It is a well accepted assumption that students come to colleges to get good grades and that they are usually too busy to do anything else.
But Connie Snyder Mick, an academic director of the Center for Social Concerns at the University of Notre Dame, says it is just half of the truth. There are many volunteering centers like hers at the colleges and universities in the United States. Mick says these centers help students seek an experience that may not be directly related to a student’s academic progress, but that is still important.
Volunteering is not uncommon in higher education. Many college groups organize volunteer events for different causes. Officials in charge of student housing often organize such events to help build a sense of community. Participation in these kinds of activities is good for students, Mick says. For example, the busy nature of college life can create a lot of stress for students. Doing something completely unrelated to a student's studies can help calm them by putting their mind on other things.
For a more meaningful addition to their college experience. Mick urges students to visit centers like the one she heads. She says these centers exist to create volunteer opportunities that are more complex and meaningful than just a day spent cleaning a local park or raising money, for example.
Such volunteering centers often partner with local organizations that serve the people of the nearby communities. Even for students with little interest in building a connection with the local communities, there is still value in what volunteer centers have to offer, Mick says. She notes some opportunities can push students to use what they are learning in the classroom out in the real world and having that kind of experience can make a student appealing to employers in the years to come.
4. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Academic progress.
B. College education.
C. Volunteering experience.
D. Center for Social Concerns.
5. What is the housing officials’ main purpose in organizing those events?
A. To give students good part-time jobs.
B. To raise money for different celebrations.
C. To help build a closer bond among the students.
D. To improve the living conditions for the students.
6. How can these centers’ activities benefit the students according to Mick?
A. By helping them focus on their study.
B. By offering chances to test their knowledge.
C. By protecting them from the local communities.
D. By increasing their competitiveness in the job market.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Colorful College Life in the USA
B. Guidelines for Volunteering Center Selection
C Volunteering: a Meaningful Addition to College Life
D. A Valuable Platform: Mick's Center for Social Concerns
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. C

A research paper recently reported that the Chinese paddlefish (中华鲟) — one of the world’s largest freshwater fish — has been declared extinct.
Scientists say the Chinese paddlefish and its close relatives have been around for at least 200 million years. The species, reaching up to seven meters in length, survived unimaginable changes, such as the mass extinction that killed the dinosaurs. But there’s one phenomenon this ancient species, sometimes called the “panda of the Yangtze”, could not survive humans.
Their huge size and plentiful flesh made them a popular target for fishermen and a welcome addition to inner tables in China. In the 1970s, 25 tons of paddlefish were harvested per year on average.
But the construction of the Gezhouba Dam on the Yangtze forever changed the Yangtze River habitat of paddlefish, because it was constructed without a fish ladder or sideway and cut off the paddlefish from their only breeding (繁殖) grounds upstream. Populations of the fish continued to decrease after the completion of the dam in 1981, but nobody had yet figured out how terrible the situation was. As is often the case, there can be a significant delay between major disturbances and their consequence. The researchers say the fish had become functionally extinct by 1993, meaning there were not enough fish to meaningfully reproduce.
Pan Wenjing is an ocean expert with Greenpeace East Asia. She told The Associated Press the extinction of the Chinese paddlefish was “a huge loss” for nature. She said the development confirms that the Yangtze River is experiencing major environmental damage.
“The ecosystem of the Yangtze River is close to its breaking point due to human activity in past decades.” Pan said. “The paddlefish’s extinction should serve as a wake-up call to protect other freshwater species. Moving forward, we need to balance the needs of humans with the needs of life in rivers and seas. Humans should not live alone on this planet.”
8. What can we say about the Chinese paddlefish?
A. It is the largest fish.
B. It appeared earlier than dinosaurs.
C. It is a kind of ancient fish.
D. It was a welcome dish for the fishermen.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The design problems of the Gezhouba Dam.
B. The worsening ecosystem in the Yangtze River.
C. The population development of the Chinese paddlefish.
D. The main reason for the dying out of the Chinese paddlefish.
10. How does Pan Wenjing feel about the extinction of the Chinese paddlefish?
A. Angry. B. Doubtful.
C. Worried. D. Unconcerned.
11. In which section of The Associated Press may this text most probably appear?
A. Environment. B. Science.
C. Culture. D. Tourism
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】

【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要聚焦于“人为的环境破坏导致中华鲟的灭绝”。由此可知,这篇文章最有可能出现在美联社的环境版面。故选A。

