When
it
comes
to
food,
it’s
difficult
to
match
East
Asia
&
Pacific
in
terms
of
variety
and
tastiness.
From
wontons
to
dumplings,
from
spicy
fish
to
noodle
soups,
East
Asia
&
Pacific’s
amazing
food
culture
is
a
central
part
of
life
for
millions
of
people
and
indeed
tourists
from
across
the
world.
However,
changes
in
diet
and
lifestyle
in
recent
years
have
sadly
destroyed
traditional
food
cultures,
and
the
health
of
millions
of
people.
Cheap
“fast
food”
and
unhealthy
snacks
that
are
high
in
sugar,
salt
and
fat
are
now
all
too
common
but
offer
little
nutrition.
★A
new
challenge
Today,
there
are
more
than
25
million
of
malnourished
children
living
in
the
region,
but
the
picture
is
changing.
While
the
number
of
stunted
(发育不良)
children
is
slowly
falling
in
many
countries,
overweight
and
obesity
are
growing,
and
at
a
much
faster
rate.
In
many
countries,
three
forms
of
malnutrition—undernutrition,
hidden
hunger
and
overweight-co-exist.
A
family
may
have
an
overweight
mother
and
a
stunted
child.
Or
a
child
may
be
both
stunted
or
too
short
and
overweight.
Unhealthy
diets
are
a
major
cause
of
all
forms
of
malnutrition.
★Join
us!
One
way
to
slow
this
tide
is
to
reconnect
families
and
young
people
with
food.

B
Ever
since
she
received
a
little
toy
airliner
as
a
birthday
gift,
Kate
Koralevskaya
has
been
attracted
by
flight.
From
flying
remote-controlled
airplanes
to
building
her
own
model
ones,
Kate
has
always
considered
flying
a
plane
one
of
her
passions,
but
only
until
recently
has
she
been
able
to
take
that
to
new
heights.
When
Kate
heard
about
the
Upwind
Scholarship
from
her
school
counselor,
she
knew
it
was
an
extraordinary
opportunity
to
realize
her
dream.
The
program's
mission
is
to
provide
all
the
training
necessary
to
obtain
a
private
pilot's
license
(PPL)
for
students
in
between
their
junior
and
senior
year
of
high
school
free
of
charge.
After
completing
a
lengthy
application
and
her
subsequent
acceptance
into
the
program,
Kate
began
her
training
last
spring.
Normally,
recipients
of
the
scholarship
would
attend
ground
school
in
person
where
they
learn
the
fundamentals
of
flying.
Due
to
the
pandemic
(大流行病),
however,
Kate
spent
hours
each
weekend
studying
online
lessons
in
her
room
whenever
she
got
a
break
from
homework.
Once
summer
came
around,
Kate
and
three
peers
put
in
two
straight
weeks
of
ground
school,
reviewing
fight
training
from
nine
to
five
every
day.
"It
was
the
toughest
part
of
the
program,"
Kate
said.
After
completing
that
portion
of
ground
school,
Kate
was
finally
able
to
begin
flying
at
the
San
Carlos
Airport
with
the
other
scholarship
recipients
from
around
the
Bay
Area.
Flying,
especially
for
first-timers
like
Kate,
is
a
hands-on
process
involving
lots
of
checklists
to
make
sure
the
important
tasks
are
being
taken
care
of.
Now,
having
finished
the
program
and
earned
her
PPL,
Kate
plans
on
training
as
a
fight
instructor
and
hopes
to
become
an
airline
pilot
in
her
future.
She
credits
the
Upwind
Scholarship
for
all
she's
been
able
to
accomplish
so
far
and
hopes
that
anyone
who
shares
her
passion
will
look
into
it.
“It
is
a
very
hard
scholarship
to
get
into,
and
you
have
to
be
truly
interested
in
flight,”
Kate
said.
“It
can't
be
something
like
‘Oh,
why
don't
I
try
flying
this
summer?’
You
have
to
be
ready
to
do
a
lot
of
work
and
put
in
effort
in
order
to
succeed
in
the
program.
”

one
of
her
passions（Kate一直考虑将驾驶飞机视为自己的一个爱好）”，下一段中提到“it

根据文章第二段中“The
program's
mission
is
to
provide
all
the

（该计划的任务是免费为高二和高三学生提供所需要的所有培训，可以让他们获得私人飞机飞行员执照）”可知，“Upwind
Scholarship”的目标是为了让高中生成为一名私人飞机飞行员做准备。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。文章第三段中提到“recipients
of
the
scholarship
would
attend
ground
school
in

以及“Kate
and
three
peers
put
in
two
straight
weeks
of
ground
school,
reviewing
fight
training…（Kate
和三个同学连续上了两周的地面学校，回顾飞行训练。）”可知，在疫情过后，Kate在地面学校去学习回顾飞行的基础知识。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。文章倒数第二段提到“having
finished
the
program
and
earned
her
PPL,
Kate
plans
on
training
as
a

instructor
and
hopes
to
become
an
airline
pilot
in
her
future.（已经完成了这个项目，获得了私人飞机驾驶员执照，Kate计划接受飞行教官的培训，并希望将来成为一名飞行员）”可以推断，Kate很有志向；根据最后一段中Kate所说的话中
““It
is
a
very
hard
scholarship
to
get
into,
and
you
have
to
be
truly
interested
in
flight,”
..."You
have
to
be
ready
to

