（2020 届河南省名校联盟高三联考）
How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends? What if the only way of
getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took ages to be delivered? 16． Thanks to advances in
technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed significantly.
Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with the people that we want to remain
friends with. Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to and maintain friendships. 17．
The digital age also enables us to find people who share our interests, such as collecting model cars or playing
an unusual instrument. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them,
even if they live on the other side of the world.
But when you “friend” people online, does this mean that they really are your friends?
18．
If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and
meaningful. But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a
person.
On social media sites, people tend to post only positive updates that make them appear happy and friendly. But
smiling photos can hide real problems. 19． A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even
be sharing our information with criminals.
20． Although technology has changed the way we acquire friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing
for friends remain the same. As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other
goods.
A．It depends.
B．All you need is a Wi-Fi connection.
C．It’s a problem that’s getting a lot of coverage.
D．This was how things worked not very long ago.
E.Remember the saying: on the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.
F.But that doesn’t mean that a higher percentage of people feel lonely now.
G.But this doesn’t mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Over the past few months, COVID-19 has caused great uncertainty around the world affecting people's lives in
all aspects.Education is also greatly affected. With students all turning to online instruction, live-streamed classes
have become popular among schools and universities. 16．
In China, the use of e-learning is unusual not only in size but also in depth. 17． For another, it proves how
modern technology changes the way students are educated and encourages further research and development of
educational technology to introduce virtual communities between students and teachers.
In fact,online instruction as an alternative teaching mode has been expanding rapidly in recent years.Many
Chinese start-ups focus on AI applications in online courses,and various online educational platforms are set
up.18． The online education platform MOOC,where a wide variety of courses is available,has attracted the world's
top universities to upload and share resources with students around the world.
Compared with formal instruction,online courses save abundant costs and create a flexible teaching mode(模
式）－homeschooling,especially during a crisis. 19．For example,rural students with no access to the Internet and 5 / 44
television might be left behind in this new mode.When e-learning becomes the only solution for delivering
knowledge,the existing divide could be widened,further deepening education inequality.Also,the quality of teaching
becomes heavily dependent on uncertain factors,such as a stable connection to the Internet and technical skills.
20．Yet,the pandemic(流行病）has undoubtedly affected the teaching style in a sweeping manner and given
educators around the world plenty of time and space to think about the alternative educational modes.
A．However,online teaching has its own disadvantages.
B．The traditional face-to-face teaching style has been challenged.
C．Chinese colleges and universities started the spring term online.
D．Moreover,online education is fairly acceptable to college education.
E.Online teaching provides a chance to reconsider the current education system.

X-rays are high energy waves that are invisible. 16．For example,doctors can see inside the human body and
security guards at airports can see inside your handbag. In 1895,the German scientist,Wilhelm Rontgen,discovered
X-rays by accident. He called them X-rays because he hadn't seen such a form of radiation before. 17．Wilhelm
took the first X-ray picture of the bones of his wife's hand after the discovery. In 1901,he received the first Nobel
Prize in Physics for his discovery.
X-rays are valuable in medicine because then can see through certain parts of the body. Doctors can take
pictures to see which bones are broken or to find out which teeth have holes. The X-rays are strong enough to pass
through the skin and muscles,but they cannot pass through hard objects like bones. In the picture,hard objects like
bones are white area18．
There are some situations in which X-rays cannot give you a clear picture. Some organs,for example,may
prevent X-rays from showing a broken bone. For this reason,computed tomography(CT)was invented. A person is
put inside a scanner,which is a large tube-shaped machine. 19． A computer puts together all of these images,which
can show doctors more than a normal X-ray can.
20．Patients must wear protective clothing for the parts of their body that are not X-rayed. Doc- tors and
helpers who work with X-ray machines must wear lead aprons and stand behind screens. 7 / 44
A．Then the person is X-rayed from all sides.
B．Objects that X-rays go through appear dark.
C．In mathematics,X means something unknown.
D．An X-ray machine is used to take these pictures.
E.X-rays,however,can also do harm to your body.
F.However,they can be an essential tool for finding out what's wrong with you.
G.They are useful because they can pass through many things that normal light cannot.

16．根据上文提示“X 射线是不可见的高能波。”再根据下文提示“例如，医生可以看到人体内部，机场
保安可以看到你的手提包内部。”承接上下文，G 项 They are useful because they can pass through many things
that normal light cannot.（它们很有用，因为它们可以穿过许多普通光不能穿过的东西。）切题。故选 G。
17．根据上文提示“他称它们为 X 射线是因为他以前从未见过这种形式的辐射。”再根据下文提示“在这
个发现之后，威廉给他妻子的手骨拍了第一张 X 光照片。”承接上下文，C 项 In mathematics,X means
something unknown.（在数学中，X 表示未知的东西。）切题。故选 C。
18．根据下文提示“在图片中，像骨头这样的坚硬物体是白色区域。”承接上文，B 项 Objects that X-rays
go through appear dark.（被 X 射线穿透的物体看起来是黑暗的。）切题。故选 B。
19．根据上文提示“一个人被放进一个扫描仪里，这是一个大型的管状机器。”再根据下文提示“计算机

