一、阅读选择
One day, the sewer line（污水管道）under my house burst. My first response was to call the plumber, but when he heard what had happened, he said he couldn’t help. “We don’t do that,” he said, as if to suggest that even plumbers have their dignity. He did, however, recommend someone. I made the call, expecting the man to complain at such a miserable job. Instead, he simply asked, “The address?”
2And that was it. An hour later, Steve arrived in his truck. I watched as he walked down into the damp depths. A few moments later he appeared, saying, “Yes. It’s broken.”
“Can you fix it?” I asked with a strange mixture of doubt and hope.
3Steve looked at me strangely as if rebuking my lack of faith, and then said, “Sure.” Then he told me that he had to get a backhoe（反铲挖土机）and dig up the street to the main sewer line.
I showed appropriate panic. “How long will all this take?”
“I should have it done by evening.”
4I didn’t want to watch the excavation（挖掘）of my property unfold. All I wanted was to leave, go somewhere, and, upon my return, have everything the way it was before the damage.
5I felt somewhat guilty upon driving off in my clean car, leaving Steve to such a disagreeable task. I went into town and visited a few friends. Eventually, around 6 p.m., my curiosity got the better of me. I went home, and a sweeter sight I never saw: a patch of newly-paved street and a covered-up excavation across my front garden. I opened the basement door and—all was tidy and relatively dry.
6I sat down on the back garden, lost in thought. I was taken by the very idea that, whatever crisis might happen to an unlucky homeowner, there is somebody, somewhere, who is practiced in its resolutio n. If that’s not reason for thankfulness, I’m not sure what is.
1．Why did the first plumber reject the author’s request?
A．He wanted to protect his dignity. B．He was inexperienced in the job. C．He had another urgent task to do. D．He thought the job was unpleasant.
2．What does the underlined word “rebuking” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Admiring. B．Blaming.
C．Accepting. D．Neglecting.
3．What caused the author to feel upset?
A．The fear of Stevens refusal. B．The pressure of having to go out. C．The difficulty of the repair work. D．The effects of the broken sewer line. 4．What was the author’s purpose of going into town?
A．To remove his negative emotions. B．To avoid doing the excavation work. C．To visit a couple of friends. D．To satisfy his own curiosity.
More than a billion people around the world have smart phones,almost all of which come with navigation(导航)apps such as Google or Apple Maps.This raises the questions we meet with any technology:What skills are we losing?What abilities are we gaining?
Talking with p eople who’re good at finding their way around or using paper maps,I often hear lots of frustration with digital maps.North/South direction gets messed up,and you can see only a small section at a time.
But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me.Despite being a frequent traveler,I’m so terrible at finding my way that I still use Google Maps every day in the small town where I have lived for many years.What looks like an imperfect product to some has been a significant expansion of my own abilities.
Part of the problem is that reading paper maps requires specific skills.There is nothing natural about them.In many developed nations,including the U.S.,one expects street names and house numbers to be meaningful references,and instruc tions such as“go north for three blocks and then west”make sense.In Istanbul,in contrast,where I grew up,none of those hold true.For one thing,the locals rarely use street names.Why bother when a government or a military group might change them again?Besides,the city is full of winding,ancient alleys that meet newer avenues at many angles.Instructions as simple as“go north”would require a helicopter or a bulldozer(推土机).
Let’s come back to my original questions.While we often lose some skills after leaving t he work to technology,it may also allow us to expand our abilities.Consider the calculator:I don’t doubt that our arithmetic skills might have dropped a bit as the little machines became common,but calculations that were once boring and tricky are now much more straightforward
and one can certainly do more complex calculations more confidently.
5．What is the drawback of digital maps?
A．They aren’t connected to smart phones.B．They cost too much to download. C．They leave some users frustrated. D．They mix up the south and the north. 6．What’s the author’s attitude toward digital maps?
A．Doubtful B．ambiguous C．Supportive D．Uncaring. 7．What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?
A．No calculators,no digital maps.
B．Technology is not developed in a day.
C．Two paper maps are better than a digital one.
D．When technology closes a door,it opens one as well.
What do the random,scribbled(潦草的)drawings crowding the margins(页边空白)of most high school students’papers mean?When a student is caught doodling(乱画)in class,he will probably be criticized for daydreaming.But doodling while listening can help with remembering details,rather than implying that the mind is wandering,according to a study published in the scientific journal Applied Cognitive Psychology.
In an experiment conducted by the Medical Research Council’s Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge,40 subjects were asked to listen to a two-minute tape giving several names of people and places.Half of the participants were asked to shade in shapes on a piece of paper at the same time,without paying attention to neatness,while the rest were given no such instructions.After the tape had finished,all participants in the study were asked to recall the names of people and places.The doodlers recalled on average 7.5 names of people and places,compared to only 5.8 by the non—doodlers.
“If someone is doing a boring task,like listening to a dull telephone conversation,they may start to daydream.”said study researcher,Professor Jackie Andrade,of the School of Psychology,University of Plymouth.“Daydreaming distracts them from the task,resulting in poorer performance.A simple task,like doodling,may be enough to stop daydreaming without affecting performance on the main task.”
“In psychology,tests of memory or att ention will often use a second task to selectively block a particular mental process.If that process is important for the main task,then performance will be weakened.But my research suggests that in everyday life doodling may be
something we do because it helps to keep us on track with a boring,task,rather than being an unnecessary distraction(分心)that we should try to resist doing.”said Andrade.
Dan Ware,a social study teacher,used to consider doodling a distraction from learning,but after teaching kids with all personality types he learned scribbling away during lectures helps certain students remember more information.“In my first few years of teaching,I
thought,‘Well,this kid isn’t paying attention.He’s daydreaming.’But I had some really powerful experiences with students and came to understand in many cases that was their way of focusing,and those students were probably paying more attention than other students.”Ware said.
8．What do we know about the participants involved in the experiment?
A．Some were asked to note down the information neatly.
B．Some were asked to memorize the names they would hear.
C．Some were instructed to listen to the tape with full attention.
D．Some were instructed to make random drawings on paper.
9．Which of the following will both Jackie Andrade and Dan Ware agree with? A．Doodling helps some people focus.
B．Doodling makes a dull task interesting.
C．Students who doodle perform poorly.
D．Students who doodle lack concentration.
10．What is the best title of the text?
A．Daydreaming Can Sharpen Study Skills
B．Doodling Can Help Memory Recall
C．A Wandering Mind Improves Productivity
D．Distractions Harm Academic Performance

