1. Mr. White is very kind to others. We all like __________ very much.
A. her B. me C. him D. us
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:怀特先生对其他人特别好。我们都非常喜欢他。
考查人称代词的宾格。her她;me我;him他;us我们。分析句子可知,此处指代前文出现的Mr. White,
指男性,用与动词like后作宾语,所以用宾格形式。故选C。
2. Peter's father works _________ a big hospital. And he is a good doctor.
A. on B. in C. of D. from
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:彼得的父亲在一家大医院工作。他是一个好医生。
考查介词辨析。on在……上;in在……里;of……的;from从……。分析句子可知,此处构成“work in a
hospital”短语,翻译为“在一家医院工作”。故选B。
3. We didn’t enjoy the day ________ the weather was so bad.
A. if B. but C. or D. because
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们不喜欢这一天,因为天气太糟糕了。

句可知,两句话构成因果关系,此处表示原因。故选D。
4. —______ will your father come back?
—In a week.
A. How soon B. How long C. How often D. How far
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你父亲多久后回来?——一周后。考查特殊疑问句。How soon多久,对将来时间提问;How long多长,对时长或长度提问;How often多久
一次,对频率提问;How far多远,对距离提问。根据答语“In a week.”可知,此处表示将来时间“一周
后”,所以问句用how soon提问。故选A。
5. The harder you work, the _________ progress you will make.
A. great B. greater C. greatest D. little
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:你越努力,你的进步就越大。
考查“the+比较级,the+比较级”用法。great形容词原级,好的;greater形容词比较级,更好的;greatest
形容词最高级,最好的;little形容词原级,小的/少的。分析句子可知,此处构成“the+比较级,the+比较
级”,翻译为“越……越……”,所以使用比较级形式。故选B。
【点睛】“the+比较级,the+比较级”,表示“越……,越……”。
例句:The healthier food you eat, the stronger you will be. 你吃的食物越健康,你就会越强壮。
.
6. We don't think teenagers should be allowed to drive because they are not __________ enough
A. serious B. more serious C. most serious D. the most serious
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们认为青少年不应该被允许开车,因为他们不够认真。
考查形容词。serious认真的;more serious更加认真的;most serious最认真的,前面缺少the;the most
serious最认真的;根据句意理解可知,这里表达的是“不是足够的认真”,没有与其他进行比较,所以这
里应该用原级,故选A。
7. Right now we ________ stay at home to prevent the spread of virus (病毒).
A. may B. should C. can’t D. need
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:现在我们应该待在家里防止病毒的传播。
考查情态动词辨析。may也许,可能;should应该;can’t不可能;need需要。分析句子可知,此处表示建
议,翻译为“应该”。故选B。
8. —What’s Mike doing now?
—He _________ an online class in his room.
A. was having B. has had C. is having D. are having【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——迈克现在在做什么?——他正在他的房间里上网络课。
考查现在进行时。was having过去进行时;has had现在完成时;is having现在进行时;are having现在进行
时。根据问句“What’s Mike doing now?”可知,此处使用现在进行时;又因为主语是He,所以be动词使
用单数is。故选C。
9. ----When will your sister go to England?
----She London since four months ago.
A. went to B. has gone to C. has been to D. has been in
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你妹妹什么时候去英国?——她四个月前就在伦敦了。考查动词时态辨析题。have
gone to表示“去了”某地,现在仍然在那里;have been to表示“到过;去过”某地,但现在并不在那里;
have been in表示某人在某个地方呆了多长时间。根据句意语境,结合since four months ago可知动作发生在
过去,持续了一段时间,需用完成时态。BC两项不合语境,可知选D。
10. It is reported that Notre-Dame de Paris (巴黎圣母院) ________ in April 2019.
A. was burnt B. is burnt C. be burnt D. will be burnt
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:据报道,巴黎圣母院于2019年4月被烧毁。
考查一般过去时的被动语态。was burnt一般过去时的被动语态;is burnt一般现在时的被动语态;be burnt
是be动词原形的被动语态;will be burnt一般将来时的被动语态。根据句中时间状语in April 2019,时态是
一般过去时;又因为主语Notre-Dame de Paris是动作burn的承受者,所以使用一般过去时的被动语态。故
选A。
11. Yesterday I helped an old man _______ lost his way.
A. what B. which C. who D. when
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:昨天我帮助了一位迷路的老人。
考查定语从句。what可引导名词性从句;which指物,作主语或宾语;who指人,作主语或宾语;when指
时间,作状语。分析句子可知,本句是定语从句,先行词是an old man,在从句中作主语。故选C。
12. — Did you notice . in her office?— Yes. She was going over our writing.
A. what was Miss Lin doing B. what Miss Lin was doing
C. what does Miss Lin do D. what Miss Lin does
【答案】B

