A卷
第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
As the COVID-19 continues to spread, officials in China are urging citizens to wear masks in public to stop the spread of the coronavirus (冠状病毒)—and cities in China as well as other parts of Asia are reportedly running out of face masks.
But can a mask really keep you from catching the vims To answer that, it helps to clarify which kinds of masks we're talking about. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is suggesting that health care workers treat it like an airborne germ that can travel in particles(微粒) or droplets in the air. That means health care workers interacting with a coronavirus patient should wear a heavy-duty mask called an N95 respirator(口罩). These respirators are designed to fit tightly around the nose and mouth, and, when worn correctly, they block out at least 95% of small airborne particles, according to the CDC.
But wearing an N95 respirator is a serious business, says Dr. William Schaffner of the Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Health care workers who use these respirators are required by law to experience an annual fit test—a check to make sure the mask forms a tight seal on the wearer's face so that contaminated air can't leak in. Although the N95 respirator is disposable, workers must also show that they know how to put on and wear the model that they are using.
While N95 respirators are available for the public to buy, there's no official suggestion from health agencies for the general public to wear them.
By contrast, surgical masks—those cheap, disposable, gauzy masks that often come in blue or green—are less uncomfortable. But Schaffner says the scientific evidence that "there might be a great benefit for people in the community wearing surgical face masks'' is very, very meager. The general sense is perhaps, but they're certainly not an absolute protection. In other words, they do provide some benefit but they're far from foolproof.
1. What's the author's attitude toward the general public wearing N95 respirators
A. Cautious. B. Favourable. C. Casual. D. Admiring.
2. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean
A. Totally strong. B. Very necessary.
C. Not enough. D. Be of importance.
3. What would be the best title of the text
A. Why are some stores running out of face masks
B. Can a mask really keep you from catching the coronavirus
C. How to prevent the coronavirus from spreading
D. Could surgical masks replace N95 respirators
B
Every summer, my family and I visit our relatives in India and whenever we travel, my parents always remind me to drink only bottled or boiled water. On one of my trips to India, I saw children drinking water from the roadside. I was troubled to learn that millions of people, most of them children in developing countries, die each year because of water-related diseases.
Living in the US, I am lucky to be able to turn on the tap and get potable water (饮用水), while one sixth of the world's population lacks access to clean water. This year, I entered the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge. In late June, I learnt that I was selected as one of the top 10 national finalists of this famous middle school science competition. Over the summer, I worked with Dr Jim Jonza, my scientist mentor (导师) from 3M, and developed a system that uses solar energy to purify water. My invention is green and cost-effective, and I am looking forward to implementing this in places that are affected by harmful water pollution.
In October, my family and I flew to 3M headquarters in St Paul, Minnesota, where the final event was to be held. For the last challenge, each of us had to present the invention we had been working on over the summer. The first place winner would win $25,000, a trip to Costa Rica, and the title of America's Top Young Scientist. At the awards ceremony, all of us waited anxiously until one of the judges, Danny Forester, started announcing "The winner, he Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge is..." You could hear a pin (大头针) drop as he opened the paper with the winner's name, "Deepika Kurup!"
As America's Top Young Scientist. I was given an opportunities to show my invention on national television and deliver several presentations. One of the most important things I have learnt is that communication and teamwork are key to success.
1.Why does the author mention her visits to India
A.To express her great love for India. B.To show the problem of unclean water.
C.To explain the importance of relatives. D.To compare eastern and western cultures.
2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "implementing" in Paragraph 2

Mary Lyon was a leader in women's education in the nineteenth century. It was a time when women's education was not considered important in the United States. States did require each town to provide a school for children, but there were not. enough teachers. Most young women were not able to continue their education. If they did, they often were not taught much except the French language, how to sew clothing, and music.
Mary Lyon felt that women's education was extremely important. She believed women were teachers both in the home and in the classroom. Mary opened a school for young women in the village of Buckland. She suggested new ways of teaching, including holding discussion groups for students.
Then, Mary began to raise money for her dream school for the higher education of women. This school would own its own property, guided by an independent group of directors. Its finances would be the responsibility of the directors. It would not depend on any one person to continue. And, the students would share in cleaning and cooking to keep costs down. In 1837, Mary Lyon opened Mount Holyoke Seminary for Women. In 1893, 44 years after her death, under a state law, Mount Holyoke Female Seminary became the first college to offer women the same kind of education as men.
Mary's efforts led to the spread of higher education for women in the United States. Her influence lasted as the many students from her schools went out to teach others.

