【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:艺术节是一个一年一度的节日,同学们都在艺术节上施展才艺。句中先行
词为 event,为抽象地点名词,在从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词 where 引导。故选 A。
【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先
行词往往为名词或代词,如本题中先行词为抽象名词 event,再分析先行词 event 在定语从句中所作的成分,
将先行词 event 带到从句中可知只能作地点状语,故确定关系词 where,相当于 in which。

【答案】A
【解析】

不够。A.while 尽管;B.if 引导条件状语,C.since 可引导时间状语和原因状语,D.before 引导时间状语。分
析句意可知此处为让步关系。所以 while 合适,while 可以引导让步状语从句,表虽然,尽管。所以答案应

这么远的地方探索了。动词 explains 后接宾语从句,结合句意可知,这里用 why 引导,在从句中作原因状
语。故选 D。
【点睛】本题考查名词性从句,首先判断属于哪种名词性从句,再判断从句缺少什么成分,如果缺少主宾
表,用 what,不缺少成分和意思用 that,缺少疑问词根据句意判断。本题为宾语从句,从句不缺少成分,
结合句意可知,这里用 why 引导,在从句中作原因状语,从而判断出正确答案。

A. to postpone B. having postponed
C. postponed D. being postponed

【解析】
【详解】考查独立主格结构。句意:高考今年推迟至七月,高三学生能再好好准备准备了。后半句为主句,
前半句为从句。分析句子可知,主从句主语不一致,所以用独立主格结构。从句逻辑主语 The college entrance
exam 与 postpone 之间为被动关系,表示“被推迟”,所以用过去分词。故选 C。

.
【答案】A
【解析】

Beijing museum launches outer space into cyberspace
The National Museum of China has taken a variety of measures on its website and WeChat
account, creating virtual tours for its current and permanent exhibitions, uploading audio of
previous educational courses and providing more social media posts to detail the star items in its
collection. It has gone a further step by launching an exhibition entirely online with the help of
advanced technology such as 3D modeling and 5G.
The exhibition, titled Dongfanghong Forever, charts the progress China has made in
aerospace over half a century. The show opened on April 24, which is marked as the country’s
Space Day, when the satellite Dongfanghong 1 was launched in 1970.
The success of Dongfanghong 1 entering its present orbit not only registered the country’s
first steps in exploring outer space but the event also made China the fifth country in the world to
develop a satellite on its own and put it in space.
The online exhibition is expected to run for a long time, and people can visit it on the
museum’s website at any time. It is the first such virtual show the museum has staged. It reviews
“three critical moments in the country’s space exploration-the development of Dongfanghong 1,
the liftoff of China’s first manned spacecraft, Shenzhou V, in 2003 and the landing of the
Chang’e 4 lunar probe in 2019”.
The exhibition gives a view of Dongfanghong 1 orbiting in the form of digital simulation
(模拟). Viewers can also watch television interviews of scientists involved in the mission and
documentary footage filmed in 1970, as well as hear Dongfanghong (The East is Red), a song
popular in China hailing Mao Zedong, played by the satellite.
The exhibition will motivate more people to engage in the country’s ambitious course of
space exploration.
56. The National Museum of China has recently ______.
A. launched a satellite into outer space
B. set up a website and WeChat account
C. uploaded more digital documents online
D. helped to advance 3D and 5G technology
57. On the museum’s website, you can ______.
A. see how Dongfanghong 1 was orbiting
B. have an interview with some scientists
C. visit China’s first manned spacecraft
D. provide classes about space exploration

