China's Most Mysterious（神秘的）Internet Celebrity（网红）Her life looks like one straight out of a fairy tale（童话）. Li ziqi impresses millions with her videos, where she makes seemingly everything with her own two hands, from dyeing a dress with fresh grape juice to fashioning traditional lipstick from roses in her garden.
She has some 50 million fans in China and another 8 million overseas, but she remains a mystery to many of them. In her videos, she doesn't speak, and she rarely gives interviews. But now, she's ready to open up to us.
To find Li, we had to travel to rural（乡村的）Sichuan Province in southwestern China, where she grew up. Li grew up with her grandparents here. But they were poor, so when she turned 14, Li went to work in the city. In 2012, she decided to return to the countryside to take care of her grandmother.
Four years later, she started filming her life there. Whatever she makes, she leaves no stone unturned, going as far as raising baby ducklings just to make a sauce out of salted duck eggs.
Apart from food, she's also known for her videos presenting traditional crafts, like building a bamboo furniture set, which she says was inspired by one of her grandfather's old benches. Li's stylized presentations of rural life stand out in China's extremely competitive field of online videos.
Today, three years after she first picked up the camera, Li is one of China's most successful
online video makers.
4. How does Li ziqi impress millions with her videos?
A. She makes seemingly everything with her own two hands.
B. She returned to the countryside to take care of her grandmother.
C. She grew up with her grandparents in rural Sichuan Province.
D. She has been filming her life where she grew up.
5. Why does Li ziqi remain a mystery to many of her fans?
A. She lives a rural life far away from them.
B. She doesn't speak in her videos, and rarely gives interviews.
C. They don't know about the things that she makes.
D. They don't understand how she becomes so successful.
6. What does the underlined part "she leaves no stone unturned" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. She goes past many stones.
B. She turns every stone.
C. She thinks the opposite.
D. She searches thoroughly
7. Which word best describes the author's attitude to Li ziqi?
A. Humorous.
B. Objective.
C. Positive.
D. Negative.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了能动手制作一切的神秘网红——李子柒背后的故事。

【4题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“Li ziqi impresses millions with her videos, where she makes seemingly everything with her own two hands,”可知，李子柒的视频给数百万人留下了深刻印象，因为在视频中，她似乎能动手制作一切，故A项正确。

【5题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段中的“In her videos, she doesn't speak, and she rarely gives interviews.”可知，对很多粉丝来说，李子柒仍然是个谜是因为她在视频中从不说话，也很少接受采访，故B项正确。

【6题详解】
词句猜测题。

根据画线句后的“going as far as raising baby ducklings just to make a sauce out of
salted duck eggs.”可知，她要用咸鸭蛋做酱汁，因此她得千方百计地养鸭子，由此可知画线句的意思是“彻底地探求/竭尽全力”，故D项正确。

【7题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的“Li is one of China's most successful online video makers.”（李子柒是中国最成功的网络视频制作者之一）由此判断出，作者对李子柒持肯定态度，故C 项正确。

Could bike share programs lead to greater cycling safety?
In April 2015, Philadelphia introduced a bike share program. By 2019, there were more than 1,300 bikes and 400 pedal-assisted electric bicycles available. People used them for about 50,000 trips a month.
Before the introduction of the bike share program, the rate of bicycle-car accidents had been gradually increasing. By May 2015, the month after the introduction of the program, the rate was twice that of January 2010.
But the researchers, writing in the American Journal of Public Health, found that from that time through the end of 2018, the rate decreased by an average of 13 percent a year, despite the increases over those years in the number of bicycles on city streets, and even though Philadelphia made no major basic construction changes, like adding many protected bike lanes (自行车道).
The lead author, Ghassan B. Hamra, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said it appeared that there is safety in numbers: the more bikes on the road, the more car drivers adapt to their presence, and the safer cyclists may be.
“We all know that bike riding is a healthy activity, physically and mentally,” he said, “but there might be concerns that if you introduce a bike share program there will be negative consequences. We saw no evidence of that in Philadelphia.”
8. What has happened to the number of bicycle-car accidents with the introduction of the bike share program?
A. It has increased.
B. It has reduced.
C. It remains the same.
D. It is unknown.
9. What is the result of more bikes on the road?
A. Many protected bike lanes have been added.
B. Car drivers are more used to their presence.
C. More people take up bike riding as a healthy activity.
D. Negative consequences have appeared.
10. What happens between Ghassan B. Hamra and the bike share program in Philadelphia?
A. He is in favor of it.
B. He disapproves of it.
C. He brought it in.
D. He is concerned about it.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Sharing bikes, cutting accidents
B. Problems with sharing bikes
C Basic construction changes D. Share program in Philadelphia
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. A
【解析】
本文是一篇议论文。

