B.Inaliteraturebook.C.Inanairportguidebook. D.Inanofficialdocument.【答案】21.B22.D23.C【解析】文章是说明文，主要描述怎样成为有礼貌的航空乘客。【21题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“Letthemiddle­seatpassengerusethearmrests(it'stheleastyoucando),”让坐在中间的乘客使用扶手(这是你至少可以做的)，可知，并不是要乘客随意使用扶手，所以B项是错误的。故选B项。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ifyou'retravelingalone,offertoswitchseatssothatafamilycansitbesideeachother;it'sakindgesturethattheywon'tforget.Butbesuretodelayswappinguntiltheplanehasreachedthesafealtitude，”如果你独自旅行，主动交换座位，这样一家人就可以坐在一起；这是一个他们不会忘记的友好的姿态。但一定要等到飞机到达安全高度后再切换。可知，如果别人想和你交换座位，你应该等到足够安全的时候再交换。故选D项。【23题详解】推理判断题。从第一句话“Beingapoliteairlinepassengerstartswithjustafeweasysteps.”要做一个有礼貌的航空乘客，只需几个简单的步骤。可知，全文是介绍怎样做一个有礼貌的航空乘客，所以是和坐飞机相关，来源可能是机场指南。故选C项。BDrivenbyherpassionforprovidingqualityhealthcare,aLatvianwomanhaswonovertheheartsoftheelderlyresidinginthenursinghomesheoversees.ItisincrediblyraretofindaCaucasianwomanworkingasthedirectorofanursinghomeinShanghai.ButthefactthatAnastasijaPuzankovacanevenconverseinLiantang,aChinesedialectspokenonlybyresidentsinasmalltowninsouthwesternShanghai,makesheroneofakind.“Ihadalwayswonderedhowtheelderlyweregettingalongwithothers,oriftheywerewellcaredfor.IrealizedthatIcouldbetterservethemandunderstandtheirconcernsifIspoketheirdialect.”saysthe35yearold,whoalsospeaksRussian,English,Latvian,FrenchandSpanish.PuzankovachosetostudySinology(汉学)outofhercuriosityaboutChinaattheUniversityofLatviain2003.Thenextyear,shetraveledtoShanghaiaspartofanexchangeprogramandthenshespentthenext10yearsstudyinglawatFudanUniversity,graduatingwithamaster'sdegreein2014.Despiteherqualifications,in2018,PuzankovajoinedHaiyangGroup,aShanghaibasedpanythatoperatesthenursinghome,asanexecutiveassistant.Duringthatperiod,sheperformedsowellinhernursingandmanagementtrainingthatshewasappointedthedirectorofthehomeafterjustoneyear.Acaregiver,surnamedCai,saystheatmosphereatthehomehaschangedsincePuzankovatookcharge.“Shemakeslifeinthenursinghomeupliftingandpurposeful.”saysCai.“Shethrowsmonthlybirthdaypartiesfortheelderly,createsafestivemoodinthehomeforeverytraditionalfestivalandfrequentlyorganizeshandicraftsclassesandactivitiestostimulatethemindsoftheresidents.”Whenfamilyvisitsandgroupactivitiesweredelayedduringthenovelcoronavirusoutbreak,Puzankovacameupwithasimilarideaatthehome,purchasingvegetableseedsandgrowingtheminthefieldnearthenursinghomesothattheresidentscanobservetheplantsgrowingfromtheirwindows.