篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章中一项新调查表明，中国银行和阿里巴巴是中国学生的梦想雇主。
1．conducted　考查非谓语动词。survey和conduct之间是被动关系，用过去分词作后置定语，故填conducted。
2．roughly　考查词性转换。此空修饰整个句子，用副词修饰，作状语，故填roughly。
3．their　考查代词。句意：5%的人想要创办他们自己的生意。所以用形容词性物主代词，故填their。
4．have recognized　考查动词的时态。根据时间状语for seven years可知，谓语动词用现在完成时，故填have recognized。
5．giving　考查非谓语动词。介词后跟动名词作宾语，故填giving。
6．an　考查冠词。此处泛指一种行业，attractive发音是以元音开头，故填an。
7．which　考查定语从句的引导词。此处是一个非限制性定语从句，指代前面整个句子内容用which引导定语从句，故填which。
8．traditional　考查词性转换。此处修饰名词用形容词，作定语，故填traditional。
9．opportunities　考查名词。opportunity为可数名词，作主语，谓语用are，所以用复数，故填opportunities。
10．ranking　考查非谓语动词。rank和Alibaba是主动关系，所以用现在分词作伴随状语，故填ranking。
Ⅳ.短文改错
It was my first visit a space station considered the most modern in space. Describing as an enormous round plate, it spins slowly in space to imitate a pull of the earth's gravity. Inside were an exhibition of the more up­to­date inventions of the 31st century. A guide showed us around three stop. In the first stop, I saw the “thoughtpad” used for send messages. In the second stop, we were on the “environment area”. There was a waste machine which could swallow all the waste availably. The third stop showed us to how the goods were manufactured by robots.
答案：
It was my first visit a space station considered the most modern in space. as an enormous round plate, it spins slowly in space to imitate pull of the earth's gravity. Inside an exhibition of the up­to­date inventions of the 31st century. A guide showed us around three . In the first stop, I saw the “thought­pad” used ∕ messages. In the second stop, we were the “environment area”. There was a waste machine which could swallow all the waste . The third stop showed us how the goods were manufactured by robots.
难项分析：
第二处：Describing→Described　考查非谓语动词。此处非谓语动词作状语。it与describe之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词。
第四处：were→was　考查主谓一致。本句为倒装句，主语为an exhibition，所以谓语动词用单数形式。
第十处：去掉to　考查动词用法。show sb. sth. 表示“向某人展示某物”，是固定用法，to多余，所以删去。此句中“某物”用how引导的名词性从句表示。

Ⅱ.阅读理解

(2020·南昌市重点中学高三年级段考试题)As life in cities worldwide becomes more expensive, urban designers are using modern technology to help citizens avoid traffic jams, and shorten the time needed for bus waiting and other things. Technology is also used to cut costly waste.
In Santander, a Spanish port city, parking is easy to find. As one car drives away, an underground sensor shows that a parking space is now free. 400 sensors send messages to signs on streets, and GPS devices direct drivers to the nearest available parking spaces, reducing traffic jams. Trash is collected only when the bins are full and bus stop signs show exactly when the next bus is coming. The public parks are watered only when the soil gets dry. All this is made possible by 20, 000 sensors installed on buildings, street posts and even buses. They are part of the “smart city\” project, launched by the University of Cantabria seven years ago.
University researchers like Luis Munoz regularly meet with locals to discuss how to make their city even smarter. “They propose their ideas and sometimes even develop them by themselves. Here, we give them the opportunity to see these ideas happen in real life，\” said Munoz. For example, the university helped a woman create an app that outlines the easiest route for walking with a baby stroller. Another provides information to residents about their water consumption and sends an alarm to their phone if there is a leak.
The Santander smart project is attracting the attention of larger cities in Europe and elsewhere that are looking for smart solutions to urban problems.

1．What is the life like in Santander?
A．It is meaningful.
B．It is full of freedom.
C．It is likely to change fast.

