Many graduation ceremonies look different. But for Melody Ormond, it looked different because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond. They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together.
Pat took her first college class at Kennesaw State University 42 years ago. After one semester, she dropped out to move to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family. While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired. She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College in Kentucky. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility.
Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity.
“We are so proud to have graduates like Melody Ormond and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven R. Angle, UTC Chancellor,” Together, they personify the determination, commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.”
Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. “Learning never stops,” Pat said. “That’s something that my father taught me when I was young. No matter what you do, learning never stops. Even if it’s auditing (旁听) a few classes, there’s always that option. “Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. She’s already working on another degree — a bachelor’s degree in history.
Meanwhile, her granddaughter, who is hunting jobs, is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer. But she says she’s in no rush. Her nana has taught her that she has plenty of time.
24. What was special for Melody’s graduation ceremony
A. It looked different from others.
B. Her grandmother was 75-year-old.
C. She celebrated it with all her classmates.
D. Her grandmother graduated alongside her.
25. What does the underlined word “personify” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Represent. B. Follow. C. Repeat. D. Identify.
26. What can we know about Pat’s family
A. They are anxious to be celebrities.
B. They support and encourage each other.
C. They prefer auditing regular lessons.
D. They never stop creating opportunities.
27. Which of the following can best describe Pat Ormond’s story
A. Passion gives life power. B. A good beginning is half done.
C. It’s never too late to learn. D. Love can change everything.
C
Hundreds of people die at sea every year due to ship and airplane accidents. Emergency teams have little time to rescue those in the water because the probability of finding a person alive falls dramatically after six hours. Beyond tides and challenging weather conditions, unsteady coastal currents often make search and rescue operations extremely difficult.
New insight into coastal flows gained by an international research team led by George Haller, Professor of Nonlinear Dynamics at ETH Zurich, promises to enhance the search and rescue techniques currently in use. Using tools from dynamical system theory and ocean data, the team has developed an algorithm (算法) to predict where objects and people floating in water will go. “Our work has a clear potential to save lives,” says Mattia Serra, the first author of a study recently published in Nature Communications.
In today’s rescue operations at sea, complicated models of ocean dynamics and weather forecast are used to predict the path of floating objects. For fast-changing coastal waters, however, such predictions are often inaccurate due to uncertain boundaries and missing data. As a result, a search may be launched in the wrong location, causing the loss of precious time.
Haller’s research team obtained mathematical results predicting that objects floating on the ocean’s surface should gather along a few special curves (曲线) which they call TRansient Attracting Profiles (TRAPs). These curves can’t be seen with our eyes but can be tracked from instant ocean surface current data using recent mathematical methods developed by the ETH team. This enables quick and precise planning of search paths that are less sensitive to uncertainties in the time and place of the accident.
In cooperation with a team from MIT, the ETH team tested their new, TRAPs-based search algorithm in two separate ocean experiments near Martha’s Vineyard, which is on the northeastern coast of the United States. Working from the same real-time data available to the Coast Guard, the team successfully identified TRAPs in the region in real time. They found that buoys and manikins (浮标和人体模型) thrown in the water indeed quickly gathered along these emerging curves. “Of several competing approaches tested in this project, this was the only algorithm that researchers consistently found the right location with,” says Haller.
“Our results are rapidly obtained, easy to interpret and cheap to perform,” points out Serra. Haller stresses, “Our hope is that this method will become a standard part of the tool kit of coast guards everywhere.”
