For winter fun, head to Fairbanks, where you can stay at a new cottage with glass-ceiling domes for aurora (极光) viewing in comfort and then head out ice fishing and snowmobiling.

Picture it: Clear sky, full moon, inky quiet, and a sky full of stars. If you need energy for skiing, you can always refuel with pizza from the wood-fired oven at Murtèl middle station. You can keep skiing until the last cable car at 1:40 a. m. Then, check into your room at the Carlton Hotel, where there are a series of daylight activities.

Girls took the top five prizes at the 2019 Broadcom MASTERS, a competition for middle school students across the country. The winners were announced last month. The winners were honored for their STEM successes, as well as for showing skills in critical thinking, communication, creativity and team-work. In first place was 14-year-old Alaina Gassler of West Grove, Pennsylvania. She designed a system to make driving safer by reducing blind spots — the areas that drivers cannot see outside their vehicle. Gassler developed the technology while in eighth grade. “She, along with the entire Class of 2019, are already leaders in their fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM),” said Paula Golden, president of the Broadcom Foundation. “These young creators give every one of us hope for the future.” The Broadcom MASTERS competition is a project of the Society for Science & the Public. It was set up to motivate young people to attend college and pursue careers in STEM fields. It was open to students in grades 6, 7 and 8 across the country. The top prize winner, Alaina Gassler, says she got the idea for her project after seeing her mother struggle with blind spots in her family’s car. Blind spots lead to many accidents — about 840,000 accidents a year nationwide. Gassler’s system helps drivers see “through” the A-frame pillar (A柱) — the part of the vehicle, in the front, that joins the top and front window. The A-frame pillar is important for safety, and cannot be removed. Gassler used a camera to help drivers look “through” the structure to see what is blocked. The camera sends video to a device that shows images on the other side of the pillar. The driver then can “see” what’s in the blind spot. The young inventor won a $25,000 prize for her invention. She told Popular Mechanics she can make improvements on her device with that money. Gassler said she wants to improve the picture — making it easy to see in any weather, or any time of the day. She also told the magazine she hopes to sell her idea. 41. What does the writer try to convey by saying “girls rule” in Paragraph1? A. Girls tend to break rules. B. Girls prefer to control others. C. Girls perform better in the competition. D. Girls are superior to boys in all aspects. 42. Which best describes Paula Golden’s attitude toward these young creators? A. Proud. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Cautious. 43. The purpose of the Broadcom MASTERS competition is to_____________. A. offer students hands-on training B. collect money for scientific research C. arouse students’ interest in STEM fields D. persuade students not to drop out of school 44. What drives Alaina Gassler to invent the system? A. Her strong curiosity. B. Her school’s task. C. The breakdown of her family car. D. Her mother’s experience. 45. What can we infer about Gassler’s system? A. It gets rid of blind spots. B. It is still far from perfect. C. It has been put into market. D. It can avoid accidents automatically. 【答案】41. C 42. A 43. C 44. D 45. B 【解析】 【分析】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了美国女孩们获得了2019年Broadcom大师大赛的前五名,这是一项面向全国中学生的竞赛。获奖者不仅因为她们在STEM领域的成就而获奖,还因为她们在批判性思维、沟通、创造力和团队合作方面的技能而获奖。文章重点介绍了排名第一的14岁的阿莱娜·加斯勒。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的When it comes to U.S. middle school science and engineering, girls rule. Girls took the top five prizes at the 2019 Broadcom MASTERS, a competition for middle school students across the country.(说到美国中学的科学和工程,女孩们说了算。女孩们获得了2019年Broadcom大师大赛的前五名,这是一项面向全国中学生的竞赛)可知,作者在第一段中说“女孩们说了算”是想表达女孩在比赛中表现得更好。故选C。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“She, along with the entire Class of 2019, are already leaders in their fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM),” said Paula Golden, president of the Broadcom Foundation. “These young creators give every one of us hope for the future.”(“她和2019届全班同学一样,已经是他们科学、技术、工程和数学领域的领军人物。”博通基金会主席保拉·戈尔登说。“这些年轻的创作者给了我们每个人对未来的希望。”)可推知,保拉·戈尔德为这些年轻创作者感到自豪。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的The Broadcom MASTERS competition is a project of the Society for Science & the Public. It was set up to motivate young people to attend college and pursue careers in STEM fields.( Broadcom大师大赛是科学与公众协会的一个项目。它的成立是为了激励年轻人上大学,并在STEM领域追求事业)可知,Broadcom大师大赛的目的是激发学生对STEM领域的兴趣。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的The top prize winner, Alaina Gassler, says she got the idea for her project after seeing her mother struggle with blind spots in her family’s car.

