B
When
Jennifer
Doudna
was
in
sixth
grade,
she
came
home
one
day
to
find
that
her
dad
had
left
a
book
titled
The
Double
Helix
on
her
bed.
She
put
it
aside,
thinking
it
was
one
of
those
detective
tales
she
loved.
On
a
rainy
Saturday,
she
picked
up
the
book.
As
she
sped
through
the
pages,
she
became
fascinated
by
the
drama,
which
encouraged
her
to
explore
nature's
wonders.
Even
though
her
high
school
teacher
told
her
that
girls
didn't
become
scientists,
she
decided
she
would.
She
worked
with
a
biologist,
Charpentier,
to
turn
a
curiosity
of
nature
into
an
invention—an
easy-to-use
tool
that
can
edit
DNA.
Known
as
Crispr,
the
tool
will
transform
the
human
race.
James
Watson,
the
author
of
The
Double
Helix,
later
told
her
it
was
the
most
important
biological
advance:
since
he
and
Francis
Crick
discovered
the
structure
of
DNA.
For
this
achievement,
Doudna
and
Charpentier
were
awarded
the
Nobel
Prize
in
Chemistry
in
2020.
Until
now,
only
five
women,
beginning
with
Marie
Curie
in
1911,
had
won
or
shared
the
Nobel
for
Chemistry
out
of
184
award
winners.
When
this
year's
prize
was
announced,
Dr.
Charpentier
said
it
would
provide
a
message
specifically
to
young
girls
who
would
like
to
follow
the
path
of
science
and
to
show
them
that
women
can
also
be
awarded
prizes.
A
few
decades
from
now,
if
it
becomes
possible
and
sate
to
edit
DNA,
should
we
allow
parents
to
improve
the
IQ
and
physical
strength
of
their
kids?
Should
we
let
them
decide
eye
color?
Skin
color?
Height?
After
helping
to
discover
Crispr,
Dr.
Doudna
has
become
a
leader
in
considering
these
moral
issues.
That's
the
main
message
we
should
take
from
this
Nobel:
New
technologies
can
be
a
huge
benefit
to
the
human
race,
but
in
order
to
make
sure
they
are
used
wisely,
it's
important
for
people
to
understand
them.
24.
Jennifer
Doudna
decided
to
become
a
scientist
because,__________
A.
her
father
pushed
her
B.
a
book
inspired
her

Prize

the
book
“The
Double
Helix"
B.

the
structure
of
DNA
C.
she
is

woman
scientist
D.
she
helped
invent
a

for
editing
DNA
26.
According
to

which
of
the
following
is
NOT
true?
A.
The
two
women's
success
will
inspire
more
girls
to
be
devoted
to
science.
B.
Since
1911,
there
have
been
184
people
who
won
the
Nobel
for
chemistry.
C.

girls
follow
the
path
of
science,
they
will
surely
achieve
their
goals.
D.
Crispr
will
make
a
big
difference
to
the
human
race.

C
We'
re
accustomed
to
thinking
of
environmental
change,
and
its
effects
on
our
health,
as
Being
measured
in
years.
But
researchers
are
now
discovering
how
quickly
and
dramatically
air
quality
can
improve
-
and
how
big
an
impact
those
improvements
can
make.
For
instance,
when
Atlanta
hosted
the
1996
Olympic
Games,
parts
of
the
city
were
closed
to
cars
for
17
days.
In
the
following
four
weeks,
kids'
medical
visits
for
lung
diseases
decreased
by
more
than
40
percent.
In
1990,
when
Hong
Kong
passed
stricter
regulations
for
the
content
of
fuel
oil
used
by
power
plants
and
cars,
SO2
levels
immediately
fell
by
45
percent
on
average
and
as
much
as
80
percent
in
the
most
polluted
areas.
Within
six
months,
there
was
a
significant
decrease
in
the
number
of
deaths
from
air
related
diseases.
In
March
2020,
when
businesses
shut
down
because
of
the
coronavirus
pandemic,
NO2
levels
were
about
30
percent
lower
on
average
in
the
northeaster
United
States
than
they
were
in
the
same
month
for
the
years
2015
to
2019.
Also,
during
the
month
that
China
was
under
quarantine(隔离)
from
February
to
April
because
of
the
pandemic,
one
study
estimated
that
improved
air
quality
helped
to
impede
more
than
12,000
pollution-related
deaths.
With
a
recent
study
showing
that
the
higher
PM2.5
is,
the
more
people
will
die
from
the
COVID-19,
measures
to
improve
air
quality
may
be
more
important
than
ever
before.
28.
The
examples
in
Paragraph
2
are
given
in
order
to
prove
that_________,
A.
kids
often
see
doctors
B.
people
love
the
Olympics
C.
air
quality
can
improve
D.
cars
should
be
prohibited
29.
What
does
the
underlined
word
"impede"
mean
in
Paragraph
3?
A.
Increase.
B.
Recover.
C.
Witness.
D.
Prevent.
30.
What
might
be
the
best
title?
A.
The
surprisingly
fast-acting
benefits
of
cleaner
air
B.
The
influence
of
COVID-
19
on
the
environment
C.
The
cause
and
effect
of
the
widespread
disease
D.
The
significance
of
fighting
against
COVID-19
31.
What
will
the
article
probably
talk
about
in
the
following
part?
A.
The
causes
of
COVID-19.
B.
The
solutions
to
air
problems.
C.
The
examples
of
air
pollution.
D.
The
results
of
the

