B
I
have
a
memory
of
being
about
five
years
old,
picking
up
a
beautiful
grilled(烧烤的）
cheese
sandwich
made
for
me
by
my
hard
—working
mother
and
turning
it
over
to
see
that
the
other
side
was
burned.
Suddenly
what
I
thought
was
the
perfect
sandwich
was
not
so
perfect.
Mom
had
tried
to
hide
that
fact
from
me.
There
was
no
question;
I
ate
it
anyway
without
complaining.
However,
that
moment
has
stuck
in
my
mind
for
many
years.
Now,
at
the
age
of
43
as
a
mother
of
two
children
and
as
a
biology
professor
where
I
am
routinely
the
"academic
mother"
of
hundreds
of
students
every
year,I
find
that
I
believe
in
The
Grilled
Cheese
Principle.Here
is
what
I
mean
Making
a
grilled
cheese
sandwich
is
easy
right?
But
when
I
think
of
how
many
burned
grilled
cheese
sandwiches
I
have
eaten,
or
I
have
made
myself,
I
realize
that
most
of
the
grilled
cheese
sandwiches
I
have
known
have
had
at
least
one
burned
side.
The
thing
is
that
although
it
is
a
relatively
easy
thing
to
make,
I
can
also
easily
lose
focus,
and
before
long
the
sandwich
is
burned.
For
my
mother,
the
first
side
was
usually
perfect
and
the
second
side
got
burned
due
to
her
being
distracted.
For
me,I
have
tended
to
burn
the
first
side,but
then
I
more
carefully
monitor
the
second
side.Either
way,the
grilled
cheese
sandwich
suffers
because
it
has
not
been
given
the
attention
it
deserves
So,
I
have
learned
that
even
the
simplest
task
deserves
my
full
attention.
When
I
am
multi-tasking,
I
am
doing
none
of
the
tasks
well.
And
when
I
allow
myself
to
be
distracted,
I
am
not
in
the
present
moment
—
not
paying
attention
to
the
small
details
of
living
or
enjoying
the
process
So
now,
I
believe
the
best
way
to
make
a
perfect
grilled
cheese
sandwich
is
to
make
only
one
at
a
time
and
give
it
my
full
attention.

complaints
B.

showed
no
interest.

She
thought
it
was

impressed
with
it
5.
What
does
The
Grilled
Cheese
Principle
mean?

Even
simple
things
deserve
full
attention
B.
Losing
focus
makes
the
sandwich
burned
C.

burned
D.

should
make
only
one
sandwich
at
a
time
6.

A.
Nothing

perfect
B.
Learn
to

sandwiches
C.
Devote
yourself
to
one

D.
Never
do
multi-tasks
C
Hardware
in
general,and
smartphones
in
particular,have
become
a
huge
environmental
and
health
problem
in
the
Global
South's
landfill
sites(垃圾填埋场).
Electronic
waste(e-waste)
currently
takes
up
5
percent
of
all
global
waste,and
it
is
set
to
increase
rapidly
as
more
of
us
own
more
than
one
smartphone,laptop
and
power
bank
They
end
up
in
places
like
Agbogbloshie
on
the
outskirts
of
Ghana's
capital,Accra.
It
is
the
biggest
e-waste
dump
in
the
world,where
10,000
informal
workers
walk
through
tons
of
abandoned
goods
as
part
of
an
informal
recycling
process.They
risk
their
health
searching
for
the
precious
metals
that
are
found
in
abandoned
smartphones.
But
Agbogbloshie
should
not
exist.The
Basel
Convention,a
1989
treaty,aims
to
prevent
developed
nations
from
unauthorized
dumping
of
e-waste
in
less
developed
countries.The
e-waste
industry,however,circumvents
regulations
by
exporting
e-waste
labelled
as
"secondhand
goods'
to
poor
countries
like
Ghana,knowing
full
well
hat
it
is
heading
for
a
landfill
site.
A
recent
report
found
Agbogbloshie
contained
some
of
the
most
dangerous
chemicals.This
is
not
surprising:
smartphones
contain
chemicals
like
mercury（水银）,lead
and
even
arsenic(砷).Reportedly,
one
egg
from
a
free-range
chicken
in
Agbogbloshie
contained
a
certain
chemical
which
can
cause
cancer
and
damage
the
immune
system
at
a
level
that's
about
220
times
greater
than
a
limit
set
by
the
European
Food
Safety
Authority(EFSA).Most
worryingly,these
poisonous
chemicals
are
free
to
pollute
the
broader
soil
and
water
system.This
should
concern
us
all,
since
some
of
Ghana's
top
exports
are
cocoa
and
nuts.
Some
governments
have
started
to
take
responsibility
for
their
consumers'
waste.For
example,Germany
has
started
a
project
that
includes
a
sustainable
recycling
system
at
Agbogbloshie,along
with
a
health
clinic
for
workers.However,governments
cannot
solve
the
problem
alone,
as
there
is
an
almost
limitless
consumer
demand
for
hardware,especially
when
governments'
green
policies
are
focused
on
issues
like
climate
change.
Only
the
manufacturers
can
fix
this.A
more
economically
sustainable
and
politically
possible
solution
is
through
encouraging
hardware
manufacturers
to
make
the
repair,
reuse
and
recycling
of
hardware
profitable,or
at
least
cost-neutral
8.
What
can
we
infer
from
Paragraph
2?

