It
was
the
first
family
ski
weekend
in
Colorado.
I
was
tired
and
considered
quitting
it.
But
I
figured
I
should
push
through—if
I
skipped
out,
then
the
kids
would
think
that
they
could
too.
After
dropping
the
kids
at
ski
school,
my
husband
and
I
charted
our
course
on
the
mountain
map.
Then,
I
pushed
off
and
three
minutes
later,
my
right
ski
inverted
(倒转的)
and
took
my
leg
with
it...
I
still
remember
hearing
the
crack.
I
was
taken
down
the
mountain
in
an
ambulance.
After
surgery
I
woke
up
with
my
leg
bandaged
beyond
recognition,
my
mouth
dry
and
my
mind
confused.
I
wouldn’t
walk
for
three
months,
optimistically.
I
couldn’t
drive.
I
couldn’t
navigate
the
steps
in
our
house.
I
couldn’t
even
shower
on
my
own.
I
turned
to
Adam
and
asked,
“How
are
we
going
to
manage?”
“We’ll
figure
it
out,”
Adam
said.
I
nodded,
because
what
was
the
alternative?
But
nowhere
in
any
of
my
cells
did
I
believe
him.
Not
even
a
tiny
bit.
But
something
unexpected
happened:
my
children
learned
to
be
both
autonomous
and
empathetic.
They
ran
up
the
steps
each
day
after
school
to
check
on
me.
Without
the
luxury
of
my
packing
their
lunches
or
ensuring
that
their
homework
was
filed,
they
learned
to
do
it
themselves.
And
my
husband
too!
The
man
previously
had
to
be
told
what
to
do
and
when
to
do
it,
and
sometimes
why
too.
When
I
went
down
on
the
mountain,
he
attended
to
my
every
need,
as
he
said
to
me
once,
“After
all
the
years
that
you
did
so
much,
it
was
my
turn
to
show
up.”
Sometimes—many
times—both
in
life
and
in
marriage
you
hope
for
the
sunset
overlooking
the
ocean
off
a
deserted
beach,
but
what
you
get
is
a
drive
to
physical
therapy.
That’s
OK.
When
I
went
down
on
that
mountain,
I
worried
that
my
injury
would
upend
everything.
It
turns
out
that
it
did.

