B
Huang Danian, the well-known Chinese geophysicist, was born in 1958 in Guangxi, China. As a keen and able student, Huang went to the UK in 1993 to further his studies.
By the time Huang moved back to China in 2008, he had been living and working in the UK for 15 years. He had a good job and a life there, but he gave it all up to return to home driven by the idea that he needed to contribute to his country. As one of the world’s leading experts in deep earth exploration technology, Huang was invited to participate in the “Thousand Talent” programme. He took up a position at Jilin University, Changchun.
Huang was named lead scientist on China’s deep earth exploration programme, developing advanced cameras that can see through the Earth’s crust(外壳) so that it can be analysed without having to dig into it. He set up an advanced lab, sometimes paying for equipment with his own money. Some described him as a “lunatic” (a “madman”), but this passion and drive enabled Huang to push forwards China’s deep earth exploration technology into a world-leading position. Huang’s devotion contributed to China’s lunar probe(月球探测器) Yutu being landed on the moon in 2013 and the launch of the spacecrafts Shenzhou-11 and Tiangong-2 in 2016.
Huang's health also paid the price for his commitment to his work. He began having fainting fits(昏厥) in 2012, but paid them little attention, stating he did not have time to go to see a doctor— his work always came first. In November 2016, Huang fainted and was taken to hospital, where he was diagnosed with cancer. The disease was so advanced that he had just a couple of months to live.
Like the true scientist he was, Huang never gave up, but always tried to push forwards. Even from his hospital bed, he continued his work, writing letters of reference for his colleagues and replying to questions from his students. Huang died in January 2017, aged just 58. More than 800 people attended his funeral to celebrate a life that burned so bright, but was so short.
17. Huang returned to China in 2008 because________.
A. he desired to devote himself to his motherland
B. the “Thousand Talent” program attracted him
C. Jilin University offered him a top position
D. he wasn’t satisfied with the life in the UK
18. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. China’s aerospace development.
B. Huang’s working attitude and style.
C. Huang’s great contributions to China.
D. China’s deep earth exploration technology.
19. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. The working environment caused Huang’s disease.
B. Huang worked continuously despite his poor health.
C. Huang was taken to hospital after he fainted in 2012.
D. A large sum of money was paid to treat Huang’s illness.
20. Which of the following can be used to describe Huang Danian
A. Generous and honest.
B. Passionate and patient.
C. Modest and courageous.
D. Patriotic and committed.
【答案】17. A 18. C 19. B 20. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。介绍了中国著名地球物理学家黄大年的生平及他为祖国做出的贡献。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“He had a good job and a life there, but he gave it all up to return to home driven by the idea that he needed to contribute to his country.（他在那里有一份很好的工作和生活，但他放弃了一切回到了家乡，他的想法是他需要为他的国家做贡献。）”可知，黄大年从英国回到祖国是渴望为国家的发展贡献自己的力量。故选A项。
【18题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段末句“Huang’s devotion contributed to China’s lunar probe(月球探测器) Yutu being landed on the moon in 2013 and the launch of the spacecrafts Shenzhou-11 and Tiangong-2 in 2016.（黄大年的贡献包括2013年中国的月球探测器“玉兔”登陆月球，以及2016年神舟十一号和天宫二号飞船的发射。）”并结合全段内容可知，他开发的先进相机可以穿透地壳，这样就可以在不深入地壳的情况下进行分析。他建立了一个先进的实验室，正是这种激情和动力使黄大年把中国的深地探测技术推向了世界领先的地位。所以第三段主要讲述黄大年对中国做出的巨大贡献。故选C项。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。由倒数第二段“He began having fainting fits(昏厥) in 2012, but paid them little attention, stating he did not have time to go to see a doctor— his work always came first.（在2012年他开始有晕厥发作，但很少注意，说他没有时间去看医生——他的工作总是第一位的。）”及最后一段“Even from his hospital bed, he continued his work, writing letters of reference for his colleagues and replying to questions from his students.（即使躺在病床上，他也继续工作，为同事们写推荐信，回答学生们的问题。）”可知，他虽然患病晕厥住院但仍坚持工作。故选B项。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“He had a good job and a life there, but he gave it all up to return to home driven by the idea that he needed to contribute to his country. As one of the world’s leading experts in deep earth exploration technology, Huang was invited to participate in the “Thousand Talent” programme. （他在那里有一份很好的工作和生活，但他放弃了一切回到了家乡，他的想法是他需要为他的国家做贡献。）”可知，黄大年放弃英国的优厚待遇回国为祖国发展尽力，他是爱国的。综合最后两段，他患重病仍坚持工作，教导学生，可知他是敬业的。D项Patriotic（爱国的）committed（敬业的，尽心尽力的）非常准确地形容黄大年。故选D项。
C
Improve Cloud Security
Sensitive customer data has constantly been found exposed on cloud servers without password protection. To ease the problem, database software makers have been trying to make security easier for cloud database managers. At the Enigma Conference in San Francisco, Kenn White, a security manager at database software maker MongoDB, will describe a new technique, called field level encryption, to make data safer on the cloud.
