分钟。
第Ⅰ卷

第一节：单项填空（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分）
从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1.— I never expected the experiment would be ________ failure.
— Nor did I. The result came as ________ complete surprise.
A. a; a B. 不填; a
C. a; the D. 不填; the
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查冠词。句意：—我从没想到这个实验会失败。—我也没有。结果完全出乎意料。
抽象名词被赋予具体或特指含义时，前面一般应有不定冠词，本题中 failure 和 surprise 分别特
指“一次失败的实验”，“一件令人吃惊的事”，故在其前加不定冠词，选A。
【点睛】本题考查抽象名词具体化。通常分为 4 类：
1. 表示情感、情绪的词，强调具体的人或事时常将其具体化使用。如 beauty 美、美丽（不可
数名词），a beauty 美人、美丽的东西（可数名词）；
2. 表行为的抽象名词，强调其具体表现形式时，常以 a/an 加抽象名词，或 a/an+形容词+抽象
名词，如 have a strong character，have a bright future；
3. 表示具体动作意义的抽象名词，加 a/an 与某些动词（have, take, make, give）等词连用时，
表示某一次短暂的动作。如 have a swim/rest/look/trip/discussion/smoke/wash/sleep；
4. 接同源宾语的短语，通常名词表示具体化意义。如 die a heroic death，live/lead a
happy/simple/hard/poor/bitter life，dream a strange dream 等。
本题中 failure 和 surprise 分别特指“一次失败的实验”，“一件令人吃惊的事”，故在其前加不
定冠词，选 A。
2.We won’t start the work until all the preparations __________.A. are being made B. will be made
C. have been made D. had been made
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态辨析。句意：我们得等到所有的准备工作都做好了才能开始工作。are
being 是现在进行时的被动形式；will be made 是一般将来时的被动形式；have been made 是现
在完成时的被动形式，用于强调动作产生的影响；had been made 是过去完成时的被动形式 。
本题是主将从现的用法。主句是将来时时，从句用现在时或相当于现在的时态；现在完成时
强调过去对现在的影响或动作从过去一直持续到现在。故选 C。
【点睛】通常说来, 在时间状语从句中使用一般现在时代替将来时，前面的主句中使用将来时。
在高中英语中也使用现在完成时代替将来时，表示到将来某个时间已经完成的事情。主句是
We won’t start，从句用一般现在时或者现在完成时，故选 C。
3.—Excuse me, sir. Is there a bank nearby?
—________. The nearest one is at least fifty minutes' walk from here.
A. I’m not sure B. That depends

【解析】
【详解】考查交际用语。句意：—打扰一下，先生。请问附近有银行吗? —恐怕没有。最近的
一家离这儿至少有五十分钟的步行路程。A. I’m not sure 我不确定；B. That depends 要看情况而
定；C. That’s right 那是对的；D. I’m afraid not 恐怕不是/没有。根据句意可知，该句的意思是“我
恐怕附近没有银行”，故选D。

A. brought up B. lit up C. put up D. took up

A. brought up 养育；B. lit up 露出喜色；C. put up 张贴；D. took up 占据。根据“when the boss told
him what a nice job he had done.”可知此处表示“露出喜色”，故B 项正确。5.She asked me ________ I had returned the books to the library, and I admitted that I hadn’t.
A. when B. where
C. whether D. what
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：他问我是否已经把书还给图书馆了，我承认我还没有还。A. when
什么时候；B. where 在哪里；C. whether 是否；D. what 什么。根据句意，故选 C。

