In California, there are farms that you can visit, tour, and buy locally grown products to sample and enjoy. These are some of the best farms to visit when you’re in California!
China Ranch Date Farm, Tecopa
China Ranch is a small family-owned farm that is truly an oasis in the desert. When you visit, you can try fresh dates and bread, muffins, and cookies made with dates. The shop is open every day except for Christmas and is an easy 85-mile drive from Las Vegas as well. There’s a small museum that’s open to the public，and the China Ranch is available for film and photography shoots.

Oscar Valera likes to use 3D printers to build a collection of crafts (模型), but he is now turning his hobby toward the fight against the coronavirus pandemic (新冠大流行).
In just four days, the New Jersey high school teacher has printed and distributed 200 face masks to medical professionals across the country, including Florida and Texas. He is far from done. “One woman told me what you’re doing right now is giving people peace of mind. You’re probably saving lives,” said Valera, who found a mask design posted online.
Demand for face masks, along with N95-masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE) has increased with the surge (大量涌现) of patients infected with the highly infectious virus. That has prompted volunteer 3D printers like Valera to step in to support doctors, nurses and first responders, who are all in danger of contracting the sometimes deadly illness.
In Sunnyvale, California, community workspace nonprofit Maker Nexus has been running its 13 3D printers and three laser cutters (激光切割机) nonstop. The company produced 1,800 masks for local hospitals and now has requests for another 13,000.
Elsewhere in Silicon Valley, more companies are joining in. Fremont-based PrinterPrezz, a 3D-printing medical device contract manufacturer that specializes in metal spinal implants, switched production to printing PPE after getting a request from nearby Washington Hospital Healthcare System.
Snap Lab, a unit of Snap Inc, is also producing face masks to donate to hospitals. In New Jersey, Valera said he will continue to do his part. “I don’t mind doing this,” Valera said. “I just hate the fact that I have.”
4. What do we know about Oscar Valera
A. He is a professional craftsman.
B. He is helping medical worker to save lives.
C. He adopts the online mask design.
D. He is forced to print face masks.
5. How many enterprises are mentioned to help produce medical equipment

C. Face Masks Are in Great Demand.
D. The Fight Against the Pandemic.
C
The decline in sea ice seen in the Arctic in recent decades has been linked by scientists to the spread of a deadly virus in marine (海洋的) mammals. Researchers found that Phocine distemper virus (PDV) had spread from animals in the North Atlantic to populations in the North Pacific.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the ice has been retreating by around 12% per decade between 1979 and 2018. These sea ice changes in September (2018) are likely unprecedented (前所未有的) for at least 1, 000 years. “Between 1979 and 2018, the real proportion (比例) of multi-year ice that is at least five years old has declined by approximately 90%,” the IPCC said in their report on the oceans and the cryosphere (冰冻圈) published in September.
Against this changing background, researchers have investigated the likely spread of the PDV infection, which caused a large number of deaths among harbour seals in the North Atlantic in 2002. Melting sea ice is now connecting marine mammals, like these Steller sea lions, which were formerly separated by ice . “As animals move and come in contact with other species, they carry opportunities to introduce and catch new infectious disease, with potentially destructive effects.” said author Dr Tracey Goldstein, from the University of California, Davis.
The authors warn that this trend could continue as they believe climate driven changes in the Arctic ocean will increase. The opportunities for the spread of PDV will likely grow, with uncertain health outcomes for many species.
8. What does the word “populations” in paragraph 1 refer to
A The marine mammals. B. The people.
C. The virus. D. The land animals.
9. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about
A. The loss of sea ice. B. The formation of sea ice.
C. The effect of sea ice. D. The proportion of sea ice.
10. What does paragraph 3 try to tell us
A How marine mammals adapt to their habitats.
B. How a large number of seals died in the Arctic.
C. How melting ice is linked to the spread of virus.
D. How marine mammals live with the melting ice.
11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Health.
C. Education. D. Nature.
D
When was the last time you listened to someone And when was the last time someone really listened to you I asked people what it meant to be a good listener. The typical response was a blank stare. People had no trouble, however, telling me what it meant to be a bad listener.
Of course, technology plays a role. Social media helps filter out (滤掉) opposing views. People find phone calls disturbing and ignore voice mail, preferring text or wordless emoji. But tech is not the only blame. High schools and colleges rarely, if ever, offer classes or activities that teach careful listening. Traffic noise on city streets and music playing in shops exceed (超过) the volume of normal conversation by as much as 30 decibels (分贝), and can even cause hearing loss.
So how can we reclaim the lost art of listening After years of studying and consulting, I discovered that listening goes beyond simply hearing what people say. It also involves paying attention to how they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context, and how what they say resonates (与. . . 共鸣) within you. It’s not about merely holding your peace while someone holds forth. Quite the opposite. A lot of listening has to do with how you respond — the degree to which you assist in the clear expression of the other person’s thoughts and in the process, express your own.
Good listeners ask good questions. Good questions don’t begin with “Wouldn’t you agree. or “Don’t you think. . . ” and they definitely don’t end with “right ” The idea is to explore the other person’s point of view, not sway it. You also want to avoid asking people personal and evaluating questions. Instead, ask about people’s interests so that they feel more connected than if they spend time together accomplishing a task.
The reward of good listening will almost certainly be more interesting conversations. Attentive listeners receive more information, related details from the speakers, even when the listeners didn’t ask any questions. We are, each of us, the sum of what we attend to in life. And to listen poorly, selectively or not at all limits your understanding of the world and prevents you from becoming the best you can be.
12. Which is NOT mentioned as a factor that contributes to bad Listening
A. People prefer text message to phone calls.
B. Listening skills are not taught in school.
C. The noise around us drowns out our speech.
D. Our responses to others while listening is different.
13. What does the author find about listening
A. Listening combines hearing, understanding and responding.
B. Listening requires the listener to keep in total silence.
C. Listening isn’t just hearing but also predicting questions.
D. Listening is to put your thoughts into other person’s mouth.
14. What does the underlined word “sway” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Influence. B. Stop.
C. Prove. D. Complain.
15 Which of the following will the author most probably agree with
A. Good listeners should express themselves bravely.
B. Good listening promotes our understanding of the world.
C. Good listeners always receive reward from the speakers.
D. Good listening develops people’s interest in private life.

