students listen to other music.
W:What was the performance of the students?
M: The IQ improvements were so obvious that i could not even believe the results.
W: How long does the effect last?
M: I am not sure,but it is less than 20 minutes.
Text 10
During my last year of school, I was given the opportunity to visit an adviser and I drove her crazy with my
choices.
My first choice was a chocolate tester. I discovered that chocolate testers earn a lot of money. so I was sure I
had found my dream job. However,when I found out that chocolate testers don't just sit around eating chocolate all
day,they are also involved in the marketing and promotion of the product. I finally gave it up.
Next, I thought of becoming a football referee. I had loved football from a young age, but I couldn't play
well.Anyway.it seems that referees must be able to run 2.5 miles in less than twelve minutes and they are required
to take exams throughout their training. On top of that, only after many years of experience-and if they are lucky-do
they get the chance to referee big professional matches.So.my dream of showing Lionel Messi a red card
disappeared.
Finally, I had this perfect idea of becoming a dos stylist after I realized how much money our dog stylist was
being paid. However, once, while a young girl was styling our Spotty. I noticed he tried to bite her. As you can
imagine,that really put me of.
Ali this research made me realize I had a gift for collecting information , so I had decided to become a
journalist.

“When I was a kid, we were out and about all the time, playing with our friends, in and out of each other's
houses, sandwich in pocket, making our own 36 . Our parents 37 saw us from morning to night.
We didn't have much stuff, but we came and went as we liked." This is roughly what you will 38 if you ask
anyone over 30 about their 39 in a rich county.
Today such children will spend most of their time 40 often with parents rather than with friends, be
supervised (监管) more closely, be driven everywhere 41 walking or cycling, take part in many more 42
activities, and probably engage with a screen of some kind. All this is done with the best of 43 . Parents
intend to protect their offspring from traffic,crime and other dangers, and to give them every opportunity to 44 .
The children themselves seem fairly 45 with their lives. In a survey across the OECD, 15-year-olds
were asked to 46 their satisfaction with their life on a scale from zero to ten. The 47 score was 7.3,
with Finnish kids the 48 , at nearly 7.9, and Turkish ones the gloomiest (灰暗的),at 6.1.
49 ,that is not surprising. 50 parents these days, especially in America, invest a huge amount of
time and money in their children to ensure that they will do 51 as well as the parents themselves have done,
and preferably better. Those 52 and extra tutoring, music lessons and educational visits, together with lively
discussions at home have proved effective a securing the good 53 that will open the doors to top universities
and well-paid jobs. But working-class parents in America, for their part, 54 the means to engage in such
intensive parenting. As a result, social divisions from one generation to the next are set to 55 . A recent

n-just-a-few-decades
36.
【答案】D
【解析】考查名词辨析。根据首句句意“当我还是个孩子的时候,整日在外面,与朋友一起玩,在彼此的家
里跑进跑出”,且可以看到“playing”这个词,所以可以判断后面的名词应该是与“玩”有关的词。观察四个选
项,A 项 plans 计划;B 项 schedule 计划表;C 项 decisions 结论;D 项 entertainment 娱乐。make our own
entertainment 指自娱自乐,自己找乐子。故选 D。
37.
【答案】B
【解析】考查副词辨析。根据前文“整日在外面玩”的语境可以得出这里“父母很少能够从早到晚都看到我
们”。观察四个选项,A 项 often 经常;B 项很少;C 项愿意地;D 项不情愿地。故选 B。
38.
【答案】C
【解析】考查动词辨析。根据后文 “if you ask”中的 “ask”(问)可以推出前面引号里的内容应该是一个“答”,
所以应该是 “听到”。观察四个选项,A 项 say 说;B 项 cite 引用;C 项 hear 听见;D 项 mention 提及。
故选 C。
39.
【答案】D
【解析】考查名词辨析。根据第一段以及全文可知文章都是描述与小时候有关的事情,所以应该是问“任何
30 岁以上的人的童年”。观察四个选项,A 项 study 学习;B 项 hobby 习惯;C 项 family 家庭;D 项
childhood 童年。故选 D。
40.
【答案】C
【解析】考查副词辨析。根据“with adults rather than with siblings or friends, be supervised more closely” 可知
现在的孩子通常是和成年人而不是兄弟姐妹或朋友在一起,被更密切地监督,再结合“for several hours every
day, engage with a screen of some kind”,可知孩子们每天要花数个小时在屏幕面前。2 处线索看出,孩子们
是在室内的。故选 C。
41.
