Florence Nightingale and the Year of Nurse
The World Health Organization has made 2020 as the “Year of the Nurse”, marking 200
years since the birth of Florence Nightingale, who established the principles of modern nursing
and hospital sanitation(卫生设备). If she should drop in on a hospital today, Nightingale would
be thrilled (21) ________ (witness) the progress in nursing since her day—and how it is ready to
change in the years to come.
In 1860, Nightingale founded the first nursing school at a hospital in London, (22)
________ she wrote some 200 books and papers. She was one of the first women that (23)
________ (admit) to the Royal Statistical Society, for her pioneering work in statistical
infographics. While (24) ________ (tend) to British soldiers in the Crimean War, she made the
case for hospital sanitation using a variation of the pie chart, entitled “Diagram of the Causes of
Mortality in the Army in the East”, to show that more soldiers died from infections than from
injuries. She drew up the chart to “affect through the eyes (25) ________ we may fail to convey
to the brains of the public through their word-proof ears”. In what became known as a Coxcomb 高三英语试卷 第 4 页 共 12 页
diagram, each slice of the pie has the same angular width( 角宽) and an area representing the
amount in a given category (such as number of dead men).
Many, if not most, people today think nurses merely acquire a (26) ________
(comprehensive) set of skills on the ward than doctors, much like it was back in Nightingale’s
time. In fact, nurses have university degrees and there are doctorate-level studies in nursing.
Like doctors, nurses (27) __________ (specialize) in a wide range of clinical disciplines, such as
Accident & Emergency. (28) __________ is the pace of innovation in nursing that some issues
of American Nurse Today, a monthly journal, run more than 70 pages.
(29) ________ diagnostic systems and surgical robots advance, nursing may be the only
aspect of the health-care profession in which machines will not replace human beings. Even
though nursing is shaped by medical science and technology, as it has been since Nightingale’s
time, its healing powers remain (30) _________ (root) in empathy and a human touch.

Managing Director, Frank Li, said, “As a foreign investor, my greatest fear in the ICT
sector is not the devaluation or the scarcity of dollar but it’s the uncertainties that ____32____
the economy. However ICT has ____33____ potentials in developing Nigeria’s GDP.”
According to him, during the recession(衰退) period, many foreign investors had the fear of
shutting down and moving out of Nigeria, “but with increase in international oil price, Nigeria is
gradually experiencing more economic fortunes in ____34____ reserves, which have restored
the confidence of foreign investors to invest in Nigeria,” Li added.
The Huawei MD noted that the company has great ____35____ in meeting the demands of
over 90 million Internet users in Nigeria and also reaching over 200 communities, which house
about 40 million people in rural areas, who still don’t have access to basic telecommunication
service.
Li further noted that the company has been ____36____ the government with the aim of
creating more jobs. He however advised the central bank of Nigeria to have a stable currency
policy that will attract foreign investors and encourage private sector participation.

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,
B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Smaller, Greener, Better
During my 15 years as an administrator, I was a no-show at scientific conferences. Before
that, my go-to conferences included Metals in Biology in Ventura, California. This past January,
I went back to Ventura after a 15-year ___41___. A lot of things struck me about how things
have changed and how some things have stayed the same. One thing that is increasingly on
people’s minds is the future of scientific meetings.
What has stayed ___42___ is that a conference of that style, with 200 scientists from
around the world, is a vital form for scientific exchange. The participants ranged from graduate
students to the pioneers in the field of bioinorganic chemistry. It was interesting to see how far a
lot of the science has come. Some fields still have great ___43___: Even though we know much
more about the structures, we still wonder how the O–O bond forms in photosystem II(光合体系
II).
One thing that has started to change ___44___ is the increasing number of women and
people of color among conference speakers and participants. We are ___45___ close to solving
the equity (公平) problems in science or science meetings, but the change in the ___46___ and
atmosphere of meetings overall after 15 years is encouraging. This trend should continue, and
more members should have speaking roles to showcase their science, and maybe small meetings
could also require that a few talks be given by postdocs and early career faculty.
When it comes to big meetings, the interchange among scientists ___47___ is still essential.
But it’s time for the scientific community to engage in frank talk about the ___48___ of
meetings on the climate. Some conferences have been supporting digital poster sessions to
___49___ waste, but thousands of folks flying to these meetings is the real problem to focus on.
It’s time to think creatively about how to reduce the carbon footprint of meetings while 高三英语试卷 第 6 页 共 12 页
___50___ —even improving—their value.
What if we broke the large meetings into smaller, concurrent( 同 时 发 生 的 ) ones at
___51___ sites where people could gather, sharing the drive or taking the train? Despite the big
draw of large meetings, unless you’re in the front rows of the big ballrooms where these are held,
you’re watching the speaker on a screen from the back or even in an overflow room. But in a
concurrent sites model, ___52___ conferences could be spread across different sites. This
approach would lower the cost of ___53___ conferences and thereby potentially increase the
number and diversity of attendees. A group of graduate students piling into a ___54___ is much
more democratic than having to decide who gets to fly.