Electronic
waste
requires
more
landfill
sites
across
Ghana.
B.
Electronic
waste
is
too
complex
to
get
fully
recycle
C.
Electronic
products
need
to
be
improved
urgently
D.
Electronic
pollution
is
a
burning
question
in
Agbogbloshie
9.
What
does
the
underlined
word
"circumvents"in
Paragraph
3
mean?
A.
Abolishes
B.
Tightens
C.
Brings
in
D.
Gets
around
10.
What
should
be
the
best
concern
according
to
the
text?
A.
The
thread
of
polluted
food
around
the
world
B.
The
damage
of
chicken’s
immune
system
C.
The
lack
of
diversity
in
Ghana's
exports
D.
The
violation
of
EFSA's
standards
11.

does
the
author
think
is
the
best
solution
to
the
e-waste
problem?
A.
Manufacturers'
developing
a
sustainable
hardware
economy
B.
Governments’
adjusting
their
green
policies
about
e-waste.
C.
Reducing
customers'
demands
for
electronic
products
D.
Manufacturers’
urging
the
government
to
make
effective
policies
to
ensure
more
profit.
D
It
might
have
been
Jimmy
Kimmel,
or
any
other
sharp-tongued
talk
show
hosts
of
late-night
TV.
In
this
instance,
it
was
Samantha
Bee,
stating
her
opposition
to
childhood
vaccinations
humorously.
“Who
are
you
going
to
believe?”
she
asked.
“Leading
authorities
on
medical
science,
or
800
comments
on
your
cousin’s
Facebook
page?”
Joking
about
science
can
have
serious
effects,
according
to
studies
by
communication
scholars.
Accordingly,
since
2013,
Paul,
a
psychological
professor,
has
conducted
studies
of
how
satire
(讥讽)
can
influence
people’s
beliefs
about
science,
which
have
shown
that
if
you
want
to
interest
people
in
science
and
shape
their
views
on
hot-button
science
issues,
satirical
humor
can
work
better.
Many
Americans
pay
little
attention
to
science.
Even
people
who
regularly
watch
TV
news
receive
only
scraps
of
science
information
in
their
media
diet,
because
mainstream
media
outlets
devote
so
little
airtime
to
the
subject.
On
top
of
that,
some
Americans
may
regard
science
as
inaccessible.
Yet
satirical
humor
can
reach
viewers
who
would
never
watch
NOVA
or
read
—
well,
National
Geographic.
Millions
of
people
watch
late-night
television
programs
live,
and
videos
of
these
shows
get
millions
of
views
on
streaming
services.
In
2016,
a
vote
conducted
by
the
University
of
Delaware
Center
indicated
that
nearly
one
in
10
said
they
learned
about
science
from
late-night
television
shows.
Late-night
hosts
may
occasionally
poke
fun
at
scientists.
More
often,
however,
the
hosts
promote
a
positive
image
of
science.
By
making
science
entertaining
to
audience
with
little
knowledge
of
the
topic,
late-night
television
could
spark
science
engagement.
Furthermore,
the
researchers
concluded
that
satirical
shows
had
the
biggest
impact
among
the
least
educated
viewers,
thus
helping
to
narrow
a
gap
in
attention
to
science.
Though
late-night
satirical
humor
can
boost
science
interest
and
awareness,
it
has
its
limits.
Science
is
complex,
and
conveying
that
complexity
in
a
few
minutes
while
telling
jokes
can
be
a
challenge.
12.
What
does
Paul’s
studies
of
joking
about
science
indicate?
A.
It
may
do
serious
damage
to
science.
B.
It
can
effectively
popularize
science.
C.
It
totally
changes
people’s
attitude
to
science.
D.
It
will
shift
people’s
attention
from
entertainment
to
science.
13.
Why
do
TV
watchers
receive
a
little
science
information?
A.
Because
they
enjoy
watching
entertainments.
B.
Because
science
is
not
easy
to
come
up
with.
C.
Because
they
find
no
interest
in
science
issues.
D.
Because
science
is
scarcely
seen
on
mainstream
media.
14.
What
do
we
know
about
the
late-night
shows
involving
science?
A.
The
hosts
get
used
to
playing
tricks
on
scientists.
B.
The
hosts’
aim
is
to
build
a
positive
image
of
science.
C.
Education
gap
can
be
bridged
through
late-night
shows.
D.
Science
participation
can
be
promoted
among
their
viewers.
15.
What’s
the
author’s
attitude
towards
combining
science
with
satire?
A.
Critical.
B.
Objective.
C.
Positive.
D.

