Australia’s Great Barrier Reef has lost more than half of its corals since 1995 due to warmer seas driven by climate change, a study has found. Scientists found all types of corals had suffered a decline across the world’s largest reef system. The sharp falls came after mass bleaching（白化）events in 2016 and 2017. More mass bleaching occurred this year. “There is no time to lose—we must sharply decrease greenhouse gas emissions ASAP,” the researchers said.
The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, was conducted by marine scientists at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies in Queensland. Scientists assessed the health and size of coral colonies across the reef from 1995 to 2017. They found populations had dropped by more than 50% in all coral sizes and species, but especially in branching and table-shaped corals. These are the large, structural species which usually provide habitats for fish and other marine life.
Prof Terry Hughes, a study co-author, said these coral types had been “worst affected” by the back-to-back mass bleachings which damaged two-thirds of the reef. Bleaching occurs when corals under stress drive out the algae—known as zooxanthellae(虫黄藻)—that give them colour.
Corals can recover if normal conditions return, but it can take decades. A study in 2019 found that damaged coral colonies had struggled to recover because most of the adult corals had died. “A lifeful coral population has millions of small, baby corals, as well as many large ones,” said lead author Dr Andy Dietzel. “Our results show the ability of the Great Barrier Reef to recover its resilience is compromised compared to the past, because there are fewer babies, and fewer large breeding adults.”
24. What has been found in the study of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef
A. All types of corals has been on the rise.
B. Over half of its corals have been lost.
C. Mass bleaching events came after the sharpest falls.
D. The variety of sea creatures has dropped.
25. What caused mass bleaching of corals
A. Greenhouse gas emissions. B. Loss of habitats.
C. Evolution of corals. D. Lack of algae.
26. Which word can best describe Dr Andy Dietzel’s attitude to the Great Barrier Reef’s future
A. Indifferent. B. Concerned. C. Positive. D. Enthusiastic.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Great Barrier Reef has lost half of its corals since 1995.
B. Great Barrier Reef has suffered mass bleaching.
C. Global Warming has caused warmer seas.
D. Sea pollution has caused the loss of corals.
答案：BDBA

C
Thanks to a program called Hunger: Not Impossible (HNI), hungry people could have access to fresh, healthy food in their neighborhood by texting one simple word: Hungry. On one hand, people in charge of the program learn that each year 42 million Americans go hungry including 15. 9 million children. On the other, grocery stores, restaurants, and food providers throw out 60 million tons of unused food. HNI had a solution — connectivity.
HNI started fundraising and developing partnerships. Then they make plans with organizations and charities to help locate people who suffer from food insecurity. And they reached out to technical experts at Salesforce who developed an easy-to-use text-driven platform using a chat box. With all the elements in place, a simple text started the goodwill rolling.
When a needy person types in “Hungry” and sends the text message to HNI, they receive a message, back showing the closest locations that are offering free food. They also get a text displaying different menu options. They simply select a restaurant, choose the meal, then head to the takeout counter where they pick up their free meal alongside paying customers. No questions are asked and dignity is preserved. The pilot project began in Venice Beach, California, providing over 250 meals to more than 50 youth in three weeks. HNI then grew to
Bentonville, Arkansas, Klamath Falls Oregon and St. Louis Missouri.
“Providing food is the first step in transforming lives for the best.” Michelle DiBattiste, operations and volunteer manager at Safe Place for Youth said in the press release, “By satisfying that initial survived instinct of finding food,Hunger: Not Impossible provides necessary space for personal growth, self-realization and finding stability. If there were less hungry people in the world, the crime rate would be reduced. There would be fewer homeless people, and the cost of healthcare would cut down. ”
