For the most part it seems, workers in rich countries have little to fear from globalization, and a lot to gain. But is the same thing true for workers in poor countries? The answer is that they are ever more likely than their rich-country counterparts to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain.
Traditional economies takes an optimistic line on integration(一体化) and the developing countries. Openness to foreign trade and investment should encourage capital to flow to poor economies. In the developing world, capital is scarce, so the returns on investment there should be higher than in the industrialized countries, where the best opportunities to make money by adding capital to labour have already been used up. If poor countries lower their barriers to trade and investment, the theory goes, rich foreigners will want to send to over some of their capital.
If this inflow of resources arrives in the form of loans or portfolio investment（组合投资）, it will top up domestic savings and loosen the financial restriction on additional investment by local companies. If it arrives in the form of new foreign-controlled operations，FDI，so much the better；this kind of capital brings technology and skills from abroad packaged along with it, with less financial risk as well. In either case，the addition to investment ought to push incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labour and partly by making labour more productive.
This is why workers in FDI-receiving countries should be in an even better position to profit from integration than workers in FDI-sending countries. Also, with or without inflows of foreign capital, the same gains from trade should apply in developing countries as in rich ones. This gains from trade logic often arouses suspicion, because the benefits seem to come from nowhere. Surely one side or the other must lose. Not so. The benefits that a rich country gets through trade do not come at the expense of its poor country trading partners, or vice versa. Recall that according to the theory, trade is a positive sum game. In all these trades, both sides—exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers can gain.
这是一篇说明文。文章是关于全球化背景下，富裕地区和贫穷地区的受益情况的讨论，结果
是在贸易中，所有涉及到的方方面面都能从中获益。
5. Why are workers in poor countries more likely to benefit from the process of globalization？
A.The can get more chances to gain a good job.
B.They have less to lose and more to gain.
C.They have nothing to lose.
D.They can get more financial aid.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题：由第一段"The answer is that they are even more likely than their rich-country counterparts to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain.”可知，他们富裕国家的同行更可能获得利益，因为他们失去的更少，获得的更多。所以贫穷国家的工人在全球化过程中更可能受益，是因为他们失去的少而获得的多。故选B。
6. What can be the final result of the inflow of the resource？
A.It will top up domestic savings. B.It will loosen the financial restriction.
C.It will push people's incomes up. D.It will bring technology and skills from abroad.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。由第三段“In either case, the addition to investment ought to push incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labour and partly by making labour more productive.”可知，在这两种情况下，投资的增加都应该推动收入的增加，部分是通过劳动力的需求，部分是通过提高劳动力的生产力、由此可以推断出，资源流入的最大可能是推动人们收入增加。故选C.
7. What can we know from the last paragraph？
A. Poor countries get the most profit during the process of trade.
B. Rich countries get profit from trade at poor countries' expense.
C. Poor countries get more profit from trade than rich ones.
D. All aspects involved in the trade can get benefit.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。由最后一段"In all these trades, both sides--exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers can gain.”可知，在所有的贸易中，出口商和进口商双方，借款人和收款方，股东和工人都有收获。即跟贸易相关的所有方面都能受益。故选D.
C
When my old dog developed major health problems, I knew that watching him fail would be painful, but I wasn't prepared for the powerful lessons he'd offer in the last year of his life.
Chance was 14 when the problems started. First, he developed a cancer that left him whistling for breath. Then came cataracts（白内障）in both eyes, arthritis（关节炎）in his legs, and a series of mini-strokes（小中风）that threw off his balance. Any one of these misfortunes would have left me begging for relief, but Chance became calmer as the disabilities piled up.
When leg pain left him frozen on the floor, unable to rise for a quick pat as I came home, he didn't complain. He just lay there patiently, signaling me with his hammering tail, each movement spelling out the value of waiting for the things you want. When his cataracts made steering impossible after dark, he'd stand calmly until I could guide him inside, proving how easy it is to find happiness if you let go of your pride and insecurities and learn to lean on those who love you.
When mini-strokes had him walk unsteadily like a drunk, he taught the value of persistence. For days after each attack, he'd fall as he moved about. Yet again and again he'd try to walk, each day moving a few more steps until finally he was able to get outside and back by himself.
There were lessons in so much of what he did, but the key one surely was the importance of obtaining all the joy possible from each experience whether it's a day lazing under a warm sun or a few minutes appreciating a favorite meal.
