A China’s face-swapping app that allows users to superimpose（叠加）their own likeness over characters in
movies or TV shows has rapidly become one of the country’s most download apps.But it has also triggered concerns
about the issue of privacy.
Released on Friday, the Zao app went viral as Chinese users pursued the chance to act out scenes from well-known
movies. This is done using “deepfake” technology, which has already caused concerns elsewhere over its potential
misuse.
Users provide a series of selfies in which they blink, open their mouths or assume other expressions. The app will
then realistically change the person’s animated likeness onto movies, TV shows or other similar content.
But this has also resulted in privacy concerns as the app’s policy reportedly gave it “free, permanent, transferable,
and re-licenseable” rights to all user-generated content.
Apart from worrying that their personal information can be disclosed, users are also concerned that the app,
through facial recognition technology, can compromise their online payment accounts.
On Sunday, the app issued a statement promising to modify its privacy policy. It also assured users that the app
will not result in any compromise to their payment accounts. The app has since changed its terms to ensure that it will
not use headshots or videos uploaded by users other than to improve the app. It also promised to remove from its
servers any content that was uploaded but subsequently deleted by users.
Zao is owned by Momo Inc, a Tinder-like Chinese dating service that is listed on the Us Nasdaq. The Ministry of
Industry and Information Technology spoke to the developer of the AI face-changing app on Wednesday. The
Ministry’s department of network security said it demanded the company sick to relevant laws regarding the collection
of personal information. Apart from calling on the company to standardize its terms of agreement it also made it clear
that the company should do its utmost to ensure the protection of user data.
24. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. The face-changing app is becoming popular. 6
B. The Zao app has revealed personal information.
C. Deep fake technology is applied in a new app.
D. There’re potential worries about face-changing app.
25. What do we know about the Zao app?
A. Users provide smiling photos to act out scenes from famous movies.
B. The app can find likeness between users and actors in the movies.
C. The technology applied in the app can be misused in other places.
D. The app can have access to users’ online payment accounts.
26. What did the app promise to modify?
A. Privacy policy uploaded by users
B. Privacy policy to assure the safety
C. Any private content deleted by users
D. The compromise with users' accounts
27. What The Ministry's department of network security said in the last paragraph is to _______.
A. give some possible solutions to the problem
B. give some particular reasons for the phenomenon
C. present some current difficulties of the concern
D. present some simple tips on payment accounts
C
Delivery Robots May Soon Be Knocking at Your Door
With self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots for the
final leg-the so-called last mile-of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center to the customer. The
latest to join the trend is Amazon. ollowing a successful eight-month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the
company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.
The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the ability to carry small or medium-sized packages.
The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians,
animals, and unexpected obstacles（障碍）, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors（传感器）can also detect the
movement of a car backing out of a driveway.
While Amazon is focusing on home deliveries, San Francisco-based Starship Technologies has its eyes set on 7
universities. On August 20, 2019, the company announced plans to use thousands of robots to deliver food and other
things to students at college campuses across the country. Unlike Scout, Starship’s robots are seasoned workers. They
have been tested in over 100 cities in 20 different countries and successfully completed over 100, 000 deliveries.
Meanwhile, food and grocery delivery company Postmates’ robots are currently making their rounds along the
busy San Francisco streets. Also in testing, the robots can carry up to 50 pounds and travel 30 miles on a single battery
charge.
Though the eco-friendly robots will help free our streets of bicycles and large delivery trucks that typically send
packages, they have some limitations. They are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only
reach consumers who live on the ground level. Additionally,
the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get
solved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to meet the ever-growing demand for
home and office deliveries.
28. What does the underlined part in para l mean?
A. much more help B. very close distance
C. substitute for human D. the last section
29. We can learn from the passage that ________
A. Powerful robots sensors are gaining popularity in delivery.
B. The Postmates’ robots focus on students' food and grocery delivery.
C. The Scout can avoid obstacles because it moves at a regular pace.
D. Delivery robots have turned up in universities to serve students.
30.What’s author’s attitude towards delivery robots？
A. Objective B. Optimistic C. Pessimistic D. Cautious
31.From which is the text probably taken？
A. a biology textbook B. a health magazine
C. a newspaper D. a travel brochure
D
I want to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association because we all know the press is under siege these days.
We also know it’s the insatiable dedication to uncovering the absolute truth that keeps us from turning a blind eye to
corruption and to injustice. To---to tyrants and victims, and secrets and lies.I want to say that I value the press more
than ever before as we try to navigate these complicated times, which brings me to this: what I know for sure is that
speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have. And I’m especially proud and inspired by all the women who 8
have felt strong enough and empowered enough to speak up and share their personal stories. Each of us in this room are
