12．（6分）With so much free time on our hands during lockdown， many of us have entertained the idea of knowing more about the world． Learning a foreign language is a good choice． Here are a few examples， in order of time it takes people to learn them．
Latin languages （about 600 hours）
The popular Latin languages ﹣ Italian， French， Spanish and Portuguese ﹣ require about 600 hours to learn． Of these， Spanish and Italian are the easiest for English speakers to learn． They are followed by Portuguese and finally French．
Latin languages share many words with English．However，those shared words look or sound similar， but have different meanings over time．
Greek （1，100 hours）
Modern Greek is maybe the easiest language to learn that uses a different alphabet（字母表）．It is also a language that has contributed many words to English． Indeed， the president of Greece once gave two speeches at an international meeting that included just Greek loan words（外来词） as well as the unavoidable basic English．
Japanese （2， 200 hours）
Counting objects in Japanese depends on whether they are long and thin （like "roads"）， small and round （like "apples"）， thin and flat （like "sheets of paper"）， and hundreds more examples．
What Japanese you speak also depends on your gender（性别）． There's a "rough" language for men and a more "ladylike" language for women， but you must understand both．
Chinese （2， 200 hours）
Each Chinese written word is hardly understandable when spoken between a Mandarin （普通话） speaker in Beijing and a Cantonese speaker in Guangdong． If you think that's strange， consider our number system： the symbol "2" is widely understood but it's pronounced "two" in English and "duex" in French．

（1）For an English speaker， which of the following is the easiest to learn？　 　
A． Japanese．
B． French．
C． Greek．
D． Italian．
（2）What can we learn from the passage？　 　
A． The same word in two languages always has the same meaning．
B． The English language and the Greek language use the same alphabet．
C． Objects are counted differently in Japanese according to their shapes．
D． A Mandarin speaker and a Cantonese speaker write Chinese differently．
（3）The purpose of this passage is to tell English speakers　 　．
A． how to learn some foreign languages
B． why they must learn a foreign language
C． some information on the difficulty of foreign languages
D． not to choose an Asian language to learn as it is too hard
13．（6分）Influenza， or flu（流感）， is a type of virus． It spreads from one person to another quickly． When someone who has the flu coughs or sneezes， little droplets from their lungs （肺） spread out into the air．Anyone nearby can get sick． Even a person who touches something with the virus and then touches his or her mouth， eyes， or nose， can become infected（感染）．
The outbreak of the 1918 influenza infected about 500 million people worldwide． It killed from 20 million to 50 million people． It was first seen in Europe， the United States， and parts of Asia．It then spread quickly around the world． Many people who became sick were young， healthy adults．At the time， no treatments worked in the prevention of the spread of the killer flu． People were ordered to wear masks． Schools， theaters and other public places were closed．
When the first wave（波＞in the spring of 1918 hit， it didn't seem serious． People who were infected felt the usual flu symptoms（症状）， which are chills， fevers， and feeling tired． Those who got sick generally got better after several days． Not many died． However， a second， highly contagious（传染的）wave of influenza appeared in the fall of that same year． Victims died shortly after they were infected ﹣ within hours or days． Their skin turned blue and their lungs were filled with liquid（液体），making it very difficult to breathe．
By the summer of 1919， the flu pandemic（大流行病） came to an end． Sick people had either got well or died． Almost 90 years later， in 2008， researchers announced they'd discovered why the 1918 flu was so deadly． The flu virus inflamed （使…恶化）the lungs， causing them to fill with liquid．
Since 1918， there have been several other influenza pandemics， although none has been quite as deadly．

（1）What information about the 1918 flu is mentioned in the passage？　 　
A． The reason why it was so deadly．
B． The reason why it ended．
C． The change it caused to medical research．
D． The place in which it was last seen．