【答案】A
【解析】考查介词词组。空前出现 “be driven everywhere” 可知,如今的孩子在父母的保护下,去哪里都有
车接送,代替了空后“walking or cycling”自己走路或骑车。故选 A 。
42.
【答案】C
【解析】考查形容词辨析。根据本句话中“be supervised”,可知孩子是被密切的监督着,所以活动应该是组
织好的。故选 C。
43.
【答案】B
【解析】考查名词辨析。原词复现,后文提到“Parents intends to …”可知,父母们想要在一个在他们看来
更危险的世界里保护自己的后代免于交通事故、犯罪和其他危险,照应此处的孩子们的一切都是在最佳意
图中落实的。故选 B。
44.
【答案】D
【解析】考查动词辨析。and 连接,表明前后句逻辑一致。前半句父母想要保护他们的子女免受交通、犯
罪和其他危险;后半句,也应该是褒义的,再结合后文父母的付出就是想让孩子上好大学,找到好工作,
成为人生赢家,因此是给他们每一个成功的机会。故选 D。
45.
【答案】A
【解析】考查形容词辨析。根据后面的调查,要孩子们按他们对生活的满意度进行 0 到 10 分打分,孩子
们打的均分是 7.3,由此可以推断出,孩子们对于他们的生活还是很满意的。故选 A。
46.
【答案】A
【解析】考查动词辨析。根据后面的调查,要学生们从 0 到 10 打分,所以是对满意度进行评估或排名。
故选 A。
47.
【答案】B
【解析】考查形容词辨析。根据后面的 7.9 分和 6.1 分,可以推断出,这里的 7.3 分是均分。故选 B。
48.
【答案】D
【解析】考查形容词辨析。根据前后文理解,该段在讲 OECD(经济合作与发展组织)国家的儿童生活满
意度的情况,且平均值 7.3,芬兰最高 7.9,而土耳其最低,只有 6.1。参考形容最低值时用的是 gloomiest
最灰暗的,故选 D。
49.
【答案】A
【解析】考查连词辨析。该空连词位于段首,所以是在考察上下两段文章的内在逻辑。我们从上一段可以
看出,在 OECD(经济合作与发展组织)中芬兰作为北欧发达国家的代表,整体福利很高,国民幸福度整
体也很高,所以孩子们对于生活满意度就高,而土耳其在该组织中富裕程度相对较低,相应地,孩子们对
于生活的满意度就低。再看文章下一段,主要讲富裕国家的父母对于孩子不惜重金培养孩子。所以,两段
是一个正相关。虽然现在的孩子不像第一段中也就是他们的父母那样自由,但是对于生活的满意度依然与
家庭经济情况成正比。结果+“然而,这并不意外”+原因分析,故选 A。
50.
【答案】A
【解析】考查形容词。根据后文举例用的是“especially in America”尤其是美国以及“invest a huge amount of time
and money”投入大量的时间和金钱可以分析出是富裕的父母。故选 A。
51.
【答案】D
【解析】考查介词短语辨析。该空分析了富裕父母在孩子身上花费大量的时间和财力的目的(“to ensure”)。
从后文的两个情况来看,一个是“as well as”,一样好;另一个是“preferably better”,最好是更好,两
者分析比较。故选 D。
52.
【答案】C
【解析】考查形容词辨析。根据后文“have proved highly effective”,可知这里是褒义词,排除 A 项 dull 无
趣的和 D 项 meaningless 无意义的。剩下 B 项 limited 有限的;C 项 endless 无止境的,再根据前文父
母投入大量的时间和金钱给孩子的发展,故这里是指数量庞大的词,所以是 endless,故选 C。
53.
【答案】B
【解析】考查名词辨析。根据文章,“that will open the doors to top universities and well-paid jobs”可知是能够
打开顶尖大学的门并且获得薪酬优厚的工作,那么就应该是好的成绩。故选 B。
54.
【答案】B
【解析】考查动词辨析。根据本段前几句话可知富有的父母会花费大量的时间和金钱来培养孩子获得好成
绩进入顶尖大学并获得报酬优厚的工作,文中的 But 表示转折,所以工薪阶层的父母应该是缺少这样的方
式来教育孩子。故选 B。
55.
