二、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
请认真阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Spreading
truth
and
knowledge
If
you
have
ever
talked
to
doctors
in
the
hospitals,
you
may
find
that
many
of
them
are
quite
serious
and
speak
in
a
range
of
terms
that
may
be
difficult
to
understand.
But
Zhang
Wenhong,
the
leader
of
the
Shanghai
team
of
experts
in
the
treatment
of
novel
coronavirus
pneumonia,
is
one
of
the
exceptions.
He
caught
the
public's
attention
for
his
recent
frank
and
funny
speech.
Zhang's
words
first
went
viral
(走红)
on
the
internet
after
he
said
in
late
January
that
he
had
dispatched
(派遣)
doctors
and
nurses
who
are
members
of
the
Communist
Party
of
China
(CPC)
to
frontline
hospitals
to
treat
coronavirus
cases.
“When
becoming
CPC
members,
we
vowed
(发誓)
that
we
would
always
prioritize
people's
interests.
.
.
in
the
face
of
difficulties,”
Zhang
said.
“This
is
the
moment
we
live
up
to
the
pledge
(誓言).
All
CPC
members
must
rush
to
the
frontline.
No
bargaining.”
Such
a
hardcore
declaration
of
his
attitude
won
widespread
applause
among
internet
users.
A
person's
morals
are
witnessed
most
in
a
critical
situation.
Nothing
could
win
more
recognition
from
the
people
than
the
down-to-earth
behavior
of
the
CPC
members,”
said
Yang
Haiyan,
a
32-year-old
Shanghai
resident.
One
month
later,
when
Zhang
advised
local
residents
to
reduce
the
risk
of
spreading
the
virus
by
staying
at
home,
he
said
in
Shanghai
dialect:
“If
you
don't
stop
seeing
friends,
you
will
see
them
again
in
the
ICU.”
Though
chased
by
the
media,
Zhang
described
himself
as
a
medical
worker
who
must
speak
out
now,
but
will
return
to
keeping
a
low
profile
after
the
outbreak
ends.
“I
spoke
because
of
the
fear
among
the
public,
owing
to
limited
knowledge
of
the
contagion
(传染病),”
said
Zhang
on
Feb
26.
“However,
once
the
curtain
of
this
coronavirus
incident
falls,
it
may
be
hard
to
find
me.
I'll
just
hide
myself
in
a
corner,
studying
complicated
patient
cases
and
doing
some
reading,
silently.
”
1.
What
has
made
Zhang
Wenhong
so
popular
online?
A.
The
way
he
treats
his
patients.
B.
His
honest
and
humorous
speech.
C.
His
pledge
to
fight
against
the
virus.
D.
His
broad
knowledge
of
the
novel
coronavirus.
2.
He
dispatched
CPC
members
to
frontline
hospitals
because
he
believed
that
.
A.
they
would
bargain
less
B.
they
are
more
professional
C.
they
should
take
the
lead
as
they
had
vowed
D.
they
would
be
calmer
in
a
critical
situation
3.
What
can
we
conclude
from
Zhang
Wenhong's
words
in
the
last
two
paragraphs?
A.
He
doesn't
like
to
speak
in
public.
B.
He
mainly
treats
people
with
complicated
diseases.
C.
He
is
not
a
person
who
is
after
fame
and
attention.
D.
He
is
looking
forward
to
taking
a
break
after
the
epidemic.
B
E-cigarettes
lead
to
as
many
lung
diseases
as
tobacco
products,
a
new
study
has
found.
The
report
from
the
University
of
North
Carolina
at
Chapel
Hill
compared
saliva(唾液)
samples
from
tobacco
smokers,
e-cigarette
smokers
and
nonsmokers.
Researchers
found
that
e-cigarette
smokers
were
likely
to
develop
dangerous
proteins
associated
with
lung
diseases.
The
study
adds
to
a
growing
body
of
evidence
proving
that
e-cigarettes
might
not
be
the
perfect
alternative
smokers
addicted
to
tobacco
are
looking
for.
Last
year
a
Surgeon
General’s
report
claimed
that
the
use
of
e-cigarettes
among
a
certain
group
of
people
jumped
900
percent
from
2011to
2015
and
more
studies
were
carried
out
to
research
their
side
effects.
That
same
year,
the
FDA
put
e-cigarettes
in
the
tobacco
products
the
administration
monitors.
Previous
research
from
UCLA
has
proven
that
e-cigarettes
can
cause
lifelong
damage
to
one’s
heart,
and
that
one
puff
(吸一口烟)
of
an
e-cigarette
is
all
it
takes
to
increase
one’s
risk
of
having
a
heart
attack.
For
the
new
study
UNC
researchers
observed
15
e-cigarette
users,
14
cigarette
smokers
and
15
nonsmokers.
The
study
revealed
that
e-cigarette
smokers
have
raised
levels
of
NET-related
proteins
in
their
airways,
the
increased
levels
of
which
can
lead
to
lung
illnesses,
making
it
difficult
for
patients
to
breathe.
Study
author
Dr
Mehmet
Keismer
said,
“There
is
confusion
about
whether
e-cigarettes
are
‘safer’
than
cigarettes
because
the
potential
adverse
effects
of
e-cigarettes
are
only
beginning
to
be
studied.
Our
results
suggest
that
e-cigarettes
might
be
just
as
bad
as
cigarettes.
”
Dr
Keismer
also
stressed
that
e-cigarettes
come
with
their
own
harmful
risks
along
with
those
linked
to
tobacco,
which
challenges
the
concept
that
switching
from
cigarettes
to
e-cigarettes
is
a
healthier
alternative.
A
citizen
named
Dyclna
said,
“The
e-cigarettes
probably
make
you
cough
less,
but
nobody
gives
a
warning
about
your
lungs.
For
producers,
it’s
just
a
money
thing
—
it’s
just
about
getting
profits
from
it.
The
problem
is
that
our
government
just
stands
there
with
its
hands
behind
the
back.
”
4.
Why
did
the
FDA
list
e-cigarettes
into
monitored
products?
A.
It
might
have
realized
the
harm
of
them.
B.
It
wanted
to
improve
their
quality.
C.
It
aimed
to
reduce
their
illegal
sales.
D.
It
might
be
warned
by
the
government.
5.
What
does
Dyclna
mainly
want
to
express?
A.
E-cigarettes
are
safer
than
regular
ones.
B.
E-cigarettes
can
only
benefit
few
people.
C.
Producers
make
a
high
profit
from
e-cigarettes.
D.
Governments
are
to
blame
for
e-cigarettes’
consumption.
6.
What
is
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A.
E-cigarettes:
A
new
way
of
smoking.
B.
E-cigarettes:
A
better
way
than
tobacco?
C.
E-cigarettes:
The
harmful
proteins
it
produces.
D.
E-cigarettes:
The
urgent
need
of
government
control.

