As I walked into the primary school, I looked down at my new black shoes. I stood at Mrs. Blackstone’s door. Before I tried the great escape, the door opened. “We’ve been waiting for you!” Mrs. Blackstone, my new fifth grade teacher, said loudly. With a smile my mom walked away and I was left standing in the center stage in front of a group of students.
Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone made it her job to find me a new best friend. During history lessons, when I didn’t want to speak in front of the class, she’d not only call on me but have me stand up to address my classmates.
One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class. “I’d like to speak with you, Amanda.” My mind raced. Had I got a bad grade Had I hurt anyone’s feelings “Are you enjoying your new school ” She sat comfortably behind her desk. “I want to tell you something, between you and me, not to be shared with anyone else.” She continued, “I see something special in you. The way you communicate with others, and the kindness you show—I think you have great potential to be something important.” I listened carefully to every word. “I have been a teacher for over twenty-five years; I can see it. But you must believe in yourself. That’s very important. Remember that and you’ll go far,” she said.
Her voice was music to my ears that day. I walked out of her office, not staring at my shoes, but looking straight ahead with my head high. My teacher saw something special in me! Years later, her words still remain inside of me.

Robots that can cook are in growing demand in the United States. The increased demand comes at a time when restaurants are trying to put some distance between their workers and customers during the COVID-19.
In a few weeks, White Castle restaurants will test a robot arm that can cook French fries and other foods. The robot, called Flippy, is a product of Miso Robotics, a company based in Pasadena, California.
Robot food service was becoming popular even before the coronavirus pandemic (冠状病毒). Hospitals, college dining areas and other places tried to meet demand for food while keeping labor costs low. Robot chefs appeared at places like Creator, a restaurant in San Francisco. Now, some say, robots may become necessary for the food service industry. “I expect in the next two years you will see much more robotic adoption (采用) in the food space because of COVID-19,” Jain said.
Some people say, robots can lower the demand for labor. At the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, cafe workers used to spend six hours per day making salads, notes Tonya Johnson, the school’s director of nutrition services. But two years ago, the university added a Sally, a kind of robot that now makes around 40 salads per day. By adding Sally, the school was able to cut a job opening in its cooking staff. Johnson said, “I think the pandemic has made us realize how much we need more equipment like Sally.”
Miso Robotics co-founder and chief Buck Jordan said fast food restaurants are already having trouble finding workers, partly as a result of a losing population of young workers. Jordan added that his company’s position is that “automation (自动化) is not a choice”. He added, “You must automate in order to survive in the future.”
28. Why is robot food service becoming popular
A. It can take the place of human beings in the future.
B. It can shorten the distance between workers and customers.
C. It can make all kinds of delicious food in a very short time.
D. It can meet the demand for food and reduce the cost of labor.
29. What does Johnson say about Sally
A. It is just a common robot like others. B. It is useless to improve the speed of work.
C. It helps the school employ fewer workers. D. It makes as many salads as workers.
30. What’s Jordan’s attitude to automation
A. Worried. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent
31. What’s the purpose of this text
A. To tell us an increasing need for robot cooks in US restaurants.
B. To advertise robot cooks.
C. To introduce a new food service to deal with COVID-19.
D. To complain about the difficulties in finding enough labor workers.
D
Today’s world is not an easy adjustment (适应) for young adults. Key skill for success is persistence (毅力), a characteristic (特点) that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers play a key role in helping their children learn persistence.
BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school.
“There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers,” Padilla-Walker said. “This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence—which can be taught— are key to a child’s life success.”
Researchers determined that dads need to practice an “authoritative” (权威的) parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid (顽固的), demanding or controlling. Instead, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given an appropriate (恰当的) level of autonomy (自主权).
In the study, about 52 percent of the dads showed above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in school.
This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence which is a way of future research.
32. What is special about the BYU professors’ study
A. It centered on fathers’ role in parenting.
B. It was based on a number of large families.
C It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.
D. It aimed to improve kids’ achievement in school.
33. What would an authoritative father do when raising his children
A. Ignore their demands. B. Make decisions for them.
C. Explain the rules to them. D. Control their behaviors.
34. Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers
A. Children aged from 11 to 14. B. Single parents.
C. Authoritarian fathers. D. Mothers in two-parent homes.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Three characteristics of authoritative fathers.
B. Key skills for young adults to succeed in future.
C. Family relationship influences school performance.
D. Children tend to learn determination from father.

