A
What are the best careers for the future Of course, nobody can say for sure what the future holds. The best we can do is make educated guesses based on past and current trends. The occupations below are probably some of the most promising future careers.
1. Organizational disruptor
The expansion of companies often leads to some loss of their innovative ability, which weakens their competitiveness against those more creative start ups. A disruptor would be responsible for promoting creativity, risk taking, cooperation, and innovation, by bringing about some changes that might be wild in an organization.
2. Personal education guide
Compared with online programs today, education could be better able to meet individual needs, even with improved convenience. Like an adviser, a personal education guide may assist people with on demand course selection or the planning of personalized training.
3. Custom body part manufacturer
Doctors may expect custom organs grown or 3D printed using their patients' own cells. After all, scientists' creation of hearts, kidneys, and livers has already had some success in the labs. Even external body parts including skin and ears have been grown.
4. Pharmaceutical artisan(制药师)
The increasing popularity of 3D printing may enable the quick production of customized medications based on individual needs. It's possible that artisanal drugs would be created according to one's unique genes, habits, and medical history.
5. Brain implant specialist
We are making greater progress in understanding how the complex human brain works, so it's highly possible that we would create something amazing by combining the rapid advances in neuroscience with the advantages of computer technology. In the future, one can have a specialized computer chip put into his brain to treat certain health issues, such as diseases, mood disorders, and paralysis.
1. Whom should you contact if you want to train to be more competitive
A. A brain implant specialist.
B. An organizational disruptor.
C. A custom body part manufacturer.
D. A personal education guide.
2. What is the main duty of pharmaceutical artisans
A. To promote 3D printing.
B. To develop personalized medications.
C. To speed up medicine production.
D. To apply technology to tests for diseases.
3. Which of the following words can best describe the future jobs
A. Informative. B. Entertaining.
C. Customer based. D. Labor saving.
B
Nashville, Tennessee is already known to many Americans as Music City, which is famous for country music in the United States and is home to many recording companies. But recently, music recorded for video games, television shows and movies has earned Nashville a new name: Soundtrack(原声音乐) City.
The city is known for very good studio musicians. They work mostly on recordings rather than live performances. Musicians in Nashville have helped to make the soundtracks for some of the most popular video games in the US. These include “Madden”, “FIFA”, “Call of Duty” and “Star Wars”.
Also, more production companies have been bringing their film and TV soundtrack recordings to Nashville, including Netflix, Sony and Focus Features. A program the state of Tennessee established last year gives financial support to companies for doing business in the city.
“Nashville has become one of the major places in the world to record for films, games and television,” Steve Schnur told the Associated Press. He is president of music for Electronic Arts (EA), a video game company. In the past, Schnur worked for MTV and music production companies such as Arista. He also worked as a music supervisor on films before joining EA. For a long time, EA recorded soundtracks for their games with orchestras, or large groups of musicians, in Los Angeles, London and Eastern Europe. That changed about seven years ago when Schnur came to Nashville to record music for a game called “Dragon Age Inquisition”.
“I work with the musicians in Nashville now. They are both fast and skilled,” Schnur added. This proved true even on complex songs written by well known composers such as Hans Zimmer, Lorne Balfe, Jeff Russo and John Debney. The music of video games is often very important to the game play in creating both emotion and attachment to the storyline. Kris Bowers is the remarkable composer behind the award winning film “Green Book”. He came to Ocean Way Nashville Recording Studios and successfully recorded the soundtrack for “Madden NFL 20”.
4. What makes Nashville called Soundtrack City
A. The achievement in soundtrack.
B. The increase in live music performance.
C. The film production.
D. The record of country music.
5. Which of the following is a film and television production company
A. Ocean Way. B. Call of Duty. C. Netflix. D. EA.
6. What does Schnur do now
A. He is a musician from Los Angeles.
B. He is president of the Associated Press.
C. He is a music supervisor on films in Arista.
D. He is a leader recording music for video games in EA.
7. Why does the author mention Kris Bowers in the last paragraph
A. To show the popularity of folk music.
B. To attach importance to video games.
C. To introduce his award winning film.
D. To stress Nashville's musical success.
C
Despite not being documented by researchers since 1968, the sengi(象鼩), a tiny big eyed mouse with a long tail and a trunk like nose that's native to Somalia in Africa, was rediscovered living in well preserved habitat in neighboring Djibouti last year, and in quite healthy numbers.
An exploration beginning in 2019 looked to use local knowledge about the sengi from the people of Djibouti who said it was still there. Sure enough, it took only one trap filled with coconut, peanut butter and yeast to find the little guy.