【详解】句意:-你注意林小姐在干什么了吗?-是的,她正在检查我们的写作。
考查宾语从句。what was Miss Lin doing林小姐在干什么,疑问语序;what Miss Lin was doing陈述语序;
what does Miss Lin do林小姐是干什么的;what Miss Lin does陈述语序。根据句子结构可知,这里考查的是
宾语从句,从句中应用陈述语序,故先排除A和C。根据答语She was going over our writing可知,这里问
的是过去正在做的事情,应用过去进行时,故选B。

New Distractions (使人分心的事)

parents announced a new____13____: no phones allowed for the entire week. “No distractions,” they said.
“But my friends will be____14____updates,” Madeline protested (抗议). ”
“They’ll have to____15____,” her mom said.
“What if something bad happens?” Madeline changed her strategy (策略). Her mom shook her head as she
opened a drawer. Madeline saw that her parents’ phones were already in it. Madeline had to drop her____16____in,
too.
The drive to the beach house took most of the day. That night after dinner, Madeline wandered into the
kitchen, where her father was____17____dishes.
“Still hungry?” he asked.
“No,” she answered. Then she gave him a loving look and said in her sweetest voice, “Couldn’t I have my
phone back? Just so I can tell everyone what a(n)____18____time I’m having?”
“Can’t,” he said. “It’s not here. Remember? Check out the bookcase in the living room,” he suggested.
“Might find something you like.”
She walked into the living room and spotted a jigsaw puzzle (拼图玩具) on the bookcase. She took it, put the
pieces on the table, and began to work on them.
After what seemed like minutes, she looked up. It was past ten o’clock. She had been working for almost twohours! The puzzle was less than half done. It would have been nice to____19____a picture of the puzzle with her
friends, she thought.
The next morning, a golden sun was rising over the blue ocean. The sky was cloudless. The scene reminded
Madeline of a photo that Brandi had shared. Her friends had oohed and ahhed (对……大加赞赏) over it. This view
was even better. It would leave everyone____20____. Madeline’s hand reached for the bedside table, but there was
nothing there.
That evening, Madeline lost herself in the jigsaw puzzle again. She felt a little excited every time the shapes
met. Soon, all that were left were a few gaps. She quickly put the remaining pieces into place. The puzzle was
complete.
She stepped back to appreciate the finished puzzle. The picture showed an old painting of several farmhands
working in a brown field and there was a giant rainbow arching across the sky.
Madeline enjoyed the puzzle for a few minutes, trying to keep the image in her mind. Then, she quietly started
taking it apart. That, she thought, was just for me.

Studying abroad
I am from Toronto, Canada and I moved to Madrid, Spain in
September to pursue my master's degree(硕士学位). After almost
two years of full-time work, I realized that I loved my field so much
that I wanted to pursue higher education in the same field. Then I
decided to pursue a Master's while having an experience abroad in
Madrid. I chose Madrid because it is the business capital of Spain.
They have amazing food, great wine, amazing culture and a beautiful
language.
I am studying abroad in Amsterdam in the Netherlands at the
University of Amsterdam now. I have always wanted to study abroad
because I wanted an experience studying in the Western atmosphere
(气氛). I choose the Netherlands because their courses are taught in
English and that is very convenient for me. It is also a very student-
friendly country.Being an international student is a very interesting and useful
experience. I got to know so many interesting students and discussed
with them about different topics, not just about studies. What I wanted
to experience most was the European lifestyle and cultures. Aside from
the cultures, you also get to properly enjoy your time with others
according to the real French lifestyle.
As I got closer to graduating from high school, I began to consider
spending a year or so travelling, either before or after studying at
university. I was really excited to go outside of the UK. Studying
abroad has given me the confidence to continue pursuing opportunities
that lie outside of my comfort zone(舒适区).

BMy Grandpa Forgets Who I Am
A few days ago I visited my grandfather in hospital. He has Alzheimer’s—a degenerative (退化的) disease
that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. I thought I was prepared to see him. I knew chances were slim
that he’d actually recognize me.
He didn’t. As a matter of fact, he had no idea that he even had grandchildren. But he was excited that
somebody came to visit him. I tried to explain to him who I was. But after he told me multiple times that he
didn’t have grandchildren, I gave up. And my heart broke into a million little pieces.
I was tired of explaining things to him. So I just smiled. He smiled back. It’s a genuine smile. Like a long time
ago, when he’d take me by the hand and made this big world feel a little bit less scary for me. Now I have to take
his hand.
We sat in silence for a little while, before he told me to call my grandma. This was the first time I had tried so
hard to hold back tears. My grandma died four years ago and he didn’t remember. He thought she was stuck on her
way to pick him up.
My grandpa used to be a strong, hard-working man. He was the person you turned to when you needed your
car fixed, your tires changed or something heavy to be carried. Sadly, that man left this world a long time ago, and
left behind a man that is lost and scared.
I want to help him. I want to make him feel better. I want to tell him about his old life, and how great it was.
So I sat with him and I held his hand, and every once in a while I told him how good he looked and how much I
liked the color of his shirt and how it brought out the blue in his eyes. I told him that my grandma was on her way
whenever he asked about her, and I made sure the glass in his hand was always filled with water.
I can’t take away his pain. I can’t help him remember. I can’t make the disease go away. All I can do is hold on
to the memories—hold on for both of us.
34. When the author first saw her grandpa in hospital, ________.
A. she gave up on him B. they were both excited