【答案】D
【解析】考查动词辨析。根据文章,富有父母花大量时间和金钱培养孩子,但是工薪阶级的父母缺乏这种
方式,所以导致的结果就是社会阶级的划分从一代到下一代会扩大。故选D。
【点评】本次完型填空整体中等偏易,虽然文体是说明文,但话题比较贴近生活,讲述过去和现在人群童
年的巨大变化,导致社会两极分化,孩子从出生起,就映射出家庭代际之间的博弈。相较于 2020 一模的回
忆题材记叙文,今年的话题对于学生来说会更加熟悉,文章整体理解难度和题目的难度都不大。主要考察
学生前后线索的定位和推断能力,题干和选项的词汇难度甚至低于去年的二模和今年的一模。几道易错都
是侧重对原文的前后段落的逻辑判断。
第三部分 阅读理解(共 15 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 30 分)
请阅读下列短文,从短文后各题每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项,请在答题纸上

An incinerator is a huge stove that burns trash to make heat and
electricity. The ash that's left gets buried in a landfill. Trash ash can be
poisonous, so it has to be stored carefully. But it takes up a lot less room than
just plain trash.
Compost
Food waste might go to a composter. In a compost heap (堆肥堆), bacteria
and worms break down dead plants and old food. They turn it into good, rich
oil. Some people keep compost heaps in their gardens. Big commercial
composters handle waste from restaurants and farms.
Landfills
Some trash gets buried in landfills. A landfill starts as a big hole. Trucks
dump trash. Big earth movers push it into place and crush it down. They cover
the trash with dirt to keep scavengers ( 食 腐 动 物 ) away. The bottom of a
landfill is lined with a barrier to keep bad things from leaking into the ground.
Pipes drain away liquid. When the landfill is full, it's covered with earth. It
might become a park or lawn.
56. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Recycling helps to generate energy.
B. Bacteria and worms help handle food waste.
C. The landfill is used to drive scavengers away.
D. Trash ash is carefully handled to save room.
【答案】B
【解析】考查细节理解题。这篇文章讲的是垃圾处理的四种方法。A 选项对应第一个小标题,讲到了回收
的钢铁、塑料、玻璃等会被制成新的东西而不是 generate the energy“产生能量”,故 A 错。B 选项对应小
标题 Compost 下的第二句话,完全符合文章,故正确。C 选项对应最后一个小标题 Landfill,第五句话“They
cover the trash with dirt to keep scavengers away.”用泥土覆盖垃圾再填埋以此赶走食腐动物。与 C 选项表达
的“陆地填埋是用来驱赶食腐动物的”。两句话概念变了,不相等。D 选项“垃圾灰被仔细处理是为了节约空
间”。从第二个小标题 Incinerator 最后两句话我们可知:垃圾灰有毒需要仔细分类,但是它比普通垃圾的占
地空间小很多。选项表述的目的错了,故 D 错。故选 B。
57. What's the purpose of the passage?
A. To inform us of trash treatment.
B. To appeal for trash classification.
C. To discuss solutions to trash pollution.
D. To raise awareness of the harm of trash.
【答案】A
【解析】考查写作目的题。根据表格第一段最后一句话 Different towns deal with trash in different ways.(不同
的城市有不同的处理垃圾的办法)以及表格中加粗的四个小标题,Recycling(循环),Incinerator(焚烧),
Compost(堆肥)以及 Landfills(填埋)可知,这篇文章是在向读者介绍四种垃圾处理的方法,故选 A。B
选项是说要呼吁垃圾分类,但是这篇文章明显是客观地介绍垃圾处理的方法,而选项的陈述偏主观;C 选
项是说要讨论解决垃圾污染的应对方法, trash pollution 这一点在文章中没有体现;D 选项说要让市民意
识到垃圾的危害,这个选项同 B 选项一样是主观的表述,除此之外,the harm of trash 在文章中也没有体
现。
【点评】本次 A 篇阅读考查的是应用文,主要介绍了 4 种处理垃圾的方式。文本简单,少生词,结合图
片也很容易看出四种处理方式:垃圾回收、垃圾焚烧、垃圾堆肥、垃圾填埋。题目相对而言比较容易,第 56
道题是多细节题,很容易定位到关键句;第 57 题写作目的题,通过对文章的理解以及排除很容易锁定答
案。
B
Your first big-screen experience is likely to have been Disney productions---whether we are talking about
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Frozen---that have long been considered safe, healthy choices for kids, and
pictures that parents can feel they don't need to screen in advance.
When you are a big person, a movie seen in a theatre is much larger than life; when you're a little person, it
can be like a new entry opening in the universe. Those experiences matter, and Disney knows the power---and the
profit potential---of what's in its values, which helps explain the studio's ongoing strategy of remaking its most
popular animated films, often in live-action versions.
How do you feel about director's interpretation of these movies, a combination of live-action filmmaking
techniques, virtual-reality methods and computer-generated imaginary, depends largely on how you feel about the
original. The stories, even with a gently updated scrip, are roughly the same. If you’ve seen the original, you know
how the rest of them go.