28. What does HNI do to help hungry people
A. Make a link between hungry people and food providers.
B. Offer hungry people fresh and healthy food.
C. Ask some restaurants to donate money.
D. Text a message to a grocery store.
29. What does the underlined word “elements” refer to in paragraph 2
A. Fund, restaurants, technical experts and the number of hungry people.
B. Text messages, location of the stores, menu options and the takeout counter.
C. The pilot project, people suffering from food insecurity, a chat box and plans.
D. Fund, partnership, locating hungry people, and an easy-to-use text-driven platform.
30. What can we infer from what Michelle DiBattiste said
A. Hungry people will live a better life. B. HNI is good at helping hungry people.
C. HNI is good for the people and society. D. Personal growth is extremely important.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. A Programme Connects Hungry People with Food
B. Feeding the Needy Is Necessary for Social Stability
C. A Simple Word Helps People in Need of Food
D. Hungry People Are Grateful to Restaurants
【答案】ADCA
【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。面对人们的饥饱问题，和一些餐馆的浪费现象，一种新的项目 HNI 提出了新的解决方法，把饥饿人群和食物联系起来。
【28 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句话“HNI had a solution—connectivity.”可知，HNI 提出了解决办法 —connectivity，即把饥饿人群和餐馆或者提供食物的地方结合起来。故选 A。
【29 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段划线词前的描述“HNI started fundraising and developing partnerships. Then they make plans with organizations and charities to help locate people who suffer from food insecurity. And they reached out to technical experts at Salesforce who developed an easy-to-use text-driven platform using a chat box. （HNI 开始筹集资金并发展伙伴关系。然后他们与组织和慈善机构一起制定计划，帮助寻找那些遭受食品不安全之苦的人。他们联系了 Salesforce 的技术专家，后者利用聊天框开发了一个易于使用的文本驱动平台。）”可知，HNI 需要有资金的支持，有合作伙伴，知道如何定位人群，如何利用平台收发信息等，所以此处的 “elements” 指代前文的 “Fund, partnership, locating hungry people, and an easy-to-use text-driven platform.（资金，合作人，定位饥饿的人，以及一个易于使用的文本驱动平台。）故选 D。
【30 题详解】
推理判断题。根据 Michelle DiBattiste 所说的“If there were less hungry people in the world, the crime rate would be reduced, there would be fewer homeless people, and the cost of healthcare would cut down（如果世界上挨饿的人少一些，犯罪率就会降低，无家可归的人就会少一些，医疗费用就会降低）”可知，这个计划将使很多饥饿的人满足基本需求，这样一来就会降低犯罪率，同时减少医疗保健费用。显然这个计划对个人和社会都有好处。故选 C。
【31 题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读文章，并根据第一段“Thanks to a program called Hunger：Not Impossible (HNI), hungry people could have access to fresh, healthy food in their neighborhood by texting one simple word: Hungry. On one hand, people in charge of the program learn that each year 42 million Americans go hungry including 15. 9 million children. On the other hand, grocery stores, restaurants, and food providers throw out 60 million tons of unused food. HNI had a solution—connectivity. 多亏了一个名为“饥饿:并非不可能”(Hunger: Not Impossible,
HNI)的项目，饥饿的人们可以通过发短信一个简单的词:饥饿，就能在他们的社区获得新鲜、健康的食物。一方面。负责这个项目的人了解到，每年有 4200 万美国人挨饿，其中包括 159 万名儿童。另一方面，杂货店、餐馆和食品供应商会扔掉 6000 万吨未吃的食物。HNI 有一个解决方案—把他们联系起来。)”可知，短文的最佳标题为“一个项目将饥饿的人们与食物联系起来”。故选 A。
D
Scientists have designed “transparent wood” that could replace conventional glass in windows. The innovation was developed using wood from the balsa tree, which is native to South and Central America, and claims to be five times more thermally efficient than glass.
The team treated balsa wood in an oxidizing bath that bleaches it of nearly all visibility and then penetrated（渗透） it with a synthetic polymer (合成聚合物) called polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), creating a product that is virtually transparent. Unlike traditional glass, the transparent wood can bear much stronger impacts and will bend or break when damaged, instead of shattering.
The transparent wood was created by teams at the University of Maryland and University of Colorado, which set out to find a greener alternative to conventional glass – a production that creates 25,000 tons in emissions each year.
