Police are warning drivers that they should avoid using their vehicles, as road conditions are expected to be very dangerous. About three inches of snow are expected to fall on Friday evening. That is on top of the two inches that fell the previous day. Roads are also particularly risky because the rain which fell on Wednesday has turned to ice, which has been covered by snow again. High winds are expected to cause the snow to block many routes. The - 7 - A620 and A625 roads have already been closed by police. The A720 road is still open but drivers are being advised to avoid it if possible. Because of an accident earlier today there, it was closed for three hours, but this has now been cleared. Ambulances had been unable to reach a man trapped in his car at the scene. A rescue helicopter braved the high winds to pull him clear and transport him to the emergency department. The hospital later said his condition was improving. Looking ahead, the snow will be with us for the next three days but we can look forward to warmer weather by the middle of next week. That’s all from this weather report. We’ll let you know of any further developments. 第二部分:英语知识运用(共两节，满分 35 分) 第一节:单项填空(共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) 请认真阅读下面各题，从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答 题卡上将该项涂黑。 21.The Molalla High School has a wall of Post-it notes ________ students write kind messages for kids to take when they have a bad day.

The Virungas are also home to mountain gorillas (大 猩猩). Soldiers are notoriously excited when it comes to wildlife, but Mr. Kagame ordered his men not to shoot the apes. “They will be valuable one day,” he said. He was right. By 2017, with Mr. Kagame now installed as Rwanda’s president, that country’s wildlife-tourism industry, of which gorilla-watching on the Rwandan side of the Virungas accounts for 90%, was worth around $438 million a year. But now the world’s gorillas, and also their great-ape cousins, the chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans, face another threat from their human neighbours: covid-19. Great apes share about 98% of their DNA with human beings, and are vulnerable to many of the same diseases. So far, there have been no reported cases of wild apes sickening with the new coronavirus (冠状病毒). But research done by Amanda Melin of the University of Calgary, in Canada, and her colleagues, suggests that many primates are at risk. The virus infects people by locking onto ACE2, a protein found on the surface membranes (细胞膜) of certain cells - particularly those of the airways into the lungs. The ape version of ACE2 is, Dr Melin has discovered, identical to the human variety, so apes are likely to be particularly susceptible to SARS-COV-2. Covid-19 is novel, but primatologists (灵长类动物学家) like Dr Wrangham, who is - 21 - familiar with the harm caused by diseases of human origin, are already worried. They estimate that Ebola virus alone is responsible for the deaths of a third of the world’s wild gorillas over the past three decades. Jane Goodall, a primatologist doing research on chimpanzees in Tanzania is also worried. The country has not enforced a full anti-covid lockdown, so villagers who live around the park could spread the disease to the chimps. Worse still, mountain-gorilla groups are normally harems that have several females but only a single adult male. If this silver-back were to die of covid-19, the females - likely to have been infected as well - would probably disperse to join other groups, spreading the virus further. Mr. de Merode says that if a gorilla tested positive for covid-19, his park “would consider a veterinary (兽医的) intervention to isolate (隔离) and treat the individual, but we would then be in unknown territory”. Most primatologists think isolating a sick ape would be impractical. Rather, laments Dr Wrangham, “we would just have to sit back and watch.” 58. From Melin’s research, we can learn that ______. A. wild apes have sickened with covid-19 B. many primates are at the risk of dying off C. ACE2 is merely founded in the lungs D. apes are likely to be infected by covid-19 59. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (① to ⑥ represent paragraphs 1 – 6) A. B. C. D. 60. From the last paragraph, we can infer that the attitude of the experts concerned towards isolation is ______. - 22 - A. uncertain and passive B. disapproving and pessimistic C. optimistic and active D. enthusiastic and confident 【答案】58. D 59. A 60. A 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章中研究者认为大猩猩很有可能感染新冠肺炎。