effort
in
order
to
succeed
in
the
program.
””（“这是一项很难获得的奖学金，你必须对飞行真正感兴趣。”以及“为了项目的成功，你必须准备好做大量的工作和付出努力”）可以推断，
Kate为了获得奖学金很努力。因此Kate很有雄心壮志，为了梦想而努力。故选D。
C
“A
CAREER
BOOK
about
Asians?
Aren’t
they
doing
fine…?”
So
begins
Breaking
the
Bamboo
Ceiling,
a
very
large
scholarly
book
by
Jane
Hyun
published
in
2005.
Because
Asian-Americans
had
higher
incomes
and
education
levels
and
committed
fewer
crimes
than
their
average
countrymen,
they
were
seen
as
a
model
minority.
Despite
this,
they
rarely
rose
to
the
top
of
companies.
A
mix
of
individual,
cultural
and
organizational
barriers
—
the
“bamboo
ceiling”
of
the
book’s
title
—
seemed
to
prohibit
them
from
rising.
Fifteen
years
later
Asians
are
still
under-represented.
In
the
technology
sectors,
Asians
make
up
over
30%
of
the
workers
but
less
than
15%
of
bosses.
In
2017
Asians
made
up
roughly
6%
of
the
country’s
population
but
only
3%
of
the
bosses
of
S&P
500
(标准普尔
500
指数)
firms.
Some
prominent
Asians
run
big
companies.
Arvind
Krishna
is
IBM’s
new
boss.
Satya
Nadella
runs
Microsoft
and
Sundar
Pichai
leads
Alphabet.
But
few
other
Asians
have
joined
their
ranks
—
and,
revealingly,
these
stars
all
have
Indian
roots.
There
are
fewer
South
Asians
in
America
than
East
Asians,
but
they
still
made
up
13
of
all
16
Asian
S&P
500
CEOs.
Why
are
there
so
few
Asians
among
America’s
business
elite?
And
if
a
bamboo
ceiling
is
to
blame,
why
do
South
Asians
break
through
more
easily?
These
questions
are
the
focus
of
a
study
by
Jackson
Lu
of
MIT
Sloan
School
of
Management
and
colleagues,
who
surveyed
hundreds
of
senior
executives
and
business-school
students.
They
found
that
while
discrimination
exists,
it
is
not
destiny.
South
Asians
endure
greater
racism
than
East
Asians
but
still
outperform
even
whites
(if
success
is
weighed
against
share
of
population).
Their
research
also
rules
out
lack
of
ambition:
a
greater
share
of
Asians
than
whites
endeavor
for
high-status
jobs.
That
leaves
culture.
The
researchers
conclude
that
South
Asians
tend
to
be
more
determined
and
confident
than
East
Asians
in
how
they
communicate
at
work,
which
fits
Western
concepts
of
how
a
leader
should
behave.
The
same
tendency
for
confident
remarks
featured
in
“The
Argumentative
Indian”,
a
book
by
Amartya
Sen,
a
Nobel-prize
winning
economist.
The
researchers
owe
East
Asians’
silence
to
Confucian
values
of
modesty
and
respect
for
social
ranking.
Sometimes
bravery
and
bombast
are
needed
to
break
bamboo.
8.
What
does
“bamboo
ceiling”
refer
to?
A.
The
top
of
an
American
technology
company.
B.

made
of
bamboo
typical

buildings.
C.
Promotion
obstacles
facing
Asian
employees
in
America.
D.
The
invisible
discrimination
against
Asians
in
the
USA.
9.
What
does
“under-represented”
in
Paragraph
2
mean?
A.
Lacking
representatives.
B.
Hard
to
show
their
talents.
C.
Being
underestimated.
D.
Unable
to
land
a
job.
10.
According
to
Jackson
Lu,
what
mainly
accounts
for
fewer
promotions
of
East
Asians
than
South
Asians?
A.
A
small
population.
B.
Discrimination.
C.
Lack
of
ambition.
D.
Culture.
11.
Why
do
South
Asians
succeed
in
American
business
more
easily?
A.
Western
people
prefer
modesty
to
confidence
in
communication.
B.
The
confidence
they
demonstrate
consists
with
Western
leadership.
C.
They
endure
greater
racism
and
become
more
ambitious.
D.
Their
ambition
urges
them
to
endeavor
for
high-status
jobs.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章以一本名为《Breaking
the
Bamboo
Ceiling》的书为引入，指出了在美国的亚洲员工面临晋升障碍的社会现象，同时南亚人比东亚人更容易晋升，分析了产生这一现象背后的种种原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Because

they

ceiling”——混合在一起，似乎阻止了他们的晋升)”可知，“bamboo
ceiling”指的是在美国的亚洲员工面临的晋升障碍。故选C。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“In

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“South

leaves
culture.(这样一来就只剩下文化这种原因)”可推知，根据Jackson
Lu的研究，东亚人升职比南亚人少的主要原因是文化。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The

