阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C 和D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白
处的最佳选项。

Eleven-year-old Angela had something wrong with her nervous system (神经系统). She was unable to 16 . In fact, she could hardly make any movement.
Although she believed that she had a good chance of recovering (恢复), the doctors
said that 17 , if any, could come back to normal after getting this disease.
Having heard this, the little girl didn’t lose heart. Th ere, lying in her hospital bed, she thought that whatever the doctors said, her going back to school was 18 .
She was moved to a specialized health center, and whatever method could be tried was used. Her condition remained unimproved. Still she would not 19 .
It seemed that she was unbeatable (不可战胜的). The doctors all liked her and taught her imagining that she could make it. Every day Angela would lie there, faithfully doing her mental (精神的) exercise．
One day, 20 she was imagining her legs moving again, it seemed as though a miracle (奇迹) happened: The bed began to move! “Look what I’m doing!
Look! I can do it! I moved! I moved!” She 21 ．
In fact, at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was 22 . And they were running 23 safety.
People were crying, and equipment ( 设备) was _ 24 . You see, it was an earthquake. But don’t tell that to Angela. She has 25 that she did it, just as
she had never doubted that she would recover. And now only a few years later, she’s back in school. You see, to such a person who can shake the earth, such a disease is a small problem, isn’t it?

【答案】DACBA CACBC
【解析】16.D 本题可以从后文提到的几个线索去考虑。

“the doctors said that 39 , if any, could come back to no…”，“Having heard this, the little
girl…”从这二句就说明她能听也能说，否则就不能和医生交流；还有“her going back
to …”以及下几个自然段里多次出现的“move”一词就知道她是不能走动，选D。

16.A
从题目了解到，虽然（although）小女孩自己很有信心，但是医生知道康复的几率是很小的,很少有人能好起来。

从答案来判断B、C、D的意义相差无几所以可以一起排除。

【解析】：这里根据文章知道，小女孩非常的坚强、执着对自己非常有信心，所以才认为自己康复的机会很大。

Have / stand a good / fair chance of 大有……的希望。

【考点】：固定短语搭配和语境理解。

【易错点】：由于对语境的理解不透彻容易错选A或者C。

17.C
在同一个语境中，所表达的内涵体现了小女孩坚强自信的良好品质，所以她才认为她的病必好她必能上学。

【考点】：形容词词义辨析和语境理解。

【易错点】：A答案容易错选，但是true是真的、对的(相对某个事实而言)，这里是小女孩自己心中的信念，不存在对错与否。

18. B
根据题意得知，所有能够用的方法都试过了，似乎还没有效果，但是小女孩心中的信念仍然那么强烈，她还没有放弃。

这一直是围绕着文章主旨展开的。

get up 是起床 turn
up出现、露面、调大（音量），stand up站起来。

19. A
since引导时间状语从句的时候是“自从...之后”的意思主句一般用现在完成时态，这里不符合；afte r“在…之后”如果两个都是过去的动作先发生的动作一般用过去完成时态，
before意思是“在…前、才”；从文章中可以看出是当她正在做的时候才感觉到的，
而while引导时间状语从句时候就“当...的时候”，所以选A。