28. In a search and rescue operation, ______.
A. the survival rate drops to almost zero after six hours
B. the use of dynamics leads to the wrong location
C. weather conditions are a determining factor
D. changing currents present a challenge
29. What is the distinct feature of the new algorithm
A. It relies on ocean dynamics.
B. It tracks the path of the curves.
C. It stops the uncertainties of the accident.
D. It figures out how tides change over time.
30. What’s paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The collection of data.
B. The testing of the algorithm.
C. The identification of the TRAPs.
D. The cooperation of two research teams.
31. What is the best title for the passage
A. Why Success Rates of Rescue Operations Have Fallen
B. Why Algorithms Are Popular in Rescue Operations
C. How Mathematics Can Save Lives at Sea
D. How Coastal Waters Affect Saving Lives
D
It’s a question that has been asked for years: Is a dishwasher or washing dishes by hand greener Which uses less energy and water
A few years ago, the answer was that the dishwasher was better but a very careful hand-washer could probably use about the same amount of water and less energy. However, much has changed since then. Technology combined with good design has made the dishwasher greatly better over the years, to the point where there’s hardly a question. Studies are showing that modern dishwashers can save more water than most hand-washers.
Dishwashers are even more efficient. Modern dishwashers have pre-heaters that increase the water temperature up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit to sanitize (消毒) them. The dishwasher also has a timer that lets you set it to turn on at a later time when the power rates are lower.
On the other hand, none of the studies do an analysis of what it takes in terms of energy and water to actually build the dishwasher and replace it every 10 years or so. Nor does it take into account a Swedish study that found that children in families that wash dishes by hand are less likely to develop fever probably due to the “hygiene hypothesis (卫生假说)”, which says the reason why kids fall ill is that their surroundings are actually too clean. If you’re not willing to fill up the sinks, the researchers point out that maybe the dishwasher is one labor-saving machine that does a better job than you can especially if you value your time. The researchers write, “When a user’s time spent washing dishes is valued, machine dishwashers pay for themselves within a year of use.”
32. Why does the author raise two questions in the first paragraph
A. To express the author’s doubts.
B. To introduce the topic.
C. To show different ways to wash dishes.
D. To compare various ideas about dishwashers.
33. What is the advantage of the dishwasher
A. It is more environment-friendly.
B. It takes less time to wash the dishes.
C. It uses less water to wash the dishes.
D. It needs less hot water to sanitize the dishes.
34.What does the Swedish study find out about dishwashers
A. Their effect on kids’ health.
B. Their effect on water and energy saving.
C. Their help in keeping the environment healthy.
D. Their help in improving kids’ health condition.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Advantage Of The Dishwasher
B. How To Choose A Proper Way To Do The Dishes
C. The New Technology For Washing Dishes
D. How Dishwashers Benefit Our Lives

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Two summers ago, I decided to begin a weight loss journey but had no idea where to start. And now, two years later, I have yet again decided to start being healthy and I need some knowledge about what to do. Now, I want to share it with all of you.
The most important thing that I have come to realize is that you have to see this as a lifestyle change, not just a diet that can end or fail. 36 You will also feel less pressure if you eat a burger once in a while since you think you haven’t failed a diet and that you can always go twice as hard the next day.
37 It is calories in versus calories out if you put it in simple terms. If you want to lose weight, you must be eating in a way that your net gain of calories at the end of the day is negative.
38 It is better to eat healthy food with more calories than a low-cal pack of chips. Calorie counting can also become a bit unhealthy if not well controlled. So I recommend just eating well and controlling the amounts of food instead.
Exercise is also vital to a healthier life. Although cardio (健心运动) is known for its quick result, weights are also essential. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn. Therefore, people with more muscle mass are able to burn what they eat quicker, resulting in a greater calorie reduction. 39
Everyone has a different body and what I eat may actually be bad for your weight loss.
40 It may take time to find out what your body can handle and needs, but do not quit. Good luck and happy eating.
A. However, calories are not everything.
B. Moreover, weight loss is essentially just math.
C. Diets can help you lose some weight temporarily.
D. It is also just beneficial in life to be physically strong!
E. If you don’t, it is likely that the weight will come back.
F. So my tip here is to eat what makes you personally feel good.
G. Therefore, it is very important to calculate and control calories accurately.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Having taken part in the inter-school storytelling championship for the past two years, I was a shining star of my school. When it came to choosing the right candidate to participate in such competitions, I was always the first choice. Naturally, I was once again selected to represent my school in the approaching contest this year.
