How will we keep astronauts entertained?
The lucky residents of the International Space Station pull 12-hour shifts,including two
and a half hours of gym time and six and a half hours of lab work,among other duties.36 If the
timing's right,they call home to catch up.They watch their favorite football games.NASA has
sent up playthings like guitars,keyboards,as well as a chess.
Staying entertained is vital because when you're on long space flights,feeling bored can be
dangerous.37 Breaking a tool is a lot more worrying when you're trying to keep a spaceship on
course.Not only does playtime keep operations smooth,it also helps Americans relate to their
high-flying heroes.
38 Maintaining( 维 持 ） a constant long-distance signal will be tough.But when
bandwidth(带宽）allows,Houston could beam up TV series for binge-watching(疯狂追剧）.The
agency is also looking into virtual reality so space travelers can spend an afternoon at the beach.
What will the people we send to space do for fun decades from now?"39" Picano
replies.For a glimpse,look to the South Pole's McMurdo Research Station,which once had a
bowling alley(保龄球道）and now features a wine and coffee bar.40 “If you send soldiers or
scientists to small and enclosed environments,they will find ways to play.It never ceases to
amaze me.”
A.Boy,I have no idea.
B.It may lead to performance errors..
C.It can enable astronaut to accomplish their tasks.
D.As a species we can always come up with new ideas.
E. We encourage contributions focused on individual needs.
F.They sleep eight hours,leaving another four for doing nothing.
G.But astronauts might not always have that solid link to Earth.

本文围绕宇航员的娱乐活动展开，呈现了它的方式内容、阐述了它的重要性、展望了它的前
景、诠释了它的必然性。本文需考生注意上下文的连接，分析好逻辑关系，选出最佳选项。
详细解析：
第 36 题 F 前一句中介绍了空间站中的宇航员们十二小时轮班制的工作内容，后两句紧接着
介绍了娱乐内容。F 项中介绍了其余十二个小时的活动与前文互补，并提到了其中有四小时
的空闲，为下文介绍娱乐做铺垫。所以本题选 F。
第 37 题 B 结合前一句中提到 feeling bored can be dangerous 与后文提到 breaking a tool 的结
果,可知无聊与出差错呈因果关系。B 项中 lead to 强调了这层关系，使原文通顺。所以本题
选 B。
第 38 题 G 后一句提到了长时间维持远距离的信号是很困难的，解释了 G 项 might not always
have that solid link to earth 的原因。前一句讲联系此处讲失联，呈转折关系，结合 but 连接词
可知用法正确。所以本题选 G。
第 39 题 A 前一句问未来航天人员的娱乐会是什么样的，由 Picano replies 推出应该填说话
内容。结合后文提到 South Pole's McMurdo Research Station 的巨大转变可知我们无法预知。
所以本题选择 A 项。
第 40 题 D 选项中 come up with new ideas 与后一句 they will find ways to play 相呼应。先总
说后阐释具体例子逻辑关系紧密，所以本题选择 D 项。

Why is the world’s population growing? 36 The reason for the explosion is not that
people have been reproducing like rabbits, but that people have stopped dropping dead like flies.
In 1900, people died at the average age of 30. By 2000 the average age was 65. But while
increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century, declining birth rate could be a defining
one of the 21st.
Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9 in the early
1960s to 2.5 nowadays. Furthermore, around 50% of the world’s population live in regions where
the figure is now below the replacement level （ i.e.2.1 births per woman ） and almost all
developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate. 37 But you’d be wrong,
declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions too, which might cause
catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades.
38 What does it imply？First, China needs to undergo rapid economic development
before a population decline hits the country. Second, if other factors such as technology remain
constant, economic growth and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this
could invite trouble.
Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise.
Since 1992 the number of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by a massive
50%, Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in
Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961. 39 Nobody is quite sure, but poor diet an
above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it. If current trends don’t bend. Russia’s
population will be about the size of Yemen’s by the year 2050.
40 As for the USA, it is almost unique among developed nations in having a
population that is expected to grow by 20% from 2010-2030. Moreover, the USA has a track
record of successfully accepting immigrants. As a result it’s likely to see a rise in the size of its
working-age population and to witness strong economic growth over the longer term.
A. Why is this occurring?
B. How to solve this problem?
C. The answer is not what you might think.
D. You might think that developing nations would make up the loss.
E. One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration.
F. A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China, for instance.
G. In 2030,a sixth of the country’s potential work force could be tally uneducated.

