一、阅读理解
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
A
. A study of the drug found it reduced the risk of deaths caused by bleeding during childbirth by nearly one
third. The study involved 20，000 women in 21 countries, mainly in Africa and Asia. The trial was carried out by
London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. The drug is called tranexamic acid(凝血酸). It is lowcost and
researchers said it does not cause serious side effects for mothers or babies.
The drug is used to treat mothers for serious bleeding during childbirth. Postpartum hemorrhage(产后出血)is
the leading cause of maternity(产妇的)death worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.
Haleema Shakur is the project director of the trial. She says though medical conditions are improved in many
countries, serious bleeding after childbirth remains a big problem in some parts of the world. “It’s one of the
biggest killers of mothers. In Africa and Asia, about 10 percent of women will end up with serious bleeding.” The
drug works after a mother gives birth.
Shakur said the best results were reported when the drug was given to women as soon as possible after
childbirth. “The earlier you give it—so within the first three hours of giving birth—the better the effect is.”
The next step will be to find where the drug is needed and provide training for doctors and nurses on how to
use it. During the trial, women were given the drug in a hospital. But researchers are looking for easier ways to use
the drug so it can be more widely used in small clinics and rural areas.

Karen, grown up in a very traditional family in the western United States,
maintained high moral(道德的)standards throughout her youth. In 1984, at the age of
23, she married Bill. They were blessed with two children, a boy and a girl.
By 1991 their love had deepened, and they were happy. Later that year, Bill
developed a white spot on his tongue. He visited a doctor.
One day shortly after that, Bill called Karen to sit beside him. He said with tears in his eyes that he loved her
and wanted to live forever with her. The doctor suspected that he had been infected with HIV, the virus that leads to
AIDS.
The family was tested. Bill and Karen’s results were positive. Bill had become infected before he met Karen;
then he passed the virus on to Karen. The children’s results were negative. Within three years, Bill was dead, “I
don’t know how to express what it is like to watch the once handsome man you love and intend to live with forever
dying slowly. I cried many nights. He died three months short of ten years of our marriage, ” says Karen. Though a
doctor told Karen that she would soon follow her husband into death, she is still alive. The infection has progressed
to the early stages of AIDS.
Karen is one of about 30 million people now living with HIV/AIDS, a figure larger than the combined
populations of Australia, Iceland and Paraguay. According to one UN report, Africa has 21 million of these victims.
By the turn of the century that number could reach 40 million and the disease will bring on the greatest disaster in
human history. Of the world’s sexually active adults aged 15 to 49, 1 in 100 has already been infected with HIV. Of
these, only 1 in 10 realizes that he or she is infected. In some parts of Africa, 25 percent of adults are infected.
Since the beginning of spread of AIDS in 1981, about 11.7 million people have died of it. It is roughly
calculated that in 1997 alone, about 2.3 million people died of it. Nevertheless, there are fresh reasons for optimism
in the battle against AIDS. During the past few years, there has been a drop in new AIDS cases in wealthy nations.
In addition, promising drugs hold out hope of better health and longer life.

C
Remember when your mom told you not to eat too many candy bars or sweets because they can cause tooth
decay(蛀牙)? However, it turns out that chocolate can be more salutary to your teeth than you might expect. Recent
studies show that chocolate can effectively fight against tooth decay, as if we need another excuse to eat chocolate.
Chocolate offers protection like fluoride, a main ingredient in most household toothpastes. Not only does
chocolate protect our teeth, but it can do so very effectively. Studies show that chocolate has compounds that
provide strong protection for teeth. One of the compounds in chocolate, CBH, is shown to protect even more
effectively than fluoride.
Tooth decay happens when bacteria work to turn sugar into acids in our mouth. This is why eating foods with
high sugar content can lead to more tooth decay. The compounds in chocolate, however, are antibacteria and can
fight against bacteria in your mouth. The CBH compound in particular also works to strengthen tooth enamel (牙釉
质), and protects against tooth decay.
Does this mean you can cat as much chocolate as you want without worrying about your teeth? It depends on
the types of chocolate that you like. The protective effect of chocolate is most effective when you chew on cocoa
beans. Of course, this option is not very appealing to; most people. A more tasty option is to choose dark chocolate
with little sugar content, ideally no more than 6 to 8 grams per serving. For other types of chocolate with higher
sugar content, the effect will be lessened. However, because of the protective compounds, it is still better for your
teeth than other sweets and desserts containing the same amount of sugar.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巧克力能有效防止蛀牙的原理。
8.The word “salutary” in paragraph 1 means?