research.
【答案】28.
C
29.
D
30.
A
31.
B
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍空气质量改善所带来的益处。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据行文逻辑，第二段一开始就是具体的例子，这是为了说明文章第一段最后的观点。再根据第一段“But
researchers
are
now
discovering
how
quickly
and
dramatically
air
quality
can
improve
—
and
how
big
an
impact
those
improvements
can
make.(但研究人员现在发现，空气质量的改善能有多么迅速和显著，以及这些改善能产生多大的影响。)
”可以推断，第二段中的例子是为了证明空气质量可以改善。故选C。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“Within
six
months,
there
was
a
significant
decrease
in
the
number
of
deaths
from
air
related
diseases.(在六个月内，死于与空气有关疾病的人数显著下降。)”可知，空气质量的改善能降低疾病的死亡率，根据第三段最后一句“With
a
recent
study
showing
that
the
higher
PM2.5
is,
the
more
people
will
die
from
the
COVID-19,
measures
to
improve
air
quality
may
be
more
important
than
ever
before.
(最近的一项研究表明，PM2.5越高，死于COVID-19的人就越多，因此改善空气质量的措施可能比以往任何时候都更加重要。)”可知PM2.5含量越高，死于新冠病毒的人越多。因此改善了空气质量，有助于“阻止”因为空气污染引起的死亡。所以impede为“阻止”之意。故选D。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But
researchers
are
now
discovering
how
quickly
and
dramatically
air
quality
can
improve
-
and
how
big
an
impact
those
improvements
can
make.(
但研究人员现在发现，空气质量的改善能有多么迅速和显著，以及这些改善能产生多大的影响。)”和后面引出的话题，及下面两段的具体阐述，可知本文是为了说明空气质量改善所带来的益处。所以“The
surprisingly
fast-acting
benefits
of
cleaner
air(更清洁空气令人惊讶地快速见效的好处)”作为文章的标题最为合适。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段后面的
“measures
to
improve
air
quality
may
be
more
important
than
ever
before.
(改善空气质量的措施可能比以往任何时候都更加重要。)”
可知2020年改善空气质量的措施比以往任何时候都重要，可以推断出下文应该接着列举有哪些可行的措施和解决方案。故选B。
D
Any
C.E.O.
book
ought
to
do
two
things.
First,
it
should
be
a
tale
of
how
the
author
did
it.
In
Bee
Fearless,
the
10-year-old
C.E.O.
Mikayla
Ulmer's
book,
the
origin
story
of
Ulmer's
company
begins
wit
bee
stings
(蜇),
after
which
her
parents
encourage
her
to
learn
about
the
insects
rather
than
fear
them.
She
does
some
research
and
finds
out
that
bees
are
in
danger,
which
raised
her
concern.
So
the
4-year-old
sets
up
a
lemonade
stand
(柠檬汽水摊)
outside
her
house
in
Austin,
Tex.as.
She
sweetens
her
lemonade
with
honey,
since
bees
make
it
and
it's
healthy.
She
sells
it
with
an
information
card
about
bees.
Her
lemonade
is
awful
at
first,
but
a
series
of
experiments
produces
something
better.
Best
of
all
she
donates
money
to
bee-related
organizations.
People
around
Austin
notice
it.
The
owner
of
a
pizza
shop
offers
to
sell
the
drinks
if
she
bottles
it.
Then
she
is
invited
to
the
TV
series
“Shark
Tank"
and
later
goes
to
Hollywood.
She
leaves
Hollywood
with
$60,000
and
expands
her
lemonade
business.
So
we
have
our
good
story.
The
second
task
is
harder——for
anyone,
let
alone
a
teenager
selling
her
story
to
other
kids:
How
do
you
make
people
believe
that
they
too
could
accomplish
something
like
this?
In
Ulmer's
book,
she
delivers
the
key
to
keeping
in
contact
with
customers
like
writing
thank-you
notes.
She
also
writes
about
connecting
with
the
strangers
over
a
brief
trade.
Many
grown-ups
never
learn
the
art
of
selling.
Near
the
book's
end,
Ulmer
describes
telling
a
group
of
girls
in
South
Africa
to
"imagine
what
it
would
feel
like”"
to
buy
things
they
want
without
having
to
ask
others
for
help.
32.
What
first
inspired
Ulmer
to
start
her
business?
A.
Her
parents'
blame.
B.
Her
concern
about
bees.
C.
Her
hatred
for
businesses.
D.
Her
desire
to
help
other
girls.
33.
What
does
the
underlined
word“this"
in
Paragraph
4
refer
to?
A.
Writing
a
book
of
bee
protection.
B.
Selling
bees
successfully.
C
Succeeding
in
achieving
one's
goal.
D.
Saving
bees
in
tieir
own
ways.
34.
From
Ulmer's
story,
we
can
infer
that
A.
after
bee
stings,
she
became
afraid
of
bees
B.
her
attempt
on
lemonade
was
a
total
failure
C.
her
book
only
teaches
girls
how
to
help
themselves
D.
she
develops
a
good
relationship
with

