1.阅读理解
China and India are leaders in improving global(全球的) tree cover, a new study based on NASA research showed.
They took a 31.8% part together of the total global new leaf area between 2000 and 2017. China played a major role, adding 25% to this increase, and India added 6.8%, followed by Canada and Russia. The study in the Nature Sustainability journal shows that more than 5.5 million square kilometers of green leaf area was added globally. Since 2000, there has been a five-percent increase in global green cover, it said.
"The greening over the last twenty years shows an increase in leaf area on plants and trees which is as large as the area of the entire Amazon rainforest," Chi Chen, a Boston University researcher and lead of the study told Nature Sustainability. Large plantation activities to protect forests in China contributed nearly 42% to the country's green cover, and agriculture added another 32%. In India, 82% of the increase in leaf area was because of agriculture.
"China and India take up one-third of the greening, but hold only nine percent of the planet's land area covered in green plants," Chi Chen told NASA Earth Observatory. "That is a surprising finding, considering the land degradation(退化) in countries with large populations."
Boston University's research team first detected an increase in global green cover in the 1990s but were unsure about what contributed to the increase. Finally, with the help of NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites research, they managed to find out the increase in leaf cover from different areas and places.
(1)Which country increased the largest part of the new leaf area?
A. India
B. China
C. Canada
D. Russia
(2)For what purpose did the author mention the Amazon rainforest?
A. To show how great the achievement was.
B. To show the importance of rainforest.
C. To explain what difficulties we have now.
D. To explain the reason for increasing forests.(3)According to paragraph four, the following statements are true EXCEPT_______.
A. China and India have large populations and land degradation problem
B. about 9% of the planet's greening is in China and India
C. China and India are leading in the global green cover increase
D. the leaf cover area in China and India is still limited if viewed globally
【答案】(1)B
(2)A
(3)B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,一项新研究显示,中国和印度在改善全球树木覆盖方面处于领先地位。
同时中国和印度占了地球绿化面积的三分之一,但却只占地球陆地面积的9%。
考虑到人口众多国家的土地退化,这是一个令人惊讶的发现。
(1)考查细节理解。
根据第二段中的“China played a major role, adding 25% to this increase, and India added 6.8%, followed by Canada and Russia.”中国扮演了主要的角色,增加了25%,
印度增加了6.8%,加拿大和俄罗斯紧随其后。
可知中国新增的森林面积最大。
故选B。
(2)考查推理判断。
根据第三段中的"‘The greening over the last twenty years shows an increase in leaf area on plants and trees which is as large as the area of the entire Amazon rainforest,’ Chi Chen, a Boston University researcher and lead of the study told Nature Sustainability.“过去20年的绿化表明,植物和树木的叶子面积增加了,相当于整个亚马逊雨林的面积,"波士顿大学研究员、该研究的负责人陈驰告诉《自然·可持续性》杂志。
可知作者提到了亚马逊雨林,以表明这一成就是多么伟大。
故选A。
(3)考查细节理解。
根据第四段中的"‘China and India take up one-third of the greening, but hold only nine percent of the planet's land area covered in green plants,’ Chi Chen told NASA Earth Observ atory.”陈驰告诉美国国家航空航天局地球观测站:"中国和印度占了地球绿化面积的三分之一,但却只占地球陆地面积的9%。
"可知B选项"大约9%的地球绿化发生在中国和印度"错误,故选B。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇环保类阅读,考生需要准确掌握细节信息,并根据上下文进行逻辑推理,从而选出正确答案。

A science teacher from rural Kenya who gives away most of his salary to help poorer students has been awarded the world's best teacher and $ 1 million, beating 10,000 nominations from 179 countries. Peter Tabichi, 36, a maths and physics teacher at Keriko secondary school in Pwani Village, has won the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize 2019.
Tabichi gives away 80% of his income to help the poorest students at the poorly-equipped and overcrowded school who could not otherwise afford uniforms and books. More than 90% of his students are from poor families and almost a third are orphans or have only one parent. Drug abuse, teenage pregnancies, leaving off their studies, young marriages and suicide are common. Students have to walk 7 km along roads that can become impassable in the rainy season to reach the school and the area can be affected by drought and starvation.
Despite only having one computer, a poor Internet connection and a student-teacher ratio of 58:1, Tabichi started a "talent nurturing club" and expanded the school's science club, helping students design research projects of such quality that many now qualify for national competitions. His students have taken part in international science competitions and won an award from the Royal Society of Chemistry after using local plant life to generate electricity. Tabichi and four colleagues also give struggling students one-to-one tuition in maths and science, visiting students' homes and meeting their families to identify the challenges they face.
