的生活中寻求与自然的和谐关系，所以他乐于从社交生活中抽身出来，withdraw from“离
开”。故选C。

About five weeks ago，I noticed the skin of our pet lizard was growing dusty.It worried me.I
reported the strange surface on the skin of the lizard to my husband and children the nextmorning.Seconds later，our lizard emerged from its tank with its old skin flowing behind it.
I didn’t think about it much until a morning last week when I knocked my favorite teapot off
the table.It burst into hundreds of pieces.As I swept up the mess，I wondered why we had been
breaking so many things over the months.
The destruction started three months ago.It was my husband’s birthday.He had just lost his
job.The uncertainty was starting to wear on us，so I wanted to do something special.
“Let’s make a cake for Dad！” I cried.
My kids screamed with joy.We baked，iced and sprinkled for most of the day.Candles on the
cake! Balloons on the walls! Flowers on the table!
Two hours before my husband came back home from another job interview，my daughter
climbed up to grab a glass vase from a high shelf.It fell and crashed beside the cake.Tiny pieces of
glass were everywhere.She sobbed loudly as I threw the cake away.My husband had banana
pudding for his birthday.
Three days ago，the light in our living room suddenly went out.After several frustrating hours
of unsuccessful attempts to fix it ， my husband suggested watching the Michael Jordan
documentary series The Last Dance.
The poignancy of Jordan retiring from his beloved basketball to play baseball and what had
pushed him to make such a tough decision took me by surprise.As I watched him take off his
basketball uniform and replace it with a baseball uniform，I saw him leaving behind the layer that
no longer served him ， just as our lizard had.Neither of them chose the moment that had
transformed them.But they had to live with who they were after everything was different.Just like
us.I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind.
Humans do not shed skin as easily as other animals.The beginning of change is upsetting.The
process is tiring.Damage changes us before we are ready.I see our lizard，raw and nearly new.
Jordan said that no matter how it ends，it starts with hope.With our tender，hopeful skin，
that is where we begin.
语篇解读 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者的丈夫刚刚丢了工作，这种不确定性开始影响
到家人，直到作者看到家里的宠物蜥蜴换皮和观看了Michael Jordan的纪录片《最后的舞
蹈》后，领悟到我们必须学会把过去抛在脑后，像蜥蜴一样，用我们柔嫩、充满希望的皮
肤，作为新的起点，继续前行。
40．What can we learn about the pet lizard from Paragraph 1?
A．Its tank grew dirty.
B．Its old skin came off.
C．It got a skin disease.
D．It went missing.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Seconds later，our lizard emerged from its tank with itsold skin flowing behind it.”可知，宠物蜥蜴旧的皮肤脱落了。故选B。
41．Why did the author’s husband have banana pudding for his birthday?
A．The birthday cake was ruined.
B．The author made good puddings.

答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第六段可知，就在作者的丈夫参加另一场工作面试回家前两个小时，
作者的女儿爬到一个高高的架子上去抓一个玻璃花瓶。结果它掉下来摔碎在蛋糕旁边。到处
都是细小的玻璃碎片。当作者把蛋糕扔掉时，女儿大声抽泣，最后丈夫只能吃香蕉布丁来过
生日。故作者的丈夫吃香蕉布丁过生日是因为生日蛋糕被毁了。故选A。
42．Why does the author mention The Last Dance in the passage?
A．To prove a theory.
B．To define a concept.
C．To develop the theme.
D．To provide the background.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段内容“Jordan从心爱的篮球事业退役，转而打棒球，这
是多么令人痛心的事情，是什么促使他做出如此艰难的决定，让我感到惊讶。当我看着他脱
下篮球服，换上棒球服时，我看到他脱下了那层不再适合他的衣服，就像我们的蜥蜴一样。
他们都没有选择那个改变了他们的时刻。但他们必须和这个生活发生变化的自己在一起，就
像我们一样。我意识到我们必须学会把过去抛在脑后。”以及最后一段内容“Jordan说，不
管结局如何，都是以希望开始的。用我们柔嫩、充满希望的皮肤来作为我们的起点。”可推
知，作者在文章中提到The Last Dance是为了展开文章关于放手过去，重新开始的主题。
故选C。
43．The underlined part “leaving behind the layer” in Paragraph 8 can be understood as
.
A．letting go of the past
B．looking for a new job
C．getting rid of a bad habit
D．giving up an opportunity
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed
them.But they had to live with who they were after everything was different.Just like us.I realized
that we have to learn to leave the past behind.”可知，作者看着乔丹脱下篮球服，换上棒球服时，意识到他放下了过去，把过去抛在脑后了。即画线词意思是“放下过去”。故选A。