20. C 从文章“Look, what I'm doing! Look! I can do it! I moved! I
moved!"可以看出她因为激动所以喊叫起来。

21. A 根据后文知道，床在动是因为发生了地震，因此很容易判断是所有的人都很害
怕。

其实从所给的B、C、D选项可以看出这个三个答案都是表达一个思想那就是小女孩真的能动，所以与事情违背都不能选。

22. C through safety的意思是通过安
全，by多表方式方法，with多指使用具体的工具或者伴随某种状态。

这里指他们发生了地震他们逃跑的目的是为了安全故选C for表为了...。

23. B 根据题意可以得知因为发生了地震，在抖动中设备、仪器应该是掉下来。

rise上升；fall掉落；
miss错过；gather聚集，故B选项符合题意。

24. C 从文章可以看出因为没有告诉她事实真相所以她“坚信”上自己能动了，后文也有印证：“just as
she had never doubted that”这里的doubt与之相反的就是“believe”。

三、阅读理解（共15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分15 分）
阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
Cowboys, Policemen, Princesses and Superheroes are all characters kids choose to be on any given day. Putting on a play can be a fun activity that lets them act out
their favorite characters as well as use their artistic ability to create the stage.
Best of all, they will be able to use their favorite line “look at me” as th e audience sits down to enjoy the show.
Help your kids decide on a play they would like to act out. Use the Internet or library to find scripts (剧本) for older reading kids. For younger kids, you can act out
a favorite story or fairy tale. Of course, you could always help them write their own
script.
Decide how many characters are needed. Invite neighbors and friends to be in your play or let your kids play more than one character. Make sure you teach them to
change the way they look, move and speak so the audience can tell the difference.
Search for costume (服装) and prop (道具). Find old clothes from your closet or attic (阁楼), or go to a garage sale. Help everyone make a mask or put on makeup
to represent their character.
Get creative. Make tickets, invitati ons, movie posters and props for your kids’ play. You can even decorate a curtain and hang in front of the stage. Set up chairs for
the audience. Invite the audience to sit down and enjoy the play.

【解析】这是一篇说明文。

文章针对父母怎样才能让孩子表演好戏剧给出了一些建议。

26.D【命题意图】考查细节理解。

【解题思路】从第一段第一句话可以看出，D项不是孩子们选择的角色。

27.C【命题意图】考查细节理解。

【解题思路】由第四段的第二句话＂Invite neighbors and friends to be in your play or let your kids play more than one character"知，一个孩子可以在同一部戏剧中扮演不同的角色。

因此C项正确。

28.A【命题意图】考查主旨大意。

【解题思路】文章针对父母怎样才能帮助孩子表演好戏剧给出了一些建议。

所以选A。

about 3,000 miles.
B
Swimming to Survive
When humpback whales migrate (迁徙), they only travel 100 miles in about 24 hours.
Some humpback whales migrate from Costa Rica to Antarctica without stopping. That’s over 5,000 miles! Other
humpbacks travel from Hawaii to Alaska, a distance of
Whales live in all of Earth’s oceans. Each group has its own migration route ( 路线). The map shows routes taken by humpbacks in the North Pacific Ocean.
From North to South
How does migration help humpback whales survive? They spend the winter in warm water. This is where they have their babies. When summer comes, the whales head back to colder waters. There they feed on tiny fish and shrimp called krill. Lots
of krill live in these icy waters.
Why do the whales make this long trip every year? Without it they would be hungry to death. One whale needs about 3,000 pounds of food a day. The whales fatten up on krill before leaving the cold waters. As they migrate, they leave off the fat stored in their bodies.
Do whales ever get lost? Scientists are unsure how the whales know which direction to head. Maybe they learn the routes from traveling with older whales.
Protecting the Whales
Years ago, whales were killed for their blubber, or fat and their meat. Most
hun ters didn’t realize the influence hunting had on the whale population (数量).
By 1966 only about 1,400 humpbacks remained in the North Pacific. To protect humpbacks, the whales were listed as an endangered species (濒危物种). It is now against the law to kill a humpback. As a result, the number of whales has greatly increased. About 21,000 humpbacks live in North Pacific today. As a precaution, all humpbacks are still listed as endangered.
29.How does moving to cold waters influence the whale population?
A.It lets them cool off.
B.It helps them stay fit.
C.It helps them lose weight.
D.It provides food they need.
30.Read the underlined sentence in the article. If caution means “a warning about a
problem”, what does precaution mean?
A.After warning about a problem.
B.Warning about a problem again.
C.A warning before a problem happens.
D.Being against warning about problems.
31.What is the main idea of the article?
A.Migration helps whales live.
B.We must save humpback whales.
C.Whales survive only by swimming.
D.Whales migrate thousands of miles.
【答案】29-31 DCA
【解析】29. D 根据文中When summer comes, the whales head back to colder waters. There they feed on tiny fish and shrimp called krill. Lots of krill live in these icy waters.可知：当鲸鱼回到更冷水域，它们以一种微小的虾类—磷虾为食，所以D选项提供它们所需的食物符合题意。

