听第10段材料,回答第18至20题。
Hello,I’m Jeff Anderson from Coventry,England.And in today’s program,I’d like to share with you a special kind of English culture—the football.A lot of people in England are crazy about football.During the football season whenever there is a big match,all the flags for local football teams,such as Liverpool and Newcastle,are hung outside every window,or even spread proudly on T-shirts or scarves.There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air.Groups of young men crowd into dark,packed pubs staring at television screens.Of course they are covered head to toe in the colours of their team.They shout and scream in sadness when their team loses a goal,or with joy when there is a moment of success.You do not have to be a fan of football to get caught up in the excitement.As far as victories are concerned,England had its big moment in 1966 in Wembley Stadium.The World Cup victory is in the hearts and minds of all football fans.Now,whenever England is playing a big match,red and white covers every inch of every pub,a symbol of hope —
the English flag.While football has never been something I am particularly interested in,for years,I’ve had to pretend excitement and pick a team to support.You cannot say you don’t like or do not follow football in England,as often this would lead to a long dialogue in which someone would begin telling you why you should support their team.
18.Where do young men go to watch big games according to Jeff?
A.Pubs.
B.Stadiums.
C.Friends’ homes.
答案A
19.Why does Jeff have to pick a team to support?
A.To avoid being bothered.
B.To open a conversation.
C.To earn respect from others.
答案A
20.What does Jeff mainly talk about?
A.England’s moment of success.
B.English flag as a symbol of hope.
C.England’s all-time favourite sport.
答案C
第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Your first big-screen experience is likely to have been Disney productions—whether we are talking about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Frozen—that have long been considered safe,healthy choices for kids,and pictures that parents can feel they don’t need to screen in advance.
When you are a big person,a movie seen in a theatre is much larger than life;when you’re a little person,it can be like a new entry opening in the universe.Those experiences matter,and Disney knows the power—and the profit potential—of what’s in its values,which helps explain the studio’s ongoing strategy of remaking its most popular animated films,often in live-action versions.
How do you feel about directors’ interpretation of these movies,a combination of live-action filmmaking techniques,virtual-reality methods and computer-generated imaginary,depends largely on how you feel about the original.The stories,even with a gently updated script,are roughly the same.If you’ve seen the original,you know how the rest of them go.
In the following years,we’ll also watch other Disney’s remakes such as Mulan.Any children raised by Disney films would think that this is a great time to be alive.Right?
But judging by critics’ ratings of some live-action movies,it seems that the powerful studio has been unable to wow audiences.
So why more live actions?
The money
Let’s face it:Walt Disney Pictures is all about generating more revenue(收入).Even though it did not manage to capture critics,it still managed to catch the audience’s hearts.And that is more than enough.After all,films are not made to entertain critics;it’s all about creating an ultimate cinematic experience for casual moviegoers.And as long as they’re entertained with new interpretations of beloved stories,why stop making live-action films?
Inclusion
When you spend your entire childhood dancing and singing along to these characters,it’s beyond magical to see them again when you’re an adult and are the same age as them.That’s one of the few magical effects of movies.Not to mention,Aladdin’s South Asian cast is also a strong statement for the world.Perhaps this is also the reason why Disney wants Mulan to have an all Asian cast.Let’s hope they’re not the only ones and Disney is bringing more diverse stories to be told.
Nostalgia(怀旧)
All of these Disney remakes are designed to fuel the nostalgia of boomers,Gen X-ers and millennials,and many of the moviegoers who grew up with these movies,in particular,now have young kids of their own.Little wonder the studio is seeing big dollar signs in them.
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了迪士尼的电影。
21.Disney productions are parents’ first choice for kids because they .
A.promote children’s overall health
B.don’t need booking in advance
C.don’t need a screen to enjoy them
D.have been enjoying a good reputation
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第一段中的“...whether we are talking about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Frozen—that have long been considered safe,healthy choices for kids,...”可知,迪士尼电影对孩子们来说是安全健康的选择。由此推测,迪士尼享有很高的声誉。
22.Your feeling about the live-action films remade mainly relies on .
A.the filmmaking technology
B.the popularity of the films
C.the familiarity with the storyline
D.the computer-generated imaginary
答案C

23.In the author’s opinion,what could be the main reason for Disney’s more live actions?
A.It’s trying its best to satisfy both critics and audience.
B.It’s sparing no efforts to earn as much revenue as possible.
C.It’s seeking and adding global elements to make diverse stories.
D.It’s bringing back those sweet memories to its loyal aging fans.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据The money部分的第一句“Let’s face it:Walt Disney Pictures is all about generating more revenue.”可知,迪士尼影业旨在创造更多的收入,所以选B项。
B

Fancy your own satellite?Arizona State University is working towards making this a reality with its SunCube FemtoSat project.Smaller than a standard CubeSat,the low-cost student-designed spacecraft is aimed at providing greater access to space for scientists and hobbyists alike.
Assistant professor Jekan Thanga and a team of students have been developing the SunCube FemtoSat for the past two years.The small 3×3×3 cm cube weighs in at just 35 g and a longer (3×3×9 cm,100 g) model has also been designed,which includes storage space.
