W: Every time you buy food using your store card, your purchases are recorded in the store’s computers. My company gets a report with the names and numbers of shoppers, plus what they’ve bought each month. From that information, we’ve found out that you buy a lot of canned beans. And I want to know why. M: Are you the police? W: No, of course not. I’m just trying to help you out, Mr. Anderson. I’ll bet you didn’t know that recent studies show that canned beans can cause serious health problems later on in life. And the more you eat those beans, the worse your health could become! M: I thought beans were good for you. W: Oh, they certainly are! But when they’re pre-cooked and then put into a can, the metal reacts with the beans. This produces something that can harm your brain over the years, especially the part that has to do with memory.

Points are used to buy items at auction (拍卖会)可知，会员只要浏览网 页就能获得积分赢得奖品，他们还提供多种多人游戏，这个网站的点数可以被用来买东西， 这是该网站有别于其他网站的特别之处，故选 D。 【23 题详解】 细节理解题。结合全文可知，四个网站都是在社会生活方面给年轻人帮助，故选 B。 【点睛】细节事实理解题主要考查考生对文章中某一些特定细节或文章的重要事实的理解能 力。它一般包括直接理解题和语义理解题两种。直接理解题的答案与原文直接挂钩，从阅读 材料中可以找到。此外，在阅读中可以使用定位法与跳读法解决细节理解题。定位法即根据 题干和选项所提供的信息直接从原文中找到相应的句子(即定位)，然后进行比较和分析(尤其 要注意一些同义转换)，从而找出正确答案。跳读法即根据题干和选项所提供的信息跳读原文， 并找到相关的句子(有时可能是几个句子)或段落，然后进行分析和推理等，从而找出正确答案。 以本文小题 2 .

You probably don’t know how to answer that question---unless you happen to be one of the about 430 people in the world who speak a language called Matukar Panau. Then you would know it means “What are we doing?” Matukar Panau is one of the world’s rarest languages. It is spoken in just two small coastal villages in Papua New Guinea. Several years ago, David Harrison, a language expert didn’t know much about Matukar Panau either. No one had ever recorded or even studied its words and rules. With so few speakers, the language risked disappearing soon. It was endangered. Harrison didn’t want that to happen to Matukar Panau. So in 2009, he set out for Papua New Guinea. His goal: use modern technology to help the remaining speakers preserve their native tongue. But Matukar Panau is far from the only language facing loss. Studies suggest that by the end of this century nearly half of the 7,000 languages now spoken worldwide could disappear. They’re in danger partly because the only people left speaking them are elderly adults, Harrison says. When those individuals die, their language will die with them. In addition, children may discard a native language and instead use more common global languages, such as Chinese, English or Spanish. In the United States alone, 134 native American languages are endangered. Harrison says, “language hotspots” exist all over the world. These are places with endangered languages that haven’t been recorded. They include the state of Oklahoma, pockets of central and eastern Siberia, parts of northern Australia and communities in South America. 24. The purpose of using the question “Taktak tabulaba?” is to ________. A. introduce a new foreign language B. introduce the topic of the text C. show the difficulty understanding Matukar Panau D. stress the importance of Matukar Panau 25. The underline word “discard” in Paragraph 4 means _______. A get rid of B. pick up C. hear of D. learn about 26. The last two paragraphs imply that endangered languages are _________. A. dying quickly in Siberia B. popular in some special places C. becoming a worldwide problem D. some native tongues 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文。Matukar Panau 语是一种稀有的语种，由于讲这种语言的人很少，这种语 言面临消亡的危险；与此类似，到本世纪末世界上将有近一半的语言面临消亡，仅美国就有 134 种本地语言濒临消亡。 【24 题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主题为语言消亡问题，根据第一段 You probably don’t know how to answer that question---unless you happen to be one of the about 430 people in the world who speak a language called Matukar Panau.