Have you heard of Robert Bateman? He worked late the evening of March 31,1992. He studied his painting of three lions. Bateman decided to add some finishing touches. As he turned away from the canvas, he smiled, imagining the reaction of his staff the next morning. What an April Fools’ joke! The next day, when his assistants came to the studio, they were shocked. What had the famous artist done to his masterpiece? The lions had bat ears!
World-famous wildlife artist Robert Bateman lives in British Columbia, Canada. On working days, he might be found hiking on the mountain, sketching birds and animals. Bateman spends his days observing, studying, and painting wildlife.
As a boy, Bateman explored the woods and fields around his home in Toronto, Ontario. By the 1970s, he was well-known for his realistic paintings of the natural world.
When he’s not in the woods or mountains, Bateman can be found at home in front of his easel (画架). He still gets a thrill out of seeing an eagle. Sometimes, Bateman does not even have to leave home to find an eagle. They come to him. Eagles rest on a dead tree that Bateman “planted” in rock in front of his house.
Bateman’s most exciting place to find subjects to paint is in Africa. “Every day in Africa is thrilling,” he says. “There are places in Africa that look like the Garden of Eden (伊甸园).”
As for the bat ears on the lions, Bateman painted them on with watercolor paints. After everyone had a good laugh, he simply washed the ears away.
4. Why did Bateman add bat ears to the lion?
A. Because he was dissatisfied with his painting.
B. Because he wanted to joke with his staff members.
C. Because he would like to make his painting more attractive.
D. Because he was eager to have a better study on his painting.
5. Why does Bateman hike on the mountain?
A. To look for fun. B. To research and paint wildlife.
C. To take care of wildlife. D. To search for new species of wildlife.
6. What can we learn about Bateman?
A. He lived in the UK many years ago.
B. He spends quite a lot of time in hunting eagles.
C. His paintings do not look like real things in life.
D. He is particularly fond of living in Africa.
7. Which words can describe Bateman?
A. Crazy and cruel. B. Naughty and unkind.
C. Humorous and hardworking. D. Imaginative and impractical.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了世界著名的野生动物艺术家罗伯特·贝特曼的一生，文中既对他专注于绘画的人生做了记录，又特地介绍了他给狮子画上蝙蝠耳朵的轶事，向读者展现了一位上进又不失幽默的画家形象。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“he smiled, imagining the reaction of his staff the next morning. What an April Fools’ joke!”（他微笑着，想象着第二天早上他的助手们的反应。这真是个好玩的愚人节玩笑！）可知，他给狮子画上蝙蝠耳朵，是想要跟画室里的工作人员开玩笑（Because he wanted to joke with his staff members），故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“he might be found hiking on the mountain, sketching birds and animals. Bateman spends his days observing, studying, and painting wildlife.”（他可能会在山上徒步旅行，画鸟兽。贝特曼每天都在观察、研究和绘画野生动物）可知，他去山上徒步的目的是研究和作画野生动物（To research and paint wildlife），故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文倒数第二段“Bateman’s most exciting place to find subjects to paint is in Africa.”（最令贝特曼兴奋的寻找作画对象的地方是非洲）可知，他尤其喜欢待在非洲（He is particularly fond of living in Africa），符合原文，故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。本题要求根据文中介绍，选出最契合贝特曼形象的形容词。根据全文第一段“He smiled, imagining the reaction of his staff the next morning. What an April Fools’ joke!”（他微笑着，想象着第二天早上他的助手们的反应。这真是个好玩的愚人节玩笑），他给狮子画上蝙蝠耳朵，准备给画室成员送上“愚人节玩笑”，可看出他是个有点小幽默的画家（humorous），此外他作为著名的现实主义画家，“Bateman spends his days observing, studying, and painting wildlife”（将自己的时间投入于观察、研究和为野生动物作画之中），可知他是个努力上进的画家（hardworking），C项两个形容词契合原文的介绍，故选C。
C
Sales of small cakes have overtaken (超过) big ones for the first time, according to researchers at Mintel — but is the cupcake bubble starting to burst? Size, they say, matters. And when it comes to cakes, we Brits have for years desired for the biggest, richest, gooiest creations we could lay our sticky fingers on. Towering chocolate gateaux dominate bakery windows.
But thanks to the latest baking phenomenon, big is no longer best. Figures released today show that, for the first time, sales of small cakes have overtaken those of large cakes, with bite-sized baked goods growing in popularity by 19 per cent since 2011. According to researchers at Mintel, our taste for large cakes has declined, with sales dropping 3 per cent in two years.
So what’s behind our passion for miniatures — and is it the end of the traditional, full-sized sponge? It all started with the cupcake. When the Magnolia Bakery opened in New York in 1996, the nice iced sponges were seen as treats for children’s parties. Then, in 2000, Carrie Bradshaw, star of the city, ate a pink cupcake on TV — and everything changed. In the months and years that followed, demand for the tiny cakes exploded — and in 2005, Sprinkles, the world’s first cupcakes — only bakery, opened in Beverly Hills. The trend soon spread worldwide.
“Cupcakes became so popular because people wanted an individual treat,” explains Edd Ainbet, former winner of the BBC series The Great British Bake Off. “It’s a little something naughty — a small price for a small mouthful. And it’s a mini hobby just for you; not like cutting a slice out of a big cake that you share. They’re cute and playful, like tiny pieces of art.”
8. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. Small cakes are always the best.