In the following years, we'll also watch other Disney's remakes such as Mulan. Any children raised by Disney
films would think that this is a great time to be alive. Right?
But judging by critics' ratings of some live-action movies, it seems that the powerful studio has been unable to
wow audiences.
So why more live actions?
The money
Let's face it: Walt Disney Pictures is all about generating more revenue. Even though it did not manage to
capture critics, it still managed to catch the audience's hearts. And that is more than enough. After all, films are not
made to entertain critics; it's all about creating an ultimate cinematic experience for casual moviegoers. And as long
as they’re entertained with new interpretations of beloved stories, why stop making live-action films?
Inclusion
When you spend your entire childhood dancing and singing along to these characters, it's beyond magical to
see them again when you' re an adult and are the same age as them. That's one of the few magical effects of movies.
Not to mention, Aladdin's South Asian cast is also a strong statement for the world. Perhaps this is also the reason
why Disney wants Mulan to have an all Asian cast. Let's hope they're not the only ones and Disney is bringing
more diverse stories to be told.
Nostalgia (怀旧)
Al of these Disney remakes are designed to fuel the nostalgia of boomers, Gen X-ers and millennials, and
many of the moviegoers who grew up with these movies, in particular, now have young kids of their own. Little
wonder the studio is seeing big dollar signs in them.
58. Disney productions are parents' first choice for kids because they _____ .
A. promote children’s overall heath
B. don't need booking in advance
C. don't need a screen to enjoy them
D. have been enjoying a good reputation
【题源】https://time.com/5624607/the-lion-king-live-action-review/
【答案】: D
【解析】考查细节理解题。定位到原文中第一段第一句,“... Disney productions…that have long been considered
safe, healthy choices for kids.”意思是说迪士尼电影对孩子们来说是安全健康的选择。这句说明长久以来迪士
尼都是享有很高的声誉,与 D 选项相符合。A 选项中的 promote 文中没有提到;B 选项中的 book in advance
(提前预定)文中没有提到,文中仅说了不需提前审查;C 选项意为不需要通过大屏幕去观看,与文意不符,
并且需要注意原文中的“don’t need to screen”中的“screen”意为“审查”。故选 D。
59. Your feeling about the live action films remade mainly relies on _____.
A. the filmmaking technology
B. the popularity of the films
C. the familiarity with the story line
D. the computer-generated imaginary
【答案】C
【解析】考查细节理解题。定位到原文中第二段第一句,“How do you feel about director’s interpretation
of these movies, … depends largely on how you feel about the original.”意思是说:你对导演对于这些电影的呈
现方式的感觉,很大的取决于你对原作的感觉。而第二句“The stories, even with a gently updated script, are
roughly the same.”进一步表示:这些故事,即便有轻微的更新,跟之前也是差不多相似的,所以 C 选项,
依靠对故事线的熟悉,是符合的。A 选项:电影制作的技术和 D 选
项:电脑生成的虚幻,文中有提到,但不是取决于此;B 选项:电影
的流行,属无中生有。故选 C。
60. In the author's opinion, what could be the main reason for Disney's more
live actions?
A. It's trying its best to satisfy both critics and audience.
B. It's sparing no efforts to earn as much revenue as possible.
C. It's seeking and adding global elements to make diverse stories.
D. It's bringing back those sweet memories to its loyal aging fans.
【答案】B
【解析】考查细节理解题。选项 A 定位在倒数第三段的第一行 “Even though it did not manage to capture
critics”,尽管他并没有成功俘获那些批评的人。所以选项 A 说“他让观众和批评的人都满意”是错误的。选
项 B 定位在倒数第三段第一行 “Walt Disney Pictures is all about generating more revenue” 沃尔特·迪斯尼影
业(Walt Disney Pictures)旨在创造更多收入。B 选项符合,并且最主要原因肯定是跟经济有关,故答案为
B。C 选项定位在倒数第二段倒数第二行 “Perhaps this is also the reason why ….. cast. Let’s hope they’re not
the only ones and Disney is bringing more diverse stories to be told.”可知迪斯尼仅仅包含亚洲故事,全世界的故
事并没有包含在内,所以 C 选项错误。D 选项定位在最后一段,选项为“给忠实观众带来美好的回忆”,但
是原文最后一段句意为“迪士尼营销者旨在激起以前观众的怀旧之情”并没有强调给他们带来美好回忆。故 D
选项错误。故选 B。
【点评】:本次 B 篇属于说明文,主要阐述了迪士尼制作影片的特点,并说明其制作电影的主要目的。三
道均为细节题,答案相关语句都能够较容易地在文章中定位到,从而准确快速地找出正确答案,或 用排除
法也可以轻易选出。B 篇整体难度较小,与今年一模和去年高考 B 篇难度相当。
C
Pinocchio may be just a children's fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently
investigated the so-called “Pinocchio effect" and found that our noses don't grow when we tell a lie, but actually
shrink a bit.