Should you choose time over money, or money over time? This is one of those so-called dilemmas of happiness
that isn’t really a dilemma at all, because the answer is so painfully obvious. Money, after all, is just an instrument for
obtaining other things, including time-while time is all we’ve got. And to make matters worse, you can’t save it up.
And yet we do choose money over time, again and again, even when basic material well-being doesn’t demand
it. Partly, no doubt, that’s because even well-off people fear future poverty. But it’s also because the time/money
trade-off rarely presents itself in simple ways. Suppose you’re offered a better-paid job that requires a longer
commute (more money in return for less time); but then again, that extra cash could lead to more or better time in
future, in the form of nicer holidays, or a more secure retirement. Which choice prioritizes time, and which money?
It’s hard to say.
Thankfully, a new study throws a little light on the matter. The researchers surveyed more than 4,000 Americans
to determine whether they valued time or money more, and how happy they were. A clear majority preferred
money-but those who valued time were happier. Older people, married people and parents were more likely to value
time, which makes sense: older people have less time left, while those with spouses and kids probably either value
time with them, or feel they steal all their time. Or both.
The crucial finding here is that it’s not having more time that makes you happier, but valuing it more.
Economists continue to argue about whether money buys happiness-but few doubt that being comfortably off is more
pleasant than struggling to make ends meet. This study makes a different point: it implies that even if you’re scraping
by (勉强维持), and thus forced to focus on money, you’ll be happier if deep down you know it’s time that’s most
important.
It also contains ironic (讽刺的) good news for those of us who feel basically secure, financially, but horribly
pushed for time. If you strongly wish you had more time, as I do, who could accuse you of not valuing it? At least my
eagerness for more time shows that my priorities are in order, and maybe that means I’ll enjoy any spare time I do get.
We talk about scarce time like it’s a bad thing. But scarcity is what makes us treat things as precious, too.
58. The example in Paragraph 2 suggests that ______.
A. money can be made at the expense of time
B. the time/money trade-off is a complicated issue
C. money is a tool for obtaining material well-being
D. circumstances force one to choose money over time
59. We can know from the findings of the study that ______.
A. valuing time more makes people happier
B. parents regret the time spent on their kids
C. people won’t value time until they’re rich
D. a comfortable life is superior to more time
60. Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage?
A. What you should spend time on
B. What you should trade money for
C. Why you need to value money, not time
D. Why you need to count time, not money
【答案】58. B 59. A 60. D
【解析】
本文是议论文。主要探讨的是时间和金钱选择的问题。时间是我们仅有的东西,并且是不能挽回的。珍惜
时间让人们更快乐。
【58 题详解】
推理判断题。根据题干定位到第二段的“But it’s also because the time/money trade-off rarely presents itself in
simple ways.”可知,时间和金钱的权衡很少是以简单的方式出现的,也就是说两者之间的权衡是复杂的问
题。接下来的举例证明了"it' s hard to say”,两者的抉择很难,是个复杂的问题。故选 B。
【59 题详解】
推理判断题。根据题干定位到第四段首句 The crucial finding here is that it’s not having more time that makes
you happier, but valuing it more.可知,研究的关键发现是让你更快乐的并不是拥有更多的时间,而是更珍惜时
间才会更快乐。第四段最后一句的 you’ll be happier if deep down you know it’s time that’s most important.也再次
表明即使勉强度日,并被迫专注于金钱,但内心深处明白现在是最重要的时刻时,还是会感到快乐。因此推
断从这项研究我们知道珍惜时间让人们更快乐。故选 A。
【60 题详解】
主旨大意题。首先,本文主要探讨的是时间和金钱选择的问题,故排除 A 项和 B 项。其次,文章第一段就给
出观点,时间是我们仅有的东西,并且是不能挽回的。接着文章通过硏究调査来明确重视时间更让人感到
快乐,因此本篇文章主要是提出论点,然后阐述原因的写作顺序,因此推断 D 项“你为什需要珍惜时间,而
不是金钱”为最佳标题。故选 D。
C
The brain has a powerful ability to remember and connect events separated in time. And now, in that new study
in mice published in Neuron, scientists at Columbia’s Zuckerman Institute have cast light on how the brain can form
lasting links.
The hippocampus-a small, seahorse-shaped region buried deep in the brain-is an important headquarters for
learning and memory. Previous experiments in mice showed that disruption (中断) to the hippocampus leaves the
animals with trouble learning to associate two events separated by tens of seconds.
“The traditional view has been that cells in the hippocampus keep up a level of continuous activity to associate
such events,” said Dr. Ahmed, co-first author of the study. “Turning these cells off would thus disrupt learning.”
To test this view, the researchers imaged parts of the hippocampus of mice as the animals were exposed to two
different stimuli (刺激物): a neutral (神经的) sound followed by a small but unpleasant puff of air. A fifteen-second
delay separated the two events. The scientists repeated this experiment across several trials. Over time, the mice
learned to associate the sound with the soon-to-follow puff of air. Using advanced microscopy, they recorded the
activity of thousands of neurons (神经元) , a type of brain cell, in the animals’ hippocampus over the course of each
trial for many days.
“We expected to see continuous neural activity that lasted during the fifteen-second gap, an indication of the
hippocampus at work linking the auditory sound and the air puff,” said computational neuroscientist Stefano Fusi,
PhD. “But when we began to analyze the data, we saw no such activity.” Instead, the neural activity recorded during
the fifteen-second time gap was sparse (稀少的). Only a small number of neurons worked, and they did so seemingly
at random.
To understand activity, they had to shift the way they analyzed data and use tools designed to make sense of
random processes. Finally, the researchers discovered a complex pattern in the randomness: a style of mental
computing that seems to be a remarkably efficient way that neurons store information.
“We were happy to see that the brain doesn’t maintain ongoing activity over all these seconds because that’s not
the most efficient way to store information,” said Dr. Ahmed. “The brain seems to have a more efficient way to build
this bridge.”
61. What can we learn about the hippocampus?
A. It weakens with the memory decline.
B. It is a brain region crucial for memory.
C. It serves as a tool of learning languages.
D. It is involved in the visual area of the brain.
62. According to the passage, the traditional view is that ______.
A. associations of events require continuous neural activity
B. animals have trouble learning to associate two events
C. neural activity can hardly be replaced by associations
D. a 15-second delay is enough to separate two events
63. The new study in mice indicates that ______.
A. continuous activity happens as expected
B. no neurons stay active at intervals of 15 seconds
C. a complex pattern helps the brain learn associations
D. neuronal information is stored in well-designed tools
64. From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that the findings ______.
A. inspire deeper explorations of disorders
B. provide evidence for language learning
C. build a bridge between different parts of the brain
D. help map some aspects of a person’s experiences
【答案】61. B 62. A 63. C 64. A

