B.Bored.C.Excited. D.Nervous.【解析】选A。观点态度题。根据倒数第二段HaddadisplanningtotakeherA.P.exam,thoughshefindsithardtoimaginewhattheforty-five-minute,cell-phone-friendlyversionofthetestwillbelike.可知哈达德对A.P.考试是怀疑的。故选A。3.Inwhichsectionofanewspapermaythepassageappear?A.Family. B.Society.C.Education. D.Health.【解析】选C。文章出处题。阅读全文可知本文主要讲述了由于新冠肺炎的爆发美国大学里的很多活动都被取消了,与此同时,哈达德的学校正在提供一些在线教学,哈达德计划参加A.P.考试,尽管她觉得很难想象45分钟的手机友好版考试会是什么样子,所以适合教育相关的,会出现在教育板块。故选C。B

天气恶劣,但随着各类智能保暖产品的问世,冬天也能变得舒适宜人。人们凭借科学技术发明了各式各样的御寒设备。4.Whatdotheunderlinedwords“bundleup”meaninParagraph1?A.Fixanairconditioner. B.Takeahotbath.C.Runalot. D.Putonmoreclothes.【解析】选D。词义猜测题。由第一段前两句可知,在我的记忆中,冬天总是令人很不愉快。你外出时必须穿得暖和一点。通过“keepwarm”可知,外出时要想暖和一些,就要多穿衣服。由此可判断出“bundleup”是“多穿衣服”的意思。5.Howdoeselectronicthermalclothingwork?A.Theequipmentplacedinsidetheclothingproducesheat.B.Itneedstobewarmedupbeforebeingused.C.Thethermostatheatsupautomaticallywhenthetemperatureislow.D.Itkeepswarmforover12hoursafterbeingchargedforanhour.【解析】选A。细节理解题。由第四段的倒数第二句可知,只要按下按钮,或者通过手机上的应用程序,安装在衣服内部的电子元件就会产生热量。所以电子保暖服装工作的原理是安装在衣服内部的电子元件产生热量。6.Fromthepassage,wecanlearnthefollowingstatementsEXCEPTthat_________.

A.Tado’smodelcanbecontrolledbysayingsomethingtoit.B.withtheinbuiltspeakerandmicrophone,beaniesandearmuffsuserscanhaveaphonecall.C.technologycandonothingtomakewinterlessrough.D.Bluetoothtechnologyisusedintheclothingforthehead.【解析】选C。细节理解题。由第二段的前两句可知,幸运的是,事情不再这么有挑战性了。先进的技术为我们提供了解决老问题的新方法。所以C选项“科技无法让冬天变得不那么难熬”不符合文章内容。故选C。7.What’sthebesttitleofthispassage?A.ASmartThermostatB.AModernWinterC.WaysofKeepingWarmD.AnUnpleasantWinter【解析】选B。标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了现如今随着各类智能保暖产品的问世,冬天也能变得舒适宜人。人们凭借科学技术发明了各式各样的御寒设备。所以文章的最佳标题为“让现代科技温暖你的冬日”。Ⅱ.阅读填句

【文章大意】本文是学校活动类短文,今年九月份开始,清华大学的大一新生必须上游泳课,除非有医生证明身体有问题,否则都要参加。对于这个要求一些学生是欢迎的,称游泳是一种必要的生活技能;而其他学生认为把游泳与学位联系起来是不合理的,不过从长远来看对学生有好处。1.【解析】successfully。考查副词。分析句子可知,此处应用副词形式修饰动词pass。2.【解析】proved/proven。考查“连词+分词”作状语。if引导的是省略句,省略了theyare,they与prove之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词。3.【解析】toswim。考查非谓语动词。theabilitytodosth.表示“做某事的能力”。4.【解析】requirement。考查名词。空前有a修饰。5.【解析】wasdropped。考查动词的时态和语态。it与drop之间是被动关系,且事情发生在过去,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。6.【解析】that/which。考查定语从句。先行词为anecessaryskill,关系词在定语从句中作主语,指物,故用that或which引导。7.【解析】with/to。考查介词。固定搭配link...to/with“与……有关,与……相连接”。故答案为with/to。8.【解析】response。考查名词。inresponseto...表示“对……的回应”,固定搭配。9.【解析】As。考查介词。修饰名词awatersport,表示“作为”,用as。10.【解析】Consequently。考查副词。it’sbeneficialtostudentsinthelongrun表示“从长远来看对学生有好处”,是上文的结果,所以用Consequently连接。Ⅳ.概要写作(2021·绍兴模拟)阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