Different
contexts
affect
food
production,
processing,
trade,
marketing
and
consumption.
As
a
result
of
this,
the
food
availability,
accessibility,
and
affordability—
as
well
as
consumers’
dietary
behaviour
and
nutritional
status—vary.
One
possible
picture
is
presented
here
to
provide
an
idea
on
how
COVID-19
might
impact
the
global
food
system.
Consumer
demand
plays
a
crucial
role
in
food
production
and
their
demands
depend
on
purchasing
power
and
preference.
Because
of
the
lockdown,
there
is
no
work
for
many
people.
As
a
result,
they
do
not
have
enough
money
to
buy
adequate
food
for
their
families.
The
closure
of
restaurants,
school
meals
and
tourism
businesses
may
reduce
the
demand
for
fresh
food.
People
buy
frozen.
dried
and
canned
food
with
longer
shelf
life.
Energy-dense,
less
nutritious
foods
are
often
more
affordable
than
fresh
and
nutritious
one.
According
to
the
Centers
for
Disease
Control
and
Prevention,
COVID-19
is
not
likely
to
be
transmitted
through
food.
However,
workers
can
get
infected
by
each
other
if
they
do
not
maintain
social
distance
properly.
Shortage
of
labor
can
not
only
hamper
food
production,
but
also
the
processing
of
food.
Around
the
world,
millions
of
people
depend
on
international
trade
either
for
then-
livelihood
or
food
security.
The
virus
outbreak
might
slow
down
global
trade
and
marketing
of
food.
As
a
result,
countries
depending
on
imported
food
can
face
difficulties.
The
closure
of
ports
and
other
supply
restrictions
will
hamper
food
supply.
The
price
of
transferring
food
within
and
outside
of
the
country
may
get
more
expensive.
It
means
import
may
get
more
expensive
and
export
may
bring
less
money.
On
the
other
hand,
the
restriction
in
transport
and
supply
can
be
the
cause
of
food
loss
particularly
for
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables.
Companies
may
face
difficulties
to
import
the
ingredients
for
different
products
which
may
disturb
the
production.
8.
The
passage
is
mainly
about
________.
A.
why
the
food
system
is
easily
affected
by
COVID-19
B.
how
the
world
may
be
affected
by
COVID-19
outbreak
C.
what
effect
COVID-19
may
have
on
the
food
system
D.
what
contexts
affect
food
production
9.
How
is
consumers’
dietary
behavior
changing
now?
A.
They
are
eating
more
fresh
food.
B.
Energy-dense
food
is
not
popular
with
them.
C.
They
buy
more
less
nutritious
food.
D.
A
balanced
diet
provides
adequate
nutrition
for
them.
10.
Paragraph
3
is
related
to
food
________.
A.
gathering
B.
trade
C.
market
D.
processing
11.
Which
of
the
following
leads
to
the
shortage
of
fresh
food?
A.
Growing
concern
for
food
security.
B.
Inadequate
ingredients.
C.
Increased
processed
food.
D.
Limited
transport
and
supply.
D
Thirst
is
one
of
the
fundamental
urges
a
living
thing
can
have.
After
all,
water
is
the
solvent
that
we
rely
on
to
transport
essential
molecules
(分子)
around
our
bodies
to
keep
us
alive.
So
it
is
perhaps
a
bit
suspicious
that
water
doesn’t
seem
to
have
any
flavor.
Shouldn’t
we
have
evolved
a
taste
for
this
essential
substance?
Well,
perhaps
we
have.
Several
new
studies
seem
to
indicate
not
only
that
water
does,
in
fact,
have
a
taste,
but
that
we
might
have
taste
buds
(味蕾)
that
respond
directly
to
it.
We
now
know
that
there
are
at
least
five
basic
tastes:
salty,
sour,
sweet,
bitter
and
umami.
If
there
is
a
sixth
taste
for
water,
then
we
should
be
able
to
see
evidence
for
it
somewhere
in
the
mouth
or
tongue.
Yuki
Oka
and
his
colleagues
have
sought
to
solve
the
issue
once
and
for
all.
They
have
thought
up
an
experiment
that
seeks
to
identify
any
water
sensing
taste
receptor
cells
(TRCs)
on
the
tongues
of
lab
mice.
The
team
first
used
a
technique
known
as
genetic
knockout
to
silence
different
types
of
TRCs,
in
order
to
remove
the
possibility
that
those
cells
might
accidentally
discover
some
other
taste
within
the
water
besides
the
water
itself.
They
then
flushed
the
rodents’
mouths
with
water
to
see
if
any
cells
were
still
responding.
It
turned
out
that
the
acid-sensing
sour
TRCs
were
still
firing
vigorously
indicating
these
cells
might
have
a
double
purpose,
capable
of
distinguishing
water
or
acidic
fluids.
So
if
you
are
on
the
side
of
the
debate
that
argues
that
water
is
flavorless,
you
might
still
be
correct.
But
water
isn’t
senseless.
At
least
it
doesn’t
appear
that
way
according
to
this
research.
The
study
also
opens
up
the
possibility
that
our
tongues
and
taste
buds
might
be
doing
more
than
merely
providing
us
with
a
sense
of
taste.
If
this
study
doesn’t
prove
that
water
is
the
sixth
flavor,
it
might
nonetheless
be
the
first
evidence
of
a
whole
other
sense
entirely:
a
water
sense.

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。
Are
men
able
to
dance?
Well,
if
I
am
an
example,
then
no—I
have
two
left
feet
and
taking
to
the
dance
floor
just
fills
me
with
dread.
But
of
course,
we
know
that
most
of
us
have
the
potential
to
throw
some
shapes,
_____16_____
If
you’ve
ever
watched
fascinating
dance
shows
on
TV,
you’ll
know
that
there
are
men
who
have
great
dexterity
and
fancy
footwork
on
the
dance
floor.
These
professional
dancers
have
spent
years
learning
and
performing
ballroom
dances
such
as
the
waltz,
foxtrot
and
tango.
____17____
According
to
a
survey,
over
three
quarters
of
British
men
have
never
or
rarely
danced.
It
found
that
over
a
third
of
men
surveyed
wouldn’t
show
off
their
skills
on
the
dance
floor
because
they
were
too
embarrassed.
And
ten
percent
said
what
put
them
off
was
fear
of
being
the
center
of
attention,
being
made
fun
of,
or
being
judged.
Women
may
say
we
have
to
relax,
get
on
our
feet
and
just
let
ourselves
go!
_____18_____
But
what
helps
is
a
crowded
dance
floor
where
there
is
safety
in
numbers.
And
according
to
the
survey,
_____19_____
One
man
questioned
said,
“I
don’t
think
I’m
very
good
at
it
and
therefore
need
some
Dutch
courage
to
get
me
on
the
floor.”
____20____
We
need
training,
we
need
to
practice
and
we
need
to
lose
our
inhibitions.
Gareth
Dew,
who
took
part
in
the
survey,
says,
“I
think
to
be
able
to
dance
you
need
to
be
able
to
let
loose,
be
aware
of
your
body
and
generally
be
more
comfortable
in
yourself.”
Would
you
agree?
A.
as
long
as
we
are
smart
enough.
B.
men
always
need
a
great
dancing
partner.
C.
so
what
is
it
that’s
stopping
us?
D.
many
men
need
a
drink.
E.
But
for
a
majority
of
us
men,
we
are
not
willing
to
participate.
F.
Easier
said
than
done.
G.
So
let’s
face
it,
men
just
need
help.

