can g t Shanghai Disneyland. Indeed, the enthusiasm fr chice is reflected in the enthusiasm Chinese cnsumers have fr nline shpping.
Cnsumerism is a statement f success. American ecnmist Thrstein Veblen ppularized the cncept f “cnspicuus cnsumptin”. When cnsumptin is n lnger driven nly by need, it becmes a way f making a statement that yu have dispsable(可自由支配的)incme and yu can ---at least in certain respects---enjy life n yur terms. Simple pleasures---a pair f shes, a smartphne, designer clthing --- becme statements f persnal identity.
The cllective experience is fcused. We like participating in grup events. FOMO, the Fear f Missing Out, ges beynd cultures. But I suspect this trend is strnger in China than in the West because Cnfucian culture des nt celebrate utsiders as the West’s culture des. Scial media reinfrce(强化)this cllective pattern s that shpping and dining are shared experiences. Opinins are crwd-surced. And the merchants reinfrce this pattern by supprting hliday sales, grup buying, and ther prmtins.
Successful brands in China are able t handle mst r all f the abve cnsideratins. The cnsumer must nt nly be delighted with yur prduct. The jurney f the cnsumer must als respect these sci-cultural aspects.
8. What’s mainly talked abut in the passage?
A. Chinese are grwing wealthier.
B. China’s fast-grwing market ecnmy.
C. Chinese sci-cultural influences n cnsumerism.
D. Chinese cnsumers’ preference fr quality rather than quantity.
9 What des Paragraph 2 fcus n ?
A. Shpping nline is a new experience.
B. Cnsumptin can be a reflectin f freedm.
C. Freign prducts can be purchased in China.
D. Shpping arund the wrld is a favrable chice.
10. What d the underlined wrds “cnspicuus cnsumptin” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. The ability t cver ne’s real need in daily life.
B. Spending mney in rder t keep up with thers.
C. The purchase f expensive items t display status.
D. Buying plenty f gds and delivering them t thers.
11. Why des the authr suspect FOMO is strnger in China?
A. Scial media play a bigger rle in their lives.
B. Fllwing the trend is what peple like better.
C. Chinese peple have less cntact with the strangers.
D. Cnfucian culture is less likely t appreciate utsiders.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文,主要讲述了中国社会文化对消费主义的影响。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段提出“there are sme scial and cultural aspects at play that drive cnsumer spending.”一些社会和文化因素在推动消费者消费。第二段提出“Cnsumerism is related t freedm. ”消费和自由相关。第三段说“Cnsumerism is a statement f success.”消费主义是成功的象征。第四段说“The cllective experience is fcused. ”消费是集体经验的体现。最后一段说“Successful brands in China are able t handle mst r all f the abve cnsideratins. ”在中国成功的品牌能够处理以上大部分或全部的考虑。可知文章主要讲述了,在中国,哪几个社会和文化因素推动中国的消费支出,即中国社会文化对消费主义的影响。故选C项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Cnsumptin is an expressin f self. It allws yu t explre the wrld thrugh its prducts, t experiment with lifestyle chices, and t d s safely and annymusly”消费是一种自我的表达。它让你可以通过它的产品来探索世界,体验生活方式的选择,而且是安全和匿名的。可知,第二段强调消费与自由的关系,消费是自我的表现,通过消费,人们能够得到自由,所以本段主要讲消费可以是自由的反映,故选B项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线部分后文“When cnsumptin is n lnger driven nly by need, it becmes a way f making a statement that yu have dispsable(可自由支配的)incme and yu can ---at least in certain respects---enjy life n yur terms. Simple pleasures---a pair f shes, a smartphne, designer clthing --- becme statements f persnal identity.”当消费不再仅仅由需求驱动时,它就变成了一种声明,表明你有可支配收入,你可以—至少在某些方面—按自己的方式享受生活。一双鞋、一部智能手机、一件设计师设计的服装,这些简单的快乐成为了个人身份的证明。可知,消费不再仅仅是由需求驱动时,消费就成了一种成功的象征,因此cnspicuus cnsumptin指的是购买昂贵物品以获得个人身份,故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“We like participating in grup events. FOMO, the Fear f Missing Out, ges beynd cultures. But I suspect this trend is strnger in China than in the West because Cnfucian culture des nt celebrate utsiders as the West’s culture des.”我们喜欢参加集体活动。“错失恐惧症”指的是害怕错过,它超越了文化层面。但我怀疑这种趋势在中国比在西方更强烈,因为儒家文化不像西方文化那样赞美外来者。可知FOMO这种趋势在中国很强烈,是因为儒家文化不太可能欣赏外来者,故选D项。
D
Fr generatins, depressin has been seen as an illness, disrder r even weakness. Such an idea makes sense because depressin causes suffering and even death. But what if we’ve gt it all wrng?