UN
Humanitarian
Chief
Mark
Lowcock
today
released
US$15
million
from
the
Central
Emergency
Response
Fund
(CERF)
to
help
fund
global
efforts
to
contain
the
COVID-19
virus.
The
announcement
came
as
the
World
Health
Organization
(WHO)
upgraded
the
global
risk
of
the
coronavirus
outbreak
to
“very
high”
–
its
top
level
of
risk
assessment.
The
WHO
has
said
there
is
still
a
chance
of
containing
the
virus
if
its
chain
of
transmission
is
broken.
The
UN
funding
has
been
released
to
the
WHO
and
the
United
Nations
Children’s
Fund
(UNICEF).
It
will
fund
essential
activities
including
being
aware
of
the
spread
of
the
virus,
investigating
cases,
and
putting
national
laboratories
into
use.
The
WHO
has
called
for
US$675
million
to
fund
the
fight
against
coronavirus.
There
is
a
window
of
opportunity
to
contain
the
spread
of
the
virus
if
countries
take
strong
measures
to
detect
cases
early
isolate
and
care
for
patients,
and
trace
contacts.
Emergency
Relief
Coordinator
and
Under-Secretary-General
for
Humanitarian
Affairs,
Mark
Lowcock
said,
“We
do
not
yet
see
evidence
that
the
virus
is
spreading
freely.
As
long
as
that’s
the
case,
we
still
have
a
chance
of
containing
it,
by
strengthening
surveillance,
conducting
thorough
outbreak
investigations
to
identify
contacts
and
applying
appropriate
measures
to
prevent
further
spread.”
“This
announcement
from
the
UN’s
Emergency
Fund
will
help
countries
with
fragile
health
systems
improve
their
detection
and
response
operations.
It
has
the
potential
to
save
the
lives
of
millions
of
vulnerable
people.”
Tedros
Adhanom
Ghebreyesus,
WHO
Director-General,
said,“The
potential
spread
of
the
virus
to
countries
with
weaker
health
systems
is
one
of
our
biggest
concerns.
These
funds
will
help
support
these
countries
get
ready
for
detecting
and
isolating
cases,
protecting
their
health
workers,
and
treating
patients
with
dignity
and
appropriate
care.
This
will
help
us
save
lives
and
push
back
the
virus.”
“At
this
critical
moment,
every
effort
must
be
made
to
push
back
against
the
outbreak,”
said
UNICEF
Executive
Director
Henrietta
Fore.
“These
funds
will
support
our
global
efforts
to
promote
weaker
health
systems
and
inform
children,
pregnant
women
and
families
about
how
to
protect
themselves.”