Scientific conferences are vital to scientists’ collaboration. Continuing to improve them in
terms of equity for both the participants and the climate is something we can’t stop ___55___ to
do. I volunteer to drive the first van.
41. A. pause B. persistence C. research D. administration
42. A. unbelievable B. unusual C. unreasonable D. unchanged
43. A. breakthroughs B. mysteries C. theories D. pioneers

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose
the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.
A
As consumers, especially young ones, become more eco-conscious, services are popping up
to reduce wastefulness in the flower industry, extending the life of old bouquets(花束) that were
previously thrown away the day after a big event.
Considering that the floral(花的)gifting market is expected to reach $16 billion in revenue
by 2023, buying from eco-friendly businesses can have a huge impact. According to one 高三英语试卷 第 7 页 共 12 页
estimate, the roughly 100 million roses grown for a typical Valentine’s Day in the U.S. produce
about 9,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
“When you realize what the supply chain looks like and the number of hands that touch
these flowers, and then they’re only appreciated for a couple of hours, it’s kind of disgusting
when you think about the amount of resources that go into it,” says Jennifer Grove, founder of
New York City-based flower service Repeat Roses.
While working as a wedding designer and corporate planner, Grove often oversaw the
design of floral arrangements, only to see those creations thrown away within a few hours. In
2014 she founded Repeat Roses to make it easier for luxury clients to donate used bouquets.
Like a traditional floral service, the company sells high-end floral decorations for weddings or
social events, but it then recycles or composts(堆肥) them.
If a customer chooses the unique repurposing(为......改变用途) service, a Repeat Roses
team can remove the arrangements from the event and then restyle the flowers into smaller
bouquets to donate to hospitals, nursing homes and family shelters. If there’s a charity that holds
a special place in a customer’s heart, the team will ensure the blooms are sent there. “It’s a
logistics business, and we’re trying to make sure we are strategic in where we play
matchmaker,” Grove says. When the charities are finished with the flowers, Repeat Roses also
picks them back up and composts them. The altruism isn’t free—prices start at $1,750 for the
removal and repurposing service to account for the transportation and labor costs. If you’re not
willing to spend that much, the company will still compost the flowers from your event instead
of sending them to a landfill.
Through these two methods, Repeat Roses estimates it has diverted more than 98 tons of
waste from landfills and delivered almost 53,000 floral arrangements to people in need.
Although Repeat Roses is a for-profit business, the flower repurposing itself is a tax write-off for
the client. As the fair market value of a client’s donated flowers is what’s used for the charitable
tax credit and is eligible for deduction, Repeat Roses ensures that the beneficiary sends you an
acknowledgement letter including details of your donation.
56. Jennifer Grove founded Repeat Roses in order to do the following except ______.
A. avoid the waste of flowers
B. reduce the pollution to the environment
C. earn money by selling used flowers
D. help some customers do charity work
57. The underlined word “altruism” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A. the company’s composting the flowers
B. the customers’ donating flowers to people in need
C. the reception of the donation by the people in need
D. the transportation of the flowers to a landfill
58. What benefit does a customer who has donated flowers get?
A. To get a discount when buying flowers.高三英语试卷 第 8 页 共 12 页
B. To feel fulfilled because of donation.
C. To get a tax reduction.
D. To receive a letter of compliment.
59. The passage is mainly intended to introduce ________.
A. a creative way of making money
B. a green trend of waste utilization
C. a way to cut the emission of carbon dioxide
D. a company devoted to charity
B
Coronavirus: What is “flattening the curve” and will it work?
In epidemiology, the idea of slowing a virus’ spread so that fewer people need to seek
treatment at any given time is known as “flattening the curve”. It explains why so many
countries are implementing "social distancing" guidelines—including a “shelter in place” order
that affects 6.7 million people in Northern California, even though COVID-19 outbreaks there
might not yet seem severe.
Here’s what you need to know about the curve, and why we want to flatten it.
What is the curve?
The “curve” researchers are talking about refers to the projected number of people who will
contract COVID-19 over a period of time. (To be clear, this is not a hard prediction of how many
people will definitely be infected, but a theoretical number that's used to model the virus’ spread.)
