第二部分 阅读理解(共 20 小题,每小题 2 分,满分 40 分)
第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 30 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和 D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡
上将该项涂黑。
A
During the outbreak of novel coronavirus, cities are locked down and borders are closed.
Science, on the contrary, is becoming more open. And this "open science" is already making a
difference.
Soon after the epidemic started in China, a research team from Fudan University in Shanghai
successfully sequenced(测定序列)the DNA of the virus. But they didn't keep the information to
themselves. Instead, they placed the sequences on GenBank, an open-access data platform, so
researchers around the world could download them for free and start studying the virus.
Due to this openness, pharmaceutical(制药的)companies across the globe are now able to work
simultaneously(同时地)to develop a vaccine. "There may be room for multiple different vaccines for
different purposes and different age groups," Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins
University Center for Health Security in the US, told Al Jazeera. "The bigger menu we have of
vaccines, the more resilient(有适应力的)we'll be against coronavirus outbreaks in the future."
Major drug companies around the world are also sharing their study results. Remdesivir, a drug
originally developed by US company Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola, is found to be promising in
fighting against the novel coronavirus. Currently, two trials of the drug are already underway in
China, and the results might be available as soon as April, according to The Verge.
This openness in science is going to be even more critical in the future. "With climate change,
increasing globalization, and population shifts, epidemics will not go away, and might even become
more frequent," Dan Barouch, a Harvard Medical School professor, told Harvard Magazine.
He said, "No one group can do everything. It has to be a coordinated(合作的)approach. But I
do think that the world has a greater sense of readiness this time to develop knowledge, drugs, and
therapeutics(疗法)very rapidly."
Every epidemic is indeed a crisis, but it can also be a learning opportunity. One redeeming(补
偿的)factor of the COVID-19 outbreak is that it is helping science adapt for the better.
21. What does the article mainly talk about?
A. Coordinated efforts to fight the epidemic.
B. Something positive we've learned from the epidemic.
C. The significance of openness and sharing of scientific knowledge.
D. What needs to be done to prevent future epidemics.
22. What is the positive effect of the research team from Fudan University placing the genetic
sequence of the virus onto GenBank?
A. They alerted the world to the danger of the virus.
B. They helped remove people's fear of the virus.
C. They showed the world how to produce a vaccine.
D. They invited collective efforts worldwide to develop a vaccine.
23. What is the author's purpose of mentioning remdesivir in the text?
A. To introduce a possible cure for the epidemic.
B. To compare the treatment of Ebola and the novel coronavirus.
C. To prove that many drug companies readily share their discoveries.
D. To show that the novel coronavirus will soon be contained.
24. What does the underlined word "critical" in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. expressing disapproval. B. extremely important.
C. serious, uncertain and possibly dangerous. D. making fair, careful judgments.
25. Which of the following would Dan Barouch probably disagree with?
A. Epidemics will be less frequent thanks to scientific development.
B. The world is becoming better prepared to deal with epidemics.
C. No single group can fight against the epidemics independently.
D. The increase in globalization may worsen future epidemics.
B
Light and bright, cheap and cheerful: IKEA's 400-plus outlets(专营店)in 49 countries all run on
the same central principle. Customers do as much of the work as possible, in the belief they are
having fun and saving money. You drive to a distant warehouse built on cheap out-of-town land.
Inside, you enter a maze(迷宫)-no shortcuts allowed-where every twist reveals new furniture.
Compared with the prices of other outlets, IKEA's are much lower. You load up your trolley(手
推车)with impulse buys-a clock, storage boxes, tools and more chairs than you will ever use. You
drag cardboard boxes, cupboards and tables into your car and reward yourself for your economy and
good taste. Then you drive home and put your prizes together. You are satisfied with the bargains.
IKEA is satisfied with your money.
The company's name was a do-it-yourself job, too. IKEA stands for Ingvar Kamprad, from
Elmtaryd-his family's farm-in Agunnaryd. That village is in the Smaland region of southern Sweden.
Mr Kamprad founded IKEA aged 17. Well before that, he spotted a principle which would make him
one of the richest men in the world that customers like buying goods at wholesale prices(批发价).
First he bought matches in large quantities and sold them by the box. Aged ten, he sold pens in the
similar way.
Setbacks inspired him. Facing a price war against his low-cost mail-order furniture business, he
defeated competitors by opening a showroom. Dealers tried to crush Mr Kamprad and banned him
from their trade fairs. He slipped in, hiding in a friend's car. When they tried to threaten his
suppliers, he relied on his own workers, and secretly sold his production to communist Poland.
