Being deaf in a hearing world can lead to painful feelings of isolation (孤独).
Waitress Kelsey recently shared an experience on a social media sharing site that quickly zoomed (陡直上升) to the top of the “ front page of the Internet”. In her brief post, Kelsey explained that she waits tables at a bar during the evenings, and one night she noticed a deaf man sitting alone in her section (区域).
When Kelsey isn’t working at the bar she makes a good hourly pay doing sign language interpretation (翻译), so she sensed an opportunity to use her skill to make this customer feel a little less alone in the world. She approached his table and began chatting with him in sign language.
When the table next to his noticed their silent conversation they asked Kelsey how long she’d been signing. They had a brief conversation about her goal of becoming certified (合格的) to interpret sign language in a medical or mental health setting.She didn’t think much about the whole exchange until the customers had left the restaurant and she was tidying up the tables. There, on the table of the customers who’d seen her American sign language conversation with the deaf man, was a handwritten note on the receipt.
“Thank you for what you do; it absolutely matters!” the note said. “Good luck with finishing your degree!” Not only that, but they’d left her a $100 tip.
Kelsey was moved by the kind note, especially because she wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary. To her, she was just conversing with someone in a language that only they understood. Yet to the deaf man and the people seated next to him she’d bridged a gap and helped someone who probably feels lonely a lot of the time.
Kelsey shared the note on the Internet to spread more love and light in the world.
4. What do we know about Kelsey’s work at the bar？
A. It is her part-time job.
B. It goes beyond her ability.
C. It requires her to work all day long.
D. It offers her a chance to learn sign language.
5. What can we infer about the deaf man
A. He left Kelsey $100 as a tip.
B. He could use sign language.
C. He found it hard to communicate with Kelsey.
D. He was a friend of the customers at the next table.
6. What did the people at the table next to the deaf man think of Kelsey
A. She is wasting time working as a waitress. B. She needs to study further for a degree.
C. She should use the Internet as a tool. D. She is so kind to serve those in need.
7. What lesson can we learn from Kelsey’s experience
A. Practice makes perfect. B. It is never too late to learn.
C. Kindness is repaid with kindness. D. When in Rome, do as Romans do.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C

On February 6, 2020, American astronaut Christina Koch arrived back on Earth after 328 days in space. Her time in space is just one of the records set by herself. That’s the longest spaceflight ever made by a woman, and just one of the many things Ms. Koch achieved in space.
Ms. Koch took off from Earth for the International Space Station (ISS) on March 12, 2019. While in space, she made 5, 248 trips around the Earth, travelling 2, 237 million kilometers, which is roughly the same as 291 trips to the Moon and back. During her 11 months on the ISS, Ms. Koch took part in six spacewalks, spending over 42 hours in all outside the station. In October of 2019, Ms. Koch led the first ever all-female spacewalk with Jessica Meir.
But for most astronauts, space travel isn’t about setting records. It’s about doing science. Ms. Koch took part in a wide variety of special experiments, including studying how crystals (晶体) grow in space, how atoms (原子) behave in extreme cold and learning more about growing plants in low gravity. Growing plants in space could be an important way to provide food on future trips. She also tested a new way of separating liquids from gases. This experiment could lead to simple methods of cleaning water and air in space, which could be very important for future space travel.
Ms. Koch isn’t just a scientist and an astronaut. She is also being studied. She’s part of a NASA program studying how astronauts are affected by being in space for long periods of time. Her trip was only 12 days shorter than the American record set by Scott Kelly in 2016. As they did with Mr. Kelly, NASA scientists are looking carefully at ways Ms. Koch’s body has been affected by her time in space. That research is important for the longer space trips NASA hopes to make in the future, such as for a base on the moon or a trip to Mars.
8. Which of the following is an achievement Ms. Koch has made
A. Making the longest spaceflight by herself.
B. Leading the first women-only spacewalk.
C. Cleaning water and air successfully in space.
D. Staying outside the ISS continuously for 42 hours.
9. What does the author want to tell us with so many detailed figures in Paragraph 2
A. Koch made historic breakthroughs in space.
B. Koch went through a life-threatening space trip.
C. Koch completed admirable tasks in the space travel.
D. Koch is the most experienced astronaut in NASA.
10. Which statement agrees with the text
A. Astronauts are competing to set new records.
B. Koch’s team produced their own food in space.
C. NASA has founded a scientific base on the moon.
D. Koch’s research is significant for space exploration.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Record-Setting Astronaut Koch Returns to Earth
B. US Astronauts Carried out Experiments in Space
C. Spacewalks Have Successfully Been Done on the ISS
D. NASA is Studying Astronauts for Longer Space Trips
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段In October of 2019, Ms. Koch led the first ever all-female spacewalk with Jessica Meir.“在2019年10月， Koch女士与Jessica Meir 一起领导了第一次只有女性的太空旅行。所以可知，Koch女士领导了第一次只有女性的太空旅行。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句That’s the longest spaceflight ever made by a woman, and just one of the many things Ms. Koch achieved in space.可知，这次最长时间的太空旅行只是Koch女士在太空中完成的任务之一。然后在接下来的第二段就用大量的数字列举了她在太空旅行中完成了很多令人敬佩的任务。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段This experiment could lead to simple methods of cleaning water and air in space, which could be very important for future space travel.可知，Koch女士的实验可以导致一种简单的清洗太空中的水和空气的方法，所以可知，她的研究对于未来的空间探索具有重要意义。故选D。