本文是记叙文。

作者家的污水管道裂了，请Steve来帮助维修。

修理污水管道是又脏又麻烦的活，作者感到心烦，自己去镇上，让Steve一个人维修。

等他傍晚回来的时候，作者看到一切都收拾得干干净净。

作者感激帮助他解决危机的人。

1．
推理判断题。

文章第一段中提到“the sewer line（污水管道）under my house burst.”作者家里的污水管道破了，请水管工维修，但是水管工拒绝了。

根据下文中“ as if to suggest that even plumbers have their dignity.”以及“such a miserable job”可知，水管工不愿意修理污水管道，是因为不愿意做这样的又脏又辛苦的活。

故选D项。

2．
词句猜测题。

划线词上一句提到““Can you fix it?” I asked with a strange mixture of doubt and hope.”作者问Steve的时候，带着一种既怀疑他能否修好，同时又希望他能修好的奇怪心情。

根据划线词前后的句子“Steve looked at me strangely”和“my lack of faith”，Steve奇怪地看着作者，应该是怪作者对他没有信心。

由此可以推测，rebuke意思为“责怪，指责”。

故选B项。

3．
细节理解题。

根据第三段中“Then he told me that he had to get a backhoe（反铲挖土机）and dig up the street to the main sewer line.”作者请Steve来维修污水管道，维修工作得要反铲挖土机，用来挖开街上主要的污水管线。

因此修理工作的困难让作者感到烦心。

故选C 项。

4．

根据第四段中“I didn’t want to watch the excavation（挖掘）of my property unfold. All I wanted was to leave, go somewhere, and, upon my return, have everything the way it was before the damage.”作者不想看到很脏的污水管道被挖开，于是只想离开，希望等他回来的
时候，一切恢复到损坏前的样子。

由此可以推断，作者觉得烦心，离开去镇上是想消除他的负面情绪。

故选A项。

5．C
6．C
7．D
【分析】
本文是说明文。

文章主要描述人们使用电子产品感到不足，但是作者认为使用一些高科技产品，可能会使人们失去某些方面的能力，但是同时也可能会扩展人们其他方面的能力。

5．
细节理解题。

根据文章第二段“Talking with people who’re good at finding their way around or using paper maps, I often hear lots of frustration with digital maps.”在与那些擅长找路或使用纸质地图的人交谈时，我经常听到人们对电子地图感到沮丧。

所以电子地图的缺点是让使用者沮丧。

故选C项。

6．
推理判断题。

根据文章第三段“What looks like an imperfect product to some has been a significant expansion of my own abilities” 在某些人看来不完美的产品，其实是对自己能力的极大扩展。

可以推断出作者是受益于电子地图，是持支持态度的。

故选C项。

7．
推理判断题。

根据最后一段“While we often lose some skills after leaving the work to technology, it may also allow us to expand our abilities”当我们把工作留给技术后，我们经常会失去一些技能，它也可以让我们扩展我们的能力。