Great
work
is
work
that
makes
a
difference
in
people’s
lives,
writes
David
Sturt,
Executive
Vice
President
of
the
O.C.
Tanner
Institute,
in
his
book
Great
Work:
How
to
Make
a
Difference
People
Love.
Sturt
insists,
however,
that
great
work
is
not
just
for
surgeons
or
special-needs
educators
or
the
founders
of
organizations
trying
to
eliminate
poverty
in
sub-Saharan
Africa.
The
central
theme
of
Great
Work,
according
to
Sturt,
is
that
anyone
can
make
a
difference
in
any
job.
It’s
not
the
nature
of
the
job,
but
what
you
do
with
the
job
that
counts.
As
proof,
Sturt
tells
the
story
of
a
remarkable
hospital
cleaner
named
Moses.
In
a
building
filled
with
doctors
and
nurses
doing
great
life-saving
work,
Moses
the
cleaner
makes
a
difference.
Whenever
he
enters
a
room,
especially
a
room
with
a
sick
child,
he
engages
both
patients
and
parents
with
his
optimism
and
calm,
introducing
himself
to
the
child
and,
Sturt
writes,
speaking
“little
comments
about
light
and
sunshine
and
making
things
clean.”
He
comments
on
any
progress
he
sees
day
by
day
(“you’re
sitting
up
today,
that’s
good.”)
Moses
is
no
doctor
and
doesn’t
pretend
to
be,
but
he
has
witnessed
hundreds
of
sick
children
recovering
from
painful
surgery,
and
parents
take
comfort
from
his
encouraging
words.
For
Matt
and
Mindi,
whose
son
McKay
was
born
with
only
half
of
a
heart,
Moses
became
a
close
friend.
As
Sturt
explains,
“Moses
took
his
innate
(与生俱来的)
talents
(his
sensitivity)
and
his
practical
wisdom
(from
years
of
hospital
experience)
and
combined
them
into
a
powerful
form
of
patient
and
family
support
that
changed
the
critical-care
experience
for
Mindi,
Matt
and
little
McKay.”
How
do
people
like
Moses
do
great
work
when
so
many
people
just
work?
That
was
the
central
question
raised
by
Sturt
and
his
team
at
the
O.C.
Tanner
Institute,
a
consulting
company
specialized
in
employee
recognition
and
rewards
system.
O.C.
Tanner
launched
an
exhaustive
Great
Work
study
that
included
surveys
to
200
senior
executives,
a
further
set
of
surveys
to
1,000
managers
and
employees
working
on
projects,
an
in-depth
qualitative
study
of
1.7
million
accounts
of
award-winning
work
(in
the
form
of
nominations
(提名)
for
awards
from
corporations
around
the
world),
and
one-on-one
interviews
with
200
difference
makers.
The
results
of
the
study
revealed
that
those
who
do
great
work
refuse
to
be
defeated
by
the
constraints
of
their
jobs
and
are
especially
able
to
reframe
their
jobs:
they
don’t
view
their
jobs
as
a
list
of
tasks
and
responsibilities
but
see
their
jobs
as
opportunities
to
make
a
difference.
No
matter,
as
Moses
so
ably
exemplifies
(例证),
what
that
job
may
be.
12.
According
to
Sturt,
which
of
the
following
is
TRUE?
A.
It’s
not
the
nature
of
the
job,
but
what
you
do
that
makes
a
difference.
B.
Anyone
in
the
world
is
responsible
to
delete
poverty
and
change
the
world.
C.
Anyone
can
make
a
difference
in
people’s
lives
no
matter
what
kind
of
job
he
does.
D.
Surgeons,
special-needs
educators
and
founders
of
organizations
can
succeed
more
easily.
13.
According
to
this
passage,
how
does
Moses,
a
common
hospital
cleaner,
make
a
difference
in
people’s
lives?
A.
By
keeping
optimistic
and
calm
when
facing
patients
and
their
parents
at
hospital.
B.
By
showing
his
special
gift
and
working
experience
when
working
at
hospital.
C.
By
showing
his
sympathy
and
kindness
to
patients
when
entering
their
rooms.
D.
By
pretending
to
be
a
doctor
or
nurse
when
entering
a
room
with
a
sick
child.
14.
The
word
“constraints”
in
the
last
paragraph
probably
refers
to
______.
A.
demands
B.
advantages
C.
disadvantages
D.
limitations
15.
What
can
we
infer
from
the
passage?
A.
Great
work
is
work
that
makes
a
difference
in
people’s
lives
no
matter
what
you
do.
B.
If
a
boss
has
trouble
recognizing
his
employees,
he
can
ask
O.
C.
Tanner
for
advice.
C
Moses
makes
a
difference
through
his
sensitivity
and
his
practical
wisdom.
D.
Those
who
do
great
work
are
never
defeated
by
others
or
their
jobs
themselves.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过例子说明了伟大工作的中心主题是，任何人都可以在任何工作中有所作为。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段句子“The
central
theme
of
Great
Work,
according
to
Sturt,
is
that
anyone
can
make
a
difference
in
any
job.”（
斯图特认为，伟大工作的中心主题是，任何人都可以在任何工作中有所作为。）可知“不管做什么样的工作，任何人都可以有所作为”这一表述正确。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段句子“Whenever
he
enters
a
room,
especially
a
room
with
a
sick
child,
he
engages
both
patients
and
parents
with
his
optimism
and
calm,
introducing
himself
to
the
child
and,
Sturt
writes,
speaking
‘
little
comments
about
light
and
sunshine
and
making
things
clean.
’”（每当他走进一个房间，特别是有一个生病的孩子的房间，他就会用他的乐观和冷静来吸引病人和家长，向孩子自我介绍，并且，斯图特写道，摩西会说‘关于光和阳光，以及如何把东西弄干净的小评论。’”）可知，清洁工摩西在医院面对病人和父母时,会保持乐观和冷静。故选A项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“
are
especially
able
to
reframe
their
jobs”（
尤其能够重新定义自己的工作）可知，在工作上有所成就的人拒绝被工作本身的“局限性”打败。“constraints”意思是局限性。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段句子“That
was
the
central
question
raised
by
Sturt
and
his
team
at
the
O.C.
Tanner
Institute,
a
consulting
company
specialized
in
employee
recognition
and
rewards
system.”（
这是斯图特和他的团队在O.C.Tanner
研究所提出的核心问题，该研究所是一家专门研究员工认可和奖励系统的咨询公司。）可知，如果一个老板在获得员工认可方面有困难，他可以向O.C.Tanner寻求建议。故选B项。
【点睛】在阅读文章中,作者常常让读者领会文章中不明确表达出来而暗含在其中的意思。这就需要读者在阅读过程中,在全面掌握文章所给出的信息的基础上,运用自己的知识认真思考问题,领会作者的言外之意。这种从“已知”推出“未知”的过程,就是推论,是我们阅读过程中必须掌握的一种解题技巧。如第四小题，文章中并没有关于“如果一个老板在获得员工认可方面有困难”这个信息。但是通过句子“That
was
the
central
question
raised
by
Sturt
and
his
team
at
the
O.C.
Tanner
Institute,
a
consulting
company
specialized
in
employee
recognition
and
rewards
system”可以判断出该信息正确。

