B An elephant, who accidentally fell into a dry, 25-foot deep well in Northeast India, lived to see another day thanks to the quick-thinking rescuers' scientific knowledge. The chain of events unfolded early in the morning on Tuesday, January 28, 2020, when citizens of Amliya toli village, in the state of Jharkhand, awoke to the cries of the trapped animal and called the forest department for help. When the rescuers arrived, they instantly realized that pulling out the huge animal, which seemed to be about 30 years old, was not a practical idea. Fortunately , the forest department officials had been paying attention in their science class and were well aware of the Archimedes' principle. The physics law of buoyancy （浮力），which explains how ships stay afloat, states that when a body is partially or fully immersed in a liquid, it experiences an apparent loss in weight that is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the part of the body in the liquid. In this case, that meant filling the well with enough water to displace the elephant's weight. It took the three motorized pumps over three hours to add the hundreds of gallons needed to enable the heavy animal to float up to the surface. However, it was well worth the effort. A heart-warming video shows the villagers cheering as the animal, using the makeshift ramp （斜坡）dug by the rescue team, pulls itself out of the well and walks away to safety in the nearby forest. 24. Who first found the trapped elephant? A. Some scientists. B. Forest rescuers. C. Nearby villagers. D. The forest department officials. 25. How did the rescuers feel about pulling out the elephant? A. Impossible. B. Challenging. C. Secure. D. Realistic. 26. What does the underlined word “immersed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Broken. B. Covered. C. Stuck. D. Dampened. 27. What can be the best title for the text?A. An Elephant Trapped in the Water B. Villagers Used Water to Save Animals C. Forest Rescuers Invented a New Technique D. An Elephant Saved by the Archimedes' Principle C While jewelry made from gold can be beautiful, most people admit that wearing the heavy metal over long periods of time can get a little annoying. Now, researchers from Swiss university ETH Zurich have created a new form of lightweight gold that weighs five to ten times less than traditional 18-carat gold—which typically consists of 75 percent gold and 25 percent copper—but has the same purity. The researchers began by mixing gold with water, salt, protein fibers and other materials. They then replaced the water with alcohol and placed the mixture inside a high-pressure carbon dioxide (CO2 ) box. The reaction between the gas and alcohol transformed the golden plastic into a light material that can be heated to melt and made into whatever form was needed. "This gold has some characteristics of plastic,” says team leader Raffaele Mezzenga, professor of Food and Soft Materials at ETH Zurich. In addition to being lighter, the "plastic” gold has other advantages over traditional forms. It can be melted into shape at about 105 degrees Celsius, much lower than the 1,064 degrees Celsius required to melt pure 24-carat gold. The metal's firmness can be easily adjusted by changing the components at the beginning of the process. It is also much easier to vary the color. "As a general rule, our approach lets us create almost any kind of gold we choose, in line with the desired properties, says Mezzenga. The researchers, who published their study in the journal Advanced Functional Materials on January 10, 2020, believe the new lightweight gold will be able to replace the metallic version in most traditional applications, including jewelry and watches. However, given that most buyers associate high-quality gold with weight, that may take some time. But the material will undoubtedly be beneficial for use inside electronic devices, chemical catalysts (催化剂),and even radiation shielding. 28. Why do many people find the traditional gold annoying? A. It costs too much。 B. Its purity is too low. C。. It feels too heavy to wear long。. D. Its beauty lasts a short time, 29. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The functions of the "plastic" gold. B. The components of the "plastic” gold. C. The characteristics of the "plastic” gold. D. The production process of the "plastic" gold. 30. Which is the "plastic" gold's advantage over the traditional gold? A. It is easier to process. B. It is more widely used. C. It has a lower temperature.D. It is more convenient to get. 31. Where is this text most likely from? A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A novel. D. A magazine. D In 1926, US automaker Henry Ford shortened its employees' workweek from six eight-hour days to five, with no pay cuts. It's something workers and labor unions had been calling for. Ford wasn't responding to worker demands； he was being a businessman. He expected increased productivity and knew workers with more time and money would buy and use the products they were making. It was a way of encouraging consumerism and productivity to increase profits, and it succeeded. Since standardization of the 40-hour workweek in the mid-20th century, everything has changed but the hours. If anything, many people are working even longer hours, especially in North America. This has a severe influence on human health and well-being, as well as the environment. Until the Second World War, it was common for one person in a family, usually the oldest male, to work full-time. Now, women make up 42 percent of the world's full-time workforce. Technology has made a lot of work unnecessary, with computers and robots doing many tasks previously performed by humans. Well into the 21st century, we continue to work the same long hours as 20th century laborers, using up ever more of Earth's supply to produce more goods that we must keep working to buy, use and replace in a seemingly endless cycle of hard work and consumption. It's time to pause and consider better ways to live like shifting from fossil-fueled lifestyles with which our consumer-based workweeks are connected. The UK think tank, New Economics （经济学）Foundation, argues that a standard 21-hour workweek would address a number of interconnected problems： "overwork, unemployment, over-consumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being, and the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply to enjoy life". Economic systems that require constant growth on a finite （有限的）planet don't make sense. It's time for a change in our economic thinking. 32. Why did Ford decide to shorten the workweek? A. To cut workers' pay. B. To make more profits. C. To respond to worker demands. D. To meet labor unions, requirements. 33. What change in the workforce happened after World War Ⅱ ? A. More women worked full-time. B. The number of laborers decreased. C. Technology enabled people to work shorter hours. D. It was unnecessary for a family's oldest male to work. 34. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. Longer working hours means better consumption ability. B. The 21st century sees the longest working hours in history.C. The cycle of hard work and consumption should be changed. D. Pausing our way of living can change the present workweek. 35. New Economics Foundation thinks a 21-hour workweek will . A. increase unemployment B. cause various problems C. encourage people to enjoy life D. challenge the economic growth 第二节（共 5 小题;每小题 2 分 9 满分 10 分） 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。 You may have come across the picture that has a number drawn on the floor with two people standing on either side of the number. One person sees a 6, and the other sees a 9. 36 They could either stay there arguing and holding on to their ideas, or they could move around and see the difference in their thoughts. This is perspective （视角）. 37 The world would be a better place if people understood this. But before you start thinking of how you can start seeing things from the perspective of another person, you need to first know what a life perspective is. Just like the example, life perspective is the way we see life, including the way we approach life and all that are in our personal experience. 38 What we usually have are two different perspectives on one thing. We have a person saying something is bad and should not be done, and then we have another person saying that “bad” is a strong word to use for the same thing. 39 And everyone sees things a lot differently compared to the next person. This makes life more complex because, instead of seeing the similarities we share, we often focus on what is different, which leads to disagreements and fights. 40 It's likely that these problems no longer annoy you. A. There are more than 7 billion people in the world. B. In our life, few things are absolutely right or wrong. C. It seems difficult to decide which perspective is wrong. D. Simply make a switch and see from a different perspective. E. A perspective on life can be shaped, changed, or explained. F. They are both right, yet they are wrong in the eyes of the other person. G. And they usually make us believe that we are the one who s holding the truth. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节（共 20 小题；每小题 1. 5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处 的最佳 选项。 Some years back my house had been broken into.

Last month, my aunt and uncle returned work, so they needed someone to look after their child. I offered to give them the hand. I had thought I was able to do that but things turned out so differently. First, they fought from time to time but I couldn't stop from it. Then, the mess they made really annoys me. At lunchtime, I was busy preparing food while screaming to stop them beating each other. I wished I have not made that crazy offer.
