五、阅读理解
A
Beginning 2020, the fifth generation of wireless technology is expected to be widely used throughout the world. The new network, called 5G, promises to give faster speeds and a higher capacity for the use of more devices. However, while some companies are competing to be the first to deliver 5G to the consumer, the environmental influences of the new network are being overlooked.
There is some evidence that the new devices and technologies associated with 5G will be harmful to ecosystems. The main component of the 5G network that will affect the earth's ecosystems is the millimeter waves. The millimeter waves that are being used in developing the 5G network have never been used at such scale(规模) before. Studies have found that there are some harms caused by these new technologies.
The millimeter waves, specifically, had a detrimental effect on birds. In a study, researchers observed that after exposure to radiation from a cell tower for just 5~30 minutes, the eggs of sparrows were disfigured. The disfiguration of birds exposed for such a short amount of time to these frequencies(频率) is significant considering that the new 5G network will have a much higher density(浓度) of base stations(small cells) throughout areas needing connection. The potential dangers of having so many small cells all over areas where birds live could threaten their population's survival.
Additionally, it was found that cellular devices were linked to many disturbances in the ecosystems of bees. In this study, beehives exposed for just ten minutes to 900MHz waves fell victim to colony collapse disorder(蜂群崩坏症候群). Bees are an incredibly important part of the earth's ecosystem. Around one-third of the food produced today is dependent on bees for pollination(授粉), making bees are a vital part of the agricultural system.
The impact that the cell towers have on birds and bees is important to understand, because all ecosystems of the earth are interconnected. If one component of an ecosystem is disrupted the whole system will be affected.
46．What will probably cause the environmental problems with the wide use of 5G network
A．The lack of the density of base stations.
B．The less mature devices and technologies.
C．The lower capacity for the use of devices.
D．The large amount of use of millimeter waves.
47．Which of the following best explains the underlined word "detrimental" in Paragraph 3
A．Important. B．Unknown. C．Harmful. D．Potential.
48．Why are bees important in the earth's ecosystem
A．They play a key role in food production.
B．They can guide some pollinators to work.
C．They are likely to reduce unpleasant noises.
D．They rid disturbances in the agricultural system.
49．What is the best title for the text
A．Should 5G Be Used in the Future B．The Influence of 5G on Ecosystem
C．The Research on 5G Technologies D．How Can Ecosystem Survive 5G
【答案】46．D
47．C
48．A
49．B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了5G网络技术使用的毫米波对环境的破坏，影响了鸟类、蜜蜂等的飞行，从而影响了地球的整个生态系统。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
46．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The millimeter waves that are being used in developing the 5G network have never been used at such scale(规模) before. Studies have found that there are some harms caused by these new technologies.” 用于开发5G网络的毫米波以前从未以如此规模使用过。研究发现，这些新技术造成了一些危害。 可知，5G 网络的问题是大量使用毫米波会影响生态环境。故选D。
47．考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“In a study, researchers observed that after exposure to radiation from a cell tower for just 5~30 minutes, the eggs of sparrows were disfigured.” 在一项研究中，研究人员观察到，麻雀的卵在暴露于基站辐射5~30分钟后外形就会被毁。可推断，毫米波对鸟类有不利影响。画线词的意思与harmful“有害的”的意思最为接近。故选C。
48．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Bees are an incredibly important part of the earth's ecosystem. Around one-third of the food produced today is dependent on bees for pollination(授粉), making bees are a vital part of the agricultural system.” 蜜蜂是地球生态系统中极其重要的一部分。今天生产的食物有三分之一依赖蜜蜂授粉，使得蜜蜂成为农业系统的重要组成部分。 可知，蜜蜂可以授粉，所以它们在食物生产过程中起着重要的作用。故选A。
49．考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的“However，while some companies are competing to be the first to deliver 5G to the consumer, the environmental influences of the new network are being overlooked.” 然而，尽管一些公司正在竞争成为第一个向消费者提供5G的公司，但新网络的环境影响却被忽视了；以及第二段中的“There is some evidence that the new devices and technologies associated with 5G will be harmful to ecosystems.”有证据表明，与5G相关的新设备和技术将对生态系统有害。可知本文主要介绍了 5G 对生态系统的影响。“5G对生态系统的影响”概括较为全面准确。符合语境，故选B。
B
Innovation(创新) comes from environments where ideas can connect. So what kind of environment does an epidemic(传染病) create when it comes to quickening innovation This is the very question a new information chart from Top Masters looks to answer. According to the report, ground- breaking innovations have come despite the tragic effect of epidemics throughout history. This is a timely report because people are coming up with some innovative ideas to address many of the challenges brought on by COVID-19.