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项。
When
it
comes
to
getting
ahead,
is
IQ
or
EQ
more
important?
A
thought
experiment
conducted
featuring
butterflies
and
geniuses
settles
the
question
once
and
for
all.
___16___
So
if
you
asked
people
whether
they’d
rather
be
a
butterfly
or
a
genius,
I’m
betting
most
people
wouldn’t
hesitate
before
choosing
genius.
But
butterflies
are
also
social
creatures,
often
gathering
in
groups.
The
experiment
points
out
just
how
big
an
advantage
friendliness
can
be.
Imagine
two
groups
of
people.
We’ll
call
them
the
Geniuses
and
the
Butterflies
for
short.
___17___
They
come
up
with
one
ground-breaking
invention
every
10
human
lifetimes.
The
Butterflies
aren’t
nearly
as
bright.
They
take
1,000
lifetimes
to
come
up
with
a
world-changing
invention.
But
what
the
Butterflies
lack
in
cognitive(认知的)horsepower,
they
make
up
for
in
social
skills.
___18___
However,
the
egghead
Geniuses
are
a
little
awkward.
They
only
have
one
friend.
Now
imagine
everyone
goes
about
their
business
trying
to
learn
about
cool,
new
inventions,
either
by
figuring
them
out
for
themselves
or
learning
about
them
from
friends.
___19___
The
one
where
the
people
are
a
hundred
times
smarter(the
Geniuses)or
the
one
where
they’re
10
times
more
social(the
Butterflies)?
Well,
communicating
ideas
within
a
group
might
not
feel
as
impressive
as
coming
up
with
brilliant
ideas
alone
in
a
corner.
Chatty
Cathys(滔滔不绝的人)clearly
have
less
cultural
mystery
than
Nobel
winners.
But
without
them,
new
ideas
don’t
spread
fast
enough
to-make
big
impact.
___20___
This
fascinating
thought
experiment
is
good
news
for
the
communicators
and
connectors
of
the
world,
but
it’s
also
a
valuable
lesson
for
anyone
putting-together
a
team.
A.
Which
society
does
better?
B.
Each
Butterfly
has
10
friends.
C.
The
Geniuses
are,
well,
geniuses.
D.
Butterflies
are
pretty
but
lacking
in
strength.
E.
Is
it
hard
for
the
experiment
to
draw
a
conclusion?
F.
In
terms
of
group
success,
EQ
matters
more
than
raw
IQ.
G.
The
Butterflies
shouldn’t
be
compared
with
the
Geniuses.
【答案】16.
D
17.
C

B
19.
A

F
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。一项关于蝴蝶和天才的思想实验彻底解决了智商和情商哪个更重要的问题。
【16题详解】
根据后文“So
if
you
asked
people
whether
they’d
rather
be
a
butterfly
or
a
genius,
I’m
betting
most
people
wouldn’t
hesitate
before
choosing
genius.
”（所以如果你问人们是愿意做一只蝴蝶还是一个天才，我敢打赌大多数人在选择天才之前都会毫不犹豫。）可知，此处是讲做蝴蝶不如做天才好，所以选项D（蝴蝶很漂亮，但缺乏力量。）切合文意。故选D。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Imagine
two
groups
of
people.
We’ll
call
them
the
Geniuses
and
the
Butterflies
for
short.”（想象两组人。我们简称他们为天才和蝴蝶。）可知，后文会分别陈述两组人。再结合后文“They
come
up
with
one
ground-breaking
invention
every
10
human
lifetimes.”（他们每10个人一生中就有一个突破性的发明。）可知，此处是介绍Geniuses这一组，所以选项C（Geniuses这一组就是天才）切合文意。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据前文“But
what
the
Butterflies
lack
in
cognitive（认知的）horsepower,
they
make
up
for
in
social
skills.”（但是蝴蝶们在认知能力上的不足，在社交能力上得到了弥补。）可知，此处是讲蝴蝶出色的社交能力，所以选项B（每只蝴蝶有10个朋友。）切合文意。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据后文“The
one
where
the
people
are
a
hundred
times
smarter（the
Geniuses）or
the
one
where
they’re
10
times
more
social（the
Butterflies）?”（是聪明一百倍的人的天才社会还是社交能力优秀十倍的蝴蝶社会？）可知，此处是讲这两个社会哪个更好，所以选项A（哪个社会更好？）切合文意。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据前文“But
without
them,
new
ideas
don’t
spread
fast
enough
to-make
big
impact.”（但如果没有他们，新思想的传播速度就不足以产生重大影响。）可知，此处是讲有社交能力的人也很重要，根据后文“This
fascinating
thought
experiment
is
good
news
for
the
communicators
and
connectors
of
the
world,
but
it’s
also
a
valuable
lesson
for
anyone
putting-together
a
team.”（这个令人着迷的思维实验对于世界上的沟通者和连接者来说是好消息，但对于任何组建团队的人来说也是宝贵的一课。）可知，此处是讲情商对团体的成功更加重要。所以选项F（就团队成功而言，情商比单纯的智商更重要。）切合文意。故选F。