The cmmn wisdm is that depressin starts in the mind with abnrmal thinking. That leads t symptms like headaches, stmachaches, r tiredness. Nw, mdels like the Plyvagal Thery suggest that we’ve gt it backward. It’s the bdy that detects danger and initiates a defense strategy meant t help us survive. That bilgical strategy is called immbilizatin, and it demnstrates in the mind and the bdy with a set f symptms we call depressin.
When we think f depressin as unnecessary suffering, we are telling peple with depressin that they are nt part f the grup, they are nt right and they dn’ t belng. That rbs them f hpe. But when we begin t understand that depressin, at least initially, happens fr a gd reasn we lift the shame. Instead, peple with depressin are curageus survivrs, nt damaged sick peple.
The autnmic nervus system (ANS) is cnstantly scanning ur internal and external envirnment fr signs f danger. If ur ANS detects a threat r even a simple lack f safety, its next strategy is the fight r flight respnse, which we ften feel as anxiety. Smetimes the threat is s bad r ges n fr s lng, that the nervus system decides there is n way t fight r t flee. At that pint, there is nly ne ptin left: immbilizatin.
The immbilizatin respnse is the riginal bilgical defense in higher animals. It dulls pain and makes us feel discnnected. Think f sme reptiles (爬行动物), which shut dwn their bdies t avid cld temperatures and the lack f fd and water. In humans, peple ften describe feeling “ut f their bdies" during extremely unpleasant events, which has a defensive effect f reducing the emtinal shck. This is imprtant because sme things are s terrible, we dn’t want peple t be fully present when they happen. What incredible capacity f ur bilgy t find a way in hard times!