Earth Day is one of the world's largest environmental movements. Held every year on April 22, Earth Day 8 / 44
turns 50 this year. It was created by US politician Gaylord Nelson, aiming to give a voice to people who wanted
environmental protection. 16． Back then, it helped to bring clean air and water laws to the US. Now a global
movement, it's facing even bigger environmental threats.
17． One of these is The Ocean Cleanup based in the Netherlands. It has successfully made a device that can
gather and collect waste from our oceans and rivers, a majority of which is plastic. For us, plastic is an item we use
and then throw away. But if you throw away a plastic bottle today, it is non-biodegradable (不可生物降解的).It
will still be around for hundreds of years. Much of this plastic waste ends up in the sea, where it kills more than 100
million sea creatures every year. 18．
It is not just our oceans that are under threat. Over time, deforestation (滥伐森林)，improper farming, and
livestock grazing (放牧)can stop green areas from growing. 19． A Chinese non-governmental organizations (NGO)
— The China Green Foundation — is working to change this by planting millions of trees. Another NGO that is
making big changes is Welfare Togo. Togo is a developing country in Africa. It faces many environmental
problems, including air and water pollution and desertification. To help, Welfare Togo opened 31 schools across
the country that focus on teaching sustainable development. Its aim is using education to bring positive
environmental changes to Togo.
20． However, through small everyday changes, such as recycling correctly, we can also bring about
considerable changes to our natural world.
A．This is called desertification.
B．It aims to support environmental protection around the world.
C．His idea was so successful that more than 20 million people joined in Earth Day events.
D．However, because of high demand, we still make more than 300 tons of new plastic every year.
E.It challenges people to promote environmental education.
F.Not all of us can make such large contributions.
G.Fortunately, many NGOs are stepping up to promote positive changes.

People often say that “failure is the mother of success”. 16． As a result, Manalo, a professor of educational
psychology in Japan says, “We know we shouldn’t give up when we fail—but in reality, we do.”
Manalo and Manu, a professor of learning sciences in Swiss, put together a special issue (专利) last December
on benefiting from failure. The issue’s 15 studies provide teachers and educational researchers with a guide for 10 / 44
achieving success. 17． Another confirmed that advice on failures is most constructive when the receiver is prepared
to experience unpleasant feelings.
Manalo and his co-authors also focused on overcoming one everyday form of failure: not completing a task.
They asked 131 students to write an article about their school experiences. Half of the students received instructions
for their writing, and half were left to their own. 18． Afterward the researchers found that those in the instructed
group were more willing to complete their articles, compared with those who lacked guidance—even if the latter
were closer to being done. 19．
20． Stephanie Couch, the director of the Lemelson-MIT Program, holds the opinion. Couch, whose work was
also featured in the special issue, says that we should tell them to think of failure as part of a process toward
success.
A．However, all were stopped before finishing.
B．The saying shows the importance of success.
C．Teaching students not to fear failure makes goals achieved more easily.
D．One study reported that the sooner students fail, the sooner they can move forward.
E.Though having some truth to it, the saying does not tell us how to turn a loss into a win.
F.They believed that learning how to fail can help people avoid becoming lasting failures.
G.Knowing how to finish, in other words, was more important than being close to finishing.
【答案】
16．E
17．D
18．A
19．G
20．C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。人们常说“失败是成功之母”。这句话虽然有一定道理，但并没有告诉我们如
何化输为胜。文章主要介绍了日本教育心理学教授 Manalo 的一项研究表明学生越早失败，他们就能越早前
进。告诉我们要教会学生不要害怕失败，这会让目标更容易实现。
16．根据上文 People often say that “failure is the mother of success”.可知人们常说“失败是成功之母”。以
及第二段中 The issue’s 15 studies provide teachers and educational researchers with a guide for achieving success.
可知本期的 15 项研究为教师和教育研究者提供了成功的指南。由此可知，本句承接上文对“失败是成功之 11 / 44
母”这句话进行评价，认为虽然说得有道理，但是也指出这句话并没有告诉我们如何将失败变成胜利，与后
文一项研究提供了成功指南相呼应。故 E 选项“这句话虽然有一些道理，但并没有告诉我们如何将失败变成
胜利”符合上下文语境，故选 E。
17．根据后文 Another confirmed that advice on failures is most constructive when the receiver is prepared to
experience unpleasant feelings.可知另一项研究证实，当接受失败的人准备经历不愉快的感觉时，关于失败的
建议最有建设性。由此可知，本句是在说明一项研究结果，且后文 Another 与 D 选项中 One 相对应，
one…another…表示“一个……另一个……”。故 D 选项“一项研究表明，学生越早失败，他们就能越早进步”
符合上下文语境，故选 D。
18．根据本段第一句 Manalo and his co-authors also focused on overcoming one everyday form of failure: not
completing a task.可知 Manalo 和他的合著者们还专注于克服一种常见的失败：没有完成任务。由此可知，这
项研究需要在学生们完成写作任务之前就停止。故 A 选项“然而，所有这些都在完成前停止了”符合上下文
语境，故选 A。
19．根据上文 Afterward the researchers found that those in the instructed group were more willing to
complete their articles, compared with those who lacked guidance—even if the latter were closer to being done.可
知之后，研究人员发现，与缺乏指导的小组相比，接受指导的小组更愿意完成他们的文章——即使后者更
接近完成。由此可知，本句承接上文说明，这项研究结果证明，知道如何完成比接近完成更重要。故 G 选
项“换句话说，知道如何完成比接近完成更重要”符合上下文语境，故选 G。
20．根据后文 Stephanie Couch, the director of the Lemelson-MIT Program, holds the opinion. Couch, whose
work was also featured in the special issue, says that we should tell them to think of failure as part of a process
toward success.可知 Lemelson-MIT 项目主任 Stephanie Couch 持有这种观点。Couch 的作品也出现在本期特
刊中。他说，我们应该告诉他们，失败是走向成功的过程中的一部分。由此可知，失败是走向成功的过程
中的一部分，因此要教会学生不要害怕失败，反而会让目标更容易实现。故 C 选项“教学生不要害怕失败会
让目标更容易实现”符合上下文语境，故选 C。

