It was the phone number, 212-263-8134, at which people can contact the NYU Langone Transplant Institute to begin the process of register to donate a kidney (肾) or part of a liver.
If the right person begins the process, gets through the screening and donates, McCabe will likely live. If that never happens, he’ll probably die. Though knowing I’m probably not his answer, I called and started the screening process. I’ll happily donate a kidney to McCabe or anyone else in similar need if approved.
My organs are well-rested, and have legendary resumes, but they have high miles, too. For the 20 years before I quit drinking in 2003, my liver (肝) and kidneys processed liquor (酒) like Amazon ships books: efficiently, at high volume, with little concern for the broader consequences.
When I called Patricia Tabamo, the living donor coordinator at NYU Langone Health. She emailed paperwork which I was able to complete by auto-filling “yes” under family history for any known disease. Tabamo answered my many questions. There are about 107, 000 people waiting for transplants, and according to Tabamo, about one-fifth of the people who approach her office about donating are approved.
Such donations are not entirely without risk. But 10 years after surgery, a liver or kidney donor is 15% less likely to have died in that decade than the general population. If you give part of your liver, it grows back in eight weeks. If you give one of your two healthy kidneys, you’re unlikely to ever miss it.
However, if enough of us agree to donate organs, we could save the vast majority of the 107,000 candidates, including McCabe.
4. Who is McCabe
A. A patient requiring organ transplantation.
B. A friend knowing much about the author.
C. A colleague working with Tabamo.
D. A professor working in the NYU Langone Health.
5. What can we know about the author
A. He had to make a replacement liver.
B. He drank too much before 2003.
C. He has ever worked in Amazon.
D. He was told to wait for the donator.
6. What does the author think of organ donations
A. They are valueless but supported by the majority.
B. They are not completely safe for donators.
C. They are unbearable for donators.
D. They are fascinating to donators.
7. What’s the author’s main purpose of writing the text
A. To inspire people to donate organs.
B. To urge people to do some exercise.
C. To encourage people to quit drinking.
D. To tell people the risk of organ donations.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了,作者用自己登记器官捐赠经历,呼吁大家捐赠器官帮助有需要的人。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段中的“I’ll happily donate a kidney to McCabe or anyone else in similar need if approved. (如果得到批准,我会很高兴地把一个肾脏捐给McCabe或其他有类似需要的人)”可知,如果作者器官捐赠得到批准,McCabe可能会得到一个肾脏,可得出McCabe是一个需要器官移植的患者。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“For the 20 years before I quit drinking in 2003, my liver (肝) and kidneys processed liquor (酒) like Amazon ships books: efficiently, at high volume, with little concern for the broader consequences. (在我2003年戒酒之前的20年里,我的肝脏和肾脏像亚马逊运送图书一样处理酒类:高效、高容量,几乎不担心更广泛的后果)”可知,作者2003年戒酒前,喝了很多年的酒、喝的也多。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“Such donations are not entirely without risk. (这种捐赠并非完全没有风险)”可知,器官捐赠对捐赠者来说并不完全安全。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段中的“I’ll happily donate a kidney to McCabe or anyone else in similar need if approved. (如果得到批准,我会很高兴地把一个肾脏捐给McCabe或其他有类似需要的人)”和最后一段“However, if enough of us agree to donate organs, we could save the vast majority of the 107,000 candidates, including McCabe. (然而,如果我们中有足够多的人同意捐赠器官,我们就可以拯救107000名候选人中的绝大多数,包括McCabe)”可知,作者用自己登记器官捐赠的经历,呼吁大家捐赠器官帮助有需要的人,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是鼓励人们捐献器官。故选A项。

Maine’s wild blueberry (蓝莓) fields are home to one of the most important fruit crops in the northeastern United States. But scientists working with the University of Maine have found they are warming at a faster rate than the rest of the state. The researchers say the blueberries may be at risk because the rising temperatures have brought a loss of water. The scientists studied 40 years of data and found that the state experienced a 1.1 ℃ increase in average temperature. But the blueberry fields experienced an increase of 1.3 ℃.
