【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在英国的学习生活。
【1 题详解】
考查时态和语态。分析句子可知，此处是谓语动词，由下文的 was 判断为一般过去时，又主
语 we 和 tell 之间是被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是复数，故填 were told。
【2 题详解】
考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处是非限制性定语从句的关系词，先行词是前面的整
个句子，它在从句中充当主语，故用关系代词 which，故填 which。
【3 题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：我发现家庭作业不多，但是对我来说很有挑战。根据句意可知，上下
文是转折关系，故填 but。
【点睛】第 2 小题考查定语从句关系词。确定定语从句关系词一般分为三步：找出先行词；
分析先行词在从句中充当什么成分；考虑特殊情况。以本题为例：找出先行词：our class there were 28 students
分析先行词在从句中充当什么成分：先行词在从句___2___ is about the average size for British
schools.中充当主语，应用关系代词
考虑特殊情况：非限制性定语从句中不能使用 that
故填 which

【4 题详解】
考查固定结构。分析句子可知，此处考查“特殊疑问词 + to do”的结构，该结构作为about 的
宾语，故填 to develop。
【5 题详解】
考查代词。此处考查固定句型 it is + n + to do sth.“做某事是……”，其中it 是形式主语，不定
式是真正的主语，故填 it。
【6 题详解】
考查名词的数。根据 these 判断此处用名词复数形式，故填 factories。
【7 题详解】考查形容词比较级。根据句意“事实上，许多人愿意为有利于环境的东西支付稍高的价格。”
和 a little 判断此处用 high 的比较级修饰名词 price，故填 higher。
【点睛】第 1 小题考查“特殊疑问词 + to do”
按所作的句子成分来说，该结构在句子中一般可以作主语，宾语和表语，例如
How to save the child is the most important to us. (作主语)
I don't know what to do next.（作宾语）
The problem is when to start.(作表语)；
“疑问词+动词不定式”结构可以改写成由该疑问词引导的从句，从句所作的句子成分不变。

现在完成时一般指过去的动作对现在造成的影响，或动作从过去持续到现在。其结构为
have/has done，常见的时间标志词有 already/ yet/ since/ for/ by the end of/ by the time/ so far/ up

Facts about novel corona virus: Prevention and control
l Keep distance with people when talking
The novel corona virus can be transmitted via droplets and fly 1 to 2 meters in the air before
falling to the ground. Droplets can be transmitted far longer when sneezing and coughing than
speaking, so apart from keeping 1 to 2 meters of distance, also remember to wear a mask when you
are close to someone else.
l Washing hands can reduce risk of getting infectedPlease wash your hands promptly and properly after touching elevator buttons or using cash. Do
not touch your nose or mouth or rub your eyes before washing your hands. Do not use smart phones
while eating.
l Receiving delivered packages at home not dangerous
Though the virus might be attached to the packaging of delivered items, the possibility of
transmission through express delivery is extremely low. Before going out to take your delivery,
remember to wear a mask. After removing the packaging, please wash your hands.
l Sun exposure cannot kill the virus
The temperature of sun light cannot reach 56℃, and the ultraviolet rays in sunlight cannot reach
the intensity of ultraviolet lamps, so the virus can’t be killed by the sunlight. If you want to go out to
get some sun, please wear a mask and take other protective measures.
l Taking a hot bath or using air conditioning cannot kill the virus
Although the virus is vulnerable to heat. It can only be inactivated after exposure to a 56°C
temperature for over 30 minutes.
l Woolen fabric doesn’t retain virus longerIt is believed that the virus prefers smooth, non-porous surfaces and stays on woolen fabrics for
a shorter time. At home or before going out, it is not necessary to consider which kind of material has
less chance to absorb the virus—choosing comfortable clothes is enough.
After returning home, please wash your hands, sterilize the clothes and dry the clothes.
31. What are you suggested to do when taking delivered packages?
A. Wear a mask.
B. Take a hot bath.

to take your delivery, remember to wear a mask.可知，在外出取快递之前，一定要带上口罩。A.
Wear a mask.(戴口罩)符合以上说法，故选 A 项。【32 题详解】
细节理解题。l Sun exposure cannot kill the virus 部分下的 The temperature of sun light cannot
reach 56℃, and the ultraviolet rays in sunlight cannot reach the intensity of ultraviolet lamps, so the
virus can’t be killed by the sunlight.(阳光的温度达不到 56 摄氏度，阳光里面的紫外线也达不到紫
外线灯里面的强度，所以病毒不能被阳光杀死)可知，紫外线是可以杀死病毒的，只是阳光里
的紫外线达不到杀死病毒的强度。D. the virus cannot be killed by the ultraviolet rays(紫外线不能
杀死病毒)不符合以上说法，故选 D 项。
【33 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其标题 Facts about novel corona virus: Prevention and
control(关于新型冠状病毒的事实：预防和控制)可知，本文主要讲述新冠的防御和控制措施，
以及一些需要澄清的事实。由此推测，本文很有可能出自一篇科学杂志的文章。D. a science
magazine(科学杂志)符合以上推测，故选 D 项。