文章论述了自行车共享计划能够提高骑车的安全性，减少自行车和汽车的事故率。

【8题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段中的Before the introduction of the bike share program, the rate of bicycle-car accidents had been gradually increasing.(在自行车共享计划推出之前，自行车和汽车的事故率一直在逐渐上升)及第四段中的But the researchers, writing in the American Journal of Public Health, found that from that time through the end of 2018, the rate decreased by an average of 13 percent a year,(但研究人员在《美国公共卫生杂志》上的发现,从那时候到2018年底，事故率平均下降了13%)可知，随着自行车共享计划的引入，自行车和汽车相撞的事故数量已经减少。

故选B。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。

根据倒数第二段The lead author, Ghassan B. Hamra, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said it appeared that there is safety in numbers: the more bikes on the road, the more car drivers adapt to their presence, and the safer cyclists may be.(该研究的第一作者、约翰霍普金斯大学布隆伯格公共卫生学院的助理教授Ghassan B. Hamra表示，数量似乎是安全的：路上的自行车越多，就会有更多的汽车司机适应它们的存在，骑自行车的人可能也会更安全)可知，道路上自行车增多的结果是汽车司机更习惯它们的存在。

故选B。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段“We all know that bike riding is a healthy activity, physical ly and mentally,” he said, “but there might be concerns that if you introduce a bike share program there will be negative consequences. We saw no evidence of that in Philadelphia.”(“我们都知道，骑自行车无论是在身体上还是在精神上都是一项有益健康的活动，”他说，“但人们可能会担心，如果你推出一项自行车共享计划，将会带来负面后果。

我们在费城没有看到这方面的证据。

”)可推知，Ghassan B. Hamra支持费城的自行车共享计划。

故选A。

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段Could bike share programs lead to greater cycling safety?(自行车共享计划能提高骑车的安全性吗？)及下文对推出自行车共享计划后自行车和汽车的事故率的研究分析可知，自行车共享计划能够提高骑车的安全性，减少自行车和汽车的事故率。

由此可知，A. Sharing bikes, cutting accidents(共享单车，减少事故)适合做本文最佳标题。

故选A。

D
An ageless question: When is someone “old”?
What does “old” really mean these days? This isn’t a meaningless question — not only does the definition of “old” have an outsized impact on how we feel about ourselves (not to mention h ow others view us), it also matters to policymakers determining how to plan for aging populations.
The United Nations historically has defined older persons as people 60 years or over (sometimes 65). It didn’t matter whether you lived in the United States, China or Senegal, even though life expectancy is quite different in each of those countries. Everyone became old at 60.
Researchers Sergei Scherbov and Warren Sanderson, who study aging, are suggesting overturning the one-size-fits-all-across-the-globe definition of old. Instead, they talk about “prospective age”, which looks to the future. Everyone with the same prospective age has the same expected remaining years of life.
Scherbov explained that young and old are relative concepts, and their common reference point is life expectancy. It makes sense that “old” would vary between nations, especially between more-and less-developed countries, with differences in education, death rates, access to health care and life expectancy.
But who is “old” also varies-widely-between individuals. The point, says Scherbov, is that personal age is dependent on our “characteristics” — understanding abilities, disability, health history and even education levels. Those with more education tend not to smoke, exercise more
frequently, have better diets and have regular checkups — and, therefore, live longer, meaning the beginning of their old age comes later, says Scherbov.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. How do we feel about ourselves?
B. How do others view us?
C. The importance of the definition of “old”.
D. The plan for aging populations.
13. What does the underlined phrase “prospective age” in paragraph 3 refer to according to the text?
A. The expected remaining years of one’s life.
B. The beginning of one’s old age.
C. The differences of our “characteristics”.
D. The age when one becomes old.
14. What similarity does Scherbov think young and old have?
A. Understanding abilities.
B. Nations.
C. Education.
D. The reference point.
15. Which of the following helps one to live longer?
A. As much exercise as possible.
B. Losing weight.
C. Studying history.
D. Improving the education level.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
本文是一篇议论文。

文章论述了一个永恒的问题：什么时候某人“老”了？
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段中的This isn’t a meaningless quest ion — not only does the definition of “old” have an outsized impact on how we feel about ourselves (not to mention how others view us), it also matters to policymakers determining how to plan for aging populations.可知，这不是一个毫无意义的问题——不仅“老”的定义对我们对自己的感觉有很大的影响（更不用说别人对我们的看法），它对决策者决定如何为人口老龄化制定计划也很重要。

由此可知，第一段主要是关于“老”定义的重要性。

故选C。

【13题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据划线词组后面的which looks to the future. Everyone with the same prospective age has the same expected remaining years of life.(即展望未来。

