Journey
Brief Introduction
The story is about a girl who’s bored and can’t get anyone in her family to play with her. She goes to her room feeling sad but discovers a bright red crayon and decides to make her own adventure, and draws a door on the wall that takes her to a beautiful forest with a river. She draws a boat and sails to a city where men are trying to capture a bird. She bravely rescues the bird but finds herself captured and placed in a cage. The grateful bird helps her escape, and together they fly to safety and back to the city where the girl lives becoming close friends.

【原文】Learning
a
new
language
like
English
can
be
a
challenge,
but
with
regular
study
it
can
be
done.
Classes
are
important,
but
so
is
disciplined
practice.
It
can
even
be
fun.
Here
are
some
guidelines
to
help
you
improve
your
reading
and
comprehension
skills
and
become
a
better
English
student.
Learning
any
new
language
is
a
time-consuming
process.
Rather
than
try
a
few
hours
of
review
in
once
or
twice
a
week,
most
experts
say
short,
regular
study
sessions
are
more
effective.
As
little
as
30
minutes
a
day
can
help
you
improve
your
English
skills
overtime.
Instead
of
focus
on
one
single
task
for
an
entire
study
session,
try
mixing
things
up.
Study
a
little
grammar,then
do
a
short
listening
exercise,
then
perhaps
read
an
article
on
the
same
topic.
Don’t
do
too
much.
20
minutes
on
three
different
exercises
is
plenty.
The
variety
will
keep
you
engaged
and
make
studying
more
fun.
Reading
English-language
newspapers
and
books,
listening
to
music,
or
watching
TV
can
also
help
you
improve
your
written
and
verbal
comprehension
skills.
By
doing
so
repeatedly,
you
will
begin
to
unconsciously
absorb
things
like
pronunciation,
speech
patterns,
accents
and
grammar.

As
more
and
more
people
speak
the
global
languages
of
English,
Chinese,
Spanish,
and
Arabic,
other
languages
are
rapidly
disappearing.
In
fact,
half
of
the
6,000-7,000
languages
spoken
around
the
world
today
will
likely
die
out
by
the
next
century,
according
to
the
United
Nations
Educational,
Scientific
and
Cultural
Organization
(UNESCO).
In
an
effort
to
prevent
language
loss,
scholars
from
a
number
of
organizations
—
UNESCO
and
National
Geographic
among
them
—
have
for
many
years
been
documenting
dying
languages
and
the
cultures
they
reflect.
Mark
Turin,
a
scientists
at
the
Macmillan
Centre
Yale
University,
who
specializes
in
the
languages
and
oral
traditions
of
the
Himalayas,
is
following
in
that
tradition.
His
recently
published
book,
A
Grammar
of
Thangmi
with
an
Ethnolingustic
Introduction
to
the
Speaker
and
Their
Culture,
grows
out
of
his
experience
of
living,
working,
and
raising
a
family
in
a
village
in
Nepal.
Documenting
the
Thang-mi
language
and
culture
is
just
a
starting
point
for
Turin,
who
seeks
to
include
other
languages
and
oral
traditions
across
the
Himalayan
reaches
of
India,
Nepal,
Bhutan,
and
China.
But
he
is
not
content
to
simply
record
these
voices
before
they
disappear
without
record.
At
the
University
of
Cambridge
Turin
discovered
a
wealth
of
important
materials
—
including
photographs,
films,
tape
recording,
and
field
notes
—
which
had
remained
unstudied
and
were
badly
in
need
of
care
and
protection.
Now,
through
the
two
organizations
that
he
has
founded
—
the
Digital
Himalaya
Project
and
the
World
Oral
Literature
Project
—
Turin
has
started
a
campaign
to
make
such
documents
available
not
just
to
scholars
but
to
the
younger
generations
of
communities
from