Accepting the prize, Tabichi said Africa's young people would no longer be held back by low expectations." Africa will produce scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs whose names will be one day famous in every corner of the world." he said.
(1)What made Peter Tabichi win the prize in 2019?
A. Giving away $ 1 million to education.
B. Teaching in secondary schools for 36 years.
C. Fighting drought and starvation in Africa.
D. Helping the poorer students in rural Kenya.(2)Why did Tabichi start the "talent nurturing club"?
A. To contribute most of his income.
B. To expand national competitions.
C. To guide students to design research projects.
D. To encourage students to grasp opportunities.

3.阅读理解
"If they hated me they didn't talk to me about it," says a young German manager at a media firm in Frankfurt. Still, he says it was noticeable that when an employee 20 years older than him thanked him for buying lunch he had to swallow twice before adding the word "boss".
Older workers sometimes envy being managed by a younger colleague. Precocious (老成的) youngsters, too, can feel awkward about bossing their elders around. But in Germany a shortage of skilled workers means that such situations are becoming even more common.
The country's population is projected to shrink. As more Germans retire, fewer youngsters are entering the work-place to replace them. As a share of the working population the number of 15-to-24-year-olds has fallen by ten percent since the 1980s, says the German Federal Employment Agency. Firms competing to hire young talent have to promote them earlier as a result. A paper by professors at the university of Cambridge and WHU, a German business school, to be published in the Journal of Organizational Behavior, suggests this could be a problem.
As in many countries, German work-places are legally obliged to overlook age when deciding whom to promote. Yet according to Jochen Menges, one of the authors, when an ordinary worker leap-frogs a more experienced one it can leave the latter with feelings of "anger, fear and disgust." People tend to judge their own standing by the success of their peers, and to see failure in being bossed about by someone younger. The relationship between feelings of anxiety and the age of the boss is clear, according to Mr Menges. A manager who is younger by one year is somewhat unsettling; a gap of 20 years is far more discouraging.
German firms certainly shouldn't return to a system in which age equals to rank. But young people tend to be sensitive about managing upwards. And older workers should be encouraged to see the bright side of learning new skills. Daimler, a big German car firm, says it promotes age- mixed teams, so that knowledge can be transferred between generations. It also supports young managers by asking retired employees to provide temporary support.
(1)For what does the author mention a young German manager and his experience in Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To present an argument.
C. To attract readers' interest.
D. To describe his own idea.
(2)Why are some precocious youngsters bossing their elders around in Germany?
A. Precocious youngsters are all skilled workers.
B. Such situations are becoming more common.
C. Fewer youngsters would like to do hard work.
D. Companies compete fiercely to hire young talent.
(3)In which of the following situations might an employee regard himself as a failure according to the passage?
A. When he has to decide whom to promote.
B. When he leap-frogs a more experienced worker.
C. When he is being bossed about by someone younger.
D. When he experiences feelings of anger, fear and disgust.
(4)What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. A younger boss is more likely to be nervous and anxious.
B. An employee with a younger boss tends to suffer from anxiety.
C. There is a connection between anxiety and the age of promotion.
D. The age of the boss and anxiety are closely related.
(5)What can we learn from the passage?