Field level encryption works by scrambling data before it’s sent to a cloud database and rearranging it in order when the data is needed for use. The promise of the product is to protect the contents of a cloud database, even if bad guys access it.
MongoDB’s new feature comes as more and more companies move user data to cloud servers, rather than run their own costly data centers. It was predicted that cloud computing would be a $214 billion industry by the end of 2019. That would be up more than 17% from 2018, when it was $182 billion.
Companies have rushed to the cloud without understanding all of the possible security consequences. Many companies have left countless databases exposed, revealing personal data. A database containing details about who lives in 80 million US households was left unprotected in 2019, just like the data on Facebook users.
Database managers want to store their data in an unreadable form, but they also want to be able to find specific pieces of information in the database with a simple search term. For example, someone might want to look up health care patients by their Social Security numbers, even if those numbers are stored as random characters. To make this possible, field level encryption lets database managers encrypt a search term on their machine and send it to the database as a query. The database matches the encrypted version of the search term with the record it’s storing and then sends it back to you.
This approach only works with specific kinds of data. For example, field level encryption isn’t useful for long text entries, like notes in a patient’s medical chart, because you can’t search for individual words.
Still, for data like account numbers, passwords and government ID numbers, field level encryption protects data and maintains a usable database.
Most importantly, White said, it’s simple to set up. Database managers turn it on with a one-time configuration change when they set up the database. “That’s really powerful,” he said in an interview.
21. The underlined word “scrambling” in paragraph 2 probably means________.
A. mixing B. collecting C. hiding D. storing
22. What can field level encryption do
A. Secure the safety of Internet pages. B. Protect files with a unique style of storage.
C. Stop bad guys from accessing the database. D. Enable companies to store files on the cloud.
23. What can be inferred from the passage
A Companies should move user data to cloud servers.
B. Cloud computing achieved a 17% increase in 2019.
C Companies may be unaware of the risks of the cloud.
D. No companies were willing to run their own data centers.
24. The author wrote the passage mainly to ________.
A. present some facts B. offer security advice
C. introduce a technique D. recommend a product
【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 24. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为“字段级加密”的新技术，该技术可以使云计算上的数据更加安全。文章说明了云计算所存在的一些问题以及字段级加密这项技术的一些优势和工作原理。
【21题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“before it’s sent to a cloud database and rearranging it in order when the data is needed for use”可知，后文提到在需要使用数据时重新排列数据，说明字段级加密的工作原理是在数据发送到云数据库之前打乱数据，并在需要使用数据时重新排列数据，故画线词意思是“打乱，使混合”。A. mixing使混合；B. collecting收集；C. hiding隐藏；D. storing储存。故选A。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The promise of the product is to protect the contents of a cloud database, even if bad guys access it.(该产品的承诺是即使有坏人访问数据库，也可以保护云数据库的内容)”可知，字段级加密能以独特的存储方式保护文件。故选B。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Companies have rushed to the cloud without understanding all of the possible security consequences. Many companies have left countless databases exposed, revealing personal data.(企业在没有了解所有可能的安全后果的情况下，就纷纷涌向云计算。许多公司暴露了无数的数据库，泄露了个人数据)”可推知，公司可能没有意识到云计算的风险。故选C。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“At the Enigma Conference in San Francisco, Kenn White, a security manager at database software maker MongoDB, will describe a new technique, called field level encryption, to make data safer on the cloud.(在旧金山举行的Enigma会议上，数据库软件制造商MongoDB的安全经理Kenn White将介绍一种名为“字段级加密”的新技术，该技术可以使云计算上的数据更加安全)”结合文章主要介绍了一种名为“字段级加密”的新技术，该技术可以使云计算上的数据更加安全。文章说明了云计算所存在的一些问题以及字段级加密这项技术的一些优势和工作原理。可推知，作者写这篇文章主要是为了介绍一项技术。故选C。
第二节 阅读表达（共4小题：第25题1分，第26，27题各2分，第28题4分；共9分）
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。
Face it
In much of the western world, governments now require people to wear masks when they are in crowded public spaces. That is good news, for masks could both save lives and allow people to get back to work. And to help economies restart safely, government should require people to wear face coverings in crowded public spaces.