Each SunCube FemtoSat has its own communication,data collection and propulsion(推进)systems and is powered by solar panels.It is made of off-the-shelf parts that are available in shops,and the energy-efficient solar panels are cut from scrap(碎片),which makes it save energy,sold at a discount by manufacturers.“With a spacecraft of this size,any university can do it,” says Thanga.“That’s part of our major goal—space discovery for everybody.”
The team says that while launching your own satellite would usually cost between US $60,000-70,000 per kilo,it would only cost $1,000 to send a SunCube FemtoSat to the International Space Station,and $3,000 to send it into low earth orbit.Leaving the earth’s gravity would cost an estimated $27,000.
The FemtoSat would be packed with a “jack in the box” style system that matches standard CubeSat sizes (around 10 cubic cm),simplifying the process of getting the tiny satellite into orbit.NASA has sent 30 CubeSats into space over the last few years,with another 50 awaiting launch.
Thanga and his staff view the FemtoSat as a starting point for scientists and students,and even hope the device could be bought on the website like Amazon one day.Thanga imagines developing four main applications for the device,including hands-on testing experiences for students,and artificial gravity experiments.In addition,groups of SunCube FemtoSats could eventually be able to do the job of larger spacecraft at a vastly discounted cost.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种微型卫星的成功研制以及将帮助大众探索太空的可能性。
24.What is the major goal of the SunCube FemtoSat project?
A.To act on teaching in outer space.
B.To provide access to spacecraft design.

26.What does Thanga expect of SunCube FemtoSats?
A.They’ll be available online.
B.They’ll be provided for free.
C.They’ll match the size of CubeSats.
D.They’ll be sent into space with CubeSats.
答案A

27.What can be the best title for the text?
A.FemtoSats Will Rule Space
B.Your Own Satellite Is Coming
C.Going into Space Has Been Affordable
D.You Can Design Your Own Spacecraft
答案B
解析标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“Fancy your own satellite?”和第三段中的“That’s part of our major goal—space discovery for everybody.”可知,B项“你自己的卫星就要来了”可概括文章的主要内容。
C
China is developing a system that recognises individuals by their body shape and walking movements.Systems that recognise human faces are already being used to identify people in crowds or as a secure way to unlock personal devices.
The new system,known as “gait recognition”,is already on trial by police on the streets of Beijing and Shanghai.The Chinese technology company Watrix developed the system.The company announced last month that it had raised $14.5 million to speed up the development and sale of the technology.
The system works in a similar way to face recognition.Cameras capture video of people in public places.Then,machines powered by artificial intelligence (AI) examine and study the video.
Facial recognition systems identify the shapes and expressions on a person’s face to identify them.Gait recognition uses a person’s body shape and their way of walking to identify them.The system records a person’s shape and movements and then creates a model of the way they walk.
Huang Yongzhen is a former researcher who co-founded Watrix in 2016.He told the Associated Press his system can identify people from up to 50 metres away.It is designed to work even when a person’s face is covered or hidden.Huang says his gait recognition system is correct 94 percent of the time.This is below the success rate of many face recognition systems.But he says the system can still be helpful to police and for other commercial purposes.He also believes the system can be effective when used together with face recognition.
Gait recognition is not new.The technology has been researched by scientists in Japan and Britain and by U.S. defense officials for about 10 years.But attempts to sell the technology have been slow.One of the reasons the technology has not developed further is that the systems are more complex than facial recognition.
【语篇解读】本文讲述了中国正在研发一款步态识别系统,该系统能通过体型和走路姿态来识别身份。
28.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.A system that can recognise human faces is around the corner.
B.It is tough to accurately follow a person in crowds.
C.A system that can identify a person by walking is being developed.
D.A new system that can check a body shape is underway.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“China is developing a system that recognises individuals by their body shape and walking movements.”可知,目前正在开发一款通过身形和行走来识别身份的系统,所以选C项。
29.What do you know about Watrix mentioned in the passage?
A.It has invented a lot of systems adopted by the police.
B.It has earned $14.5 million by inventing the system.
C.It has become famous for the face recognition system.
D.It has got well prepared for the new system.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句“The company announced last month that it had raised $14.5 million to speed up the development and sale of the technology.”可知,该公司已经筹集了1450万美元,以加快该技术的开发和销售。由此推测,该公司已经为新系统做好充足的准备工作,故选D项。
30.Facial recognition is similar to gait recognition because .
A.cameras catch video of people’s expressions
B.a person’s body shape can be recognised very easily
C.cameras record video of a person in public places
D.a person’s action will be sent to the police
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第三段的“Cameras capture video of people in public places”可知,两种识别系统的相似之处是:摄像机捕捉公共场所人们的视频。因此C项正确。
31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Japan and Britain kept a secret about the system.
B.The systems of gait recognition are hard to develop.
C.Gait recognition will suffer a poor market very soon.