As more work can be done online, more and more people have chance to work at home. On the surface,
working from home sounds like a dream come true. 16． After all, there are countless distractions (分心的事物) at
home. To help you plan for the real-life challenges, we’ve collected some tips for avoiding distractions.
17．
Every job has a uniform. Uniforms serve two purposes: First, they communicate to the outside world a 12 / 44
person’s position, stature and function. And second, they reinforce those same messages to the person wearing the
uniform. When you work from home, dressing in your normal work uniform reinforces the idea that you are
actually working.
Keep a Consistent Schedule
Many of us are more productive when we are working within a certain framework. 18． If your job requires a
lot of interaction with colleagues in a time zone, you should try your best to make your schedule consistent with
their normal business hours. If your work is largely independent, you have the freedom to work earlier or later than
the regular workday.
Be Flexible with Your Family Time
19． Instead of working a straight daytime schedule of 9 to 5, divide the workday into two sections, from 9 a.m.
to 2 p.m., then from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. With this schedule, you can be with the kids for a few hours when they get
home from school, make dinner and eat together, then go back to the office for a few more hours in the evening.
Have a Backup Plan
When you work from home, you need a plan B for the unavoidable interruptions to your well-planned
workflow. There are any number of mini-crises that can erupt at home: loss of power or Internet service,
unscheduled playdates or a neighbor cutting down a tree a few feet from your office window. 20． It should be
someplace close to your home with a reliable Internet connection where you can work in peace.
A．Get up and get dressed.
B．Be casual about your dress.
C．You need an alternative workspace.
D．But the reality is far more complex.
E.It can be a friend’s apartment or a library.
F.That’s why it’s so important to set and keep a schedule.
G.This is a good tip for folks trying to work from home with school-age kids.
【答案】
16．D
17．A
18．F
19．G 13 / 44
20．C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。在家工作可能会遇到许多分心的事物，作者就如何避免分心给出了一些
建议。
16．根据前文“ On the surface, working from home sounds like a dream come true.”可知从表面上看，在家
工作就像美梦成真。根据后文“After all, there are countless distractions (分心的事物) at home. ”可知在家里会有
无数让你分心的事物。这里前后文在内容上形成了对比，前文说在家里工作看起来挺好，后文说家里有分
心的事物，说明实际上在家里工作没有表面上好。承上启下，D 项（但是现实要复杂得多）切题。故选 D
项。
17．本空要选一个小标题来概括第二段的内容。根据第二段中的“When you work from home, dressing in
your normal work uniform reinforces the idea that you are actually working.”可知当你在家工作的时候，穿着工
作服会强化你确实是在工作的想法。也就是说作者提出的建议是穿工作服。A 项（起来，穿好衣服）切题，
故选 A 项。
18．根据小标题 Keep a Consistent Schedule 可知这一段作者建议保持一个一致的时间表。根据本段第一
句话“Many of us are more productive when we are working within a certain framework. ”可知我们中的许多人当
一个特定的框架内工作时会更多产。这里正好解释了为什么作者会提出这种建议，连接上文，F 项（这就是
为什么制定和遵守一个时间表是如此重要。）切题。故选 F 项。
19．根据后文“Instead of working a straight daytime schedule of 9 to 5, divide the workday into two sections,
from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.,... hours in the evening.”可知作者建议不要一直朝九晚五地工作，把工作日分成两部分，
从早上 9 点到下午 2 点，然后从晚上 7 点到 10 点。有了这个时间表，你可以在孩子放学回家后陪他们几个
小时，一起做晚饭，一起吃饭，然后在晚上回到办公室再花几个小时（工作）。G 项（对于那些想在家照
顾学龄儿童的人来说，这是一个很好的建议。）与小标题（灵活安排家庭时间）一致且与后文相呼应，故
选 G 项。
20．根据小标题 Have a Backup Plan 可知作者建议要有一个后备计划。根据前文“There are any number of
mini-crises that can erupt at home: loss of power or Internet service, unscheduled playdates or a neighbor cutting
down a tree a few feet from your office window. ”可知家里可能会爆发许多小危机:停电或断网，计划外的娱乐
活动，或者邻居砍倒了离你办公室窗户几英尺远的一棵树。根据后文“It should be someplace close to your home
with a reliable Internet connection where you can work in peace.”可知它应该离你家很近，有可靠的网络连接，
这样你可以安心工作。综合以上可知作者建议有一个备用的地方来应对这些危机，C 项（你需要一个备用工
作区）放在这里符合语境，后文的 it 就是指代 C 项中的“an alternative workspace.”。故选 C 项。 14 / 44

decline, most people begin watching the clock, waiting for nothing.16．“How positively you end your professional
day can promote success both inside and outside of the office,” says Randi Levin, a transitional life strategist. Let's
see how successful people end their workday with a bang.
Successful people reflect on their accomplishments. While many of us spend our last hour of work making a
to-do list for tomorrow, they review the day they just had, instead.17．Similarly, Levin recommends writing down
the day's wins rather than setbacks or to-dos, as well as reviewing your list of successes once a month. It will prove
your professional growth and bring more joy into your job.
Also, successful people brainstorm solutions for today's setbacks.18．Instead, they end their day by thinking
carefully about the problems they met, brainstorming possible solutions, and then leaving it for tomorrow. They
will settle those problems after a good night's sleep.
19．Rather than detailing the tasks that need to get done, this kind of list encourages people to focus on finding
solutions for their projects. “Forget the horrible 'to-do' list,” Levin says, “before heading to happy hour, write down
three to five goals you have for the next 24 hours.20．It will provide you with not only a concrete and positive way
to begin tomorrow, but also it will allow you to see much more possibilities.”
A．This list is a promise to yourself.
B．Successful people make a to-do list.
C．It will make people understand the problems better.
D．They never bring the day's failures home with them.
E.Another work these people do is to create an action list.
F.But ending the workday with purpose can make a difference.
G.They typically choose a case and consider what led to that success.