Travel is the only thing that will really make you richer. While it's very valid there're many times when we are simply unable to travel for certain reasons. However, there's still a great and affordable way to experience new places: books.
Wild
Wild is Cheryl Strayed's beautifully written story of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail for 1,100 miles all by herself. Her journey of self-discovery and facing her painful past is fascinating and will keep you fascinated from the first page up until the last. You will feel like you're hiking alongside Strayed the whole time.
On the Road
Jack Kerouac's classic novel in 1957 is a masterpiece from the Beat Generation, which tells the timeless tale of being young, confused, and just getting on the road to try to figure it all out. The book tells the personal developmental story of Sal, who is strongly based on Kerouac himself, leaving New York City and traveling around the country. The book ensures madness, along with colorful characters and heartbreaking moments.
The Caliph's House

His writing is rich and fascinating and tells an incredible story of their time of living there.
The Great Railway Bazaar
Paul Theroux's book narrates his four-month experience in 1973 traveling by train from London to Europe, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, as well as his return trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway, enriching and improving himself.

Teachers in poor areas are always being asked to do more with less. They're given smaller budgets and larger tasks in schools that employ fewer teachers and take in more students. But none of these struggles can quite compare to the challenges faced by a computing teacher Akoto in Ghana who teaches his students how to use computers.
Akoto recently posted photos of his classroom, and they've gotten quite a response. Akoto is an information and communication technology (ICT) teacher who has been assigned to teach his students without using an actual computer. So like any good teacher, Akoto teaches them by drawing pictures of a computer on the blackboard.
Akoto recently shared images of one of his computer lessons, in which he can be seen using multi-colored chalk to draw the features of Microsoft Word software on the blackboard. In one of the photos, you can see his students drawing the same images in their notebooks.
One might ask, "Why do they bother to take such a challenging course " But here's the reason: Even though the students at Akoto's school don't have computers, they are still required to pass a national exam that includes a section on computing skills before they move or to high school.
So Akoto does what he needs to do to ensure that his students understand the material He has drawn pictures many times for his students over his six years and just happened to share the pictures this time on Facebook. He says he has his own personal laptop, but it is different from the one Akoto is required to teach. He doesn't bring it to class for fear of confusing the kids with a computer that they have never seen.
The good news is that those Facebook pictures made their way to the right place. Microsoft Africa promised to give him some proper resources. Others also stepped up to the plate and helped out Akoto. NIIT Ghana, an information technology training institution, donated five computers to Akoto's school and one for Akoto himself. A PhD student at the University of Leeds in the U. K. inspired by Akoto also donated a computer.
24. Which of the following best describes the state of Akoto's school

C. He is uncertain about its function. D. He is afraid to puzzle his students
27. What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. To stand still is to move back. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Great things can be achieved by joint effort. D. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
C
A shocking news report has revealed that more than one in five species of maple trees faces extinction, warning that 75% of the threatened species are “geographically restricted” in their native regions.
The trees are experiencing a vast decline in habitat, due to urban development, wood harvesting and agricultural expansion. Time is running out for the world's biodiversity. Every recent survey of plants and animals in the wild points to this. This is happening nearly everywhere rarer maples exist. And because of climate change, the narrow habitats that support species at the edges of dry places and at the tops of mountains are quickly disappearing.
The trees can be found in subtropical and tropical regions, as far south as Indonesia. The only species found in the UK, the field maple is not under threat. Not only are the trees a popular attractive feature in parks and public spaces, but they are a key part of the natural ecosystem in woodlands, as well as being an important wood crop in several countries. Although the sugar maple in North America, which produces maple juice, is not endangered, two of the closest relatives to the species are endangered.
The report notes that conserving at-risk species in their natural habitat is the best conservation tactic. But collections in botanical gardens and seed banks-called "ex situ collections" can act as insurance policies against extinction. There are currently 14 species of maple, including four that are critically endangered, which are absent from these types of collections.
One species in Mexico, the Acer binzayedii, is in “desperate need of conservation"”despite only being discovered in 2017. “It is at risk from climate change in its cloud forest habitat and threatened by logging and forest fires while it is also absent from 'ex situ collections',” the report adds. The report recommends developing conservation plans, monitoring species currently not at risk to ensure populations are maintained, and adding those missing maple species to seed banks.
28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Action to protect maple trees. B. The dangerous situation of maple trees.
C. Various maple trees' habitats in the world. D. The conditions for diversity in maple trees.
29. What do the field maple and the sugar maple have in common
A. They cannot produce juice. B. They are found in America.
C. They are not at risk of extinction. D. They have two endangered relatives.
30. What does the underlined word “tactic” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Topic. B. Approach. C. Result. D. Conclusion.
31. What's the main purpose of the report
A. To offer a proposal. B. To recommend a product.
C. To introduce maple species. D. To warn people of disasters.
D
When you hear the beginning of your favorite song from the radio, suddenly your neck is covered in goose bumps.
It's such a thing that a group of scientists call “skin excitement”—a feeling of cold caused not by a drop in temperature or sudden scare, but by the sense of beauty. “Skin excitement” can come from a song, a painting, a moving movie scene, or even a beloved memory-pretty much anything that causes the giving out of pleasure-soaked dopamine in your brain. But it does not come for all of us.
Your favorite music uncovers a lot about your personality，and so does how you respond to that music. Studies suppose that as few as 55 percent of people experience “skin excitement” when listening to music. And if you count yourself among this group, the goose bumps on your skin aren't the only giveaway—scientists can read it in your brain, too. In a new study published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, Harvard researchers performed brain scans on 10 students who said they reliably got cold when listening to music, and 10 students who didn't. They found that the cold-prone brains may really be excited by stronger emotions.
Cold-prone brains are generally more likely to show stronger emotional intelligence than no-cold brains. Cold-prone minds tend to have unusual active imagination, reflect more deeply on their emotions, and appreciate nature and the beauty of music and art to a stronger degree than no-cold brains.
So, what type of music causes the chills It seems that the type is not so important; participants in the new study reported getting cold from songs of every kind. And any song connected with a strong emotional memory of the listener can produce the most reliable results. For me, that's the song Sailing to Philadelphia by Mark Knopfler, which I listened to as a kid in the car with my dad, on the way to the summer camp.
32. What can we learn about “skin excitement” in the text
A. It helps to produce doparmine. B. It is caused by the pain in the skin.
C. It can be experienced by every music listener. D. It is the human body's reaction to something nice.
33. What does the new study by Harvard researchers mainly find
A. The percentage of music lovers in students
B. The solutions to the goose bumps on one's skin.
C. The differences between cold-prone and no-cold brains.
D. The relationship between one's music preference and personality.
34. What are people with cold-prone brains like
A. Beautiful and intelligent. B. Emotional and dishonest.
C. Imaginative and sensitive. D. Brave and strong-minded.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Responses to Music Vary among People B. A Feeling of Cold Is Caused by Horrible Music
C. Your Favorite Music Reveals Your Personality D. Favorite Music May Bring Forth Goose Bumps