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The
English
word
“dinner”
used
to
refer
to
breakfast.
It
comes
from
the
Old
French
word
“disnar”,
___36___
in
fact
means
“breakfast”.
So
___37___
did
this
word
come
to
have
a
different
meaning?
___38___
(tradition),
dinner
(what
we
now
refer
to
as
breakfast)
was
the
first
meal
of
the
day,
eaten
around
noon.
It
also
happened
to
be
the
___39___
(big)
meal
of
the
day,
with
a
lighter
meal
coming
later
___40___
(know)
as
supper.
Today
many
people
find
___41___
strange
that
the
biggest
meal
of
the
day
once
centered
around
noon,
___42___
it
made
great
sense
at
that
time.
Artificial
lighting
such
as
oil
lamps
and
candles
were
expensive,
and
provided
weak
light
at
best.
So
people
went
to
sleep
at
sundown,
because
it’s
difficult
___43___
(work)
and
eat
in
the
dark.
The
last
meal
of
the
day
was
a
rushed
affair,
a
quick
snack
before
the
lights
went
out.
Eventually,
more
meals
___44___
(add)
to
the
day.
This
meant
that
people
were
eating
smaller
meals
before
the
bigger
meal.
So
the
word
that
once
____45____
(refer)
to
our
first
meal,
now
refers
to
our
last.
However,
it
is
true
that
in
many
Western
cultures
dinner
still
remains
the
biggest
meal
of
the
day.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英文中“dinner”一词的含义是如何从“早餐”成为了如今“晚餐”的含义的。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它来自古法语单词disnar，实际上意思是“早餐”。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词disnar，先行词在从句中作主语，指物，应用关系代词which引导，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查疑问词。句意：那么这个词是如何有了不同的含义的呢？此处对方式提问，表示“如何”应用疑问词how。故填how。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：传统上，晚餐（我们现在所说的早餐）是一天中的第一顿饭，大约在中午吃。修饰后文整个句子，应用副词traditionally作状语，句首单词首字母要大写。故填Traditionally。
【39题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：这顿饭碰巧也是一天中最丰盛的一餐，稍后的清淡饭菜则被称为晚餐。根据上文定冠词the，以及句意“最丰盛的”可知，big应用形容词最高级形式。故填biggest。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这顿饭碰巧也是一天中最丰盛的一餐，稍后的清淡饭菜则被称为晚餐。结合句意表示“被称为……”可知，短语为be
known
as，此处省略be动词，用过去分词作状语。故填known。
【41题详解】
考查it用法。句意：今天，许多人觉得奇怪的是，一天中最丰盛的一餐曾经集中在中午，但它在当时是很有意义的。此处为“find
it
adj.
that…”句型，it作形式宾语，that从句为真正宾语。故填it。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意：今天，许多人觉得奇怪的是，一天中最丰盛的一餐曾经集中在中午，但它在当时是很有意义的。上文提到许多人对于一天中最丰盛的一餐曾经集中在中午感觉奇怪，后文则提到这一做法在当时很有意义，前后为转折关系，应用连词but。故填but。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：所以人们在日落的时候就睡觉了，因为在黑暗中工作和吃饭是很困难的。此处为句型“it
be
adj.
to
do
sth.”，it作形式主语，不定式为真正主语。故填to
work。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：最终，一天中添加了更多的膳食。句子描述过去发生的事情应用一般过去时，主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为meals，谓语动词用复数。故填were
added。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：所以这个词曾经指的是我们的第一顿饭，现在指的是我们的最后一餐。refer在从句中作谓语，结合上文once可知，描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填referred。

When
it
comes
to
food,
it’s
difficult
to
match
East
Asia
&
Pacific
in
terms
of
variety
and
tastiness.
From
wontons
to
dumplings,
from
spicy
fish
to
noodle
soups,
East
Asia
&
Pacific’s
amazing
food
culture
is
a
central
part
of
life
for
millions
of
people
and
indeed
tourists
from

the
world.
However,
changes
in
diet
and
lifestyle
in
recent
years
have
sadly
destroyed
traditional
food
cultures,
and
the
health
of
millions
of
people.
Cheap
“fast
food”
and
unhealthy
snacks
that
are
high
in
sugar,
salt
and
fat
are
now
all
too
common
but
offer
little
nutrition.
★A
new
challenge
Today,
there
are
more
than
25
million
of
malnourished
children
living
in
the
region,
but
the
picture
is
changing.
While
the
number
of
stunted
(发育不良)
children
is
slowly
falling
in
many
countries,
overweight
and
obesity
are
growing,
and
at
a
much
faster
rate.
In
many
countries,
three
forms
of
malnutrition—undernutrition,
hidden
hunger
and
overweight-co-exist.
A
family
may
have
an
overweight
mother
and
a
stunted
child.
Or
a
child
may
be
both
stunted
or
too
short
and
overweight.
Unhealthy
diets
are
a
major
cause
of
all
forms
of
malnutrition.
★Join

