文章大意：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

作者通过叙述自己在Jayne教授所教科目下，努力争取A级并获得奖学金的故事告诉我们：不管做什么事，自身的努力不可或缺，任何人都有泄气的时候，但只有通过不断努力，给自己设定目标，才能不断进步。

1．A．take B．discuss
C．cover D．get
解析：考查动词词义辨析。

句意：作为一个优等生，我相信我可以选修一些困难的科目，并真正学到一些东西。

A．take 学习，读，修(课程)；B.discuss讨论；C.cover覆盖，涉及；
D.get 得到。

由下文的subjects可推断，此处表示选修一些课程，学习一门课程，修一门课程，习惯上都用take。

故选A。

2．A．sought B．presented
C．exchanged D．obtained
解析：考查动词词义辨析。

句意：我非常喜欢他在课堂上提出的一些观点。

A.sought 寻求；B.presented提出；C.exchanged交换；D.obtained获得。

根据空格后的“in class和the ideas”可推断，此处指的是老师在课堂上所提出的观点思想，是我非常喜欢的，因此作者选修了这门课程，用present ideas。

故选B。

3．A．shocked B．worried
C．scared D．anxious
解析：考查形容词词义辨析。

句意：当我参加第一次考试时，我震惊地发现我的试卷上只有77分，一个C＋。

A.shocked震惊的；B.worried担心的；C.scared害怕的；D.anxious 焦急的。

第一段讲我对自己信心满满，可第二段来个大转折，第一次考试后，意外地发现竟然只得了77分，所以是shocked非常吃惊，而worried担心，scared害怕，anxious焦急，都不符合人物心理感受。

故选A。

4．A．unchanged B．unpleasant
C．unfriendly D．unmoved
解析：考查形容词词义辨析。

句意：我去找杰恩教授，他听了我的论点，但无动于衷。

A.unchanged不改变的；
B.unpleasant不开心的；
C.unfriendly不友好的；
D.unmoved不为所动。

根据“but remained”可知，老师没有改变给我的分数。

故选D。

5．A．quarreled B．reasoned
C．bargained D．chatted
解析：考查动词词义辨析。

句意：我又一次和杰恩教授理论。

A.quarreled争吵；B.reasoned 争辩，推理；C.bargained讨价还价；D.chatted闲谈。

我再次遭遇77分，于是再次去找老师理论，reason with sb.与某人讲道理，说服某人。

故选B。

6．A．attitude B．mind
C．plan D．view
解析：考查名词词义辨析。

句意：他又一次耐心地听着，但就是不愿改变主意。

A.attitude 态度；B.mind主意；C.plan计划；D.view观点。

这里，老师听完之后，再次无动于衷，他没有改变他的．..，attitude迷惑性最大，注意，这里探讨的还是分数能不能更改的事，而change one's mind是英语中一个比较常见的搭配，意为“改变一个人的想法或决定”，相对于态度，改分数的事更多是关于改变决定的。

故选B。

7．A．memorized B．considered
C．accepted D．learned
解析：考查动词词义辨析。

句意：于是我加倍努力，第一次懂得了“彻底”这个词的含义。

？A.memorized记忆；B.considered考虑；C.accepted接受；D.learned学习，得知。

这一次，我显然是拼命学习，那么是真的第一次了解到啥叫“彻底”了。

故选D。

8．A．stayed B．went
C．worked D．changed
解析：考查动词词义辨析。

句意：但我的努力没有奏效，一切都像以前一样。

A.stayed 停留，保持；B.went进行；C.worked工作；D.changed改变。

根据“my efforts were no good”可知我的努力结果不好，跟以前一样，没有改变。

everything goes well，一切都很顺利，这里是一切都像从前一样，用go就很合理了，故选B。

9．A．grade B．answer
C．lesson D．comment
解析：考查名词词义辨析。

句意：不管我得多少分，都不能取消三个C＋。

A.grade分数；B.answer★★★答案★★★；C.lesson课程；ment评论。

根据后文“three Cpluses”可知此处指的是分数。

故选A。

10．A．scholarship B．course
C．degree D．subject
解析：考查名词词义辨析。

句意：我还是跟奖学金说再见吧。

A.scholarship奖学金；
B.course课程；
C.degree学位；
D.subject科目。

根据文章第一段“to earn a scholarship”和最后一段“I received my scholarship”可知，这里是我以为自己拿不到奖学金了。

故选A。

11．A．helped B．favored
C．treated D．relaxed
解析：考查动词和固定搭配，句意：在期末考试的前一天晚上，我甚至请自己去看了电影。

