Racing is nothing new for Sebastian Rosado. He was born with cerebral palsy（脑瘫）, which affects a person's ability to move. Though most of his life has been limited to a wheel-chair, he has done at least one race a year since 2011.
It was about a decade ago that his mother, Jaime, was training for a race in Puerto Rico, and Sebastian asked if he could accompany her. She'd have to push him in the wheelchair because his arm functions are limited, and she was okay with that. However, the race wouldn't allow it. Then, Sebastian's family decided to make a special race for children like Sebastian. The race gives them a chance to prove that despite being told from a young age that they might not be able to do some things in their lives, they can also become what they wish to be in life.
Sebastian has run it every year using a special walker. Each year, he tries to outdo his previous goal. Instead of just 5 km in 2020, he wanted to attempt to run 21 km over 30 days. Sebastian's plan is to complete the distance by May 9, accounting for completing 1 km, at most, in a day.
Sebastian used to train in a track and field facility close to home, and it's amazing to hear runners telling him things like, "Wow , sometimes I don't have the strength to train but when I see you doing this, I feel that I have no excuse," 62 swimmers are joining Sebastian's challenge this month by swimming 800 meters each one.
Sebastian has a saying that your disability is not in your body, but in your mind. It's really powerful. If you promise yourself you'll do something, you can achieve it by using your mind.
24．What is the Rosados' purpose of setting up a special race?
A．To collect money for medical research.
B．To realize Sebastian's wish to run in a formal race.
C．To encourage disabled children to make a difference.
D．To allow Sebastian to accompany his mother in races.
25．How does Sebastian run the special race?
A．His mother pushes him.
B．He runs in a wheelchair.
C．He finishes 21 km in one go.
D．He runs with special equipment.
26．Which of the following words can best describe Sebastian?
A．Humourous. B．Inspiring. C．Helpful. D．Talented.
27．What does Sebastian think of disability?
A．There is no disability at all.
B．Mind can cure any disability.
C．Real disability exists mentally.
D．The disability is very powerful.
C
Attention to the fight against climate change tends to be focused on trees, but 75%of the planet's surface is covered by the ocean, and a natural process taking place underwater has excited scores of investors at the recent World Economic Forum who may want to help.
During the recent wildfires in the Amazon rainforest, journalists often described trees as the “lungs of the world”, but that title most certainly belongs to phytoplankton, which alone refreshes nearly 50%of the atmospheric oxygen on planet earth, the value of four Amazons.
And, in the effort to stop the warming of the planet, our greatest assistants could belong to whales, because of the great amount of their excrement left in the sea.
A new paper published by economist Dr. Ralph Chianti highlights the influence that whales, especially blue whales, and their excrement have on climate change. It is all due to whales' excrement in the diets of phytoplankton.
The tiny marine algae floats at the center of several marine food webs, and they provide food for a host of sea creatures including whales, while also requiring whales' excrement to feed on. They also require CO2 to survive, just like trees.
Whales, after deep-sea dives for krill, return to the surface and release excrement, which is rich in nitrogen and iron, into the top ocean layer, which provides a key food source for phytoplankton.
In his paper, Dr. Chiami suggests that since phytoplankton populations expand wherever whales are,a significant effort should be made to fight against climate change by encouraging the growth and protection of whale populations. “At a minimum, even a 1% increase in phytoplankton productivity thanks to whale activity would capture hundreds of millions of tons of additional CO2 a year, which is equal to the sudden appearance of 2 billion mature trees,” says Chiami.
28．What makes the investors excited?
A．Trees' function as “lungs of the world”.
B．Phytoplankton's ability to create oxygen.
C．The success of the World Economic Forum.
D．People's continuous fight against climate change.
29．Why are whales called our assistants in fighting global warming?
A．They refresh much oxygen. B．They never send out CO2.
C．They kill much phytoplankton. D．They supply food to phytoplankton.
30．Which can best describe the relationship between phytoplankton and whales?
A．Complex. B．Competitive. C．Interdependent. D．Distant.
31．What does Chiami advise us to do?
A．Rebuild food webs. B．Try to protect whales.
C．Grow more phytoplankton. D．Restrict population explosion.
D
“This has gone as well as I could have dreamed, and I can fly in the near future!” Yes, Alyssa Carson, a now-18-year-old astronaut from Baton Rouge, Louisiana is capable. For her, riding the most aggressive roller coaster in the park is not a big deal. If all goes according to her plans, NASA will send her to Mars in 2033, making her the first human to step foot on the planet. She will spend two to three years living there, growing food, performing science experiments and searching for signs of life. “The Martian is actually very accurate,” she said. “A lot of things that happened in the movie are similar to what is going to happen.” She has devoted her entire life to preparing for her journey.
Her love for space started when she watched a cartoon called The Backyardigans at the age of 3. Five animal pals on imaginary adventures in their backyard, including one part-a mission to Mars. “I thought ‘This red planet is so cool!’” she said. “I started watching videos of rovers’ landing on Mars. I had a large map of Mars in my room which I would look at every day. I started getting telescopes so I could look at space.
At 7, her father took her to space camp in Huntsville, Alabama. “That was the weekend of my life.” she said. I got to learn everything I had been wanting to know and I got to see a life-size rocket.” She cherished the rocket so much that she returned 18 times. At 12, she became the first person in history to attend all three NASA space camps in Huntsville, Alabama; Quebec, Canada and Izmir, Turkey.
At first she mastered the basics of space and how humans have explored it throughout time. As she got older she simulated (模拟) missions, trying to reach a destination in gravity-free, weightless zones.
When she was 9, she met NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus. The experienced explorer told her she was her age when she decided to go to space. At that moment Alyssa knew her love of space was not a hobby. “I did the same thing as other kids, like switching my mind about careers, wanting to be a teacher or the president one day,” she said. “But the way I always thought about it was I would become an astronaut, go to Mars, come back, and then be a teacher or the president.”
32．Which of the following about Alyssa Carson is right?
A．She has created model missions to Mars.
B．She is the youngest one who has completed astronaut training.
C．She is likely to be the first human to perform different tasks on Mars.
D．She has visited the space camp in Huntsville,Alabama for nearly 30 times.
33．What’s supposed to be stressed by referring to NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus?
A．The power of space dreams.
B．The popularity of space travel.
C．The importance of career choices
D．The excitement of her space experiences.
34．What can’t be inferred from the article?
A．The Backyardigans is a cartoon for kids.
B．Alyssa will have many tasks to complete if she lands on Mars successfully.
C．Alyssa was forced to learn the basics of space science by her father.
D．Alyssa enjoys riding roller coasters like many other young people.
35．What does the author intend to do in writing the passage?
A．To introduce American space industry.
B．To promote the values of American teens.
C．To encourage tours to Mars.
D．To present a rising American space star.