Modern Cities on Ancient Ruins
All around the world, some cities were built on top of ancient ruins. The presence of ancient ruins in a city not only adds reputation but also increases the economy. Here are four modern cities built on ancient ruins.
Seoul, South Korea
Seoul is currently the largest city in South Korea, whose history goes back almost 2000 years. While Seoul is considered a very modern city, the ancient city wall can still be found in its very center. The wall, which was built to protect the city from enemies, dates back to the early 1300s.

During his second year in college, Ben took a few business classes. They got his head spinning with ideas to start his own business. He started by thinking about things he liked. First, it was clothing. Then coffee. He thought about opening up a coffee shop. But both ideas seemed too hard and costly.
Some might give up right there and keep going about their regular life. But Ben is different. He kept thinking and came up with the idea of selling his own brand of coffee. He felt like there was potential to do this without too much money or risk. He didn't give up. So he took to the Internet and started doing research. He eventually found a coffee bean supplier. He learned about all of the legal affairs of starting a business. It all seemed daunting（令人气馁的）but he stuck to it.
After setting up his business and starting to order coffee he began testing different versions with his friends and family. He got feedback and improved his product. He appropriately named his company Clouds Coffee Company. He had a little bit of savings from his birthdays but that was far away from starting a business. So, he traded with an advertising designer to help him with his naming, logo, product pictures, photography, and website design. In return, he would supply him with coffee in exchange for his design talent!"
Ben received great support from his tutor, Clyde Rucker, a very successful businessman and best friend of his grandparents.

Job interviews are rarely fun, especially when you are young, about which I have deep feelings. I will never forget the opening question in my first interview for the Financial Times:"So, apart from the week before your interview, do you ever actually read the FT "
Young jobseekers today face a different but no less difficult challenge. They find themselves smiling anxiously into their laptop cameras, answering questions as a timer ticks down with no human to interact with at all, which is equally boring.
Large employers are using these "asynchronous（异步的） video interviews" （AVIs）to narrow down job applicants to a smaller pool they can meet in person. Platforms such as HireVue and Modern Hire record applicants answering pre-determined questions, usually with a time limit for each answer. In some cases, the recordings will be watched by the employer's hiring managers. In others, the platform's algorithms（算法） will assess the candidates based on what they said or even their facial expressions.
These interviews can be done cheaply and massively; one grocery chain in the US was gathering as many as 15, 000 per day during the pandemic, according to HireVue. The platforms say the process is fairer than human recruiters（招聘人员）, leading to better and more diverse candidates making the cut.
But employers need to pay more attention to how the process affects potential employees. Researchers at the University of Sussex Business School, in association with the Institute for Employment Studies, have warned that young jobseekers feel confused and exhausted by automated recruitment systems.
Employers suffer the loss too. AVIs select for people who can talk into air, not people who can interact well with others, though the latter is more important in most jobs. What's more, an interview is a company's first real interaction with potential employees, some of whom it will want to hire. It should be a chance for both sides to learn about each other.
28. Why does the author mention his first job interview experience
A. To make young jobseekers confident.
B. To show the boredom of job interviews.
C. To indicate the difficulty in job seeking.
D. To prove that he was superior to others.
29. What's paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The use of AVs. B. The advantages of AVIs.
C. Introduction to brand platforms. D. Roles of AVIs and hiring managers.
30. What does the underlined phrase "making the cut" in paragraph 4 mean
A. Going backdoor. B. Spending less. C. Being chosen. D. Being interviewed.
31. What's the author's attitude towards AVIs
A. Disgusted. B. Tolerant. C. Supportive. D. Cautious.
D
There's nothing better than a walk in the countryside for refreshing ourselves. Connecting with wooded nature has been proven to help our mental and physical health. For some, the best thing is to wander through a forest, but as we admire the trees that surround us, it's worth knowing these trees are doing more than just being nice things to look at.
We're also aware of trees' functions of improving environment—they produce oxygen and clean the air we breathe by absorbing about a quarter of all human-caused carbon dioxide emissions（排放）. Deforestation isn't helping with this, which is why so many people want to save them. But there's more to these impressive forms of plants than we might think. Researchers have discovered evidence that proves they are actually intelligent.
It's thought that trees talk and share resources right under our feet, using a fungal（真菌的） network. Under the ground are tree roots, and mixed among them, along with bacteria, are thousands of superfine threads of fungi, known as hyphae. And research has shown that they are all interconnected. They can help each other by sharing nutrients, and they can even warn of approaching dangers. Scientists say it's like the trees are talking to one another.
Ecologist Suzanne Simard has called this network the Wood Wide Web. She discovered that parent trees use this network to help their seedlings（幼苗）. "We found that the parent trees would favour their own seedlings versus the strangers, by sending them more nutrients, "she spoke to the BBC. She also found that trees are smart enough to change their behaviour and have managed to adapt and survive in a changing environment.
So it seems trees really are the stars of our natural world, and with a huge number of them on our planet, it's time to show them some respect if we want them to boom.
32. In what aspects do trees benefit us according to the text
A. Intelligence and education. B. Health and environment.
C. Working and living conditions. D. Tourism and construction.
33. What plays a key role in trees' communication
A. Interconnection of fungi threads. B. Waving of tree leaves.
C. Mixing of roots. D. Combination of bacteria.
34. What can we know about parent trees according to Suzanne Simard
A. They send nutrients to their own seedlings only.
B. They help their seedlings to compete with others.
C. They also feed seedlings that are not their own.
D. They build the network to raise the young all day.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Stars of Our Planet B. Unknown Benefits of Trees
C. Survival of the Fittest D. Lovely Smart Trees

