Stargazers can visit famous dark-sky parks in the world and enjoy unpolluted views of night
skies. Let's take a deeper dive into what you'll see at the dark-sky parks.
Joshua Tree National Park, California
Joshua Tree National Park is a popular attraction for stargazers living on the west coast. Despite
being influenced by light pollution on its western borders from Coachella Valley cities, its relative
isolation from major cities in the east(with Phoenix being the closest city area some 300 miles away),
provides it with some of the darkest skies in California.
Elqui Valley, Chile
A popular wine region centered on the Elqui River in northern Chile, the Elqui Valley also
offers ideal conditions(high-altitude, low-population, limited cloud cover) for uncorking a bottle and
toasting the heavens above. Spanning some 90,000 acres, the region has the distinction of being
named the first-ever Dark Sky Sanctuary by the International Astronomical Union in 2015.
It's also home to nearly a dozen observatories, boutique stargazing hotels and a large variety of
tours that cover both cosmic and daytime spectacles.
Wadi Rum, Jordan
One of Jordan's most valuable tourist destinations, Wadi Rum is an otherworldly mountain
desert featuring dramatic rock formations and wind-swept rust-colored dunes. Wadi Rum is an
incredible landscape too (used for a lot of sci-fi movies like Rogue One, Prometheus and The
Martian) and it's one of the dark places where you can just sit and look up at the wonder of the night
sky with very little interruption.
Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, America
It's no surprise that Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve has been building a
reputation for good night sky viewing. The dry air, high elevation, and lack of light pollution all
make the park an ideal dark-sky destination.
The Sangre de Cristo Mountains block much of the sky glow coming from nearby cities,
shrouding(遮蔽，笼罩)the park-with its 149,164 acres of dunes, wetlands, grasslands, forests and
alpine tundra-in darkness.
1. What do we know about Joshua Tree National Park?
A. It is relatively separated from major cities.
B. It is the first dark sky park in the world.
C. It is affected by no light pollution.
D. It is named as the darkest sky in the world.
2. What helps prevent Great Sand Dunes from light?
A. The wetlands. B. The sand dune.
C. The forests. D. The mountains.
3. Who are the intended readers of the text?
A. Park goers. B. Space explorers.
C. Star observers. D. Adventurous campers.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个适合观星爱好者的景点。

The seven teenagers hurried towards the airport gate. Italy's national under-16 swimming
championship was taking place in Genoa and the boys were going to compete there. 14-year-old
Marco Sulis looked around for his teammates. Their coach sat near them. While preparing for
take-off, the flight attendant began her routine safety briefing. Most of the passengers idled away the
time engaging in chatting and eating. Although air crashes are alien to Marco, he, who perceived
how vital the process was, would later remember all her words.
During the flight, as earlier instructed, he located the nearest emergency exit and made a mental
note of the red handle behind a protective plastic shield. To open the door, one had to remove the
plastic and pull the handle.
Located by mountains to the north, the airport is often beaten by strong winds. Flight 1553 was
a short one. The sky that day was crystalline blue and visibility was perfect.
At two minutes to touchdown, the plane rocked, which was later found to be out of mechanical
faults. Soon, it touched down unstably on two wheels. The captain attempted to reduce the airplane's
speed by braking hard but it was no use. Slipping sideways, the plane rushed out into the sea at high
speed.
Tons of water poured into the cabin. Passengers were shouting and rushing towards the
emergency exit door. Marco watched people struggle with the door fruitlessly.
“Let me do it!” Marco yelled, leaping out of his seat.
Marco smashed the clear plastic with the palm of his hand. He grabbed the handle and pulled,
using all the strength in his body. The emergency exit door finally swung open. However, the
emergency door pinned Marco's leg down. Passengers passed Marco as they rushed out of the plane.
Already soaking in water, Marco knew there was no time to waste. He pushed against the door as
hard as he could and managed to free his leg. Marco exited from the plane finally and saw his coach
and teammates bobbing in the waves. He began swimming towards the concrete pier(码头).The
others followed.
When they reached the pier, they were safe at last. Even though four people were killed in the
accident, many more survived because of Marco. Marco just simply said, “All I did was to watch
safety briefing.
