第一节 (共 15 小题海小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选岀最佳选项。
A
What is Queen Elizabeth II like in person?
Answer from @ Jackie Pearcey:
I once had lunch with the Queen (OK, along with about 100 other people in a large room). There’s a rule that people should stop eating when the Queen stops. She eats carefully, making sure everyone has a proper opportunity to eat. After lunch, she made a point to meet up with and thank all of the waiting staff and those who had cooked the lunch.
Answer from @ Janie Keddie:
I live not far from Balmoral Castle, which is the Queen’s private mansion in the Scottish Highlands. What we find is that the Queen is a polite woman who is a good neighbor and treats people kindly. She uses local suppliers; she always supports the Braemar Highland Gathering and attends the local “Kirk” (Church of Scotland). That makes her part of the local community, which is quite protective of her and respects her privacy. However, my favourite tale is this. The Royals sometimes travel about the local area with minimal fuss (最小的麻烦). She stopped her car for a picnic on a track some distance from the road. There isn’t a lot of passing traffic, but on this occasion a family of walkers came upon but didn’t recognize her. On a “day off”, she looks much the same as the other local elderly ladies in her jacket. “Goodness!” said the mother, “You look just like that lady on the stamps.” “So I’ve been told;” said the Queen with a kindly smile as she continued to sip (小口抿) tea.
Answer from @ Gill Bullen:
Some years ago, when Prince William was a very little boy, he had apparently been playing in Buckingham Palace, had fallen down and hurt himself, and was crying bitterly. He was immediately surrounded by concerned maids and other household staff trying to comfort him, but he didn’t want any of them, only Gary. Nobody was sure who Gary was—possibly one of the housemen?
But then a voice was heard, saying, “Let me through, please. I’m Gary.” And they made way for the Queen, because “Granny” can be quite hard for a little boy to say!
What do we know from Jackie Pearcey’s words?
The Queen usually eats with the cook.
No one else is allowed to eat while the Queen is eating.
The Queen constantly has lunch with about 100 people.
The Queen seems appreciative of those who work for her.
According to Janie Keddie, Queen Elizabeth II .
is always recognized when she goes out
lives in harmony with neighbors
buys all her daily supplies by special suppliers
seldom takes part in the local community’ activities
It can be inferred that the Queen .
once had a secret nickname Gary
looked after Prince William on a daily basis
kept on good terms with the little prince
often played a role of the houseman to amuse little prince
B
Jem was twelve. He was difficult to live with, inconsistent, moody. His appetite was enormous, and he told me so many times to stop annoying him. I consulted Atticus: “Reckon he’s got a tapeworm?” Atticus said no, Jem was growing. I must be patient with him and disturb him as little as possible.
This change in Jem had come about in a matter of weeks. Several times he went so far as to tell me what to do. After one argument when Jem shouted, “It’s time you started bein’ a girl and acting right!” I burst into tears and fled to Calpurnia.
“Don’t you worry too much over Mister Jem—” she began. “Mister Jem?”
“Yeah, he’s just about Mister Jem now.”
“He ain’t that old,” I said. “All he needs is somebody to beat him up, and I ain’t big enough.”
“Baby,” said Calpurnia, “I just can’t help it if Mister Jem’s growin’ up. He’s gonna want to be off to himself a lot now, doin’ whatever boys do, so you just come right on in the kitchen when you feel lonesome. We’ll find lots of things to do in here.” She seemed glad to see me when I appeared in the kitchen.
But summer came and I received a letter from Dill. It said he would not come this summer. I was not used to his absence. I stayed miserable for two days.
As if that were not enough, the state legislature ( 立法机关) was called into emergency
session and Atticus left us for two weeks. There were sit-down strikes in Birmingham; bread lines in the cities grew longer, people in the country grew poorer. But these were events remote from the world of Jem and me.
We were surprised one morning to see a cartoon picture of our father in The Montgomery Advertiser. It showed Atticus barefooted and in short pants, chained to a desk: he was diligently writing on a stone while some frivolous (轻佻的)-looking girls yelled, “Yoo-hoo!” at him.
“That’s a compliment (表扬),” explained Jem. “He spends his time doin’ things that wouldn’t
get done if nobody did ’em.” “Huh?”
In addition to Jem’s newly developed characteristics, he had acquired a maddening air of
wisdom. “Oh, Scout, it’s like reorganizing the tax systems of the counties and things. That kind of thing’s pretty dry to most men.”
“How do you know?”
“Oh, go on and leave me alone. I’m reading the paper.” Jem got his wish. I departed for the kitchen.
Which of the following did NOT affect Scout’s life that summer?
A. Jem’s growing. B. Dill’s failing to come.
C. Atticus’ leaving for sessions. D. A cartoon in the newspaper.
What was Jem’s newly developed characteristic that summer?
A. His eating much. B. His tapeworm.
C. His consistent mood. D. His abuse of Scout.
Scout considered that Jem could return to normal unless someone .
A. treated him badly B. disturbed him
C. hit him heavily D. made him independent
What happened outside the world of Jem and Scout that summer?
A. People went on strike by eating nothing. B. More people were waiting for food.
C. People went to the countryside. D. Atticus was chained to his office.
C
