第二部分 阅读(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
Antarctica
One of the most remote destinations on the planet, Antarctica is not an easy (or affordable) endeavor. Perhaps the difficulty is part of the attraction — the seventh continent remains on the top of many travelers’ wish lists. The striking white desert, with its dramatic, snowy peaks and vibrant turquoise waters, as well its exotic wildlife, including Emperor penguins and Weddell seals, is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Hawaii
Hawaii is underrated. To be sure, it is a gorgeous place, with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, and every beach seemingly prettier than the next, but its beauty goes much deeper than its preternatural appearance. Extraordinary beaches — some even boast black and green sand (Papakolea Beach and Punalu’u Beach, respectively)—have their expected appeal, but visitors who take time to venture out and away from the coast quickly discover Hawaii’s charms are everywhere.
Canada
Skiing, surfing, hiking and Northern-lights sighting. Eclectic cuisine, world-class shopping, a diverse and rich culture. This is Canada. The 13 provinces and territories that make up the world’s second-largest country by total area. It has something wonderful for every type of traveler. Nature lovers take so lace in mountains, glaciers, waterfalls and Atlantic or Pacific coastlines while sophisticated palates nosh at Michelin-starred restaurants and hole-in-the-wall mainstays alike.
Singapore
Travelers don’t want to spend any more time in an airport than they have to. But Singapore’s Changi is not an ordinary airport. While the rest of the world was staying at home, Singaporean locals were paying to hang out at Changi, whether it was co-working in one of the lounges or camping alongside the world’s tallest indoor waterfall at the Changi Jewel, which opened in 2019.
1. Which place would you like to choose if you are an animal lover