Every March, the country celebrates the achievements of women in American history. Even though these achievements go back a long way, most schools didn't start focusing on women pioneers and their achievements until recently. Today, most schools teach kids about the many contributions women have made to our country. How did this change come about
On March 19, 1911, a German woman named Clara Zetkin organized the very first International Women's Day. Inspired by American working women, the event took on the causes of peace in an effort to end World War I as well as women's rights. However, people's interest in International Women's Day still dwindled over the years. It gained momentum (势头) again in the 1960's when the women's movement caused women to wonder why they weren't included in the history books.
By the 1970s, more female historians began to look back at women's contributions in history. In 1978, a California school district started Women's History Week to promote the teaching of women's history. School officials picked the week of March 8 to include International Women's Day. It was so popular that, in 1981, Congress passed a resolution, making the week a celebration for the entire country. The concept of studying women's history continued to grow in popularity. In 1987, a group of women asked Congress to expand the celebration. That same year, Congress declared the entire month of March National Women’s History Month.
Today, schools and communities across the country celebrate the month with special lessons and activities designed to teach the ways women have helped shape the US. The women who have worked hard to make Women's History Month a reality would like to see women's history studied all year, not just every March. In 1996, the National Women's History Museum was founded It is a commonweal (公益) organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating the various historic contributions of women. The organization is working with Congress to open a permanent (永久的) museum site in Washington D. C.
(1)What was ignored in school education in the past according to the text
A.Popularizing American history.
B.Introducing the history of World War I.
C.Sharing Americans, global contributions.
D.Teaching about American women's achievements.
(2)Which of the following can replace the underlined word "dwindled" in Paragraph 2
A.Started. B. Survived. C.Decreased. D.Completed.
(3)What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 3
A.How Womens History Month became a reality.
B.How women were included in the history books.
C.Why women's history should be taught at school.
D.Why women's contributions should be honored in history.
(4)Which correctly describes the National Women's History Museum

C.It is a non-profit organization.
D.It is a museum in Washington D. C.

It was time to go home. "Remember to work on your class speeches for homework." Miss Walker called, as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jenny felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored with listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed.
As she turned the comer, she saw Lee's watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn't want to run after him.
Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practising her speech. Words just flooded out of her, "I'm going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I've won lots of competitions. But when I'm in a race, I'm not really thinking about winning. I'm just loving the feeling of being in the water..." Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flash of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee's watch really did have something magic about it.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind. "She's stolen my watch!" Lee said angrily. "It went missing at school yesterday."
Paragraph 1 :
Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny's speech first.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2.考查词义猜测。由画线词后的"The general sense is perhaps， but they're certainly not an absolute protection. In other words, they do provide some benefit but they're far from foolproof"可知，人们佩戴医用口罩会有很大益处的科学证据不充分。meager"不足的"，故C项符合语境。

2.词义猜测题。根据My invention is green and cost-effective 可知作者有了某项发明,再由画线词后的内容可知作者希望自己的发明用到有水污染的地方,故implementing是“应用”的意思。

4.推理判断题。根据全文可知,作者主要按时间顺序回顾了自己在探索教育3M青年科学家挑战赛中夺冠的经历。故选A项。
3.答案：1-4 BCBD
解析：1.细节理解题.根据第一段中的 Most young women were not able to continue their education. If they did, they often were not taught much except the French language, how to sew clothing, and music. 可知,大多数年轻女性无法继续接受教育.即使她们能接受教育,除了法语、如何缝制衣服和音乐之外,她们通常不会学到多少东西.所以19世纪美国女性的教育问题是她们能选择的学习科目很少.故选B项.

(3)主旨大意题.观察第三段行文主线可知该段以时间为主线:第一句由1970s写起,讲述女性的成就逐渐获得关注,第二句讲述1978年加利福尼亚的一个学区开始发起 "女子历史周" (Women's History Week), 第四句和第六句讲述1981年和1987年该活动越来越受欢迎,由 "女子历史周" 逐渐发展为 "女子历史月" (Women's History Month), 故A项正确.
(4)细节理解题.由第四段第四句It is a commonweal (公益) organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating the various historic contributions of women. 可知the National Women's History Museum是个非营利组织,故选择C项.