C
When
we
look
at
a
lovely
baby,
a
puppy
or
a
really
cute
kitten
many
of
us
want
to
squeeze
it.
Why
is
that?
According
to
a
study
published
in
the
journal
Frontiers
in
Behavioral
Neuroscience,
it’s
a
typical
experience
of
“cute
aggression”.
The
experience
results
from
the
fight
between
the
brain’s
“emotion
system”,
which
impels
(驱使)
people
to
squeeze
cute
things,
and
its
“reward
system”
which
deals
with
feelings
of
“wanting”.
In
the
study,
54
participants
between
the
ages
of
18
and
40
were
presented
with
four
groups
of
photos.
Two
of
the
groups
of
photos
were
of
cute
human
babies
and
animals
and
the
other
two
were
of
less
adorable
adult
humans
and
animals.
As
the
participants
looked
at
the
photos,
there
searchers
watched
their
brain
activities.
According
to
the
researchers,
the
participants
reward
systems
were
found
to
be
active
as
they
looked
at
the
cute
babies,
and
they
seemed
to
be
overwhelmed(征服的).
By
contrast,
the
reward
systems
of
the
people
looking
at
the
less
cute
adults
were
found
to
be
inactive,
and
they
seemed
to
be
less
impelled
by
their
reward
systems.
This
suggests
that
cute
things
activate
their
emotion
systems
in
such
a
way
that
people
are
overwhelmed
by
the
experience
of
cuteness.
But
reward
systems
work
against
these
emotions
by
creating
the
desire
to
protect
cute
things.
As
Katherine
Stavropoulos,
the
lead
researcher
of
this
study
at
the
University
of
California
in
the
US
told
Science
Alert,
“The
cute
aggression
is
the
brain’s
way
of
‘bringing
us
back
down’
by
balancing
our
feelings
of
being
overwhelmed.”
Stavropoulos
compared
this
process
of
balancing
to
an
evolutionary
adaptation.
Such
an
adaptation
may
have
taken
place
to
ensure
that
people
are
able
to
continue
taking
care
of
creatures
they
consider
particularly
cute.
So,
although
cute
babies
and
adorable
animals
may
look
completely
helpless,
their
vulnerable(
易受伤害的)
appearance
may
in
fact
help
them
to
survive.

aggression的研究结果。故选C。
D
While
the
human
world
is
suffering
from
the
novel
coronavirus
outbreak,
our
planet
is
actually
showing
certain
signs
of
“recovery”
from
the
damage
caused
by
human
activity.
According
to
the
BBC,
new
satellite
images
released
by
the
European
Space
Agency
showed
that
levels
of
air
pollutants
and
greenhouse
gases
have
“fallen
sharply”
in
major
cities
in
Europe
and
the
United
States
ever
since
the
lockdown(活动限制)
started.
This
is
what
happened
after
recent
discoveries
in
Antarctica.
An
international
team
of
89
scientists
found
that
the
ice
in
Greenland
and
Antarctica
is
melting
six
times
faster
in
the
2010s
than
it
was
in
the
1990s.
And
in
February,
Argentina’s
Marambio
research
station
in
Antarctica
recorded
a
record
high
temperature
of
20.75
℃
on
the
continent.
So
what
exactly
will
happen
if
the
temperature
keeps
rising
and
the
ice
keeps
melting?
A
third
study
might
give
you
an
idea.
A
team
of
scientists
drilled
a
hole
into
the
seafloor
in
west
Antarctica
and
extracted
material
from
underground,
in
which
they
found
traces
of
roots,
spores
and
pollen—typical
products
of
a
rainforest—that
dated
back
90
million
years
ago.
In
other
words,
Antarctica
was
very
likely
a
rainforest
back
when
the
dinosaurs
walked
on
Earth.
But
given
the
fact
that
the
South
Pole
has
four
months
of
darkness
during
winter—even
millions
of
years
ago—scientists
believe
that
the
rainforest
could
only
exist
if
the
greenhouse
gas
concentrations
were
extremely
high
back
then
to
keep
the
continent
warm
when
there
was
little
or
no
sunlight.
“We
didn’t
know
that
this
Cretaceous
(白垩纪的)
greenhouse
climate
was
that
extreme,”
Johann
Klages
of
the
Alfred
Wegener
Institute
in
Germany
and
a
co-author
of
the
research
told
the
Guardian.
“It
shows
us
what
carbon
dioxide
is
able
to
do.”
Ice
or
no
ice,
Antarctica
will
be—and
has
always
been—fine
with
extreme
changes.
The
human
world,
however,
may
not
be.
Now,
during
the
coronavirus
lockdown,
we’ve
seen
the
changes
resulting
from
less
human
activity.
Hopefully,
we’ll
hold
on
to
those
changes—not
for
Antarctica
or
the
planet,
but
for
ourselves.