People think of masks as something protecting them from dirty things in the air. But in the case of COVID-19, their more important job is to protect others from an infected wearer. That is because of one of the unusual characteristics of this disease: it seems likely that infection by people who have not, or not yet, developed symptoms(症状) makes up about a third to a half of the cases. So even if everybody with symptoms stays at home, the virus will still spread. Masks block the respiratory droplets(呼吸道飞沫) that carry the virus, so make risky situations safer.
There are signs that masking is useful. Even home-made face coverings can block droplets.
Experiments show that a piece of cloth over the mouth and face can block 60% of droplets—not as good as a medical mask, but much better than nothing.
East Asian countries’ success in controlling the disease argues in favour of masks. Wearing masks to protect against pollution or disease is common there, so people covered their faces as soon as they were informed of COVID-19. In the West, mask-wearing is alien. And in all of the countries where mask-wearing is common practice, the epidemic (流行病) was quickly controlled. This is not unquestionable evidence in favour of masks. Other factors distinguish those mask-wearing countries from bare-faced Western nations: some, such as China and South Korea, have strict track-and-trace systems and carry out mass coronavirus testing.
Yet the combination of this natural global experiment, laboratory studies and asymptomatic transmission(无症状传播) suggests that masks can help keep people safe. Lockdown destroys economies. Social distancing damages them. Masks cost next to nothing. They will not by themselves stop an epidemic. Hand-washing, track-and-trace systems and widespread testing are all crucial, too. But masks can do their bit to protect people and rebuild economies.
25. What is the key job of masks in COVID-19 epidemic according to the writer
26. Please paraphrase the underlined sentence in your own words.
27. Please underline the inappropriate part in the following statement and explain why.
Wearing masks is important and is considered the determining factor in the fight against the epidemic.
28. Please briefly present what can be done to fight against COVID-19. (about 40 words)
【答案】25. To protect others from an infected wearer.
26. In the West, mask-wearing is rare.
27. Wearing masks is important and is considered the determining factor in the fight against the epidemic. Because masks will not by themselves stop an epidemic，protect others from an infected wearer.
28. Wear masks and keep a safe distance with others when we are in crowded public spaces.
Wash hands especially when we come home from outside.
Carry out track-and-trace systems and widespread testing are crucial too.
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在新冠疫情背景下，戴口罩能有效的起到防护作用，各国对于佩戴口罩的不同做法，以及其他有效防止新冠疫情传播的方式。
【25题详解】
考查细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句“But in the case of COVID-19, their more important job is to protect others from an infected wearer.”（但就COVID-19而言，他们更重要的工作是保护其他人免受感染。）可知，新冠疫情期间，口罩的主要作用是保护其他人免受感染。故答案为To protect others from an infected wearer.
【26题详解】
考查细节理解题。根据第五段的前两句“East Asian countries’ success in controlling the disease argues in favour of masks. Wearing masks to protect against pollution or disease is common there, so people covered their faces as soon as they were informed of COVID-19.”（东亚国家在控制疾病方面的成功证明了戴口罩是有利的。在当地，人们经常戴口罩，以防止污染和疾病，所以当他们被告知新冠肺炎时，他们就会把脸遮起来。）结合划线句子“In the West, mask-wearing is alien（在西方，戴面具是异类）”可知，此处把东西方戴口罩的现象进行对比，旨在说明在西方国家，佩戴口罩是很罕见的。故答案为In the West, mask-wearing is rare.
【27题详解】
考查细节理解题。根据第二段的“But in the case of COVID-19, their more important job is to protect others from an infected wearer.”（但就COVID-19而言，他们更重要的工作是保护其他人免受感染。）和最后一段的“Masks cost next to nothing. They will not by themselves stop an epidemic. But masks can do their bit to protect people and rebuild economies.”（口罩几乎不花什么钱。它们本身无法阻止一场流行病。但口罩可以起到保护人民和重建经济的作用。）可知，口罩本身并不能抗击疫情，它的作用是保护其他人免受感染。故答案为Wearing masks is important and is considered the determining factor in the fight against the epidemic.Because masks will not by themselves stop an epidemic，protect others from an infected wearer.
