At Seattle’s Garfield High School, a dozen basketball players are practicing. These guys
take the game seriously at this school. A half-dozen coaches keep everyone focused as Garfield
prepares for a Saturday playoff game. In the middle of all this is Brandon Roy, the
former NBA All-Star and Garfield’s greatest player. Roy is the head coach.
Bad knees forced him out of pro basketball well before his time. Four years after his
forced NBA retirement, he began coaching at Seattle’s Nathan Hale High School in 2017
with no background whatsoever and won a state championship. He moved to his alma mater
(母校) the following year and got another state title with a once-beaten team. “Really the
thing that brought me to coaching was I missed basketball,” Roy said.
After taking 2019 off from coaching to deal with personal issues, Roy returned and has his
team pointed at state again. He owns a 78-5 coaching record.
With his success, others frequently discuss whether Roy wants to move up the ranks as he
did as a player. “My ultimate goal is not to coach in the NBA but to build a real strong
foundation at my alma mater. I don’t feel challenged to make it to the next level. I feel
challenged right here to make it at this level.”
As practice comes to a close, Roy gathers his players around him and his coaches and they
talk about the game ahead. Before everyone heads home, he has them shake hands. Players and
players. Coaches and players. It’s a show of respect and togetherness.
Mostly, he just listened to his mother and followed her insightful direction to become a
topflight coach. “My mom gave me the best advice — she said keep your ego (自我) out of
it,”Roy said. “She told me to forget what I had achieved in the NBA and be down-to-earth.
She trusted that I’d be pretty good at it.”
24. Why does Brandon Roy show up at court?
A. To prepare for a game as a player. B. To coach a student basketball team.
C. To look for future basketball players. D. To select former NBA players as assistants.
25. What happened to Brandon Roy in 2018?
A. He was badly injured. B. He was forced to retire.
C. He led a team to success. D. He gave up his basketball career.
26. What is Brandon Roy’s final goal?
A. Going back to the NBA as a professional player.
B. Being a professional coach in an NBA team.
C. Improving the basketball level of his alma mater’s team.
D. Becoming the greatest basketball player of his alma mater.
27. What lesson did Brandon Roy’s mother give him?
A. Try to trust others. B. Learn from the best.
C. Don’t become too proud. D. Never give up on dreams.
C
A beautiful three-story home sits at the corner of 10th and Center streets on the
Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) campus in Atlanta. From the outside, it
appears just like any other home, but inside, Georgia Tech researchers are testing and
developing new devices to find out which can make the home safer — and smarter — for older
adults.
The house is actually a living lab, called the Aware Home, and research conducted
there has revealed many top home-related concerns among older adults — unattended
cooking, water left running, TVs left on ... and doors left unlocked.
Now, some in-home technologies are in development — or on the market — to address
those concerns.
One new device called Inirv React connects your stove (炉具) to a sensor (传感器) in your
home and a smartphone app. The sensor will automatically turn the stove off if it no longer
detects movement around the appliance after a certain period of time. You can also turn the
stove off using your smartphone.Devices of the future are expected to collect and use data to become smarter, according to
Elizabeth Mynatt, a professor at Georgia Tech. “They will learn more about your habits,
your likes, your dislikes, your routines, when you’re most likely to forget to take your
medicine, what are the aspects of your health that need the most attention,” she said.
With any technology, “most people ask that question, ‘How invasive (侵扰的) is it?’ ...
But what we hear from older adults is that they value the safety that the technology
provides for them,” Mynatt said.
75-year-old Albert Bolet of Atlanta thinks most older adults are typically ready to bring
technology into their homes. “People have the misguided impression that seniors are opposed
( 对 立 的 ) to technology,” said Bolet. “We do understand wireless technology, and
we understand how these things will make things easier. Being independent is most
important in the mind of anybody that gets to be our age or older.”
28. What is the Aware Home?
A. A smart house. B. A research lab.
C. A nursing home. D. A science museum.
29. What will Inirv React do when it senses no movement around a stove for long?
A. Turn the stove off directly. B. Give out a warning sound.
C. Activate a sensor in the house. D. Send a message to a connected phone.
30. What will future smart home devices be like according to Mynatt?
A. They will provide medical advice. B. They will be more like caregivers.
C. They will become more personalized. D. They will replace caregivers in most cases.
31. What did Albert Bolet say about most seniors?
A. They are willing to use smart home devices.
B. They find it hard to keep up with new technology.
C. They prefer a simple life without technology.
D. They are becoming more dependent on the Internet.
D
A honey bee’s life depends on it successfully harvesting from flowers to make
honey. Deciding which flower is most likely to offer nectar ( 花 蜜) is incredibly difficult.
In new research published recently, our team reports how bees make these complex decisions.
We challenged bees with a field of artificial flowers, each of which offered a tiny drop of
sugar syrup. Different-colored “flowers” varied in their likelihood of offering sugar. We puttiny, harmless paint marks on the back of each bee, and filmed every visit a bee made to the
flower array. We then used computer vision and machine learning to automatically draw and
study the route on which bees flew through. From this information, we found bees very quickly
learned to identify the most rewarding flowers. They quickly assessed whether to accept or
reject a flower, but surprisingly they made correct decisions within 0.6 seconds while incorrect
decisions took them 1.2 seconds on average.
The results and what we expected are pol es apart . Usually in animals, an accurate decision
takes longer than an inaccurate decision. This is called the speed-accuracy tradeoffs which
happens because determining whether a decision is right or wrong usually depends on how
much evidence we have to make that decision. More evidence means a more accurate decision,
but gathering evidence takes time. So accurate decisions are usually slow and inaccurate
decisions are faster. But bees only accepted a flower if, at a glance, they were sure it
was rewarding. If they had any uncertainty, they rejected it. They might have missed
some rewarding flowers, but they successfully focused their efforts only on the flowers with
the best chance and best evidence ofproviding them with sugar.
The only other animals known to beat the speed-accuracy tradeoff are humans and primates.
It’s indeed amazing that bees seemed to be breaking this boundary.
32. How did researchers get the result of the experiment?
A. By observing bees in the wild. B. By analyzing bees ’ flight paths.
C. By testing bees in different colors. D. By comparing bees ’ food preference.
33. What did the research find about bees?
A. They could tell artificial flowers immediately.
B. They performed better in certain colored flowers.
C. They made right choices faster than the wrong ones.
D. They made more correct decisions than other species.
34. What does the underlined phrase “poles apart” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Contrary. B. Reasonable. C. Essential. D. Confusing.
35. Why do bees beat the speed-accuracy tradeoff?
A. They ignore uncertainties.
B. They gather evidence very fast.
C. They stay on the right track while flying.
D. They adopt a special decision-making mechanism.第二节(共 5 小题; 每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分)

