一、阅读理解
Despite earning more than ﹩100,000 in household income, many people feel that they are living month to month and that sudden medical emergency could easily move them from the upper middle class to low income earners. This feeling, despite these levels of income, seems a bit unbelievable. Let's take a deeper look at the phenomenon(现象).
Even in today's tough economy, for those with six-figure incomes credit(贷款)is easy to come by. Credit companies may have cut back offerings to those in lower income brackets (等级) due to the recent credit reforms, but there seems to be little or no effect on high income earners. Their being able to get credit without difficulty gives them a false sense of security that makes them spend way more than their incomes can afford. That's why they are in credit card debt faster than average.
Some higher income professionals feel like they are making lots of money now, and believe that they will continue to make big money. This may reduce their feeling that they need to watch their money carefully now. Hand in hand with that, many of them probably believe that they are making more money than they really are - or said another way, the money they make will go farther than it really does.
Meanwhile, many young professionals who are earning good incomes don't come from particularly advantaged backgrounds, and their reference point may be that they are making twice (or more) than their parents were---so they spend like that as well. They don't take account of the effect of inflation (通货膨胀),which means that the cost of living is much higher than that in their parents' generation. Further, the more you earn, the more you pay in tax. Rather than focusing on after-tax incomes, many high income earners only look at the top line figures. A ﹩100,000 income before tax is only about ﹩70,000 after tax.
1、What is the first paragraph intended to
A.Introduce the understanding of high income. B.Confirm a strange phenomenon.
C.Stress the inconvenience brought by illnesses. D.Lead to the topic of feeling poor.
2、What is the second paragraph mainly about
A.Lack of real security. B.Easy access to credit.
C.The successful credit reforms D.Their advantaged backgrounds.
3、Why do some professionals spend beyond their income
A.Their money goes farther than it really does. B.They fail to make more money like before.
C.They misunderstand their incomes. D.They are often in credit card debt.
4、What does the author intend to remind young professionals about in the end
A.They should work harder to pay more taxes.
B.They need to turn to their parents for help.
C.They should keep their mind when faced with poverty.
D.They need to look at the present rather than look back.
With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation(孤独), more families are choosing to live together.
The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least, leads straight to his mother-in-law: she lives on the ground floor, while he live supstairs with his wife and their two daughters.
Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol—one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof. They share a front door and a washing machine, but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor.
"We floated the idea to my mum of sharing a house," says Kathryn Whitehead. Rita cuts in: "We spoke more with Nick because I think it's a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law."
And what does Nick think "From my standpoint, it all seems to work very well. Would I recommend it Yes, I think I would."
It's hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time. Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2001 to 419,000 in 2013.
Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common. Some people live with their elderly parents; many more adult children are returning to the family home, if they ever left. It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents, compared with 16% in 1991. The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.
Stories like that are more common in parts of the world where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted. In India, particularly outside cities, young women are expected to move in with their husband's family when they get married.
5、Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol
A.Nick. B. Rita. C.Kathryn. D. The daughters.
6、What is Nick's attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in-law
A. Positive. B. Carefree. C. Tolerant. D.Unwilling.
7、What is the author's about statement multigenerational family based on
A.Family traditions. B. Financial reports.
C.Published statistics. D. Public opinions.
8、What is the text mainly about
A. Lifestyles in different countries. B. Conflicts between generations.
C. A housing problem in Britain. D. A rising trend of living in the UK.
Dive into the classical world via the remains of an ancient merchant ship that dates all the way back to 5 BC as Greece is constructing its first underwater museum.
Some of Greece’s vast heritage of ancient shipwrecks are accessible to the public (divers and non-divers) for the first time ever in a series of underwater museums. The first opened on August 3, allowing visitors to explore the “Peristera shipwreck”, which has been at the bottom of the Aegean Sea for more than two thousand years after it sank in the 5th century BC near the northern Greek island of Alonissos. Since a fisherman discovered the ship in 1985, it has remained off-limits to the public but now visitors can explore it by sea or by virtual reality.
Researchers believe it’s the most important shipwreck from the classical era. It had been believed that a trading ship of that type didn’t exist until the Roman era some 400 years later. So when it was discovered years ago, it completely changed our understanding of shipbuilding in the ancient world.
Experts have yet to determine how or why it sank although there are some indications that a fire may have broken out. It’s believed that it was carrying 4, 000 vases of wine when it sank, most of which are still lying on the seabed, along with fishes and some little creatures who now call it home.
Greece had banned diving until 2004 or so, due to worries that undersea ancient heritage would be taken away but now the country is wholeheartedly hugging its rich underwater heritage. Access to the Peristera shipwreck is available through a new project that will create underwater museums across the Greek islands over the next two years. Divers will be able to tour the shipwreck with licensed guides and non-divers can feel like they’re underwater with virtual reality information centres on land.