Thousands of teenagers face rising lack of sleep and the number of admissions to hospitals has been increasing over the past six years. Rating it just behind obesity (肥胖症), anxiety and mental health, experts have described it the fourth hidden health disaster for teenagers.
Data from NHS Digital show that admissions with sleep disorders among those aged 19 and under have risen from 605,200 in 2013 to 940,290 in 2019, although sleep disorders in the other age groups have fallen noticeably at the same period of time. Mandy Gurney from Millpond Sleep Clinic, a private children’s sleep clinic in London, said that there was a 30% rise in sleep-related disorders among teenagers last year.
“It is a very worrying increase, especially if this rate keeps going up,” Gurney said. She added that prescriptions for melatonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙) the body produces naturally in reaction to darkness and helps prepare us for sleep, had also risen. “We feel that the rise in sleep problems is very much based on anxiety — school pressure, peer pressure and, in particular, social media addiction.”
Vicki Dawson, founder of the Children's Sleep Charity, said her organization was flooded by families’ calls seeking help. She said the rise in sleep disorders was partly due to the blue light from screens that suppresses the production of melatonin. “We are increasingly seeing families where both parents are out working, which means that traditional bedtime routines may be rushed or abandoned all together,” she said. “More often than not, children are left to the company of screens.”
12. What can we learn from Mandy Gurney’s words?
A. Melatonin is an effective cure for sleep disorders.
B. Sleep problems are becoming the most serious health crisis.
C. It is the social media that lead to the sleep disorders among the students.
D She is particularly concerned about the fast rise of sleep disorders among teenagers.
13. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “suppresses” in paragraph 4?
A. Multiply. B. Changes.
C. Reduces. D. Monitors.
14. Where can you find the data that best support “sleep disorders are on the rise among teenagers”?
A. In paragraph 1. B. In paragraph 2.
C. In paragraph 3. D. In paragraph 4.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The serious consequences of lack of sleep.
B. The measures to improve school children's sleep.
C. The relationship between screen time and mental health.
D. The sleep problem among the teenagers and the causes.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了青少年中普遍存在的睡眠障碍及原因。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It is a very worrying increase, especially if this rate keeps going up,” Gurney said.可知,“这是一个非常令人担忧的增长,尤其是如果这个比率继续上升,”Gurney说。由此可知,Mandy Gurney特别担心的是睡眠障碍在青少年中蔓延的速度。故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中的She added that prescriptions for melatonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙) the body produces naturally in reaction to darkness and helps prepare us for sleep, had also risen.可知,她补充说,褪黑素的处方数量也有所增加。褪黑素是人体对黑暗做出自然反应时产生的一种激素,有助于我们入睡。及第四段中的She said the rise in sleep disorders was partly due to the blue light from screens that suppresses the production of melatonin.可知,她说,睡眠障碍增加的部分原因是屏幕发出的蓝光suppresses了褪黑素的分泌。可推断,睡眠障碍是由于褪黑素的分泌受到了屏幕蓝光的抑制而导致的。由此可知,划线词意为“抑制,减少”。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的Data from NHS Digital show that admissions with sleep disorders among those aged 19 and under have risen from 605,200 in 2013 to 940,290 in 2019, although sleep disorders in the other age groups have fallen noticeably at the same period of time.(英国国家医疗服务系统的数据显示,19岁及以下的青少年因睡眠障碍入院的人数从2013年的605200人增加到2019年的940290人,而其他年龄段的睡眠障碍人数同期明显下降)可知,在第二段可以找到支持“睡眠障碍正呈上升趋势”的数据。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了儿童睡眠缺乏症普遍存在的现象及原因。故选D。
【点睛】做词义猜测题时利用上下文提供的情景和线索,进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义,最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义。尤其是抓住所需推断词汇前后的内容推断划线词义。本题第2小题,根据第三段中的She added that prescriptions for melatonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙) the body produces naturally in reaction to darkness and helps prepare us for sleep, had also risen.可知,她补充说,褪黑素的处方数量也有所增加。褪黑素是人体对黑暗做出自然反应时产生的一种激素,有助于我们入睡。及第四段中的She said the rise in sleep disorders was partly due to the blue light from screens that suppresses the production of melatonin.可知,她说,睡眠障碍增加的部分原因是屏幕发出的蓝光suppresses了褪黑素的分泌。可推断,睡眠障碍是由于褪黑素的分泌受到了屏幕蓝光的抑制而导致的。由此可知,划线词意为“抑制,减少”。故选C。

