A 19-year-old independent artist, Omar Banos, is making’ waves as Cuco, a self-produced multi-instrumentalist and singer. Omar Banos’ approach to music is simple. He just wants to make the music he would listen to himself. Most of the time, that idea shows in his fast hip-hop beats and jazzy electric guitar solos.
Banos, who has released two self-produced albums, has been aspiring to music. He always wanted to play the guitar, and picked it up in high school before expanding his talent to the trumpet and French horn. “I’m very committed to my instruments,” Banos said. “If an instrument is right in front of me, and nobody has time to teach me, I just teach myself.” The same is true for his dreamy production. At 16, Banos got his hands in his first music-editing software, and he has developed a range of techniques.
Banos switches between English and Spanish, singing with his pleasant and warm lilt. “When I’m writing, I just put myself in a place, in a certain time period in my life,” he said, “songs just come out very naturally.”
Though Banos’ soft sound might encourage daydreaming, the independent artist is keeping his feet firmly on the ground during his breakthrough. “I feel I’m watching myself take off, but my brain is still on the ground,” he said. “This all happened so quickly. I didn’t even have time to get ready!”
Banos adds that despite his success, he isn’t always recognized as Cuco. “I will wear Vans, and sometimes people will get confused. They will ask whether I’m sure I’m there to perform. I guess I don’t look like an artist,” he said.
24. Why did Banos make music in the beginning?
A. To entertain himself. B. To kill his dull time.
C. To make himself well-known. D. To improve his skill in music.
25. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Banos’ high school life. B. Banos’ learning methods.
C. Banos’ achievements in music. D. Banos’ great interest in music.
26. Which of the following can best describe Banos?
A. Honest and careful. B. Efficient and faithful.
C. Creative and low-key. D. Devoted and warm-hearted.
27. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Banos has made himself take off B. Banos will continue daydreaming
C. A genius learned music in high school D. A famous singer keeps pursuing his dream
【答案】24. A 25. D 2 6. C 27. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了19岁的独立艺术家Omar Banos以自己制作的多乐器演奏家和歌手Cuco的身份掀起了一阵浪潮，还介绍了他在音乐方面的兴趣以及虽然Banos在音乐上取得了成功，但他依然脚踏实地，追逐自己的梦想。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“A 19-year-old independent artist, Omar Banos, is making’ waves as Cuco, a self-produced multi-instrumentalist and singer. Omar Banos’ approach to music is simple. He just wants to make the music he would listen to himself.(19岁的独立艺术家Omar Banos以自己制作的多乐器演奏家和歌手Cuco的身份掀起了一阵浪潮。Omar Banos的音乐方法很简单。他只想做自己能听的音乐)”可推知，Banos创作音乐的初衷是为了制作他自己喜欢听的音乐，即为了自娱自乐。故选A。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Banos, who has released two self-produced albums, has been aspiring to music. He always wanted to play the guitar, and picked it up in high school before expanding his talent to the trumpet and French horn. “I’m very committed to my instruments,” Banos said. “If an instrument is right in front of me, and nobody has time to teach me, I just teach myself.” The same is true for his dreamy production. At 16, Banos got his hands in his first music-editing software, and he has developed a range of techniques.( Banos已经发行了两张自己制作的专辑，对音乐充满了热情。他一直想弹吉他，高中时开始学吉他，后来才开始学小号和法国圆号。Banos说：“我对我的乐器非常忠诚，如果乐器就在我面前，没人有时间教我，我就自学。”他的梦幻作品也是如此。 16岁时，Banos得到了他的第一个音乐编辑软件，并开发了一系列技术)”可知，第二段讲述的是Banos在音乐方面有极大的兴趣。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“A 19-year-old independent artist, Omar Banos, is making’ waves as Cuco, a self-produced multi-instrumentalist and singer. Omar Banos’ approach to music is simple. He just wants to make the music he would listen to himself.(19岁的独立艺术家Omar Banos以自己制作的多乐器演奏家和歌手Cuco的身份掀起了一阵浪潮。Omar Banos的音乐方法很简单。他只想做自己能听的音乐)”以及第二段中“If an instrument is right in front of me, and nobody has time to teach me, I just teach myself. (如果乐器就在我面前，没人有时间教我，我就自学)”可知Banos自学乐器和创作歌曲，说明他是个有创造力的人。再结合倒数第二段中“Though Banos’ soft sound might encourage daydreaming, the independent artist is keeping his feet firmly on the ground during his breakthrough. (尽管Banos柔和的声音可能会让人产生遐想，但这位独立艺术家在取得突破的过程中始终脚踏实地)”可知，Banos在成名以后依然脚踏实地，可见他还是个低调的人。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A 19-year-old independent artist, Omar Banos, is making’ waves as Cuco, a self-produced multi-instrumentalist and singer. (19岁的独立艺术家Omar Banos以自己制作的多乐器演奏家和歌手Cuco的身份掀起了一阵浪潮)”结合文章还介绍了他在音乐方面的兴趣以及虽然Banos在音乐上取得了成功，但他依然脚踏实地，追逐自己的梦想。故D选项“一位著名的歌手一直在追求他的梦想”最符合文章标题。故选D。

Genealogy, or researching your family tree, is a hobby that can rapidly develop into an obsession. Before you start looking for your own ancestors, read this advice from genealogist Maria McLeod.