这篇文章讲了目前世界各国面临着生育率下降，劳动力短缺的问题，并举了几个典型
国家的例子论述、提出解决方案。要准确填空，需要结合前后文的内容推断语境，总
体难度中等。这里的 40 题容易看到 B 选项就认为很合适，而忽略了 E 这个更确切贴
合的答案。
详细解析：
第 36 题 结 合 后 文 的 The reason for the explosion is not that people have been
reproducing like rabbits, but that people have stopped dropping dead like flies.来看，这句
话前半句在否定一种观点，接着阐述作者的观点。因此选项 C 中包含这种否定意味，
故选 C。
第 37 题 结合后文的 But you'd be wrong, declining birth rate is a major problem in many
developing regions too, which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force
within a few decades.也就是发展中国家也面临着人口不足的问题，可见前一句肯定在
说发展中国家没有出生率低的问题。故选 D。
第 38 题 结合整段都在围绕中国论述，可见段落首句必然有提及中国，故选 F。
第 39 题 结 合 后 文 的 Nobody is quite sure, but poor diet an above all long-time
alcoholism have much to do with it. 可以看出这句话是一种解释，即酗酒是人口问题的
原因之一，因此前一句必然是在问原因，故选 A。
第 40 题 结 合 后 文 Moreover, the USA has a track record of successfully accepting
immigrants. As a result it's likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population
and to witness strong economic growth over the longer term.可知，美国由于政策性引进
移民人口，使得劳动力充足，经济增长。相比于选项 B，选项 E 直接具体的点出引进
外来移民劳动力这个举措，更加贴合语境，故选 E。

Mind Your"Q's”
Both IQ and EQ are considered important to our career success.36 Enter adaptability
quotient(AQ),a subjective set of qualities loosely defined as the ability to thrive(提高） in an
environment of fast and frequent change.
Every profession will require adaptability and flexibility.Say you are an accountant.Your IQ
gets you through the examinations to become qualified.Your EQ helps your connect with an
interviewer,land a job,and develop relationships with clients and colleagues.37
All three quotients are somewhat complementary,since they all help you solve problems
and therefore adapt.An ideal candidate possesses all three,but not everyone does.38 While there
is no definite method of measuring adaptability like an IQ test,companies are changing their
recruitment(招聘）processes to help identify people who may be high in it.
Natalie Fratto,a vice-president at Goldman Sachs,suggests three ways AQ might show in
potential candidates:if they can picture possible versions of the future by asking"what if
questions;
if they can unlearn information to challenge presumptions;and if they enjoy exploration or
seeking out new experiences.
39First,limit distractions and learn to focus so that you can determine what adaptations to
make.Second,ask uncomfortable questions to develop courage and normalize fear. Third,be
curious about things that fascinate you by having more conversations rather than Googling the
answer,something that reduces your ability to solve difficult challenges.
Over the next three years,120 million people in the world's largest economies may need to
be reskilled because of automation,according to a 2019 IBM study.40 The ability to learn,
change,grow,experiment will become far more important than subject expertise.
A.AQ is now increasingly being sought at the hiring level.
B.One good thing about AQ is that experts say you can work to develop it.
C.We may not all be comfortable with the pace of change-but we can prepare.
D.This is because an algorithm( 算 法 ） can do these tasks faster and more accurately than a
human.
E.But today,as technology redefines how we work,the skills we need to thrive in the job market
are developing too.
F.Having IQ but no EQ would leave you struggling to embrace new ways of working using your
existing skills.
G.Then,when systems change or aspects of work are automated,you will need AQ to
accommodate this innovation and adapt to new ways of performing your role.

Think positive
How are you feeling today? If your head’s in a spin because you’ve had a bad night’s sleep,
or maybe you’ve just got too much to do, the chances are you’re not in the best of moods. If
everything seems like an effort and you have a negative attitude, the last thing you want to be told
is to be positive! 36
Of course, developing a positive attitude is easier said than done. 37 When you’re
feeling down, it is hard to be optimistic. But a study in the US has found that people who are
optimists are more likely to live longer than those who have a more negative approach to life. So,
maybe the thought of a longer life might encourage you to have a more hopeful outlook on life.
38 Professor Lewina Lee from Boston University School of Medicine, who worked
on the study, told the BBC that: “Our findings speak to the possibility that raising levels of
optimism may promote longevity and healthy ageing.” And she advises that pessimists could
benefit from doing things like imagining a future where everything turns out well.
39 Vicki Siska says “Music feeds my soul. A sense of humor keeps things in
perspective.” And Pippa Kennedy says “being grateful for what you have — and lots of chocolate
— helps!” 40 That’s probably why other people have recommended doing yoga as well as
staying fit and healthy to help maintain a positive outlook on life.
A. It doesn’t come naturally to everyone.
B. As we know, every coin has two sides.
C. But being positive could have more benefits than you think.
D. Pessimists tend to give up when facing difficulties.
E. The saying goes that a healthy body leads a healthy mind.
F. People have been giving their personal advice on keeping a positive approach to life.
G . The study concluded that optimists may find it easier to control emotions and get less stressed.