语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
When
Susan
woke
up
at
five
thirty
a.
m.,
the
first
thing
she
did
was
check
her
work
e-mail
at
her
kitchen
table.
She
would
spend
a
good
forty-five
minutes
over
coffee
responding
to
questions.
Then
she
___21___
off
on
an
hour-long
journey
to
put
in
a
ten-hour
day
as
a
key
manager
for
a
large
company.
Her
job
was
___22___
—conflicts
to
be
negotiated
and
fires
to
be
put
out.
By
six
p.
m.,
she
was
already
exhausted,
_____23_____
she
usually
felt
it
her
duty
to
stay
late
or
go
out
for
or
drinks
with
coworkers.
Susan
wanted
to
start
her
own
_____24_____,
and
was
taking
steps
to
_____25_____
herself
financially
and
professionally.
However,
most
evenings
she
was
too
_____26_____
to
make
much
progress
on
her
own
business
plan,
and
she
_____27_____
that
she’d
be
stuck
in
her
present
job
forever.
When
Susan
analyzed
how
she
was
spending
her
willpower,
it
was
obvious
that
her
_____28_____
was
getting
a
hundred
percent.
The
kitchen-table
e-mail
session
was
a(n)
_____29_____
habit
from
when
she
was
new
to
the
job
and
eager
to
exceed
expectations.
But
now,
there
was
no
good
reason
those
e-mails
couldn’t
_____30_____
until
she
got
to
the
office
at
eight
a.
m.
Susan
decided
that
the
only
time
of
day
she
was
likely
to
have
the
mental
energy
to
pursue
her
own
goals
was
_____31_____
her
workday.
She
made
it
her
new
_____32_____
to
spend
the
first
hour
of
the
day
building
her
business,
not
_____33_____
everyone
else’s
needs.
This
was
a
smart
move
for
Susan.
It
also
_____34_____
an
important
willpower
rule:
if
you
never
seem
to
haw
the
time
and
energy
for
your
“I
will”
challenge,
schedule
it
for
when
you
have
the
most

Jenny
was
the
only
child
in
her
home.
She
had
a
quarrel
with
her
mother
that
afternoon
and
she
ran
out
of
the
house
angrily.
She
couldn’t
help
weeping
sorrowfully
when
she
thought
of
the
scolding
from
her
mother.
Having
wandered
aimlessly
in
the
street
for
hours,
she
felt
a
little
hungry
and
wished
for
something
to
eat,
but
it
was
not
possible
for
her,
since
she
had
nothing
with
her.
She
stood
beside
a
stand
for
a
while,
watching
the
middle-aged
seller
busy
doing
his
business.
However,
with
no
money
in
hand,
she
sighed
and
had
to
leave.
The
seller
behind
the
stand
noticed
the
young
girl
and
asked,
“Hey,
girl,
you
want
to
have
the
noodles?”
“Oh,
yes...but
I
don’t
have
money
on
me…”
she
replied.
“That’s
nothing.
I’ll
treat
you
today,”
said
the
man.
“Come
in.”
The
seller
brought
her
a
bowl
of
noodles,
whose
smell
was
so
attractive.
As
she
was
eating,
Jenny
cried
silently.
“What
is
it?”
asked
the
man
kindly.
“Nothing,
actually
I
was
just
touched
by
your
kindness!”
said
Jenny
as
she
wiped
her
tears.
“Even
a
stranger
on
the
street
will
give
me
a
bowl
of
noodles,
while
my
mother
drove
me
out
of
the
house.
She
showed
no
care
for
me.
She
is
so
merciless
compared
to
a
stranger!!”
Hearing
the
words,
the
seller
smiled,
“Girl,
do
you
really
think
so?
I
only
gave
you
a
bowl
of
noodles
and
you
thanked
me
a
lot.
But
it
is
your
mother
who
has
raised
you
since
you
were
a
baby.
Can
you
number
the
times
she
cooked
for
you?
Have
you
expressed
your
gratitude
to
her?”
Jenny
sat
there,
speechless
and
numb
with
shock;
she
remembered
mother’s
familiar
face
and
weathered
hands.
“Why
did
I
not
think
of
that?
A
bowl
of
noodles
from
a
stranger
made
me
feel
indebted,
but
I
have
never
thanked
my
mum
for
what
she
has
done
for
me.”
On
the
way
home,
Jenny
made
up
her
mind
to
make
an
apology
to
her
mother
for
her
rudeness
as
soon
as
she
arrived
home.