Along with contributing to greenhouse gases, glass contributes to a loss of energy. Residential building windows in particular account for 10-25% of the heat loss due to their poor thermal management capability, the team wrote in the study. Exploring energy efficient window materials is thus highly desirable to address heating costs, energy shortages, and the global impact of climate change associated with increased carbon emissions.
The team notes that the bonding between PVA and cellulose in the wood, creates a tightly packed structure that allows for more thermal protection and makes it more long-lived and lighter than glass.
“Switching to transparent wood could prove to be cost efficient as well,” researchers shared in a statement. It is approximately five times more thermally efficient than glass, cutting energy costs. It is made from a sustainable, renewable resource with low carbon emissions. It’s also compatible with existing industrial processing equipment, making the transition into manufacturing an easy prospect.
32. What is the meaning of “transparent” in paragraph 1
A. man-made B. as clear as glass
C. energy–saving D. environmentally-friendly
33. Which of the following about “transparent wood” is NOT true
A. The material of it comes from a balsa tree in nature.
B. It won’t break into pieces even when damaged.
C. It is easier to lose heat to cool the room in summer.
D. It is lighter and can be used longer than glass.
34. What’s the text mainly about
A. A new way to produce transparent wood .
B. Transparent wood’s advantage over conventional glass.
C. A kind of tough wood is discovered.
D. More balsa trees will be planted.
35. What is the purpose of inventing “transparent wood”
A. to save cost and make more money.
B. to replace air conditioner and save energy.
C. to cut down greenhouse gas to protect environment.
D. to find a greener choice to replace glass.
【答案】BCBD
【解析】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种木材经过人工处理后变透明可以代替玻璃。
B. 猜测词义题。根据第一段transparent wood可取代glass，可知是透明的木材。
C. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段 “…claims to be five times more thermally efficient than glass.” 和 “Residential building windows in particular account for 10–25% of the heat loss due to their poor thermal management capability” 可知，C不对。
B. 主旨大意题。全文主要介绍transparent wood相对于传统玻璃的优势。
D. 细节理解题。根据 “…which set out to find a greener alternative to conventional glass”可知，研究团队的初衷是找到可以替代传统玻璃的更环保的材料。

More than the challenge of fitting into a new culture, there are many benefits that a student can get with an exchange program. These benefits include:
Diverse academic opportunities. It’s not actually the travel that students would love to study abroad. 36 Instead, it will be an offering of diverse opportunities for the student. For example, the student will be able to experience the differences of teaching methods, educational formats and academic program offerings.
37 Studying in another country opens the student to different surroundings, which makes the student know about the country’s customs, people and regions, Knowing other culture also teaches the student how to be open-minded.
Personality development. 38 Thus, the student needs to make decisions on his or her own and suffer the consequences or enjoy the fruits of that decision. With this, the student is taught how real life is, what it means to be responsible, and how being resourceful can help in his or her survival. It’s no wonder that most students who returned after the exchange program were seen with significant improvement on their personal development. 39
So, why not let your child have the benefits of a student exchange program Exchange programs or study-abroad programs are great investments for the student. 40 Just imagine, by transforming students in a foreign country the society is starting to build a new blood of more mature people who might just be able to create a better tomorrow for the generations to come.
