We've seen a worldwide health crisis (危机) bring out the worst in some people, but fortunately, we've also been able to see it bring out the best in others.
A taxi driver in Spain has been providing COVID-19 (新冠肺炎) patients with free rides to and from the hospitals Doctors and nurses wanted to surprise him with their thanks for helping out.
They tricked him down to the hospital under the pretense of needing to pick up a sick patient, but in reality, doctors and nurses lined the hall waiting to applaud (鼓掌) him.
“This is a surprise that has been given to a taxi driver who takes patients to the hospitals without charge,” wrote the taxi company that first shared the video.
The man seemed completely taken aback by the gesture, stopping in the middle of the doors as the whole room cheered for him.
He was also given an envelope full of money and the satisfying results of his own COVID-19 test.
The video has since been shared tens of thousands of times across the world, because kind gestures break the language barrier (障碍).
“When the crisis is finished, there will have been two types of people... the good and the bad,” one user wrote. “With workmates like him, I am proud to be a taxi driver, son of a taxi driver, and father of a taxi driver.”
With the word in hard times, just knowing good people are there doing good deeds is something we can all appreciate.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段He was also given an envelope full of money and the satisfying results of his own COVID-19 test.可知，他还得到了一个装满钱的信封和他自己的COVID-19测试的令人满意的结果。由此可以看出，测试结果满意即没有COVID-19病毒，也就是司机没有受到COVID-19的袭击。故选D。

词句猜测题。根据文章第四段This is a surprise that has been given to a taxi driver who takes patients to the hospitals without charge.可知，医生和护士为他鼓掌这件事让一位免费送病人去医院的出租车司机感到意外。又因第五段的stopping in the middle of the doors as the whole room cheered for him.可知，当整个房间都在为他欢呼时，他停在门中间。所以可以看出，司机是被医生和护士的行为吓到了，感到惊讶，所以taken aback意思为惊讶，故选B。
【6题详解】