A new exhibition celebrates the life of Florence Nightingale, an English woman whose ideas about cleanliness are vital to this day.
The exhibit can be seen at the Florence Nightingale Museum at St Thomas' Hospital in London. It marks the 200th anniversary(周年纪念日) of Nightingale's birth. The exhibit tells the story of how she overcame difficulties to become the world's most famous nurse. The show recreates her bedroom and lets visitors hear a recording of her voice, and even smell the perfume she wore. Fiona Hibberts is a nursing consultant and works for the hospital's Nightingale Academy. She described Nightingale's work as "really, really significant" to future generations. "Obviously, she was a forceful leader," Hibberts said. "And we need clear, visible, strong leadership today and certainly in modern nursing."
The exhibition, called "Nightingale in 200 Objects, People & Places", will continue for a year. St Thomas' is one of a small number of hospitals in Britain with an area for the treatment of coronavirus patients. "The emphasis on good hygiene(卫生), fresh air, exercise, good food...no matter how much we advance, those fundamental principles of Florence are still very much the basis of modern nursing," Hibberts noted. She added, "It's the same old message: Wash your hands."
Nightingale became world famous after she and a small team of medical workers travelled to modern-day Istanbul during the Crimean War. It was fought mainly on the Crimean Peninsula in the middle of the 1850s. Nightingale helped treat British soldiers wounded in the fighting. In an unclean hospital, she witnessed thousands of soldiers die from infectious diseases. Their deaths led to her decision to try to improve conditions. The lamp she used when visiting patients at night, as well as the nurses' uniform she created, is on display at the exhibition. Yvonne Moores is Chair of the Florence Nightingale Foundation and Britain's former national Chief Nursing Officer. "If Florence Nightingale herself was here, she would be supporting all that is being said at the moment. She was absolutely into infection control and hand-washing, being very observant."

B. An exhibition celebrating the life of Florence Nightingale.
C. An appeal to the British for frequent visits to the exhibition.
D. The difficulties Nightingale Florence overcame to be a nurse.
14、What are people most likely to learn about Nightingale from the exhibition

Finding a suitable name for a baby is a big deal in China. When picking out a Chinese name, parents usually select two or three characters that have a carefully thought-out meaning, but when deciding on an English name, many of them struggle. That's where Jessup and her company, Special Name, come in. In the last few years, Jessup has helped name 677,900 Chinese babies, and earned over $400,000 in the process, more than enough to pay her college fees.
Jessup came up with the idea for Special Name in 2015, after accompanying her father on a business trip to China. One of her dad's business partners, a Mrs Wang, asked her to help choose an English name for her daughter. Jessup felt honoured and quickly realised the importance of choosing a proper name in Chinese culture. The woman wanted people to be surprised by the things her daughter could achieve, so Jessup suggested the name "Eliza" after the character Eliza Doolittle from the play Pygmalion. Mrs Wang seemed delighted with Jessup's choice. "If Mrs Wang needed this service, maybe other parents would as well," Jessup thought.
After returning to UK, Jessup borrowed 1,500 from her parents and paid a web designer to build a website. She then spent her free time filling up a database with around 4,000 English names, associating them with five major characteristics, like honesty and optimism.
In the beginning, Jessup offered the service for free to promote the website, but later, she started charging fees. The business is almost completely self-sufficient, requiring only a small team in China that manages the technical operation. She updates the database each month, allowing her to focus full-time on her studies.
16、What's the purpose of Special Name
A.To help Chinese teens go abroad.
B.To strengthen children's personalities.
C.To pick an English name for a Chinese baby.
D.To make a deal with Chinese parents.
17、What inspired Jessup to set up Special Name
A.A suggestion from a business partner. B.Her interest in Chinese culture.
C.A Chinese mother's request. D.A character from a play.
18、What did Mrs Wang want her daughter to be in the future
A.A woman with achievements. B.A famous actress.
C.A successful businesswoman. D.A western culture expert.
19、What can we infer from the last paragraph about Special Name
A.It offers a free service. B.It's updated every day.
C.It's operated completely by itself. D.It is easy to manage.

