When Rachel Ratelle saw a news video of a burned koala trying to climb a
tree to safety in fire-stricken Australia, she decided to do something about it. She looked up wildlife rescue and relief agencies in Australia to find out what they needed most. Besides donations, many organizations asked for hand-sewn and knitted pouches(袋子) and wraps for koalas and other animals that were burned or had lost their homes and parents in the fires.
This idea attracted Ratelle, but there was just one problem. "I'd never sewn in my life," said Ratelle,17,a senior at Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista, US. "Giving money seemed like something too simple. But I wanted to directly
help these animals by doing something myself so I decided to learn how to sew."
Over the next few months, Ratelle bought her own sewing machine and taught herself how to sew via videos online. Then she purchased 18 yards of fabric and sewed 25 pouches of different sizes and shipped them off to FAWNA, one of
several relief organizations that have rushed to rescue koalas, kangaroos and other species suffering from bums.
A week later, she received a photo from EAWNA with a young koala in one of
her larger pouches. "It made me feel like I contributed to the world and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way," said Ratelle, who hopes to study biology for a future career as a nurse practitioner.
Several craft websites around the world have appealed to people to make the animal pouches. Karen Newberry and her two daughters Madison,12 and
Rochelle,8,from San Diego also offered their help in such a way. For Newberry, "It was a big push that made us crafters, sewers realize there's something more we can do than just make things for ourselves,” she said.
4. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?
A. What inspired Ratelle to learn to sew.
B. The poor living conditions of Australian animals.
C. What is needed to save koalas and other species.
D. Different ways to help koalas and other animals.
5. How did Ratelle feel when she received a photo from FAWNA?
A. Calm.
B. Surprised.
C. Proud.
D. Disappointed.
6. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. It is challenging for crafters and sewers to do relief work.
B. Life is not easy for crafters and sewers in Australia.
C. People should stay united through difficult times.
D. Many people are involved in helping injured animals.
7. What's the best title for the text?
A. Helping Injured Wildlife
B. A Big Bushfire in Australia
C. Making Animal Pouches
D. Relief Agencies in Australia
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。

主要讲述了Ratelle通过手工缝制编织袋，来对澳大利亚火灾中受伤的袋鼠等野生动物进行救助的故事，也号召了更多的人行动起来。

【4题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段When Rachel Ratelle saw a news video of a burned koala

Besides donations, many organizations asked for hand-sewn and knitted pouches(袋子) and wraps for koalas and other animals that were burned or had lost their homes and parents in the fires.可知当Rachel Ratelle看到在大火肆虐的澳大利亚，一只被烧伤的考拉试图爬到一棵树上安全的新闻视频时，她决定做点什么。

她向澳大利亚的野生动物救援和救济机构查询，了解他们最需要什么。

除了捐款，许多组织还要求为考拉和其他在火灾中被烧毁或失去家园和父母的动物提供手工缝制和编织的袋子和外衣。

由此可知，第一段主要讲了是什么启发了Ratelle学习缝纫。

故选A。

【5题详解】
推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段中"It made me feel like I contributed to the world and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way," said Ratelle可知Ratelle说：“这让我觉得我对世界有所贡献，也让我明白了一个简单的善举可以有很深远
的影响。

C
Many of us know about Russia's Lake Baikal from our textbooks,or by
listening to Chinese singer Li Jian's hit song,Lake Baikal.But over the past decade,the world's deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.
Each March since 2005,about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon.They come to explore the lake's breathtaking beauty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions.The 26-mile journey starts on the lake's eastern shore.In March,the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard.Runners cross this frozen surface,finishing on the western side of the lake.
Known as the"blue eye of Siberia",Lake Baikal has exceptionally clear waters.This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent（透明的）."Seen from above,a runner on the ice looks as if he or she is jogging through space,"The New York Times noted.
The landscape might be beautiful,but the weather is harsh.Strong winds blow across the lake and frostbite（冻伤）can occur within half an hour.Runners say the cold climate is what draws them.They want to test their limits."When you are in such an environment,you don't have cars around you,you don't have the noise around.I think these extreme races allow you to be alone with nature,"Alicja Barahona,a 64-year-old runner from the US,told ABC News.
The location offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon.The finish line is visible from the start,but the endless white offers no progress markers.The race also ends with little fanfare（喧闹）.Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to taking photos and just ignore the runners.
For some runners,the absence of audience makes the race more
challenging,because it's lonely.They must fight with themselves."You are alone
on Baikal.It is your race.You are alone with yourself All you need to do is to defeat yourself,"Veronique Messina,a French runner,told the Telegraph.
8. What do we know about the Baikal Ice Marathon?
A. It requires runners to jog through space.
B. It attracts more and more participants each year.
C It combines extreme weather and beautiful scenery.
D. It highlights our textbooks and Li Jian's hit song.
9. What does the underlined word"harsh”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Pleasant.
B. Severe.
C. Annoying.
D. Damp.
10. How does the Baikal Ice Marathon differ from other marathons?
A. Only men are allowed to run in this race.
B. There are many progress markers on the ice.
C. The runners are often disturbed by tourists.
D. The runners can see the finish line from the start.
11. What is the most challenging in the race for Messina?
A. Loneliness.
B. The long distance.
C. The cold climate.
D. Noisy surroundings.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