B
It
was
the
first
family
ski
weekend
in
Colorado.
I
was
tired
and
considered
quitting
it.
But
I
figured
I
should
push
through—if
I
skipped
out,
then
the
kids
would
think
that
they
could
too.
After
dropping
the
kids
at
ski
school,
my
husband
and
I
charted
our
course
on
the
mountain
map.
Then,
I
pushed
off
and
three
minutes
later,
my
right
ski
inverted
(倒转的)
and
took
my
leg
with
it...
I
still
remember
hearing
the
crack.
I
was
taken
down
the
mountain
in
an
ambulance.
After
surgery
I
woke
up
with
my
leg
bandaged
beyond
recognition,
my
mouth
dry
and
my
mind
confused.
I
wouldn’t
walk
for
three
months,
optimistically.
I
couldn’t
drive.
I
couldn’t
navigate
the
steps
in
our
house.
I
couldn’t
even
shower
on
my
own.
I
turned
to
Adam
and
asked,
“How
are
we
going
to
manage?”
“We’ll
figure
it
out,”
Adam
said.
I
nodded,
because
what
was
the
alternative?
But
nowhere
in
any
of
my
cells
did
I
believe
him.
Not
even
a
tiny
bit.
But
something
unexpected
happened:
my
children
learned
to
be
both
autonomous
and
empathetic.
They
ran
up
the
steps
each
day
after
school
to
check
on
me.
Without
the
luxury
of
my
packing
their
lunches
or
ensuring
that
their
homework
was
filed,
they
learned
to
do
it
themselves.
And
my
husband
too!
The
man
previously
had
to
be
told
what
to
do
and
when
to
do
it,
and
sometimes
why
too.
When
I
went
down
on
the
mountain,
he
attended
to
my
every
need,
as
he
said
to
me
once,
“After
all
the
years
that
you
did
so
much,
it
was
my
turn
to
show
up.”
Sometimes—many
times—both
in
life
and
in
marriage
you
hope
for
the
sunset
overlooking
the
ocean
off
a
deserted
beach,
but
what
you
get
is
a
drive
to
physical
therapy.
That’s
OK.
When
I
went
down
on
that
mountain,
I
worried
that
my
injury
would
upend
everything.
It
turns
out
that
it
did.
4.
What
can
be
inferred
about
the
mother
before
the
accident?
A.
She
enjoyed
herself
in
the
ski.
B.
She
was
desperate
for
a
change.
C.
She
was
the
only
breadwinner
of
the
family.
D.
She
committed
herself
to
taking
care
of
the
family.
5.
How
did
the
mother
initially
feel
after
the
surgery?
A.
Worried.
B.
Regretful.
C.
Relieved.
D.

6.

the
underlined

be
a
blessing
in
disguise
B.

helps
those
who
help
themselves
C.
He
who
makes
no
mistakes
makes
nothing
D.
The
one
who