30.C 根据文章最后一段分析：为了保护座头鲸，该鲸类被列为濒危物种，国家甚至制定法
规禁止捕杀座头鲸。

正是因为法律的制定，所以座头鲸的数量有增加。

最后一句话，为什么要继续列在濒危名单里呢？我们分析可得：为了预防座头鲸灭绝的问题发生，根据“If caution means “a warning about a problem某问题发生的警示”, precaution意思为在问题发生前，提前警告人类采取保护措施。

31. A 综合全文可知：主旨为，迁徙是帮助座头鲸存活的。

故选A选项。

C
English schools prepare for return after six-month break Now schools in England are preparing to welcome back pupils after nearly six months out of the classroom.
The education secretary Gavin Williamson insisted that students were returning to a safe environment, and said the reopening of schools was a massive milestone.
Teachers have been returning today with most children due back from tomorrow to the end of the week, as our education reporter Branwen Jefferys tells us: Kirsty’s getting ready for the new term to welcome her class back to lessons and sending her own son back to his school.
“As a teacher, as a parent, I’m really happy for my son to return. He’s really excited to see his friends and just getting stuck back in with the leaning.”
From morning drop off onwards, it’s all changing. You can see signs, warning parents they can’t come beyond the gates.
For their head, an extra cost to making the school safe. “Things like sanitizer, soap, paper towels, tissues. We have to have an awful lot of that if you think that we’re going to have 400 plus children washing their hands at least six times a day.”
Ava is getting ready to start secondary school. Her mum is a bit worried but trying to stay positive: “She’s not actually worried about starting school. She’s worried about the COVID preparations and if she’ll be behind in her work at all, and not the actual start of school.”
So what happens if a case is confirmed (确定)?
Schools will have to ask close contacts (接触) of the person who’s tested positive (阳性) to self-isolate (自我隔离). Close contact means face-to-face contact within a meter of the infected (感染的) person for more than 15 minutes, or direct skin-to-skin contact, proximity contact, that’s spending more than 15 minutes under two meters from the infected person and traveling in a small vehicle like a car with an infected person.
Getting schools open, pupils back, is one social challenge. Dealing with next year’s exams is another. Delay is on the cards with answers expected soon. Brandwen Jeffreys, BBC News.
32.What is Ava worried about?
A.She is worried about starting school.
B.She is worried about COVID preparations.
C.She is worried about the extra cost to keep the school safe.
D.She is worried about if her friends will be excited to see her again.
33.Who will self-isolate if a case is confirmed?
A.Cherilyn who contacted 3 meters of the infected person.
B.Jackson who goes to the same school as the infected person.
C.Monica who traveled with the infected person in the same train.
D.Charlie who sat close to the infected person and enjoyed chatting for 20
minutes.
34.What do people think of getting school open and pupils back?
A.Challenging.
B.Dangerous.
C.Cheerful.
D.Nervous.
35.Where may the material come from?
A.Poster.
B.Guidebook.
news.
D.Magazine.
【答案】CDAC
【解析】
32.由文章中“For their head, an extra cost to making the school safe. ”可知，本题选C
33.由文章中Schools will have to ask close contacts (接触) of the person who’s tested positive (阳性) to self-isolate (自我隔离).