【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了如何充分利用你工作的最后一个小时：回顾一天的成就，
集思广益解决今天的挫折，安排一次与自己的日常会议，创建一个行动列表。
16．根据后文“How positively you end your professional day can promote success both inside and outside of
the office,” says Randi Levin, a transitional life strategist. Let's see how successful people end their workday with a
bang.可知过渡人生策略师 Randi Levin 说:“以积极的态度结束一天的工作，可以促进你在办公室内外的成
功。”让我们来看看成功人士是如何用“砰”的一声结束一天的工作的。由此可知，本句与上文发生转折，强
调有目的地结束一天工作，故 F 选项“但是有目的地结束一天的工作是有意义的”符合上下文语境，故选 F。
17．根据后文 Similarly, Levin recommends writing down the day's wins rather than setbacks or to-dos, as
well as reviewing your list of successes once a month.可知类似地，Levin 建议你写下当天的成就，而不是挫折
或待办事项，并且每个月回顾一次你的成功清单。由此可知，成功人士会回顾自己的一天，并思考是什么
导致了成功，这对其他人来说有借鉴意义。故 G 选项“他们通常会选择一个案例，并考虑是什么导致了成功”
符合上下文语境，故选 G。
18．根据后文 Instead, they end their day by thinking carefully about the problems they met, brainstorming
possible solutions, and then leaving it for tomorrow. They will settle those problems after a good night's sleep.可知
相反，他们在一天结束的时候会仔细思考他们遇到的问题，集思广益可能的解决方案，然后把它留到明天。
他们会在好好睡一觉后解决这些问题。由此可知，本句与下文的内容相反，指的是成功的人从不把一天的
失败带回家，而是在一天结束的时候会仔细思考他们遇到的问题，想出解决方案，然后第二天再去解决。
故 D 选项“他们从不把一天的失败带回家”符合上下文语境，故选 D。
19．根据后文 Rather than detailing the tasks that need to get done, this kind of list encourages people to focus
on finding solutions for their projects.可知这类清单鼓励人们专注于为自己的项目寻找解决方案，而不是详细
列出需要完成的任务。由此可知，本句是在说明成功人会列出行动列表，后文中 this kind of list 可对应到 E
选项中 an action list。故 E 选项“这些人做的另一项工作是创建一个行动列表”符合上下文语境，故选 E。
20．根据后文 It will provide you with not only a concrete and positive way to begin tomorrow, but also it will
allow you to see much more possibilities.可知它不仅会为你明天的开始提供一个具体而积极的方式，而且还会
让你看到更多的可能性。由此可知，此处是在说明这个行动清单的重要性——清单是对自己的承诺。故 A
选项“这个清单是对你自己的承诺”符合上下文语境，故选 A。

Why Do You Mishear Popular Song Lyrics （歌词）？
When Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" topped the charts in early 2019, it seemed like you couldn't go five
minutes without hearing "I’m gonna take my horse to the old town road . " But a significant subgroup caught this
instead “ I’m gonna take my horse to the hotel room. 16．We've been misunderstanding song lyrics for decades,
Elton John's “hold me closer, Tony Danza" —er, "tiny dancer"— included. These modem musical mishearings
even have their own name： mondegreens.
17． When noise hits our eardrums, tiny hairs convert it into an electric signal, which travels through the
auditory nerve to the temporal lobe （颗叶）. 18． If the sounds are clear and the terms familiar, we then "hear" a
mostly accurate translation of what someone is saying. But music can drown out lyrics, and singers can pronounce
words with extra ability. The sounds in songs are often muddy and unclear. In this case, our brains struggle to find
what makes sense.
In that panic, our head reacts by offering up similar-sounding （but far more familiar） phrases, says Thomas
Ethofer, a professor of psychotherapy in Germany. For example, if the mind can't firstly comprehend taking a horse
to an old town road, it offers up an alternative to quickly solve the problem. 19．
In fact, according to Ethofer, previous knowledge of the mondegreen will make you more likely to hear it. 18 / 44
20． From a psychological aspect, he says, perhaps these mix-ups are so common because we enjoy resolving
unclearness. Regardless — the sky, this guy, tiny dancer, Tony Danza, old town road, hotel room — they are all
still songs we'll listen to on repeat.
A．This was far from a first.
B．No wonder you will make this mistake.
C．How can you listen to something more accurately?
D．There, it turns nerve firings into words with meaning.
E.That's because your brain is already prepared for that version.
F.That translation can stick, even after we learn the correct lyrics.
G.So why does the Jimi Hendrix lyric "kiss the sky" often become "kiss this guy"?
【答案】
16．A
17．G
18．D
19．F
20．E
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，我们经常会把流行歌曲的歌词听错，本文解释了这一现象出现的原因。
16．根据上文“ But a significant subgroup caught this instead “ I’m gonna take my horse to the hotel room. ”
可知但有相当一部分人把这句歌词听成了:“ I’m gonna take my horse to the hotel room. （我要把我的马带到
酒店房间。）”根据后文“We've been misunderstanding song lyrics for decades, ”可知我们听错歌词（这种现象）
已经有几十年了。结合前后文可知，听错歌词这件事不是第一次发生了，承上启下，A 项（这不是第一次）
切题。故选 A 项。
17．根据本空后的“When noise... sounds in songs are often muddy and unclear. In this case, our brains struggle
to find what makes sense.”可知当噪声冲击耳膜时，细小的毛发将其转换为电信号，该信号通过听觉神经传播
到颞叶。 如果声音清晰且术语熟悉，那么我们就“听到”对某人所说的话的最准确的翻译。但是音乐可以盖
过歌词，歌手可以用额外的能力发音。歌曲的声音往往浑浊不清。在这种情况下，我们的大脑会努力寻找
有意义的东西。由此可知，本段主要是在解释人们听歌时的大脑活动，解释为什么会听错歌词。G 项（那
么，为什么吉米·亨德里克斯的歌词“亲吻天空”经常变成“亲吻这个家伙”呢？）放在段首正好引出下文的解
释，故选 G 项。 19 / 44
18．由前文“When noise hits our eardrums, tiny hairs convert it into an electric signal, which travels through the
auditory nerve to the temporal lobe ”可知当噪声冲击耳膜时，细小的毛发将其转换为电信号，该信号通过听觉
神经传播到颞叶。D 项（在那里，它将神经刺激转化为有意义的词语。）与前文呼应，都是在解释听到歌
曲后，大脑的活动过程，D 项的 there 指的就是前文中的“the temporal lobe”，D 项的 nerve 为前文“nerve”的
复现。故选 D 项。
19．根据前文“For example, if the mind can't firstly comprehend taking a horse to an old town road, it offers up
an alternative to quickly solve the problem. ”可知如果大脑首先不能理解带一匹马到一条老城路上（这种歌
词），它会提供一个快速解决问题的替代方案。F 项（甚至在我们学习了正确的歌词之后，这种误解还会继
续下去。）与前文呼应，F 项的 that translation 指的就是前文的 an alternative。故选 F 项。
20．根据前文“In fact, according to Ethofer, previous knowledge of the mondegreen will make you more likely
to hear it.”可知实际上，根据 Ethofer 所说，如果你之前对你听错的词有所了解，你会更有可能把（歌词）听
成这个错的词。而 E 项（那是因为你的大脑已经为那个版本做好了准备。）正好解释了为什么会出现这种
现象，E 项中的 that version 指的就是前文中所说的“听错的词”。故选 E 项。