“It was surprising,” said Steven Heritage, a research scientist at Duke University in the US. “When we opened the first trap and saw the little tuft of hair on the tip of its tail, we just looked at one another and couldn't believe it. A number of small mammal(哺乳动物) surveys since the 1970s did not find the Somali sengi in Djibouti—it was indeed a serendipitous discovery.”
One of the least understood members of the 20 species Elephantulus(象鼩属), the sengi lives in habitats that are unsuitable for most human activities, allowing it to remain relatively undisturbed and safe.
“Usually when we rediscover lost species, we find just one or two individuals and have to act quickly to try to prevent their extinction,” said Robin Moore, of the Global Wildlife Conservation (GWC) group.
The team set 1,000 traps and caught 12 of the little sengis while making the first video and photographic documentation of the animal for science. Along with rediscovering the species, the team gathered DNA samples which later showed the Somali sengi to be more closely related to sengis in other corners of Africa like Morocco and South Africa.
This finding has suggested that the Somali sengi needs to be placed in a new genus—moving from Elephantulus to Galegeeska.
Like all great discoveries in science, the questions answered are only equal to the new mysteries presented, but the researchers' work has highlighted Djibouti as a biodiverse(具有生物多样性的) nation worthy of scientific study. With any luck, perhaps more discoveries are waiting to be made among its desert and salt lakes.
8. What made the finding of the Somali sengi special
A. It was rediscovered by Somalis.
B. It looked surprisingly different.
C. It reappeared in Africa after 53 years.
D. It had become smart enough to avoid being trapped.
9. What does the underlined word “serendipitous” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Unrealistic. B. Scientific.
C. Unreported. D. Accidental.
10. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us
A. How the Somali sengi manages to survive.
B. Why the Somali sengi can live peacefully.
C. How human activities affect the Somali sengi.
D. What environment the Somali sengi should live in.
11. How did the team know the relationships between the Somali sengi and other sengis
A. By doing DNA tests for them. B. By studying their living habits.
C. By comparing their appearances. D. By studying documents about them.
D
French poet Victor Hugo (1802~1885) once said, “To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelt out is a spark.”
Today, when we read books, road signs and posters, it's probably hard to imagine that only half a century ago, about 40 percent of the world's adults were still illiterate, according to data from UNESCO. This means that two out of every five adults could neither read nor write in the 1960s. In other words, the “sparks” that now light up our world failed to do the same for theirs.
In response to this situation, UNESCO decided to name Sept. 8 as International Literacy(读写能力) Day, starting from 1967. Every year, the day is celebrated to stress the importance of literacy and the progress that has been made, which itself is huge—in 2016, the global adult literacy rate rose to 86 percent, while the youth literacy rate was as high as 91 percent, according to UNESCO.
This raises a question: If the mission to promote literacy has basically been accomplished, why do we still celebrate this day
The truth is that the definition of “literacy” keeps changing. For example, the theme for 2007 and 2008 International Literacy Day was “Literacy and health”, which targeted people's ignorance of diseases like HIV and malaria. For 2017, the emphasis was placed on “Literacy in a digital world”, because not knowing anything about the Internet in today's world is just like lacking basic reading abilities in the 1960s—it's the “new illiteracy”.
The focus for this year's International Literacy Day is “Literacy and skills development”. But the skills in question are not job specific skills, such as those required to be an electrician or a chef. Instead, the focus will be on “transferable skills”—communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and creativity, to name a few. These are the things that allow us to do our job well—any job.
12. Why did UNESCO set up International Literacy Day originally
A. To encourage the young people to read more.
B. To help people read books, road signs and posters.
C. To increase literacy rate from 40 percent to 86 percent.
D. To improve people's literacy by stressing its importance.
13. How does the author show the progress in literacy
A. By using figures. B. By giving examples.
C. By asking questions. D. By comparing the details.
14. What will be focused on for this year's International Literacy Day
A. Job specific skills. B. Skills of a chef.
C. Thinking critically. D. Making electricians.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. Achievements in literacy. B. International Literacy Day.
C. The development of UNESCO. D. The reasons to promote literacy.
第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever had someone tell you “If you eat before bed, you are more likely to get fat!”? __16__ This belief originated when researchers found the relation between individuals snacking late at night and having a BMI that categorizes them as obese(肥胖的).
Is eating late at night, especially after 8 pm, really going to make you gain weight One theory is that your metabolism(新陈代谢) slows down when you are asleep. __17__ Thus the calories you eat right before bed would not be burned off as much as they would be while you're awake. Although the science seems pretty sound, recent studies have shown that metabolism changes very little, if at all, while you are asleep. __18__ The heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very active. All of these actions take energy, meaning while we are asleep, we are still burning calories.
