第一部分：知识运用（共两节，45 分）
第一节 语法填空（共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，共 15 分）
A
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1 个适当的单词，在给出
提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
During a trip to New York City, Alabama woman Mary Anderson ___1___ (notice) a trolley
driver couldn’t see well when it was snowing. At that point, drivers had to open the window ___2___
(clear) it, letting snow and rain into the vehicle. As a solution, Anderson designed and patented wood
and rubber arms ___3___ would push rain and snow off the window at the pull of a lever (控制杆).
But she was told her ___4___ (invent) was distracting and impractical, and she never profited from her
design.
【答案】1. noticed
2. to clear
3. that/which
4. invention
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。该段落主要描写了 Mary Anderson 发明汽车挡风玻璃雨刮器，但被认为是不
切实际的发明。
【1 题详解】
考查时态。句意：在去纽约的旅途中，阿拉巴马州的妇女玛丽·安德森注意到一名电车司机在
下雪时看不清东西。根据前一句“During a trip to New York City,在去纽约的路上…”可知notice
这个动作是过去发生的，要使用一般过去时。故填 noticed。
【2 题详解】
考查不定式。句意：就在那时，司机不得不打开窗户去清理它。根据句意可知，打开窗户的
目的是“清理”，即使用不定式做目的状语。故填to clear。【3 题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：作为解决方法，Anderson 设计了一个木质的橡胶手臂并申请专利，这
个手臂可以通过控制杆将车窗上的雨和雪推掉。该句为定语从句，先行词为 wood and rubber
arms，并在从句中做主语，应由关系代词 that\which 引导。故填 that\which.
【4 题详解】
考查名词。句意：但是她被告知她的发明会分散司机注意力，不切实际。本题中 invite 前为形
容词性物主代词 her，其后要接名词，所以将 invent 变为 invention。故填 invention。
B
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词 空白处仅填写 1 个适当的单词，在给出
提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

In China, it spends the warmer months in the rivers and wetlands in the north-east. ___7___ the
weather gets cold, it migrates to east-central China. The red-crowned crane is a symbol of long life and
good luck in Chinese culture.
【答案】5. largest
6. is found/has been found
7. When/As
【解析】
本文是说明文。介绍了丹顶鹤的外观，栖息地和象征意义。
【5 题详解】
考查最高级。此处是 one of 句型，表示“最……之一”，其中形容词用最高级。故填largest。
【6 题详解】
考查被动语态。句中主语 The red-crowned crane 是单数，和动词 find 是被动关系。此处表示丹
顶鹤在中国、俄罗斯、蒙古、日本和朝鲜半岛被发现，既可表示过去发生的事，也可以指到
现在为止在这些地方被发现，用现在完成时。故填 is found/has been found。
【7 题详解】
考查连词。句意：当天气变冷时，它迁移到中国的中东部。此处表示“当……时候”，引导时
的间状语从句，故填 When/As。
C
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1 个适当的单词，在给出
提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
Nearly two decades have passed since China sent the first Beidou satellite into space in 2000.

and messaging ___9___ (service) to people in China and other parts of the Asia-Pacific region. At the
end of 2018, BDS started to serve users worldwide. Now with two more Beidou satellites ____10____
(launch) on Dec 16, 2019, BDS has 53 satellites in orbit.
【答案】8. forming
9. services
10. launched
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了自 2000 年中国将第一颗北斗卫星送入太空以来，已经过去了近
20 年。在此期间，更多的北斗卫星被送入轨道，形成北斗导航卫星系统。文章还说明了从 2012
年底到 2019 年期间，北斗系统能提供的功能和完善情况。
【8 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在此期间，更多的北斗卫星被送入轨道，形成北斗导航卫星系统。
分析句子结构，form 与其逻辑主语 Beidou satellites 之间是主动关系，用现在分词作结果
状语。故填 forming。
【9 题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：2012 年底，该公司开始向中国和亚太地区其他地区的用户提供定位、
导航、定时和短信服务。service 为可数名词，根据上文 positioning, navigation, timing and
messaging 可知此处服务不止一种，故应用名词复数形式。故填 services。
【10 题详解】
考查 with 复合结构。句意：2019 年 12 月 16 日，北斗系统又发射了两颗北斗卫星，现有 53
颗在轨卫星。这里是 with 复合结构，因为“北斗卫星”和“发射”之间是被动关系，所以用
with + n + 过去分词结构，所以填 launched。第二节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，共 30 分）
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳

