I work at a grocery store in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood, which gets a lot of regulars. On March 12, the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic(流行病)of coronavirus.
The next day the store was the busiest I've ever seen. The six cash registers had to be kept open from 10 a. m. until close. It was nuts. I didn't have time to eat lunch, and whenever one of us on cash had to use the bathroom, we’d have to bring in a coworker off the floor to cover for us.
Since then, the atmosphere in the store has been different. Customers are mostly considerate, but whenever someone coughs or sneezes, everyone turns around to make sure that person sneezed into their elbow. I've even seen customers come in wearing some strange get-ups. One guy even came in with a plastic Walmart bag wrapped around his entire head, with a slit cut out for his eyes.
A lot of my coworkers have left to avoid a public-facing job during the pandemic. Grocery store workers across Canada are putting their health at risk every time they come in to work, but a lot of us are still making close to minimum wage. I realized that I feel more exhausted than normal even though I'm working the same hours.
There still have been some moments of kindness in the midst of the chaos. I've overheard people talking on the phone who sounded as though they were organizing grocery deliveries for those stuck at home. And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work. I know everyone is worried, but it's uneless having the same scary conversations day after day. Instead, tell us a funny anecdote, or about Homething nice. We'll appreciate the distraction, and you'll make our day just a bit brighter.
4. What does the author intend to show by " It was nuts." in paragraph 2?
A. The goods were in short supply.
B. The store was having a big sale.
C. The cashiers complained about their work.
D. The locals rushed to do shopping like crazy.
5. What does paragraph 3 convey about customers?
A. They like to shop here in disguise.
B. They are panicky about the disease .
C. They are more friendly to each other.
D. They have taken proper preventive measures.
6. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Optimistic. B. Talented. C. Ambitious. D. Efficient.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. It is not work but worry that kills
B. Helping others is helping ourselves
C. Moments of kindness shine in a time of chaos
D. Here is what it's like working in the pandemic
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D

【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。作者从一个杂货店员工的角度,讲述了新冠疫情爆发以来在店里目睹到的景象,有人们慌乱的反应,也有暖心的瞬间。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一、二句“The next day the store was the busiest I've ever seen. The six cash registers had to be kept open from 10 a. m. until close.”可知,商店当天顾客爆满,作者用这样的表达就是为了说明人们面对疫情惊慌失措、蜂拥而至前来购物的混乱场景。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Since then, the atmosphere in the store has been different.”可知,疫情爆发后,整个商店里的气氛都变了,结合本段给出的人们对咳嗽、打喷嚏的人很敏感以及用购物袋包住头部的人都不难看出,人们对于疫情是感到恐慌的。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句“There still have been some moments of kindness in the midst of the chaos.”和最后一句“We'll appreciate the distraction, and you'll make our day just a bit brighter.”可知,作者处在新冠疫情的紧张气氛下,还是比较冷静的,也能关注到发生的一些美好的事情,同时对关心自己的人表示感激,应该是比较积极乐观的。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“I work at a grocery store in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood, which gets a lot of regulars. On March 12, the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic(流行病)of coronavirus.”可知,作者身为杂货店的工作人员,本文讲述的就是新冠疫情下她在杂货店工作过程中的所见所闻,D选项“这就是在疫情下工作的样子”符合文章主要内容,适合作为标题。故选D项。
【点睛】阅读理解中主旨大意题是重难点题型之一,其中标题判断是较为常见的一个类型,要求在阅读并理解表面文字的基础上做出判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含意思和深层意思,也就是通过文章中的文字信息,上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等推断出作者索要表达的态度观点。为了能找出符合题意的一项,我们必须排除干扰项,一般干扰项包括以下几种类型:1.夸大事实型——对于原文中的细节或论断的某方面程度进行了夸大处理;2.无中生有型——捏造原文并不存在的信息;3.推理过头型——引申过度,使得结论过于绝对化。观察第4小题的其他三个选项:A选项“并非工作,而是忧虑才致命”属于引申过度,不符合文章主题;B选项“帮助他人就是帮助自己”属于无中生有,与文章内容联系不足;C选项“混乱时期的善良时刻”就属于以偏概全,过于片面。由此也可以通过排除确定正确答案。
C
Blue whales, the earth’s largest animals, call to others of their kind, though exactly what these cries communicate remains a mystery. But these sounds have begun evolving (演变). Since at least the 1960s, the pitch (音调) of Antarctic blue whales has downshifted. Scientists have theories as to why: all involving humans.
