【解析】
本文为记叙文。作者在火车上哭泣时，有位女士递给作者一张纸巾并安慰一切都会好起来。
她还鼓励作者随身携带一小包纸巾，以防看到有人哭。
【1 题详解】
考查固定句式及时态。句意：当她把纸巾递给我时，我（正）努力使自己平静下来。“were/was
doing…when…”为固定句式，意为“正要做……这个时候……”。本句叙述的是过去的事，主
语是 I，用 was trying。也可译为“当我在尽力平静进，她把纸巾递给我”，表示动作发生在过
去 ，可用一般过去时，填 tried。故本空填 tried/was trying。
【2 题详解】
考查语境及比较级。句意：不管出了什么问题，都会好起来的。get 为系动词，后面常用形容
词的比较级。根据语境可知，此处是指无论出了什么问题，都会变得更好，因此要用比较，
故填 better。【3 题详解】
考查固定用词。句意：她鼓励我随身携带一小包纸巾，以防我看到有人哭。“inspire sb to
do…”意为“激励某人做某事”，因此空格处要填动词不定式，故填to carry。
B

鼠年生肖邮票，它们寓意着对美好生活的期望。
【4 题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：最近，由中国艺术家韩美林设计了两张特别的邮票。此处是句子谓
语动词，由 recently 判断为现在完成时，主语 stamps 和 design 之间是被动关系，应用现在完
成时的被动语态，故填 have been designed。
5 题详解】
考查定语从句。分析句子可知，此处是非限制性定语从句的关系词，先行词 a leaping rat bit the
sky to create an opening 在从句中充当主语，应用指代物的关系代词，that 不能引导非限制性
定语从句，故填 which。
【6 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，此处应用非谓语动词作定语，逻辑主语 the creativity 和 know
之间是被动关系，应用过去分词，故填 known。

Autumn Peltier is a youth environmentalist who has inspired thousands of students to walk out of
class and demand action on climate change.
When Autumn Peltier was just 8 years old, she attended a ceremony at a reservation where she
saw a sign warning that the water was poisonous. Growing up on a freshwater island in
Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory in Canada, Peltier says she had never experienced poisonous
water. The memory of that sign stayed with her.
Two years later, at the age of 10, Peltier is fighting for water conservation and water rights for
everybody. She says she was inspired by her great aunt, Josephine Mandamin, a well-known activist who walked the shores of all five Great Lakes to raise awareness for water conservation.
When she was 12 in 2015, Peltier met Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, telling him she
was unhappy with his policies on debating pipeline projects. Trudeau promised her he would preserve
the water. Since 2015, 87 long-term water advisories in Canada have been lifted; 56 water advisories
remain.
At middle school, Peltier joined an environmental group at her school and later co-founded the
Canadian Youth Water Strike-a Canadian branch of the international movement to conserve water.
Last year, Peltier spoke at the UN about the importance of water conservation and water access,
explaining the fundamental role water plays in her culture.
“Many people don’t think water is alive or has a spirit. My people believe this to be true. . . . We
believe our water is precious because we are born of water.”
After the speech at the UN, Peltier is joined by a group of teenagers who share similar thoughts.
Her friends include Greta Thunberg, a Swedish girl who drew the world attention through the talk at
World Economic Forum at Davos, Bruno Rodriguez, an Argentinian boy who joined in the UN
Climate Summit, and Mari Copeny, an American girl who is dedicated to the cause of saving water.
Peltier and her friends believe that together they can make a big difference.
Undoubtedly, Peltier’s many years of hard work has paid off. She has greatly raised people’s
awareness of water conservation and taught people to take specific actions to conserve water.
That’s an impressive list of accomplishments for anyone, let alone a middle schooler.