For most of our life together, Chance was always rushing ahead, searching out new adventures, then circling back to let me know what lay around the next turn. As an old dog, he did the same thing, using his attitude, instead of his once-fast legs, to show the way.
这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己的狗，Chance，已经年迈，且疾病缠身，却仍使坦然面对生活的故事。从狗的身上，作者也学会要有勇气和尊严的面对年迈。
8. Chance suffered very much from all the diseases he had except for________.
A. having problem with breath B.walking around awkwardly
B. having trouble drinking D.losing his eyesight in darkness
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。由第二段中的“First, he developed a cancer that left him whistling for breath.Then came cataracts（白内障）in both eyes, arthritis（关节炎）in his legs, and a series of mini-strokes
（小中风）that threw off his balance.”可知, 他先是因癌症呼吸急促，然后两只眼都患上了白内障，腿上有了关节炎，一系列的中风让他失去了平衡。因此，Chance患的病有呼吸问题，走路困难和黑暗中石不见，没有喝水问题。故选C.
9.________is the most important lesson the author learned from Chance.
A.Living in the present and enjoying what we have
B.Learning to depend on those who we love and trust
C.That we should expect good things to happen patiently
D.That we should persevere in what we believe is worth trying
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“There were lessons in so much of what he did，but the key one surely was the importance of obtaining all the joy possible from each experience whether it's a day lazing under a warm sun or a few minutes appreciating a favorite meal.”可知，作者从Chance身上学到的最重要的是活在当下，享受我们拥有的。故选A.
10. It is implied in the passage that___________.
A.people might suffer from different diseases when they grow old
B.people could face aging with courage and dignity
C.pets would become calmer for lack of energy in their last days
D.pets and masters should stick together helping each other in difficulty
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。由第三段中的“For days after each attack, he'd fall as he moved about. Yet again and again he'd try to walk, each day moving a few more steps until finally he was able to get outside and back by himself.”可知Chance在面对年迈带来的问题时勇敢面对且有尊严。所以可以推断出，人们也应该勇敢和有尊严的面对年老。故选B.
11. Which of the following words best describes the author's feelings to Chance？
A. Bitter B.Appreciative C.Proud D. Sympathetic
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。由最后一段可知，对我们在一起的大部分时间而言，Chance总是冲在前面，寻找新的冒险，然后绕回来让我知道接下来前面是什么。作为一只老狗，他也做了相同的事情，用他的态度，而不是他曾经快过的腿，给我指路。因此，作者对他的狗应该是感激的（appreciative），故选B。
D
A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-month-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. After all, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing....Right? Perhaps, but some developmental psychologist have argued that this "play"is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.
Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge, it falls in the ground—and, in the process, it brings out important evidence about how physical objects interact; bowls of rice do not float in midst, but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact.
Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby's investigation and the scientist's experiment appear to share the same aim, to learn about the natural world, overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected?).
Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has. For example, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn't like Dove chocolate.
Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws on how children learn, but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seems to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort—the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world—is simply something that comes from our babyhood.
Perhaps evolution provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it, “It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了孩子的玩要和科学家的研究有共同之处。
12. We learn from Paragraph 2 that________.
A. scientists and babies seem to observe the world differently
B. scientists and babies often interact with each other
C. babies are born with the knowledge of object support
D. babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容可知，虽然他们的范围和工具不同，婴儿的调查和科学家的实验似乎有一个共同的目的（了解自然世界），整体的方法（从世界中收集直接的证据），和逻辑（我的观察是我所期望的吗？）出此可知，婴儿们似乎像科学家一样收集证据。故选D项。
13. Children may lean the rules of language by ________.
A.exploring the physical world B.investigating human psychology
C.repeating their own experiments D.observing their parents' behaviors
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容可知，例如，只有通过反复的实验，收集证据，最终推翻一个理论，婴儿才会接受其他人可能有不同的观点和欲望。由此可知，孩子们可以通过重复自己的实验来学习语言规则。故选C项。
14. What is the main idea of the last paragraph？
A. The world may be more clearly explained through children's play.
B. Studying babies' play may lead to a better understanding of science.
C. Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists
D. One's drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows.
【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段段第一句内容可为本段中心句内容可知，将儿童发展视为一项关于儿童如何学习的科学调查，但它也提供了一种对科学和科学家的鼓舞人心的看法，由此可知，最后一段主要表达了研究婴儿的玩要可能有助于更好地理解科学。故选B项。
15. What is the author's tone when he discusses the connection between scientists' research and babies' play？
A.Imposing. B.Confused. C.Confident. D.Objective.