Decades later, east Europeans freed from the planned economy drove hundreds of miles to newly
opened outlets in Moscow and Warsaw.
His self-discipline was world-famous. As a child, he removed the "off" button from his alarm
clock to stop himself oversleeping. He rarely took a first-class seat. The wine didn't get you there
any earlier, he sniffed; having lots of money was no reason to waste it. He bought his clothes in
second-hand markets, and for years drove an elderly Volvo until he had to sell it on safety grounds.
He had his hair cut in poor countries to save money. Visitors admired the views, but were surprised
that his house was so shabby. He worked well into his eighties.
His diligence and simple way of life set a good example to his 194,000 "co-workers". But he
was not mean. The point of cutting costs was to make goods affordable, not to compromise quality.
He urged his staff to reflect constantly on ways of saving money, time and space. An improved
design that allows easier piling means shipping less air-and more profit.
Culture was more important than strategy. He disliked "exaggerated(夸张的)planning", along
with financial markets and banks. Better to make mistakes and learn from them. And use time
wisely: "You can do so much in ten minutes. But ten minutes once gone are gone for good." This did
not apply to customers. The longer they stayed, the better.
Mr Kamprad's impact on modern life can be compared with that of Henry Ford and the
mass-produced motor car. Furniture used to be expensive, dark and heavy. For many people,
decorating a home could cost many months' salary. IKEA made furniture not just affordable and
functional, but fun. The mission was civilizational, he felt, changing how people lived and thought.
His approach drew some fire. The company values struck some as unpleasant. At IKEA's
Corporate Culture Centre, lots of pictures of Mr Kamprad with his mottos can be seen everywhere.
What's worse, some parts of the supply chain seemed to have serious problems to overcome.
26. What can we learn about IKEA in Paragraph 1?
A. IKEA prefers rural areas for its location.
B. IKEA has 400 outlets throughout the world.
C. IKEA likes to store new furniture in a maze.
D. IKEA provides a lot of work for its customers.
27. The underlined two sentences in Paragraph 2 imply that .
A. IKEA tricks you into spending more money
B. you may buy bargains with impulse in IKEA
C. both you and IKEA are pleased with the deal
D. both you and IKEA are happy with the bargain
28. By mentioning Mr. Kamprad's experiences before he founded IKEA, the author intends to tell us
that Mr Kamprad .
A. was likely to become a successful businessman
B. preferred selling matches and pens by low prices
C. had been a well-off merchant due to his principle
D. enjoyed doing something promising with discipline
29. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 and 6 about Mr. Kamprad?
A. He never overslept due to his alarm clock being set.
B. He was against drinking but for sniffing at the wine.
C. He sold the old Volvo with the purpose of saving money.
D. He didn't give up the quality of furniture for more profit.
30. Which of the following has nothing to do with Mr. Kamprad's success in business?
A. The pictures and mottos of Mr. Kamprad. B. The setbacks Mr. Kamprad experienced.
C. Mr. Kamprad's principles of management. D. Mr. Kamprad's self-discipline and diligence.
C
It was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for "Six days shall you labor and do all your
work" was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping
firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.
Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of
having Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string( 线 ). It
seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.
My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again
she cast a look toward the window. "Come on, girls! Let's take string to the boys and watch them fly
the kites a minute."
On the way we met Mrs. Patric, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong,
together with her girls.
There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys' kites
and they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the
kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind,
and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.
Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like
schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children
forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. "Perhaps it's like this in the kingdom of heaven," I
thought confusedly.
It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the houses. I suppose we had some
sort of supper. I suppose there must have been surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked
clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn't mention that day afterward. I felt a little
embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that
deepest part of me where we keep "the things that cannot be and yet they are."
The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to
get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to "go park, see
duck."
"I can't go!" I said. "I have this and this to do, and when I'm through I'll be too tired to walk that
far."
My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling. "It's a wonderful
day," she offered, "really warm, yet there's a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?"
I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of
memories. "Come on," I told my little girl. "You're right, it's too good a day to miss."
Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath(余波)of a great war. All evening we had
been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of
war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of- what
dark and horrible things?
"Say!" A smile slipped out from his lips. "Do you remember-no, of course you wouldn't. It
probably didn't make the impression on you as it did on me."
