But have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster，its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream.Although the cat doesn't realize this, its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things.It will protect itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.‎ Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited, angry or scared by other feelings，our bodies go through many physical changes.Our hearts beat faster，and our muscles get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.‎ Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut？It isn't always clever to express your feelings freely.‎ Does this mean that it's smarter to always hide our feelings？No！If you keep feelings of anger, sadness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside.It can actually be bad for your health.It isn't good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.‎ Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go away.It's as if you bought some bananas ‎ and put them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them, but before long you'd smell them.And if you opened the cupboard, chances are that you'd see little fruit flies flying all over them.They are bad.‎ You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist, but they'll still be around.And at last you'll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.‎ ‎4. When people and animals are aroused by fear，________.‎ A. they may get ready to attack or run away B. their muscles get neither tense nor relaxed C. their hearts beat either faster or slower D. they feel very regretful immediately ‎5.

It's good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.‎ ‎7. What is the purpose of this passage?‎ A. To tell us that people's feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.‎ B. To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.‎ C. To prove that it isn't always wise to express our feelings freely.‎ D. To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.‎ ‎【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. D ‎【解析】‎ 文章介绍人和动物一样，情绪会导致身体的一些变化，而人类的问题更多，如果隐瞒自己的情感，身体就会紧张。我们不要将情感隐瞒起来，这样不能解决问题。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.可知动物和人一样，在恐惧时会准备好自我保护或逃跑。故选A.‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble.可知如果我们控制不住自己的感情，使它爆发出来，我们就会陷入麻烦。故选C.‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段If you keep feelings of anger, sadness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illness can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health.可知隐藏自己的情感会使人生病或内心的不安，对健康有害。故选C.‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 推理判断题。本文介绍了情绪对身体的影响，隐瞒自己情感对身体的危害，建议我们不要将情感隐瞒起来。所以本文的写作目的是教给我们要明智正确地处理感情，故选D.‎ C Tourism probably started in Roman times, Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman Empire. But when the Empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped.‎ In the early 17th century, the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born. Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel. They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice in Italy. Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city. The “Grand Tour” was an important part of young people’s education—but only for the rich.‎ In the 18th century, tourism began to change. For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns, such as Bath to “take the waters”. They believed that the water there was good for their health. So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns.‎ In the 19th century, travel became much more popular and faster. When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays by the sea. And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger, noisier and ‎ dirtier.‎ Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built. People began to travel more to far-away countries.‎ The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people. Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them. Thus tourism grew. In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays. The company organizes everything—plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food—and tourists pay for it all before they leave home. The package tour and modern tourist industry was born.‎ The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949. But tourism did not take off until 1978. In 2002, the industry was worth 500 billion yuan and became an important part of China’s social development.‎ ‎8. Which of the following is true?‎ A. The young men learned little from Grand Tour.‎ B. Tourism became faster and safer when the first railways were built in the 18th century.‎ C. More people chose ships for its cheap price.‎ D. In 2002, tourism became a significant part of China’s social development.‎ ‎9. We can infer from the passage that ________ played the most important role in the tourism development.‎ A. transportation B. education C. money D. people’s ideas ‎10. Modern tourism was born ________.‎ A. in 1978 B. in Roman times C. in the early 17th century D. in 1949‎ ‎11. The underlined phrase “take off”(in the last paragraph) means ________.‎ A. plane rising into the air B. bring down the prices C. remove hats and clothes D. develop very fast ‎【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界旅游业的发展历程。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“In 2002, the industry was worth 500 billion yuan and became an important part of China’s social development”（2002年，工业产值达到5000亿元，成为中国社会发展的重要组成部分）可知，旅游业已成为中国社会发展的重要部分。故选D项。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays by the sea”（19世纪20年代，第一条铁路建成后，人们在城镇之间旅行变得更方便了，所以他们开始去海边度假）和文章第五段“Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built. People began to travel more to far-away countries”（当第一艘蒸汽船被制造出来时，海上旅行也变得更快更安全了。人们开始更多地到遥远的国家旅行）可知，旅游发展中交通起到最重要的作用。故选A项。