As epidemics go, the Black Death of the 1300% was extremely shocking. The plague(瘟疫) as it is also known, wiped out up to 60% of the population in Europe. According to the report, it was responsible for changing the economic and social structure of Europe and the creation of a middle class.
There were other outbreaks of the plague in England later on. In 1592, London faced an outbreak that shut down theaters for six months, This led Shakespeare to start writing poetry to make a living. And it was during this time that he wrote Venus and Adonis, and The Rape of Lucre. Another plague in 1606 also closed the theatres in London, and this time Shakespeare wrote King Lear and Macbeth.
In the US, the Boston smallpox epidemic of 1721 led to the spread of variolation (天花接种) which was responsible for reducing the death rate from 14% to2%, as well as the first steps towards vaccines.
COVID-19 is causing serious damage around the world. And although the death rate is nowhere close, the economic impact has been overwhelming. On the negative side, it has highlighted may of the shortcoming in the healthcare industry as nurses and doctors battled virus unfortunately underequipped.
With increased connectivity and technology, innovators around the world have responded by making the equipment that healthcare workers desperately need Today's innovators are addressing ventilator(呼吸机) shortages by using 3D printers and designing simpler ventilators; companies are making washable and reusable masks; app are tracking the virus and fighting the spread of misinformation.
50．What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A．Epidemics can promote creative ideas.
B．Creative ideas can influence epidemics.
C．Innovation exists in any environment.
D．Epidemics have more negative effects on the environment.
51．According to the passage what effect did epidemics have in history
A．The death rate was decreased.
B．European economy was improved.
C．Shakespeare changed his writing focus.
D．The Boston smallpox killed 14% of the population.
52．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．The COVID- 19 will soon be wiped out.
B．Medical workers are making equipment.
C．Healthcare equipment has been made in large quantities.
D．Innovators rely on technology to solve medical problems.
53．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Epidemics Speed Up Innovation B．Innovation Changes the Economy

And it was during this time that he wrote Venus and Adonis, and The Rape of Lucre. Another plague in 1606 also closed the theatres in London, and this time Shakespeare wrote King Lear and Macbeth.”1592年，伦敦爆发了一场疫情，导致剧院关闭了6个月，这导致莎士比亚开始写诗谋生。正是在这段时间里，他写了《维纳斯与阿多尼斯》和《强暴财主》。1606年的另一场瘟疫也关闭了伦敦的剧院，这一次莎士比亚创作了《李尔王》和《麦克白》。可知，传染病在历史上的影响有让莎士比亚改变了他的写作重点。故选C。

So what kind of environment does an epidemic(传染病) create when it comes to quickening innovation This is the very question a new information chart from Top Masters looks to answer. According to the report, ground- breaking innovations have come despite the tragic effect of epidemics throughout history.”创新来自于思想能够相互联系的环境。那么，传染病在加速创新方面创造了什么样的环境呢？这正是来自顶级大师的新信息图要回答的问题。根据该报告，尽管历史上传染病造成了悲惨的后果，但仍出现了突破性的创新。结合文章主要说明了传染病可以促进创造性想法，并结合历史上传染病暴发对社会结构、文学人物以及疫苗研制几个方面进行了说明。如今面对新冠疫情，创新者依靠技术解决医疗问题。可推知“传染病加速创新”最符合文章标题。故选A。

This week, my social media feed was flooded with pictures of a festival that is typically celebrated in March in Nepal. For me growing up, the festival, which is a Nepalese tradition, had less regional significance and was largely cultural, providing me with a day to play with color and water with my beloved family and friends.