The deepening of their sounds is not unique. Many blue whales around the world have also dropped their pitch. In a study last year that analyzed more than 1 million individual recordings of whale calls, scale shifts were found across species, and among populations that don’t necessarily interact with one another. This is to say, whatever has caused the change doesn’t seem to have a specific geographic origin.
The underwater noises caused by ocean traffic and at-sea industries might seem a likely criminal. However, scientists have identified lowered pitches even across populations of whales that live in seas without major shipping routes.
One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts. As their populations have grown, then, the whales may have decreased their volume because they are more likely to be communicating over short distances.
Last year’s study of whale calls also suggests a threatening reason for the drop in pitch, however. Perhaps whales don't need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceans made acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, meanwhile, may also indirectly influence whale voices in other ways. Recent study shows that, during the summer, the whales must use their top volume to be heard in the cracking ice — a natural sound increased by unnatural processes, as rising temperatures worsen ice-melt. So the impacts of a warming planet may modulate animal sounds even in remote places.
8. To what extent is whales’ pitch drop?
A. Across the species.
B. In the Antarctic Ocean.
C. Among some populations.
D. Within one million individuals.
9. What causes the evolving of whales’ pitch according to the text?
A. Less communication and more threat.
B. Protection efforts and acidic sea water.
C. Sharp decrease of whales’ populations.
D. Underwater noises by ships and industries.
10. What does the underlined word “modulate” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Produce. B. Damage. C. Balance. D. Change.
11. What can we infer from the text?
A. Man is the soul of nature.
B. Man and nature are in one.
C. Nature pardons no mistakes .
D. Nature has the final say over man.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍蓝鲸的声调调低的几个原因,这些原因都涉及到了人类。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段第三句“In a study last year that analyzed more than 1 million individual recordings of whale calls, scale shifts were found across species, and among populations that don’t necessarily interact with one another.”可知,在去年一项分析了超过1百万条鲸鱼单独叫声记录的研究里,音阶变化在物种间以及种群中发现,这些种群相互之间并没有必要的沟通。由此可见,鲸鱼音调降低的情况到达了跨物种的程度。结合选项可知,选项A正确。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段第一句“One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts.”和第五段最后一句“Perhaps whales don’t need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceans made acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.”可知,对于这个变化的一个可能的解释是全球保护行动的成果。也许鲸鱼不需要如此大声因为由于对二氧化碳的吸收导致海水变酸,在酸性海水中声波可以传播的更远。由此可知,鲸鱼音调的进化是由全球保护行动和酸性海水造成的。结合选项可知,选项B正确。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。由最后一段第二句“Recent study shows that, during the summer, the whales must use their top volume to be heard in the cracking ice — a natural sound increased by unnatural processes, as rising temperatures worsen ice-melt.”可知,最近研究显示,在夏天期间,鲸鱼们为了能在破冰声中被听到,必须使用它们的高音,这种破冰声是一种由温度上升恶化冰川融化的反常过程增加的自然声音。由此可见,本句中的“the impacts of a warming planet”是对前一句的“这种破冰声是一种由温度上升恶化冰川融化的反常过程增加的自然声音”的概述,星球的变暖改变了鲸鱼声音,故单词modulate表示的是改变的意思。结合选项可知,选项D正确。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段第一句“One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts.”,第五段最后一句“Perhaps whales don’t need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceans made acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.”以及第六段最后一句“So the impacts of a warming planet may modulate animal sounds even in remote places.”可知,对于这个变化的一个可能的解释是全球保护行动的成果。也许鲸鱼不需要如此大声因为由于对二氧化碳的吸收导致海水变酸,在酸性海水中声波可以传播的更远。所以一个正在变暖的星球可以影响改变甚至在遥远地方的动物的声音。由此可判断,人类的保护行动,或者人类导致的二氧化碳温室效应都对动物有影响,人类和自然之间不是独立的。结合选项可知,选项B正确。
D
Those driving forward the movement of paying college athletes are forgetting the reason one goes to college: to get an education.
In an era struggling for competitive balance, how would the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) keep from giving schools like Kentucky and Alabama even more of a competitive advantage than schools like Valparaiso and Florida Gulf Coast? The issue gets complicated when taking into consideration how the salary difference between different teams gets decided.
Even worse, imagine athletes just coming to college for the money. We call college athletes amateurs. Oxford's definition of amateur is "a person who engages in a pursuit, especially a sport, on an unpaid basis." The keyword is unpaid. The history of the word "amateur" dates back to the French word "amator”, which means lover. Essentially, college athletes should be playing their sport for the love of the game, not the money that would be given to them.