A.helped帮助；B.favored赞同；C.treated对待；D.relaxed放松。

treat sb.to＋饭/娱乐活动，是固定搭配，意为“请某人吃饭/娱乐等”。

I even treated myself to a movie表示考前很放松，自己掏钱去看电影。

故选C。

12．A．fun B．luck
C．problems D．tricks
解析：考查名词词义辨析。

句意：第二天，我决定开心地考一次试。

A.fun乐趣；B.luck 运气；C.problems问题；D.tricks阴谋，花招。

根据前文考前请自己看电影，可知这里指“乐趣”。

发现这时我是很放松的，甚至考试的时候，决定把考试当作一种fun乐趣，而与luck 运气，problems问题，trick把戏技巧，没有关系。

故选A。

13．A．happened B．proved
C．pretended D．seemed
解析：考查动词词义辨析。

句意：他好像在等我。

A.happened发生；B.proved证明；
C.pretended假装；
D.seemed好像，似乎。

happen to碰巧；意外，prove to证明，pretend to 假装，seem to好像，似乎，根据语境可知，一周后，惊喜地发现自己居然得了A，跑去找老师，发现老师好像早料到我会来，所以在等。

故选D。

14．A．valued B．imagined
C．expected D．welcomed
解析：考查动词词义辨析。

句意：“如果我给了你所期望的A，你就不会继续努力学习了。

”A.valued珍惜；B.imagined想象；C.expected期待；D.welcomed欢迎。

根据下文“you wouldn't continue to work hard”并结合上文内容可知，老师说，如果我原来给了你所期望的成绩A，那么你就不会这么努力付出了。

所以是expect期待期望，其他的都不通。

故选C。

15．A．remembering B．guessing
C．supposing D．realizing
解析：考查动词词义辨析。

句意：我盯着他，意识到他的分析和策略是正确的。

A.remembering记住；
B.guessing猜测；
C.supposing猜想；
D.realizing意识到；理解；领会。

此处表示我看着他，这时才真正明白了他的用心。

故选D。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Like many young people around the world, Emmanuel dreamed of getting a university education in the United States.The 26yearold is an undocumented immigrant.This means he does not have the official permission needed to enter, live in, or work in the U．S.Emmanuel came to America from Mexico five years ago, when he discovered that he had to learn English and his dream was much more difficult to achieve.The major difficulty he realized was that there were very few opportunities for him to really receive a formal education.
Federal laws do not prevent immigrants from going to college.But laws do ban illegal immigrants from receiving government financial aid.The average cost of a fouryear degree at a public university is $9,410.By comparison, the average cost at a private university is D|S32,405.
Many immigrants come to the U．S.with little money, so they usually can't afford the expensive education.Emmanuel read about University of the People which has no tuition fee.The classes and teaching materials are all free online.All the teachers are volunteers.But students must be at least 18 years old and have completed high school.The university just requires students to pay a $50 application fee when they are admitted and a $100 test fee when they complete a class.
Shai Reshef is the president of University of the People.He was born in Israel.He decided to create a tuitionfree(免费) university after visiting several poor countries, where people had limited higher education opportunities.He notes that University of the People is a model to show universities and governments that the issue can be solved.Higher education can be affordable, can be highquality and shouldn't leave anyone behind.
Currently, there are more than 2,500 students studying with the University of the People.It only provides degrees in computer science and business administration.The university expects the student number to double next year.

A．It is difficult in Israel.
B．The cost of it needs to be increased.
C．It should be accessible to everybody.

B
(2020·新高考全国卷Ⅰ) Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body
weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
文章大意：这是一篇说明文。

短文介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势，但是之前受过伤的人，要想从事这样运动要谨慎，最好咨询专家的建议。

5．Why are race walkers conditioned athletes？ C
A．They must run long distances.
B．They are qualified for the marathon.
C．They have to follow special rules.
D．They are good at swinging their legs.
解析：细节理解题。

根据第二段“But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.”可知，但这项运动的规则要求竞走者的膝盖在摆动腿的大部分时间保持伸直，一只脚始终与地面接触。

由此可知，竞走运动员是需要具备某些条件的运动员是因为运动员需要遵守特殊的规则。

故选C项。

6．What advantage does race walking have over running？ D
A．It's more popular at the Olympics.
B．It's less challenging physically.
C．It's more effective in body building.
D．It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
解析：细节理解题。

根据最后一段“As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers.”可知，一些与跑步有关的损伤，比如跑步者的膝盖，在竞走者中并不常见。

由此可知，竞走与跑步相比的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。

故选D项。

7．What is Dr.Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking？ A
A．Getting experts' opinions.
B．Having a medical checkup.
C．Hiring an experienced coach.
D．Doing regular exercises.
解析：细节理解题。

根据最后一段Dr. Norberg说的话“In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique(事实上，任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走运动员，学习适当的技巧。

)”
可知，Dr. Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。

故选A项。

8．Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking？ B
A．Skeptical.B．Objective.
C．Tolerant. D．Conservative.
解析：推理判断题。

根据第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.”可知，研究表明，竞走和跑步一样有很多健身益处，而且它还很少导致受伤。

不过，它也有自己的问题。

由此判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。

故选B项。