Rafa Tasnim is an ecology and environmental science student at the University of Maine and the study’s lead writer. She says the lack of water caused by the temperature difference can result in smaller crop sizes and she is afraid that the blueberries are less likely to survive. “What we are expecting is that the temperature is going to increase a lot and we will not get as much rainfall in the summertime especially,” said Tasnim.
Maine is home to the only for-profit producers of wild blueberries in the US. The blueberries are smaller and have a slightly different flavor than other kinds of blueberries. Most of the crop is used to supply frozen fruit. Maine growers compete with those in eastern Canada which also produce the fruit.
The wild blueberry industry in Maine has been affected in recent years by environmental change, as well as the lack of water last year. Farmers produced 21.5 million kilograms of Maine wild blueberries last year. That has been the lowest number since 2004. The researchers have found that the wild blueberry growers need to change their planting and watering methods and fertilizer use to prepare for future climate change.
8. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. The blueberry fields. B. States.
C. The fruit crops. D. Experiences.
9. How does Tasnim feel about the blueberry production in Maine
A. Puzzled. B. Confident. C. Anxious. D. Curious.
10. What do the researchers expect the blueberry growers to do
A. Stop using fertilizers.
B. Supply frozen blueberries.
C. Take corresponding measures in advance.
D. Change the blueberries’ flavor.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Heavy Rainfall Threatens Wild Blueberries
B. Climate Change Affects Maine’s Blueberry Crops
C. Blueberries Are Badly in Need of Protection
D. US Blueberry Growers Face Competition from Canada
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】

Internet security researchers say they have looked at and identified software weakness that puts millions of smart devices we use at risk of attacks and the Internet security weakness can be used to attack business or home computer networks. The report says many devices are designed for personal use and include the ability to control home cameras and temperature from a panies use similar devices in security systems, heating and cooling equipment, printers and servers.
There is no evidence that any attacks have already been carried out on the defenceless devices. However, the findings have led the officials to give a warning to the users and suggest to them that defensive measures should be taken to lessen the risks of attacks. Specifically, the officials say industrial control systems shouldn’t be accessible from the Internet and should be separated from company networks.
Awais Rashid is a computer scientist who has examined the findings. He says that the discovery shows the dangers experts often find in Internet-linked devices designed without much attention to security. He adds inattentive programming by developers appears to be the main issue in this case. Dealing with the problem is especially complex because the weaknesses are found in so-called open-source software, which is free to use and can be changed by anyone. According to Elisa, vice president of research, the fact that open-source software is not owned by anyone makes the problem difficult to solve but the problem should be tackled with an effort. This means it is up to device manufacturers to fix the weaknesses themselves and some may not have the time or money to do so.
Experts say the risks are even higher with so many people working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. This could permit attackers to hack into home networks and use this as a pathway into company networks.
12. What is the researchers’ attitude towards the Internet security weakness
A. Tolerant. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Uncaring.
13. How do the officials deal with the problem of Internet security
A. By giving some advice to the Internet users.
B. By helping online users upgrade software.
C. By linking industrial control systems to company networks.
D. By warning Internet operators to lessen the risks of attacks.
14. What does Elisa think of solving the problem of Internet security
A. Complex and impossible.
B. Challenging but necessary.
C. Effortless and worthwhile.
D. Potential but unimportant.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To advocate using defensive devices.
B. To urge us to stay away from the Internet.
C. To separate home networks from company networks.
D. To introduce the potential risk of smart devices.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍因为互联网安全漏洞,智能设备存在潜在风险。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Internet security researchers say they have looked at and identified software weakness that puts millions of smart devices we use at risk of attacks and the Internet security weakness can be used to attack business or home computer networks.(互联网安全研究人员表示,他们已经研究并发现了软件漏洞,这些漏洞使我们使用的数百万智能设备面临攻击风险,互联网安全漏洞可用于攻击商业或家庭计算机网络)”可推知,研究人员对网络安全弱点的态度是令人担忧的。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, the findings have led the officials to give a warning to the users and suggest to them that defensive measures should be taken to lessen the risks of attacks.(然而,这些发现使得官员们向用户发出了警告,并建议他们应该采取防御措施来降低被攻击的风险)”可知,官员通过给互联网用户一些建议处理网络安全问题。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“According to Elisa, vice president of research, the fact that open-source software is not owned by anyone makes the problem difficult to solve but the problem should be tackled with an effort.(据研究部副总裁Elisa说,开源软件并不属于任何人,这一事实使得问题难以解决,但这个问题应该通过努力来解决)”可知,Elisa认为解决网络安全问题是有挑战性的,但也是必要的。故选B。

People spend too much time and effort trying to control anxiety these days. Here are some things you can do to help minimize anxiety’s negative effects.
