A
Sora observed in amazement as Weilun picked up two large metal cans. She followed Weilun with a pail (桶)
of clothes, watching him carry the two cans effortlessly. They were large and were covering Weilun’s small frame.
Sora’s father had sent her to the village to learn about rural life. Sora had never once done any household
chores back home. She did not understand why her father would always chant “Where is your willingness to
learn?” whenever she asked him if she could stay home for the holidays. Her father had given her a checklist on the
life skills that she needed to learn, one of which was to wash clothes. She recalled washing a table cloth after an art
lesson in school. That was a piece of cake, she thought. So Sora refused Weilun’s offer to help. Weilun then went to
fill the large cans with water at the far end of the river.
Suddenly, a big bird dived from the sky when Sora placed the last piece of clothing back in the pail. Sora
released her grasp of the pail in shock. Then she was relaxed to find it was aiming for a worm near her. But the
clothes were drifting in the river. Weilun immediately came to help and Sora shifted the blame to the bird.
He pointed at the detergent foam (洗涤剂泡沫) on the surface of the river. “Don’t tell me you rinsed (漂洗)
the detergent from the clothes in the river. Don’t you know that it may kill the river creatures? You caused the
problem, not the bird!” Sora looked down in shame. “You think that you know everything, but you actually don’t.”
Sora closed her eyes to let Weilun’s words sink in for a moment. She finally understood the meaning behind
her father’s chants. She walked towards Weilun and whispered, “Could you teach me all the life skills that my
father had planned for me to learn?”
1．Why was Sora amazed?
A．Weilun was too small in size for the two large cans.
B．Weilun was willing to help his parents do some chores.
C．Weilun managed to carry the two large cans easily.
D．Weilun was willing to accompany her to the riverside.
2．Why did Sora refuse Weilun’s offer to help wash the clothes?
A．She thought it was an easy task.
B．She had learned how to do it.
C．She wanted her father to be proud of her.
D．She wanted to learn new things by herself.
3．What happened when Sora found the bird flew towards her?A．The bird was diving for food.
B．The bird was attacking her.
C．Sora was rinsing the detergent in the pail.
D．Sora was shocked to find a worm in the pail.
4．What do you think Sora “finally understood”?
A．She wasn’t capable of living on her own.
B．She really lacked the willingness to learn.
C．Life skills could be learned in the country.
D．Her father wanted her to learn from Weilun.

Independent living at home is the ideal for every aging person. But a fall or other health-threatening incidents
can change everything rapidly.
The wearable “panic buttons” introduced in the late 1980s were a great advance. But they only work if people
actually wear them and can reach the button in an emergency. Today there are passive wearables that automaticallydetect falls, and camera-based systems to monitor elder safety.
Coming from a 40-year career in the semiconductor and wireless communication field, Rafi Zack decided to
find a better alternative. “People aren’t devoted to wearing small devices 24/7, and camera-based systems are an
invasion（侵犯）of privacy,” he points out, “The most challenging aspect is a fall. How fast we can detect a fall
matters because the medical situation worsens quickly. Sometimes people stay on the floor for a long time. We have
to find out how to solve that problem.”
Zack is a co-founder, CEO and vice president of R&D at EchoCare Technologies which has developed ECHO
(Elderly Care Home Observer), a cloud-connected monitor based on radar technology and machine learning.
Because radar sees through walls, one ECHO unit fixed on the ceiling or wall can monitor one person (or two
persons, in a future version) in a standard-sized apartment in a senior living facility. The device detects falls,
breathing difficulties, drowning in a bathtub and other dangerous events. It gives out warnings to potential health
worsening conditions by continuously monitoring and analyzing the person’s location, posture（姿势）, motion
and breath. EchoCare tested the device in the United States, Japan, Australia and Israel. ECHO was certified（认
证）in 2019 in Japan with the most aging population in the world.
“Bathrooms were the main testing area where about 17,000 deadly accidents happen annually.” said SMK
Director and Executive Vice President Tetsuo Hara. “Bathroom makers, home security service providers and
nursing homes are highly interested in EchoCare’s solution.” Zack noted, “As more and more elder people live
alone as a result of social distancing, there is an increased need to monitor them without the burden of wearables or
privacy-invading cameras.”
5．What’s the advantage of ECHO over “panic buttons”?
A．It has camera-based systems. B．It has been widely accepted.
C．It can function without cameras. D．Its buttons can be easily reached.
6．What can we know about ECHO from paragraph 5?
A．It is designed to send out warnings regularly.
B．It monitors dangerous health-related events.
C．It was certified in many developed countries.
D．It detects more than one person at the same time.
7．What can we infer about the future of ECHO?
A．It’ll become more popular with the elderly.
B．It’ll stop 17,000 deaths happening annually.
C．It’ll be used in nursing homes and hospitals.D．It’ll help elderly people to live an active life.
8．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．An Advanced Medical Instrument
B．A High-tech Monitor for the Elderly
C．The Invention of a Healthcare Device
D．The Improvement of a Medical Facility
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了在家独立生活是每个老年人的理想选择。但是，跌倒或其他危