（2）All the people that were infected with the 1918 flu　 　．
A． had blue skin that led to their death
B． had touched someone with the virus
C． died as their lungs were filled with liquid
D． had the virus in their bodies that made them sick
（3）Which of the following statements about the 1918 flu is TRUE according to the passage？　 　
A． Wearing a mask was the best way to treat it．
B． A younger person had a lower risk of being infected with it．
C． People expected the coming of its second wave， but couldn't stop it．
D． It was deadlier than any other influenza pandemic in modern history．
14．（6分）"What's wrong， Carina？" Collin asked． "Homesick again？"
His sister nodded．
"Yeah， me too．" Collin sighed（叹息）．
Their family had moved to the new place nearly four months ago． The new place was housed inside a huge transparent dome （透明的圆屋顶）． It still didn't feel like home．
"I miss my friends，" Carina said sadly． "And green grass and swimming， and everything． I even miss the sound of rain on the roof（屋顶）．"
"Worst of all，" Carina continued， "my birthday is in two days， and I don't think Mom and Dad are planning anything special． They're too busy．"
"She's probably right，" thought Collin． Life here was very busy for scientists like their parents． He doubted if they had time to plan a party． And how could they anyway？ Things such as balloons and birthday candles didn't exist here． They didn't even have enough materials to make a cake．
"Don't worry．" Collin put an arm around Carina's shoulder．
Collin walked toward the agricultural center， where his mom worked． He found her taking notes on some tall tube﹣like plants．
"What are those？" he asked．
"Bamboo plants，" said Mom． "They're strong and grow fast． They make good building materials．"
"May I have a piece？"
"Sure．" Mom handed one to him and made a note on her notebook．
The next day， Collin made tiny holes into the piece of bamboo and put small nails（钉子）into each hole． He poured a handful of pebbles（鹅卵石） inside and covered the open ends．
Collin held the bamboo piece carefully as he hurried home． He hid it behind his back and opened the front door． To his surprise， Mom and Dad were home early from work． Mom was carrying something that looked like a cake．
He looked closer and realized Mom had made a cake with dried apples and cinnamon（肉桂皮）sugar．A real treat， on the Moon．
Collin handed his sister the bamboo rod． "Happy birthday!"
"What is it？" Carina asked， looking at it curiously．
"A rain stick，" said Collin． "Whenever you turn it over， the pebbles fall around the nails and it sounds like rain．"
Carina turned the stick， and the room was filled with a sound like rain drumming on a roof．
"It's Moon Rain!" she said． "It makes me feel like I'm home．" She smiled at Collin and turned the rain stick over again．

（1）What may be the best title of this passage？　 　
A． Bamboo Plants
B． Moon Rain
C． Homesick Again!
D． United Family
（2）What can we know from the passage？　 　
A． This passage is part of a science fiction written for scientific research．
B． The family moved to the new place in order to do some sightseeing．
C． Their new home was on a dry land on the earth far from their old one．
D． Carina didn't think her parents would plan anything special for her birthday．
（3）Which of the following can best describe Collin？　 　
A． Careful and brave．
B． Caring and creative．
C． Generous and intellectual．
D． Romantic and popular．
15．（8分）Looking at art should be like walking in the countryside．You may not know exactly where you are，what bird is making that strange sound， or what the hill ahead of you is called，but that's part of the fun of it．You don't need to know these things to feel the beauty of nature．
Of course， if you do know your birds， trees and local history， a walk can be more attractive． Yet such knowledge comes slowly． It is picked up through experience．A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone．Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen． Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin（毁灭） it？
Braggarts enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge， for example， about baroque（巴洛克风格的） paintings． In fact， apps in museums try to provide on﹣screen art history at once just to encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings．