本文是一篇说明文。文章通过讲述新冠肺炎期间的封城给环境带来的积极影响，以及南极洲的考察发现的温室气体浓度上升带来的影响，阐述减少人类活动有助于我们星球的恢复。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“According

started.”(据英国广播公司报道，欧洲航天局发布的新卫星图像显示，自封城开始以来，欧洲和美国主要城市的空气污染物和温室气体水平“急剧下降”。)可知，文章第一段主要告诉我们由新冠肺炎引起的封城给环境带来了积极的影响，比如空气污染物和温室气体水平都急剧下降。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段
“In
other

(换句话说，当恐龙在地球上行走的时候，南极洲很可能是一个热带雨林。但考虑到南极在冬天有四个月是黑暗的这一事实——即使是在几百万年前——科学家们相信，热带雨林只有在当时温室气体浓度极高的情况下才能存在，才能在阳光很少或没有阳光的情况下保持大陆的温暖)”
可知，当时的南极有可能温室气体的浓度非常高。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段提到，因为封城导致了“levels
of
air
pollutants
and
greenhouse
gases
have
“fallen
sharply”(空气污染物和温室气体水平“急剧下降”。)”接着从文章的第二段至第四段举例南极洲的发现告诉我们温室气体升高对环境的作用。最后一段作者提出呼吁
“Hopefully,
we’ll
hold
on
to
those
changes—not
for
Antarctica
or
the
planet,
but
for
ourselves.
(希望我们能坚持这些改变——不是为了南极洲或地球，而是为了我们自己。)
”综上可知，本文的目的是呼吁我们减少人类对环境的影响。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“While

第二节
(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
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。
Your
brain
lies
to
you
a
lot.
We’re
sorry
to
have
to
tell
you
this
but
it’s
true.
Even
when
your
brain
is
doing
important
and
difficult
stuff,
you’re
not
aware
of
most
of
what’s
going
on.
____36____
For
the
most
part,
it’s
doing
a
great
job,
working
hard
to
help
you
survive
and
achieve
your
goals
in
a
complicated
world.
Because
you
often
have
to
react
quickly
to
emergencies
and
opportunities,
your
brain
usually
tries
to
get
a
simple
answer
in
a
hurry
rather
than
a
prefect
answer
that
takes
time
to
work
out.
But
as
the
world
is
not
simple,
this
means
that
your
brain
has
to
take
shortcuts
and
make
a
lot
of
assumptions.
____37____
The
problem
starts
when
the
brain
takes
in
information
from
the
world
through
the
senses.
Even
if
you
are
sitting
quietly
in
a
room,
your
brain
receives
far
more
information
than
it
can
hold
on
to
or
than
you
need
to
decide
how
to
act.
You
may
be
aware
of
the
detailed
pattern
of
colours
in
the
rug,
the
photographs
on
the
wall
and
the
sounds
of
birds
outside.
___38___
Usually
these
things
aren’t
important
so
we
don’t
often
notice
how
much
information
we
lose.
When
people
look
at
complicated
pictures,
they
can
identify
differences
if
the
images
remain
still.
But
if
the
image
moves
quickly,
then
they
have
a
lot
more
trouble.
____39____
To
test
this,
psychologists
have
tried
more
interesting
ways
of
getting
people
to
fail
to
notice
things.
In
one
of
our
favorites,
a
researcher
approaches
someone
on
the
street
and
asks
for
directions.
While
the
person
is
replying,
workmen
carry
a
large
door
between
the
two
people,
blocking
their
view
of
each
other.
Behind
the
cover
of
the
door,
the
person
who
asked
for
directions
is
replaced
by
another
researcher
who
carries
on
the
conversation
as
if
nothing
had
happened.
Even
when
the
second
person
looks
very
different
from
the
first,
the
person
giving
the
directions
has
only
about
a
fifty
per
cent
chance
of
noticing
the
change.
____40____
A.
Your
brain’s
lies
are
in
your
best
interest—most
of
the
time—but
they
also
lead
to
predictable
mistakes.
B.
This
is
because
we
imagine
that
we
remember
more
details
than
we
really
can.
C.
The
experiments
illustrate
that
you
perceive
only
a
little
bit
of
what’s
going
on
in
the
world.
D.
Your
brain
selectively
processes
details
that
are
important
for
you
to
notice.
E.
Your
brain
perceives
many
other
aspects
of
the
scene
initially
but
quickly
forgets
them.
F.
This
happens
because
our
visual
memory
isn’t
very
good.
G.
Your
brain
doesn’t
intend
to
lie
to
you,
of
course.