可知，用疑问“Taktak tabulaba?”做标题，是为了引出该主 题，故 B 项正确。 【25 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的 a native language and instead use more common global languages, such as Chinese，English or Spanish 可以判断，那里的孩子们可能不说这种本地方言，而是更 多地讲汉语、英语和西班牙语等国际通用语言，故画线词意为“摆脱，丢弃”，故 A 项正确。 【26 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句 Studies suggest that by the end of this century, nearly half of the 7,000 languages now spoken worldwide could disappear(研究表明,到本世纪末，全球近一半的 7000 语言现在可能消失。)及最后一段的“language hotspots” exist all over the world 可以判断， 濒危语言正在成为世界性难题，故 C 项正确。 (C) Friday and Saturday were full of surprises for Chinese, as two places in China were listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites. The first, a World Natural Heritage, is composed of a series of migratory bird sanctuaries(候鸟保护地)along the coast of the Yellow Sea in Yancheng, East China's Jiangsu Province. The second, the Liangzhu Archaeological Site in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province, was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site. China began the application process for the bird sanctuaries in 2017. It only took two years to successfully complete the process. The reason the migratory bird sanctuary application was successful is because of the special geographical category of the area. It is the largest intertidal mudflat seashore in the world. The success of this application marks the beginning of China's world natural heritage from land to sea. The migratory bird sanctuaries are the central node of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway and many endangered species, especially threatened migratory birds including red- crowned cranes and flamingos, go there to hunt for food during the migration season. The birds usually take a month to finish their migration. At about 10 days into their migration, they must stop and find food in order to have the energy to continue their journey. Compared to the short turnaround for the World Natural Heritage's application, the Liangzhu application was far more complicated. The application team spent six years making their dream a reality. A lot of archaeological work had to be carried out for the Liangzhu site, which means the application and assessment(评定)process takes a longer time. The site in Liangzhu is evidence of the existence of an early regional state in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the late Neolithic period in China, which helps fill in the gaps in the history of the rice-cultivating civilizations of China and East Asia more than 5000 years ago. The site was one of the 20th century's most important archaeological discoveries in China. With these two new additions, China now has 55 World Heritage sites, the highest number in the world. The successful application means greater responsibility and obligations(义务). Protecting these places is much more important and is our future work. The new status of the migratory bird sanctuaries might boost local tourism industries but this too poses a challenge as local governments will need to control tourist volume so as not to impact the birds' migration patterns. Meanwhile, the sheer area that the Liangzhu Archaeological Site covers, some 14.3 square kilometers, makes protection a difficult issue to handle. Those workings at the site are busy constructing protective shelters for the site and even reburying certain areas to protect them from exposure. Plans are also underway to build a local museum for the storage and display of artifacts, so visitors can come and learn more about the history of the nation. 