New Virus Details Show Challenge for Outbreak Control
At first, scientists were relieved that the new virus, COVID-19, wasn’t as dangerous as those that caused SARS. Ebola or some other recent infectious diseases.____16____. Here are some of the challenges.
Multiplying infections
According to the existing data, the infection rate for SARS is 3 while the ordinary flu’s infection rate is about 1.1. Now, based on the first 425 confirmed COVID-19 cases, each infection led to 2.2 more infections on average.____17____. Yet we don’t know whether the new virus is weakening or is still learning what it can do.
Varying incubation periods (潜伏期)
Scientists estimated the average incubation period was roughly five days but said it could last up to two weeks.____18____. People can move away from where they got it and not even remember places where they may have been exposed.
Spreading in stealth
Another big worry is that one person with no symptoms can also infect others. On Thursday, scientists reported that a woman who was not ill at the time spread the virus to a man in Germany during a business trip there.____19____.
Testing gaps
____20____. At present, a few types of test kits (工具包) have been developed. But they are not accurate enough. Scientists are not sure how many false alarms or missed cases each might give at any point in time. That leaves a key gap.
Although scientists are still faced with so many challenges, they are confident that the new virus will be put under control soon.
A. More testing equipment should be provided at once
B. It’s still a struggle to determine who is or is not infected
C. Such a long potential incubation period can be a problem
D. The rate is a bit lower than SARS but much higher than ordinary flu

40. of 41. their
42. costs 43. are covered
44. generally
45. attractive
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了在日本中小学中日益严重的霸凌问题及对策。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。分析句子成分可知,subject为可数名词单数,表示泛指,应该用不定冠词限定;另外空后的increasingly为元音音素开头的单词。故填an。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,这是一个“介词+宾语+补语”的独立结构,在句中作状语;且parents与struggle之间具有逻辑上的主谓关系,应该用所给词的现在分词。故填struggling。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,该空在此处作目的状语,应该用所给词的不定式。故填To deal。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,所填词引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词parents;且引导词在从句中做主语,故填who或that。
【40题详解】
考查介词。free of charge意为“免费”,为固定短语。故填of。
【41题详解】
考查代词。分析句子成分可知,此处应该用形容词性物主代词修饰后面的名词children。故填their。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态及主谓一致。分析句子成分可知,所填词是本句的谓语动词;主语为单数名词,且与动词构成主动关系;另外,这是日常报价,应该用所给词的一般现在时第三人称单数。故填costs。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态及语态。分析句子成分可知,主语与所填动词之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系,故用所给动词的被动语态。另外,根据句意可知,这是保险合同的一般条款,应该用一般现在时。故填are covered。
【44题详解】
考查副词。分析句子成分可知,应填词在句中修饰谓语动词,作状语,应该用所给词的副词。故填generally。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。分析句子成分可知,空后为名词,此处应填所给词的形容词,作定语修饰名词。故填attractive。
【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题第4小题中先行词为名词parents,再分析先行词parents在限定性定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词parents带到从句中可知,只能作主语,故确定关系词为who或that。

