二、阅读理解(共4小题;每小题5分,满分20分)
On August 3, 2020, a New Jersey schoolteacher named Julia Mooney put on a button-down dress and wore it to work. She wore it the next day and the next. In fact, she continued to wear that same dress for 100 days in a row. Julia wanted to get people—her middle school students, in particular—thinking about fashion in a new way and how we live in what she describes as a "culture of excess", closets overflowing with clothes far more than we need.
At first, Julia said nothing to her students about her experiment. There was no formal class discussion until several weeks later, at which point the students were responsive. Julia said that her students could really understand the idea that we need to judge each other based on what we do but not what we wear. "As they try to define themselves, the students are often identifying themselves with brands or outward things. Many seemed excited to have a reason to talk about how silly all of that really is," she said.
A quest for greater simplicity is partly what inspired Julia in the first place. On her website, she wrote that "spending a long time thinking and worrying about what to wear in the morning will be a thing of the past". It also solved the problem of limited closet space in an old house.
If there was a tear(裂口), Julia patched it with her sewing machine. She was careful with it so she wore an apron(围裙) to keep it clean-—just like people did in years gone by. She washed the dress on weekends.
"The challenge I'm presenting is this: Let's think before we buy it, wear it, throw it away and buy one again. Are we just perpetuating(使持续) a culture that defines us based on what we're wearing rather than what we're doing What if we spent our energy trying to be good interesting humans instead of trying to look good and interesting " she said.
Julia herself is back to wearing pants to work, but the effect of the experiment lingers. She said, "I'm expressing my interest in the health of our planet and the people who occupy it, while channeling less of my energy into my wardrobe and more into loving my children, being patient with my students and embracing my day-to-day existence."
11. Why did Julia Mooney wear the same dress continuously
A. She liked that dress most. B. She tried to save time and money.
C. She had to follow a fast-fashion trend. D. She wanted to arouse people's reflection.
12. Which word best describes the students' attitude to the culture of judging people by their appearance
A. Opposed. B. Indifferent. C. Uncertain. D. Optimistic.
13. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 4
A. The aim Julia wanted to achieve.
B. The influence Julia was trying to exert.
C. Efforts Julia made to keep the plan going well.
D. Difficulties Julia encountered in carrying out the plan.
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. It is our responsibility to protect the earth's environment.
B. Julia is putting more energy into worthwhile things.
C. Julia doesn't care what she wears every day.
D. People should be grateful for their daily lives.
三、七选五(共5小题;每小题4分,满分20分)
This app could checkmate dating game
George Church, a leading professor of genetics at Harvard University, is planning to create a dating app that can match users based on their genetic agreement.
①_____ Two people considering going on a date take out their smartphones first and check each other's genetic table to see whether there are any undesirable genes that cannot be determined from outward appearance. Genetic deficiencies(基因缺陷) that might lead to diseases in offspring will be screened out first. Heart disease No. Immune deficiency No. Hemophilia No.
②_____ Eye color, height preference, curly or straight hair. In the end, only those with the genes that promise the users a perfect child will date.
It sounds terrible. If the app becomes a reality, it could split people into different camps based on the genes they carry.
Some might argue that even now people are not wholly equal to each other—there are the rich and the poor to begin with. ③_____ Genes, on the other hand, are fixed, with no hope of changing at least in the near future.
Church didn't have this divisive goal in mind. In an interview, he said he hopes to let people know the genetic deficiencies in their mating partners so as to minimize the chances of giving birth to children with diseases. ④_____
The problem is not so much with genetic technology, which can help people find possible diseases before birth, and possibly even cure them through gene editing. But it would be a mistake to let everybody know of each other’s genetic information and make choices on that basis.
⑤_____ Gene sequencing(基因排序) is becoming increasingly popular with many people choosing to know their genes better. It is reaching a stage when it becomes urgent for the law to protect such information and avoid possible leaks.