记叙了贝加尔湖一夜成名是因为一项极限运动——马拉松跑的举行，以及贝加尔湖美丽的风景和酷冷的天气。

【8题详解】
推理判断题。

通过审题浏览信息得知A选项不切合文意，故排除。

因为：They come to explore The 26-mile journey starts on. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake.这里主要是从explore和cross这俩词上面判断runners不是jog慢跑，而是穿越。

然后下文告诉我们：Seen from above,a runner on the ice looks as if he or she is jogging through space,从上俯瞰，在冰上的运动员看起来好像是慢跑过这段空间。

这里只是好像，而不是肯定的说是慢跑。

两者结合推断A
选项不切合文意，故排除。

通过这句：Each March since 2005,about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon.自从2005年开始，每年三月，大约150人来自于世界各地报名参加贝加尔冰上马拉松运动。

这句话可以理解为每年月150
人参加，没有增加的趋势，故B选项与文意不符合，排除。

通过下句：But over the past decade, the world's deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.但是在过去的十年里，世界最深的淡水湖已经因为一场极限运动而让世人瞩目。

这里和D选项里的It highlights our textbooks and Li Jian's hit song.它在我们的课本和李健的流行歌曲里面引起人们的关注。

相左，故排除D选项。

而通盘除了描述冰上马拉松运动以外就是描述贝加尔湖的酷冷和壮美。

因此选C选项切合文意。

故选C。

【9题详解】
猜测词义题。

从第四段第一句话和转折连词but，以及后面的strong winds和frostbite可知，harsh意为severe(酷寒的)。

故选B。

【10题详解】
细节理解题。

根据这句话：Each March since 2005,about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon可知参加的人员about 150 people from around the world“约150来自世界各地的人”不确定是男还是女性。

而选项说只允许男性参加，不准确的表达，故排除。

从这一句里我吗得知终点线从起点就可以看见，但无边无际的白色却无法提供进程标志。

而下面这句话告诉我们：Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to taking photos and just ignore the runners挤在冰上的.游客们多数都被美景吸引而恰恰忽略了运动员。

这句话与选项C中的The runners are often disturbed by tourists.游客通常打扰运动员意义相反，故排除。

从第五段第二句话The finish line is visible from the start,but the endless white offers no progress markers.这一句里告诉我们B选项与文意相反，故排除，而D选项与文意符合，故选D。

【11题详解】
细节理解题。

从最后一段此处：You are alone on Baikal. It is your race.You are alone with yourself All you need to do is to defeat yourself“你在贝加尔湖上是孤独的，在比赛中，你只有和你自己在一起，所以所有你需要做的就是战胜你自己”可知，
All you need to do所有你需要做的事情是……，说明这是最具挑战性的事情。

因此，对于Messina来说，比赛中最具有挑战性的是孤独，这与A选项loneliness孤独切合。

故选A。

D
Call it a mobility system or a wheelchair—it can be seen at the Tokyo airport moving on its own.It is helping with social distancing while fighting the spread of the coronavirus. It also helps older passengers and those who otherwise need assistance walking the last few steps to the boarding gate.
The mobility system seats one person and runs on its own without hitting anything. It has a pre-programmed path of about 600 meters at Tokyo's Haneda International Airport. It was shown on Monday by WHILL, the company behind the technology.
WHILL Chief Executive Satoshi Sugie said robotics and self-driving technology reduce the need for a human at the wheel. They are good for these times of "living with" coronavirus. The ride lasts several minutes. It travels from the security area to the boarding gate at a speed of 3.5 kilometers per hour. But many people hope the technology can help in other places, such as hospitals or parks. The technology uses sensors and cameras to see a clear path and avoid hitting those walking toward it. It could also help Japan free up laborers. Japan, like many other nations, suffers from a labor shortage. The technology could free a worker to do another job.
Tests have been carried out at several airports since last year, including John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. The company hopes to put it
in airports around the world.
The person on the machine can start or stop it through a simple controller .It runs on batteries and is programmed to return to where it started when its passenger gets off Anyone needing help walking long distances can use it at Terminal One at Haneda airport. It is called the "last-mile mobility, says WHILL.
12. What do we know about the mobility system?
A. It can seat more than one person.
B. It runs with the assistance of a controller.
C. It helps older passengers to the boarding gate.
D. It has a flexible path of about 600 meters.
13. What does "they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Humans at the wheel.
B. The needs for human beings.
C. These times of "living with" coronavirus.
D. Robotics and self-driving technology.
14. What plays an essential part in the technology?
A. Sensors and cameras.
B. The speed of the machine.
C. The path of the ride.
D. The distance of the ride.
15. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. The system runs completely on its own.
B. The system has been put into use in the US.
C. WHILL will continue to test the system in airports worldwide.
D. The system is controlled by a passenger to return to the start.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】