【答案】Dear Eric,
I’m really glad to hear from you at this moment when my school has been shut down in a response to the COVID-19 disease. Now I have to spend most of my days at home taking on-line classes, completing more schoolwork assigned by my worried teachers and parents!
Although I’ve started to adjust well to my life at home, I really miss the familiar rhythm of school life. I hope that the outbreak will soon come to an end so I can study with my friends again rather than being holed up in my room all the day.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
Growing up, we didn’t have much money. Actually, we had very little. We lived in a small house with holes in the floor. We wore old clothes and had little food. With three little mouths to feed, my daddy worked as a gatekeeper in a middle school and then farmed our own small field until dark. Daddy provided the best he could for us and mama made our clothes on her old sewing machine. We could have easily applied for welfare, but my parents wouldn't think of it. Our family was full of love and proud of hard work
Then I was in the third grade, in Mrs. Harper’s class. One day, Mrs. Harper brought a huge box of toys to school to give to “poor” children. Everyone was invited to bring some of his or her own toys from home to put in the box. Needless to say. I had hardly any toys of my own to offer.
My eyes got big the next day when I looked into that box. It was like a dream world to me — so many colorful toys! Clearly, Mrs. Harper saw the curious look on my face, and although I never asked with a smile, she let me pick out two toys for myself from the box. I was so thankful and thought that I was the luckiest girl in the whole world!
When I got home. I couldn't wait to show mama what I brought from the school. She admired the toys and asked where I got them. I told her about the box for the poor children and that Mrs. Harper had let me pick two toys from the box!Mama thought for a few seconds and said in a very sweet way, “No…no, You can’t keep these two toys.”
Paragraph 1:
Mama explained to me that those toys were for “poor” children.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Mrs. Harper said she understood what mama meant.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Mama explained to me that those toys were for "poor" children. She took me by the hand and showed me around our house and said that we had a house to live in and that we had enough to eat. Above all, we had a family and we loved each other. We were not poor at all. But there were many children who didn't. They were the people who really needed the toys. Eventually she asked me to take the two toys back to school and put them in Mrs. Harper's box.
Mrs. Harper said she understood chat mama meant. And after school, she took me and some of my classmates to the street to hand out those toys. When I saw the smiles on the faces of those homeless children, I began to understand what mama had told me. Mama was long gone. But her words have stayed with me all the time.
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇读后续写。
【详解】1.第一段给出的首句是Mama explained to me that those toys were for “poor” children.这一句是故事发展的转折点。可以从“她拉着我的手,带我参观了我们的房子,说我们有房子住,我们有足够的食物。”入手扩展开去,——无论从何角度拓展,需注意与续写第二段首句呼应。
2.第二段所给首句Mrs. Harper said she understood what mama meant.这一句呼应前文,紧接着可以从“放学后,她带我和我的一些同学到街上分发那些玩具。”入手续写。
【点睛】这篇续写,段落衔接紧密,语句环环相扣,层次清晰,文中使用高级句子。She took me by the hand and showed me around our house and said that we had a house to live in and that we had enough to eat.句中使用并列的宾语从句;But there were many children who didn’t.定语从句用在句中;When I saw the smiles on the faces of those homeless children, I began to understand what mama had told me.句中使用when引导的时间状语从句和what引导的宾语从句。

It is a well accepted assumption that students come to colleges to get good grades and that they are usually too busy to do anything else.
But Connie Snyder Mick, an academic director of the Center for Social Concerns at the University of Notre Dame, says it is just half of the truth. There are many volunteering centers like hers at the colleges and universities in the United States. Mick says these centers help students seek an experience that may not be directly related to a student’s academic progress, but that is still important.
Volunteering is not uncommon in higher education. Many college groups organize volunteer events for different causes. Officials in charge of student housing often organize such events to help build a sense of community. Participation in these kinds of activities is good for students, Mick says. For example, the busy nature of college life can create a lot of stress for students. Doing something completely unrelated to a student's studies can help calm them by putting their mind on other things.
For a more meaningful addition to their college experience. Mick urges students to visit centers like the one she heads. She says these centers exist to create volunteer opportunities that are more complex and meaningful than just a day spent cleaning a local park or raising money, for example.
Such volunteering centers often partner with local organizations that serve the people of the nearby communities. Even for students with little interest in building a connection with the local communities, there is still value in what volunteer centers have to offer, Mick says. She notes some opportunities can push students to use what they are learning in the classroom out in the real world and having that kind of experience can make a student appealing to employers in the years to come.
4. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Academic progress.
B. College education.
C. Volunteering experience.
D. Center for Social Concerns.
5. What is the housing officials’ main purpose in organizing those events?
A. To give students good part-time jobs.
B. To raise money for different celebrations.
C. To help build a closer bond among the students.
D. To improve the living conditions for the students.
6. How can these centers’ activities benefit the students according to Mick?
A. By helping them focus on their study.
B. By offering chances to test their knowledge.
C. By protecting them from the local communities.
D. By increasing their competitiveness in the job market.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Colorful College Life in the USA
B. Guidelines for Volunteering Center Selection
C Volunteering: a Meaningful Addition to College Life
D. A Valuable Platform: Mick's Center for Social Concerns
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. C