第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
You
can
run
pretty
much
anywhere,
with
pretty
much
no
equipment.
So
it
must
be
easy
to
start-just
put
one
foot
in
front
of
the
other,
right?
Not
quite.
Starting
a
new
training
program,
like
most
things,
is
stepping
into
unfamiliar
area.
___16___
.
Most
people
start
out
too
hard,
which
leads
to
unnecessary
tiredness
and
possible
injury;
or
they
just
bum
out,
feeling
that
the
last
thing
they
want
to
do
is
go
out
for
another
heavy,
painful
run.
Getting
past
that
early
period
is
the
key
to
both
running's
benefits
and
pleasures.
___17___
You
may
want
to
start
running
to
make
your
heart
stronger,
to
up
your
endurance
for
other
sports,
or
even
just
to
fit
into
your
tux（晚礼服,）again.
Those
are
all
worthy
goals
and
setting
them
is
a
valuable
aid
to
getting
where
you
want
to
go.
If
you
like
a
challenge,
your
goal
might
be
running
the
local
5K,
or
something
more
ambitious,
like
finishing
a
Tough
Mudder
obstacle
run
or
qualifying
for
the
Boston
Marathon.
A
typical
beginner
who
trains
properly—without
overdoing
it
—
can
safely
finish
a
5K
after
about
three
months.
___18___
Whatever
you
decide
to
aim
for,
committing
to
it
will
help
your
progress
greatly.
___19___
.
While
a
short,
easy
run
a
few
times
a
week
is
better
than
nothing,
it's
not
nearly
as
exciting
as
looking
up
at
—
then
reaching
—
the
next
level.
Then
don't
get
ahead
of
yourself.
___20___
.
And
gradually
you
can
become
a
good
run
beginner.
A.
Figure
out
why
you're
running.
B.
The
new
training
program
will
pay
off.
C.
And
it
is
possible
for
a
marathon
after
a
year.
D.
Otherwise
you
tend
to
make
no
further
progress.
E.
That
is
a
remarkable
achievement
for
a
run
beginner.
F.
You
should
resist
the
urge
to
run
too
hard,
too
much,
or
too
often.
G.
You're
eager
but
unsure,
excited
but
potentially
easy
to
make
errors.

___25___
him
here?
He
just
sat
there,
apparently
___26___
,
and
sort
of
looked
at
me

a
look,
like
helping
me
out

my
suffering.
At
a(n)
___27___
look,
I

long
cut
at
his
back
with
bloods,
___28___

something
sharp

way.
I
rushed

some
iodophor（碘伏药水）,
It

my

the

A
light
knock
on
the
door
brought
me
from
my
kitchen.
Because
we
had
just
moved
into
a
new
neighborhood,
I
couldn’t
imagine
who
it
would
be.
When
I
opened
the
door,
an
old
man
stood
there,
who
was
dressed
in
dirty
clothes
and
wearing
dirty
rubber
boots.
His
hand
hung
a
plastic
bag.
“Can
I
help
you?”
I
asked.
“Would
you
like
to
buy
some
fresh
garden
vegetables?”
he
said,
his
blue
eyes
full
of
hope.
“Are
they
from
your
garden?”
I
looked
inside
his
plastic
bag
and
saw
some
carrots
with
soil.
“Yes,”
his
voice
was
soft.
“And
I
can
get
some
apples
from
a
tree
in
my
yard.
Would
you
like
some
of
those,
too?
”
My
heart
softened,
and
I
wondered
if
he
was
badly
in
need
of
quite
a
bit
of
money.
With
a
sigh(叹息)
I
said,
“Please
step
inside
and
I’ll
get
my
money.
”
The
next
day,
he
knocked
at
our
door
again.
This
time,
my
little
four-year-old
daughter
got
there
first.
“Oh,
hello.
Would
you
like
to
come
in
for
tea?
”
Without
a
second
thought,
the
old
man
stepped
inside
and
held
out
a
broken
basket
with
several
bruised(擦伤的)
apples.
“From
my
tree,”
he
said,
removing
a
worn
cap.
“You
might
like
to
make
apple
pie.”
The
three
of
us
sat
at
the
kitchen
table
and
drank
our
tea.
It
was
clear
that
my
daughter
liked
hosting
a
visitor
in
her
never-ending
questions.
“What
is
your
name?
Where
do
you
live?
Why
are
your
clothes
so
dirty?”
The
homeless-looking
man
laughed
as
he
answered
each
question.
His
name
was
Mr.
Locket
and
he
lived
around
the
corner.
His
wife
had
passed
away
several
years
before,
and
his
children
all
lived
far
away.
He
was
lonely.
His
need
for
company(陪伴)
had
sent
him
door
to
door
selling
fruit
and
vegetables.
Ours
was
the
only
door
opened
to
him.
Paragraph
1:
When
he
finished
the
tea,
he
said
he
had
to
go
home
and
promised
to
return
the
next
day.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph
2:
Several
years
later,
a
small
envelope
was
delivered
to
our
home
—
a
letter
from
the
old
man’s
daughter.