“Justwatchingtheplantsgrowcanlifttheirspirits.Wecanalsoservetheseorganicvegetablestothem.”sheexplains.Puzankovasays“Isimplylikemunicatingwithpeople,understandingtheirpersonalitiesandofferinghelpwhentheyareinneed.Makinganelderlypersonhappyisn'thard.Itjusttakesalittletime,loveandthought.”24.WhydidAnastasijaPuzankovalearntheChinesedialectLiantang?A.Tosatisfyhersuperior.B.Toresearchitshistoryandpopularity.C.Tomunicatewiththeelderlybetter.D.Toproveherlanguagelearningcapacity.25.Duringthenovelcoronavirusoutbreak,Puzankova____________.A.forbadefamilyvisitsforever.B.createdafestivemoodinthehome.C.organizedsomeoutdooractivitiesfortheelderly.D.plantedsomevegetablesfortheelderlytowatchindoors.26.WhatcanwelearnfromPuzankova’sstory?A.Timetests.B.Hardworkpaysoff.C.Lovebreaksdownbarriers.D.Educationisthekeytosuccess.27.Thebesttitleofthepassagecouldbe“_________”.A.AforeignfacewithalocalsoulB.AlanguageexpertwithalovingheartC.AnursinghomewithawomandirectorD.Anexecutiveassistantwithamaster’sdegree【答案】24.C25.D26.C27.A【解析】本文是新闻报道，主要介绍了来自拉脱维亚的AnastasijaPuzankova担任了上海的敬老院院长，她积极融入当地文化，学习当地方方言，全心关爱着老人。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Ihadalwayswonderedhowtheelderlyweregettingalongwithothers,oriftheywerewellcaredfor.IrealizedthatIcouldbetterservethemandunderstandtheirconcernsifIspoketheirdialect,”我总是想知道老年人是如何与他人相处的，或者他们是否得到了很好的照顾。我意识到，如果我说他们的方言，就能更好地服务他们，理解他们的担忧。可知AnastasijaPuzankova学中国方言的原因是为了更好地与老人交流。故选C项。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Whenfamilyvisitsandgroupactivitiesweresuspendedduringthenovelcoronavirusoutbreak,Puzankovaimplementedasimilarideaatthehome,purchasingvegetableseedsandgrowingtheminthefieldnearthenursinghomesothattheresidentscanobservetheplantsgrowingfromtheirwindows.”在新型冠状病毒爆发期间，当家庭访问和集体活动暂停时，Puzankova在家中也实施了类似的想法，购买蔬菜种子并在养老院附近的地里种植，以便居民可以从窗口观察植物的生长。可知在疫情期间Puzankova种了一些蔬菜供居民在屋内欣赏。故选D项。【26题详解】推理判断题。综合全文，根据第一段“Drivenbyherpassionforprovidingqualityhealthcare,aLatvianwomanhaswonovertheheartsoftheelderlyresidinginthenursinghomesheoversees.”在提供高质量医疗服务的热情推动下，一位拉脱维亚女性赢得了住在她管理的养老院老人的心。AnastasijaPuzankova身为外国人，在上海的敬老院担任院长，她积极融入当地文化，学习当地方方言，全心关爱着老人。我们能从AnastasijaPuzankova的故事中学到爱打破一切障碍。故选C项。【27题详解】主旨大意题。主要介绍了来自拉脱维亚的AnastasijaPuzankova担任了上海的敬老院院长，她积极融入当地文化，学习当地方方言，全心关爱着老人。“Aforeignfacewithalocalsoul”一张带着本土灵魂的外国面孔，为短文最佳标题。故选A项。CInspring,chickensstartlayingagain,bringingawelesourceofproteinatwinter’send.Soit’snosurprisethatculturesaroundtheworldcelebratespringbyhonoringtheegg.Sometraditionsaresimple,liketheredeggsthatgetbakedintoGreekEasterbreads.Otherselevatetheeggintoafancyart,liketheheavilyjewelcovered“eggs”thatwerefavoredbytheRussiansstartinginthe19thcentury.OneancientformofeggartestousfromUkraine.Forcenturies,Ukrainianshavebeendrawingplicatedpatternsoneggs.Contemporaryartist

【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段内容“Inspring,chickensstartlayingagain,bringingawelesourceofproteinatwinter’send.Soit’snosurprisethatculturesaroundtheworldcelebratespringbyhonoringtheegg.（春天，鸡又开始下蛋，在冬天结束时带来了令人愉快的蛋白质来源。所以，世界各地的文化通过纪念鸡蛋来庆祝春天也就不足为奇了。）”可知鸡蛋是春天来临的可喜迹象，故选B。