My Boxing Experience
This year I joined boxing class. My friend Lea and I were the only ____11____ in the class.
We got to throw our first punches (拳击) and learned how we should stand. I still didn’t know how to

teacher, made us work hard and sweat. The boxing pads (拳击护具) were my favorite, but my punches
weren’t ____12____ enough.
After participating in more practices, we had learned how to punch in six different ways. The
boys were improving a lot on their strength, and Lea with her speed, and me? Well, I had a hard time
seeing the ____13____. Mr. Vernon would always tell me that practice would make me stronger, and
this is what helped motivate me to ____14____.
Each practice there was at least one boy who would ____15____ me and say, “Oh you’re too
short to box. Mr. Vernon has to ____16____ down when you are on the boxing pads; oh you’re not
strong enough; you punch like a mouse.”
I know those comments were not to ____17____ me, but just to have fun. It’s true, I’m a small
and short person and I did lack confidence; but hearing those comments can either bring you
____18____, or make you feel motivated to show them they are ____19____. In my case, they started
to discourage me. I didn’t have the strength to think they were wrong, and a part of me thought that
they were speaking the ____20____. I hid it inside my heart because I thought that showing that I was
____21____ myself would make it worse.
I remember one particular practice where I was mad and angry, and my punches suddenly felt
stronger and faster. I was ____22____, yet I had a feeling in me that it was there all along. I just didn’t
have that ____23____ in me. After practice, Mr. Vernon pointed out that I was getting stronger and
better, which really made me feel more ____24____ and showed me that what the others were saying
about me was wrong. I had ____25____ found the strength I needed. The following practices, Mr.
Vernon was impressed with my hooks and uppercuts, because they were getting ____26____.
This experience taught me that boxing requires a lot of work and effort, but it also taught me not
to feel ____27____ about what people say. If you focus on your strong points and improve on your ____28____ ones, there is no reason for you to feel disappointed. Boxing taught me how to fight, and
defend myself physically and mentally, and show that short girls can do anything if they have the
____29____ to prove people wrong. Being short doesn’t ____30____ me and definitely does not limit
me from doing things that tall or stronger people can do.

A struggling Waffle House employee who was trying to serve nearly 30 people by himself after
midnight got a full serving of kindness when some customers jumped behind the counter to help him.
Ethan Crispo, 24, witnessed the inspiring scene in the early hours of Nov. 3 at a Waffle House in
Birmingham, Alabama.
Crispo told TODAY’s Kerry Sanders that he had come to the 24-hour restaurant from a friend’s
birthday party and saw the struggling employee, identified only as Ben, trying to cook the food, serve
it, bus tables and wash dishes while more than 25 people were waiting to eat.“The look on his face was just confusion,” Crispo told Sanders.
An unidentified male customer then decided to help him out, grabbing an apron and going behind
the counter to wash dishes.
Another customer, Alison Stanley, went behind the counter to make some coffee—still dressed
from a night out on the town.
“I don’t think it’s anything special,” Stanley told Sanders. “He needed help, so I got up and
helped out.”
Crispo took some photos of the scene as multiple customers worked to bus tables and wash dishes
while Ben focused on taking orders and preparing the food.
Waffle House told TODAY that Ben was left to support himself due to a scheduling issue.
“We had two associates scheduled to leave, however, due to a communication mix-up, their relief
did not show up on time,” Waffle House director of PR Pat Warner said in a statement. “That left Ben,
our cook, alone in the restaurant with hungry customers. He worked the grill (烤架) and got the orders
out.”
The company was also thankful for the customers who joined in and helped Ben out.
“We are grateful that many of our customers feel like they are part of our Waffle House family,”
Warner said. “There is a sense of community in each and every one of our restaurants, and we
appreciate the fact that they consider our associates like family.”
“We are also very thankful for Ben, who kept the restaurant open. He is a representative of our
Waffle House culture by always putting the customers first.”
Crispo had his usual order, double plain waffle, as he took in the scene of strangers helping out
Ben on his shift.
“Humanity truly isn’t good, it’s great!” he said.
34. Ben was left to work alone during his midnight shift because ________.
A. his associates asked for a leave B. there was a scheduling mistake
C. few customers needed to be served D. the restaurant was scheduled to close
35. Some customers helped Ben out by ________.

C. They wanted to serve themselves. D. They were too hungry to wait.
37. How did Crispo feel as a witness of the scene?
A. Lucky and excited. B. Moved and inspired.