A．Love of family helps us survive great hardships.
B．It’s not the end of the world if we break things.
C．We should move on no matter what happens.
D．Past experiences should be treasured.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。通读全文尤其根据最后一段内容“Jordan说，不管结局如何，都是以希
望开始的。用我们柔嫩、充满希望的皮肤来作为我们的起点。”可推知，作者最有可能想告
诉我们：无论发生什么，我们都应该继续前进。故选C。
C
A trial project by the Montreal Children’s Hospital suggested that the use of medical
hypnosis(催眠) can reduce pain and anxiety in patients.The project also resulted in a reduction in
the amount of medicines used to perform medicalimaging(医学影像) procedures.
“During the examination children don’t move.It works perfectly.It’s amazing，” said
Johanne L’Ecuyer，a medicalimaging technologist at the hospital.
The project was inspired by a French team from Rouen University Hospital Centre where
examinations are done under hypnosis instead of general anesthesia(麻醉)．
A French medicalimaging technologist—also a hypnotist—was invited to train a few members
in the medicalimaging department of the children’s hospital.In all,80 examinations were
conducted for the project between January and September,2019 ， focusing on the imaging
procedures that would cause anxiety.
Hypnosis is not a state of sleep.It is rather a modified(改变的) state of consciousness.The
technologist will guide the patient to this modified state—an imaginary world that will disassociate
itself more and more from the procedure that follows.
“The technologist must build up a story with the patient，” Ms L’Ecuyer said.“The
patient is left with the power to choose what he wants to talk about.Do you play sports? Do you like
going to the beach? We establish a subject that we will discuss throughout the procedure.”
Everything that happens next during the procedure must be related to this story—an
injection(注射)becomes the bite of an insect；the heat on the skin becomes the sensation of the sun
and a machine that rings becomes a police car passing nearby.
“The important thing is that the technologist associates what is happening outside the
patient’s body with what the patient sees in his head，” Ms L’Ecuyer said.“It requires
creativity on the part of the technologist，imagination，a lot of patience and kindness.”
“The procedure appealed to the staff a lot when it was introduced in January.It spread like
wildfire that someone from France was here to train the technologists，”Ms L’Ecuyer said.She
added that she had a line of staff at her door wanting to take the training.语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了蒙特利尔儿童医院的一个试验项目表明催眠技术
的使用可以减轻病人的痛苦和焦虑。一位法国医学影像技术专家——也是一位催眠师，被
邀请到儿童医院的医学影像部门培训几位员工。
45．One of the results produced by the trial project is .
A．a better understanding of children
B．less use of certain medicines
C．new medicalimaging technology
D．an improved reputation of the hospital
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The project also resulted in a reduction in the amount of
medicines used to perform medicalimaging(医学影像)procedures.”可知，试验项目的结果之一
就是减少了某些药物的使用。故选B。
46．The French technologist came to the children’s hospital to .
A．assist in treating a patient
B．carry out hypnosis training
C．start up a new department
D．learn about the procedure
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A French medicalimaging technologist—also a hypnotist
—was invited to train a few members in the medicalimaging department of the children’s
hospital.”可知，法国技术专家来儿童医院是来做催眠培训的。故选B。
47．According to Paragraph 5，hypnosis works by .
A．creating a perfect world for patients
B．forcing patients into a state of deep sleep
C．putting patients into an unconscious state
D．leading patients’ consciousness away from reality
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知，催眠状态不是一种睡眠状态，而是一种被改变的
意识状态。技术专家会引导病人进入这种改变的状态——一个想象中的世界，它会越来越
脱离接下来的程序。由此可推知，催眠是引导病人的意识远离现实，进入一个想象中的世界。
故选D。
48．What can we learn about the story used in the procedure?