34. How did Peltier feel about the poisonous water when she was 8?
A. Shocked. B. Interested. C. Excited. D. Bored.
35. Who influenced Peltier to start water conservation?
A. UN officials. B. Trudeau. C. Mandamin. D. Thunberg.
36. What does Peltier expect to do in the future?
A. To make more friends. B. To protect more water.
C. To attend more summits. D. To organize more strikes.
37. What can we learn from Autumn Peltier’s story?
A. World leaders can contribute to success.
B. Environment is Canadians’major concern.
C. Fame comes from attending great summits.D. Achievements result from continuous effort.
【答案】34. A 35. C 36. B 37. D
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了加拿大女孩佩尔蒂尔多年来一直致力于保护水资源，她的事迹激
励了无数人行动起来保护水资源。
【34 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Peltier says she had never experienced poisonous water. The
memory of that sign stayed with her.”可知，佩尔蒂尔说自己从未看到过有毒的水，因此“水有
毒”的警告标志一直让她印象深刻，由此判断出，看到“水有毒”的警告标志时，佩尔蒂尔
感到非常震惊，故 A 项正确。
【35 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中 “Two years later, at the age of 10, Peltier is fighting for water
conservation and water rights for everybody. She says she was inspired by her great aunt, Josephine
Mandamin”可知，十岁时，佩尔蒂尔为水源保护和人人享有用水权而奋斗，她说她是受到姨
妈约瑟芬·曼达敏的激励（影响），故 C 项正确。
【36 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“After the speech at the UN, Peltier is joined by a group of teenagers
who share similar thoughts.”及“Peltier and her friends believe that together they can make a big
difference.”可知，在联合国的演讲结束后，佩尔蒂尔加入了一群有着相似想法（共同目标）的
青少年的行列中，他们相信他们在一起努力可以产生很大的影响，由此判断出，以后佩尔蒂
尔会致力于保护更多的水资源，故 B 项正确。
【37 题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段“Autumn Peltier is a youth environmentalist who has
inspired thousands of students to walk out of class and demand action on climate change.”及倒数第
二 段 “Undoubtedly, Peltier’s many years of hard work has paid off. She has greatly raised
people’s awareness of water conservation and taught people to take specific actions to conserve
water.”可知，由此可知，本文主要讲述的是加拿大女孩佩尔蒂尔多年来一直致力于保护水资源，
她多年的努力最终取得了回报——她的行为激励了无数人行动起来保护水资源，因此，从佩
尔蒂尔的事迹中我们能够学到：成就是不断努力的结果（不断努力，终会取得成就），故 D 项
正确。
的C
Infectious diseases and associated deaths have reduced, but they remain a significant threat
throughout the world. Infectious diseases outbreaks and the fear and panic that accompany them
present various economic risks.
First, there are costs to the health system, both public and private, of medical treatment of the
infected and of outbreak control. Concern over the spread of a relatively contained outbreak can lead
to decreased trade. Travel and tourism to regions affected by outbreaks are also likely to decline. Some
long-running outbreaks, such as HIV, prevent foreign direct investment.
The economic risks are large. It is estimated that the expected yearly cost of infectious diseases is
at roughly $500 billion. Even when the health impact of an outbreak is relatively limited, its economic
consequences can quickly become expanded. Liberia, for example, saw GDP growth decline 8
percentages from 2013 to 2014 during the Ebola outbreak in Africa.
The risk is complex, but policymakers have tools in response.
Investing in improved health care, supply of clean water, and better health systems can reduce the
frequency of human contact with viruses. Investment in reliable disease monitoring in both human and
animal populations is also critical. Within formal global watch systems, instead of discouraging
reporting possible outbreaks, it may be beneficial to develop incentives for reporting suspected cases,
as countries may reasonably fear the effects of such reporting on trade, tourism, and other economic
outcomes. Informal monitoring systems, social media for example, which collect information from
official reports, media reports, online discussions, and eyewitness observations, can also help national
health systems and international responders get ahead of the outbreak news during the early stages.
Cooperations for monitoring infectious diseases readiness at the national level provide information
national governments can use to react timely to their outbreaks.
There is a significant market failure when it comes to vaccines (疫苗) against individual
low-probability viruses that collectively are likely to cause panic. Given the low probability that any
single vaccine of this type will be needed, high Research and Development (R&D) costs, and delayed
returns, medical companies hesitate to invest in their development. However, responsible international
corporations such as CFPI can overcome this market failure. Its goals include advancing candidate
vaccines against specific low-probability, high-severity viruses through proof of concept to enable
rapid clinical testing in the event of outbreaks. It also aims to fund development of institutional and technical platforms to speed R&D in response to outbreaks for which there are no vaccines.
