Karambelas, a junior at Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach，started a Permaculture(永续栽培) Club at school this year to make her fellow students more aware of ways to grow food “in harmony with nature”, and chose the aquaponics(鱼菜共生)project as a way to promote the message.
With Garcia’s help, they completed the project in a weekend, building a handsome two-tiered, 4-by-8-foot redwood structure in one of the school’s courtyards that would easily fit in a front yard, a patio (露台)or even a balcony.
Many of the materials were donated, Karambelas said, but it would have cost her about $1,500 to build the structure at full price. The materials included 26 redwood boards, pond liners, Arqlite Smart Gravel—lightweight nuggets made from recycled food-safe plastics—PVC pipes,40 small goldfish and an Oase AquaMax Eco Classic 3600 pump, which Garcia recommended because of its low energy use.
The lower box is covered with a pond liner, filled with water and the little fish. Garcia helped install the pump, which pushes the water from the fish tier to the vegetables planted in Smart Gravel above. The constantly recycling water drenches(使湿透)the planting boxes, and the run-off drips back into the fish tank, keeping the water aerated(使透气).
Students’ response has been positive, Karambelas said, and she’s hoping the project can create enough interest to attract more members to her new club next year.
4. What did the aquaponics project aim to show
A. Human rely on nature for food.
B. Food should be grown in an organic way.
C. Students should show more interest in nature.
D. Creative ways should be applied in agriculture.
5. Which aspect might Karambelas focus on when selecting the materials of the tank
A. How much they cost.
B. Where they are from.
C. What they are made of.
D. Whether they are environmentally friendly.
6. What can be inferred about the project
A. The project made full use of water.
B. Garcia built the project on her own.
C. The material cost Garcia about $1,500.
D. The tank can produce water automatically.
7. What does Karambelas expect to get from the project
A. More club members. B. Much financial support.
C. Chances of being famous. D. Knowledge about nature.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Karambelas在学校创办了永续栽培俱乐部，并实施了“鱼菜共生项目”，让她的同学们更加了解“与自然和谐共处”的食物种植方法。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Karambelas, a junior at Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach，started a Permaculture Club at school this year to make her fellow students more aware of ways to grow food “in harmony with nature”, and chose the aquaponics project as a way to promote the message.”（Karambelas是曼哈顿海滩米拉科斯塔高中的一名大三学生，今年她在学校里成立了一个永续栽培俱乐部，让她的同学们更加意识到如何“与自然和谐相处”地种植食物，她选择了水培工程作为宣传这一信息的一种方式。）可知，Karambelas选择该项目是为了让她的同学们更加了解“与自然和谐共处”的食物种植方法，即食物应用有机的方式种植。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的关键表述“made from recycled food-safe plastics”（由回收的食品安全塑料制成的轻质块）和“because of its low energy use”（因为它能耗低。）以及Karambelas创立俱乐部的初心可推知，她在选择材料时主要关注的是它们是否环保。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段多次出现的water和段落大意可知，下面的盒子上覆盖着池塘衬垫，里面装满了水和小鱼。加西亚帮助安装了水泵，水泵将水从下面的养鱼层推送到上面用智能砾石种植的蔬菜上。不断循环的水浸透种植箱，径流滴回鱼缸，使水充气含氧。由此可推断出，在整个过程中，水在不断循环使用，既保证植物有充足的水分，又让多余的水分充氧后回流至鱼缸，为小鱼供氧。故选A项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Students’ response has been positive, Karambelas said, and she’s hoping the project can create enough interest to attract more members to her new club next year.”（Karambelas说，学生们的反应很积极，她希望这个项目能引起足够多的兴趣，明年吸引更多的成员加入她的新俱乐部。）可知，Karambelas希望该项目能激发学生们足够的兴趣，以便明年吸引更多俱乐部成员。故选A项。

Ten years ago, liberal arts majors were a hot proposition, but according to a recent report, engineering and science majors are more favored by Chinese university students nowadays.
The shift has happened since the country set its sights on growth powered by technological breakthroughs and high-end manufacturing.
The popularity of engineering has also been reflected in the annual adjustment of university majors by the Ministry of Education.
Since the ministry approved the establishment of AI-related undergraduate majors in 2018, 440 universities now offer them. When 180 universities set up AI majors in 2019, they became the top new majors of the year. Many engineering majors are associated with terms like “intelligent” and “smart”, with technological and scientific innovation in mind.
Financial and management majors were previously popular due to the capital’s role in driving social and economic progress. Rising geopolitical tensions have encouraged the turn toward engineering, as China has realized that technology will be the fundamental engine of future growth, and so engineering and science majors have become the most popular. More importantly, there are still many weak links and bottlenecks in China’s technological development, which require more talent to solve.