Rules should not be made for the minority, and in this instance only two percent of athletes play professional sports. The expected career span of that two percent is 10 years, three and a half years in the National Football League (NFL). An astonishing 80 percent of retired NFL players go broke within three years of retirement, 60 percent in the NBA within five years. This is why the NCAA and its member institutions should apply a "stay and learn”, rule.
This rule should state that if athletes choose to come to college, they will get paid in scholarships that last the entire educational process and the athlete must stay in school until they earn a degree in the area of study they choose. That money from going professional is going to run out sometime, but the degree will always be there.
Look at college athletics for what it is and should always be a high-pressure learning environment and an avenue to earn an education. A much more fun extension of the classroom if you will. After all, they are called student-athletes.
12. How can the salary difference influence college teams?
A. It is likely to promote cooperation.
B. It can increase their independence.
C. It can lead to more communication.
D. It will probably cause more imbalance.
13. Why does the author give explanations to the word "amateur”?
A. To give an individual comment.
B. To confirm the origin of the word.
C. To make the point more authoritative.
D. To provide an example for the argument.
14. How will college athletes benefit from the "stay and learn” rule?
A. Increase their earnings.
B. Get trained for scholarships.
C. Ensure themselves to get a degree.
D. Continue their professional careers.
15. What does the author mainly argue about in the text?
A. For money or for career?
B. A college education or not?
C. Going professional or being amateur?
D. To pay or not to pay college athletes?
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。作者在文中主要讨论了该不该给大学生运动员支付费用。一方面作者认为给他们付费用会导致不平衡,他们毕竟是业余运动员;另一方面,可以给他们支付大学期间的奖学金,直到他们获得学位。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的In an era struggling for competitive balance, how would the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) keep from giving schools like Kentucky and Alabama even more of a competitive advantage than schools like Valparaiso and Florida Gulf Coast? The issue gets complicated when taking into consideration how the salary difference between different teams gets decided. (在一个竞争平衡的时代,美国大学体育协会如何才能避免让肯塔基州和阿拉巴马州的学校比瓦尔帕莱索和弗罗里达海湾沿岸的学校拥有更多的竞争优势呢?当考虑到如何决定不同团队之间的工资差异时,问题就变得更复杂了)可知,为大学运动员提供费用是一种打破竞争平衡的行为,然而大学运动员费用的差异会造成更多不平衡。D. It will probably cause more imbalance.(它可能会造成更多的不平衡)符合以上说法,故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的The keyword is unpaid. The history of the word "amateur" dates back to the French word "amator", which means lover. Essentially, college athletes should be playing their sport for the love of the game, not the money that would be given to them.(关键词是免费。“业余”一词的历史可以追溯到法语单词amator,意思是喜爱者。从本质上讲,大学运动员应该是处于对运动的热爱而从事这项运动,而不是为了得到这笔钱)可推测,作者用划线词解释amateur是为了从语言权威的角度再次明确“业余”的意思是出于爱。C. To make the point more authoritative.(为了让这个说法更具权威性)符合以上说法,故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的This rule should state that if athletes choose to come to college, they will get paid in scholarships that last the entire educational process and the athlete must stay in school until they earn a degree in the area of study they choose. (这项规定应该这样规定:如果运动员选择上大学,他们将获得持续整个教育过程的奖学金,而且运动员必须留在学校,直到他们在自己选择的专业获得学位)可知,"stay and learn"政策确保运动员获得一个学位,并在期间给他们提供奖学金。C. Ensure themselves to get a degree.(确保他们自己获得学位)符合以上说法,故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其是第二段的The issue gets complicated when taking into consideration how the salary difference between different teams gets decided.(当考虑到如何决定不同团队之间的工资差异时,问题就变得更复杂了),第三段的Essentially, college athletes should be playing their sport for the love of the game, not the money that would be given to them.( 从本质上讲,大学运动员应该是处于对运动的热爱而从事这项运动,而不是为了得到这笔钱)和倒数第二段This rule should state that if athletes choose to come to college, they will get paid in scholarships that last the entire educational process and the athlete must stay in school until they earn a degree in the area of study they choose.

To pay or not to pay college athletes?(给不给大学生运动员支付费用)符合以上说法,故选D项。

47.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。 续写的词数应为150左右。
I received an urgent call from my aunt. " Turn on the TV. Granny's on the Channel 10 news. " It turned out that Granny had made a sandwich run for her office and was stopped at a red light downtown. She had the window rolled down to enjoy the breeze when a man rushed up to the driver's side window, intending to carjack(劫车)her.