Here’s what one looks like:
The curve takes on different shapes, depending on the virus’s infection rate. It could be a
steep curve, in which the virus spreads exponentially (that is, case counts keep doubling at a
consistent rate), and the total number of cases skyrockets to its peak within a few weeks. 高三英语试卷 第 9 页 共 12 页
Infection curves with a steep rise also have a steep fall; after the virus infects pretty much
everyone who can be infected, case numbers begin to drop exponentially, too.
The faster the infection curve rises, the quicker the local health care system gets overloaded
beyond its capacity to treat people. As we’re seeing in Italy, more and more new patients may be
forced to go without ICU beds, and more and more hospitals may run out of the basic supplies
they need to respond to the outbreak.
A flatter curve, on the other hand, assumes the same number of people ultimately get
infected, but over a longer period of time. A slower infection rate means a less stressed health
care system, fewer hospital visits on any given day and fewer sick people being turned away.
How do we flatten the curve?
As there is currently no vaccine or specific medication to treat COVID-19, the only way to
flatten the curve is through collective action. Some governments have recommended that all
citizens wash their hands frequently, self-isolate when they're sick or suspect they might be, and
start “social distancing” right away.
60. According to the passage, which of the following about the curve is TRUE?
A. The curve has different shapes depending on the types of pandemic.
B. The curve with a flatter rise has a flatter fall as well.
C. The steep curve suggests local health system might maintain its capacity.
D. The curve here shows the number of people who’ve been cured.
61. Why is it important to flatten the curve?
A. The time for the infection will be shorter.
B. People can develop immunity to the virus.
C. The health care system can handle the infected people.
D. Vaccines can be developed to stop the spread of the virus.
62. What is the way mentioned in the passage to flatten the curve?
A. Putting local health care system under stress.
B. Paying more frequent visits to local hospitals.
C. Giving people effective medication or vaccine.
D. Practicing social distancing as soon as possible.
C
Malaysia has long wished to join the ranks of developed countries. Admission to the OECD,
often referred to as the “rich countries’ club”, would be a formal recognition. But how close is
Malaysia to the OECD level of development?
Judging from its economic development, the answer is “close”. In 2019, Malaysia’s
per-capita GDP was estimated at about $12,200, not far behind the $13,530 average of the six
least wealthy OECD members, according to World Bank data. Per-capita GDP is a very narrow 高三英语试卷 第 10 页 共 12 页
gauge of development, though. Another good measure is the human development index, or HDI,
which takes into account life expectancy, health, quality of life and education. In 2019,
Malaysia’s HDI put it 61st of 189 countries. Within Asia, only three countries rank higher:
Singapore at 9th, Japan at 19th and Korea at 22nd. So Malaysia has made good progress.
However, the service sector provides a more comprehensive assessment. The service sector,
as opposed to agriculture or manufacturing, tends to be the largest and most important in any
developed economy. Here you find the best-paid, most highly skilled jobs. Services reflect the
quality of a country’s workers. And since a large part of the service sector is linked to consumers,
it also measures consumer-sector development. An innovative, sophisticated service sector with
a strong supply of skilled labor and steady demand from its customers is a meaningful measure
of a country’s development.
So how is Malaysia’s services sector? On the supply side, Malaysia boasts one of the
best-educated populations in emerging Asia. However, educational quality is far from
satisfactory. According to the OECD’s latest Program for International Student Assessment
(PISA), Malaysian students of equivalent education levels perform only about 85% as well as
their OECD peers in reading, 88% in math and 84% in science. It’s better on the demand side,
where private consumption has survived slowing global trade and rising economic uncertainty.
In the first half of 2019, private consumption grew by 7.7% year on year—not far off 2018’s 8%
growth—despite falling investment and slowing export growth.
To go forward, Malaysia needs to make labor productivity and growth in consumption
mutually reinforcing(加强). To boost labor productivity, it needs to improve both the quality of
workers and their market mobility. A more productive labor force will translate into higher
household incomes, which will further stimulate private consumption. More consumption will
encourage greater investment in services. And stronger investment, especially in startups, will
make services a more powerful engine of employment growth.
Increasing investment in services would come with a bonus: quickening the evolution of
Malaysia’s digital economy. This is the new frontier( 前 线 ) for Malaysia’s service sector.
Getting there will prepare Malaysia for the prime time.
63. The underlined word “gauge” in Paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to __________.
A. the distance between two places
B. an instrument for finding the size, quantity, etc. of something
C. a fact or event that can be used to judge something
D. something missing that prevents it from being complete or satisfactory
64. To evaluate a country’s economic growth, the service sector offers a more complete
evaluation because __________.