C
I have never understood why we keep a garden and why years ago when I bought my first house, I started digging up a small land for vegetables before doing anything else. It is so easy and cheap to buy carrots; why raise them When April comes, I always find myself looking at that miserable land, resolving not to plant it again. But unavoidably a morning arrives when, just as I am awakening, a refreshing scent, as if from the very center of this planet, comes through the window. And the sun suddenly, seems to have a different, deeper yellow in its light on the carpet.
It is not only pleasure sending me back to stare at that plot of soil, it is real conflict. The question is the same each year—what method should we use The last few years we put black plastic between the rows, and it worked perfectly. But plastic looks so industrial, so unromantic, that I have gradually moved over to hay. We cut a lot of hay and it does improve the soil. Besides, it looks lovely and comes to us free.
The attractions of gardening, I think, at least for some gardeners, are moral. Whenever life seems pointless and difficult to grasp, you can always get out in the garden and get something done. Also, your parental instinct comes into play because helpless living things are depending on you, requiring training and protection from enemies. In some cases, as with beans and cucumbers, your children—as it were, begin to turn upon on you in great numbers, growing more and more each morning and threatening to follow you into the house.
8. What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph
A. He always likes buying carrots. B. He always makes decisions in April.
C. He takes good care of the small land. D. He enjoys the garden in spring.
9. What drove the author to abandon plastic
A. High price. B. Environmental concern.
C. Poor function. D. Personal preference.
10. Why does the author say the attractions of gardening are moral
A. Gardening requires wisdom. B. Gardening offers moral advice.
C. Gardening improves parenting. D. Gardening brings spiritual content.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. To Garden or Not B. What I Garden for
C. How to Garden D. Wisdom from Gardens
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文中讲述了作者自己种植蔬菜的原因。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“When April comes, I always find myself looking at that miserable land, resolving not to plant it again. But unavoidably a morning arrives when, just as I am awakening, a refreshing scent, as if from the very center of this planet, comes through the window. And the sun suddenly, seems to have a different, deeper yellow in its light on the carpet.(每当四月来临的时候，我总是看着那片贫瘠的土地，下定决心不再种植它。但不可避免的是，当我醒来的时候，一股沁人心脾的香味，仿佛来自这个星球的中心，从窗户里飘进来。而太阳突然间，在它照在地毯上的光线中似乎有一种不同的、更深的黄色)”可推知，作者喜欢春天的花园。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The last few years we put black plastic between the rows, and it worked perfectly. But plastic looks so industrial, so unromantic, that I have gradually moved over to hay.(在过去的几年里，我们把黑色的塑料放在两排之间，效果非常好。但是塑料看起来太工业化了，太不浪漫了，所以我逐渐转向干草)”可知，是个人喜好促使作者放弃塑料。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The attractions of gardening, I think, at least for some gardeners, are moral. Whenever life seems pointless and difficult to grasp, you can always get out in the garden and get something done.(园艺的吸引力，我认为，至少对一些园艺家来说，是道德上的。每当生活看起来毫无意义，难以把握的时候，你总是可以到花园里去做一些事情)”可知，作者说园艺的吸引力是道德层面上的，因为园艺带来精神上的满足。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“I have never understood why we keep a garden and why years ago when I bought my first house, I started digging up a small land for vegetables before doing anything else. It is so easy and cheap to buy carrots; why raise them (我一直不明白为什么我们要保留一个花园，为什么多年前当我买下第一栋房子时，我开始在做其他事情之前挖一小块地种菜。买胡萝卜很容易，也很便宜，为什么要养胡萝卜？)”以及最后一段中“The attractions of gardening, I think, at least for some gardeners, are moral. Whenever life seems pointless and difficult to grasp, you can always get out in the garden and get something done. Also, your parental instinct comes into play because helpless living things are depending on you, requiring training and protection from enemies.(园艺的吸引力，我认为，至少对一些园丁来说，是道德上的。每当生活似乎毫无意义、难以把握时，你总是可以到花园里去做些事情。 此外，你的父母本能也会发挥作用，因为无助的生物依赖于你，需要训练和保护)”结合文中讲述了作者自己种植蔬菜的原因。可知，B选项“我做园艺是为了什么”最符合文章标题。故选B。
D
You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It’s the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed of Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search shows plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age, there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart’s music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.
The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that aroused real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was no doubt a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, we’ll become more intelligent.
The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the USA, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart’s music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.
I’ll leave the debate on the effect on milk production to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent More research was carried out but an analysis of 16 different studies confirmed (证实) that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.
B. Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent
C. There are few products on the Internet about Mozart’s music
D. There is little scientific evidence to support the Mozart effect.
13. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 suggests that
A. people were strongly against the idea.
B. the idea was accepted by many people.
C. Mozart played an important part in people’s life.
D. the US government helped promote the idea.
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the Mozart effect
A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
15. What is the best title for the passage
A. Listening to Mozart, necessary
B. What music is beneficial
C. What is the Mozart effect
D. To be or not to be
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述很多人相信听莫扎特的音乐会让人更聪明，但是研究表明这种影响是短暂的，并不能让人们更加聪明。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Whatever your age, there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart’s music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.(无论你处在什么年龄，总有唱片和书能让你感受莫扎特音乐的魅力，但是当谈到莫扎特音乐能让你更聪明的科学证据时，情况更复杂了)”可知，没有什么科学证据来支持莫扎特音乐能让你更聪明，也就是莫扎特效应，故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children(这个观点很流行，很多父母给孩子听莫扎特的音乐)”以及“It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart’s music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.(不仅婴儿和儿童有意地接触莫扎特音乐，甚至一位意大利的农民让他的牛一天听三次莫扎特音乐来帮助他们产更好的牛奶)”可知，不管是婴儿还是儿童，他们的父母都会给他们听莫扎特的音乐，甚至还有人给牛放莫扎特音乐让他们产奶。由此推知，划线词组表明这种想法被大部分人接受。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“More research was carried out but an analysis of 16 different studies confirmed (证实) that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent.(很多研究被实施了，但是对于16种不同的研究分析证实了听音乐确实能暂时提高大脑处理形状的能力，但是这种影响是短暂的而且也不能让我们更聪明)”可知，作者对莫扎特效应的态度是怀疑的，故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段中“You have probably heard of the Mozart effect.(你可能听过莫扎特效应)”可知，文章主要讲和莫扎特效应相关的信息，结合第3题的分析可知。作者用研究结果表明了听莫扎特音乐不能产生让人更聪明的效应。由此可知，文章主要讲述听莫扎特的音乐并不像大家想的那样让人聪明，所以Listening to Mozart, necessary (听莫扎特，有必要吗？)适合做本文最佳标题。故选A。

【分析】本文为一篇说明文。一项研究发现：我们吃什么与如何吃与体重有很大关系。晚间较少的摄入能保证晨间的新陈代谢最为旺盛，从而控制体重。
【详解】1.考查副词。句意：如果你的手机需要升级软件，你可能会在充满电的时候运行安装程序。分析句子可知，空处缺少副词修饰形容词charged，full的对应副词为fully“完全地”。故填：fully。
2.考查冠词。句意：一项新的研究发现，人类的能量系统以类似的方式运行。分析句子可知，此处表示“一种类似的方式”，修饰可数名词单数fashion“方式”，且为泛指，similar 的发音以辅音音素开头，故填：a。
3.考查从属连词。句意：当身体在早上充满活力的时候，我们的新陈代谢很可能最旺盛。根据句意可知，句子为时间状语从句，表示“当……的时候”，用从属连词when。故填：when。