Girls took the top five prizes at the 2019 Broadcom MASTERS, a competition for middle school students across the country.(说到美国中学的科学和工程,女孩们说了算。女孩们获得了2019年Broadcom 大师大赛的前五名,这是一项面向全国中学生的竞赛)可知,作者在第一段中说“女孩们说了算”是想表达女孩在比赛中表现得更好。故选C。 C Though not as mainstream as devices like smartphones and fitness trackers, more companies are now experimenting with the concept of connected garments. Among the pioneers is London-based CuteCircuit, which has been creating fashionable smart clothing since 2004. The company’s latest creation is the “Sound Shirt,” which allows deaf people to “feel” live music by transforming the tunes into touch sensations in real time. The fashionable jacket achieves the incredible function using software that changes the music into data and wirelessly sends it to the 16-micro motors fitted inside the clothing’s fabric. The devices shake in sync (同步) to the intensity (强度) of the music being played, allowing the wearer to feel each instrument individually. The series of touch-like sensations across the wearer’s body enables them to feel the entire works, resulting in a fully amazing musical experience. To ensure the shirt is comfortable, the designers chose to leave out wires and instead wove conductive textiles (纺织品) into the garment’s fabric. Francesca Rosella, co-founder and chief creative officer of CuteCircuit, explains, “There are no wires inside, so we’re only using smart fabrics — we have a combination of microelectronics and very thin, flexible and conductive fabrics. All these little electronic motors are connected with these conductive fabrics so that the garment is soft and stretchable.” CuteCircuit, which has been testing the Sound Shirt for three years, expects to make it available to the general public shortly. Priced at $3,673 (3,000 pounds), the smart jacket will not be cheap. However, twin sisters Hermon and Heroda Berhane, who lost their hearing at a young age, believe the hi-tech garment is a worthwhile investment, especially for deaf people with a passion for dancing. “It’s almost like feeling the depth of the music,” says Hermon. “It just feels as though we can move along with it.” Heroda agrees, adding, “I think it could definitely change our lives.” This is not CuteCircuit’s first groundbreaking smart garment. Over the years, the company has produced hundreds of shocking connected outfits. Among them is an interactive concert dress for American musical artist Nicole Scherzinger that displayed tweets from her fans. Also fun is the HugShirt which enables people to send hugs to loved ones who are not physically in the same area. 46. What is “sound shirt” meant for? A. Children. B. Students. C. Deaf people. D. Travelers. 47. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about the sound shirt’s_____________. A. working principle B. powerful function C. special materials D. fashionable design 48. How did the designers keep the shirt comfortable? A. By using wires. B. By using smart fabrics. C. By using electronic motors. D. By making it very thin. 49. Why did the writer mention twin sisters Hermon and Heroda Berhane? A. To persuade us to learn from them. B. To get the public to know them better. C. To state the smart jacket is affordable. D. To prove the smart jacket enjoys promising future. 50. The function of the last Paragraph is to ______________. A. add some background information B. introduce the company’s new products C. praise the contributions the company has made D. appeal to the public to buy the company’s products 【答案】46. C 47. A 48. B 49. D 50.