Why
Is
2020
Called
a
Leap
Year?
February
29
comes
up
on
the
calendar
only
every
four
years.
A
year
with
a
February
29
might
be
good
news
if
you
are
paid
by
the
day
or
the
week.
But
it
might
be
bad
news
if
you
were
born
on
a
February
29.____11____.
American
English
has
a
term
for
the
unusual
situation.
February
29
is
called
a
leap
day.
And
the
entire
12-month
period
with
a
February
29
in
it
is
called
a
leap
year.
This
year,
2020,
is
such
a
year.
In
a
leap
year,
the
dates
jump
over
one
day
of
the
week.
Let
me
explain.
In
2017,
the
last
day
of
the
year,
December
31,
fell
on
a
Sunday.
In
2018,
it
fell
on
a
Monday.
In
2019,
it
fell
on
a
Tuesday.
But
in
2020,
December
31
will
fall
on
a
Thursday.___12___.
The
reason
for
a
leap
day
or
a
leap
year
is
because
our
calendar
does
not
follow
the
Earth’s
orbit
around
the
sun
exactly.___13___.
So
every
four
years,
we
put
all
that
time
together
into
an
extra
day
—
or,
what
is
officially
called
an
intercalary(闰)
day.
“Leap”
is
also
an
important
word
for
two
other
common
American
expressions.___14___.
If
you
want
someone
to
investigate
a
situation
completely
before
taking
action,
you
might
say,
“Look
before
you
leap.”
The
other
expression
is
a
phrase
of
hope.
Urging
someone
to
“take
a
leap
of
faith”
means
inviting
the
person
to
take
action,
even
if
not
everything
about
a
situation
is
known.
Interestingly,
both
phrases
are
completely
reasonable
to
say
to
someone
who
is
about
to
get
married.
On
that
note,
some
people
choose
to
marry
on
February
29
because
it
is
an
unusual
date.___15___.
Leap
years
were
believed
to
be
difficult,
and
leap
days
unlucky
and
a
bad
time
to
begin
anything
new.
Whatever
you
think
about
them,
the
change
in
the
calendar
will
be
gone
soon
enough.
Then
we
can
return
to
normal,
and
leap
over
February
29
as
usual.
A.
One
is
a
kind
of
warning.
B
That’s
why
we
called
it
a
Leap
Year
C.
It
just
leaped
right
over
Wednesday.
D.
Each
year,
we
have
a
little
time
left
over.
E.
You
have
to
wait
three
years
in
between
birthdays!
F.
As
a
verb,
the
word
“leap”
means
to
jump,
or
to
move
quickly.
G.
Some
ancient
peoples
would
likely
tell
couples
not
to
do
it,
however.

A
new
study
warns
that
about
thirty
percent
of
the
world’s
people
may
not
have
enough
water
by
the
year
2025.
A
private
American
organization
called
Population
Action
International
(PAI)
did
the
new
study.
It
says
more
than
335
million
people
lack
enough
water
now.
The
people
live
in
28
countries.
Most
of
the
countries
are
in
Africa
or
the
Middle
East.
PAI
researcher
Robert
Engelman
says
by
the
year
2025,
about
3,000
million
people
may
lack
water.
At
least
18
more
countries
are
expected
to
have
severe
water
problems.
The
demand
for
water
keeps
increasing.
Yet
the
amount
of
water
on
the
Earth
stays
the
same.
Mr
Engelman
says
the
population
in
countries
that
lack
water
is
growing
faster
than
in
other
parts
of
the
world.
He
says
population
growth
in
these
countries
will
continue
to
increase.
The
report
says
lack
of
water
in
the
future
may
result
in
several
problems.
It
may
increase
health
problems.
Lack
of
water
often
means
drinking
water
is
not
safe.
Mr
Engelman
says
there
are
problems
all
over
the
world
because
of
diseases,
such
as
cholera
which
are
carried
in
water.
Lack
of
water
may
also
result
in
more
international
conflict.
Countries
may
have
to
compete
for
water
in
the
future.
Some
countries
now
get
sixty
percent
of
their
fresh
water
from
other
countries.
And
the
report
says
lack
of
water
would
affect
the
ability
to
improve
their
economies.
This
is
because
new
industries
often
need
large
amounts
of
water
when
they
are
beginning.
The
Population
Action
International
study
gives
several
solutions
to
the
water
problem.
One
way,
it
says,
is
to
find
ways
to
use
water
for
more
than
one
purpose.
Another
way
is
to
teach
people
to
be
careful
not
to
waste
water.
A
third
way
is
to
use
less
water
for
agriculture.
The
report
also
says
long-term
solutions
to
the
water
problem
must
include
controls
on
population
growth.大桥高级中学2019-2020学年度第二学期英语期中试卷

二、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
请认真阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Spreading
truth
and
knowledge
If
you
have
ever
talked
to
doctors
in
the
hospitals,
you
may
find
that
many
of
them
are
quite
serious
and
speak
in
a
range
of
terms
that
may
be
difficult
to
understand.
But
Zhang
Wenhong,
the
leader
of
the
Shanghai
team
of
experts
in
the
treatment
of
novel
coronavirus
pneumonia,
is
one
of
the
exceptions.
He
caught
the
public's
attention
for
his
recent
frank
and
funny
speech.
Zhang's
words
first
went
viral
(走红)
on
the
internet
after
he
said
in
late
January
that
he
had
dispatched
(派遣)
doctors
and
nurses
who
are
members
of
the
Communist
Party
of
China
(CPC)
to
frontline
hospitals
to
treat
coronavirus
cases
“When
becoming
CPC
members,
we
vowed
(发誓)
that
we
would
always
prioritize
people's
interests.
.
.
in
the
face
of
difficulties,”
Zhang
said.
“This
is
the
moment
we
live
up
to
the
pledge
(誓言).
All
CPC
members
must
rush
to
the
frontline.
No
bargaining.”
Such
a
hardcore
declaration
of
his
attitude
won
widespread
applause
among
internet
users.
A
person's
morals
are
witnessed
most
in
a
critical
situation.
Nothing
could
win
more
recognition
from
the
people
than
the
down-to-earth
behavior
of
the
CPC
members,”
said
Yang
Haiyan,
a
32-year-old
Shanghai
resident.
One
month
later,
when
Zhang
advised
local
residents
to
reduce
the
risk
of
spreading
the
virus
by
staying
at
home,
he
said
in
Shanghai
dialect:
“If
you
don't
stop
seeing
friends,
you
will
see
them
again
in
the
ICU.”
Though
chased
by
the
media,
Zhang
described
himself
as
a
medical
worker
who
must
speak
out
now,
but
will
return
to
keeping
a
low
profile
after
the
outbreak
ends.
“I
spoke
because
of
the
fear
among
the
public,
owing
to
limited
knowledge
of
the
contagion
(传染病),”
said
Zhang
on
Feb
26.
“However,
once
the
curtain
of
this
coronavirus
incident
falls,
it
may
be
hard
to
find
me.
I'll
just
hide
myself
in
a
corner,
studying
complicated
patient
cases
and
doing
some
reading,
silently.
”