D.Almost no one understands how gait recognition runs.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段的“the systems are more complex than facial recognition”可知,该系统因为比较复杂而未能深入开发,由此可知B项正确。
D
(2020·全国卷Ⅰ)
Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend.There’s a welcome familiarity—but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both,and thus the relationship.But books don’t change,people do.And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register.It’s true,the older I get,the more I feel time has wings.But with reading,it’s all about the present.It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now,because reading is a give and take between author and reader.Each has to pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually.The first,which I take to reading every spring,is Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast.Published in 1964,it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris.The language is almost intoxicating(令人陶醉的),an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time.Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm,her poetic 1975 ramble(随笔) about everything and nothing.The third book is Julio Cort?zar’s Save Twilight:Selected Poems,because poetry.And because Cort?zar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books,these three were given to me as gifts,which might add to the meaning I attach to them.But I imagine that,while money is indeed wonderful and necessary,rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them.The best books are the ones that open further as time passes.But remember,it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。作者讲述了自己喜欢重读书籍的原因以及每年必重读的三本书的内容及其感悟。
32.Why does the author like rereading?
A.It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.
B.It’s a window to a whole new world.
C.It’s a substitute for drinking with a friend.
D.It extends the understanding of oneself.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“There’s a welcome familiarity—but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both,and thus the relationship.But books don’t change,people do.”可知,重新阅读书会让你感觉到时间改变了自己。第二段的第一句表明重新阅读书籍的美妙之处在于我们与作品的关系基于我们当前的心理状态。由此可知,作者喜欢重读书的原因在于读书加深了他对自己的理解。
33.What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast?
A.It’s a brief account of a trip.
B.It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man.
C.It’s a record of a historic event.
D.It’s about Hemingway’s friends in Paris.
答案B
解析细节理解题。由文章第三段中的“...an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time.”可知,A Moveable Feast是描写海明威早年生活的回忆录。故选B项。
34.What does the underlined word “currency” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Debt. B.Reward.
C.Allowance. D.Face value.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据上文的“while money is indeed wonderful and necessary,...”并结合下文的“a reader can pay them”可知,该词的意思应该与“money”相关,此处的意思是“重读作者的书是给予他们最高的奖励(报酬)”。debt“债务”;reward“报酬,奖励,回报”;allowance“津贴,补贴”;face value“面值”。分析四个选项可知选B项。
35.What can we infer about the author from the text?
A.He loves poetry.
B.He’s an editor.
C.He’s very ambitious.
D.He teaches reading.
答案A
解析推理判断题。由文章第三段中的“The third book is Julio Cort?zar’s Save Twilight:Selected Poems,because poetry.And because Cort?zar.”可知,作者最喜欢重读的第三本书籍是Save Twilight:Selected Poems,是一本诗选,且其中的两个because起到了强调作用。由此推测作者喜欢诗歌。故选A项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In order to make the introduction to robotics as simple as possible for many people I’ve created a mobile robot kit for experimenters called ARobot.
ARobot comes in kit(装备) form. 36 This allows you to get your robot working in a couple of hours instead of a couple of months or more.
37 One of the first things you get to do is decide on a paint job for your new robot.
ARobot uses the Basic Stamp Ⅱ controller. 38 There is plenty of expansion room on ARobot and an entire set of web pages that show you how to attach a digital compass,sonar range finder,light sensors and other devices at the website.
ARobot is designed to be about the same price as a typical “from scratch” robot but without all the hassle(麻烦).You’ll also find a gallery of images and a frequently-asked-questions section.
ARobot is also the subject of “Robot Building for Dummies” where the reader is shown how to add a temperature sensor,motion detector,video camera,and speech. 39
I hope this article helps you without sounding like a commercial.I’ve been building robots ever since I was a kid and I love helping others do the same. 40
A.You will find it easy to make a robot.
B.I am sure you’re going to LOVE ROBOTICS!
C.It is very popular and very easy to program.
D.In this way,you can get the robot working immediately.
E.However,the circuit board(电路板) and cables are pre-built and tested.
F.You can find it at Amazon and at most bookstores.
G.ARobot is made of metal,not plastic or wood like some of the other robots out there.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文主要向机器人爱好者介绍了ARobot的制造过程。
36.E 根据“This allows you to get your robot...”中的“This”可知,所填的句子应该是一种方法且与上文是转折关系,所以填E项。
37.G 根据“你要做的第一件事情就是给新机器人喷漆”可知,G项“Arobot是金属制作的……”是喷漆的原因。
38.C 根据本段第一句中的“Basic Stamp Ⅱ controller”可知,该机器人使用的是非常流行且易于操作的程序,所以选C项。
39.F 前面提到的“Robot Building for Dummies”是一本书,F项“你可以在亚马逊和大部分的书店里找到它”顺接了上文的意思。
40.B 本文主要向机器人爱好者介绍了ARobot的制造过程。所填的句子是文章的结尾句,B项“我相信你们会喜欢机器人学的”可作为文章的结尾。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
If your home were on fire,what would you try to save?Our area was just a few miles from the largest wildfire in Colorado’s history.On getting the call to evacuate(疏散),we had to consider what we couldn’t live without, 41 whatever we could save and leaving immediately.
We 42 suitcases with necessary clothes.We took the 43 we worked with.We took financial records—who wants to bother himself with the government over 44 documents?Now,what else?We seized the valuable family 45 from the walls,which couldn’t be replaced.