B. Brits prefer small cakes to big ones today.
C. The sales of small cakes dropped 3 per cent.
D. Big cakes have always enjoyed larger market share than small ones.
9. What does the underlined word “miniatures” refer to?
A. Tiny cakes. B. Full-sized sponge. C. Large cakes. D. Birthday cakes.
10. What can we learn about Bradshaw ?
A. He ordered a pink cupcake.
B. He opened Sprinkles in Beverly Hills.
C. He made a successful ad for cupcakes.
D. He played a great role in making cupcakes.
11. What is Edd Ainbet’s attitude towards cupcakes?
A. Critical. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Favorable.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。讲述现在人们对小蛋糕的喜爱程度已超过大蛋糕。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。有文章第二段中“Figures released today show that, for the first time, sales of small cakes have overtaken those of large cakes, with bite-sized baked goods growing in popularity by 19 per cent since 2011. According to researchers at Mintel, our taste for large cakes has declined, with sales dropping 3 per cent in two years.”（今天公布的数据显示，小蛋糕的销量首次超过大蛋糕，自2011年以来，一口大小的烘焙食品的受欢迎程度增长了19%。Mintel的研究人员称，我们对大蛋糕的口味已经下降，两年内销售额下降了3%。）可知，研究结果表明，在英国，人们对大蛋糕喜爱度下降，而对小蛋糕的喜爱在快速增长，并小蛋糕销量超过大蛋糕，所以可推出在英国比起大蛋糕，人们更喜欢小蛋糕。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“Figures released today show that, for the first time, sales of small cakes have overtaken those of large cakes, with bite-sized baked goods growing in popularity by 19 per cent since 2011.”（今天公布的数据显示，小蛋糕的销量首次超过大蛋糕，自2011年以来，一口大小的烘焙食品的受欢迎程度增长了19%。）以及第三段“It all started with the cupcake. ”（一切都是从纸杯蛋糕开始的。）可知，现在人们对小蛋糕的喜爱程度在不断增加，以及后文所说的纸杯蛋糕也是属于小蛋糕，所以划线单词这句应指我们对小蛋糕的热情，miniatures 应指Tiny cakes（小型蛋糕）。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“Then, in 2000, Carrie Bradshaw, star of the city, ate a pink cupcake on TV — and everything changed. In the months and years that followed, demand for the tiny cakes exploded”（然后，在2000年，城市之星Carrie Bradshaw肖在电视上吃了一个粉红色的纸杯蛋糕——一切都变了。在接下来的几个月和几年里，对这种小蛋糕的需求激增。）可知，Carrie Bradshaw成功为小蛋糕打广告，促使了小蛋糕的流行。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“It’s a little something naughty — a small price for a small mouthful. And it’s a mini hobby just for you; not like cutting a slice out of a big cake that you share. They’re cute and playful, like tiny pieces of art.”（这是有点淘气的东西——一小口的价格很低。这只是你的一个小爱好；不像从你分享的大蛋糕上切下一片。它们既可爱又好玩，就像一件件小的艺术品。）可以推断，Edd Ainbet对小蛋糕的态度是赞许的。故选D项。
D
Around 1,500 endangered and rare languages are at a high risk of being lost in the next century, according to a study published on Thursday in Nature Ecology and Evolution.
The study found that around half of the world’s 7,000 documented languages are endangered. It also found that greater road density was associated with higher risk of endangerment.
“It’s as if roads are helping dominant languages overwhelm other smaller languages,” co-author and professor at the Australian National University Lindell Bromham said in a press release.
Greater endangerment was also associated with higher average years of schooling, suggesting that formal education contributes to loss of language diversity. “Mainstream education in a dominant language can lead to loss of competence in minority languages. We urgently need to invest in bilingual (双语的) education and develop programs that allow communities to bring their heritage language into schools, to make sure the language stays strong and is passed on to future generations,” Bromhall told CBS News.
The study found that unless there is intervention (干预), the world could lose at least one language per month, with language loss three times more in the next 40 years. The authors recommended “urgent investment” in community-based programs like bilingual education programs and language documentation. And some of the recommendations that experts made 20 years ago are still the same: governments should remove bans on languages and adults should encourage children to speak other languages — including their native language.
“Each language is a reflection on the creativity and inventiveness of human minds, a beautiful and fascinating solution to complex communication challenges,” Bromham told CBS News. “Most importantly, for many people, language symbolizes cultural identity and belonging. Many groups mourn (悼念) the decline of unique languages and long for competency in languages no longer spoken.”
12. What was related with higher risk of language endangerment?
A. Less road density.
B. Unpopularity among language learners.
C. Greater competence of small languages.
D. Higher average years of schooling.
13. What should government do to preserve language diversity?
A Stop bans on languages.
B. Create more language education programs.
C. Put more investment in language research.
D. Encourage people to speak other languages.
14. What do we know from the text?
A. Investment is needed in bilingual education.
B. Language loss results in mainstream education.
C. Half of the world’s current languages are lost.
D. Dominant languages are symbols of cultural identity.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The causes of language loss. B. The high risk of language loss.