A. Improved protection of social rights.
B. Better awareness of cultural differences.
C. More importantly, it is helpful for the improvement of the society.
D. Most of them are more confident and have better decision-making skills.
E. The hosting school can also benefit by making a student’s dream come true.
F. Although students really love traveling, studying is not a travel-fun activity at all times.
G. Being an exchange student often means living far away from home and parental guidance.

答案：41-45 CBACC 46-50 BBCDB 51-55 ADABA 56-60 ABDBA
解析：
41. C 本空后的promote and aid communication是社交网络的“目的(purpose)”——促进和帮助沟通。
42. B 根据上句中的promote and aid communication和本句中的doing more harm than good可知, 这两句之间为转折关系, 故However符合此处语境。
43. A 根据常识可知, 人们“通常(normally)”在社交网络上发布自己和朋友的照片。
44. C 根据下文内容, 尤其是showing themselves drinking, smoking, and partying可以看出, 青少年使用社交网络的方式不对, 可能会“引起危险(dangerous)”。
45. C 根据下文中的the results they want可知, 青少年往往“想(want)”给同龄人留下好的印象。
46. B 根据本段开头的post pictures可知, 青少年通过“发布(post)”有意思的照片吸引关注。
47. B 根据下文中的showing themselves drinking, smoking, and partying可知, 在青少年发布的照片中, 他们的“形象(images)”是有争议的。
48. C 根据常识及上文中的impress their peers可知, 青少年需要“酷(cool)”。
49. D 上文中的impress their peers提示了本题答案。
50. B 根据下文中的bullying可知, 在网上“攻击(attack)”他人更容易。另外, 下文中的the attack也提示了本题答案。
51. A 根据常识及本空后的even severer可知, 当面欺凌就已经“很难(difficult)”应付了, 应对网络欺凌更难。
52. D 根据本段中的bullying及attack可知, 这里指攻击他人、“让人痛苦的(cruel)”评论。
53. A 根据下句中的harder. . . to find the attacker可知, 由于在网上没人“目睹(witness)”这些攻击, 所以更难找到攻击者。
54. B 根据上句中的the attack可知, 这里指网络欺凌的“受害者(victim)”。
55. A 随着社交网络技术的频繁使用, 越来越少的人“当面(in person)”沟通。
56. A 根据本空后的due to the lack of personal communication可知, 由于缺乏人际交流, 很多人变得“更加孤独(lonelier)”。
57. B 根据本空前后的without person-to-person communication, have trouble speaking in public可知, 没有了面对面的交流, 我们会“失去(lose)”我们的语言技能, 连当众讲话都会有困难。
58. D 根据本空前的more difficult可知, 由于我们不“能(able)”读懂对方的肢体语言, 所以正常的辩论都会变得更加困难。
59. B 根据本空前的aids long-distance communication greatly和本空后的a stopping point可知, 这两个分句之间为转折关系, 故选but。
60. A 根据全文内容, 尤其是上句中的a stopping point可知, 作者认为我们不能把社交网络作为沟通的主要“方式(form)”。
第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分， 满分15分)

【答案】
（1）so改为such. 考查固定搭配。句意：我很遗憾知道你现在过得很不愉快。根据固定搭配so+形容词+a+单数名词=such+a+形容词+单数名词，故so改为such .
（2）where改为when. 考查定语从句。句意：每个人都要面对事情似乎越来越糟的特殊时期是很正常的，所以你不必那么担心。先行词为时间名词，在定语从句中作时间状语，所以用when引导，where作地点状语，故where改为when.
（3）many改为much. 考查词义辨析。句意：每个人都要面对事情似乎越来越糟的特殊时期是很正常的，所以你不必那么担心。修饰动词，所以用so much, so much还可以修饰不可数名词，so much修饰复数名词，故many改为much.
（4）learn前加to. 考查不定式。句意：最重要的是学会如何控制自己的脾气。作表语，所以用不定式，故learn前加to.
（5）our 改为your. 考查形容词性物主代词。句意：最重要的是学会如何控制自己的脾气。指对方，所以用形容词性物主代词your放在名词前面，故our 改为your.
（6）tip改为tips. 考查名词的数。句意：以下是两个有用的提示。前面有大于一的数字，所以用复数名词，故tip改为tips.
（7）talking改为talk. 考查祈使句。句意：首先，和你信任的人谈谈你的感受。本句为祈使句表示建议，所以用动词原形开头，故talking改为talk.
（8）for改为about. 考查介词。句意：首先，和你信任的人谈谈你的感受。表示"关于"，所以用介词about, 故for改为about.
（9）去掉be. 考查句子结构。句意：我希望你很快就会平静下来，继续实现你的目标。后面有系动词feel, 所以be多余，故去掉be.
（10）or改为and. 考查连词。句意：我希望你很快就会平静下来，继续实现你的目标。前后是并列关系，而不是选择关系，所以用and连接，故or改为and.