【答案】D
【解析】过阅读文章可知，作者在讨论该内容时使用了比较中立的词汇“perhaps, appear to, may”等表达了并不肯定的语气，以及通过引用其他人的观点“some psychologist suggest/argue that..”，因此可判新作者并没有直接强烈地表达个人观点。因此可知作者的态度是客观的。因此选D项。

The Last Robot-Proof Job in America？
You can get most food, such as warm cookies or vodka, to your doorstep in minutes. But try getting a red snapper (红鲷鱼). Until recently, if you could obtain it, it would likely have been pre-frozen and shipped in from overseas.
Anew tech startup is aiming to 21 this situation. Based inside the Fulton Fish Market, a seafood wholesale market, the startup, called FultonfishMarket.com, allows customers across the whole country, both restaurants and individuals, to buy from the market. The fish is shipped 22 ，rather than frozen, thanks to an Amazon advanced logistics system.
Mike Spindler, the company's CEO said recently, “I can get a fish to Waren Buffett, that's as fresh as if he'd walked down to the pier(码头) and bought it that morning.”
There is one thing, 23 , that the sophisticated logistics system cannot do: pick out a fish. If Warren Buffett orders a red snapper, the company needs to 24 that his fish is actually red snapper, and not some other. According to the ocean-conservation organization, more than 20% of the seafood in restaurants and grocery stores in America is 25 . For this task, the company has employed Robert DiGregorio, a forty-seven-year veteran of the business, who possesses a blend of judgement and 26 knowledge that, so far, computers have yet to replicate.
“ 27 the food-safety stuff, our business could be any market from the last three thousand years of human history.” Spindler told me.He is experienced in the 28 business. When he arrived at the fish market in 2014, people were cautious. "They thought selling fish on the Internet was 29 ". DiGregorio said, speaking for the fishmongers(鱼贩). “They didn't see how it could possibly work." Five years ago DeGregorio didn't know how to use a computer, but when the Web-site people arrived at the market, he sensed an opportunity. Together, they've created a human-machine fish-buying operation.
By 1 a.m.each night, the company collects 30 from around the country and sends them to DiGregorio. He heads into the market carrying his tablet computer. The company's algorithms(算法) 31 data on their sources and can tell DiGregorio, for example which stall to go to get the best tuna (金枪鱼). The computer is a“learning system," so if DiGregorio makes a choice it didn't 32 ，it asks."Was the fish not available? Was it damaged?" All that information is fed back in for next time.
Then, what can a fishmonger see that a computer can't? DeGregorio showed me his part of the 33 process. “I'm assessing a few things, he said. First, 34 . Fish should have“nice"slime(粘液). Then, smell. He sniffed the air above the box. “when fish goes had, it smells like ammonia." Besides, to get the best stuff, “Fishmongers have to have a relationship with you. To trust you." He added.
ls he ever 35 being replaced by the learning system of computers? DiGregorio shrugged. "By the time they invent a computer that can do what I can do."he said, "I'll be dead."

Dear Jim
Glad to hear from you. It’s such a coincidence that I know something about Hans Christian Andersen who is honored as "the father of modern fairy tales". He was born in Denmark on April 2, 1805. his father was a poor shoemaker who died in 1816, and his mother was a laundrywoman. Andersen lived in poverty from an early age and wasn’t well educated. But he became interested in the stage performance and dreamed of becoming a singer, an actor or a playwright.
In1819 Andersen began to write. His literary career began in 1822 with his early writing mainly focusing on poems and plays. His great masterpieces include The Ugly Duckling and The Little Match Girl. He died of cancer in 1872. During his whole life he has written168 fairy tales. His spirits overcoming all kinds of difficulties with enormous perseverance still inspires us now.
Hope this will help you know more about this great “father of modern fairy tales”.
Yours

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Thanks to my conservative(保守的) Jewish background, I didn’t believe in angels. That is, not until Christmas Eve of 1979, when an angel brought unexpected joy to my home.
After divorce, my two daughters not only lost the security of a whole family, they also tearfully left behind neighborhood friends, a familiar school, and a large house. These had all been replaced with a narrow two-bedroom apartment in a poorer part of town.