C. The measures of language protection. D. The importance of language diversity.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。一项研究表明，约1500种濒危和珍稀语言存在着消失的高风险性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Greater endangerment was also associated with higher average years of schooling, suggesting that formal education contributes to loss of language diversity.(更严重的濒危状态也与更高的平均受教育年限有关，这表明正规教育是语言多样性丧失的原因之一)”可知，更高的平均受教育年限与更高的语言濒危风险有关。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“governments should remove bans on languages and adults should encourage children to speak other languages — including their native language.(政府应该取消对语言的禁令，成年人应该鼓励儿童说其他语言——包括他们的母语)”可知，为了保护语言的多样性，政府部门应该取消对语言的禁令。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“We urgently need to invest in bilingual (双语的) education and develop programs that allow communities to bring their heritage language into schools, to make sure the language stays strong and is passed on to future generations,(我们迫切需要投资双语教育，开发允许群体将其传统语言带入学校的项目，确保语言保持强大，并传递给后代)”可推知，双语教育需要投资。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Around 1,500 endangered and rare languages are at a high risk of being lost in the next century, according to a study published on Thursday in Nature Ecology and Evolution.(根据周四发表在《自然生态与进化》杂志上的一项研究，大约1500种濒危和珍稀语言在下个世纪很有可能消失)”可知，本文主要讲述的是语言消失的高风险性。故选B。

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。
When the coronavirus pandemic forced people to work out at home, doctors were seeing patients coming in with various home-gym-inspired injuries. So, how to be safe during home workouts? ____16____
Check your workout space for potential danger
____17____ But that doesn’t mean you can just start jumping around in your living room, basement or garage. Make sure you give yourself more open space than you think you need so you don’t hit anything while moving — for example, lunging and running into a coffee table.
Dress for (workout) success
Working out in your pajamas might be convenient, but wearing cozy clothes can limit your movements. Make sure you wear sneakers if you choose to wear anything, since it’s easy to slip or trip when wearing socks or slippers. ____18____ Experts say there are benefits to walking around barefoot, such as a boost in foot strength, stability and balance.
____19____
Hiring a personal trainer might seem unnecessary in this new world of online classes and workout videos. But it can be a smart investment. While there is nothing wrong with online classes and videos, the instructor can’t see you and evaluate your form. Plus, sometimes you cannot understand what the instructor is saying.
Warm up, cool down, don’t overdo it
It’s important to warm up before exercising, cool down afterward when trying something new. ____20____ For active workouts, dynamic stretches such as leg swings as your warm-up and static stretching afterward is a good choice. For strength training, precede your workout with several light repetitions of the exercise you are about to do.
A. Spring for a personal trainer.
B. But going barefoot can work, too.
C. They can benefit you in many aspects.
D. A good warm-up/cool-down routine depends on what you’ll be doing.
E. Here are several things you can do to help ensure you stay injury-free.
F. Most people don’t have a home gym, nor the space or money to create one.
G. People cannot go to the gym for workout during the coronavirus pandemic period.
【答案】16. E 17. F 18. B 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。针对冠状病毒大流行迫使人们在家锻炼情况，关于怎样更好在家健身，作者给出几点建议。
【16题详解】
由上文“When the coronavirus pandemic forced people to work out at home, doctors were seeing patients coming in with various home-gym-inspired injuries. So, how to be safe during home workouts? （当冠状病毒大流行迫使人们在家锻炼时，医生们看到患者带着各种家庭健身房引发的损伤进来。那么，如何在家庭锻炼中保持安全呢？）”可知，作者就怎样安全家庭健身提问。再根据后文可知，给出了四个建议。所以结合语境，E项“Here are several things you can do to help ensure you stay injury-free.（这里有几件事你可以做，以帮助确保你没有受伤。）”有承上启下作用，切题。故选E项。
【17题详解】
由上文“Check your workout space for potential danger（检查你的锻炼地方是否存在潜在危险）”可知，这段主要讲的是健身地方，再根据下文“But that doesn’t mean you can just start jumping around in your living room, basement or garage. （但这并不意味着你可以在客厅、地下室或车库里蹦蹦跳跳。）”可知，这里还是在讲选择什么地方作为健身地方。所以F项“Most people don’t have a home gym, nor the space or money to create one.（大多数人都没有家庭健身房，也没有空间或资金来创建一个。）”切合语境，且能和下文形成对比。故选F项。
【18题详解】
由“Dress for (workout) success（为（锻炼）成功而着装）”可知这段主要讲着装。再由下文“Experts say there are benefits to walking around barefoot, such as a boost in foot strength, stability and balance.（专家们说，赤脚锻炼有很多好处，比如提高脚的力量、稳定性和平衡性。）”可知赤脚锻炼有很多好处。而B项“But going barefoot can work, too.（但是赤脚也可以。）”中barefoot与后文对应，有启下作用。故选B项。
19题详解】
由下文“Hiring a personal trainer might seem unnecessary in this new world of online classes and workout videos. But it can be a smart investment.（在这个网络课程和锻炼视频的新世界里，雇佣私人教练似乎是不必要的。但这可能是一项明智的投资。）”可知，这段只是讲的是雇佣私人教练。而A项“Spring for a personal trainer.（支付一个私人教练）”切题。故选A项。
【20题详解】
由“Warm up, cool down, don’t overdo it（热身，散热，不要过度）”可知这段主要讲怎样热身和锻炼后散热。再由后文“ For active workouts, dynamic stretches such as leg swings as your warm-up and static stretching afterward is a good choice. For strength training, precede your workout with several light repetitions of the exercise you are about to do.（对于积极的锻炼，热身时进行腿部摆动等动态拉伸，之后进行静态拉伸是一个不错的选择。对于力量训练，在训练之前，先进行几次轻微的重复训练。）”可知文章就不同目的锻炼在进不同类型热身讲解。而D项“A good warm-up/cool-down routine depends on what you’ll be doing.（一个好的热身/冷却程序取决于你要做什么。）”有启下作用，切题。故选D项。

第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
We rely on news ____36____ (learn) about things around us. However, reports on the same events contain different information. That’s because journalists may have different ____37____ (priority). Another reason why news reports on the same event may contradict each other ____38____ terms of factual details is that events in the real world are usually complicated and ____39____ (constant) changing. When we come across such factual differences in news reports, we should not rush to the conclusion that the news report gives false information. Instead, check when the reports ____40____ (complete). Because news reports written at different stages of an event could contain different information as news facts are brought to light. Therefore, ____41____ (check) different sources enables us to draw ____42____ more informed conclusion.