【28题详解】
考查细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句“Masks block the respiratory droplets that carry the virus, so make risky situations safer.”（口罩可以阻止携带病毒的飞沫，因此使危险的情况更安全。）以及最后一段的第六句“Hand-washing, track-and-trace systems and widespread testing are all crucial, too.”（洗手、追踪系统和广泛的检测也都很重要。）可知，佩戴口罩，洗手，追踪系统，广泛的检测都是重要的疫情防控措施。故答案为Wear masks and keep a safe distance with others when we are in crowded public spaces.Wash hands especially when we come home from outside. Carry out track-and-trace systems and widespread testing are crucial, too.

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空，在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture. The gesture for “OK” has different ____29____ (meaning) in different cultures. In Japan, someone who witnesses another person employing the gesture might think it means money. In France, a person encountering an identical gesture may interpret it as meaning zero. However, you should avoid ____30____(make) this gesture in Brazil and Germany, as it ____31____ (consider) impolite.
【答案】29. meanings
30. making 31. is considered
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述肢体语言“OK”在不同国家所表达的意义不一样。
【29题详解】
考查名词。句意：在不同的文化中，“OK”的手势有不同的意思。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查可数名词复数形式被“different”修饰，做“has”的宾语。故填meanings。
【30题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：然而，在巴西和德国，你要避免做这个手势，因为它被认为是不礼貌的。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查固定搭配“avoid doing”表示“避免做某事”的意思。故填making。
【31题详解】

Huang Danian, the well-known Chinese geophysicist, was born in 1958 in Guangxi, China. As a keen and able student, Huang went to the UK in 1993 to further his studies.
By the time Huang moved back to China in 2008, he had been living and working in the UK for 15 years. He had a good job and a life there, but he gave it all up to return to home driven by the idea that he needed to contribute to his country. As one of the world’s leading experts in deep earth exploration technology, Huang was invited to participate in the “Thousand Talent” programme. He took up a position at Jilin University, Changchun.
Huang was named lead scientist on China’s deep earth exploration programme, developing advanced cameras that can see through the Earth’s crust(外壳) so that it can be analysed without having to dig into it. He set up an advanced lab, sometimes paying for equipment with his own money. Some described him as a “lunatic” (a “madman”), but this passion and drive enabled Huang to push forwards China’s deep earth exploration technology into a world-leading position. Huang’s devotion contributed to China’s lunar probe(月球探测器) Yutu being landed on the moon in 2013 and the launch of the spacecrafts Shenzhou-11 and Tiangong-2 in 2016.
Huang's health also paid the price for his commitment to his work. He began having fainting fits(昏厥) in 2012, but paid them little attention, stating he did not have time to go to see a doctor— his work always came first. In November 2016, Huang fainted and was taken to hospital, where he was diagnosed with cancer. The disease was so advanced that he had just a couple of months to live.
Like the true scientist he was, Huang never gave up, but always tried to push forwards. Even from his hospital bed, he continued his work, writing letters of reference for his colleagues and replying to questions from his students. Huang died in January 2017, aged just 58. More than 800 people attended his funeral to celebrate a life that burned so bright, but was so short.
17. Huang returned to China in 2008 because________.
A. he desired to devote himself to his motherland
B. the “Thousand Talent” program attracted him
C. Jilin University offered him a top position
D. he wasn’t satisfied with the life in the UK
18. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. China’s aerospace development.
B. Huang’s working attitude and style.
C. Huang’s great contributions to China.
D. China’s deep earth exploration technology.
19. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. The working environment caused Huang’s disease.
B. Huang worked continuously despite his poor health.
C. Huang was taken to hospital after he fainted in 2012.
D. A large sum of money was paid to treat Huang’s illness.
20. Which of the following can be used to describe Huang Danian
A. Generous and honest.
B. Passionate and patient.
C. Modest and courageous.
D. Patriotic and committed.
C
Improve Cloud Security
Sensitive customer data has constantly been found exposed on cloud servers without password protection. To ease the problem, database software makers have been trying to make security easier for cloud database managers. At the Enigma Conference in San Francisco, Kenn White, a security manager at database software maker MongoDB, will describe a new technique, called field level encryption, to make data safer on the cloud.