【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了十岁的C.E.O.
Mikayla
Ulmer成功的故事和她写的书。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段最后一句
“She
does
some
research
and
finds
out
that
bees
are
in
danger,
which
raised
her
concern.”(
她做了一些研究并发现蜜蜂处于危险之中，这引起了她的关注。)可知，Ulmer在被蜜蜂蛰了后，在父母的鼓励下了解蜜蜂并产生关注，再由第二段首句“So
the
4-year-old
sets
up
a
lemonade
stand
outside
her
house
in
Austin…”(因此，这个4岁的女孩在Austin的家门口摆了一个柠檬水摊……)可知，她对蜜蜂的关注激发了她的创业灵感。故选B项。
33题详解】
词句猜测题。代词通常指代的是前文提到的相关内容。根据二、三段的叙述以及第四段第一、二句“So
we
have
our
good
story.
The
second
task
is
harder——for
anyone,
let
alone
a
teenager
selling
her
story
to
other
kids”(
这就是我们的好故事。第二项任务对任何人来说都更难，更不用说一个十几岁的孩子把自己的故事卖给其他孩子了)可知，Ulmer取得了一系列成功，并且还要把自己成功的经验传递给其他孩子。进一步推出，下文“How
do
you
make
people
believe
that
they
too
could
accomplish
something
like
this?”(你怎么使人相信他们也可以完成这样的事情？)中的this，是指让其他孩子也可以取得“这样的成功”，即“成功地达到某人的目标”。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段的前两句“In
Ulmer's
book,
she
delivers
the
key
to
keeping
in
contact
with
customers
like
writing
thank-you
notes.
She
also
writes
about
connecting
with
the
strangers
over
a
brief
trade.”(在Ulmer的书中，她介绍了与客户保持联系的关键，就像写感谢信一样。她还写了关于与陌生人进行短暂交易的故事。)可知，Ulmer在书中说明了自己是如何通过感谢信和顾客保持联系的，可以推断出她与顾客之间培养了良好的关系。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。从文章第一段，尤其是“In
Bee
Fearless,
the
10-year-old
C.E.O.
Mikayla
Ulmer's
book…”(在《无畏的蜜蜂》中，十岁的C.E.O.
Mikayla
Ulmer的书)及最后一段第一句“In
Ulmer's
book,
she…”(在书中，她……)可以看出，本文是在介绍Mikayla
Ulmer的一本书。故选A项。

B
The
Royal
Swedish
Academy
of
Sciences
awarded
the
Nobel
Prize
in
Chemistry
2020
to
two
women
scientists,
Charpentier
and
Doudna,
“for
the
development
of
a
method
for
gene
editing."
The
discovery
of
these
genetic
scissors
was
unexpected.During
Charpentier'
s
studies
of
Streptococcus
pyogenes,
one
of
the
bacteria
that
cause
the
most
harm
to
humans,
she
discovered
a
previously
unknown
molecule(分子)，tracrRNA.
Her
work
showed
that
tracrRNA
is
part
of
bacteria's
ancient
immune
system,
CRISPR/Cas.
Charpentier
published
her
discovery
in
Nature
in
2011
and
described
how
tracrRNA
works
with
the
Cas9
protein(蛋白质)to
follow
and
kill
viruses
by
cutting
up
their
DNA.
Then
in
that
same
year,Charpentier
began
to
cooperate
with
Doudna,
an
experienced
biochemist
in
RNA.Together,
they
succeeded
in
recreating
the
bacteria's
genetic
scissors
in
a
test
tube
and
simplifying
the
scissors'
molecular
components
so
they
were
easier
to
use.They
then
reprogrammed
the
genetic
scissors.
In
their
natural
form,
the
scissors
recognize
DNA
from
viruses,but
Charpentier
and
Doudna
proved
that
they
could
be
controlled
so
that
they
can
cut
any
DNA
molecule
at
a
predetermined
site.
Where
the
DNA
is
cut,
it
is
then
easy
to
rewrite
the
code
of
life.
Since
the
CRISPR/Cas9
genetic
scissors
were
discovered
in
2012,
their
use
has
exploded
though
there
are
concerns
that
the
technology
could
be
misused.
This
tool
has
contributed
to
many
important
discoveries
in
basic
research,
and
plant
researchers
have
been
able
to
develop
crops
that
withstand
mould,
pests
and
drought.
In
medicine,
clinical
trials
of
new
cancer
therapies
are
underway,and
the
dream
of
being
able
to
cure
inherited
diseases
is
about
to
come
true.

In
this
funny,wise
and
heartfeel
book,Confessions
of
a
Bad
Mother:
the
Teenage
Years,
Stephanie
Calman
covers
the
lives
of
her
two
children
from
when
they
were
eight
and
seven
to
when
they're
20
and
19
and
have
both
gone
off
to
college.
Luckily,whatever
age
they
are,Calman
writes
about
parenthood
with
the
same
winning
mix
of
fondness
and
trouble.
But
on
the
whole,Calman
goes
for
the
the
comedy
aspects
of
parenthood,and
the
book
is
full
of
great
jokes.
But
it
also
has
its
more
reflective
side,as
she
considers
the
whole
strange
business
of
family
life-sometimes
with
a
touch
of
sadness.Here,
though,
is
a
statement
straight
from
the
heart
of
her
children's
early
teenage
years...
It's
the
seemingly
smaller
changes
that
can
be
the
most
painful,
like
when
they
come
back
from
a
stay
with
friends
and
you
rush
to
hug
them.
And
they
take
a
step
back.Then
there's
the
extreme
self-consciousness
you
get
at
this
stage;
suddenly,
everything
you
say
is
unconvincing,
stupid
and
wrong.
Meanwhile,your
teenagers
need
desperately
to
be
praised,
but
throw
it
back
in
your
face.
But
you
must
persist.
This
is
not
easy.
For
example,
when
Lawrence
or
Lydia
came
home
with
a
picture,
we
used
to
say:
"OH
WOW!
WHAT
A
LOVELY
PICTURE!
LETIS
PUT
IT
RIGHT
UP
HERE
ON
THE
WALL!
EVERYONE,COME
AND
LOOK
AT
THIS!"
Now
when
they
do
something
impressive,
such
as
passing
an
exam,
we
must
not
sound
Too
Pleased.Nor
must
we
hug
them
and
cover
them
with
proud,
delighted
kisses.
＂Oh,that's
good,
well
done!”
is
about
right,
though
on
second
thoughts
I
might
lose
them"!".