A. it shows how well labor force and consumer-sector develop
B. developed countries depend entirely on services to prosper
C. it includes jobs that require both basic and advanced skills
D. growth in agriculture and manufacturing underlines the service sector
65. Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE according to the passage?高三英语试卷 第 11 页 共 12 页
A. According to PISA, Malaysian students score higher in reading than science.
B. Higher family incomes will help to increase labor productivity.
C. Slower global economy didn’t affect Malaysia’s private consumption that much.
D. Investment in services is likely to create more job opportunities.
66. What can be the best title for this passage?
A. The Definition and Role of a Developed Country
B. Developing Economy Is the Key to Joining OECD
C. Malaysia Has to Further Develop Its Services
D. People in Malaysia Need Better Education
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the
box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you
need.
The next time you find yourself negotiating a promotion or job offer, it might pay to look
past the job title and explore the specific responsibilities that will be yours alone.
That’s the conclusion of a new research paper from a Massachusetts Institute of
Technology professor, Nathan Wilmers, who examined the question of why salaries often differ
between people with the same job titles in the same organization. _______67_________
Wilmers found that even within roles with the same job title, employees who managed to
claim specific job tasks unique to the organization typically had an advantage in pay. Workers
who possessed these specific skills and responsibilities, which Wilmers referred to as “job turf”,
typically earned 5% more than colleagues with the same job description, even when controlling
for past experience, education and gender. _______68_________
Wilmer findings on job turf echo a conclusion. _______69_________ Power within an
organisation is often less a function of what’s granted from higher-ups (job titles, seniority) than
of an employee’s ability to successfully navigate the organisation’s social networks. In other
words, the ability to build relationships with colleagues who might be willing to mentor you,
train you and eventually share or delegate key tasks has enormous value.
A. This poses a challenge to typical ideas of solidarity.
B. It often comes up in academic research on social networks in organizations.
C. Perhaps the most effective way to gain job turf is to stay in a job.
D. The results suggest that workers who are able (and willing) to identify and claim specific
skills within their job description end up with a slight pay advantage over their peers.
E. What you actually do at work has some relationship with your earnings, even if your job title
isn’t changing.
F. Claiming job turf gives an employee an advantage when it comes to job security, because
they become harder to replace with a colleague or new hire.高三英语试卷 第 12 页 共 12 页
_______70_________ In Wilmers’ research, the most reliable predictor of an employee’s
job turf was their work period of time at the organisation. The longer you stick around an
organisation, the more likely you are to gain job turf. “This could be because managers become
more likely to assign these workers turf, or because higher tenure workers get a better
understanding of how the organisation works and are thereby more effective at establishing turf.
IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the

71. Why is America’s Milk Industry in so much trouble?
For much of The 20th century, milk was a simple part of daily life in the U.S., as farmers
raised cows, milkmen delivered bottles and children drank it at school. But those days are
fading—a fact emphasized by the announcement on Jan. 5 by Borden Dairy, a milk processor,
that it is filing for bankruptcy protection. Borden, which said it was impacted by “market
challenges facing the dairy industry,” follows Dean Foods, America’s largest milk producer,
which filed for bankruptcy protection in November.
America has fallen out of love with drinking milk and people are substituting water bottles
for milk cartons. The downturn has been tough on dairy processors like Borden and Dean, which
buy fresh milk from farms and use techniques like pasteurization( 加 热 杀 菌 法 ) to create a
consumer-safe beverage with a longer shelf life. For the past five years, thanks to technology
that increased milk production, fresh-milk prices were relatively low. But prices began ticking
up again last year, squeezing the processors’ already tight margins. “Declining sales in a
thin-margin business is not a good recipe for success,” says Mark Stephenson, director of dairy
policy analysis at the University of Wisconsin. (Americans are still eating cheese, butter and ice
cream, but fluid-milk processors such as Dean and Borden aren’t big players in those
businesses.)
Milk processors are also facing competition from big retailers, which have set up their own
processing plants. In 2018, Walmart opened a milk-processing plant in Indiana to serve hundreds
of stores in the Midwest, taking away approximately 95 million gal. of milk-processing business
from Dean Foods.
On the other end of the supply chain, dairy farms are facing trouble of their own. The low
prices that were a benefit to processors left small farmers struggling across the industry. The
number of Chapter 12 farm bankruptcies in 2019 was up 24% from the previous year. “We’re
trying our best to hang on,” says Mary Rieckmann, a dairy farmer in Wisconsin whose family
has turned to GoFundMe to keep their century-old farm running.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Hip hop is getting its very own museum in its birthplace in New York State. Hip hop is the
name for the music, dance and fashion culture that developed around 50 years ago in the New
York City town of The Bronx.