One in four children and young people could have problematic smart-phone use, according to research that also
suggests such behaviour is associated with poorer mental health.
The amount of time children and teens spend using their devices has become an issue of growing concern, but
experts say there is still little evidence as to whether spending time on screens is harmful in itself.
The experts behind the latest study said they wanted to look beyond the time young people were spending on
smart-phones and instead explore the type of relationship they had with smart-phones.
The results suggest more than 23% of young people have an abnormal relationship with their smart-phones, and
that this appears to be associated with poorer mental health-although the research cannot say whether phone use is
driving such problems.
“It seems like only a minority of teenagers and young people from various different countries are self-reporting
a pattern of behaviour that we recognise from other addictions,” said Dr Nicola Kalk of King’s College London,
co-author of the study. “The quality of the evidence is poor, but it is enough to warrant (保证) further investigation.”
Writing in the journal BMC Psychiatry, the team reported how they looked at data from 41 studies involving a
total of almost 42,000 participants across Europe, Asia and America, mainly in their teens or early 20s.
These studies used questionnaires to probe the prevalence (普遍) of problematic smart-phone use-behaviours
such as being anxious when the device is not available or neglecting other activities to spend time on the smart-phone.
Taken together, the team said on average these studies suggested as many as one in four children and young
people had problematic smart-phone use.
Among the studies that probed mental health, the results suggested people with problematic smart-phone use
were also more likely to have depression-for which the odds (可能性) were more than three times worse-anxiety,
feelings of stress and poor sleep as well as poorer educational attainment.
While the team said it was too soon to call problematic smart-phone usage an addiction, they noted that it
appeared to be linked to similar patterns of behaviour and emotion.
Kalk said further studies were needed to explore if these behaviours were hard to break, or cause harm-other key
features of an addiction.
The authors argued that the availability and pervasiveness of smart-phones in everyday life meant problematic
use of the devices posed a different and much bigger public health problem than substances of abuse or internet
gaming.
Kalk said the team were now looking at whether smart-phones were just delivering addictive content, or whether
there was something inherently addictive about using such devices.
Dr Amy Orben, an expert in screen time at the University of Cambridge, raised concerns, noting that the
definition of problematic internet use varied considerably across studies, and the measures used were questioned.
She said studies finding little signs of problematic internet use might have been overlooked, while the research
could not say whether problematic smart-phone use caused poorer mental health.
Prof Russell Viner, President of Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said that parents were
navigating unchartered water when it came to technology.
“One of the most critical things for parents to consider is whether screen time is having a harmful impact on
other activities like school, relationships or other interests. This study suggests that this is the case for a significant
minority of children and young people,” he said.
Viner said in these cases parents should calmly install age-appropriate boundaries on smart-phone use, and ask
questions about whether their children were experiencing other problems.
“While screen time is a new problem, part of the solution is tried and tested-open and regular conversations
based on respect and trust,” he said.
65. Experts conducted the research to ______.
A. address the concern about adolescent behavior
B. prove spending time on screens is harmful in itself
C. calculate the time young people spent on smart-phones
D. explore young people’s relationship type with smart-phones
66. We can learn from the research that ______.
A. it involved a vast majority of participants across the globe
B. the participants were asked to report their online activities
C. researchers compared different behaviors of the participants
D. problematic smart-phone use is linked to poorer mental health
67. Which of the following might Kalk probably agree?
A. It is hard to break problematic smart-phone use.
B. Internet gaming is problematic smart-phone use.
C. Problematic smart-phone use is an addiction.
D. The research still has some limitations.
68. What’s Dr Amy Orben’s attitude towards the research findings?
A. Supportive. B. Negative.
C. Sceptical. D. Unconcerned.
69. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 16 mean?
A. Screen time is a new challenge to parents.
B. Technology is posing a threat to parents.
C. Parents are lost in the sea of technology.
D. Parents use technology to chart water.
70. According to Viner, what should parents do to solve the problem?
A. Keep track of the screen time of children.
B. Strictly prohibit children from using devices.
C. Have a sincere communication with children.
D. Evaluate the impact of screen time on children.