When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder, she was alone on the island. The air was cool
and bullfrogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet
appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around. ''Hello? '' she called. ''Celia? Marie? '' There was
no response.
The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it ''Forgotten
Island'' because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they
could find, and even the forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a
heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends-her, Celia, and Marie.
But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault.
''Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat. '' Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina,
but she was a hopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The
argument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did.
Lina exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.
A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The
storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current
problem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island.
The thought of it sent a chill down her back.Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia,
and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they saw
Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.
In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she
remember how fast the water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her
out. She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didn't
seem to mind becoming wet.
34. What is special about the island?
A. It is very near the ocean.
B. It is a popular place for boating.
C. It is surrounded by thick forest.
D. It has never been reached by others.
35. Why did Lina get angry？
A. Lina was left alone on the island.
B. Marie would not help row the boat.
C. Marie didn't know how to row the boat.
D. Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.
36. What caused Lina to feel scared?
A. Her shame about the unnecessary argument.
B. The first raindrop of the approaching storm.
C. The idea that no one would come to save her.
D. The drop in temperature as the sun went down.
37. What can we infer about the three girls?
A. All of them could swim well.
B. They had an adventurous spirit.
C. They lived far away from the island.
D. They quarreled with one another badly.
【答案】34. C 35. D 36. C 37. B

For years, the U.S. has experienced a shortage of registered nurses. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics projects that while the number of nurses will increase by 19 percent by 2022, demand will grow faster than supply, and that there will be over one million unfilled nursing jobs by then.
So what’s the solution? Robots.
Japan is ahead of the curve when it comes to this trend. Toyohashi University of Technology has
developed Terapio, a robotic medical cart that can make hospital rounds, deliver medications and
other items, and retrieve records. It follows a specific individual, such as a doctor or nurse, who can
use it to record and access patient data. This type of robot will likely be one of the first to be
implemented in hospitals because it has fairly minimal patient contact.
Robots capable of social engagement help with loneliness as well as cognitive functioning, but
the robot itself doesn't have to engage directly—it can serve as an intermediary for human
communication. Telepresence robots such as MantaroBot, Vgo, and Giraff can be controlled through
a computer, smartphone, or tablet, allowing family members or doctors to remotely monitor patients
or Skype them, often via a screen where the robot's ''face'' would be. If you can't get to the nursing
home to visit grandma, you can use a telepresence robot to hang out with her. A 2016 study found
that users had a ''consistently positive attitude'' about the Giraff robot's ability to enhance
communication and decrease feelings of loneliness.
A robot’s appearance affects its ability to successfully interact with humans, which is why the
RIKEN-TRI Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research decided to develop a
robotic nurse that looks a huge teddy bear. RIBA (Robot for Interactive Body Assistance), also
known as ''Robear'', can help patients into and out of wheelchairs and beds with its strong arms. On
the less cute and more scary side there is Actroid F, which is so human-like that some patients may
not know the difference. This conversational robot companion has cameras in its eyes, which allow it
to track patients and use appropriate facial expressions and body language in its interactions. During
a month-long hospital trial, researchers asked 70 patients how they felt being around the robot and
“only three or four said they didn't like having it around.”
It's important to note that robotic nurses don't decide courses of treatment or make diagnoses
(though robot doctors and surgeons may not be far off). Instead, they perform routine and laborious
tasks, freeing nurses up to attend to patients with immediate needs. This is one industry where it
seems the interaction of robots will lead to collaboration, not replacement.