第二段中的“The important thing is that the technologist associates what is happening outside the
patient’s body with what the patient sees in his head(重要的是技术专家要把病人身体外发生的
事情和他在大脑里看到的联系起来)”可知，故事必须跟整个催眠过程同步。故选A。

There is something to be said for being a generalist，even if you are a specialist.Knowing a
little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole，welllived life.
Society pushes us to specialize，to become experts.This requires commitment to a particular
occupation，branch of study or research.The drawback to being specialists is that we often come to
know more and more about less and less.There is a great deal of pressure to master one’s
field.You may pursue training，degrees，or increasing levels of responsibility at work.Then you
discover the pressure of having to keep up.
Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty.But such
commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom.These specialists could work at the office until ten
each night，then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the
sweetness of their family and friends ，or traveled to exciting places ，meeting interesting
people.Mastering one thing to the exclusion(排除)of others can hold back your true spirit.
Generalists，on the other hand，know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view thewhole with all its connections.They are people of ability，talent，and enthusiasm who can bring
their broad perspective(视角)into specific fields of expertise (专长)．The doctor who is also a poet
and philosopher is a superior doctor，one who can give so much more to his patients than just
good medical skills.
Things are connected.Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related
areas.Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but，once you explore their depths，
you discover that they are.My editor Toni，who is also a writer，has edited several history
books.She has decided to study Chinese history.Fascinated by the structural beauty of the
Forbidden City as a painter，she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy.“I
don’t know where it will lead，but I’m excited I’m on this pursuit.”
These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives.We begin to see the
interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life ，of ourselves and the
universe.Develop broad，general knowledge and experience.The universe is all yours to explore
and enjoy.
51．To become a specialist，one may have to .
A．narrow his range of knowledge
B．avoid responsibilities at work
C．know more about the society
D．broaden his perspective on life
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。第二段中提到“This requires commitment to a particular occupation，
branch of study or research.The drawback to being specialists is that we often come to know more
and more about less and less.(成为专家需要对特定的职业、研究领域的投入。成为专家的缺点
是我们常常对越来越少的知识领域了解得越来越多。)”由此可推知，一个人要成为一名专
家，了解到的知识领域会越来越少，会缩小他的知识范围。故选A。
52．The specialists mentioned in Paragraph 3 tend to .
A．treasure their freedom
B．travel around the world
C．spend most time working
D．enjoy meeting funny people
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。第三段中提到“Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their
narrow specialty....These specialists could work at the office until ten each night (有些人似乎愿意
在他们狭隘的专业领域夜以继日地工作。……这些专家可以每天晚上在办公室工作到十
点)”由此可知，这些专家往往花大部分的时间在工作上。故选C。53．According to the author，a superior doctor is one who .
A．is fully aware of his talent and ability
B．is a pure specialist in medicine
C．should love poetry and philosophy
D．brings knowledge of other fields to work
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior
doctor，one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.(这位既是诗
人又是哲学家的医生是一位优秀的医生，他能给他的病人提供比良好的医术更多的东
西。)”可推知，作者认为一名优秀的医生可以将其他领域的知识带到工作中。故选D。
54．What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni?
A．Passion alone does not ensure a person’s success.
B．Indepth exploration makes discoveries possible.
C．Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit.
D．Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。第五段中提到“事物之间是有联系的。让你在一个领域的专长激发你在
所有相关领域的热情。你的一些兴趣可能看起来没有联系，但一旦你深入探索，你就会发现
它们是有联系的。”；下文接着举出Toni的例子“我的编辑Toni也是一位作家，她编辑过
几本历史书。她已决定学习中国历史。作为一名画家，她痴迷于紫禁城的建筑之美，同时也
对更多地了解中国哲学感兴趣。”由此可以推断，作者想通过Toni的例子说明看似不相关
的兴趣，如果深入探索的话，在某种程度上是有联系的。故选D。
55．What could be the best title for the passage?
A．Be More a Generalist than a Specialist
B．Specialist or Generalist：Hard to Decide
C．Turn a Generalist into a Specialist
D．Ways to Become a Generalist
答案 A
解析 标题归纳题。文章第一段首句提出观点“There is something to be said for being a
generalist，even if you are a specialist.(即使你是一个专家，也应该当一个通才)”；第二段中
的“The drawback to being specialists is that we often come to know more and more about less
and less.”说明成为专家的不足之处是我们常常对越来越少的知识领域了解得越来越多；第
四段中的“Generalists，...，know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with
all its connections.”说明当通才的优点往往对许多学科了解得很多，并从整体上来看其中的
所有的联系。综上可知，作者的观点是当一个通才。因此文章的最佳标题应为“做一个通才，而不只是专家”。故选A。