Now, what the would-be carjacker couldn't have known was that this woman simply wasn't " a granny" . This was Nancy Johnson — the same woman who owned and lived on a Texas cattle farm, drove her own tractors, and dug her own post holes to lay fence. The week before, she had shot a rattlesnake and chopped off its head with a shovel . She was the proud owner of the new minivan(小型货车)she was driving. In other words, she was not your normal kind of granny.
The carjacker leaned into the open window, one hand stuffed in his pocket, and said, " Get out of this car. I have a gun, and I will shoot you.” A statement like that would have terrified anyone else. Instead, Granny saw it as a challenge." If you really had a gun in your pocket, you would've pulled it out and led with that first," she shouted at him, apparently unworried.
She was right. The criminal didn't have a gun. He instead reached into the window, grabbed her, and tried to pull her out of the van. He pulled open the door, wildly catching Granny's arms. Granny leaned her shoulder inside to press the horn(喇叭) and started yelling to make people around notice what was happening. With the door now open, she held tight the steering wheel with one arm and started kicking the man anywhere her foot could make contact. This tall woman had quite a reach.
【答案】After a well-placed kick, the man was done, and attempted to release her and run. But Granny wouldn’t stand for that. It was now her turn to grab onto him, her hands made strong from hours and hours of farm work. That poor fool didn’t have a chance. She shouted for help to bystanders, and they rushed to her aid. With Granny leading the charge, a group of strangers came together and pinned the man to the sidewalk, holding him there until the police came. A silver-haired woman had just made a citizen’s arrest.
Later, we asked “Granny, don’t you realize you could have got yourself hilled?” Granny’s answer was surprisingly amusing and simple: “I wasn’t scared of that little idiot. I’d had my brand-new van for less than two days and a pack of good sandwiches for my office. And there was no way he was going to get either of those!” But we all learned an important lesson from her that day- the same lesson that had been building through the years. She encouraged us to push boundaries and expectations. But even more so, she taught us fearlessness.
【解析】

本文是一篇读后续写。
【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知,作者的奶奶开车上街。在停车等红绿灯的时候遇到了拦路抢劫犯。作者的奶奶没有被吓到,反而在路上和抢劫犯做斗争。抓住了抢劫犯,并因此上了电视。续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:在踢了一脚后,这名男子被击倒,并试图放开她并逃跑……,所以这一段应该写歹徒试图逃跑而奶奶伙同其他人制服歹徒,并因此上了电视。要详细写奶奶是如何抓住那个歹徒的。第二段开头是:后来,我们问:“奶奶,难道你没有意识到你会被人盯上吗?” 本段应该写奶奶不畏惧任何坏人。并且通过奶奶的事迹,教会了我们一些人身哲理:我们要无所畏惧。
续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度,我们要熟悉所给划线词语,恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右;续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】文章思路清晰,语言规范,段落整齐,语篇连贯,层次清晰。使用了较为高级的句式:with的复合结构With Granny leading the charge, a group of strangers came together and pinned the man to the sidewalk, holding him there until the police came;定语从句:But we all learned an important lesson from her that day- the same lesson that had been building through the years等。高级句式的应用提升了写作的档次,整个短文显示出了作者高水平的英语表达能力。

I work at a grocery store in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood, which gets a lot of regulars. On March 12, the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic(流行病)of coronavirus.
The next day the store was the busiest I've ever seen. The six cash registers had to be kept open from 10 a. m. until close. It was nuts. I didn't have time to eat lunch, and whenever one of us on cash had to use the bathroom, we’d have to bring in a coworker off the floor to cover for us.
Since then, the atmosphere in the store has been different. Customers are mostly considerate, but whenever someone coughs or sneezes, everyone turns around to make sure that person sneezed into their elbow. I've even seen customers come in wearing some strange get-ups. One guy even came in with a plastic Walmart bag wrapped around his entire head, with a slit cut out for his eyes.
A lot of my coworkers have left to avoid a public-facing job during the pandemic. Grocery store workers across Canada are putting their health at risk every time they come in to work, but a lot of us are still making close to minimum wage. I realized that I feel more exhausted than normal even though I'm working the same hours.
There still have been some moments of kindness in the midst of the chaos. I've overheard people talking on the phone who sounded as though they were organizing grocery deliveries for those stuck at home. And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work. I know everyone is worried, but it's uneless having the same scary conversations day after day. Instead, tell us a funny anecdote, or about Homething nice. We'll appreciate the distraction, and you'll make our day just a bit brighter.
