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
How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends? What if the only way of
getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took ages to be sent? This was how things worked not
very long ago. Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed
greatly.
Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with the people that we want to make friends
with. Social media tools let us sec what our friends are up to and keep friendships. All you need is a wi-fi
connection.
The digital age also enables us to find people who share our interests, such as collecting model cars or playing
an unusual instrument Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them,
even if they live on the other side of the world.
But when you "friend" people online, does this mean that they really are your friends?
It depends.
If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and
meaningful. But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a
person.
On social media sites, people would like to post only positive updates that make them appear happy and
friendly. But smiling photos can hide real problems. Remember the saying: on the Internet, nobody knows you’re a
dog. A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information with
criminals.
But this doesn’t mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. Although technology has changed
the way we find friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends is the same. As Aristotle said, no one
would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.
【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。文中作者指出科技使我们和朋友保持联系变得更加容易，数字时代也使我
们能够找到和我们有共同兴趣的人。说明了网上交友的优点和缺点，指出虽然科技改变了我
们找朋友的方式，但友谊的意义和我们对朋友的渴望是一样的。

There have been a lot of reports recently surrounding 5G, the next generation of wireless technology for the
world. But what is this technology and how might it change our lives?
5G stands for fifth generation, meaning the next step in the development of technology to replace the current
4G system. 4G was the replacement for 3G, which came after 2G, and so on. Earlier "G" systems were designed to
improve mobile communication operations. Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and
greatly increa sed network capacity(容量). The new 5G system promises more of the same. However, technology
experts say there is a major way that 5G is different than the earlier systems. It will move well beyond mobile
network technology to affect many more devices and industries than other "G" versions.
Wireless industry groups say 5G will help fuel future "smart cities" by connecting sensor(传感器)networks.
5G is also expected to connect self-driving cars and support new technologies involving virtual reality. Higher 5G
speeds could also permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations. Factories and businesses could
use 5G technology to increase automation and improve the collection of information.
Every coin has two sides. Much of the data could contain private details about individuals, businesses or
government organizations. The increased data flow would give internet attackers a lot more possibilities to steal and
misuse data. In addition, the wider use of a 5G wireless network means any breakdown of the system would have
more widespread and severe results. Such difficulties could affect public safety as well as world economic activity.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了 5G 的到来以及 5G 给人类社会、给社会经济带来的积极
和消极影响。
4.What major effects will 5G have on our lives?
A. It will influence more devices and industries.
B. It will improve internet speed and network capacity.
C. It will be under the control of mobile network technology.
D. It will contribute to the mobile communication operations.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, technology experts say there is a major way that 5G is different
than the earlier systems. It will move well beyond mobile network technology to affect many more
devices and industries than other ‘G’ versions.(然而，技术专家表示，5G 与之前的系统有一个主要不
同之处。它将远远超越移动网络技术，比其他“G”版本影响更多的设备和行业。)”可知，5G 将影
响更多的行业和设备。因此 A 选项符合文章内容。故选 A。
5.What can we learn about “smart cities” from the passage?
A. Smart city is only based on wireless industry.
B. Self-driving cars have been in wide use in smart cities.
C. Many smart cities have been built all over the world.
D. The development of 5G promotes the construction of smart cities.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Wireless industry groups say 5G will help fuel future "smart cities" by
connecting sensor networks.(无线产业组织表示，5G 将通过连接传感器网络为未来的“智能城市”提
供燃料。)”由此可知，5G 的发展促进了智慧城市的建设。故选 D。
6.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The function of 5G technology. B. The future of 5G technology.
C. The possible risks of 5G technology. D. The advantages of 5G technology.
【答案】C
【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Every coin has two sides.(凡事都有两面性。)”可知，最后一段讲述
的与上文所讲述的是对立的。文章最后一句“Such difficulties could affect public safety as well as
world economic activity.(这些困难可能会影响公共安全以及世界经济活动。)”由此可知，最后一段
讲述的都是 5G 可能带来的危害。C 选项 The possible risks of 5G technology.(5G 技术可能带来的风
险。)更为贴切。故选 C。
7.What’s the author’s attitude towards 5G?
A. Indifferent. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Negative.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。通读全文，文章中作者并没有表达自己对于 5G 的态度，根据文章第四段“Every coin
has two sides.(凡事都有两面性。)”可知，作者是以严谨客观的态度对 5G 进行分析。故选 B。
C
If you live in a city, then it’s easy to take internet connectivity for granted, but in more rural areas，it is a
different story. Connectivity is uneven. As of 2018, the last time figures were published, seven per cent of rural
households could not access broadband faster than lOmbps，despite the average speed in cities being 52mbps.
Around the wcrld, there are still huge areas of territory, from deserts to oceans, that the internet is still yet to reach.
But the urban/rural divide could be set to disappear over the next few years thanks to rocket company Spacex