12. Why des the authr mentin the Plyvagal Thery?
A. T ffer a standard fr identifying depressin.
B. T raise peple’s awareness f mental prblems.
C. T make sense f hw depressin affects peple.
D. T crrect a cmmnly held idea abut depressin.
13. What can we infer frm paragraph 3?
A. Depressin can bring peple in crisis hpe.
B. Peple may feel it wrng t have depressin.
C. Depressin is an unnecessary human emtin.
D. Peple ften feel prud f fighting depressin.
14. What is “immbilizatin” in the text?
A. Building up anxiety.B. Fighting fr a crisis.
C. Shutting dwn actin.D. Thinking abnrmal.
15. In which rder des ur bdy react t an extremely unpleasant situatin?
①seek t wrk ut slutins
②becme aware f a threat
③suffer emtinal shck
④start defensive discnnectin
A. ②③④①B. ④②①③C. ②①③④D. ④①②③
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了抑郁症并非如大多人所想的那样是给人带来痛苦的,相反它是一种自我保护机制。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一到第四句话“The cmmn wisdm is that depressin starts in the mind with abnrmal thinking. That leads t symptms like headaches, stmachaches, r tiredness. Nw, mdels like the Plyvagal Thery suggest that we’ve gt it backward. It’s the bdy that detects danger and initiates a defense strategy meant t help us survive.(人们普遍认为,抑郁症始于思维异常。这会导致头痛、胃痛或疲劳等症状。现在,像多迷走神经理论这样的模型表明,我们把它弄反了。正是身体察觉到危险并启动防御策略以帮助我们生存)”可知,在文章提到多迷走神经理论是为了证明我们将抑郁症理解反了,所以这个理论是用来纠正我们对抑郁症的既有观点。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一、二句话“When we think f depressin as unnecessary suffering, we are telling peple with depressin that they are nt part f the grup, they are nt right and they dn’ t belng. That rbs them f hpe.(当我们认为抑郁症是不必要的痛苦时,我们是在告诉抑郁症患者,他们不是这个群体的一部分,他们是不对的,他们不属于这个群体。这剥夺了他们的希望)”可推知,人们通常认为得抑郁症是一件不好的事情,认为得抑郁症的人不属于群体的一部分,而且他们是不对的。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测的。根据最后一段第二句话“It dulls pain and makes us feel discnnected. Think f sme reptiles (爬行动物), which shut dwn their bdies t avid cld temperatures and the lack f fd and water.(它减轻了疼痛,让我们感到脱节。想想一些爬行动物,它们关闭自己的身体以避免寒冷的温度和缺乏食物和水)”可知,动物们关闭身体是为了保护自己,避免寒冷的温度和缺乏食物和水。这是一种保护机制。所以停止行动是高等动物最初的生物防御。所以“immbilizatin”的意思是“停止行动”。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第二句话到最后“If ur ANS detects a threat r even a simple lack f safety, its next strategy is the fight r flight respnse, which we ften feel as anxiety. Smetimes the threat is s bad r ges n fr s lng, that the nervus system decides there is n way t fight r t flee. At that pint, there is nly ne ptin left: immbilizatin.(如果我们的ANS检测到威胁,甚至是简单的缺乏安全性,它的下一个策略是要么战斗要么逃跑的反应,我们通常会感到焦虑。有时威胁如此严重或持续如此之久,以至于神经系统决定没有办法战斗或逃跑。在这一点上,只剩下一个选择:防御断开)”可知,我们的身体对一个极其不愉快的情况的反应顺序是①检测到威胁②下一个策略就是战斗或逃跑反应(寻求解决办法)③感受到情绪冲击④启动防御断开。故选C。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Can yu tell the difference between a glass f regular and diet sda? N, yu can’t. ___16___. That’s where the truble starts. Until recently, everything we have eaten cntains sme amunt f calries.

【答案】16. A 17. D 18. F 19. G 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了无糖汽水对健康的影响。
【16题详解】
根据空前“Can yu tell the difference between a glass f regular and diet sda? N, yu can’t. (你能分辨一杯普通汽水和无糖汽水的区别吗?不,你不能。)”可知,我们并不能分辨普通汽水和无糖汽水的区别。选项A“As it turns ut, neither can yur bdy. (事实证明,你的身体也不能。)”延续上文内容,指的是我们的身体也无法分辨普通汽水和无糖汽水。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据空后内容“It’s called metablic syndrme, which is a mix f cnditins that include increased bld pressure, high bld sugar and weight gain which can increase the risk f diabetes, heart disease and strkes. (它被称为代谢综合征,是一种包括血压升高、高血糖和体重增加在内的多种疾病的混合体,这些疾病会增加患糖尿病、心脏病和中风的风险。)”可知,下文主要介绍了与之相关的疾病。