B
I
have
a
memory
of
being
about
five
years
old,
picking
up
a
beautiful
grilled(烧烤的）
cheese
sandwich
made
for
me
by
my
hard
—working
mother
and
turning
it
over
to
see
that
the
other
side
was
burned.
Suddenly
what
I
thought
was
the
perfect
sandwich
was
not
so
perfect.
Mom
had
tried
to
hide
that
fact
from
me.
There
was
no
question;
I
ate
it
anyway
without
complaining.
However,
that
moment
has
stuck
in
my
mind
for
many
years.
Now,
at
the
age
of
43
as
a
mother
of
two
children
and
as
a
biology
professor
where
I
am
routinely
the
"academic
mother"
of
hundreds
of
students
every
year,I
find
that
I
believe
in
The
Grilled
Cheese
Principle.Here
is
what
I
mean
Making
a
grilled
cheese
sandwich
is
easy
right?
But
when
I
think
of
how
many
burned
grilled
cheese
sandwiches
I
have
eaten,
or
I
have
made
myself,
I
realize
that
most
of
the
grilled
cheese
sandwiches
I
have
known
have
had
at
least
one
burned
side.
The
thing
is
that
although
it
is
a
relatively
easy
thing
to
make,
I
can
also
easily
lose
focus,
and
before
long
the
sandwich
is
burned.
For
my
mother,
the
first
side
was
usually
perfect
and
the
second
side
got
burned
due
to
her
being
distracted.
For
me,I
have
tended
to
burn
the
first
side,but
then
I
more
carefully
monitor
the
second
side.Either
way,the
grilled
cheese
sandwich
suffers
because
it
has
not
been
given
the
attention
it
deserves
So,
I
have
learned
that
even
the
simplest
task
deserves
my
full
attention.
When
I
am
multi-tasking,
I
am
doing
none
of
the
tasks
well.
And
when
I
allow
myself
to
be
distracted,
I
am
not
in
the
present
moment
—
not
paying
attention
to
the
small
details
of
living
or
enjoying
the
process
So
now,
I
believe
the
best
way
to
make
a
perfect
grilled
cheese
sandwich
is
to
make
only
one
at
a
time
and
give
it
my
full
attention.

How
did
the
writer
react
to
the
sandwich
with
burned
side?
A.
She
ate
it
with
some
complaints
B.
She
showed
no
interest.
C.
She
thought
it
was
still
perfect
D.
She
was
deeply
impressed
with
it
5.
What
does
The
Grilled
Cheese
Principle
mean?
A.
Even
simple
things
deserve
full
attention
B.
Losing
focus
makes
the
sandwich
burned
C.
Self-made
sandwiches
are
always
burned
D.
we
should
make
only
one
sandwich
at
a
time
6.
Which
of
the
following
can
we
infer
from
the
passage?
A.
Everything
cannot
be
done
well
without
full
attention
B.
Moms
always
like
to
lie
to
kids
when
they
have
done
something
wrong
C.
We
can
lose
focus
more
easily
when
we
do
easy
things
D.
Multi-tasking
can
be
an
obstacle
to
the
achievement
of
tasks.
7.
What
does
the
writer
mainly
want
to
tell
us?
A.
Nothing
is
perfect
B.
Learn
to
appreciate
the
burned
sandwiches
C.

thing

【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述作者通过自己做烤奶酪三明治的经历明白了一个道理：即使是简单的事情也需要全神贯注。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段第五句“However,
that
moment
has
stuck
in
my
mind
for
many
years(然而，那一刻已经在我脑海中萦绕了很多年)”可知，做烤焦的三明治让作者印象深刻。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段第一句“So,
I
have
learned
that
even
the
simplest
task
deserves
my
full
attention.(所以，我学到了一个道理——即使是简单的事情也需要全神贯注)”可知“The
Grilled
Cheese
Principle(烤奶酪原则)”是指即使是简单的事情也需要全神贯注。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So
now,
I
believe
the
best
way
to
make
a
perfect
grilled
cheese
sandwich
is
to
make
only
one
at
a
time
and
give
it
my
full
attention(所以现在，我相信做一个完美的烤奶酪三明治就是一次只做一个，并且要全神贯注地做)”可推知，一次做多个任务可能会是完成任务的障碍。选D。