Wenhong
so
popular

way
he
treats
his
patients.

His
honest
and
humorous
speech.

His

dispatched

would
bargain

professional
C.
they
should
take
the
lead
as
they
had
vowed
D.
they
would
be

in
a
critical
situation
3.
What
can
we
conclude
from
Zhang
Wenhong's
words
in
the
last
two
paragraphs?
A.
He
doesn't
like
to
speak
in
public.
B.
He
mainly
treats
people
with
complicated
diseases.
C.
He
is
not
a
person
who
is
after
fame
and
attention.
D.
He
is
looking
forward
to
taking
a
break
after
the
epidemic.

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了上海新型冠状病毒肺炎治疗专家组组长张文宏因其讲话在网上走红的相关事情和张文宏对他走红事件的观点。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段最后一句“He
caught
the
public's
attention
for
his
recent
frank
and
funny
speech.”（他因最近坦率而有趣的演讲而引起了公众的注意。），可知张文宏诚实幽默的演讲让他网上受欢迎。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的““When
becoming
CPC
members,
we
vowed
(发誓)
that
we
would
always
prioritize
people's
interests.
.
.
in
the
face
of
difficulties,”
Zhang
said.
“This
is
the
moment
we
live
up
to
the

(誓言).
All
CPC
members

rush
to
the

No
bargaining.””（“当我们成为中国共产党党员时，我们发誓要永远把人民的利益放在首位。在困难面前，”
张文宏说。“这是我们履行诺言的时刻。全党同志都要冲到第一线去，不能讨价还价），可知张文宏认为党员应该像誓言的那样带头。故选C项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。由倒数第二段的“Though
chased
by
the
media,
Zhang
described
himself
as
a
medical
worker
who
must
speak
out
now,
but
will
return
to
keeping
a
low
profile
after
the
outbreak
ends.
”（虽然受到媒体的追捧，但张文宏称自己是一名医务人员，现在必须发声，但在疫情结束后将恢复低调。）和最后一段中的“
“However,
once
the
curtain
of
this
coronavirus
incident
falls,
it
may
be
hard
to
find
me.
I'll
just
hide
myself
in
a
corner,
studying
complicated
patient
cases
and
doing
some
reading,
silently.
””（“然而，一旦这次冠状病毒事件的帷幕落下，可能很难找到我。我就躲在角落里，静静地研究复杂的病人病例，读点书。”），可推断出张文宏不是一个追求名望和关注的人。故选C项。
【点睛】推理判断题不仅要求考生读懂文章中的每个句子的意思还要推理它们之间的关系，结合自己的生活常识和经验，再通过逻辑推理和判断，理解文章的言外之意，从而揭示文章的深层涵义。推理判断题的答案不可能在文章中直接找到，因此推理时我们务必要忠于原文，在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据，即：已知部分——推论的前提，从中推测出未知部分——推理的结论，切忌妄加评论，把自己的观点当成作者的观点。如在第3小题中，倒数第二段的“Though
chased
by
the
media,
Zhang
described
himself
as
a
medical
worker
who
must
speak
out
now,
but
will