and an astonishingly ambitious project called Starlink. The aim is to use thousands of satellites in orbit above our
heads to deliver broadband-comparable internet speeds to literally everywhere on Earth, with no need for expensive
wires, transmitters or other infrastructure on the ground. Claims have been made that it could reach speeds of up to
lGbps, which is 20 times faster than what most British homes receive today.
Spacex will need to launch thousands of satellites to fully complete the network over the Earth. At present,
there are only around 2,000 or so other satellites in Lower Earth Orbit in total. So if Starlink’s ambitions are
realised, it could double or triple the number of satellites in orbit. So far, just over 700 have been successfully
launched by the company and the first internet connections using the system are already being tested.
It is likely that over the next few years, Starlink could begin to offer ground-station satellite receivers that will
connect to’ the satellites and then, in turn. you could connect your computer or phone to that However, not
everyone loves Starlink. There is one drawback to having so many satellites in orbit around the Earth : they risk
making life a lot more difficult for astronomers
Ultimately though, for all of the protestations, it is surely unavoidable that Starlink, will become an essential
part of Earth’s telecommunications backbone. The obvious usefulness of such a network ‘would be just too exciting
for governments, businesses ,and individuals to resist. The urban/rural digital divide will no longer exist.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要解释了 Starlink 将如何彻底改变全球互联网连接的。
8.The word “uneven” in Para. 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. various B. slow C. accessible D. unbalanced
【答案】D
【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“As of 2018, the last time figures were published, seven per cent of rural
households could not access broadband faster than lOmbps，despite the average speed in cities being
52mbps. Around the wcrld, there are still huge areas of territory, from deserts to oceans, that the internet
is still yet to reach.”(据上次公布的数据，截至 2018 年，7%的农村家庭的宽带接入速度无法超过
lOmbps，尽管城市的平均网速为 52mbps。在世界各地，从沙漠到海洋，仍有大片地区尚未接入
互联网。)可推测，全球范围内，网络连接是不均衡的，由此可知画线词词义为“不均衡的”，故选
D。
9.What’s the purpose of Starlink?
A. To launch satellites in orbit over our head.
B. To use satellites to deliver internet connection to almost the whole world.
C. To reach speeds of up to 1Gbps.
D. To offer ground-station satellite receivers.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解。根据文章第二段第二句“The aim is to use thousands of satellites in orbit above our heads to
deliver broadband-comparable internet speeds to literally everywhere on Earth, with no need for
expensive wires, transmitters or other infrastructure on the ground.”(其目标是利用我们头顶轨道上的
数千颗卫星，向地球上任何地方提供与之相当的宽带网速，而不需要昂贵的电线、发射机或其他
地面基础设施。)可知，Starlink 的目的是用卫星把互联网连接到全世界。故选 B。
10.What’s the author’s attitude toward Starlink?
A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Ambiguous.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断。根据文章最后一段“Ultimately though, for all of the protestations, it is surely unavoidable
that Starlink, will become an essential part of Earth’s telecommunications backbone. The obvious
usefulness of such a network ‘would be just too exciting for governments, businesses ,and individuals to
resist. The urban/rural digital divide will no longer exist.”(尽管如此，从根本上说，Starlink 将不可避
免地成为地球电信支柱的重要组成部分。这样一个网络的明显用处“将会让政府、企业和个人兴
奋得无法抗拒。”城乡数字鸿沟将不复存在。)可推知，作者对于 Starlink 的态度是赞成的。A.
Skeptical 怀疑的；B. Favorable 赞成的，有利的；C. Disapproving 反对的；D. Ambiguous 模棱两
可的。故选 B。
11.What can we infer from the passage?
A. Spacex has launched l,400 satellites in orbit.
B. We can have phones directly connect to the satellites now
C. All people don’t love Starlink.
D. Governments, businesses and individuals resist such a network.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第四段“However, not everyone loves Starlink. ”(然而，并不是每个人都喜欢
Starlink。)可推知，并非所有人都喜欢 Starlink。故选 C。
D
The widespread application of internet technology has made our lives easier but poses a big challenge to
senior citizens, who are not always comfortable with smart phones and so many new apps.
In China, only a few senior citizens are able to enjoy the benefits that new technologies offer. According to the
National Bureau of Statistics, the number of people aged 60 and above was 253.88 million in 2019, that is 18
percent of China’s population. But only 23 percent of the senior citizens were able to access the internet. That
means more than three-fourths of the elderly are deprived of the digital convenience.
Failure to access the internet or use smart phones has increased difficulties for them. They cannot even take a
taxi easily in this era of app cabs. There have been reports of many shops turning away elders who don’t know how
to pay using smart phones, instead of letting them pay in cash. Many elders who can’t use smart phones are facing
difficulties during this pandemic, as they cannot access the internet-based health code required for entry into many
public places as part of the epidemic prevention and control measures.
New technologies become popular because they are often of great use in our daily lives. But many senior
citizens, especially those living in rural areas or those whose grownup children don’t live with them, cannot access
the internet or smart phones, either because of financial restrictions or because they cannot learn new things beyond
a certain point. The digital gap between the elderly and the young is becoming more pronounced.
However, the senior citizens should not become a silent group deprived of digital benefits. It is society’s
responsibility to help them bridge the digital gap, and be patient with them when they face difficulties keeping pace
with times.
【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。互联网技术的广泛应用使我们的生活更加便利，但也给老年人带来了巨大
的挑战，他们对智能手机和这么多新的应用程序并不总是感到舒适。文章主要说明了中国超
过四分之三的老年人不会使用网络和智能服务，这给他们的生活带来了不便，而帮助他们跨
越数字鸿沟是社会的责任。
12.What do we learn from the text?