It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon﹣fed（灌输） amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate（欣赏） it． Our first experience of a work of art should be raw（自然状态的），unguided，and a bit puzzling， like following a path in the woods． Later， you might choose to do some personal research into the work． It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it． Yet it is best done when you're away from the art itself， so that even when you return， the work still feels fresh．
Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a work of art is wrong． We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art． Let the paintings flow in； let your intuitions（直觉） fly off． Art is a journey in the wilderness or it is nothing at all．

（1）What does the writer mainly want to say？　 　
A． Art is best with the help of apps．
B． Art is best when hidden in mystery．
C． Art is nothing compared with nature．
D． Art is nothing when details and facts are known．
（2）The underlined word "braggarts" refers to（指）　 　．
A． people who like showing off
B． people who like baroque paintings
C． those who are good at appreciating art
D． those who are good at painting with phones
（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 4？　 　
A． How to appreciate a work of art．
B． How to personal research into a work of art．
C． How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh．
D． How to be spoon﹣fed amazing facts about a work of art．
（4）what can we infer（推断） from the passage？　 　
A． Because of apps， art will be ruined in the future．
B． A good piece of art is usually made about nature．
C． Research work and intuitions can both help understand art．
D． Museums are not supposed to allow the use of mobile phones．
四、阅读表达（共1小题；每小题5分，满分5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．
16．（5分） The game of Go was one of the four greatest artistic types in Chinese culture． It is not only a competitive event of the mind，but also a board game of entertainment．
Created in China more than four thousand years ago． Go was introduced to Korea and Japan over 1， 000 years ago， and has since become a favorite activity of many people there． Today， Go still serves as a way of cultural exchange among the people in many Eastern and Western countries， as players in these countries take part in many international games every year．
A game of Go has many implications（含义） for real life． It represents a square world of round pieces in black and white． There are 181 black pieces and 180 white ones in total．While the board is fixed，the pieces can be placed in millions upon millions of different ways， just as life in the real world may take many turns． The proper placement of each tiny Go piece is similar to how one might solve a difficult problem in life．
Go pays much attention to peaceful competition and coexistence （共存）． In a game of Go， the players do not wipe out（消灭） each other's pieces． Instead， they simply try to win a larger share of space while allowing the other side some space． However， in chess and Chinese chess， the players try to wipe out as many of the other side's pieces as possible．The one who forces the other side's commander（主帅）into a dead corner then wins the game． Therefore， Go carries deeper cultural and philosophical connotations（哲学内涵）．
Wu Qingyuan（1914﹣2014）， a modern Go talent， believed that the final purpose of the game was to try to achieve peace． Instead of fighting as enemies， the two players work together to play an excellent game．

12．（6分）With so much free time on our hands during lockdown， many of us have entertained the idea of knowing more about the world． Learning a foreign language is a good choice． Here are a few examples， in order of time it takes people to learn them．
Latin languages （about 600 hours）
The popular Latin languages ﹣ Italian， French， Spanish and Portuguese ﹣ require about 600 hours to learn． Of these， Spanish and Italian are the easiest for English speakers to learn． They are followed by Portuguese and finally French．
Latin languages share many words with English．However，those shared words look or sound similar， but have different meanings over time．
Greek （1，100 hours）
Modern Greek is maybe the easiest language to learn that uses a different alphabet（字母表）．It is also a language that has contributed many words to English． Indeed， the president of Greece once gave two speeches at an international meeting that included just Greek loan words（外来词） as well as the unavoidable basic English．