1、答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段"Despite earning more than $ l00,000 in household income,many people feel that they are living month to month and that sudden medical emergency could easily move them from the upper middle class to low-income earners. This feeling,despite these levels of income,seems a bit unbelievable. Let's take a deeper look at the phenomenon.(尽管家庭收入超过十万美元,但许多人觉得他们是在按月生活,突然的医疗紧急情况很容易使他们从中上层阶级变成低收入者。这种感觉,尽管有这些收入水平,似乎有点不可思议。让我们更深入地了解一下这一现象)"可推知,第一段的目的是引出高收入人群仍然感觉自己贫穷的话题。故选D。
2、答案:B
解析:段落大意题。根据第二段"Even in today's tough economy,for those with six- figure incomes credit is easy to come by. Credit companies may have cut back offerings to those in lower income brackets due to the recent credit reforms,but there seems to be little or no effect on high income earners. Their being able to get credit without difficulty gives them a false sense of security that makes them spend way more than their incomes can afford. That's why they are in credit card debt faster than average.(即使在今天艰难的经济中,对于那些拥有六位数收入的人来说,信贷是很容易得到的。由于最近的信贷改革,信贷公司可能已经减少了对低收入阶层的提供,但对高收入者似乎没有什么影响。他们能够毫无困难地获得信贷,给了他们一种虚假的安全感,使他们的消费远远超过他们的收入所能承受的范围。这就是为什么他们的信用卡债务比一般人快)"可知,第二段的主要内容是信贷容易获得。故选B。
3、答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段"Some higher income professionals feel like they are making lots of money now,and believe that they will continue to make big money. This may reduce their feeling that they need to watch their money carefully now. Hand in hand with that,many of them probably believe that they are making more money than they really are- or said another way,the money they make will go farther than it rally does.(一些高收入的专业人士觉得他们现在赚了很多钱,并相信他们会继续赚大钱。这可能会减少他们现在需要小心理财的感觉。与此相伴的是,他们中的许多人可能认为他们赚的钱比实际情况要多或者换句话说,他们赚的钱比实际情况更经花)"可知,有些专业人士花钱超出收入是因为他们误解了自己的收入。故选C。
4、答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中"Meanwhile,many young professionals who are earning good incomes don't come from particularly advantaged backgrounds,and their reference point may be that they are making twice (or more) than their parents were一so they spend like that as well. They don't take account of the effect of inflation,which means that the cost of living is much higher than that in their parents' generation. Further,the more you earn,the more you pay in tax. Rather than focusing on after-tax incomes,many high-income earners only look at the top line figures.(与此同时,许多收入不错的年轻专业人士并不是来自特别优越的背景,他们的参考点可能是他们的收入是他们父母的两倍(或更多),所以他们的花费也-样。他们没有考虑通货膨胀的影响,这意味着生活成本比他们父辈要高得多。此外,你挣得越多,你交的税也越多。许多高收入者只看收入,而不是税后收入)"可推知,作者在文章最后想提醒年轻的专业人士不要把自己的收入与父辈进行比较,不要觉得自己收入很高,要考虑当前的通胀因素和扣税因素,即:年轻的专业人士需要着眼于现在而不是回头看。故选D。
5、答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor”可知,Rita在一楼有自己的厨房、浴室、卧室和客厅。由此可知,Rita在布里斯托尔的维多利亚式住宅中使用一楼。故选B。

The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.”可知,作者关于多世同堂家庭的论述基于发布的统计数据。故选C。
8、答案:D
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段“With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation, more families are choosing to live together.”可知,由于年轻人负担不起离家的费用,而老年人又面临着孤独的风险,越来越多的家庭选择住在一起。所以短文主要讲的是关于英国生活方式的一种上升趋势。故选D。
9、答案:A
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段"Dive into the classical world via the remains of an ancient merchant ship that dates all the way back to 5 BC as Greece is constructing its first underwater museum.(通过一艘可以追溯到公元前5年的古代商船的遗骸潜入古典世界,希腊正在建造它的第一个水下博物馆。)"可知,本文主要介绍了希腊正在筹建第一家水下博物馆。故选A项。

11、答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句"So when it was discovered years ago.it completely changed our understanding of shipbuilding in the ancient world.(所以当它在几年前被发现时,它彻底改变了我们对古代造船的理解。)"可知该发现重要的原因是它完全改变了我们对于远古时代商船建造的错误观点。故选C项。

13、答案:B
解析:主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new exhibition celebrates the life of Florence Nightingale, an English woman whose ideas about cleanliness are vital to this day.(一场新的展览庆祝了英国女性弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔的一生,她关于清洁的观念至今仍是至关重要的。)”可知,这篇文章主要介绍了纪念弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔一生的展览。故选B。

