W: Oh that would take too long and I’m kind of in a hurry. Can I take a bus there

【解析】
【原文】M: Japan is one of the world’s best travel destinations. Unfortunately, most budget travelers don’t visit Japan because they figure it’s too expensive. What they, and perhaps you, don’t know is that a vacation in Japan can be quite affordable. Here are some tips to help you save money. First, you should avoid peak travel time. There are three major holiday periods in Japan: the New Year holidays, the Golden Week holiday season — April 29 to May 5 and the Obon Festival season — three days centered on August 15. Second, consider buying a bus pass if you plan on doing a lot of sightseeing. This will save you money since bus passes typically offer deals when you purchase them. Third, while Japan has plenty of enjoyable sightseeing attractions that are free, most museums and temples charge for admission at least a few hundred yen. Many attractions offer children and seniors discounts. Child rates typically apply to those under 12 and senior discounts apply to those of 65 and over. The most important thing to remember is to be wise with your choices so as to avoid unnecessary things that you do not need. Then you will be able to enjoy Japan without spending all of your savings.

Adrian Rodriquez found the purse outside a supermarket in Chula Vista CA. Using the address on the driver’s license (驾照) inside the purse, Adrian drove to the house and knocked on the front door.
The purse belonged to Eliana Martin, a former (以前的) roommate of Melina Marquez. Martin had not changed her address since her recent move, so the purse was brought to Marquez’s home. Marquez was not at home when Adrian arrived. He left it with a relative at the house, and their dialogues were recorded by Marquez’s camera by chance. “I looked into the camera later, and I thought to myself “Oh my dear. He’s such a young kid. We need to find him and thank him,” recalled Marquez. She posted the video of Adrian on the Internet and the Chula Vista community quickly went to work.
“I woke up and I had a lot of messages like, ‘Oh is this you ’” Adrian said. The ladies invited him to Marquez’s house so Martin could say thanks in person. After they knew the boy’s poor family, they also started a GoFundMe page in his honor. The online fundraiser has received 677 donations (捐赠), totaling $15, 145.
“It feels good. I appreciate it. I really do everything everybody’s doing,” Adrian told NBC News. “My mom always told me since I was little to always do the right thing when nobody’s around.”
“This is something that we really need. It’s good news, positive news,” smiled Melina Marquez.

Martin had not changed her address since her recent move, so the purse was brought to Marquez’s home. Marquez was not at home when Adrian arrived. (钱包属于Melina Marquez的前室友Eliana Martin。自从最近搬家后，Martin就没有改变过她的地址，所以钱包被带到了Marquez的家里。Adrian到来时，Marquez不在家。)”可知，因为Adrian发现了Martin钱包里Marquez的地址，所以Adrian Rodriquez才能找到Marquez的家。故选D。