Japanese （2， 200 hours）
Counting objects in Japanese depends on whether they are long and thin （like "roads"）， small and round （like "apples"）， thin and flat （like "sheets of paper"）， and hundreds more examples．
What Japanese you speak also depends on your gender（性别）． There's a "rough" language for men and a more "ladylike" language for women， but you must understand both．
Chinese （2， 200 hours）
Each Chinese written word is hardly understandable when spoken between a Mandarin （普通话） speaker in Beijing and a Cantonese speaker in Guangdong． If you think that's strange， consider our number system： the symbol "2" is widely understood but it's pronounced "two" in English and "duex" in French．

（1）For an English speaker， which of the following is the easiest to learn？　D　
A． Japanese．
B． French．
C． Greek．
D． Italian．
（2）What can we learn from the passage？　C　
A． The same word in two languages always has the same meaning．
B． The English language and the Greek language use the same alphabet．
C． Objects are counted differently in Japanese according to their shapes．
D． A Mandarin speaker and a Cantonese speaker write Chinese differently．
（3）The purpose of this passage is to tell English speakers　C　．
A． how to learn some foreign languages
B． why they must learn a foreign language
C． some information on the difficulty of foreign languages
D． not to choose an Asian language to learn as it is too hard
【分析】本文讲述了学习一门外语是一个不错的选择．以下是几个例子，按照人们学习这些语言的时间顺序排列．
【解答】（1）D 细节理解题．根据"拉丁语"部分：Spanish and Italian are the easiest for English speakers to learn．西班牙语和意大利语是讲英语的人最容易学的．结合选项可知，对于一个说英语的人来说，意大利语最容易学．故选D．
（2）C 细节推测题．根据"日语"部分：Counting objects in Japanese depends on whether they are long and thin （like "roads"）， small and round （like "apples"）， thin and flat （like "sheets of paper"），日文中计算物体的数量取决于它们是长而细（像"路"），小而圆（像"苹果"），薄而平（像"纸"）．可以推测出，在日语中，物体根据形状的不同而计数．故选C．
（3）C 推理判断题．根据首段Learning a foreign language is a good choice． Here are a few examples， in order of time it takes people to learn them．学习一门外语是一个不错的选择．以下是几个例子，按照人们学习这些语言的时间顺序排列．结合全文可以推测出，这篇文章的目的是告诉说英语的人关于外语难度的一些信息． 故选C．
13．（6分）Influenza， or flu（流感）， is a type of virus． It spreads from one person to another quickly． When someone who has the flu coughs or sneezes， little droplets from their lungs （肺） spread out into the air．Anyone nearby can get sick． Even a person who touches something with the virus and then touches his or her mouth， eyes， or nose， can become infected（感染）．
The outbreak of the 1918 influenza infected about 500 million people worldwide． It killed from 20 million to 50 million people． It was first seen in Europe， the United States， and parts of Asia．It then spread quickly around the world． Many people who became sick were young， healthy adults．At the time， no treatments worked in the prevention of the spread of the killer flu． People were ordered to wear masks． Schools， theaters and other public places were closed．
When the first wave（波＞in the spring of 1918 hit， it didn't seem serious． People who were infected felt the usual flu symptoms（症状）， which are chills， fevers， and feeling tired． Those who got sick generally got better after several days． Not many died． However， a second， highly contagious（传染的）wave of influenza appeared in the fall of that same year． Victims died shortly after they were infected ﹣ within hours or days． Their skin turned blue and their lungs were filled with liquid（液体），making it very difficult to breathe．
By the summer of 1919， the flu pandemic（大流行病） came to an end． Sick people had either got well or died． Almost 90 years later， in 2008， researchers announced they'd discovered why the 1918 flu was so deadly． The flu virus inflamed （使…恶化）the lungs， causing them to fill with liquid．
Since 1918， there have been several other influenza pandemics， although none has been quite as deadly．

（1）What information about the 1918 flu is mentioned in the passage？　A　
A． The reason why it was so deadly．
B． The reason why it ended．

（3）Which of the following statements about the 1918 flu is TRUE according to the passage？　D　
A． Wearing a mask was the best way to treat it．
B． A younger person had a lower risk of being infected with it．
C． People expected the coming of its second wave， but couldn't stop it．
D． It was deadlier than any other influenza pandemic in modern history．