【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了一家华夫饼屋由于人员安排的失误，导致只剩一名员工招
待顾客，鉴于此，顾客们纷纷主动帮助员工。
【34 题详解】
推 理 判 断 题 。 由 第 十 段 “We had two associates scheduled to leave, however, due to a
communication mix-up, their relief did not show up on time,” Waffle House director of PR Pat Warner
said in a statement. “That left Ben, our cook, alone in the restaurant with hungry customers. He
worked the grill (烤架) and got the orders out.”可知，华夫饼屋公关总监帕特·沃纳在一份声明
中称:“我们有两名员工计划离开，但由于沟通失误，他们换班着没有及时出现。这就剩下我
们的厨师本和饥饿的顾客们在餐厅里。他既要负责烤架还要负责订单了。”由此判断出，因
为换班人员的安排出了问题，导致 Ben 一个人在工作，故选 B 项。
【35 题详解】
细节理解题。由第五段“An unidentified male customer then decided to help him out, grabbing an
apron and going behind the counter to wash dishes.”和第八段“ Crispo took some photos of the
scene as multiple customers worked to bus tables and wash dishes while Ben focused on taking orders
and preparing the food.”可知，“一位身份不明的男性顾客决定帮他一把，抓起围裙，跑到柜
台后面洗盘子。”“克里斯波拍下了现场的一些照片，当时许多顾客都在清理桌子和洗碗，
而本则在专心点单和准备食物”。由此可见，一些顾客帮忙洗盘子，收拾桌子。故选A 项。
【36 题详解】
推理判断题。由第十二段“We are grateful that many of our customers feel like they are part of our
Waffle House family,” Warner said. “There is a sense of community in each and every one of our
restaurants, and we appreciate the fact that they consider our associates like family.”可知，“很多顾
客觉得自己是我们华夫饼屋的一份子，对此我们很感激，”华纳说。“我们的每一家餐厅都有一种社区意识，我们很感激他们把我们的员工当成家人。”由此可见，店里的顾客将自己
视为华夫饼屋的成员，大家都有一种社区意识，彼此互相帮忙。故选 A 项。
【37 题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“Ethan Crispo, 24, witnessed the inspiring scene in the early
hours of Nov. 3 at a Waffle House in Birmingham, Alabama.”11 月 3 日凌晨，24 岁的克里斯
波在阿拉巴马州伯明翰的一家华夫饼屋目睹了这令人振奋的一幕。最后一段“Humanity truly
isn’t good, it’s great!”可知，克里斯波认为：人性不是好，是伟大！由此判断出他目睹了这一
切，被感动，被激励，发出了对人性的感叹。故选 B 项。
【点睛】细节理解题顾名思义要抓住细节，将原文的细节信息跟题目和题干进行比对，选出
正确选项。例如第 2 题，题目问：一些顾客怎样帮助本？由第五段“An unidentified male customer
then decided to help him out, grabbing an apron and going behind the counter to wash dishes.”和第八
段“Crispo took some photos of the scene as multiple customers worked to bus tables and wash
dishes while Ben focused on taking orders and preparing the food.”可知，“一位身份不明的男性
顾客决定帮他一把，抓起围裙，跑到柜台后面洗盘子。”“克里斯波拍下了现场的一些照片，
当时许多顾客都在清理桌子和洗碗，而本则在专心点单和准备食物”。由此可见，一些顾客帮
忙洗盘子，收拾桌子。故选 A 项。
C
Chicken is America’s most popular meat. Many people assume chicken follows a simple
rule-of-thumb: Pink chicken turned white means “done.” It’s similar to how we cook other meats. But
is this true? To study how cooks at home follow safety recommendations, researchers filmed 75
households in five European countries. From a random but nonrepresentative sample, they also
conducted an online survey of nearly 4,000 households in the same countries that say they cook
chicken.
Worried that chicken would dry out, most home cooks determined doneness by color and texture
(口感) inside the meat, they found. Few bothered with thermometers (温度计), claiming they took too