Dr Emilio Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography to tell if people
were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tips
of their noses dropped up to 1.2C, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5C. Scientists also
found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is
undetected by the human eye.
"One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead," Dr. Gómez Milán explained the
findings. “At the same time we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose."
For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being scanned by
thermal imaging technology. One of these tasks involved calling a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents, partner or a
friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to devise the lie themselves during the call, and the thermal
cameras picked up this “reverse Pinocchio effect" caused by the fluctuation (起伏) in temperature in the nose and
forehead.
Interestingly, the thermal lie detector picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test subjects, which
is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector.
“With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy and reduce the occurrence of "false positives',
something that is frequent with other methods such as the polygraph (测谎仪),”said Dr. Emilio Gómez Milán, who
added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal
imaging to achieve better results.
The thermal lie detector has been the most reliable in the world, 10% more than the popular polygraph.
61. Why does the author mention "Pinocchio" at the beginning?
A. To tell a fairy story. B. To warn us not to lie.
C. To introduce a research. D. To inspire us to doubt old beliefs.
【题源】http://www.dailynews.lk/2018/11/21/tc/169008/reverse-pinocchio
【答案】C
【解析】考查推理判断题。文章通过匹诺曹的例子引出文章的主要内容,研究发现:撒谎并不是使鼻子变
长,而是使鼻子变小。C 介绍一个研究,正确。文中未具体讲述这个故事,排除 A 选项;文章主旨与警告
我们不要说谎无关,属于“无中生有”,排除; B 选项;启发我们质疑旧的观点,匹诺曹本是童话故事,而
不是老旧观点,排除 D 选项。故选 C。
62. According to the research, what might happen if you tell a lie?
A. Your nose gets longer. B. Your nose becomes smaller.
C. Your temperature gets higher. D. Your temperature remains stable.
【答案】B
【解析】考查细节理解题。定位到第二段,研究人员研究的结果:Scientists also found that drop in temperature
at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink…研究人员发现鼻子温度的下降实际上能够引起鼻子轻微的收
缩。故选 B。
63. What can we learn about the research?
A. Researchers conduct the study by interviewing.
B. Researchers design different lies for participants.
C. The thermal lie detector will prove a popular one.
D. The thermal lie detector may assists law enforcement.
【答案】D
【解析】考查推理判断题。A 项里的 “by interviewing”是错的,该研究不是通过采访来进行的而是通过做实
际的实验来进行的;第四段中说“One of these tasks involved calling a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents, partner,
or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to devise the lie themselves…”,从这里只能推断出他们被
要求撒的谎是让他们自己设计的,但至于每个人的内容一不一样没有说,可能一样,也可能不一样。所以 B
项的内容是无法推断出的;文章最后一段说该测谎仪已经是最靠谱的了,超过了目前最流行的测谎仪 10%,
但是 C 项说法 popular 文中没有体现;文章倒数第二段最后一句话说“….law enforcement interviewers could
one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.”未来执法人员们可
以将这项技术与其他的测谎技术结合会得到更好的结果,所以 D 项说法符合。故选 D。
64. Which might be the best title for the passage?
A. Will lie detectors tell the truth?
B. Will lying make your nose longer?
C. Will lying make your temperature rise?
D. Will thermal imaging technology be reliable?
【答案】B
【解析】考查主旨大意题。文章开始以匹诺曹为例引出话题,即所谓的是否说谎会让鼻子变长。然后导
入至最近的研究发现,并非鼻子变长,而是鼻子会缩小。之后就研究的原理,操作方法和实验对象进行进
一步地阐述说明。最后还提到了由这一原理研发的热度测谎仪。综上,结合标题的趣味性,故选 B。
【点评】:本次 C 篇的文体是说明文,相较于去年二模 C 篇谈论“footsteps”这样抽象的话题,今年的话
题相对于学生来说更加熟悉,文章整体理解难度和题目的难度都不大。文章首先从很熟悉的匹诺曹的故事
作为引入,然后通过测试人在撒谎情况下的不同表现来介绍热成像仪测谎器的作用。本篇阅读题理解上相
较于去年二模和一模较易,前三道题都可以定位原文和推断速度得出答案,最后的主旨大意题要注意选择
标题的趣味性。
D
For people moving to Australia, Price (2001) has identified certain values which may give rise to cultural
shock. Firstly, he argues that Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that
a teacher or course tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest they
work out which one is the best in their circumstances. It also means that they are expected to take action if
something goes wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believe there is one truth. This means
that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend the reasons for that
point of view and the evidence for it.