27. What is special about the migratory bird sanctuaries? A. It's the first China's world natural heritage on the sea. B. It provides safe habitats for endangered species. C. It's located along the coast of the Yellow River. D. It supplies abundant fresh water to migratory birds. 28. According to Paragraph 2, how do migratory bird sanctuaries protect birds? A. By creating warm places to produce baby birds. B. By preventing them from being killed by hunters. C. By providing food supplies during their migration. D. By curing the endangered birds after their journey. 29. Why is Liangzhu chosen for the world heritage site? A. It shows the long history of China. B. It proves the wisdom of the people. C. It witnesses the civilization of an age. D. It reveals the food of the late Neolithic. 30. What is the last paragraph mainly talking about? A. The application success's promotion of tourism. B. Chinese responsibilities after the successful application. C. The two places' influence on Chinese history. D. Chinese challenge of protecting birds' migration. 【答案】27. A 28. C 29. C 30. B 【解析】 本文为说明文。本文介绍了中国新增两处被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产的地方--候鸟 保护区和良渚考古遗址，中国在完成申办过程中以及申请成功后做出了许多努力。 【27 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段 It is the largest intertidal mudflat seashore in the world. The success of this application marks the beginning of China's world natural heritage from land to sea.（它是世界上 最大的潮间带泥滩海岸。这项申请的成功标志着中国从陆地到海洋的世界自然遗产的开始。） 可知， 这是中国第一个世界海洋自然遗产。故选 A。 【28 题详解】 推 理 判 断 题 。 根 据 第 二 段 The migratory bird sanctuaries are the central node of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway and many endangered species, … go there to hunt for food during the migration season. … At about 10 days into their migration, they must stop and find food in order to have the energy to continue their journey.可知，在候鸟飞行途经保护区时，候鸟保护区通过在它 们迁徙的过程中提供食物来保护鸟类。故选 C。 【29 题详解】 推理判断题。根据 The site in Liangzhu is evidence of the existence of an early regional state in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the late Neolithic period in China, which helps fill in the gaps in the history of the rice-cultivating civilizations of China and East Asia more than 5000 years ago（良渚遗址是中国新石器时代晚期长江下游地区早期国家存在的证据，填补了 5000 多年前 中国和东亚稻作文明的历史空白。）可知，良渚被选为世界文化遗产是因为它见证了一个时代 的文明。故选 C。 【30 题详解】 段 落 大 意 题 。 根 据 最 后 一 段 The successful application means greater responsibility and obligations(义务). Protecting these places is much more important and is our future work.（成功的申 请意味着更大的责任和义务。保护这些地方更为重要，也是我们未来的工作。）可知，最后一 段主要讲述了成功申请后中国肩负着更大的责任和义务，故选 B。 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，并在答题卡将 该项凃黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A Finnish cartoon — Matti, a socially awkward stickman has become a hit in China — even inspiring a new word in Mandarin (汉语). ___31___.

They are both viral infections, share similar symptoms and crucially(关键地) can spread from human to human. In the midst of flu season in much of the northern hemisphere, ___58___(tell) the difference between the two will be vital in stopping its spread. Human corona viruses, of ____59____ there are four, can cause respiratory (呼吸道)infections similar to flu: while many symptoms are mild, both can lead to pneumonia(肺炎) and become lethal(致命的). However, the novel corona virus is ____60____(serious) than a “typical influenza infection,(流感)”says Ian Jones, a professor of virology at the University of Reading. “This virus appears to go___61___(far) down into the lungs than would generally be the case.

