The government of Norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the Arctic Ocean. The
place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. The goal is to represent all crops known to scientists.
The British magazine New Scientist published details of the plan last month. The structure will be designed to protect
the world’s food supply against nuclear war climate change and other possible threats. It will be built in a mountain
on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole, the
northernmost position on Earth.
An international group called the Global Crop Diversity Trust is working on the project. The director of the
group, Cary Fowler, spoke to New Scientist. He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if in his words
“the worst came to the worst”. Norway is expected to start work next year. The project is expected to cost three
million dollars. Workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never rise above
zero degrees Celsius. The seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick and high-security doors.
The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. Most of the
seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds
need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air
inside the storage space each winter. Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below zero Celsius.
The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.
Mr. Fowler says the proposed structure will be the world’s most secure gene bank. He says the plant seeds would
,only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason.Norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s. But security
concerns delayed the plan. At that time, the Soviet Union was permitted use of Spitsbergen. New Scientist says the
plan won United Nations approval in October at a meeting in Rome of the Food and Agriculture Organization.
1. The project is meant to_____.
A. increase the world’s food production in the future
B. carry out some scientific experiments on plant genes
C. protect crop seeds from dying out in case of possible disasters
D. build an exhibition centre of the world’s plant seeds
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the above passage?
A. The government of Norway will perform the project alone.
B. Seeds to be collected there were produced ten thousand years ago.
C. Spitsbergen is chosen because it is away from the threat of unclear war forever.
D. Temperature is a major consideration when choosing the storage place.
3. We can infer from the text that_____.
A. People will get newly-developed seeds from the center every year
B. The storage center will greatly promote the development of world agriculture
C. Norway meant to have built the storage centre more than 20 years ago
D. There haven’t been any seed storage centers in the world before

Researchers have just offered evidence in a study that says obesity appears to spread through social ties, much
like a virus. When one person gains weight, their close friends often follow. But the finding might also offer hope.
If friends help make obesity acceptable, then might also be influential in losing the fat. The researchers note that
support groups are already an effective tool in dealing with other socially influenced problems, like alcoholism.
The findings appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine, The researchers used information collected
from 12,000 people. It was collected between 1971 and 2003 as part of the Framingham Heart Study.
The information was highly detailed. There was even contact information for close friends of the people in the
study.
The researchers examined more than 40,000 social ties. They found that a person’s chances of becoming
severely overweight increased by 57% if a friend had become obese.
A sister or brother of a person who became obese had a 40% increased chance of becoming obese. The risk for a
wife or husband was a little less than that.
Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School was a lead investigator in the study. He says there is a direct
causal relationship between a person getting fat and being followed in weight gain by a friend.
The study found that the sex of the friends was also an influence. In same-sex friendships a person had a 70%
increased risk of becoming obese. Men had a 44% increased risk of becoming obese after weight gain in brother. In sisters, it was 67%.
The researchers also considered the effect of where people lived in relation to each other. James Fowler of the
University of California, San Diego, was the other lead investigator. He says a friend who lives a few hundred
kilometers away has as much influence as one in the same neighborhood. He says the study demonstrates the need to
consider that a major part of people’s health is tied to their social connections.
Both investigators say their research shows that obesity is not just a private medical issue, but a public health
problem.
5. What does the underlined sentence in Para. 2 mean?
A. Obesity has a negative influence on a close friend.
B. Friends might also play a part in losing weight.
C. One might have a positive influence on one’s friend.
D. Friends usually don’t follow each other to lose weight.
6. Who is mostly likely to gain weight?
A. A man who has a fat brother B. A husband who has a fat wife
C. A wife who has a fat husband D. A woman who has a fat female friend
7. Which of the following statements doesn’t the passage agree with?
A. You are sure to lose weight if you have a skinny friend.
B. If one gains weight, one’s friends are likely to get fat.
C. A person’s health is closely linked with his /her social relationship.
D. Even if the friend lives far away, the influence still remains.
8. The reason why the study involves both family members and friends is that_______.
A. researchers fail to find a more different sample
B. researchers have different ideas for family members and friends
C. researchers can meet these people regularly
D. researchers can compare the results
【答案】5. B 6. D 7. A 8. D

Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely go there to buy a book
as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you
can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings.
The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought
not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book.
You soon become interested in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have
spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment—without buying a book, of
course.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are
not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round
such places to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting:
“Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the
background until you have finished browsing. Then and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may
want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire discreetly and
look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.
You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop
looking for a book on, say ancient coins and come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a
book about brass-rubbing-something which had only slightly interested you up till then. This volume of the subject,
however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to
buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of
time wandering from section to section.
9. The underlined phrase “dust jacket” means_______.
A. a kind of clothes B. a paper cover of book
C. a dusty book D. a title of a book
10. You may spend too much time in a bookshop because_______.
A. the dust jackets are very attractive
B. you start reading one of the books
C. it is raining outside
D you have to make sure you won’t buy a dull book as a present
11. In a good bookshop_______.
A. all the books there are interesting B. the assistant greets you in a warm way
C. your heart is satisfied D. you feel that you are in a music shop
12. The best title for this passage may be_____.
A. The Attraction of Bookshops B. How to Spend Your Time
C. Bookshops and Their Assistants D. How to select Books?
【答案】9. B 10. B 11. C 12. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。在书店里度过的时光是非常愉快的。不管你出于何种原因进入书店,你总会不知不觉的
.被它所吸引。文章主要叙述了书店的迷人之处。
【9 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据此句 The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust-jacket is irresistible, although this
method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book. 所表达的意思,想要找
一本有吸引人的封面的书是不可抗拒的,尽管这种方法不应该被仿照,因为你可能结果发现这是一本相当
无趣的书。由此可知,划线部分的意思是“书的封面’’。故选 B。
【10 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“You soon become absorbed in some book or other, and usually……”可看出你可能在书
店花费时间太长是因为你专注于读某本书,故选 B。
【11 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段 This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main
attraction of a bookshop.可知,这种逃避日常生活的机会,我认为,是书店的主要吸引力。由此可推知,一个
好的书店能满足我们心里的想法。故选 C。
【12 题详解】
主旨大意题。 通读全文,并结合倒数第二段 This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the
main attraction of a bookshop.和最后一段第一句 You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books
in a bookshop.可知,文章介绍书店吸引人之处。故选 A。
D
Windows not only let light in to cut down an electricity use for lighting, but the light coming through the
window also provides heat. However, windows are not something people typically associate with being a cutting
edge technology. Researchers are now working on new technologies that enable a window to quickly change from
clear to dark and anywhere in between with a turn of a switch.
“It took us a long time to figure out what a window really is,” says Claes Granqvist, a professor of solid-state
physics at Uppsala University In Sweden. “It’s contact with the outside world. You have to have visual contact with
the surrounding world to feel well,” So ,windows and natural light are important for improving the way people feel
when they’re stuck indoors.
Yet, windows are the weak link in a building when it comes to energy and temperature control. In the winter,
cold air leaks in. When it’s hot and sunny, sunlight streams in. All of this sunlight carries lots of heat and energy. And
all of this extra heat forces people to turn on their air conditioners. Producing cold air, which can feel so refreshing,
actually suck up enormous amounts of electricity in buildings around the world.Windows have been a major focus of energy research for a long time. Over the years, scientists have come up
with a variety of strategies for coating, glazing, and layering windows to make them more energy efficient. Smart
windows go a step further. They use some technologies involving changes of color.
Electrochromic windows use electricity to change color. For example, a sheet of glass coated with thin layers of
tungsten oxide works bit like a battery. Tungsten oxide is clear when an electric charge is applied and dark when the
charge is removed. That is, when the amount of voltage is decreased, the window darkens until it’s completely dark
after all electricity is taken away. So applying a voltage determines whether the window looks clear or dark.
One important feature that makes a smart window so smart is that it has a sort of “memory”. All it takes is a
small shock of voltage to turn the window from one state to the other. Then, it stays that way. Transitions take from
10 seconds to a few minutes, depending on the size of the window. The development of smart windows could mean
that massive air conditioning systems may no longer need. “In the future,” Granqvist says, “our buildings may look
different.”
13. Which statement dose not indicate the importance of windows as described in the first two paragraphs?
A. Windows can change from clear to dark to save energy.
B. Windows help to save energy by letting light in.
C. Windows help to save energy by providing heat.
D. Windows enable people to have contact with the outside world.
14. According to the passage, smart windows are windows .
A. that are coated B. that use electricity
C. the color of which can be changed D. that have many layers
15. To make electrochromic windows change color, what is applied to the window glass?
A. Electricity B. Tungsten oxide C. A battery D. A voltage
【答案】13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们对智能窗户的研究情况。窗户透光,但不隔热,因此它成为能源研究者
们的研究对象;研究人员致力于研究一种新技术,使窗户在隔热和透光方面能随着人们的需要而调整,这
意味着将来人们可能不再需要使用空调。
【13 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句 Researchers are now working on new technologies that enable a window to
quickly change from clear to dark and anywhere in between with a turn of a switch.可知,研究人员现在正在研究
新技术,只要转动开关,窗户就能迅速从明暗变暗。由此可知,窗户可以由亮变暗以节省能源是一项正在被研究的新技术,这并不是窗户的重要性。故选 A。
【14 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段 Smart windows go a step further. They use some technologies involving changes of
color.可知,智能窗是可以改变颜色的窗户。故选 C。
【15 题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 Electrochromic windows use electricity to change color. For example, a sheet of
glass coated with thin layers of tungsten oxide works bit like a battery.可知,电变色窗户是用电来改变颜色的。例
如,一块涂有薄层氧化钨的玻璃就像电池一样工作。由此可知,为了使电变色窗户改变颜色,氧化钨被应
用在窗户玻璃上。故选 B。