A. He will make it.
B. This is how it works.
C. That in turn calls for legislation(法律,法规).
D. The app will be popular with different people.
E. Then comes the turn of harmless appearance characteristics.
F. But he will not be able to stop the above-mentioned possibility.
G. However, one can always struggle to improve one's quality of life.

答案以及解析
一、填空题
1.答案:graceful
解析:考查形容词。句意:这位年轻的女士如此优雅,以至于所有的面试官都对她印象深刻。由空前的系动词was和副词so可知设空处应用形容词作was的表语,表示“优雅的”,故填graceful。
2.答案:expression
解析:考查名词。句意:从父亲脸上的表情判断,我知道他不相信我说的话。定冠词the后应用名词形式,设空处表示“表情;神色”,故填expression。
3.答案:What
解析:考查连接代词。句意:甚至更有趣的是,Stein的工作之一就是保护塑料购物袋背后的行业。分析句子结构可知,“is even more interesting”是主语从句,设空处引导主语从句,在从句中作主语,结合句意可知答案为What。
4.答案:to/with
解析:考查介词。句意:咖啡店前有一只可爱的狗,它和我的狗几乎一模一样。be identical to/with...意为“和……一模一样”。
5.答案:Whoever
解析:句意:谁犯了法,谁就会受到惩罚。分析句子结构可知:____ breaks the law是主语从句,从句缺少主语,结合句意可知答案为Whoever。
6.答案:novelist
解析:句意:作为一名小说家,我与图书馆建立了一种新的关系。novelist n.小说家。
7.答案:findings
解析:句意:这项调査的一个主要发现是对于哪些设备已经到位弄不清楚。finding n.发现;研究结果;调査(或研究)的结果。根据句意可知这里用复数形式。
8.答案:What
解析:考査主语从句的引导词。句意:这里说的话都应当保密。whatever意思为“无论什么”,引导主语从句。
9.答案:that
解析:考查主语从句的引导词。句意:因此,你应该重视并小心对待它们是明智的。it为形式主语,真正的主语为后面that引导的主语从句。
10.答案:whoever
解析:考查名词性从句中主语从句的用法。whoever 作介词to的宾语,引导名词性从句,引导词作从句的主语,指人。
二、阅读理解
11.答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Julia wanted to get people...thinking about fashion in a new way and how we live in.. a ‘culture of excess’, closets overflowing with clothes far more than we need.”可知,朱莉娅想让人们用一种新的方式思考时尚,同时思考我们现在所处的这种“过度文化”。由此可知朱莉娅100天穿同一件裙子是为了引起人们对时尚和生活的深思。故选D。
12.答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“at which point the students were responsive. Julia said that her students could really understand the idea that we need to judge each other based on what we do but not what we wear.”以及“As they try to define themselves, the students are often identifying themselves with brands or outward things. Many seemed excited to have a reason to talk about how silly all of that really is”可知学生们对这个实验反应很积极,他们完全理解朱莉娅想传达的“不要关注人们穿什么而应关注人们做什么”即“不要以貌取人”的观点,许多学生因可以谈论那种只关注外表的行为有多愚蠢而感到兴奋。由此可知,学生们对以貌取人这个看法是反对的(opposed)。故选A。
13.答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。第四段通过叙述朱莉娅修补裙子上的破洞、穿围裙防止弄脏裙子、周末洗裙子这些事情说明了朱莉娅为了保证衣服干净整洁,以达到她这件裙子能穿100天来让人们对时尚和生活进行深思的目的而做出的努力。故选C。
14.答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,朱莉娅关心地球的健康状况,耐心对待学生,认真对待日常生活,把更多的精力投入到了更有意义、更有价值的事情上。故选B。
三、七选五
答案:①-⑤ BEGFC
解析:①根据本段内容可知,两个想要约会的人先拿出智能手机,检查对方的基因表,看看是否有不能从外表判断出来的不良基因,遗传疾病的基因缺陷将首先被筛选出来,因此本段主要介绍的是这款应用程序是如何工作的,故B项(它的工作原理是这样的)符合语境。
②空后提到的眼睛颜色、身高、卷发或直发都属于外表方面的,因此本段主要讲的是外表上的特征,故E项(然后是无害的外表特征)符合语境。
③空前说有人可能会说即使是现在,人们也不是完全平等的,一开始就有贫富之分,此处承接上文,讲的是关于生活质量方面的内容,故G项(然而,一个人总是可以努力提高自己的生活质量)符合语境。
④空前说在一次采访中,丘奇说他希望让人们知道他们的伴侣的基因缺陷,从而尽量减少生下有疾病的孩子的机会,此处承接上文,讲的是他的这个想法并没有成功,F项中的he指代的就是前面的Church,故F项(但他将无法阻止上述的可能性)符合语境。
⑤空后说法律保护这样的信息,避免可能的泄密,已经到了刻不容缓的阶段,因此此处讲的应该是与法律相关的话题,故C项(这反过来又要求立法)符合语境。
四、书面表达
Recently, I read a novel called The New Year's Sacrifice, which was written by the famous Chinese novelist Lu Xun. It describes the heartbreaking story about Sister Xianglin who goes through much pain in her youth and shows how it affects her throughout her later years.
Generally speaking, Sister Xianglin is a hard-working, kind and strong female, who is described vividly in the novel. Lu Xun described features of Sister Xianglin in many aspects, especially the way she speaks. For example, she likes repeating her words again and again, which leaves/makes a deep impression on readers.
In my opinion, Sister Xianglin is a typical representative of rural Chinese women in feudal society, suffering the feudalism at that time.