Price also comments that Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealize the idea
of treating everyone equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first
names. This concern with equality means that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are
even ready to joke about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a consequence, some
students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study.
Australian concepts of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance and relationships are only
discussed with close friends. While people may volunteer such information, they may dislike someone actually
asking them unless the friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to ask someone
what they earn. With older people, it is also rude to ask how old they are, why they are not married or why they do
not have children. It is also impolite to ask people how much they have paid for something unless there is a very
good reason for asking.
Kohls (1996) describes cultural shock as a process of change marked by four basic stages. During the first
stage, the new arrival is excited to be in a new place, so this is often referred to as the "honeymoon" stage. Like a
tourist, they are interested in all the new sights and sounds, new smiles and tastes of their surroundings. They may
have some problems, but usually they accept them as just part of the novelty (新奇事物). At this point, it is the
similarities that stand out, and it seems to the newcomer that people everywhere and their way of life are very much
alike. This period of euphoria may last from a couple of weeks to a month, but the letdown is inevitable.
During the second stage, known as the “rejection" stage, the newcomer starts to experience difficulties due to
the differences between the new culture and the way they were accustomed to living. The initial enthusiasm turns
into annoyance, frustration, anger and depression, and these feelings may cause people to reject the new culture so
that they notice only the things that cause them trouble, which they then complain about. In addition, they may feel
homesick, bored, withdrawn during this period as well.
Fortunately, most people gradually learn to adapt to the new culture and move on to the third stage, known as
“adjustment". During this stage a transition occurs to a new optimistic attitude. As the newcomer begins to
understand more of the new culture, things make more sense and the culture seems more familiar. As a result, they
begin to develop problem-solving skills, and feelings of disorientation (迷失方向) and anxiety no longer affect
them.
In Kohls's model, in the fourth stage, newcomers undergo a process of adaptation. They have settled into the
new culture, and this results in a feeling of direction and self-confidence. They have accepted the new food, drinks,
habits and customs and may even find themselves enjoying some of the very customs that bothered them so much
previously. In addition, they realize that the new culture has good and bad things to offer and that no way is really
better than another, just different.
65. According to Paragraph 1, teachers may expect students to _____in class in Australia.
A. obey teachers' instructions
B. ask for advice when necessary
C. have a discussion with partners freely
D. explore possible solutions by themselves
【题源】https://mini-ielts.com/932/view-solution/reading/australian-culture-and-culture-shock
【答案】D
【解析】考查细节理解题。【新东方个性化高中英语】认为本题主要考查学生对相关信息的定位能力以及句
子 转换能力;题干问的是,“根据第一段,澳大利亚的老师希望学生在课堂上…?”由此,定位第一段,根
据文章第一段第二行”This means that a …”,以及第一段最后一句 “…if something goes wrong and seek out
resources and support for themselves”得知,澳大利亚老师鼓励学生遇到问题时自己寻找答案, 故选 D。
66. Which of the following might most Australians agree with?
A. Be just to all, but trust none.
B. Truth never fears investigation.
C. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
D. Share joy is double joy and sorrow half sorrow.
【答案】C
【解析】考查推理判断推断题。根据文章第四段可知,澳大利亚人相信生活应是要工作和休闲之间得到一
种平衡;从而可以得出,C 选项中的“只工作不玩耍,聪明的孩子也变傻” 与题意相符;A 选项“要对一切
人都公正,但不要对一切人都信任”在原文中并未提及;B 选项中的“事实从不怕调查”以及 D 选项中“和别人
分享快乐就会感到双倍的快乐,和别人分担痛苦就会感到一半的痛苦”偏离重点,文中并未提及。故选 C。
67. What does the underlined word "euphoria” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. Excitement. B. Confidence. C. Frustration. D. Conflict.
【答案】A
【解析】考查词义猜测题。划线词的这个段落描述的是外来者进入新的文化经历的第一个阶段,整个段落
描写的基调都是在说外来者对这个文化感到很新奇,感到很有趣。故选择 A。
68. According to Kohls, if an exchange student from China has managed to host a summer Christmas event though
he felt a bit awkward, he might be in Stage _____.