I arranged to take my vocation during my children’s winter school holiday. We spent evenings planning activities: cookie baking, games, a pizza night, and evening car rides to view neighborhood holiday lights. With expectation, they seemed to be in good spirits.
The week before the school break, however, terrible news of family disasters arrived. By Christmas Eve, gloom clouded our vacation plans. An afternoon outing for movie did little to improve our mood.
On returning to our apartment, we were astonished to see a beautiful, six-foot Christmas tree propped(支撑) against our front door. In silent wonder, we looked back and forth, from the tree to one another and around the empty street. Excitement built, and the girls begged to keep the tree.
“Maybe it’s for us,” insisted my older daughter.
“Yeah,” echoed my younger child. “I bet an angel brought it to us!”
I laughed aloud at the idea of an angel bringing a Christmas tree to a Jewish family. Caught up in their happiness, I pronounced the tree “ours.”
We dragged it inside and headed out to the only supermarket in our small town open that late on Christmas Eve. With holiday goods marked down to half price, I gave a nod of approval to a tree stand(底座), two boxes of multicolored balls, a package of six Santa figurines(小雕像), a 100-foot string of mini lights, and one paper angel.
Paragraph 1:
Back home, we moved “our” tree into our tiny living room.______________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The annual winter holiday became a family tradition.___________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________
【参考范文】
Back home, we moved “our”tree into our tiny living room. Cheerfully, the girls painted some paper decorations. With delight that had been absent for months, we started to lay the things we bought from the supermarket around the Christmas tree. We strung the lights, hung the multicolored balls and placed the paper angel on top. Finally, with a girl in each of my arms, we sat in the darkness, attracted by the twinkling Christmas tree lights. There was full of joy in our new home.
The annual winter holiday became a family tradition. Years later we moved to a new house in another town. Girls went to university one by one, found jobs in cities and got married, just leaving me still in the town. But when it was time to celebrate the annual family festival which began from the Christmas of 1979, we all got together happily, enjoying the sweet moments brought by “angels”.
【点拨】
由于我保守的犹太背景，我不相信天使。也就是说，直到1979年的平安夜，一个天使给我的家带来了意想不到的快乐。 离婚后，我的两个女儿不仅失去了整个家庭的安全感，还流着泪离开了邻居朋友、一所熟悉的学校和一栋大房子。这些都变成了镇上较贫困地区的一套狭窄的两居室公寓。我安排在孩子们的寒假期间休假。我们晚上计划活动:烤饼干、游戏、披萨之夜，以及晚上乘车去看附近的灯光节。带着期望，他们似乎情绪很好。 然而，在学校放假的前一周，传来了家庭灾难的可怕消息。到了圣诞夜，我们的假期计划变得暗淡无光。下午出去看电影也没能改善我们的情绪。回到公寓，我们惊讶地看到一棵漂亮的六英尺长的圣诞树靠在我们的前门。在无声的惊奇中，我们来回地看着，从一棵树到另一棵树，再到空荡荡的街道。女孩们兴奋起来，恳求保留这棵树。 “也许是给我们的，”我的大女儿坚持说。 “是的，”我年幼的孩子附和道。“我打赌是天使带给我们的！” 一想到天使会给一个犹太家庭带来一棵圣诞树，我就放声大笑。沉浸在他们的幸福中，我宣布这棵树是我们的，我们把它拖了进去，然后去了我们小镇上唯一一家在圣诞夜这么晚还开门的超市。假日商品减价至半价，我向一个树点头表示同意，我们买了底座，两盒五彩球，一包六个圣诞小雕像，一串100英尺长的迷你灯和一个纸天使。
这篇文章描述了一个离婚后失去房子和安全感的单亲带着自己的两个孩子，搬到一个贫困的小镇上的小公寓中生活。在圣诞节时，一位好心人送来的圣诞树给这个家庭带来了快乐，此后每年的冬假就成了这个家庭的传统节日。
第一段首句Back home, we moved “our” tree into our tiny living room.这一段应该描述一家人快乐地用买来的材料装饰圣诞树，营造出一种幸福的家庭氛围。
第二段首句The annual winter holiday became a family tradition.孩子们长大离去，我们也搬离了狭窄的小公寓，但是每年冬假团聚成了我们家的保留节目，我们在这一天感谢带给我们希望的“天使”。

For the most part it seems, workers in rich countries have little to fear from globalization, and a lot to gain. But is the same thing true for workers in poor countries? The answer is that they are ever more likely than their rich-country counterparts to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain.