much time, were too complicated to use, didn’t fit in the chicken or weren’t necessary (although
easy-to-use thermometers are inexpensive and widely available).
In additional lab experiments, the scientists injected raw chicken breast with bacteria (细菌),
which cause millions of sicknesses, thousands of hospitalizations and hundreds of deaths each year in
the United States. They cooked the breasts until they reached core temperatures ranging from 122 to 158 Fahrenheit, and they discovered something surprising. At 158 degrees, but not lower, bacteria
inside the chickens’ cores was reduced to safe levels, and when cut open its flesh appeared dull and
fibrous, not shiny like raw chicken. But meat began changing from pink to white far below this, and
most color change occurred below 131 degrees Fahrenheit. Sometimes, the chicken’s core would be
safely cooked, but unsafe levels of bacteria still existed on surfaces that hadn’t touched the grill plate.
So what are you supposed to do?
Dr. Bruno Goussault, a scientist and chef, recommends buying and cooking breasts and legs
separately. Bring the breast’s core to 165 degrees Fahrenheit, he said, and the leg to between 168.8 and
172.4 Fahrenheit. If you really want to safely measure temperature for a whole chicken, insert a
pop-up thermometer into the thickest part of the leg before roasting it, Dr. Goussault suggests. By the
time it pops, the breasts will have long cooked. They will likely be dry and far from his standards of
culinary (烹饪的) perfection. But you’ll be sure to, as Dr. Goussault says in French, “dormir sur ses
deux oreilles,” or, figuratively, “sleep peacefully.”
38. Why didn’t home cooks measure temperature with a thermometer?
A. They could not afford it. B. It affected the taste of the meat.
C. It was not available in supermarkets. D. They thought it was too much trouble.
39. In lab experiments, when the temperature reached 158 Fahrenheit, the meat .
A. was free of bacteria B. still remained pink
C. appeared to dry out D. was reduced in size
40. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A. The meat does not taste best when bacteria free.
B. The leg becomes fully cooked before the breast.
C. A whole chicken requires a higher temperature.
D. The thermometer should be placed inside the breast.
41. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Food safety. B. Simple lifestyle.
C. Cooking skills. D. Kitchen equipment.
【答案】38. D 39. C 40. A 41. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，文章通过描述科学家所做的鸡胸和鸡腿的烹饪温度的测量实验，说明如何
烹饪鸡肉才是安全的。
【38 题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段 Few bothered with thermometers (温度计), claiming they took too
much time, were too complicated to use,didn’t fit in the chicken or weren’t necessary.很少有人为温
度计费心，宣称他们花费了太多的时间，太复杂而不能使用，不适合鸡肉也没必要。可知，