To sum up, it is wise to read news reports written from ____43____ (vary) perspectives and at different stages, which ____44____ (bring) us a more accurate understanding of a situation. We also need to be critical about the information we receive and remember not to blindly trust ____45____ we have read.
【答案】36. to learn
37 priorities
38. in 39. constantly
40. were completed
41. checking
42. a 43. various/varied
44. brings 45. what
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了我们依靠新闻来了解周围的事物，但是从不同角度阅读新闻报道是明智的。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：我们依靠新闻来了解周围的事物。分析句子可知，句子的谓语是rely on，此空处需要用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to learn。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：这是因为记者们的工作重点不同。different修饰可数名词的复数，priority“优先事项”是可数名词。故填priorities。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：关于同一事件的新闻报道可能在事实细节方面相互矛盾的另一个原因是，现实世界中的事件通常是复杂的。固定短语in terms of “在…方面”，此空处缺少介词。故填in。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：关于同一事件的新闻报道可能在事实细节方面相互矛盾的另一个原因是，现实世界中的事件通常是复杂的，并且不断变化。and为并列连词，其上文是complicated “复杂的”是形容词，所以空后的changing也是形容词。副词可以修饰形容词，constant“不断的”是形容词，其副词形式是constantly。故填constantly。
【40题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：相反，检查报告何时完成。主语the reports和谓语complete是被动关系，根据句意可知检查报告是过去的事情，再根据主谓一致原则。故填were completed。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：检查不同的来源使我们能够得出更明智的结论。分析句子可知，句子缺少主语，check与其逻辑主语us是主动的关系，故应用动名词短语作主语。故填checking。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：检查不同的来源使我们能够得出更明智的结论。固定短语draw a conclusion“得出结论”，此空后的more informed 作conclusion的定语，more是辅音音素开头的单词，此空处缺少冠词。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：总而言之，从不同角度阅读新闻报道是明智的。perspectives “角度”是名词，形容词可以修饰名词，vary“变化”是动词，其形容词形式是various/varied。故填various/varied。
【44题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：综上所述，从不同角度、不同阶段阅读新闻报道是明智的，这会让我们对形势有更准确的理解。在which引导的非限制性定语从句中，先行词是前面这一件事，which在从句中作主语，再由主句的谓语用了一般现在时，所以从句的谓语也应用一般现在时。故填brings。
【45题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：我们还需要对我们收到的信息持批评态度，记住不要盲目相信我们读到的东西。分析句子可知，动词trust后是宾语从句，在宾语从句中谓语have read 后又缺宾语，需要表示“什么”的意思的连接代词只有what。故填what。

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
Annie was having an awful day. And it had only just begun. Her car had a flat tire in the morning. She spilled coffee on her shirt and even worse, the man behind the counter had given her incorrect change (找零的钱). And now she was running late for work — another shift (轮班工作) at the grocery store.
Annie pulled into the grocery store parking lot, opened her car door and immediately stepped into a puddle (水坑). She let out a loud sigh and angrily headed toward the store.
She paused briefly to wipe off her feet and heard two ladies chatting.
“I’m so sorry to hear about your job, Mary.”
“Thank you, Sarah. So many people have been fired recently. It’s worrying, but I’ll figure something out.”
Briefly, Annie felt slightly jealous of the woman. She would give anything to not have to be at work this morning.
She dropped off her things in the break room and put on her uniform. Then, she made her way to her register for another long day, hoping that her luck would change. But her first customer spilled a bottle of juice on her counter, leaving it sticky well after he had paid and left. Another insisted on paying in all change, holding up her line for ages. Annie was close to just throwing in the towel and asking to leave early. But she figured she would have to wait until she went on break. That way, she’d have time to think of an excuse.
Annie absent-mindedly continued to ring up (记入收款机) her next customer’s groceries, placing them in the bag before reading out the total.
“It comes to $44.97,” Annie said.
There was a brief pause, and when she looked up, she saw Mary — the woman she heard chatting in the parking lot.
Mary pulled her wallet from her large bag and opened it. She bit her lip and blushed (脸红). Annie could see that she didn’t have enough to pay as she reached to start taking some of the items out of a grocery bag.
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。
Annie reached out and stopped her.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mary’s tears made Annie realize that she had been so selfish.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Annie reached out and stopped her. She had had enough and couldn’t bear it any longer. All she wanted was a break. Impatiently, Annie asked Mary to step aside to make room for other customers; after all, she didn’t want anybody to hold up her line again. Face burning, Mary whispered an apology and moved aside, making space for the next customer. When she was carefully choosing which items to leave behind, other customers were whispering, casting pitiful glances at her. At that moment, Annie caught tears welling up in Mary’s eyes!