【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“Attention to the fight against climate change tends to be focused on trees, but 75%of the planet's surface is covered by the ocean, and a natural process taking place underwater has excited scores of investors at the recent World Economic Forum who may want to help.(对抗气候变化的注意力往往集中在树木上，但地球表面的75%被海洋所覆盖，而在最近的世界经济论坛上，水下发生的自然过程令许多投资者兴奋不已，他们可能想要提供帮助)”以及第二段“During the recent wildfires in the Amazon rainforest, journalists often described trees as the “lungs of the world”, but that title most certainly belongs to phytoplankton, which alone refreshes nearly 50%of the atmospheric oxygen on planet earth, the value of four Amazons.(在最近发生的亚马逊雨林野火中，记者们经常把树木描述为“世界的肺”，但这个头衔肯定属于浮游植物，仅它们就能更新地球上近50%的大气氧气，这相当于四个亚马逊人的价值)”可推知，浮游植物制造氧气的能力让投资者感到兴奋。故选B。
29．【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“And, in the effort to stop the warming of the planet, our greatest assistants could belong to whales, because of the great amount of their excrement left in the sea.(而且，在阻止地球变暖的努力中，我们最伟大的助手可能是鲸鱼，因为它们在海洋中留下了大量的粪便)”和第四段“A new paper published by economist Dr. Ralph Chianti highlights the influence that whales, especially blue whales, and their excrement have on climate change. It is all due to whales' excrement in the diets of phytoplankton. (经济学家Ralph Chianti博士发表的一篇新论文强调了鲸鱼，尤其是蓝鲸及其粪便对气候变化的影响。这都是由于鲸鱼的粪便在浮游植物的饮食中)”可知，鲸鱼被称为我们对抗全球变暖的助手因为它们为浮游植物提供食物。故选D。
30．【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段“The tiny marine algae floats at the center of several marine food webs, and they provide food for a host of sea creatures including whales, while also requiring whales' excrement to feed on. They also require CO2 to survive, just like trees.(这种微小的海藻漂浮在几个海洋食物网的中心，它们为包括鲸鱼在内的许多海洋生物提供食物，同时也需要鲸鱼的粪便为食。它们也需要二氧化碳才能生存，就像树木一样)”以及第六段“Whales, after deep-sea dives for krill, return to the surface and release excrement, which is rich in nitrogen and iron, into the top ocean layer, which provides a key food source for phytoplankton.( 鲸鱼在深海潜水觅食磷虾后，返回海面，将富含氮和铁的排泄物释放到海洋顶层，这是浮游植物的主要食物来源)”可推知，浮游植物和鲸鱼为彼此提供食物，它们是相互依赖的关系。故选C。
31．【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In his paper, Dr. Chiami suggests that since phytoplankton populations expand wherever whales are,a significant effort should be made to fight against climate change by encouraging the growth and protection of whale populations. (在他的论文中，Chiami博士建议，既然浮游植物的数量在鲸鱼所在的任何地方都在增长，那么我们就应该通过鼓励鲸鱼数量的增长和保护来应对气候变化)”可知，Chiami建议人们保护鲸鱼，以帮助浮游植物的生长，从而达到吸收二氧化碳、保护环境的目的。故选B。