People are always denying their pain.They don't want to recognize it because they want to
be sensed as okay,especially at this age.People are so concerned with being cool and being
popular that they don't want to be the person with problems.36
Talking about matters will help you deal with what is bringing you down.Figuring out what
makes you feel painful can be very beneficial because a lot of the time we are so mixed up with
our emotions that we need to sort them out with others' help.37 Find someone you trust and open
your heart to them. Talk to an adult,a tutor or your parent.You'd be surprised to learn how kind
people will be.38 They are willing to make sure you are okay and if you're not,they want to do
whatever they can to help you.
39 It's always okay to have secrets and things you simply want to keep to yourself.However,
if something is really disturbing,meaning that you can't stop thinking about it,and that it is really
bothering you,then you have to try to open up and talk about it.If you really don't want anyone to
know,but still feel the need to talk about the issue and get help,there are hot lines in your area
that you can call.The worst thing is to suffer alone.40 Remember that you deserve to be heard
and you deserve to be helped.
A.Your silence is not making you stronger
B.A calm heart allows you to think logically.
C.It's not always possible to just rely on ourselves.
D.You don't have to share everything in your heart.
E.They worry about you and they just want the best for you.
F.People like to talk to you and share with you their inner world.
G.However,what you choose to run away from will finally catch up with you.

Riding bikes should be fun,and in order to have the most fun out there,we rounded up the
best beginner cycling tips to help you get rolling.
36
Experiencing pain in the front of your knee?Your seat might be too low,causing you to
under-extend during your pedal stroke.This is a common mistake among beginners because most
people feel more comfortable and confident if their feet can reach the ground.
Get a bike fit
37.The seat height should be high enough to give you a very slight bend in your knee when
your feet are at the bottom of the pedal stroke,as mentioned above.Proper reach means your arms
make a 45-degree angle over the bike.Too long,and your back will be sore reaching for the
handlebars.38.
Avoid doing too much too soon
One of the biggest sources of injury comes from trying to take on too much mileage
before you're ready.39.Similarly,if you're on a training ride,don't start too fast and risk burnout
and fatigue in the second half.Warm un during the first third of the ride,and then settle into a
rhythm for the second.
Learn how to ride in a group
Group rides have their own rules for a reason.40.If it's your first time ring with a new
group,hang out in the back,observe and ask for help if you need it.No question is a dumb
question when your own safety and the safety of the group is at stake.
A.Choose the right bike
B.Set your seat height right
C.Maybe you love riding non-competitively with a group
D.It's easy to cause a crash i1 your riding isn't predictable
E.Too short,and your knees will be too close to your arms
F.To get the right fit,two elements are key:seat height and reach
G.Build up slowly,ease in,and give your body time to.

本文用明快的语调为自行车初学者提供了与骑行与自行车相关的信息与建议。文中细节清晰，
难度适中。
详细解析：
第 36 题 B 根据上下文可知，下段统领的内容有“Your seat might be too low”和“if their feet can
reach the ground”出现，表明调节座椅高度对于骑行有很大关系。故此段的标题应为调节好
座椅高度。
第 37 题 F 下文中同时出现了“height”和“reach”两个关键词作为此句的中心，并且分别对其
进行了相应的解释，可知同时包含着两个元素的选项为 F 选项。
第 38 题 E 根据上文“too long, and your back will be sore reaching for the handlebars”,可知后面
是对前句进行的补充说明，补充的是与之相反的情况，即 too short 时的情况。
第 39 题 G 与此段标题呼应，可知此段是在告诫骑行者不能贪快，要循序渐进慢慢来才能
适应。同样参考后文可知，“similarly,...., don’t start too fast and risk burn-out and fatigue in the
second half”可再次佐证。
第 40 题 D 与上文的“group rides have their own rules for riding.” 相呼应，可知如果不按照一
定的规则来则容易造成混乱，导致车队中的冲撞。也可通过后文的“hang out in the back,
observe”再次推断出。
