Celebrations in the age of the coronavirus（冠状病毒） have forced people to get creative. Brandon’s father, Jody Smith, went on Twitter with a simple request. He posted a picture of Brandon on it. In the photo, Brandon is holding up a drawing. It is a blank map of the world. Mr. Smith asked people on Twitter to reply to his post and say where they are.

In the afternoon of April 11, Brandon was popular on Twitter. He was the most-talked-about topic.
Brandon did not really want a birthday party. He wanted to do an activity he likes. 揃randon is on the autism spectrum（自闭症）.” Smith said. Children with autism have different abilities. They get very interested in things. They will be interested in it for just a few weeks, Sometimes, months, One thing that Brandon continues to love is maps.
Mr. Smith’s phone pinged with so many birthday messages. Each time one arrived, Brandon put a mark on his map. He put it wherever the message came from. He knew where most places were. He hardly had to look at a real map to check.

We talk a lot about air pollution. Here in Hong Kong we always complain about light pollution as well. Then, there is noise pollution. It's the same in many cities around the world. In Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, people have been complaining about/the noise made by drivers who continually sound their car horns(喇). That is until recently, when something was finally done about it.
The Chief District Officer of Kathmandu had received many complaints about horn pollution. He said that everyone felt the use of the car horn in recent years had become excessive. Researchers in Kathmandu found that for about 80 percent of the time, it really was not necessary for drivers to use their car horns. Sounding the horn to make a noise had become more of a habit. It was no longer being used as it was supposed to be used: to warn people of danger.
At the beginning of the Nepali New Year in 2017, the local government passed a law to ban the use of car horns unless used correctly.
Within six months, 11,000 fines(罚款) had been collected by the local traffic police. The e fine was about HK S360. A taxi driver in Kathmandu can make about HK S1, 000 per day, so he could lose about one-third of his money if he broke the law.
As usual, there were many complaints from drivers. They said that cows and dogs were free to walk on the roads. They always caused danger. Sounding a car horn was the only way to get them to move out of the way. And although there were quite a few traffic lights in the streets of Kathmandu, very few of them worked. This meant there was often a traffic mess.
The ban on using a car horn went ahead, and within a few weeks the streets of Nepal's capital were quieter-even though they were still just as busy. Because of the ban, drivers are a little more careful when they drive. Fewer accidents have been reported. The local government says the horn ban will now be copied in other areas of Nepal.
46. What do Hong Kong and Kathmandu have in common?
A. Both have been troubled by factory pollution.
B. Both have succeeded in fighting air pollution.
C. Both have been faced with the problem of noise pollution.
D. Both have received many complaints about horn pollution.
47. What do the Researchers in Kathmandu found?
A. Car drivers usually use car horns unnecessarily.
B. The cars are becoming more and more.
C. Care drivers use car horns as a warning.
D. Everyone complain about the horn pollution.
48. When was the law on the use of car horns passed?
A. In 2016. B. In 2017.
C. ln 2018. D. In 2019.
49. What will you find if you go to Kathmandu?
A. No traffic lights in the streets can work.
B. The traffic on the roads is usually very heavy.
C. Animals are not allowed to walk on the streets.
D. Drivers are required to drive on one-way streets.
50. What can we guess about Kathmandu's horn ban?
A. It is unfair. B. It is worrying.
C. It is interesting. D. It is successful.

Celebrations in the age of the coronavirus（冠状病毒） have forced people to get creative. Brandon’s father, Jody Smith, went on Twitter with a simple request. He posted a picture of Brandon on it. In the photo, Brandon is holding up a drawing. It is a blank map of the world. Mr. Smith asked people on Twitter to reply to his post and say where they are. That way, his map-loving son could mark the locations.
“I thought it would be fun to get 50-maybe 100-people to reply from around the world, and most would be in the US.” Smith said, “That’s really what my expectations were.”
To his surprise, however, thousands of responses to Smith’s request came in. Pictures were sent from the Caribbean, South America and Europe.
Brandon would add each spot to his map. “He is having a blast,” Mr. Smith said.
In the afternoon of April 11, Brandon was popular on Twitter. He was the most-talked-about topic.
Brandon did not really want a birthday party. He wanted to do an activity he likes. “Brandon is on the autism spectrum（自闭症）.” Smith said. Children with autism have different abilities. They get very interested in things. They will be interested in it for just a few weeks, Sometimes, months, One thing that Brandon continues to love is maps.
Mr. Smith’s phone pinged with so many birthday messages. Each time one arrived, Brandon put a mark on his map. He put it wherever the message came from. He knew where most places were. He hardly had to look at a real map to check.
By noon, Brandon’s map was covered in marks. Mr. Smith was grateful for all the responses.
“These are pretty trying times,” Mr. Smith said. He was glad to see people being kind. Mr. Smith said the responses made Brandon feel so special on his birthday.