6.答案：1-5.ADCCA; 6-10.ABABA; 11-15.DBCAD
解析：1.根据前一句I never went to university but always thought about it可知,作者没上过大学,所以作者“上”大学的唯一方法就是听孩子们谈论他们正在上的有趣的课。故选A项。

7.答案： meaning; As; highest; is marked; to; celebration; traditionally; is; that/ which; noodles
解析：①考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句子的谓语动词是originates,这里应用非谓语形式, mean与主语solstice是逻辑上的主谓关系,因此用动词-ing形式。
②考查连词。由语境可知,此处表示"随着白天变长",故应用as引导状语从句,表示"随着……"。
③考查形容词的最高级。依据上文中的"the sun rises higher and higher"和"one of the great turning points"及常识可知,太阳在夏至这一天是最高的,故用最高级。
④考查时态和语态。依据上下文可知,此处应用一般现在时; mark sth. with sth.表示"用……纪念/庆贺……",此处应用其被动语态。
⑤考查介词。When it comes to...表示"当谈及……",其中to为介词。
⑥考查名词。由句中的the county's biggest可知此处用表词, celebration表示"庆祝,庆典"。
⑦考查副词。分析句子结构可知,该空修饰动词welcomes,故用副词形式。
⑧考查主谓一致。动词-ing形式短语作主语时谓语动词用单数。本句的主语是"eating lychees(荔枝) during summer solstice",因此谓语动词用is。
⑨考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,修饰saying,从句中缺少主语,因此用which或that。
⑩考查名词复数。noodle是可数名词,其前没有限定词,故应用复数形式。
8.答案：
Dear Jenny,
The scientist I admire most is Tu Youyou, who was born in 1930 in Zhejiang Province. She is well-known because she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015 for her great contributions to medicine.
Since graduating from university, she has devoted her time and energy to discovering a cure for malaria, a deadly disease in the past. After working hard with her co-workers for years, she finally found artemisinin, which has saved millions of lives around the world.
Tu Youyou is the first Chinese scientist to win the Nobel Prize for science. Her winning the reward shows that traditional Chinese medicine is of great value. She is such a great role model that I admire her most.
Yours,
Li Hua
9.答案：
Paragraph 1:
Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation. Jenny didn't answer. How could she explain about the watch and its magic No one could understand. No one could believe. "But I saw you wearing it yesterday," Miss Walker gently reminded Lee. For a moment Lee remained silent and then he apologized he had just remembered that. Jenny was relieved to say she had found it on the way home and decided to return it after the speech. Everybody was puzzled and asked why. Jenny again was speechless.
Paragraph 2:
Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny's speech first. Jenny walked slowly to the front. She couldn't think properly. All round her, a sea of faces were watching. She felt so frightened and the watch didn't seem magical at all. Suddenly she saw Miss Walker's encouraging eyes. Jenny took a deep breath. "I'm going to talk about swimming..."

A
As the COVID-19 continues to spread, officials in China are urging citizens to wear masks in public to stop the spread of the coronavirus (冠状病毒)—and cities in China as well as other parts of Asia are reportedly running out of face masks.
But can a mask really keep you from catching the vims To answer that, it helps to clarify which kinds of masks we're talking about. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is suggesting that health care workers treat it like an airborne germ that can travel in particles(微粒) or droplets in the air. That means health care workers interacting with a coronavirus patient should wear a heavy-duty mask called an N95 respirator(口罩). These respirators are designed to fit tightly around the nose and mouth, and, when worn correctly, they block out at least 95% of small airborne particles, according to the CDC.
But wearing an N95 respirator is a serious business, says Dr. William Schaffner of the Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Health care workers who use these respirators are required by law to experience an annual fit test—a check to make sure the mask forms a tight seal on the wearer's face so that contaminated air can't leak in. Although the N95 respirator is disposable, workers must also show that they know how to put on and wear the model that they are using.
While N95 respirators are available for the public to buy, there's no official suggestion from health agencies for the general public to wear them.
By contrast, surgical masks—those cheap, disposable, gauzy masks that often come in blue or green—are less uncomfortable. But Schaffner says the scientific evidence that "there might be a great benefit for people in the community wearing surgical face masks'' is very, very meager. The general sense is perhaps, but they're certainly not an absolute protection. In other words, they do provide some benefit but they're far from foolproof.
1. What's the author's attitude toward the general public wearing N95 respirators
A. Cautious. B. Favourable. C. Casual. D. Admiring.
2. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean
A. Totally strong. B. Very necessary.
C. Not enough. D. Be of importance.
3. What would be the best title of the text
A. Why are some stores running out of face masks
B. Can a mask really keep you from catching the coronavirus
C. How to prevent the coronavirus from spreading
D. Could surgical masks replace N95 respirators