D
It is said that many brain training products is able to keep us mentally(精神的) fit. Some products even claim that brain training can prevent dementia (痴呆) in old age. Many such products are only money-making rubbish. Also, there is no scientific proof that games or other brain exercises can have this effect(影响). That is what the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) pointed out.
As we get older, our thinking gets slower and it is harder for us to learn new things. Many people try to stay mentally fit by, for example, learning a new language or doing crossword puter games that aim to keep the brain active are also becoming increasingly popular. “Doing exercises like trying to find symbols on a computer screen as fast as possible can actually improve your reaction time,” explains Professor Peter Sawicki, the Institute’s Director. “But scientific studies have shown that brain training only leads to an improvement in one aspect that it is aimed at. So if you learn to find symbols quickly, it does not mean that you will be able to improve your memory.”
Research has not shown that brain training can keep up or enhance (加强) people’s overall mental abilities as commonly thought. “So there is no need to feel bad if you do not enjoy brain training: there are no health reasons for doing it,” says Sawicki. “But if you think brain training exercises are interesting, you can try out different things. For example, completing the order of letters can improve your logic skills. And practicing word association techniques can help you to remember things better. You can do all of these things at home on your own.”
12. What can we learn about the brain training products according to the passage
A. They are expensive. B. They are effective.
C. They are not reliable（可信的）. D. They are harmful to the brain.
13. According to Peter Sawicki, brain training exercises can________.
A. only improve your reaction time B. help all people improve their memory
C. keep the brain active for a longer time D. only improve a certain ability of people
14. The last paragraph shows that brain training exercises should be done_______.
A. when your thinking gets much slower B. under strict instructions (指导)
C when you can’t learn new things D. in a relaxing way
15. On the whole, researchers think that brain training exercises_______.
A. shouldn’t be encouraged B. aren’t as effective as commonly thought
C. may benefit people in some indirect ways D. are just designed for young people to have fun
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述研究发现大脑训练并不会像人们认为的那样提高人的大脑能力。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“It is said that many brain training products is able to keep us mentally(精神的) fit. Some products even claim that brain training can prevent dementia (痴呆) in old age. Many such products are only money-making rubbish. Also, there is no scientific proof that games or other brain exercises can have this effect（据说很多大脑训练产品能让我们保持精神健康，一些产品甚至声称大脑训练可以预防老年痴呆症。许多这样的产品只是赚钱的垃圾。而且，没有科学证据表明游戏或其他大脑锻炼可以产生这种效果。）”可知，这种大脑训练产品是不可靠的，故选择C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“explains Professor Peter Sawicki, the Institute’s Director. “But scientific studies have shown that brain training only leads to an improvement in one aspect that it is aimed at. So if you learn to find symbols quickly, it does not mean that you will be able to improve your memory.”（研究所所长彼得·萨维基教授解释说：“但科学研究表明，大脑训练只会在其目标的一个方面带来改善。因此，如果你学会快速找到符号，并不意味着你就能改善记忆力。”）”可知，据彼得·萨维基教授所说，大脑训练练习只是能提升你的某一方面的能力，故选择D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Research has not shown that brain training can keep up or enhance (加强) people’s overall mental abilities as commonly thought. “So there is no need to feel bad if you do not enjoy brain training: there are no health reasons for doing it,” says Sawicki. “But if you think brain training exercises are interesting, you can try out different things.（研究还没有表明大脑训练可以像通常认为的那样保持或加强人们的整体智力。“因此，如果你不喜欢大脑训练，没有必要感到糟糕，因为这样做没有健康理由，”萨维基说，“但如果你认为大脑训练很有趣，你可以尝试不同的东西。”）”可知，萨维基认为做大脑训练时应该放松，不要想太多，如果觉得有趣就做，如果觉得不喜欢就不做。D项“in a relaxing way(用放松的方式)”符合题意，故选择D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Research has not shown that brain training can keep up or enhance (加强) people’s overall (全面的) mental abilities as commonly thought.(研究还没有表明大脑训练可以像通常认为的那样保持或加强人们的整体智力)”可知，研究人员认为大脑训练没有人们通常认为的那样有效。故选择B项。