这是一种基于雷达技术和机器学习的云连接显示器。该设备可以检测到跌倒，呼吸困难，溺水淹没浴缸和
其他危险事件。
5．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“But they only work if people actually wear them and can reach the
button in an emergency.”(但是，只有在人们实际佩戴它们并且在紧急情况下可以到达按钮时，它们才起作
用。) 以及第四段“Zack is a co-founder, CEO and vice president of R&D at EchoCare Technologies which has
developed ECHO (Elderly Care Home Observer), a cloud-connected monitor based on radar technology and
machine learning.( Zack是EchoCare Technologies的联合创始人，首席执行官兼研发副总裁，该公司开发了
ECHO（老人护理家庭观察者），这是一种基于雷达技术和机器学习的云连接显示器。)可知，ECH是机遇
雷达技术和机器学习的云连接显示器。以及最后一段最后一句话“without the burden of wearables or

6．B【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段“The device detects falls, breathing difficulties, drowning in a bathtub
and other dangerous events. It gives out warnings to potential health worsening conditions by continuously
monitoring and analyzing the person’s location, posture（姿势）, motion and breath.”(该设备可以检测到跌倒，
呼吸困难，溺水淹没浴缸和其他危险事件。通过持续监视和分析人员的位置，姿势（姿势），运动和呼吸，
它可以警告潜在的健康状况恶化状况。)可知，该设备不仅仅发送警告信号，同时可以检测和分析一系列危
险事件。A项说法错误。以及“ECHO was certified（认证）in 2019 in Japan with the most aging population in
the world.”(ECHO于2019年在日本获得了世界上人口老龄化最多的认证（认证）。)可知，只在日本获得
了认证。C项说法错误。D项文中未提及。故选B项。

accidents happen annually.( 浴室是主要的测试区域，每年约发生17,000起致命事故。) 以及“Bathroom
makers, home security service providers and nursing homes are highly interested in EchoCare’s solution.”(浴室制造商，家庭安全服务提供商和疗养院对EchoCare的解决方案非常感兴趣。)可知，每年在浴室会发生17000
起致命的事故是，不是死亡。B项说法错误。文中提到浴室制造商，家庭安全服务商以及疗养院会感兴趣。
所以C项说法错误。D项文中未提及。故选A项。
8．B【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Independent living at home is the ideal for every aging person. But a
fall or other health-threatening incidents can change everything rapidly.”( 在家独立生活是每个老年人的理想选
择。但是，跌倒或其他危害健康的事件可能会迅速改变一切。)以及第四段“Zack is a co-founder, CEO and
vice president of R&D at EchoCare Technologies which has developed ECHO (Elderly Care Home Observer), a

Nearly everyone knows eBay is a website where you can buy and sell pretty much anything. There are other
Internet auction (拍卖) sites, but none come close to eBay for brand-name recognition. And for good reason: eBay
is the largest English-language online auction site in the world. Buyers come to eBay for the best chance of finding
the particular thing they want. Sellers come for the largest pool of buyers, which they hope means the best chance
of selling at the highest possible price.
Buying things on eBay is pretty simple. You can type a term into the search field, or click through the
categories list to get to what you want. Inside an individual item listing, you’ll see the current asking price, and a
little button to click if you wish to place your own bid. Enter a price, occasionally come back to see if someone has
bid higher than you and wait for the end of the auction period. If your bid is the highest, you win! Now all you have
to do is arrange payment and shipping method with the seller. eBay is only in the business of putting buyers and
sellers together for a small fee from the seller. It doesn’t handle the actual payment or shipping of goods. In other
words, it isn’t a big department store, or a warehouse. It’s the owner of a flea market, and you have to do your own
deals with the individual sellers in their virtual stalls.
To be a skillful eBay buyer, you should learn when to trust sellers and how a proxy (代理人) bid can save you
from going online every half-hour to up your bid. Experienced eBay users also know how to use escrows (公正托
管) to guarantee goods, and how to avoid selling tricks such as fake bids that push up prices. The more often you
buy on eBay, the more you learn.
9．Why is eBay the best website for people to buy and sell things?A．Because it has all brand products.
B．Because the trade language is English.
C．Because sellers and buyers can close their deals.
D．Because sellers can find a swimming pool there.
10．What should you do first if you want to buy something at the site?
A．Find the current asking price.
B．Click a button to place your own bid.
C．Enter a price which is higher than others.
D．Find what you want in the categories list.
11．What should the buyer do if he/she wins the bid?
A．Get goods from eBay.
B．Determine payment and shipment.
C．Send somebody for the goods.
D．Talk about the price of the goods.
12．What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?
A．How to be a skillful buyer at eBay.
B．How to make sure of qualified goods.
C．How to avoid being cheated by others.
D．How to spare you from going online frequently.