Every summer, my family and I visit our relatives in India and whenever we travel, my parents always remind me to drink only bottled or boiled water. On one of my trips to India, I saw children drinking water from the roadside. I was troubled to learn that millions of people, most of them children in developing countries, die each year because of water-related diseases.
Living in the US, I am lucky to be able to turn on the tap and get potable water (饮用水), while one sixth of the world's population lacks access to clean water. This year, I entered the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge. In late June, I learnt that I was selected as one of the top 10 national finalists of this famous middle school science competition. Over the summer, I worked with Dr Jim Jonza, my scientist mentor (导师) from 3M, and developed a system that uses solar energy to purify water. My invention is green and cost-effective, and I am looking forward to implementing this in places that are affected by harmful water pollution.
In October, my family and I flew to 3M headquarters in St Paul, Minnesota, where the final event was to be held. For the last challenge, each of us had to present the invention we had been working on over the summer. The first place winner would win $25,000, a trip to Costa Rica, and the title of America's Top Young Scientist. At the awards ceremony, all of us waited anxiously until one of the judges, Danny Forester, started announcing "The winner, he Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge is..." You could hear a pin (大头针) drop as he opened the paper with the winner's name, "Deepika Kurup!"
As America's Top Young Scientist. I was given an opportunities to show my invention on national television and deliver several presentations. One of the most important things I have learnt is that communication and teamwork are key to success.

Mary Lyon was a leader in women's education in the nineteenth century. It was a time when women's education was not considered important in the United States. States did require each town to provide a school for children, but there were not. enough teachers. Most young women were not able to continue their education. If they did, they often were not taught much except the French language, how to sew clothing, and music.
Mary Lyon felt that women's education was extremely important. She believed women were teachers both in the home and in the classroom. Mary opened a school for young women in the village of Buckland. She suggested new ways of teaching, including holding discussion groups for students.
Then, Mary began to raise money for her dream school for the higher education of women. This school would own its own property, guided by an independent group of directors. Its finances would be the responsibility of the directors. It would not depend on any one person to continue. And, the students would share in cleaning and cooking to keep costs down. In 1837, Mary Lyon opened Mount Holyoke Seminary for Women. In 1893, 44 years after her death, under a state law, Mount Holyoke Female Seminary became the first college to offer women the same kind of education as men.
Mary's efforts led to the spread of higher education for women in the United States. Her influence lasted as the many students from her schools went out to teach others.

Every March, the country celebrates the achievements of women in American history. Even though these achievements go back a long way, most schools didn't start focusing on women pioneers and their achievements until recently. Today, most schools teach kids about the many contributions women have made to our country. How did this change come about
On March 19, 1911, a German woman named Clara Zetkin organized the very first International Women's Day. Inspired by American working women, the event took on the causes of peace in an effort to end World War I as well as women's rights. However, people's interest in International Women's Day still dwindled over the years. It gained momentum (势头) again in the 1960's when the women's movement caused women to wonder why they weren't included in the history books.
By the 1970s, more female historians began to look back at women's contributions in history. In 1978, a California school district started Women's History Week to promote the teaching of women's history. School officials picked the week of March 8 to include International Women's Day. It was so popular that, in 1981, Congress passed a resolution, making the week a celebration for the entire country. The concept of studying women's history continued to grow in popularity. In 1987, a group of women asked Congress to expand the celebration. That same year, Congress declared the entire month of March National Women’s History Month.
Today, schools and communities across the country celebrate the month with special lessons and activities designed to teach the ways women have helped shape the US. The women who have worked hard to make Women's History Month a reality would like to see women's history studied all year, not just every March. In 1996, the National Women's History Museum was founded It is a commonweal (公益) organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating the various historic contributions of women. The organization is working with Congress to open a permanent (永久的) museum site in Washington D. C.
(1)What was ignored in school education in the past according to the text
A.Popularizing American history.