【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段第一句Her love for space started when she watched a cartoon called The Backyardigans at the age of 3.“她对太空的热爱始于她3岁时看了一部名为The Backyardigans的动画片。”可知，The Backyardigans是给孩子们看的卡通片。故排除A项；根据第一段中She will spend two to three years living there, growing food, performing science experiments and searching for signs of life.“她将在那里生活两到三年，种植食物，做科学实验，寻找生命迹象。”可知，如果Alyssa成功登陆火星，她将有很多任务要完成。故排除B项；根据第三段第一句At 7, her father took her to space camp in Huntsville, Alabama.“7岁时，她的父亲带她去了阿拉巴马州亨茨维尔的太空营。”可知，Alyssa的父亲要求她学习空间科学的基础知识。故排除C项；根据第一段 For her, riding the most aggressive roller coaster in the park is not a big deal.对她来说，在公园里乘坐最具攻击性的过山车并不是什么大事。推断不出D项Alyssa enjoys riding roller coasters like many other young people.（Alyssa和许多年轻人一样喜欢坐过山车。）故选D。

【详解】
61.【答案】responsibility
【解析】考查名词。句意：责任完全在印度方面。分析句子可知，lies为句子的谓语动词，且为第三人称单数，空处作句子的主语，responsible负责任的，为形容词，此处应该用名词单数作主语，故改为对应的名词形式responsibility。故填responsibility。
62.【答案】which
【解析】考查定语从句关系词。句意：中方从两国两军关系大局出发，采取高度克制，缓和局势，体现了中国作为大国的大度和高度责任感。分析句子可知，句子为非限制性定语从句，先行词为“China has exercised a high degree of restriction to cool down and ease the situation”整句话，作后面定语从句主语，用which引导。故填which。
63.【答案】However
【解析】考查连词。句意：然而，印方一再夸大这一事件，歪曲事实，误导国际舆论。分析句意，根据后文“the Indian side has…overstated this incident and twisted the truth”可知，此处表示语义上的转折，用However“然而”引起下文。故填However。
64.【答案】repeatedly
【解析】考查副词。句意同上。空处放在has overstated之间，修饰谓语，用副词作句子的状语。repeat重复，故改为对应的副词形式repeatedly“反复地”。故填repeatedly。
65.【答案】has revealed
【解析】考查时态。句意：到目前为止，《解放军日报》已经披露了事情的真相，人们将会更好地了解到底发生了什么，谁对谁错。空处作句子的谓语，结合时间To date“到目前为止”可知，句子为现在完成时，the PLA Daily与reveal为主动关系。故填has revealed。
66.【答案】better

68.【答案】resolving
【解析】考查动名词。句意：我们始终致力于通过对话妥善解决分歧，维护边境地区的和平与稳定。分析句子可知，be committed to doing sth.为固定搭配，意思为：致力于做某事，to为介词，后面用动名词。故填resolving。