A research paper recently reported that the Chinese paddlefish (中华鲟) — one of the world’s largest freshwater fish — has been declared extinct.
Scientists say the Chinese paddlefish and its close relatives have been around for at least 200 million years. The species, reaching up to seven meters in length, survived unimaginable changes, such as the mass extinction that killed the dinosaurs. But there’s one phenomenon this ancient species, sometimes called the “panda of the Yangtze”, could not survive humans.
Their huge size and plentiful flesh made them a popular target for fishermen and a welcome addition to inner tables in China. In the 1970s, 25 tons of paddlefish were harvested per year on average.
But the construction of the Gezhouba Dam on the Yangtze forever changed the Yangtze River habitat of paddlefish, because it was constructed without a fish ladder or sideway and cut off the paddlefish from their only breeding (繁殖) grounds upstream. Populations of the fish continued to decrease after the completion of the dam in 1981, but nobody had yet figured out how terrible the situation was. As is often the case, there can be a significant delay between major disturbances and their consequence. The researchers say the fish had become functionally extinct by 1993, meaning there were not enough fish to meaningfully reproduce.
Pan Wenjing is an ocean expert with Greenpeace East Asia. She told The Associated Press the extinction of the Chinese paddlefish was “a huge loss” for nature. She said the development confirms that the Yangtze River is experiencing major environmental damage.
“The ecosystem of the Yangtze River is close to its breaking point due to human activity in past decades.” Pan said. “The paddlefish’s extinction should serve as a wake-up call to protect other freshwater species. Moving forward, we need to balance the needs of humans with the needs of life in rivers and seas. Humans should not live alone on this planet.”
8. What can we say about the Chinese paddlefish?
A. It is the largest fish.
B. It appeared earlier than dinosaurs.
C. It is a kind of ancient fish.
D. It was a welcome dish for the fishermen.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The design problems of the Gezhouba Dam.
B. The worsening ecosystem in the Yangtze River.
C. The population development of the Chinese paddlefish.
D. The main reason for the dying out of the Chinese paddlefish.
10. How does Pan Wenjing feel about the extinction of the Chinese paddlefish?
A. Angry. B. Doubtful.
C. Worried. D. Unconcerned.
11. In which section of The Associated Press may this text most probably appear?
A. Environment. B. Science.
C. Culture. D. Tourism
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】

Moving forward, we need to balance the needs of humans with the needs of life in rivers and seas. Humans should not live alone on this planet.可知,白鲟的灭绝应该为保护其他淡水物种敲响警钟。向前迈进,我们需要平衡人类的需要与河流和海洋的生命的需要。人类不应该独自生活在这个星球上。由此可推断,Pan Wenjing对中国白鲟的灭绝感到担忧。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要聚焦于“人为的环境破坏导致中华鲟的灭绝”。由此可知,这篇文章最有可能出现在美联社的环境版面。故选A。