celebrated because of the stories that we tell, and this year we became the story.
But it’s not just a story affecting the entertainment industry. It’s one that transcends any culture, geography, race,
religion, politics, or workplace. So I want tonight to express gratitude to all the women who have endured years of
abuse and assault because they, like my mother, had children to feed and bills to pay and dreams to pursue.
They’re the women whose names we’ll never know. They are domestic workers and farm workers. They are
working in factories and they work in restaurants and they’re in academia, engineering, medicine, and science. They’re
part of the world of tech and politics and business.
They’re our athletes in the Olympics and they’re our soldiers in the military.
And there’s someone else. Recy Taylor, a name I know and I think you should know, too. In
1944. Recy Taylor was a young wife and mother walking home from a church service she’d attended in Abbeville,
Alabama, when she was abducted by six armed white men, raped, and left blindfolded by the side of the road coming
home from church.
They threatened to kill her if she ever told anyone, but her story was reported to the NAACP where a young
worker by the name of Rosa Parks became the lead investigator on her case and together they sought justice. But justice
wasn’t an option in the era of Jim Crow. The men who tried to destroy her were never persecuted.
Recy Taylor died ten days ago, just shy of her 98th birthday. She lived as we all have lived, too many years in a
culture broken by brutally powerful men. For too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dare speak the
truth to the power of those men. But their time is up. Their time is up.
And I just hope--I just hope that Recy Taylor died knowing that her truth, like the truth of so many other women
who were tormented in those years, and even now tormented, goes marching on. It was somewhere in Rosa Parks’ heart
almost 11 years later, when she made the decision to stay seated on that bus in Montgomery, and it’s here with every
woman who chooses to say, “Me too.” And every man--every man who chooses to listen.
In my career, what I’ve always tried my best to do, whether on television or through film, is to say something
about how men and women really behave. To say how we experience shame, how we love and how we rage, how we
fail, how we retreat, persevere and how we overcome.
I’ve interviewed and portrayed people who’ve withstood some of the ugliest things life can throw at you, but the
one quality all of them seem to share is an ability to maintain hope for a brighter morning, even during our darkest
nights.
So I want all the girls watching here, now, to know that a new day is on the horizon! And when that new day
finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and
some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when
nobody ever has to say “Me too” again.
32.According to Paragraph 1, why is the press more important than ever before？ 9
A. The press can help spread the news among the public.
B. the press is meant to educate people about important values.
C. The press allows people to share stories with each other.
D. The press can help uncover the truth in these tough times.
33.What can be inferred about women from Paragraph 2 and 3？
A. They are part of the world of tech and politics and business.
B. Their contributions have long been recognized.
C. They have sacrificed a lot for their families and dreams.
D. they are always successful in their career.
34.From the passage, we can safely conclude that Rosa Parks is a/an _________ lady.
A. trustworthy B. determined C. ambitious D. stubborn
35. In the last paragraph, the speaker hopes for a new day when _________.
A. every man and woman can really enjoy equality.
B. girls will grow into magnificent women.
C. every body can speak up “Me too”.
D. every man can take the lead in fighting for equal rights.
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选品能填入空自处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Why is the world’s population growing? 36 The reason for the explosion is not that people have been
reproducing like rabbits, but that people have stopped dropping dead like flies. In 1900, people died at the average age
of 30. By 2000 the average age was 65. But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century, declining
birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st.
Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9 in the early 1960s to 2.5
nowadays. Furthermore, around 50% of the world’s population live in regions where the figure is now below the
replacement level（i.e.2.1 births per woman）and almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth
rate. 37 But you’d be wrong, declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions too, which
might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades.
38 What does it imply？First, China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population
decline hits the country. Second, if other factors such as technology remain constant, economic growth and material 10
expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could invite trouble.
Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise. Since 1992 the number
of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by a massive
50%, Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life
now than those in 1961. 39 Nobody is quite sure, but poor diet an above all long-time alcoholism have much to
do with it. If current trends don’t bend. Russia’s population will be about the size of Yemen’s by the year 2050.
40 As for the USA, it is almost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to
grow by 20% from 2010-2030. Moreover, the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants. As a result
it’s likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strong economic growth over the longer
term.
A. Why is this occurring?
B. How to solve this problem?
C. The answer is not what you might think.
D. You might think that developing nations would make up the loss.
E. One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration.
F. A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China, for instance.
G. In 2030,a sixth of the country’s potential work force could be tally uneducated.