Field level encryption works by scrambling data before it’s sent to a cloud database and rearranging it in order when the data is needed for use. The promise of the product is to protect the contents of a cloud database, even if bad guys access it.
MongoDB’s new feature comes as more and more companies move user data to cloud servers, rather than run their own costly data centers. It was predicted that cloud computing would be a $214 billion industry by the end of 2019. That would be up more than 17% from 2018, when it was $182 billion.
Companies have rushed to the cloud without understanding all of the possible security consequences. Many companies have left countless databases exposed revealing personal data. A database containing details about who lives in 80 million US households was left unprotected in 2019, just like the data on Facebook users.
Database managers want to store their data in an unreadable form, but they also want to be able to find specific pieces of information in the database with a simple search term. For example, someone might want to look up health care patients by their Social Security numbers, even if those numbers are stored as random characters. To make this possible, field level encryption lets database managers encrypt a search term on their machine and send it to the database as a query. The database matches the encrypted version of the search term with the record it’s storing and then sends it back to you.
This approach only works with specific kinds of data. For example, field level encryption isn’t useful for long text entries, like notes in a patient’s medical chart, because you can’t search for individual words.
Still, for data like account numbers, passwords and government ID numbers, field level encryption protects data and maintains a usable database.
Most importantly, White said, it’s simple to set up. Database managers turn it on with a one-time configuration change when they set up the database. “That’s really powerful,” he said in an interview.
21. The underlined word “scrambling” in paragraph 2 probably means________.
A. mixing B. collecting C. hiding D. storing
22. What can field level encryption do
A. Secure the safety of Internet pages. B. Protect files with a unique style of storage.
C. Stop bad guys from accessing the database. D. Enable companies to store files on the cloud.
23. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Companies should move user data to cloud servers.
B. Cloud computing achieved a 17% increase in 2019.
C. Companies may be unaware of the risks of the cloud.
D. No companies were willing to run their own data centers.
24. The author wrote the passage mainly to ________.
A. present some facts B. offer security advice
C. introduce a technique D. recommend a product
第二节 阅读表达（共4小题：第25题1分，第26，27题各2分，第28题4分；共9分）
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。
Face it
In much of the western world, governments now require people to wear masks when they are in crowded public spaces. That is good news, for masks could both save lives and allow people to get back to work. And to help economies restart safely, government should require people to wear face coverings in crowded public spaces.
People think of masks as something protecting them from dirty things in the air. But in the case of COVID-19, their more important job is to protect others from an infected wearer. That is because of one of the unusual characteristics of this disease: it seems likely that infection by people who have not, or not yet, developed symptoms(症状) makes up about a third to a half of the cases. So even if everybody with symptoms stays at home, the virus will still spread. Masks block the respiratory droplets(呼吸道飞沫) that carry the virus, so make risky situations safer.
There are signs that masking is useful. Even home-made face coverings can block droplets.
Experiments show that a piece of cloth over the mouth and face can block 60% of droplets—not as good as a medical mask, but much better than nothing.
East Asian countries’ success in controlling the disease argues in favour of masks. Wearing masks to protect against pollution or disease is common there, so people covered their faces as soon as they were informed of COVID-19. In the West, mask-wearing is alien. And in all of the countries where mask-wearing is common practice, the epidemic (流行病) was quickly controlled. This is not unquestionable evidence in favour of masks. Other factors distinguish those mask-wearing countries from bare-faced Western nations: some, such as China and South Korea, have strict track-and-trace systems and carry out mass coronavirus testing.
Yet the combination of this natural global experiment, laboratory studies and asymptomatic transmission(无症状传播) suggests that masks can help keep people safe. Lockdown destroys economies. Social distancing damages them. Masks cost next to nothing. They will not by themselves stop an epidemic. Hand-washing, track-and-trace systems and widespread testing are all crucial, too. But masks can do their bit to protect people and rebuild economies.
25. What is the key job of masks in COVID-19 epidemic according to the writer
26. Please paraphrase the underlined sentence in your own words.
27. Please underline the inappropriate part in the following statement and explain why.
Wearing masks is important and is considered the determining factor in the fight against the epidemic
28. Please briefly present what can be done to fight against COVID-19. (about 40 words)