【原文】M: One day, a garbage collector came to Ghaliya’s house in Jakarta. The man asked if she had an old mobile phone his children could use to get on the Internet. The man said it doesn’t matter if it is the ugly one, as long as his children can use it for learning from home.
Ghaliya works for a national newspaper. Shortly after the coronavirus hit Jakarta, she and 11 other journalists organized a group to provide food and money to people in need. They started hearing from parents who wanted their children to study online but lacked a way to use the Internet. Ghaliya thought of her meeting with the garbage collector when she and her group decided to provide mobile phones to poor students.
When the journalists announced their activity through social media, many people donated second-hand phones, while others gave cash donations. As of November, the journalists had collected more than 200 mobile phones and donations of more than $35,000. They used the money to buy more phones. They also paid for Internet use for those needing it. Currently, nearly 300 phones have been given to the students.

As I walked into the primary school, I looked down at my new black shoes. I stood at Mrs. Blackstone’s door. Before I tried the great escape, the door opened. “We’ve been waiting for you!” Mrs. Blackstone, my new fifth grade teacher, said loudly. With a smile my mom walked away and I was left standing in the center stage in front of a group of students.
Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone made it her job to find me a new best friend. During history lessons, when I didn’t want to speak in front of the class, she’d not only call on me but have me stand up to address my classmates.
One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class. “I’d like to speak with you, Amanda.” My mind raced. Had I got a bad grade Had I hurt anyone’s feelings “Are you enjoying your new school ” She sat comfortably behind her desk. “I want to tell you something, between you and me, not to be shared with anyone else.” She continued, “I see something special in you. The way you communicate with others, and the kindness you show—I think you have great potential to be something important.” I listened carefully to every word. “I have been a teacher for over twenty-five years; I can see it. But you must believe in yourself. That’s very important. Remember that and you’ll go far,” she said.