Success Takes Focus
You can have a strong desire and really want to achieve your goal but as you’ve experienced, life has its way of
knocking us off course. Things come up, and distractions occur.
Success takes a lot of focus. You’ve had the experience of setting a goal and being really excited about achieving
it only to have a few weeks or months to go by and realize the goal has dropped down on your list of priorities.
People often get easily side tracked. This doesn’t just happen all at once. You get off track just little by little until
one day, you realize you’re completely off track. Keeping your mind focused on your goal can be a constant battle
because everything around you is trying to get your attention. It will be your job to keep your goal up high on your
priorities list.
So what can you do to keep your focus? There are several things you can try. You can write down your goal and
read it each morning and night. You can visualize achieving your goal daily.
One of my favorite methods of keeping focused on a goal is to constantly ask myself, “Is what I’m doing right
now bringing me closer to my goal or further away?” Once you answer that question, you’ll know what to do. You
can make sure that your daily to-do list includes doing something that will take you closer to your goal.
If you look back at the goals you’ve tried to achieve and realized you haven’t achieved any of your major goals,
it may be time to just focus on a single goal. This way, all of your energy and focus can be put towards obtaining that
one goal which will increase your chances of getting it. It’s a lot better to just achieve one major goal than to work on
a dozen and achieve none of them.
Remember that you’re human and because of this, you’ll make some errors in judgment. Instead of beating
yourself up, just be aware that certain things can take your focus away from your goals. Once you’re aware of these
things, you can actively reduce the amount of time they take your focus off your goals.
Distractions are like gravity. It’s going to cause us all to fall every now and then. The important thing is that we
bounce back up every time we fall. Get your focus back on your goal when you start to realize it’s drifting somewhere
else.

【 答 案 】 There’s a serious shortage of labor for low-skilled positions. When it comes to their career interest
tendency, the vast majority of students choose professions like an engineer over the job as a worker.
The following reasons can account for this phenomenon. Firstly, some parents are reluctant to let their children
take jobs that require physical strength but low skills. Secondly, the younger generation themselves show
unwillingness to work at such positions, which are often in poor conditions with low salaries. Thirdly, the low