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述北极海冰的融化导致一种致命病毒在海洋哺乳动物中的传播，并且随着气候变化的增加，这种病毒的传播也可能会增加。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第一段The decline in sea ice seen in the Arctic in recent decades has been linked by scientists to the spread of a deadly virus in marine (海洋的) mammals. Researchers found that Phocine distemper virus (PDV) had spread from animals in the North Atlantic to populations in the North Pacific. 近几十年来，北极海冰的减少与一种致命病毒在海洋哺乳动物中的传播有关。 研究人员发现，Phocine distemper病毒(PDV)已从北大西洋的动物传播到北太平洋的种群。根据上文说主要在海洋哺乳动物中传播，由此可以推断本句populations就是海洋哺乳动物，故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the ice has been retreating by around 12% per decade between 1979 and 2018. 根据政府间气候变化专门委员会(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)的数据， 从1979年到2018年，冰层以每10年约12%的速度消融，由此可知本段的数据统计都是关于海冰减少的。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段Melting sea ice is now connecting marine mammals, like these Steller sea lions, which were formerly separated by ice . “As animals move and come in contact with other species, they carry opportunities to introduce and catch new infectious disease, with potentially destructive effects.” said author Dr Tracey Goldstein, from the University of California, Davis. 融化的海冰现在连接着海洋哺乳动物，像这些虎头海狮，它们以前被冰隔开。他说： “当动物迁徙并与其他物种接触时，它们就有机会引入并感染新的传染病，这可能会带来破坏性的影响。”来自加州大学戴维斯分校的特蕾西·戈尔茨坦博士说。由此可推断，本段在试图告诉我们融化的海冰是怎样同病毒传播连接的，故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章主要讲述北极海冰的融化与一种致命病毒在海洋哺乳动物中的传播有关，并且随着气候变化的增加，这种病毒的传播也可能会增加。可知文章主题和自然相关，由此推断文章可能来自于报纸上关于自然部分的，故选D。
【点睛】词义猜测题，要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义。因此熟练掌握一些猜词技巧是做好这类题的关键。
1.根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。
2.根据同位关系进行猜测。阅读中出现的难词有时后面紧跟一个同位语，对前面的词进行解释，这时可利用同位关系对前面或后面的词义或句意进行猜测。
3.根据构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)进行猜测。在英语中，有很多词可以在前面加前缀，在后面加后缀，从而构成一个词，乍看起来，这个词可能是新词，但掌握了一定的构词知识，就不难猜出它的词义。
4.根据因果关系进行猜测。在一篇阅读文章中，根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。
5. 根据上下文指代关系进行猜测。文章中的代词it, that, he, him 或them可以指上文提到的人或物，其中it和that还可以指一件事。有时代词指代的对象相隔较远，要认真查找;也有时需要对前面提到的内容进行总结，才能得出代词所指代的事。
6.根据同义关系进行猜测。当词或短语之间有并列连词and 或or时，其连接的两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的，由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域，由此可推知其大致意思。
7.根据转折或对比关系进行猜测.根据上下句的连接词，如but, however, otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别，从而依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。另外，分号也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。
例如小题1中就是根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。根据上文解释可知在海洋哺乳动物中传播，由此可以推断本句populations就是海洋哺乳动物，故选A。
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了倾听的重要性以及如何做个好的倾听者。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段People find phone calls disturbing and ignore voice mail, preferring text or wordless emoji. 人们觉得打电话很烦人，忽视了语音邮件，更喜欢文字或无文字的表情符号。High schools and colleges rarely, if ever, offer classes or activities that teach careful listening. 高中和大学如果有也很少提供课程或活动，教学如何仔细倾听。Traffic noise on city streets and music playing in shops exceed (超过) the volume of normal conversation by as much as 30 decibels (分贝), and can even cause hearing loss. 城市街道上的交通噪音和商店里播放的音乐超过正常谈话的音量30分贝，甚至会造成听力损失。可知，比起打电话，人们更喜欢发短信，学校不教如何倾听，我们周围的噪音淹没了我们的讲话，这三个都是导致不会倾听的因素。D项Our responses to others while listening is different.我们在倾听时对他人的反应是不同的，没有提及。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段After years of studying and consulting, I discovered that listening goes beyond simply hearing what people say. It also involves paying attention to how they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context, and how what they say resonates within you.A lot of listening has to do with how you respond — the degree to which you assist in the clear expression of the other person’s thoughts and in the process, express your own.经过多年学习和咨询，我发现倾听不仅仅是听别人说什么。它还包括关注他们是如何说的，以及他们在说什么的时候做了什么，在什么背景下，以及他们所说是如何引起共鸣的。很多倾听都与你如何回应有关ーー你在多大程度上帮助别人清晰地表达自己的想法，并在此过程中表达自己的想法。可知，作者发现倾听结合了听觉、理解和反应。故选A项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。结合前文The idea is to explore the other person’s point of view这样做的目的是探索别人的观点，后文与前文表达相反含义。不要影响他人，左右他人，推测sway 与influence意思相近。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段We are, each of us, the sum of what we attend to in life. And to listen poorly, selectively or not at all limits your understanding of the world and prevents you from becoming the best you can be.我们每个人都是生活中所关注的事物的总和。而听得不好、有选择性或完全不倾听，会限制你对世界的理解，并阻止你成为最好的自己。可知，作者认为不会倾听会限制对世界的理解。因此判断出，作者最可能同意好的倾听能促进我们对世界的了解。故选B项。