Letters last forever!
When was the last time you actually wrote a letter? People now mail fewer letters. The trend in mailing less
correspondence is likely to continue.
16． Maybe widespread use of e-mail and cheaper long-distance calling make letter writing less appealing.
Using newer forms of communication is certainly easier than writing a letter. 17．.
Consider how we use the newer forms of communication. Both phone calls and e-mail are quick ways to keep
in touch with our friends. 18． However, reading our letters again and again can help us feel close to the people who
sent them.
Although letters take longer to write, they are certainly a more memorable way to communicate. 19． Once the
ideas are organized, the words need to be written down on paper. The effort to put ideas on a page frequently
deepens our thinking. The person who receives our letter gains insights about our beliefs, rather than simply
receiving a short response to an e-mail.
Although phone calls and e-mails are important forms of communication, I believe that we should all take the
time to master the skill of writing a good letter. True, writing a letter does take more time, but that is the benefit of
a letter. By taking more time to compose our thoughts, we become more thoughtful. 20．. We create a meaningful 20 / 44
memory that the recipient can return to again and again.
A．Chances are, it has been awhile.
B．In doing so, we create more than just a note.
C．They often save handwritten letters for many years.
D．For example, much thought is involved in composing a letter.
E.There are probably many reasons why people mail fewer letters today.
F.I think that the drawback with phone calls is that we can’t save and print them.
G.However, I think that replacing handwritten letters with e-mails or phone calls is a poor choice.

【解析】本文是议论文。作者分析了现在邮寄信件减少的原因和手写信件的好处。
16．空前一段中提到“人们现在邮寄的信件变少了。”；选项 E 意思为：人们现在写信少了可能有许多
原因。选项 E 是顺承上一段的话题，是承上启下。故选 E 项。
17．选项 G 意思为：但是，我认为用电子邮件或电话取代手写的信件是一个不好的选择。选项 G 中
however 表示语义转折；空前一句提到“使用更新的交流方式当然比写信更容易。”；选项 G 中提到“这不是
一个好的选择”，前后两个句子之间是语义转折。故选 G 项。
18．选项 F 意思为：我认为电话的缺点是我们不能保存和打印它们。空后一句提到“一遍又一遍地阅读
信件”的好处；按照常理，只有保存下来的信件才能“一遍又一遍地阅读”；however 表示转折关系，因此所
填句子应该是说明“更新的交流方式”的不足之处。故选 F 项。
19．选项 D 意思为：例如，在写一封信的时候需要很多的思考。空后下文提到“一旦组织好想法，需要
把词语写在纸上。努力把想法写在纸上又常常加深我们的思考。”，这是说明写信的过程是一个思考的过程。
与选项 D 话题相符。故选 D 项。
20．此题线索是词汇复现。选项 B 意思为：这样做，我们创建的不仅仅是一条信息。选项 B 中“we
create…”和空后一句中的“We create…”是并列句式。故选 B 项。

Leonardo da Vinci and Nature
In the modern world, art and science are two very separate activities, but in Leonardo’s time they were closely
connected. Science meant mathematics and medical studies. 16． Mathematics included practical work like
surveying land for making maps as well as measuring the movements of the stars in the sky. An artist might need to
measure the different parts of the body. He could also use mathematics to place things in relationship to each other
in a drawing or painting so the scene looked correct. 17．
Mathematics was also connected to music because musical sounds have a fixed relationship with each other
that can be described in numbers. 18． More than this, though, Leonardo believed that numbers were a part of all
things in the world, including music, and he said that “without them nothing can be done.”
“Nature has kindly given us things everywhere to copy,” wrote Leonardo. In all his activities, Leonardo was
trying to discover the rules that control nature. In his search for those rules, he looked very carefully at a lot of
examples and details. Actual experience was more important to him than opinion, and he worked from facts to
ideas. 19． His purpose was to examine the world so he could copy it in beautiful paintings and sculptures. He also
wanted to learn from the clever solutions of nature.
20． His quick little sketches (素描), often done while wandering outside, helped him to catch a movement or a
shape. More careful drawings would be done at a desk with a pen and ruler. In July 2001, a small drawing by
Leonardo was sold for $12 million. It was the most expensive drawing in the world.
A．Leonardo was always drawing.
B．How could these be connected with art?
C．Leonardo’s ideas were vastly ahead of his time.
D．Mathematicians and doctors worked to discover the unknown.
E.Above all, Leonardo wanted to understand how and why things worked.
F.You will see a good example of such positioning in the painting of The Last Supper.
G.Leonardo himself was a very good musician and liked to play an instrument and sing.