Robots that can cook are in growing demand in the United States. The increased demand comes at a time when restaurants are trying to put some distance between their workers and customers during the COVID-19.
In a few weeks, White Castle restaurants will test a robot arm that can cook French fries and other foods. The robot, called Flippy, is a product of Miso Robotics, a company based in Pasadena, California.
Robot food service was becoming popular even before the coronavirus pandemic (冠状病毒). Hospitals, college dining areas and other places tried to meet demand for food while keeping labor costs low. Robot chefs appeared at places like Creator, a restaurant in San Francisco. Now, some say, robots may become necessary for the food service industry. “I expect in the next two years you will see much more robotic adoption (采用) in the food space because of COVID-19,” Jain said.
Some people say, robots can lower the demand for labor. At the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, cafe workers used to spend six hours per day making salads, notes Tonya Johnson, the school’s director of nutrition services. But two years ago, the university added a Sally, a kind of robot that now makes around 40 salads per day. By adding Sally, the school was able to cut a job opening in its cooking staff. Johnson said, “I think the pandemic has made us realize how much we need more equipment like Sally.”
Miso Robotics co-founder and chief Buck Jordan said fast food restaurants are already having trouble finding workers, partly as a result of a losing population of young workers. Jordan added that his company’s position is that “automation (自动化) is not a choice”. He added, “You must automate in order to survive in the future.”
28. Why is robot food service becoming popular
A. It can take the place of human beings in the future.
B. It can shorten the distance between workers and customers.
C. It can make all kinds of delicious food in a very short time.
D. It can meet the demand for food and reduce the cost of labor.
29. What does Johnson say about Sally
A. It is just a common robot like others. B. It is useless to improve the speed of work.
C. It helps the school employ fewer workers. D. It makes as many salads as workers.
30. What’s Jordan’s attitude to automation
A. Worried. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent
31. What’s the purpose of this text
A. To tell us an increasing need for robot cooks in US restaurants.
B. To advertise robot cooks.
C. To introduce a new food service to deal with COVID-19.
D. To complain about the difficulties in finding enough labor workers.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了美国餐馆对机器人厨师的需求量越来越大。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Robot food service was becoming popular even before the coronavirus pandemic(冠状病毒). Hospitals, college dining areas and other places tried to meet demand for food while keeping labor costs low. （甚至在冠状病毒大流行之前，机器人食物服务就已经很流行了。医院，大学食堂和其他地方在试图满足食物需求的同时保持低劳动力成本）”可知，机器人可以满足对食物的需求并且降低劳动力成本。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“By adding Sally, the school was able to cut a job opening in its cooking staff, Johnson said.（约翰逊说，通过增加莎莉，学校能够裁掉一个烹饪人员的职位）”可知，Sally这个机器人相当于一个员工，可以减少雇佣一个员工。即Sally可以帮助学校雇佣更少的员工。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Jordan added that his company's position is that "automation(自动化)is not a choice". He added, "You must automate in order to survive in the future."（乔丹补充说：“他的公司的立场是“自动化不是一种选择”。他还说：“为了在未来生存，你必须自动化。”）”可知他认为自动化是必定的趋势，因此他对此是支持的 。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段的“Robots that can cook are in growing demand in the United States. The increased demand comes at a time when restaurants are trying to put some distance between their workers and customers during the COVID-19.（能做饭的机器人在美国的需求量越来越大。需求增加之际，正值新冠疫情爆发期间，餐厅正试图让员工与顾客保持一定距离）”可知，本文的主要目的是告诉我们美国餐馆的机器人厨师的需求量越来越大。故选A。

Today’s world is not an easy adjustment (适应) for young adults. Key skill for success is persistence (毅力), a characteristic (特点) that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers play a key role in helping their children learn persistence.
BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school.
“There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers,” Padilla-Walker said. “This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence—which can be taught— are key to a child’s life success.”
Researchers determined that dads need to practice an “authoritative” (权威的) parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid (顽固的), demanding or controlling. Instead, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given an appropriate (恰当的) level of autonomy (自主权).
In the study, about 52 percent of the dads showed above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in school.
This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is a way of future research.
32. What is special about the BYU professors’ study
A. It centered on fathers’ role in parenting.
B. It was based on a number of large families.
C. It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.
D. It aimed to improve kids’ achievement in school.
33. What would an authoritative father do when raising his children
A. Ignore their demands. B. Make decisions for them.
C. Explain the rules to them. D. Control their behaviors.
34. Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers
A. Children aged from 11 to 14. B. Single parents.
C. Authoritarian fathers. D. Mothers in two-parent homes.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Three characteristics of authoritative fathers.
B. Key skills for young adults to succeed in future.
C. Family relationship influences school performance.
D. Children tend to learn determination from father.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。研究人员发现，父亲在帮助青春期的孩子学习毅力方面具有独特的地位。研究人员认为，父亲们需要采用一种“权威”的养育方式，且一项重要的发现是，随着时间的推移，由权威父亲抚养长大的孩子更有可能培养出坚持不懈的精神，从而在学校取得更好的成绩。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers play a key role in helping their children learn persistence.（杨百翰大学的研究人员发现，父亲在帮助青春期的孩子学习毅力方面具有独特的地位）”可知，杨百翰大学研究的特别之处在于，它关注的是父亲在养育子女中的角色，因此，BYU教授的研究别之处是A项“It centered on fathers’ role in parenting.( 它关注父亲在养育子女中的角色)”符合题意，故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Instead, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given an appropriate (恰当的) level of autonomy (自主权).（相反，权威的养育方式包括以下一些特征：孩子们感受到来自父亲的温暖和爱；强调责任和规则背后的原因；孩子们被给予适当的自主权）”可知，权威的养育方式是，父亲在抚养孩子时会向他们讲道理，解释规则，让孩子懂道理。因此，一个有权威的父亲在抚养孩子时，可能会做的事情是C项“Explain the rules to them(向他们解释规则)”，故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is a way of future research.（然而，研究人员认为，单亲父母仍然可能在教授坚持不懈的好处方面发挥作用，这是未来研究的一个方向）”可知，根据研究人员的说法，成为未来研究的重点的群体是B项“Single parents (单亲父母)”。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段中“A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in school.（一项重要的发现是，随着时间的推移，由权威父亲抚养长大的孩子更有可能培养出坚持不懈的精神，从而在学校取得更好的成绩）”以及文章主要内容为说明父亲在养育子女中的角色，因此，这篇文章主要讲的是D项“Children tend to learn determination from father(孩子们倾向于向父亲学习决心)” 符合题意，故选D项。