2. What is special about Canada from the text

C. It has some extraordinary beaches.
D. It attracts many locals.

D. They can enjoy world-class shopping.
B
Andy Kong has worked very hard to get to where he is today. He credits becoming a millionaire by 20 to his strict Asian parents who tutored him at a young age by working for the family.
Kong, of Danville, Virginia, started working when he was only nine. English wasn’t a strong suit for Andy’s parents, and that’s where he was able to assist his family the most. After school and on weekends he would help out at their family-owned restaurant and nail salons. Not only did he do the labor work, but he was also involved in creating online ads. This was his introduction to the world of online business.
Andy started his Amazon business in the eighth grade. When he learned about Amazon Dropshipping (代发货模式) from a kid he saw on Instagram, he got inspired and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the store eventually got shut down because he was impatient with the growth. Instead of considering it a failure, he viewed this experience as a life lesson and learned from his mistakes. Meanwhile, his parents never stopped trying to talk him into focusing on school and their retail business.
“The biggest challenge when starting a business is getting someone to believe in you,” Andy says. He pushed through and did things for himself even when his loved ones discouraged it.
In 2019, Andy met his now business partners, and together, they created an Amazon management company called Project WiFi. This Project has proven to be extremely successful. They currently help over 55 clients run their online businesses, and plan to help many more in the future.
When asked about the secret to his success, Andy says, “Learning to sacrifice whether that’s family, friends, or soccer game for a single goal is the only way to succeed, rather than attempting multiple things. If it’s worth doing then it’s worth doing well with no shortcuts.”
4. Why did Andy work in his parents’ shops at a young age
A. Because he could earn some pocket money.
B. Because his parents weren’t fluent in English.
C. Because his parents could help with his study.
D. Because he could get access to the Internet.
5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. A new online business model. B. Results of working impatiently.
C. Difficulties in Andy’s career. D. Andy’s tense family relationship.
6. What does Andy think contributes to his success
A. His early working experiences. B. Lessons learned from his failures.
C. Gaining other people’s trust. D. Focusing on the thing you choose.
7. Which of the following can best describe Andy Kong’s personality
A. Committed and generous. B. Open-minded and motivated.
C. Creative and faithful. D. Hard-working and sociable.
C
Today, the Vikings are mostly known as violent pirates (海盗). But they were also traders. At their height, the Vikings attacked, settled or traded on four continents.
All of their travel, trade and warfare were made possible by Viking ships, which were far more advanced than anything else sailing around Europe at the time. The most famous, and most feared, was the drekar. At sea, these ships could move quickly thanks to their large sails. The hulls (船体) of the ships were shallow and fat, which made them ride high in the water. The ships were also light enough that they could be carried from one body of water to another over short sections of land. This greatly extended their range.
But Viking ships weren’t just built for warfare. Another type, called the knarr, had cargo (货物) holds built in the hull. One such cargo ship was capable of carrying 24 tons. The knarrs would have looked similar to the drekars except they were longer, fatter and taller. These were the backbones of the Viking empire, which they used to carry everything from gold coins to spices and fine fabrics.
Both the drekar and the knarr were built using the same method. Traditionally, oceangoing ships have used a keel (龙骨), shaped like the fin of a fish. The keel sinks into the water below the hull. It helps the ship maintain a straight line through the water and counters the force of the wind against the sail, which otherwise might blow the ship over. Viking ships had no deep keel. Instead, they were built fat enough to carry lots of soldiers or pieces of cargo whose weight helped keep the ship planted in the water.
Viking ships were so advanced for their time that they often were the biggest, tallest and most striking ships many people had ever seen. A monk at the St. Omar Monastery, in Franco, wrote this description of a royal Viking ship in 1013.
“On one side lions molded in gold were to be seen on the ships, on the other birds on the tops of the poles indicated by their movements the winds as they blew…”
The Vikings built a wealthy empire through trade as well as robbery and used their wealth to continuously improve their ships.
8. What does the author intend to tell us
A. The Vikings were not violent pirates but traders.
B. The Vikings used to take a lead in the world trade.
C. Viking ships could carry more cargo than ships today.
D. Viking ships contributed to the extension of their empire.
9. What can we infer about the knarrs
A. They were not designed for warfare.
B. They were faster than the drekars.
C. They were designed to carry soldiers.
D. They served the same purpose as drekars.
10. What do the Vikings’ ships and the traditional oceangoing ships have in common
A. They both use a deep keel shaped like the fin of a fish.
B. They both make the hull shallow and fat with large sails.
C. They both take measures to keep the ship planted in water.
D. They both install something to counter the force of wind.
11. Why does the author refer to a monk’s description of a Viking ship
A. To show how advanced Viking ships were for their time.
B. To show how interested the monk was in traveling by sea.
C. To show that Viking ships were designed in a strange way.
D. To show that Viking ships were continuously improved.
D
Someday, you may no longer need to brush your teeth by hand. Instead, a group of billions of nanoparticles (纳米粒子) could automatically do all that work for you. It would be especially life-changing for people who find it difficult or impossible to hold and move a toothbrush.
Steager, an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) in Philadelphia and Hyun Koo, an inventor and dental researcher there, found a way to form the nanoparticles into long, skinny bristles (刷毛), a lot like the ones on a toothbrush. But these bristles shape-shift to fit whatever surface they encounter.
The tooth-cleaning robot works thanks to two magnets (磁铁). One goes each side of the teeth. The nanoparticles sit in a liquid between the magnets. When the magnets are turned off, the nanoparticles move randomly in the liquid. As soon as one magnet gets turned on, the nanoparticles gather together near its center. When the researchers turn on the other magnet and turn off the first one, the nanoparticles extend outward in long, skinny bristles When there’s a tooth in the way, these bristles can’t stretch out as far as they want. So they push against the tooth’s surface. If there’s a gap between teeth, they push into the gap. Moving the magnets makes the bristles move against and between teeth. All that motion cleans the teeth. As a bonus, the nanoparticles also have strong power to kill viruses.
The new device is just a proof of concept The researchers still need to turn it into a product that people will want to use. “There’s a lot of engineering to get from here to there, but every good idea needs to have a start.” says Steager.
12 What is special about the tooth cleaner
A. It’s water-proof. B. It’s transformable.
C. It looks like a toothbrush. D. It contains skinny bristles.
13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The working principle. B. The magnets motion.
C. The virus-killing process. D. The bristles formation.
14. How does Steager feel about the future of the device
A. Uncertain B. Confident C. Concerned D. Surprised.
15. Which of the following would be the best title
A. A Tooth-Cleaner Fighting Bacteria B. A Breakthrough in Medicine
C. A Shape-Shifting Robotic Tooth-Cleaner D. A New Concept for a New Start

