第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分 35 分)
第一节(共 10 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 25 分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
John B. Goodenough, an engineering professor from the University of Texas at Austin, has
been awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry-jointly with M. Stanley Whittingham, a chemistry
professor from the State University of New York and Japan's Akira Yoshino, a professor of Meijo
University-for the development of lithium-ion batteries(锂电池). According to the Nobel Committee,
the three scientists "have created the right conditions for a wireless and fossil fuel-free society, and
so brought the greatest benefit to humankind".
Goodenough, born in 1922, identified and developed the key materials that can power portable
electronics, leading to the wireless revolution. Today, batteries containing Goodenough's innovations
are used worldwide for mobile phones, power tools, laptops, tablets and other wireless devices, as
well as electric vehicles.
Goodenough received a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Yale University and a doctorate
in physics from the university of Chicago. He beat the odds against him, first overcoming dyslexia(阅读困难症)as a child, and then the claim of a teacher who told the doctoral student in his
20s that he had started too late to be successful in physics.
He began his career in 1952 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory,
where he laid the groundwork for the development of random-access memory (RAM) for the digital
computer. After MIT, Goodenough became a professor and head of the Inorganic Chemistry
Laboratory at the University of Oxford where in 1979 he discovered it would be possible to store
energy in rechargeable batteries through lithium cobalt oxide(锂钴氧化物).That discovery helped
develop the lithium-ion battery. Goodenough joined the University of Texas at Austin in 1986,
where his groundbreaking work continued.
At 97 years old, he still continues to push the boundaries of materials science. Despite the
lithium-ion battery being well developed and available as a commercial product, it has its
limitations. It can't be charged too fast or overcharged. Goodenough still wants to see some new
developments.
"I hope Ut-Austin still keeps me employed," Goodenough once joked.
21. The underlined phrase "beat the odds" in Paragraph 3 means " ".
A. become very famous B. face the challenges
C. win the competition D. overcome the difficulties
22. What can we infer from the passage?
A. In MIT, Goodenough made the important discovery leading to the development of the
Lithium-ion battery.
B. When he studied for his doctorate in university, not all his teachers encouraged him to be
successful.
C. According to the Nobel Committee, Goodenough made the greatest contributions in the
discovery.
D. Because of his old age, Goodenough found it difficult to improve the limitations of the
lithium-ion battery.
23. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Father of the Lithium-ion Batteries. B. Three Scientists are Awarded the Nobel Prize.
C. Make the World "Good enough". D. It's Never too Old to Learn.
BAIDS may be one of the most undesirable diseases in the world. Luckily, there is now hope for
AIDS patients. According to a recent paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine,
Chinese scientists have successfully used CRISPR technology-a method of gene editing-to treat a
patient with HIV. While it may not have cured the patient fully, it still represents a huge step forward
in fighting the disease.
The patient was a 27-year-old Chinese man who was diagnosed with both AIDS and acute
lymphoblastic leukemia, a type of blood cancer. Despite his bleak situation, doctors offered him a
glimmer of hope: a bone marrow(骨髓)transplant to treat his cancer and an experimental treatment
for his HIV.
They edited the DNA in bone marrow stem cells from a donor before transplanting the cells
into the patient. Specifically, the treatment involved using the gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 to
delete a gene known as CCRS, which encodes a protein that HIV uses to get inside human cells.
Without the gene, HIV is unable to enter cells.
Talking about the gene, lead scientist Deng Hongkui told CNN, "After being edited, the
cells-and the blood cells they produce-have the ability to resist HIV infection." Nineteen months
after the treatment, the patient's leukemia was in complete relief and donor cells without CCR5
remained, according to the research paper.
Though the transplant did not cure the man's HIV, it still showed the effectiveness of
gene-editing technology, as there was no indication of any unintended genetic alterations(改变)-a
major concern with past gene therapy experiments.
Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in the United
States, who was not involved in the study, praised the treatment. "They did a very innovative
experiment, it was safe," he told Live Science. "It should be viewed as a success."
Deng believes gene-editing technology could "bring a new dawn" to blood-related diseases
such as AIDS and sickle cell anemia. Thanks to this new technology, "the goal of a functional cure
for AIDS is getting closer and closer," he said.
24. How did the new treatment fight against HIV?
A. By preventing HIV from entering cells. B. By changing the structure of HIV.
C. By removing a protein that HIV feeds on. D. By identifying and killing HIV.
25. What was the result of the treatment?A. CCR5 and other genes in the patient's cells were changed.
B. Some of the patient's blood cells could resist HIV infection.
C. HIV could no longer get into the patient's cells.
D. The donor cells without CCR5 disappeared finally.
26. What do we know about the experiment?
A. It has provided an innovative way to cure AIDS patients.
B. It pointed out the problems of gene therapy for AIDS.
C. It's the first experiment to use gene-editing technology to treat AIDS.
D. It could offer a safe treatment for blood-related diseases.
C
When HarmonyOS, the Chinese self-developed operating system for Huawei mobile devices,
was released on Aug 9, it quickly became a hot topic on social media. Many believe it not only
represents the rise of the country as a tech power, but also pays tribute(致敬)to classical Chinese
culture by naming the system "Hongmeng" in Chinese. "Hongmcng" is a classical word from the
Taoist(道家)text Zhuangzi. In the ancient times of Chinese myths and legends, "Hongmeng" was
used to describe the original state of the universe before matter existed.
For HarmonyOS, "Hongmeng" indicates the developers' aim to make an innovative operating
system, unlike any other. Besides "Hongmeng", Huawei has also registered many of its products
under the names of legendary creatures from Chinese mythology, such as "Qilin"for the Kin mobile
chip, and "Kunpeng" for the server chip. Many Chinese internet users and media have praised
Huawei's use of these names, "as they stand for Chinese wisdom and ancient people's imagination
and spirit of exploration", Global Times noted.
In fact, Huawei is not alone in using traditional culture for modern ventures. Ne Zha, the new
film, also portrays traditional culture in a modern context. Earlier this month it became the biggest
animated movie in China and was called "the glorious light of domestic anime". The movie is
loosely based on the well-known work of classical Chinese mythology The Investiture of the Gods.
Unlike his attractive heroic character in previous cinematic works, Ne Zha is shown as a rebellious
underdog, who has to overcome hardship and his dark fate to become a hero. Many young Chinese
people can relate to Ne Zha, who encourages them to become dream-chasers and fate-changers. As
Global Times put it, today by revisiting and incorporating a modern context, "ancient mythology has the power to stir up contemporary imagination in young people". After all, imagination is the
beginning of creation.
27. Why did Huawei name the new system "Hongmeng" in Chinese?
A. Huawei was interested in describing the original state of the universe.
B. Huawei targeted at designing a unique operating system in the world.
C. Huawei aimed to develop classical culture.
D. Huawei was fond of Chinese myths and legends.
28. What was Global Times' tone about Huawei's use of the names from ancient cultures?
A. Admirable. B. Indifferent. C. Neutral. D. Critical.
29. Which statement about the new movie Ne Zha is NOT true?
A. Not all the plot is based on the popular Chinese mythology.
B. The new film Ne Zha means a lot to domestic anime in China.
C. The character of Ne Zha is a failure at first in previous works.
D. The film Ne Zha encourages many youth to achieve dreams.
30. What's the passage mainly about?
A. Huawei's new names for its products and their influence.
B. A brief introduction of a new successful movie Ne Zha.
C. Imagination is important and the beginning of creation.
D. Ancient cultures come into new life and inspire imagination.