第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 短文改错（共10小题：每小题1分，满分10分）
这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者高中最后一年开学后的学习生活。
71.【答案】start→started
【解析】考查时态。句意：从我高中最后一年开学到现在已经过了半年了。since“自从”，其后句子用一般过去时。所以start改为started。故start改为started。
72.【答案】Because后加of
【解析】考查固定短语。句意：因为即将到来的期末考试，我的日程安排很紧。because“因为”，其后跟句子；because of“因为”，其后跟名词或名词短语，本句中the coming final exam为名词短语，所以because后加of。故Because后结of。
73.【答案】health→healthy
【解析】考查形容词。句意：为了保持健康，我每天留出30分钟锻炼。keep healthy“保持健康”，所以health改为healthy。故health改为healthy。
74.【答案】minute→minutes
【解析】考查名词复数。句意同上。minute“分钟”为可数名词，thirty为复数含义，所以minute改为minutes。故minute改为minutes。
75.【答案】how→what
【解析】考查名词性从句连接词。句意：面对学习上的困难，我尽最大努力提高我的成绩，避免犯错误。分析句子可知，to improve...为目的状语，to do后的内容为宾语从句，从句意义为我能做的事情，所以用连接代词what，故how改为what。
76.【答案】make→making
【解析】考查固定搭配。句意同上。短语avoid doing sth.“避免做某事”为固定结构，所以make改为making。故make改为making。
77.【答案】删除a
【解析】考查固定短语。句意：我的目标是在我梦想中的大学里学习政治，这需要大量的奉献精神，给我前进的动力。plenty of“大量，许多”，其前不见冠词，所以删去冠词a。故删除a.
78.【答案】toughly→tough
【解析】考查副词。句意：这就是我三年级的生活，艰难但愉快。根据an可知，前后的词性要一致，pleasant为形容词，所以副词toughly改为形容词tough。故toughly改为tough。
79.【答案】which→that
【解析】考查强调句型。句意：我的梦想推动我前进，并且我相信我最终会实现它。分析句子可知，本句使用了强调句型。强调句型：It is/was+ 被强调部分+that/who+其它，其基本特点为去掉It is/was和that/who后，句子重写后仍然完整。本句重写后为：My dream pushes me ahead...，所以which改为that。故which改为that。
80.【答案】but→and
【解析】考查连词。句意同上。分析句子可知， I'm sure I will...与...pushes me ahead为顺承关系，所以but改为and。故but改为and。

W: Thanks... but... my apartment is just around the corner. Besides, I need the fresh air.

W: The manager will be back later if you can wait.
M: I’m sorry, but that’s no use to me. I have an urgent appointment to get to this afternoon.
W: Well, if you wait a minute, I’ll see if I can find someone else to help you.
M: OK.
7.

M: Actually, could you possibly give me his mobile number? It’s quite urgent.
W: I’m really sorry, but I am not allowed to.
M: Is there any chance of you ringing him for me and asking him to call me back?

M: OK. Can you tell me a little more? What type of hotels?
W: Well, a chain of four-and five-star hotels. We’re based in Switzerland, but on your website you don’t have an operator in Switzerland, so I thought Italy was the nearest.
M: That’s right, yes. We are in Florence.
W: Good. Well, we’re interested in updating our current fitness rooms for guests. Our current equipment’s rather out of date and our customers often comment on this.
M: OK. How many hotels are we talking about?
W: We currently have eight hotels with fitness equipment, and three others that need it.
M: And what budget do you have for this?
W: That’s difficult to say, actually. Would it be possible for someone to come and have a look?
M: Yes, of course. Actually, we’re coming to Switzerland next month. We already have a customer in Zurich. Is that near you?
W: Not too far. I’m in Bern. It’s only a couple of hours away.
M: Fine. Can we arrange a meeting then?
W: Sure. Let’s see...

Hello, there. Good afternoon! Thank you for your finding the time in your busy schedules to come to the international student office’s first meeting for students going abroad, to South America next autumn. By the way, if you haven’t already signed next to your name on our attendance lists —they’re on the table at the entrance to the school hall—be sure to do it on your way out. Remember, this meeting is a must for you, so you need to make sure we know that you’re here. All right, to begin, we’re going to be talking about health and specifically the procedures that you have to go through in order to get your student visas for your host country. For all of you, this will include gathering health information, such as proof from your doctors that you’re not suffering from any serious diseases that may pass to others. All the information that each of you will need can be found in your country handbook that you received when you were accepted into the program. Also, each one of you is required to meet with a doctor at the student health center who is specialized in travel medicine. The health center can give you information about appointment times, but be sure to book your appointment early, because the specialist is only at the health center at certain times. To have the benefit, you should have your meeting at least 4-6 weeks before your trip.