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef has lost more than half of its corals since 1995 due to warmer seas driven by climate change, a study has found. Scientists found all types of corals had suffered a decline across the world’s largest reef system. The sharp falls came after mass bleaching（白化）events in 2016 and 2017. More mass bleaching occurred this year. “There is no time to lose—we must sharply decrease greenhouse gas emissions ASAP,” the researchers said.
The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, was conducted by marine scientists at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies in Queensland. Scientists assessed the health and size of coral colonies across the reef from 1995 to 2017. They found populations had dropped by more than 50% in all coral sizes and species, but especially in branching and table-shaped corals. These are the large, structural species which usually provide habitats for fish and other marine life.
Prof Terry Hughes, a study co-author, said these coral types had been “worst affected” by the back-to-back mass bleachings which damaged two-thirds of the reef. Bleaching occurs when corals under stress drive out the algae—known as zooxanthellae(虫黄藻)—that give them colour.
Corals can recover if normal conditions return, but it can take decades. A study in 2019 found that damaged coral colonies had struggled to recover because most of the adult corals had died. “A lifeful coral population has millions of small, baby corals, as well as many large ones,” said lead author Dr Andy Dietzel. “Our results show the ability of the Great Barrier Reef to recover its resilience is compromised compared to the past, because there are fewer babies, and fewer large breeding adults.”
24. What has been found in the study of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef
A. All types of corals has been on the rise.
B. Over half of its corals have been lost.
C. Mass bleaching events came after the sharpest falls.
D. The variety of sea creatures has dropped.
25. What caused mass bleaching of corals
A. Greenhouse gas emissions. B. Loss of habitats.
C. Evolution of corals. D. Lack of algae.
26. Which word can best describe Dr Andy Dietzel’s attitude to the Great Barrier Reef’s future
A. Indifferent. B. Concerned. C. Positive. D. Enthusiastic.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Great Barrier Reef has lost half of its corals since 1995.
B. Great Barrier Reef has suffered mass bleaching.
C. Global Warming has caused warmer seas.
D. Sea pollution has caused the loss of corals.

Thanks to a program called Hunger: Not Impossible (HNI), hungry people could have access to fresh, healthy food in their neighborhood by texting one simple word: Hungry. On one hand, people in charge of the program learn that each year 42 million Americans go hungry including 15. 9 million children. On the other, grocery stores, restaurants, and food providers throw out 60 million tons of unused food. HNI had a solution — connectivity.
HNI started fundraising and developing partnerships. Then they make plans with organizations and charities to help locate people who suffer from food insecurity. And they reached out to technical experts at Salesforce who developed an easy-to-use text-driven platform using a chat box. With all the elements in place, a simple text started the goodwill rolling.
When a needy person types in “Hungry” and sends the text message to HNI, they receive a message, back showing the closest locations that are offering free food. They also get a text displaying different menu options. They simply select a restaurant, choose the meal, then head to the takeout counter where they pick up their free meal alongside paying customers. No questions are asked and dignity is preserved. The pilot project began in Venice Beach, California, providing over 250 meals to more than 50 youth in three weeks. HNI then grew to
Bentonville, Arkansas, Klamath Falls Oregon and St. Louis Missouri.
“Providing food is the first step in transforming lives for the best.” Michelle DiBattiste, operations and volunteer manager at Safe Place for Youth said in the press release, “By satisfying that initial survived instinct of finding food,Hunger: Not Impossible provides necessary space for personal growth, self-realization and finding stability. If there were less hungry people in the world, the crime rate would be reduced. There would be fewer homeless people, and the cost of healthcare would cut down. ”
28. What does HNI do to help hungry people
A. Make a link between hungry people and food providers.
B. Offer hungry people fresh and healthy food.
C. Ask some restaurants to donate money.
D. Text a message to a grocery store.
29. What does the underlined word “elements” refer to in paragraph 2
A. Fund, restaurants, technical experts and the number of hungry people.
B. Text messages, location of the stores, menu options and the takeout counter.
C. The pilot project, people suffering from food insecurity, a chat box and plans.
D. Fund, partnership, locating hungry people, and an easy-to-use text-driven platform.
30. What can we infer from what Michelle DiBattiste said
A. Hungry people will live a better life. B. HNI is good at helping hungry people.
C. HNI is good for the people and society. D. Personal growth is extremely important.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. A Programme Connects Hungry People with Food
B. Feeding the Needy Is Necessary for Social Stability
C. A Simple Word Helps People in Need of Food
D. Hungry People Are Grateful to Restaurants

Scientists have designed “transparent wood” that could replace conventional glass in windows. The innovation was developed using wood from the balsa tree, which is native to South and Central America, and claims to be five times more thermally efficient than glass.