A. Qualified workers should be promoted to boss.
B. Older workers should support younger managers.
C. Older workers are no better than younger colleagues.
D. You are never too old to learn, or too young to manage.
【答案】(1)A
(2)D
(3)C
(4)B
(5)D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,由于德国年轻人数量下降,竞相雇佣年轻人才的公司不得不更早地提拔年轻人来做管理人员,拥有一位年轻的老板对员工无形中也产生了焦虑感。
就此应该鼓励老员工看到学习新技能的光明面,以及组建年龄混合的团队。
(1)考查推理判断。
根据第一段中的”Still, he say s it was noticeable that when an employee 20 years older than him thanked him for buying lunch he had to swallow twice before adding the word ’boss‘.“不过,他说,值得注意的是,当一名比他大20岁的员工感谢他买了午餐时,他不得不吞下两口,然后才加上“老板”一词。
提到的事例以及第二段中的”Older workers sometimes envy being managed by a younger colleague. Precocious youngsters, too, can feel awkward about bossing their elders around. But in Germany a shortage of skilled workers means that such situations are becoming even more common.“年长的员工有时会羡慕被年轻的同事管理。
早熟的年轻人也会因为对长辈颐指气使而感到尴尬。
但在德国,熟练工人的短缺意味着这种情况变得更加普遍。
对第一段的现象进行解释说明,可知作者在第一段中提到了一个年轻的德国经理和他的经历是为了引入主题。
故选A。
(2)考查推理判断。
根据第四段中的”15-to-24-year-olds has fallen by ten percent since the 1980s, says the German Federal Employment Agency. Firms competing to hire young talent have to promote th em earlier as a result.“德国联邦职业介绍所表示,自上世纪80年代以来,15至24岁的年轻人数量下降了10%。
因此,竞相雇佣年轻人才的公司不得不更早地提拔他们。
可知在德国有些早熟的年轻人对长辈颐指气使,这是因为公司为雇佣年轻人才的激烈竞争,导致年轻人更早地被提拔为管理人员。
故选D。
(3)考查细节理解。
根据倒数第二段中的”People tend to judge their own standing by the success of their peers, and to see failure in being bossed about by someone younger.“人们倾向
于根据同龄人的成功来判断自己的地位,并认为被年轻人左右是失败的。
可知当员工被更年轻的人颐指气使的时候,他会认为自己是失败的。
故选C。
(4)考查词义猜测。
根据第四段中的”A manager who is younger by one year is somewhat unsettling; a gap of 20 years is far more discouraging. “一个年轻一岁的经理有点让人不安;20年的差距更让人沮丧。
可推知老板年龄越年轻,员工的焦虑感越明显,故可推知划线句子意思是:拥有年轻老板的员工往往会感到焦虑。
故选B。
(5)考查主旨大意。
根据最后一段中的”But young people tend to be sensitive about managing upwards. And older workers should be encouraged to see the bright side of learning new skills. Daimler, a big German car firm, says it promotes age- mixed teams, so that knowledge can be transferred between generations. It also supports young managers by asking retired employees to provide temporary support.“但年轻人往往对向上管理很敏感。
应该鼓励老员工看到学习新技能的光明面。
德国大型汽车公司戴姆勒表示,他们提倡年龄混合的团队,这样知识就可以在几代人之间传递。
它还通过要求退休员工提供临时支持来支持年轻的管理者。
结合文章主要内容围绕着德国管理者倾向年轻化的问题,主要是说明了人们应当活到老学到老,永远不会因为太年轻而无法管理。
故选D。

4.阅读理解
I'm a storyteller. And I would like to tell you a few personal stories.
I grew up reading British and American children's books. When I began to write, I wrote exactly the kinds of stories I was reading: All my characters were white and blue-eyed, they ate apples and talked a lot about the weather, despite the fact that I lived in Nigeria. We ate mangoes, and we never talked about the weather. Because all I had read were books in which characters were foreign, I had become convinced that books by their very nature had to have foreigners in them. Things changed when I discovered African books. Because of writers like Chinua Achebe and Camara Laye, I went through a mental shift in my idea of literature. I realized that people like me, girls with skin the color of chocolate, could also exist in literature. I started to write about things I recognized. So what the discovery of African writers did for me was this: It saved me from having a single story of what books are. The year I turned eight, we got a new house boy Fide from a nearby rural village. The only thing my mother told us about him was that his family was very poor. And when I didn't finish my dinner, my mother would say,"Finish your food! Don't you know? People like Fide's family have nothing." So I felt enormous pity for Fide's family. Then one Saturday, we went to his village to visit, and his mother showed us a beautifully patterned basket that his brother had made. I was astonished. It had not occurred to me that anybody in his family could actually make something. Their poverty was my single story of them.
Years later, when I left Nigeria to go to university in the United States, my American roommate asked where I had learned to speak English so well, and was confused when I said that Nigeria happened to have English as its official language. What struck me was this: She had felt sorry for
me even before she saw me. My roommate had a single story of Africa: a single story of catastrophe.
Of course, Africa is a continent full of catastrophes. But there are other stories that are not about catastrophe, and it is very important, it is just as important, to talk about them. The consequence of the single story is this: It robs people of dignity. It makes our recognition of our equal humanity difficult. It emphasizes how we are different rather than how we are similar.
So what if my mother had told us that Fide's family was poor and hardworking? What if we had
an African television network that broadcast diverse African stories all over the world? What if my roommate knew about my Nigerian publisher, Muhtar Bakare, a remarkable man who left his job
in a bank to follow his dream and start a publishing house? What if my roommate knew about my friend Funmi Iyanda, a fearless woman who hosts a TV show, and is determined to tell the stories that we prefer to forget?
My Nigerian publisher and I have just started a non-profit called Farafina Trust, and we have big dreams of building libraries and providing books for state schools, and also of organizing lots of workshops in reading and writing, for all the people who are eager to tell our many stories.
Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity. When we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise.