world.”(在大多数情况下，它工作得很好，努力帮助你在一个复杂的世界生存以及实现你的目标。可知，大脑的工作还是很好的，据此可以推断，空白处填的是大脑并不是有意要对我们撒谎的。G.Your
brain
doesn't
intend
to
lie
to
you,
of
course.（当然你的大脑并非有意对你撒谎）符合文意。故选G。
【37题详解】
上文“But
as
the
world
is
not
simple,
this
means
that
your
brain
has
to
take
shortcuts
and
make
a
lot
of
assumptions.”但世界并不简单，这意味着你的大脑不得不走捷径，做出很多假设。可知，设空处承接上文，举例说明“大脑如何走捷径，做出假设”，选项D.
Your
brain
selectively
processes
details
that
are
important
for
you
to
notice.
你的大脑有选择地处理对你来说很重要的细节，符合文意。故选D。
【38题详解】
结合空白处后一句“Usually
these
things
aren’t
important
so
we
don’t
often
notice
how
much
information
we
lose.”
通常这些事情并不重要，所以我们通常不会注意到我们丢失了多少信息。据此可知，设空处表明，我们的大脑会接受很对东西，同时会忘掉一些东西。选项E.
Your
brain
perceives
many
other
aspects
of
the
scene
initially
but
quickly
forgets
them.
你的大脑一开始会感知场景的很多其他方面，但很快就忘记了。空白处后面的句子是对前面内容的补充说明。符合文意，故选E。
【39题详解】
上文“When
people
look
at
complicated
pictures,
they
can
identify
differences
if
the
images
remain
still.
But
if
the
image
moves
quickly,
then
they
have
a
lot
more
trouble.”（当人们看到复杂的图片时，如果图片保持静止，他们就能辨别出不同之处。但如果图像移动得很快，他们就会遇到更多麻烦）说明了一种现象，由此推测设空处解释原因，F选项“这是因为我们的视觉记忆不是很好”切题，下文介绍的实验也有力的证明我们的视觉记忆不是很好，故选F。
【40题详解】
上文说了一个实验，设空处是对实验的总结，选项C.
The
experiments
illustrate
that
you
perceive
only
a
little
bit
of
what’s
going
on
in
the
world.
实验表明，你只能感知世界上发生的事情的一小部分,符合文意。故选C。

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文，介绍了压力对于人们来说并不完全是一件坏事，适当的压力对人是有益的。
【56题详解】
考查时态。句意：在过去的几年里，有许多男人和女人选择做一些竞争性小一点的事情做。时间状语“In
the
past
few
years”表明用现在完成时，主语是复数，故填have
chosen。
【57题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：他们害怕工作压力抢走他们的快乐和幸福，并且给他们身心带来伤害。分析句子结构可知，句中的固定搭配rob
sb
of
sth，意为“从某人身上抢走某物”，故填of。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：事实上，压力并不像通常认为的那样是件坏事。分析句子结构可知空后是一个定语从句，先行词a
bad
thing被such修饰，关系词应该用as。故填as。
【59题详解】
考查连词。句意：最重要的是，除非压力失控，否则一定量的压力是很重要的，因为它给原本毫无意义、无所事事的生活提供动力、挑战和目标。分析句子可知，空处所在句是条件状语从句，表假设，且根据句意可知用unless，意为“除非”。故填unless。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。a(n)...life泛指“一种……样的生活”，空处需要不定冠词，otherwise
的发音以元音音素开头，所以用不定冠词an，故填an。
【61题详解】
考查连词。句意：此外，有压力的人趋于表现出他们的潜力和认识到他们自己个人价值。分析句子并结合句意可知，上下文是并列关系，需要用and连接。故填and。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意：研究表明，事实上，适当的压力可以强化免疫系统并且对健康有好处。修饰整个句子用副词。故填actually。
【63题详解】
考查动词。句意：事实上，适当的压力可以强化免疫系统并且对健康有好处。分析句子可知，空处用动词在句中作谓语，空前是情态动词，需用动词原形，故填strengthen。
【64题详解】
考查不定式。句意：压力是每天生活的一部分，并且没有办法可以逃避。
way
to
do表示“做……的办法”，用不定式作后置定语。故填to
escape。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：形成我们处理压力的适应能力可以阻止我们在竞争性社会中被打败。分析句子可知，句中运用固定搭配prevent
sb
from
doing
sth，意为“阻止某人做某事”。
us与defeat之间是被动关系，所以用动名词的被动式，故填being
defeated。