As an international student, being away from home means being disconnected from cultural traditions. While a cultural disconnect is unavoidable, when I see the news headlines or posts that friends share on social media, being ignorant about what's happening back home fills me with penitence. It had been a while since I read articles about what was happening in Nepal. Even catching up with family members and old friends takes weeks to achieve.
In all honesty, I don't know how to do a better job of keeping up to date with everything when focused on classes and work, and adjusting to college life. The news cycles in the US and at home are changing constantly, and can sometimes feel astonishing. But at least here in Rochester, the everyday chat keeps you knowing what's happening outside the campus. Keeping up with news from home, however, requires the extra individual effort I just can't spare time for while dealing with everything else I have to do here.
Talking to other international students, I find the feeling seems to be common for many of us. Maybe that's just the reality of living abroad, and all we can do is our best. But with the opportunity to celebrate the festival away from home with friends at the university and learn to forgive myself for not staying up to date with what's happening in my country, I know what I have at present is exactly what I need to hold and deserves my deep gratefulness.
54．What did the author regard the festival as
A．A connection with her hometown.
B．A chance to have fun with loved ones.
C．A tradition which is long forgotten.
D．A holiday reflecting regional uniqueness.
55．What does the underlined word "penitence" mean in paragraph 2
A．Guilt. B．Hope. C．Admiration. D．Surprise.
56．What mainly caused the author to be disconnected from home
A．Constant changes in Nepal.
B．Lack of channels of getting news.
C．Her tight schedule at school.
D．Different lifestyles at home and abroad.
57．What does the author think of her current life
A．It inspires her to try her best.
B．It should be treasured and appreciated.
C．It needs a change immediately.
D．It's similar to the life of other foreigners.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者是一名留学生，社交媒体上推送的有关故乡传统节日的图片引发了她对国外生活的思考，使其明白了故乡的节日对留学生的意义。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。
54．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“For me growing up, the festival... providing me with a day to play with color and water with my beloved family and friends”在我的成长过程中，这个尼泊尔传统节日的地域意义不大，很大程度上是文化的，让我有一天可以和我爱的家人和朋友一起玩颜色和水。可知，作者将这个节日视为和所爱的家人及朋友一起庆祝、玩乐的日子。故选B。
55．考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“being away from home means being disconnected from cultural traditions.”离家意味着与文化传统脱节；以及画线词所在句中的转折词While和下文提到的作者对故乡关注不够，和家人及朋友联系少，可推断画线词所在句表达的是“虽然文化上的脱节是不可避免的，但当作者看到新闻提要或朋友们在社交媒体上分享的帖子时，她还是会为没有及时了解故乡发生的事情而感到内疚”，故guilt“内疚，悔恨”可解释画线词的意思。故选A。
56．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“I don’t know how to do a better job of keeping up to date with everything when focused on classes and work, and adjusting to college life.”我不知道怎样才能在专注于课堂和工作，适应大学生活的同时，更好地跟上所有事情的进展；以及“Keeping up with news from home, however, requires the extra individual effort I just can’t spare time for while dealing with everything else I have to do here.”然而，了解来自家里的消息需要我额外的个人努力，我无法在处理我必须在这里做的所有其他事情的同时抽出时间。可知，作者因为校园生活太忙而没有时间关注故乡的消息，这导致作者和故乡脱节了。故选C。
57．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“But with the opportunity to celebrate the festival away from home with friends at the university and learn to forgive myself for not staying up to date with what's happening in my country, I know what I have at present is exactly what I need to hold dear and deserves my deep gratefulness.”但是有机会在离家很远的地方和大学里的朋友们一起庆祝这个节日，并学会原谅自己没有跟上国家所发生的事情，我知道我现在所拥有的正是我需要珍惜的，值得我深深的感激。可推知，有机会在大学与朋友一起庆祝节日，并学会原谅自己没有及时了解故乡正在发生的事情让作者知道她目前的生活正是她需要珍惜并深深感激的。 故选B。
D
There's no doubt that our character has a profound effect on our future. What we must remember, however, is not merely how powerful character is in influencing our fate, but how powerful we are in shaping our own character and, therefore, our own fate. Character may determine our fate, but character is not determined by fate.