Mary’s tears made Annie realize that she had been so selfish. How could she be so rude and so mean? “Was my day that terrible? Should I have been more patient? Mary, like so many ordinary people, is in such a difficult situation. Should I, still luckily working, treat this poor woman like this?” Feeling guilty and ashamed, Annie paid the rest of the bill, placed the items back into the bag, handed her the receipt and wished her a good day.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写。文章讲述了Annie经历了糟糕的一个上午后，又轮班在杂货店工作时，遇到一位刚失业的女士在付款时钱不够。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“安妮伸手拦住了她”可知，第一段可描写安妮变得不耐烦，觉得玛丽阻碍了她正常的工作，让她先让其他顾客结账。
②由第二段首句内容“玛丽的眼泪使安妮意识到她太自私了”可知，第二段可描写安妮意识到自己问题，主动做一些事情来弥补自己的错误。
2.续写线索：阻止玛丽结账——玛丽受到委屈——安妮意识自己问题——安妮弥补自己错误
3.词汇激活
行为类
①留空位：make room/ make space
②放：put /place
③递：hand/pass/give
情绪类
①忍受：stand/bear/put up with
②眼睛充满眼泪：Tears filling one’s eyes/tears welling up in one’s eyes

B
Have you heard of Robert Bateman? He worked late the evening of March 31,1992. He studied his painting of three lions. Bateman decided to add some finishing touches. As he turned away from the canvas, he smiled, imagining the reaction of his staff the next morning. What an April Fools’ joke! The next day, when his assistants came to the studio, they were shocked. What had the famous artist done to his masterpiece? The lions had bat ears!
World-famous wildlife artist Robert Bateman lives in British Columbia, Canada. On working days, he might be found hiking on the mountain, sketching birds and animals. Bateman spends his days observing, studying, and painting wildlife.
As a boy, Bateman explored the woods and fields around his home in Toronto, Ontario. By the 1970s, he was well-known for his realistic paintings of the natural world.
When he’s not in the woods or mountains, Bateman can be found at home in front of his easel (画架). He still gets a thrill out of seeing an eagle. Sometimes, Bateman does not even have to leave home to find an eagle. They come to him. Eagles rest on a dead tree that Bateman “planted” in rock in front of his house.
Bateman’s most exciting place to find subjects to paint is in Africa. “Every day in Africa is thrilling,” he says. “There are places in Africa that look like the Garden of Eden (伊甸园).”
As for the bat ears on the lions, Bateman painted them on with watercolor paints. After everyone had a good laugh, he simply washed the ears away.
4. Why did Bateman add bat ears to the lion?
A. Because he was dissatisfied with his painting.
B. Because he wanted to joke with his staff members.
C. Because he would like to make his painting more attractive.
D. Because he was eager to have a better study on his painting.
5. Why does Bateman hike on the mountain?
A. To look for fun. B. To research and paint wildlife.
C. To take care of wildlife. D. To search for new species of wildlife.
6. What can we learn about Bateman?
A. He lived in the UK many years ago.
B. He spends quite a lot of time in hunting eagles.
C. His paintings do not look like real things in life.
D. He is particularly fond of living in Africa.
7. Which words can describe Bateman?
A. Crazy and cruel. B. Naughty and unkind.
C. Humorous and hardworking. D. Imaginative and impractical.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了世界著名的野生动物艺术家罗伯特·贝特曼的一生，文中既对他专注于绘画的人生做了记录，又特地介绍了他给狮子画上蝙蝠耳朵的轶事，向读者展现了一位上进又不失幽默的画家形象。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“he smiled, imagining the reaction of his staff the next morning. What an April Fools’ joke!”（他微笑着，想象着第二天早上他的助手们的反应。这真是个好玩的愚人节玩笑！）可知，他给狮子画上蝙蝠耳朵，是想要跟画室里的工作人员开玩笑（Because he wanted to joke with his staff members），故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“he might be found hiking on the mountain, sketching birds and animals. Bateman spends his days observing, studying, and painting wildlife.”（他可能会在山上徒步旅行，画鸟兽。贝特曼每天都在观察、研究和绘画野生动物）可知，他去山上徒步的目的是研究和作画野生动物（To research and paint wildlife），故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文倒数第二段“Bateman’s most exciting place to find subjects to paint is in Africa.”（最令贝特曼兴奋的寻找作画对象的地方是非洲）可知，他尤其喜欢待在非洲（He is particularly fond of living in Africa），符合原文，故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。本题要求根据文中介绍，选出最契合贝特曼形象的形容词。根据全文第一段“He smiled, imagining the reaction of his staff the next morning. What an April Fools’ joke!”（他微笑着，想象着第二天早上他的助手们的反应。这真是个好玩的愚人节玩笑），他给狮子画上蝙蝠耳朵，准备给画室成员送上“愚人节玩笑”，可看出他是个有点小幽默的画家（humorous），此外他作为著名的现实主义画家，“Bateman spends his days observing, studying, and painting wildlife”（将自己的时间投入于观察、研究和为野生动物作画之中），可知他是个努力上进的画家（hardworking），C项两个形容词契合原文的介绍，故选C。
C
Sales of small cakes have overtaken (超过) big ones for the first time, according to researchers at Mintel — but is the cupcake bubble starting to burst? Size, they say, matters. And when it comes to cakes, we Brits have for years desired for the biggest, richest, gooiest creations we could lay our sticky fingers on. Towering chocolate gateaux dominate bakery windows.
But thanks to the latest baking phenomenon, big is no longer best. Figures released today show that, for the first time, sales of small cakes have overtaken those of large cakes, with bite-sized baked goods growing in popularity by 19 per cent since 2011. According to researchers at Mintel, our taste for large cakes has declined, with sales dropping 3 per cent in two years.
So what’s behind our passion for miniatures — and is it the end of the traditional, full-sized sponge? It all started with the cupcake. When the Magnolia Bakery opened in New York in 1996, the nice iced sponges were seen as treats for children’s parties. Then, in 2000, Carrie Bradshaw, star of the city, ate a pink cupcake on TV — and everything changed. In the months and years that followed, demand for the tiny cakes exploded — and in 2005, Sprinkles, the world’s first cupcakes — only bakery, opened in Beverly Hills. The trend soon spread worldwide.