Microsoft launched a four-day workweek experiment earlier this year in one of the most unlikely places: Japan. But in a country known for its culture of extreme overwork, the shorter week had a big boost on productivity, the company’s business unit said in a post on its website.
The test run, which took place in August and gave employees five continual Fridays off, boosted sales per employee by 40 percent, compared with the same month a year earlier, according to the post. The number of pages printed in the office fell by 59 percent, electricity consumption dropped 23 percent.
It is the latest example of a growing global movement to experiment with the concept of a four-day workweek as tight labor market conditions continue, technology offers increased flexibility, and reports grow multiply that some workplaces have seen beneficial results from working four days and then being off for three.
At Microsoft Japan, the Work Life Choice Challenge 2019 Summer project gave employees special paid leave, closing offices for each Friday in August. The idea was to promote more efficient work in less time, urging workers to “work in a short time, take a rest, and learn well” to improve productivity and creativity, according to a translated version of a company post on its website.
The program urged employees to limit meetings to 30 minutes and make “full use of Microsoft’s collaboration tool, ‘Microsoft Teams,’ ” holding more informal chats or online meetings rather than face-to-face sit downs.
As many as 94 percent of employees were satisfied with the program, followed by the comment from the company: “The project was a pilot project. At Microsoft, we care deeply about our employees’ experience. In the spirit of a growth mindset, we are always looking for new ways to innovate and leverage our own technology to improve the experience for our employees around the globe.”
Why is Japan “one of the most unlikely places” for the experiment?
Because it’s tough for Microsoft to get its market shares.
Because the offices must be shut down on Friday.
Because overwork is a dominant culture.
Because smaller companies have taken the measure.
What can be learned from the passage?
The project offered employees a five-continual-day-break per month.
The working efficiency increased greatly with the energy consumed reduced.
Japan took lead in the worldwide “four-day workweek” campaign.
Labor shortage and increased flexibility of technology call for the “four-day workweek”.
According to the program, how can the efficiency of meetings be improved?
A. By cancelling meetings. B. By using emails to respond instead.
C. By cutting down working hours. D. By using online office softwares.
What is the staff’s attitude to the program?
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Conservative. D. Indifferent.
D
Climate change demands a food revolution. Faced with heat, drought, pests and diseases, the crops we eat every day could become relics in a generation or less, at least where they are currently grown. From beef and fish to chocolate and wine, one beloved food after another is joining the at-risk list.
Take coffee. Right now, the two species that dominate the industry, Coffea arabica and C. canephora , are under urgent threat worldwide—as are the 125 million people who depend on coffee crops for their income. Coffee Arabica plants, which produce 70% of all commercial coffee, can be adversely affected by even a half-degree change in typical weather conditions. This sensitivity to temperature puts the plant at increased risk of the effects of climate change.
In Central America the average temperature has risen by a full degree Celsius since 1960. In Ethiopia the average temperature has increased by l. 3 degrees. This increase is enough to have notable effects on the plants. In Tanzania the productivity per hectare of coffee has fallen by half since the 1960s due to changes in temperature.
Indeed, studies claim that by 2050 the area of the world suitable for growing coffee will be cut by half. Coffee production is likely to then be pushed to higher elevations( 海 拔 ) to take advantage of lower temperatures, but this will not be enough to make up for lost lowland areas.
Coffee is the second most traded goods by developing nations, and the inability of producer nations to export it could cause dramatic chain reactions in their economies.Millions of people make a living in the production, processing, transport, and sale of coffee;their livelihoods would stand to take a blow as growing areas decrease and prices rise.
As the temperature keeps rising, your cup of coffee will become much more expensive, and it may also carry an aftertaste bitterer than usual, for all those workers in the coffee belt left without the means to make a living as conditions worsen. Not only that, but the economic effects will cost the West millions in increased foreign aid.
What does the underlined word “adversely” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. slightly. B. temporarily. C. harmfully. D. gradually.
Why will people have to grow coffee in highland areas?
To adapt to the change of temperature.
To increase the quality of the products.
To reduce the cost of coffee production.
To get access to water supply more easily.
What conclusion can we draw from the last two paragraphs?
The rich will get richer and the poor poorer.
Small changes may have large effects in general.
Developed countries ought to aid poor countries.
Coffee trade will eventually disappear in the world.
What is the best title of the passage?
Vulnerable coffee, fragile economy
How to save coffee from climate change
Food revolution resulting from climate change
Temperature rises, so does what you pay for your sup