Undoubtedly, humans and infectious viruses will coexist. However, we can take effective
measures to manage the risk of the diseases. Joint action now at the local, national, and multinational
levels can go a long way toward protecting our collective well-being in the future.
38. What does the underlined word ''incentives'' in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Habits. B. Opinions.
C. Arguments D. Rewards.
39. CFPI is a special company which
A. is able to predict the trend of the market
B. develops vaccines against infectious viruses
C. makes huge profits by selling general medicine
D. employs staff who graduate from famous universities
40. What does the passage imply?
A. More importance should be attached to health care systems.
B. All-level cooperations are required to handle infectious diseases.
C. It will not be long before mankind thoroughly defeats the viruses.
D. Technologies hold the key to the settlement of medical problems.
41. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Health Risks and Research of Infectious Diseases
B. Global Cooperation and Spread of Infectious Diseases
C. Economic Impact and Solutions of Infectious Diseases
D. Medical Service and Development of Infectious Diseases

“Jewel wings fly around like little helicopters until they see preys (猎物), usually smaller flying
insects,” said Bellido, a biologist at the University of Minnesota. “Then they dash at their meals in a
burst of speed.”
You might mistake jewel wings for their cousins, dragonflies. New research shows that these two
insects share something more significant than their appearance, however. In a paper published in
Current Biology, Dr. Bellido and the dragonfly colleagues reveal that the neural (神经的) systems
behind jewel wings’ vision are shared with dragonflies, with whom they have a common ancestor that
lived before dinosaurs. But over the centuries, this brain wiring has adapted itself in different ways in
each creature, enabling sharply different hunting strategies.
Jewel wings’ behavior involves attacking what’s directly in front of them, the team found. But
recordings made in the lab by Dr. Gonzalez and her colleagues confirmed that dragonflies rise up in a
straight line to seize unsuspecting insects from below. Researchers are particularly interested in the
neurons (神经元) that send visual information to the wings.
To look closer at the neurons linking vision and flight, the researchers equipped jewel wings with
sensors and showed them a video of a moving dot, comparing it with earlier dragonfly research. When
a neuron fired, a popping sound filled the researchers’ ears, allowing them to tell exactly which
movements-left, right, up, down or some combination-each neuron responded to. Jewel wings best see
what’s right in front of them, they found, while dragonflies’ clearest vision is just above them.The team was interested to find that while jewel wings’ neurons didn’t always respond like those
in dragonflies, the number of neurons and organization were similar. That suggests that the system that
conveys this information from the eyes to the wing muscles did not evolve recently, but has roots that
are millions of years older than the oldest dinosaurs. And that ancient common ancestor likely had
already developed remarkable speed in both vision and flight. Then, in the following years, the system
has evolved to suit individual insect species.
This shared neural system may be more than 250 million years old, but it is also flexible enough
to transform itself to meet the needs of a variety of creatures in different eras and environments, the
findings suggest.
42. Jewel wings usually catch their meals ________ them.
A. on the right of B. on the left of
C. straight ahead of D. at the back of
43. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. What actions jewel wings take to catch preys.
B. How jewel wings ‘neurons respond to vision.
C. When jewel wings start to hunt for their preys.
D. Where researchers did the research into jewel wings.
44. What can we learn about dragonflies and jewel wings from the passage?
A. The two insects possess similar neural systems.
B. Jewel wings’ vision is sharper than dragonflies’.
C. Dragonflies ‘brain wiring is the same with jewel wings’.
D. The oldest dinosaurs react as rapidly as the two insects.
45. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To analyse the habits of two similar insects.