【29题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下一句“liketheheavilyjewelcovered“eggs”thatwerefavoredbytheRussiansstartinginthe19thcentury.（就像19世纪开始俄罗斯人喜欢的，镶满宝石的鸡蛋一样。）”这个例子可知，有人把鸡蛋升华成一种奇特的艺术品，B项promote（提升，促进）符合句意，所以evaluate在本句中的含义为升华，促进，故选B。

【30题详解】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段内容“Butthere’sanappealinthatvulnerability(易损性).“There’spartofthissickeninghorrorofknowingyou’rewalkingontheedgewiththis,thatIkindoflike,knowingthatitcouldallfallapartatanysecond.”（但这种脆弱也有一种吸引力。“知道自己正走在悬崖边，这是一种令人恶心的恐惧，我有点喜欢，知道一切随时都可能破碎。”）”可知她在鸡蛋上做设计结束前都不知道鸡蛋什么时候会破，故选C。

【31题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第一句“Butthere’sanappealinthatvulnerability（这种易损性也有一种吸引力）”可知鸡蛋易碎，D项内容提到“鸡蛋提供了一个坚硬和独特的表面来作画”错误，符合题目要求，故选D。

D.objective【答案】32.A33.C34.C35.D【解析】本文是说明文。主要是介绍亚马逊的新产品飞行器AlwaysHomeCam能够检查微波炉是否是开着的。【32题详解】主旨大意题。由第一段“Amazonwantstobeabletoanswerthetroublesomequestion:DidIleavethestoveon?”亚马逊希望能够回答这个棘手的问题:我有没有让炉子开着？可知，用设问的方式引出主题“camera’’，所以本文主要是关于亚马逊的新产品飞行摄像头能够检查炉子是否是开着的。故选A项。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段的倒数第二句“Afteraflight,theAlwaysHomeCamautomaticallyreturnstoitsstationitselfforcharging.”飞行结束后，AlwaysHome摄像头会自动回到自己的位置充电。可知AlwaysHomeCam会自己充电，故选C项。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Thedronehasobstacleavoidancetechnologybuiltin,andhiddenpropellers(螺旋桨)tomitigateanydamagetohouseholdfurnishingintheeventofacollision.”这款无人机内置了避障技术，隐藏的螺旋桨可以在发生碰撞时减轻对家具的损害。可知它可以在碰撞发生时减轻家具的损坏，故选C项。【35题详解】推理判断题。根据第二、三段主要介绍了AlwaysHomeCam的优点。在根据最后一段“CriticshaveraisedprivacyconcernsaboutRing,whichisbestknownforitsdoorbellcameras,citingthepany’scloserelationshipwithpolicedepartments.Amazonsaidthedroneonlyrecordswhenitisintheair,andthatitmakesasoundwhenitfliessoanypeopleinthehouseknowsitsrecording”批评人士以该公司与警方关系密切为由，提出了对隐私的担忧。Ring以门铃摄像头而闻名。亚马逊表示，无人机只在空中进行录音，而且它飞行时会发出声音，所以屋子里的人都知道它的录音。作者没有对此产品发表自己的看法，而是陈述AlwaysHomeCam的优点和批评者的观点和亚马逊官方的回答，所以作者对于AlwaysHomeCam是客观的态度，故选D项。第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分,满分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。ToptipsfortheFluSeasonIt’sing.___36___Onthesubwayeverytimesomeonecoughs,IlookuptoseeifIcanmovealittlefurther.AsIexitthetrain,Iimmediatelyreachforhandwashtoremoveanyofthedirtonmyhands.Thefluseasonishere,andItakeitseriously.Ifyouareyoungandhealthy,it’smostlikelythatyouwilljustfeelunfortableforaweekortwo,andmisssomeworkorstudy.Ifyouareelderly,havingmedicalproblems,orareayoungchild,youmaynotbesolucky.Eachyearmorethan200,000peoplearestayinginhospitalduetotheillness.___37___Thebestwaytopreventthefluistogetvaccinated.Youmayhaveheardaboutanewstudyonfluvaccines,anditfoundthatthefluvaccinedidn’tworkaswellaswethoughtorwouldlike.