must

A

B
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了以前总是在照顾家人的作者，一次意外中摔断了腿。一开始，作者很担心，根本不相信丈夫说能够解决，后来却发现孩子和丈夫都能把自己的生活料理得很好，丈夫也说现在该轮到自己来照顾妻子了。这让作者觉得“塞翁失马，焉知非福”。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Without
the
luxury
of
my
packing
their
lunches
or
ensuring
that
their
homework
was
filed,
they
learned
to
do
it
themselves.(没有了我为他们打包午餐或确保他们的作业已经放好，他们学会了自己做)”以及第四段中“The
man
previously
had
to
be
told
what
to
do
and
when
to
do
it,
and
sometimes
why
too.(以前，这个男人必须被告知做什么，什么时候做，有时还得告诉他为什么做)”由此可推知，意外发生前的母亲总是在尽心尽力地照顾家庭。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“I
turned
to
Adam
and
asked,
‘How
are
we
going
to
manage?’
‘We’ll
figure
it
out,’
Adam
said.
I
nodded,
because
what
was
the
alternative?
But
nowhere
in
any
of
my
cells
did
I
believe
him.
Not
even
a
tiny
bit.”可知我转向亚当，问他：“我们该怎么办呢？”亚当说：“我们会想办法的”。我点了点头，因为还有别的选择吗？但我心里根本不相信他。一点也不信。由此可知，手术后母亲最初的感觉是担心。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“But
something
unexpected
happened:
my
children
learned
to
be
both
autonomous
and
empathetic.(但意想不到的事情发生了：我的孩子们学会了自主和同理心)”以及第四段中“When
I
went
down
on
the
mountain,
he
attended
to
my
every
need,
as
he
said
to
me
once,
‘After
all
the
years
that
you
did
so
much,
it
was
my
turn
to
show
up.’(当我下山时，他满足了我的一切需要，就像他曾经对我说的那样:“这么多年来你为我做了那么多，现在该轮到我照顾你了。”)结合上文提到的作者身为母亲，以前总是尽心尽力照顾孩子和丈夫，而在作者摔断了腿之后，发现孩子们和丈夫都能把自己的事情处理得很好，说明了作者摔断腿并非是坏事，还换来了家人的成长，故从画线句子可推知，“塞翁失马，焉知非福”。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Sometimes—many
times—both
in
life
and
in
marriage,
you
hope
for
the
sunset
overlooking
the
ocean
off
a
deserted
beach,
but
what
you
get
is
a
drive
to
physical
therapy.
That’s
OK.
When
I
went
down
on
that
mountain,
I
worried
that
my
injury
would
upend
everything.
It
turns
out
that
it
did.(有时候——很多时候——无论是在生活中还是在婚姻中，你都希望在荒芜的海滩上看日落，但你得到的却是开车去接受物理治疗。没关系。当我下山的时候，我担心我的伤会把一切都打乱。事实证明确实被“打乱”了)。结合文章主要讲述了以前总是在照顾家人的作者，一次意外中摔断了腿。一开始，作者很担心，根本不相信丈夫说能够解决，后来却发现孩子和丈夫都能把自己的生活料理得很好，丈夫也说现在该轮到自己来照顾妻子了。这让作者觉得“塞翁失马，焉知非福”。由此可知，B选项“当妈妈摔断了腿”最符合文章标题。故选B。
C
Different
contexts
affect
food
production,
processing,
trade,
marketing
and
consumption.
As
a
result
of
this,
the
food
availability,
accessibility,
and
affordability—
as
well
as
consumers’
dietary
behaviour
and
nutritional
status—vary.
One
possible
picture
is
presented
here
to
provide
an
idea
on
how
COVID-19
might
impact
the
global
food
system.
Consumer
demand
plays
a
crucial
role
in
food
production
and
their
demands
depend
on
purchasing
power
and
preference.
Because
of
the
lockdown,
there
is
no
work
for
many
people.
As
a
result,
they
do
not
have
enough
money
to
buy
adequate
food
for
their
families.
The
closure
of
restaurants,
school
meals
and
tourism
businesses
may
reduce
the
demand
for
fresh
food.
People
buy
frozen.
dried
and
canned
food
with
longer
shelf
life.
Energy-dense,
less
nutritious
foods
are
often
more
affordable
than
fresh
and
nutritious
one.
According
to
the
Centers
for
Disease
Control
and
Prevention,
COVID-19
is
not
likely
to
be
transmitted
through
food.
However,
workers
can
get
infected
by
each
other
if
they
do
not
maintain
social
distance
properly.
Shortage
of
labor
can
not
only
hamper
food
production,
but
also
the
processing
of
food.
Around
the
world,
millions
of
people
depend
on
international
trade
either
for
then-
livelihood
or
food
security.
The
virus
outbreak
might
slow
down
global
trade
and
marketing
of
food.
As
a
result,
countries
depending
on
imported
food
can
face
difficulties.
The
closure
of
ports
and
other
supply
restrictions
will
hamper
food
supply.
The
price
of
transferring
food
within
and
outside
of
the
country
may
get
more
expensive.
It
means
import
may
get
more
expensive
and
export
may
bring