The use of AI (artificial intelligence) is becoming more common in many branches of industry and online
shopping. Traditional lines of work, such as goods transport and driving, are developing in a similar direction
although mainly out of public view. Scientists at the University of Göttingen have now investigated how efficient
(高效的) the use of AI can be in the commercial management of trucks.
“Digital applications—as well as machine leaning, a kind of AI—are increasingly applied to operations and
courses in the transport area,” explains Professor Matthias Klumpp from the Faculty of Economics. “The question
in the commercial area, however, is whether or not this contributes to achieving goals.”
To answer this question, the researchers compared the work efficiency of truck drivers with their main use of
AI applications. Looking at trade delivery by truck, they studied three groups: the first drove completely following
human decision-making models; the second used a combination of human and machine; and the third depended
completely on fully automated decisions.
The researchers found that an intelligent combination of human work and decision-making abilities with AI
applications promises the highest transport and driving efficiency. “On average, the second group achieved the most
efficient transport trips, with the fewest interventions (干预) and off-course from the best path.” one researcher
said, “Clearly, neither a completely human decision-making structure nor a fully automated driving system can
promise to meet current goods transport requirements.” The scientists therefore summarized that despite the
progress of AI in the field of transportation by truck, human experience and decision-making abilities will still be
necessary in the longer term. However, the challenge is that a wide range of training and qualification (资格) needs
will come along by working with Al applications, especially for simple goods transport activities.
13．What does Matthias Klumpp focus on?A．The efficiency of AI.
B．The advantages of AI.
C．The problems caused by AI.
D．The wide applications of AI.
14．How did the researchers get the finding?
A．By providing examples.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By using different trucks.
D．By listing three experiments.
15．What can we know from the last paragraph?
A．Al is better at making decisions.
B．A balance is needed between human and AI.
C．Human will soon be replaced by AI in driving.
D．Al applications meet the current requirements.
16．What is the best title for the text?
A．The future of transport.
B．Artificial intelligence as a co-driver.
C．Artificial intelligence-a better choice in driving.
D．The strengths of artificial intelligence in transport.

Just as a hungry brain craves (渴望) food, a lonely brain craves people. A new brain study demonstrates this.
After being left alone, it shows people's brains would be activated at the sight of other people. The action was in the
same brain region that speeds up when a hungry person sees food.
Livia Tomova, a neuroscientist, who studies how the brain produces mental activities, and her colleagues
began this study. They recruited (招募) 40 people. On one day, the participants had to fast—not eat anything at all
—for 10 hours. On another day, the same people were placed in a room for 10 hours. They couldn't see anyone. No
friends, no family and no social media. They weren't even allowed to check their email. After both days, Tomova
and her colleagues put the people in a MRI machine. It shows activity in the brain by tracking how much blood is
flowing to each region.
At the end of each day, the participants showed high activity in a brain area called the midbrain. The scientists
were interested in two, small areas within it. Both areas produce dopamine, a chemical that is important in craving
and rewards. The two areas activated when hungry participants saw pictures of tasty pizza or juicy hamburgers.
After the volunteers had been isolated, those brain areas became active when they saw social activities they missed.
It might be playing sports or chatting with friends.The midbrain plays an important part in people's motivation to seek food or friends. In fact, it responds to food
and social signals even when people aren't hungry or lonely. But hunger and loneliness increased the reactions and
made people's responses specific to the thing they were missing. And the more hunger or isolation the volunteers
said they were experiencing, the stronger the activity in this part of the brain. Tomova and her colleagues published
their results November 23 in Nature Neuroscience.
17．How does Tomova test out the result of the study?
A．By stimulating desire. B．By controlling blood flow.
C．By monitoring brain activity. D．By examining mental activities.
18．What do we know about midbrain?
A．It consists of two areas. B．It helps motivate desire for food.
C．It stops working when people are full. D．It decreases responses to lost friends.
19．What does the underlined “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．A midbrain area. B．A social activity. C．A volunteer. D．A hamburger.
20．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Dopamine—a Sure Sign of Age B．Midbrain—a Nest for the Thoughts
C．Hunger Makes Mental Health Struggle D．Loneliness Makes Our Brains Need People
【语篇解读】本文是说明文，介绍了Tomova和她的同事通过研究，发现“饥饿的大脑渴望食物和孤独的
大脑渴望与人的交往”这一行为背后的大脑机制。