Traditional economies takes an optimistic line on integration(一体化) and the developing countries. Openness to foreign trade and investment should encourage capital to flow to poor economies. In the developing world, capital is scarce, so the returns on investment there should be higher than in the industrialized countries, where the best opportunities to make money by adding capital to labour have already been used up. If poor countries lower their barriers to trade and investment, the theory goes, rich foreigners will want to send to over some of their capital.
If this inflow of resources arrives in the form of loans or portfolio investment（组合投资）, it will top up domestic savings and loosen the financial restriction on additional investment by local companies. If it arrives in the form of new foreign-controlled operations，FDI，so much the better；this kind of capital brings technology and skills from abroad packaged along with it, with less financial risk as well. In either case，the addition to investment ought to push incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labour and partly by making labour more productive.
This is why workers in FDI-receiving countries should be in an even better position to profit from integration than workers in FDI-sending countries. Also, with or without inflows of foreign capital, the same gains from trade should apply in developing countries as in rich ones. This gains from trade logic often arouses suspicion, because the benefits seem to come from nowhere. Surely one side or the other must lose. Not so. The benefits that a rich country gets through trade do not come at the expense of its poor country trading partners, or vice versa. Recall that according to the theory, trade is a positive sum game. In all these trades, both sides—exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers can gain.
这是一篇说明文。文章是关于全球化背景下，富裕地区和贫穷地区的受益情况的讨论，结果
是在贸易中，所有涉及到的方方面面都能从中获益。
5. Why are workers in poor countries more likely to benefit from the process of globalization？
A.The can get more chances to gain a good job.
B.They have less to lose and more to gain.
C.They have nothing to lose.
D.They can get more financial aid.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题：由第一段"The answer is that they are even more likely than their rich-country counterparts to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain.”可知，他们富裕国家的同行更可能获得利益，因为他们失去的更少，获得的更多。所以贫穷国家的工人在全球化过程中更可能受益，是因为他们失去的少而获得的多。故选B。
6. What can be the final result of the inflow of the resource？
A.It will top up domestic savings. B.It will loosen the financial restriction.
C.It will push people's incomes up. D.It will bring technology and skills from abroad.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。由第三段“In either case, the addition to investment ought to push incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labour and partly by making labour more productive.”可知，在这两种情况下，投资的增加都应该推动收入的增加，部分是通过劳动力的需求，部分是通过提高劳动力的生产力、由此可以推断出，资源流入的最大可能是推动人们收入增加。故选C.
7. What can we know from the last paragraph？
A. Poor countries get the most profit during the process of trade.
B. Rich countries get profit from trade at poor countries' expense.
C. Poor countries get more profit from trade than rich ones.
D. All aspects involved in the trade can get benefit.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。由最后一段"In all these trades, both sides--exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers can gain.”可知，在所有的贸易中，出口商和进口商双方，借款人和收款方，股东和工人都有收获。即跟贸易相关的所有方面都能受益。故选D.
C
When my old dog developed major health problems, I knew that watching him fail would be painful, but I wasn't prepared for the powerful lessons he'd offer in the last year of his life.
Chance was 14 when the problems started. First, he developed a cancer that left him whistling for breath. Then came cataracts（白内障）in both eyes, arthritis（关节炎）in his legs, and a series of mini-strokes（小中风）that threw off his balance. Any one of these misfortunes would have left me begging for relief, but Chance became calmer as the disabilities piled up.
When leg pain left him frozen on the floor, unable to rise for a quick pat as I came home, he didn't complain. He just lay there patiently, signaling me with his hammering tail, each movement spelling out the value of waiting for the things you want. When his cataracts made steering impossible after dark, he'd stand calmly until I could guide him inside, proving how easy it is to find happiness if you let go of your pride and insecurities and learn to lean on those who love you.
When mini-strokes had him walk unsteadily like a drunk, he taught the value of persistence. For days after each attack, he'd fall as he moved about. Yet again and again he'd try to walk, each day moving a few more steps until finally he was able to get outside and back by himself.
There were lessons in so much of what he did, but the key one surely was the importance of obtaining all the joy possible from each experience whether it's a day lazing under a warm sun or a few minutes appreciating a favorite meal.