“Cupcakes became so popular because people wanted an individual treat,” explains Edd Ainbet, former winner of the BBC series The Great British Bake Off. “It’s a little something naughty — a small price for a small mouthful. And it’s a mini hobby just for you; not like cutting a slice out of a big cake that you share. They’re cute and playful, like tiny pieces of art.”
8. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. Small cakes are always the best.
B. Brits prefer small cakes to big ones today.
C. The sales of small cakes dropped 3 per cent.
D. Big cakes have always enjoyed larger market share than small ones.
9. What does the underlined word “miniatures” refer to?
A. Tiny cakes. B. Full-sized sponge. C. Large cakes. D. Birthday cakes.
10. What can we learn about Bradshaw ?
A. He ordered a pink cupcake.
B. He opened Sprinkles in Beverly Hills.
C. He made a successful ad for cupcakes.
D. He played a great role in making cupcakes.
11. What is Edd Ainbet’s attitude towards cupcakes?
A. Critical. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Favorable.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。讲述现在人们对小蛋糕的喜爱程度已超过大蛋糕。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。有文章第二段中“Figures released today show that, for the first time, sales of small cakes have overtaken those of large cakes, with bite-sized baked goods growing in popularity by 19 per cent since 2011. According to researchers at Mintel, our taste for large cakes has declined, with sales dropping 3 per cent in two years.”（今天公布的数据显示，小蛋糕的销量首次超过大蛋糕，自2011年以来，一口大小的烘焙食品的受欢迎程度增长了19%。Mintel的研究人员称，我们对大蛋糕的口味已经下降，两年内销售额下降了3%。）可知，研究结果表明，在英国，人们对大蛋糕喜爱度下降，而对小蛋糕的喜爱在快速增长，并小蛋糕销量超过大蛋糕，所以可推出在英国比起大蛋糕，人们更喜欢小蛋糕。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“Figures released today show that, for the first time, sales of small cakes have overtaken those of large cakes, with bite-sized baked goods growing in popularity by 19 per cent since 2011.”（今天公布的数据显示，小蛋糕的销量首次超过大蛋糕，自2011年以来，一口大小的烘焙食品的受欢迎程度增长了19%。）以及第三段“It all started with the cupcake. ”（一切都是从纸杯蛋糕开始的。）可知，现在人们对小蛋糕的喜爱程度在不断增加，以及后文所说的纸杯蛋糕也是属于小蛋糕，所以划线单词这句应指我们对小蛋糕的热情，miniatures 应指Tiny cakes（小型蛋糕）。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“Then, in 2000, Carrie Bradshaw, star of the city, ate a pink cupcake on TV — and everything changed. In the months and years that followed, demand for the tiny cakes exploded”（然后，在2000年，城市之星Carrie Bradshaw肖在电视上吃了一个粉红色的纸杯蛋糕——一切都变了。在接下来的几个月和几年里，对这种小蛋糕的需求激增。）可知，Carrie Bradshaw成功为小蛋糕打广告，促使了小蛋糕的流行。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“It’s a little something naughty — a small price for a small mouthful. And it’s a mini hobby just for you; not like cutting a slice out of a big cake that you share. They’re cute and playful, like tiny pieces of art.”（这是有点淘气的东西——一小口的价格很低。这只是你的一个小爱好；不像从你分享的大蛋糕上切下一片。它们既可爱又好玩，就像一件件小的艺术品。）可以推断，Edd Ainbet对小蛋糕的态度是赞许的。故选D项。
D
Around 1,500 endangered and rare languages are at a high risk of being lost in the next century, according to a study published on Thursday in Nature Ecology and Evolution.
The study found that around half of the world’s 7,000 documented languages are endangered. It also found that greater road density was associated with higher risk of endangerment.
“It’s as if roads are helping dominant languages overwhelm other smaller languages,” co-author and professor at the Australian National University Lindell Bromham said in a press release.
Greater endangerment was also associated with higher average years of schooling, suggesting that formal education contributes to loss of language diversity. “Mainstream education in a dominant language can lead to loss of competence in minority languages. We urgently need to invest in bilingual (双语的) education and develop programs that allow communities to bring their heritage language into schools, to make sure the language stays strong and is passed on to future generations,” Bromhall told CBS News.
The study found that unless there is intervention (干预), the world could lose at least one language per month, with language loss three times more in the next 40 years. The authors recommended “urgent investment” in community-based programs like bilingual education programs and language documentation. And some of the recommendations that experts made 20 years ago are still the same: governments should remove bans on languages and adults should encourage children to speak other languages — including their native language.
“Each language is a reflection on the creativity and inventiveness of human minds, a beautiful and fascinating solution to complex communication challenges,” Bromham told CBS News. “Most importantly, for many people, language symbolizes cultural identity and belonging. Many groups mourn (悼念) the decline of unique languages and long for competency in languages no longer spoken.”
12. What was related with higher risk of language endangerment?
A. Less road density.
B. Unpopularity among language learners.
C. Greater competence of small languages.
D. Higher average years of schooling.
13. What should government do to preserve language diversity?
A Stop bans on languages.
B. Create more language education programs.
C. Put more investment in language research.
D. Encourage people to speak other languages.
14. What do we know from the text?
A. Investment is needed in bilingual education.
B. Language loss results in mainstream education.
C. Half of the world’s current languages are lost.
D. Dominant languages are symbols of cultural identity.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The causes of language loss. B. The high risk of language loss.