【39 题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段 At 158 degrees, but not lower, bacteria inside the chickens’ cores was
reduced to safe levels, and when cut open its flesh appeared dull and fibrous, not shiny like raw
chicken.在 158 度时，但不是更低，鸡核心的细菌降到了安全水平，当被切开时，鸡肉显得枯
燥和纤维状，不像生鸡肉肉质那么光滑。可知，到了 158 度时，鸡肉会显得干燥和纤维状，
与选项 C 内容相符，故选 C 项。
【40 题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段 Bring the breast’s core to 165 degrees Fahrenheit, he said, and the leg to

Upskilling is the future—but it must work for everyone
Automation and job replacement will be one of the most significant challenges for the global
economy of the coming decades. A 2017 Mckinsey report established that 375 million workers will
need to switch occupational categories by 2030. The World Economic Forum suggests that by 2022,
automation will replace 75 million jobs globally—but create 133 million new ones.
Research into the likelihood that a job will be impacted by digitization has largely focused on the
“automatability” of the role and the following economic regional and political effects of this. What
this research doesn’t take into account is something more important for the millions of taxi drivers and
retail workers across the globe: their likelihood of being able to change to another job that isn’t
automatable. Recent research suggests that the answer to this may be that the skills that enable workers
to move up the ladder to more complex roles within their current areas might be less important than
broader skills that will enable workers to change across divisions.
In July, Amazon announced that it would spend $700 million retraining around 30% of its
300,000 US workforce. While praiseworthy, it will be interesting to see the outcome. In the UK, the
National Retraining Scheme has largely been led by employers, meaning that those on zero-hours
contracts and part-time workers—often low-skilled—will miss out. Governance will be a crucial
element of ensuring that such schemes focus on individuals and life-long learning, rather than
upskilling workers into roles that will soon also face automation.
According to the Mckinsey report, “growing awareness of the scale of the task ahead has yet to
translate into action. Public spending on labour-force training and support has fallen for years in most
member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development,” which impacts
more than just the low-skilled and poorly compensated.
The global impact of automation is also put into relief by research demonstrating that, between
1988 and 2015, income inequality increased throughout the world. Billions of people do not have the
essentials of life as defined by the UN Sustainable Development goals.
Alongside climate change, automation is arguably tech’s biggest challenge. As with
globalization, governments and employers—and us workers—ignore its potential consequences at
risk to ourselves.42. It can be known from Paragraph 2 that .
A. recent research has found ways to face automation
B. broad skills are of great significance in changing jobs
C. regional economy can affect the automatability of a job
D. it is even harder for workers to move up the social ladder
43. What is the author’s attitude towards retraining programs?
A. Supportive. B. Critical.
C. Skeptical. D. Sympathetic.
44. According to the author, what is one consequence of automation?
A. Less spending on training. B. A slowdown of globalization.
C. Social unrest and instability. D. An increase in income inequality.
45. The passage is written to .
A. argue the urgency of creating new jobs B. compare globalization with automation
C. analyze the automatability of certain jobs D. stress the importance of upskilling
workers
【答案】42. B 43. C 44. D 45. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了自动化和就业替代将是未来几十年全球经济面临的最重大
挑战之一，而要应对这一趋势，当务之急是提高自身技能，尤其是跨部门跳槽所需的广泛技
能。文章说明了再培训项目存在的问题，指出除了气候变化，自动化可以说是科技面临的最
大挑战。就像全球化一样，政府和雇主——以及美国工人——忽视了全球化对我们自身的潜
在影响。
【42 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中 Recent research suggests that the answer to this may be that the skills
that enable workers to move up the ladder to more complex roles within their current areas might be
less important than broader skills that will enable workers to change across divisions.可知最近的研
究表明，这个问题的答案可能是，使工人能够在其目前的领域内晋升到更复杂的角色的技能，
可能不如使工人能够跨部门转换的更广泛的技能重要。由此可知，广泛的技能在换工作中是
非常重要的。故选 B。
【43 题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中 In the UK, the National Retraining Scheme has largely been led by
employers, meaning that those on zero-hours contracts and part-time workers—often
low-skilled—will miss out.可知在英国，国家再培训计划在很大程度上是由雇主主导的，这意味
着那些签订零时合同的人和兼职工人——往往技能低下——将会错过机会。由此可推知，作
者对再培训计划持怀疑态度。故选 C。
【44 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中 The global impact of automation is also put into relief by research
demonstrating that, between 1988 and 2015, income inequality increased throughout the world.可知
研究表明，1988 年至 2015 年期间，世界各地的收入不平等现象加剧，这也让自动化对全球的
影响得到了缓解。由此可推知，作者认为自动化的一个后果是收入不平等加剧。故选 D。
【45 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章标题 Upskilling is the future—but it must work for everyone(技能提升是未
来的趋势，但它必须适用于每个人)结合文章主要说明了自动化和就业替代将是未来几十年全