____16____ If you treat anxiety as part of life and part of everyone’s living experience, you can learn to relate it with self-compassion and even with humor. This is a cornerstone of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which has been gaining clinical validation.
ACT guides people to see their unpleasant emotions as just feelings and accept that parts of life are hard. Doctors encourage patients to begin a dialogue with anxious thoughts. ____17____ Meanwhile, they also keep in mind patients’ personal goals and values. Although anxious thoughts shouldn’t be completely controlled, sufferers can be trained not to allow anxiety to turn them away from what they want to do and who they want to be.
Make lifestyle adjustments. ____18____ This requires trial and error to get just right. While acceptance is the first and most important step, some lifestyle changes have been proved to take the edge off as well.
Work out regularly. When tiredness and stress leave you more exposed to anxiety, a well-balanced diet and adequate rest are helpful. ____19____ One research study shows that regular vigorous workouts reduce the likelihood of developing an anxiety disorder over the next five years by 25 percent.
As a specialist, Arthur also shares her experiences on the website, openly discussing her anxiety has transformed her relationship with it. “I’m learning to live in harmony, as much as possible, with this thing that is part of me,” she says. “It’s not always pleasant, but I accept it. ____20____”
A. Accept it.
B. Develop a sense of humor.
C. I may be more anxious in the future.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
I took a trip to visit New York with my dad after graduating from high school. One of the places on his list for us to visit was a “rare violin shop” since I played the violin all four years and participated in the honor orchestra as well. We made our way down the crowded streets and eventually stopped in front of a tall building.
This building was not what I pictured when I heard “rare violin shop”. I’d been imagining a street-level shop, open to the public, with some interesting and old violins on display, maybe with a luthier (制琴师) in the back. As we walked inside, took the elevator to the sixth floor, and stood in front of an apartment, I knew something felt off. I voiced my concern to my dad as he rang the doorbell but was ignored. My dad had never been great at interpreting social standards.
We were greeted by a receptionist who asked if we had an appointment, since they were by appointment only. I wanted the ground to swallow me whole and I was instantly aware of the sweaty, summer tourist clothes we had on. My dad eagerly told them that no, we didn’t but, “my daughter plays the violin with her high school orchestra and isn’t that great And we would love to just go inside and browse! Don’t mind us!”
The receptionist gave him a strange look but took it in stride (泰然处之) and excused herself to talk to someone behind a door. She came back with the owner, a well-dressed man, who told us that since he had no other appointments right now, he would love to give us a tour!
The starting price for a violin here, we found out, was very high. He showed us around a very private-feeling and swanky (时髦且豪华的)-looking apartment, pointed out a room where he casually mentioned he would chat with Joshua Bell when he came by, and opened the most interesting two-person safe I’ve ever seen to show me several multi-million-dollar violins.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He asked me questions about my orchestra and what pieces I liked to play as well.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I don’t remember his name at this point, but I am very grateful to him.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
He asked me questions about my orchestra and what pieces I liked to play as well. The owner picked up a lower-end, but still worth at least a million dollars’ violin and asked me to have a try while he held it. I very carefully played it. Having enjoyed my performance, he proudly said, “Wonderful! You have such a great gift for it. I hope you can stick to your dream and become a famous violinist in the future.” I listened to his words with a smile, moving tears rolled down my cheeks.
I don’t remember his name at this point, but I am very grateful to him. I’m so glad that he ignored my dad’s bad manners and lack of social awareness and decided to take the time out of his occupied day to show a non-customer without appointment around. His warm behavior inspired me to continue loving and pursuing my instrument after high school! I still play the violin to this day, and I’ve picked up some other instruments along the way, too. I will never forget the violin shop’s owner.

It was the phone number, 212-263-8134, at which people can contact the NYU Langone Transplant Institute to begin the process of register to donate a kidney (肾) or part of a liver.