4. What does the author intend to show by " It was nuts." in paragraph 2?
A. The goods were in short supply.
B. The store was having a big sale.
C. The cashiers complained about their work.
D. The locals rushed to do shopping like crazy.
5. What does paragraph 3 convey about customers?
A. They like to shop here in disguise.
B. They are panicky about the disease .
C. They are more friendly to each other.
D. They have taken proper preventive measures.
6. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Optimistic. B. Talented. C. Ambitious. D. Efficient.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. It is not work but worry that kills
B. Helping others is helping ourselves
C. Moments of kindness shine in a time of chaos
D. Here is what it's like working in the pandemic
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D

【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。作者从一个杂货店员工的角度,讲述了新冠疫情爆发以来在店里目睹到的景象,有人们慌乱的反应,也有暖心的瞬间。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一、二句“The next day the store was the busiest I've ever seen. The six cash registers had to be kept open from 10 a. m. until close.”可知,商店当天顾客爆满,作者用这样的表达就是为了说明人们面对疫情惊慌失措、蜂拥而至前来购物的混乱场景。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Since then, the atmosphere in the store has been different.”可知,疫情爆发后,整个商店里的气氛都变了,结合本段给出的人们对咳嗽、打喷嚏的人很敏感以及用购物袋包住头部的人都不难看出,人们对于疫情是感到恐慌的。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句“There still have been some moments of kindness in the midst of the chaos.”和最后一句“We'll appreciate the distraction, and you'll make our day just a bit brighter.”可知,作者处在新冠疫情的紧张气氛下,还是比较冷静的,也能关注到发生的一些美好的事情,同时对关心自己的人表示感激,应该是比较积极乐观的。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“I work at a grocery store in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood, which gets a lot of regulars. On March 12, the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic(流行病)of coronavirus.”可知,作者身为杂货店的工作人员,本文讲述的就是新冠疫情下她在杂货店工作过程中的所见所闻,D选项“这就是在疫情下工作的样子”符合文章主要内容,适合作为标题。故选D项。
【点睛】阅读理解中主旨大意题是重难点题型之一,其中标题判断是较为常见的一个类型,要求在阅读并理解表面文字的基础上做出判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含意思和深层意思,也就是通过文章中的文字信息,上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等推断出作者索要表达的态度观点。为了能找出符合题意的一项,我们必须排除干扰项,一般干扰项包括以下几种类型:1.夸大事实型——对于原文中的细节或论断的某方面程度进行了夸大处理;2.无中生有型——捏造原文并不存在的信息;3.推理过头型——引申过度,使得结论过于绝对化。观察第4小题的其他三个选项:A选项“并非工作,而是忧虑才致命”属于引申过度,不符合文章主题;B选项“帮助他人就是帮助自己”属于无中生有,与文章内容联系不足;C选项“混乱时期的善良时刻”就属于以偏概全,过于片面。由此也可以通过排除确定正确答案。
C
Blue whales, the earth’s largest animals, call to others of their kind, though exactly what these cries communicate remains a mystery. But these sounds have begun evolving (演变). Since at least the 1960s, the pitch (音调) of Antarctic blue whales has downshifted. Scientists have theories as to why: all involving humans.
The deepening of their sounds is not unique. Many blue whales around the world have also dropped their pitch. In a study last year that analyzed more than 1 million individual recordings of whale calls, scale shifts were found across species, and among populations that don’t necessarily interact with one another. This is to say, whatever has caused the change doesn’t seem to have a specific geographic origin.
The underwater noises caused by ocean traffic and at-sea industries might seem a likely criminal. However, scientists have identified lowered pitches even across populations of whales that live in seas without major shipping routes.
One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts. As their populations have grown, then, the whales may have decreased their volume because they are more likely to be communicating over short distances.
Last year’s study of whale calls also suggests a threatening reason for the drop in pitch, however. Perhaps whales don't need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceans made acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, meanwhile, may also indirectly influence whale voices in other ways. Recent study shows that, during the summer, the whales must use their top volume to be heard in the cracking ice — a natural sound increased by unnatural processes, as rising temperatures worsen ice-melt. So the impacts of a warming planet may modulate animal sounds even in remote places.
8. To what extent is whales’ pitch drop?
A. Across the species.
B. In the Antarctic Ocean.
C. Among some populations.
D. Within one million individuals.
9. What causes the evolving of whales’ pitch according to the text?
A. Less communication and more threat.
B. Protection efforts and acidic sea water.
C. Sharp decrease of whales’ populations.
D. Underwater noises by ships and industries.
10. What does the underlined word “modulate” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Produce. B. Damage. C. Balance. D. Change.