选 D。
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有
两项为多余选项。
The world is full of distractions. Unfortunately, the world also requires us to work. Coping with
the first while still doing enough of the second is … sorry, where am I?
Ah, yes, the world is full of distractions. If you work in an office, it might be emails, phone calls
or colleagues with questions to ask. If you are at home, it might be the contents of the fridge or a
sudden fixation on dust mites (尘螨) under the sofa. Sometimes it takes even less. If you are sitting
and doing work and someone near you says something particularly interesting, that can pull your
focus. ___46___
So, how can we stay focused in our wandering minds? ____47____ And put your smartphone and
other irrelevant screens away—they attract our attention even if they are off. If you tend to pop on headphones and use music to shut out distractions, avoid listening to anything familiar. Knowing the
words or tune well will distract you even more.
___48___ If you are doing something repetitive like stuffing envelopes or laying bricks, being
distracted by listening to music or a podcast or engaging in a conversation with a co-worker can
ultimately boost productivity. ____49____ Jihae Shin, now at the university of Wisconsin-Madison,
has found that when people played Minesweeper for five minutes before coming up with new business
ideas, they were more creative than those who didn’t play.
___50___ In general, this is the enemy of productivity: it encourages mistakes, stops us from
completing things, promotes forgetfulness and lowers the quality of writing. But when we are trying to
come up with creative solutions, task-switching distractions can help prevent "cognitive fixation" on
ineffective approaches. So if you are a creative type, try lining up two or more tasks and spend your
day switching between them. Or if that doesn’t work, just go play with your phone.
A. Not all distractions are bad, however.
B. Switching between tasks can also help.
C. Creativity can benefit from distraction too.
D. Switching off email or messaging services helps.
E. But you are not good at dealing with distractions.
F. If you have trouble concentrating, I suggest you try the following ideas.
G. If you are not careful, you will end up your day with nothing accomplished.
【答案】46. G 47. D 48. A 49. C 50. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。这个世界充满了干扰。不幸的是，世界也需要我们工作。文章就如何在走
神的时候保持专注提出了一些建议。
【46 题详解】
根据上文 If you work in an office, it might be emails, phone calls or colleagues with questions to ask.
If you are at home, it might be the contents of the fridge or a sudden fixation on dust mites under the
sofa. Sometimes it takes even less. If you are sitting and doing work and someone near you says
something particularly interesting, that can pull your focus.可知如果你在办公室工作，可能会通过
电子邮件、电话或同事提出问题。如果你在家，可能是冰箱里的东西或沙发下突然粘上了尘
螨。有时甚至只需更少的事物就能转移你的注意力。如果你正坐着工作，旁边有人说了一些特别有趣的话，这会吸引你的注意力。由此可知，本句承接上文说明，世界上充满了让人分
心的事情，如果你一不小心被这些东西转移了注意力，那么你的一天就会一事无成。故 G 选
项“如果你一不小心，你这一天就会一事无成”符合上下文语境，故选 G。
【47 题详解】
根据后文 And put your smartphone and other irrelevant screens away—they attract our attention even
if they are off.可知把你的智能手机和其他不相关的屏幕放在一边——即使它们处于关闭状态，
它们也会吸引我们的注意力。由此可知，此处是在说明关闭有网络通讯的电子产品或将这些
产品放在一边，能够有助于在走神的时候保持专注。故 D 选项“关闭电子邮件或信息服务会
有所帮助”符合上下文语境，故选 D。
【48 题详解】
根 据 后 文 If you are doing something repetitive like stuffing envelopes or laying bricks, being
distracted by listening to music or a podcast or engaging in a conversation with a co-worker can
ultimately boost productivity.可知如果你在做一些重复性的事情，比如装信封或砌砖，那么听音
乐、听播客或和同事聊天会让你分心，这最终会提高工作效率。由此可知，此处是在说明并
不是所有的分心都是不好的，有些分心会提高工作效率。故 A 选项“然而，并不是所有的分
心都是不好的”符合上下文语境，故选 A。
【49 题详解】
根据后文 Jihae Shin, now at the university of Wisconsin-Madison, has found that when people played
Minesweeper for five minutes before coming up with new business ideas, they were more creative
than those who didn’t play.可知威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的 Jihae Shin 发现，当人们在想出新商
业点子前玩《扫雷》五分钟时，他们比不玩的人更有创造力。由此可知，分散注意力对创造
力也有好处。后文中 creative“创造性的”可对应到 C 选项中 Creativity“创造力”。故C 选项
“分散注意力对创造力也有好处”符合上下文语境，故选 C。
【50 题详解】
根据后文 But when we are trying to come up with creative solutions, task-switching distractions can
help prevent "cognitive fixation" on ineffective approaches. So if you are a creative type, try lining up
two or more tasks and spend your day switching between them.可知但当我们试图想出创造性的解
决方案时，任务转换的干扰可以帮助防止对无效方法的“认知固着”。所以，如果你是一个有
创造力的人，试着把两个或更多的任务排列起来，然后花一天的时间在它们之间切换。由此
可知，本段是在建议在不同的任务之间切换，可以有助于保持专注。故 B 选项“在不同任务之间切换也会有所帮助”符合上下文语境，故选 B。

【答案】With the Dragon Boat Festival right around the corner, last weekend, my parents and I
went to see my grandparents. We enjoyed our family time together.
Before going to my grandparents’ home, we went shopping in the nearby supermarket for
groceries. We bought some of my grandparents’ favorite food as well as sticky rice and bamboo
leaves—ingredients to make the traditional food that we eat during Dragon Boat Festival, Zongzi.
Carrying all our purchases, we went to my grandparents’. Not having seen one another for some
time, we were all very happy for the get-together. My grandparents had missed us very much.
After a pleasant chitchat, exchanging the latest news in our lives, I asked my grandma to teach me
how to make Zongzi. Grandma then began showing me the “standard procedure” in Zongzi
making—soaking the sticky rice and bamboo leaves and washing the red dates. Seeing the bowls and
plates of different sizes, I was almost overwhelmed. I had never realized it would take so much
delicate handwork to make a Zongzi. However, my grandma proved a great teacher, and I a quick
learner.
After making the Zongzi, we sat down to a full table of family traditional dishes that my parents had cooked. Not only did we enjoy the delicious meal, but also the funny stories that were told around
the dinner table. It’s true, laughter is the best medicine.
I was so happy that my whole family praised my Zongzi and to see their smiling faces after taking
the first bite, it really made my day. I’ll always remember this day. For sure, nothing beats quality time
together with family.