并且研究者认为如果大 猩猩感染新冠肺炎，人类的作用将是有限的。 【58 题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段 Great apes share about 98% of their DNA with human beings, and are vulnerable to many of the same diseases. So far, there have been no reported cases of wild apes sickening with the new coronavirus. But research done by Amanda Melin of the University of Calgary, in Canada, and her colleagues, suggests that many primates are at risk（类人猿与人类共享大约 98%的 DNA，并且容易受到许多相同疾病的侵 袭。到目前为止，还没有报告野生猿感染这种新型冠状病毒的病例。但是加拿大卡尔加里大 学的阿曼达·梅林和她的同事所做的研究表明，许多灵长类动物处于危险之中）可知，许多 灵长类动物处于危险中。再根据第四段 The ape version of ACE2 is, Dr. Melin has discovered, identical to the human variety, so apes are likely to be particularly susceptible to SARS-COV-2（梅林博士发现，猿类的 ACE2 与人类的变种完全相同，所以猿类可能特别容 易感染 SARS-COV-2）可知，类人猿可能较容易感染 SARS-COV-2。综合分析可知，类人猿很有 可能感染新冠病毒。故选 D 项。 【59 题详解】 推理判读题。分析文章结构可知，文章第一段和第二段为导入段，引入大猩猩面临人类新冠 病毒的问题。文章第三、四、五段讲述了科学家的研究新发现，强调类人猿有很大的可能性 感染新冠肺炎。文章第六段作为总结段，描述如果一只大猩猩被检测出 covid-19 呈阳性，人 类的措施将是有限的。故选 A 项。 【60 题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 Most primatologists think isolating a sick ape would be impractical. Rather, laments Dr. Wrangham, “We would just have to sit back and watch.”（ 大多数灵长类动物学家认为隔离一只生病的猿是不切实际的。相反，Wrangham 博 士悲叹道，“我们只能坐视不管”）可知，很多专家认为隔离是不切实际的，且我们只能坐 视不管。A. uncertain and passive 无把握与消极；B. disapproving and pessimistic 不 - 23 - 认同与悲观；C. optimistic and active 乐观与积极；D. enthusiastic and confident 热 情与自信。故选 A 项。 C The replacement of fossil and nuclear energy sources for electricity production by renewables such as wind, sun, water and biomass is a cornerstone of Germany’s energy policy. Amongst these, wind energy production is the most important component. However, energy production from wind is not necessarily ecologically sustainable. It requires relatively large spaces for installation and operation of turbines, and bats and birds die after collisions with rotors in significant numbers. For these reasons, the location and operation of wind energy plants are often in direct conflict with the legal protection of endangered species. A recent survey on this green-green dilemma among over 500 representatives by the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Leibniz-IZW) concludes that the current mechanisms for the protection of bats in wind power projects are insufficient. “We found broad consensus among participants,” states Christian Voigt, first author of the survey. “The overwhelming majority of respondents considered the protection of biodiversity to be just as important as the contribution to protect the global climate through renewable energy production.” Most stakeholders agreed that small to moderate losses in the yield of wind power plants in terms of electricity production caused by the consistent application of conservation laws must become acceptable. However, significant discrepancies also existed. For example, representatives of the wind energy industry considered compliance with climate protection targets as more important than measures to protect species. The conflict between wind power projects and the objectives of biological conservation intensified in recent years because the rapidly rising number of wind plants – there are now around 30,000 on mainland Germany – has made suitable locations scarce. “Besides, only about 25% of wind turbines are operated under mitigation schemes such as temporary halt of wind turbine operation during periods of high bat activity even though the legal framework would require the enforcement of such measures,” adds author Marcus Fritze of Leibniz-IZW. - 24 - For the purpose of this survey, the authors selected bats as a representative group of species for all wildlife affected by wind turbines, as large numbers of bats die at turbines and they enjoy a high level of protection both nationally and internationally, and therefore play an important role in planning and approval procedures for wind turbines. The results of years of research led by Voigt at the Leibniz-IZW show that fatalities at wind turbines in Germany affect bat populations in Germany as well as populations in other European regions from where these bats originate. On the basis of the survey results, the authors argue in favour of a stronger consideration of nature conservation objectives in the wind energy industry. They suggest ways in which the cooperation of those involved in wind power projects can be improved so that both wind energy production and the goals of biological conservation can be satisfied. 61. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A. The real cornerstone of Germany’s energy policy. B. Problems with poor installation and operation of turbines. C. Germany’s impressive achievements to promote renewable energy. D. The conflict between wind plants and insufficient wildlife protection. 62. The underlined word “discrepancies” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________. A. assumptions B. disagreements C. diversities D. adjustments 63. Bats were chosen to represent all wildlife affected by wind turbines because ________. A. more bats have been killed than any other species B. bats play an important role in keeping natural balance C. they can greatly affect the planning and approval of wind projects D. they will die out quickly in Germany if not protected immediately 64. What do the authors of the survey think are possible solutions? A. Building fewer number of wind plants and selecting more suitable locations. - 25 - B. Negotiating severe laws and strictly carrying them out in wind energy plants. C. Focusing on protecting biodiversity and slightly reducing wind plant production. D. Stressing natural protection and improving cooperation in wind power industry. 【答案】61. D 62. B 63. C 64. D 【解析】 本文是议论文。讲述风力发电与动物保护在德国的冲突，分析了原因并给出了可能的解决办 法。 【61 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中 the location and operation of wind energy plants areoften in direct conflict with the legal protection of endangered species.(风能发电厂的 选址和运营往往与濒危物种的法律保护直接冲突)可推断第一段主要讨论风能发电厂与野生 动物保护不足之间的冲突。故选 D。 【62 题详解】 词句猜测题。 however 表示转折，说明 significant discrepancies 是对转折的概括。前文 Most stakeholders agreed that small to moderate losses in the yield of wind power plants in terms of electricity production caused by the consistent application of conservation laws must become acceptable. 说明“大多数利益相关者一致认为，风力发 电厂在电力生产方面的小到中度损失是由保护法的连续性应用引起的，必须是可以接受的。” 后文 representatives of the wind energy industry considered compliance with climate protection targets as more important than measures to protect species 说明“风能行 业的代表认为，遵守气候保护目标比保护物种的措施更为重要”，体现了两种想法的差异与 不统一，因此推断划线词与 B 项“不一致”意思相近。故选 B。 【63 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的 bats enjoy a high level of protection both nationally and internationally, and therefore play an important role in planning and approval procedures for wind turbines.(蝙蝠在国家和国际上都享有高度的保护，因此在风电机组 的规划和审批程序中发挥着重要作用)可推断，蝙蝠被选中代表所有受风力涡轮机影响的野生 动物，是因为如果不立即保护，他们将在德国迅速死亡。故选 C。 【64 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段的 On the basis of the survey results, the authors argue in favour - 26 - of a stronger consideration of nature conservation objectives in the wind energy industry. (基于这个分析结果，作者主张在风能产业中加强对自然保护目标的考虑”和 “ They suggest ways in which the cooperation of those involved in wind power projects can be improved(他们提出了改善参与风力发电项目的各方合作的方法)可推断，调查的作者 认为对应答案是“重视自然保护”和“加强风电产业合作”。故选 D D I’m from the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma, but I’ve lived in Denver for quite a few years. I have a friend that also lives in Denver who is originally from Oklahoma. We got talking about how homesick we were, and he suggested that we go spend a couple of weeks with his grandma but informed me of two things. The first was that his grandmother might not be particularly fond of Shawnee people. This was because of a thing that had happened between our tribes in the late 1800s. The second thing was that she could be a little bit persistent about inviting people to go to church with her on Sunday. I grew up with an Irish Catholic mother and a Shawnee father, and so I was very open to all kinds of different spiritual beliefs. Thus I promised my friend that I could be diplomatic with his grandmother if she was persistent with her invitations, and I even thought that maybe I could win her over to liking Shawnee people. When we got inside, he introduced us. I addressed her as Miss Myrtle to show extra respect. Her greeting was polite but not particularly warm. But over the next week I took her to Tulsa to run errands (做琐碎的事情), I fixed her chicken coop, and I used all my best manners to win her over. At dinner that night she said to me, “You know, Alistair, it’s been nice having you here. Now, you know this Sunday is Mother’s Day. Of course, at my age I never know if this could be my last Mother’s Day. There’s just one thing I want. I would like you to be my special guest at