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在现代世界，艺术和科学是两个非常独立的活动，但在达
芬奇的时代，它们是紧密联系在一起的。文章主要介绍了 Leonardo da Vinci 对音乐和思想的方面的见解。
16．根据上文 In the modern world, art and science are two very separate activities, but in Leonardo’s time
they were closely connected. Science meant mathematics and medical studies.可知，在现代世界，艺术和科学是
两个非常独立的活动，但在达芬奇的时代，它们是紧密联系在一起的。科学意味着数学和医学研究。由此
可知，此处应是提出疑问——科学与艺术有什么联系。故 B 选项“这些与艺术有什么联系呢？”符合上下文
语境。故选 B。
17．根据上文 He could also use mathematics to place things in relationship to each other in a drawing or
painting so the scene looked correct.可知，他还可以用数学来把事物之间的关系画在一幅画或油画中，使场景
看起来是正确的。由此可知，本句应当承接上文说明他的哪一副作品体现了这种用数学来联系事物之间的
关系。故 F 选项“你会在《最后的晚餐》这幅画中看到这种定位的一个很好的例子”符合上下文语境。故选
F。
18．根据后文 More than this, though, Leonardo believed that numbers were a part of all things in the world,
including music, and he said that “without them nothing can be done.”可知，不仅如此，Leonardo 相信数字是世
界上一切事物的一部分，包括音乐。他说：“没有数字，什么也做不成。”由此可知，Leonardo 喜欢音乐，
他相信数字是世界上一切事物的一部分，包括音乐。故 G 选项“Leonardo 本人是一个非常好的音乐家，喜欢
演奏乐器和唱歌”符合上下文语境。故选 G。
19．根据上文 Actual experience was more important to him than opinion, and he worked from facts to ideas.
可知，对他来说，实际经验比意见更重要，他从现实到思想进行工作。由此可知，本句承接上文继续说明
Leonardo 的思想。上文中 ideas 可知对应到 C 选项中 Leonardo’s ideas。故 C 选项“Leonardo 的思想远远超前
于他的时代”符合上下文语境。故选 C。
20．根据后文 His quick little sketches, often done while wandering outside, helped him to catch a movement
or a shape.可知，他经常在外面闲逛的时候画一些速写，帮助他捕捉一个动作或一个形状。由此可知，本段
是在说明 Leonardo 日常喜欢绘画的情况。故 A 选项“Leonardo 总是在画画”符合上下文语境。故选 A。

When to Change Your Mindset
Allowing negative thoughts and problems to control your mind will stop you achieving happiness and success.
But how do you know when you need to change your mindset（心态）? Below are some pointers. 23 / 44
16．To enjoy the moment, you need to choose not to pay attention to negative thoughts—whether, yours or
someone else's. This does not mean that you ignore problems,. but it does mean that you choose not let problems
kill your dreams and hopes.
You worry all the time. Worry is using your imagination to create problems, rather than solve them. Worring
about problems does not solve them.17．Most of what you worry about never takes place.
You complain about life.18．Do you find yourself complaining about your situation, or what other people have
said or done? If you do, it means that you do not accept the reality of your situation or past. That causes stress.
Rather than complain, you should change your situation.
You want a pain-free life. Don't fear pain. Pain is a part of living. You cannot travel new paths and attain
success without the pain of hard work, taking risks and making mistakes.19．
You blame others for your problems. If you feel anger and resentment（恐惧）against others, blaming them
for your problems, then you need to change your mindset.20．They only make you bitter. Instead of being angry,
choose to learn and grow from negative experiences, and then let them go.
A．It only makes you upset.
B．Sooner or later, it makes you stronger.
C．You see more negatives than positives.
D．Watch what you say to yourself, and others.

Have you ever seen a teenager or an adult riding a small bike? Perhaps it had posts sticking out from both
sides of the wheels. 16．
BMX(自行车越野) bikes have a lightweight frame and smaller wheels than other bikes. 17． The sport of
BMX began when kids wanted to copy off-speed motorcycle race that were very popular. Today it is a sport with
multiple disciplines.
18． It is an exciting, fast-paced event with off-road tracks, jumps and bends. Up to eight riders race at a time.
BMX street riding takes BMX off the competitive stage, and into the city for some fun. The goal is to do as many
creative tricks as possible in the environment. BMX park riding originated when people started using skate parks,
empty pools or parking lots, discovering new ways to ride. Later, the style was recognized as a sport and parks
were created specially for riders to practise in. Lastly, BMX flatland riding differs from all the rest. Flatland uses
nothing but a flat surface where the rider balances and does dance-like tricks on the bike. 19． The posts are called
pegs and they enable the rider to do more tricks. They can stand on them in flatland BMX or use them to grind(摩
擦)or stall in other styles of BMX.
20． But in reality, it is a sport over 65 years old. Contests such as the X Games and the Summer Olympics are
putting BMX back in the spotlight. 25 / 44
A．where did the thrilling sport start?
B．BMX racing is the original form of BMX.
C．They are designed to be fast and user - friendly.

行车越野) bikes 这个事物。F 选项（你看到的可能不是儿童自行车，而是 BMX 自行车）符合语境。故选 F。
17．空前提到：BMX 的车架很轻，车轮也比其他自行车小。该空承接上文，应该介绍这种设计的作用。
C 选项（其目的是快速好用）符合语境。故选 C。
18．下一句提到：这是一个令人兴奋的，快节奏的赛事有越野轨道，跳跃和转弯。一次最多有 8 名骑
手参加比赛。那么，该句应该提到 BMX 比赛这个话题。B 选项（小轮车比赛是小轮车的原始形式）符合该
语境。故选 B。
19．空后提到：这些柱子叫做小钉，它们能让骑手做更多的特技。那么空处应该提到 posts 这个词眼。

watching TV or your favorite movies. You might even use this time to catch up on shows you’ve been planning to
watch. However, limit yourself to a few hours of TV at a time so you don’t start to feel down. 17． Otherwise, you
can have sad feelings or depression.
18． You might have days when you feel like there’s no point in bathing since you are not going out.
However, it’s important to maintain good hygiene (卫生), and bathing actually improves your mood. Bathe or
shower at least once a day so you’re taking good care of yourself.
19． You probably want to know what’s going on outside your quarantine space, but too much information can
add to your stress, especially news about a pandemic (流行病). Set times to check on the news so you don’t get
caught in a constant cycle of watching for updates. 20． So you aren’t seeing news updates there.
A．Practicing self care is vital.