One
way
to
slow
this
tide

a
plane
one
of
her
passions,
but
only
until
recently
has
she
been
able
to
take
that
to
new
heights.
When
Kate
heard
about
the
Upwind
Scholarship
from
her
school
counselor,
she
knew
it
was
an
extraordinary
opportunity
to
realize
her
dream.
The
program's
mission
is
to
provide
all
the
training
necessary
to
obtain
a
private
pilot's
license
(PPL)
for
students
in
between
their
junior
and
senior
year
of
high
school
free
of
charge.
After
completing
a
lengthy
application
and
her
subsequent
acceptance
into
the
program,
Kate
began
her
training
last
spring.
Normally,
recipients
of
the
scholarship
would
attend
ground
school
in
person
where
they
learn
the
fundamentals
of
flying.
Due
to
the
pandemic
(大流行病),
however,
Kate
spent
hours
each
weekend
studying
online
lessons
in
her
room
whenever
she
got
a
break
from
homework.
Once
summer
came
around,
Kate
and
three
peers
put
in
two
straight
weeks
of
ground
school,
reviewing
fight
training
from
nine
to
five
every
day.
"It
was
the
toughest
part
of
the
program,"
Kate
said.
After
completing
that
portion
of
ground
school,
Kate
was
finally
able
to
begin
flying
at
the
San
Carlos
Airport
with
the
other
scholarship
recipients
from
around
the
Bay
Area.
Flying,
especially
for
first-timers
like
Kate,
is
a
hands-on
process
involving
lots
of
checklists
to
make
sure
the
important
tasks
are
being
taken
care
of.
Now,
having
finished
the
program
and
earned
her
PPL,
Kate
plans
on
training
as
a
fight
instructor
and
hopes
to
become
an
airline
pilot
in
her
future.
She
credits
the
Upwind
Scholarship
for
all
she's
been
able
to
accomplish
so
far
and
hopes
that
anyone
who
shares
her
passion
will
look
into
it.
“It
is
a
very
hard
scholarship
to
get
into,
and
you
have
to
be
truly
interested
in
flight,”
Kate
said.
“It
can't
be
something
like
‘Oh,
why
don't
I
try
flying
this
summer?’
You
have
to
be
ready
to
do
a
lot
of
work
and
put
in
effort
in
order
to
succeed
in
the
program.

“A
CAREER
BOOK
about
Asians?
Aren’t
they
doing
fine…?”
So
begins
Breaking
the
Bamboo
Ceiling,
a
very
large
scholarly
book
by
Jane
Hyun
published
in
2005.
Because
Asian-Americans
had
higher
incomes
and
education
levels
and
committed
fewer
crimes
than
their
average
countrymen,
they
were
seen
as
a
model
minority.
Despite
this,
they
rarely
rose
to
the
top
of
companies.
A
mix
of
individual,
cultural
and
organizational
barriers
—
the
“bamboo
ceiling”
of
the
book’s
title
—
seemed
to
prohibit
them
from
rising.
Fifteen
years
later
Asians
are
still
under-represented.
In
the
technology
sectors,
Asians
make
up
over
30%
of
the
workers
but
less
than
15%
of
bosses.
In
2017
Asians
made
up
roughly
6%
of
the
country’s
population
but
only
3%
of
the
bosses
of
S&P
500
(标准普尔
500
指数)
firms.
Some
prominent
Asians
run
big
companies.
Arvind
Krishna
is
IBM’s
new
boss.
Satya
Nadella
runs
Microsoft
and
Sundar
Pichai
leads
Alphabet.
But
few
other
Asians
have
joined
their
ranks
—
and,
revealingly,
these
stars
all
have
Indian
roots.
There
are
fewer
South
Asians
in
America
than
East
Asians,
but
they
still
made
up
13
of
all
16
Asian
S&P
500
CEOs.
Why
are
there
so
few
Asians
among
America’s
business
elite?
And
if
a
bamboo
ceiling
is
to
blame,
why
do
South
Asians
break
through
more
easily?
These
questions
are
the
focus
of
a
study
by
Jackson
Lu
of
MIT
Sloan
School
of
Management
and
colleagues,
who
surveyed
hundreds
of
senior
executives
and
business-school
students.
They
found
that
while
discrimination
exists,
it
is
not
destiny.
South
Asians
endure
greater
racism
than
East
Asians
but
still
outperform
even
whites
(if
success
is
weighed
against
share
of
population).
Their
research
also
rules
out
lack
of
ambition:
a
greater
share
of
Asians
than
whites
endeavor
for
high-status
jobs.
That
leaves
culture.
The
researchers
conclude
that
South
Asians
tend
to
be
more
determined
and
confident
than
East
Asians
in
how
they
communicate
at
work,
which
fits
Western
concepts
of
how
a
leader
should
behave.
The
same
tendency
for
confident
remarks
featured
in
“The
Argumentative
Indian”,
a
book
by
Amartya
Sen,
a
Nobel-prize
winning
economist.
The
researchers
owe
East
Asians’
silence
to
Confucian
values
of
modesty
and
respect
for
social
ranking.
Sometimes
bravery
and
bombast
are
needed
to
break
bamboo.