”，最后一段中的“
“However,
once
the

falls,
it
may
be

to
find
me.
I'll
just
hide
myself
in
a
corner,
studying
complicated
patient

””，它们是已知部分，通过结合原文进行合理地逻辑判断，可推断出张文宏不是一个追求名望和关注的人。故选C项。
B
E-cigarettes
lead
to
as
many
lung
diseases
as
tobacco
products,
a
new
study
has
found.
The
report
from
the
University
of
North
Carolina
at
Chapel
Hill
compared
saliva(唾液)
samples
from
tobacco
smokers,
e-cigarette
smokers
and
nonsmokers.
Researchers
found
that
e-cigarette
smokers
were
likely
to
develop
dangerous
proteins
associated
with
lung
diseases.
The
study
adds
to
a
growing
body
of
evidence
proving
that
e-cigarettes
might
not
be
the
perfect
alternative
smokers
addicted
to
tobacco
are
looking
for.
Last
year
a
Surgeon
General’s
report
claimed
that
the
use
of
e-cigarettes
among
a
certain
group
of
people
jumped
900
percent
from
2011to
2015
and
more
studies
were
carried
out
to
research
their
side
effects.
That
same
year,
the
FDA
put
e-cigarettes
in
the
tobacco
products
the
administration
monitors.
Previous
research
from
UCLA
has
proven
that
e-cigarettes
can
cause
lifelong
damage
to
one’s
heart,
and
that
one
puff
(吸一口烟)
of
an
e-cigarette
is
all
it
takes
to
increase
one’s
risk
of
having
a
heart
attack.
For
the
new
study
UNC
researchers
observed
15
e-cigarette
users,
14
cigarette
smokers
and
15
nonsmokers.
The
study
revealed
that
e-cigarette
smokers
have
raised
levels
of
NET-related
proteins
in
their
airways,
the
increased
levels
of
which
can
lead
to
lung
illnesses,
making
it
difficult
for
patients
to
breathe.
Study
author
Dr
Mehmet
Keismer
said,
“There
is
confusion
about
whether
e-cigarettes
are
‘safer’
than
cigarettes
because
the
potential
adverse
effects
of
e-cigarettes
are
only
beginning
to
be
studied.
Our
results
suggest
that
e-cigarettes
might
be
just
as
bad
as
cigarettes.
”
Dr
Keismer
also
stressed
that
e-cigarettes
come
with
their
own
harmful
risks
along
with
those
linked
to
tobacco,
which
challenges
the
concept
that
switching
from
cigarettes
to
e-cigarettes
is
a
healthier
alternative.
A
citizen
named
Dyclna
said,
“The
e-cigarettes
probably
make
you
cough
less,
but
nobody
gives
a
warning
about
your
lungs.
For
producers,
it’s
just
a
money
thing
—
it’s
just
about
getting
profits
from
it.
The
problem
is
that
our
government
just
stands
there
with
its
hands
behind
the
back.
”
4.
Why
did
the
FDA
list
e-cigarettes
into
monitored
products?
A.
It
might
have
realized
the
harm
of
them.
B.
It
wanted
to
improve
their
quality.
C.
It
aimed
to
reduce
their
illegal
sales.
D.
It
might
be
warned
by
the
government.
5.
What
does
Dyclna
mainly
want
to
express?
A.
E-cigarettes
are
safer
than
regular
ones.
B.
E-cigarettes
can
only
benefit
few
people.
C.
Producers
make
a
high
profit
from
e-cigarettes.
D.
Governments
are
to
blame
for
e-cigarettes’
consumption.
6.
What
is
the
best
title
for

text?
A.
E-cigarettes:
A
new
way
of

B.
E-cigarettes:
A
better
way
than
tobacco?
C.
E-cigarettes:
The
harmful

D.
E-cigarettes:
The
urgent

control.
【答案】4.
A
5.
D
6.
B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了很多人认为电子烟对身体无害，但是相关研究已经表明电子烟其实也会给人带来危害，而且其危害未必就小于传统香烟。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“Last
year
a
Surgeon
General’s
report
claimed
that
the
use
of
e-cigarettes
among
a
certain
group
of
people
jumped
900
percent
from
2011to
2015
and
more
studies
were
carried
out
to
research
their
side
effects.”可知，从2011年到2015年，某一特定群体中使用电子烟的人数增长了900%，并且有更多的对其副作用的研究。由此可推知，应是“使电子烟人数的增加”和“电子烟有副作用”这些事实和研究使食品药品监管局意识到了电子烟的危害而将其列入监控产品。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容Dyclna所说的话“The
problem
is
that
our
government
just
stands
there
with
its
hands
behind
the
back.”可知，在他看来，政府对于电子烟的使用只是袖手旁观。由此推知，政府不应当袖手旁观，应当为电子烟的使用负责。故选D项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章体裁为新闻报道，首段点明文章主旨要义：The
study
adds

a
growing
body
of
evidence
proving
that
e-cigarettes
might
not
be
the
perfect
alternative
smokers

A
better
way
than
tobacco?”贴合主旨。故选B项。
【点睛】抓住主题句解决标题题
阅读理解文章多是议论文和说明文，这两种文体的结构可归纳为：提出问题——论述问题——得出结论或者阐明观点。对于这类文章，抓主题句是快速掌握文章大意的主要方法。主题句一般出现在文章的开头或结尾。主题句具有简洁性、概括性的特点。比如文章的第3小题：
3.