Upon hearing the fact that I was chosen again, my classmates and friends acknowledged that I would undoubtedly emerge as the champion again. Consequently, I became conceited (自负的). I was so proud that I neglected the importance of practicing for the contest.
A week before the contest, my teacher Ms. Sara asked, “Selena, would you like to stand in front of the class to rehearse for the contest ” She had tutored me in the past two competitions and knew how important practice was. “Just imagine you are on the stage in the presence of the audience,” she added.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Sara,” I replied. “I have a bit of a sore throat.”
This was usually the lie I would tell whenever my teacher requested me to practice in front of the class. I always found excuses to avoid doing it because I believed that I was the best and therefore the practice was unnecessary. On one occasion, I even told Ms. Sara not to worry too much as I was well prepared for the contest. In fact, I did everything but practice my script. I only managed to glance briefly through the story the day before the contest. As the best storyteller among the students of the local secondary schools, I was too vain to practice and expected everything to be fine.
The contest was being held in the local community hall. On the day of the contest, the hall was packed. My school teachers and principal were there along with many of my classmates and schoolmates. I was the eighth contestant out of twenty in total. Those who spoke before me did extremely well. On seeing their fascinating and outstanding performance, I began to lose confidence in myself. My palms sweated heavily and I started to feel nervous.

B篇
本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述的是75岁的Pat Ormond和孙女一起在同一所大学毕业，她们相互勉励，相互影响，堪称终身学习的典范。
24. D 细节理解题。由第一段中的“it looked different because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond”可知，与Melody一同毕业的还有她的75岁的祖母Pat Ormond，这使得她的毕业典礼显得特殊。
25. A 词义猜测题。由第四段UTC校长Steven R. Angle的话可知，学校因有像Melody Ormond和她的祖母这样的毕业生而感到自豪，她们体现了学校倡导每位UTC毕业生拥有的决心、投入和对终生学习的热爱。根据语境可知，personify与represent意思最为相近。
26. B 细节理解题。由第二段中的“her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree”及最后一段中的“But she says she’s in no rush. Her nana has taught her that she has plenty of time”可知，Pat的家庭成员之间相互支持，相互勉励。
27. C 推理判断题。通读全文可知，Pat Ormond 42年前上过一个学期的大学，然后就忙于养家糊口，退休后，在家人鼓励下重返大学，与孙女一起毕业，再结合文章中的“lifelong learning”“Learning never stops”可知，C项“活到老，学到老”最能形容Pat Ormond的故事。
C篇
本文主要介绍了George Haller带领的团队研发出了一种算法，利用这个算法能大大提高海上挽救生命的可能性。
28. D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Beyond tides and challenging weather conditions, unsteady coastal currents often make search and rescue operations extremely difficult”可知，除了潮汐和挑战性的天气状况外，不稳定的沿岸流经常使搜寻和营救行动变得极其困难。D选项“变化的水流是一项挑战”与文中信息句意义一致，故选D项。