C
Hardware
in
general,and
smartphones
in
particular,have
become
a
huge
environmental
and
health
problem
in
the
Global
South's
landfill
sites(垃圾填埋场).
Electronic
waste(e-waste)
currently
takes
up
5
percent
of
all
global
waste,and
it
is
set
to
increase
rapidly
as
more
of
us
own
more
than
one
smartphone,laptop
and
power
bank
They
end
up
in
places
like
Agbogbloshie
on
the
outskirts
of
Ghana's
capital,Accra.
It
is
the
biggest
e-waste
dump
in
the
world,where
10,000
informal
workers
walk
through
tons
of
abandoned
goods
as
part
of
an
informal
recycling
process.They
risk
their
health
searching
for
the
precious
metals
that
are
found
in
abandoned
smartphones.
But
Agbogbloshie
should
not
exist.The
Basel
Convention,a
1989
treaty,aims
to
prevent
developed
nations
from
unauthorized
dumping
of
e-waste
in
less
developed
countries.The
e-waste
industry,however,circumvents
regulations
by
exporting
e-waste
labelled
as
"secondhand
goods'
to
poor
countries
like
Ghana,knowing
full
well
hat
it
is
heading
for
a
landfill
site.
A
recent
report
found
Agbogbloshie
contained
some
of
the
most
dangerous
chemicals.This
is
not
surprising:
smartphones
contain
chemicals
like
mercury（水银）,lead
and
even
arsenic(砷).Reportedly,
one
egg
from
a
free-range
chicken
in
Agbogbloshie
contained
a
certain
chemical
which
can
cause
cancer
and
damage
the
immune
system
at
a
level
that's
about
220
times
greater
than
a
limit
set
by
the
European
Food
Safety
Authority(EFSA).Most
worryingly,these
poisonous
chemicals
are
free
to
pollute
the
broader
soil
and
water
system.This
should
concern
us
all,
since
some
of
Ghana's
top
exports
are
cocoa
and
nuts.
Some
governments
have
started
to
take
responsibility
for
their
consumers'
waste.For
example,Germany
has
started
a
project
that
includes
a
sustainable
recycling
system
at
Agbogbloshie,along
with
a
health
clinic
for
workers.However,governments
cannot
solve
the
problem
alone,
as
there
is
an
almost
limitless
consumer
demand
for
hardware,especially
when
governments'
green
policies
are
focused
on
issues
like
climate
change.
Only
the
manufacturers
can
fix
this.A
more
economically
sustainable
and
politically
possible
solution
is
through
encouraging
hardware
manufacturers
to
make
the
repair,
reuse
and
recycling
of
hardware
profitable,or
at
least
cost-neutral

What
can
we
infer
from
Paragraph
2?
A.
Electronic
waste
requires
more
landfill
sites
across
Ghana.
B.
Electronic
waste
is
too
complex
to
get
fully

C.
Electronic
products
need
to
be
improved
urgently
D.
Electronic
pollution
is
a
burning
question
in
Agbogbloshie
9.
What
does
the
underlined
word
"circumvents"in
Paragraph
3
mean?
A.
Abolishes
B.
Tightens
C.
Brings

D.
Gets
around
10.
What
should
be
the
best
concern
according
to
the
text?
A.
The
thread
of
polluted
food
around
the
world
B.
The
damage
of
chicken’s
immune
system
C.
The
lack
of
diversity
in
Ghana's
exports
D.
The
violation
of
EFSA's
standards
11.
What
does
the
author
think
is
the
best
solution
to
the
e-waste
problem?
A.
Manufacturers'
developing
a
sustainable
hardware
economy
B.
Governments’
adjusting
their
green
policies
about
e-waste.
C.
Reducing
customers'
demands

capital,
Accra.(目前，电子垃圾占全球垃圾总量的5%，而且随着越来越多的人拥有不止一台智能手机、笔记本电脑和移动电源，这一比例还将迅速上升。它们最终在加纳首都阿克拉郊区的阿伯布拉西等地落脚)”可推知，随着电子垃圾的快速增长，阿伯布拉西地区的电子污染是一个严峻的问题。故选D。
9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的句子“But
Agbogbloshie
should
not
exist.
The
Basel
Convention,
a
1989
treaty,
aims
to
prevent
developed
nations
from
unauthorized
dumping
of
e-waste
in
less
developed
countries(但是阿伯布拉西不应该存在。1989年签署的《巴家尔公约》旨在防止发达国家来经授权向欠发达国家倾倒电子垃圾)”可知划线词所在的句子意思是发达国家打着向发展中国家出口“二手物品”的幌子将电子垃圾转移到发展中国家来避开《巴塞尔公约》的规定，可推知划线词的意思为“避开、躲避”。A.
Abolishes废除；B.
Tightens拉紧；C.
Brings
in引进；D.
Gets
around避开、绕过。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Most
worryingly,
these
poisonous
chemicals
are
free
to
pollute
the
broader
soil
and
water
system.
This
should
concern
us
all,
since
some
of
Ghana's
top
exports
are
cocoa
and
nuts.(最令人担忧的是，这些有毒的化学物质可随意更污染广阔的土壤和水系统。这应该引起我们所有人的关注，因为加纳的一些主要出口产品是可可和坚果)”可知，加纳大量对外出口可可和坚果，所以全球范围内都会受到被污染食物的威胁。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Only
the
manufacturers
can
fix
this.
A
more
economically
sustainable
and
politically
possible
solution
is
through
encouraging
hardware
manufacturers
to
make
the
repair,
reuse
and
recycling
of
hardware
profitable,
or
at
least
cost-neutral(只有制造商才能解决这个问题。一个经济上更可持续、政治上更可行的解决方案是，鼓励硬件制造商使硬件的维修、再利用和回收变得有利可图，或者至少不影响成本)”可知，作者认为解决电子垃圾问题的关键在于硬件生产商，他们应该遵守可持续发展的原则，生产便于维修、可回收利用的电子产品。故选A。
D
It
might
have
been
Jimmy
Kimmel,
or
any
other
sharp-tongued
talk
show
hosts
of
late-night
TV.
In
this
instance,
it
was
Samantha
Bee,
stating
her
opposition
to
childhood
vaccinations
humorously.
“Who
are
you
going
to
believe?”
she
asked.
“Leading
authorities
on
medical
science,
or
800