C.
E-cigarettes:
The
harmful

a
growing
body
of
evidence
proving
that
e-cigarettes

A
better
way
than
tobacco?”用疑问的方式作为标题，提出了“质疑”，且包含文章核心词汇“e-cigarette”，与该主题句相呼应。故选B项为答案。
C
UN
Humanitarian
Chief
Mark
Lowcock
today
released
US$15
million
from
the
Central
Emergency
Response
Fund
(CERF)
to
help
fund
global
efforts
to
contain
the
COVID-19
virus.
The
announcement
came
as
the
World
Health
Organization
(WHO)
upgraded
the
global
risk
of
the
coronavirus
outbreak
to
“very
high”
–
its
top
level
of
risk
assessment.
The
WHO
has
said
there
is
still
a
chance
of
containing
the
virus
if
its
chain
of
transmission
is
broken.
The
UN
funding
has
been
released
to
the
WHO
and
the
United
Nations
Children’s
Fund
(UNICEF).
It
will
fund
essential
activities
including
being
aware
of
the
spread
of
the
virus,
investigating
cases,
and
putting
national
laboratories
into
use.
The
WHO
has
called
for
US$675
million
to
fund
the
fight
against
coronavirus.
There
is
a
window
of
opportunity
to
contain
the
spread
of
the
virus
if
countries
take
strong
measures
to
detect
cases
early,
isolate
and
care
for
patients,
and
trace
contacts.
Emergency
Relief
Coordinator
and
Under-Secretary-General
for
Humanitarian
Affairs,
Mark
Lowcock
said,
“We
do
not
yet
see
evidence
that
the
virus
is
spreading
freely.
As
long
as
that’s
the
case,
we
still
have
a
chance
of
containing
it,
by
strengthening
surveillance,
conducting
thorough
outbreak
investigations
to
identify
contacts
and
applying
appropriate
measures
to
prevent
further
spread.”
“This
announcement
from
the
UN’s
Emergency
Fund
will
help
countries
with
fragile
health
systems
improve
their
detection
and
response
operations.
It
has
the
potential
to
save
the
lives
of
millions
of
vulnerable
people.”
Tedros
Adhanom
Ghebreyesus
WHO
Director-General,
said,“The
potential
spread
of
the
virus
to
countries
with
weaker
health
systems
is
one
of
our
biggest
concerns.
These
funds
will
help
support
these
countries
get
ready
for
detecting
and
isolating
cases,
protecting
their
health
workers,
and
treating
patients
with
dignity
and
appropriate
care.
This
will
help
us
save
lives
and
push
back
the
virus.”
“At
this
critical
moment,
every
effort
must
be
made
to
push
back
against
the
outbreak,”
said
UNICEF
Executive
Director
Henrietta
Fore.
“These
funds
will
support
our
global
efforts
to
promote
weaker
health
systems
and
inform
children,
pregnant
women
and
families
about
how
to
protect
themselves.”

这是一篇新闻报道。新冠状病毒疫情期间，联合国拨款1500万美元对病毒的传播、调查和科学实验等基本活动，以帮助卫生系统较为薄弱国家中的儿童、妇女和家庭进行疫情防疫。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。第二段第一句提到“the
World
Health
Organization
(WHO)
upgraded
the
global
risk
of
the
coronavirus
outbreak
to
“very
high”
–
its
top
level
of
risk
assessment.”世界卫生组织已经将新冠病毒的风险提升至最高等级，故A项错误。第二段最后一句提到“The
WHO
has
said
there
is
still
a
chance
of
containing
the
virus
if
its
chain
of
transmission
is
broken.”世界卫生组织认为只要病毒的传播链断裂，就能抑制病毒，故B项错误。第三段第二句提到“It
will
fund
essential
activities
including
being
aware
of
the
spread
of
the
virus,
investigating
cases,
and
putting

WHO
has
called
for
US$675
million
to
fund
the
fight
against
coronavirus.”世卫组织呼吁拨款6.75亿美元，由此判断出联合国提供的资金比世卫组织最初要求的要少得多，故选D。

Why
Is
2020
Called
a
Leap
Year?
February
29
comes
up
on
the
calendar
only
every
four
years.
A
year
with
a
February
29
might
be
good
news
if
you
are
paid
by
the
day
or
the
week.
But
it
might
be
bad
news
if
you
were
born
on
a
February
29.____11____.
American
English
has
a
term
for
the
unusual
situation.
February
29
is
called
a
leap
day.
And
the
entire
12-month
period
with
a
February
29
in
it
is
called
a
leap
year.
This
year,
2020,
is
such
a
year.
In
a
leap
year,
the
dates
jump
over
one
day
of
the
week.
Let
me
explain.
In
2017,
the
last
day
of
the
year,
December
31,
fell
on
a
Sunday.
In
2018,
it
fell
on
a
Monday.
In
2019,
it
fell
on
a
Tuesday.
But
in
2020,
December
31
will
fall
on
a
Thursday.___12___.
The
reason
for
a
leap
day
or
a
leap
year
is
because
our
calendar
does
not
follow
the
Earth’s
orbit
around
the
sun
exactly.___13___.
So
every
four
years,
we
put
all
that
time
together
into
an
extra
day
—
or,
what
is
officially
called
an
intercalary(闰)
day.
“Leap”
is
also
an
important
word
for
two
other
common
American
expressions.___14___.
If
you
want
someone
to
investigate
a
situation
completely
before
taking
action,
you
might
say,
“Look
before
you
leap.”
The
other
expression
is
a
phrase
of
hope.
Urging
someone
to
“take
a
leap
of
faith”
means
inviting
the
person
to
take
action,
even
if
not
everything
about
a
situation
is
known.
Interestingly,
both
phrases
are
completely
reasonable
to
say
to
someone
who
is
about
to
get
married.
On
that
note,
some
people
choose
to
marry
on
February
29
because
it
is
an
unusual
date.___15___.
Leap
years
were
believed
to
be
difficult,
and
leap
days
unlucky
and
a
bad
time
to
begin
anything
new.
Whatever
you
think
about
them,
the
change
in
the
calendar
will
be
gone
soon
enough.
Then
we
can
return
to
normal,
and
leap
over
February
29
as
usual.
A.
One
is
a
kind
of
warning.
B.
That’s
why
we
called
it
a
Leap
Year
C.
It
just
leaped
right
over
Wednesday.
D.
Each
year,
we
have
a
little
time
left
over.
E.
You
have
to
wait
three
years
in
between
birthdays!
F.
As
a
verb,
the
word
“leap”
means
to
jump,
or
to
move
quickly.
G.
Some
ancient
peoples
would
likely
tell
couples
not
to
do
it,
however.