The development of AI in China still has a long way to go, so students are obliged to study properly and contribute to the sector’s rapid development.
A senior researcher said that students need to be more objective about popular majors as the demand for them might change based on societal demand and employment prospects. When choosing a major, they should focus more on their strengths and passions, he said, adding that if they pursue a popular major in which they are not interested, they will not learn professionally and will still find it hard to get a good job.
8. Why has engineering become popular recently
A. Liberal arts majors are less popular.
B. Chinese universities favor engineering majors.
C. China has have aimed at developing high-end manufacturing.
D. The Ministry of Education makes adjustments annually.
9. How did the author explain the popularity of AI-related majors among the universities
A. By listing the numbers. B. By making experiments.
C. By giving a description. D. By making a discussion.
10. Which is the most important factor to stimulate China to develop technology
A. The capital’s role in the progress. B. Rising geopolitical tensions.
C. Many weak links and bottlenecks. D. Societal rapid development.
11. Which option may the senior researcher agree with
A. Engineering leads to good jobs. B. Choosing a major depends on its popularity.
C. People must follow the crowd. D. Interest is the best teacher.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述近年来，中国大学的热门专业发生了变化，本文分析了出现这种变化的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段内容“The shift has happened since the country set its sights on growth powered by technological breakthroughs and high-end manufacturing. (这种转变发生在该国将目光投向由技术突破和高端制造业推动的增长之后。)”可知，因为中国力求发展高端制造业，所以工程学专业最近变得受欢迎。选项A说文科是冷门专业，选项B说中国大学支持工程学专业，选项D说教育部每年调整专业，这些都是因工程学变得热门而产生的现象，不是工程学热门的原因，所以其他三个选项都是不正确的。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Since the ministry approved the establishment of AI-related undergraduate majors in 2018, 440 universities now offer them. When 180 universities set up AI majors in 2019, they became the top new majors of the year.(自2018年教育部批准设立人工智能相关本科专业以来，目前有440所大学开设了该专业。2019年，180所大学开设了人工智能专业，成为当年最热门的新专业。)” 可知，作者通过列数字来阐明AI相关专业在大学中的普及。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“More importantly, there are still many weak links and bottlenecks in China’s technological development, which require more talent to solve.(更重要的是，中国科技发展还存在很多薄弱环节和瓶颈，需要更多的人才来解决。)” 可知，中国的科技发展还存在许多薄弱环节和瓶颈，需要更多的人才来应对，这是促使中国发展科技的最重要的因素。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When choosing a major, they should focus more on their strengths and passions, he said, adding that if they pursue a popular major in which they are not interested, they will not learn professionally and will still find it hard to get a good job.(他说，在选择专业时，他们应该更多地关注自己的优势和激情，并补充说，如果他们选择一个自己不感兴趣的热门专业，他们就不会专业地学习，也很难找到一份好工作。)” 可知，在选择专业时，要更多地关注自己的长处和兴趣，如果选择自己不感兴趣的专业，就无法专业地进行学习，也很难找到好工作。故选D项。
D
American researchers say the thought that machines could take over the world is becoming an increasing reality, rather than the nightmarish plot of a sci-fi horror movie. Now, they are fueling workplace worry, with some employees reportedly sabotaging (暗中破坏) and even attacking their robot replacements.
However, psychologists think that reminding ourselves of our humanity could help alleviate irrational (不合理的) fears about machines replacing people in the workplace. It involves repeating positive statements used to promote confidence and belief in your own uniquely human abilities. These statements help shift focus away from perceived failures or inadequacies and onto a worker’s strengths — those you already have and those you want to develop.
Lead author Professor Kai Chi Yam says in a media release, “Some economists theorize that robots are more likely to take over blue-collar jobs faster than white-collar jobs. However, it doesn’t look like robots are taking over that many jobs yet, at least not in America, so a lot of these fears are rather subjective.”
Yam’s team carried out tests and analyzed data from participants in the U.S., Singapore, and India. In one experiment, working with industrial robots fueled stress and unrest among 118 engineers employed by an auto manufacturing company in India. An online survey of 400 participants found self-affirmation exercises reduced feelings of hopelessness. The workers then wrote about characteristics or values that were important to them. “Most people are overestimating the capabilities of robots and underestimating their own capabilities,” Yam says.
While some individuals may have legitimate concerns, media coverage may be unnecessarily heightening fears among the general public. “Media reports on new technologies like robots and algorithms tend to be apocalyptic (毁灭性的) in nature, so people may develop an irrational fear about them,” Yam concludes.