C
She was walking at eight months and completing 100-piece jigsaw puzzles at 15 months. So it is no surprise that Abigail Wilson, 15, from Connecticut, USA, recently made history when she became the youngest black female ever accepted into an American university! “I’m proud of myself for getting in, but I usually find it hard to get excited. It is pretty cool, I guess,” said Abigail.
Her mother, Nancy, said that Abigail was a quiet baby, born two weeks late on Christmas Day. She didn’t speak her first words until she was 22 months old. Nancy and her husband thought something must be wrong, but when she started to talk, it was with perfect speech. Her parents read her normal bedtime stories and they didn’t know at the time that she was learning all of it.
Abigail has always been the youngest person in her class. At the age of six, she was in the fourth grade; at eight, she began taking classes at an International Baccalaureate (国际中学毕业会考) program, and at ten, she took her first high school class in math. She has studied several languages, including Spanish, French, Chinese, Russian, Arabic and German.
Abigail says that she doesn’t usually plan when she studies. She considers herself scatterbrained. And she always delays things up to the last minute — this, she says, gives her the motivation to really do something.
In her free time, Abigail plays hockey and basketball, browses the Internet, reads, cooks and hangs out with her friends (they are all 17 and 18 years old). She has also studied music. Her mother says that Abigail’s music lessons have helped her to be a normal teen. She believes that Abigail needs to be in a situation where she has to fail in order to learn. “She finds playing the piano to be very difficult, but it has made her learn better,” said Nancy. “She can’t always be successful, or she won’t learn anything! People always learn more from their failures than from their successes.”
28. Abigail spoke her first word when she was ______.
A. 15 months old B. 22 months old C. 17 months old D. 18 months old
29. Why does Abigail’s mother think learning to play the piano is good for Abigail
A. Because Abigail can make new friends.
B. Because Abigail can learn something from failure.
C. Because Abigail can learn to play a musical instrument.
D. Because Abigail can be motivated and do things quickly.
30 Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Almost all of Abigail’s classmates are older than her.
B. Abigail’s parents read very difficult stories to her in order to make her a genius.
C. Abigail started taking classes at an International Baccalaureate program at the age of ten.
D. Abigail made history because she became the youngest ever to enter an American university.
31. Which of the following titles is the most suitable for the article
A. Roads to Success B. Universities in America
C. Abigail — a Genius Girl D. Difficulty of Making Mistakes
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了天才黑人女孩Abigail的经历，她虽然开始说话的时间比较晚，但是学习能力非常出众，一直是班级里最年轻的学生，兴趣非常广泛，15岁的她最近创造了历史，成为美国大学有史以来最年轻的黑人女学生。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She didn’t speak her first words until she was 22 months old. (她直到22个月大的时候才会说第一句话)”可知，Abigail在22个月的时候说了第一句话。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Her mother says that Abigail’s music lessons have helped her to be a normal teen. She believes that Abigail needs to be in a situation where she has to fail in order to learn. “She finds playing the piano to be very difficult, but it has made her learn better,” said Nancy. (她的母亲说，Abigail的音乐课帮助她成为一个正常的青少年。她认为Abigail需要经历失败才能学习。“她发现弹钢琴很难，但这使她学得更好，”Nancy说)”可知，母亲认为学习弹钢琴对Abigail有好处是因为她可以经历失败，从中学到一些东西。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Abigail has always been the youngest person in her class. (Abigail一直是班上最年轻的学生)”可知，A项“Abigail的同学几乎都比她大”与文意相符。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕天才黑人女孩Abigail的经历展开，讲述了她虽然开始说话的时间比较晚，但是学习能力非常出众，一直是班级里最年轻的学生，兴趣非常广泛，15岁的她最近创造了历史，成为美国大学有史以来最年轻的黑人女学生。由此可知，C项“Abigail——天才女孩”契合文章大意，适合作为标题。故选C项。
D
According to a new US study, couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall.
The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, from Princeton University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.
Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 older Americans concluded that gender(性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.
In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care.
Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been tracking a cross section of over 50s for the last decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.
“Sons reduce their relative care giving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”
“This suggests that sons pass on parent care giving responsibilities to their sisters.”
In the UK, the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities, a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.
But many are doing so at the risk of their health.The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts who are not carers.
32. According to the passage, what’s the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly
A. Education. B. Gender.
C. Career. D. Income.
33. The US study finds that ________.
A. having a sister makes men less likely to look after their parents
B. sons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old age
C. sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents
D. sons are unwilling to leave care giving responsibilities to their sisters
34. What does the author stress in the last paragraph
A. People should give up their jobs to care for the elderly.
B. Many care providers work longer hours than others.
C. Many care providers have potential health problems.
D. People shouldn’t pass on caring responsibilities to others.
35. The author develops the text by ________.
A. explaining social networks of careers
B. describing people’s experiences
C. comparing different gender behaviors
D. analyzing various research and data
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。研究表明在照顾年迈的父母方面，性别差异影响着照顾父母的时间长短。女儿比儿子更愿意付出时间照顾父母。家中有姐妹的男士常把照顾父母的责任推给姐妹。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 older Americans concluded that gender(性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.(她对26000名美国老年人的家庭网络进行分析后得出结论，性别是决定人们是否会积极照顾年迈父母的最重要因素之一。)”可知，预测人们是否会主动照顾老年人的最主要因素之一是性别。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care.(她在旧金山举行的美国社会学协会年会上提交的一篇论文中总结道，仅仅是有一个姐妹就可能会让男性提供的关爱更少。)” 可知， Angelina Grigoryeva得出结论，家中有姐妹的男士对父母的照顾可能会更少。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But many are doing so at the risk of their health.(但许多人是冒着健康风险这么做的。)”及下文可知，在最后一段作者着重指出很多护理提供者都有潜在的健康问题。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者在第三、五、八段给出了研究的数据，接着在相应数据段落的下一段分析得出结论。由此可知，这篇文章是以分析各种研究和数据得出相关结论的写作手法展开的。故选D项。