Flu can spread from person to person from up to six feet away, ____64____(large)caused by liquid emitted when the inflicted cough or sneeze. Those infected are usually contagious for around three days following the beginning of _____65_____ illness, although this time-frame could stretch to over a week. All this and more remains a mystery as for the new coronavirus. 【答案】56. originated 57. with 58. telling 59. which 60. more serious 61. further 62. symptoms 63. to fight 64. largely 65. their 【解析】 本文为说明文。新型冠状病毒现在已经蔓延到许多国家，本文主要介绍了它与普通流感的异 同。 【56 题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：新型冠状病毒起源于中国武汉，现在已经传播到许多国家，它与季节 性流感有很多共同之处。分析句子结构和上下文语境可知，此处为谓语，应用一般过去时态， 故填 originated。 【57 题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意见上。have … in common with 为固定短语，意为“与……有共同之处”， 故填 with。 【58 题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在北半球大部分地区的流感季节，区分两者对于阻止流感的传播至 关重要。分析句子结构可知，所给词汇在句中做主语，应用动名词形式，故填 telling。 【59 题详解】 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处为定语从句，代指先行词 human corona viruses，指 物，且在定语从句中做介词 of 的宾语，因此用 which。 【60 题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：然而，新型冠状病毒比典型的流感感染严重。根据其后的 than a “typical influenza infection”可知，此处作比较，应用比较级形式，故填 more serious。 【61 题详解】 考查比较级。句意：这种病毒似乎比通常情况下更深入肺部。根据句意可知，此处用比较级， 故填 further。 【62 题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：因此，它会给你肺炎的症状:肺部被淹没，它们不能很好地工作，病人 进入呼吸困难。根据其后的定语 of pneumonia 和上下文语境可知，此处应用名词复数形式， 故填 symptoms。 【63 题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：虽然流感和新型冠状病毒的死亡率和症状可能最终相似，但人类抗 击病毒的能力却有很大不同。根据句意可知，此处为不定式短语作定语修饰名词 ability，意为 “人类抗击病毒的能力”，故填 to fight。 【64 题详解】 考查副词。句意：流感可以在 6 英尺以外的人之间传播，主要是由咳嗽或打喷嚏时释放的液 体引起的。分析句子结构可知，此处用副词修饰作状语的过去分词结构 caused，故用 largely。 【65 题详解】 考查代词。句意：感染者通常在发病后三天左右具有传染性，不过这一时间段可能会延长至 一周以上。根据其后的名词 illness 可知，此处用形容词性物主代词表限定关系，本句主语 those infected 为第三人称复数，故填 their。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分 20 分) 第一节 短文改错(共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分) 66.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有 10 处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2.只允许修改 10 处，多者（从第 11 处起）不计分。 Recently, a famous basketball player has caused public angry by writing on the Great Wall. In the fact, this happens in many place of interest. I had some suggestions to solve this problem. First, make more posters to inform the public the damage of graffiti (涂鸦). Besides, punishments, such as a fine, is necessary to tourists with so bad behavior. Also, I think it’s helpfully to put up some boards along the tourist attractions that tourists can leave messages. I’m sure with our efforts, more and more people will become concerning about protecting cultural relics. 【 答 案 】 【解析】 试题分析：作者提出了一些防止游客在旅游景点乱涂鸦的建议。 第一处：angry→anger；考查名词。此处意为“造成愤怒”，动宾结构，名词作宾语，且前面有 形容词 public 修饰，故改为 anger。 第二处：去掉 fact 前面的 the；考查冠词。此处为固定短语：in fact“事实上”，不需要冠词。 第三处：place→places；考查名词复数。place of interest 意为“名胜”，此处前面有 many 修饰， 后面应用复数名词，此短语的中心词是 place，故把 place 改为复数。 第四处：had→have；考查时态。本文用一般现在时描述，故此句也用一般现在时，主语是第 一人称，故用 have。 第五处：在 public 后面加 of；考查介词。此处为固定短语：inform sb of sth“通知某人某事”。 第六处：is→are；考查主谓一致。此句的主语是 punishments，是复数，故谓语也要用复数。 第七处：so→such；考查副词。so 修饰形容词或者副词，such 修饰名词，虽然此处有 bad 这个 形容词，但是 bad 也是来修饰后面这个名词 behaviors 的，也就是说此处的中心词是 behaviors， 故用 such 来修饰。 第八处：helpfully→helpful；考查形容词。此处为系表结构，形容词作表语，故用 helpful。 第九处：that→where；考查关系词。此处为定语从句，先行词是 boards，从句缺少状语，而且 根据意思可理解为表地点的状语。故用关系副词 where。 第十处：concerning→concerned 考查形容词。此处为固定短语：be concerned about“关心……”。 【名师点睛】 so 和 such 的用法区别。俩词的意思差不多，但用法不同。so 通常修饰形容词或副词，such 修饰名词，此处的名词可指任意名词，不管可数不可数，单数复数都可以。但是 so 后也可接 名词，但对名词有一个要求就是单数可数名词才可以；such 后也可接形容词，但是这个形容 词必须是来修饰名词的。当 so 和 such 修饰可数名词单数的时候，句子意思一样。 so+adj+a(n)+n=such+a(n)+adj+n.如 so good a boy=such a good boy 比如，第七处错误，经过句子的分析，虽然此处有 bad 这个形容词，但是 bad 是来修饰后面这 个名词 behaviors 的，中心词还是名词，所以此处还是用 such 来修饰名词的。 第二节 书面表达(满分 10 分) 67.假如你是李华，澳大利亚好朋友 Harry 来中国学习，但因文化差异感到生活有些不适应。 请给他写一封信，内容包括： 1. 表示安慰； 2. 给出建议； 3. 寄予希望。 注意:1. 词数 80 左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 开头与结尾均已给出。 Dear Harry, ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Harry, I’m sorry to learn that you have some difficulty adapting to your life in China.