HOT on the heels of equality
31 They lengthen the legs but shorten the steps; they give the wearer a sense of power
but can also be painful to wear; they are worn by working women, but their visual appeal has
nothing to do with work.
In Japan, a new social media campaign highlights the issues many women have with this
footwear. 32 In May, thousands of women signed an online petition(请愿书)demanding that the
government ban the practice.
“ 33 ”said the movement founder Yuni Ishikawa, 32 yeas old, in an interview with the Associated Press. "It's the view that appearances are more important for women at work than for
men."
As early as January, Ishikawa shared her frustration about the unfairness of this dress code on
the Instagram social network. In her part-time job as a funeral usher(迎宾员), she was required to
wear black heels between 5 and 7cm high. 34 ."High heels can cause bunions, blisters and
strain the lower back. It's hard to move, you can't run and your feet hurt,” Ishikawa wrote in the
petition, “ 35 ”
It's a modest dream. Not too long ago, Japanese businessmen were expected to wear neckties,
even on hot days. Then, the government encouraged companies to use less air conditioning and
reduce electricity use. Men were freed from neckties. "This petition is the first step toward 'creating
a working environment free from unnecessary burdens'." Ishikawa said.
A. It's unreasonable.
B. This is about gender discrimination.
C. She would come home with bleeding toes.
D. I hope there will come a day when women don't have to wear heels in the workplace.
E. High-heeled shoes are loaded with contradictions.
F. They are upset that many companies require women to wear high heels to work.
G. It would be great if the country had a similar kind of campaign about neckties.

Can you tell the time on an analog clock? 56 (hope), you can! It's the only way for you to
know the time when 57 (take) exams.
However, some high schools in the UK will remove analog clocks 58 exam halls and use
digital. 59 instead. The reason is that 60 (teenage) are unable to read the correct time on
analog clocks. They are used to seeing the time on the phone, 61 on the computer. Nearly
everything they've got is digital.
Teachers want their students to feel as 62 (relax) as possible during exams. However,
having a 63 (tradition) clock in the room could make students feel stressed out during an exam
Many of them might raise their hands to ask 64 time it is.
The schools are trying to make everything as easy and straightforward as possible for students
during the exams. Another advantage of using digital clocks 65 (be) that students are less
likely to get the time wrong.

第二节：读后续写(满分 25 分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A young man had bought an old house that was in bad shape, but he and his wife believed they
could restore it. They immediately went to work. Their goal was to have the old building look best
for New Year's Eve get-together.
Just two days before New Year, however, a storm swept through the area, leaving a hole in the
wall of the house. There was obviously no time to repair the damage before New Year. Then, the sad
couple attended a local auction(拍卖)that afternoon. One of the items put up for bids was an old
gold-and-ivory-colored tablecloth. Seized by an inspiration, the young man was the highest bidder at
$ 6.50. His idea was to hang the cloth to cover the ragged hole.
On the day before New Year, it was snowy. As the young man unlocked the house door, he
noticed an old woman standing at the bus stop. He knew the bus wouldn't be there within at least
half an hour, so he invited her inside to keep warm.
When the woman walked in and saw the tablecloth, she rushed at it and said excitedly, "It's
mine. It is my tablecloth." She told the surprised man its history and even showed him her name in
one comer of the tablecloth. She and her husband had once lived in Vienna, Austria, and their village
was hit by a deadly disease. So they decided to flee to Switzerland, but her husband told her to leave
first, saying he had something urgent to deal with. A few days later, it was reported that the bus her
husband took fell off the cliff(悬崖)and he was never to be found. Her husband was believed to have
died. Touched by her story, the young couple asked about her address, planning to send the
tablecloth to her after New Year. As the bus came, she left.
In the candlelight of New Year's Eve, the tablecloth looked even more beautiful. As the man's
friends left the house, they thanked the man for his arrangement and mentioned how beautiful the
house looked.注意：