47. 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。
Kenneth Hansen, 46, was working late one May evening two years ago, putting the last pieces of board on a house in Gratiot County, Michigan. He saw a boy crazily waving his arms. Then Hansen heard screaming. Standing on the back porch (门廊)of the house next door was the little boy screaming "Help!", while four dogs barked and ran after him. Hansen knew little about the boy. After all, the boy was just visiting his grandfather during holidays.
At first, Hansen thought it was just a dogfight. Then alarm bells went off in his head. The noises they made sounded like what dogs do when they're biting something. His feeling proved right when he watched in horror as they sank in their teeth and bit at the boy's leg.
Then, Hansen realized the boy was in a great danger. He raced across the grass, jumped over a six-foot-high fence and landed in the neighbor's yard. He shouted at the dogs, but they ignored him. He screamed and yelled louder until they let go just long enough for Henson to grab the eight-year-old boy, Ethan. But he couldn't grab him under his arms, which would make it harder to run, because the boy was badly injured. Luckily, He found a long wooden stick at the corner. Henson used it to drive the dogs away and held the boy into his arms.
Hansen ran fast across the yard, and the dogs followed him. Hansen ran to the back deck (木制平台). So did the dogs. When he reached the top, he pulled on a courtyard door, but it wouldn't open. At that time, a dog grabbed Ethan's foot again to get him back from Hansen. Then Hansen pulled on a second door. It sprang open. He rushed inside the house, followed closely by the dogs scratching (抓)at his legs. He opened a bedroom door a crack, pushed Ethan in quickly, then closed it immediately.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Turning around, Hansen faced the dogs.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Months later, Ethan was fully recovered.

Andy Kong has worked very hard to get to where he is today. He credits becoming a millionaire by 20 to his strict Asian parents who tutored him at a young age by working for the family.
Kong, of Danville, Virginia, started working when he was only nine. English wasn’t a strong suit for Andy’s parents, and that’s where he was able to assist his family the most. After school and on weekends he would help out at their family-owned restaurant and nail salons. Not only did he do the labor work, but he was also involved in creating online ads. This was his introduction to the world of online business.
Andy started his Amazon business in the eighth grade. When he learned about Amazon Dropshipping (代发货模式) from a kid he saw on Instagram, he got inspired and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the store eventually got shut down because he was impatient with the growth. Instead of considering it a failure, he viewed this experience as a life lesson and learned from his mistakes. Meanwhile, his parents never stopped trying to talk him into focusing on school and their retail business.
“The biggest challenge when starting a business is getting someone to believe in you,” Andy says. He pushed through and did things for himself even when his loved ones discouraged it.
In 2019, Andy met his now business partners, and together, they created an Amazon management company called Project WiFi. This Project has proven to be extremely successful. They currently help over 55 clients run their online businesses, and plan to help many more in the future.
When asked about the secret to his success, Andy says, “Learning to sacrifice whether that’s family, friends, or soccer game for a single goal is the only way to succeed, rather than attempting multiple things. If it’s worth doing then it’s worth doing well with no shortcuts.”
4. Why did Andy work in his parents’ shops at a young age
A. Because he could earn some pocket money.
B. Because his parents weren’t fluent in English.
C. Because his parents could help with his study.
D. Because he could get access to the Internet.
5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. A new online business model. B. Results of working impatiently.
C. Difficulties in Andy’s career. D. Andy’s tense family relationship.
6. What does Andy think contributes to his success
A. His early working experiences. B. Lessons learned from his failures.
C. Gaining other people’s trust. D. Focusing on the thing you choose.
7. Which of the following can best describe Andy Kong’s personality
A. Committed and generous. B. Open-minded and motivated.
C. Creative and faithful. D. Hard-working and sociable.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】