(2020·全国新高三开学联考)Slowly but surely, we're moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart­home security to self­driving cars, all the internet­connected devices in our life will be able to talk to each other at lightning­fast speeds with reduced delay. Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the US top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.
“5G is one of those heralds (使者), along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age，” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. The self­driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It's pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, and also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There's lots of data behind that task, which is why we need the high speed.
And virtual reality glasses and headsets haven't yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist—or even replace—smartphones.
Ericsson stated at February's Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.
But don't get too excited. There's still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn't concentrated only in big cities.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。随着科技的不断发展，5G时代即将来临。它最大的优势就是上网速度大大加快。
5．What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A．A right security of 5G.
B．The super speed of 5G.
C．A potential dream of 5G.
D．The present world of 5G.
答案：B　推理判断题。首段先提出5G时代即将来临，接下来介绍5G上网下载的高速度，相比于目前的4G,5G有望达到千兆的上网速度。故首段的主要内容是介绍5G的超级速度。
6．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “emblem” in Paragraph 2?
A．Exhibition. B．Explanation.
C．Sponsor. D．Symbol.
答案：D　词义猜测题。该句意为“无人驾驶车辆是这个数字时代的伟大象征”；根据后面的补充解释“it is a sign of time”也可推知画线词是“象征”的意思。
7．What do some tech companies expect of virtual reality glasses?
A．They will be heavier than present ones.
B．They will process power on their own.
C．They will serve people instead of smartphones.
D．They will bring a big fortune to tech companies.
答案：C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“... but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones”可知，科技公司预计这些装置最终取代我们的手机。因此选C。
8．What will the author tell us in the next paragraph?
A．How to fully expand 5G coverage.
B．How to effectively reduce 5G trials.
C．How to nicely operate 5G hardware.
D．How to widely construct 5G big cities.
答案：A　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容，尤其是“... so 5G isn't concentrated only in big cities”可知，迎接5G时代的到来，我们还有很多的工作要做，其中就有升级其技术，让5G不仅仅是应用于大城市。故A项“扩大5G的覆盖率”符合接下来的叙述内容。
Ⅲ.短文改错
The incident had happened on my way to a bookstore on the rainy Sunday afternoon. I was waiting for the green light when a girl about ten was knocked down by a passing car, that drove off quickly. A man immediately rushed to the girl to give him first aid. I joined in without any hesitate. A young woman called 110 and the polices soon arrived on the scene. Fortunate she was not badly injured and we sent her to the nearest hospital. Comparing with the escaped driver, I am proud of that I did.

1．去掉had　考查动词的时态。全文描述过去的一个具体时间，即周日的下午，发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故将过去完成时改为一般过去时。
2．the→a　考查冠词。此处表示在一个周日的下午，表泛指，故将the改为a。
3．girl后加of　考查介词。此处意为“一个大约10岁的女孩”，应用of表示年龄。
4．that→which　考查定语从句的引导词。逗号后为非限制性定语从句，补充说明主句中的“a passing car”，关系词在从句中作主语，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，故将that改为which。
5．him→her　考查代词。由本句中的“rushed to the girl”可知，这位男士给小女孩采取急救措施，故将him改为her。
6．hesitate→hesitation　考查名词。without any hesitation是固定短语，意为“毫不犹豫地”，故将hesitate改为hesitation。
7．polices→police　考查名词。police为集合名词，没有复数形式。故将polices改为police。
8．Fortunate→Fortunately　考查副词。副词修饰整个句子，描述这位小姑娘的境况。故改为副词Fortunately。
9．Comparing→Compared　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，compare和其逻辑主语I构成动宾关系，故应用过去分词作状语。
10．that→what　考查名词性从句的连接词。介词of后为宾语从句，连接词在从句中作did的宾语，且意为“……的东西(事情)”，that在引导从句时只起连接作用，不作成分，无词义，故将that改为what。