SHORTLIST OF LONDON'S BEST
If you have limited visiting time we recommend you follow this list.
1) Houses of Parliament. The guided tours of the Houses of Parliament are excellent, in any
language you want, and get you to places that even normal Brits can't. However, when Parliament is
sitting, they are not running, but you can still get in.
2) Hampton Court. We rate this as one of the best attractions in Europe. A whole succession of
kings and queens have added to Henry VIII’s original palace. There lie a fantastic park (by
Capability Brown) and gardens (including the famous maze), and Tudor kitchens and one of the last
remaining Real Tennis courts. Lots of free (once you've paid the admission) guided tours, some in
costume, by people who know and love the place. It's also surrounded by a series of parks and
makes a great destination for a bike trip — train out (30 minutes from Waterloo), bike back (12
miles) along the river. We prefer it to the Tower of London — you'll probably want to visit both, it
knocks the spots off Buckingham Palace.
3) The River. Walk along the South Bank from Tower Bridge to Lambeth. The best of London
is spread out for you: The Tower of London & Tower Bridge, The Houses of Parliament, Lambeth
Palace (residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury), Shakespeare's Globe theatre, Both Tate
Galleries, St Paul's Cathedral, The South Bank Centre, The Temple, The London Eye, Westminster
Abbey, Somerset House. (A 2 hour walk if you don't stop for long). Or you can take a boat out to
Greenwich, the Thames Barrier or the Dome.
4) Westminster Abbey. Where they crown Kings. An unreasonable admission charge (should
really be free or voluntary donation), but a masterpiece anyway. If you get bored of waiting in the
queue, or packed down by the crowds, hurry yourself off to the City where there's more square space of historic church, and empty.
5) The Theatre. It'd be a crime to visit London and not take in a show. Londoners have been
passionate about theatre for centuries. Not only is the quality high, but the price is low - one third the
price of Broadway. Classical Music and Opera is of a similarly high standard and low price.
36. A foreign student studying the history of British Royal Family would most probably prefer the
tour of _______.
A. Westminster Abbey
B. Tower Bridge
C. Somerset House
D. Hampton Court
37. The underlined statement “when Parliament is sitting” in paragraph 2 refers to the time _______.
A. when the Parliament is not officially in session.
B. when the members of Parliament are debating over a hot issue.
C. when the Parliament is staying idle for repairs.
D. when the members of Parliament are taking a break after some exercise
38. Where do you think one can probably meet with a man as a guide wearing the eighteenth century
royal clothing?
A. In Lambeth Palace.
B. In Buckingham Palace.
C. In Hampton Court.
D. St Paul’s Cathedral.
39. Part of the reasons why Londoners are fond of theatre is that they enjoy _______.
A. the criminal drama plots
B. the inexpensive admission
C. the Classical Music and Opera
D. the scene of Shakespeare’s Globe theatre
【答案】36. D 37. A 38. C 39. B
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇应用文，介绍了伦敦最好的几个旅游景点。【36 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A whole succession of kings and queens have added to Henry VIII’s
original palace.”可知，除了亨利八世还有英国历史上的很多国王和王后都曾在汉普顿宫居住过，
因此，研究英国王室历史的外国学生很可能更喜欢参观汉普顿宫，故 D 项正确。
【37 题详解】
词义猜测题。画线句前说议会大厦的导游非常棒，用任何你想要的语言，带你去一些连普通
英国人都做不到的地方，再根据画线句后的“they are not running, but you can still get in.”可知，
他们并没有参会，但是仍然可以带你进入议会，由此可知，画线句指的是“当议会正在开的
时候”，故A 项正确。
【38 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A whole succession of kings and queens have added to Henry
VIII’s original palace.”可知，亨利八世还有英国历史上的很多国王和王后都曾在汉普顿宫居住
过，在那里你可以了解到英国的王室史；再根据“Lots of free (once you've paid the admission)
guided tours, some in costume,”可知，一旦你付了门票，很多免费的导游陪同你参观，有些还
穿着王室的服装，由此可知，在汉普顿宫，你可能会见到一个穿着十八世纪王室服装的导游，
故 C 项正确。
【39 题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Londoners have been passionate about theatre for centuries. Not
only is the quality high, but the price is low”可知，几个世纪以来，伦敦人一直热衷于戏剧，戏剧
不仅质量高，而且价格低，由此可知，伦敦人喜欢戏剧的部分原因是票价低，故 B 项正确。
【点睛】本篇第 2 题难度较大，对画线部分上下文的理解是关键，根据画线句前的“The guided
tours of the Houses of Parliament are excellent, in any language you want, and get you to places that
even normal Brits can't.”可知，议会大厦的导游非常棒，用任何你想要的语言，带你去一些连
普通英国人都做不到的地方，再根据画线句后的“they are not running, but you can still get in.”
可知，他们并没有参会，但是仍然可以带你进入议会，由此可知，画线句指的是“当议会正
在开的时候”，故A 项正确。
B
With an eye for style and a heart for the environment, 18-year-old Alexis Giger launched a
do-it-yourself blog aimed at “reducing your environmental impact fashionably”.
The idea was sparked (激发) by the ecology unit in her biology class at Charlotte Latin School last year, she said, which taught her about issues like deforestation and habitat destruction. “I started
thinking about what I could do to stop the wastefulness in my immediate community,” the fashion
lover said.
The blog, ecouturieracg.wordpress.com, aims to make reusing thrift store (旧货店) finds or last
season’s pieces easy and fashionable while cutting down on the resources consumed by garment
production, Alexis said. Through online research, she discovered that a simple cotton T-shirt takes
more than 700 gallons of water to make.
“It made me realize that the fashion industry consumes huge amounts of natural resources as it
relies on producing garments quickly and in large supply – many of the garments are only intended to
be worn three or four times,” she said.
Alexis had a number of tools to help her get started. Her mom, Kimberly, taught her to sew when
she was 5. Her grandmother taught her to crochet (钩边) around the same time. Alexis said she also
gained technical knowledge and inspiration from her part-time job at a clothing company that creates
theater wardrobes for schools and drama productions.
Prior to the blog launch, she spent several months illustrating “recycling” projects by creating
photo tutorials. Though Ecouturier hasn’t been online long, she’s been getting positive feedback. “I’ve
had people come up to me in the hall and say, ‘Hey, I saw your blog. I’m working on one of the
projects right now,’” Alexis said.
She said she hasn’t bought a brand-new piece of clothing since last July, and her thrift store