church on Sunday.” We got to the church. People walked up the center aisle and put some money into this little wooden collection box, and that bought them the privilege of inviting somebody from the congregation (集会) up to sing a “Special.” A Special, it turned out, is a solo hymn (赞美诗；圣歌). And then Miss Myrtle started up the aisle. When she reached the front, she scanned the congregation, found me, and said, “My grandson - 27 - brought a friend with him from Denver. His name is Alistair, and he is from the Eastern Shawnee Tribe. But he is a very nice person. Alistair, I would like you to come up here and sing us a Special.” I immediately began making “no” gestures and grinning. But my friend had grabbed me by the arm and was guiding me over his knees in the narrow pew. He said, “Grandma’s going to be so happy.” And the next thing I knew, I was out in the center aisle, and it almost felt like there was some invisible force pushing me toward the front of the church. It could have been God. And I was hoping that, if it was God, when I reached the microphone, God would choose that moment to work a super-big miracle and make it so that I could sing. The music started, and I started to sing. “Michael, row your boat ashore, alleluia. Michael, row your boat ashore ” It was about the time I reached the second alleluia (哈利路亚的欢呼声) that I realized that was in fact the only line I remembered. And then, finally, I stopped. The organist, who was not quite sure what was happening, continued to play, but when she realized it was finally over, she stopped in kind of an abrupt way, and then there was silence, and in that silence I walked back down the aisle. Suddenly an applause broke out and then more and more joined in. I sat back down. Miss Myrtle was on the other side of me. But once I was settled in my seat, she leaned toward me slightly and said, “I don’t believe I’ve ever met someone that didn’t know at least one hymn.” There wasn’t a whole lot I could say about that, so I was just like, “Happy Mother’s Day.” 65. From the first two paragraphs, we can know that the writer ______. A. has a friend whose home origin is Denver B. lives in a distant tribe of Shawnee C. is suffering periods of homesickness D. won’t be warmly received by the grandma 66. Miss Myrtle was a little cold when seeing the writer probably because ______. A. she had been told he was Shawnee B. she was too old to be so warm C. her last Mother’s Day was coming D. he had declined her invitation - 28 - 67. The process of the author winning Miss Myrtle over can be best described by “________”. A. Faith can move mountains B. Nurture passes nature C. Fact is stranger than fiction D. Custom makes all things easy 68. Why did the writer made “no” gesture when invited to sing a hymn? A. He was too shy to do it. B. He had different spiritual belief C. Some invisible force pushed him D. He did not know any hymn at all 69. From the last paragraph we can know that ______. A. the writer sang so well that he was warmly applauded B. the writer was really pride of the unexpected result C. Miss Myrtle was quite unsatisfied with the writer D. Miss Myrtle was grateful for the writer’s special thyme 70. Which of the following could be the best title? A. A Hymn to End All Hymns B. A Hymn to Embarrass Grandma C. An Experience to Turn Around D. An Experience to Learn To Sing 【答案】65. C 66. A 67. A 68. D 69. D 70. A 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者为了获得莫尔特祖母的欢心，为了帮助祖母庆祝母亲节，尽 管不会唱赞美诗却依然上台演唱，改变了祖母对肖尼人的成见。 【65 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段 We got talking about how homesick we were 表明他和他的朋友 都非常想家，因此我们知道作者正经历着乡愁。故选 C。 【66 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段 The first was that his grandmother might not be particularly fond of Shawnee people.( 首先，他的祖母可能不太喜欢肖尼人)和第三段 I even thought that maybe I could win her over to liking Shawnee people.(我甚至想，也许我能说服 她喜欢肖尼人)可以看出他的祖母不喜欢 Shawnee，因此推断莫尔特小姐看见作者有点冷淡， 也许是因为她被告诉他是肖尼人。故选 A。 【67 题详解】 推理判断题。四个选项意思分别是信仰能移山、教养胜过天性、事实比小说更离奇，习惯使 - 29 - 一切变得容易。题目问的是 The process of the author winning miss Myrtle over，根据 文章的讲述可知，作者因为是肖尼人，莫尔特小姐不喜欢他，因此推断作者赢得莫尔特小姐 的支持表达了跨越信仰的努力，故选 A。 【68 题详解】 推理判断题。从倒数第二段 It was about the time I reached the second alleluia (哈利 路亚的欢呼声) that I realized that was in fact the only line I remembered.(就在我 到达第二个哈利路亚的欢呼声的时候，我意识到这实际上是我记忆中的唯一一行)可以推断， 作者根本不会唱赞美诗，哈利路亚是他唯一知道的台词。故选 D。 【69 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的 Miss Myrtle was on the other side of me.