Then we took a hard look at all that remained.A lamp that belonged to my great grandmother.A 46 my wife learned to play as a kid.A large tent for which we spent months 47 money for camping.Bedroom furniture we wanted to pass down to our 48 some day.The gifts that decorated our house from our treasured friends.These things 49 our love as a family and friends.It was 50 to move everything from our home.Looking around at all that we might lose,I found it difficult to say goodbye.But 51 ,I felt warm.
We were 52 with memories as we 53 at these items.Each had stories to tell just like the photos.They told about where we’d been,where we 54 were and where we were going.They were 55 of those people we loved and who loved us.Now I didn’t think my “things” meant that much to me.Indeed,the spirit of them was all that truly mattered.
【语篇解读】本文记叙了作者一家的一次疏散经历。由于疏散过程中只能随身携带一些必需物品,对于那些无法带走的回忆,作者很伤感。但这样的经历让作者明白有些东西只是身外之物,生命中有人爱你,你也爱着他们,这才是最重要的。

C.collecting D.spotting
答案C
解析根据设空处前的“On getting the call to evacuate,we had to consider what we couldn’t live without”和设空处后的“whatever we could save and leaving immediately”可知,当作者一家接到紧急疏散的通知时,他们必须要考虑清楚哪些是必须带走的,然后整理好(collecting)这些物品并尽快离开。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了智能宾馆的相关内容。
56.longer 考查固定搭配。句意:在中国,宾馆住客再也不用担心排队登记入住了。no longer是固定搭配,意为“不再”,故填longer。
57.themselves 考查代词。此处表示完成他们自己的登记入住。故应用they的反身代词themselves,作check的宾语。
58.is checked 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。此处表示在信息被核实之后,且为一般性描述,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语the information为第三人称单数,故填is checked。
59.gradually 考查词形转换。此处应用副词修饰其后的“expanded”。
60.how 考查宾语从句。此处表示在中国人们的生活正在变得多么便利。分析句子结构可知,此处引导宾语从句,又根据语境可知,此处表示程度,故用连接副词how“多么”。
61.that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,指代先行词the only company,在从句中作主语,又根据先行词前面有the only修饰,故用that引导该定语从句。
62.on/upon 考查介词。此处表示专注于研发AI技术和智能宾馆。focus on/upon是固定搭配,意为“集中”,故填on/upon。
63.Travellers 考查名词。此处表示通过Smart LYZ的微信网页,旅客们就能预订房间。根据语境可知,此处应用名词的复数形式。
64.given 考查形容词。根据空前的a和空后的名词passcode可知,此处应用形容词given“特定的”。
65.creating 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,主语The AI Smart Room与create为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用create的现在分词形式creating。

Life Back on Earth
It is 7 am in the morning and the alarm reminds me once again to prepare for the school.It is a beautiful day with clear sky and lots of bright sunshine.But I don’t have time to soak into this because my school vehicle will come at 8 sharp and in case I miss,my parent will give me a beating.So better run.
My school bus just took off and drove past the residential towers.It takes only 5 minutes to reach the school where each of us will have designated routines to follow and any deviation will be caught on CCTV and reported back to my parents online on their desk.After all,it is the year 2300.
Oh yes!We are the 4th generation people living on Europa in a habitable space which has been created specifically for us by man in the 22nd century.The earth became dangerous for living due to increasing pollution which our forefathers created and hence mankind had to look to other places for a living.All over the world,a handful of people were selected and my great grandparents travelled all the way to this place to continue a life.
It is 12 pm and lunchtime.Today we were served some delicious cream and chocolates.These are made on planet Mars these days and brought here directly.I am feeling a little sleepy but my robotic teacher won’t give me a break and also our results will be out today.I am feeling a little tensed.
Oh my God!I have come first in my class,feeling over the moon (Or,over the Europa).And,you won’t believe me—I have got a chance to visit the earth along with others on a day trip.I am so excited about the trip and my parents are equally so.I am carrying my latest camera to catch every moment of the journey.
Finally we are on the earth after the 4 hours’ journey and we are in our organo-synthetic suit to protect against the harmful environment where once mankind took their first breath.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
There are still some colonies of humans spreading across the globe mostly in the triangular land mass (historians say it Africa) and I am very eager to see them closely.
It is getting darker and we had to go back.
参考范文
There are still some colonies of humans spreading across the globe mostly in the triangular land mass (historians say it Africa) and I am very eager to see them closely. Upon arrival,we found ourselves deep in hazy atmosphere,which,as my robot guide tells me,is the result of air pollution.We were almost out of breath,so we had to look for some places where we could breathe.How could mankind survive here?I wondered.Luckily,we escaped and landed near a school,where some crazy kids are running around a ball on an open ground,shouting “Goal,Goal,Goal” all the time.My robot guide told me that it was called “Football”—the most popular game on the earth.I thought of my game of “Alien Invasion” which is more exciting.Then we continued our trip...