Which
of
the
following
best
describes
Stephanie
Calman's
feelings
to
parenthood?
A.
Proud
but
confused.
B.
Positive
but
disappointed.
C.
Loving
but
annoyed.
D.
Pleased

9.
Why
do
teenagers
refuse
to
be
hugged
by
their
parents?
A.
They
are
extremely
self-conscious.
B.
They
think
their
parents
are
stupid.
C.
They
would
like
to
be
appreciated.
D.
They
are
influenced
by
the
friends.
10.
What
.does
Calman
mean
when
she
said
on
second
thoughts
I
might
lose
them

She
should
praise
her
children
calmly
and
quietly.
B.
She
should
think
twice
before

Her
children
might
lose

这是一篇说明文。文章着重对一本名为《一个坏母亲的自白——青春期》的书进行了介绍，并对其中的相关内容进行了简要描述。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Luckily,whatever
age
they
are,Calman
writes
about
parenthood
with
the
same
winning
mix
of
fondness
and
trouble.”(幸运的是，不管他们多大年纪，卡尔曼在描写为人父母的过程中，都同样成功地将喜爱与烦恼交织在一起。)可知，父母既是爱着孩子的，但也有烦恼恼怒的时候，故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“Then
there's
the
extreme
self-consciousness
you
get
at
this
stage;
suddenly,
everything
you
say
is
unconvincing,
stupid
and
wrong.”(然后呢在这个阶段你会有一种极端的自我意识；突然间，你所说的一切都是不可信的、愚蠢的和错误的)可知，孩子们在这段时间的自我意识会增强，继而感到难为情而不愿意与父母拥抱，故选A。
3.词句猜测题。根据倒第二段“Now
when
they
do
something
impressive,
such
as
passing
an
exam,
we
must
not
sound

we
hug
them
and
cover
them
with
proud,
delighted
kisses.”(现在，当他们做了一些令人印象深刻的事情，比如通过考试，我们不能听起来太高兴。我们也不应该拥抱亲吻他们)可知，父母应用更加冷静与平和的语气夸赞自己的孩子。但这不意味着不要夸奖孩子，故选A。
4.推理判断题。根据第一段“In

D
If
a
president
and
a
philosopher
credited
the
same
secret
for
their
success.
would
you
try
to
follow
it
too?
What
if
the
secret
was
something
you
already
knew
how
to
do?
In
fact,
you
probably
do
it
every
day.
Here's
what
Friedrich
Nietzsche
wrote:
It
is
only
ideas
gained
from
walking
that
have
any
worth."
Thomas
Jefferson:
“Walking
is
the
best
possible
exercise.”
It's
not
just
the
two
great
minds
who
made
a
case
for
it
as
a
prime
creativity
booster.
Researchers
have
traced
numerous
connections
between
walking
and
generating
ideas.
A
Stanford
University
study
found
that
participants
were
81
percent
more
creative
when
walking
as
opposed
to
sitting.
You've
probably
heard
the
phrase
Exercise
your
creativity,
which
refers
to
the
brain
as
muscle.
Our
creative
mindset
is
triggered
by
physical
movement,
which
is
exactly
why
walking-with
your
dog,
a
friend,
or
alone-feeds
creative
thinking.
But
the
scenery
is
almost
as
important
as
the
sweat.
The
National
Human
Activity
Pattern
Survey
reveals
that
Americans
spend
87
percent
of
their
time
indoors.
Being
inside,
you
will
be
less
energetic.
Without
energy,
you
can't
wonder
or
create.
Interrupting
your
routine
with
a
walk
can
afford
you
fresh
insights
into
problems
or
projects.
Just
by
going
outside,
you
are
stepping
out
of
your
habitual
surroundings
and
your
comfort
zone,
which
is
necessary
if
you
want
to
open
your
mind
to
new
possibilities.
When
you
can
walk
through
a
tree-filled
neighborhood
or
down
a
busy
street,
you
can't
help
but
get
distracted
by
the
child
pointing
to
a
building
you
haven't
even
noticed
before
Our
brains
work
harder
to
process
in
different
environments,
so
walking
outside
fosters
our
ability
ta
glean
hew
ideas.
Research
has
shown
that
immersion
(沉浸)
in
nature,
and
the
corresponding
disconnection
from
multimedia
and
technology,
increased
performance
on
a
creative
problem-solving
task
by
a
full
50
percent
in
a
group
of
hikers.
So
instead
of
setting
a
fitness
goal,
why
not
set
a
creativity
goal
that
starts
with
walking?
Engage
more
closely
with
your
surroundings.
Turn
off
your
phone
and
give
yourself
the
chance
to
be
present
in
the
world,
to
hear
conversations
and
natural
sounds,
to
notice
the
way
people
move,the
way
the
sun
reflects
in
a
pond.
Walk
not
just
for
exercise.
Walk
for
wonder.