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays. The company organizes everything—plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food—and tourists pay for it all before they leave home. The package tour and modern tourist industry was born”（1949年，俄罗斯记者弗拉基米尔·雷茨创办了Horizon Holidays公司。该公司组织一切——机票、酒店房间、甚至食物——游客在离开家之前支付所有费用。包价旅游和现代旅游业就这样诞生了）可知，现代旅游业起源于1949年。故选D项。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段“The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949.”（中国第一家旅行社早在1949年就成立了）和“In 2002, the industry was 500 billion yuan and became an important part of China’s social development”（2002年，产业规模达到5000亿元，成为中国社会发展的重要组成部分）可知，中国最早的旅行社是1949年成立的，且到2002年，工业产值达到5000亿元，可以猜测旅游业直到1978年才开始腾飞。故take off应该指“迅速发展”。故选D。‎ D Tech giants Apple and Google are teaming up to create a system that would let smart phone users know when they've come into contact with someone who has COVID-19.‎ The technology would rely on the Bluetooth signals that smart phones can both send out and receive 1aperscn tests positive(阳性) for COVID-19, they could inform public health authorities ‎ through an app. Those public health apps would then warn anyone whose smart phones bad come tear the infected person's phone in the previous 14 days. The technology could be used on both Google Android phones and Apple iPhones.‎ The companies insist that they will preserve smart phone users' privacy and their technology will be used only by public health authorities to trace the spread of COVID-19. Smart phone users can choose to use it. The software will not collect data on users' physical locations or their personally identifiable information. People who test positive would remain unknown to the public, both to the people who came in contact with them and to Apple and Google. “Privacy is of greatest importance in this effort,” the companies said in a joint statement.‎ The American Civil Liberties Union has warmed that using cellphone data to handle the pandemic carries risks of “destruction of privacy”. In a statement on Friday, ACLU cyber security counsel Jennifer Granick said, The system also can't work well if people don’t trust it”. She said that the joint Apple and Google project “appears to reduce the worst privacy risks, but there is still room for improvement.” She added that the contact tracing app should be used only for public health purposes and only for the duration of this pandemic.‎ Public health officials say the contact tracing -finding people who have been in contact with an infected person will be a key step in lifting shelter in-place restrictions.‎ It would allow people who are known to have been exposed to the virus to isolate themselves, while letting others recover normal activities.‎ ‎12. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A. To advertise for public health. B. To introduce a contact tracing system.‎ C. To warn the public of risks of COVID-19. D. To raise people's awareness of privacy protection.‎ ‎13. What do the companies promise to do in particular?‎ A. Warn people who test positive. B. Protect infected people's privacy.‎ C. Work with public health authorities. D. Collect data on users physical locations.‎ ‎14. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggest?‎ A. Public health issues are traced accurately. B. Only people's trust influences the system.‎ C. The system is at the risk of being destroyed. D. Jennifer thinks the system should be ‎ better.‎ ‎15. The system is mainly designed to .‎ A ensure infected people's recovery B. guarantee people's normal activities C. help prevent the spread of COVID-19 D. encourage all the people to isolate themselves ‎【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。科技巨头苹果公司和谷歌公司正在合作开发一个系统，该系统可以让智能手机用户知道他们已经接触了COVID-19患者。文章介绍了这一技术的工作原理，开发这个系统的公司就用户隐私问题做出了一些声明，其他相关组织和个人对此表达了自己的看法。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段Tech giants Apple and Google are teaming up to create a system that would let smart phone users know when they've come into contact with someone who has COVID-19.可知科技巨头苹果公司和谷歌公司正在合作开发一个系统，该系统可以让智能手机用户知道他们已经接触了COVID-19患者。结合文章介绍了这一技术的工作原理，开发这个系统的公司就用户隐私问题做出了一些声明，其他相关组织和个人对此表达了自己的看法。由此可推知，这篇文章的主要目的是介绍一种COVID-19接触者追踪系统。故选B。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段The companies insist that they will preserve smart phone users' privacy and their technology will be used only by public health authorities to trace the spread of COVID-19. Smart phone users can choose to use it. The software will not collect data on users' physical locations or their personally identifiable information. People who test positive would remain unknown to the public, both to the people who came in contact with them and to Apple and Google. “Privacy is of greatest importance in this effort,” the companies said in a joint statement.可知这些公司坚称，他们将保护智能手机用户的隐私，而且他们的技术只会被公共卫生部门用于追踪COVID-19的传播。智能手机用户可以选择使用它。该软件不会收集用户的物理位置或个人身份信息。那些被检测为阳性的人将不会被公众所知，无论是接触过他们的人，还是苹果和谷歌公司。两家公司在一份联合声明中表示：“在这项努力中，隐私是最重要的。”由此可知，这些公司承诺保护感染者的隐私。故选B。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 句意猜测题。根据后文She added that the contact tracing app should be used only for public health purposes and only for the duration of this pandemic.可知她补充说，接触者追踪应用程序只能用于公共卫生目的，而且只能在疫情持续期间使用。由此可知，Jennifer认为苹果和谷歌的合作项目“似乎降低了最严重的隐私风险，但仍有改进的空间，应该更好”。即，划线句子意思为“Jennifer认为这个系统应该更好”。故选D。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段It would allow people who are known to have been exposed to the virus to isolate themselves, while letting others recover normal activities.可知它可以让已知接触过病毒的人隔离自己，同时让其他人恢复正常活动。由此可推知，该系统主要用于帮助防止COVID-19的传播。故选C。‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 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。‎ No-friend eating trend When you eat lunch in a restaurant, you might see many people eating by themselves, watching videos on their phones. _____16_____ Do you worry they’re lonely?‎ You probably didn’t even notice because you were looking at your own phone.