Physicians who have been on the job for several hours, for example, are more likely to prescribe antibiotics (开抗生素) to patients when it's unwise to do so. “Probably it’s because it’s simple and easy to write a prescription and consider a patient case closed rather than investigate further,” Polman says. But interestingly, decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. When people imagine themselves as advisers and imagine their own choices as belonging to someone else, they feel less tired and rely less on decision shortcuts to make those choices. “By taking upon the role of adviser rather than decision maker, one does not suffer the consequences of decision fatigue,” he says. “It’s as if there’s something fun and relieving about making someone else’s choice.” “Getting input from others not only offers a fresh idea and thought process; it often also includes riskier choices. While this sounds undesirable, it can be quite good,” says Polman. “When people experience decision fatigue, they have a tendency to choose to go with the status quo (现状),” he says. “But the status quo can be problematic, since a change in the course of action can sometimes be important and lead to a positive outcome.” In order to achieve a successful outcome or reward, some level of risk is almost always essential. “People with decision fatigue will likely choose to do nothing over something,” he says, “That’s not to say that risk is always good, but it is related to taking action whereas decision fatigue certainly leads to inaction.” “Just because you can make good choices for others doesn’t mean you’ll do the same for yourself,” Polman cautions. “Research has found that women negotiate higher salaries for others than they do for themselves,” he says, adding that people slip in and out of decision roles. 51. Decision fatigue may cause people to make decisions that are_______________. A. reasonable B. objective C. unwise D. smart 52. Which of the following may be made by a person with decision fatigue? A. A consumer buys a lot of food to prepare for a dinner. B. A judge makes a less convincing judgment late in the day. C. A student plans to finish his math homework in the morning. D. A physician advises the patient to drink more water after examination. 53. When do people feel less decision fatigue? A. When they take decision shortcuts. B When they have advisers to turn to. C. When they have major decisions to make. D. When they help others to make decisions. 54. What are people likely to do when decision fatigue sets in? A. They stop trying anything new. B. They adopt a totally new idea. C. They tend to make risky decisions. D. They turn to physicians for advice. 55. What does Polman say about taking some risks in decision making? A. It will often end in regret. B. It is likely to cause serious consequences. C. It will enable people to be more creative. D. It is necessary to achieve successful outcome. 【答案】51. C 52. B 53. D 54. A 55. D 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文。如果你曾经发现自己在一个答案显而易见的决定面前抓耳挠腮,那么这背后是有科学依据的。文章介绍了“决策疲劳”这一心理现象。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The problem is ‘decision fatigue’ — a psychological phenomenon that influences the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making, causing indecision or poor choices.” says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist. (“问题在于‘决策疲劳’,这是一种心理现象,在漫长的一天的决策后,会影响你的选择质量,导致优柔寡断或做出糟糕的选择。”著名心理学家埃文·波尔曼说)可知,决策疲劳可能会导致人们做出不明智的决定。故选C。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The problem is ‘decision fatigue’ — a psychological phenomenon that influences the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making, causing indecision or poor choices.” says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist. (“问题在于‘决策疲劳’,这是一种心理现象,在漫长的一天的决策后,会影响你的选择质量,导致优柔寡断或做出糟糕的选择。”著名心理学家埃文·波尔曼说)可知,在漫长的一天的决策后,会影响你的选择质量,导致优柔寡断或做出糟糕的选择。结合选项可知,B. A judge makes a less convincing judgment late in the day.(法官在当天晚些时候做出的判决不那么令人信服)符合题意,法官属于决策疲劳。故选B。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的But interestingly, decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. (但有趣的是,当你为别人做决定时,决策疲劳就会消失)可知,当人们帮助别人做决定时,他们很少会感到决策疲劳。故选D。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“People with decision fatigue will likely choose to do nothing over something,” he says, “That’s not to say that risk is always good, but it is related to taking action whereas decision fatigue certainly leads to inaction.”(“有决策疲劳症的人很可能会选择什么都不做,而不是去做某件事,”他说,“这并不是说风险总是好的,但它与采取行动有关,而决策疲劳肯定会导致不作为。”)可知,当决定疲劳出现时,人们很可能会停止尝试任何新事物。故选A。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的In order to achieve a successful outcome or reward, some level of risk is almost always essential. (为了获得成功的结果或回报,一定程度的风险几乎总是必不可少的)可知,波尔曼认为在决策过程中承担一些风险是取得成功的必要条件。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷(共35分) 注意事项: 1. 