【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。讲述了走路对于创造力的激发与思维的发散所具有的重大意义。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“In
fact,
you
probably
do
it
every
day.
Here's
what
Friedrich
Nietzsche
wrote:
It
is
only
ideas
gained
from
walking
that
have
any
worth."
Thomas
Jefferson:
Walking
is
the
best
possible
exercise.”
事实上，你可能每天都在这样做。弗里德里希·尼采(Friedrich
Nietzsche)曾写道:只有从散步中获得的思想才有价值。”托马斯·杰斐逊:散步是最好的运动。可知“the
secret”指的是走路。故答案为B。
【13题详解】

只要走出去，你就走出了习惯的环境和舒适区，如果你想敞开心胸接受新的可能性，这是必要的。当你穿过树木茂盛的街区或繁忙的街道时，孩子指着一座你从未注意过的建筑时，你会不由自主地将注意力转移到这座建筑上来。由此判断出走出去，你会发现新的可能性。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Our

我们的大脑更努力地在不同的环境中处理问题，所以外出散步能培养我们收集新想法的能力。研究表明，一组徒步旅行者沉浸在大自然中，并与多媒体和科技断绝联系，可以使他们在创造性解决问题任务上的表现提高50%。可知在公园里漫步最能促进创造力。故选A。

关掉你的手机，让自己有机会活在这个世界上，倾听对话和自然的声音，注意人们移动的方式，太阳反射在池塘里的方式。走路不只是为了锻炼。走路会创造奇迹。所以短文的主要是关于散步可以培养创造性思维。故选A。

B
Having
met
only
weeks
before,climbers
Edmund
Hillary
and
Tenzing
Norgay
shook
hands
before
hugging
each
other
in
a
moment
that
would
put
their
names
in
history
books
forever.
They
were
on
top
of
the
world-literally.After
five
hours
of
continuous
climbing
the
two
first
climbed
to
the
top
of
Mount
Everest,
the
highest
spot
on
Earth.
As
the
ultimate
climbing
goal
for
them
both
and
the
dream
of
most
climbers,
they
had
just
15
minutes
to
absorb
the
experience
of
being
at
8,848
metres
above
sea
level.
Any
longer
and
they
may
not
have
made
it
back
to
camp
to
tell
the
tale.
With
this
in
mind,
the
pair
spent
some
of
their
precious
minutes
searching
the
area
for
signs
of
those
who
had
been
before
them.
The
bodies
of
two
previous
Everest
hopefuls-Andrew
Irvine
and
George
Mallory
of
the
1924
attempt-were
in
the
thoughts
of
Norgay
and
Hillary.However,
they
could
find
no
sign
of
them
having
reached
the
top.
Everest
has
been
responsible
for
claiming
over
300
lives
and
endangering
many
others,
as
it
poses
huge
and
unpredictable
challenges,with
high
altitudes(海拔)putting
immense
tension
on
human
biology
and
with
its
icy
land
making
each
step
a
risk.
When
the
climbers
made
it
back
to
camp
and
the
news
spread,
global
admiration
and
fame
poured
in.
Norgay
and
Hillary
were
determined
to
be
the
first
to
conquer
the
world's
highest
mountain.
They
had
done
it.
At
the
time
they
believed
that
the
box
had
been
ticked
and
no
one
else
would
put
themselves
through
the
danger
to
repeat
their
achievement.
They
couldn't
have
been
more
wrong.
Today
hundreds
of
people
choose
to
follow
in
their
footsteps
every
year.
In
contrast
to
the
total
isolation(孤立)
felt
on
the
first
successful
journey,
during
times
of
ideal
weather
conditions,queues
form
up
to
the
mountain's
summit.
This
creates
dangerous
standstills
(停滞)in
the
mountain's
most
deadly
zones.
Whether
you
believe
these
adventurers
to
be
brave,
admirable
or
out
of
their
minds,
it
is
clear
that
Hillary
and
Norgay
have
provided
knowledge
and
inspiration
for
many
to
find
out
how
it
feels
to
truly
be
on
top
of
the
world.
4.
What
did
Edmund
Hillary
and
Tenzing
Norgay
do
on
the
top
of
the
world?
A.
They
measured
the
height
of
Mount
Everest.
B.
They
celebrated
their
victory
with
many
climbers.
C.
They
tried
to
find
signs
of
earlier
climbers.
D.
They
shared
the
experience
as
long
as
15
minutes.
5.
What
can
be
inferred
about
Andrew
Irvine
and
George
Mallory
from
the
passage?
A.
They
succeeded
in
reaching
the
top
of
Mount
Everest
first.
B.
They
lost
their
lives
in
their
attempt
to
conquer
Mount
Everest.
C.
They
were
good
friends
of
Edmund
Hillary
and
Tenzing
Norgay.
D.
They
died
because
they
didn't
return
to
their
camp
in
time.
6.

does
the
underlined
word
"immense"
in
Paragraph
3
mean?
A.
Huge.
B.
Outside.
C.
Minimum.
D.
Limited.
7.
What
will
the
present
Everest
climbers
be
likely
to
face
compared
with
Norgay
and
Hillary?
A.
More
terrible
loneliness.
B.
More
ideal
weather
conditions.
C.
More
deadly
zones.
D.
More
dangerous
stops.
【答案】4.