One day, the Mullah, an important man in the village, found his donkey was gone when he
wanted to go visit a friend. He was very angry and ran around to look for his donkey.
The Mullah ran about looking until he was too tired. He sat down to rest at his gate. A few friends
came to join him.
“That no-good lazy donkey!” said he. "If I ever see her again, I’ll sell her for a dollar!" Selling a
donkey for a dollar was just a joke.
Just then the Mullah heard the sound of his donkey’s feet. He looked around.There was his donkey.On her back rode a
boy,
"Where did you find her?" asked the Mullah. "We couldn’t find her anywhere."
"I knew where I would go if I were a donkey," said the boy. "I found her eating grass with the
sheep and goats."
Suddenly, the Mullah looked to one side and saw one of his friends holding up a dollar. On the other
side he saw another with a dollar.
"I’ll buy your donkey, " said the two.
"I was joking!" said the Mullah.
"You didn’t sound as if you were joking, " said the two.
The Mullah couldn’t break his word. That would be wrong for an important person in the village. He
certainly didn’t want to sell his donkey for a dollar. So he said, "Meet me at the donkey fair on
Saturday. I shall sell her at that time. I shall sell my donkey to the one who will treat her most kindly."
Everybody was kind to animals in the village.

So the Mullah thought out a plan. He wanted to keep his word and also to keep his donkey.
On the night before the donkey fair, the Mullah bought a piece of rope. No one had any idea why the Mullah should
want a piece of rope.On Saturday, man and boy in the village came to the donkey fair.They found a cat tied with a
piece of rope to the tail of the Mullah's donkey! Beside them stood the Mullah, who looked happy."It is true, I'll sell
my donkey for a dollar," said the Mullah. "Just one thing, though.
My donkey and my cat are very good friends. They must not be parted. The kind man who buys my donkey must
buy my cat also.""How much is your cat?" asked many voices."Oh, my cat is a very important animal," said the Mullah.
"Her father caught a mouse for a king. Her mother caught a mouse for the Queen. She is one of the finest of cats. For
such a great cat I want one hundred dollars."The men laughed, and gave up the idea of owning the donkey.

live it to the fullest.
M: I agree.

W: (16)Good evening, I’m Mary Bradley. On today’s program, our special guest is Reid Hoffman, the man who
started the amazingly successful and popular website LinkedIn. So Reid, you were the first CEO of LinkedIn. Tell us a
little about your website.
M: (13)We basically provide a professional networking service, aimed at those looking to make connections within
the business community.
W: Oh, so it’s like Twitter or Facebook for people looking for jobs, sharing photos, meeting people or chatting…that
kind of thing?
M: Not exactly. As a networking service, of course you can meet people and chat with one another. Photos can be
shared as well, (14)but in order to make connections, you need to be introduced by someone else first.
W: So, if we didn’t know each other, I would need someone who does know you to send an “introduction” message
first, and you could either accept or reject it?
M: That’s right.
W: In my notes, it says your website started in 2003. It only took you three years to make money, and by 2007, you
reached ten million users. Tell us about the most recent changes in your company. 19
M: (15)Jeff Weiner took over as CEO in 2008. Thanks to his hard work, we now have over five hundred million
members from two hundred countries.
W: (16)Thank you for your coming to our studio this evening, Reid.

W: Many of customers asked me how I began making cakes. Now I’d like to share how I began my career as a cake
maker.
(17)I started off making cakes for my kids and quickly realized that baking provided me with a creative outlet（表现
机 会 ） that had been missing from my work selling toys to children. I started posting pictures of my work on
Facebook and soon developed a large following. Friends and friends of friends started asking me to make cakes for
them, (18)so I figured I should give this a shot as a business! After two years baking at night while working in my
office during the day, I decided to take the leap and go full-time with it. (18)(19)That was five years ago when I was
already forty years old. I never looked back! Since then, the business has grown dramatically! It was clearly the best
decision for me because it develops a creative side of me that had previously been unfulfilled. The added bonus is I’m
able to be home for my kids every day when they come home from school. (20)Many women who fear changing
their lives have been inspired by my change. 20

development and smart port construction in member countries of ASEAN, South Asia, Eastern Europe, West
Asia and Africa. 可知不同国家的人在用 BDS based services 而且用在不同的领域，可以选 D。