The first question to ask yourself is why you want to research your family tree. Genealogy is not about discovering that you are the lost prince or princess of an unknown kingdom. It’s about finding more about yourself. For most people the important question is “Why am I like I am?” You might not look like other members of your immediate family and you want to know where your green eyes or curly hair come from. You may be curious about why you have such a quick temper. You may even be suffering from a medical condition and want to know if something in your genetic makeup has caused it.
Another common motivation for researching your family tree is that you plan to visit the place that your ancestors came from and you secretly hope that you will find some long lost cousins with whom you can share your memories. There can be few more exciting things than meeting a distant cousin who is living on the other side of the globe and finding that she looks just like your younger sister. But you should also bear in mind that they may not necessarily want to have anything to do with you. Sometimes there are skeletons in the cupboard that you and your branch of the family are unaware of, but which are still fresh in the minds of your more distant relatives.
Once you are clear about your motivations, you need to take a moment to think about just how many ancestors you might have and how far back you intend to go. You have, no doubt, thought about your parents’ parents and your parents’ parents’ parents. But go back ten generations and the picture becomes much more complicated. You can work it out for yourself. You may be descended(遗传) from no fewer than 1,024 people through ten generations. This can mean that you spend hours going through official records, either in person at the records office or on the Internet. Are you prepared for such a huge task?
28. What might be Maria Mcleod’s first piece of advice be?
A. Be prepared to accept your bad temper.
B. Don’t expect to find lovely relatives.
C Be prepared to find out your hidden health problems.
D. Don’t expect to find out you are a member of a royal family.
29. Why are some relatives unwilling to meet you?
A. You may bring back bad memories.
B. They find it disturbing to entertain you.
C. They suspect you of having wrong motives.
D. You could remind them of their lost loved ones.
30. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Who your great grandparents are.
B. When you can finish your huge task.
C. Why researching a family tree is complex.
D. How many people you are descended from.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Uncovering family secrets: do you dare?
B. The science of genealogy: new developments
C. Expert opinions on researching your family past
D. A step-by-step guide to researching your family tree
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了系谱学家玛丽亚·麦克劳德对于研究家谱的一些建议。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Genealogy is not about discovering that you are the lost prince or princess of an unknown kingdom. It’s about finding more about yourself. ”可知，家谱并不是要发现你是一个未知王国失落的王子或公主。而是为了找到更多关于你自己的东西。所以玛丽亚·麦克劳德的第一条建议是D选项“别指望发现你是皇室成员。故选D项。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But you should also bear in mind that they may not necessarily want to have anything to do with you. Sometimes there are skeletons in the cupboard that you and your branch of the family are unaware of, but which are still fresh in the minds of your more distant relatives.”可知，但你也应该记住，他们不一定想和你有任何关系。有时候，你和你的家族中有一些不为人知的不可告人的秘密，但这些秘密在你的远房亲戚们的头脑中仍然是新鲜的。所以为什么有些亲戚不愿意见你是因为你可能会带来不好的回忆。故选A项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“But go back ten generations and the picture becomes much more complicated. ”但回溯十代人，情况就复杂得多了。再根据“You may be descended(遗传) from no fewer than 1,024 people through ten generations. ”你可能是不少于1024人的后裔，历经十代。所以根据上下文的语境可以判断出，it指代的是“你是多少人的后裔”。故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Genealogy, or researching your family tree, is a hobby that can rapidly develop into an obsession. Before you start looking for your own ancestors, read this advice from genealogist Maria McLeod.”可知，研究族谱，或者研究你的家谱，是一种爱好，可以迅速发展成为一种痴迷的爱好。在你开始寻找你自己的祖先之前，看看系谱学家玛丽亚·麦克劳德的建议以及下文对建议的具体说明。可知，短文的最佳标题为“专家关于研究家族过去的建议”。故选C项。
【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为：
① 定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。
② 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly,the same as,but,however,while,on the other hand,since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。
③ 语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。
④ 语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。
⑤ 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。
根据最后一段“But go back ten generations and the picture becomes much more complicated. ”但回溯十代人，情况就复杂得多了。再根据“You may be descended(遗传) from no fewer than 1,024 people through ten generations. ”你可能是不少于1024人的后裔，历经十代。所以根据上下文的语境可以判断出，it指代的是“你是多少人的后裔”。故小题3选D项。
D
Buying clothes for a special event, hiding the price tickets and returning them to the store the next day has for years been the method of economical shoppers. Today people are doing it just for social media.