D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了Edmund
Hillary和Tenzing
Norgay成为成功登顶埃佛勒斯峰的事件。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话“With
this
in
mind,
the
pair
spent
some
of
their
precious
minutes
searching
the
area
for
signs
of
those
who
had
been
before
them.
”(带着这个想法，这两个人用他们宝贵的几分钟在这个区域搜寻了在他们之前来到这里的人的痕迹。)可知，Edmund
Hillary和Tenzing
Norgay尝试寻找了之前的攀登者的痕迹。故选C。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段第二句话“The
bodies
of
two
previous
Everest
hopefuls-Andrew
Irvine
and
George
Mallory
of
the
1924
attempt-were
in
the
thoughts
of
Norgay
and
Hillary.”(两个之前在1924年尝试的攀登者Andrew
Irvine和George
Mallory的尸体出现在Norgay和Hillary的脑海里)可知，Andrew
Irvine和George
Mallory是在攀登埃佛勒斯峰时死去的。故选B。
3.词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句话“Everest
has
been
responsible
for
claiming
over
300
lives
and
endangering
many
others,
as
it
poses
huge
and
unpredictable
challenges”(埃佛勒斯峰夺走了300多人的生命并使很多人濒临险境，因为它设置了巨大而不可预知的挑战)可知，极高的海拔(high
altitudes)是对人体的生理机制造成了巨大的张力，所以immense意为“巨大的”。故选A。
4.细节理解题。根据倒第二段最后一句话“
In
contrast
to
the
total
isolation(孤立)
felt
on
the
first
successful
journey,
during
times
of

to
the
mountain's
summit.
This
creates
dangerous
standstills
(停滞)in
the
mountain's
most
deadly
zones.”和第一次的成功攀登时的完全孤立不同，在理想的气候条件下，攀登者会排着队向山顶前进，这会在山上的致命地带造成停滞危险。故选D。
C
Veronica
Vorobet
learned
about
caring
in
her
home
country
of
Romania
by
nursing
her
grandparents.
In
2013,
after
their
deaths,
she
moved
to
England
to
find
a
job
using
the
freedom
provided
by
EU
(European
Union)membership.
Vorobet,
36,
is
one
of
a
quarter
of
a
million
care
workers
who
are
not
UK
citizens,
a
rising
percentage
of
whom
have
come
from
the
EU
in
recent
years.They
have
become
an
essential
part
of
a
low-paid
workforce
that
is
constantly
understaffed(人手不足的)，with
about
120,000
unoccupied
positions.
Yesterday,
she
expressed
disappointment
with
the
announcement
that
there
would
be
no
special
treatment
for
carers
coming
into
the
UK
after
Brexit
-British
exit
from
the
EU.
“I
want
to
see
people
treated
the
way
I
want
to
be
treated
and
to
make
a
difference
in
people's
lives,
making
a
feeling
of
home
for
everyone,”
she
told
the
Guardian.
“The
foreign
workers
are
important
in
this.
They
are
able
to
work
under
a
lot
of
stress
and
long
hours.
In
my
country
we
are
very
close
to
our
elderly
people
and
that
is
what
we
show
here.
We
try
to
be
close
to
them
and
respect
their
wishes."
She
said
her
approach
was
to
treat
residents
as
if
they
were
her
own
grandparents
and
provide
similar
levels
of
“support
and
love.”
When
she
arrived
in
the
UK,
Vorobet
started
as
a
junior
care
worker
on
minimum
wage
in
a
home
for
older
people
in
Petersfield,
Hampshire.
Seven
years
on
and
having
studied
for
an
NVQ
in
health
and
social
care,
she
is
a
deputy(副的)
care
manager
at
St
Anthony's
residential
care
home
in
Watford,
part
of
RMD
Care.
There
she
works
alongside
other
Romanian
people,
and
care
workers
from
Indian,
Sri
Lanka
and
Kenya.
Her
most
recent
trial
has
been
keeping
coronavirus(冠状病毒)out
of
the
home,
so
far
successfully.
She
said
that
given
the
difficulty
of
taking
on
care
workers,
European
workers
have
helped
create
stability
in
the
workforce.
Staff
turnover
rates
in
adult
social
care
currently
stand
at
about
30%
a
year.
“The
government
should
do
their
research
and
find
out
who
does
these
jobs
and
understand
the
risk
of
taking
this
decision.
The
risk
is
that
there
won't
be
enough
staff
to
look
after
the
people
in
need,"
she
said.

