I’ve been a volunteer in the Macmillan@Glasgow Libraries programme for just over a year. I got involved because I was looking for something to volunteer for after I retired from work. I thought being a Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Volunteer might be a good way to do that by using some of the skills I learned at work.
At one time, I felt I made a real difference when a lady come to use the service. She was very upset, but she was not the person with cancer. It was her partner. She had lots of things on her mind. We, together with a counselor, had a chat about her to help deal with all the emotions she felt. We knew we could arrange something, so we discussed with her what could be done for her family. She was relieved that we could get something arranged for her and liked the fact that we managed to get the ball rolling during her visit.
The good thing about having the services in the library is that the environment is non-clinical and therefore more relaxing than the hospital or doctor’s surgery. The team in the library are not medically trained. That means we do not use big words or medical terms very often.
It’s great that the people who volunteer all work well together, helping each other to get a solution for people who come in. It’s good to have to team at the other end of the phone whenever we get something unusual. It is a pleasure to be able to help as a volunteer.
4. What can we infer about the author
A. He is a retired doctor.
B. He is volunteering in a hospital.
C. He is a counselor in cancer.
D. He has fought against cancer before.
5. Why did the lady feel upset
A. Because she was affected by cancer.
B. Because her husband suffered from cancer.
C. Because she didn’t know how to treat cancer.
D. Because she had a poor relation with her husband.
6. What do we know about the volunteers
A. They do well in teamwork. B. They receive medical training.
C. They all waited to be helped. D. They often meet unusual things.
7. Why does the author write this text
A. To call on readers to do voluntary work.
B. To show us how to help those in trouble.
C. To share his experiences as a volunteer.
D. To teach us how to take care of cancer patients.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者作为一名志愿者的经历。作者退休后，利用自己的技能去帮助那些需要帮助的人，并从中得到了快乐。
【4题详解】

It is becoming more and more important for researchers to closely observe our sea life, with climate change and overfishing damaging our oceans. However, this is almost impossible since human presence scares the animals.
Now, thanks to The Soft Robotic Fish, also called SoFi, researchers may not only be able to keep a close eye on the creatures, but also uncover undersea secrets that have been confusing us for centuries. Though not the first autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) created to observe the oceans, SoFi solves many of the problems that have hindered (妨碍) the usefulness of previous robots.
AUVs traditionally have had to be tied to a boat because radio communications do not work well underwater. To solve the problem, CSAIL director Daniela Rus and her team used sound waves which can travel greater distances, allowing drivers using a waterproofed Super Nintendo controller to guide SoFi from up to 50 feet away. To ensure SoFi can freely move around, a controller fitted with a battery powers the robot through the ocean.
During test dives, SoFi moved alongside the sea life at depths of 50 feet for up to 40 minutes at a time, taking high-quality photos and videos. Even more importantly, it was able to do so without causing some noises. The researchers say sometimes the fish would swim alongside the strange-looking robot-fish out of curiosity, while at other times they appeared completely unaware of its existence.
While SoFi currently only records videos, future versions will include sensors. “For us, this fish is magical,” says Rus. “We imagine someday it might help us uncover more mysteries from the amazing underwater world that we know so little about.”
12. The first paragraph is used to ________.
A. attract readers’ attention B. provide background information
C. call on people to stop overfishing D. show human influence on sea animals
13. What drives SoFi to move underwater
A. A solar battery B. Sound waves
C. A special controller D. A robot
14. What words may be used to describe SoFi
A. Multi-functional and emotional. B. Scary-looking but sensitive.
C. Fast-moving and disturbing. D. Silent-running and magical.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Rus has a magical fish. B. SoFi should be improved.
C. Rus has designed sensors for SoFi. D. We know little about the SoFi.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍的是一项叫做SoFi的新发明，研究人员通过它可以密切观察海洋生物。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。本文主要介绍的是一项叫做SoFi的新发明，研究人员通过它可以密切观察海洋生物。根据第一段内容“It is becoming more and more important for researchers to closely observe our sea life, with climate change and overfishing damaging our oceans. However, this is almost impossible since human presence scares the animals.”（随着气候变化和过度捕捞对海洋的破坏，研究人员密切观察我们的海洋生物变得越来越重要。然而，这几乎是不可能的，因为人类的存在吓坏了动物。）可知，第一段介绍了密切观察海洋生物的重要性，但现实条件不允许，因为人类的出现会吓坏海洋生物。由此可推断出，第一段是为后文要介绍的新发明SoFi提供背景信息的，告诉我们是什么促使研究人员研发SoFi。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“To ensure SoFi can freely move around , a controller fitted with a battery powers the robot through the ocean.”（为了确保SoFi能够在海洋中自由移动，它装有电池的控制器则为机器人在海洋中移动提供动力。）可知，装有电池的控制器为机器人在海洋中移动提供动力。由此可知，一个特殊的控制器驱动SoFi在水下移动。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“During test dives, SoFi moved alongside the sea life at depths of 50 feet for up to 40 minutes at a time, taking high-quality photos and videos. Even more importantly, it was able to do so without causing some noises.”（在试水期间，SoFi在50英尺深处的海洋生物旁边移动，每次长达40分钟，拍摄高质量的照片和视频。更重要的是，它能够在不引起噪音的情况下做到这一点。）可知它是静音的；且根据最后一段“For us, this fish is magical,” says Rus. “We imagine someday it might help us uncover more mysteries from the amazing underwater world that we know so little about.”（对我们来说，这条鱼很神奇，”罗斯说。“我们想象有一天它可能会帮助我们从我们所知甚少的神奇的水下世界中揭开更多的奥秘。）可知也是magical的，故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“While SoFi currently only records videos, future versions will include sensors.”（虽然SoFi目前只能录制视频，但未来的版本将包括传感器。）可知，目前SoFi只能录制视频，但经过后期的研发，未来的版本将包括传感器，由此可推断出，SoFi需要改进，提升功能。故选B项。