For most of our life together, Chance was always rushing ahead, searching out new adventures, then circling back to let me know what lay around the next turn. As an old dog, he did the same thing, using his attitude, instead of his once-fast legs, to show the way.
这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己的狗，Chance，已经年迈，且疾病缠身，却仍使坦然面对生活的故事。从狗的身上，作者也学会要有勇气和尊严的面对年迈。
8. Chance suffered very much from all the diseases he had except for________.
A. having problem with breath B.walking around awkwardly
B. having trouble drinking D.losing his eyesight in darkness
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。由第二段中的“First, he developed a cancer that left him whistling for breath.Then came cataracts（白内障）in both eyes, arthritis（关节炎）in his legs, and a series of mini-strokes
（小中风）that threw off his balance.”可知, 他先是因癌症呼吸急促，然后两只眼都患上了白内障，腿上有了关节炎，一系列的中风让他失去了平衡。因此，Chance患的病有呼吸问题，走路困难和黑暗中石不见，没有喝水问题。故选C.
9.________is the most important lesson the author learned from Chance.
A.Living in the present and enjoying what we have
B.Learning to depend on those who we love and trust
C.That we should expect good things to happen patiently
D.That we should persevere in what we believe is worth trying
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“There were lessons in so much of what he did，but the key one surely was the importance of obtaining all the joy possible from each experience whether it's a day lazing under a warm sun or a few minutes appreciating a favorite meal.”可知，作者从Chance身上学到的最重要的是活在当下，享受我们拥有的。故选A.
10. It is implied in the passage that___________.
A.people might suffer from different diseases when they grow old
B.people could face aging with courage and dignity
C.pets would become calmer for lack of energy in their last days
D.pets and masters should stick together helping each other in difficulty
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。由第三段中的“For days after each attack, he'd fall as he moved about. Yet again and again he'd try to walk, each day moving a few more steps until finally he was able to get outside and back by himself.”可知Chance在面对年迈带来的问题时勇敢面对且有尊严。所以可以推断出，人们也应该勇敢和有尊严的面对年老。故选B.
11. Which of the following words best describes the author's feelings to Chance？
A. Bitter B.Appreciative C.Proud D. Sympathetic
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。由最后一段可知，对我们在一起的大部分时间而言，Chance总是冲在前面，寻找新的冒险，然后绕回来让我知道接下来前面是什么。作为一只老狗，他也做了相同的事情，用他的态度，而不是他曾经快过的腿，给我指路。因此，作者对他的狗应该是感激的（appreciative），故选B。
D
A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-month-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. After all, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing....Right? Perhaps, but some developmental psychologist have argued that this "play"is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.
Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge, it falls in the ground—and, in the process, it brings out important evidence about how physical objects interact; bowls of rice do not float in midst, but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact.
Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby's investigation and the scientist's experiment appear to share the same aim, to learn about the natural world, overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected?).
Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has. For example, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn't like Dove chocolate.
Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws on how children learn, but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seems to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort—the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world—is simply something that comes from our babyhood.
Perhaps evolution provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it, “It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了孩子的玩要和科学家的研究有共同之处。
12. We learn from Paragraph 2 that________.
A. scientists and babies seem to observe the world differently
B. scientists and babies often interact with each other
C. babies are born with the knowledge of object support
D. babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容可知，虽然他们的范围和工具不同，婴儿的调查和科学家的实验似乎有一个共同的目的（了解自然世界），整体的方法（从世界中收集直接的证据），和逻辑（我的观察是我所期望的吗？）出此可知，婴儿们似乎像科学家一样收集证据。故选D项。
13. Children may lean the rules of language by ________.
A.exploring the physical world B.investigating human psychology
C.repeating their own experiments D.observing their parents' behaviors
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容可知，例如，只有通过反复的实验，收集证据，最终推翻一个理论，婴儿才会接受其他人可能有不同的观点和欲望。由此可知，孩子们可以通过重复自己的实验来学习语言规则。故选C项。
14. What is the main idea of the last paragraph？
A. The world may be more clearly explained through children's play.
B. Studying babies' play may lead to a better understanding of science.
C. Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists
D. One's drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows.
【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段段第一句内容可为本段中心句内容可知，将儿童发展视为一项关于儿童如何学习的科学调查，但它也提供了一种对科学和科学家的鼓舞人心的看法，由此可知，最后一段主要表达了研究婴儿的玩要可能有助于更好地理解科学。故选B项。
15. What is the author's tone when he discusses the connection between scientists' research and babies' play？
A.Imposing. B.Confused. C.Confident. D.Objective.