on
your

Facebook

Joking
about
science
can
have
serious
effects,
according
to
studies
by
communication
scholars.
Accordingly,
since
2013,
Paul,
a
psychological
professor,
has
conducted
studies
of
how
satire
(讥讽)
can
influence
people’s
beliefs
about
science,
which
have
shown
that
if
you
want
to
interest
people
in
science
and
shape
their
views
on
hot-button
science
issues,
satirical
humor
can
work
better.
Many
Americans
pay
little
attention
to
science.
Even
people
who
regularly
watch
TV
news
receive
only
scraps
of
science
information
in
their
media
diet,
because
mainstream
media
outlets
devote
so
little
airtime
to
the
subject.
On
top
of
that,
some
Americans
may
regard
science
as
inaccessible.
Yet
satirical
humor
can
reach
viewers
who
would
never
watch
NOVA
or
read
—
well,
National
Geographic.
Millions
of
people
watch
late-night
television
programs
live,
and
videos
of
these
shows
get
millions
of
views
on
streaming
services.
In
2016,
a
vote
conducted
by
the
University
of
Delaware
Center
indicated
that
nearly
one
in
10
said
they
learned
about
science
from
late-night
television
shows.
Late-night
hosts
may
occasionally
poke
fun
at
scientists.
More
often,
however,
the
hosts
promote
a
positive
image
of
science.
By
making
science
entertaining
to
audience
with
little
knowledge
of
the
topic,
late-night
television
could
spark
science
engagement.
Furthermore,
the
researchers
concluded
that
satirical
shows
had
the
biggest
impact
among
the
least
educated
viewers,
thus
helping
to
narrow
a
gap
in
attention
to
science.
Though
late-night
satirical
humor
can
boost
science
interest
and
awareness,
it
has
its
limits.
Science
is
complex,
and
conveying
that
complexity
in
a
few
minutes
while
telling
jokes
can
be
a
challenge.
12.
What
does
Paul’s
studies
of
joking
about
science
indicate?
A.
It
may
do
serious
damage
to
science.
B.
It
can
effectively
popularize
science.
C.
It
totally
changes
people’s
attitude
to
science.
D.
It
will
shift
people’s
attention
from
entertainment
to
science.
13.
Why
do
TV
watchers
receive
a
little
science
information?
A.
Because
they
enjoy
watching
entertainments.
B.
Because
science
is
not
easy
to
come
up
with.
C.
Because
they
find
no
interest
in
science
issues.
D.
Because
science
is
scarcely
seen
on
mainstream
media.
14.
What
do
we
know
about
the
late-night
shows
involving
science?
A.
The
hosts
get
used
to
playing
tricks
on
scientists.
B.
The
hosts’
aim
is
to
build
a
positive
image
of
science.
C.
Education
gap
can
be
bridged
through
late-night
shows.
D.
Science
participation
can
be
promoted
among
their
viewers.
15.
What’s
the
author’s
attitude
towards
combining
science
with
satire?
A.
Critical.
B.
Objective.
C.
Positive.
D.
Negative.
【答案】12.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了讽刺类节目可以提高人们的科学兴趣和科学意识，但是也有其局限性。

You
can
run
pretty
much
anywhere,
with
pretty
much
no
equipment.
So
it
must
be
easy
to
start-just
put
one
foot
in
front
of
the
other,
right?
Not
quite.
Starting
a
new
training
program,
like
most
things,
is
stepping
into
unfamiliar
area.
___16___
.
Most
people
start
out
too
hard,
which
leads
to
unnecessary
tiredness
and
possible
injury;
or
they
just
bum
out,
feeling
that
the
last
thing
they
want
to
do
is
go
out
for
another
heavy,
painful
run.
Getting
past
that
early
period
is
the
key
to
both
running's
benefits
and
pleasures.
___17___
You
may
want
to
start
running
to
make
your
heart
stronger,
to
up
your
endurance
for
other
sports,
or
even
just
to
fit
into
your
tux（晚礼服,）again.
Those
are
all
worthy
goals
and
setting
them
is
a
valuable
aid
to
getting
where
you
want
to
go.
If
you
like
a
challenge,
your
goal
might
be
running
the
local
5K,
or
something
more
ambitious,
like
finishing
a
Tough
Mudder
obstacle
run
or
qualifying
for
the
Boston
Marathon.
A
typical
beginner
who
trains
properly—without
overdoing
it
—
can
safely
finish
a
5K
after
about
three
months.
___18___
Whatever
you
decide
to
aim
for,
committing
to
it
will
help
your
progress
greatly.
___19___
.
While
a
short,
easy
run
a
few
times
a
week
is
better
than
nothing,
it's
not
nearly
as
exciting
as
looking
up
at
—
then
reaching
—
the
next
level.
Then
don't
get
ahead
of
yourself.
___20___
.
And
gradually
you
can
become
a
good
run
beginner.
A.
Figure
out
why
you're
running.
B.
The
new
training
program
will
pay
off.
C.
And
it
is
possible
for
a
marathon
after
a
year.
D.
Otherwise
you
tend
to
make
no
further
progress.
E.
That
is
a
remarkable
achievement
for
a
run
beginner.
F.
You
should
resist
the
urge
to
run
too
hard,
too
much,
or
too
often.
G.
You're