29. B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“These curves... can be tracked from instant ocean surface current data using... This enables quick and precise planning of search paths”可知，这些曲线不能被眼睛看到，但是通过使用由ETH团队研发的算法，能根据海洋表面的实时水流数据追踪到这些曲线，这可以快速和精确地规划搜索路径，即新算法的显著特征是它能够追踪到曲线的路径，故选B项。
30. B 段落大意题。通读第五段可知，段落首句为该段的主旨句，介绍ETH团队与麻省理工学院的一个团队合作，在美国东北部海岸玛莎葡萄园附近的两个独立的海洋实验中测试了他们基于TRAPs的新搜索算法。接下来详细介绍他们开展测试的过程和发现，最后证明这是唯一能够找到正确位置的算法。结合选项内容，该段主要介绍科学团队对新研发的算法的测试，故选B项。
31. C 标题归纳题。梳理全文脉络，第一段介绍了研究的背景：搜寻和营救落水人员困难重重，极具挑战；第二段介绍了科研小组研发的新算法可以预测落水者的位置，从而极大提高搜救的速度和精准度；之后的段落则详细介绍了新算法的检测和运用。综上分析，文章主要介绍了如何使用数学方法在海上挽救生命，故选C项。
D篇
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了使用洗碗机的优缺点，最后给出结论：如果用户花在洗碗上的时间是有价值的，洗碗机在使用一年内就能收回成本。
32. B 写作意图题。通读第二段可知，该段介绍了随着科技的发展，现代洗碗机洗碗比大部分人用手洗碗更加省水。第一段的两个问题引出了比较对象；由此可推知，作者在第一段提出这两个问题是为了引出文章的话题。
33. C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Studies are showing that modern dishwashers can save more water than most hand washers”可知，现代洗碗机洗碗比大部分人用手洗碗更加省水。
34. A 推理判断题。根据题干中的“the Swedish study”可以定位至第四段中的“children in families that wash dishes by hand are less likely to develop fever . . . actually too clean”，由此可知，用手洗碗的家庭的孩子发烧的可能性更低，因为环境太干净也会让孩子生病，也就是说这项研究的发现是有关洗碗机对孩子健康的影响的。
35. B 标题归纳题。文章第一段利用两个问题引出话题：用洗碗机还是用手洗碗更环保；第二、三段分析了用洗碗机洗碗的好处，如省水、高效等；第四段提到了用洗碗机洗碗的弊端，如可能会导致孩子生病，最后通过研究人员的话得出结论：如果用户花在洗碗上的时间是有价值的，洗碗机在使用一年内就能收回成本，故B项“如何选择合适的洗碗方式”为最佳标题。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文，文中作者为减肥人士提出了几点建议。
36. E E选项中的“If you don’t”是“If you don’t see this as a lifestyle change”的省略形式，而“it is likely that the weight will come back”是“If you don’t see this as a lifestyle change”带来的结果。
37. B B选项中的“essentially just math”与“calories in versus calories out”以及“your net gain of calories at the end of the day is negative”相吻合。减肥不过是人体热量摄入／消耗的计算问题，也就是“数学”问题。
38. A 空前的句子强调了calories的重要性，而A项正好与前边的内容形成转折关系；空后的句子又承接A项而来，故A项放在此处起到了承上启下的作用。
39. D D项中的“to be physically strong”与段落中的“The more muscle you have”以及“with more muscle mass”相照应，故本空填D项。
40. F “Everyone has a different body and what I eat may actually be bad for your weight loss”与F选项“So my tip here is to eat what makes you personally feel good”为因果关系，故本空填F项。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己的经历告诉读者，每个人的不同之处都应受到尊重。
41. D 结合下文内容可知，作者认为世界上如果每个人都一样，那么这个世界一定极无聊。complex复杂的；harmonious和谐的；fantastic极好的。
42. C 根据“ 23 are important and they should be respected”和文章最后一句中的“because I believe people should be respected for being different”可知，作者认为人应该重别人的不同，即应该接受别人的本来面目。
43. B 根据前文中的“I believe it’s important to 22 people for who they are”可知，接受别人的本来面目很重要，此处是说那么人的个体差异就应该受到尊重。effort努力；belief信念。
44. D 根据表转折的连词but可知，前后分句存在转折关系，前一分句提到历史上有很多人都做了伟大的事情，像爱因斯坦和爱迪生，由此可推知，后一分句应表示“但被认为是奇怪的”。declare声明。
45. A 根据下文中的“because I’ve been in that situation before”可知，因为作者以前也经历过这样的情况，所以作者可以理解这些人。relate符合语境。
46. B 根据下文中的“I grew crazy about certain subjects. 27 , these subjects didn’t interest other kids and my teachers”可知，作者对某些科目越来越着迷，其他学生和老师对这些科目并不感兴趣，这表明作者应该是意识到自己跟别人不一样了。