B. To tell the difference between dragonflies and jewel wings.
C. To assess the effects of different insects ‘hunting strategies.

of them, the team found.”和第四段的最后的一句“Jewel wings best see what’s right in front of
them, they found, while dragonflies’ clearest vision is just above them.”可知，该团队发现豆娘的行
为包括了袭击刚好在它们前面的物体，豆娘最好的视觉就是这个物体刚刚好在它们前面，然
后蜻蜓最清晰的视觉恰好是在它们上面。由此可见，豆娘通常可以抓住刚好在它们前面的食
物。结合选项可知，C 选项正确。
【43 题详解】
主旨大意题。由第四段的第一句“To look closer at the neurons linking vision and flight, the
researchers equipped jewel wings with sensors and showed them a video of a moving dot, comparing
it with earlier dragonfly research.When a neuron fired, a popping sound filled the researchers’ ears,
allowing them to tell exactly which movements-left, right, up, down or some combination-each
neuron responded to. Jewel wings best see what’s right in front of them, they found, while
dragonflies’ clearest vision is just above them.”可知，为了更近距离地观察连接视觉和飞行的神
经元，研究人员在豆娘上安装了传感器，并向它们播放了一个移动点的视频，将其与早期的
蜻蜓研究进行了比较。当一个神经元被激发时，研究人员的耳朵里充满了爆裂的声音，让他
们准确地分辨出每个神经元对哪个动作有反应——左、右、上、下或者某种组合。 他们发现，
豆娘最能看清眼前的东西，而蜻蜓最清晰的视野就在它们的上方。由此可知，本段主要是在
介绍豆娘的神经元对视觉是如何反应的。故 B 选项正确。

【45 题详解】
推理判断题。由整篇文章内容可知，第二段的第三句“In a paper published in Current Biology,
Dr. Bellido and the dragonfly colleagues reveal that the neural (神经的) systems behind jewel wings’ vision are shared with dragonflies, with whom they have a common ancestor that lived before
dinosaurs.” 表示的是在《当代生物学》杂志上发表的一篇论文中，伯利多博士和他的蜻蜓同事
们揭示了豆娘视觉背后的神经系统与蜻蜓是共享的，它们有一个共同的祖先，生活在恐龙之
前。第三段最后一句“Researchers are particularly interested in the neurons (神经元) that send
visual information to the wings.”表示的是研究者们特别对发送视觉信息给豆娘的神经元感兴趣。
第四段的第一句“To look closer at the neurons linking vision and flight, the researchers equipped
jewel wings with sensors and showed them a video of a moving dot, comparing it with earlier
dragonfly research.”表示的是为了更靠近地观察这些神经元将视觉和飞行连接起来的功能，研
究者们和早期的蜻蜓研究对比，给豆娘装上了传感器，并且向它们展示了一段移动点的视频。
以及第五段的“The team was interested to find that while jewel wings’ neurons didn’t always
respond like those in dragonflies, the number of neurons and organization were similar.” 表示的是
该团队有趣地发现虽然豆娘的神经元不总是像蜻蜓的神经元那样反应，但是它们的神经元数
量和结构是相似的。由此可见，本文首先介绍豆娘的视觉神经系统和蜻蜓的是共享的，紧接
着研究人员深入地去观察神经元和视觉之间具体的联系，最后又发现了它们神经元数量和结
构的相似性。由此判断出这篇文章的主要目的是介绍两种昆虫神经系统的研究结果。故 D 选
项正确。

两项为多余选项。
As the manager for a newly formed team, you want to help your team members get to an effective
and high-performing state as quickly as possible.
____46____ His original model identified four stages that all groups pass through as they move
from “newly formed” to “high-performance” teams. Those stages are Forming, Storming, Norming,
and Performing.
During the Forming stage, members of the project team meet each other and learn about the tasks
they need to perform. ____47____ During this stage, it is critical for the project manager to provide
structure and direction for the team. Clearly defining the project’s objectives and making sure each
team member understands their role and responsibilities will help you lead the team through this stage
successfully.
The Storming stage is characterized by interpersonal issues such as conflicts. During this stage it is common for team members to challenge each other, including the project manager! Team members
may also question what they are doing and how it is being done. As the project manager, this will
likely be the most challenging time leading your project. Understanding that this type of conflict is
normal for any team will help you pass through this stage successfully. During this stage, some of the
skills that help you build your team are conflict management, active listening, and relationship
building. ____48____
As conflicts become less intense and the team members begin to understand and accept each
other, the team will gradually move into the Norming stage. It is during this stage that your team starts
to come together and is able to focus more effectively on the project tasks and objectives. ____49____
Communication and constructive response help you do this. You can continue your team building
efforts by arranging social events with the team and making sure to give positive recognition to team
members.