选项中有两项
为多余选项。

A team of researchers in the U.S.has found that office workers sleep more hours each night when exposed to more sunlight during the day.
Previous research has shown that when office workers are exposed to least natural light during their shifts,they tend to sleep less at night than people who are exposed to more sunlight during the day._____16_____In this new
effort,the researchers sought to learn more about the sunlight and sleep connection by carrying out an experiment in an office building in Durham,North Carolina.
The experiments involved testing the differences in sleep patterns for
people working in nearly the same office environments situated right next to each other._____17_____One office had the traditional blinds（百叶窗）that prevent much of the sunlight coming through the large glass windows.In the other office,the windows were treated with a special technology that allows more sunlight to pass through.
___18___At the end of the week,the workers were asked to trade offices where they worked for another week.Also,each of the workers was fitted with a wrist device that measured and recorded how long the wearer was asleep each night.
The researchers found that both groups of workers slept longer when they worked in the office with more natural lighting._____19_____The researchers
found that the positive effects of sunlight grew as the week passed by—scores
on understanding tests improved each day.____20____
A. On average,37 minutes longer.
B. They worked for a longer time.
C. The only real difference was the lighting.
D. They worked in different offices with similar lighting.
E. They also tend to perform less well on some understanding tests.
F. By the end of the week,the workers scored 42 percent higher.
G. For the experiment,typical office workers were asked to work in both offices for one week.
【答案】16. E 17. C 18. G 19. A 20. F
【解析】
本文为说明文，文章介绍了美国一组研究人员的一项发现，即白天暴露在更多阳光下的办公室职员每晚睡眠时间更长。

【16题详解】
根据前文Previous research has shown that when office workers are exposed to least natural light during their shifts, they tend to sleep less at night than people who are exposed to more sunlight during the day.可知先前的研究表明，上班时暴露在自然光线最少的办公室工作人员，他们晚上往往比白天暴露在更多阳光下的人睡得少。

由此可知，选项承接上文，说明阳光对人有积极影响。

故E选项“他们在理解测试中表现也更好一些”切题。

故选E项。

【17题详解】
根据下文One office had the traditional blinds（百叶窗）that prevent much of the sunlight coming through the large glass windows. In the other office, the windows were treated with a special technology that allows more sunlight to pass through.可知一个办公室是阻止太阳光进入玻璃窗，另一个是允许自然光进入，因此此处介绍了两个办公室的不同在于光线的不同。

故C选项“唯一的区别是光线”。

切题。

故选C项。

【18题详解】
根据下文At the end of the week, the workers were asked to trade offices where
they worked for another week.可知在一周结束时，工人们被要求更换他们工作的办公室，再工作一周。

由此可以推断前句介绍了他们要在一个办公室呆一周，然后到这一周结束的时
候在进行交换。

故G选项“在这个实验中，办公室工作人员被要求在两个办公室工作一周。

”切题。

所以选G。

【19题详解】
根据上文The researchers found that both groups of workers slept longer when they worked in the office with more natural lighting.可知研究者发现在更多自然光的办公室工作的员工睡眠时间更长，选项承接上文，具体说明多睡多少时间。

故A选项“接触自然
光的员工比不接触自然光的员工平均多睡37分钟。

”切题。

故选A项。

【20题详解】
根据上文The researchers found that the positive effects of sunlight grew as the week passed by—scores on understanding tests improved each day.可知研究人员发现，阳光的积极影响随着时间的推移而增加---理解测试的分数也每天都在提高。

选项接下来介
绍提高分数的比。

故F选项“到一周结束的时候，员工的分数提高了42%。

”切题。

故选F项。
