二、阅读理解
The literary world has a new star. Novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah is this year's winner of the Nobel Prize in literature in recognition of his "compassionate penetration (揭示) of the effects of colonialism (殖民主义) and the fate of the refugee (难民)".
Gurnah grew up in Zanzibar, an island off the coast of Tanzania. In 1964, Gurnah was forced to leave for England as a refugee, where he began to reflect on his experiences in a diary and then through stories. Through the years, he wrote 10 novels and stories that explore the suffering caused by war and colonialism. "The thing that motivated the whole experience of writing for me was this idea of losing your place in the world," Gurnah told The New York Times.
His 1994 novel Paradise, which tells the story of a boy growing up in early 20th century Tanzania, marked his breakthrough as a novelist and won the Booker Prize. Afterlives, his most recent work, continues the narrative of Paradise and takes place during the period of German colonialism in Tanzania.
Before he retired, Gurnah, 73, was a professor of English and Postcolonial Literatures at the University of Kent in England. Although Gurnah's first language is Swahili, he adopted English as his literary language. His writing often contains traces of Arabic, Swahili and German, as well.
Anders Olsson, the chair of the Nobel committee, said that Gurnah "is widely recognized as one of the world's more preeminent post-colonial writers".
Ethiopian-American novelist Maaza Mengiste described Gunah's writings as being "like a gentle blade (刀刃) slowly moving in". "He has written work that is absolutely unfearing and yet at the same time completely compassionate and full of heart for people of East Africa," Mengiste said. "He is writing stories that are often quiet stories of people who aren't heard, but there's an insistence there that we listen."
1.What are Gurnah's works mainly about
A.The life of the people in Tanzania.
B.Effects of war and colonialism.
C.Experiences of living abroad.
D.Growth in an underdeveloped nation.
2.What can we know about Gurnah
A.He was inspired to write by his refugee experience.
B.He used to be a professor of law and literature.
C.He publishes his works in Arabic and Swahili.
D.He was not well-known until he won the Nobel Prize.
3.What does Maaza Mengiste think of Gurnah's writing
A.It is elegantly written in his native language.
B.It is widely welcomed by people around the world.
C.It is powerful and employs sharp language.
D.It calls for attention to the life of the underclass.
4.What does the underlined word "preeminent" in paragraph 5 probably mean
A.Awful. B.Potential. C.Outstanding. D.Particular.

二、阅读理解
In 1713, Italian physician Bernardinus Ramazzini described in his book a mysterious set of symptoms he was noticing among artists: "Of the many painters I have known, almost all I found unhealthy ... If we search for the cause of the extremely thin and colorless appearance of the painters, as well as the sad feelings that they are so often victims of, we should look no further than the harmful nature of the paint."
He was one of the first to make the connection between paint and artists' health, but it would take centuries for painters to switch to less-harmful materials, even as medicine gradually found some clues to the painters' health problems.
The 1834 London Medical and Surgical Journal describes sharp stomach pains occurring in patients with no other evidence of intestinal(肠的)disease, thus leading the authors to suspect that this "painter's stomachache" was a "nervous affection" of the intestine that occurs when lead "is absorbed into the system".
Paints weren't the only source of saturnism(铅中毒)in past centuries, though. Through the 1500s, lead was widely used in wine to make the wine tastes sweeter. Occasionally, lead was even used as a medicine. In the Middle Ages, lead could be found in makeup.
Though many kinds of people fell victim to saturnism, the disease was perhaps most widespread among those who worked with paint. The symptoms of this "stomachache" ranged, but they often included a pale face, tooth loss, fatigue, painful stomach aches, and so on. In fact, the illness that many famous artists experienced didn't just prompt their gloomy works.
Lead poisoning among historical figures is difficult to prove, in part because the condition was not known or recognized in most of their lifetimes. We can't know whether the madness, depression, and illnesses many Renaissance masters experienced can be attributed to their paint or just their physiologies(生理机能).
1. In his book, Bernardinus Ramazzini described the following symptoms of many painters except ______.
A. being extremely thin B. depressed feelings
C. being always inactive D. pale appearance
2. What can we know about Bernardinus Ramazzini
A. He was an Italian physicist. B. He invented less-harmful materials.
C. He made artists stop using paints. D. He thought paints do harm to health.
3. When may be the connection between paint and artists' health first established
A. In the 16th century. B. In the 18th century.
C. In the 19th century. D. In the 20th century.
4. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Lead was widely used throughout history in daily life.