A survey conducted by the credit card company Barclaycard revealed that nearly one in ten UK shoppers admits to buying clothing only to post photos on social media for likes. After the “outfit (装束) of the day” makes it online, they return it to the store. According to Barclaycard, the “try before you buy” policy of online retailers (零售商) where people pay for clothing they order online after they try it on at home could be contributing to this rising trend.
But the rise of social media has meant that everyone, not just superstars, expects to build and maintain a personal brand. Since we’re documenting our lives and posting them online for public judgment, getting caught in the same outfits more than once should be avoided. And the cost of all those outfits of the day adds up, which makes returning a popular way.
There are brands that tailor clothes specifically for social media shoppers, like Fashion Nova. “These are clothes made for social media: meant to be worn once, photographed and abandoned,” Allison P. Davis wrote in her report about the brand. Another favorite of the social media age is Rent the Runway, which lets customers rent designer clothing for a fee.
Some, however, are moving in the opposite direction. Groups promoting “work uniforms” have increased greatly in recent years, aiming to free women from “the annoyance of clothing decisions”. The concept of the “capsule wardrobe” (胶囊衣柜), which calls for purchasing a small number of high-quality pieces instead of lots of trendy throwaway clothes, is also making a comeback.
32. What does the survey by Barclaycard indicate?
A. Some Britons send outfits back after shoots.
B. Britons try on clothes before online purchases.
C Britons follow the fashion stars closely.
D. Some Britons over-order and return clothes.
33. What’s Fashion Nova’s special service?
A. Renting chargeable designer clothes.
B. Offering customers single-use clothes.
C. Creating unique shopping experiences.
D. Helping shoppers improve their clothing style.
34. What’s the idea behind the “capsule wardrobe”?
A. Better fewer, but better.
B. Less addition, but more enjoyment.
C. Less uniform and more freedom.
D. More choices and less annoyance.
35. What’s the purpose of the author to write the text?
A. To compare different wearing trends.
B. To criticize the “try before you buy” policy.
C. To advocate buying high-quality clothes.
D. To introduce Britain’s new wearing trend.

【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。讲述的是，在英国一种新的穿衣潮流出现，即一些人为了维护在社交媒体上的形象，经常购买衣服，穿上拍照后就退货。本文介绍了这种潮流出现的原因，服装品牌对应的措施，以及与之相反的穿衣趋势。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A survey conducted by the credit card company Barclaycard revealed that nearly one in ten UK shoppers admits to buying clothing only to post photos on social media for likes. ‘outfit (装束) of the day’ makes it online, they return it to the store. (巴克莱信用卡公司开展的一项调查显示，近十分之一的英国购物者承认自己买衣服只是为了把照片发到社交媒体上获得点赞。‘当天的服装’在网上完成后，他们会把衣服退回商店。)”可知，一些英国人在拍摄后把衣服送回去。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“There are brands that tailor clothes specifically for social media shoppers, like Fashion Nova.(有些品牌专门为社交媒体购物者定制服装，比如Fashion Nova。)”以及Allison P. Davis所写“These are clothes made for social media: meant to be worn once, photographed and abandoned.(这些衣服是为社交媒体设计的：穿一次、拍照和丢弃。)”可知，Fashion Nova的特别服务是为顾客提供一次性衣服。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The concept of the ‘capsule wardrobe’, which calls for purchasing a small number of high-quality pieces instead of lots of trendy throwaway clothes, is also making a comeback.(‘胶囊衣橱’的概念也正在回归，‘胶囊衣橱’指的是购买少量高品质的衣服，而不是大量购买流行的一次性衣服。)”可知，胶囊衣橱”背后的理念是越少越好。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述是，在英国一种新的穿衣潮流出现，一些人为了维护在社交媒体上的形象，经常购买衣服，穿上拍照后就退货。本文介绍了这种潮流出现的原因，服装品牌对应的措施，以及另外的穿衣趋势。所以，本文的写作目的是向读者客观地介绍英国新的穿衣潮流。故选D项。
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Both IQ and EQ are considered important to our career success. ____36____ Enter adaptability quotient(AQ), a subjective set of qualities loosely defined as the ability to improve in an environment of fast and frequent change.