Great
work
is
work
that
makes
a
difference
in
people’s
lives,
writes
David
Sturt,
Executive
Vice
President
of
the
O.C.
Tanner
Institute,
in
his
book
Great
Work:
How
to
Make
a
Difference
People
Love.
Sturt
insists,
however,
that
great
work
is
not
just
for
surgeons
or
special-needs
educators
or
the
founders
of
organizations
trying
to
eliminate
poverty
in
sub-Saharan
Africa.
The
central
theme
of
Great
Work,
according
to
Sturt,
is
that
anyone
can
make
a
difference
in
any
job.
It’s
not
the
nature
of
the
job,
but
what
you
do
with
the
job
that
counts.
As
proof,
Sturt
tells
the
story
of
a
remarkable
hospital
cleaner
named
Moses.
In
a
building
filled
with
doctors
and
nurses
doing
great
life-saving
work,
Moses
the
cleaner
makes
a
difference.
Whenever
he
enters
a
room,
especially
a
room
with
a
sick
child,
he
engages
both
patients
and
parents
with
his
optimism
and
calm,
introducing
himself
to
the
child
and,
Sturt
writes,
speaking
“little
comments
about
light
and
sunshine
and
making
things
clean.”
He
comments
on
any
progress
he
sees
day
by
day
(“you’re
sitting
up
today,
that’s
good.”)
Moses
is
no
doctor
and
doesn’t
pretend
to
be,
but
he
has
witnessed
hundreds
of
sick
children
recovering
from
painful
surgery,
and
parents
take
comfort
from
his
encouraging
words.
For
Matt
and
Mindi,
whose
son
McKay
was
born
with
only
half
of
a
heart,
Moses
became
a
close
friend.
As
Sturt
explains,
“Moses
took
his
innate
(与生俱来的)
talents
(his
sensitivity)
and
his
practical
wisdom
(from
years
of
hospital
experience)
and
combined
them
into
a
powerful
form
of
patient
and
family
support
that
changed
the
critical-care
experience
for
Mindi,
Matt
and
little
McKay.”
How
do
people
like
Moses
do
great
work
when
so
many
people
just
work?
That
was
the
central
question
raised
by
Sturt
and
his
team
at
the
O.C.
Tanner
Institute,
a
consulting
company
specialized
in
employee
recognition
and
rewards
system.
O.C.
Tanner
launched
an
exhaustive
Great
Work
study
that
included
surveys
to
200
senior
executives,
a
further
set
of
surveys
to
1,000
managers
and
employees
working
on
projects,
an
in-depth
qualitative
study
of
1.7
million
accounts
of
award-winning
work
(in
the
form
of
nominations
(提名)
for
awards
from
corporations
around
the
world),
and
one-on-one
interviews
with
200
difference
makers.
The
results
of
the
study
revealed
that
those
who
do
great
work
refuse
to
be
defeated
by
the
constraints
of
their
jobs
and
are
especially
able
to
reframe
their
jobs:
they
don’t
view
their
jobs
as
a
list
of
tasks
and
responsibilities
but
see
their
jobs
as
opportunities
to
make
a
difference.
No
matter,
as
Moses
so
ably
exemplifies
(例证),
what
that
job
may
be.
12.
According
to
Sturt,
which
of
the
following
is
TRUE?
A.
It’s
not
the
nature
of
the
job,
but
what
you
do
that
makes
a
difference.
B.
Anyone
in
the
world
is
responsible
to
delete
poverty
and
change
the
world.
C.
Anyone
can
make
a
difference
in
people’s
lives
no
matter
what
kind
of
job
he
does.
D.
Surgeons,
special-needs
educators
and
founders
of
organizations
can
succeed
more
easily.
13.
According
to
this
passage,
how
does
Moses,
a
common
hospital
cleaner,
make
a
difference
in
people’s
lives?
A.
By
keeping
optimistic
and
calm
when
facing
patients
and
their
parents
at
hospital.
B.
By
showing
his
special
gift
and
working
experience
when
working
at
hospital.
C.
By
showing
his
sympathy
and
kindness
to
patients
when
entering
their
rooms.
D.
By
pretending
to
be
a
doctor
or
nurse
when
entering
a
room
with
a
sick
child.
14.
The
word
“constraints”
in
the
last
paragraph
probably
refers
to
______.
A.
demands
B.
advantages
C.
disadvantages
D.
limitations
15.
What
can
we
infer
from
the
passage?
A.
Great
work
is
work
that
makes
a
difference
in
people’s
lives
no
matter
what
you
do.
B.
If
a
boss
has
trouble
recognizing
his
employees,
he
can
ask
O.
C.
Tanner
for
advice.
C.
Moses
makes
a
difference
through
his
sensitivity
and
his
practical
wisdom.
D.
Those
who
do
great
work
are
never
defeated
by
others
or
their
jobs
themselves.