Today, the Vikings are mostly known as violent pirates (海盗). But they were also traders. At their height, the Vikings attacked, settled or traded on four continents.
All of their travel, trade and warfare were made possible by Viking ships, which were far more advanced than anything else sailing around Europe at the time. The most famous, and most feared, was the drekar. At sea, these ships could move quickly thanks to their large sails. The hulls (船体) of the ships were shallow and fat, which made them ride high in the water. The ships were also light enough that they could be carried from one body of water to another over short sections of land. This greatly extended their range.
But Viking ships weren’t just built for warfare. Another type, called the knarr, had cargo (货物) holds built in the hull. One such cargo ship was capable of carrying 24 tons. The knarrs would have looked similar to the drekars except they were longer, fatter and taller. These were the backbones of the Viking empire, which they used to carry everything from gold coins to spices and fine fabrics.
Both the drekar and the knarr were built using the same method. Traditionally, oceangoing ships have used a keel (龙骨), shaped like the fin of a fish. The keel sinks into the water below the hull. It helps the ship maintain a straight line through the water and counters the force of the wind against the sail, which otherwise might blow the ship over. Viking ships had no deep keel. Instead, they were built fat enough to carry lots of soldiers or pieces of cargo whose weight helped keep the ship planted in the water.
Viking ships were so advanced for their time that they often were the biggest, tallest and most striking ships many people had ever seen. A monk at the St. Omar Monastery, in Franco, wrote this description of a royal Viking ship in 1013.
“On one side lions molded in gold were to be seen on the ships, on the other birds on the tops of the poles indicated by their movements the winds as they blew…”
The Vikings built a wealthy empire through trade as well as robbery and used their wealth to continuously improve their ships.
8. What does the author intend to tell us
A. The Vikings were not violent pirates but traders.
B. The Vikings used to take a lead in the world trade.
C. Viking ships could carry more cargo than ships today.
D. Viking ships contributed to the extension of their empire.
9. What can we infer about the knarrs
A. They were not designed for warfare.
B. They were faster than the drekars.
C. They were designed to carry soldiers.
D. They served the same purpose as drekars.
10. What do the Vikings’ ships and the traditional oceangoing ships have in common
A. They both use a deep keel shaped like the fin of a fish.
B. They both make the hull shallow and fat with large sails.
C. They both take measures to keep the ship planted in water.
D. They both install something to counter the force of wind.
11. Why does the author refer to a monk’s description of a Viking ship
A. To show how advanced Viking ships were for their time.
B. To show how interested the monk was in traveling by sea.
C. To show that Viking ships were designed in a strange way.
D. To show that Viking ships were continuously improved.
【答案】8 D 9. A 10. C 11. A

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“But Viking ships weren’t just built for warfare. Another type, called the knarr, had cargo (货物) holds built in the hull. One such cargo ship was capable of carrying 24 tons. The knarrs would have looked similar to the drekars except they were longer, fatter and taller. These were the backbones of the Viking empire, which they used to carry everything from gold coins to spices and fine fabrics.(但维京船只不仅仅是为战争而建造的。另一种类型，称为knarr，在船体中建造了货舱。一艘这样的货船能载重24吨。knars看起来和drekars很相似，只是它们更长、更宽、更高。这些是维京帝国的支柱，他们用来运输从金币到香料和高级织物的所有东西)”可知，knars不是为战争而设计的。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Both the drekar and the knarr were built using the same method. Traditionally, oceangoing ships have used a keel (龙骨), shaped like the fin of a fish. The keel sinks into the water below the hull. It helps the ship maintain a straight line through the water and counters the force of the wind against the sail, which otherwise might blow the ship over.(drekar和knarr都是用同样的方法建造的。传统上，远洋船只使用龙骨，形状像鱼鳍。龙骨沉入船体下面的水中。它可以帮助船只在水中保持一条直线，并抵消风对帆的力量，否则可能会把船吹翻。)”可知，维京人的船和传统的远洋船的共同之处在于，它们都采取措施让船停在水里，故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“Viking ships were so advanced for their tine that they often were the biggest, tallest and most striking ships many people had ever seen. A monk at the St. Omar Monastery, in Franco, wrote this description of a royal Viking ship in 1013.(海盗船在当时是如此先进，以至于它们往往是许多人见过的最大、最高和最引人注目的船只。佛朗哥圣奥马尔修道院的一位僧侣在1013年写下了对皇家海盗船的描述。)”可知，作者提到了一个僧侣对海盗船的描述是为了展示当时维京船只的先进程度。故选A。

Someday, you may no longer need to brush your teeth by hand. Instead, a group of billions of nanoparticles (纳米粒子) could automatically do all that work for you. It would be especially life-changing for people who find it difficult or impossible to hold and move a toothbrush.
Steager, an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) in Philadelphia and Hyun Koo, an inventor and dental researcher there, found a way to form the nanoparticles into long, skinny bristles (刷毛), a lot like the ones on a toothbrush. But these bristles shape-shift to fit whatever surface they encounter.
The tooth-cleaning robot works thanks to two magnets (磁铁). One goes each side of the teeth. The nanoparticles sit in a liquid between the magnets. When the magnets are turned off, the nanoparticles move randomly in the liquid. As soon as one magnet gets turned on, the nanoparticles gather together near its center. When the researchers turn on the other magnet and turn off the first one, the nanoparticles extend outward in long, skinny bristles When there’s a tooth in the way, these bristles can’t stretch out as far as they want. So they push against the tooth’s surface. If there’s a gap between teeth, they push into the gap. Moving the magnets makes the bristles move against and between teeth. All that motion cleans the teeth. As a bonus, the nanoparticles also have strong power to kill viruses.
The new device is just a proof of concept The researchers still need to turn it into a product that people will want to use. “There’s a lot of engineering to get from here to there, but every good idea needs to have a start.” says Steager.
12. What is special about the tooth cleaner
A. It’s water-proof. B. It’s transformable.
C. It looks like a toothbrush. D. It contains skinny bristles.
13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The working principle. B. The magnets motion.
C. The virus-killing process. D. The bristles formation.
14. How does Steager feel about the future of the device
A. Uncertain B. Confident C. Concerned D. Surprised.
15. Which of the following would be the best title
A. A Tooth-Cleaner Fighting Bacteria B. A Breakthrough in Medicine
C. A Shape-Shifting Robotic Tooth-Cleaner D. A New Concept for a New Start
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C