4. What drove Marco to remember the safety briefing?
A. His previous experience of an air accident.
B. The prediction of the upcoming crash.
C. His realization of the importance.
D. The coach's compulsory requirement.
5. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The weather condition was good for flying on the day of the accident.
B. Marco was the passenger sitting nearest to the emergency exit randomly.
C. The plane went wrong above in the sky because of the force of wind.
D. The pilot finally managed to slow down the plane with a timely brake.
6. Why didn't Marco leave the plane as soon as the exit door was opened?
A. Because he was blocked by other passengers.
B. Because one part of his body was stuck tight.
C. Because he was looking for his companions.
D. Because he was scared of the sea water outside.
7. Which of the following can best describe Marco?
A. Persistent and hardworking.
B. Ambitious and skillful.
C. Creative and considerate.
D. Alert and decisive.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】

As one of the most momentous languages in the world, Latin had humble beginnings. It
originated along the Tiber River in Italy and only a handful of people spoke the language. Over time,
Latin became more distinguished as Romans procured political power. Many famous literary texts
and scientific classifications were written in Latin. Even though knowing Latin indicated a person
was educated, according to Britannica, in the 20th century far fewer people learned Latin”, leading it
to be classified as a "dead” language.
There are around 7, 000 living languages in the world, but, according to Britannica, “more than
half are at risk of dying out by the end of the 21st century”. Civilizations evolve over time and so do
languages. More often than not, a language dies because everyone who speaks the language dies. For
example, Marie Smith Jones, perhaps the last native speaker of the Alaskan Eyak language, died at
the age of 89 in 2008, and so did the language. Now, fewer and fewer people speak Latin, which
raises public's awareness about its preservation.
Actually, there are many other reasons in respect of why Latin should be preserved or taught.
“It is a window into an engaging ancient civilization, and studying an ancient civilization teaches us
to respect different points of view and unfamiliar cultural practices," says Kathleen Coleman, James
Loeb Professor of Harvard University.
Since it isn't used in ordinary conversations, there are a lot of difficulties that arise from
teaching Latin. Teaching a 'dead' language is distinct from teaching other languages, explains
Coleman, “because there are no native speakers to demonstrate us how it sounds or answer questions
about the meanings of words or justify idioms. While it's tough, we still can find the answers to our
questions from the fragmentary evidence available in written texts.”
8. What can we learn about Latin from Paragraph 1?
A. Latin was well-known since its birth.
B. Only educated people learned Latin in the past.
C. Latin was not favored by scientists and writers.
D. All people didn't learn Latin in the 20th century.
9. The author mentions Marie Smith Jones in Paragraph 2 to show.
A. Latin is going to be a "dead” language.
B. what it really means when a language dies.
C. why people should be aware of protecting languages.
D. he is the last native speaker of the Alaskan Eyak language.
10. Why should people learn Latin according to Coleman?
A. To show unfamiliar practices.
B. To respect others' opinions.
C. To learn about an ancient society.
D. To protect a "dead” language.
11. What will the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. The learning materials.
B. The development of Latin.
C. The learning methods.
D. The difficulties in learning Latin.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了拉丁语的日渐消亡的原因以及被教授或者保护拉丁语所面临的
问题。
【8 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句 Even though knowing Latin indicated a person was educated,
according to Britannica, in the 20th century far fewer people learned Latin”, leading it to be
classified as a "dead” language.（根据《大英百科全书》，即使懂拉丁语意味着一个人受过教育，
但在 20 世纪学习拉丁语的人要少得多”，导致拉丁语被归类为“消失”语言。）可知，在 20 世纪，
并非所有人都学拉丁语。故选 D。
【9 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第四句“For example, Marie Smith Jones, perhaps the last native speaker
of the Alaskan Eyak language, died at the age of 89 in 2008, and so did the language. ”（例如，阿拉
斯加埃亚克语的最后一位母语使用者玛丽·史密斯·琼斯于 2008 年去世，享年 89 岁。埃亚克语
也是如此。）可知，文中提到 Marie Smith Jones 是为了说明第三句“More often than
not, a language dies because everyone who speaks the language dies. ”（通常情况下，一种语言的
消亡是因为说这种语言的人都死了。）所以作者在第二段提到玛丽·史密斯·琼斯来说明，当一
种语言消亡时，它意味着什么。故选 B。
【10 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“It is a window into an engaging ancient civilization, and studying
an ancient civilization teaches us to respect different points of view and unfamiliar cultural
practices”（它是一个通向迷人的古代文明的窗口，研究一个古代文明教会我们尊重不同的观点
和陌生的文化习俗）可知，人们学习拉丁语是为了了解古代社会。故选 C。
【11 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“While it's tough, we still can find the answers to our
questions from the fragmentary evidence available in written texts.”（虽然很难，但我们仍然可以
从书面文本中获得的零碎证据中找到问题的答案。）可知，接下来文章要讨论在书面文本中获
得的学习材料。故选 A。
D
What happens when you cross stem cells from a frog heart and frog skin? Not much-that is until
you program those cells to move. In that case, you've created a xenobot, a new type of organism
that's part robot, part living thing.