Oscar Valera likes to use 3D printers to build a collection of crafts (模型), but he is now turning his hobby toward the fight against the coronavirus pandemic (新冠大流行).
In just four days, the New Jersey high school teacher has printed and distributed 200 face masks to medical professionals across the country, including Florida and Texas. He is far from done. “One woman told me what you’re doing right now is giving people peace of mind. You’re probably saving lives,” said Valera, who found a mask design posted online.
Demand for face masks, along with N95-masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE) has increased with the surge (大量涌现) of patients infected with the highly infectious virus. That has prompted volunteer 3D printers like Valera to step in to support doctors, nurses and first responders, who are all in danger of contracting the sometimes deadly illness.
In Sunnyvale, California, community workspace nonprofit Maker Nexus has been running its 13 3D printers and three laser cutters (激光切割机) nonstop. The company produced 1,800 masks for local hospitals and now has requests for another 13,000.
Elsewhere in Silicon Valley, more companies are joining in. Fremont-based PrinterPrezz, a 3D-printing medical device contract manufacturer that specializes in metal spinal implants, switched production to printing PPE after getting a request from nearby Washington Hospital Healthcare System.
Snap Lab, a unit of Snap Inc, is also producing face masks to donate to hospitals. In New Jersey, Valera said he will continue to do his part. “I don’t mind doing this,” Valera said. “I just hate the fact that I have.”
4. What do we know about Oscar Valera
A. He is a professional craftsman.
B. He is helping medical worker to save lives.
C. He adopts the online mask design.
D. He is forced to print face masks.
5. How many enterprises are mentioned to help produce medical equipment

C
The decline in sea ice seen in the Arctic in recent decades has been linked by scientists to the spread of a deadly virus in marine (海洋的) mammals. Researchers found that Phocine distemper virus (PDV) had spread from animals in the North Atlantic to populations in the North Pacific.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the ice has been retreating by around 12% per decade between 1979 and 2018. These sea ice changes in September (2018) are likely unprecedented (前所未有的) for at least 1, 000 years. “Between 1979 and 2018, the real proportion (比例) of multi-year ice that is at least five years old has declined by approximately 90%,” the IPCC said in their report on the oceans and the cryosphere (冰冻圈) published in September.
Against this changing background, researchers have investigated the likely spread of the PDV infection, which caused a large number of deaths among harbour seals in the North Atlantic in 2002. Melting sea ice is now connecting marine mammals, like these Steller sea lions, which were formerly separated by ice . “As animals move and come in contact with other species, they carry opportunities to introduce and catch new infectious disease, with potentially destructive effects.” said author Dr Tracey Goldstein, from the University of California, Davis.
The authors warn that this trend could continue as they believe climate driven changes in the Arctic ocean will increase. The opportunities for the spread of PDV will likely grow, with uncertain health outcomes for many species.
8. What does the word “populations” in paragraph 1 refer to
A The marine mammals. B. The people.
C. The virus. D. The land animals.
9. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about
A. The loss of sea ice. B. The formation of sea ice.
C. The effect of sea ice. D. The proportion of sea ice.
10. What does paragraph 3 try to tell us
A How marine mammals adapt to their habitats.
B. How a large number of seals died in the Arctic.
C. How melting ice is linked to the spread of virus.
D. How marine mammals live with the melting ice.
11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Health.
C. Education. D. Nature.
D
When was the last time you listened to someone And when was the last time someone really listened to you I asked people what it meant to be a good listener. The typical response was a blank stare. People had no trouble, however, telling me what it meant to be a bad listener.
Of course, technology plays a role. Social media helps filter out (滤掉) opposing views. People find phone calls disturbing and ignore voice mail, preferring text or wordless emoji. But tech is not the only blame. High schools and colleges rarely, if ever, offer classes or activities that teach careful listening. Traffic noise on city streets and music playing in shops exceed (超过) the volume of normal conversation by as much as 30 decibels (分贝), and can even cause hearing loss.
So how can we reclaim the lost art of listening After years of studying and consulting, I discovered that listening goes beyond simply hearing what people say. It also involves paying attention to how they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context, and how what they say resonates (与. . . 共鸣) within you. It’s not about merely holding your peace while someone holds forth. Quite the opposite. A lot of listening has to do with how you respond — the degree to which you assist in the clear expression of the other person’s thoughts and in the process, express your own.
Good listeners ask good questions. Good questions don’t begin with “Wouldn’t you agree. or “Don’t you think. . . ” and they definitely don’t end with “right ” The idea is to explore the other person’s point of view, not sway it. You also want to avoid asking people personal and evaluating questions. Instead, ask about people’s interests so that they feel more connected than if they spend time together accomplishing a task.
The reward of good listening will almost certainly be more interesting conversations. Attentive listeners receive more information, related details from the speakers, even when the listeners didn’t ask any questions. We are, each of us, the sum of what we attend to in life. And to listen poorly, selectively or not at all limits your understanding of the world and prevents you from becoming the best you can be.
12. Which is NOT mentioned as a factor that contributes to bad Listening
A. People prefer text message to phone calls.
B. Listening skills are not taught in school.
C. The noise around us drowns out our speech.
D. Our responses to others while listening is different.
13. What does the author find about listening
A. Listening combines hearing, understanding and responding.
B. Listening requires the listener to keep in total silence.
C. Listening isn’t just hearing but also predicting questions.
D. Listening is to put your thoughts into other person’s mouth.
14. What does the underlined word “sway” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Influence. B. Stop.
C. Prove. D. Complain.
15 Which of the following will the author most probably agree with
A. Good listeners should express themselves bravely.
B. Good listening promotes our understanding of the world.
C. Good listeners always receive reward from the speakers.
D. Good listening develops people’s interest in private life.