12. Why do people hate robots in workplace
A. They are attacked by robots. B. They feel threatened by robots.
C. Robots appear in sci-fi horror movies. D. Robots take charge of their workplace.
13. What can positive statements do to workers according to Paragraph 2
A. Remove all their fears and horrors.
B. Remind them of their advantages.
C. Help them focus better on their work.
D. Rid them of failures and inadequacies.
14. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A. White-collar jobs won’t be replaced.
B. There are too many robots in the U.S.
C. Worries about robots are not justified.
D. Robots have taken the place of labor.
15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. One of factors fueling people’s worries.
B. Other irrational fears of general public.
C. The media’s attitude toward robots.
D. The nature of robots and algorithms.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。人们对机器人进入工作场所的恐惧日益加深，但是这种恐惧很多是非理性的。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“However, psychologists think that reminding ourselves of our humanity could help alleviate irrational(不合理的) fears about machines replacing people in the workplace.(然而，心理学家认为，提醒我们自己人性可以帮助减轻机器在工作场所取代人类的非理性恐惧)”可知，人们讨厌工作场所的机器人是因为他们感到受到机器人的威胁。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“It involves repeating positive statements used to promote confidence and belief in your own uniquely human abilities. These statements help shift focus away from perceived failures or inadequacies and onto a worker’s strengths — those you already have and those you want to develop.(它包括重复积极的陈述，用来增强你对自己独特的人类能力的信心和信念。这些陈述有助于将注意力从失败或不足转移到员工的优势上——那些你已经拥有的和你想要发展的)”可知，根据第二段，积极的陈述对工人的影响是提醒他们自己的优点。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Some economists theorize that robots are more likely to take over blue-collar jobs faster than white-collar jobs. However, it doesn’t look like robots are taking over that many jobs yet, at least not in America, so a lot of these fears are rather subjective.(一些经济学家认为，相比白领工作，机器人更有可能更快地取代蓝领工作。然而，看起来机器人还没有接管那么多的工作，至少在美国是这样，所以很多这些担忧都是相当主观的)”可推知，从第三段中可以推断出对机器人的担忧是没有道理的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段第一句“While some individuals may have legitimate concerns, media coverage may be unnecessarily heightening fears among the general public.(虽然有些人可能有合理的担忧，但媒体的报道可能会不必要地加剧公众的恐惧)”可知，最后一段主要是讲媒体报道是加剧公众恐惧的一个因素。故选A。

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night Did he get tired Have doubts Did he want to quit I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. I was so happy to hear the news that I immediately shared it with my teacher. “I knew you’d win! I am proud of you. You made it!” he said excitedly. Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher. I said, “It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher. Without your recognition and guidance, I couldn’t have written this article. Again thank you very much!”
I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” “You know I didn’t like writing before, but now I am crazy about it! I will try my best to create good works.” I said seriously. Since then, I have written many good works and now I am a famous writer. I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing.

Karambelas, a junior at Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach，started a Permaculture(永续栽培) Club at school this year to make her fellow students more aware of ways to grow food “in harmony with nature”, and chose the aquaponics(鱼菜共生)project as a way to promote the message.
With Garcia’s help, they completed the project in a weekend, building a handsome two-tiered, 4-by-8-foot redwood structure in one of the school’s courtyards that would easily fit in a front yard, a patio (露台)or even a balcony.
Many of the materials were donated, Karambelas said, but it would have cost her about $1,500 to build the structure at full price. The materials included 26 redwood boards, pond liners, Arqlite Smart Gravel—lightweight nuggets made from recycled food-safe plastics—PVC pipes,40 small goldfish and an Oase AquaMax Eco Classic 3600 pump, which Garcia recommended because of its low energy use.
The lower box is covered with a pond liner, filled with water and the little fish. Garcia helped install the pump, which pushes the water from the fish tier to the vegetables planted in Smart Gravel above. The constantly recycling water drenches(使湿透)the planting boxes, and the run-off drips back into the fish tank, keeping the water aerated(使透气).
Students’ response has been positive, Karambelas said, and she’s hoping the project can create enough interest to attract more members to her new club next year.
4. What did the aquaponics project aim to show
A. Human rely on nature for food.
B. Food should be grown in an organic way.
C. Students should show more interest in nature.
D. Creative ways should be applied in agriculture.
5. Which aspect might Karambelas focus on when selecting the materials of the tank
A. How much they cost.
B. Where they are from.
C. What they are made of.
D. Whether they are environmentally friendly.
6. What can be inferred about the project
A. The project made full use of water.
B Garcia built the project on her own.