A. Beneficial. B. Harmful. C. Familiar. D. Useless.
【答案】A
【解析】词义猜测题。根据文章第一段第一句“Remember when your mom told you not to eat too many candy
bars or sweets because they can cause tooth decay (蛀牙)?( 还记得你妈妈告诉你不要吃太多的糖块
或糖果，因为它们会蛀牙吗？)”及第三句“Recent studies show that chocolate can effectively fight
against tooth decay, as if we need another excuse to eat chocolate.(最近的研究表明，巧克力可以有效
地防止蛀牙，就好像我们需要另一个吃巧克力的借口一样)”可知，巧克力对牙齿的保护作用主要
归因于其本身含有的复合物，这就如同很多家庭使用的牙膏中所含有的护齿成分。由此推知，划
线词 salutary 为“有益的”之意。故选 A。
9.What can we know about the compound CBH in chocolate?
A. It can help chocolate cure tooth decay. B. It can effectively stop teeth from decaying.
C. It may protect teeth better than toothpastes do. D. It may soon replace most household toothpastes.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句“The CBH compound in particular also works to strengthen
tooth enamel(牙釉质), and protects against tooth decay.(尤其是 CBH 化合物还可以加强牙釉质，防
止蛀牙)”可推断，巧克力含有的一种复合物甚至比牙膏中的氟化物的护齿效果要好。故选 C。
10.How does chocolate fight tooth decay?
A. By breaking down acids. B. By building up compounds.
C. By fixing up tooth enamel. D. By fighting against bacteria.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段第三句“The compounds in chocolate, however, are antibacteria and can
fight against bacteria in your mouth.(然而，巧克力中的化合物是抗菌的，可以对抗口腔中的细菌)”
可知，巧克力对抗蛀牙的原理主要是其含有的复合物能够对抗口腔中的细菌。故选 D。
11.What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Chocolate plays the role of toothpaste. B. Chocolate protects against tooth decay.
C. Chocolate is the best choice for teeth protection. D. Chocolate is healthier to teeth than other sweets.
【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。根据全文，特别是文章第一段“Recent studies show that chocolate can effectively fight
against tooth decay, as if we need another excuse to eat chocolate.(最近的研究表明，巧克力可以有效
地防止蛀牙，就好像我们需要另一个吃巧克力的借口一样)”及最后一段可知，文章主要介绍了巧
克力有效防止蛀牙的原理，文中并未提到巧克力可代替牙膏等观点。故选 B。
D
People at risk of a heart attack or stroke could benefit from
bloodpressurelowering drugs even if their blood pressure is considered in
the normal, healthy range. If such drugs were offered to people with heart
risks regardless of their blood pressure at the beginning of treatment, it
could save millions of lives, researchers in Oxford University found.
For the study, the team analyzed more than 120 medical trials, including around 600, 000 people conducted
over two decades, saying their findings are a call for an urgent review of existing blood pressure treatment
guidelines. “Our findings clearly show that treating blood pressure to a lower level could greatly reduce the risk of
heart disease, if widely conducted, ” said the study’s lead author Kazem Rahimi.
High blood pressure has long been identified as a factor in higher risks of heart disease and strokes, and
makes more than a billion people around the globe suffer torment, including one out of three U. S. adults.
Blood pressure is recorded in millimeters of mercury(mmHg)as two numbers in a ratio: “systolic(心脏收缩
的)”pressure inside the arteries(动脉)when the heart beats as the top number, and “diastolic(心脏舒张的)” pressure
between heartbeats, as the heart rests and is refilled with blood. “Normal” blood pressure is considered at 120/80 or
below, and is considered “high” at 140/90 or above, according to the American Heart Association. The researchers
said their study showed that for every reduction in systolic pressure of 10 mmHg, the risk of heart attacks was
reduced by a fifth and that of a stroke around a quarter.
Some experts said they thought the study’s findings were important but did offer some warnings. “One
important warning is that not everyone will be able to tolerate having their blood pressure reduced to low levels,
and there is a need to balance possible side effects of the drug and likely benefits, ” Smith said.
【语篇解读】牛津大学研究人员最近发现降血压药物有助于降低心脏病发作或中风的概率。这一发现可能
会挽救数百万人的性命。
12.What do the findings indicate?
A. Normal blood pressure doesn’t mean a healthy body.
B. The existing blood pressure treatment is useless.
C. High blood pressure is the first health killer.
D. People with heart risks must use drugs to lower pressure.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，牛津大学的研究人员发现，即使在血压正常的情况下，有
心脏病发作或中风风险的人们也能从降压的药物中获益。如果这种药物在治疗的一开始就用在可
能患心脏病的人身上，而不考虑他们的血压，这可能会挽救数百万人的生命。也就是说，一个人
即使血压正常，也不见得身体就健康。故选 A 项。
13.What does the underlined word “torment” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Tolerance. B. Loss. C. Pain. D. Despair.