这是一篇记叙文。本文记叙了Brandon的特殊的生日——新冠期间他父亲为他在推特上发帖子征求回应你在世界的哪里，出人意料的是回应来自于全世界各地，Brandon成了热门话题人物。而Brandon有自闭症，不愿意有什么生日聚会，他喜欢做自己想要做的事情。Smith先生说他很高兴看到人们的善举，这种回应让Brandon感到生日过的很特别。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。审题得知为什么Smith在推特上请求人们发送生日信息给他儿子。可以定位于：It is a tough time to have a birthday. But he still had a socially distanced birthday celebration that he will always remember.第一段末尾的句子告诉我们：在这时候过生日是很艰难的。但他依然度过了一个难忘的社交距离生日庆祝。第二段开始点睛之笔：Celebrations in the age of the coronavirus（冠状病毒） have forced people to get creative.在冠状病毒时期庆祝生日迫使人们创新性的想办法去过一个生日。故逆向思维得知在冠状病毒期间想像平时那样庆祝生日是不可能的事情。故D选项：He could not celebrate how he usually would because of the coronavirus.“因为冠状病毒期间，他不能像以往那样庆祝自己的生日了。”切合文意。故选D。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。审题得知Brandon得知人们告诉他他们的地点后发生了什么。可以定位于：Brandon would add each spot to his map. Brandon会将每一个地点添加到地图上。换一句话说就是会在地图上标识地点。后文也有类似表达：Each time one arrived, Brandon put a mark on his map. 每次电话告知时，Brandon都会在地图上贴上一个标识。He put it wherever the message came from. He knew where most places were. He hardly had to look at a real map to check.他几乎等不及在真正的地图上看来自于何方的人。By noon, Brandon’s map was covered in marks.到中午的时候，Brandon的地图上贴满了标识。综合这些信息，可以得出A选项：He marked the locations on his map.“他在他的地图上标识地点。”切合文意。故选A。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。审题得知关键词信息为does not like birthday parties不喜欢生日聚会。定位于Brandon did not really want a birthday party. He wanted to do an activity he likes. “Brandon is on the autism spectrum（自闭症）.” Smith said. Smith先生说他喜欢做他自己喜欢的事情，“Brandon有自闭症。”接下来文章说Children with autism have different abilities.有自闭症的孩子都有不同常人的能力。从这里可以推出选项C切合文意。故选C。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。审题得知：为什么Smith先生很惊讶于推特帖子的回应是如此多。根据此意可定位于：“I thought it would be fun to get 50-maybe 100-people to reply from around the world, and most would be in the US.” Smith said, “That’s really what my expectations were.”前一句说预料到50个人回应，最多100人罢了，且多半是美国人。但是：To his surprise, however, thousands of responses to Smith’s request came in. Pictures were sent from the Caribbean, South America and Europe令他惊讶的是成千上万的对Smith先生请求的回应以及图片发送自于加勒比地区、南美洲和欧洲。这些线索足以说明B选项：He did not expect so many people to reply to it.“他没有期待有那么多的人回应此事。”切合文意。故选B。
【45题详解】
猜测词义题。审题定位于times，同意表达见于文首：It is a tough time to have a birthday.庆祝生日是一个艰难的时刻。然后在划线单词处说：He was glad to see people being kind. Mr. Smith said the responses made Brandon feel so special on his birthday.他很高兴 看到人们的善举，Smith先生说这些回应使得Brandon感觉他的生日过得如此的特别。前者交代这是一个什么样的时刻，后者交代在这个时刻里我们可以做到什么。反过来也证明tough一词就是trying的转义说法。故A选项Difficult困难的，艰难的切合文意。故选A。
C
We talk a lot about air pollution. Here in Hong Kong we always complain about light pollution as well. Then, there is noise pollution. It's the same in many cities around the world. In Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, people have been complaining about/the noise made by drivers who continually sound their car horns(喇). That is until recently, when something was finally done about it.
The Chief District Officer of Kathmandu had received many complaints about horn pollution. He said that everyone felt the use of the car horn in recent years had become excessive. Researchers in Kathmandu found that for about 80 percent of the time, it really was not necessary for drivers to use their car horns. Sounding the horn to make a noise had become more of a habit. It was no longer being used as it was supposed to be used: to warn people of danger.
At the beginning of the Nepali New Year in 2017, the local government passed a law to ban the use of car horns unless used correctly.
Within six months, 11,000 fines(罚款) had been collected by the local traffic police. The e fine was about HK S360. A taxi driver in Kathmandu can make about HK S1, 000 per day, so he could lose about one-third of his money if he broke the law.
As usual, there were many complaints from drivers. They said that cows and dogs were free to walk on the roads. They always caused danger. Sounding a car horn was the only way to get them to move out of the way. And although there were quite a few traffic lights in the streets of Kathmandu, very few of them worked. This meant there was often a traffic mess.
The ban on using a car horn went ahead, and within a few weeks the streets of Nepal's capital were quieter-even though they were still just as busy. Because of the ban, drivers are a little more careful when they drive. Fewer accidents have been reported. The local government says the horn ban will now be copied in other areas of Nepal.
46. What do Hong Kong and Kathmandu have in common?
A. Both have been troubled by factory pollution.
B. Both have succeeded in fighting air pollution.
C. Both have been faced with the problem of noise pollution.
D. Both have received many complaints about horn pollution.
47. What do the Researchers in Kathmandu found?
A. Car drivers usually use car horns unnecessarily.
B. The cars are becoming more and more.
C. Care drivers use car horns as a warning.
D. Everyone complain about the horn pollution.
48. When was the law on the use of car horns passed?
A. In 2016. B. In 2017.
C. ln 2018. D. In 2019.
49. What will you find if you go to Kathmandu?
A. No traffic lights in the streets can work.
B. The traffic on the roads is usually very heavy.
C. Animals are not allowed to walk on the streets.
D. Drivers are required to drive on one-way streets.
50. What can we guess about Kathmandu's horn ban?
A. It is unfair. B. It is worrying.
C. It is interesting. D. It is successful.
【答案】46. C 47. A 48. B 49. B 50. D