B 篇
第 24 题 这道主旨题需要用串线法把这个文章的主要内容串联出来，第一段到第三段介绍 zan 这个 app,
第四段话锋一转，讲这个 app 可能会造成的隐私泄露，第五到第七段讲各方的解决方案。D 虽然概括也
不 全 面 ， 但 是 ABC 更 加 片 面 ， 其 实 把 D 改 成 potential worries about face-changing app and some
corresponding solutions. 会更好。
第 25 题 根据第 6 段的 that will not use headshots or videos uploaded by users other than to improve the
app，可知，用户的头像以及视频，如果 app 不做管制的话，相关技术会把这些私人信息做别的用途，
选 C
第 26 题 根据第 6 段 On Sunday, the app issued a statement promising to modify its privacy policy. It also
assured users that the app will not result in any compromise to their payment accounts. The app has since
changed its terms to ensure that it will not use head shots or videos uploaded by users other than to improve
the app. It also promised to remove from its servers any content that was uploaded but subsequently deleted
by users. 陌陌这个 app 答应用户的支付信息、头像、视频、之前删除的信息不会被泄露，也就是保证用
户的网络安全，选 B。其次最后一段的最后一句话也可以看出来。
第 27 题 根据最后一段，网信部对于陌陌公司的督促，呼吁可知，网信部需要陌陌公司最大限度地保护
用户隐私和个人信息，这是对第四段提出来这个问题的解决方案。故选 A。
C 篇 22
第 28 题 结合上下文可以看出，在解决最后一公里的问题，而且 final 和 last 正好相呼应。故选 D。
第 29 题 细节题。A 定位到第二段最后一句 Its powerful sensors（传感器）can also detect the movement
of a car backing out of a driveway.并不是用来传递的；B 定位到第四段一整段，这个机器人的研发公司是
食杂百货，并不是机器人的功能；C 回到第二段，并没有提及可以避免阻挡这个事情；故选 D。
第 30 题 作者态度题。从第五段可以看出，作者认为这些机器尽管有好处，也有自身的局限性，这
是一种客观的态度。故选 A。

和旅游手册的，只可能是报纸。故选 C。
D 篇
第 32 题 定位到第一段第四行 ...as we try to navigate these complicated times, which brings me to this:

Parks became the lead investigator on her case and together they sought justice. 这位女士作为调查的领导
人，最终声张了正义。这个过程是很难的，可见这位女士是富有决心的，C 选项的 ambitious 指富有事
业心，不如 B 选项来的恰当。故选 B。 23

027 选 5 阅读答案：36-40 CDFAE
这篇文章讲了目前世界各国面临着生育率下降，劳动力短缺的问题，并举了几个典型国家的例子论述、
提出解决方案。要准确填空，需要结合前后文的内容推断语境，总体难度中等。这里的 40 题容易看到 B
选项就认为很合适，而忽略了 E 这个更确切贴合的答案。
详细解析：
第 36 题 结合后文的 The reason for the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits,
but that people have stopped dropping dead like flies.来看，这句话前半句在否定一种观点，接着阐述作者
的观点。因此选项 C 中包含这种否定意味，故选 C。
第 37 题 结 合 后 文 的 But you'd be wrong, declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing
regions too, which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades.也就是发展
中国家也面临着人口不足的问题，可见前一句肯定在说发展中国家没有出生率低的问题。故选 D。
第 38 题 结合整段都在围绕中国论述，可见段落首句必然有提及中国，故选 F。
第 39 题 结合后文的 Nobody is quite sure, but poor diet an above all long-time alcoholism have much to
do with it. 可以看出这句话是一种解释，即酗酒是人口问题的原因之一，因此前一句必然是在问原因，
故选 A。
第 40 题 结 合 后 文 Moreover, the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants. As a
result it's likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strong economic growth
over the longer term.可知，美国由于政策性引进移民人口，使得劳动力充足，经济增长。相比于选项 B，
选项 E 直接具体的点出引进外来移民劳动力这个举措，更加贴合语境，故选 E。