选项D“Drinking diet sda is assciated with a disease (饮用无糖汽水与疾病相关联)”与下文内容一致,指的是饮用无糖汽水会导致疾病。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据上文“While drinking diet sda with the meal may sund like a tasty calriefree alternative t plain water, this may be the wrst time t drink it because the cheating calries in the diet sda culd finally destry the real calries we metablize. (虽然在吃饭时喝无糖汽水听起来像是一种美味的无卡路里的白开水替代品,但这可能是最糟糕的饮用时间,因为无糖汽水中的欺骗卡路里最终会破坏我们代谢的真正卡路里。)”可知,无糖汽水中的卡路里会破坏我们代谢的真正卡路里。选项F“And it ptentially leaves extra calries behind which we then stre as fat (它可能会留下额外的卡路里,然后我们将其储存为脂肪)”是上文内容的自然延续,指的是无糖汽水会留下额外的卡路里,然后将其存为脂肪。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据空前“Anther prblem culd be the fact that artificial sweeteners in diet sda can be 10 t 100 times sweeter than sugar. (另一个问题可能是无糖汽水中的人造甜味剂比糖甜10到100倍。)”可知,无糖汽水中的人造甜味剂比糖甜10到100倍。而根据空后所举例子“It’s like when yu g t a party expecting lads f fd and yu end up with a handful f vegetables. Yu’re left unsatisfied and hungry. (这就像你去参加一个派对,期待着有很多食物,结果却只有一把蔬菜。你会感到不满足和饥饿。)”可知,当期待有很多食物时,只有蔬菜你就会感到不满足。选项G“S when we taste it, ur brains expect mre calries than what we give it (所以当我们品尝它的时候,我们的大脑期望比我们提供的更多的卡路里)”与上文内容相结合,指的正是品尝无糖汽水时,因为没有达到我们的期待,我们会希望更多。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据空前“In the same way, artificial sweeteners can leave ur brains wanting mre, which leads t increased appetite and ptential weight gain. (同样,人造甜味剂会让我们的大脑想要更多,从而导致食欲增加和潜在的体重增加。)”可知,人造甜味剂会让我们增加体重。选项E“S if yu’re drinking diet sda t drp a few punds (所以如果你喝无糖汽水是为了减几磅)”与主句“maybe just stick t water. (也许只喝水)”相一致,指的是无糖汽水无法让我们减肥,想减肥还不如喝水。故选E。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了沙特高昂的婚礼费用让年轻人倍感压力,政府决定限制婚礼规模,以减少年轻人的花费。
【36题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:男人和女人分别聚集在不同的厅里,使一些价格翻倍。分析句子结构可知,duble不是谓语动词,它与“Men and wmen gather in separate halls”之间为主动关系,因此使用现在分词作结果状语,故填dubling。
【37题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:那些没有离婚的夫妻背上了债务。根据上一句中的end可知,本句的谓语动词使用一般现在时,thse为复数意义,固定短语be burned with意为“受……所累,负担……”,故填are burdened。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:因此,许多夫妇欢迎与新型冠状病毒肺炎一起出现的这些限制。此处需要填入名词,需要的词义为“限制”,前有these修饰,名词应该使用复数形式,故填restrictins。
【39题详解】
考查比较级。句意:2020年,沙特阿拉伯将聚会限制在50人或更少,因此夫妇可以缩小婚礼规模而不会丢面子。根据“dwnsize their weddings”可知,官方使聚会的人数变少,few使用比较级,故填fewer。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:2020年,沙特阿拉伯将聚会限制在50人或更少,因此夫妇可以缩小婚礼规模而不会丢面子。分析句子结构可知,空格处应该填入介词,需要的词义为“不……”,故填withut。
【41题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:他们选择了一些共享厅而不是舞厅。分析句子结构可知,share在句子中不作为谓语动词使用,halls承受share的动作,因此使用过去分词作定语,故填shared。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:总的来说,一对沙特夫妇在婚礼上可能花费了减少90%的预算。cuple为可数名词,Saudi是以辅音音素开头的单词,因此使用不定冠词a,故填a。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:来自吉达的律师Bayan Zahran说,“女孩总是梦想着五星级的婚姻,但新型冠状病毒肺炎使我们更加务实”。此处使用形容词作宾语补足语,需要的词义为“务实的”,故填practical。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:一些夫妇选择了一个简单的聚会,这对双方来说都没有什么压力。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,a simple party是先行词,它在从句中作主语,指物,因此使用which引导定语从句,故填which。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:不过(然而),他们仍然要应对来自家庭和同龄人的压力。此处使用副词作状语,需要的词义为“不过(thugh)”或“然而(hwever)”,故填thugh或hwever。

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了合理安排时间的重要性。老师给作者所在的班级布置了一项任务,作者只有两个晚上的时间来完成它,但她认为自己可以很快完成这项任务,所以第一天晚上根本没有做这个任务。她本打算第二天晚上完成,但却又因为去参加棒球训练和去朋友家装饰饼干耽误了时间。当作者返回家中,正打算完成这项任务时,又被打断了。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“就在我要开始的时候,爸爸说:“乔安娜,轮到你洗碗了。””可知,第一段可描写作者因为洗碗又耽误了时间及作者的感受。
②由第二段首句内容“看着我纸张上的大大的“F”,我开始反思我这些天所做的事情。”可知,第二段可描写作者对自己浪费时间的行为的反思及反思后的行动。