D. Smart phones and apps are not designed for the elderly.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“In China, only a few senior citizens are able to enjoy the benefits that new
technologies offer. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of people aged 60 and
above was 253.88 million in 2019, that is 18 percent of China’s population. But only 23 percent of the
senior citizens were able to access the internet. That means more than three-fourths of the elderly are
deprived of the digital convenience.(在中国，只有少数老年人能够享受到新技术带来的好处。根据
国家统计局的数据，2019 年 60 岁及以上人口为 2.5378 亿，占中国人口的 18 %。但只有 23%的老
年人能够上网。这意味着超过四分之三的老年人被剥夺了数字化的便利)”可知，并不是所有的老
年人都能享受到智能生活服务。故选 A。
13.What fact do the examples in Paragraph 3 present?
A. Many elders don’t know how to hire a taxi.
B. Many elders always go shopping without their smart phones.
C. Many elders have trouble in using the health code.

pandemic, as they cannot access the internet-based health code required for entry into many public
places as part of the epidemic prevention and control measures.(许多无法使用智能手机的老年人在疫
情期间面临困难，因为许多公共场所的互联网健康码都是防控措施要求的，他们无法进入)”可知，
第三段的例子说明的事实是许多老年人在使用健康码方面有困难。故选 C。
14.Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word in Paragraph 4?
A. Predictable. B. Obvious. C. Avoidable. D. Narrow.
【答案】B
【解析】词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“But many senior citizens, especially those living in rural areas or those
whose grownup children don’t live with them, cannot access the internet or smart phones, either because
of financial restrictions or because they cannot learn new things beyond a certain point.(但许多老年人，
尤其是那些居住在农村地区或成年子女不与他们生活在一起的老年人，要么因为经济限制，要么
因为他们超过一定程度无法学习新事物，无法访问互联网或智能手机)”以及画线词上文“The
digital gap between the elderly and the young is becoming more”可知，对于那些居住在农村地区或成
年子女不与他们生活在一起的老年人来说，他们由于经济限制或是自身问题，无法再学习使用互
联网和智能手机，从而导致他们和年轻人之间的数字鸿沟越来越明显。即画线词意思是“明显的”。
A. Predictable.可预言的；B. Obvious.明显的；C. Avoidable.可避免的；D. Narrow.狭窄的。故选 B。
15.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Digital gap makes everything harder.
B. Grownup children should live with the elderly with digital problems.
C. The society should be responsible for the elderly’s digital problems.
D. The internet technology provides easy lives for seniors in all respects.

patient with them when they face difficulties keeping pace with times.(帮助他们跨越数字鸿沟是社会
的责任，当他们面临困难时，要有耐心与他们一起跟上时代的步伐)”可推知，社会应该对老年人
的数字问题负责。故选 C。
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。
With the majority of children not going into school at the moment, staff, parents and pupils are pulling
together to make sure their education is a success. As a teacher, I’d like to give some tips to parents and pupils on
remote learning.
FOR PUPILS
Get online, on time.
Make sure you do log on in good time for the beginning or live lessons, rather than joining the lesson ten
minutes in. 1
Play your part.
Contribute to the lesson. Talk, put your hand up, send messages in the chat whatever they might be. Teachers
and other pupils love to see that. And don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Take proper screen breaks during the day.
Enjoy your break time. 2 Get outside, read a book, phone someone. At break or lunchtime in school
you wouldn’t sit in a classroom and continue to work, so you shouldn’t do it at home either.
FOR PARENTS
3
It’s often surprising how technologically able a young child is now, with the world of smart phones and the
Internet. So let them show you what they need to be doing in class.
Give praise.
4 Now online, we share a lot of praise and give out school awards. They also need to be praised at
home for getting their work done. Take a look at what they have been doing.
Get involved if you can.
This might be difficult for parents doing full-time jobs, but try to work together on something. We assign
students research projects some of which might be challenging to them. 5 And it’s also good for their own
well-being getting away from a laptop to make a cardboard castle or whatever it might be.
A. Let the child take the lead.
B. Keep pace with technology.
C. Don’t stay sitting at your computer.
D. That’s a perfect opportunity for parents to help.
E. Thus you will find the rest of the class challenging.
F. Otherwise you would have missed out on some teaching

