析
第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项
A
I started working with my hands at a young age. The youngest of five brothers, I took on the role as a “maintenance (维修) man” at an early age for our family’s small grocery store. Often my dad wouldn’t give me a clear idea of how something shouldbe done, so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error.
Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High School’s Homebuilding class. I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nails or cut pieces of two-by-fours. The problem was that we didn’t have the resources at the time to do much else. The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important. Designing, building and selling a tiny house on wheels seemed like the perfect project to accomplishthe task. I reached out to a number of local businesses and most of them responded with the greatest support for what x k w we were doing.
This year we added a new element to the program. Through one of our partners, we were able to connect with the nonprofit Veteran’s Ananda Incorporated. Students in the Homebuilding class are leading the design and production of micro houses to be donated to this organization. The new partnership gives the students another focus to consider when designing and building the houses.
There has been no shortage of students since our first year. Three years ago we had 41 students, the next 191, and this year it was limited to just over 160 students so we could have a safe and manageable classroom environment. The number of girls taking the class has risen steadily over the last few years as well. This class offers something for everyone and the skills are universal.
1. How can we describe the young author?
A. He opened a small grocery store.
B. He did a lot of research in the lab.
C. He enjoyed doing hands-on activities.
D. He learnt about maintenance from his father.
2. What do the underlined words “the task” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Getting some financial support.
B. Selling a tiny house on wheels.
C. Reaching out to many local businesses.
D. Offering the students some problem-solving skills.
3. What can be inferred about the Homebuilding class from the last paragraph?
A. Its size needs increasing.
B. Itis popular with the students.
C. It has caused some safety concerns.
D. Its classroom environment is hard to manage.
B
Following the Famous Silk Roads
The Silk Roads were a networkof ancient trade routes that extended from East Asia all the way to theMediterranean. A key section of the Silk Roads is the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor（走廊）, whichstretchesover a distance of around 5,000 kilometres through China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, covering a total of 8,700 kilometres of trade routes. The three countries jointly pursued an application for UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) status which contained detailed research on the 33 sites along the corridor. This made history as the first successful multinational World Heritage application.
The starting point of the corridor and the entire Silk Roads network isXi’an, inShanxiProvince. Further west on the Silk Roads, the geography gradually changes from wild deserts to high, snow-capped mountains to vast grasslands as the routes pass through theTianshanMountainsand emerge in the valleys ofCentral Asia. Although the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor of the Silk Roads ends here, the network continues westwards until it reaches theMediterranean.
The corridor began to develop in the 2nd century. Assigned by the emperor, the ambassador Zhang Qian journeyed from Chang’an toCentral Asia, seeking to build bridges between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions. Following Zhang’s efforts, trade routes took shape and relationships were strengthened between the major powers of the time, with the routes network reaching as far as theRoman Empire.
Economic activities along the routes network were not limited to trade in silk. They contributed many other items to the marketplace of goods. The routes were busy with camels carrying loads of goods and businessmen selling everything imaginable.China’s exports included silk, porcelain, ironware and tea, while horses, jewellery, spices and grapes were all imported over vast distances from the West.
In addition to trade exchange, the network served as a bridge for cultural exchange which shaped the
evolution of science, art, technology and many other areas in societies along the network. Astronomy and mathematics were introduced toChinafromIndiaandArabia; important Chinese inventions such as papermaking and printing were brought to the West.
All of these activities contributed to a great age of expansion as trade and cultural exchanges gave people access to new goods,knowledge and ideas. These routes connected Eastern and Western civilizations, which achieved a shared development. The addition of the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor to the UNESCO World Heritage List is a milestone in recognition of the Silk Roads as a crucial part of humanity’s common heritage.
4. The key section of the Silk Roads is________.
A. the Mediterranean
B. Xi’an, inShanxiProvince
C.KazakhstanandKyrgyzstan
D. the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor
5. The underlined word “stretches” in Paragraph 1 is close in meaning to________.
A. stands
B. spreads
C. moves
D. flies
6. Zhang Qian travelled from Chang’an toCentral Asiato________.
A. export silk, porcelain, ironware and tea
B. purchase horses, jewellery, spices and grapes
C. seek help from the most powerful western countries
D. build bridges between his country and other countries
7. What was the role of the Silk Roads according to the passage?
A. It helped to change the wild deserts to grasslands.
B. It was recognized by the UNESCO asChina’s heritage.
C. It speeded up the development of the countries involved.
D. It started a trade competition between countries along the way.
C
14 days. That’s the time Chinese scientists took to identify the full genetic sequence of the novel coronavirus (新冠病毒) since its outbreak. It was shared with the WHO immediately, and has now become an important foundation for global researchers in the fight against the COVID-19. But first, let us turn the clock back 17 years, when it took months to identify the SARS virus. From months to 14 days, what changed? It turns out AI played an important part.
The scientists first obtained bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid (支气管扩张灌洗液) samples from patients, isolated (分离) the DNA and RNA, then sequenced the genetic material by comparing them. AI’s advantage is its
ability to recognize patterns among a flood of data.
Let me put it in a simple way. Sequencing the coronavirus genome (基因组) is similarto looking for a needle in a haystack (干草堆)---looking for genotypes (基因型) with specific characteristics from a huge gene pool. That’s where search algorithm (算法), a branch of modern AI, comes in. Think of it as an efficient search engine, which can find the needle in the haystack. This search algorithm can shorten months-long genetic sequencing to weeks or even just a few days. Combined with macro-genomic sequencing and a virus library, this AI technology can also be used in tracking virus mutation (突变).
AI doesn’t just support scientists. It can also help patients by improving the efficiency of diagnosis (诊断).Chinalaunched a Genomics Service, which can run multiple virus gene comparisons and produce a detailed report within 60 seconds. This algorithm hasbeen put into use inChinaand shared to the world for free.
8. AI’s advantage is that it can ________.
A. slow down the spread of coronavirus
B. separate DNA from RNA
C.identify specific genotypes rapidly
D. obtain samples from patients quickly
9. The search algorithm helps shorten the time of genetic sequencing by __________.
A. finding a needle in a haystack
B. serving as a search engine
C. combining with a virus library
D. tracing virus mutation
10. What do we know about the Genomics Service in the last paragraph?
A. It has been widely used in the world.
B. It is mainly based on blood test.
C. It is for fast diagnosis of COVID-19.
D. It is used to track COVID-19 patients.
11. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. 14 Days---ChinaMade it!
B. AI Assists in COVID-19 Fight
C. Search Algorithm, Best Choice
D. China’s Genomics Service
D
One rainy afternoon, I was on a crosstown bus when ayoung woman jumped on. She had a child with her who must have been about 3 or 4 years old.
The bus was full, bumpy, and it soon got noisy as her kid began crying because he couldn’t sit next to his mother. There were a couple of open seats, but they weren’t together. She wasflusteredand looked embarrassed.
Then another woman, a little older, stood up and moved so that the mother and child could sit together. The mom smiled as a thank-you. And then three words came out of the older woman’s mouth that elevated the entire energy of that bus ride: “I’ve been there”.
Simple, undramatic and honest. In that moment, it seemed to unite people. Why? Because almost all experiences are shared human experiences. We forget that, as we forge (前进) through life, focused onour own troubles and needs—which are actually less unique than we think. How can these three words create more connection in your life? Ask yourself: “Where am I holding back?
One thing I know for sure is this: Healing others helps heal yourself. I noticed this recently with my friend, Tracy, who took a new friend who had suffered a miscarriage under her wing. Tracy had three of them before having her daughter two years ago. Our intellect needs a doctor to explain the medical side of things, yes. But our souls need human connection to help us along. No one can do that better than someone who has been exactly where you are.
Can the essence of these three words help you make a small difference right now? It can be as simple as volunteering your seat, sharing some helpful advice or even lightening the mood with a joke when you notice that someone’s uncomfortable—because we’re all in this together.
12. The underlined word “flustered” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A. angry
B. anxious
C.scared
D. upset
13. What does the woman mean by saying “ I’ve been there”in the third paragraph？
A. The woman was on the bus and saw what had happened to the boy.
B. The woman got to her destination and was ready to get off the bus.
C. The woman once had the similar experience with that mother.
D. The woman took the exact seat that the boy was on just now.
14. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Everyone has his or her own unique problem that is difficult to solve.
B. Doctors can help us get through when we have mental or physical problems.
C. The author’s friend Tracy felt better after she was comforted by her new friend.
D. One can indeed make a difference to those in need of help by doing simple things.
15. The passage isintended to _______.
A. show a harmonious world by telling some touching stories
B. praise those who are willing to help others in emergencies
C. appeal to readers to give timely help to those in need
D. illustrate some ways of helping others in detail