47. D “I grew crazy about certain subjects”与“these subjects didn’t interest other kids and my teachers”形成了鲜明对比，再结合选项可知，应用unfortunately“不幸地，遗憾地，可惜地”衔接。thankfully幸亏，高兴地；impossibly不可能地；apparently显然。
48. C 下文“my kindergarten teacher said she would seream at me if I 29 snakes or mice one more time”是对上文作者对某些科目感兴趣的具体解释，是在陈述一个事实。by accident意外地；in return作为回应；in fact确切地说，事实上；at most最多。
49. A 根据空后的宾语“snakes or mice one more time”可知，老师不希望听到作者提及蛇或者老鼠之类的东西，这进一步印证了上文提到的作者感兴趣的科目，其他学生和老师并不感兴趣这一事实。mention提及；attack攻击；count计算（或清点）总数。
50. B 根据上文中的“I 29 snakes and mice one more time while she was teaching the day of the week”可知，作者在老师教星期时提蛇和老鼠，故可推知作者会因为无法集中注意力而惹上麻烦，进而遭到其他孩子的嘲笑。attract吸引；escape逃避。
51. D 根据上文中的“these subjects didn’t interest other kids and my teachers”可知，作者喜欢的学科其他学生和老师并不感兴趣，表明作者和其他青少年的兴趣是不同的。
52. A 根据上文中的“she would scream at me if I 29 snakes or mice one more time”和“other kids began to laugh at me”可知，老师的大吼，其他孩子的嘲笑，这些都是刻薄的具体表现。sensitive敏感的；mean刻薄的；attentive专心的；blind盲目的。
53. C 空后的“facts about volcanoes, whales, and many other scientific things”是作者知道或了解的事实。作者还因为了解火山、鲸鱼和许多其他科学事物的事实而被取笑，这再一次印证了32题的选项。
54. A 前一句讲母亲说，仅仅通过听作者讲，她就能见多识广，然后用but引出“其实我会因聪明而被误解”这一事实。evaluate评估；tolerate容忍。部分考生只根据空后的smart主观臆断，认为聪明的程度应该检验，将智力与测试主观地联系到一起。
55. D 根据含虚拟语气的“I wish I were like everyone else”可知，空前是说作者希望自己和其他人一样，而空后提到“因为我相信人们应该因为与众不同而受到尊重，我们都有自己的不同之处”，故推知此处是说“但并不是那么希望”。clearly明显地；eagerly渴望地；seriously认真地。
第二节
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要记述了贵州省的麻料村在政府的帮助下成立银饰工坊，发扬苗族银饰，摆脱贫困的故事。
56. an 考查冠词。live a(n) ... life意为“过着一种……生活”，为固定搭配；abundant的发音以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词an。
57. was listed 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：事实上，苗族银饰在2006年被列为国家非物质文化遗产。根据时间状语in 2006可知，此处应用一般过去时；又因主语Miao silver jewellery与list之间为被动关系，故应用被动语态。主语为单数，故谓语也用单数形式。
58. ruling 考查非谓语动词。句意：但是随着机器生产的更便宜的小首饰占领了市场，他们不能靠这项古老的技艺生存。本句中已有谓语，故空处为非谓语动词；此处为with复合结构“with + n./ pron. + 分词（短语）”作伴随状语；trinkets与rule之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词。
59. which 考查定语从句。句意：那时，村子里的大部分人生活贫困，这就意味着他们只能负担得起食物和基本的衣服，但很少买像自行车和电视这样的东西。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限定性定语从句，指代前面的主句，故填which。
60. basic 考查形容词。句意参见上题解析。空处修饰名词clothing，应用形容词basic,意为“基本的”。
61. hopelessly 考查副词。分析句子成分可知，空处修饰前面的动词left，应用副词hopelessly。
62. with 考查介词。句意：但是在2019年，政府拨出58万元扶贫资金，成立麻料村银饰工坊，帮助麻料村村民用自己的手艺对抗贫困。此处with意为“用”。
63. have returned 考查时和主谓一致。根据时间状语Since that year可知，此处用现在完成时；又因句子主语中心词为复数名词craftsmen，故谓语动词也应该用复数形式。
64. latest 考查形容词最高级。句意：在政府工坊的帮助之下，他们学习最新的潮流趋势和如何迎合客户的各种需求。根据句意及下文中的“Instead of holding on to old ideas and existing design”可知，此处表示“最新的潮流趋势”，故用latest。
65. requests 考查名词。根据空前的形容词various“各种各样的”可知，空处应用名词的复数形式。

第一节 应用文写作
参考范文：
The Bittersweet Moments
How time flies! I’m now in Senior Three. Looking back on the senior school life, I have experienced bittersweet moments.