A. Four B. Three C. Two D. One
【答案】B
【解析】考查推理判断题。根据题干,可以定位到最后四段的这四个阶段。其中第一个阶段是“honeymoon
stage”,在这个阶段中,新的到来者也许会遇到很多困难和问题,但是他们对这个新环境充满了好奇和兴趣;
第二个阶段是“rejection stage”,这一阶段,人们由一开始的热情变为沮丧和抱怨,甚至开始想家;第三个阶
段是“adjustment stage”, 人们开始找到解决问题的办法,并且迷茫和焦虑不再能够影响到他们;第四个阶
段是“adaptation”,已经适应和接纳了新环境,也开始正确地认识文化碰撞。题干的意思是交换生成功举办
了一届夏季圣诞节活动,尽管有一些尴尬。说明他找到了解决这份尴尬的办法。所以是第三阶段。故选 B 。
69. In which column might this article appear?
A. Intercultural Communication. B. International Education.
C. Global Business. D. Leisure Guide.
【答案】A
【解析】考查文章出处题。根据题干“这篇文章可能出自什么专栏”,可知这道题主要考察考生对于文章主旨
的把握。题目当中 A 选项意为跨文化交际;B 选项为国际教育;C 选项为全球商务;D 选项为休闲指南。
根据文章主旨可知这篇文章主要讲解澳大利亚的相关文化,以及人们进入到一个新的文化环境当中经历的
四个时期。故选 A。
70. According to the passage, what is the right attitude towards cultural shock?
A. When in a new culture, hold on to our own.
B. When in a new culture, accept the good things.
C. When facing difference in a new culture, accept it.
D. When feeling uncomfortable in a new culture, neglect it.
【答案】C
【解析】考查推理判断题。题干问的是,“根据文章,对待文化冲击的正确态度是什么?”文中讲到 Kohl
讲文化冲击的发展分为四个阶段,分别是“蜜月”“排斥”“调整”“适应”这四个阶段。文章最后一句也说了“新
的文化包含好的东西,也包含不好的东西,没有哪种文化是比另一种文化要更好的,只是不同而已”所以,
当面对文化冲击,文章没有说要接受新的文化中好的东西或者忽视新的文化中坏的东西,而是我们要接受
新的文化中的不同。故选 C。
【点评】D 篇是一篇议论文,内容是关于文化冲击。【新东方个性化高中英语】认为本次一模 D 篇难度
低于 2020 一模 D 篇阅读,与 2019 高考试卷 D 篇难度相对较低。65 是细节题,根据题干关键 词就可
以轻松定位到关键句以及关键段,适当进行信息转化并利用排除法即可得出答案。66,67, 68 是推断题,
66 需要理解选项意义进行推测,67 需要根据词汇所在段落的意思来猜测词义,68 则需要理解四个阶段具
体的内容推断题干所属阶段,据此即可得出答案。

将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。
Many of today's young people have a difficult time seeing any moral dimension to their actions. There are a
number of reasons why that's true, but none more important than a failed system of education that avoids teaching
children the traditional moral values that bind Americans together as a society and a culture. That failed approach,
called “decision-making," was introduced in schools 25 years ago. It tells children to decide for themselves what is
right and what is wrong. It replaced “character education", which didn't ask children to reinvent the moral wheel,
but encouraged them to practice habits of courage, justice and self-control.
Decision-making curriculums pose ethical dilemmas to students, leaving them with the impression that all
morality is problematic and that all questions of right and wrong are based on people's own ideas. Youngsters are
forced to question values and virtues they've never acquired in the first place. The assumption behind this method is
that students will arrive at good moral conclusions if they are given the chance. But the actual result is moral
confusion.
This kind of moral confusion is further encouraged by values- education programs that are little more than
courses in self-worth. These programs are based on the questionable assumption that a child who feels good about
himself or herself won't want to do anything wrong. But it is just as reasonable to make an opposite assumption:
namely, that a child who always believes in and accepts himself will conclude that he or she can't do anything bad.
Such naive ( 无 知 的 ) self-acceptance results mostly from the non-directive non-judgmental,
as-long-as-you-feel-comfortable-with-your-choices mentality that has reached public education for the last two and
one-half decades. Many of today's drug education, sex education and values education courses are based on the
same philosophy that helped fuel the explosion in teen drug use and sexual activity in the first place. Youngsters are
leaving school believing that matters of right and wrong are always merely problematic. If you pass a stranger on
the street and decide to murder him because you need money ---if it feels right---you go with that feeling. Clearly
murder is not taught in our schools, but such a conclusion--- just about any conclusion can be reached and justified
using the decision making method.