【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。由第三段中的“High blood pressure has long been identified as a factor in higher risks of
heart disease and strokes”可知，高血压一直被视为有较高风险引发心脏病和中风的一个因素，紧
接着说“makes more than a billion people around the globe suffer torment”，根据语境，这里应指“让
全球超过十亿的人遭受痛苦”， pain 与 torment 的意思相近，故选 C 项。
14.Paragraph 4 mainly shows us _______.
A. how to measure blood pressure B. what high and normal blood pressures are
C. the factors in heart attacks and strokes D. the connection between some diseases and blood pressure
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。作者在第四段的前半部分解释了正常血压和高血压的数据，并且解释了在测量血
压时的专业术语：收缩压和舒张压。由第四段最后一句“ ... for every reduction in systolic pressure of
10 mmHg, the risk of heart attacks was reduced by a fifth and that of a stroke around a quarter. ”可知，
收缩压降低 10 毫米汞柱，心脏病发作的风险会降低五分之一，中风的风险会降低四分之一左右。
由此可知，作者写作第四段是为了解释某些疾病和血压之间的关系，故选 D 项。
15.What can be inferred from Smith’s words?
A. He thought less of the findings. B. Reducing blood pressure isn’t safe for everyone.
C. Most experts disagree with the findings. D. Side effects of the drug are bigger than benefits.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。由最后一段最后一句“One important warning is that not everyone will be able to tolerate
having their blood pressure reduced to low levels ...”Smith said. 可知，史密斯认为这项研究的结果
固然重要，但是也发出警告：并不是人人都能忍受把血压降低，即降低血压并非对每个人来说都
是安全的，故选 B 项。
二、七选五
根据短文内容，从短文后的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。
Drugs are chemicals that change the way a person’s body works. You’ve probably heard that drugs are bad for
you, but what does that mean and why are they bad?
Medicines Are Legal Drugs
1 you already know about one kind of drugs. Medicines are legal drugs, meaning doctors are allowed
to prescribe them for patients, stores can sell them, and people are allowed to buy them.
Illegal Drugs
When people talk about a “drug problem”, they usually mean abusing legal drugs or using illegal drugs, such
as cocaine(冰毒)and heroin to get “high”.
2
Illegal drugs aren’t good for anyone, but they are particularly bad for a kid or teen whose body is still
growing。 Illegal drugs can damage the brain, heart, and other important organs. Cocaine, for instance, can cause a
heart attack even in a kid or teen. While using drugs, people are also less able to do well in school, sports, and
other activities. It’s often harder to think clearly and make good decisions. 3
Why Do People Use Illegal Drugs?
Sometimes kids and teens try drugs to fit in with a group of friends. 4 Someone may use illegal drugs
for many reasons, but often because they help the person escape from reality for a while.
5 And using drugs often causes other problems on top of the problems the person had in the first
place. Somebody who uses drugs might need professional help to slop using drugs. A grownup can help the person
find the treatment needed to stop using drugs. Another way kids can help kids is by choosing not to try or use drugs.
A. Why Are Illegal Drugs Dangerous?
B. Are Illegal Drugs Dangerous for People?
C. Drugs don’t solve problems, of course.
D. Or they might be curious or just bored.
E. When you are not feeling well or right,
F. If you’ve ever been sick and had to take medicine,
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，对“药物”的相关知识进行了详细讲解，既谈及生病时所吃的药(medicine)，
也介绍了非法药物(illegal drugs)的巨大危害性。
1.【答案】F
【解析】本空是一个半句，根据小标题及其后“Medicines are legal drugs, meaning doctors are allowed to
prescribe them for patients, stores can sell them, and people are allowed to buy them.”可以看出生病
时医生开出的药物属于合法药物，医生能开，药店能销售，普通人也被允许购买。因此本段在
说的是“生病吃药”这一方面的内容，当你生病了，不得不吃药时，就已经提前知道、了解了
一种药物(再去吃)。F 符合本段语境，且 sick 和 medicine 等关键词也与本段内容呼应，故选 F。
2.【答案】A
【解析】该空处于小标题的位置，属于对下文段落的概括。通读全段内容可知，本段介绍的是毒品等非
法药物对人的巨大危害性，“Illegal drugs can damage the brain, heart, and other important organs.