用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2. 本卷共6小题,共35分。 第三部分:写作 第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 It was a hot July day. The five boys and I wanted to find some new tricks to play. “Hey!” Ned said, “We haven’t climbed the cliff for a long while.” “Let’s go!” said someone else. And off they went. I hesitated. I longed to be brave and active, like them, but I’d been a sickly child most of my eight years and my mother often told me not to adventure. “Come on!” called Jerry, my best friend. “Just because you’ve been sick is no reason to be timid.” “I’m coming!” I yelled, and ran along after them. Through the park and into the woods, we finally approached the cliff, which was only about 60 feet high, but to me it just seemed impossible because it was almost vertical (垂直的). One by one, the other boys began to climb upward. Then trembling and sweating, I began to climb, my heart beating widely in my skinny chest. At some point, I looked back and was horrified. The ground at the base of the cliff seemed very far below; one slip and I would fall. Soon, the boys were u to the top. Then they left, leaving me clinging (紧握) to the rock alone. I looked down and was overcome by dizziness: I could never climb back down. It was much too far to go and I would fall and die. But the way up to the top was even worse — higher, steeper and more dangerous; I would never make it. Time passed and it was getting dark. I began to sob. After what seemed one hundred years, I heard my father’s comforting voice: “Come on down, boy.” “No, I can’t,” I howl. “It’s too far, it is too hard, I can’t do it.” “Listen to me” my father said. “Don’t think about how far it is and all you have to think about is taking one little step.” I inched backward. Eventually I took the last step down onto rocks at the bottom. Now whenever I’m faced with a frightening situation, I’ll remind myself not to look at the rocks far below, but at the first small and relatively easy step, feeling a sense of accomplishment with each move, until I have done what I wanted to do. 56. Why did the writer hesitate to climb the cliff at first?(no more than 10 words) 57. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 probably mean? (no more than 2 words) 58. How does the writer like the cliff?(no more than 10 words) 59. What is the embarrassing situation the writer have to face in Paragraph 5? (no more than 15 words) 60. What’s your attitude towards “fear” in life? Please explain.(no more than 20 words) 【答案】56. Because he was sickly and told not to adventure. 57. Cowardly./ Faint-hearted. 58. It’s impossible for him to climb up. 59. The author was caught in a dilemma where he dared neither climb down nor up. 60. Fear is inevitable in life, but we should face it bravely and take positive action. 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了8岁时,和小伙伴们去攀岩,但是困在了半路中,最后在父亲的鼓励下,安全爬了下来。作者因为此事得到了人生的感悟——面对可怕的情况,提醒自己不要看下面遥远的岩石,而是关注最初的小的且相对容易,感觉每一步的成就感,直到做了想做的事。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的I hesitated. I longed to be brave and active, like them, but I’d been a sickly child most of my eight years and my mother often told me not to adventure.(我渴望像他们一样勇敢和积极,但在我八岁的大部分时间里,我都是一个体弱多病的孩子,母亲经常告诉我不要冒险)可知,作者起初犹豫是否要爬上悬崖,因为他体弱多病,母亲经常告诉他不要冒险。故答:Because he was sickly and told not to risk. 【57题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Come on!” called Jerry, my best friend. “Just because you’ve been sick is no reason to be timid.”(“来吧!”我最好的朋友杰瑞叫道。“仅仅因为你生病,没有理由timid”)可知,好朋友鼓励作者要勇敢,没有理由“犹豫不决”,因此推断timid表示“犹豫不决的”。故答:Cowardly./ Faint-hearted. 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的Through the park and into the woods, we finally approached the cliff, which was only about 60 feet high, but to me it just seemed impossible because it was almost vertical (垂直的).(穿过公园,进入森林,我们终于到达了悬崖,它只有60英尺高,但对我来说,这似乎是不可能的,因为它几乎是垂直的)可知,作者认为这个悬崖对他来说似乎是不可能爬上去的。故答:It’s impossible for him to climb up. 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的I looked down and was overcome by dizziness: I could never climb back down.(我低头一看,头晕目眩:我不可能爬回去了)及But the way up to the top was even worse — higher, steeper and more dangerous; I would never make it.(但通往山顶的路更糟糕——更高、更陡,也更危险;我永远也做不到)可知,攀岩过程中,作者陷入进退两难的处境,既不敢往下爬,也不敢往上爬。故答:The author was caught in a dilemma where he dared neither climb down nor up. 【60题详解】 开放题型,只要观点积极,言之有理即可。参考答案:Fear is inevitable in life, but we should face it bravely and take positive action. 第二节:书面表达(满分25分) 61.假设你是晨光中学学生会主席李津,你的笔友Peter给你发来邮件,询问你在抗击新型冠状病毒期间的学习情况。请给他回复邮件,内容包括: (1)感谢他的关心; (2)你的学习情况; (3)你的感受。 注意:(1)词数不少于100; (2)可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯; (3)开头已为你写好,不计入总词数。 参考词汇:新型冠状病毒COVID-19 Dear Peter, How is everything going? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Peter, How is everything going?