__19__ As we know, one physiological effect of insulin(胰岛素) is storing fat. Food being consumed late at night will more likely be stored away due to the higher levels of insulin present in the blood system. However, insulin levels at night are shown to be no different than insulin levels during mid day. If it is true that eating with high insulin levels causes you to gain weight, anyone eating anytime after the morning will become fat.
So how come individuals have higher BMIs when they snack at night It is simply a result of eating too many calories. Snacks that individuals tend to eat during the night are usually high in sugar and calories, such as ice cream, candy, potato chips and soft drinks. Put simply, if you eat more calories than you burn, regardless of the time of the day, you will gain weight. __20__
A. With a slow metabolism, few calories are being burned.
B. While asleep, your body still functions in many ways.
C. All living matter undergoes a process of metabolism.
D. The time these snacks are consumed does not matter.
E. Without ever questioning it, people quickly assume this to be true.
F. Besides, insulin levels are dramatically lower in the morning than at night.
G. Another theory is that late night snacking leads to rising insulin levels.
16. ________ 17. ________ 18. ________ 19. ________ 20. ________

第二节
【文章大意】 本文是说明文。文章通过常听到的一句话“睡前吃东西会胖!”这一观点引出两种理论:1.睡着时,代谢比较慢;2.睡着时,胰岛素分泌较多。最后得出晚上吃零食体重指数会更高是由于摄入太多卡路里,并且和吃零食的时间没有关系。
16. E 上文Have you ever had someone tell you “If you eat before bed, you are more likely to get fat!”?(是否曾有人告诉你“如果你睡前吃东西,你更容易发胖”?)及下文“This belief originated when researchers found the relation between individuals snacking late at night and having a BMI that categorizes them as obese.(当研究人员发现人们在深夜吃零食和体重指数将其归类为肥胖之间的关系时,这一观点就产生了。)”可知,下文所说的“This belief”指的就是前文提出问题之后,所给出的相关肯定或否定的回答。E项中的“Without ever questioning it”就是对上文问题的肯定回答,“people quickly assume this to be true.”和下文用深夜零食和体重指数的关系来解释人们为什么认为这是真的一致。故选E项。
17. A 上文“One theory is that your metabolism(新陈代谢) slows down when you are asleep.(一种理论认为,当你睡着时,你的新陈代谢会减慢。)”以及下文“Thus the calories you eat right before bed would not be burned off as much as they would be while you're awake.(因此,睡前摄入的卡路里不会像清醒时那样被消耗掉。)”可知,设空处用来说明新陈代谢减慢和卡路里之间的关系,起到承上启下的作用。A项前半句“With a slow metabolism”承接上文所讲的新陈代谢减慢,后半句“few calories are being burned”引出下文所说的卡路里。故选A项。
18. B 上文“metabolism changes very little, if at all, while you are asleep(当你睡着的时候,如果有新陈代谢的话,变化也很小)”以及下文“The heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very active.(心脏还在跳动,肺还在工作,大脑仍然非常活跃。)”可知,设空处为睡着时,新陈代谢和身体机能的关系。B项前半句“While asleep”承接上文睡着时这一前提,后半句“your body still functions in many ways.”引出下文各项身体器官的机能。故选B项。
19. G 根据文章行文逻辑及前文已经提及的“One theory is...(一个理论是……)”以及下文“As we know, one physiological effect of insulin is storing fat.(众所周知,胰岛素的一个生理作用是储存脂肪)”说明设空处为另一种和胰岛素相关的理论。G项中“Another theory is...”和上文One theory is 相对应,“that late night snacking leads to rising insulin levels”和下文所提胰岛素和脂肪关系一致。故选G项。