If the right person begins the process gets through the screening and donates, McCabe will likely live. If that never happens, he’ll probably die. Though knowing I’m probably not his answer, I called and started the screening process. I’ll happily donate a kidney to McCabe or anyone else in similar need if approved.
My organs are well-rested, and have legendary resumes, but they have high miles, too. For the 20 years before I quit drinking in 2003, my liver (肝) and kidneys processed liquor (酒) like Amazon ships books: efficiently, at high volume, with little concern for the broader consequences.
When I called Patricia Tabamo, the living donor coordinator at NYU Langone Health. She emailed paperwork which I was able to complete by auto-filling “yes” under family history for any known disease. Tabamo answered my many questions. There are about 107, 000 people waiting for transplants, and according to Tabamo, about one-fifth of the people who approach her office about donating are approved.
Such donations are not entirely without risk. But 10 years after surgery, a liver or kidney donor is 15% less likely to have died in that decade than the general population. If you give part of your liver, it grows back in eight weeks. If you give one of your two healthy kidneys, you’re unlikely to ever miss it.
However if enough of us agree to donate organs, we could save the vast majority of the 107,000 candidates, including McCabe.
4. Who is McCabe
A. A patient requiring organ transplantation.
B. A friend knowing much about the author.
C. A colleague working with Tabamo.
D A professor working in the NYU Langone Health.
5. What can we know about the author
A. He had to make a replacement liver.
B. He drank too much before 2003.
C. He has ever worked in Amazon.
D. He was told to wait for the donator.
6. What does the author think of organ donations
A. They are valueless but supported by the majority.
B. They are not completely safe for donators.
C. They are unbearable for donators.
D. They are fascinating to donators.
7. What’s the author’s main purpose of writing the text
A. To inspire people to donate organs.
B. To urge people to do some exercise.
C. To encourage people to quit drinking.
D. To tell people the risk of organ donations.

Maine’s wild blueberry (蓝莓) fields are home to one of the most important fruit crops in the northeastern United States. But scientists working with the University of Maine have found they are warming at a faster rate than the rest of the state. The researchers say the blueberries may be at risk because the rising temperatures have brought a loss of water. The scientists studied 40 years of data and found that the state experienced a 1.1 ℃ increase in average temperature. But the blueberry fields experienced an increase of 1.3 ℃.
Rafa Tasnim is an ecology and environmental science student at the University of Maine and the study’s lead writer. She says the lack of water caused by the temperature difference can result in smaller crop sizes and she is afraid that the blueberries are less likely to survive. “What we are expecting is that the temperature is going to increase a lot and we will not get as much rainfall in the summertime especially,” said Tasnim.
Maine is home to the only for-profit producers of wild blueberries in the US. The blueberries are smaller and have a slightly different flavor than other kinds of blueberries. Most of the crop is used to supply frozen fruit. Maine growers compete with those in eastern Canada which also produce the fruit.
The wild blueberry industry in Maine has been affected in recent years by environmental change, as well as the lack of water last year. Farmers produced 21.5 million kilograms of Maine wild blueberries last year. That has been the lowest number since 2004. The researchers have found that the wild blueberry growers need to change their planting and watering methods and fertilizer use to prepare for future climate change.
8. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. The blueberry fields. B. States.
C. The fruit crops. D. Experiences.
9. How does Tasnim feel about the blueberry production in Maine
A. Puzzled. B. Confident. C. Anxious. D. Curious.
10. What do the researchers expect the blueberry growers to do
A. Stop using fertilizers.
B. Supply frozen blueberries.
C. Take corresponding measures in advance.
D. Change the blueberries’ flavor.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Heavy Rainfall Threatens Wild Blueberries
B. Climate Change Affects Maine’s Blueberry Crops
C. Blueberries Are Badly in Need of Protection
D. US Blueberry Growers Face Competition from Canada
D

There is no evidence that any attacks have already been carried out on the defenceless devices. However, the findings have led the officials to give a warning to the users and suggest to them that defensive measures should be taken to lessen the risks of attacks. Specifically, the officials say industrial control systems shouldn’t be accessible from the Internet and should be separated from company networks.