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了闰年的情况：由来，习语，以及对其的新旧观点看法。
【11题详解】
根据前文“But
it
might
be
bad
news
if
you
were
born
on
a
February
29.”可知，如果出生在2月29日，这可能是个坏消息。由此可推知，设空句应是解释“坏消息”。选项E“You
have
to
wait
three
years
in
between
birthdays!”提及得等三年才能过生日，这合理解释了为什么出生在2月29日是一个坏消息，与上一句话题一致，意思衔接紧密。故选E项。
【12题详解】
根据前文“In
2019,
it
fell
on
a
Tuesday.
But
in
2020,
December
31
will
fall
on
a
Thursday.”可知，2019年是周二，但在2020年，12月31日将是一个星期四。选项C
“It
just
leaped
right
over
Wednesday.”解释了“它正好跳过了星期三”与前两句意思衔接紧密，且呼应前文提及“In
a
leap
year,
the
dates
jump
over
one
day
of
the
week.(在闰年，日期跳过一周中的一天。)”这一话题。故选C项。
【13题详解】
根据后文“So
every
four
years,
we
put
all
that
time
together
into
an
extra
day
—
or,
what
is
officially
called
an
intercalary
day.”提及所以每隔四年，会把所有的时间加在一起，变成额外的一天。由此推知，设空句应提及“有时间剩余”，由此才会出现后文的将所有剩余时间加在一起成为额外的一天。选项D“Each
year,
we
have
a
little
time
left
over.”提及每年都有一些剩余的时间，呼应后文的“that
time”，符合语境。故选D项。
【14题详解】
根据后文If
you
want
someone
to
investigate
a
situation
completely
before
taking
action,
you
might
say,
“Look
before
you
leap.”解释为：如果你想让某人在采取行动之前彻底调查一下情况，你可以说“三思而后行”。可知，这种说法是一种警告。选项A
“One
is
a
kind
of
warning.(一种是警告。)”放在该句前可体现与该句之间的总分关系，即总说和解释的关系，符合语境。故选A项。
【15题详解】
根据后文“Leap
years
were
believed
to
be
difficult,
and
leap
days
unlucky
and
a
bad
time
to
begin
anything
new.
(过去人们认为闰年是困难的，而闰日是不吉利的，不适合开始做任何新事情。)”解释了为什么不让选择闰年结婚。因此设空句应涉及内容为“不能在闰年结婚”，选项G“Some
ancient
peoples
would
likely
tell
couples
not
to
do
it,
however.(然而，一些古代民族可能会告诉夫妻不要这样做。)”符合语境分析，且句子“however”与前文“On
that
note,
some
people
choose
to
marry
on
February
29
because
it
is
an
unusual
date.(因此，有些人选择在2月29日结婚，因为这是一个不寻常的日子。)”形成对比转折关系。故选G项。

great
_______

potential
for，意为“有很大的潜力”，符合语境。故选C项。

01
picked
up

consistent
with
black

technology
_______
the
South
Indian

for
the
missing

the
South
Indian
Ocean
for
the
missing
plane”应是从句的时间状语，根据选项可判断为省略句，即，该省略句的主语应是从句主语Haixun
01(海巡1号)，宾语为the
missing
plane(失踪飞机)，因此其对应动作谓语应是comb
through
sth
for
sth，意为“仔细搜寻”，结合同位语从句的含义为“海巡1号在南印度洋搜寻失踪飞机时，获得了和黑匣子科技一致的信号”，可知，这应是“突破；突破性进展（breakthrough）”。因此第一个空应是breakthrough，第二个空应是when
combing
through。故选D项。

六、语法填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。
It
is
widely
accepted
that
optimistic
attitudes
promote
health
as
well
as
happiness.
The
secret
of
a
long
life
is
____41____
(universe)
desired
and
has
long
been
sought.
Today
we
can
reveal
it:
always

the
bright
side.
A
huge
research
project___42___(lead)
by
scientists
at
the
Boston
University
School
of
Medicine
concludes
that
optimists
live___43___
(long).
Lewina
Lee,
lead
author
of
the
study,
said,
“A
lot
of
evidence___44___(suggest)
that
exceptional
longevity(
长
寿
)
is
widely
accompanied
by
a
longer
span
of
good
health
and
living___45___
disability.
Therefore
our
findings
raise
an
exciting
possibility___46___
we
may
be
able
to
promote
health
and
happiness
by___47___(develop)
positive
attitudes
such
as
optimism.”
However,
the
study
doesn’t
suggest
that
we
should
aim
for
great
pleasure.
Sadness
is___48___
important
part
of
the
human
condition.
Any
normal
person
sometimes
experience
disappointment,
ambitions
and
the___49___(lose)
of
loved
ones.
But
for
many
people,
these
matters
of
human
existence
___50___
(transform)
into
an
abnormal
state
of
despair.
There
is
a
vital
place
in
public
health
for
providing
mental
treatment
in
helping
to
correct
these
cognitive
errors.
It
is
not
weakness
to
be