It is getting darker and we had to go back.While back,I still thought about the air pollution,the dirty water,the bare land on the earth.I can’t understand why mankind didn’t care about their home?Though I carried my camera,I took few pictures.The journey to the earth made me sad for those who live in that place.

听第10段材料,回答第18至20题。
Hello,I’m Jeff Anderson from Coventry,England.And in today’s program,I’d like to share with you a special kind of English culture—the football.A lot of people in England are crazy about football.During the football season whenever there is a big match,all the flags for local football teams,such as Liverpool and Newcastle,are hung outside every window,or even spread proudly on T-shirts or scarves.There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air.Groups of young men crowd into dark,packed pubs staring at television screens.Of course they are covered head to toe in the colours of their team.They shout and scream in sadness when their team loses a goal,or with joy when there is a moment of success.You do not have to be a fan of football to get caught up in the excitement.As far as victories are concerned,England had its big moment in 1966 in Wembley Stadium.The World Cup victory is in the hearts and minds of all football fans.Now,whenever England is playing a big match,red and white covers every inch of every pub,a symbol of hope —
the English flag.While football has never been something I am particularly interested in,for years,I’ve had to pretend excitement and pick a team to support.You cannot say you don’t like or do not follow football in England,as often this would lead to a long dialogue in which someone would begin telling you why you should support their team.
18.Where do young men go to watch big games according to Jeff?
A.Pubs.
B.Stadiums.
C.Friends’ homes.
答案A
19.Why does Jeff have to pick a team to support?
A.To avoid being bothered.
B.To open a conversation.
C.To earn respect from others.
答案A
20.What does Jeff mainly talk about?
A.England’s moment of success.
B.English flag as a symbol of hope.
C.England’s all-time favourite sport.

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Your first big-screen experience is likely to have been Disney productions—whether we are talking about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Frozen—that have long been considered safe,healthy choices for kids,and pictures that parents can feel they don’t need to screen in advance.
When you are a big person,a movie seen in a theatre is much larger than life;when you’re a little person,it can be like a new entry opening in the universe.Those experiences matter,and Disney knows the power—and the profit potential—of what’s in its values,which helps explain the studio’s ongoing strategy of remaking its most popular animated films,often in live-action versions.
How do you feel about directors’ interpretation of these movies,a combination of live-action filmmaking techniques,virtual-reality methods and computer-generated imaginary,depends largely on how you feel about the original.The stories,even with a gently updated script,are roughly the same.If you’ve seen the original,you know how the rest of them go.
In the following years,we’ll also watch other Disney’s remakes such as Mulan.Any children raised by Disney films would think that this is a great time to be alive.Right?
But judging by critics’ ratings of some live-action movies,it seems that the powerful studio has been unable to wow audiences.
So why more live actions?
The money
Let’s face it:Walt Disney Pictures is all about generating more revenue(收入).Even though it did not manage to capture critics,it still managed to catch the audience’s hearts.And that is more than enough.After all,films are not made to entertain critics;it’s all about creating an ultimate cinematic experience for casual moviegoers.And as long as they’re entertained with new interpretations of beloved stories,why stop making live-action films?
Inclusion
When you spend your entire childhood dancing and singing along to these characters,it’s beyond magical to see them again when you’re an adult and are the same age as them.That’s one of the few magical effects of movies.Not to mention,Aladdin’s South Asian cast is also a strong statement for the world.Perhaps this is also the reason why Disney wants Mulan to have an all Asian cast.Let’s hope they’re not the only ones and Disney is bringing more diverse stories to be told.
Nostalgia(怀旧)
All of these Disney remakes are designed to fuel the nostalgia of boomers,Gen X-ers and millennials,and many of the moviegoers who grew up with these movies,in particular,now have young kids of their own.Little wonder the studio is seeing big dollar signs in them.
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了迪士尼的电影。
21.Disney productions are parents’ first choice for kids because they .
A.promote children’s overall health
B.don’t need booking in advance
C.don’t need a screen to enjoy them
D.have been enjoying a good reputation
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第一段中的“...whether we are talking about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Frozen—that have long been considered safe,healthy choices for kids,...”可知,迪士尼电影对孩子们来说是安全健康的选择。由此推测,迪士尼享有很高的声誉。
22.Your feeling about the live-action films remade mainly relies on .
A.the filmmaking technology
B.the popularity of the films
C.the familiarity with the storyline
D.the computer-generated imaginary
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“How do you feel about directors’ interpretation of these movies,a combination of live-action filmmaking techniques,virtual-reality methods and computer-generated imaginary,depends largely on how you feel about the original.”可知,你对导演对电影呈现方式的感觉,很大程度上取决于你对原作的感觉。由此可知,C项正确。
23.In the author’s opinion,what could be the main reason for Disney’s more live actions?
A.It’s trying its best to satisfy both critics and audience.
B.It’s sparing no efforts to earn as much revenue as possible.
C.It’s seeking and adding global elements to make diverse stories.