Now a team of scientists has used living cells from frog embryos and assembled them into
entirely new life-forms. These millimeter-wide xenobots can move toward a specific target and pull
themselves through after being cut.
These are novel living machines," says Joshua Bongarch a computer scientist and robotics
expert at the University of Vermont who co-led the new research. "They're neither a traditional robot
nor a known species of animal. It's a new living, programmable organism.
Xenobots borrow their name from Xenopus laevis, the name for the African clawed frog from
which the researchers harvested the stem cells. They combined together well two different kinds of
cells-heart and skin cells. The heart cells are competent in expanding and contracting, which aids the
xenobot in locomotion, and the skin cells administer structure. Besides, they can't accomplish tasks
without the help of computers.
By studying these curious organisms, researchers hope to learn more about the mysterious
world of cellular communication. Plus, these kinds of robo-organisms could possibly be the key to
drug transmission in the body or greener environmental clean-up techniques.
“Most technologies are made from steel, concrete, chemicals, and plastics, which degrade(降
解)over time and can generate harmful ecological and health side effects the authors note in a
research paper. "When these xenobots finally do stop working, they fall apart harmlessly.
“Promising as these organisms are, when we start to mess around with complex systems that we
don't understand, we're going to get unintended consequences Michael Levin, a biophysicist and
co-author of the study, says in a press statement.
12. What do we know about the xenobot?
A. It is not easy to degrade over time.
B. It can recover itself after being cut.
C. It will never die with a computer inside.
D. It is named after a kind of American frog.
13. What does the underlined word “locomotion" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Appearance. B. Position.
C. Application. D. Movement.
14. According to the text xenobots can be employed to .
A. recycle waste in nature.
B. replace certain damaged organs.
C. deliver medicine inside patients.
D. improve communication technology.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Xenobots can be put into the market soon.
B. Xenobots are created totally by accident.
C. More research should be done on xenobots.
D. It is hard for people to understand xenobots.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对一种可以用于医学治疗的外星机器人进行了说明。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“These millimeter-wide xenobots can move toward a
specific target and pull themselves through after being cut.”（这些毫米宽的外星机器人可以移动到
一个特定的目标，并在被切割后将自己拉过去。）可知外星机器人在被切割后可以恢复自身。
故选 B。
2.词句猜测题。根据第四段的第三句“The heart cells are competent in expanding and contracting”
（心脏细胞能够扩张和收缩）可推测，心脏细胞帮助机器人运动， “locomotion”意思是运
动。故选 D 。
3.细节理解题。根据第五段第二句中的“these kinds of robo-organisms could possibly be the key to
drug transmission in the body”（这些机器生物可能是药物在体内传播的关键）可知外星机器人
可以被用来在病人体内运送药物。故选 C。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“we’re going to get unintended consequences”（我们将会得到意
想不到的后果）可知机器人可能带来无法预测的结果，因此可推测还需要更多的研究。故选 C。
第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2. 5 分，满分 12. 5 分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两
项为多余选项。
So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person, from busy schedules to
long distances to a rather unexpected pandemic. ___16___ But if you're someone who's more
prone(倾向于)to typed out messages than verbal ones, you may want to reconsider. ___17___
A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication
interactions that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social bonds than
communication through typing, like text messaging or email. In the study, researchers used various
experiments to estimate connectedness. In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about
what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people
at random to do one or the other. ___18___ "People reported they did form a significantly stronger
bond with their old friend on the phone versus email, and they did not feel more awkward,“ study
co-author Amit Kumar, an assistant professor of marketing at the McCombs School of Business, said
in a statement.