Constantly forcing knowledge and experiences into your brain may seem like the quickest path to self-
improvement. But sometimes the best thing you can do for your brian is absolutely nothing at all.Taking time to space out — whether by showering, pulling weeds, or petting a dog — provides an opportunity
for what psychologists call wakeful rest. It’s a time when you can put immediate tasks aside like how to meet the
work deadline and instead focus on current feelings, reflect on the past, and think about the future.
In the blankness, MRI (磁共振) brain imaging shows a harmony of gray matter called the default mode
network (默认模式网络) takes control. Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) still don’t completely understand how
this system works, but they think it connects inharmonious parts of our brains, which can help us find meaning in
our messy lives. “This blankness might also reduce anxiety, boost creativity, and improve memory,” says Mary
Helen Immordino-Yang, a neuroscientist at the University of Southern California’s Brain and Creativity Institute.
The trouble is, the battle of life leaves little room to let your mind wander. Many spend their free time-
consuming entertainment. It may feel relaxing but requires brainpower to enjoy. Fortunately, there are ways to
encourage your resting-state network to take over:
FIND YOUR JOY
Casual hobbies that are totally different from your day job can help prevent out-of-office anxiety.
GET AWAY
New surroundings give your brain a break from environmental cues, like the sight of your desk and laptop,
that tell it to work.
SWITCH OFF
Information can be too attractive to ignore. Turning off any and all devices helps maintain relaxation mode.
33．What is “wakeful rest” according to the psychologists in the text?
A．It is a time to space out. B．It is a system to take control.
C．It is a state to concentrate. D．It is an opportunity to work.
34．In what aspect can this blankness benefit us?
A．Promoting creativity. B．Managing moods.
C．Removing anxiety. D．Controlling brains.
35．Which activity does the author suggest to a stressful software engineer?
A．Working on his desk in a new office.
B．Playing his favorite computer games.
C．Doing some gardening in the backyard.
D．Developing a software with colleagues.
36．Where can we probably read the text?
A．A book review. B．A science journal.C．A guide book. D．A film poster.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了缓解焦虑、保持放松的一些方法。
33．A【解析】细节理解题。通过文章第二段“Taking time to space out — whether by showering, pulling
weeds, or petting a dog — provides an opportunity for what psychologists call wakeful rest.（花点时间去放空，
比如洗澡，除草，或者摸狗，这给心理学家们提供了一个清醒休息的机会。）”可知，心理学家认为，
“清醒休息”意味着腾出时间放空。故选A项。
34．A【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“This blankness might also reduce anxiety, boost creativity, and
improve memory（这种空白也可能会减少焦虑，提高创造力，提高记忆力）”可知，这种空白可以提高创
造力。故选A项。
35．C【解析】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“Casual hobbies that are totally different from your day job
can help prevent out-of-office anxiety.（与你的日常工作完全不同的休闲爱好可以帮助预防办公室外的焦
虑。）”可推知，一个压力很大的软件工程师想要减少焦虑，应该做一些与他的日常工作完全不同的休闲
爱好，C项“在后院做园艺”符合文意。故选C项。
36．B 【解析】文章出处题。根据文章首段“Constantly forcing knowledge and experiences into your brain
may seem like the quickest path to self-improvement. But sometimes the best thing you can do for your brain is
absolutely nothing at all.（不断地将知识和经验灌输到你的大脑中似乎是自我提高的最快途径。但有时你能
为你的大脑做的最好的事情就是什么都不做。）”以及下文“FIND YOUR JOY（找到你的爱好）”、
“GET AWAY（逃离）”、“SWITCH OFF（关闭）”可知，本文主要介绍了让大脑放空可以缓解焦虑，
以及一些其它缓解压力的方法，可推知，本文应该出自一本科学杂志。故选B项。