本文是说明文。不同的环境影响食品生产、加工、贸易、营销和消费。因此，食物的可获得性、可承受性以及消费者的膳食与营养状况不同。本文讲述了新冠病毒对食物体系的影响。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“One
possible
picture
is
presented
here
to
provide
an
idea
on
how
COVID-19
might
impact
the
global
food
system.”（这里提供一幅可能的图景，以说明新型冠状病毒可能如何影响全球粮食系统）可知，本文主要讲述了新冠病毒对食物体系有什么影响。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“People
buy
frozen,
dried
and
canned
food
with
longer
shelf
life.
Energy-dense,
less
nutritious
foods
are
often
more
affordable
than
fresh
and
nutritious
one.”（人们购买冷冻,保质期较长的干燥和罐装食品。高能量、低营养的食物往往比新鲜、有营养的食物更便宜
）可知，在新冠病毒爆发时，消费者的膳食与营养状况正在改变，人们会买更多缺少营养的食物。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However,
workers
can
get
infected
by
each
other
if
they
do
not
maintain
social
distance
properly.
Shortage
of
labor
can
not
only
hamper
food
production,
but
also
the
processing
of
food.”（但是，如果不适当地保持社会距离，员工之间也会感染。劳动力短缺不仅影响食品生产，还影响食品加工）可知，第三段和食物加工有关。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“On
the
other
hand,
the
restriction
in
transport
and
supply
can
be
the
cause
of
food
loss
particularly
for
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables.
”（另一方面，运输和供应方面的限制可能是粮食损失的原因，特别是新鲜水果和蔬菜）可知，有限的运输和供应造成新鲜食物的短缺。故选D。
【点睛】
D
Thirst
is
one
of
the
fundamental
urges
a
living
thing
can
have.
After
all,
water
is
the
solvent
that
we
rely
on
to
transport
essential
molecules
(分子)
around
our
bodies
to
keep
us
alive.
So
it
is
perhaps
a
bit
suspicious
that
water
doesn’t
seem
to
have
any
flavor.
Shouldn’t
we
have
evolved
a
taste
for
this
essential
substance?
Well,
perhaps
we
have.
Several
new
studies
seem
to
indicate
not
only
that
water
does,
in
fact,
have
a
taste,
but
that
we
might
have
taste
buds
(味蕾)
that
respond
directly
to
it.
We
now
know
that
there
are
at
least
five
basic
tastes:
salty,
sour,
sweet,
bitter
and
umami.
If
there
is
a
sixth
taste
for
water,
then
we
should
be
able
to
see
evidence
for
it
somewhere
in
the
mouth
or
tongue.
Yuki
Oka
and
his
colleagues
have
sought
to
solve
the
issue
once
and
for
all.
They
have
thought
up
an
experiment
that
seeks
to
identify
any
water
sensing
taste
receptor
cells
(TRCs)
on
the
tongues
of
lab
mice.
The
team
first
used
a
technique
known
as
genetic
knockout
to
silence
different
types
of
TRCs,
in
order
to
remove
the
possibility
that
those
cells
might
accidentally
discover
some
other
taste
within
the
water
besides
the
water
itself.
They
then
flushed
the
rodents’
mouths
with
water
to
see
if
any
cells
were
still
responding.
It
turned
out
that
the
acid-sensing
sour
TRCs
were
still
firing
vigorously
indicating
these
cells
might
have
a
double
purpose,
capable
of
distinguishing
water
or
acidic
fluids.
So
if
you
are
on
the
side
of
the
debate
that
argues
that
water
is
flavorless,
you
might
still
be
correct.
But
water
isn’t
senseless.
At
least
it
doesn’t
appear
that
way
according
to
this
research.
The
study
also
opens
up
the
possibility
that
our
tongues
and
taste
buds
might
be
doing
more
than
merely
providing
us
with
a
sense
of
taste.
If
this
study
doesn’t
prove
that
water
is
the
sixth
flavor,
it
might
nonetheless
be
the
first
evidence
of
a
whole
other
sense
entirely:
a
water
sense.

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们通常认为平时喝的水是没有味道的，但几项新的研究表明似乎水具有某种味道，至少是可以被人感觉到的。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段提出的问题“Shouldn’t
we
have
evolved
a
taste
for
this
essential
substance?
”
可知，难道我们不应该进化出对这种基本物质的品味吗？和由下一段“Well,
perhaps
we
have.
Several
new
studies
seem
to
indicate
not
only
that
water
does,
in
fact,
have
a
taste,
but
that
we
might
have
taste
buds
(味蕾)
that
respond
directly
to
it.
”可知，好吧，也许我们已经有了品味水的能力。几项新的研究似乎不仅表明水确实具有某种味道，而且我们还可能拥有对它做出直接反应的味蕾。下文对实验研究的内容进行了介绍，看得出第一段中提出这个问题的原因是为了引入文章的主题。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段的“
They
have
thought
up
an
experiment
that
seeks
to
identify
any
water
sensing
taste
receptor
cells
(TRCs)
on
the
tongues
of
lab
mice.”可知，他们想出了一个实验，旨在鉴定实验室小鼠舌头上的味蕾。根据第四段的“The

silence
different
types
of

the
water
itself.
They
then
flushed
the
rodents’
mouths
with
water
to
see
if
any
cells
were
still

【15题详解】

then
no—I
have
two
left
feet
and
taking
to
the
dance
floor
just
fills

with
dread.
But
of
course,
we

These
professional
dancers
have
spent
years
learning
and
performing
ballroom
dances
such
as
the
waltz,
foxtrot
and
tango.
____17____
According
to
a
survey,
over
three
quarters
of
British
men
have
never
or
rarely
danced.
It
found
that
over
a
third
of
men
surveyed
wouldn’t
show
off
their
skills
on
the
dance
floor
because
they
were
too
embarrassed.
And
ten
percent
said
what
put
them
off
was
fear
of
being
the
center
of
attention,
being
made
fun
of,
or
being
judged.
Women
may
say
we
have
to
relax,
get
on