that I’m in my kitchen, where it’s easier to avoid the loud calls for “Mama!” from my 3-year-old daughter and the
hunger 3 of my infant son. Such meetings—a byproduct of the COVID-19 pandemic— 4 the stress
I feel as a working mom, trying to hide the messy reality of my life as a parent. It has led to a unique type of Zoom
burnout, one I fear is 5 to working mothers.
I’ve always tried to hide my motherhood 6 from plain view. I don’t have photos of my children on
display in my university office, 7 some of my male colleagues clearly feel comfortable doing so. I haven’t
wanted my colleagues to 8 me as less committed to my work because I have children. 9 now,
working from home, I feel unable to control whether my children are 10 .
My workdays are 11 with meetings to discuss research projects. When the pandemic started and the
meetings 12 to Zoom, I felt an unspoken 13 to turn my camera on. Almost everyone else had their
camera on, and I feared that if I kept mine off, I wouldn’t be viewed as “present.” The 14 I experience
during Zoom meetings compounds other stressors in my life. However, reduced anxiety and a chance to take care
of household duties while still contributing to the meeting—is 15 it to me.

Yours sincerely,

【答案】
Dear Sir or Madam,
I think the Internet has both its advantages and disadvantages.
The Internet is playing a more and more important role in our life. Just by clicking the buttons, we can work,
study, chat online, play games, watch movies, and search for information and so on. Internet makes our life more
convenient. However, the Internet also has a negative effect on our life. Many people spend too much time surfing
online, which will waste much time and be harmful to our health. What’s worse, many teenagers are addicted to the
Internet, which is becoming a social problem.
Therefore, we should make proper use of the Internet.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
写作(二)
When she looked around her house, Betty Margaret saw lots of electronics. Along with the usual things like
her laptop and smart phone, there were all of her kids’ electronic devices: cell phones, video game devices and
more! There seemed to be more than enough ways for her and her three children to be online all day, every day.
Ms. Margaret worried that her kids were becoming too dependent on the Internet and electronics. Then she
began to reread one of her favorite books, Henry Thoreau’s Walden, which gave Ms. Margaret an idea. Thoreau
spent 2 years in a simple cabin without running water, and having to grow his own food. Maybe she and her family
could live without such luxuries as computers and electronic devices for a while.
Ms. Margaret talked with her kids and explained that she wanted the family to try living for 6 months without
the Internet, cell phones, TV, and video games. Ms. Margaret writes articles for a newspaper in Australia, and had
written several books as well. She told her children that if they agreed, she would write a book about their
experience and they could go on a trip abroad with the money from sales of the book. Her three children agreed,
and “the experiment,” as Ms. Margaret called, began.
Over the course of the experiment, the Margaret children had different reactions to life without electronics.
Before the experiment began, Anni, the eldest of the children, read books more than her younger brother and sister.
She therefore had a relatively easy adjustment to the family’s new lifestyle. Anni could also use the library’s
computer for her homework. Bill, who loved to play video games before the experiment began, had to find a way to
spend all of his new free time. He started to spend more time practicing his saxophone(萨克斯管). Susan, the
youngest child in the family, had the hardest time adjusting to life without electronics. She felt restless for the first
weeks and later, influenced by her elder sister, gradually began to find interest in the novel experiences brought by
various books.

【答案】
The family carried on with the experiment for the 6 months without technology controlling their lives. Ms.
Margaret believes they all came out better for the experience. The children had a lot more interaction with each
other and with their mother. Now that they could not text others, they had to actually see each other and talk.
Meanwhile, the family played board games together, cooked meals together and read the newspaper together. Bill
ended up developing a serious interest in music, and in Susan’s case, she improved her grades in school.
Ms. Margaret wrote the book she had planned. The book became an immediate hit and aroused great interest
among many parents. In her book and in interviews about the book, Ms. Margaret describes the pleasant changes
that happened in her family and the progress her children have made. She encourages families to set aside special
“screen-free days” where families unplug themselves and spend time together, which is exactly what her family
have agreed to do after returning from an enjoyable family trip abroad.