___19___ They found that both forms of voice communication-whether video or audio
only-made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via text.
Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says
___20___ “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the
message,” she explains. “Each party is more present, and therefore, able to gauge the meaning
behind the content without ruminating on the endless possible meanings behind words and
punctuation.”
A. “Texting corresponds information exactly in the way people intend.”
B. “In reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation.”
C. People held the view that a phone call was really awkward and reconnected with their friends by
email.
D. Fortunately, thanks to modern technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text
message away.
E. According to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people you're talking to, you
should call them instead of texting.
F. In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video
chat, or talking using only audio.
G. Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone's voice
actually made the experience better.
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. G 19. F 20. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。向我们介绍了科研人员研究发现，打电话或视频等有声音的联系
比文字更能让社交有效，无论老朋友还是陌生人。
【16 题详解】
上文“So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person, from busy schedules to
long distances to a rather unexpected pandemic.”指出生活中有许多事情阻止我们见到我们所爱
的人们。选项说明了现代科技，解决了那些问题。D 项内容"Fortunately, thanks to modern
technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away"，
很幸运，多亏了现代科技，一个电话，一个短消息我们就能联系到我们想念的人。切题。故
选 D 项。
【17 题详解】
上文“But if you're someone who's more prone(倾向于)to typed out messages than verbal ones, you
may want to reconsider.（可是如果你更倾向于键盘打字打出来的文字信息，而不是口头表达的
话，你该反思，重新考虑了。）”，选项在强调有声交流的效果更好。由 E 项“According to science,
if you want to feel more connected to the people you're talking to, you should call them instead of
texting”可知科学研究表明，如果你想和人们保持亲近感，那你应该给他们打电话，而不是发
送文字消息。E 选项内容契合上文。故选 E 项。
【18 题详解】
上文“In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect
with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other.”
可知，研究人员要求 200 人预测通过 Email 和打电话与老朋友取得联系，之后让他们去随机
用其中一种去验证。G 项“Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward,
hearing someone's voice actually made the experience better.”表明实验结果，虽人们预期打电话
可能会打扰到对方，但听到对方声音真是一种更好的体验。契合上文，符合开头的实验结论。
故选 G 项。
【19 题详解】
上文第二段“In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to
reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or
the other.”在一个实验中，让人们分别用两种方式和老朋友联系。F 选项“In another experiment,
the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only
audio.”在另一个实验中，让人们分别用两种方式联系陌生人，与上文呼应。下文“They found
that both forms of voice communication-whether video or audio only-made the strangers feel
significantly more connected than when they communicated via text.”他们发现音频或视频这两
种声音交流都能比文字短消息更能使陌生人感觉关系更近一些。展示两种方式和陌生人联系
的实验结果，契合 F 选项内容。故选 F 项。
【20 题详解】
由 B 项“In reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation.”