D.It’s bringing back those sweet memories to its loyal aging fans.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据The money部分的第一句“Let’s face it:Walt Disney Pictures is all about generating more revenue.”可知,迪士尼影业旨在创造更多的收入,所以选B项。
B
(2020·辽宁协作校质检)
Fancy your own satellite?Arizona State University is working towards making this a reality with its SunCube FemtoSat project.Smaller than a standard CubeSat,the low-cost student-designed spacecraft is aimed at providing greater access to space for scientists and hobbyists alike.
Assistant professor Jekan Thanga and a team of students have been developing the SunCube FemtoSat for the past two years.The small 3×3×3 cm cube weighs in at just 35 g and a longer (3×3×9 cm,100 g) model has also been designed,which includes storage space.
Each SunCube FemtoSat has its own communication,data collection and propulsion(推进)systems and is powered by solar panels.It is made of off-the-shelf parts that are available in shops,and the energy-efficient solar panels are cut from scrap(碎片),which makes it save energy,sold at a discount by manufacturers.“With a spacecraft of this size,any university can do it,” says Thanga.“That’s part of our major goal—space discovery for everybody.”
The team says that while launching your own satellite would usually cost between US $60,000-70,000 per kilo,it would only cost $1,000 to send a SunCube FemtoSat to the International Space Station,and $3,000 to send it into low earth orbit.Leaving the earth’s gravity would cost an estimated $27,000.
The FemtoSat would be packed with a “jack in the box” style system that matches standard CubeSat sizes (around 10 cubic cm),simplifying the process of getting the tiny satellite into orbit.NASA has sent 30 CubeSats into space over the last few years,with another 50 awaiting launch.
Thanga and his staff view the FemtoSat as a starting point for scientists and students,and even hope the device could be bought on the website like Amazon one day.Thanga imagines developing four main applications for the device,including hands-on testing experiences for students,and artificial gravity experiments.In addition,groups of SunCube FemtoSats could eventually be able to do the job of larger spacecraft at a vastly discounted cost.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种微型卫星的成功研制以及将帮助大众探索太空的可能性。
24.What is the major goal of the SunCube FemtoSat project?
A.To act on teaching in outer space.
B.To provide access to spacecraft design.
C.To help carry out a classroom experiment.
D.To help average individuals explore space.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句中的“the low-cost student-designed spacecraft is aimed at providing greater access to space for scientists and hobbyists alike.”可知,研制这种卫星的主要目的是帮助大众探索太空。
25.What is special about SunCube FemtoSats?
A.They are of the same size.
B.They are energy-efficient.
C.They are mainly designed for lab use.
D.They are mainly used to collect information.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第三段的第一、二句中的“...is powered by solar panels.It is made of off-the-shelf parts that are available in shops,and the energy-efficient solar panels are cut from scrap,which makes it save energy”可知,这种卫星使用太阳能板供电,所用的材料都是节能环保的。
26.What does Thanga expect of SunCube FemtoSats?
A.They’ll be available online.
B.They’ll be provided for free.
C.They’ll match the size of CubeSats.
D.They’ll be sent into space with CubeSats.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句中的“even hope the device could be bought on the website like Amazon one day.”可知,他希望人们在网上能买到SunCube FemtoSats。
27.What can be the best title for the text?
A.FemtoSats Will Rule Space
B.Your Own Satellite Is Coming
C.Going into Space Has Been Affordable
D.You Can Design Your Own Spacecraft
答案B
解析标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“Fancy your own satellite?”和第三段中的“That’s part of our major goal—space discovery for everybody.”可知,B项“你自己的卫星就要来了”可概括文章的主要内容。

China is developing a system that recognises individuals by their body shape and walking movements.Systems that recognise human faces are already being used to identify people in crowds or as a secure way to unlock personal devices.
The new system,known as “gait recognition”,is already on trial by police on the streets of Beijing and Shanghai.The Chinese technology company Watrix developed the system.The company announced last month that it had raised $14.5 million to speed up the development and sale of the technology.
The system works in a similar way to face recognition.Cameras capture video of people in public places.Then,machines powered by artificial intelligence (AI) examine and study the video.
Facial recognition systems identify the shapes and expressions on a person’s face to identify them.Gait recognition uses a person’s body shape and their way of walking to identify them.The system records a person’s shape and movements and then creates a model of the way they walk.
Huang Yongzhen is a former researcher who co-founded Watrix in 2016.He told the Associated Press his system can identify people from up to 50 metres away.It is designed to work even when a person’s face is covered or hidden.Huang says his gait recognition system is correct 94 percent of the time.This is below the success rate of many face recognition systems.But he says the system can still be helpful to police and for other commercial purposes.He also believes the system can be effective when used together with face recognition.
Gait recognition is not new.The technology has been researched by scientists in Japan and Britain and by U.S. defense officials for about 10 years.But attempts to sell the technology have been slow.One of the reasons the technology has not developed further is that the systems are more complex than facial recognition.
【语篇解读】本文讲述了中国正在研发一款步态识别系统,该系统能通过体型和走路姿态来识别身份。
28.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.A system that can recognise human faces is around the corner.
B.It is tough to accurately follow a person in crowds.
C.A system that can identify a person by walking is being developed.
D.A new system that can check a body shape is underway.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“China is developing a system that recognises individuals by their body shape and walking movements.”可知,目前正在开发一款通过身形和行走来识别身份的系统,所以选C项。
29.What do you know about Watrix mentioned in the passage?