C. The measures of language protection. D. The importance of language diversity.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。一项研究表明，约1500种濒危和珍稀语言存在着消失的高风险性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Greater endangerment was also associated with higher average years of schooling, suggesting that formal education contributes to loss of language diversity.(更严重的濒危状态也与更高的平均受教育年限有关，这表明正规教育是语言多样性丧失的原因之一)”可知，更高的平均受教育年限与更高的语言濒危风险有关。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“governments should remove bans on languages and adults should encourage children to speak other languages — including their native language.(政府应该取消对语言的禁令，成年人应该鼓励儿童说其他语言——包括他们的母语)”可知，为了保护语言的多样性，政府部门应该取消对语言的禁令。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“We urgently need to invest in bilingual (双语的) education and develop programs that allow communities to bring their heritage language into schools, to make sure the language stays strong and is passed on to future generations,(我们迫切需要投资双语教育，开发允许群体将其传统语言带入学校的项目，确保语言保持强大，并传递给后代)”可推知，双语教育需要投资。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Around 1,500 endangered and rare languages are at a high risk of being lost in the next century, according to a study published on Thursday in Nature Ecology and Evolution.(根据周四发表在《自然生态与进化》杂志上的一项研究，大约1500种濒危和珍稀语言在下个世纪很有可能消失)”可知，本文主要讲述的是语言消失的高风险性。故选B。

When the coronavirus pandemic forced people to work out at home, doctors were seeing patients coming in with various home-gym-inspired injuries. So, how to be safe during home workouts? ____16____
Check your workout space for potential danger
____17____ But that doesn’t mean you can just start jumping around in your living room, basement or garage. Make sure you give yourself more open space than you think you need so you don’t hit anything while moving — for example, lunging and running into a coffee table.
Dress for (workout) success
Working out in your pajamas might be convenient, but wearing cozy clothes can limit your movements. Make sure you wear sneakers if you choose to wear anything, since it’s easy to slip or trip when wearing socks or slippers. ____18____ Experts say there are benefits to walking around barefoot, such as a boost in foot strength, stability and balance.
____19____
Hiring a personal trainer might seem unnecessary in this new world of online classes and workout videos. But it can be a smart investment. While there is nothing wrong with online classes and videos, the instructor can’t see you and evaluate your form. Plus, sometimes you cannot understand what the instructor is saying.
Warm up, cool down, don’t overdo it
It’s important to warm up before exercising, cool down afterward when trying something new. ____20____ For active workouts, dynamic stretches such as leg swings as your warm-up and static stretching afterward is a good choice. For strength training, precede your workout with several light repetitions of the exercise you are about to do.
A. Spring for a personal trainer.
B. But going barefoot can work, too.
C. They can benefit you in many aspects.
D. A good warm-up/cool-down routine depends on what you’ll be doing.
E. Here are several things you can do to help ensure you stay injury-free.

【答案】16. E 17. F 18. B 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。针对冠状病毒大流行迫使人们在家锻炼情况，关于怎样更好在家健身，作者给出几点建议。
【16题详解】
由上文“When the coronavirus pandemic forced people to work out at home, doctors were seeing patients coming in with various home-gym-inspired injuries. So, how to be safe during home workouts? （当冠状病毒大流行迫使人们在家锻炼时，医生们看到患者带着各种家庭健身房引发的损伤进来。那么，如何在家庭锻炼中保持安全呢？）”可知，作者就怎样安全家庭健身提问。再根据后文可知，给出了四个建议。所以结合语境，E项“Here are several things you can do to help ensure you stay injury-free.（这里有几件事你可以做，以帮助确保你没有受伤。）”有承上启下作用，切题。故选E项。
【17题详解】
由上文“Check your workout space for potential danger（检查你的锻炼地方是否存在潜在危险）”可知，这段主要讲的是健身地方，再根据下文“But that doesn’t mean you can just start jumping around in your living room, basement or garage. （但这并不意味着你可以在客厅、地下室或车库里蹦蹦跳跳。）”可知，这里还是在讲选择什么地方作为健身地方。所以F项“Most people don’t have a home gym, nor the space or money to create one.（大多数人都没有家庭健身房，也没有空间或资金来创建一个。）”切合语境，且能和下文形成对比。故选F项。
【18题详解】
由“Dress for (workout) success（为（锻炼）成功而着装）”可知这段主要讲着装。再由下文“Experts say there are benefits to walking around barefoot, such as a boost in foot strength, stability and balance.（专家们说，赤脚锻炼有很多好处，比如提高脚的力量、稳定性和平衡性。）”可知赤脚锻炼有很多好处。而B项“But going barefoot can work, too.（但是赤脚也可以。）”中barefoot与后文对应，有启下作用。故选B项。
19题详解】
由下文“Hiring a personal trainer might seem unnecessary in this new world of online classes and workout videos. But it can be a smart investment.（在这个网络课程和锻炼视频的新世界里，雇佣私人教练似乎是不必要的。但这可能是一项明智的投资。）”可知，这段只是讲的是雇佣私人教练。而A项“Spring for a personal trainer.（支付一个私人教练）”切题。故选A项。
【20题详解】
由“Warm up, cool down, don’t overdo it（热身，散热，不要过度）”可知这段主要讲怎样热身和锻炼后散热。再由后文“ For active workouts, dynamic stretches such as leg swings as your warm-up and static stretching afterward is a good choice. For strength training, precede your workout with several light repetitions of the exercise you are about to do.（对于积极的锻炼，热身时进行腿部摆动等动态拉伸，之后进行静态拉伸是一个不错的选择。对于力量训练，在训练之前，先进行几次轻微的重复训练。）”可知文章就不同目的锻炼在进不同类型热身讲解。而D项“A good warm-up/cool-down routine depends on what you’ll be doing.（一个好的热身/冷却程序取决于你要做什么。）”有启下作用，切题。故选D项。

第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
We rely on news ____36____ (learn) about things around us. However, reports on the same events contain different information. That’s because journalists may have different ____37____ (priority). Another reason why news reports on the same event may contradict each other ____38____ terms of factual details is that events in the real world are usually complicated and ____39____ (constant) changing. When we come across such factual differences in news reports, we should not rush to the conclusion that the news report gives false information. Instead, check when the reports ____40____ (complete). Because news reports written at different stages of an event could contain different information as news facts are brought to light. Therefore, ____41____ (check) different sources enables us to draw ____42____ more informed conclusion.