Teachers in poor areas are always being asked to do more with less. They're given smaller budgets and larger tasks in schools that employ fewer teachers and take in more students. But none of these struggles can quite compare to the challenges faced by a computing teacher Akoto in Ghana who teaches his students how to use computers.
Akoto recently posted photos of his classroom, and they've gotten quite a response. Akoto is an information and communication technology (ICT) teacher who has been assigned to teach his students without using an actual computer. So like any good teacher, Akoto teaches them by drawing pictures of a computer on the blackboard.
Akoto recently shared images of one of his computer lessons, in which he can be seen using multi-colored chalk to draw the features of Microsoft Word software on the blackboard. In one of the photos, you can see his students drawing the same images in their notebooks.
One might ask, "Why do they bother to take such a challenging course " But here's the reason: Even though the students at Akoto's school don't have computers, they are still required to pass a national exam that includes a section on computing skills before they move or to high school.
So Akoto does what he needs to do to ensure that his students understand the material He has drawn pictures many times for his students over his six years and just happened to share the pictures this time on Facebook. He says he has his own personal laptop, but it is different from the one Akoto is required to teach. He doesn't bring it to class for fear of confusing the kids with a computer that they have never seen.
The good news is that those Facebook pictures made their way to the right place. Microsoft Africa promised to give him some proper resources. Others also stepped up to the plate and helped out Akoto. NIIT Ghana, an information technology training institution, donated five computers to Akoto's school and one for Akoto himself. A PhD student at the University of Leeds in the U. K. inspired by Akoto also donated a computer.
24. Which of the following best describes the state of Akoto's school
A. Well-funded. B. Underdeveloped. C. Full-equipped. D. Unattended.

C. He is uncertain about its function. D. He is afraid to puzzle his students
27. What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. To stand still is to move back. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Great things can be achieved by joint effort. D. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
C
A shocking news report has revealed that more than one in five species of maple trees faces extinction, warning that 75% of the threatened species are “geographically restricted” in their native regions.
The trees are experiencing a vast decline in habitat, due to urban development, wood harvesting and agricultural expansion. Time is running out for the world's biodiversity. Every recent survey of plants and animals in the wild points to this. This is happening nearly everywhere rarer maples exist. And because of climate change, the narrow habitats that support species at the edges of dry places and at the tops of mountains are quickly disappearing.
The trees can be found in subtropical and tropical regions, as far south as Indonesia. The only species found in the UK, the field maple is not under threat. Not only are the trees a popular attractive feature in parks and public spaces, but they are a key part of the natural ecosystem in woodlands, as well as being an important wood crop in several countries. Although the sugar maple in North America, which produces maple juice, is not endangered, two of the closest relatives to the species are endangered.
The report notes that conserving at-risk species in their natural habitat is the best conservation tactic. But collections in botanical gardens and seed banks-called "ex situ collections" can act as insurance policies against extinction. There are currently 14 species of maple, including four that are critically endangered, which are absent from these types of collections.
One species in Mexico, the Acer binzayedii, is in “desperate need of conservation"”despite only being discovered in 2017. “It is at risk from climate change in its cloud forest habitat and threatened by logging and forest fires while it is also absent from 'ex situ collections',” the report adds. The report recommends developing conservation plans, monitoring species currently not at risk to ensure populations are maintained, and adding those missing maple species to seed banks.
28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Action to protect maple trees. B. The dangerous situation of maple trees.
C. Various maple trees' habitats in the world. D. The conditions for diversity in maple trees.
29. What do the field maple and the sugar maple have in common
A. They cannot produce juice. B. They are found in America.
C. They are not at risk of extinction. D. They have two endangered relatives.
30. What does the underlined word “tactic” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Topic. B. Approach. C. Result. D. Conclusion.
31. What's the main purpose of the report
A. To offer a proposal. B. To recommend a product.
C. To introduce maple species. D. To warn people of disasters.
D
When you hear the beginning of your favorite song from the radio, suddenly your neck is covered in goose bumps.
It's such a thing that a group of scientists call “skin excitement”—a feeling of cold caused not by a drop in temperature or sudden scare, but by the sense of beauty. “Skin excitement” can come from a song, a painting, a moving movie scene, or even a beloved memory-pretty much anything that causes the giving out of pleasure-soaked dopamine in your brain. But it does not come for all of us.
Your favorite music uncovers a lot about your personality，and so does how you respond to that music. Studies suppose that as few as 55 percent of people experience “skin excitement” when listening to music. And if you count yourself among this group, the goose bumps on your skin aren't the only giveaway—scientists can read it in your brain, too. In a new study published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, Harvard researchers performed brain scans on 10 students who said they reliably got cold when listening to music, and 10 students who didn't. They found that the cold-prone brains may really be excited by stronger emotions.
Cold-prone brains are generally more likely to show stronger emotional intelligence than no-cold brains. Cold-prone minds tend to have unusual active imagination, reflect more deeply on their emotions, and appreciate nature and the beauty of music and art to a stronger degree than no-cold brains.
So, what type of music causes the chills It seems that the type is not so important; participants in the new study reported getting cold from songs of every kind. And any song connected with a strong emotional memory of the listener can produce the most reliable results. For me, that's the song Sailing to Philadelphia by Mark Knopfler, which I listened to as a kid in the car with my dad, on the way to the summer camp.
32. What can we learn about “skin excitement” in the text
A. It helps to produce doparmine. B. It is caused by the pain in the skin.
C. It can be experienced by every music listener. D. It is the human body's reaction to something nice.
33. What does the new study by Harvard researchers mainly find
A. The percentage of music lovers in students
B. The solutions to the goose bumps on one's skin.
C. The differences between cold-prone and no-cold brains.
D. The relationship between one's music preference and personality.
34. What are people with cold-prone brains like
A. Beautiful and intelligent. B. Emotional and dishonest.
C. Imaginative and sensitive. D. Brave and strong-minded.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Responses to Music Vary among People B. A Feeling of Cold Is Caused by Horrible Music
C. Your Favorite Music Reveals Your Personality D. Favorite Music May Bring Forth Goose Bumps