When I was in Senior One, I was poor at spoken English and afraid of speaking in front of people. In order to improve my English and overcome my shyness, I signed up for an English speech contest. I spent all spare time practicing English and gathered my courage to speak in public. Sometimes I felt so miserable that I wanted to give up, but my parents encouraged me to hold on. Hard work paid off. I won first place in the final, which brightened my heart.
I realize that nothing is impossible in life. Stick to it and you will succeed one day.

参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
Soon, it was my turn to talk. Facing the crowd, I found myself suffering from stage fright. I spoke in a nervous voice and even stuttered a few times as I forgot parts of the story. My legs trembled and so did my voice. Seeing my terrible performance, the judges shook their heads. The supporters from my school looked at me in disappointment. I had never been so embarrassed in my life. In the end, I walked off the stage, with all tears in my eyes.
Paragraph 2:
Finally, results were announced after the contest. I did not win any prizes, which was not surprising at all. I felt ashamed when I faced my classmates and Ms. Sara. I regretted underestimating my opponents and overestimating myself. My vanity had cost me the championship. I regretted being so arrogant. I had learned my lesson well and finally understood the meaning of the saying, “Modesty helps one to make progress, but conceit makes one lag behind.”

M: I think your mom is a little too selfish! Plus, I don’t really think “Betty Bettson” sounds like a name I’d want to have. (13)
W: OK. I just had to ask. I didn’t like the idea much, either. I really love the name Laura, though.
M: That’s nice. But I think we should give her a really strong name so she’s tough. (14) How about Helga or Josephine
W: Those names make me think of unattractive women! Helga sounds like a lady who could carry me under her arm!
M: That’s the idea! I don’t want anyone thinking they can mess with my daughter. I want her to be able to stand up to people, especially any boys who might try to look at her.
W: I don’t think a name has that much power, dear. (15)
M: OK. I see your point. I’ll just have to take care of the boys myself. I know this baby is going to be beautiful!
W: That’s right. Let’s not give her an ugly name! How about something more elegant, like Victoria (16)
M: I like that! (16)
Text 10
Nicholas Sparks is an American author and storyteller whose books have consistently been turned into major Hollywood films. Although not all of his books were sold to Hollywood, all have been The New York Times best-sellers. He has sold over 97 million copies worldwide, (17) with over 65 million of them within the United States alone. He lives with his family in North Carolina. He is also considered to be very generous with his money. In 2011, he created the Nicholas Sparks Foundation to make more opportunities available to children from poor families. He said, “Education is the gift that changed my life.” (20) His foundation, which he started with his wife, creates scholarships for children from low-income families in rural communities. (18) He and his wife also founded the Epiphany School in New Bern, North Carolina. (19) The school’s main goal is to help students practice the values of respect, responsibility, service, and honesty on a daily basis. Sparks has had a very successful career, and he owes that to education. “The education I received growing up prepared me for the world I’d be facing in the future,” the author said. Even though he is worth an estimated 75 million dollars or so, Sparks seems to live the values he presents in his books and films.