A.It has invented a lot of systems adopted by the police.
B.It has earned $14.5 million by inventing the system.
C.It has become famous for the face recognition system.
D.It has got well prepared for the new system.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句“The company announced last month that it had raised $14.5 million to speed up the development and sale of the technology.”可知,该公司已经筹集了1450万美元,以加快该技术的开发和销售。由此推测,该公司已经为新系统做好充足的准备工作,故选D项。
30.Facial recognition is similar to gait recognition because .
A.cameras catch video of people’s expressions
B.a person’s body shape can be recognised very easily
C.cameras record video of a person in public places
D.a person’s action will be sent to the police
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第三段的“Cameras capture video of people in public places”可知,两种识别系统的相似之处是:摄像机捕捉公共场所人们的视频。因此C项正确。
31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Japan and Britain kept a secret about the system.
B.The systems of gait recognition are hard to develop.
C.Gait recognition will suffer a poor market very soon.
D.Almost no one understands how gait recognition runs.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段的“the systems are more complex than facial recognition”可知,该系统因为比较复杂而未能深入开发,由此可知B项正确。

(2020·全国卷Ⅰ)
Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend.There’s a welcome familiarity—but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both,and thus the relationship.But books don’t change,people do.And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register.It’s true,the older I get,the more I feel time has wings.But with reading,it’s all about the present.It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now,because reading is a give and take between author and reader.Each has to pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually.The first,which I take to reading every spring,is Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast.Published in 1964,it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris.The language is almost intoxicating(令人陶醉的),an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time.Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm,her poetic 1975 ramble(随笔) about everything and nothing.The third book is Julio Cort?zar’s Save Twilight:Selected Poems,because poetry.And because Cort?zar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books,these three were given to me as gifts,which might add to the meaning I attach to them.But I imagine that,while money is indeed wonderful and necessary,rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them.The best books are the ones that open further as time passes.But remember,it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。作者讲述了自己喜欢重读书籍的原因以及每年必重读的三本书的内容及其感悟。
32.Why does the author like rereading?
A.It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.
B.It’s a window to a whole new world.
C.It’s a substitute for drinking with a friend.
D.It extends the understanding of oneself.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“There’s a welcome familiarity—but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both,and thus the relationship.But books don’t change,people do.”可知,重新阅读书会让你感觉到时间改变了自己。第二段的第一句表明重新阅读书籍的美妙之处在于我们与作品的关系基于我们当前的心理状态。由此可知,作者喜欢重读书的原因在于读书加深了他对自己的理解。
33.What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast?
A.It’s a brief account of a trip.
B.It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man.
C.It’s a record of a historic event.
D.It’s about Hemingway’s friends in Paris.
答案B
解析细节理解题。由文章第三段中的“...an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time.”可知,A Moveable Feast是描写海明威早年生活的回忆录。故选B项。
34.What does the underlined word “currency” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Debt. B.Reward.
C.Allowance. D.Face value.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据上文的“while money is indeed wonderful and necessary,...”并结合下文的“a reader can pay them”可知,该词的意思应该与“money”相关,此处的意思是“重读作者的书是给予他们最高的奖励(报酬)”。debt“债务”;reward“报酬,奖励,回报”;allowance“津贴,补贴”;face value“面值”。分析四个选项可知选B项。
35.What can we infer about the author from the text?
A.He loves poetry.
B.He’s an editor.
C.He’s very ambitious.
D.He teaches reading.
答案A
解析推理判断题。由文章第三段中的“The third book is Julio Cort?zar’s Save Twilight:Selected Poems,because poetry.And because Cort?zar.”可知,作者最喜欢重读的第三本书籍是Save Twilight:Selected Poems,是一本诗选,且其中的两个because起到了强调作用。由此推测作者喜欢诗歌。故选A项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In order to make the introduction to robotics as simple as possible for many people I’ve created a mobile robot kit for experimenters called ARobot.
ARobot comes in kit(装备) form. 36 This allows you to get your robot working in a couple of hours instead of a couple of months or more.
37 One of the first things you get to do is decide on a paint job for your new robot.
ARobot uses the Basic Stamp Ⅱ controller. 38 There is plenty of expansion room on ARobot and an entire set of web pages that show you how to attach a digital compass,sonar range finder,light sensors and other devices at the website.
ARobot is designed to be about the same price as a typical “from scratch” robot but without all the hassle(麻烦).You’ll also find a gallery of images and a frequently-asked-questions section.
ARobot is also the subject of “Robot Building for Dummies” where the reader is shown how to add a temperature sensor,motion detector,video camera,and speech. 39
I hope this article helps you without sounding like a commercial.I’ve been building robots ever since I was a kid and I love helping others do the same. 40
A.You will find it easy to make a robot.
B.I am sure you’re going to LOVE ROBOTICS!
C.It is very popular and very easy to program.
D.In this way,you can get the robot working immediately.
E.However,the circuit board(电路板) and cables are pre-built and tested.
F.You can find it at Amazon and at most bookstores.