每个具有相同预期年龄的人都有相同的预期剩余寿命)可猜测，划线词prospective age指的是“人的预期寿命”。

故选A。

【14题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第四段中的Scherbov explained that young and old are relative concepts, and their common reference point is life expectancy.可知，Scherbov解释说，年轻和年老是相对的概念，他们共同的参照点是预期寿命。

由此可知，Scherbov认为年轻人和老年人都有参考点。

故选D。

【15题详解】
细节理解题。

根据最后一段中的Those with more education tend not to smoke, exercise more frequently, have better diets and have regular checkups — and, therefore, live longer, meaning the beginning of their old age comes later, says Scherbov.可知，那些受教育程度较高的人往往不吸烟，更经常锻炼，有更好的饮食习惯，定期检查身体——因此，寿命更长，意味着他们的老年期开始得更晚，Scherbov说。

由此可知，提高教育水平有助于长寿。

故选D。

____18____
For lots of people, the teenage years are full of worries-stop paying so much attention to them! Many worries are based on what other people think, rather than what you think.

Work to improve your social skills.
Some teens have trouble with social interaction, with the reasons behind it varying.

Consider working with a friend or a family member of close age to develop your social skills. ____19____
Keep good relations with your family.
Many teenagers become bad-tempered, withdrawn, and stop valuing family as much as they used to. Try to avoid this. Family is one of the most important connections in your life. ____20____ And plus, you see them every day. Why not make it nice to spend time with them?
A. Develop your sense of self.

【答案】16. D 17. F 18. A 19. G 20. E
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

虽然青少年时期的孩子，荷尔蒙会让人变得疯狂，但是这并不意味着他们不能享受青少年时期，文章就如何能快乐地度过青少年时期提出了一些有用的建议。

【16题详解】
根据上文Being a teenager can be challenging with your hormones going wild.(作为一个青少年，你的荷尔蒙会变得很疯狂)以及后文Here are some really useful tips for you to have enjoyable teenage years.(这里有一些非常有用的建议，可以帮助你度过愉快的青少年时期)由此可知，本句起到承上启下的作用，虽然青少年时期，荷尔蒙会让人变得疯狂，但是这并不意味着不能享受青少年时期，文章就此提出了一些有用的建议。

故D选项“但这并不意味着你不能享受青少年时期”符合语境，故选D。

【17题详解】
根据后文Some teens prefer to spend their teenage years with friends, while others prefer to study and work; some prefer to be quiet wallflowers, while others are loud and don't care if they stand out.可知一些青少年喜欢和朋友一起度过他们的青少年时期，而另一些人喜欢学习和工作；有些
人喜欢做安静的壁花，而有些人喜欢吵闹，不在乎自己是否引人注目。

由此可知，每个人度过青少年时期的方式都不一样，所以除了靠自己创造，并没有什么其他享受青少年生活的方法。

故F选项“除了靠自己创造的‘方式’，真的没有什么‘方式’可以享受青少年的生活!”符合语境，故选F。

【18题详解】
本空为本段小标题，根据本段内容For lots of people, the teenage years are full of worries-stop paying so much attention to them! Many worries are based on what other people think, rather than what you think. Go ahead and do what you want to do, without factoring in the opinion of others; choose your own path in life, and don't worry about what others think of your choices! Live it the way you want to.可知对很多人来说，青少年时期充满了忧虑——别太在意他们了！很多担心是建立在别人怎么想的基础上，而不是你怎么想的。

去做你想做的事，不要考虑别人的意见；选择你自己的生活道路，不要担心别人怎么看你的选择！用你想要的方式生活。

由此可知，本段强调的是，不要担心别人的眼光，而是用自己想要的方式生活，即发展自我意识。

故A 选项“发展你的自我意识”符合小标题，故选A。

【19题详解】
本句为本段最后一句，有总结上文的作用。

结合上文Consider working with a friend or a family member of close age to develop your social skills.可知考虑和年龄相近的朋友或家庭成员一起学习来发展你的社交技能。

由此可知，上文提到了一种发展社交技能的方法，本句应当是对这种方法的作用，进行进一步的解释说明。

故G选项“它可能不会取代新的社交，但它是很好的实践”符合语境，故选G。

【20题详解】
根据上文Try to avoid this. Family is one of the most important connections in your life.(尽量避免这种情况。

家庭是你生活中最重要的联系之一)以及后文And plus, you see them every day. Why not make it nice to spend time with them?(而且，你每天都能看到他们。

为什么不好好和他们在一起呢？)由此可知，本句承接上文进一步说明家庭关系的重要性，上文提到了应当避免和家人发生冲突和疏远，因为家庭是重要的联系，是发展所有关系的基石。

故E选项“它是你发展的所有关系的基石”符合语境，故选E。