____50____ Interpersonal and structural issues have been settled and support task performance.
Team performance is high during this stage.
A. It is also important for you to be confident and positive.
B. Several researchers put forward different theories.
C. In the Performing stage, team members are comfortable with each other.
D. Your behavior has a huge influence on your team members.
E. One of the most influential theories was developed by Bruce Tuckman.
F. You need to focus on keeping everyone moving in the right direction.
G. Team members try to see how they fit in and understand what is expected.
【答案】46. E 47. G 48. A 49. F 50. C
【解析】

from ‘newly formed’ to ‘high-performance’ teams.”可知，他的原始模型确定了所有团队从“新组
建”到“高绩效”团队所经历的四个阶段。E 项“最有影响力的理论之一是布鲁斯·塔克曼提出的”
引起下文，E 项中的“Bruce Tuckman”与下文的“His”相呼应，符合语境。故选 E 项。【47 题详解】
根据前一句“During the Forming stage, members of the project team meet each other and learn
about the tasks they need to perform.”可知，在形成阶段，项目组成员互相见面，了解他们需要
执行的任务。G 项“团队成员试图了解他们如何融入其中，并了解预期情况”承接上文，G 项
中的“Team members”和“ understand what is expected”与上文的“ members of the project
team”和“learn about the tasks they need to perform”相呼应，符合语境。故选 G 项。
【48 题详解】
根 据 前 一 句 “During this stage, some of the skills that help you build your team are conflict
management, active listening, and relationship building.”可知，在此阶段，帮助你建立团队的一
些技能包括冲突管理、积极倾听和建立关系。A 项“对你来说自信和积极也是很重要的”承接
上文，A 项中的“confident and positive”与上文的“skills”相呼应，符合语境。故选 A 项。
【49 题详解】
根据后一句“Communication and constructive response help you do this.”可知，沟通和建设性的
回应有助于你做到这一点。F 项“你需要集中精力让每个人都朝着正确的方向前进”承上启下，
下文的 this 指 F 项内容，符合语境。故选 F 项。
【50 题详解】
根据下文的“Team performance is high during this stage.”可知，在这个阶段团队表现很好。C
项“在表演阶段，团队成员彼此相处融洽”引起下文。根据上文“ Those stages are Forming,
Storming, Norming, and Performing.”可知，上文已解释前三个阶段，所以最后一段讲表演阶段，
所以 C 项符合语境。故选 C 项。

【答案】Dear Jim,
I'm very excited to hear that you are coming to study in China and I'm happy to talk about the use
of mobile payment here.
In present China, mobile payment, including Alipay and WeChat, is widely used. Rather than
carrying cash or bank cards in their bags, people can simply go out with their smart phones and scan a
QR code to pay for a meal, shop in supermarkets or take public transport. People even send ''lucky
money'' (also known as ''red packet'') to their families and friends using WeChat.
The application of mobile payment has brought great convenience to our daily life. For one, it
saves the time and trouble of giving changes in stores; for another, people needn't worry about
bringing their wallets. Once you've arrived in China, I'll help you link a bank card to your phone and
you can start using mobile payment immediately.
Looking forward to seeing you.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】 Last week, I received a WeChat message from our school, calling on all the senior
students to show our gratitude and love to the medical staff who were fighting against COVID-19 in
the front line.
Inspired by this idea, my classmates and I decided to make an MV for the doctors and nurses.
Due to the epidemic situation, we discussed about the details on WeChat: some of us performed the
song, some edited the video and others posted the MV online or on Microblog. To pay our tribute,
we named it “Grateful heart”.To our great surprise, our MV aroused wide attention on Microblog. We received tons of likes,
meanwhile, the mv was shared over ten thousand times! Beyond our expectations, we even received
messages from front-line medical staff. Doctor Zhang and nurse Zhao saw our video and thanked us
for our support. As students, though our contribution is limited in the fight against the virus, we felt
extremely proud that our small act could send warm to the staff.