空前说半夜的时候,我听到外面传来一阵声响,空后又说我想起来告诉她,因此此处描述这阵声响听起来
是什么样子的,故 D 项(听起来好像有人在黑暗中开门)符合语境。
【17 题详解】
空前说那件事之后,我总是在睡觉的时候听到外面有开门声,此处是对这种情况的进一步说明,讲的是有
时甚至一晚上会发生好几次这样的情况,A 项中的“happened”与空前的“happened”相一致,故A 项(有
时候这种情况一晚上会发生三次)符合语境。
【18 题详解】
空前说昨晚我像往常一样在夜里 3 点半左右就醒了,当我准备接着睡的时候我又听到了声响,此处承接上
文,讲的是我当时的反应——想动却动不了,上文中的“I was about to get up to tell her when all of a sudden I
couldn’t move.”(我想要起身告诉她,突然间却动弹不得)也是提示,故F 项(我试着移动,但却动不了)
符合语境。

【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了,由于冠状病毒的流行而对外出购物持谨慎态度,中国的公司正在尝试“无
接触”模式的新销售手段。
【41 题详解】
考查时态。keen to get customers back in their cars and help farmers due to roadblocks 是插入成分,主语是 Oil
giant Sinopec,此处缺乏谓语动词,由 last month 可知,时态用一般过去时。故填 launched。
【42 题详解】
考查名词的数。此处名词作主语,由谓语动词 place and pay for 可知,时态是一般现在时,谓语复数形式(不
加 s),主语也是复数,consumer(顾客)是可数名词,名词复数形式可加 s,首字母大写。故填
Consumers。
【43 题详解】
考查现在分词。本句由 When 引导的时间状语从句,主句已有谓语动词 put 且无连词,此处用非谓语形式,
主句主语 employees 和动词 avoid 是逻辑上的主谓关系,应用现在分词(doing)表主动,作状语。故填 avoiding。
44 题详解】
考查形式宾语。此处用形式宾语 it 代替真正宾语(to shop as before)。故填 it。
【45 题详解】

【46 题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。此处是定语从句,先行词是 products like milk and yoghurt,指物,在从句中作主语,
应用关系代词 which 或 that。故填 which/that。
【47 题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:由于人们被禁止去超市,病毒的爆发降低了人们对乳制品的消费。由主句谓语 has
decreased(现在完成时属于现在时态范畴)可知,整句话讲的是现在发生的事情,as 引导的原因状语从句
也应该用现在的时态,此处指“(现在)人们被禁止去超市”,应用一般现在时,主语people 和谓语动词 forbid
是被动关系,应用一般现在时的被动语态(am/is/are done),主语 people 是复数,用 are forbidden。故填 are
【forbidden。
【48 题详解】
考查形容词。名词 rival 要形容词修饰,应用形容词 competitive(有竞争力的)作名词的定语。故填
competitive。
【49 题详解】
考查冠词。句意:不过,一位独立零售业分析师刘兴亮表示,Luckin 的策略只会产生适度的影响。此处泛
指“一位独立零售业分析师”,independent 以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词 an 表泛指。故填 an。
【50 题详解】
考查副词。deliberate 要修饰谓语动词结构 is choosing,副词修饰动词,用副词 deliberately 作状语。故填
deliberately。
第三节(共 5 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 5 分)
51. People with a poor memory often f___things. (根据首字母补全句子)