5.考查定语从句关系词。句意：具体来说，早餐吃得多，夜间禁食18个小时(比如下午1点到早上7点)的人体重最低。分析句子结构可知，为限制性定语从句，先行词people作从句的主语，表示人，用who/that引导。故填：who/that。
6.考查形容词最高级。句意同上。根据句意可知，此处描述有最轻体重的人，the与最高级搭配。故填：lowest。
7.考查过去分词。句意：那些在当天晚些时候，下午6点之后吃东西人，与早餐或午餐吃得最饱的人相比体重更高。空处作句子的状语，逻辑主语those与compare构成被动关系，用过去分词compared。故填：compared。
8.考查动词不定式。句意：洛马琳达大学的研究人员发现，18到19个小时的夜间禁食会重启我们的新陈代谢，帮助我们的身体燃烧卡路里。根据句意可知，“our bodies burn calories”为“that 18-to-19 hour overnight fasts reboot our metabolisms”的目的，用不定式作状语。故填：to help。
9.考查介词。句意：所以，根据你的目标和健康状况，你可以考虑重新安排你的饮食，这样你就可以在早上胰岛素功能最有效的时候消耗更多的卡路里。本题考查固定搭配depend on/upon，意思为：取决于。故填：on/upon。
10.考查代词。句意：正如Kahleova所说，“早餐吃得像国王，午餐吃得像王子，晚餐吃得像乞丐”的古老建议背后有新的科学依据。分析句子可知，空处缺少代词指代“the ancient advice”作宾语，用it。故填：it。

We've seen a worldwide health crisis (危机) bring out the worst in some people, but fortunately, we've also been able to see it bring out the best in others.
A taxi driver in Spain has been providing COVID-19 (新冠肺炎) patients with free rides to and from the hospitals. Doctors and nurses wanted to surprise him with their thanks for helping out.
They tricked him down to the hospital under the pretense of needing to pick up a sick patient, but in reality, doctors and nurses lined the hall waiting to applaud (鼓掌) him.
“This is a surprise that has been given to a taxi driver who takes patients to the hospitals without charge,” wrote the taxi company that first shared the video.
The man seemed completely taken aback by the gesture, stopping in the middle of the doors as the whole room cheered for him.
He was also given an envelope full of money and the satisfying results of his own COVID-19 test.
The video has since been shared tens of thousands of times across the world, because kind gestures break the language barrier (障碍).
“When the crisis is finished, there will have been two types of people... the good and the bad,” one user wrote. “With workmates like him, I am proud to be a taxi driver, son of a taxi driver, and father of a taxi driver.”
With the word in hard times, just knowing good people are there doing good deeds is something we can all appreciate.
4. We can learn from the story that____________.
A. the driver took doctors to and from the hospitals
B. the taxi company ticked the driver to pick up a patient
C. the patients lined the hall to thank the driver
D. the driver stayed safe from COVID-19
5. What does the underlined phrase “taken aback" in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Worried. B. Amazed. C. Frightened. D. Excited.
6. Why has the video been shared so many times across the world
A It moves people of different nations.
B. It encourages more people to be a taxi driver.
C. It shows there will have been two types of people.
D. It calls for doctors and nurses to fight COVID-19.
7. What is the author intended to tell us
A. There is always kindness around us.
B. We should be proud of our own jobs.
C. Helping others is the biggest happiness.
D. Taxi drivers play an important part in this crisis.
C
I have never understood why we keep a garden and why years ago when I bought my first house, I started digging up a small land for vegetables before doing anything else. It is so easy and cheap to buy carrots; why raise them When April comes, I always find myself looking at that miserable land, resolving not to plant it again. But unavoidably a morning arrives when, just as I am awakening, a refreshing scent, as if from the very center of this planet, comes through the window. And the sun suddenly, seems to have a different, deeper yellow in its light on the carpet.
It is not only pleasure sending me back to stare at that plot of soil, it is real conflict. The question is the same each year—what method should we use The last few years we put black plastic between the rows, and it worked perfectly. But plastic looks so industrial, so unromantic, that I have gradually moved over to hay. We cut a lot of hay and it does improve the soil. Besides, it looks lovely and comes to us free.
The attractions of gardening, I think, at least for some gardeners, are moral. Whenever life seems pointless and difficult to grasp, you can always get out in the garden and get something done. Also, your parental instinct comes into play because helpless living things are depending on you, requiring training and protection from enemies. In some cases, as with beans and cucumbers, your children—as it were, begin to turn upon on you in great numbers, growing more and more each morning and threatening to follow you into the house.
8. What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph
A. He always likes buying carrots. B. He always makes decisions in April.
C. He takes good care of the small land. D. He enjoys the garden in spring.
9. What drove the author to abandon plastic
A. High price. B. Environmental concern.
C. Poor function. D. Personal preference.
10. Why does the author say the attractions of gardening are moral
A. Gardening requires wisdom. B. Gardening offers moral advice.
C. Gardening improves parenting. D. Gardening brings spiritual content.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. To Garden or Not B. What I Garden for
C. How to Garden D. Wisdom from Gardens
D
You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It’s the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed of Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search shows plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age, there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart’s music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.
The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that aroused real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was no doubt a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, we’ll become more intelligent.
The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the USA, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart’s music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.
I’ll leave the debate on the effect on milk production to farmers but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent More research was carried out but an analysis of 16 different studies confirmed (证实) that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.
B. Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent
C. There are few products on the Internet about Mozart’s music
D. There is little scientific evidence to support the Mozart effect.
13. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 suggests that
A. people were strongly against the idea.
B. the idea was accepted by many people.
C. Mozart played an important part in people’s life.
D. the US government helped promote the idea.
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the Mozart effect
A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
15. What is the best title for the passage
A. Listening to Mozart, necessary
B. What music is beneficial
C. What is the Mozart effect
D. To be or not to be