Modern Cities on Ancient Ruins
All around the world, some cities were built on top of ancient ruins. The presence of ancient ruins in a city not only adds reputation but also increases the economy. Here are four modern cities built on ancient ruins.
Seoul, South Korea
Seoul is currently the largest city in South Korea, whose history goes back almost 2000 years. While Seoul is considered a very modern city, the ancient city wall can still be found in its very center. The wall, which was built to protect the city from enemies, dates back to the early 1300s.

During his second year in college, Ben took a few business classes. They got his head spinning with ideas to start his own business. He started by thinking about things he liked. First, it was clothing. Then coffee. He thought about opening up a coffee shop. But both ideas seemed too hard and costly.
Some might give up right there and keep going about their regular life. But Ben is different. He kept thinking and came up with the idea of selling his own brand of coffee. He felt like there was potential to do this without too much money or risk. He didn't give up. So he took to the Internet and started doing research. He eventually found a coffee bean supplier. He learned about all of the legal affairs of starting a business. It all seemed daunting（令人气馁的）but he stuck to it.
After setting up his business and starting to order coffee he began testing different versions with his friends and family. He got feedback and improved his product. He appropriately named his company Clouds Coffee Company. He had a little bit of savings from his birthdays but that was far away from starting a business. So, he traded with an advertising designer to help him with his naming, logo, product pictures, photography, and website design. In return, he would supply him with coffee in exchange for his design talent!"
Ben received great support from his tutor, Clyde Rucker, a very successful businessman and best friend of his grandparents. Many others in the community supported Ben in his earliest day, trying to help him succeed at such a young age. They were inspired by his activeness and energy. And his good coffee!
Ben Cloud is a fantastic example of a young person struggling to become the best version of himself.