根据上文“Modern news media is a constant stream of real-life English conversations and fresh information!”（现代新闻媒体是源源不断的真实英语对话和新鲜信息！）可知，选项承接上文说明“news”这个词的来源和意义。故C选项“甚至“新闻”这个词也来自拉丁语“nova”，意思是“新事物”切题。故选C项。
【39题详解】

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了今年12月，江苏的学生可能开始有一种新的支付学费的方式：e-CNY。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：到今年12月，江苏的学生可能会有一种新的支付方式：通过数字人民币(e-CNY)支付学费。分析句子结构，该句子谓语动词是will have，空处填非谓语动词。the way to do sth表示“做某事的方式”，所以空处填to pay作后置定语。故填to pay。
【57题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：根据江苏省教育厅最近发布的一项计划，这是因为江苏省将鼓励在其教育系统中使用e-CNY。分析句子结构，此处考查表语从句。由句意可知，江苏省将鼓励在其教育系统中使用e-CNY是江苏学生会有新的支付方式的原因，所以填because。故填because。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：根据江苏省教育厅最近发布的一项计划，这是因为江苏省将鼓励在其教育系统中使用e-CNY。分析句子成分，空处填非谓语动词，逻辑主语a plan和release之间是被动关系，所以填过去分词released，作后置定语。故填released。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意：学生可能会以数字人民币支付考试注册费和奖学金。分析句子成分，该空在句中作状语，所以填副词probably，修饰谓语动词will pay。故填probably。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：2014年，中国开始发行数字版人民币。分析句子成分，该空是句子的谓语动词。由时间词“in 2014”可知描述的是过去发生的事情，要用一般过去时，即started。故填started。
【61题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：刘婷是一名苏州居民，苏州是中国人民银行于2020年4月宣布的首批电子人民币试点城市之一。根据空前提示“one of”可知，此处要用可数名词复数形式，即cities，表示“首批试点城市之一”。故填cities。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意：刘婷告诉本报记者：“如果你想用e-CNY买东西，你只需要下载e-CNY应用程序并开设一个账户”。空后是可数名词单数account，在文中第一次出现，此处要填不定冠词，表泛指。account发音以元音音素开头，所以填an。故填an。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：接受e-CNY支付的电子商务平台将无法访问用户的个人信息。分析句子结构，此处考查限制性定语从句，修饰先行词E-commerce platforms，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，所以用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意：但是E-CNY支付可以将资金直接从买方转移到卖方，这将大大降低交易成本。由前文句意可知，支付宝和微信第三方支付平台在通过它们转账时需要收取一定的费用，后文描述E-CNY支付可以将资金直接从买方转移到卖方，前后句意构成转折关系，结合空格位置，此处填副词however，表示“然而，但是”。故填however。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意：e-CNY的发展稳步推进。空前是冠词The，空后是介词of，所以该空填名词development，在句中作主语。故填development。