20. D 上文“if you eat more calories than you burn, regardless of the time of the day, you will gain weight(如果你摄入的卡路里比你燃烧的多,不管一天中的哪个时间,你的体重都会增加)”说明卡路里摄入多于燃烧时就会长胖,与摄入时间无关。D项“The time these snacks are consumed does not matter.”与上文一致,说明吃这些零食的时间并不重要。故选D项。

第一节
【文章大意】 这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了得皮肤病的女孩Giorgia积极对抗疾病、战胜歧视的故事,凸显了直面苦难、乐观生活、勇于接受自己的主旨。
21. D 考查动词。句意:它开始出现在她的胳膊上,然后脸上,并继续扩散。flash闪光,掠过;decline下降;bother打扰,扰乱;spread扩散。根据段中“started out on her arms and face”到“cover nearly 97%”可知皮疹扩散、病情恶化了。故选D项。
22. B 考查表语从句。句意:但是对于Giorgia,最痛苦的是仅仅因为她的外表别人就对待她的那种方式。根据下一句“People would stop and stare at her in the street”可知,令Giorgia最痛苦的是别人对待她的方式——停下来盯着她看。所以用能表达方式方法的how引导表语从句,故选B项。
23. A 考查形容词。句意:在街上人们会停下来盯着她看,好像她很令人厌恶。disgusting令人厌恶的;precious珍贵的;interesting有趣的;complex复杂的。根据人们的行为以及“She felt so self conscious”(她感到很难为情)可知,别人对她反应是不好的,故此处应选贬义词,所以用disgusting,表示“令人厌恶的”。故选A项。
24. B 考查动词。句意:她对这样的情况感到如此难为情,以至于它正在毁掉她的生活。因为“self conscious(难为情的)”是消极情绪,所以她的生活应该是受到了消极影响,所以用ruining,表示“正在毁掉”。故选B项。
25. D 考查形容词。句意:那本身对她似乎还不够有压力。dangerous危险的;fantastic幻想的,奇异的;familiar熟悉的;stressful有压力的。根据上下文内容可知,Giorgia脸上有各种皮疹,这个对于她来说够压力大的了,更加令她崩溃的是,她一向关系非常亲密的父亲去世了,故选D项。
26. A 考查名词。句意:她感觉她的世界崩溃了。pieces 碎片;parts部分;bits少量;blocks木块,石块。go to pieces是固定搭配,表示“崩溃,破成碎片”。她父亲去世,Giorgia觉得自己的世界崩塌了。故选A项。
27. C 考查动词。句意:在成长过程中他们关系如此亲密,她难以忍受失去他。根据句中讲到成长过程中他们的关系很亲密可知父亲对她的重要性,所以她难以忍受父亲的离世。故选C项。
28. B 考查名词。句意:她意识到她有选择权,她可以从发生在自己身上的事情中退缩,或者她可以找到爱自己的勇气和自己原本的方式。根据句中“or”连接的两个选项——逃避畏缩与乐观面对,可知她有对生活态度的选择权,所以用choice。故选B项。
29. D 考查名词。句意同上。truth真理;priority优先权;support支持;courage勇气。“勇气”与句中前一个选择“逃避畏缩”相对应。即使她有皮肤病,她也可以找到勇气去爱自己。故选D项。
30. C 考查动词。句意:Giorgia接受了自己的身体,她不会再尽力掩盖自己的皮肤了。control控制;destroy摧毁;accept接受;examine检查。根据“It was part of who she was.”可知,她承认这是她自己的一部分,表明她已经开始接受自己了。故选C项。
31. A 考查动词短语。句意同上。cover up掩盖,遮盖;get under镇压;take off脱掉,起飞,成功;break down出故障。上文她已经接受了自己,所以她就不用再想尽一切办法遮掩自己的皮肤了。故选A项。
32. D 考查副词。句意:她勇敢地用照片系列展示真实的自己。regrettably遗憾地;gratefully感激地;seriously认真地,严肃地;bravely勇敢地。根据文章内容可知,Giorgia得了皮肤病,所以是“勇敢地”展示自己真实皮肤的照片。故选D项。
33. B 考查名词。句意:她希望那些苦于自己形象的人能从她分享的照片中得到力量和鼓舞。空处应选一个意义和inspiration并列的词,“力量”符合语境,通过看到她的照片,同样苦于自己形象的人能够得到力量与鼓舞,与晒照片这一行为相照应。故选B项。
34. A 考查名词。句意:我们可能有让我们与其他女人看起来不同的身体状况,但我们仍然是美丽的。conditions情况,状况;affairs事务;elements元素,要素;qualities品质。联系前文“She felt so self conscious about the condition that it was __24__ her life.”可知原词复现,本题选conditions,故选A项。
35. C 考查名词。句意:我知道我父亲会因为我的态度而感到自豪。此题用排除法。本文没有侧重于她的梦想、善良和大方,而是在赞扬她积极面对生活、乐观接受自己的态度。故选C项。

第三部分 应用文写作
Dear__Linda,
Considering you're interested in Chinese culture, I'd like to invite you to appreciate our Exhibition of Traditional Chinese Painting.
Traditional Chinese Painting can date back to six thousand years ago and usually contains figure paintings, flower and bird paintings and landscapes—describing the natural scenery of mountains and rivers. In order to promote and develop our traditional Chinese culture and enrich us students' spare time, the exhibition is to be held at 2 pm this Friday in the school lecture hall. Don't miss the good chance of obtaining further knowledge of Chinese culture.
I'm looking forward to your coming with great pleasure.
Yours,
Li__Hua