细节理解题。根据第一段的Here in Hong Kong we always complain about light pollution as well. Then, there is noise pollution. It's the same in many cities around the world. In Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, people have been complaining about/the noise made by drivers who continually sound their car horns(喇).(在香港，我们也经常抱怨光污染。然后，还有噪音污染。世界上很多城市都是如此。在加德满都，尼泊尔的首都，人们一直在抱怨司机不断按喇叭发出的噪音)可知，香港和加德满都都面临着噪音污染的问题。C. Both have been faced with the problem of noise pollution.(它们都面临噪音污染问题)符合以上说法，故选C项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的Researchers in Kathmandu found that for about 80 percent of the time, it really was not necessary for drivers to use their car horns.(加德满都的研究人员发现，在大约80%的情况下，司机真的没有必要使用他们的车喇叭)可知，加德满都的汽车司机通常在没有必要的情况下按喇叭。A. Car drivers usually use car horns unnecessarily.(汽车司机通常在不必要的情况下按喇叭)符合以上说法，故选A项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的At the beginning of the Nepali New Year in 2017, the local government passed a law to ban the use of car horns unless used correctly.(在2017年尼泊尔新年伊始，当地政府通过了一项法律来禁止这种行为，除非正确使用，否则不得使用车汽车喇叭)可知，禁止车辆使用喇叭这项法律是在2017年通过的。B. In 2017.符合以上说法，故选B项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的They said that cows and dogs were free to walk on the roads. They always caused danger. …And although there were quite a few traffic lights in the streets of Kathmandu, very few of them worked. This meant there was often a traffic mess.(他们说，牛和狗可以自由地在路上行走。他们总是造成危险……尽管加德满都的路上有很多红绿灯，但是只有很少能正常工作。这意味这里经常出现交通混乱)可推测，如果去加德满都会发现他们的交通非常拥堵，因为路上有自由行走的动物，而且交通灯大都不工作。B. The traffic on the roads is usually very heavy.(路上的交通很拥堵)符合以上说法，故选B项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最一段The ban on using a car horn went ahead, and within a few weeks the streets of Nepal's capital were quieter-even though they were still just as busy. Because of the ban, drivers are a little more careful when they drive. Fewer accidents have been reported. The local government says the horn ban will now be copied in other areas of Nepal.(禁止使用汽车喇叭的禁令继续实行，几个星期后，尼泊尔首都的街道变得安静了——尽管他们依然繁忙。因为这项禁令，司机开车要更加小心了，报告的事故更少了。当地政府说，这项禁令将在尼泊尔其它地区效仿)可推测，这项禁止汽车使用喇叭的禁令很成功。D. It is successful.(它是成功的)符合以上说法，故选D项。

Celebrations in the age of the coronavirus（冠状病毒） have forced people to get creative. Brandon’s father, Jody Smith, went on Twitter with a simple request. He posted a picture of Brandon on it. In the photo, Brandon is holding up a drawing. It is a blank map of the world. Mr. Smith asked people on Twitter to reply to his post and say where they are.