52.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。

School mornings were always busy. The first sentence I usually heard was. "It's time to rise and shine!" It was my mother's loudest voice. and there was no way I could ignore it or hide from it.
"Okay, Mom. I am getting up and dressed!" When I got up. Mon's loudest voice rose again as she announced, " Breakfast is ready!" By then, the house was filled with the good smell of breakfast and I couldn't help getting to the kitchen fast enough.
“Thanks, Mom! This is my favorite,” I said, enjoying the dishes.
Mom replied, “You are welcome, my dear. Now grab your lunch bag and books. The school bus will be here any minute!" My sisters and I ran out to the bus stop as we grabbed our lunch bags that contained a sandwich, fruit and dessert.
Then one day, to my surprise, there was no dessert in my lunch bag. I looked through every part of my lunch bag, and even turned it upside down. My dessert just wasn't there. What could have happened to it? Did Mom forget to make it? “Well," I thought, "it's only one time, so it's no big deal." But for the next several days, my lunch bag contained no dessert. So one day as soon as I got home from school, I asked Mom if she forgot to put a dessert in my lunch bag.
Mom was surprised and responded, “Why? I have been including a dessert in your lunch bag every day. If you are not getting them, then who is?"
Soon when I reviewed my activities and schedules in school, I found Carl-the terror of the third grade. No one liked him in his class because he was rough, often fighting with other boys. Now even worse-he was a thief. "He must be punished," I said angrily. But my Mom seemed to be not angry at all.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

After knowing everything about Carl, my Mom told me her way to solve this problem.