Did you know that when you surf the web,
websites in some countries put secret software on your
computer? The software collects a large amount of
information about you and sends it to internet
companies. The internet companies sell it to other businesses. Your personal information can also be gathered from social media sites. There are many ways your information can be used.
First, companies collect your information and record all your online habits. They
find out where you live, what websites you visit and what you do online. With this information, they can guess other things about you. For example, they can guess if you are male or female, how old you are and your interests. The companies use this information to decide which ads are best for you. Two people can go to the same website, but they will see different ads. For example, someone who likes sports could see ads for trainers, and someone who likes films might see ads for a film.
Your personal information could also be sold. Some companies collect information just so they can sell it to other businesses. A business that collects and sells personal information is called a data broker. When data brokers sell your information, a lot of different companies will know your online habits. Then the companies will advertise products or other websites to you.
Another way your personal information can be collected is through social media. When your information is on social media, a lot of people can see it. Even if you don’t use social media, a friend might post a picture or video of you with your name on it. Pictures and videos can be shared for free on social media, which is one of the great advantages. However that same act of sharing could be a problem for your own security (安全). If someone knows too much about you, they steal your identity. Then they can buy things online and post messages while pretending (假装) to be you.
. The law is finally changing when it comes to technology. In the European Union, for example, they have introduced the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This rule means that internet users can now ask companies to show them what information they have about them and even make them delete it. If other countries do the same, the internet could soon be a much safer place.
36.According to paragraph 2, what will the companies find by collecting your
information?
① age and hobbies ② online activities ③ address ④ job
A. ①②③
B. ①②④
C. ①③④
D. ②③④
37.Your personal information can be directly collected through the following
EXCEPT .
A. social media
B. websites
C. advertisement companies
D. secret software
38.Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A.Date brokers can make money by selling personal information to other
businesses.
B.Data brokers can’t get your information if your friend posts a video of you
with your name on it.
C.According to GDPR, we can ask companies to delete our personal information
they have collected online.
D.Different people can see different ads on the same websites because their
online habits have been gathered.
39.Which sentence is the most suitable for the beginning of the last paragraph?
A.However, it’s not all bad news.
B.Anyway, every coin has two sides.
C.Actually, different people have different opinions.
D.Indeed, people believe things are changing for the worse.
40.This article mainly tells us .
A.what personal information may be collected online
B.how companies buy and sell our personal information
ws have been made to protect our personal information online
D.we should keep away from social media to protect our personal information 【答案】ACBAB

五、阅读填空 (共 20 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 20 分)
A)阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后第56-65 小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为56-65 的相应位置上。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词
Hybrid or Electric
Many people know that burning gasoline (汽油) causes pollution. These people are giving serious consideration to buying an electric or a hybrid car (混合动力车).
Electric cars run on batteries rather than gas. These batteries send electricity to an electric motor. When they get low on energy, they must be plugged in to recharge (再充电).
The two main types of hybrid cars run on both gas and electricity. One type uses mostly electricity. It must be plugged in to recharge its batteries. The electric motor turns the wheels. The gas engine helps create electricity. The other type of hybrid gets most of its power from a small gas engine. An electric motor serves as support. The gas engine recharges the batteries while the car is running.
Neither the electric car nor the hybrid is a new invention. In fact, the electric car has been around since the 1880s. The cost of gas keeps going up. This makes more people interested in buying electric and hybrid cars. More people are worried about pollution, too. That’s why carmakers offer more electric and hybrid cars every year. Advantages of an Electric Car
Electric cars cost very little to recharge. They also create almost no pollution. These are often called neighborhood cars. Older models run for about 40 miles (64 kilometers) on one charge. Newer models run up to 200 miles (322 kilometers) on one charge. The electirc car can use any electrical outlet to recharge.
Electric cars run very quietly. They also cost less to maintain because they have fewer moving parts. This makes the car more dependable. However it can cost as
much as ten thousand dollars to replace the batteries in these cars!
Advantages of Hybrid Cars
Hybrid cars refuel at any gas station. In fact, they can run on gas for as long as necessary. Gas-powered engines require upkeep. Plus, the battery for these cars costs the same as an electric car battery.
Electric and hybrid cars have one other similarity. Both cost more than gas-powered cars. But they are becoming less expensive each year.
Drivers who don’t travel very far might find an electric car will meet their needs. Some drivers don’t want to worry about recharging. They also travel farther from home. A hybrid car would be a good choice for these people. The important thing is to choose the car that is right for you!