细节理解题。根据“I knew chances were slim that he’d actually recognize me. He didn’t.”可知,当作者第一
次看到住院的爷爷时,爷爷并没有认出她。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。A:奶奶大约四年前去世了;B:爷爷需要有人照顾;C:奶奶没能及时赶到医院;D:爷爷
相信奶奶还活着。根据“This was the first time I had tried so hard to hold back tears. My grandma died four years
ago and he didn’t remember.”可知,作者强忍住眼泪是因为不想爷爷伤心,因为爷爷认为奶奶还活着。故
选D。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。Open-minded and cheerful开放和开朗;Considerate and patient体贴和耐心;Warm-hearted and
grateful热情和感激;Strong-minded and generous有主见的和慷慨的。根据全文及“I can’t take away his pain.
I can’t help him remember. I can’t make the disease go away. All I can do is hold on to the memories—hold on for
both of us.”可知,即使爷爷不记得作者,但是作者还是愿意陪在爷爷身边保存这些回忆,所以作者是一个
体贴和耐心的人。故选B。
【点睛】这是一篇记叙文,短文介绍了爷爷得了阿尔兹海默症,不记得作者,作者耐心地陪在爷爷身边,
想帮助爷爷留下美好记忆的故事。短文主题明确,结构清晰,内容贴近学生们的日常生活,比较容易理解。
题型是阅读理解,考查学生们通过阅读短文获取文章大意以及细节信息、猜测生词含义、进行合理的推测
判断的能力,是考试中的经典题型。学生们应具备基础的词汇,并提升自己的阅读理解能力,注意解题技
巧。这个题目设置了细节理解、推理判断两类。比如第 1小题,考查细节理解,根据“I knew chances were
slim that he’d actually recognize me. He didn’t.”可知,爷爷没认出作者,分析选项即可得出正确答案。
CLearning Colour Words
In the first few years of their lives, children brought up in English-speaking homes successfully master the use
of hundreds of words, including those for objects, actions, emotions, and many other aspects of the physical world.
However, when it comes to learning colour words, the same children perform very badly. If shown a blue cup and
asked about its colour, typical two-year-olds seem as likely to come up with “red” as “blue”.
Cognitive (认知) scientists at Stanford University in California supposed that children's inability at colour-
word learning may be directly linked to the way these words are used in English. They are used mostly in pre-
nominal position (e. g. “blue cup”), in contrast to post-nominal position (e. g. “The cup is blue. ”). The
difficulty children have may simply come down to the challenge of having to make predictions from colour words
to the objects they refer to, rather than from the objects to the colour words.
To explore this idea further, the research team recruited (招募) 40 English children aged between 23 and 29
months and carried out a three-period experiment. It included a pre-test, followed by training in the use of colour
words, and finally a post-test that was the same to the pre-test. The pre- and post- test materials contained six
objects that were unfamiliar to the children. There were three examples of each object in each of three colours-red,
yellow and blue. The objects were presented on trays (托盘), and in both tests, the children were asked to pick out
objects in response to requests in which the colour word was either a pre-nominal ( “Which is the red one?”) or a
post-nominal ( “Which one is red?”).
In the training, the children were introduced to five sets of familiar items (balls, cups, crayons, glasses,and toy
bears) in each of the three colours. Half the children were presented with the items one by one and heard them
labeled with colour words used pre-nominally, while the other half were introduced to the same items described
with a post-nominal colour word. After the training, the children repeated the selection task on the novel items in
the post-test. Correct choices on items that were consistent (一致的) across the pre-and post-tests were used to
measure children's colour knowledge.
According to the assessment, children's performance was consistent when they were both trained and tested on
post-nominal adjectives, and worst when trained on pre-nominal adjectives and tested on post-nominal adjectives.
Comparing the pre-and post-test scores across each condition showed a significant decline in performance when
children were both pre-and post-tested with questions that placed the colour words pre-nominally.
37. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?
A. To present a phenomenon. B. To make a contrast.
C. To give a possible explanation. D. To provide an example.
38. What can we learn about the experiment from the passage?
A. The children had to place the pre-and post-test objects onto coloured trays.B. The children were presented with the same objects in the pre-and post-tests.
C. Pre-nominal questions were less used than post-nominal questions in the training.
D. The researchers aimed to look for consistencies in children's knowledge of word order.
39. The outcome of the experiment shows that ______.
A. children are unable to accurately sort objects by colour.
B. children trained on pre-nominal adjectives perform well.
C. children learn colour words rapidly in post-nominal position.
D. children can make predictions from the objects to the colour words.
【答案】37. B 38. D 39. C