在现实生活中，发短信会让人很难判断谈话背后的真实意思。可知在说发送文字消息的弊端，
该 空 下 文 “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the
message”在说通电话和短消息相比的优点。上下文为并列关系，介绍了优缺点。故选 B 项。

【答案】36. themselves

38. on 39. currently
40. to provide
41. Priced 42. comes
43. whenever/ when/if
44. homesickness
45. who
【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。介绍了 My Baggage 网站目前正在销售来自英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士和北
爱尔兰的“正宗”空气，为疫情期间滞留海外的英国人提供家乡的味道。
【36 题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：由于新冠疫情之下旅行限制不断变化，今年世界各地许多人发现自己
被困在远离家乡的地方。此处“他们”就是指主语 many people，所以此处应用反身代词作宾语。
故填 themselves。
【37 题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：在英国，一种快速传播的新型冠状病毒已经导致世界上几个国家禁止
前往该国旅行，这意味着大量目前在国外的居民短期内无法返回。lead to sb doing 意为“导致
某人做某事”，为固定搭配。故填 imposing。
【38 题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：在英国，一种快速传播的新型冠状病毒已经导致世界上几个国家禁止
前往该国旅行，这意味着大量目前在国外的居民短期内无法返回。表示“对于……的禁止”应用
介词 on。故填 on。
【39 题详解】
考查副词。句意：该公司目前正在销售来自英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰的“正宗”空气，
为海外的英国人提供家乡的味道。修饰动词 selling 应用副词。故填 currently。
【40 题详解】
考查不定式。句意：该公司目前正在销售来自英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰的“正宗”
空气，为海外的英国人提供家乡的味道。销售来自英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰的“正
宗”空气的目的是为海外的英国人提供家乡的味道，所以应用不定式作目的状语。故填 to
provide。
【41 题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：这款 500 毫升的空气瓶售价 25 英镑，配有软木塞，所以当/如果人们想
闻一闻家乡的味道的时候，接收器可以随时打开瓶盖，接收味道。动词 price 意为“定价”，和
逻辑主语 the 500 milliliter bottle 构成被动关系，且动作已完成，所以用过去分词作状语。故
填 Priced。
【42 题详解】
考查一般现在时和主谓一致。句意同上。此处描述现在的事情，所以应用一般现在时。主语
the 500 milliliter bottle 为第三人称单数。故填 comes。
【43 题详解】
考查状语从句。句意同上。此处表示“当人们需要的时候”可用 when 或者 whenever，表示“如
果人们需要”可用 if。故填 whenever/ when/if。
【44 题详解】
考查名词。句意：通过让接收者深吸一口来自祖国的空气，我们希望能缓解他们的思乡之情，
帮助他们适应新的生活，不管他们在哪里。及物动词 ease 后应用名词作宾语。故填
homesickness。
【45 题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：据 My Baggage 所说，绝大多数的订单来自那些购买空气瓶作为礼物送
给海外朋友或家人的人。定语从句中缺少主语，且先行词为 those（那些人）。所以应用关系代
词 who。故填 who。

第二节(满分 25 分)
47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The
house was very old and shabby and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he
would not say hello to his neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents
told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of the other neighborhood children were told the
same thing from their parents.
As he was ready to walk away the door slowly opened. “What do you want?” the old man said
impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota(份额) to meet for school with selling
the magazines. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and uh, I
was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.”
The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man’s
house and saw that he had dog figurines(小雕像) on the fireplace mantle. “Do you collect dogs?”
The little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here and they
are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
“Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs
since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, “No,
boy. I don’t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.”
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad
for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea.
He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean
nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.
注意：

Paragraph 2:
From that day on something changed inside the old man.

_______________________________________________________________
【答案】The boy headed back down to the old man’s house. He knocked on the door again and this
time the old man came right to the door. “Boy, I thought I told you no magazines!” The old man
stared at him angrily. “I know that, sir. I just wanted to bring you a gift.” The little boy handed him
the dog figurine. Looking at the boy, the old man was too surprised to say anything and simply
smiled in tears, as no one had ever shown him so much kindness.
From that day on something changed inside the old man. He started coming out of the house
and talking to his neighbors. Soon, he and the boy became friends. The boy visited the old man
frequently and brought his real live dog to his house once in a while. He even invited the old man to
join his family for Christmas dinner. With the boy’s company, the old man was no longer alonely
soul.
【解析】
【分析】
本篇考察的作文类型是读后续写。
【详解】前文主要讲的是男孩去老人家里推销杂志，发现老人家里有很多小狗的雕像，于是
和老人交谈中了解到老人喜欢收集狗，但是拒绝买男孩的杂志。于是男孩第二天准备将一个
几年前从一个阿姨那里得到的小狗雕像拿去送给老人。在给的第一段开头中，“The little boy
headed back down to the old man’s house.”“headed back”意思是“朝……走去”，第一段后文
围绕着老人的反应来展开；第二段开头 From that day on something changed inside the old man.
中 something changed 是关键词，后文主要围绕着老人的变化而展开。