In the last decade a revolution has occurred in the way that scientists think about the brain. We
now know that the decisions humans make can be traced to the firing patterns of neurons in specific
parts of the brain. These discoveries have led to the field known as neuroeconomics, which studies
the brain’s secrets to success in an economic environment that demands innovation and being able to
do things differently from competitors. A brain that can do this is an iconoclastic one. Briefly, an
iconoclast is a person who does something that others say can't be done. Neuroscientists have
suggested that iconoclastic brains are different in three ways: perception, fear response, and social
intelligence.
To understand how iconoclastic brains work, we first need to realize that the brain suffers from limited resources. It has a fixed energy budget, so it has evolved to work as efficiently as possible.
When faced with information streaming from the eyes, the brain will interpret this information in the
quickest way possible. Thus it will draw on both past experience and other source of information,
such as what other people say, to make sense of what it is seeing. The brain takes shortcuts that work
so well we are hardly aware of them. We think our perceptions of the world are real, but they are only
the products of the brain's interpretation.
Perception is central to iconoclasm. Iconoclasts see things differently to other people. Their
brains do not fall into efficiency pitfalls as much as the average person's brain. The best way to see
things differently is to bombard (轰炸) the brain with things it has never encountered before. Novelty
releases the perceptual process from the chains of past experience and forces the brain to make new
judgments. Successful iconoclasts have an extraordinary willingness to embrace what is fresh while
most people avoid things that are different.
The problem with novelty however, is that it tends to trigger (触发) the brain's fear system.
There are many types of fear, but the two that prevent iconoclastic thinking are fear of
uncertainty and fear of public ridicule. The fear of public speaking troubles one-third of the
population. It is simply a common feature of human nature, one which iconoclasts do not let stop
their reactions.
Finally, to be successful iconoclasts, individuals must sell their ideas to other people. This is
where social intelligence comes in. Social intelligence is the ability to understand and manage people
in a business setting. Neuroscience has revealed which brain parts are responsible for functions like
empathy, fairness, and social identity. These brain regions play key roles in whether people convince
others of their ideas.
Iconoclasts supply creativity and innovation not easily accomplished by others, creating new
opportunities in every area from art to technology to business. It is crucial for success in any field to
understand how the iconoclastic mind works.
42. Neuroeconomics is a field of study which aims to _______.
A. understand how decisions are made in the brain
B. cause a change in how scientists understand the brain
C. trace the firing patterns of neurons in different parts of the brain
D. understand how the brain is linked to achievement in an economic environment.43. According to the author, an iconoclastic thinker _______.
A. has more opportunities than the average person
B. B. relies on previous events to make smart decisions
C. has a brain that functions differently to other people
D. centralizes perceptual thinking in one part of the brain
44. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 means the iconoclasts' brains _______.
A. work more efficiently than the average person's brain
B. interpret information more accurately than the average person's brain
C. do not have a fixed energy budget as the average person's brain
D. D. do not take perceptual shortcuts as much as the average person's brain
45. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. One-third of the population are too shy to do public speaking.
B. Exposure to different events forces the brain to think differently.
C. If you think in an iconoclastic way, you can easily overcome fear.
D. Social intelligence is more a matter of personality than brain function.

词义猜测题。根据划线部分后面的句子 The best way to see things differently is to bombard (轰炸)
the brain with things it has never encountered before. Novelty releases the perceptual process from the
chains of past experience and forces the brain to make new judgments.Successful iconoclasts
have an extraordinary willingness to embrace what is fresh while most people avoid
things that are different.可知，用不同方式看待事物的最好方法是用大脑从前没有遇到过
的东西来轰炸它。新颖将感知过程从过去的经验中释放出来，迫使大脑做出新的判断。，反传

的意思是“反传统者的大脑运转比普通人的大脑高效”。 A. work more efficiently than the average
person’s brain(运转比普通人的大脑高效)符合以上说法，故选 A 项。
【45 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段 There are many types of fear, but the two that prevent iconoclastic

惧。C. If you think in an iconoclastic way, you can easily overcome fear.(如果你用反传统方式思维，
你可以很容易地克服恐惧)符合以上推测，故选 C 项。

Cool Butterfly Effect: Insect Equipment Could Inspire Heat-Radiating Tech
Devising better cooling materials has become a pressing issue as the climate warms, and some
scientists are turning to nature for ideas. Small creatures with low body mass, such as insects, have to
deal with the fact that they warm up much faster than large mammals. When butterflies land on tree branches in the sun, for example, their relatively large wings can overheat within seconds.
___46___ Researchers have now uncovered these colorful insects' built-in cooling mechanisms.
Heat is generated by the vibration of molecules. The more molecules a material can expose on
its surface, the more heat it can release in a process called radiative cooling. Those made of folded
layers shaped like waves, for example, cool off much faster than solid objects because they have
more exposed surface area. ___47___ The wings themselves are complex systems that contain both
living and nonliving structures, covered by various types of scales made of chitin—a rigid substance
that is also found in some fungi(真菌). The researchers found that the scales covering these structures
have different shapes that radiate heat in different ways. ___48___
The scientists' work is ''remarkable'', says Aaswath Raman, a professor at the University of
California, Los Angeles. ''___49___ Butterfly wings are extremely light, and the microstructures
involved are extremely small and thin. So this discovery can inspire ways of getting rid of heat in
very lightweight systems. ''
___50___ It might work in a variety of colors. Many conventional buildings tend to be white
because that it does not absorb heat. But painting too many things white does not look pleasing, says
Qiaoqiang Gan, a photonics scientist. ''We still need a colorful world, '' Gan says, noting how vivid
butterflies are in nature. ''Butterfly wings give us an example that colorful structures can also result in
cooling. ''
A. So they have evolved sophisticated ways to cool themselves.
B. We can make these microstructures into our own artificial processes.
C. It turns out that parts of butterflies' wings exploit a similar principle.
D. To decipher how these complex systems work, the team studied several types of butterflies
E. Such structures release warmth very efficiently, protecting the organs from overheating.
F. Along with its light weight, a butterfly-inspired cooling material might have another advantage.
G. Although far from a commercial application, such resulting material could eventually be used for
purposes such as painting buildings.