以及后面计算器的这个例子，可知通过使用一些高科技产品，可能会使人们失去某些方面的能力，但是同时也可能会扩展人们其他方面的能力。

由此判断出，当技术关闭了一扇门，它也打开了一扇门。

故选D项。

8．D
9．A
10．B
【分析】
本文是说明文。

文章主要讲了根据研究，边听边涂鸦有助于记忆细节。

选项D“Some were instructed to make random drawings on paper. (一些参与者被要求在纸上随意画画。

)”与原文内容表达信息一致。

故选D项。

9．
推理判断题。

根据文章第四段内容“But my research suggests that in everyday life doodling may be something we do because it helps to keep us on track with a boring task, rather than being an unnecessary distraction that we should try to resist doing.”可知，Jackie Andrade的研究表明，在日常生活中，涂鸦有助于跟上无聊的任务，而不是一个不必要的分心；文章第五段内容“but after teaching kids with all personality types he learned scribbling away during lectures helps certain students remember more information.”可知，Dan Ware在教授了所有性格类型的孩子之后，了解到在课堂上涂鸦有助于某些学生记住更多信息。

因此可推知，在他们看来，涂鸦是有助于在任务中或课堂中集中精力的。

故选A项。

10．
主旨大意题。

根据文章体裁为说明文，文章结构为总分结构可知，文章首段提出主旨要义：But doodling while listening can help with remembering details, rather than implying that the mind is wandering, according to a study published in the scientific journal Applied Cognitive Psychology. (但是根据发表在科学期刊《应用认知心理学》上的一项研究，边听边涂鸦有助于记忆细节，而不是暗示走神。

故A选项“另一段运动视频则以Grover为主角。

”符合语境，故选A。

15．
根据后文A set of things children normally do can help them stay healthy. Even though things may be a little different right now, health experts recommend having a regular procedure every day while isolated(隔离).By doing so, parents and caregivers can give their children and themselves a sense of stability in this new normal.可知一套孩子们通常做的事情可以帮助他们保持健康。

【分析】
本文是说明文。

主要介绍了华为公司以及公司在疫情期间的影响。

36．
考查过去分词。

句意：华为技术有限公司是一家总部设在广东深圳的中国跨国网络和电信设备及服务公司。

with sth. done 表示某事已经做好，这里headquarters和set up之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词表示被动。

故填set。

37．
考查形容词最高级。

句意：它是世界上最大的电信设备制造商。

根据本句的in the world和空前的the，可知此处要填最高级形式。

故填largest。

38．
考查时态和语态。

句意：华为于1987年由任振飞创立。

本句的主语是Huawei，谓语动词是found，主谓之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态的结构be done，根据in 1987，时间发生在过去，用一般过去时，故填was founded。

39．
考查介词。

句意：成立之初，华为专注于大规模生产手机交换机。

focus on/upon表示“集中注意于”，是固定搭配，故填on/upon。

40．
考查定语从句。

句意：华为拥有超过14万名员工，其中约46%参与了研发。

_____ are taking part in research and development.是定语从句，先行词是employees，先行词是人，在从句中做介词of的宾语，所以此处只能用whom。

故填whom。

41．
考查时态。

句意：目前已在中国、美国、加拿大、英国等国家建立了21个研发机构。

根据时间状语so far，可知此处用现在完成时，主语为it，故填has established。

42．
考查副词。

句意：华为技术有限公司表示，其收入分别为人民币1,596亿元、人民币363亿元和人民币2558亿元。

此处需要修饰整个句子，所以用副词，故填respectively。

43．
考查现在分词。

句意：该公司2021年上半年的净利润率为9.2%，同比增长13.1%。

此处前后句没有连接词连接，所以mark是非谓语动词，这里mark与前面的句子在逻辑上是主动关系，故填marking。

44．
考查名词复数。

句意：随着全球各国都在努力解决COVID-19。

此处country前面没有冠词修饰，所以用复数形式，且be动词为are。

故填countries。

45．
考查冠词。

句意：信息和通信技术不仅成为抗击病毒的重要工具，而且成为经济复苏的一个引擎。

此处引擎是泛指“一个引擎”，所以用不定冠词，engine是元音开头，故填an。

46．One possible version:
Dear Jack,
I am sorry to hear of your trouble that you have some conflicts with your friend Mike. Now I am writing to you to express what I think we should do to get along well with our friends.
It is easy to make friends but not easy to make good ones. Of course, the concept of a good friend varies from person to person. In my opinion, a good friend should have the following basic qualities. First, a good friend must be an honest person. Good friends should be honest with each other. Second，a good friend must be a kind and helpful person. Good friends should help each other if they are in trouble. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Third，whoever is through thick and thin must be your good friend.
In a word, friends are mutual. I hope that by the time this letter reaches you, you will be feeling much better.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua 【分析】。