①根据上文“Social anxiety is a common type of anxiety that we deal with every day. Social anxiety disorder can be caused easily, and leaves long-lasting negative effects on us.(社交焦虑是我们每天都会遇到的一种常见的焦虑。社交焦虑障碍很容易引起,并给我们留下长期的负面影响)”可知,本句与上文构成因果关系,指出理解社交焦虑障碍的重要性。故A选项“所以理解它很重要”符合语境,故选A。
②根据上文“The anxiety is made up highly of a fear of being judged negatively.(这种焦虑很大程度上是由对被负面评价的恐惧构成的)”可知,本句承接上文说明焦虑带来的结果:导致频繁逃离社交场合。故D选项“这通常会导致频繁逃离社交场合”符合语境,下文“During the social event that occurs, the sufferers might have trouble trying to continue or start a conversation.

23、答案:①was built ②in ③to walk ④spending ⑤better ⑥hired ⑦but/yet ⑧the ⑨watchtowers ⑩daily
解析:①考查动词的时态和语态及主谓一致。句意为: 它修建于唐朝, 最初是为了保护这座都城, 现在已经被完全修复了。分析句子结构可知, 设空处在句中作谓语; 主语It指代The Xi'an City Wall, 与build之间为被动关系, 应用被动语态; 根据originally及the Tang dynasty可知, build这一动作发生在过去, 应用一般过去时; 主语为It, 谓语动词应用单数形式。故填was built。
②考查介词。句意见上一题解析。表示"在......朝代", 介词要用in。故填in。
③考查非谓语动词。句意为: 走完或者骑行完整整14千米是有可能的。It is possible to do sth.是固定句型, 意为"做某事是有可能的"。故填to walk。
④考查非谓语动词。句意为: 在花了一些时间看完城墙上所有的防御设施后, 我们决定是时候采取一些行动了, 还有什么比在一段历史中骑行更好的呢! After在本句中为介词, 其后接名词、代词或动名词作宾语。故填spending。
⑤考查形容词的比较等级。句意见上一题解析。根据空后的than可知, 此处应用比较级。故填better。
⑥考查动词的时态。句意为: 我们从南门的租赁点租了自行车。根据语境可知, 作者一行人游览西安城墙是过去的经历, 故本句也应用一般过去时。故填hired。
⑦考查连词。句意为: 我的自行车不仅旧还摇摇晃晃, 但是还能骑。分析句子结构可知, 本句存在两个谓语动词was和did, 因此应填入一个连词连接, 设空处前后为转折关系, 故填but/yet。
⑧考查冠词。句意为: 在西安城墙上骑行一周花了我们大约3个小时。all the way为固定搭配, 意为"全程; 一路上"。故填the。
⑨考查名词单复数。句意为: 一般看来, 人们花两个小时就能骑完全程, 但是我们在不同的大门和瞭望塔前都停下来拍照, 或只是观察当地人忙着自己的日常事务。watchtower意为"瞭望塔", 为可数名词, 其前有different修饰, 应用复数形式。故填watchtowers。
⑩考查词性转换。句意见上一题解析。分析句子结构可知, 设空处作定语修饰名词routines, 应用形容词。故填daily。
24、答案:①country's;②oldest;③dates;④when;⑤promoted;⑥were used;⑦to satisfy;⑧an;⑨on;⑩ceremonies
解析:①考查名词所有格。句意:世界上每个国家都有它自己的传统服饰。这些传统服饰展现了该国独特的美学、哲学和社会价值。
②考查形容词最高级。这里指汉服是中国四种传统服饰中最古老的一种。
③考查谓语动词的时态语态。date back to用一般现在时的主动语态就可以表示“追溯到”。
④考查定语从句。先行词为time。关系词在从句中作时间状语,因此用when。
⑤考查过去分词作状语。此处指“被统治阶级采用并大力宣传”。
⑥考查谓语动词的时态语态。根据时间状语in the Han Dynasty 以及主语是复数形式可知,此处应使用一般过去时的被动语态。
⑦考查动词不定式。句意:多年来,它一直在不断变化以适应中国人民的需求。
⑧考查冠词。此处是泛指,又因extremely的首音节为元音,因此填an。
⑨考查介词搭配。on occasionS为固定搭配。
⑩考查名词单复数。由与此并列的festivals可知这里要用复数,应填ceremonies。