第二节（满分25分）
67.
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。
While
waiting
to
pick
up
a
friend
at
the
airport
in
Portland,
Oregon,
I
had
one
of
those
life-changing
experiences
that
you
hear
other
people
talk
about
—
the
kind
that
sneaks
up
on
you
unexpectedly.
This
one
occurred
a
mere
two
feet
away
from
me.
Locating
my
friend
among
the
passengers,
I
noticed
a
man
coming
toward
me
carrying
two
light
bags.
He
stopped
right
next
to
me
to
greet
his
family.
First
he
motioned
to
his
youngest
son
(maybe
six
years
old)
as
he
laid
down
his
bags.
They
gave
each
other
a
long,
loving
hug.
As
they
separated
enough
to
look
in
each
other’s
face,
I
heard
the
father
say,
“It’s
so
good
to
see
you,
son.
I
missed
you
so
much!”
His
son
smiled
somewhat
shyly,
and
replied
softly,
“Me,
too,
Dad!”
While
this
was
happening,
a
baby
girl
(perhaps
one
or
one-and-a-half)
was
squirming
excitedly
in
her
mother’s
arms,
never
once
taking
her
little
eyes
off
the
wonderful
sight
of
her
returning
father.
The
man
said,
“Hi,
baby
girl!”
as
he
gently
took
the
child
from
her
mother.
He
quickly
kissed
her
face
all
over
and
then
held
her
close
to
his
chest
while
rocking
her
from
side
to
side.
The
little
girl
instantly
relaxed
and
simply
laid
her
head
on
his
shoulder,
motionless
in
pure
contentment.
After
several
moments,
he
handed
his
daughter
to
his
oldest
son
and
declared,
“I’ve
saved
the
best
for
last!”
and
proceeded
to
give
his
wife
the
longest,
most
passionate
kiss
I
ever
remember
seeing.
He
gazed
into
her
eyes
for
several
seconds
and
then
silently
mouthed.
“I
love
you
so
much!”
They
stared
at
each
other’s
eyes,
beaming
big
smiles
at
one
another,
while
holding
both
hands.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答；
3.恰当运用1-2个非谓语动词和相关从句。
For
an
instant
they
reminded
me
of
newlyweds,
but
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Married
twelve
years.”
he
replied,
without
breaking
his
gaze
from
his
lovely
wife’s
face.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】For
an
instant
they
reminded
me
of
newlyweds,
but
I
knew
by
the
age
of
their
kids
that
they
couldn’t
possibly
be.
I
puzzled
about
it
for
a
moment
then
realized
how
totally
focused
I
was
on
the
wonderful
display
of
unconditional
love
not
more
than
an
arm’s
length
away
from
me.
I
suddenly
felt
uncomfortable,
as
if
I
was
invading
something
sacred,
but
was
amazed
to
hear
my
own
voice
nervously
ask,
“Wow!
How
long
have
you
two
been
married?
“Married
twelve
years.”
he
replied,
without
breaking
his
gaze
from
his
lovely
wife’s
face.
“Well,
how
long
have
you
been
away?”
I
asked.
The
man
finally
turned
and
looked
at
me,
still
beaming
his
joyous
smile.
“Two
whole
days!”
I
was
stunned.
“I
hope
my
marriage
is
still
that
passionate
after
twelve
years!”
The
man
suddenly
stopped
smiling.
He
looked

eye
and
told

something
that

a

person.
“Don’t
hope,
friend…
decide!”
【解析】
【分析】
本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，文章主要讲述了“我”去机场接朋友，看到一位男子下飞机后与家人相聚，他们才分开两天但见面时的热烈场景让“我”以为是分开了好长时间。原来这就是他们二十多年幸福婚姻的秘诀。“我”希望十多年后“我”的婚姻也是这样，而男子告诉“我”说，不要希望而是要去做。
【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是他们一下子让我想起了新婚，但是……，所以应该“我”根据孩子的年龄判断他们应该不是新婚，对美好的家庭时光的欣赏，以及最后忍不住问他们是否新婚等。第二段开头是：“结婚十二年了。”
他回答道，依然凝视着他可爱的妻子的脸。本段应该写“我”感到很好奇，问他离家多久，得知只有两天的时候感到很震惊。文章最后指出一个道理：不要一直想着希望如何幸福，而是要着手去做。
【点睛】文章结构合理，思路清晰，使用了恰当的连接词及词组使行文连贯，如“but，and，as
if”，也运用了一些高级词汇和表达，如“for
an
instant；possibly；focus；display；nervously；gaze”以及定语从句“He
looked
me
straight
in
the
eye
and
told
me
something
that
left
me
a
different
person.”等，增加了文章的亮点，体现了学生较高的英语学科素养。