67. 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。
“Get out of my house, you rude, unwanted, ugly and stupid child!” Aunt Foully shouted as Justin before closing the front door. Justin looked out at the grass that surrounded his aunt’s garden. He sighed as he remembered the list of housework that his evil aunt had planned for him after he got home from school. It was just not fair. If his parents had not died, he would not have to spend his entire life with Aunt Foully. Aunt Foully was a woman with crazy, curly, orange hair. She had small, black eyes, a big nose and a mouth so wide that you could have fitted a dining plate in it. Worse still, she had a heart so cold that you would freeze if you went near it.
As Justin dragged himself to school, he felt angry and disappointed. He wanted to express his anger at somebody. He decided that for the whole day, he was going to be rude to everyone, including Madame Bell, who was a little hard of hearing.
As he stepped into the classroom and took his place at the back of the room, he started making loud noise with his mouth, and started throwing paper airplanes at his classmates. Whenever Madame Bell looked back at the class, Justin would stop and pretended to be reading his history textbook. After throwing paper plans at his classmates for ten minutes, Justin started to feel bored. He slowly took an eraser out of his pencil case and threw it at a girl in the first row named Jody. But at that moment, Jody bent down and the eraser hit Madame Bell on her back. Madame Bell turned around quickly but crashed into a water bottle on the table, water and broken glass all over the floor. Madame Bell glared at the whole class, face red with anger, and shouted, “Who threw the eraser ”
All eyes turned to Justin as he sank lower and lower in his seat. “Justin Wang, go to the headmaster’s office immediately!” Madame Bell ordered, Justin stood up and went out of the classroom.
Paragraph 1:
Justin walked in the headmaster’s office.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After the long talk with the principal, Justin went back to his classroom.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Justin walked in the headmaster’s office. When the headmaster asked Justin to explain his behavior, Justin broke into tears. He told the headmaster about his sadness of living without his parents. Then the headmaster said, “I see. I know you are having a hard time losing your parents and living with your aunt. But putting it on someone else is not a good way. Take one step at a time to show your kindness.” The headmaster comforted Justin some more and told him that everything was going to be alright. “If you feel like you need someone to talk to, you can find me here anytime.”
Paragraph 2:
After the long talk with the principal, Justin went back to his classroom. Justin decided to study hard again, for once he felt relieved as he knew that there were people in this world who cared about him. He went to the front of the classroom, apologized to Madame Bell, and promised that he would never behave in such a rude manner again. Madame Bell accepted his apology, and the class was quiet again.

Adrian Rodriquez found the purse outside a supermarket in Chula Vista CA. Using the address on the driver’s license (驾照) inside the purse Adrian drove to the house and knocked on the front door.
The purse belonged to Eliana Martin, a former (以前的) roommate of Melina Marquez. Martin had not changed her address since her recent move, so the purse was brought to Marquez’s home. Marquez was not at home when Adrian arrived. He left it with a relative at the house, and their dialogues were recorded by Marquez’s camera by chance. “I looked into the camera later, and I thought to myself “Oh my dear. He’s such a young kid. We need to find him and thank him,” recalled Marquez. She posted the video of Adrian on the Internet and the Chula Vista community quickly went to work.
“I woke up and I had a lot of messages like, ‘Oh is this you ’” Adrian said. The ladies invited him to Marquez’s house so Martin could say thanks in person. After they knew the boy’s poor family, they also started a GoFundMe page in his honor. The online fundraiser has received 677 donations (捐赠), totaling $15, 145.
“It feels good. I appreciate it. I really do everything everybody’s doing,” Adrian told NBC News. “My mom always told me since I was little to always do the right thing when nobody’s around.”
“This is something that we really need. It’s good news, positive news,” smiled Melina Marquez.