B. Saturnism in past centuries came from various sources.
C. All the artists are unhealthy for they use harmful paints.
D. Typical symptoms of artists' disease may be connected to paints.
三、语法填空

A culture guide named Persephone welcomes travelers to Greece and takes them through a famous cave in the north. The guide moves smoothly around the underground area and can talk about it in 33 languages. It can also answer 33 questions, but only in the Greek language.
Persephone is intelligent and it is a human-sized robot. The robot has been in operation for about a month at the Alistrati Cave. Persephone guides visitors through the first 150 meters of the cave that is open to the public. For the remaining 750 meters, a human guide takes over.
The idea of creating the robot guide was come up with by Nikos Kartalis, who is the scientific director at the Alistrati site. He had this idea when he saw one on television guiding visitors at an art show. Persephone was built by the National Technology and Research Foundation and cost about 139,000 dollars. "People who had visited in the past are coming back to see the robot guide," said Nikos, "Many foreign visitors couldn't believe Greece had the ability to build a robot and use it as a guide in the cave."
The robot, with a white body, black head, and two bright eyes, moves on wheels. It guides visitors to the first three of eight stops along the walkway. It can do two more stops, but it is too slow for the tour. Persephone's creators are considering ways to increase its speed. The robot begins the tour by saying: "My name is Persephone. I welcome you to the Alistrati Cave."
Evdokia Karafera is a human guide who parmers with Persephone. "It is helpful, because it speaks many languages," she said. "There's just a little delay in the touring. Most find it fascinating, especially the children, and find it interesting that it speaks many languages. Robots, at some point in the future, will take over many jobs. But I believe they cannot take the place of humans everywhere."
1.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2
A.Persephone's hobby. B.Persephone's intelligence.
C.Persephone's job. D.Persephone's operating principle.
2.What might be the foreign visitors' first reaction when seeing Persephone
A.Surprised. B.Delighted. C.Satisfied. D.Frightened.
3.What is a disadvantage of Persephone according to Paragraph 4
A.Its limited color of its body. B.Its slow speed.
C.Its unstable moving patterns. D.Its short greeting.
4.What does Evdokia want to stress in the last Paragraph
A.Persephone is intended to attract the children.
B.Persephone is helpless in making the site famous.
C.Robots will play a less important role in the future.
D.Robots are unable to replace humans everywhere.

解析： 考查定语从句关系词。句意：在这个2020年新型冠状病毒爆发后发生了很多变化的世界，我们很需要同情。分析句子，该空需要一个关系词引导定语从句修饰先行词this world，"在这个……的世界里"，定语从句中主语是changes，谓语动词take place。不及物无被动。所以关系词代替先行词在从句中做地点状语，所以应填where。故填where。
2.答案：when
解析： 先行词days在定语从句中作时间状语,用关系副词when引导定语从句。故填when。
3.答案：why