is
a
crowded
dance
floor
where
there
is
safety
in
numbers.
And
according
to
the
survey,
_____19_____
One
man
questioned
said,
“I
don’t
think
I’m
very
good
at
it
and
therefore
need
some
Dutch
courage
to
get
me
on
the
floor.”
____20____
We
need
training,
we
need
to
practice
and
we
need
to
lose
our
inhibitions.
Gareth
Dew,
who
took
part
in
the
survey,
says,
“I
think
to
be
able
to
dance
you
need
to
be
able
to
let
loose,
be
aware
of
your
body
and
generally
be
more
comfortable
in
yourself.”
Would
you
agree?
A.
as
long
as
we
are
smart
enough.
B.
men
always
need
a
great
dancing
partner.
C.
so
what
is
it
that’s
stopping
us?
D.
many
men
need
a
drink.
E.
But
for
a
majority
of
us
men,
we
are
not
willing
to
participate.
F.
Easier
said

男人能跳舞吗？好吧，如果我是一个例子，那就不能——我笨手笨脚，跳起舞来让我充满恐惧。但当然，我们知道我们大多数人都有潜力做出一些舞蹈动作)”可知，上文提到大多数人有做一些舞蹈动作的潜力，故本句承接上文提出疑问是什么阻止了男人跳舞，故C选项“那么是什么阻止了我们？”符合语境，故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上一段“If
you’ve
ever

you’ll
know
that

are
men
who

【18题详解】
根据上文“Women
may
say
we
have
to
relax,
get
on
our
feet
and
just
let
ourselves
go!(女人可能会说我们必须放松，站起来，释放自我！)”以及后文“But
what
helps
is
a
crowded
dance
floor
where
there
is
safety
in
numbers.(但有帮助的是一个拥挤的舞池，在那里人多安全)”可知，上文提到女人说男人应该释放自我，去跳舞，后文则提到男人要借助拥挤的舞池来获得安全感，说明男人要跳舞这件事，说起来容易做起来却难。故F选项“说起来容易做起来难”符合语境，故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文“And
according
to
the
survey
(根据调查)”以及后文“One
man
questioned
said,
‘I
don’t
think
I’m
very
good
at
it
and
therefore
need
some
Dutch
courage
to
get
me
on
the
floor.’(一名受访男性说：“我不认为我很擅长这个，因此需要一些勇气来让我上场。”)”可知，本句是在说明调查内容，指出男人跳舞需要一些东西来给自己提供勇气，故D选项“许多男人需要喝点东西”符合语境，故选D。
【20题详解】
根据后文“We
need
training,
we
need
to
practice
and
we
need
to
lose
our
inhibitions.(我们需要训练，我们需要练习，我们需要摆脱束缚)”可知，后文列举了男人跳舞需要的各种帮助，后文中we
need可对应到G选项中men
just
need。故G选项“所以让我们面对现实吧，男人只是需要帮助”符合语境，故选G。

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。介绍了说话时语言的功能以及重要性。
【36题详解】
考查状语从句省略。句意：如果代词“他”而不是“她”使用太频繁，会把一个女孩从科学或数学中吓跑。此句完整表达是if
the
pronoun
is
used
often
enough，在条件状语从句中，主句主语和从句主语一致，且从句谓语动词含有be动词，则可把从句中主语和be动词省略，就是if
used，故填used。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：你使用的语言决定了你大脑中灰质的密度。根据上下文语境，此空用一般现在时态，主语是the
words，故填determine。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意：他们影响你的政治观点，影响你看待现实的方式，决定你自信的程度，因此也定义了做你自己的含义。此空放在名词
ideas前，应该用形容词作定语，故填political。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意：参见上题。此句中，出现了affect，influence，decide，define
四个谓语动词，且前三个动词和空格动词是递进关系，故填and。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：虽然你的言语在塑造你的行为上很重要，他们在塑造别人行为方面更重要。介词in指的是“在......方面”，根据句意，故填in。
【41题详解】
考查比较级。句意：参见上题。空格前有even修饰，even常修饰比较级并且根据句意含有和上句“塑造自己行为”比较的含义，此空用比较级，故填more
important。
【42题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：参见第5题。此处特指“别人的行为”，所以在名词前用定冠词，故填the。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：别的不说，你说话的方式是别人对你作出判断的主要依据。先行词是the
central
factor，代指物，定语从句用介词upon加关系代词引导，所以用upon
which，故填which。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：如果你追求伟大的成就，说话得体是基本的。此空用名词形式做主语，故填greatness。
45题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：从荷马到海明威，林肯，丘吉尔，马丁·路德·金以及奥巴马，他们语言就是你们知道他们的方式/他们的语言就是你知道他们的原因。空格引导表语从句，从句中不缺成分，应该用连接副词或连接词，再根据句意，可以表示原因，也可以表示方式，故填why/how。