Empathy（共情）, the ability to understand other people, has dropped sharply among college students over
the past 10 years. 16． Turn on the TV, and you’re showed with news and reality shows full of people, fighting,
competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. Human beings learn by example and most of the
examples on TV are anything but empathetic. 17．
Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human and having empathy is decisive to
it. Researchers have also found that the empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides,
empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety and fear.18． Many top companies report hut empathy is one
of the most important things they expect from new managers. 19． Apparently, empathy is n kind of “emotional
intelligence” that will help us achieve it.
Then, 20． For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. One doesn’t develop empathy by
having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking. To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing
home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or
spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.
A．How can we take advantage of empathy?
B．Empathy is even an indication of a good leader.
C．What’s the best way to improve empathy?
D．There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples.
E.Today, people spend more time alone rather than join clubs. 28 / 44

Many parents see business ownership as a better bet for their kids' future than a graduate degree. Some parents
described it as the opportunity to control their fortunes and have a chance to get wealth.16．. In fact, setting a child
up in business is surely one big test of that bond. It is probably risky: small-business failures are common, and
parents risk losing their entire investment, their life savings, or more. They also risk having their relationships with
young- adult children intent at this stage on independence.17．. Jon Kelecy's father set him up recently in a
franchise (加盟店). Jon, 26, loves the work and appreciates his dad's support. But he dislikes "being in his father's
pocket" in spite of all the anxiety of a start-up.
Many parents choose franchises for their kids because they seem to offer marketing, branding and
management support.18．. One mother lost $250, 000 when a fast-food franchise she purchased for her son filed,
Mr. Bundy says. In another case, parents lost 8350.000 on a coffee-shop business they financed for their
daughter.19．. “As a parent, the best git you can ever receive is to see your children happy and successful, and
equipped to make a living," Marvin Himel says.
20．. Some structured it as a loan and delayed repayment. Others took stock in the business, with an
agreement that their child would use future earnings to buy it back. Some parents look farther ahead, hoping their
children's business will support them in retirement.
A．I's hard for children to make a choice
B．A few viewed it as a long-term investment
C．The setups can be stressful for young adults, too
D．But start-up business costs quite a lot, and has high risks
E.Parents often say they would do anything for their children
F.Children are eager to get support from their parents in management

Supporting Others
We’re always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others, Indeed, it’s natural to want to
support those we care about, especially if we are in a position to do so. 16．
When we offer support, it may not always be wanted. 17． In this case, offering support in the manner of “... if
l were you, I would …” can feel like a scolding rather than support. If our support feels conditional, it can feel
burdensome.
18． When someone is trying to manage illness or a house move, just saying, “What would help you today?”
can be amazingly supportive. Or, suggest what you can do for them: picking up some shopping, taking the dog for a
walk. Even if it’s not needed, just knowing you’ve been thought of can be supportive in itself.
Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling, rather than enabling. My son, when aged five, wanted
to make a cup of tea. I could see how inspiring it was to him to be able to do this. So I filled the kettle and took him
through the safety measures. It felt like a huge risk but it worked. His pleasure was immeasurable. The same
principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else’s capacity.19．
Sometimes the only support that’s needed is to listen without judgement. 20． This reassures (使安心) them 31 / 44
that someone cares enough to listen while they ground themselves. When times are tough, remember to keep things
stable. Waiting until the storm has passed is all it takes.
Support often works best when it’s a two-way process. It is good to know how to accept help from others as
well as offer support to them.
A．Walk alongside someone and make comments.
B．Come up with a couple of ideas for your friends.
C．Ask what support is needed and provide a practical one.
D．This can often be a bigger gift than just doing it for them.
E.But we can do more by thinking about the support we offer.
F.Sometimes people arc trying to manage life in their own way.
G.Just be there, occasional while someone lets out their feeling.

In Stressful Times, Make Stress Work for You 34 / 44
These are stressful times. Fortunately, we can actually use that stress to improve our health and well-being.
Over a decade of research suggests that it’s not the type or amount of stress that determines its impact. 16．. But
how can we change our stress mind-set?
Step 1: Acknowledge Your Stress
Labeling your stress consciously and deliberately moves neural activity from the amygdala — the center of
emotion and fear — to the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for executive control and planning.
In other words, when we take a moment to acknowledge our stress, it moves us from operating from a fearful,
reactive place to a position where we can be thoughtful and deliberate. 17．.
Step 2: Own Your Stress
18． We only stress about things that we care about. By owning our stress, we connect to the positive
motivation or personal value behind our stress.
Try completing this sentence about whatever was specifically stressing you out in step one: ''I'm stressed
about… because I deeply care about…''.
Step 3: 19．
Connecting to the core values behind your stress sets you up for the third and most essential step: using stress
to achieve your goals and connect more deeply with the things that matter most.
Ask yourself: Are your typical responses in alignment with the values behind your stress? Think about how
you might change your response to this stress to better facilitate your goals and your purpose.
There's so much happening right now that we can't control. 20．. Some psychologists argue that true
transformative change can occur only during stress or crises. The trick is to channel your stress as energy to make
the most of this time.
A．Use Your Stress.
B．Control Your Stress.
C．The next step is to welcome, or ''own'', your stress.
D．Instead, it's our mind-set about stress that matters most.
E.However, there are also unprecedented opportunities amid the fear.
F.It's also a chance to understand what's at the heart of your personal stress.
G.But later, we will be able to ask ourselves how we each responded to this crisis.