At one time，computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of
documents because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written，stored
and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.
It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of the use of Internet-connected
computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is
introduced, the printers start working overtime. "I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more
trees to be cut down. "says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.
Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from
the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several
Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a
computer. Earlier this week, Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical
record or just an on-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the
more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.
Does all this mean environmental concerns have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people
have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. "I guess people
believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling, "said Kelly Quirke, director of the
Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove
helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also
found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.
45 Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Documents can be stored in computers electronically.
B. Computers effectively cut down the use of paper.
C. A large number of e-mails need to be printed in reality.
D. Printers are in a greater demand owing to the Internet.
46. The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to _______________.
A. the rapid development of small businesses
B. the opening up of new markets
C. the printing of high quality copies
D. the increased use of the Internet
47. Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because___________ .
A. they see a growing market for printers
B. printers in many offices are working overtime
C. small companies need more hard copies
D. people are concerned about the environment
48. Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is_____________
A. to encourage printing more quality documents
B. to develop new printers using recycled paper
C. to find new materials for making paper
D. to plant more fast growing trees
49. What would be the best title for the text?A. Computers and Printers
B. E-mail and the Business World
C. Internet Revolution and Environment
D. Modern Technology and New Markets

How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor
is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and
it lets you track your performance on your phone.
The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show
in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to
an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.
The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides
of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having
a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval,
the French inventor.
The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone so
developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could
score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but
also fun,” Several says.
Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from
work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval
would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told
him how well his children brushed.
The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing
on features. The U.S. is the first target market. Serval says that one day, it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with
a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your
teeth while you brush.
50. Which is one of the feature of the Kolibree toothbrush?
A. It can sense how users brush their teeth.
B. It can track users’school performance.
C. It can detect users’fear of seeing a dentist.
D. It can help users find their phones.
51. What can we learn from Serval’s words in Paragraph 3?
A. You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.
B. You should see your dentist on a day-to –day basis.
C. You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.
D. You’d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.
52. Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun?
A. It can be used to update mobile phones.
B. It can be used to play mobile phone games
C. It can send messages to other users
D. It can talk to its developers.
53. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. How Serval found out his kids lied to him.
B. Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary.
C. How Serval taught his kids to brush their teeth.
D. What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush
54. What can we infer about Serval’s children?
A. They were unwilling to brush their teeth
B. They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.
C. They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.
D. They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.
55. What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree?
A. The brush handle will be removed.B. A mobile phone will be built into it.
C. It will be used to fill holes in teeth
D. It will be able to check users’ teeth
【答案】50. A 51. C 52. B 53. D 54. A 55. D

I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational
consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went
to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in
public schools.
My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express
myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土).
Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language. I could still be smart and
well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along.
I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon
noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I
found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and
do it all the time, you will get better at it.
Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I
practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was
literate.
Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got
to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown,
hard, but interesting.

【答案】Dear Tom,
Thank you very much for your attention to the epidemic situation in China. It was reported that
COVID-19 was found in a live animal market in Wuhan. Then the disease was spread around.
Aimed to prevent the virus from sweeping through China, our government first took immediate
measures to seal off the city and restrict the public transport. Secondly, health care staff in other
provinces were sent to support Wuhan, with lots of donation. Thirdly, the Spring Festival vacation
has been extended and residents are requested to stay at home. Thankfully, with the joint effort, the
present situation is not only under control but also is changing for the better.
As for personal preventive measures, we are advised to stay at home and wear protective face
masks if having to go out. What’s more, keeping the windows open to let the fresh air in and taking
regular exercise to improve our immune system are also good ideas.
Ultimately, I am convinced that COVID-19 will be eliminated soon. And wish everything goes
well with you.
Yours,
Li Jin