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Jenny
was
the
only
child
in
her
home.
She
had
a
quarrel
with
her
mother
that
afternoon
and
she
ran
out
of
the
house
angrily.
She
couldn’t
help
weeping
sorrowfully
when
she
thought
of
the
scolding
from
her
mother.
Having
wandered
aimlessly
in
the
street
for
hours
she
felt
a
little
hungry
and
wished
for
something
to
eat,
but
it
was
not
possible
for
her,
since
she
had
nothing
with
her.
She
stood
beside
a
stand
for
a
while,
watching
the
middle-aged
seller
busy
doing
his
business.
However,
with
no
money
in
hand,
she
sighed
and
had
to
leave.
The
seller
behind
the
stand
noticed
the
young
girl
and
asked,
“Hey,
girl,
you
want
to
have
the
noodles?”
“Oh,
yes...but
I
don’t
have
money
on
me…”
she
replied.
“That’s
nothing.
I’ll
treat
you
today,”
said
the
man.
“Come
in.”
The
seller
brought
her
a
bowl
of
noodles,
whose
smell
was
so
attractive.
As
she
was
eating,
Jenny
cried
silently.
“What
is
it?”
asked
the
man
kindly.
“Nothing,
actually
I
was
just
touched
by
your
kindness!”
said
Jenny
as
she
wiped
her
tears.
“Even
a
stranger
on
the
street
will
give
me
a
bowl
of
noodles,
while
my
mother
drove
me
out
of
the
house.
She
showed
no
care
for
me.
She
is
so
merciless
compared
to
a
stranger!!”
Hearing
the
words,
the
seller
smiled,
“Girl,
do
you
really
think
so?
I
only
gave
you
a
bowl
of
noodles
and
you
thanked
me
a
lot.
But
it
is
your
mother
who
has
raised
you
since
you
were
a
baby.
Can
you
number
the
times
she
cooked
for
you?
Have
you
expressed
your
gratitude
to
her?”
Jenny
sat
there,
speechless
and
numb
with
shock;
she
remembered
mother’s
familiar
face
and
weathered
hands.
“Why
did
I
not
think
of
that?
A
bowl
of
noodles
from
a
stranger
made
me
feel
indebted,
but
I
have
never
thanked
my
mum
for
what
she
has
done
for
me.”
On
the
way
home,
Jenny
made
up
her
mind
to
make
an
apology
to
her
mother
for
her
rudeness
as
soon
as
she
arrived
home.
注意:
1）所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2）续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好.

【答案】Paragraph
1:
Approaching
the
doorway,
Jenny
took
a
deep
breath.
When
she
knocked
at
the
door,
she
found
the
door
was
locked
and
her
mother
was
not
in.
Tired
and
sad,
she
sat
down
in
front
of
the
house.
"Where
could
my
mother
be?"
she
wondered,
"was
she
still
angry
with
me?"
Again,
the
scene
of
the
quarrel
appeared
in
her
mind.
She
remembered
her
rudeness
to
her
mother.
Realizing
that
all
the
scolding
from
her
mother
was
due
to
the
fact
that
her
mother
really
cared
a
lot
about
her,
she
felt
rather
ashamed,
and
tears
began
to
roll
down
her
cheeks.
Paragraph
2:
A
gentle
touch
on
her
hair
called
her
mind
back.
She
raised
her
head
and
saw
the
familiar
face
of
her
mother.
"Here
you
come!
I've
been
looking
for
you,"
she
said,
tired
and
relieved.
Jenny
couldn't
help
throwing
herself
into
her
mother's
arms.
"Mum,
I'm
so
sorry
and
thank
you
for
all
you
have
done
for
me."
She
expressed
her
sincere
apology
and
great
gratitude.
Hearing
this,
her
mother
smiled
patting
her
back
gently.

【详解】本文是一篇读后续写。读后续写一般要求学生阅读一篇记叙文，然后发挥想象，运用自己所学的英语知识去续写一篇中心思想跟全文一致、合乎情理的记叙文。本文的中心思想是：詹妮是家里的独子，与妈妈争吵后离家出走，在街上闲逛后，她饿了想吃东西，但是没有钱，店主给了她一碗面，她非常感激，店主说她更应该感谢她的妈妈，最终詹妮回家向妈妈表示了歉意。考生在写作的过程中要注意：要根据所给开头句子写出合理的内容。本文要使用一般过去时。写作时注意准确地运用时态，使上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。特别注意在选择句式时要赋予变化。
【点睛】本篇作文要点齐全，结构完整，条理清晰，应用了较多的语法结构和词汇，
Tired