by
setbacks.
It
is
merely

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。人们普遍认为，乐观的态度既能促进健康，又能促进幸福。然而有实验证明乐观确实能够促进健康和幸福，从而带来长寿。
【41题详解】
考查副词。is
desired(被渴望)是系表结构，这里应该填写universal的副词形式universally修饰desired，表示“普遍地”。故填universally。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知lead在句子做非谓语动词，且与逻辑主语research
project构成被动关系，故用过去分词。故填led。
【43题详解】
考查比较级。上文中出现了sought（痛苦）所以这里的研究的结果应该是和痛苦的人比较起来，乐观的人活得更久，用比较级的形式。故填longer。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。evidence作“证据”之意时为不可数名词，故谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式。故填suggests。
【45题详解】
考查介词。and作为并列连接词，前后通常表示并列和顺承关系，所以此处应该填入与good
health（良好健康）意思相近的without
disability（无残疾）。故填without。
【46题详解】
考查连接词。句意：因此，我们的发现提出了一种令人兴奋的可能性，即我们可以通过培养乐观等积极态度来促进健康和幸福。本句为同位语从句修饰possibility，且从句中不缺少成分，故用that引导。故填that。
【47题详解】
考查非谓语动词。根据短语by
doing
sth表示“通过做……”。故填developing。
【48题详解】
考查冠词。part为可数名词，根据上文is可知应用单数形式，且important为元音音素开头的单词。故填an。
【49题详解】
考查名词。根据短语the
loss
of
sth./sb.“失去……（的感受）”。故填loss。
【50题详解】
考查动词时态语态。本句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，且主语matters为复数，谓语动词用复数形式。故填are
transformed。
【点睛】当分词做状语的时候，如果构成分词的动词与句子的主语构成主动关系，就使用现在分词做状语；当二者构成被动关系，使用过去分词做状语。如果分词的动作发生在谓语动词之前，就使用分词的完成式。如果分词与句子的主语没有关系，可以使用状语从句或者独立主格结构。
如第二小题，分析句子结构可知lead在句子做非谓语动词，且与逻辑主语research
project构成被动关系，故用过去分词。故填led。
七、单词拼写（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分）
根据所给汉语或首字母写出空缺处单词的适当形式，使句子完整，语法正确，每空一词。

admit
that

believe

hope

will
come
true.
However,
our
dream
shouldn’t
bring
concerns
to
those
who
love
and
care
about
us.
So
you’d
better
not
quarrel
with
your
parents.
It
doesn’t
help.
Think
why
they
are
worried
about
your
safety.
Is
your
destination
a
safe
one?
My
suggestion
is
to
do
some
research
on
the
program
you
plan
to
participate
in.
If
it
is
a
safe
place,
talk
with
your
parents
and
tell
them
about
your
research
result,
which
I
believe
will
bring
them
relief.
If
it
is
not,

to
think

Hope

第二节、概要写作（25分）
57.
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
A
new
study
warns
that
about
thirty
percent
of
the
world’s
people
may
not
have
enough
water
by
the
year
2025.
A
private
American
organization
called
Population
Action
International
(PAI)
did
the
new
study.
It
says
more
than
335
million
people
lack
enough
water
now.
The
people
live
in
28
countries.
Most
of
the
countries
are
in
Africa
or
the
Middle
East.
PAI
researcher
Robert
Engelman
says
by
the
year
2025,
about
3,000
million
people
may
lack
water.
At
least
18
more
countries
are
expected
to
have
severe
water
problems.
The
demand
for
water
keeps
increasing.
Yet
the
amount
of
water
on
the
Earth
stays
the
same.
Mr
Engelman
says
the
population
in
countries
that
lack
water
is
growing
faster
than
in
other
parts
of
the
world.
He
says
population
growth
in
these
countries
will
continue
to
increase.
The
report
says
lack
of
water
in
the
future
may
result
in
several
problems.
It
may
increase
health
problems.
Lack
of
water
often
means
drinking
water
is
not
safe.
Mr
Engelman
says
there
are
problems
all
over
the
world
because
of
diseases,
such
as
cholera
which
are
carried
in
water.
Lack
of
water
may
also
result
in
more
international
conflict
Countries
may
have
to
compete
for
water
in
the
future.
Some
countries
now
get
sixty
percent
of
their
fresh
water
from
other
countries.
And
the
report
says
lack
of
water
would
affect
the
ability
to
improve
their
economies.
This
is
because
new
industries
often
need
large
amounts
of
water
when
they
are
beginning.
The
Population
Action
International
study
gives
several
solutions
to
the
water
problem.
One
way
it
says,
is
to
find
ways
to
use
water
for
more
than
one
purpose.
Another
way
is
to
teach
people
to
be
careful
not
to
waste
water.
A
third
way
is
to
use
less
water
for
agriculture.
The
report
also
says
long-term
solutions
to
the
water
problem
must
include
controls
on
population
growth.
【答案】A
new
study
shows
that
about
30%
of
the
world’s
people
may
suffer
a
shortage
of
water
in
the
following
few
years.
(要点1)Nowadays
over
335
million
people
in
28
countries
lack
enough
water,
while
the
amount
of
water
remains
the
same
and
the
population
is
growing
faster.
(要点2)The
shortage
of
water
will
cause
health
problems
and
international
conflict.
(要点3)
Fortunately,
ways
are
found
to
settle
the
water
problem.