___38___Inadults,thevaccineis59protectiveonaverage.Forchildrenthestoryisbetter.Clearly,weneedbettervaccinesbutit’sstillareallygoodideatogetvaccinated.___39___Youmayhaveanarmpainoralittlefever,buttheinjectiondoesnotcontainalivevirusandcannotgiveyoutheflu.Ifyougottheflushotlastyear,doyouneeditthisyear?Itisn’tclearhowlongprotectionlastsandifthevaccineprotectsagainstdifferentflusforonlyoneyear.Finally,hereissomeadviceaboutwhattodoifyougettheflu.Callyourdoctorearlyifyouhavethesymptoms.___40___Thatwillreducethenumberofpeopleyougivethisto.Coveryourcoughsandsneezes.Keepyourhandsclean.Usesoapandwaterorhandwashfrequently,especiallyaftercoughingorsneezing.Drinkplentyofwater.Bestwishesforahappyfluseason.A.Dependingontheyear,between3,000and49,000peopledie.B.Ithasalreadyattractedworldwideattention.C.However,itstilloffersconsiderableprotection.D.Stayathomeuntilyourfeverhasbeengoneforatleast24hours.E.Keepintouchwithyourfamilyasmuchaspossible.F.Cantheflushotgiveyoutheflu?G.Icanfeelitintheair.【答案】36.G37.A38.C39.F40.D【解析】本文是说明文，介绍了应对流感的几种小贴士。【36题详解】前文说它来了，后文说自己看到别人咳嗽时都会离远一些，结合标题可以猜测这里指的是流感来了。It’sing中的it和G项中的it都指代标题中的Flu。故G选项“我能感觉到它票在空中”切题。故选G项。【37题详解】该空前谈到每年有二十多万人因流感而住院，A选项顺承谈到很多人因流感而死亡。故A选项“根据年份的不同，有3000到49000人死亡。”切题。故选A项。【38题详解】该空前说发现流感疫苗并没有我们想的那样有效，C选项用however,itstilloffersconsiderableprotection.“然而，它仍然提供了相当大的保护”该句前后内容是转折关系，workaswellas对应considerableprotection。故选C项。【39题详解】该空后的语段谈论了注射流感疫苗的症状和防控流感的效果。很好的回答了F项提问的内容。故F选项“流感疫苗能让你得流感吗？”切题。故选F项。【40题详解】该空后说这样可以减少你传染的人的数量。后文的代词that,承前指代D选项中的防控流感传播的具体措施。故D选项“待在家里，直到你退烧至少24小时。”Stayathome对应lreducethenumberofpeople。故选D项。第二部分语言运用（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。15yearsagowhenIwasplayingbasketballinoneofAustralia’spremierbasketballleagues,Irememberasportspsychologistwehadfortheseason.Asyoungprofessionalathleteswithhighegos(自我价值感),theteamwerenotquiteconvincedthetechniquesofpsychologywould___41___performance,especiallywhenitdidn’tinvolveusingthephysicalstrengthandenduranceneededto___42___theweeksoftrainingandgames.I,___43___,wasinterested.Weweretrainedinavisualizationtechniqueusedbeforegames.Itinvolvedmovingourselvesintoameditative(冥想的)stateandtakingourselvesonajourneyintothe___44___torecreatetheexperienceofagame,From___45___home,gettingtothestadium,beinginthechangeroom,walkingoutontothe___46___andthenfinallyvisualizinghowwewouldplayandseeourselves___47___.Themostimportantpartofthe___48___wastobringtolifethevividdetailsofeachstage,whilealsofocusingonthe___49___thatcamewithit.Weweretrainedto___50___fear,doubtandlearnedtogobeyondthem,sothatbythetimewegotontothecourt,weweregrounded,___51___andreadytoplay.WhatIlearntmostfromthistechniquewasthatwinninggameswasimportantbuthowwe___52___toplaywasevenmorevital.And