The team treated balsa wood in an oxidizing bath that bleaches it of nearly all visibility and then penetrated（渗透） it with a synthetic polymer (合成聚合物) called polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), creating a product that is virtually transparent. Unlike traditional glass, the transparent wood can bear much stronger impacts and will bend or break when damaged, instead of shattering.
The transparent wood was created by teams at the University of Maryland and University of Colorado, which set out to find a greener alternative to conventional glass – a production that creates 25,000 tons in emissions each year.
Along with contributing to greenhouse gases, glass contributes to a loss of energy. Residential building windows in particular account for 10-25% of the heat loss due to their poor thermal management capability, the team wrote in the study. Exploring energy efficient window materials is thus highly desirable to address heating costs, energy shortages, and the global impact of climate change associated with increased carbon emissions.
The team notes that the bonding between PVA and cellulose in the wood, creates a tightly packed structure that allows for more thermal protection and makes it more long-lived and lighter than glass.
“Switching to transparent wood could prove to be cost efficient as well,” researchers shared in a statement. It is approximately five times more thermally efficient than glass, cutting energy costs. It is made from a sustainable, renewable resource with low carbon emissions. It’s also compatible with existing industrial processing equipment, making the transition into manufacturing an easy prospect.
32. What is the meaning of “transparent” in paragraph 1
A. man-made B. as clear as glass
C. energy–saving D. environmentally-friendly
33. Which of the following about “transparent wood” is NOT true
A. The material of it comes from a balsa tree in nature.
B. It won’t break into pieces even when damaged.
C. It is easier to lose heat to cool the room in summer.
D. It is lighter and can be used longer than glass.
34. What’s the text mainly about
A. A new way to produce transparent wood .
B. Transparent wood’s advantage over conventional glass.
C. A kind of tough wood is discovered.
D. More balsa trees will be planted.
35. What is the purpose of inventing “transparent wood”
A. to save cost and make more money.
B. to replace air conditioner and save energy.
C. to cut down greenhouse gas to protect environment.
D. to find a greener choice to replace glass.

More than the challenge of fitting into a new culture, there are many benefits that a student can get with an exchange program. These benefits include:
Diverse academic opportunities. It’s not actually the travel that students would love to study abroad. 36 Instead, it will be an offering of diverse opportunities for the student. For example, the student will be able to experience the differences of teaching methods, educational formats and academic program offerings.
37 Studying in another country opens the student to different surroundings, which makes the student know about the country’s customs, people and regions, Knowing other culture also teaches the student how to be open-minded.
Personality development. 38 Thus, the student needs to make decisions on his or her own and suffer the consequences or enjoy the fruits of that decision. With this, the student is taught how real life is, what it means to be responsible, and how being resourceful can help in his or her survival. It’s no wonder that most students who returned after the exchange program were seen with significant improvement on their personal development. 39
So, why not let your child have the benefits of a student exchange program Exchange programs or study-abroad programs are great investments for the student. 40 Just imagine, by transforming students in a foreign country the society is starting to build a new blood of more mature people who might just be able to create a better tomorrow for the generations to come.
A. Improved protection of social rights.
B. Better awareness of cultural differences.
C. More importantly, it is helpful for the improvement of the society.
D. Most of them are more confident and have better decision-making skills.
E. The hosting school can also benefit by making a student’s dream come true.
F. Although students really love traveling, studying is not a travel-fun activity at all times.
G. Being an exchange student often means living far away from home and parental guidance.