第Ⅱ卷
第三部分 写作
第一节 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I’ve always been creative since I was a little girl.My childhood was filled with arts ，
crafts(手工) and music，and every day was an exciting adventure of creation.
Somewhere along the way，however，I lost touch with my creative self.At 21，I landed a
job at a big insurance company out of my business degree.I would go to the office，sit at my desk
and repeat the same work five days a week 9 to 5.The days were long and tedious.Working this
way for one year was painful enough，let alone a lifetime.Before long I decided to make a change.
One thing I had developed an interest in was sewing，so I took a sewing course at a
community college.It was only a fiveweek course but it awakened my interest and got my
confidence up.
As I dreamt bigger，I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three
months later I signed up for a parttime design course.I attended classes two nights a week.Although
exhausting，it gave me energy，enthusiasm and happiness.
As it became clearer that fashion was what I wanted to do full time，the reality of my dayto-
day work at the insurance company became harder.I felt bored.No energy，no motivation and zero
fulfilment(满足感)．
I knew I needed to make a bigger change.After struggling for quite a while，I made a difficult
decision—leaving my job and studying my design course full time.Two years later I got my
diploma.
The last few years have been exciting because I’ve been following my heart to do what I
love.Today I am living a creative life as the designer of my own fashion brand.
Sometimes it’s hard to make a change，but I’m so glad I set the wheels of change in
motion with that very small first step because it has led me to where I am today.

成功。
56．What was the author interested in when she was a little girl? (no more than 10 words)答案 She was interested in arts，crafts and music.
Or：She was interested in creative things.

crafts and music./She was interested in creative things.
57．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean? (1 word)
答案 Boring./Dull./Uninteresting.
解析 考查词义猜测。根据画线单词所在句后文“Working this way for one year was painful
enough，let alone a lifetime.Before long I decided to make a change.”可知，作者现在的工作让
她感到痛苦，她并不喜欢这份工作。再根据第五段内容可知，作者真正喜欢的是和时尚相关
的工作，保险公司的工作让她感觉无聊。由此可知，画线单词所在句表示的是，在保险公司
工作的日子漫长而乏味。故答案为Boring./Dull./Uninteresting.
58．How did the author feel when she was taking the parttime design course? (no more than 10
words)
答案 She felt/was energetic，enthusiastic and happy.
Or：She was filled with energy，enthusiasm and happiness.

活力、热情和快乐。故答案为 She felt/was energetic，enthusiastic and happy./ She was filled
with energy，enthusiasm and happiness.
59．What did the author do to get back to her creative life? Give two of the facts.(no more than 15
words)
答案 She quit/quitted her job and took the design course full time.
Or：She attended a sewing class and took a parttime design course.
解析 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段中关键句“One thing I had developed an interest in was
sewing，so I took a sewing course at a community college.”，第四段中关键句“As I dreamt
bigger，I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months later I signed up
for a parttime design course.”和倒数第三段“I knew I needed to make a bigger change.After
struggling for quite a while，I made a difficult decision—leaving my job and studying my design
course full time.Two years later I got my diploma.”可知，作者为了恢复她有创造力的生活，她参加了一个缝纫班，并参加了一个兼职设计课程，辞去了工作，去上全日制设计课，故答
案为She quit/quitted her job and took the design course full time./ She attended a sewing class and
took a parttime design course.