A woman grasped her phone to her heart the way a minister might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of a bunch of flowers that sat not 10 feet away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular annual events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. For the 34th year, artists were asked to create flower bunches that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. 36
In recent years the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had ruined their experience. In fact, institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems. 37 So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.
One common complaint in the ongoing debates over the effect of social media on museum
culture is that 38 A recent study in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this; it found that people who took photos of an exhibit rather than simply observing it had a harder time remembering what they saw.
39 Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing, communications and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a photo-taking playland. ” Yet a lot of other people do, and she thinks that the de Young is in no position to judge that one motivation for buying a $ 28 ticket is more valid than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says, “we would risk becoming less popular.” If this is a battle, signs indicate that 40
the pro-phone crowd (亲手机人群) has already won.
But the issue is complicated for the professionals running museums.
It’s time to take a photo to post on Instagram, but to the point that it has become a problem.
people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them.
camera flashes, which emit intense light, are believed to hurt paintings and the patina( 铜 锈) of delicate objects.
The desire to take photographs becomes a huge draw for museums as well as something that upsets some of their visitors.
Some large art museums, like New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, have changed their policies and now allow photography in parts of their permanent collections.

Heimaey is a small island off the southern coast of Iceland of just 4,200 people. But with its neighboring islands, there lives the world’s largest puffin colony (海鹦群).

Each breeding season, the 47 of Heimaey start their own midnight adventure, which is called the Puffling Patrol. They gather to form 48 parties. “When you see a bird, you try to 49 it and guide it into the box,” Eldur Hansen, a 14-year-old boy said.
The next morning, they take the birds to the beach for 50 . Over the years, kids have even developed a 51 method. “You do not throw them like a baseball,” Eldur says. “You hold them in both hands. Then 52 __your arms out in front of you and let go.” Before being set free, the birds are 53 and labeled for tracking purposes.

Scientists worry puffins will die out completely. But the kids give____55 to Erpur Hansen. “The message is that people can make a difference,” he says. “Each time these kids help a bird get back to the ocean, they show us that.”