11. What can we infer from the text?
A. Man is the soul of nature.
B. Man and nature are in one.
C. Nature pardons no mistakes .
D. Nature has the final say over man.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍蓝鲸的声调调低的几个原因,这些原因都涉及到了人类。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段第三句“In a study last year that analyzed more than 1 million individual recordings of whale calls, scale shifts were found across species, and among populations that don’t necessarily interact with one another.”可知,在去年一项分析了超过1百万条鲸鱼单独叫声记录的研究里,音阶变化在物种间以及种群中发现,这些种群相互之间并没有必要的沟通。由此可见,鲸鱼音调降低的情况到达了跨物种的程度。结合选项可知,选项A正确。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段第一句“One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts.”和第五段最后一句“Perhaps whales don’t need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceans made acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.”可知,对于这个变化的一个可能的解释是全球保护行动的成果。也许鲸鱼不需要如此大声因为由于对二氧化碳的吸收导致海水变酸,在酸性海水中声波可以传播的更远。由此可知,鲸鱼音调的进化是由全球保护行动和酸性海水造成的。结合选项可知,选项B正确。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。由最后一段第二句“Recent study shows that, during the summer, the whales must use their top volume to be heard in the cracking ice — a natural sound increased by unnatural processes, as rising temperatures worsen ice-melt.”可知,最近研究显示,在夏天期间,鲸鱼们为了能在破冰声中被听到,必须使用它们的高音,这种破冰声是一种由温度上升恶化冰川融化的反常过程增加的自然声音。由此可见,本句中的“the impacts of a warming planet”是对前一句的“这种破冰声是一种由温度上升恶化冰川融化的反常过程增加的自然声音”的概述,星球的变暖改变了鲸鱼声音,故单词modulate表示的是改变的意思。结合选项可知,选项D正确。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段第一句“One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts.”,第五段最后一句“Perhaps whales don’t need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceans made acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.”以及第六段最后一句“So the impacts of a warming planet may modulate animal sounds even in remote places.”可知,对于这个变化的一个可能的解释是全球保护行动的成果。也许鲸鱼不需要如此大声因为由于对二氧化碳的吸收导致海水变酸,在酸性海水中声波可以传播的更远。所以一个正在变暖的星球可以影响改变甚至在遥远地方的动物的声音。由此可判断,人类的保护行动,或者人类导致的二氧化碳温室效应都对动物有影响,人类和自然之间不是独立的。结合选项可知,选项B正确。
D
Those driving forward the movement of paying college athletes are forgetting the reason one goes to college: to get an education.
In an era struggling for competitive balance, how would the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) keep from giving schools like Kentucky and Alabama even more of a competitive advantage than schools like Valparaiso and Florida Gulf Coast? The issue gets complicated when taking into consideration how the salary difference between different teams gets decided.
Even worse, imagine athletes just coming to college for the money. We call college athletes amateurs. Oxford's definition of amateur is "a person who engages in a pursuit, especially a sport, on an unpaid basis." The keyword is unpaid. The history of the word "amateur" dates back to the French word "amator”, which means lover. Essentially, college athletes should be playing their sport for the love of the game, not the money that would be given to them.
Rules should not be made for the minority, and in this instance only two percent of athletes play professional sports. The expected career span of that two percent is 10 years, three and a half years in the National Football League (NFL). An astonishing 80 percent of retired NFL players go broke within three years of retirement, 60 percent in the NBA within five years. This is why the NCAA and its member institutions should apply a "stay and learn”, rule.
This rule should state that if athletes choose to come to college, they will get paid in scholarships that last the entire educational process and the athlete must stay in school until they earn a degree in the area of study they choose. That money from going professional is going to run out sometime, but the degree will always be there.
Look at college athletics for what it is and should always be a high-pressure learning environment and an avenue to earn an education. A much more fun extension of the classroom if you will. After all, they are called student-athletes.