All that motion cleans the teeth. (清洁牙齿的机器人靠两块磁铁工作。牙齿两侧各一根。纳米颗粒位于磁铁之间的液体中。当磁铁关闭时，纳米颗粒在液体中随机移动。一旦一个磁体被打开，纳米粒子就会聚集在磁体中心附近。当研究人员打开另一个磁体并关闭第一个磁体时，纳米颗粒向外延伸成细长的刚毛，当有牙齿挡道时，这些刚毛就不能像它们想要的那样伸展。所以它们会挤压牙齿表面。如果牙齿之间有缝隙，它们就会挤进去。移动磁铁可以使刷毛在牙齿之间移动。所有这些动作都能清洁牙齿。)”可知，这一段主要讲述了牙刷的工作原理。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““There’s a lot of engineering to get from here to there, but every good idea needs to have a start.” says Steager. (“从这里到那里有很多工程要做，但每个好的想法都需要有一个开始，”Steager说)”可推知，Steager对这款牙刷未来的发展很有信心。故选B。

As we all know, punctuality is of great importance. If we are punctual, for one thing, we can win other’s trust, for another, we will leave a good impression on others.

47. 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。
Kenneth Hansen, 46, was working late one May evening two years ago, putting the last pieces of board on a house in Gratiot County, Michigan. He saw a boy crazily waving his arms. Then Hansen heard screaming. Standing on the back porch (门廊)of the house next door was the little boy screaming "Help!", while four dogs barked and ran after him. Hansen knew little about the boy. After all, the boy was just visiting his grandfather during holidays.
At first, Hansen thought it was just a dogfight. Then alarm bells went off in his head. The noises they made sounded like what dogs do when they're biting something. His feeling proved right when he watched in horror as they sank in their teeth and bit at the boy's leg.
Then, Hansen realized the boy was in a great danger. He raced across the grass, jumped over a six-foot-high fence and landed in the neighbor's yard. He shouted at the dogs, but they ignored him. He screamed and yelled louder until they let go just long enough for Henson to grab the eight-year-old boy, Ethan. But he couldn't grab him under his arms, which would make it harder to run, because the boy was badly injured. Luckily, He found a long wooden stick at the corner. Henson used it to drive the dogs away and held the boy into his arms.
Hansen ran fast across the yard, and the dogs followed him. Hansen ran to the back deck (木制平台). So did the dogs. When he reached the top, he pulled on a courtyard door, but it wouldn't open. At that time, a dog grabbed Ethan's foot again to get him back from Hansen. Then Hansen pulled on a second door. It sprang open. He rushed inside the house, followed closely by the dogs scratching (抓)at his legs. He opened a bedroom door a crack, pushed Ethan in quickly, then closed it immediately.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

【答案】One possible version：
Turning around, Hansen faced the dogs. He thought he had to get the dogs outside. Hansen screamed, even drove them around the house, until he got them out of the house and shut the glass door. The dogs sat out-side, glaring at him. Suddenly, the door flew open. There stood Ethan's grandfather, the house owner, checking on Ethan. Ethan was in bad situation. So Hanson called an ambulance immediately. The ambulance arrived soon, and Ethan was sent to the hospital immediately.
Months later, Ethan was fully recovered. When he recalled what happened that day, he still felt frightened. However, he remembered Hanson, his hero, saved him. So he thanked Hanson with a prize. When rewarded the prize, Hansen said, "I didn't even think. I just was trying to help the boy." Actually, Hansen was uncomfortable with the "hero" title. It was still unclear what sent the dogs into the crazy mode, but Ethan knew it's Hansen's bravery and kindness that saved his life.