Some people are great at remembering faces. While, for some people, remembering a face can be difficult. Even for others, remembering a face may be ____71____ (possible). Such people have a condition ____72____ ( call) “face blindness”. Its actual name is DP, ____73____ is short for Developmental Prosopagnosia.
Experts say DP can differ ____74____ (great) from patient to patient. In less severe cases, people are unable to describe the face of someone they have just met. In severe cases, people cannot even recognize ____75____ (they) own children in a group photo.
Those who have DP show no clear signs. Take Dacia for example. If you met her, you probably wouldn’t know that she suffered brain damage as a child. There would be no sign of it until you meet her a second time. She wouldn’t remember you at all. Dacia has mostly recovered from her ____76____ (injure). But now, she suffers from face blindness.
In the past face blindness ____77____ (think) to be very rare. But recent studies have shown that it might be more common ____78____ experts thought. The study on face blindness will not directly lead ___79___ any treatments. However, it may offer a much deeper understanding of how we remember ____80____ world around us.

80. the
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了脸盲症的症状以及对脸盲症的一些研究。
【详解】1.考查形容词。句意：甚至对于其他人来说，记住一张面孔或许是不可能的。根据上文“While, for some people, remembering a face can be difficult.”(然而，对于一些人来说，记住一张面孔可能是困难的)可知，本句是表示一种更深的程度，即“甚至对于其他人来说，记住一张面孔或许是不可能的”，所以空处填impossible，表示“不可能的”，故填impossible。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意:这些人患有“脸盲症”。分析句子结构可知，“______( call) “face blindness””是非谓语动词做后置定语，condition(状况)和call(叫做)之间是被动关系，应用过去分词形式，故填called。
3.考查定语从句关系词。句意：它的真实名字是发展性人面失认症，简称DP。分析句子结构可知，后半句是非限定性定语从句，先行词是DP(发展性人面失认症)，指物，且定语从句中缺少主语，所以在非限定性定语从句中只能用关系代词which，故填which。
4.考查副词。句意：专家说，DP因人而异。空处是副词来修饰前面的动词differ(不同），故填greatly。
5.考查代词。句意：在严重的情况下，人们甚至不能在合影中认出他们自己的孩子。放在名词children(孩子)前，应用形容词性物主代词，故填their。
6.考查名词。句意：Dacia的伤势已经基本恢复。根据前面的形容词性物主代词her(她的)可知，空处填名词形式，做from的宾语，故填injury。
7.考查时态和语态。句意：脸盲症曾经被认为是非常罕见的。根据in the past(过去)可知，句子描述的是过去的事，应用一般过去时；主语“face blindness”(脸盲)和谓语think(认为)是被动关系，所以应用一般过去时的被动，且主语是不可数名词，故填was thought。
8.考查连词。句意：但是最近的研究表明，脸盲症或许比专家人为的更普遍。根据句意和more common(更加普遍)可知，more common是比较级，所以空处应用than，表示“比”，故填than。
9.考查固定搭配。句意：脸盲症的研究不会直接导致任何治疗。lead to是固定搭配，表示“导致”，故填to。
10.考查冠词。句意：然而，它可以让我们更深入地了解我们是如何记住周围的世界的。根据后面的around us(在我们周围)可知，world(世界)表示特指，应用冠词the表示特指，故填the。