解析： 句意: 这是他上学迟到的理由。用why引导限定性定语从句修饰先行词reason, 在定语从句中充当原因状语。故答案为"This is the reason why he was late for school."。
4.答案：that/which/不填
解析： 考查定语从句。句意：孩子们在与电视中的人物的单向关系中花费的时间无疑会影响他们在现实生活中的人际关系。分析句子可知，空格处引导定语从句，先行词为the hours，关系代词which或that引导从句，在从句中作spent的宾语，可省略。故填that/which/不填。
5.答案：whose
解析： 考查完成句子。句意:我住在一对夫妇的隔壁, 他们的孩子经常吵闹。本句是定语从句, 现行词是couple在定语从句中做定语, 应该用whose引导, 所以填whose。
6.答案：that
解析：句意:他高兴地谈起了在学校让他非常感兴趣的那些人和书。定语从句缺少主语,应用关系代词;当定语从句先行词既有人又有物时,应用that引导。
7.答案：why
解析：这是一个定语从句,先行词是two reasons,在句中作原因状语,所以用why来引导。故填why。
8.答案：when
解析： 根据句意和所给部分可知这句话使用when引导定语从句, 修饰an age"一个年纪", 在定语从句中作状语、故填when。
9.答案：who
解析： 考查定语从句。句意：根据吉尼斯世界纪录，世界上最老的人是111岁，此人目前生活在日本。分析可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，关系词代替先行词the oldest man在从句中充当主语，应用关系代词who。故填who。
10.答案：which
解析：该题考查定语从句，结合句意并分析句子结构，a good habit of learning为先行词，指物，___we think will benefit us in the long term为定语从句，且定语从句缺少主语，故应使用关系代词that或which引导，但由于that不能引导非限制性定语从句，所以只能填which．
二、阅读理解
答案：1.C; 2.A; 3.B; 4.D
解析：1.主旨大意题。根据第二段的"Persephone guides visitors through the first 150 metres of the cave that is open to the public. For the remaining 750 metres, a human guide takes over.(Persephone引导游客穿过对公众开放的前150米的洞穴。剩下的750米,由一名向导负责。) "可知,第二段主要讲的是机器人导游Persephone的主要用途。故选C。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段的"Many foreign visitors couldn't believe Greece had the ability to build a robot and use it as a guide in the cave.(许多外国游客都不相信希腊有能力制造一个机器人,并把它当作洞穴里的向导。)"可知,看到希腊有机器人担任洞穴导游,外国游客感到非常惊讶。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段的"It can do two more stops, but it is too slow for the tour.(它可以多停两站,但对整个旅行来说太慢了。)"可知,机器人导游Persephone移动速度慢,这是它的不足之处。故选B。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段的"But I believe they cannot take the place of humans everywhere.(但我相信它们不可能在任何地方取代人类。) "可知,Evdokia在最后一段想要强调机器人无法在任何地方取代人类。故选D。
三、语法填空
答案：1. wisdom2. confirming3. the4. happened5. traditional6. to promote7. at8. which9. experiences 10. actively
解析： ①考查名词。句意:这种方法结合了中医的智慧和谈话疗法。空格处用名词作宾语,wise的名词是wisdom,是不可数名词,意为"智慧",故填wisdom。
②考查时态和省路。句意:在确认你的情绪状态的同时,简单地敲击身体上的穴位,你就可以释放细胞能量。根据语境可知,句子表示"在确认你的情绪状态的同时,简单地敲击身体上的穴位",while引导的从句中用现在进行时,是while you are confirming,状语从句中主语和主句主语一致,且从句中有be动词时,可省略从句的主语和be动词,因此空格处是confirming。故填confirming。
③考查定冠词。句意:通过感受这些情绪,你可以通过爱和宽恕的力量来处理和清除它们。空格处用定冠词特指"爱和宽恕的力量",故填the。
④考查时态。句意:叩击提供了一种健康的方式来处理困难的情绪,即使是来自遥远过去的经历。由"in the distant past"可知,句子时态用一般过去时,空格处用过去式,故填happened。
⑤考查形容词。句意:针灸是一种可以追潮到几千年前的传统中医的治疗方法。空格处用形容词作定语,修饰名词Chinese medicine, tradition的形容词是traditional,意为"传统的",故填traditional。
⑥考查不定式。句意:叩击也采用了类似的方法,但用的是触摸而不是针,以促进能量在全身流动。根据语境和句意可知,空格处用不定式表目的,故填to promote。
⑦考查固定短语和介词。句意:乍一看,这可能听起来很奇怪或不可能。at first glance是固定短语,意为"乍一看",因此空格处是介词at,故填at。
⑧考查定语从句。句意:但科学家认为,这种方法之所以有效,是因为它能刺激中枢神经系统,从而使身体释放有益的化学物质。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,主语是前面描述的整个句子,因此空格处用关系代词which引导定语从句,故填which。
⑨考查名词的复数。句意:虽然很痛苦,但重要的是要用健康的方式来处理他们的经历。根据语境和句意可知,experience意为"经历",是可数名词,由their可知,空格处用复数,故填experiences.
⑩考查副词。句意:像叩击这样的治疗方法有助于积极地释放这些情绪,这样你就可以处理和治愈困难的情绪。空格处用副词修饰动词release, active的副词是actively,意为"积极地",故填actively。