We talk a lot about air pollution. Here in Hong Kong we always complain about light pollution as well. Then, there is noise pollution. It's the same in many cities around the world. In Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, people have been complaining about/the noise made by drivers who continually sound their car horns(喇). That is until recently, when something was finally done about it.
The Chief District Officer of Kathmandu had received many complaints about horn pollution. He said that everyone felt the use of the car horn in recent years had become excessive. Researchers in Kathmandu found that for about 80 percent of the time, it really was not necessary for drivers to use their car horns. Sounding the horn to make a noise had become more of a habit. It was no longer being used as it was supposed to be used: to warn people of danger.
At the beginning of the Nepali New Year in 2017, the local government passed a law to ban the use of car horns unless used correctly.
Within six months, 11,000 fines(罚款) had been collected by the local traffic police. The e fine was about HK S360. A taxi driver in Kathmandu can make about HK S1, 000 per day, so he could lose about one-third of his money if he broke the law.
As usual, there were many complaints from drivers. They said that cows and dogs were free to walk on the roads. They always caused danger. Sounding a car horn was the only way to get them to move out of the way. And although there were quite a few traffic lights in the streets of Kathmandu, very few of them worked. This meant there was often a traffic mess.
The ban on using a car horn went ahead, and within a few weeks the streets of Nepal's capital were quieter-even though they were still just as busy. Because of the ban, drivers are a little more careful when they drive. Fewer accidents have been reported. The local government says the horn ban will now be copied in other areas of Nepal.
46. What do Hong Kong and Kathmandu have in common?
A. Both have been troubled by factory pollution.
B. Both have succeeded in fighting air pollution.
C. Both have been faced with the problem of noise pollution.
D. Both have received many complaints about horn pollution.
47. What do the Researchers in Kathmandu found?
A. Car drivers usually use car horns unnecessarily.
B. The cars are becoming more and more.
C. Care drivers use car horns as a warning.
D. Everyone complain about the horn pollution.
48. When was the law on the use of car horns passed?
A. In 2016. B. In 2017.
C. ln 2018. D. In 2019.
49. What will you find if you go to Kathmandu?
A. No traffic lights in the streets can work.
B. The traffic on the roads is usually very heavy.
C. Animals are not allowed to walk on the streets.
D. Drivers are required to drive on one-way streets.
50. What can we guess about Kathmandu's horn ban?
A. It is unfair. B. It is worrying.
C. It is interesting. D. It is successful.

Celebrations in the age of the coronavirus（冠状病毒） have forced people to get creative. Brandon’s father, Jody Smith, went on Twitter with a simple request. He posted a picture of Brandon on it. In the photo, Brandon is holding up a drawing. It is a blank map of the world. Mr. Smith asked people on Twitter to reply to his post and say where they are.