She was walking at eight months and completing 100-piece jigsaw puzzles at 15 months. So it is no surprise that Abigail Wilson, 15, from Connecticut, USA, recently made history when she became the youngest black female ever accepted into an American university! “I’m proud of myself for getting in, but I usually find it hard to get excited. It is pretty cool, I guess,” said Abigail.
Her mother, Nancy, said that Abigail was a quiet baby, born two weeks late on Christmas Day. She didn’t speak her first words until she was 22 months old. Nancy and her husband thought something must be wrong, but when she started to talk, it was with perfect speech. Her parents read her normal bedtime stories and they didn’t know at the time that she was learning all of it.
Abigail has always been the youngest person in her class. At the age of six, she was in the fourth grade; at eight, she began taking classes at an International Baccalaureate (国际中学毕业会考) program, and at ten, she took her first high school class in math. She has studied several languages, including Spanish, French, Chinese, Russian, Arabic and German.
Abigail says that she doesn’t usually plan when she studies. She considers herself scatterbrained. And she always delays things up to the last minute — this, she says, gives her the motivation to really do something.
In her free time, Abigail plays hockey and basketball, browses the Internet, reads, cooks and hangs out with her friends (they are all 17 and 18 years old). She has also studied music. Her mother says that Abigail’s music lessons have helped her to be a normal teen. She believes that Abigail needs to be in a situation where she has to fail in order to learn. “She finds playing the piano to be very difficult, but it has made her learn better,” said Nancy. “She can’t always be successful, or she won’t learn anything! People always learn more from their failures than from their successes.”
28. Abigail spoke her first word when she was ______.
A. 15 months old B. 22 months old C. 17 months old D. 18 months old
29. Why does Abigail’s mother think learning to play the piano is good for Abigail
A. Because Abigail can make new friends.
B. Because Abigail can learn something from failure.
C. Because Abigail can learn to play a musical instrument.
D. Because Abigail can be motivated and do things quickly.
30. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Almost all of Abigail’s classmates are older than her.
B. Abigail’s parents read very difficult stories to her in order to make her a genius.
C. Abigail started taking classes at an International Baccalaureate program at the age of ten.
D. Abigail made history because she became the youngest ever to enter an American university.
31. Which of the following titles is the most suitable for the article
A. Roads to Success B. Universities in America
C. Abigail — a Genius Girl D. Difficulty of Making Mistakes
D
According to a new US study, couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall.
The research by Angelina Grigoryeva from Princeton University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.
Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 older Americans concluded that gender(性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.
In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care.
Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been tracking a cross section of over 50s for the last decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.
“Sons reduce their relative care giving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”
“This suggests that sons pass on parent care giving responsibilities to their sisters.”
In the UK, the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities, a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.
But many are doing so at the risk of their health.The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts who are not carers.
32. According to the passage, what’s the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly
A. Education. B. Gender.
C. Career. D. Income.
33. The US study finds that ________.
A. having a sister makes men less likely to look after their parents
B sons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old age
C. sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents
D. sons are unwilling to leave care giving responsibilities to their sisters
34. What does the author stress in the last paragraph
A. People should give up their jobs to care for the elderly.
B. Many care providers work longer hours than others.
C. Many care providers have potential health problems.
D. People shouldn’t pass on caring responsibilities to others.
35. The author develops the text by ________.
A. explaining social networks of careers
B. describing people’s experiences
C. comparing different gender behaviors
D. analyzing various research and data

67. 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。
“Get out of my house, you rude, unwanted, ugly and stupid child!” Aunt Foully shouted as Justin before closing the front door. Justin looked out at the grass that surrounded his aunt’s garden. He sighed as he remembered the list of housework that his evil aunt had planned for him after he got home from school. It was just not fair. If his parents had not died, he would not have to spend his entire life with Aunt Foully. Aunt Foully was a woman with crazy, curly, orange hair. She had small, black eyes, a big nose and a mouth so wide that you could have fitted a dining plate in it. Worse still, she had a heart so cold that you would freeze if you went near it.
As Justin dragged himself to school, he felt angry and disappointed. He wanted to express his anger at somebody. He decided that for the whole day, he was going to be rude to everyone, including Madame Bell, who was a little hard of hearing.
As he stepped into the classroom and took his place at the back of the room, he started making loud noise with his mouth, and started throwing paper airplanes at his classmates. Whenever Madame Bell looked back at the class, Justin would stop and pretended to be reading his history textbook. After throwing paper plans at his classmates for ten minutes, Justin started to feel bored. He slowly took an eraser out of his pencil case and threw it at a girl in the first row named Jody. But at that moment, Jody bent down and the eraser hit Madame Bell on her back. Madame Bell turned around quickly but crashed into a water bottle on the table, water and broken glass all over the floor. Madame Bell glared at the whole class, face red with anger, and shouted, “Who threw the eraser ”
All eyes turned to Justin as he sank lower and lower in his seat. “Justin Wang, go to the headmaster’s office immediately!” Madame Bell ordered, Justin stood up and went out of the classroom.
Paragraph 1:
Justin walked in the headmaster’s office.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After the long talk with the principal, Justin went back to his classroom.