Thousands of teenagers face rising lack of sleep and the number of admissions to hospitals has been increasing over the past six years. Rating it just behind obesity (肥胖症), anxiety and mental health, experts have described it the fourth hidden health disaster for teenagers.
Data from NHS Digital show that admissions with sleep disorders among those aged 19 and under have risen from 605,200 in 2013 to 940,290 in 2019, although sleep disorders in the other age groups have fallen noticeably at the same period of time. Mandy Gurney from Millpond Sleep Clinic, a private children’s sleep clinic in London, said that there was a 30% rise in sleep-related disorders among teenagers last year.
“It is a very worrying increase, especially if this rate keeps going up,” Gurney said. She added that prescriptions for melatonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙) the body produces naturally in reaction to darkness and helps prepare us for sleep, had also risen. “We feel that the rise in sleep problems is very much based on anxiety — school pressure, peer pressure and, in particular, social media addiction.”
Vicki Dawson, founder of the Children's Sleep Charity, said her organization was flooded by families’ calls seeking help. She said the rise in sleep disorders was partly due to the blue light from screens that suppresses the production of melatonin. “We are increasingly seeing families where both parents are out working, which means that traditional bedtime routines may be rushed or abandoned all together,” she said. “More often than not, children are left to the company of screens.”
12. What can we learn from Mandy Gurney’s words?
A. Melatonin is an effective cure for sleep disorders.
B. Sleep problems are becoming the most serious health crisis.
C. It is the social media that lead to the sleep disorders among the students.
D She is particularly concerned about the fast rise of sleep disorders among teenagers.
13. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “suppresses” in paragraph 4?
A. Multiply. B. Changes.
C. Reduces. D. Monitors.
14. Where can you find the data that best support “sleep disorders are on the rise among teenagers”?
A. In paragraph 1. B. In paragraph 2.
C. In paragraph 3. D. In paragraph 4.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The serious consequences of lack of sleep.
B. The measures to improve school children's sleep.
C. The relationship between screen time and mental health.
D. The sleep problem among the teenagers and the causes.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了青少年中普遍存在的睡眠障碍及原因。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It is a very worrying increase, especially if this rate keeps going up,” Gurney said.可知,“这是一个非常令人担忧的增长,尤其是如果这个比率继续上升,”Gurney说。由此可知,Mandy Gurney特别担心的是睡眠障碍在青少年中蔓延的速度。故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中的She added that prescriptions for melatonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙) the body produces naturally in reaction to darkness and helps prepare us for sleep, had also risen.可知,她补充说,褪黑素的处方数量也有所增加。褪黑素是人体对黑暗做出自然反应时产生的一种激素,有助于我们入睡。及第四段中的She said the rise in sleep disorders was partly due to the blue light from screens that suppresses the production of melatonin.可知,她说,睡眠障碍增加的部分原因是屏幕发出的蓝光suppresses了褪黑素的分泌。可推断,睡眠障碍是由于褪黑素的分泌受到了屏幕蓝光的抑制而导致的。由此可知,划线词意为“抑制,减少”。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的Data from NHS Digital show that admissions with sleep disorders among those aged 19 and under have risen from 605,200 in 2013 to 940,290 in 2019, although sleep disorders in the other age groups have fallen noticeably at the same period of time.(英国国家医疗服务系统的数据显示,19岁及以下的青少年因睡眠障碍入院的人数从2013年的605200人增加到2019年的940290人,而其他年龄段的睡眠障碍人数同期明显下降)可知,在第二段可以找到支持“睡眠障碍正呈上升趋势”的数据。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了儿童睡眠缺乏症普遍存在的现象及原因。故选D。
【点睛】做词义猜测题时利用上下文提供的情景和线索,进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义,最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义。尤其是抓住所需推断词汇前后的内容推断划线词义。本题第2小题,根据第三段中的She added that prescriptions for melatonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙) the body produces naturally in reaction to darkness and helps prepare us for sleep, had also risen.可知,她补充说,褪黑素的处方数量也有所增加。褪黑素是人体对黑暗做出自然反应时产生的一种激素,有助于我们入睡。及第四段中的She said the rise in sleep disorders was partly due to the blue light from screens that suppresses the production of melatonin.可知,她说,睡眠障碍增加的部分原因是屏幕发出的蓝光suppresses了褪黑素的分泌。可推断,睡眠障碍是由于褪黑素的分泌受到了屏幕蓝光的抑制而导致的。由此可知,划线词意为“抑制,减少”。故选C。

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。
New Virus Details Show Challenge for Outbreak Control
At first, scientists were relieved that the new virus, COVID-19, wasn’t as dangerous as those that caused SARS. Ebola or some other recent infectious diseases.____16____. Here are some of the challenges.
Multiplying infections
According to the existing data, the infection rate for SARS is 3 while the ordinary flu’s infection rate is about 1.1. Now, based on the first 425 confirmed COVID-19 cases, each infection led to 2.2 more infections on average.____17____. Yet we don’t know whether the new virus is weakening or is still learning what it can do.
Varying incubation periods (潜伏期)
Scientists estimated the average incubation period was roughly five days but said it could last up to two weeks.____18____. People can move away from where they got it and not even remember places where they may have been exposed.
Spreading in stealth
Another big worry is that one person with no symptoms can also infect others. On Thursday, scientists reported that a woman who was not ill at the time spread the virus to a man in Germany during a business trip there.____19____.
Testing gaps
____20____. At present, a few types of test kits (工具包) have been developed. But they are not accurate enough. Scientists are not sure how many false alarms or missed cases each might give at any point in time. That leaves a key gap.
Although scientists are still faced with so many challenges, they are confident that the new virus will be put under control soon.