It was time to go home. "Remember to work on your class speeches for homework." Miss Walker called, as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jenny felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored with listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed.
As she turned the comer, she saw Lee's watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn't want to run after him.
Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practising her speech. Words just flooded out of her, "I'm going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I've won lots of competitions. But when I'm in a race, I'm not really thinking about winning. I'm just loving the feeling of being in the water..." Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flash of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee's watch really did have something magic about it.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind. "She's stolen my watch!" Lee said angrily. "It went missing at school yesterday."

Paragraph 2 :

2.考查词义猜测。由画线词后的"The general sense is perhaps， but they're certainly not an absolute protection. In other words, they do provide some benefit but they're far from foolproof"可知，人们佩戴医用口罩会有很大益处的科学证据不充分。meager"不足的"，故C项符合语境。

3.答案：1-4 BCBD
解析：1.细节理解题.根据第一段中的 Most young women were not able to continue their education. If they did, they often were not taught much except the French language, how to sew clothing, and music. 可知,大多数年轻女性无法继续接受教育.即使她们能接受教育,除了法语、如何缝制衣服和音乐之外,她们通常不会学到多少东西.所以19世纪美国女性的教育问题是她们能选择的学习科目很少.故选B项.

(3)主旨大意题.观察第三段行文主线可知该段以时间为主线:第一句由1970s写起,讲述女性的成就逐渐获得关注,第二句讲述1978年加利福尼亚的一个学区开始发起 "女子历史周" (Women's History Week), 第四句和第六句讲述1981年和1987年该活动越来越受欢迎,由 "女子历史周" 逐渐发展为 "女子历史月" (Women's History Month), 故A项正确.

6.答案：1-5.ADCCA; 6-10.ABABA; 11-15.DBCAD

解析：①考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句子的谓语动词是originates,这里应用非谓语形式, mean与主语solstice是逻辑上的主谓关系,因此用动词-ing形式。
②考查连词。由语境可知,此处表示"随着白天变长",故应用as引导状语从句,表示"随着……"。
③考查形容词的最高级。依据上文中的"the sun rises higher and higher"和"one of the great turning points"及常识可知,太阳在夏至这一天是最高的,故用最高级。

⑥考查名词。由句中的the county's biggest可知此处用表词, celebration表示"庆祝,庆典"。
⑦考查副词。分析句子结构可知,该空修饰动词welcomes,故用副词形式。
⑧考查主谓一致。动词-ing形式短语作主语时谓语动词用单数。本句的主语是"eating lychees(荔枝) during summer solstice",因此谓语动词用is。
⑨考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,修饰saying,从句中缺少主语,因此用which或that。
⑩考查名词复数。noodle是可数名词,其前没有限定词,故应用复数形式。
8.答案：
Dear Jenny,
The scientist I admire most is Tu Youyou, who was born in 1930 in Zhejiang Province. She is well-known because she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015 for her great contributions to medicine.
Since graduating from university, she has devoted her time and energy to discovering a cure for malaria, a deadly disease in the past. After working hard with her co-workers for years, she finally found artemisinin, which has saved millions of lives around the world.
Tu Youyou is the first Chinese scientist to win the Nobel Prize for science. Her winning the reward shows that traditional Chinese medicine is of great value. She is such a great role model that I admire her most.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation. Jenny didn't answer. How could she explain about the watch and its magic No one could understand. No one could believe. "But I saw you wearing it yesterday," Miss Walker gently reminded Lee. For a moment Lee remained silent and then he apologized he had just remembered that. Jenny was relieved to say she had found it on the way home and decided to return it after the speech. Everybody was puzzled and asked why. Jenny again was speechless.
Paragraph 2:
Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny's speech first. Jenny walked slowly to the front. She couldn't think properly. All round her, a sea of faces were watching. She felt so frightened and the watch didn't seem magical at all. Suddenly she saw Miss Walker's encouraging eyes. Jenny took a deep breath. "I'm going to talk about swimming..." Ten minutes later the whole class stood up applauding Jenny's wonderful speech. Jenny smiled as she eventually realized the real source of confidence.
