第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题，每小题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，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
The return of the road trip
People are eager to get out of their houses, but not badly enough to get on a plane. The solution? A good old-fashioned road trip. As many states make travel rules less strict, they're encouraging people to move around within their home state to help increase local business. A road trip in one’s vehicle allows for a sense of control and you know whose germs(细菌) are in your space.
The prioritization(优先) of cleanliness
Travelers generally expect a clean hotel room when they arrive, and now expectations will be higher than ever. We're about to become concerned with cleanliness to the point that it could become the top priority of hotels, more so than comfortable beds and good service.
Checking list can show whether hosts are practicing strict new clean guidelines, including a24-hour waiting period between bookings.
The new appeal of nature
Travelers will be rightly nervous about crowds and anxious to avoid them. That will result in an explosion of visitors to national parks and other places where crowds are less likely to be met with. This could be the start of the golden age of camping, as people want to get outside while keeping social distance.
_______________
Health is at the forefront of everyone’s minds these days, and it is safe to say it'll stay therefore a long time yet. Meanwhile, people are sick of being indoors, so tourism is likely to reflect an increasing desire to promote good health while getting outside. Intrepid Travel’s CEO James told The Times, “If 2020 proves to be a year we spend a lot of time indoors, 2021 will be about getting outdoors and getting active, with tours centred around things like cycling and hiking.”
21. Taking a road trip is encouraged to ___________.
A. replace a tiring journey by air B. prevent germs from spreading
C. improve drivers’ control of the vehicle D. promote local economic development
22. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Hotels should put comfort in the first place.
B. Travelers should book a room 24 hours ahead.
C. Camping is a good choice to avoid crowds.
D. People tend to get sick after staying long indoors.
23. What is the best title for Paragraph 5?
A. The rise of health tourism B. The routine of keeping fit
C. The benefit of getting active D. The importance of health care
B
Drug development is a risky and costly business. Many possibly effective drugs fail to cut the mustard during the experiments. One reason is that drugs which work on lab animals may not work quite so well in human tests. Being able to pick winners and losers as early as possible would save money, and the One Health Company thinks it may have found a way. It is offering to help medical groups test their cancer drugs on sick pets.
There are several benefits. By treating animals with existing cancers, it hopes to avoid a problem with modern animal research, which is that the “model” animals and diseases that are used to test drugs are not always good stand-ins (替身) for the natural illness. For example, mice used to test cancer drugs may have had their tumours (肿瘤) placed into their bodies, or their immune systems weakened with drugs.
Another plus is that pet owners tend to be great caretakers who are very knowledgeable about their four-legged friends and are likely to report even small changes in behaviors. Lab animals are checked far less often.
Perhaps the most useful aspect of using pets for drug experiments, however, is that there is no law on animals’ medical records. One Health has been able to get 98% of records on animals from hospitals—a number that is impossible for humans. That allows the company to find the right animals for a drug experiment.
Based on the benefits above, the company hopes that pets will prove useful in other diseases in addition to cancers. Horses, for example, seem to be good stand-ins for humans when it comes to arthritis (关节炎). Cats, meanwhile, may prove instructive in breast cancer research.
24. What do the underlined words “cut the mustard” in Paragraph1 probably mean?
A. Meet the requirements. B. Reduce the pain.
C. Affect the test results. D. Tell the differences.
25. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of One Health’s idea?
A. It makes sure the animals with natural diseases are used.
B. It makes sure the model animals are checked regularly.
C. It makes sure most animals’ medical records are available.
D. It makes sure the model animals are in healthy condition.
26. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. How to help sick pets at a low price. B. How to improve drug experiments.
C. How to save the drug business. D. How to treat some pet diseases.
27. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
falseC
Dear Mary,
I’m a young professional working for a company. I’ve been in the same workplace for a couple of years, and there are many things I love about it.
A few months ago, however, I got a new boss. He never gave me positive feedback, but leaned over my shoulder and disliked everything I did. When I tried talking to him about my concerns, he suggested I give up.
The stress being too much to bear, I moved to another job in the same company. While the pay was lower, it would allow me to take some classes to improve myself.
Here’s the problem. At the beginning, I agreed to help with small tasks from my old department while it searched for my replacement(接替者). But it seems that my old boss isn’t actively searching. I am still under as much stress as I was working for him full time, but now I’m getting less pay.
How do I deal with this situation without jeopardizing my new position, which fits my education schedule so well?
Rose
Dear Rose,
You have probably realized that it was a mistake to make such an open-ended offer. You should have suggested helping out with certain tasks for a certain period of time, which would have made your old boss replace you timely.
Now here’re two ways. First, communicate what’s going on to your new boss. Don’t make it a huge complaint, just be matter-of-fact. You thoughtfully offered to help your old department through a transitional(过渡的) period for the good of the company—but you can’t keep doing two jobs forever, and you want to focus on doing the best you can in your new role. Your new boss needs to know that this is happening—and, frankly, should immediately step in to handle the matter without further discussion.