【分析】本文主要讲了流感的传播方式以及1918年全世界流感爆发的详细情况．
【解答】细节理解题．
（1）A．题目问在文中有关1918年流感提到了什么信息，根据第四段Almost 90 years later， in 2008， researchers announced they'd discovered why the 1918 flu was so deadly．可知文中提到了1918年流感致命的原因，故选A．
（2）D．题目意为感染1918流感的所有人_____，根据第四段By the summer of 1919， the flu pandemic（大流行病） came to an end． Sick people had either got well or died． Almost 90 years later， in 2008， researchers announced they'd discovered why the 1918 flu was so deadly． The flu virus inflamed （使…恶化）the lungs， causing them to fill with liquid．可知感染了这种病毒的人使得肺部恶化，因此判断得1918年流感的人都感染了这个流感病毒．故选D．
（3）D．题目问根据文章有关1918年流感的陈述哪一项是正确的，根据最后一段Since 1918， there have been several other influenza pandemics， although none has been quite as deadly．可知自从1918年以来也出现过一些其他的流感，但是都没有这次致命，因此判断自从1918年以来，即现代历史中它比其他任何一种流感都要致命，故选D．
14．（6分）"What's wrong， Carina？" Collin asked． "Homesick again？"
His sister nodded．
"Yeah， me too．" Collin sighed（叹息）．
Their family had moved to the new place nearly four months ago． The new place was housed inside a huge transparent dome （透明的圆屋顶）． It still didn't feel like home．
"I miss my friends，" Carina said sadly． "And green grass and swimming， and everything． I even miss the sound of rain on the roof（屋顶）．"
"Worst of all，" Carina continued， "my birthday is in two days， and I don't think Mom and Dad are planning anything special． They're too busy．"
"She's probably right，" thought Collin． Life here was very busy for scientists like their parents． He doubted if they had time to plan a party． And how could they anyway？ Things such as balloons and birthday candles didn't exist here． They didn't even have enough materials to make a cake．
"Don't worry．" Collin put an arm around Carina's shoulder．
Collin walked toward the agricultural center， where his mom worked． He found her taking notes on some tall tube﹣like plants．
"What are those？" he asked．
"Bamboo plants，" said Mom． "They're strong and grow fast． They make good building materials．"
"May I have a piece？"
"Sure．" Mom handed one to him and made a note on her notebook．
The next day， Collin made tiny holes into the piece of bamboo and put small nails（钉子）into each hole． He poured a handful of pebbles（鹅卵石） inside and covered the open ends．
Collin held the bamboo piece carefully as he hurried home． He hid it behind his back and opened the front door． To his surprise， Mom and Dad were home early from work． Mom was carrying something that looked like a cake．
He looked closer and realized Mom had made a cake with dried apples and cinnamon（肉桂皮）sugar．A real treat， on the Moon．
Collin handed his sister the bamboo rod． "Happy birthday!"
"What is it？" Carina asked， looking at it curiously．
"A rain stick，" said Collin． "Whenever you turn it over， the pebbles fall around the nails and it sounds like rain．"
Carina turned the stick， and the room was filled with a sound like rain drumming on a roof．
"It's Moon Rain!" she said． "It makes me feel like I'm home．" She smiled at Collin and turned the rain stick over again．

（2）D 细节理解题．根据"my birthday is in two days， and I don't think Mom and Dad are planning anything special． They're too busy．再过两天就是我的生日了，我想爸爸妈妈并没有什么特别的计划．他们太忙了，可知卡琳娜认为她的父母不会为她的生日安排任何特别的事情，故答案为：D．
（3）B 细节归纳题．根据"A rain stick，" said Collin． "Whenever you turn it over， the pebbles fall around the nails and it sounds like rain，结合文章内容，可知Collin因为关心妹妹，为妹妹制作了一场月球雨，可见他很关心妹妹，而且很有创造力，故答案为：B．
15．（8分）Looking at art should be like walking in the countryside．You may not know exactly where you are，what bird is making that strange sound， or what the hill ahead of you is called，but that's part of the fun of it．You don't need to know these things to feel the beauty of nature．
Of course， if you do know your birds， trees and local history， a walk can be more attractive． Yet such knowledge comes slowly． It is picked up through experience．A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone．Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen． Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin（毁灭） it？
Braggarts enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge， for example， about baroque（巴洛克风格的） paintings． In fact， apps in museums try to provide on﹣screen art history at once just to encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings．