38. To deal
39. who/that
40. of 41. their
42. costs 43. are covered
44. generally
45. attractive
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了在日本中小学中日益严重的霸凌问题及对策。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。分析句子成分可知,subject为可数名词单数,表示泛指,应该用不定冠词限定;另外空后的increasingly为元音音素开头的单词。故填an。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,这是一个“介词+宾语+补语”的独立结构,在句中作状语;且parents与struggle之间具有逻辑上的主谓关系,应该用所给词的现在分词。故填struggling。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,该空在此处作目的状语,应该用所给词的不定式。故填To deal。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,所填词引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词parents;且引导词在从句中做主语,故填who或that。
【40题详解】
考查介词。free of charge意为“免费”,为固定短语。故填of。
【41题详解】
考查代词。分析句子成分可知,此处应该用形容词性物主代词修饰后面的名词children。故填their。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态及主谓一致。分析句子成分可知,所填词是本句的谓语动词;主语为单数名词,且与动词构成主动关系;另外,这是日常报价,应该用所给词的一般现在时第三人称单数。故填costs。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态及语态。分析句子成分可知,主语与所填动词之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系,故用所给动词的被动语态。另外,根据句意可知,这是保险合同的一般条款,应该用一般现在时。故填are covered。
【44题详解】
考查副词。分析句子成分可知,应填词在句中修饰谓语动词,作状语,应该用所给词的副词。故填generally。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。分析句子成分可知,空后为名词,此处应填所给词的形容词,作定语修饰名词。故填attractive。
【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题第4小题中先行词为名词parents,再分析先行词parents在限定性定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词parents带到从句中可知,只能作主语,故确定关系词为who或that。

【答案】Dear Eric,
I’m really glad to hear from you at this moment when my school has been shut down in a response to the COVID-19 disease. Now I have to spend most of my days at home taking on-line classes, completing more schoolwork assigned by my worried teachers and parents!
Although I’ve started to adjust well to my life at home, I really miss the familiar rhythm of school life. I hope that the outbreak will soon come to an end so I can study with my friends again rather than being holed up in my room all the day.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
Growing up, we didn’t have much money. Actually, we had very little. We lived in a small house with holes in the floor. We wore old clothes and had little food. With three little mouths to feed, my daddy worked as a gatekeeper in a middle school and then farmed our own small field until dark. Daddy provided the best he could for us and mama made our clothes on her old sewing machine. We could have easily applied for welfare, but my parents wouldn't think of it. Our family was full of love and proud of hard work
Then I was in the third grade, in Mrs. Harper’s class. One day, Mrs. Harper brought a huge box of toys to school to give to “poor” children. Everyone was invited to bring some of his or her own toys from home to put in the box. Needless to say. I had hardly any toys of my own to offer.
My eyes got big the next day when I looked into that box. It was like a dream world to me — so many colorful toys! Clearly, Mrs. Harper saw the curious look on my face, and although I never asked with a smile, she let me pick out two toys for myself from the box. I was so thankful and thought that I was the luckiest girl in the whole world!
When I got home. I couldn't wait to show mama what I brought from the school. She admired the toys and asked where I got them. I told her about the box for the poor children and that Mrs. Harper had let me pick two toys from the box!Mama thought for a few seconds and said in a very sweet way, “No…no, You can’t keep these two toys.”
Paragraph 1:
Mama explained to me that those toys were for “poor” children.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Mrs. Harper said she understood what mama meant.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Mama explained to me that those toys were for "poor" children. She took me by the hand and showed me around our house and said that we had a house to live in and that we had enough to eat. Above all, we had a family and we loved each other. We were not poor at all. But there were many children who didn't. They were the people who really needed the toys. Eventually she asked me to take the two toys back to school and put them in Mrs. Harper's box.
Mrs. Harper said she understood chat mama meant. And after school, she took me and some of my classmates to the street to hand out those toys. When I saw the smiles on the faces of those homeless children, I began to understand what mama had told me. Mama was long gone. But her words have stayed with me all the time.
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇读后续写。
【详解】1.第一段给出的首句是Mama explained to me that those toys were for “poor” children.这一句是故事发展的转折点。可以从“她拉着我的手,带我参观了我们的房子,说我们有房子住,我们有足够的食物。”入手扩展开去,——无论从何角度拓展,需注意与续写第二段首句呼应。
2.第二段所给首句Mrs. Harper said she understood what mama meant.这一句呼应前文,紧接着可以从“放学后,她带我和我的一些同学到街上分发那些玩具。”入手续写。
【点睛】这篇续写,段落衔接紧密,语句环环相扣,层次清晰,文中使用高级句子。She took me by the hand and showed me around our house and said that we had a house to live in and that we had enough to eat.句中使用并列的宾语从句;But there were many children who didn’t.定语从句用在句中;When I saw the smiles on the faces of those homeless children, I began to understand what mama had told me.句中使用when引导的时间状语从句和what引导的宾语从句。