The joy of being together – however you manage it – never changes.‎ ‎【答案】16. B 17. D 18. F 19. A 20. G ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。介绍了一种日益增长的社会趋势——无朋友进餐。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 空格上文When you eat lunch in a restaurant, you might see many people eating by themselves, watching videos on their phones.阐述当你在餐馆吃午饭时，你可能会看到很多人边看手机视频边自己吃饭。结合下文的问句可推断，B项是一个问句，符合语境，B项“你同情他们吗？”与下文“你担心他们孤独吗？”两个问题引出下文的内容。故选B。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 空格前一段阐述一项新调查表明平均每个成年人每周单独吃六顿饭，每年吃387顿饭。 D项中的“This”指代这种现象，下文的Maybe not，回答D项的问题“它意味着有许多孤独的人吗？”。故选D。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 根据空格上文Nowadays, many young people spend more time studying and working in competitive environments.（现在，许多年轻人花更多的时间在竞争环境中学习和工作。）因此推断他们有更少的时间和他们的朋友或家人聚在一起吃饭。故选F。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 根据空格上文She said, “Engaging with my friends and families on social media platforms for about half an hour every day always helps me feel more connected with them.可知，她说：每天在社交媒体平台上与我的朋友和家人接触大约半个小时总是有助于我感觉与他们更多在一起。因此推断她不孤独。故选A。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 根据空格上文可知，今天，“团结”更多的是一种感觉，而不是一种物质状态，人们有创造力来保持联系，因此推断在一起的快乐——无论你如何管理它——从来不会改变。故选G。‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ My most rewarding experience throughout the past two years was volunteering at the swimming competition for Special Olympics where a disabled friend of my community took part.

My classmates and I are talking about what to spend our holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stayed at home, it will be comfortably and there will be no need to spend money. Therefore, in that case, we will learn little about the world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden our view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we can go to places of interest nearby. I think that it is good idea. It does not cost ‎ many, but we can still learn a lot.‎ ‎【答案】what→how或where chose→choose take→taking stayed→stay comfortably→comfortable Therefore→However knowledges→knowledge 删掉can good前面加上a many→much ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了我和同学们为即将到来的假期做准备。‎ ‎【详解】1.考查连接词。此处考查“特殊疑问词+to do”，在本句中做talk about 的宾语，spend后缺少状语，how引导方式状语，where引导地点状语，都符合题意。故将what改为how或where。‎ ‎2.考查时态。根据情态动词后加动词原形，故将chose改为choose。‎ ‎3.考查非谓语动词。在本句中动名词短语staying at home与taking a trip构成并列关系。故将take改为taking。‎ ‎4.考查动词。本句为if引导的条件状语从句，主句为一般将来时，从句为一般现在时，故将stayed改为stay。‎ ‎5.考查形容词。系动词后通常加形容词作表语，而be也属于系动词，故将comfortably变为comfortable。‎ ‎6.考查副词。分析句子可知，前后构成转折关系。therefore译为“因此，所以”，表示递进关系，however译为“但是，然而”，表示转折关系。故将Therefore改为However。‎ ‎7.考查名词。knowledge译为“知识”，为不可数名词。故将knowledges改为knowledge。‎ ‎8.考查虚拟语气。分析句子可知，主句使用suggest译为“建议”，从句使用虚拟语气，谓语使用should+do结构，should可以省略，故将can去掉。‎ ‎9.考查冠词。idea译为“主意，打算，计划”为可数名词，a good idea译为“一个好主意”，故填 a。‎ ‎10.考查形容词。此处指花费钱不会太多，故用much修饰不可数名词“money钱”。故将many改为much。‎ 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）‎ ‎52. 假定你是李华，你校要举办一次汉服（Hanfu）演出，请你写封邮件邀请在你校做交换生的英国好友Henry观看演出，内容包括：‎ ‎1、发出邀请 ‎2、演出的时间和地点 ‎3、建议他上网搜索，简要了解汉服 注意：1、词数100左右；‎ ‎2、可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Dear Henry,‎ Learning that you show great interest in Chinese culture, I’m writing to invite you to enjoy a show which will be hosted by our school.