Every profession will require adaptability and flexibility. Say you are an accountant. Your IQ gets you through the examinations. Your EQ helps your connect with an interviewer, land a job, and develop relationships with clients and colleagues. ____37____ All three quotients are somewhat complementary(互补的), since they all help you solve problems and therefore adapt. An ideal candidate possesses all three, but not everyone does. ____38____ While there is no definite method of measuring adaptability like an IQ test, companies are changing their recruitment (招聘) processes to help identify people who may be high in it.
Natalie Fratto suggests three ways AQ might show in potential candidates: if they can picture possible versions of the future by asking what if questions; if they can unlearn information to challenge conventional wisdom; and if they enjoy exploration or seeking out new experiences.
____39____ First, limit distractions and learn to focus so that you can determine what adaptations to make. Second, ask uncomfortable questions to develop courage and normalize fear. Third, be curious about things that fascinate you by having more conversations rather than Googling the ready answer.
Over the next three years, 120 million people may need to be reskilled because of automation, according to a 2019 IBM study. We may not all be comfortable with the pace of change-but we can prepare. ____40____
A. AQ is now increasingly being sought at the hiring level.
B. One good thing about AQ is that experts say you can work to develop it.
C. The ability to learn, change, grow, experiment will be the key.
D. This is because an algorithm(算法)can do these tasks faster and more accurately than a human.
E. But today, as technology redefines how we work, the skills we need to improve in the job market are developing too.
F. Having IQ but no EQ would leave you struggling to embrace new ways of working using your existing skills.
G. Then, when systems change or aspects of work are automated, you will need AQ to accommodate this innovation and adapt to new ways of performing your role.
【答案】36. E 37. G 38. A 39. B 40. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明性论述文。文章引进了新概念逆境商数AQ，从现象、原因和做法等方面对AQ进行分析，呼吁大家提高适应环境的能力。
【36题详解】
根据前文“Both IQ and EQ are considered important to our career success.（智商和情商对我们事业的成功都很重要。）”以及后文“Enter adaptability quotient(AQ), a subjective set of qualities loosely defined as the ability to improve in an environment of fast and frequent change.（适应能力商数”(简称AQ)，是一组主观素质，大致定义为能够在快速频繁变化的环境中不断改进的能力。）”空白处前后句形成一定的对比，前面为大家熟知的IQ和EQ，后面引出新的AQ，E选项“But today, as technology redefines how we work, the skills we need to improve in the job market are developing too.(但今天，随着技术重新定义我们的工作方式，我们在就业市场上需要改进的技能也在发展。)”符合语境，E项developing too即对应着在前文的基础上更进一步，improve原词重现。故选E。
【37题详解】
根据前文“Say you are an accountant. Your IQ gets you through the examinations. Your IQ gets you through the examinations. Your EQ helps your connect with an interviewer, land a job, and develop relationships with clients and colleagues.（假设你是一名会计。你的智商能让你通过考试。情商有助于你与面试官联系、找到工作、与客户和同事发展关系。）”前文分别介绍了IQ和EQ在工作中的作用，所以空白处应该是AQ在工作中的作用，G选项“Then, when systems change or aspects of work are automated, you will need AQ to accommodate this innovation and adapt to new ways of performing your role.”（然后，当系统改变或工作的某些方面自动化时，您将需要AQ来适应这种创新并适应执行您的角色的新方法。）符合语境，故选G。
【38题详解】
根据前文“An ideal candidate possesses all three, but not everyone does.（理想的候选人三者都具备，但并不是每个人都具备。）”以及后文“While there is no definite method of measuring adaptability like an IQ test, companies are changing their recruitment (招聘) processes to help identify people who may be high in it.（虽然还没有像智商测试那样确定的衡量适应性的方法，但公司正在改变他们的招聘流程，以帮助识别那些可能在AQ处于较高水平的人。）”可知，前文写这三商并非每人都有，后面写公司改变招募方式来确定谁是高适应性的人，说明AQ现在可能更加重要。A选项“AQ is now increasingly being sought at the hiring level.”（AQ现在在招聘层面上越来越受欢迎。）符合语境，且A项hiring对应recruitment。故选A。
【39题详解】
空白处在这一段开头，为该段的总起句，根据后文“First, limit distractions and learn to focus so that you can determine what adaptations to make. Second, ask uncomfortable questions to develop courage and normalize fear.