It is time to throw “decision-making" and non-judgmentalism” into the rubbish heap of failed policies and
return to a proved method. Character education provides a much more realistic approach to moral formation. It is
built on an understanding that we learn morality not by debating it but by practicing it.

71.【答案】hard/difficult
【解析】【原词复现】根据文章第一句话,“Many of today’s young people have a difficult time seeing any moral
dimension to their actions”可知,此句与此题题意相同,都表达了许多年轻人认为从道德层面上看待自己的行
为是很难的,根据题目“find it to”可推断出此处应填形容词,而文章中对应同义表达也恰是形容词,故填
difficult/hard。
72.【答案】traditional/conventional
【解析】【原词复现】根据文章第一段第二句话 “There are a number of reasons why that’s true, but none more
important than a failed system of education that avoids teaching students the traditional moral values that bind
Americans together as a society and culture”,可知本句是在说年轻人有这样的想法的原因,正好对应表格中的
reason, 定位正确;而本句的句意是这是有很多原因的,但最重要的是一个失败的教育系统,它没能教给学
生一个能把美国人作为一个社会和文化联系在一起的传统道德价值观。接下来本段的第三句就解释了“the
failed system”是“decision-making”,正对应到题干中的“decision-making approach”。题目问的是决定方法
没有教会孩子们道德, 故应缺少形容词,比较原文和题干的差别,此处“does not” 对应原文中的
“avoids”,故填 traditional/conventional。
73.【答案】While/although/Though
【解析】【总结概括】根据文章第二段倒数二句 “The assumption behind this method is that…But the actual
result is…”可知,作者对 decision-making curriculums 的看法和该课程的设计初衷是相违背的, 这里有转折
关系。另外,题干中 themselves 之后有一个独立分句“they make students…”,却没有使用连词或者分号,
说明整个句子不是并列句,这里须填一个连词来使句子保持语法上的正确。且本题置于句首,故填
While/Though/Although。
74.【答案】reach/draw
【解析】【同义转换】根据文章第二段倒数第二句“students will arrive at good moral conclusions if they are given
the chance”可知,这里需要选一个词来替换原文中的“arrive at”,表示“得出(结论)”,故填 reach/draw。
75. 【答案】morally/ethically
【解析】【词性转换】根据文章第二段最后一句话,“But the actual result is moral confusion”可知,这里是对
moral 进行词性转换,转换成副词修饰 confused,故填 morally/ethically。
76. 【答案】absence/lack
【解析】【总结概括】根据文章第二段第二行和第三行 “that all questions of right and wrong are based on
people’s own ideas.”可知,人们对 right and wrong 的判断是建立在个人观点之上的。文章之后的部分也用到
了 non-directive, non-judgemental 等词来进一步描述人们对于好坏标准的缺失,故填 absence/lack。
77. 【答案】worsen/deepen/encourage/further
【解析】【同义替换】根据第三段第一句“this kind of moral confusion is further encouraged by values-education
programs...self-worth”表明价值观教育加剧了学生的道德迷惑。此处进行句意之间的同义替换。故填
worsen/deepen/encourage/further。
78.【答案】fails
【解析】【总结概括】根据第四段第二句“Many of today’s drug education, sex education and values-education
courses are based on the same philosophy that helped fuel the explosion in teen drug use and sexual activity in the
first place”和第三句“Youngsters are leaving school believing that matters of right and wrong are always merely
problematic”表明公众教育未能正确引领孩子。未能做成某事 fail to do sth.为固定搭配。又因为题干中主语
为单数,故填 fails。
79. 【答案】social

in 2019, gains popularity among people. The nine and a half
minute short focuses on Emily, an old lady with Alzheimer,
who finds herself losing any connection to the world. After
her daughter's tender care, she explores part of her memories
and relives different moments from her life. One afternoon,
when she was having afternoon tea with biscuits, she called
up her carefree childhood. When she saw the picture frame,
she remembered her romantic dating, the pleasure of raising
her daughter and her daughter's name- Kate. At last, she
recognized her daughter and they tightly hugged each other.
The warm painting style and Emily's slowly recollecting

Family love is the most precious gift and supports us through thick and thin. It not only means parents’
unconditional love for their children but also children’s feedback. It is the basic power of life that we couldn’t live
without. Furthermore, each one of us should be grateful for the family love we receive and learn to express our
concern and care to our family members through words or deeds to strengthen the valuable bond between us.
Family love is by no means empty talk.
Therefore, I always communicate with my parents and respect their viewpoints about my choices in life.
Meanwhile, I will try to understand them better and always be there whenever they need me.
In a word, family love is to be cherished, strengthened and repaid. (134 words)