12. How can the salary difference influence college teams?
A. It is likely to promote cooperation.
B. It can increase their independence.
C. It can lead to more communication.
D. It will probably cause more imbalance.
13. Why does the author give explanations to the word "amateur”?
A. To give an individual comment.
B. To confirm the origin of the word.
C. To make the point more authoritative.
D. To provide an example for the argument.
14. How will college athletes benefit from the "stay and learn” rule?
A. Increase their earnings.
B. Get trained for scholarships.
C. Ensure themselves to get a degree.
D. Continue their professional careers.
15. What does the author mainly argue about in the text?
A. For money or for career?
B. A college education or not?
C. Going professional or being amateur?
D. To pay or not to pay college athletes?
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. D

这是一篇议论文。作者在文中主要讨论了该不该给大学生运动员支付费用。一方面作者认为给他们付费用会导致不平衡,他们毕竟是业余运动员;另一方面,可以给他们支付大学期间的奖学金,直到他们获得学位。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的In an era struggling for competitive balance, how would the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) keep from giving schools like Kentucky and Alabama even more of a competitive advantage than schools like Valparaiso and Florida Gulf Coast? The issue gets complicated when taking into consideration how the salary difference between different teams gets decided. (在一个竞争平衡的时代,美国大学体育协会如何才能避免让肯塔基州和阿拉巴马州的学校比瓦尔帕莱索和弗罗里达海湾沿岸的学校拥有更多的竞争优势呢?当考虑到如何决定不同团队之间的工资差异时,问题就变得更复杂了)可知,为大学运动员提供费用是一种打破竞争平衡的行为,然而大学运动员费用的差异会造成更多不平衡。D. It will probably cause more imbalance.(它可能会造成更多的不平衡)符合以上说法,故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的The keyword is unpaid. The history of the word "amateur" dates back to the French word "amator", which means lover. Essentially, college athletes should be playing their sport for the love of the game, not the money that would be given to them.(关键词是免费。“业余”一词的历史可以追溯到法语单词amator,意思是喜爱者。从本质上讲,大学运动员应该是处于对运动的热爱而从事这项运动,而不是为了得到这笔钱)可推测,作者用划线词解释amateur是为了从语言权威的角度再次明确“业余”的意思是出于爱。C. To make the point more authoritative.(为了让这个说法更具权威性)符合以上说法,故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的This rule should state that if athletes choose to come to college, they will get paid in scholarships that last the entire educational process and the athlete must stay in school until they earn a degree in the area of study they choose. (这项规定应该这样规定:如果运动员选择上大学,他们将获得持续整个教育过程的奖学金,而且运动员必须留在学校,直到他们在自己选择的专业获得学位)可知,"stay and learn"政策确保运动员获得一个学位,并在期间给他们提供奖学金。C. Ensure themselves to get a degree.(确保他们自己获得学位)符合以上说法,故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其是第二段的The issue gets complicated when taking into consideration how the salary difference between different teams gets decided.(当考虑到如何决定不同团队之间的工资差异时,问题就变得更复杂了),第三段的Essentially, college athletes should be playing their sport for the love of the game, not the money that would be given to them.( 从本质上讲,大学运动员应该是处于对运动的热爱而从事这项运动,而不是为了得到这笔钱)和倒数第二段This rule should state that if athletes choose to come to college, they will get paid in scholarships that last the entire educational process and the athlete must stay in school until they earn a degree in the area of study they choose. That money from going professional is going to run out sometime, but the degree will always be there.( 这项规定应该规定:如果运动员选择上大学,他们将获得持续整个教育过程的奖学金,而且运动员必须留在学校,直到他们在自己选择的专业获得学位。从专业运动得到钱总会花光,但学位却永远在那儿)可知,作者在文中主要讨论了该不该给大学生运动员付费用。一方面作者认为给他们付费用会导致不平衡,他们毕竟是业余运动员;另一方面,可以给他们支付大学期间的奖学金,直到他们获得学位。D. To pay or not to pay college athletes?(给不给大学生运动员支付费用)符合以上说法,故选D项。

这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了新冠疫情期间,一位美国的数学老师为避免接触,在学生家门口跪着讲解数学题,这一行为流传到网上,受到人们的赞誉。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他去帮助一个在家隔离的学生完成课后作业,迫于新冠疫情而转变为虚拟学习。分析句子结构可知,lock down要作后置定语修饰a student,lock与student之间是被动关系,要用过去分词形式。故填locked。
【37题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:他去帮助一个在家隔离的学生完成课后作业,迫于新冠疫情而转变为虚拟学习。switch to意为“转换为,切换为”。故填to。
【38题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意:在收到12岁的Rylee Anderson的信息后,信息里说她被一道数学题难住了。分析句子结构可知,前后句不缺成分,而句意上a message的内容就应该是学生被数学题难住这个事实,考虑同位语从句,要用that引导。故填that。

【41题详解】
考查主谓一致和时态。句意:那个时候Rylee最期待的就是能看到Waba出现。分析结构可知,这里的主语是all,不定代词视为第三人称单数,且动作发生在过去,be动词要用was。故填was。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了帮助她解决问题,Waba在门外跪了15分钟。分析句子结构可知,这里help her figure out the problem作后句的目的状语,要用动词不定式。故填To help。
【43题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:这一幕被Rylee的父亲用相机拍了下来。分析句子可知,主语the moment与谓语动词shoot之间应该是被动关系(人拍到这一瞬间,这一瞬间被人拍到),且动作发生在过去,要用一般过去时下的被动语态。故填was shot。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:Waba强调,作为一个教育者,在这段困难时期为学生们操心费力是正确的。分析句子可知,空白处需要一个名词,且结合介词as“作为”应该指Waba自己的身份,也就是老师、教育人。故填educator。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:还有成千上万的老师们为他们的学生尽心竭力、保驾护航。分析句子结构可知,这里go作后置定语修饰teachers,go与teachers之间是主动关系,要用现在分词形式。故填going。

第二节(满分25分)
47.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。 续写的词数应为150左右。
I received an urgent call from my aunt. " Turn on the TV. Granny's on the Channel 10 news. " It turned out that Granny had made a sandwich run for her office and was stopped at a red light downtown. She had the window rolled down to enjoy the breeze when a man rushed up to the driver's side window, intending to carjack(劫车)her.