第二节（满分25分）
67. 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。
As a mountain, 1,642-foot Squaw Peak isn’t particularly challenging. But its inviting views of western Massachusetts have tricked hikers to its steep (陡峭的) and slippery cliffs, resulting in countless injuries and even deaths.
Henry Grant, a freshman at Ithaca College, was well aware of the danger of Squaw Peak. Thus he stayed ten feet from the edge while waiting for his mother to catch up to him one day in August 2019, He watched 15 or so other hikers enjoy the scenery; one hiker, around 60 and dressed in pink, was admiring the view over the lip of the cliff with her husband.
When Grant’s mother rejoined him, the two turned to continue on their way. Suddenly, he heard a thump (撞击声), and another thump. Then he heard something frightening: “Paula! Paula!” a man yelled wildly. Grant turned around. The woman in pink was nowhere to be seen. She’d fallen off the side of the mountain.
Several hikers immediately started looking for her, but their view was blocked by trees. Grant told his mother, “I hate to say this, but they’re probably going to find a body.” Uncertain they could help, Grant and his mother headed down the trail.
But when he saw hikers still searching, he decided to lend a hand. After assuring his mother that he would be safe, he made his way down the mountain alone, hoping he wasn’t too late.
After 15 minutes of pushing past the brush and slipping down the trail, Grant spotted a figure about 25 feet above him. She was dressed in pink, in a kneeling position on a small rocky outcropping (突出处).
The woman had fallen about 75, feet. Amazingly, she was alive. “Paula!” Grant shouted. “Paula! Is that you?” The woman barely responded. She was hurt and her mind was not so clear. Grant called 911 to report her location. He waited where he was for a bit, but she kept trying to move, and every time she moved, she slipped a little more.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Afraid that she might slip off, Grant crawled （爬）until he reached Paula.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
About 35 minutes later, first rescuers arrived.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Afraid that she might slip off, Grant crawled （爬）until he reached Paula. Paula's mind is still fogged and she instinctively wanted to run away when she sensed someone approaching because she didn't know if it was an animal or a person.Worried that she might fall, Grant continued to offer words of comfort until Paula recognized what he was saying and quieted down. Grant told her that he had called the police and that they needed to stay where they were and waited for help, and that he would be here with her the whole time.
About 35 minutes later, first rescuers arrived. Grant heard footsteps and rescuers calling, and responded as loudly as he could. Rescuers quickly found them. Rescuers took Paula to a car on a stretcher and took her to a hospital for emergency treatment. Luckily, Paula recovered after a while. Paula's husband went with her to thank Grant for saving his life. Grant felt that what the climb had taught him was how fragile and precious life is.

Then I remembered I had had it with me on the golf course the day before. I had two hundred dollars in it, my Visa card, and my driver’s license. I decided to go back to the golf course and try to get my wallet back. I needed to fill up the car with gas to the course, but luckily, I had a bank card at home. When I finally got there, I asked around the changing room, but no one had seen it. Then I asked the people in the restaurant and they didn’t have it, either. My last chance was the kids outside who wash the golf carts. And they told me one of workers found it when he was cutting the grass in the morning. I offered to treat the guy to a round of golf, but he said he plays there for free, anyway. Finally, he said if I came back, I could buy him a beer. I told him he had a deal.