Awais Rashid is a computer scientist who has examined the findings. He says that the discovery shows the dangers experts often find in Internet-linked devices designed without much attention to security. He adds inattentive programming by developers appears to be the main issue in this case. Dealing with the problem is especially complex because the weaknesses are found in so-called open-source software, which is free to use and can be changed by anyone. According to Elisa, vice president of research, the fact that open-source software is not owned by anyone makes the problem difficult to solve but the problem should be tackled with an effort. This means it is up to device manufacturers to fix the weaknesses themselves and some may not have the time or money to do so.
Experts say the risks are even higher with so many people working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. This could permit attackers to hack into home networks and use this as a pathway into company networks.
12. What is the researchers’ attitude towards the Internet security weakness
A. Tolerant. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Uncaring.
13. How do the officials deal with the problem of Internet security
A. By giving some advice to the Internet users.
B. By helping online users upgrade software.
C. By linking industrial control systems to company networks.
D. By warning Internet operators to lessen the risks of attacks.
14. What does Elisa think of solving the problem of Internet security
A. Complex and impossible.
B. Challenging but necessary.
C. Effortless and worthwhile.
D. Potential but unimportant.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To advocate using defensive devices.
B. To urge us to stay away from the Internet.
C. To separate home networks from company networks.
D. To introduce the potential risk of smart devices.

People spend too much time and effort trying to control anxiety these days. Here are some things you can do to help minimize anxiety’s negative effects.
____16____ If you treat anxiety as part of life and part of everyone’s living experience, you can learn to relate it with self-compassion and even with humor. This is a cornerstone of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which has been gaining clinical validation.
ACT guides people to see their unpleasant emotions as just feelings and accept that parts of life are hard. Doctors encourage patients to begin a dialogue with anxious thoughts. ____17____ Meanwhile, they also keep in mind patients’ personal goals and values. Although anxious thoughts shouldn’t be completely controlled, sufferers can be trained not to allow anxiety to turn them away from what they want to do and who they want to be.
Make lifestyle adjustments. ____18____ This requires trial and error to get just right. While acceptance is the first and most important step, some lifestyle changes have been proved to take the edge off as well.
Work out regularly. When tiredness and stress leave you more exposed to anxiety, a well-balanced diet and adequate rest are helpful. ____19____ One research study shows that regular vigorous workouts reduce the likelihood of developing an anxiety disorder over the next five years by 25 percent.
As a specialist, Arthur also shares her experiences on the website, openly discussing her anxiety has transformed her relationship with it. “I’m learning to live in harmony, as much as possible, with this thing that is part of me,” she says. “It’s not always pleasant, but I accept it. ____20____”

47. 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。
I took a trip to visit New York with my dad after graduating from high school. One of the places on his list for us to visit was a “rare violin shop” since I played the violin all four years and participated in the honor orchestra as well. We made our way down the crowded streets and eventually stopped in front of a tall building.
This building was not what I pictured when I heard “rare violin shop”. I’d been imagining a street-level shop, open to the public, with some interesting and old violins on display, maybe with a luthier (制琴师) in the back. As we walked inside, took the elevator to the sixth floor, and stood in front of an apartment, I knew something felt off. I voiced my concern to my dad as he rang the doorbell but was ignored. My dad had never been great at interpreting social standards.
We were greeted by a receptionist who asked if we had an appointment, since they were by appointment only. I wanted the ground to swallow me whole and I was instantly aware of the sweaty, summer tourist clothes we had on. My dad eagerly told them that no, we didn’t but, “my daughter plays the violin with her high school orchestra and isn’t that great And we would love to just go inside and browse! Don’t mind us!”
The receptionist gave him a strange look but took it in stride (泰然处之) and excused herself to talk to someone behind a door. She came back with the owner, a well-dressed man, who told us that since he had no other appointments right now, he would love to give us a tour!
The starting price for a violin here, we found out, was very high. He showed us around a very private-feeling and swanky (时髦且豪华的)-looking apartment, pointed out a room where he casually mentioned he would chat with Joshua Bell when he came by, and opened the most interesting two-person safe I’ve ever seen to show me several multi-million-dollar violins.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He asked me questions about my orchestra and what pieces I liked to play as well.