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Training “smart” is more important than the amount of daily practice.
Too often an athlete believes that the more he or she practices, the more proficient he/she will become. ___16___ It can also be harmful to achieving the desired outcome. An athlete who practices frequently and hard without an overall plan will be more likely to suffer the effects of overtraining rather than actually improving performance. ___17___ Yet, by developing a set of specific goals and a plan for reaching those goals, athletes can more effectively use their practice time and even reduce the time required in practice to attain their goals. Obviously, this does not mean that the martial artist can achieve rank or win tournaments with little practice. ___18___
Setting performance goals is beneficial for a number of reasons. ___19___ When the martial artist is able to observe progress towards a goal on a daily or weekly basis, he or she is more likely to remain interested in achieving that goal. If instead, he/she engages in routine practice towards a belt rank that is six months away, it is easier to become discouraged. In addition, goal setting helps the athlete know what is expected which allows for greater attention to a particular skill that needs to be developed. ___20___ Finally, setting realistic, achievable goals increases the athlete’s self-confidence which is crucial to the ultimate outcome of success. Self-confidence increases because his/her attitude regarding success becomes more positive as goals are accomplished.
A. It is not always the case.
B. However, such training is ineffective.
C. It reduces boredom and increases motivation.
D. Thus, practice becomes more focused and efficient.
E. It means that the athlete does not need to waste time.
F. Firstly, it requires less patience and boosts confidence.
G. Typically, they will experience burn-out, exhaustion, and increased injuries.
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. E 19. C 20. D
【解析】

【18题详解】
空格上句Obviously, this does not mean that the martial artist can achieve rank or win tournaments with little practice.意为“显然，这并不意味着武术家可以通过很少的练习获得排名或赢得比赛。由此可推断出，后文要阐述的是这意味着……。E项It means that the athlete does not need to waste time.意为“这意味着运动员不需要浪费时间”，选项中的It means that与上文的this does not mean that相对照，能够承接上文，符合段落主旨，表明了没有一个全面的计划而只是经常练习，对于运动员来说是浪费时间。故选E项。
【19题详解】
根据空格上句Setting performance goals is beneficial for a number of reasons.可知，设定成绩目标有很多好处。由此可推断出，下文应该阐述到底有什么好处。C项It reduces boredom and increases motivation.意为“它减少了无聊，增加了动力。”，阐述了设定成绩目标的好处，能够承接上文。后文中的he or she is more likely to remain interested in achieving that goal.（他或她更有可能对继续实现这一目标感兴趣）也举例说明了设定成绩目标的好处。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据空格上句In addition, goal setting helps the athlete know what is expected which allows for greater attention to a particular skill that needs to be developed.可知，目标设定有助于运动员了解期望的是什么，这使我们能够更加关注需要培养的特定技能。这里阐述的是目标设定有助于提高关注度，D项Thus, practice becomes more focused and efficient.意为“因此，练习变得更加集中和有效。”，进一步说明了目标设定的好处，能够承接上文，都讲述了目标设定可以提高练习的针对性和关注度。故选D项。

When she got to her door, she dragged the boy inside and turned on the light.