When you’re on a journey to improve health and fitness，surely following the exercise and nutrition advice of
a hot model is the way to go, right? Wrong! 16． The first step to longterm fitness success is to be honest with
yourself.
♦ 17．
Begin to become aware of the language you use. When you say you don't have enough time to exercise, check 39 / 44
in with yourself to make sure you're being honest. Could you be using your time better? Do you really have
absolutely no free time at all?
♦Too tired to exercise?
Unless you’re a professional athlete it’s unlikely that your body is ever too tired to train. However, it could be
neurological (神经的）tiredness that’s talking you out of it. 18．You need to battle this type of tiredness head on.
The secret is to give your brain a break and let your body have a workout. When you’re feeling mentally tired，
walking can help you absorb the fresh air and feel grounded yet disconnected from all the pressures.
♦Routine or no routine?
So regular walking is good. But is fixing a regular exercise routine necessary too? The trick is to find out what
works best for you. If routine makes you feel balanced, then by all accounts create a workout plan. 19．
♦Set goals.
Be honest with yourself and realistic about where you are and where you expect to be. If you're just starting
out, set short-term goals (every few days) so you can experience success sooner and more often. 20． All too often
people quit too quickly when the journey is too long.

Now, according to a recent Brigham Young University study, the amount of time between sunrise and sunset
is the clear winner among other weather variables when it comes to improving your mental and emotional health.
In this unique study-which brought together a psychologist, physicist and statistician-the researchers explored
how someone’s mood is linked to weather and associated factors such as sunshine, cloudy days, temperature, rain
and pollution. The study found that people are more likely to report mental trouble during shorter days with less
sunshine.
It is generally believed that hot days, rainy days or days with thick pollution would make one feel more down
and depressed. But the study came up with a surprising finding. It found that more than any other factor, reduced
sun hours could increase mental distress（痛苦）while soaking up in sun makes things all right. 41 / 44
The results highlighted that the duration（时长）of the daylight was more significant in influencing people’s
moods than the amount of sun rays being absorbed.
“On a rainy day, or a more polluted day, people assume that they’d have more distress. But we didn’t see that.
We looked at solar irradiance（太阳辐照）, or the amount of sunlight that actually hits the ground. We tried to
take into account cloudy days, rainy days pollution… but they washed out. The one thing that was really significant
was the amount of time between sunrise and sunset,” said professor Becker in a press release.
Many studies have attempted to explore the link between the weather and its effect on one’s mood, but the
results were not conclusive. For this study, many important reason were taken into account-making the research an
improvement to the previous ones.
The study concluded that public health should plan on effective strategies that can prevent emotional distress
during periods when the sun time is less, such as in winter months.
12．What will affect your emotion most according to the new study?
A．The surroundings. B．The amount of sunshine.
C．The weather conditions. D．The duration of sunlight.
13．Why does the author think that the new finding in paragraph 3 is surprising?
A．Because it is a conclusion of three scientists.
B．Because it is different from the general belief.
C．Because it is too difficult to understand.
D．Because it is affected by so many factors.
14．Which season benefits people’s emotion more according to this study?
A．Spring. B．Summer.
C．Autumn. D．Winter.
15．What is the purpose of this new study?
A．To find ways to prevent depression.
B．To know more about the weather.
C．To provide strategies for public health.
D．To find how the weather affects mood.
【答案】
12．D 42 / 44
13．B
14．B
15．D
【解析】这是一篇说明文，最新研究表明，日出日落之间的时间长短比各种天气以及人们接收的日照
量更能影响人们的情绪。
12．细节理解题。根据第一段中内容和第二段中 “The study found that people are more likely to report
mental trouble during shorter days with less sunshine.”“研究发现，人们在日照较少的短时间内更容易出现精神
问题。”以及第四段内容可知，这个新研究发现：日照的时间长短是影响人们心情的主要因素。故选 D。
13．推理判断题。根据第三段描述，普遍观念认为，炎热天气，阴雨天气，或污染天气使人情绪低沉，
感到沮丧，而新发现令人惊奇，是因为它发现：相对于其他因素而言，日照时间越短越会令人精神苦闷。
故选 B。
14．推理判断题。这项研究表明：影响人们精神和情绪的主要是日照时间的长短。根据文中最后一句
“… that can prevent emotional distress during periods when the sun time is less, such as in winter months.” 也可判
断出，夏季对人们的精神和情绪最有好处了。故选 B。
15．推理判断。根据倒数第二段内容可知，许多研究都想探索天气与情绪之间的关系，这个新研究考
虑了许多重要因素，使得它在以往的基础上有所改进。所以，这个新研究的目的仍然是探索天气对情绪的
影响。故选 D。

Chefs typically toss（抛）the frying food into the air from deep, rounded pans or woks before catching it
again. Launching rice and its fixings allows a chef to cook it over really hot flames without burning. At times,
temperatures in a pan can reach 1,200。 Celsius. 16．
Scientists found that the chefs relied on a specific pattern of motion. And they repeated those motions about
three times a second. 17． At the same time the wok was rocked to and fro. The chefs used the edge of the stovetop
as a fulcrum（支点）on which to balance as they rocked it.
Cooks use similarly complex patterns of movement to cook up other foods. 18．
Scientists used a computer to simulate（模仿）the tracks of rice that would occur in a wok moved in various
ways. Along the way, the scientists hit on some key coo king tips. The wok moved in various ways. Along the way,
the scientists hit on some key cooking tips. The rocking and sliding motions shouldn’t be done at the same time.
19． Also, the wok’s movements should repeat rapidly. Moving the wok even faster could launch the rice higher. 43 / 44
That might allow cooking at higher temperatures and perhaps a quicker meal.
20． Chefs at Chinese restaurants can struggle with shoulder pain, studies have shown. Rapidly shaking their
heavy woks could be part of the problem. One solution might be a stir-frying robot. It could be built based on their
new found results to take the weight off chefs’ shoulders.
A．But faster shaking may be hard on a cook.
B．To make fried rice like a professional, use science.
C．If they are, the rice won’t mix well and could burn.
D．Each repetition included sliding a wok back and forth.
E.Cooking is hard work that needs patience and perseverance.
F.The high temperature helps create the tastiest stir-fried food.
G.They will turn the pan quickly, for instance, to get smooth, flat egg cakes.
【答案】
16．F
17．D
18．G
19．C
20．A
