第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分 40 分)
第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 30 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和 D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将
该项涂黑。
A
It is often said that "a picture is worth a thousand words.” That is certainly true of the images
of brief moments nature submitted by international ecologists and students for the British
Ecological Society’s (BES) annual photography competition. Here are a few of 2019's winning
entries.
Red Night" by Roberto Garcia Roa
“ Red Night," a photograph of a snake curling(蜷缩) around a tree was declared this year's
"Overall Winner.” Taken by Roberto Garcia Roa in Madagascar, the image captures both the
beauty of the animal and its vulnerability (脆弱) to human threats like poaching.(偷猎) and fires. It
vividly reflects the conditions that these snakes are suffering.
“ Flames in Flumes(水沟)” by Nilanjan Chatterjee
Nilanjan Chatterjee's picture of a water redstart, waiting to catch a waterborne insect near a
small waterfall, won the judge’s approval for the best overall student submission. Entitled" Flames
in Flumes,” it was the photographer’s attempts to highlight the struggle the river birds, which
capture their prey from fast-moving currents, are likely to face from to slowdown in water flow
due to planned dams in rivers across India.
“The Rhino's Annual Haircut” by Molly Penny
The ongoing demand for rhino horns (犀牛角) has reduced the population of the magnificent
animals to just 30,000 specimens globally. Ecologists in South Africa have to saw off the animals'
horns, which regrow annually. Cruel as it seems, "The Rhinos Annual Haircut,” reduces the risk of
the animals being brutally murdered.
" A Side of Fries" by Nigel Taylor
“ A Side of Fries”---an image of a long-tailed monkey
at Batu Caves, Malaysia, holding a box of McDonald's fries---by Nigel Taylor is just one
example of how careless human behavior is endangered animals in the wild.
21. What message do the four photos want to convey to viewers?
A. The nature is very attractive. B. Wild animals can be lovely.
C. Humans must conserve animals. D. Pictures speak louder than words.
22. The dams in rivers across India are likely to make the water redstart________.
A. go hungry B. get lost C. get caught D. settle down
23. Why do ecologists in South Africa saw off rhino horns?
A. To sell rhino horns. B. To save rhinos.
C. To make horns regrow. D. To fetch high prices.
B
It's 4 a. m. on Monday when my colleague, Yi Bingkun, and I finished the night shift. It's the
50th hour since our medical team arrived in Wuhan to help fight against the novel corona virus
( 新 型 冠 状 病 毒 ).The situation here is far more grievous than what we imagined, with more
suspected cases and an acute shortage of medical staff. We are here to bring them hope, but it
seems that we assume more responsibilities.
The ward was almost overloaded during our first night shift and we continued to receive
more patients. My colleague and I plunged into work without delay after wearing protective suits.
However, an emergency occurred when a patient went into sudden cardiac arrest when we
had just changed shifts. Yi Bingkun rushed to give chest compressions to the patient to make his
heart beat again and I called a doctor for help.
Though all rescue measures failed, the patient's family, however, sent their gratitude to us.
Their every single: "Thank you” made me feel warm and that the efforts we had made were
worthwhile. But Kun brought me more warmth. I once asked him whether he felt afraid about the
possibility of becoming infected when saving the patient. He told me that"Yes, I was really scared
at the time because I do have my family and my kid. But I was more afraid that the life might
disappear in front of me.” I really admire his courage. Our night shift should have been finished at
midnight, but it ended at 3 a. m. that night. We found our clothes were wet after we took off
protective suits. What is impressive is that my colleagues messaged us, asking why Kun and I
didn't come back with the clock pointing to 1 a. m., 2 a. m. or even 3 a. m. They urged us to let
them know we were okay as soon as we came back.
The weather is really cold but we feel warm from the bottoms of our hearts. Come on, all my
colleagues! Come on, Wuhan! Come on, China!
24. When did the medical team arrive In Wuhan?
A. On Saturday. B. On Sunday.
C. On Monday. D. On Tuesday.
25.What does the underlined word"grievous"mean in the first paragraph?
A. Puzzling. B. Positive. C. Satisfactory. D. severe.
26. What can we infer about the patient?
A. He soon recovered from the illness. B. He finally died of serious illness.
C.He was rushed to another hospital. D. He was infected by a wild animal.
27. In the eyes of the writer, Yi Bingkun is________.
A. Adventurous B. lucky C. brave D. careless
C
The fire of creativity doesn’t necessarily burn out after youth.“Many people believe that the
creativity is exclusively( 专 有 地 ) associated with youth, but it really depends on what kind of
creativity you’re talking about, ” says the lead study author, Bruce Weinberg of Ohio State
University.
According to the study, there are two types of innovators ( 创 新 者 ): conceptual and
experimental. Weinberg and fellow researcher David Galenson think that those who tend to do
their best work in their mid---20s are conceptual innovators, while those who peak in their 50s are
experimental innovators.
Weinberg and Galenson studied the works of 31 Nobel Prize winners of economics, placing
the economists on a range of most conceptual to most experimental. The age at which an
economist contributed the most well -regarded to the field was taken into account, and the age at
which the work entered the economic field helped to classify the economist's creative peak (顶峰).
Economists with a conceptual approach peaked in their 20s, while those who took the
experimental approach peaked in their late 50s. Most of the winners made their great discoveries
after at east 25 years of hard work.
The researchers correlated(与……相关联) their findings in economic achievements with
those of scientific achievements. For example, they mention Albert Einstein as a conceptual
innovator, who put forward the famous Special Theory of Relativity at the age of 26. They suggest
scientist Charles Darwin developed his most groundbreaking theories later on in life, which would
make him an experimental innovator. This makes sense given that the theory of evolution was
developed over many years through a long process of trial and error.