Being deaf in a hearing world can lead to painful feelings of isolation (孤独).
Waitress Kelsey recently shared an experience on a social media sharing site that quickly zoomed (陡直上升) to the top of the “ front page of the Internet”. In her brief post, Kelsey explained that she waits tables at a bar during the evenings, and one night she noticed a deaf man sitting alone in her section (区域).
When Kelsey isn’t working at the bar she makes a good hourly pay doing sign language interpretation (翻译), so she sensed an opportunity to use her skill to make this customer feel a little less alone in the world. She approached his table and began chatting with him in sign language.
When the table next to his noticed their silent conversation they asked Kelsey how long she’d been signing. They had a brief conversation about her goal of becoming certified (合格的) to interpret sign language in a medical or mental health setting.She didn’t think much about the whole exchange until the customers had left the restaurant and she was tidying up the tables. There, on the table of the customers who’d seen her American sign language conversation with the deaf man, was a handwritten note on the receipt.
“Thank you for what you do; it absolutely matters!” the note said. “Good luck with finishing your degree!” Not only that, but they’d left her a $100 tip.
Kelsey was moved by the kind note, especially because she wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary. To her, she was just conversing with someone in a language that only they understood. Yet to the deaf man and the people seated next to him she’d bridged a gap and helped someone who probably feels lonely a lot of the time.
Kelsey shared the note on the Internet to spread more love and light in the world.
4. What do we know about Kelsey’s work at the bar？
A. It is her part-time job.
B. It goes beyond her ability.
C. It requires her to work all day long.
D. It offers her a chance to learn sign language.
5. What can we infer about the deaf man
A. He left Kelsey $100 as a tip.
B. He could use sign language.
C. He found it hard to communicate with Kelsey.
D. He was a friend of the customers at the next table.
6. What did the people at the table next to the deaf man think of Kelsey
A. She is wasting time working as a waitress. B. She needs to study further for a degree.
C. She should use the Internet as a tool. D. She is so kind to serve those in need.
7. What lesson can we learn from Kelsey’s experience
A. Practice makes perfect. B. It is never too late to learn.
C. Kindness is repaid with kindness. D. When in Rome, do as Romans do.
C
On February 6, 2020, American astronaut Christina Koch arrived back on Earth after 328 days in space. Her time in space is just one of the records set by herself. That’s the longest spaceflight ever made by a woman, and just one of the many things Ms. Koch achieved in space.
Ms. Koch took off from Earth for the International Space Station (ISS) on March 12, 2019. While in space, she made 5, 248 trips around the Earth, travelling 2, 237 million kilometers, which is roughly the same as 291 trips to the Moon and back. During her 11 months on the ISS, Ms. Koch took part in six spacewalks, spending over 42 hours in all outside the station. In October of 2019, Ms. Koch led the first ever all-female spacewalk with Jessica Meir.
But for most astronauts, space travel isn’t about setting records. It’s about doing science. Ms. Koch took part in a wide variety of special experiments, including studying how crystals (晶体) grow in space, how atoms (原子) behave in extreme cold and learning more about growing plants in low gravity. Growing plants in space could be an important way to provide food on future trips. She also tested a new way of separating liquids from gases. This experiment could lead to simple methods of cleaning water and air in space, which could be very important for future space travel.
Ms. Koch isn’t just a scientist and an astronaut. She is also being studied. She’s part of a NASA program studying how astronauts are affected by being in space for long periods of time. Her trip was only 12 days shorter than the American record set by Scott Kelly in 2016. As they did with Mr. Kelly, NASA scientists are looking carefully at ways Ms. Koch’s body has been affected by her time in space. That research is important for the longer space trips NASA hopes to make in the future, such as for a base on the moon or a trip to Mars.