Second, you should say no if necessary. The next time your old boss asks you to do something, tell him that while you are happy to help him, you must give your new job your full attention.
Remember you’re not complaining, or starting a fight; you simply have the company’s best interests in mind. Your old department needs to move on—and you need to do your new job.
Mary
28. What’s the problem with Rose now?
A. She’s getting on badly with her new boss.
B. She’s getting less pay for her new job.
C. She’s overworking for her old boss.
D. She’s losing interest in her new job.
29. What does the underlined word “jeopardizing” in Rose’s letter probably mean?
A. Preventing. B. Damaging. C. Benefiting. D. Refusing.
30. By the underlined sentence in Mary’s letter, what is Rose probably regretful about?
A. Accepting tasks without certain limits.
B. Asking for too much from the company.
C. Refusing many tasks from the new boss.
D. Losing her job from the old department.
31. Which of the following does Mary recommend?
A. Balancing the old and new jobs. B. Making more huge complaints.
C. Saying no to any given tasks. D. Having open communication.
D
Hello! Wait! Don’t run away. Yes, I know I am a roach. So, what’s wrong with that?
You are speaking to the most successful species on the planet, you know! We’ve been around for 350 million years!
So what’s the secret of our success? Sure, we’ve had plenty of enemies. If you’re small and full of protein, everything wants to eat you. So what did we do? We got quick, is what. We learned to hide, is what. We can squeeze so flat that we can fit through gap no bigger than a coin. Really! I dare you, try it.
And we never skip a meal! What do we eat? What have you got? Rotting leaves, garbage glue, paper, leather...and if you like to eat dead things, I tell you, the world is your refrigerator! But just don’t offer me a cucumber or plastics!
Once humans came along, we went everywhere humans went. In ships, on planes, in came packs across the desert Roach road trin! We even followed them to space! That’s Uncle Anton. He hid on board the Apollo capsule---he was so mad when they just came right back to earth.
You can't have too many roaches. I say. Now there are 4.000 species of us: Asian, American. German....hope you get to meet them all someday.
Some of the family get pretty strange That's Reginald. He thinks if he pretends to be a firefly, birds won’t oat him. That’s tough old Ant Elo. She worked for some scientists trying to figure out ways to get rid of us...ha! Poison, radiation, heat, cold…whatever they throw at us, we just get tougher. Bring it on!
Aw, look. that's me just after my 15 brothers and sisters and I hatched(孵化) out from egg case. Yeah. I look pretty much the same. That’s another roach wonder--we skip the larva stage(幼虫期). Our eggs hatch all ready to roll! Still pretty cute, though.
Yep, that’s how we got to be the most successful species on the planet!
32. What may contribute to a roach’s success?
①being flexible ②running like wind
③being full of protein ④raising many babies
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②④
33. According to Paragraph 5, who is Uncle Anton?
A. A hero. B. A spaceman. C. A roach. D. A traveler.
34. What can we learn about roaches from the article?
A. They can almost roll when they are brought to the world.
B. Their number is coming down thanks to scientists’ efforts.
C. Their home is usually equipped with a refrigerator full of foods.

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。选项中有两项为多选项。
Have you ever complained about your to-do list but still kept busy with it? Me too. 36 Here’s how to get things done but enjoy yourself at the same time.
Rename it. My friend Jim Kwik says, “Call your ‘got-to-do’ list your ‘get-to-do’ list.”
37 Think about it. What a nice day if you get to, rather than “have got to”, walk your dog, choose fantastic food for dinner and go to a job that affords you the life you have!
38 Instead of writing plain reminders down as memory ones, like “Dentist” and “Report”, add some verbs and result-based benefits, like “Book dentist and get teeth shining white!” or “Complete report and breathe.” 39
Trust there’s time. Have you ever noticed when you’re in a rush, you make mistakes? For example, when you’re late for work, you can’t find your jeans, you hit your foot on the bed and you misplace your phone as you head down the lift. When we operate from a place of calm, things happen faster. 40 We don’t burn the toast. It can be as simple as sitting up in bed, taking ten deep breaths when you wake up and setting a simple goal for the day, not reaching straight for WeChat and email.
Add some action.
Make your list simple.
Never put off your to-do list.
It’s a small revision, but a big change.
We find what we need with little difficulty.
However, life is more than getting through the boring tasks.
Imagine the good feeling attached to each item and let it cheer you up.

Dear fellow students,
Our school canteen plans to serve smaller dishes. Instead of a full plate of food, you are inspired to take smaller dishes when ordering your meals.
Considering the critical food shortages, serving half-portioned dishes is necessary and meaningful. Not only does it curb the unnecessary waste but it helps advocate the practice of being thrifty. So good is the virtue that it deserves promotion.
Welcome to take an active part. Let’s start small and small acts make a big difference.