考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：自1973年袁隆平培育出第一株杂交水稻以来几乎半个世纪过去了，到去年年底40多个国家的农民已经种植了超过700万公顷的作物。根据时间状语从句“since Yuan Longping developed the first strain of hybrid rice in 1973”可知，用现在完成时，主语“Nearly half a century”视为单数，故谓语动词用第三人称单数，故填has gone。
【47题详解】
考查介词。句意：自1973年袁隆平培育出第一株杂交水稻以来几乎半个世纪过去了，到去年年底40多个国家的农民已经种植了超过700万公顷的这种农作物。by the end of…“到……为止”是固定短语，接表示过去的时间用过去完成时，根据句意，故填by。

【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我认为，我们永远不应该忘记袁隆平，一个伟大的全心全意为人民服务的科学家。分析句子可知，serve作定语，修饰scientist，serve与逻辑主语scientist是主动关系，故用现在分词作定语，故填serving。

【详解】1. 考查动词的时态。句意：那是星期一的早晨，写作课刚刚开始。分析可知，此处表示过去之前发生的事情，应用过去分词和had构成过去完成时态，即had+done。故将begin改成begun。
2. 考查非谓语动词。句意：每个人都沉默着，等着看谁会被要求大声朗读他或她的段落。句子主语和wait是主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语。故将wait 改成waiting。

7. 考查冠词。句意：那一刻，我想起父亲曾经说过:“教室是学习的地方，也包括从课本中学习，也包括从错误中学习。”。此处泛指一个地方，用不定冠词，place是以辅音音素发音开头的单词，故用a。故将the改成a。
8. 考查主谓一致。句意：那一刻，我想起父亲曾经说过:“教室是学习的地方，也包括从课本中学习，也包括从错误中学习。”陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语为that，所以谓语用用第三人称单数形式。故将include 改成includes
9. 考查名词复数。句意：那一刻，我想起父亲曾经说过:“教室是学习的地方，也包括从课本中学习，也包括从错误中学习。”mistake为可数名词，前面无冠词，用复数形式。故将mistake 改成mistakes。

Many famous churches as listed below have a long religious history, inventive architecture and dedicated craftsmanship.
Sagrada Familia
This church located in Barcelona, Spain is a UNESCO World Heritage Site(世界文化遗址). It is a Roman Catholic Church planned by architect Antoni Gaudi and its construction began in 1882. However, it remains incomplete till today. This is mainly because of its huge size and the process to return the earliest construction to its original condition would never end. A tour of the whole church would take about a week.
Saint Basil’s Cathedral
This famous church is located in Moscow, the capital of Russia and marks the exact center of the city. It was completed in 1561 under the rule of Ivan the Terrible and has a very colorful architecture unusual for a church. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is perhaps one of the most famous churches in the world because it appears in many movies.
Westminster Abbey
This famous church is in London and is one of the iconic(标志性的) buildings in the country. It was built in the 10th century and today is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Thames River and Westminster Palace are both located near the Abbey and the Gothic(哥特式的) architecture draws many tourists each year. Westminster Abbey is also the place for important events of the royal family.
Church of the Nativity
This church is located in Bethlehem, Palestine and is believed to be the birthplace of Jesus. Its construction was started 327AD and today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This church, however, does not see many tourists because of the ongoing conflict in Palestine.
1. What's the common character of the churches
A. They're Gothic architectures. B. They are located in city centers.
C. They are UNESCO world heritage sites. D. They are visited by many tourists every year.
2. Which church has the longest history