本篇完型结合时事，描述了张医生在疫情期间的幽默发言，本文考察了大量的词义辨析和固定搭配，考
察的词汇短语都是有一些难度的，需要考生基础非常扎实才能做好，属于较有难度的完型。可能的难题
是 43,44,48,55。
详细解析：
第 41 题 根据前面的说是和医生聊天，而且后面定语从句是难以理解可知，这里是说专业术语，用
terms。
第 42 题 根据前面说医生会说听不懂的术语，然后这句话开头用 but 转折可知，这里是说这个医生是
个例外，用 exceptions。
第 43 题 根据前面的 recent frank and funny
speech，可知这个医生很风趣，并且下一段说赢得了广泛的掌声，可知这里应该是第一次受欢迎，因此
用固定搭配 make a hit。make a name 是指成名，用在这里不够贴切，因为下文说了是赢得广泛的掌声，
医生说这些也不是为了出名。
第 44 题 这里可能会有考生第一反应是加入抗议前线的医疗团队，而选 join，但仔细看这句话，去掉
定语从句，是 xx doctors and nurses to frontline hospitals…可知，填 join 是不合适的，而 sent 才是正确答
案，送他们去前线，没有 join xx to sp 这种说法。
第 45 题 根据这里是医生在发誓可知，这里的 interests 不是兴趣，是利益，因此应该是发誓要以人民
的利益为先，因此选 prioritize，优先考虑。
第 46 题 固定搭配，兑现诺言/誓言用 live up to，现在使我们兑现誓言的时候了。
第 47 题 根据前面说的话是非常大义凛然的可知，这里是赢得了大家的掌声，选 applause，也照应前
面的 make a hit。 25
第 48 题 这题考察词义辨析，首先 B 可以排除，因为表示主动出现，但这里是被动，而 A 代入是被做
记号，C 是被象征，英文解释是 if something symbolizes a quality, feeling etc, it represents it，往往是某种
图案，标志象征着某种品质，精神等，放在这里不合适。只有 D，被看到最合适，一个人的道德品质在 xx
形式下最能被看出，被体现。
第 49 题 根据前文可知，这里是在疫情期间，因此是关键的，危急的情况。
第 50 题 根据后面有 win more recognition 以及语意可知，这里是用否定+比较级表示最高级，没有什么
比中共党员的实际行动能赢得更多的认可，因此填 nothing。
第 51 题 根据后面是待在家可知，这里是降低风险，固定搭配 reduce the risk of。
第 52 题 根据后面是一句话可知，而且介词是 in 可知，这里应该是表达用某种语言，因此是要表达上
海话，方言用 dialect。
第 53 题 根据前文说 Zhang 的话非常流行可知，这里是媒体们争相报道他，因此用 chase 追逐最合适，B
被抓，C 被利用，D 被跟踪都不合适。
第 54 题 根据前面 Zhang 公开发言可知，这里是要表示在公众面前发声，因此用固定搭配 speak out 表
示大胆讲。
第 55 题 根据 but 转折可知，这里是说疫情结束后他会低调生活，固定搭配 low profile 表示低调，因
此选 profile，其余选项均无该意思。
第 56 题 根据这里是在讲民众恐慌可知，是说民众对传染病有有限的了解，因此用 knowledge，command
表示知识；（尤指对语言的）掌握，运用能力，但这里并不是语言，因此用适用范围更广的 knowledge
更合适。 26
第 57 题 curtain 表示窗帘，延伸为帷幕，一旦疫情的帷幕落下，因此用 fall，表示落下。
第 58 题 照应前面的低调生活以及后面 hide myself，这里是就会很难找到我了，用 hard。
第 59 题 还是跟前面的低调生活一脉相承，“安静地读书”，因此选 silently。
第 60 题 固定搭配 participate in sth.表示参加，每个待在家的人都是在参与抗击疫情的战斗。

So the Mullah thought out a plan. He wanted to keep his word and also to keep his donkey. 27
On the night before the donkey fair, the Mullah bought a piece of rope. No one had any idea on why
the Mullah should want a piece of rope. On Saturday, the man and the boy in the village came to the donkey
fair as scheduled. They found a cat tied with a piece of rope to the tail of the Mullah's donkey! Beside them
stood the Mullah, who looked happy. "It is true, I'll sell my donkey for adollar," said the Mullah. “Just one
thing, though.”
My donkey and my cat are very good friends. They must not be parted. The kind man who buys my
donkey must buy my cat also. ""How much is your cat?" asked many voices. "Oh, my cat is a
very important animal," said the Mullah. "Her father caught a mouse for the King. Her mother seized a
mouse for the Queen. None can equal its agility and smartness. For such a great cat, I want one hundred
dollars." The men burst out laughing and gave up the idea of owning the donkey.