In a recent investigation, Kim, who in May will join the Cambridge Judge Business School as an assistant professor, observed –– through a field experiment and a lab experiment –– and reported on how receiving - 30 - negative feedback might impact the creativity of the recipients(接受者). In both studies, Kim found that negative feedback can inspire or prevent creative thinking. What is most important is where the criticism comes from. When creative professionals or participants received criticism from a boss or a peer, they tended to be less creative in their subsequent work. Interestingly, if an individual received negative feedback from an employee of lower rank, they benefited from it and became more creative. Some aspects of these findings seem intuitive(凭直觉的). “It makes sense that employees might feel threatened by criticism from their managers,” says Kim. “Supervisors have a lot of influence in deciding promotions or pay raises. So negative feedback from a boss might cause career anxieties.” It also stands to reason that feedback from a co-worker might also be received as threatening because we often compete with our peers for the same promotions and opportunities. When we feel that pressure from above or from our peers, we tend to fixate on the stressful aspects of it and end up being less creative in our future work, says Kim. What Kim found most surprising was how negative feedback from their followers (employees that they manage) made supervisors more creative. “It’s a bit counterintuitive(反直觉的) because we tend to believe we shouldn’t criticize the boss,” says Kim. “In reality, most supervisors are willing to receive negative feedback and learn from it. It’s not that they enjoy criticism –– rather, they are in a natural power position and can cope with the discomfort of negative feedback better.” The key takeaways: bosses and coworkers need to be more careful when they offer negative feedback to someone they manage or to their peers. And feedback recipients need to worry less when it comes to receiving criticism, says Kim. “The tough part of being a manager is pointing out a follower’s poor performance or weak points. But it’s a necessary part of the job,” says Kim. “If you’re a supervisor, just be aware that your negative feedback can hurt your followers’ creativity. Followers tend to receive negative feedback personally. Therefore, keep - 31 - your feedback specific to tasks. Explain how the point you’re discussing relates to only their task behavior, not to aspects of the person.” In short, anyone who wants to offer negative feedback on the job should do so attentively and sensitively and to promote creativity at work, we should all be receptive to criticism from supervisors, peers and followers.

Local governments throughout China are encouraging the use of serving chopsticks. Su Hua:Yes, I have. Chinese eating tradition has once again come under the spotlight when it comes to public health. Li Jiang:But it seems people have different opinions. Su Hua:What do you think? Li Jiang:I think it’s time to change our eating practice. Su Hua: But I am used to sharing food with my family and friends using my chopsticks. Li Jiang:You see. People will finally come to realize that the serving chopsticks are much better for health. Su Hua: I agree, but using individual chopsticks reflects the Chinese food culture. 【写作内容】 1.用约 30 个词概括上述信息的主要内容； 2.你是否同意使用公筷，用 2-3 个理由或论据支撑你的看法。 【写作要求】 1.写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句； 2.作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称； 3.不必写标题。 【评分标准】 内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。 ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ - 35 - __________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Li Jiang and Su Hua are discussing whether serving chopsticks should be promoted all over China. Li supports the policy while Su doesn’t think so. Generally, I am in favor of using serving chopsticks. First and foremost, serving chopsticks should be used definitely out of health concerns. Chinese people like to dine together to enjoy reunions among families and friends, but we should note that sharing dishes can spread diseases easily, adding a pair of serving chopsticks can reduce the spread of viruses and harmful bacteria. What’s more, the promotion of serving chopsticks is bound to make Chinese restaurants more competitive with those from other countries, because it is impossible for many potential foreign consumers to enjoy the Chinese communal eating culture. In short, the use of serving chopsticks marks the upgrading of traditional Chinese catering industry. I hope it will be the new normal in Chinese eating from now on. 【解析】 【分析】 本篇书面表达属于提示类作文。 【详解】第 1 步：提示要求阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。写 作内容包括：1.用约 30 个词概括上述信息的主要内容；2.你是否同意使用公筷，用 2-3 个理 由或论据支撑你的看法。要求：1.用约 30 个词概括上述信息的主要内容；2.你是否同意使用 公筷，用 2-3 个理由或论据支撑你的看法。首先要用 30 词概括文章主要内容再论述。 第 2 步：根据写作要求，确定关键词（组），如：promote，in favor of，out of health concerns， dine together，be bound to，competition with，in short，from now on 等。 第 3 步：根据提示及关键词（组）进行遣词造句，注意主谓一致和时态问题。 第 4 步：连句成文，注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡，书写一定要规范清晰， 保持整洁美观的卷面是非常重要的。 【点睛】本文内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。另外全文中没有中国式英语的句 式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。同时文中使用高级句子。Li Jiang and Su Hua are discussing whether serving chopsticks should be promoted all over China.句中使用 whether 引导的宾语从句；Chinese people like to dine together to enjoy reunions among - 36 - families and friends, but we should note that sharing dishes can spread diseases easily, adding a pair of serving chopsticks can reduce the spread of viruses and harmful bacteria.使用了并列句和现在分词短语作状语；What’s more, the promotion of serving chopsticks is bound to make Chinese restaurants more competitive with those from other countries, because it is impossible for many potential foreign consumers to enjoy the Chinese communal eating culture.使用了原因状语从句和 it 作形式主语，不定式作真 正的主语。 - 37 -