Now, what the would-be carjacker couldn't have known was that this woman simply wasn't " a granny" . This was Nancy Johnson — the same woman who owned and lived on a Texas cattle farm, drove her own tractors, and dug her own post holes to lay fence. The week before, she had shot a rattlesnake and chopped off its head with a shovel . She was the proud owner of the new minivan(小型货车)she was driving. In other words, she was not your normal kind of granny.
The carjacker leaned into the open window, one hand stuffed in his pocket, and said, " Get out of this car. I have a gun, and I will shoot you.” A statement like that would have terrified anyone else. Instead, Granny saw it as a challenge." If you really had a gun in your pocket, you would've pulled it out and led with that first," she shouted at him, apparently unworried.
She was right. The criminal didn't have a gun. He instead reached into the window, grabbed her, and tried to pull her out of the van. He pulled open the door, wildly catching Granny's arms. Granny leaned her shoulder inside to press the horn(喇叭) and started yelling to make people around notice what was happening. With the door now open, she held tight the steering wheel with one arm and started kicking the man anywhere her foot could make contact. This tall woman had quite a reach.
【答案】After a well-placed kick, the man was done, and attempted to release her and run. But Granny wouldn’t stand for that. It was now her turn to grab onto him, her hands made strong from hours and hours of farm work. That poor fool didn’t have a chance. She shouted for help to bystanders, and they rushed to her aid. With Granny leading the charge, a group of strangers came together and pinned the man to the sidewalk, holding him there until the police came. A silver-haired woman had just made a citizen’s arrest.
Later, we asked “Granny, don’t you realize you could have got yourself hilled?” Granny’s answer was surprisingly amusing and simple: “I wasn’t scared of that little idiot. I’d had my brand-new van for less than two days and a pack of good sandwiches for my office. And there was no way he was going to get either of those!” But we all learned an important lesson from her that day- the same lesson that had been building through the years. She encouraged us to push boundaries and expectations. But even more so, she taught us fearlessness.
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇读后续写。
【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知,作者的奶奶开车上街。在停车等红绿灯的时候遇到了拦路抢劫犯。作者的奶奶没有被吓到,反而在路上和抢劫犯做斗争。抓住了抢劫犯,并因此上了电视。续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:在踢了一脚后,这名男子被击倒,并试图放开她并逃跑……,所以这一段应该写歹徒试图逃跑而奶奶伙同其他人制服歹徒,并因此上了电视。要详细写奶奶是如何抓住那个歹徒的。第二段开头是:后来,我们问:“奶奶,难道你没有意识到你会被人盯上吗?” 本段应该写奶奶不畏惧任何坏人。并且通过奶奶的事迹,教会了我们一些人身哲理:我们要无所畏惧。
续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度,我们要熟悉所给划线词语,恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右;续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】文章思路清晰,语言规范,段落整齐,语篇连贯,层次清晰。使用了较为高级的句式:with的复合结构With Granny leading the charge, a group of strangers came together and pinned the man to the sidewalk, holding him there until the police came;定语从句:But we all learned an important lesson from her that day- the same lesson that had been building through the years等。高级句式的应用提升了写作的档次,整个短文显示出了作者高水平的英语表达能力。