The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh
the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 36 Some of us enjoy activities
that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with
how our brains work.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans.
Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 37 As the quality of risk-
taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of
adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too
much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few
stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still
exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 38
No matter where you are on the risk seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to
take risks increases during your teenage years. 39 To help you do that, your
brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some
risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well. It means taking some risks, so
your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
40 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while
for the rest ofus, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the
mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A. It all depends on your character.
B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous
situation.第三部分 语言运用(共两节, 满分 30 分)

half a century to 56 (conserve) the Mogao Caves at the heart of the ancient Silk Road
in Gansu Province. She 57 (honor) as the “Daughter of Dunhuang” in her field,

director of the Dunhuang Research Academy in 1984, 62 serves to prevent the
ancient site from being destroyed.
In the late 1980s, Fan came up with the idea of digitizing Dunhuang for the purpose of
permanently preserving the murals, painted sculptures and historical data. In 2016, Digital
Dunhuang was formally launched online, 63 (enable) people around the world to
enjoy clear panoramic images of the caves.
Today, thanks 64 the hard work of great archaeologists like Fan Jinshi, Dunhuang

I met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly
to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had
been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the
departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through
the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn’t heard of
the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly,
but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone
and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century,
Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there
was a long queue ( 队 列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind
the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. “We made it,” he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I
pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not
play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the
entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and
popped my card in, only to read the message: “Out of order. Sorry.”
注意:

书面表达One possible version:
Last week saw an outdoor labor activity held by our school, which was brimming with
great significance and well received by all the students.
We went to a local community garden. Upon arrival, we were divided into teams. Some of
us weeded the flower beds, carefully pulling out the unwanted plants. Others watered the
young saplings and trimmed the bushes. Everyone was fully engaged, working with
determination.
The work was challenging, but seeing the neat rows of young plants made me feel proud.
Not only did I gain direct labor experience but I also learned the importance of teamwork and
hard work.
读后续写One possible version:
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news . He looked at me in disbelief, asking me
what to do. Flashing him another apologetic smile, I begged him for a delayed payment. “If I
miss this last bus to Prague, I’ll be late for the conference which is so important that I can’t
afford to miss it!” I explained. “May I have your phone number? I will call you and return the
money I owe you. I promise I will keep my word or you keep my watch!” I added, handing him
my watch as well as my business card. Gunter accepted my business card but rejected my
watch. He wrote down his phone number and gave it to me. “Just keep your promise, Sir.” A
feeling of gratitude washed over me as I heard his words. Giving him a firm handshake, I
jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the bus, and jumped onto it just before its departure.
Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised . He picked me up
at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before. Beaming a warm smile at
him, I gave him a big hug the moment I saw him. We chatted happily on the way to the airport.
I told him that thanks to his generosity and timely help, everything had gone smoothly. When
he stopped his taxi outside the airport, I paid him for the “double car ride”, back and forthfrom the airport to the bus station, together with a generous tip that he turned down. I also
gave him an attractive souvenir I had bought at Prague, which he accepted with delight. We
became good friends and kept in touch with each other regularly. I felt blessed to have such a
warm-hearted friend like Gunter.