The permanent home of the Universal Hip Hop Museum, set to open in 2023, celebrates the
cultureʼs history. The museumʼs Executive Director said “there isnʼt a physical place that is
devoted to the celebration of hip hop history and culture.” He told the Reuters news agency that
the museum started as an idea about eight years ago. Rappers and musicians wanted to make
sure that the stories can be told accurately by the people who created the history themselves.
Hip hop was born in the south Bronx in the 1970s. The dancing, rapping parts of hip-hop
grew out of the difficult inner-city environment. Hip hop has since developed into part of
popular culture.
The new exhibit tells about the early days of hip hop. The exhibit will be replaced every six
months with the next period in the cultureʼs development.
When the museum is complete, the 5,570 square meter space will have interactive exhibits,
live shows, film screenings and conferences. One room will have an interactive device. The
device was created with Microsoft and the MIT Center for Advanced Virtuality. It takes visitors 高三英语试卷 第 16 页 共 12 页
on a hip hop history trip based on their reactions to different characters in a game. It forms a
custom narrative of hip hop history based on their musical preferences.
The grand opening, in 2023, is planned to mark 50 years of hip hop. Work on the project
will begin in July.
Questions:
11. What is the Museum mentioned in the passage committed to?
12. When did hip hop music probably come into being?
13. What can the interactive device created with Microsoft and MIT do?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
If an animal is moved from its home in the tropics to cold climate, it will die if it is not kept
warm. And animals accustomed to cold climates will die if they are moved to the tropics. Many
plants, too, will die if they are removed from the place where they normally grow and are
transplanted into an unfamiliar soil. Almost every species is adapted to life in a particular place
by its organs and their functions and by its permanent habits. The specialized adaptation has
great advantages. It enables many organisms to survive under different conditions. It also has
disadvantages, for it means that the life of most species is controlled by local conditions.
Living things are not scattered over the earth at random; most species have definite habits
for living places. Most living things are slaves to their environment. Some can alter certain
features of their environment to suit themselves; many birds and insects can build elaborate nests
to provide shelter for their young. But these skills are restricted and highly specialized. Most
organisms must adapt their bodies to fit in with their surroundings, and since they can adapt only
for particular surroundings, they are found only in places where they can live successfully with
the least effort.
Plants find these favorable places by trial and error. The wind carries their seeds great
distances. If the seeds land in a favorable environment they grow and reproduce. If they are
deposited in an unfavorable environment they die. Animals, on the other hand, search until
they find a favorable environment.

Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following dialogue.
W: Hello, Jack. Is everything ready for the trip this Saturday?
M: Everything’s set — we’ll have plenty of time to get downtown to the art gallery for the
reception.
W: It’s great you could organize this. 高三英语试卷 第 17 页 共 12 页
M: I figured I might as well make a student event out of it. Working here at the Student
Activities Center made me realize how popular our activities are. I figured there would be
interest in it.
W: Well, you’ve done a super job organizing everything! Those posters look great… and they
went up in no time!
M: Thanks… and I’m glad you could approve the funding for us.
W: My pleasure…uh, by the way… how’re you getting to the gallery from the train station?
M: Well, there’re buses that run downtown. I realize it’s last-minute, but… well — the weather
for Saturday’s supposed to be really nice — sunny, warm…it’d be a great opportunity to walk
the High Line.
W: The what?
M: Oh, I guess not everyone’s heard of it… it’s this amazing park in the sky!
W: A park in the sky?
M: Yes. There was this old train line, one of those “elevated lines”, the kind that run high above
the streets. This one was used for cargo, not passengers.
But when it got cheaper to move cargo by truck, they stopped using it. It was abandoned for a
long time and then, a few years back, the city agreed to turn the tracks and surrounding area into
a park! It goes from the train station all the way downtown, near the gallery. It’s really cool!
There’s grass and flowers everywhere…and, since you’re high up, you get these great views of
the city.
W: Sounds wonderful. But have you considered that not everybody might be interested in
walking that far. They might prefer the bus.
M: Couldn’t we just split up, you know, have some of us walk, and the others take the bus?
W: But remember, Jack, the poster advertises as the tour leader. Not everybody is adventurous
about getting around the city. You would need to find someone to accompany people on the bus.
Then you can take the walkers.
M: Yes, but who? The trip is in two days.
W: Well, I know how to get around the city.
M: That would be great if you can come and join us!