Job interviews are rarely fun, especially when you are young, about which I have deep feelings. I will never forget the opening question in my first interview for the Financial Times:"So, apart from the week before your interview, do you ever actually read the FT "
Young jobseekers today face a different but no less difficult challenge. They find themselves smiling anxiously into their laptop cameras, answering questions as a timer ticks down with no human to interact with at all, which is equally boring.
Large employers are using these "asynchronous（异步的） video interviews" （AVIs）to narrow down job applicants to a smaller pool they can meet in person. Platforms such as HireVue and Modern Hire record applicants answering pre-determined questions, usually with a time limit for each answer. In some cases, the recordings will be watched by the employer's hiring managers. In others, the platform's algorithms（算法） will assess the candidates based on what they said or even their facial expressions.
These interviews can be done cheaply and massively; one grocery chain in the US was gathering as many as 15, 000 per day during the pandemic, according to HireVue. The platforms say the process is fairer than human recruiters（招聘人员）, leading to better and more diverse candidates making the cut.
But employers need to pay more attention to how the process affects potential employees. Researchers at the University of Sussex Business School, in association with the Institute for Employment Studies, have warned that young jobseekers feel confused and exhausted by automated recruitment systems.
Employers suffer the loss too. AVIs select for people who can talk into air, not people who can interact well with others, though the latter is more important in most jobs. What's more, an interview is a company's first real interaction with potential employees, some of whom it will want to hire. It should be a chance for both sides to learn about each other.
28. Why does the author mention his first job interview experience
A. To make young jobseekers confident.
B. To show the boredom of job interviews.
C. To indicate the difficulty in job seeking.
D. To prove that he was superior to others.
29. What's paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The use of AVs. B. The advantages of AVIs.
C. Introduction to brand platforms. D. Roles of AVIs and hiring managers.
30. What does the underlined phrase "making the cut" in paragraph 4 mean
A. Going backdoor. B. Spending less. C. Being chosen. D. Being interviewed.
31. What's the author's attitude towards AVIs
A. Disgusted. B. Tolerant. C. Supportive. D. Cautious.
D
There's nothing better than a walk in the countryside for refreshing ourselves. Connecting with wooded nature has been proven to help our mental and physical health. For some, the best thing is to wander through a forest, but as we admire the trees that surround us, it's worth knowing these trees are doing more than just being nice things to look at.
We're also aware of trees' functions of improving environment—they produce oxygen and clean the air we breathe by absorbing about a quarter of all human-caused carbon dioxide emissions（排放）. Deforestation isn't helping with this, which is why so many people want to save them. But there's more to these impressive forms of plants than we might think. Researchers have discovered evidence that proves they are actually intelligent.
It's thought that trees talk and share resources right under our feet, using a fungal（真菌的） network. Under the ground are tree roots, and mixed among them, along with bacteria, are thousands of superfine threads of fungi, known as hyphae. And research has shown that they are all interconnected. They can help each other by sharing nutrients, and they can even warn of approaching dangers. Scientists say it's like the trees are talking to one another.
Ecologist Suzanne Simard has called this network the Wood Wide Web. She discovered that parent trees use this network to help their seedlings（幼苗）. "We found that the parent trees would favour their own seedlings versus the strangers, by sending them more nutrients, "she spoke to the BBC. She also found that trees are smart enough to change their behaviour and have managed to adapt and survive in a changing environment.
So it seems trees really are the stars of our natural world, and with a huge number of them on our planet, it's time to show them some respect if we want them to boom.
32. In what aspects do trees benefit us according to the text
A. Intelligence and education. B. Health and environment.
C. Working and living conditions. D. Tourism and construction.
33. What plays a key role in trees' communication
A. Interconnection of fungi threads. B. Waving of tree leaves.
C. Mixing of roots. D. Combination of bacteria.
34. What can we know about parent trees according to Suzanne Simard
A. They send nutrients to their own seedlings only.
B. They help their seedlings to compete with others.
C. They also feed seedlings that are not their own.
D. They build the network to raise the young all day.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Stars of Our Planet B. Unknown Benefits of Trees
C. Survival of the Fittest D. Lovely Smart Trees

【点睛】词义猜测题，要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义。因此熟练掌握一些猜词技巧是做好这类题的关键。
1.根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。
2.根据同位关系进行猜测。阅读中出现的难词有时后面紧跟一个同位语，对前面的词进行解释，这时可利用同位关系对前面或后面的词义或句意进行猜测。
3.根据构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)进行猜测。在英语中，有很多词可以在前面加前缀，在后面加后缀，从而构成一个词，乍看起来，这个词可能是新词，但掌握了一定的构词知识，就不难猜出它的词义。
4.根据因果关系进行猜测。在一篇阅读文章中，根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。
5. 根据上下文指代关系进行猜测。文章中的代词it, that, he, him 或them可以指上文提到的人或物，其中it和that还可以指一件事。有时代词指代的对象相隔较远，要认真查找;也有时需要对前面提到的内容进行总结，才能得出代词所指代的事。
6.根据同义关系进行猜测。当词或短语之间有并列连词and 或or时，其连接的两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的，由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域，由此可推知其大致意思。
7.根据转折或对比关系进行猜测.根据上下句的连接词，如but, however, otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别，从而依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。另外，分号也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。
例如小题1中就是根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。根据上文解释可知在海洋哺乳动物中传播，由此可以推断本句populations就是海洋哺乳动物，故选A。
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了倾听的重要性以及如何做个好的倾听者。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段People find phone calls disturbing and ignore voice mail, preferring text or wordless emoji. 人们觉得打电话很烦人，忽视了语音邮件，更喜欢文字或无文字的表情符号。High schools and colleges rarely, if ever, offer classes or activities that teach careful listening. 高中和大学如果有也很少提供课程或活动，教学如何仔细倾听。Traffic noise on city streets and music playing in shops exceed (超过) the volume of normal conversation by as much as 30 decibels (分贝), and can even cause hearing loss. 城市街道上的交通噪音和商店里播放的音乐超过正常谈话的音量30分贝，甚至会造成听力损失。可知，比起打电话，人们更喜欢发短信，学校不教如何倾听，我们周围的噪音淹没了我们的讲话，这三个都是导致不会倾听的因素。D项Our responses to others while listening is different.我们在倾听时对他人的反应是不同的，没有提及。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段After years of studying and consulting, I discovered that listening goes beyond simply hearing what people say. It also involves paying attention to how they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context, and how what they say resonates within you.A lot of listening has to do with how you respond — the degree to which you assist in the clear expression of the other person’s thoughts and in the process, express your own.经过多年学习和咨询，我发现倾听不仅仅是听别人说什么。它还包括关注他们是如何说的，以及他们在说什么的时候做了什么，在什么背景下，以及他们所说是如何引起共鸣的。很多倾听都与你如何回应有关ーー你在多大程度上帮助别人清晰地表达自己的想法，并在此过程中表达自己的想法。可知，作者发现倾听结合了听觉、理解和反应。故选A项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。结合前文The idea is to explore the other person’s point of view这样做的目的是探索别人的观点，后文与前文表达相反含义。不要影响他人，左右他人，推测sway 与influence意思相近。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段We are, each of us, the sum of what we attend to in life. And to listen poorly, selectively or not at all limits your understanding of the world and prevents you from becoming the best you can be.我们每个人都是生活中所关注的事物的总和。而听得不好、有选择性或完全不倾听，会限制你对世界的理解，并阻止你成为最好的自己。可知，作者认为不会倾听会限制对世界的理解。因此判断出，作者最可能同意好的倾听能促进我们对世界的了解。故选B项。