C. The material cost Garcia about $1,500.
D. The tank can produce water automatically.
7. What does Karambelas expect to get from the project
A. More club members. B. Much financial support.
C. Chances of being famous. D. Knowledge about nature.
C
Ten years ago, liberal arts majors were a hot proposition, but according to a recent report, engineering and science majors are more favored by Chinese university students nowadays.
The shift has happened since the country set its sights on growth powered by technological breakthroughs and high-end manufacturing.
The popularity of engineering has also been reflected in the annual adjustment of university majors by the Ministry of Education.
Since the ministry approved the establishment of AI-related undergraduate majors in 2018, 440 universities now offer them. When 180 universities set up AI majors in 2019, they became the top new majors of the year. Many engineering majors are associated with terms like “intelligent” and “smart”, with technological and scientific innovation in mind.
Financial and management majors were previously popular due to the capital’s role in driving social and economic progress. Rising geopolitical tensions have encouraged the turn toward engineering, as China has realized that technology will be the fundamental engine of future growth, and so engineering and science majors have become the most popular. More importantly, there are still many weak links and bottlenecks in China’s technological development, which require more talent to solve.
The development of AI in China still has a long way to go, so students are obliged to study properly and contribute to the sector’s rapid development.
A senior researcher said that students need to be more objective about popular majors as the demand for them might change based on societal demand and employment prospects. When choosing a major, they should focus more on their strengths and passions, he said, adding that if they pursue a popular major in which they are not interested, they will not learn professionally and will still find it hard to get a good job.
8. Why has engineering become popular recently
A. Liberal arts majors are less popular.
B. Chinese universities favor engineering majors.
C. China has have aimed at developing high-end manufacturing.
D. The Ministry of Education makes adjustments annually.
9. How did the author explain the popularity of AI-related majors among the universities
A. By listing the numbers. B. By making experiments.
C. By giving a description. D. By making a discussion.
10. Which is the most important factor to stimulate China to develop technology
A. The capital’s role in the progress. B. Rising geopolitical tensions.
C. Many weak links and bottlenecks. D. Societal rapid development.
11. Which option may the senior researcher agree with
A. Engineering leads to good jobs. B. Choosing a major depends on its popularity.
C. People must follow the crowd. D. Interest is the best teacher.
D
American researchers say the thought that machines could take over the world is becoming an increasing reality, rather than the nightmarish plot of a sci-fi horror movie. Now, they are fueling workplace worry, with some employees reportedly sabotaging (暗中破坏) and even attacking their robot replacements.
However, psychologists think that reminding ourselves of our humanity could help alleviate irrational (不合理的) fears about machines replacing people in the workplace. It involves repeating positive statements used to promote confidence and belief in your own uniquely human abilities. These statements help shift focus away from perceived failures or inadequacies and onto a worker’s strengths — those you already have and those you want to develop.
Lead author Professor Kai Chi Yam says in a media release, “Some economists theorize that robots are more likely to take over blue-collar jobs faster than white-collar jobs. However, it doesn’t look like robots are taking over that many jobs yet, at least not in America, so a lot of these fears are rather subjective.”
Yam’s team carried out tests and analyzed data from participants in the U.S., Singapore, and India. In one experiment, working with industrial robots fueled stress and unrest among 118 engineers employed by an auto manufacturing company in India. An online survey of 400 participants found self-affirmation exercises reduced feelings of hopelessness. The workers then wrote about characteristics or values that were important to them. “Most people are overestimating the capabilities of robots and underestimating their own capabilities,” Yam says.
While some individuals may have legitimate concerns, media coverage may be unnecessarily heightening fears among the general public. “Media reports on new technologies like robots and algorithms tend to be apocalyptic (毁灭性的) in nature, so people may develop an irrational fear about them,” Yam concludes.
12. Why do people hate robots in workplace
A. They are attacked by robots. B. They feel threatened by robots.
C. Robots appear in sci-fi horror movies. D. Robots take charge of their workplace.
13. What can positive statements do to workers according to Paragraph 2
A. Remove all their fears and horrors.
B. Remind them of their advantages.
C. Help them focus better on their work.
D. Rid them of failures and inadequacies.
14. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A. White-collar jobs won’t be replaced.
B. There are too many robots in the U.S.
C. Worries about robots are not justified.
D. Robots have taken the place of labor.
15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. One of factors fueling people’s worries.
B. Other irrational fears of general public.
C. The media’s attitude toward robots.

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night Did he get tired Have doubts Did he want to quit I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news.