To sum up, it is wise to read news reports written from ____43____ (vary) perspectives and at different stages, which ____44____ (bring) us a more accurate understanding of a situation. We also need to be critical about the information we receive and remember not to blindly trust ____45____ we have read.
【答案】36. to learn
37 priorities
38. in 39. constantly
40. were completed
41. checking
42. a 43. various/varied
44. brings 45. what
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了我们依靠新闻来了解周围的事物，但是从不同角度阅读新闻报道是明智的。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：我们依靠新闻来了解周围的事物。分析句子可知，句子的谓语是rely on，此空处需要用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to learn。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：这是因为记者们的工作重点不同。different修饰可数名词的复数，priority“优先事项”是可数名词。故填priorities。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：关于同一事件的新闻报道可能在事实细节方面相互矛盾的另一个原因是，现实世界中的事件通常是复杂的。固定短语in terms of “在…方面”，此空处缺少介词。故填in。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：关于同一事件的新闻报道可能在事实细节方面相互矛盾的另一个原因是，现实世界中的事件通常是复杂的，并且不断变化。and为并列连词，其上文是complicated “复杂的”是形容词，所以空后的changing也是形容词。副词可以修饰形容词，constant“不断的”是形容词，其副词形式是constantly。故填constantly。
【40题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：相反，检查报告何时完成。主语the reports和谓语complete是被动关系，根据句意可知检查报告是过去的事情，再根据主谓一致原则。故填were completed。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：检查不同的来源使我们能够得出更明智的结论。分析句子可知，句子缺少主语，check与其逻辑主语us是主动的关系，故应用动名词短语作主语。故填checking。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：检查不同的来源使我们能够得出更明智的结论。固定短语draw a conclusion“得出结论”，此空后的more informed 作conclusion的定语，more是辅音音素开头的单词，此空处缺少冠词。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：总而言之，从不同角度阅读新闻报道是明智的。perspectives “角度”是名词，形容词可以修饰名词，vary“变化”是动词，其形容词形式是various/varied。故填various/varied。
【44题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：综上所述，从不同角度、不同阶段阅读新闻报道是明智的，这会让我们对形势有更准确的理解。在which引导的非限制性定语从句中，先行词是前面这一件事，which在从句中作主语，再由主句的谓语用了一般现在时，所以从句的谓语也应用一般现在时。故填brings。
【45题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：我们还需要对我们收到的信息持批评态度，记住不要盲目相信我们读到的东西。分析句子可知，动词trust后是宾语从句，在宾语从句中谓语have read 后又缺宾语，需要表示“什么”的意思的连接代词只有what。故填what。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
Annie was having an awful day. And it had only just begun. Her car had a flat tire in the morning. She spilled coffee on her shirt and even worse, the man behind the counter had given her incorrect change (找零的钱). And now she was running late for work — another shift (轮班工作) at the grocery store.
Annie pulled into the grocery store parking lot, opened her car door and immediately stepped into a puddle (水坑). She let out a loud sigh and angrily headed toward the store.
She paused briefly to wipe off her feet and heard two ladies chatting.
“I’m so sorry to hear about your job, Mary.”
“Thank you, Sarah. So many people have been fired recently. It’s worrying, but I’ll figure something out.”
Briefly, Annie felt slightly jealous of the woman. She would give anything to not have to be at work this morning.
She dropped off her things in the break room and put on her uniform. Then, she made her way to her register for another long day, hoping that her luck would change. But her first customer spilled a bottle of juice on her counter, leaving it sticky well after he had paid and left. Another insisted on paying in all change, holding up her line for ages. Annie was close to just throwing in the towel and asking to leave early. But she figured she would have to wait until she went on break. That way, she’d have time to think of an excuse.
Annie absent-mindedly continued to ring up (记入收款机) her next customer’s groceries, placing them in the bag before reading out the total.
“It comes to $44.97,” Annie said.
There was a brief pause, and when she looked up, she saw Mary — the woman she heard chatting in the parking lot.
Mary pulled her wallet from her large bag and opened it. She bit her lip and blushed (脸红). Annie could see that she didn’t have enough to pay as she reached to start taking some of the items out of a grocery bag.

【答案】 Annie reached out and stopped her. She had had enough and couldn’t bear it any longer. All she wanted was a break. Impatiently, Annie asked Mary to step aside to make room for other customers; after all, she didn’t want anybody to hold up her line again. Face burning, Mary whispered an apology and moved aside, making space for the next customer. When she was carefully choosing which items to leave behind, other customers were whispering, casting pitiful glances at her. At that moment, Annie caught tears welling up in Mary’s eyes!
Mary’s tears made Annie realize that she had been so selfish. How could she be so rude and so mean? “Was my day that terrible? Should I have been more patient? Mary, like so many ordinary people, is in such a difficult situation. Should I, still luckily working, treat this poor woman like this?” Feeling guilty and ashamed, Annie paid the rest of the bill, placed the items back into the bag, handed her the receipt and wished her a good day.