G.ARobot is made of metal,not plastic or wood like some of the other robots out there.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文主要向机器人爱好者介绍了ARobot的制造过程。
36.E 根据“This allows you to get your robot...”中的“This”可知,所填的句子应该是一种方法且与上文是转折关系,所以填E项。
37.G 根据“你要做的第一件事情就是给新机器人喷漆”可知,G项“Arobot是金属制作的……”是喷漆的原因。
38.C 根据本段第一句中的“Basic Stamp Ⅱ controller”可知,该机器人使用的是非常流行且易于操作的程序,所以选C项。
39.F 前面提到的“Robot Building for Dummies”是一本书,F项“你可以在亚马逊和大部分的书店里找到它”顺接了上文的意思。
40.B 本文主要向机器人爱好者介绍了ARobot的制造过程。所填的句子是文章的结尾句,B项“我相信你们会喜欢机器人学的”可作为文章的结尾。

We 42 suitcases with necessary clothes.We took the 43 we worked with.We took financial records—who wants to bother himself with the government over 44 documents?Now,what else?We seized the valuable family 45 from the walls,which couldn’t be replaced.
Then we took a hard look at all that remained.A lamp that belonged to my great grandmother.A 46 my wife learned to play as a kid.A large tent for which we spent months 47 money for camping.Bedroom furniture we wanted to pass down to our 48 some day.The gifts that decorated our house from our treasured friends.These things 49 our love as a family and friends.It was 50 to move everything from our home.Looking around at all that we might lose,I found it difficult to say goodbye.But 51 ,I felt warm.
We were 52 with memories as we 53 at these items.Each had stories to tell just like the photos.They told about where we’d been,where we 54 were and where we were going.They were 55 of those people we loved and who loved us.Now I didn’t think my “things” meant that much to me.Indeed,the spirit of them was all that truly mattered.
【语篇解读】本文记叙了作者一家的一次疏散经历。由于疏散过程中只能随身携带一些必需物品,对于那些无法带走的回忆,作者很伤感。但这样的经历让作者明白有些东西只是身外之物,生命中有人爱你,你也爱着他们,这才是最重要的。

62.on/upon 考查介词。此处表示专注于研发AI技术和智能宾馆。focus on/upon是固定搭配,意为“集中”,故填on/upon。
63.Travellers 考查名词。此处表示通过Smart LYZ的微信网页,旅客们就能预订房间。根据语境可知,此处应用名词的复数形式。
64.given 考查形容词。根据空前的a和空后的名词passcode可知,此处应用形容词given“特定的”。
65.creating 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,主语The AI Smart Room与create为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用create的现在分词形式creating。

Life Back on Earth
It is 7 am in the morning and the alarm reminds me once again to prepare for the school.It is a beautiful day with clear sky and lots of bright sunshine.But I don’t have time to soak into this because my school vehicle will come at 8 sharp and in case I miss,my parent will give me a beating.So better run.
My school bus just took off and drove past the residential towers.It takes only 5 minutes to reach the school where each of us will have designated routines to follow and any deviation will be caught on CCTV and reported back to my parents online on their desk.After all,it is the year 2300.
Oh yes!We are the 4th generation people living on Europa in a habitable space which has been created specifically for us by man in the 22nd century.The earth became dangerous for living due to increasing pollution which our forefathers created and hence mankind had to look to other places for a living.All over the world,a handful of people were selected and my great grandparents travelled all the way to this place to continue a life.
It is 12 pm and lunchtime.Today we were served some delicious cream and chocolates.These are made on planet Mars these days and brought here directly.I am feeling a little sleepy but my robotic teacher won’t give me a break and also our results will be out today.I am feeling a little tensed.
Oh my God!I have come first in my class,feeling over the moon (Or,over the Europa).And,you won’t believe me—I have got a chance to visit the earth along with others on a day trip.I am so excited about the trip and my parents are equally so.I am carrying my latest camera to catch every moment of the journey.
Finally we are on the earth after the 4 hours’ journey and we are in our organo-synthetic suit to protect against the harmful environment where once mankind took their first breath.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
There are still some colonies of humans spreading across the globe mostly in the triangular land mass (historians say it Africa) and I am very eager to see them closely.
It is getting darker and we had to go back.
参考范文
There are still some colonies of humans spreading across the globe mostly in the triangular land mass (historians say it Africa) and I am very eager to see them closely. Upon arrival,we found ourselves deep in hazy atmosphere,which,as my robot guide tells me,is the result of air pollution.We were almost out of breath,so we had to look for some places where we could breathe.How could mankind survive here?I wondered.Luckily,we escaped and landed near a school,where some crazy kids are running around a ball on an open ground,shouting “Goal,Goal,Goal” all the time.My robot guide told me that it was called “Football”—the most popular game on the earth.I thought of my game of “Alien Invasion” which is more exciting.Then we continued our trip...
It is getting darker and we had to go back.While back,I still thought about the air pollution,the dirty water,the bare land on the earth.I can’t understand why mankind didn’t care about their home?Though I carried my camera,I took few pictures.The journey to the earth made me sad for those who live in that place.