(1)What is probably people's first impression of the writer when it comes to her nationality?
A. She mainly eats apples and mangoes.
B. She may not speak fluent English.
C. She comes from a place free of catastrophes.
D. She prefers stories based on foreign characters.
(2)The underlined phrase "a mental shift" in Paragraph 2 refers to the writer's____.
A. discovery of African books with characters of her skin color
B. acquaintance with local African writers like Chinua Achebe
C. realization that not only foreign characters exist in literature
D. change that she started to write about things she recognized
(3)How many personal stories has the writer mentioned in the passage?
A. Two.
B. Three.
C. Four.
D. Five.
(4)The writer uses several single stories in the passage to illustrate that the single story____.
A. matters in keeping listeners well informed
B. tends to convey a prejudiced idea to listeners
C. gets increasingly popular among story tellers
D. fails to produce a lasting effect on listeners
(5)The writer lists many "what ifs" in Paragraph 6 to____.
A. emphasize our differences rather than similarities
B. indicate the way that stories are used to break dignity
C. show the hardship of recognizing our equal humanity
D. stress the importance of telling diverse, balanced stories
(6)Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The danger of the single story
B. The importance of telling stories
C. The single stories that matter
D. Stories that can repair broken dignity
【答案】(1)B
(2)C
(3)B
(4)B
(5)D
(6)A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者讲了几个关于个人的故事,通过故事告诫我们:如果我们只去聆听关于一个人、一个国家的单一故事,将会导致非常严重的误解。
(1)考查推理判断。
根据第二段可知,作者实际上来自尼日利亚,经常吃芒果,不讨论天气,有着巧克力肤色。
可知至少不是说英语的欧洲人;再根据第四段,作者的美国舍友对她能说一口流利英语表示疑惑可知,因此可以推断出人们对尼日利亚的人第一印象可能是认为他们不会说流利的英语。
故选B。
(2)考查词义猜测。
根据第二段中的”I realized that people like me, girls with skin the color of chocolate, could also exist in literature.“可知作者的思想转变是她意识到像她这样有着巧克力肤色的女生也是可以在文学作品中有一席之地的。
即不仅仅外国人物才存在文学作品中。
故选C。
(3)考查细节理解。
第二段、第三段、第四段分别讲了作者自己意识到文学作品中人物不限英美,作者发现Fide一家贫穷却努力,作者的室友对尼日利亚的刻板印象。
即一共三个她的个人经历。
故选B。
(4)考查推理判断。
纵观全文可知,不论是作者、作者妈妈、作者的室友,不同的人们有着不同的single story,实际上可以理解为“一面之词”“刻板印象”,但其实又不符合事实,即会给听众传达有偏见的想法,故选B。
(5)考查推理判断。
作者的一系列假设,其实是更好的做法。
兼听则明偏信则暗。
我们不应该听信一面之词,应该去多角度的均衡的了解。
故选D。
(6)考查主旨大意。
全文讲述了作者、作者妈妈、作者的室友的偏见,以及作者对此的看法。
认为一面之词实际上是很不好的。
在并没有亲自去观察探索也没有去多方面了解之前,人们就接受了single story。
但其实往往并不符合事实。
因此最好的标题是一面之词的危险。
故选A。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测,推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。

Mars(火星) appears to be flowing with small streams of salty water, at least in the summer, scientists reported Monday. "It suggests that it would be possible for there to be life today on Mars," NASA's science mission chief, John Grunsfeld, said at a news conference on September 28, 2015.
The streams are about 12 to 15 feet wide and 300 feet or more long, scientists said. "What we're dealing with is wet soil, thin layers of wet soil, not standing water," said Aifred McEwen of the University of Arizona at Tueson, the principal scientist for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's high-resolution imaging experiment.
Because liquid water is essential to life, the findings could have major implications for the possibility of Martian life. The researchers said further exploration is needed to determine whether microscopic life exists on the planet.
The presence of liquid water could also make life easier for astronauts visiting or living on Mars. Water could be used for drinking and for creating oxygen and rocket fuel. NASA's goal is to send humans there in the 2030s.
The evidence of flowing water consists largely of dark, narrow streaks(条痕) on the surface that tend to appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and fade the rest of the year.
Mars is extremely cold even in summer, and the streaks are in places where the temperature is as low as minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit. But salt can lower the freezing point of water and melt ice.
The source of the water is a mystery. Scientists noted it could be melting ice. It could be an underground aquifer, which is rock or sand that can hold water. It is possibly water vapor from the thin Martian atmosphere. Or it may be a combination Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Mars exploration program, said the only definitive way for now to determine whether there's life on Mars is to collect rocks and soil for analysis on Earth—something a U. S. lander set for lift-off in 2020 will do.