and
possible
injury;
or
they
just
bum
out,
feeling
that
the
last
thing
they
want
to
do
is
go
out
for
another
heavy,
painful
run.”（大多数人开始运动时过于用力，导致不必要的疲劳和可能的伤害;或者他们只是精疲力尽，觉得自己最不想做的事情就是再跑一次沉重而痛苦的跑步。）可知，初学者由于急切或者过于用力出现一些错误。G项：You're
eager
but
unsure,
excited
but
potentially
easy
to
make
errors.（你很急切但又不确定，很兴奋，但很容易犯错误。）符合语境。故选G。
【17题详解】

for
other
sports,
or
even
just
to
fit

your
tux
again.”（你可能想要开始跑步来让你的心脏更强壮，提高你在其他运动中的耐力，或者甚至只是为了再次穿上你的燕尾服。）可知，空处解释说明跑步的原因。A项：Figure
out
why
you're
running.（弄清楚你为什么要跑。）符合语境。故选A。

overdoing
it
—

after
about
three
months.”（一个典型的初学者如果训练得当——不会过度——可以在三个月后安全地跑完5公里。）可知，空处是在总结，只要训练的当，跑完马拉松也是可以的。
C项：And
it
is
possible
for
a
marathon
after
a
year.（一年之后，马拉松比赛也是可能的。）符合语境。故选C。

根据上文“Whatever
you
decide
to
aim
for,
committing
to
it
will
help
your
progress
greatly.“（无论你决定的目标是什么，致力于它将大大帮助你的进步。）可知，只有致力于自己所做的事情才能取得进步，反之亦然。D项：Otherwise
you
tend
to
make
no
further
progress.（否则你就不会有进一步的进展。）符合语境。故选D。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Then
don't
get
ahead
of
yourself.”（然后不要操之过急）和下文“And
gradually
you

good
run
beginner.”（
慢慢地你就能成为一个好的跑步初学者。）可知，F项：You
should
resist
the
urge
to
run
too
hard,
too
much,
or
too
often.（你应该抵制跑得太用力、太多或太频繁的冲动。）承上启下，符合语境。don't