It's a common mistake to think of character as something that is fully formed and fixed very early in life. It calls to mind old proverbs like "A leopard (猎豹) can't change its spots" and" You can't teach an old dog new tricks. "
This perspective that our character is etched in stone is supported by a great deal of modern psychology emphasizing self-acceptance. As Popeye says," I am what I am." The hidden message is: don't expect me to be more, better, or different.
Ultimately, these views of humanity totally undervalue the lifelong potential for growth that comes with the power of reflection and choice.
How depressing it would be to believe that we can't choose to be better, more honest, more respectful, more responsible, and more caring. None of us should give up the personal seeking to improve our character. Not because we're bad, we don't have to be sick to get better, but because we're not as good as we could be.
There are so many things in life we can't control, whether we're beautiful or smart, whether we had good parents or bad, whether we grew up with affirmation or negation. It's inspiring to remember that nothing but moral will power is needed to make us better.
No, it isn't easy. But if we make a great effort to become more aware of the habits of heart and mind that drive our behavior, we can begin to place new emphasis on our higher values so that we become what we want our children to think we are.
58．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean
A．is carved in the stone with knives.
B．is controlled by oneself.
C．can be better and different.
D．can't be changed easily.
59．Which of the following would the writer agree with
A．A leopard can't change its spots.
B．We must attach importance to self-acceptance.
C．We should value our lifelong potential for growth.
D．We should make choices constantly.
60．What do we need to improve ourselves according to the author
A．Our smartness. B．Our will power.
C．Our fate. D．Our character.
61．What is the best title of the passage
A．Character can be fixed once formed B．Character determines our fate.
C．We shape our own character. D．Changing our character isn't easy.
【答案】58．D
59．C
60．B
61．C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了是我们如何塑造了我们的性格以及人的性格受什么因素的影响。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
58．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“As Popeye says, ‘I am what I am.’ The hidden message is: Don't expect me to be more, better, or different.”可知，这里指的是不要指望我变得更好，更好或不同，也就是说性格很难改变。所以画线部分的意思是性格像刻在石头上一样，很难改变。故选D。
59．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“Ultimately, these views of humanity totally undervalue the lifelong potential for growth that comes with the power of reflection and choice.”最终，这些人性观完全低估了伴随着反思和选择的力量而来的终身成长潜力。可知作者认为我们应该高度的重视我们个人的终身发展。故选C。
60．考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“None of us should give up the personal seeking to improve our character”最终，这些人性观完全低估了伴随着反思和选择的力量而来的终身成长潜力。可推断作者认为人的意志力是需要提高的。故选B。
61．考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知，本文介绍了人们如何塑造自己的性格，故选C。

Beginning 2020, the fifth generation of wireless technology is expected to be widely used throughout the world. The new network, called 5G, promises to give faster speeds and a higher capacity for the use of more devices. However, while some companies are competing to be the first to deliver 5G to the consumer, the environmental influences of the new network are being overlooked.
There is some evidence that the new devices and technologies associated with 5G will be harmful to ecosystems. The main component of the 5G network that will affect the earth's ecosystems is the millimeter waves. The millimeter waves that are being used in developing the 5G network have never been used at such scale(规模) before. Studies have found that there are some harms caused by these new technologies.