positions.”(36岁的Vorobet是25万非英国居民的职业护工中的一位，来自欧盟的职业护工所占百分比最近一直在上升。他们已经成为长期人手不足且低工资劳动力中必不可少的部分，目前仍有120,000个职位，无人从事。)可推知，作者通过列举这些数据说明了来自国外的职业护工的重要性，再通过列举“with
about
120,000
unoccupied
positions”，这么多无人从事的职位，说明了虽然这些职业护工比重很大，但是还有这么多职位空缺，进一步强调了国外护工的重要性。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段Vorobet所说的话“They
are
able
to
work
under
a
lot
of
stress
and
long
hours.
In
my
country
we
are
very
close
to
our
elderly
people
and
that
is
what
we
show
here.
We
try
to
be
close
to
them
and
respect
their
wishes.”(他们能够在强压下工作很长时间。在他们自己的国家，他们亲近老人，在这里也是一样。他们努力地亲近老人并且尊重他们的意愿。)可知，Vorobet认为这些护工非常努力工作并且很体贴。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Yesterday,
she
expressed
disappointment
with
the
announcement
that
there
would
be
no
special
treatment
for
carers
coming
into
the
UK
after
Brexit
-British
exit
from
the
EU.”(昨天，她表达了对这个公告的失望，公告指出，在英国退出欧盟后，对于来到英国的护工，不会有特殊的待遇。)和最后一段中“The
government
should
do
their
research
and
find
out
who
does
these
jobs
and
understand
the
risk
of
taking
this
decision.
The
risk
is
that
there
won't
be
enough
staff
to
look
after
the
people
in
need”(政府应当研究一下，搞清楚是谁做了这些工作，并且要知道这个决定的风险。风险就是，将没有足够的人员来照看那些需要照顾的人。)可知，这个决定是由政府作出的，并且这个决定会造成劳动力缺失。由此可知，this
decision就是上文政府发出的公告，即外来护工不会有特殊待遇。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。本文第二段通过列举数据表明了来自欧盟的护工的重要地位。第三段通过政府公告表述了这些护工的待遇。第四，五，六段描述了这些护工的工作情况以及贡献。综上可知，本文主要目的是向我们展示了这些欧盟护工目前的情况。故选B项。

In
2015,
researchers
from
Australia's
Deakin
University
published
one
of
the
first
studies
measuring
food's
physical
effect
on
the
left
hippocampus(海马体),
a
seahorse-shaped
brain
region
crucial
for
memory,
learning,
and
decision
making.
It
is
also
one
of
the
first
areas
to
shrink
in
people
with
Alzheimer's
disease
and
other
forms
of
dementia
(痴呆).255
people
filled
out
diet
surveys
and
then
underwent
MRI
scans(磁共振扫描成像)
that
measured
their
brains.
Four
years
later,
they
returned
for
another
scan
in
response
to
a
request
from
the
researchers.
The
study
found
that
the
left
hippocampus
was
bigger
and
heavier
in
the
healthy
eaters
than
in
the
unhealthy
ones,
regardless
of
age,
sex,
weight,
exercise
habits,
or
general
health.
That
means
eating
the
right
foods
and
skipping
the
wrong
stuff
could
help
protect
against
declines
in
thinking
and
memory
that
lead
to
dementia.
Healthy
eating
doesn't
just
prevent
brain
decline.
It
raises
scores
on
thinking
and
memory
tests,
according
to
a
study
published
in
March
2019
that
tracked
2,621
American
women
and
men
for
30
years."Green
leafy
vegetables
have
good
effects
that
may
protect
both
females
and
males
against
cognitive(认知的)decline
and
dementia,"
says
lead
researcher
Claire
McEvoy,
RD,
of
the
Centre
for
Public
Health
at
Queen's
University
Belfast
in
Northern
Ireland.
Even
a
little
healthy
food
goes
a
long
way.
According
to
a
2018
Rush
University
study
that
tracked
960
people
for
4.7
years
participants
who
ate
just
1.3
extra
servings
of
green
leafy
vegetables
a
day
showed
cognitive
abilities
similar
to
those
of
people
11
years
younger.
How
are
these
power
foods
working
with
your
brain
cells?
Animal
and
test-tube
experiments
suggest
that
compounds
in
healthy
diets
help
new
cells
make
copies
of
DNA
when
they
divide
and
multiply.
Meanwhile,
high-fat,
high-sugar
processed
foods
harm
brain
cells.
While
food
serves
as
an
important
brain
protector,
experts
say
brain
supplements(补品)aren't
all
that
effective.
Studies
show
that
they
don't
make
brain
cells
active
in
a
significantly
positive
way.＂Let
the
buyer
be
cautious,"
says
David
Hogan,
MD,
a
specialist
at
the
University
of
Calgary.A
study
of
nootropics(益智药)
in
the
November
2019
Journal
of
the
American
Medical
Association
revealed
that
the
unapproved
drug-piracetam(乙酰胺吡咯烷酮)
was
found
in
four
out
of
five
brands
tested,
at
levels
that
could
cause
side
effects
such
as
depression.
12.
Why
did
the
researchers
have
the
255
people
return
for
another
MRI
scan
four
years
later?
A.
To
test
whether
they
had
Alzheimer's
disease.
B.
To
see
what
effects
diets
had
on
the
left
hippocampus.
C.
To
study
how
they
kept
healthy
in
the
four
years.
D.
To
deepen
their
research
into
Alzheimer's
disease.
13.
What
can
we
infer
from
Paragraph
2?
A.
Healthy
eating
helps
to
reduce
the
risk
of
dementia.
B.
Unhealthy
diet
is
a
major
contributing
factor
in
cognitive
decline.
C.
Age
and
sex
have
nothing
to
do
with
our
general
health.
D.
Plant-based
diets
have
greater
effects
on
women
than
men.
14.
Which
of
the
following
would
David
Hogan
most
probably
agree
with?
A.
Brain
supplements
are
as
helpful
as
healthy
diets.
B.
We'd
better
take
brain
supplements
for
convenience.
C.
We
should
be
careful
when
taking
brain
supplements.
D.
Brain
supplements
have
as
many
side
effects
as
processed
foods.

What
might
be
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A.
Yes

Green
Leafy
Vegetables
B.
Yes

a
winning
formula
for
young
families
with
its
expanding
Thomas
Land
section.
The
286-acre
site

sits
in
140
acres
of
attractive
parkland.
Although
overshadowed
by
Thorpe
Park
and
Alton
Towers
in

happy.
Now
in
its
third
decade,
set
in
lovely
grounds,
the
theme
park
still
has
some
of
the
charm
of
the
original
Danish
parent
park,
with
plenty
of
giraffes,
crocodiles
and
pirates
made
out
of
Lego
bricks
spread
over
the
rides.

