If we can allow our children to be themselves without prejudice (偏见), they’ll build friendships with people,

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order—borrow at least one book from the library for the summer.
This was one more way for her to solve my strange problem—inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off
the shelf. The cover of a book caught my eyes. There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked the same as my
dog. I had recently had a beagle. He was my best friend, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who
had the space and the time to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening
the book, I borrowed it from the library.
Under a tree, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned
slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and finally
found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind
continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were running together.
My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had
loved reading that book.
第7页/共18页

When almost everyone has a mobile phone, why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a
landline (座机)?
These days, it would be hard for you to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile
phone. In fact, plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls
第8页/共18页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司anywhere, anytime.
Still, 55% of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their
smartphones, according to a survey. Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that it’s not really
necessary and they’re keeping it for a feeling of safety-19% say they never use it while a further 13% keep it in
case of accidents. I think my home falls into that group.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phones. Age is naturally a factor
—only 58% of Generation Ys (出生于1980至1990年末的一代人) still use landlines now and then, compared to
84 % of Baby Boomers (二战后生育高峰期出生的人) who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.
Age isn’t the only factor. I’d say it’s also to do with the makeup of your family.
Generation Xs (出生于1960至1970年的一代人) with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it
convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. To be honest, the
only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents. Sometimes, we play a game and guess
who is calling before we pick up the phone (using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).
How much do you depend on your landline? How long will they be used before going the way of gas street
lamps and morning milk deliveries?
28. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones?
A. Their users. B. Their functions.
C. Their popularity. D. Their design.
29. What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. warn B. argue C. remember D. admit
30. What can we say about Baby Boomers?
A. They keep using landline phones.
B. They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.
C. They like smartphone games.
D. They like their family very much.
31. What can we learn about the landline from the passage?
A. It remains a family necessity.
B. It is as important as the gas light.
C. It may increase daily costs.
D. It may not be used some day.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. D
【解析】
第9页/共18页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在几乎每个人都有手机的时候，超过半数的澳大利亚人仍然使用
座机的原因。

主旨大意题。根据“it would be hard for you to find anyone in Australia...who doesn’t own a mobile
phone...plenty of...Practically everyone...”可知，第二段主要告诉我们手机是十分流行的。故选C。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“a third concede that it’s not really necessary...”可知，此处指三分之一的人承认它真没有
必要，concede“承认”，作谓语，后接“that”引导的宾语从句，与D项“admit”同意。故选D。

Kite flying is the sport of sending up into the air, by means of the wind, a light frame covered with paper,
plastic or cloth. The frame can be one of many different shapes and is attached to a long string held in the hand or
wound on a drum. Kites have a long history of practical application and many different types of kites have been
developed to serve various purposes.
The ancient Chinese used bird-kites to carry ropes across rivers and valleys. The present folding kite which will
dive excitingly is an improved type of such a kite. With its long flat body and single pair of bird-like wings, it looks
just like a large bird in the air. The modern version is usually made of tissue-paper rather than the traditional silk.
Man-lifting kites were developed in ancient times, again by the Chinese, for getting information from walled
cities and army camps. In fact, as recently as World War II, German U-boats (德国U型潜艇兵) flew kites from their
towers to lift people into the air to watch the land. These kites, which are no longer in existence, were made of light-
weight cloth. They were much larger and stronger than the Chinese ones. Their design, however, was simply that of
the cutter kite. Smaller in size, this type of kite is still very popular as a toy for children, being easy to make with a
diamond-shaped frame, no wings and brown-paper covering.
Box-kites are another type of kites found in toy shops today. The first box-kite, named for its box-like body, was
developed in the nineteenth century to test theories of flight and this type of cotton-covered kite greatly led to the
success of early planes. These kites are the ancestors of a heavier version of the box-kite, which consists of two main
sections, placed side by side. Developed for the peacetime purpose of fishing in strong sea wind, it is the only modern

What exactly is intelligence? There aren’t any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics
and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most areas of modern science that causes public
discussion until now, for the discovery of a gene (基因) linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.
Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into
第11页/共18页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those
with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was
that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an
average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in
question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin
himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes connecting to intelligence,
rather than just one.
Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists are not
sure about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these. “The
people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”
Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn’t everything. Many different views
have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences (多元智能), which was developed in
the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including
creativity and communication skills as related factors in intelligence.
Tony Buzan, a brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is excited about this belief, arguing that true
geniuses do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo
Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence,
only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps there’s hope for us all!
35. Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?
A. To prove an idea. B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To make a suggestion. D. To give an example.
36. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The development of intelligence.
B. IQ isn’t everything for intelligence.
C. Different views have been put forward.
D. The idea of multiple intelligences.
37. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Robert Plomin proves genes have something in common.
B. Michael Rowe believes in a strong link between IQ and career.
C. Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors.
D. Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence.
38. What is the topic of the passage?
第12页/共18页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司.
A The relationship between genes and intelligence.
B. IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence.
C. What makes intelligence.
D. How to develop intelligence.
【答案】35. A 36. D 37. C 38. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍智力并不是受单方面影响，而是受多种因素影响的，本文介绍
了多元智力说。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more
common in those with a high Q.” 和“An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group
had the gene in question, ”可推断，作者使用数据是为了来证明这一观点。故选A。
【36题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中的 “One example is the idea of multiple intelligences (多元智能), …This offers a
much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as related factors in
intelligence.”可知，其中的一个例子就是20世纪80年代由HowardGardner提出的多元智力说，它提供了一
个比智商理论更为宽广的观点，由此可知This指代的就是前面提到的多元智力说，故选D。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn’t
everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple
intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. ” 可知，Howard
Gardner认为，智力包括多个因素。故选C。
【38题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是由开篇第一句话 “What exactly is intelligence? ”可知，全文是围绕这一话
题进行说明的，主要介绍了影响智力的因素，故选C。

Young Inventor Creates Plastic from Fish Scales
Lucy Hughes, a 24-year-old English inventor, has used fish skin and scales(鳞）to create a new kind of plastic
that will break down in about six weeks. Her invention won 2019 James Dyson Award, which was created by the
famous English inventor James Dyson to encourage students to try to use their creativity to solve problems in the
real world.
Lucy Hughes studied how to design products at the University of Sussex in England. As a designer, she knew

学科网（北京）股份有限公司a lot about how wasteful many products are. Plastic bags, for example, are often used once for a short time and then
thrown away. She decided to challenge herself to make something out of waste instead
The University of Sussex isn't far from the coast. Ms. Hughes spent some time studying the fishing business
and the waste from fish that were thrown away. After some tests, she decided that the fish skin and scales seemed
like the most likely parts for her product. She tried more than 100 different experiments before getting things just
right. Ms. Hughes called her finished product "MarinaTex". It solves two problems: the single-use plastic and fish
waste.
MarinaTex is clear and feels like plastic, but it's stronger than normal plastic that is of the same thickness. It is
also cheap to make since it's made from fish waste. The process of making MarinaTex also doesn't use much
energy. Most importantly, MarinaTex doesn't take hundreds of years to break down. On its own, it breaks down in
four to six weeks.
For winning the contest, Ms. Hughes will earn f,30, 000. Her school will get f,5, 000. She is looking forward
to moving ahead with her idea. She hopes the award money will help her with the process of getting MarinaTex
into use as quickly as possible. She thinks that one of the best uses for MarinaTex will be in some kinds of food
packaging.