Over the past few months, Chinese people from all walks of life, 56. (be)they software developers, stay-at-home moms, or elite university students, have all discovered their daily lives can be 57. (accurate) described by the same once-mysterious academic term: involution.
Originally used by anthropologists(人类学家) to describe self-content statements that keep
agricultural societies 58. progressing, involution has become a shorthand used by Chinese urban dwellers to describe the ills of their modern lives: Parents feel intense pressure to provide their children with 59. ___ very best; children must keep up in the educational rat race; office workers have to clock in a grinding number of hours.
Involution can be understood as the 60. (oppose) of evolution. The Chinese word, neijuan, 61. (make) up of the characters for “inside” and “rolling”, is more likely understood as something that spirals(螺旋) in on itself, a process 62. traps participants who know they won’t benefit from it. In a sense, it’s the 63. (late) word for the negative side of China’s cutthroat society, similar to sang, the mentality of people who have turned indifferent by endless competition, or the various memes(表情包) people get use to 64. (complain) about their intensely boring white-collar jobs. But involution’s academic roots and its widespread application suggest the word, to many, 65. (capture) something more fundamental.

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。
Lon was chasing his runaway horse when a goose went under his feet. And he fell into a thorn-bush (荆棘丛). “Why do I have such bad luck?”
Things never seemed to go Lon’s way. If there was a bee about, he was stung. And if his horse ran away, it would run straight through a thorn-bush. Still, even bad luck might turn good if he could catch that goose for dinner.
He scanned the bushes, and found a nest with an egg. Just an egg, but even one egg might make a small meal.
He picked it up, but dropped it in surprise. The egg was unusually heavy, and it gleamed (发
光) in the sunlight. It was made of gold!
Lon sighed. He’d nearly stepped on a goose that lays golden eggs. If he had captured the goose, he would have had golden egg after golden egg.
Then a thought exploded in his mind.
Perhaps he could take the egg and get it to hatch, and the new goose would lay golden eggs just as its mother did.
Lon smiled. His luck seemed to be changing.
Once home, Lon placed the egg into a bed of cotton next to the hearth. He turned it every hour for several days.
One morning, he heard a faint chk-chk-chk. A small golden beak pushed its way through the
shell.
It was an ugly little thing, but Lon didn’t care. All that mattered was the golden eggs it would soon lay. The young goose demanded food. Lon happily kept it filled. He named it Goldy and became fond of it, even though it was soon better fed than he was. Lon talked to his goose and taught it to play checkers (国际跳棋).
Time passed as Lon waited for the first golden egg. Goldy had grown quite fat, but there were
no eggs.
Lon finally took the goose to a farmer to see what the problem was.
The farmer took a closer look and laughed. “You’ll never get eggs from this goose. It’s a
boy goose!” “I might as well roast you for dinner,” Lon said. “At least then I’ll get a meal for all my work!”

Dear Dr. Helper,
I’m Li Hua on behalf of my classmates to turn to you for some psychological aid.
With the approach of the College Entrance Examination, most of us students inevitably felt anxious either for the unstable performance or the exam itself. Some seem to collapse at any mention of marks or grades while others suffer painfully from days of insomnia.
I, together with many a student, feel the desperate urge to receive certain assistance from you. Either a series of lectures or face-to-face consultations will be ideal for us.
Your timely and expert help is highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Yours,
Li Hua

Alarmed, Goldy popped out of Lon’s arm and escaped into the forest. Alone in the house, Lon paced restlessly, wondering whether he was destined for bad luck. There was a deathly stillness in the house. Without Goldy accompanying him and begging him for food, a strong sense of loss overwhelmed him. It was no fun playing checkers alone, even if he did win every game. Picturing the merry scene of playing checkers with Goldy, he felt the regret burning his heart. If only he hadn’t scared Goldy away!
One morning, Lon awoke to Goldy’s familiar honking outside. At the sight of Goldy, Lon was seized with a mixture of joy and relief. Seeing Goldy pecking and quacking around the lawn, Lon knew immediately Goldy was starving. As usual, Lon took some oatmeal out to serve his good friend. Lon happily settled down and enjoyed a game of checkers with Goldy. To Lon, having a companion was the luckiest thing in life now.