C. Westminster Abbey. D. Church of the Nativity.

A. Its construction didn't start until recently. B. Repair is needed before completing it.
C. Early buildings will be pulled down. D. People want to make it larger and larger.
B
I’ve been a volunteer in the Macmillan@Glasgow Libraries programme for just over a year. I got involved because I was looking for something to volunteer for after I retired from work. I thought being a Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Volunteer might be a good way to do that by using some of the skills I learned at work.
At one time, I felt I made a real difference when a lady come to use the service. She was very upset, but she was not the person with cancer. It was her partner. She had lots of things on her mind. We, together with a counselor, had a chat about her to help deal with all the emotions she felt. We knew we could arrange something, so we discussed with her what could be done for her family. She was relieved that we could get something arranged for her and liked the fact that we managed to get the ball rolling during her visit.
The good thing about having the services in the library is that the environment is non-clinical and therefore more relaxing than the hospital or doctor’s surgery. The team in the library are not medically trained. That means we do not use big words or medical terms very often.

Six “sacrificial pits (祭祀坑)”, dating back 3,200 to 4,000 years, were newly discovered in Sanxingdui Ruins site in Guanghan, Southwest China’s Sichuan province. Over 500 artifacts, including gold masks, bronze wares, ivories, jades, and textiles, were unearthed from the site.
Sanxingdui site, first found in 1929, is generally considered as one of the most important archaeological(考古) sites along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. However, the work of excavation on the site only began in 1986, when two pits — widely believed for sacrificial ceremonies — were accidentally discovered.
Investigation in the area around No. 1 and 2 pits was relaunched in October 2019, and No. 3 pit was found in December 2019, according to Lei Yu, a researcher of Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute who heads the ongoing excavation. Thirty-four research universities and research institutes have cooperated in this project. He said the new discoveries will help to better understand many unexplained findings in 1986.
More excavation followed in March 2020, and five more pits were found last year. And detailed research began in October. Excavation capsules with hi-tech equipment were set up in the pits in order to prevent the site from further damage.
Sanxingdui site covers an area of 12 square kilometers, and its core zone of an ancient city covers nearly 4 square kilometers. According to the National Cultural Heritage Administration, studies of Sanxingdui site will become a crucial project in an ongoing program Archaeology China, which tries to explain the origins of Chinese civilization and how diverse cultures communicate and come together.
8. What does the underlined word “excavation” in paragraph 2 probably mean

C Exploration D. Extension
9. How did archaeologists protect the Sanxingdui site
A. By dividing the task of excavation into several parts.
B. By cooperating with research universities and institutes.
C. By using excavation capsule armed with hi-tech equipment.
D. By conducting more experiments around the site.

B. The discovery of Sanxingdui site only began in 2019.
C. There are 6 sacrificial pits discovered in Sanxingdui site in all.
D. The size of the core zone is about 1/3 times of Sanxingdui site.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Sacrificial pits were unearthed in Sanxingdui Site.
B. Sanxingdui Site needed to be protected.
C. Sanxingdui discoveries tell us more about ancient China.
D. Hi-tech helped to explore Sanxingdui Site.

It is becoming more and more important for researchers to closely observe our sea life, with climate change and overfishing damaging our oceans. However, this is almost impossible since human presence scares the animals.
Now thanks to The Soft Robotic Fish, also called SoFi, researchers may not only be able to keep a close eye on the creatures, but also uncover undersea secrets that have been confusing us for centuries. Though not the first autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) created to observe the oceans, SoFi solves many of the problems that have hindered (妨碍) the usefulness of previous robots.
AUVs traditionally have had to be tied to a boat because radio communications do not work well underwater. To solve the problem, CSAIL director Daniela Rus and her team used sound waves which can travel greater distances, allowing drivers using a waterproofed Super Nintendo controller to guide SoFi from up to 50 feet away. To ensure SoFi can freely move around, a controller fitted with a battery powers the robot through the ocean.
During test dives, SoFi moved alongside the sea life at depths of 50 feet for up to 40 minutes at a time, taking high-quality photos and videos. Even more importantly, it was able to do so without causing some noises. The researchers say sometimes the fish would swim alongside the strange-looking robot-fish out of curiosity, while at other times they appeared completely unaware of its existence.
While SoFi currently only records videos, future versions will include sensors. “For us, this fish is magical,” says Rus. “We imagine someday it might help us uncover more mysteries from the amazing underwater world that we know so little about.”
12. The first paragraph is used to ________.
A. attract readers’ attention B. provide background information
C. call on people to stop overfishing D. show human influence on sea animals
13. What drives SoFi to move underwater
A. A solar battery B. Sound waves
C. A special controller D. A robot
14. What words may be used to describe SoFi
A. Multi-functional and emotional. B. Scary-looking but sensitive.
C. Fast-moving and disturbing. D. Silent-running and magical.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Rus has a magical fish. B. SoFi should be improved.
C. Rus has designed sensors for SoFi. D. We know little about the SoFi.