述客观事实,需用一般现在时,主语为 People,谓语动词用原形,forget 意为“忘记”。故填forget。
52. Spring is a s___when trees turn green and flowers open. (根据首字母补全句子)
【答案】season
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:春天是一个树木变绿,鲜花开放的季节。____ when trees turn green and flowers
open.是定语从句,修饰前面的名词,根据句意,可知此处 spring 指的是一个季节,前面有不定冠词修饰,
用名词单数,故填 season。
53. Don’t always d___on others. You should learn to rely on yourself. (根据首字母补全句子)
【答案】depend
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意:不要总是依靠别人,你应该学会依靠自己。根据后文的 rely on 可以推断出这里
填近义词组 depend on,本句是祈使句,Don't 后面动词需要用原形,故填 depend。
54. George was born on June 1, so Children’s Day is also his b___. (根据首字母补全句子)
【答案】birthday
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:乔治出生在六月一号,所以儿童节也是他的生日。根据前文 was born on,可知此处和生日有关系,故填 birthday。

57. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整 故事。续写的词数应为 150 词左右。
One fall,my wife Elli and I had a single goal:to photograph polar bears.We were staying at a research camp
outside"the polar bear capital of the world”-the town of Churchill in Manitoba, Canada.
Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous.Polar bears-like all wild animals-should be
photographed from a safe distance.When I'm face to face with a polar bear,I like it to be through a camera with a
telephoto lens.But sometimes,that is easier said than done.This was one of those times.
As Elli and I cooked dinner,a young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffed, and smelled our
garlic bread.
The hungry bear followed his nose to our camp,which was surrounded by a high wire fence.He pulled and bit the
wire.He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts.
Terrified,Elli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew.We yelled at the bear,hit pots hard, and fired blank
shotgun shells into the air Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off.Not this polar bear though-he just
kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws(爪子)
I radioed the camp manager for help.He told me a helicopter was on its way,but it would be 30 minutes before it
arrived.Making the best of this close encounter(相遇),I took some pictures or the bear.
Eilt and I feared the fence wouldn't last through 30 more minutes of the bear's punishment.The camp manager
suggested I use pepper spray.The spray burns the bears' eyes,but doesn't hurt them. So I approached our uninvited
guest slowly and.through the fence,sprayed him in the face.With an angry roar(吼叫),the bear ran to the lake to
wash his eyes.
Para 1
A few minutes later,the bear headed back to our camp.
Para 2.
At that very moment,the helicopter arrived.
【 答 案 】A few minutes later, the bear headed back to our camp. Roars and screams pierced the silence with
needle-like shrillness. The noises turned Elli and I pale with horror. I feared that the giant would destroy our whole
fence. He roared repeatedly, shattering what was left of the silence. Elli seized this opportunity to take somepictures
of the bear. The animal’s noises echoed all around us. We betrayed our feelings by huddling together, shivering with
fear. After thoroughly scrutinizing the area, he trotted forward a few steps.
的
.At that very moment, the helicopter arrived. My heart leaped with joy as I knew we were likely to be saved. Elli
used pepper spray again to buy us enough time. But this time the bear became more alert. He regarded us with the
merciless necessity of hunger, so we throw all the food we have. He then turned away and started devouring. As we
were climbing the rope ladder, Elli prayed like thousand times to show thankfulness of being safe and sound.
【解析】
【分析】
本文主要讲述了人与熊对抗,之后成功脱险的故事。
【详解】主人公的感情线变化为:兴奋渴望→惊恐→放松。剧情线以主人公如何与北极熊周旋并成功摆脱
它展开。具体思路如下:
由第一段的段首提示句可知:几分钟后,熊又回到营地。接下来可通过场景渲染,描写当时令人颤栗惊恐
的画面,例如“Roars and screams pierced the silence with needle-like shrillness.”这不仅合理地描写了熊的反应,
也描绘出让人战栗的场景。要注意与第二段首句的衔接。
由第二段的段首提示句可知:此时,直升机到了。如果想要进行续写两段的合理衔接,第一段的结尾可描
写成“After thoroughly scrutinizing the area, the bear trotted forward a few steps.”这样可以营造出危急的场景。
“我们”看到直升机的到来,感到绝处逢生的喜悦,可以以人物心理描写作为第二段的开头,重点描写喜
极而泣的状态,例如“My heart leaped with joy as I knew we were likely to be saved.”最后,结尾部分需要迅速
收束,并说明成功逃脱的结局。
【点睛】本文续写内容与原文高度契合,使用了高级词汇和句子,尤其突出的是,场景和心理描写传神到
位,如:Roars and screams pierced the silence with needle-like shrillness.,又如 He roared repeatedly, shattering
what was left of the silence.,这不仅合理地描写了熊的动作,也渲染出让人战栗的场景,让读者有极强的代
入感;再如 As we were climbing the rope ladder, Elli prayed like thousand times to show thankfulness of being
safe and sound.传神地描绘出了 Elli 对于绝处逢生感到难以言表的喜悦和对救援的感激之情,等等。