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了由于受疫情的影响，美国各地学生的学习成绩有所下降。各学校根据此情况正在做出调整，给学生更少的作业。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意：美国各学区报告称，自疫情爆发以来，不及格学生的数量比平时高出许多倍。设空处为宾语从句的谓语动词，根据从句的时间状语since
the
pandemic
broke
out可知应用现在完成时，the
number
of修饰名词作主语，谓语用单数形式。故填has
risen。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在他的学校，10月底38%的学生不及格，而平时只有8%。句中已有谓语动词were
falling，且空处无连词，故应用非谓语形式，compare与逻辑主语38
percent
of
grades
in
late
October
之间为被动关系，应用过去分词，作状语。故填compared。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：教育工作者认为这种变化有很多原因。设空处是句子的主语，应将educate变为其名词形式，位于句首，首字母大写，根据语境可知，教育者不止一位，因此用复数形式，故填Educators。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：在家学习的学生经常完全错过作业。所给词修饰动词miss，在句子中充当状语，应用其副词形式。故填completely。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：互联网的可用性有限或没有有效建立，使得完成和上传作业变得困难。分析可知，此处应用形容词作表语，结合句意表示“有限的”应用limited。故填limited。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：互联网的可用性有限或没有有效建立，使得完成和上传作业变得困难。分析句子可知，此处是作句子的状语，表示自然而然的结果，应用现在分词形式。故填making。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：而那些没有亲眼见到学生的老师，就没有多少办法知道谁在落后。这是个定语从句，先行词teacher指人，从句中缺少主语，应用关系代词who/that引导。故填who/that。
【43题详解】
考查比较级。句意：而那些没有亲眼见到学生的老师，就没有多少办法知道谁在落后。原文前面句子说网络问题使得学生完成学业任务有困难，这句又提到在上一句的基础上，有些老师的问题使得学生学习的方式更加少，因此，使用few的比较级。故填fewer。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：不及格的人数在全国各地的各个地区都有所增加。increase
in的意思为“在.......方面增长”，为固定搭配，此处指“成绩下降方面数据的增长”，故填in。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：教师们被要求少布置作业，并被敦促寻找不同的教学方法。并列连词and用来连接属于同一层次并具有相司句法功能的短语或句子，文中instructed
to
give
less
homework
和
urged
to
find
different
way
of
teaching是相同句法功能句，为并列关系，应用并列连词and连接。故填and。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数为150左右。
A
light
knock
on
the
door
brought
me
from
my
kitchen.
Because
we
had
just
moved
into
a
new
neighborhood,
I
couldn’t
imagine
who
it
would
be.
When
I
opened
the
door,
an
old
man
stood
there,
who
was
dressed
in
dirty
clothes
and
wearing
dirty
rubber
boots.
His
hand
hung
a
plastic
bag.
“Can
I
help
you?”
I
asked.
“Would
you
like
to
buy
some
fresh
garden
vegetables?”
he
said,
his
blue
eyes
full
of
hope.
“Are
they
from
your
garden?”
I
looked
inside
his
plastic
bag
and
saw
some
carrots
with
soil.
“Yes,”
his
voice
was
soft.
“And
I
can
get
some
apples
from
a
tree
in
my
yard.
Would
you
like
some
of
those,
too?
”
My
heart
softened,
and
I
wondered
if
he
was
badly
in
need
of
quite
a
bit
of
money.
With
a
sigh(叹息)
I
said,
“Please
step
inside
and
I’ll
get
my
money.
”
The
next
day,
he
knocked
at
our
door
again.
This
time,
my
little
four-year-old
daughter
got
there
first.
“Oh,
hello.
Would
you
like
to
come
in
for
tea?
”
Without
a
second
thought,
the
old
man
stepped
inside
and
held
out
a
broken
basket
with
several
bruised(擦伤的)
apples.
“From
my
tree,”
he
said,
removing
a
worn
cap.
“You
might
like
to
make
apple
pie.”
The
three
of
us
sat
at
the
kitchen
table
and
drank
our
tea.
It
was
clear
that
my
daughter
liked
hosting
a
visitor
in
her
never-ending
questions.
“What
is
your
name?
Where
do
you
live?
Why
are
your
clothes
so
dirty?”
The
homeless-looking
man
laughed
as
he
answered
each
question.
His
name
was
Mr.
Locket
and
he
lived
around
the
corner.
His
wife
had
passed
away
several
years
before,
and
his
children
all
lived
far
away.
He
was
lonely.
His
need
for
company(陪伴)
had
sent
him
door
to
door
selling
fruit
and
vegetables.
Ours
was
the
only
door
opened
to
him.
Paragraph
1:
When
he
finished
the
tea,
he
said
he
had
to
go
home
and
promised
to
return
the
next
day.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph
2:
Several
years
later,
a
small
envelope
was
delivered
to
our
home
—
a
letter
from
the
old
man’s
daughter.

【答案】Paragraph
1:
When
he
finished
the
tea,
he
said
he
had
to
go
home
and
promised
to
return
the
next
day.
Making
his
way
to
the
door,
he
turned
and
waved
us
goodbye.
My
daughter
excitedly
waited
for
his
visit
and
made
full
preparations.
The
next
day,
the
old
man
showed
up
in
our
house
as
he
had
promised.
At
the
kitchen,
he
was
amazed
by
all
the
preparations
for
him,
including
the
apple
pie.
His
eyes
were
filled
with
tears.
We
became
friends.
My
daughter
and
I
indeed
enjoyed
the
company
this
old
visitor
offered
us.
Later
on,
we
kept
in
touch
by
writing
letters,
for
he
had
become
too
old
to
get
around.
Paragraph
2:
Several
years
later,
a
small
envelope
was
delivered
to
our
home—
a
letter
from
the
old
man’s
daughter.
She
informed
us
that
our
dear
old
friend
had
passed
away.
“I’m
so
grateful
for
your
showing
care
to
my
father,”
she
wrote,
“I
can
see
how
much
you
meant
to
him.
Here
is
a
letter
from
my
father
to
you.”
The
letter
goes
like
this,
“Thank
you
for
all
your
kindness
to
an
old
man.
When
I
was
lonely,
you
took
me
in.
When
I
was
badly
in
need
of
a
family,
you
accepted
me.
In
my
last
few
years,
my
life
had
been
filled
with
happiness
because
of
you.”
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mr.
Locket的妻子几年前去世了，他的子女都离得远，他一个人孤独地生活，为了排解孤独他上门向邻居推销自己种的蔬菜和水果。作者刚刚搬来这个社区，Mr.
Locket敲响了她家的门，并且请他进门，第二天他再来时还请他喝了茶，作者一家是唯一给他开门的邻居。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“喝完茶后，他说他得回家，并答应第二天再来。”可知，第一段可描写作者和女儿之后和Locket先生的相处过程，作者的女儿非常喜欢他，后来，他们通过写信保持联系，因为Locket先生年事已高，不能到处走动了。
②由第二段首句内容“几年后，一个小信封送到了我们家——一封老人女儿的信。”可知，第二段可描写老人女儿信中的内容，信中提到Locket先生给作者写了封信，信里感谢作者的陪伴。
2.续写线索：Locket先生来作者家——作者及女儿和Locket先生成为朋友——作者和Locket先生开始通信——收到老人女儿来信——信中老人感谢作者