(1)According to John Grunsfeld, there seems to be on Mars.
A. salty water
B. standing water
C. rocket fuel
D. human beings
(2)Scientists are uncertain about the of the water on Mars.
A.state
B.source
C.temperature
D.taste
(3)What matters to the existence of liquid water on Mars?
A.The distance from the sun
B.The favorable climate
C.The gravity of the earth
D.The salt in it
(4)What would be the best title for the text?
A.Streams of Water Spotted on Mars
B.Astronauts will Land on Mars
C.NASA's Mars Exploration Program
D.A Breakthrough in the Exploration of Mars
【答案】(1)A
(2)B
(3)D
(4)A

When HarmonyOs, the Chinese self-developed operating system for Huawei mobile devices, was released on Aug 9, it quickly became a hot topic on social media. Many believe it not only represents the rise of the country as a tech power, but also shows respect to classical Chinese culture by naming the system "Hongmcng" in Chinese.
"Hongmeng" is a classical word from Zhuangzi. In the ancient times of Chinese legend and myths (神话),"Hongmeng" was used to describe the original state of the universe before matter existed. For HarmonyOS, "Hongmeng" indicates the developers' aim to make an innovative operating system, unlike any other.
Besides "Hongmeng'", Hunwei has also registered many of its products under the names of legendary creatures from Chinese myths. For example, the company's Kirin mobile chip got its name after a lucky monster called "Qilin". And its server chip is calked "Kunpeng", a creature that changed from a fish into a giant bird.
Many Chinese Internet users and media have praised Huawei's use of these names," as they stand for Chinese wisdom and ancient people's imagination and spirit of exploration", Global Times noted.
In fact, Huawei is not alone in using traditional culture for modern ventures. Ne Zha, the new film, also portrays traditional culture in a modern context. The movie is loosely based on the well-known work of classical Chinese myth The Investiture of the Gods. Earlier this month it became the biggest animated movie in China and was called "the glory of domestic anime (国产动漫)".
Indeed, the long history and splendid classic works have given China a profound culture. Myths
and legends are the creative works of tremendous imagination. As Global Times put it, today by revisiting a modern context, "ancient myths has the power to inspire imagination in young people". After all, imagination is the beginning of creation.
(1)What do we know about HamonyOS?
A. Its release raised a storm of objections.
B. It is named after creature in myth.
C. It combines high technology and culture.
D. It's the best operating system.
(2)Which of the following best explains "innovative" underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. creative
B. modern
C. popular
D. intelligent
(3)How do the public think of Huawei's use of the names?

B. Unexpected.
C. Approving.
D. Doubtful.
(4)What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. The film Ne Zha is not adapted from myths.
B. The film Ne Zha is a big hit.
C. More businesses follow Huawei's lead.
D. Ancient myths is a good choice for entertainment.

A photography exhibition by French artist San Bartolome entitled Moon Door Dreamers opened in the 798 Art Zone in Beijing on December 10, 2011, presenting a cross-cultural perspective (视角) on ordinary life in the capital city.
Bartolome took these photos in August 2008, and produced a video named Two Worlds, One Dream. These works were displayed in Pingyao, an ancient city in Shanxi Province, under the title Beijing Midsummer Night Dream in September 2010.
The moon doors serve as a keyhole through which one can catch a glimpse of a slice of Beijing life. He got his inspiration from one cycling trip to the southeastern suburb of Beijing, where he discovered a peculiar street along which a gray brick wall was built to cover the shabby bungalows. These cabins were mostly rented by migrant workers- peddlers, craftsmen, grocers and innkeepers.
Born in 1950, Bartolome has worked as a photographer, stage director. Artistic manager, writer and diplomat. A noted Sinophile, Bartolome frequently visits China for photographic subjects. In the fall of 2003, he joined the French Embassy in Beijing as a cultural attache. His work experience in China from 2003 to 2015 further enhanced his awareness of and love for China.
Bartolome not only loves Chinese culture but also the Chinese people. He thinks that Chinese people are kind, welcoming and diverse.
Back from his bike ride to southeastern Beijing, he decided to shoot pictures about ordinary urban lifestyles. He observed dwellers carefully and made friends with them.
After about 30 days and nights that he spent with these common migrants, he created a number of portraits. Meanwhile, he learned more about those rural migrants who earn their living in a city with which they are unfamiliar.
He adopted an optimistic perspective to shoot the sights, and he borrowed the title of one of William Shakespeare s comedy works: A Midsummer Night's Dream.