【答案】D
【解析】过阅读文章可知，作者在讨论该内容时使用了比较中立的词汇“perhaps, appear to, may”等表达了并不肯定的语气，以及通过引用其他人的观点“some psychologist suggest/argue that..”，因此可判新作者并没有直接强烈地表达个人观点。因此可知作者的态度是客观的。因此选D项。

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has changed not only our own lives, but the lives of those who live to entertain us. 16. ____________

The Last Robot-Proof Job in America？
You can get most food, such as warm cookies or vodka, to your doorstep in minutes. But try getting a red snapper (红鲷鱼). Until recently, if you could obtain it, it would likely have been pre-frozen and shipped in from overseas.
Anew tech startup is aiming to 21 this situation. Based inside the Fulton Fish Market, a seafood wholesale market, the startup, called FultonfishMarket.com, allows customers across the whole country, both restaurants and individuals, to buy from the market. The fish is shipped 22 ，rather than frozen, thanks to an Amazon advanced logistics system.
Mike Spindler, the company's CEO said recently, “I can get a fish to Waren Buffett, that's as fresh as if he'd walked down to the pier(码头) and bought it that morning.”
There is one thing, 23 , that the sophisticated logistics system cannot do: pick out a fish. If Warren Buffett orders a red snapper, the company needs to 24 that his fish is actually red snapper, and not some other. According to the ocean-conservation organization, more than 20% of the seafood in restaurants and grocery stores in America is 25 . For this task, the company has employed Robert DiGregorio, a forty-seven-year veteran of the business, who possesses a blend of judgement and 26 knowledge that, so far, computers have yet to replicate.
“ 27 the food-safety stuff, our business could be any market from the last three thousand years of human history.” Spindler told me.He is experienced in the 28 business. When he arrived at the fish market in 2014, people were cautious. "They thought selling fish on the Internet was 29 ". DiGregorio said, speaking for the fishmongers(鱼贩). “They didn't see how it could possibly work." Five years ago DeGregorio didn't know how to use a computer, but when the Web-site people arrived at the market, he sensed an opportunity. Together, they've created a human-machine fish-buying operation.
By 1 a.m.each night, the company collects 30 from around the country and sends them to DiGregorio. He heads into the market carrying his tablet computer. The company's algorithms(算法) 31 data on their sources and can tell DiGregorio, for example which stall to go to get the best tuna (金枪鱼). The computer is a“learning system," so if DiGregorio makes a choice it didn't 32 ，it asks."Was the fish not available? Was it damaged?" All that information is fed back in for next time.
Then, what can a fishmonger see that a computer can't? DeGregorio showed me his part of the 33 process. “I'm assessing a few things, he said. First, 34 . Fish should have“nice"slime(粘液). Then, smell. He sniffed the air above the box. “when fish goes had, it smells like ammonia." Besides, to get the best stuff, “Fishmongers have to have a relationship with you. To trust you." He added.
ls he ever 35 being replaced by the learning system of computers? DiGregorio shrugged. "By the time they invent a computer that can do what I can do."he said, "I'll be dead."

Dear Jim
Glad to hear from you. It’s such a coincidence that I know something about Hans Christian Andersen who is honored as "the father of modern fairy tales". He was born in Denmark on April 2, 1805. his father was a poor shoemaker who died in 1816, and his mother was a laundrywoman. Andersen lived in poverty from an early age and wasn’t well educated. But he became interested in the stage performance and dreamed of becoming a singer, an actor or a playwright.
In1819 Andersen began to write. His literary career began in 1822 with his early writing mainly focusing on poems and plays. His great masterpieces include The Ugly Duckling and The Little Match Girl. He died of cancer in 1872. During his whole life he has written168 fairy tales. His spirits overcoming all kinds of difficulties with enormous perseverance still inspires us now.
Hope this will help you know more about this great “father of modern fairy tales”.
Yours

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Thanks to my conservative(保守的) Jewish background, I didn’t believe in angels. That is, not until Christmas Eve of 1979, when an angel brought unexpected joy to my home.
After divorce, my two daughters not only lost the security of a whole family, they also tearfully left behind neighborhood friends, a familiar school, and a large house. These had all been replaced with a narrow two-bedroom apartment in a poorer part of town.