This story was happened ten years ago. I was traveling with my parent during winter vacation. We were in a very large shopping center, and I was so excited to see such huge place. Suddenly I turned around to ask my mom and dad something, but they were gone. I don't know which direction they went. I looked for them in difference places, but I couldn't find them. I was so nervously that I began crying and shouting loudly. Heard that, a lady came up to us and asked if I was OK. Then she told the customers through a loudspeaker that a little boy with a blue coat or a red hat was lost. Two minutes late, my mom and dad came running toward me.
【答案】1. 删除was
2.parent→parents
3.huge前加a
4.don’t →didn’t
5.difference→different
6.nervously→nervous
7.Heard→Hearing
8.us→me
9.or→and
10.late→later
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和父母一起旅行，在一个购物中心走丢了，然后通过一位女士的帮助找到父母的故事。
【详解】1. 考查动词。句意：这个故事发生在十年前。happen 发生，为不及物动词，没有被动语态，故删除was 。
2. 考查名词的数。句意：寒假期间我和父母一起旅行。分析可知，下文中有“my mom and dad”（我的妈妈和爸爸），因此parent用复数形式，故将parent改为parents。
3. 考查冠词。句意：我们在一个非常大的购物中心，看到这么大的地方我很兴奋。place为可数名词，并且此处表示单数意义，故形容词huge前面要加不定冠词，又因huge的发音以辅音音素开头，故用a。故huge前加a。
4. 考查时态。句意：我不知道他们往哪个方向走了。分析可知，表示过去发生的事情用一般过去时，故将don’t 改为didn’t。
5. 考查形容词。句意：我在不同的地方找过他们。分析可知，用形容词修饰名词places。故将difference改为different。
6. 考查形容词。句意：我太紧张了以至于开始大哭。分析可知，was后接形容词作表语，故将nervously改为nervous。
7. 考查非谓语动词。句意：听到这，一位女士走到我跟前，问我是否还好。分析可知，此句谓语为came up to，此处为非谓语动词，lady与hear之间为主动关系，用现在分词作状语。故将Heard改为Hearing。
8. 考查代词。句意：听到这，一位女士走到我跟前，问我是否还好。由句意可知，哭的人是我，因此代词用me作宾语。故将us改为me。
9. 考查连词。句意：然后她通过扩音器告诉顾客，一个穿着蓝色外套、戴着红帽子的小男孩走失了。分析可知，with a blue coat 、 a red hat（穿蓝色外衣、戴红色帽子的），两个为并列关系，用and。故将or改为and。
10. 考查副词。句意：两分钟后，我爸妈朝我跑过来。分析可知，late 迟、晚；later 以后；一段时间+later表示“……长时间后”，故将late改为later。

【答案】参考范文：
Dear Dale,
Delighted to learn that you are coming to Sichuan for the winter vacation, I am writing to put forward some suggestions at your request.
When it comes to travel in Sichuan, my hometown Nanchong, which is located in the north-east of Sichuan province, is a city that you can’t miss. It’s not far from the provincial capital Chengdu, only 1 and a half hours’ ride on bullet trains.
Nanchong really lives up to its name as a renowned historical city, for just a tour of White Tower and Wanjuanlou scenic area will give you a glimpse of both traditional Chinese architecture and literature. Moreover, nothing beats an evening buffet in Tianlai Hotel where you can enjoy local specialties like rice noodles as well as the stunning night view along Jialing River. Last but not least, people here are friendly. When we meet, we usually shake hands on formal occasions, while, in most cases, all you need is smile and nodding.
Hopefully, the suggestions above can be of some help to you. Looking forward to your trip.
Yours,
Li Hua
