考试时间:90分钟
满分:120分
第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Barcelona's opera house has celebrated its reopening to the public since the novel coronavirus pandemic(新冠疫情) put the world into a huge horror, but their opening night had an unusual audience. For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that's correct. All 2,292 seats at the Gran Teatre del Liceu were occupied by leafy green plants.
The idea was put forward by the conceptual artist Eugeno Ampudia and the concert was broadcast live on the theater's website. These lucky ficus trees, palms, and Swiss cheese plants—which were brought in by local nurseries(苗圃)—got the pleasure of hearing Puccini's Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group.
Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the concept of sustainability(可持续). "We are at the end of an era and that means that we have to change certain patterns," he shares. "We don't live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do."
As plants can respond to different vibrations(震动) caused by music, they certainly weren't a passive audience—even if they weren't able to give applause. Now that the concert is over, each plant will be given to a different frontline health care worker who helped guide the country through its battle with the coronavirus.
The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu's mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixa's contemporary(当代的) art collection.

Music has a role in even the most unexciting activities from grocery shopping to commuting or simply doing homework. It’s the soundtrack to our lives. But have we lost focus of what initially attracted us to music
Recently, there has been a rise in the popularity of collecting vinyl records (黑胶唱片) across the world. According to a survey conducted by market research company YouGov last year, one in four 18-24-year-olds bought a vinyl record in the UK. It has reminded some that music is not just background sounds to guide us through our routines, but an art to be appreciated.
Of course, access to music via mp3 players or services and platforms is more convenient, but the appeal of vinyl comes in the authenticity of the sound itself. Older records can have a bit of a “scratchy (带沙沙的杂音的)” sound or have the occasional pop. For some, this makes the music sound more real, particularly if it’s from a musician or band from decades ago. This also gives insight (领悟) into the actual history of the music and the record itself, as each pressing may have its own quirks (奇事).
I myself own records that my parents passed down to me. I can pick one up and see my father’s name on the cover that he scrawled when he was a kid. Putting it on my turntable (唱盘), I get to hear what he heard. Because records are tangible objects, it is a unique way for people to pass music on to younger generations and leave a legacy (遗产) of sorts.
Another benefit to listening to vinyl is that it makes the listener focus on the music itself by its medium alone. As opposed to just pressing a button on your phone, those who listen to records have to pick out the album and play it on a turntable. This requires a conscious effort when making a selection — not just hitting the button to play a pre-recorded playlist. As this is not a mobile medium, the focus is more likely to be on the music.
Of course, the popularity of DJs has also helped bring vinyl into the spotlight in recent years. As more young people are getting into this type of music, they are starting to see how DJs use analog equipment. Rather than armed with just a computer, young artists are toting (携带) around bags of vinyl records and setting up turntables to spin for eager youths.
Without a doubt, this medium has given more focus on what we sometimes take for granted: the joy of music.
5.What did the survey of YouGov show
A. Music is everywhere in people’s daily lives.
B. Many young people are buying vinyl records.
C. Background noise can also be treated as an art.
D. Teenagers were the main buyers of vinyl records.
6.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Vinyl records improve your taste in music.
B. Mp3 players have been replaced by vinyl records.
C. Scratchy sounds on vinyl can make the music less enjoyable.
D. Vinyl records can give a good sense of the history of the music.
7.Which statement about vinyl records does the author probably agree with
A. They can be family treasures.
B. Selecting an album is difficult.
C. Their collectors are mostly DJs.
D. They are too complicated to operate.
8.What is the author’s purpose in writing this article
A. To express her love for music.
B. To recall her memories of vinyl.
C. To compare vinyl with digital music.
D. To tell why vinyl is gaining popularity.
C
Former truck driver Chen Xianjun played a final chord (和弦) on the guitar as he and his four band-mates — a salesperson, a farmer and two doctors — enjoyed the sunshine of early winter by West Lake in Zhejiang Province.
“Cherish your life,” Chen sang his song’s last line. Behind him was the photo of a foreigner wearing a warm smile and hugging his guitar. It was the 27-year-old man, Philip Hancock, an Australian teaching English in Chongqing, who made the warm scene come true.
Hancock died in May 2018 in Chongqing. His parents obeyed Hancock’s wish to donate his organs after death. Hancock’s liver and kidneys saved the lives of three people in the band and his corneas (角膜) made the other two regain the eyesight, including Chen.
“Last year, Red Cross officials advised that the five of us form a band in memory of Hancock. They told me that Hancock dreamed of having his own band one day,” Chen said. He accepted the advice instantly, and so did the other recipients of Hancock’s organs. “I’m more than lucky to be able to show respect for the man who gave me a second chance at a full life,” he said.
In the past year, the five “musicians” have learned various instruments. They traveled from different parts of Chongqing and Sichuan Province to meet in a studio for lessons. The Band for One, a fitting name for the group, finally gathered by the lakeside in Hangzhou on November 7 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the implementation (实施) of voluntary organ donations in China.
“I was nervous before stepping on the stage, but I think we all played our parts to the best after so many months of preparation and tension,” Chen Xianjun said. “All the recipients now have the ability to carry on with their lives, and I believe that’s exactly what Hancock wanted for us.”
9.What can we learn from the second and third paragraphs
A. Hancock saved the lives of three people in the band before he died.
B. The lives of the people in the band have changed thanks to Hancock.
C. Chen Xianjun would have died if Hancock had not donated his organs.
D. Hancock helped Chen Xianjun form a band while teaching in Chongqing.
10.Which can replace the underlined word “recipients” in Paragraph 4
A. Receivers. B. Givers. C. Helpers. D. Supporters.
11.What can we learn from the passage
A. Hancock had formed a popular band before he passed away.
B. The band went to play in Hangzhou in memory of Hancock.
C. The five people formed the band on Chen Xianjun’s advice.
D. The five people in the band tried to learn various instruments.
12.Which word best describes the five people’s attitude to Hancock
A. Objective. B. Pleased. C. Thankful. D. Doubtful.
D

When asked about the secret of their success, she said, "Our average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girls next door, your singing sisters."