The millimeter waves, specifically, had a detrimental effect on birds. In a study, researchers observed that after exposure to radiation from a cell tower for just 5~30 minutes, the eggs of sparrows were disfigured. The disfiguration of birds exposed for such a short amount of time to these frequencies(频率) is significant considering that the new 5G network will have a much higher density(浓度) of base stations(small cells) throughout areas needing connection. The potential dangers of having so many small cells all over areas where birds live could threaten their population's survival.
Additionally, it was found that cellular devices were linked to many disturbances in the ecosystems of bees. In this study, beehives exposed for just ten minutes to 900MHz waves fell victim to colony collapse disorder(蜂群崩坏症候群). Bees are an incredibly important part of the earth's ecosystem. Around one-third of the food produced today is dependent on bees for pollination(授粉), making bees are a vital part of the agricultural system.
The impact that the cell towers have on birds and bees is important to understand, because all ecosystems of the earth are interconnected. If one component of an ecosystem is disrupted the whole system will be affected.
46．What will probably cause the environmental problems with the wide use of 5G network
A．The lack of the density of base stations.
B．The less mature devices and technologies.
C．The lower capacity for the use of devices.
D．The large amount of use of millimeter waves.
47．Which of the following best explains the underlined word "detrimental" in Paragraph 3
A．Important. B．Unknown. C．Harmful. D．Potential.
48．Why are bees important in the earth's ecosystem
A．They play a key role in food production.
B．They can guide some pollinators to work.
C．They are likely to reduce unpleasant noises.
D．They rid disturbances in the agricultural system.
49．What is the best title for the text
A．Should 5G Be Used in the Future B．The Influence of 5G on Ecosystem
C．The Research on 5G Technologies D．How Can Ecosystem Survive 5G

Innovation(创新) comes from environments where ideas can connect. So what kind of environment does an epidemic(传染病) create when it comes to quickening innovation This is the very question a new information chart from Top Masters looks to answer. According to the report, ground- breaking innovations have come despite the tragic effect of epidemics throughout history. This is a timely report because people are coming up with some innovative ideas to address many of the challenges brought on by COVID-19.
As epidemics go, the Black Death of the 1300% was extremely shocking. The plague(瘟疫) as it is also known, wiped out up to 60% of the population in Europe. According to the report, it was responsible for changing the economic and social structure of Europe and the creation of a middle class.
There were other outbreaks of the plague in England later on. In 1592, London faced an outbreak that shut down theaters for six months, This led Shakespeare to start writing poetry to make a living. And it was during this time that he wrote Venus and Adonis, and The Rape of Lucre. Another plague in 1606 also closed the theatres in London, and this time Shakespeare wrote King Lear and Macbeth.
In the US, the Boston smallpox epidemic of 1721 led to the spread of variolation (天花接种) which was responsible for reducing the death rate from 14% to2%, as well as the first steps towards vaccines.
COVID-19 is causing serious damage around the world. And although the death rate is nowhere close, the economic impact has been overwhelming. On the negative side, it has highlighted may of the shortcoming in the healthcare industry as nurses and doctors battled virus unfortunately underequipped.
With increased connectivity and technology, innovators around the world have responded by making the equipment that healthcare workers desperately need Today's innovators are addressing ventilator(呼吸机) shortages by using 3D printers and designing simpler ventilators; companies are making washable and reusable masks; app are tracking the virus and fighting the spread of misinformation.
50．What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A．Epidemics can promote creative ideas.
B．Creative ideas can influence epidemics.
C．Innovation exists in any environment.
D．Epidemics have more negative effects on the environment.
51．According to the passage what effect did epidemics have in history
A．The death rate was decreased.
B．European economy was improved.
C．Shakespeare changed his writing focus.
D．The Boston smallpox killed 14% of the population.
52．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．The COVID- 19 will soon be wiped out.
B．Medical workers are making equipment.
C．Healthcare equipment has been made in large quantities.
D．Innovators rely on technology to solve medical problems.
53．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Epidemics Speed Up Innovation B．Innovation Changes the Economy
C．Epidemics Damage the Environment D．Innovators Prevent COVID-19