Teens want structure in their lives, which means they want their lives well-planned. To begin building
structure, teens need love and trust. They need to know their parents are there to give them needed love and support
(支持).Teens want to be sure that nothing can prevent parents from shouldering their responsibility for them — nottheir growing maturity (成熟),misbehavior, nor anger at something they have done. Teens want parents to keep
control while allowing them to make some decisions.
There are some ways you can help your teens create reasonable structure and remain close. One way is to
spend time together. Parents often mistake their teens’ increased interest in friends for a disinterest in the family.
Teens would like to spend more time doing things with their parents, but watching TV is not counted as
spending time together. As your teens mature, it is important for you and your teens spend time alone together, one
to one. Your teens need time to talk to you alone without any other family member present.
Talk with your teens about their interests and concerns. Make sure you really show interest in what is
happening. When talking with your teens, give full attention and do not stop them.
The way to help your teens become adults is to let your teens into your world. Sharing your emotions and
concerns with your teens is important. Avoid causing needless worry.
Trust your teens. Don't expect the worst. Hope for the best. Telling your teens you don’t like their friends will
cause the teens not to bring their friends home. If something should go wrong, believe that your teens didn’t do it
on purpose.
It is very important that you treat your teens with respect. Teens need the same respect adults show for total
strangers. Don’t talk down to your teens.
You need to be supportive of your teens. What may be a small problem to you may be troubling to your teens.
Teens don't have the experiences that adults have had. Let the teens know that you understand how much it hurts
when something happens that is upsetting or hurtful to them. As they mature, they can look back at some problems
they had and laugh at having been upset by something that now seems unimportant.
The most important things to remember are: talk with your teens, listen to their worries and offer suggestions
when needed. This will help your teens to live a well-organized life.

四、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
A new Chinese coronavirus (冠状病毒), a cousin of the SARS virus, has infected more than 40,000people
since the outbreak (爆发) began in Huanan Seafood Market, Wuhan, China, in December. At first, we knew little
about this virus. With more researches going on, we get to learn more about it.
Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that are common among animals. In rare cases, they are what
scientists call zoonotic (人畜共患病), meaning they can be transmitted from animals to humans, according to the
US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is believed that the novel coronavirus spreads from human
contact with animals. Bats are widely believed to be carriers of the latest strain of the disease.Chinese researchers said on Friday that the endangered pangolin (穿山甲) may be the intermediate host
between bats and humans.
The viruses can make people sick, usually with a mild(轻度) to moderate(中度) upper respiratory tract
illness(上呼吸道疾病), similar to a common cold, including a runny nose, cough, sore throat, possibly a headache
and maybe a fever, which can last for a couple of days. For those with a weakened immune system, the elderly and
the very young, there's a chance the virus could cause deadly diseases.
What's horrible about this virus is that once a human is infected, he/she becomes a carrier of the virus and
spreads it to more people by coughing, sneezing or even handshaking. The virus can also be transmitted (传播) by
touching something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Doctors and nurses
may also catch the disease when taking care of the patients, so they are required to wear strict protective clothes.
Unfortunately, there are no disease-specific treatments for the disease at this stage, which makes the outbreak
a challenging one to control. Besides, since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country
can affect the whole world, the influences of the novel coronavirus are huge-damaging trade relations, affecting
foreign visitors and weakening the entire country.
To fight against the disease, as individuals, we should strictly follow the requirements of the government to
stay at home and help to prevent the spread of the disease. In terms of the government, a strong health care system
can surely help decrease the risk of health attack and lessen the impact of the disease.
44. How many people have been affected since the outbreak of the new Chinese coronavirus?
_____________________________________________________________________
45. Where does the novel coronavirus come from according to the researchers?
_____________________________________________________________________
46. What symptoms (症状) may people have when they are affected?

【答案】44. Over/More than 4,0000.
45. Bats. 46. A runny nose, cough, sore throat, possibly a headache and maybe a fever.
47. Because they may catch the disease when taking care of the patients.
48. Things we need to do to fight against the disease.