I hardly dared speak. "Remember what?"
"I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营), when things weren't too good. Do you
remember the day we flew the kites?"
31. Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought .
A. she was too old to fly kites
B. her husband would make fun of her
C. she should have been doing her housework
D. her girls weren't supposed to join the boys' games
32. By "we were all beside ourselves" writer means that they all .
A. felt confused B. went wild with joy C. looked on D. forgot their fights
33. What did the author think after the kite-flying?
A. The boys must have had more fun than the girls.
B. They should have finished their work before playing.
C. Her parents should spend more time with them.
D. All the others must have forgotten that day.
34. Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outing?
A. She suddenly remembered her duty as a mother.
B. She was reminded of the day they flew kites.
C. She had finished her work in the kitchen.
D. She thought it was a great day to play outside.
35. The youngest Patrick boy is mentioned to show that
A. the writer was not alone in treasuring her fond memories
B. his experience in POW camp threw a shadow over his life
C. childhood friendship means so much to the writer
D. people like him really changed a lot after the war

Things only people who have worked overseas can understand
If you have ever worked or lived overseas, I'm pretty sure you can understand the following
things!
We do not automatically become fluent in another language. A lot of people believe that
changing your geographic location can improve your language learning skills quickly. 36
Language application takes time and has a number of factors that play into a person's level of
fluency.
We feel extremely lonely at times. Yes, living abroad can be wonderful. 37 Sometimes,
we think that no one back at home understands our true feelings and life challenges, but a lot of other
people travel long term and work abroad. Maybe they are not facing the same problems as you, but
they know exactly how you feel.
We don't really like our birthdays. Usually, your special day ends with the last phone call you
get from home and then you can look through all your greetings on social media. 38 You may
throw a small party with some of your new friends, but it's going to be nothing compared with the
good-old feasts you used to have with your loved ones back at home.
39 Too often we simply can't tell you if we will be coming home for holidays this
season. Sometimes, our working/living permits require us to stay in the country for at least a year.
Adding up the flight costs and additional travel expenses, traveling home becomes quite a challenge
for us.
We will change. 40 You become more mature, independent and open-minded. Usually,
you return home as a better person than the one you left as.
A. The truth is: it isn't like that.
B. We may not plan to move back home.
C. We don't know when we'll come home next.
D. However, it can get extremely lonely on some days too.
E. Living abroad makes us value the little things a lot.
F. Living and working abroad shape your personality a lot.
G. After that, you just act as if it's another ordinary day in your life yet.

Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people are 41 in the
right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed 42 in
national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky to 43 me.
Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research. Over the years I
interviewed them, watched their lives and had them 44 various experiments.
I carried out a simple experiment to discover whether their differences in 45 was due to
differences in their ability to 46 opportunities. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a
newspaper, and asked them to 47 it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had
48 placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying… "Tell the experimenter you
have seen this and win $ 50."
This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches
high. It was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to 49 it and
the lucky people tended to spot it.
Unlucky people are generally more 50 than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their
ability to notice the 51 . As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on
looking for something else. They go to gatherings focused on finding their perfect partner and miss
opportunities to make good friends. They read newspapers. 52 to find certain types of job
advertisements and miss other types of jobs.
Lucky people are more 53 we and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just
what they are looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people create good fortune via
four 54 . They are skilled at creating and 55 opportunities, make lucky decisions by
listening to their intuition(直觉), create self-fulfilling prophesies(预言)via positive expectations, and
adopt a "never say die" attitude that transforms bad luck into good.
41. A. never B. always C. sometimes D. seldom

第二节 概要写作(满分 25 分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying
hunger. Believe it or not, we've all been there. Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of
boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a
lot-especially without realizing it-emotional eating can affect weight, health and overall well-being.
Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings. Understanding what
drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it. One of the biggest myths about
emotional eating is that it's caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they're
stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings
too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast.
Sometimes, emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce. More often,
though, it's the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food.
Emotional eating patterns can be learned. A child who is given candy after a big achievement
may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done. If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may
link cookies with comfort. It's not easy to "unlearn" patterns of emotional eating. But it is possible.
And it starts with an awareness of what's going on.
We're all emotional eaters to a degree. But for some people, emotional eating can be a real
problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that
once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. And you often may feel worse
about eating the amount or type of food you like. That's why it helps to know the difference between
physical hunger and emotional hunger. Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which
type of hunger is driving it.