这是一篇记叙文。本文记叙了Brandon的特殊的生日——新冠期间他父亲为他在推特上发帖子征求回应你在世界的哪里，出人意料的是回应来自于全世界各地，Brandon成了热门话题人物。而Brandon有自闭症，不愿意有什么生日聚会，他喜欢做自己想要做的事情。Smith先生说他很高兴看到人们的善举，这种回应让Brandon感到生日过的很特别。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。审题得知为什么Smith在推特上请求人们发送生日信息给他儿子。可以定位于：It is a tough time to have a birthday. But he still had a socially distanced birthday celebration that he will always remember.第一段末尾的句子告诉我们：在这时候过生日是很艰难的。但他依然度过了一个难忘的社交距离生日庆祝。第二段开始点睛之笔：Celebrations in the age of the coronavirus（冠状病毒） have forced people to get creative.在冠状病毒时期庆祝生日迫使人们创新性的想办法去过一个生日。故逆向思维得知在冠状病毒期间想像平时那样庆祝生日是不可能的事情。故D选项：He could not celebrate how he usually would because of the coronavirus.“因为冠状病毒期间，他不能像以往那样庆祝自己的生日了。”切合文意。故选D。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。审题得知Brandon得知人们告诉他他们的地点后发生了什么。可以定位于：Brandon would add each spot to his map. Brandon会将每一个地点添加到地图上。换一句话说就是会在地图上标识地点。后文也有类似表达：Each time one arrived, Brandon put a mark on his map. 每次电话告知时，Brandon都会在地图上贴上一个标识。He put it wherever the message came from. He knew where most places were. He hardly had to look at a real map to check.他几乎等不及在真正的地图上看来自于何方的人。By noon, Brandon’s map was covered in marks.到中午的时候，Brandon的地图上贴满了标识。综合这些信息，可以得出A选项：He marked the locations on his map.“他在他的地图上标识地点。”切合文意。故选A。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。审题得知关键词信息为does not like birthday parties不喜欢生日聚会。定位于Brandon did not really want a birthday party. He wanted to do an activity he likes. “Brandon is on the autism spectrum（自闭症）.” Smith said. Smith先生说他喜欢做他自己喜欢的事情，“Brandon有自闭症。”接下来文章说Children with autism have different abilities.有自闭症的孩子都有不同常人的能力。从这里可以推出选项C切合文意。故选C。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。审题得知：为什么Smith先生很惊讶于推特帖子的回应是如此多。根据此意可定位于：“I thought it would be fun to get 50-maybe 100-people to reply from around the world, and most would be in the US.” Smith said, “That’s really what my expectations were.”前一句说预料到50个人回应，最多100人罢了，且多半是美国人。但是：To his surprise, however, thousands of responses to Smith’s request came in. Pictures were sent from the Caribbean, South America and Europe令他惊讶的是成千上万的对Smith先生请求的回应以及图片发送自于加勒比地区、南美洲和欧洲。这些线索足以说明B选项：He did not expect so many people to reply to it.“他没有期待有那么多的人回应此事。”切合文意。故选B。
【45题详解】
猜测词义题。审题定位于times，同意表达见于文首：It is a tough time to have a birthday.庆祝生日是一个艰难的时刻。然后在划线单词处说：He was glad to see people being kind. Mr. Smith said the responses made Brandon feel so special on his birthday.他很高兴 看到人们的善举，Smith先生说这些回应使得Brandon感觉他的生日过得如此的特别。前者交代这是一个什么样的时刻，后者交代在这个时刻里我们可以做到什么。反过来也证明tough一词就是trying的转义说法。故A选项Difficult困难的，艰难的切合文意。故选A。
C
We talk a lot about air pollution. Here in Hong Kong we always complain about light pollution as well. Then, there is noise pollution. It's the same in many cities around the world. In Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, people have been complaining about/the noise made by drivers who continually sound their car horns(喇). That is until recently, when something was finally done about it.
The Chief District Officer of Kathmandu had received many complaints about horn pollution. He said that everyone felt the use of the car horn in recent years had become excessive. Researchers in Kathmandu found that for about 80 percent of the time, it really was not necessary for drivers to use their car horns. Sounding the horn to make a noise had become more of a habit. It was no longer being used as it was supposed to be used: to warn people of danger.
At the beginning of the Nepali New Year in 2017, the local government passed a law to ban the use of car horns unless used correctly.
Within six months, 11,000 fines(罚款) had been collected by the local traffic police. The e fine was about HK S360. A taxi driver in Kathmandu can make about HK S1, 000 per day, so he could lose about one-third of his money if he broke the law.
As usual, there were many complaints from drivers. They said that cows and dogs were free to walk on the roads. They always caused danger. Sounding a car horn was the only way to get them to move out of the way. And although there were quite a few traffic lights in the streets of Kathmandu, very few of them worked. This meant there was often a traffic mess.
The ban on using a car horn went ahead, and within a few weeks the streets of Nepal's capital were quieter-even though they were still just as busy. Because of the ban, drivers are a little more careful when they drive. Fewer accidents have been reported. The local government says the horn ban will now be copied in other areas of Nepal.
46. What do Hong Kong and Kathmandu have in common?
A. Both have been troubled by factory pollution.
B. Both have succeeded in fighting air pollution.
C. Both have been faced with the problem of noise pollution.
D. Both have received many complaints about horn pollution.
47. What do the Researchers in Kathmandu found?
A. Car drivers usually use car horns unnecessarily.
B. The cars are becoming more and more.
C. Care drivers use car horns as a warning.
D. Everyone complain about the horn pollution.
48. When was the law on the use of car horns passed?
A. In 2016. B. In 2017.
C. ln 2018. D. In 2019.
49. What will you find if you go to Kathmandu?
A. No traffic lights in the streets can work.
B. The traffic on the roads is usually very heavy.
C. Animals are not allowed to walk on the streets.
D. Drivers are required to drive on one-way streets.
50. What can we guess about Kathmandu's horn ban?
A. It is unfair. B. It is worrying.
C. It is interesting. D. It is successful.