B
It
happened
again
last
week.One
of
my
relatives
asked
me,
“My
dear
girl,
you
work
in
oncology(肿瘤科)？
Isn't
that
depressing?”
I
have
heard
those
questions
many
times
as
an
oncology
nurse
and
my
response
is
always
the
same.I
tell
them
no,and
that
I
love
it.And
then
I
smile.
I
work
in
the
Bone
Marrow
Transplant
Unit
at
North
Shore
University
Hospital.Together
with
my
colleagues,we
get
to
know
most
of
our
patients
very
well.We
learn
about
their
likes
and
dislikes.We
get
to
meet
their
families
and
they
take
pictures
of
us.They
tell
us
about
a
favorite
vacation
they
once
took
and
they
wish
us
a
good
time
when
we
are
leaving
for
one.They
also
tell
us
to
enjoy
every
moment
of
the
day
because
we
never
know
when
life
is
going
to
change.
I
am
thinking
of
a
recent
experience
we
had
with
our
patient
Jim,a
middle-aged
man
who
is
always
expecting
good
things
to
happen
and
hopeful
about
the
future.He
was
diagnosed
with
liver
cancer
a
year
ago
and
was
facing
the
real
possibility
that
he
did
not
have
a
long
time
to
live.But
Jim
voluntarily
made
up
his
mind
to
try
for
some
very
experimental
treatments,
even
though
the
pain
was
almost
too
great
to
tolerate.
Eventually,Jim's
disease
went
into
remission.It
is
Easter
Sunday
now
and
he
is
home
with
his
family.Jim
got
a
miracle.An
important
reason
why
I
work
in
oncology
is
that
sometimes,
not
usually,
not
even
very
often,
miracles
do
happen.And
when
they
do,I
am
filled
with
gratitude
and
pride
that
as
a
nurse,I
can
be
a
part
of
that
miraculous
process.
Now
you
know
why
I
smile
when
people
ask
me
if
I
find
oncology
nursing
to
be
sad
or
disappointing.I
recall
all
the
miracles
I
have
seen
and
I
remember
what
my
patients
have
told
me
and
I
can't
help
but
smile.

miracle.
(现在是复活节，他和他的家人在家里。Jim是一个奇迹。)”并结合第三段内容可知，Jim起初病重，现在得到了缓解和改善。由此可知，went
into
remission意为“开始改善”。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段和第四段可知，Jim由起初病重，面临着生命即将结束的现实可能性，但是他积极尝试实验性的治疗，到最终得到了缓解和改善并和家人在一起。从Jim的经历中我们可以学到：乐观者在每一场灾难中都能看到机遇。故选D。
C
The
aviation
(航空)
industry
is
currently
responsible
for
about
2
percent
of
global
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
This
figure
is
set
to
grow
as
air
travel
becomes
increasingly
popular.
However,
efforts
to
reduce
the
effects
of
aviation
are
moving
at
a
very
slow
pace.
Electric
and
solar-powered
airliners
are
reportedly
in
development
at
Wright
Electric
and
Airbus
among
others,
but
battery
technology
still
falls
behind
jet
fuels.
The
surprising
effects
of
aviation
are
why
a
number
of
people
are
choosing
to
quit,
or
hugely
restrict,
flying.
While
“staying
grounded”,
as
activists
call
it,
might
not
make
the
biggest
difference
to
your
carbon
footprint—a
study
last
summer
found
that
cutting
meat,
eggs
and
dairy
was
the
best
thing
people
can
do
for
the
planet—it
can
still
make
a
huge
difference.
Zoe
Hatch,
who
lives
in
Maidenhead,
stopped
flying
in
2015
after
reading
up
on
climate
change.
Her
husband
and
their
two
children,
11
and
15,
joined
her
in
a
family
decision
to
switch
to
slow
travel.
Hatch
hasn’t
found
it
inconvenient
or
expensive,
she
says.
She
uses
apps
to
find
affordable
train
tickets.
Being
connected
to
continental
Europe
by
the
Eurostar
train
makes
it
relatively
easy
to
travel
abroad
without
needing
to
fly.
Steve
Melia,
Ph.D,
an
expert
in
sustainable
transportation,
stopped
flying
in
2005.
He
agrees
that
individual
change,
in
itself,
won’t
prevent
climate
crisis.
“The
sort
of
rapid
change
we
need
to
avoid
the
collapse
of
the
ecosystem
through
climate
change—that’s
not
going
to
come
about
by
people
voluntarily
choosing
to
change
their
behavior,”
he
added.
Melia
adds
that
it’s
important
that
people
who
feel
the
need
to
quit
don’t
talk
themselves
out
of
it.
“If
we
are
going
to
achieve
the
sort
of
rapid
change
that
is
necessary,
some
people
have
to
initiate
(倡议)
that
change,
and
if
all
of
the
people
who
might
be
initiating
change
are
themselves
flying
and
convincing
themselves
that
they
can’t
live
without
flying,
then
where’s
the
initiative
for
change
going
to
come
from?”
he
asked.

A.
Some
people
quit
flying
due
to
financial
factors.
B.
There
is
still
a
long
way

go
for
electric
airlines.