Cocaine, for instance, can cause a heart attack even in a kid or teen.”等句子明确地说明了巨大危害
性的体现，包括对脑部、心脏、其它重要器官的损伤，哪怕在青少年时期，也可能因这些药物
而突发心脏病。A 选项“为什么非法药物是危险的？”准确恰当，故选 A。
3.【答案】G
【解析】该空上一句“It’s often harder to think clearly and make good decisions.”(嗑药之后常常难以清晰地思
考并做出正确决策)，可推断在脑子不清醒的情况下，接下来很可能会做出危险的事情，G 选项
“当人们使用这些药物时，可能会做出危险的事”承接上一句的语境，正确，故选 G。
4.【答案】D
【解析】根据本段标题“Why Do People Use Illegal Drugs?”可知，本段介绍为什么有人会去使用非法药物，
该空上文“Sometimes kids and teens try drugs to fit in with a group of friends.”说明为了合群，下文
“Someone may use illegal drugs for many reasons, but often because they help the person escape from
reality for a while.”(有很多原因，但常是因为这些非法药物帮助人们短暂逃离现实)说明四为了短
暂逃离现实，上下文都是列举原因，可推测位于中间的这个空也是列举原因，D 选项“或者他
们可能是出于好奇，或者仅仅是觉得无聊”符合这一内容，故选 D。
5.【答案】C
【解析】根据该空下一句“And using drugs often causes other problems on top of the problems the person had in
the first place.”(并且嗑药经常会导致其它的问题，这些问题比人们一开始遇到的问题要严重多了)
可推知上一句讲的是“嗑药当然不能解决问题”，C 选项符合语境，且 problems 与下一句的 other
problems 和 the problems the person had in the first place 相互呼应，逻辑严密，故选 C。

【答案】
Dear Jack,
How is everything going? As is mentioned in your WeChat, Traditional Chinese Medicine has shown great
power in 2020 epidemic prevention. Now I’d like to tell you some advantages of it as follows.
To begin with, Chinese herbs come from materials that are purely natural, which have small side effects. In
addition, Traditional Chinese Medicine is increasingly popular with western countries. Last but not least, with
further studies, scientists have found that Chinese herbs are useful in treating some illnesses, such as cancer and
AIDS.
As a Chinese, I believe that Traditional Chinese Medicine can help to create a healthier world. Do take care!
Yours,
Li Hua
写作(二)
My wife, Megan, and I went out to dinner with an old friend who we had not seen in a while. There had been
some talk of COVID19 on the news, but it was early in the outbreak and people were still going about their daily
routines. Even though everyone in our group felt perfectly fine, we took precautions(预防): We washed our hands
with soap , did not share food and had no significantly close contact.
A few days later, our friend called and told us that she had tested positive for the coronavirus. She had felt
some mild symptomsfor a day or so after that dinner and was able to be tested because she is a doctor. On the
following day, started to feel a little tired and my head was a bit cloudy. I decided to stay in the master bedroom
away from the rest of my family. The next morning. I woke up with a 39degree fever. That was when we realized
that I might have caught the virus from our friend.
At once, Megan called our state’s coronavirus hotline, who then called in our primary care doctor and the head
of our local hospital system’s coronavirus team. We explained that we had been in contact with someone who had
been tested positive, and I was having symptoms. They quickly approved me to receive a test at an urgent care
center located five minutes’ drive from my house. The result made my heart sank—I was also tested positive, and
the local hospital wasn’t equipped with the facilities to treat my disease. As a mild case, I was recommended to stay
at home and quarantine(隔离)myself.
Following the doctor’s advice, Megan and I quarantined ourselves and our children. With my developed
symptoms , I started isolation in the bedroom, and the only interaction I had with Megan was when she brought in
food. Megan slept on a small couch in our home office away from the kids’ rooms. She also minimized her contact
with our kids in case she was carrying the virus.

【答案】
We decided to call everyone we had been in contact with over the course of the past week. Megan insisted that
we should let them know that I had tested positive. Hard as it was to inform people that we might have given them
the coronavirus, it was the responsible thing to do. To our pleasant surprise, all of our friends showed their
understanding and support upon hearing the news. To cheer us up, one of my wife’s best friends even baked a cake
with the letters "Stay strong" on it and delivered it to our front door.
Though worried about the seriousness of the virus. I knew I had to be brave. I made sure to get plenty of rest
and did some exercise to stay as healthy as I could. I also managed to ease the worries of Megan and our kids
during our quarantine by spending more time doing online videochats with them. Within the following week, my
fever started to fade and I could feel my head clearing. The next test showed a cheering result. It came back
negative. Had it not been for the love and care from those around me, I wouldn’t have made it.