C. Their success meets their fans’ day dream of becoming others’ idols.
D. Their average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep them close to their fans.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. "Why are you in such a hurry, my early bird " Mum asked him. "We will have an English spelling test today, Mum," Peter said. "Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 points. I've been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them."
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. "Responsibility," Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently. "The second word: contribution," Mr. White said. "So easy," Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. "I am to mark your papers now," he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, "Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test!"
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter's was an English-Chinese dictionary-the one he like best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. "This is my happiest moment," Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word "contribution" confused him. It didn't seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. "C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n," he whispered. He had spelled it wrong. "What am I to do " Peter said to himself. "I expect my classmates to think I'm a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I'll have to give prize back, or I will become an example of telling a lie."
Staring at the red sign "100%" which was written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, "We ought to be an honest person."
Paragraph 1:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him.

第二节
答案:FBDGE
解析:①空前一句讲到了对许多人来说音乐长期以来被认为是一种令人愉悦的消遣方式,空后一句讲到了音乐对心理健康的益处是不容置疑的,所以空处应与音乐对于心理健康的益处有关,因此F项符合语境。
②根据空后讲到的“然而,同样的道理,如果一个人处于痛苦之中,音乐是非常有帮助的”可推知,空处应该是说音乐的坏处,因此B项符合语境。
③本段第一句讲到了很多人喜欢在晚上睡觉前听舒缓的音乐,空后讲到了“然而这种观念的有效性仍待评估”,因此空处应该是说晚上睡觉前听音乐的好处,因此D项符合语境。
④结合语境可知,此处讲到的是一项研究,所以空处应该是讲参与者的研究表现,且空后一句讲到了当音乐减慢时,他们的压力和焦虑水平会变得更低,对心率的影响似乎也变小了。由此可推知,空处应该是音乐较快时的表现,因此G项符合语境。
⑤结合空后将收音机音量开大可能对其他一系列健康问题有益可知,E项“音乐对整体幸福感的影响真的让人印象深刻”符合语境。

第二节
答案:①to sing②an③themselves④are uploaded⑤original⑥which⑦Inspired⑧performance⑨has become⑩on
解析:①考查动词不定式。opportunity后常用不定式作后置定语,表示“做某事的机会”,故填to sing。
②考查冠词。此处指你所需要的只是一台摄像机和一个互联网连接,表泛指,且Internet以元音音素开头,故用不定冠词an。
③考查反身代词。分析句子结构可知,主语Virtual choir members和谓语动词record的宾语指代一致,故填反身代词themselves。
④考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。此处缺少谓语,由该句中的they are put together及语境可知应用一般现在时,此处指这些视频被上传到互联网上,These videos和upload之间为被动关系,应用被动语态,由主语These videos可知谓语动词应用复数形式。故填are uploaded。
⑤考查形容词。设空处修饰后面的复数名词compositions,应用形容词作定语,故填original。
⑥考查定语从句的引导词。设空处无提示词且前面有逗号,此处指在接下来的10年里,他的原创作品开始在合唱团和歌手中变得非常受欢迎,这促使了虚拟合唱团的创建,结合此处表达的意思可知是前面的内容导致了后面的结果,由此可推断设空处引导的是非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面主句的内容,故用which。
⑦考查过去分词。该句中已有谓语动词,所以此处应用非谓语动词的一种形式,此处的逻辑主语是he,二者之间是被动关系,故填过去分词Inspired,作原因状语。
⑧考查名词。根据空前的one可知,此处应用单数名词,故填 performance,表示“演出”。
⑨考查动词的时态和主谓一致。设空处在句中充当谓语,由时间状语Since then 可知,此处应用现在完成时,且主语为the virtual choir,谓语动词应用单数形式,故填has become。
⑩考查介词。have a positive influence on...意为“对……有积极的影响”。故填on。
第三节
Dear David,
I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on what to choose as a Chinese song. For the song to choose, I have a favorite song, whose name is invisible Wings and which has a great influence on me.
First of all, whenever I suffer hardships and blows, it is this song that gives me an invisible strength to face difficulties bravely, and makes me more confident and brave to conquer the challenges. In addition, this song also expresses a positive and optimistic attitude, which makes me more confident to face the future and realize my dream.
I sincerely hope my recommendation can be helpful and wish you a wonderful performance. When you come to my city, remember to let me know, since I’d like to be there to cheer for you.
Yours,

答案:
Paragraph 1:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand. "Mr. White, I didn't get 100 percent on the test. I missed a word." He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper. "I spelled contribution with 's-i' instead of 't-i'." Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter's test paper. "Class," he said, "Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test." Mr. White smiled at Peter. "He taught us all a lesson on being honest."
Paragraph 2:
Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him. "Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us," Mr. White said. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr. White. Meanwhile, he couldn't wait to show it to Mum and tell her one of his best days ever.