七选五（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项。
When
it
comes
to
getting
ahead,
is
IQ
or
EQ
more
important?
A
thought
experiment
conducted
featuring
butterflies
and
geniuses
settles
the
question
once
and
for
all.
___16___
So
if
you
asked
people
whether
they’d
rather
be
a
butterfly
or
a
genius,
I’m
betting
most
people
wouldn’t
hesitate
before
choosing
genius.
But
butterflies
are
also
social
creatures,
often
gathering
in
groups.
The
experiment
points
out
just
how
big
an
advantage
friendliness
can
be.
Imagine
two
groups
of
people.
We’ll
call
them
the
Geniuses
and
the
Butterflies
for
short.
___17___
They
come
up
with
one
ground-breaking
invention
every
10
human
lifetimes.
The
Butterflies
aren’t
nearly
as
bright.
They
take
1,000
lifetimes
to
come
up
with
a
world-changing
invention.
But
what
the
Butterflies
lack
in
cognitive(认知的)horsepower,
they
make
up
for
in
social
skills.
___18___
However,
the
egghead
Geniuses
are
a
little
awkward.
They
only
have
one
friend.
Now
imagine
everyone
goes
about
their
business
trying
to
learn
about
cool,
new
inventions,
either
by
figuring
them
out
for
themselves
or
learning
about
them
from
friends.
___19___
The
one
where
the
people
are
a
hundred
times
smarter(the
Geniuses)or
the
one
where
they’re
10
times
more
social(the
Butterflies)?
Well,
communicating
ideas
within
a
group
might
not
feel
as
impressive
as
coming
up
with
brilliant
ideas
alone
in
a
corner.
Chatty
Cathys(滔滔不绝的人)clearly
have
less
cultural
mystery
than
Nobel
winners.
But
without
them,
new
ideas
don’t
spread
fast
enough
to-make
big
impact.
___20___
This
fascinating
thought
experiment
is
good
news
for
the
communicators
and
connectors
of
the
world
but
it’s
also
a
valuable
lesson
for
anyone
putting-together
a
team.
A.
Which
society
does
better?
B.
Each
Butterfly
has
10
friends.
C.
The
Geniuses
are,
well,
geniuses.
D.
Butterflies
are
pretty
but
lacking
in
strength.
E.
Is
it
hard
for
the
experiment
to
draw
a
conclusion?
F.
In
terms
of
group
success
EQ
matters
more
than
raw
IQ.
G.
The
Butterflies
shouldn’t
be
compared
with
the
Geniuses.

Tristin
Stewart,
15,
of
Northern
Ireland,
has
no
right
knee
after
undergoing
an
operation.
Now,
his
right
leg
connects
directly
to
a
right
foot
backward,
which
fits
more___21___than
a
traditional
amputation
(截肢).
Tristin
said
he
began
experiencing___22___in
his
right
leg
in
2014,
but
it
was
not
until
last
year
that
doctors
diagnosed
it
as
a
cancer.
The
diagnosis
and___23___operation
made
Tristin’s
parents,
Mandy
and
Shane
so
worried.
“Tristin
was
scared
firstly
before
receiving
the
operation,”
Mandy
said.
“When
we
went
in
to
see
him
after
the
operation,
you
could___24___see
that
something
was
not
in
the
right
place
under
the___25___,
and
Shane
and
I
got
up
the
courage
to
uncover
it.
That
was
a
very
strange
sight,
but
my
boy’s
life
was
saved
so
that’s
all
that___26___.”
In
spite
of
a___27___disease,
the
first
in
Northern
Ireland,
the
soccer-loving
teen
is
already
back
on
his___28___
just
months
after
the
operation.
“At
the
start
it
was
uncomfortable
and
I
wasn’t
used
to
it
because
of
the
weight
and
my
foot
—
you
know,
it
felt___29___—
but
now
I’
m
accustomed
to
it,”
Tristin
told
Caters
News.
“It
feels
close
to
normal.”
“I
can____30____with
it
and
I’ve
just
started
a
jog,”
Tristin
said.
“Without
it,
I’d
be
in
a____31____.
I
wouldn’t
be
able
to
do
anything.”
Unexpectedly,
many
people
are
now____32____
money
to
buy
Stewart
professional
aid
equipment
so
he
can____33____in
sports
and
more
physical
activities.
“Friends
have
been
just
as____34____,
and
they
haven’t
treated
me
differently,”
Tristin
added.
“And
I
believe
no
matter
how____35____
the
mountain,
there
will
always
be
a
climb
for
the
people
who
do
not
fear
the

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The
English
word
“dinner”
used
to
refer
to
breakfast.
It
comes
from
the
Old
French
word
“disnar”,
___36___
in
fact
means
“breakfast”.
So
___37___
did
this
word
come
to
have
a
different
meaning?
___38___
(tradition),
dinner
(what
we
now
refer
to
as
breakfast)
was
the
first
meal
of
the
day,
eaten
around
noon.
It
also
happened
to
be
the
___39___
(big)
meal
of
the
day,
with
a
lighter
meal
coming
later
___40___
(know)
as
supper.
Today
many
people
find
___41___
strange
that
the
biggest
meal
of
the
day
once
centered
around
noon,
___42___
it
made
great
sense
at
that
time.
Artificial
lighting
such
as
oil
lamps
and
candles
were
expensive,
and
provided
weak
light
at
best.
So
people
went
to
sleep
at
sundown,
because
it’s
difficult
___43___
(work)
and
eat
in
the
dark.
The
last
meal
of
the
day
was
a
rushed
affair,
a
quick
snack
before
the
lights
went
out.
Eventually,
more
meals
___44___
(add)
to
the
day.
This
meant
that
people
were
eating
smaller
meals
before
the
bigger
meal.
So
the
word
that
once
____45____
(refer)
to
our
first
meal,
now
refers
to
our
last.
However,
it
is
true
that
in
many
Western
cultures
dinner
still
remains
the
biggest
meal
of
the
day.