I arranged to take my vocation during my children’s winter school holiday. We spent evenings planning activities: cookie baking, games, a pizza night, and evening car rides to view neighborhood holiday lights. With expectation, they seemed to be in good spirits.
The week before the school break, however, terrible news of family disasters arrived. By Christmas Eve, gloom clouded our vacation plans. An afternoon outing for movie did little to improve our mood.
On returning to our apartment, we were astonished to see a beautiful, six-foot Christmas tree propped(支撑) against our front door. In silent wonder, we looked back and forth, from the tree to one another and around the empty street. Excitement built, and the girls begged to keep the tree.
“Maybe it’s for us,” insisted my older daughter.
“Yeah,” echoed my younger child. “I bet an angel brought it to us!”
I laughed aloud at the idea of an angel bringing a Christmas tree to a Jewish family. Caught up in their happiness, I pronounced the tree “ours.”
We dragged it inside and headed out to the only supermarket in our small town open that late on Christmas Eve. With holiday goods marked down to half price, I gave a nod of approval to a tree stand(底座), two boxes of multicolored balls, a package of six Santa figurines(小雕像), a 100-foot string of mini lights, and one paper angel.
Paragraph 1:
Back home, we moved “our” tree into our tiny living room.______________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The annual winter holiday became a family tradition.___________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________
【参考范文】
Back home, we moved “our”tree into our tiny living room. Cheerfully, the girls painted some paper decorations. With delight that had been absent for months, we started to lay the things we bought from the supermarket around the Christmas tree. We strung the lights, hung the multicolored balls and placed the paper angel on top. Finally, with a girl in each of my arms, we sat in the darkness, attracted by the twinkling Christmas tree lights. There was full of joy in our new home.
The annual winter holiday became a family tradition. Years later we moved to a new house in another town. Girls went to university one by one, found jobs in cities and got married, just leaving me still in the town. But when it was time to celebrate the annual family festival which began from the Christmas of 1979, we all got together happily, enjoying the sweet moments brought by “angels”.
【点拨】
由于我保守的犹太背景，我不相信天使。也就是说，直到1979年的平安夜，一个天使给我的家带来了意想不到的快乐。 离婚后，我的两个女儿不仅失去了整个家庭的安全感，还流着泪离开了邻居朋友、一所熟悉的学校和一栋大房子。这些都变成了镇上较贫困地区的一套狭窄的两居室公寓。我安排在孩子们的寒假期间休假。我们晚上计划活动:烤饼干、游戏、披萨之夜，以及晚上乘车去看附近的灯光节。带着期望，他们似乎情绪很好。 然而，在学校放假的前一周，传来了家庭灾难的可怕消息。到了圣诞夜，我们的假期计划变得暗淡无光。下午出去看电影也没能改善我们的情绪。回到公寓，我们惊讶地看到一棵漂亮的六英尺长的圣诞树靠在我们的前门。在无声的惊奇中，我们来回地看着，从一棵树到另一棵树，再到空荡荡的街道。女孩们兴奋起来，恳求保留这棵树。 “也许是给我们的，”我的大女儿坚持说。 “是的，”我年幼的孩子附和道。“我打赌是天使带给我们的！” 一想到天使会给一个犹太家庭带来一棵圣诞树，我就放声大笑。沉浸在他们的幸福中，我宣布这棵树是我们的，我们把它拖了进去，然后去了我们小镇上唯一一家在圣诞夜这么晚还开门的超市。假日商品减价至半价，我向一个树点头表示同意，我们买了底座，两盒五彩球，一包六个圣诞小雕像，一串100英尺长的迷你灯和一个纸天使。
这篇文章描述了一个离婚后失去房子和安全感的单亲带着自己的两个孩子，搬到一个贫困的小镇上的小公寓中生活。在圣诞节时，一位好心人送来的圣诞树给这个家庭带来了快乐，此后每年的冬假就成了这个家庭的传统节日。
第一段首句Back home, we moved “our” tree into our tiny living room.这一段应该描述一家人快乐地用买来的材料装饰圣诞树，营造出一种幸福的家庭氛围。
第二段首句The annual winter holiday became a family tradition.孩子们长大离去，我们也搬离了狭窄的小公寓，但是每年冬假团聚成了我们家的保留节目，我们在这一天感谢带给我们希望的“天使”。