It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon﹣fed（灌输） amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate（欣赏） it． Our first experience of a work of art should be raw（自然状态的），unguided，and a bit puzzling， like following a path in the woods． Later， you might choose to do some personal research into the work． It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it． Yet it is best done when you're away from the art itself， so that even when you return， the work still feels fresh．
Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a work of art is wrong． We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art． Let the paintings flow in； let your intuitions（直觉） fly off． Art is a journey in the wilderness or it is nothing at all．

（1）What does the writer mainly want to say？　B　
A． Art is best with the help of apps．
B． Art is best when hidden in mystery．
C． Art is nothing compared with nature．
D． Art is nothing when details and facts are known．
（2）The underlined word "braggarts" refers to（指）　A　．
A． people who like showing off
B． people who like baroque paintings
C． those who are good at appreciating art
D． those who are good at painting with phones
（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 4？　A　
A． How to appreciate a work of art．
B． How to personal research into a work of art．
C． How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh．
D． How to be spoon﹣fed amazing facts about a work of art．
（4）what can we infer（推断） from the passage？　C　
A． Because of apps， art will be ruined in the future．
B． A good piece of art is usually made about nature．
C． Research work and intuitions can both help understand art．
D． Museums are not supposed to allow the use of mobile phones．
【分析】文章主要讲了如何去欣赏艺术．
【解答】（1）B 内容理解题．根据段落4 Our first experience of a work of art should be raw，unguided，and a bit puzzling， like following a path in the woods． Later， you might choose to do some personal research into the work．我们对一件艺术品的第一次体验应该是原始的、没有引导的、有点令人困惑的，就像在树林里走小路一样，结合文章内容，可知作者认为隐藏在神秘之中的艺术是最好的，故答案为：B．
（2）A 词语理解题．根据段落3 allows them to show off their knowledge可以让他们炫耀自己知识的应用，可知此处是讲爱吹牛的人喜欢一款可以让他们炫耀自己知识的应用，Braggarts指代爱炫耀的人，故答案为：A．
（3）A 段落理解题．根据段落4 It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon﹣fed amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate（欣赏） it． Our first experience of a work of art should be raw，unguided，and a bit puzzling如果你认为要想欣赏一件艺术品，就得让别人给你灌输有关它的惊人事实，这是一种错误的想法．我们对一件艺术品的第一次体验应该是原始的、没有引导的、有点令人困惑的，结合本段内容，可知第4段主要讲了如何去欣赏一件艺术品，故答案为：A．
（4）C 内容推断题．根据段落4 Later， you might choose to do some personal research into the work． It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it，结合全文内容，可知研究工作和直觉都有助于理解艺术，故答案为：C．
四、阅读表达（共1小题；每小题5分，满分5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．
16．（5分） The game of Go was one of the four greatest artistic types in Chinese culture． It is not only a competitive event of the mind，but also a board game of entertainment．
Created in China more than four thousand years ago． Go was introduced to Korea and Japan over 1， 000 years ago， and has since become a favorite activity of many people there． Today， Go still serves as a way of cultural exchange among the people in many Eastern and Western countries， as players in these countries take part in many international games every year．
A game of Go has many implications（含义） for real life． It represents a square world of round pieces in black and white． There are 181 black pieces and 180 white ones in total．While the board is fixed，the pieces can be placed in millions upon millions of different ways， just as life in the real world may take many turns． The proper placement of each tiny Go piece is similar to how one might solve a difficult problem in life．
Go pays much attention to peaceful competition and coexistence （共存）． In a game of Go， the players do not wipe out（消灭） each other's pieces． Instead， they simply try to win a larger share of space while allowing the other side some space． However， in chess and Chinese chess， the players try to wipe out as many of the other side's pieces as possible．The one who forces the other side's commander（主帅）into a dead corner then wins the game． Therefore， Go carries deeper cultural and philosophical connotations（哲学内涵）．
Wu Qingyuan（1914﹣2014）， a modern Go talent， believed that the final purpose of the game was to try to achieve peace． Instead of fighting as enemies， the two players work together to play an excellent game．