It is said that many brain training products is able to keep us mentally(精神的) fit. Some products even claim that brain training can prevent dementia (痴呆) in old age. Many such products are only money-making rubbish. Also, there is no scientific proof that games or other brain exercises can have this effect(影响). That is what the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) pointed out.
As we get older, our thinking gets slower and it is harder for us to learn new things. Many people try to stay mentally fit by, for example, learning a new language or doing crossword puter games that aim to keep the brain active are also becoming increasingly popular. “Doing exercises like trying to find symbols on a computer screen as fast as possible can actually improve your reaction time,” explains Professor Peter Sawicki, the Institute’s Director. “But scientific studies have shown that brain training only leads to an improvement in one aspect that it is aimed at. So if you learn to find symbols quickly, it does not mean that you will be able to improve your memory.”
Research has not shown that brain training can keep up or enhance (加强) people’s overall mental abilities as commonly thought. “So there is no need to feel bad if you do not enjoy brain training: there are no health reasons for doing it,” says Sawicki. “But if you think brain training exercises are interesting, you can try out different things. For example, completing the order of letters can improve your logic skills. And practicing word association techniques can help you to remember things better. You can do all of these things at home on your own.”
12. What can we learn about the brain training products according to the passage
A. They are expensive. B. They are effective.
C. They are not reliable（可信的）. D. They are harmful to the brain.
13. According to Peter Sawicki, brain training exercises can________.
A. only improve your reaction time B. help all people improve their memory
C. keep the brain active for a longer time D. only improve a certain ability of people
14. The last paragraph shows that brain training exercises should be done_______.
A. when your thinking gets much slower B. under strict instructions (指导)
C. when you can’t learn new things D. in a relaxing way
15. On the whole, researchers think that brain training exercises_______.
A. shouldn’t be encouraged B. aren’t as effective as commonly thought
C. may benefit people in some indirect ways D. are just designed for young people to have fun

Training “smart” is more important than the amount of daily practice.
Too often an athlete believes that the more he or she practices, the more proficient he/she will become. ___16___ It can also be harmful to achieving the desired outcome. An athlete who practices frequently and hard without an overall plan will be more likely to suffer the effects of overtraining rather than actually improving performance. ___17___ Yet, by developing a set of specific goals and a plan for reaching those goals, athletes can more effectively use their practice time and even reduce the time required in practice to attain their goals. Obviously, this does not mean that the martial artist can achieve rank or win tournaments with little practice. ___18___
Setting performance goals is beneficial for a number of reasons. ___19___ When the martial artist is able to observe progress towards a goal on a daily or weekly basis, he or she is more likely to remain interested in achieving that goal. If instead, he/she engages in routine practice towards a belt rank that is six months away, it is easier to become discouraged. In addition, goal setting helps the athlete know what is expected which allows for greater attention to a particular skill that needs to be developed. ___20___ Finally, setting realistic, achievable goals increases the athlete’s self-confidence which is crucial to the ultimate outcome of success. Self-confidence increases because his/her attitude regarding success becomes more positive as goals are accomplished.
A. It is not always the case.
B. However, such training is ineffective.
C. It reduces boredom and increases motivation.
D. Thus, practice becomes more focused and efficient.
E. It means that the athlete does not need to waste time.
F. Firstly, it requires less patience and boosts confidence.
G. Typically, they will experience burn-out, exhaustion, and increased injuries.

阅读下面短文并完整回答问题。注意：不能引用文中原句，每个回答不超过10个单词。
It was about eleven o’clock at night, and a large woman was walking alone, when a boy ran up behind her and tried to grab her purse. But the boy’s weight and the weight of the purse caused him to lose his balance, so he fell on his back on the sidewalk.
The large woman simply turned around, picked the boy up by his shirt front, and shook him until his teeth rattled. Firmly gripped and sweat rolling down on his face, the boy whispered. “I’m very sorry, lady, I’m sorry.” But the woman just dragged him up the street. When she got to her door, she dragged the boy inside and turned on the light.
“You go to that sink and wash your face,” said the woman, “Let the water run until it gets warm,” she said. “Here’s a clean towel. I would lake you nowhere. We’ll eat,” said the woman.
“I wanted a pair of shoes,” said the boy. “Well, you didn’t have to grab my purse to get some new shoes,” said the woman. “You could have asked me.” “Madam ” The water dripping from his face, the boy looked at her.
“I was young once and I wanted things I could not get” She said. Silence. “Now you sit down while I fix us something to eat.”
She heated some beans and ham, made the cocoa, and set the table. The woman did not ask the boy anything. Instead, as they ate, she told him about her job in a hotel. Then she cut him a half of her ten-cent cake. “Eat some more, son,” she said.
When they finished eating, she got up and said, “Now, here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself new shoes. And next time, behave yourself, son, from now on.”
She led him down the hall to the front door and opened it. “Goodnight! Behave yourself, boy!” she said. The boy wanted to say something else other than “Thank you, Madam” to her, but he couldn’t. In fact, he barely managed to say “Thank you” before he shut the door. And he never saw her again.