None of this is to say that either type of innovative approach is exclusive to different age
groups. It isn’t unheard of for an older person to be a conceptual innovator or for younger people
to innovate more experimentally. The research simply shows trends. Anyhow, there's always a
little room for a creative breakthrough- no matter your age
28. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Creativity Is The Best When One Is Young
B. Scientists Became Famous At Different Ages
C Experimental Innovators Peak In Late 50’s
D. Creativity Isn't Exclusive To The Young
29. From the third paragraph, we can reach a conclusion that_______.
A. most winners made creative discoveries in their late 20’s
B. award-winning economists tend to use conceptual approaches
C. the majority of 31 winners were experimental innovators
D. researchers interviewed Nobel Prize winners of economics
30. What do you know about experimental innovators?
A. They inspire their creative ideas by a sudden spark.
B. They slowly cultivate creative ideas over a long time.
C.They tend to challenge most basic scientific concepts.
D. They often make important contributions in literature.
31. What does the writer want to express in Paragraph 4?
A. The findings are also applied to scientific field.
B. Scientists make breakthroughs by trial and error.
C. Economic theories are based on scientific facts.
D. Scientific discoveries call for many years of work.
D
Sports fans around the world are struggling to reconcile with the sudden loss of American
basketball icon Kobe Bryant. The 41- year -old died on January 26, 2020, when his private
helicopter crashed into a hillside in Calabasas, California---about 30 miles away from Los Angele.
The crash also killed eight other passengers including his 13- year -old daughter Gianna. The
extremely heavy fog condition is believed to have been a major factor.
Bryant, who spent his entire 20-year- basketball career as a shooting guard for the Los
Angeles Lakers, was born in Philadelphia. The basketball star, who decided to turn professional
after graduating from high school, was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the 13th overall
pick, and then traded to the Lakers. At just 18 years old, he was the youngest player to be drafted
in NBA history. The trade proved to be lucky for the Lakers. By his third year, Bryant had moved
from being a reserve to the starting line -up. He had also firmly established himself as a star. In
2000, Bryant led the Lakers to their first NBA championship since 1988. The dream team
continued to dominate the league for the next two years.
In addition to helping the Lakers win two additional NBA titles in 2009 and 2010, Bryant
was also a member of the basketball team responsible for bringing home the Olympic Gold
medals in 2008 and 2012. By the time he retired in 2016, the 18-time NBA All-Star had played a
total of 1, 560 games and scored an astounding 33, 043 points--- a record surpassed by only three
players Kareem Abdul -Jabar (38, 387), Karl Malone(36,928), and James(33, 655) ---in the NBA’s
73-year History.
Though there are many ways to honor Bryant, the best way to pay tribute to one of the
greatest sports heroes of all time may be to follow his philosophy on life: "Life is too short to be
discouraged. You have to keep moving. Put one foot in front of the other, smile, and just keep on
rolling.”---Kobe Bryant, 2008.
32. According to the passage, what probably caused the accident?
A. Bad weather. B. Mechanical failure.
C. The operational error. D. High mountains.
33. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. Kobe Bryant turned professional player in high school.
B. Kobe Bryant was selected by the Charlotte Hornets at 16.
C. The Lakers won their first NBA championship in 2000.
D. Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA championship in 2002.
34. Which of the following is true of Kobe Bryant?
A. Kobe Bryant took part in the 2016 Olympic Games.
B. Kobe Bryant was the first NBA All-Star in history.
C. He helped the Lakers win five NBA championships.
D. Kobe Bryant was the first shooting guard in NBA history.
35. Who scored the most points in the NBA's 73- year history?
A. Lebron James. B. Karl Malone.
C. Kareem Abdul -Jabar. D. Kobe Bryant.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选
项。
All mammals have hair, commonly called fur when it's on your cat or a koala.___36_____
For example, elephant hairs are more than four times thicker than an adult human. Normally,
which the animal is larger, the hair tends to be thicker._____37______
To learn the truth, a research team tested the strength of hair from eight different mammal
species, including humans. They subjected those hairs to increasing levels of tension until the
fibers broke. _____38_____ But they were wrong. In fact, the thinner hair, actually, is stronger.
They found that adult human hair was some of the strongest, and children's hair--- the thinnest of
all ---was even more lasting.
Then, the team took a closer look at the hair with a scanning electron microscope. The
microscope views revealed specific patterns of breakage in the keratin fibers, which are composed
of a protective outer cuticle(外表皮) and an inner cortex(内皮层) that provides strength. The
microscope Images showed that the cortex of thicker hair tends to separate abruptly when broken.
____39_______
_____40_____ In those cases, the trunk tends to break at an angle. And that kind of break is a
sign of strength---it actually takes more tension to cause cutting than a clean break. The
researchers found that the cutoff point between these two types of breakage was about 200
micrometers - about two and a half times thicker than human hair.
A. But the inner cortex of thinner hair breaks off less evenly.
B. And the thickness of individual hairs varies from species to species.
C. Fewer than 1, 000 human hairs can support an entire person s weight.
D. However, is it true that the thicker the hair, the more powerful it is?
E. Compare the process to what happens when a powerful gust of wind blows a tree down.
F. The researchers assumed that thick hair, from giraffes, elephants and boars, would be stronger.
G. The hair we see may appear to be a simple structure, but in fact it is highly complex, especially
at the microscopic level below the surface of the scalp.
