Here’s how a fun product was invented.‎ In 1930, Ruth and Kenneth Wakefield opened a restaurant on an old road between Boston and Cape Cod in Massachusetts. They named it the Toll House Inn. Ruth was an expert cook, and the inn became famous for its desserts.‎ Many sources claim Ruth invented her chocolate chip cookie by accident. But she often experimented with recipes to please her guests. One time, she decided to add chocolate to her popular butter cookies. She told a Boston newspaper reporter that she was deliberately “trying to give her guests something different”. Using a tool, she broke a semi-sweet chocolate bar into small pieces and mixed them with egg, milk and flour. When she took the cookies from the oven, the chocolate hadn’t melted into the flour mixture. Guests loved Ruth’s new Toll House Chocolate Cookies.‎ The recipe soon appeared in a Boston newspaper. Ruth added it to the 1938 edition of her cookbook. The recipe called for two Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate bars to be “cut in pieces the size of a pea”.‎ The cookies became so popular that Nestlé’s sales increased greatly. The company - 39 -‎ ‎ began carving lines into its chocolate bars to make them easier to break. It even printed Ruth’s recipe on the wrapper. Later, Nestlé created the semi-sweet chocolate chip. The recipe still appears on every bag. Accident or not, Ruth Wakefield created America’s most popular cookie.‎ Questions:‎ Where did Ruth invent the chocolate cookie?‎ How was Ruth’s chocolate cookie created?‎ What did Ruth do to her recipe for chocolate cookies?‎ Questions are based on the following passage.【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】‎ ‎14. ‎ A.

Canada. C. America. D. China.‎ ‎16. ‎ A. Tourism will face strong decline B. Beach losses are causing climate change C. Half of the world's sandy beaches could disappear.‎ D. Beaches play an important part in the ecosystem ‎【答案】14. A 15. A 16. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【原文】A new study says up to one-half of the world’s sandy beaches could disappear by 2100 because of climate change. Australia, Canada, Chile, Mexico, China and the United States would be among the hardest hit, the research shows. The study was published in the journal Nature Climate Change. Michalis Vousdoukas was the lead investigator. Touristic areas which have sandy beaches as their main selling point will probably face strong consequences,” he said.‎ Aside from economic value, beaches play an important environmental role. Sandy beaches - 39 -‎ ‎ are important habitats supporting a wide range of species. They also protect the coast from the effects of storms, so without sandy beaches other inland environments can be affected by the effects of waves and saltwater intrusion,” Vousdoukas added.‎ Global sea levels have increased in recent decades. Major causes include melting ice. And water expands as it warms.‎ Researchers examined satellite images showing shoreline changes during the past thirty years. They then used these trends in two different climate change situations. One situation predicted a small reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The other situation predicted high greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions have a link to climate change.‎ By 2050, the researchers projected beach losses of between 13 and 15 percent. By 2100, the projected losses are from 35 to 49.5 percent. Australia would lose more sandy shoreline than any other country, with 14,849 kilometers projected to be gone by 2100. Canada is second in projected losses. The United States could lose up to 5,530 kilometers.‎ Questions:‎ Why are sandy beaches important to the environment?‎ Which country will suffer the most according to the research?‎ What is the passage mainly about?‎ Questions are based on the following passage.【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】‎ ‎17. A. London. B. Barcelona. C. Madrid. D. Iceland ‎18. ‎ A. She was scheduled to meet more customers in other cities.‎ B. Her ship was delayed by the wind blowing southwards.‎ C. Clouds of volcano ash threatened passengers' health.‎ D. Volcanic eruption caused her flight to be cancelled.‎ ‎19. ‎ A. She tried various means of transport except the coach.‎ B. She had a tough journey back home with many transfers.‎ - 39 -‎ C. She enjoyed the lovely scenery in various cities in Spain.‎ D She managed to book a ticket with the British airline at last.‎ ‎20. ‎ A. He paid little attention to the news media.‎ B. He didn't care about meaningless pastimes.‎ C. He was out of employment for too long.‎ D. He was too busy to make preparations for it.‎ ‎【答案】17. C 18. D 19. B 20. A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【原文】M: Hi, Mary. I haven’t seen you for ages. Where have you been?‎ W: Hello, Ken. I’ve been on a business trip in Madrid, where I had a conference on behalf of our company’s London headquarters with some Spanish customers.‎ M: But the conference was over a week ago. What kept you there all this time?‎ W: Because of the volcano, Ken. Don’t you ever watch the news?‎ M: What volcano?‎ W: The one in Iceland, which erupted and produced an enormous cloud of ash.‎ M: Really? I didn’t know. But it was the volcano instead of you that was in Iceland. How come the volcanic eruption there affected the transportation system in Spain and the UK?‎ W: Although Madrid is about 3,000 kilometres south of Iceland, the wind blew the ash from the volcano south from Iceland into Britain. Since all the airports were closed in case of the potential risks to aircraft, there were no flights in or out of the UK.‎ M: So, how did you finally get home?‎ W: Well, I went from Madrid to Barcelona by train. Then, I made contact with one of our company’s branches there. After that, I tried to buy a train ticket from Barcelona to Paris but there were no tickets on the Eurostar train from Paris to London. So, I had no alternative but to stay in Barcelona.‎ M: I’ve been to Barcelona. It struck me as a lovely city indeed.‎ - 39 -‎ W: Fortunately, I got a ticket on a boat from Bilbao to Southampton with the help of some local colleagues. I got a coach from Barcelona to Bilbao and then boarded the boat.‎ M: Wow. And all because of this volcano. It seems strange that I’ve never heard of the eruption.‎ W: You really should read a newspaper or watch the TV news frequently, Ken.‎ M: I know, but I’m so busy these days that I can’t afford to waste any of my leisure time on such meaningless pastimes.‎ W: As far as I know, you’re unemployed.‎ M: Well, I’ve got a job interview next week. The Times newspaper has offered several vacancies for journalists.‎ W: I’m sorry, Ken, but I don’t think you’re going to get the job.‎ Questions:‎ Where did the woman meet with her customers?‎ Why did the woman stay there longer than planned?‎ What do you learn about the woman’s trip?‎ Why did the woman think the man would fail his job interview?‎ II. Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.‎ Green Spring Renews Life’s Promise For me, two of the loveliest words in the English language are “Life persists”. I came across them years ago as a college freshman, sitting in the library on a beautiful spring day, bored, working on a history paper. I don’t recall ____21____ I was researching into. Out of nowhere, those two words came ____22____ (dance) off the page in a quote by Gandhi, “In the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.”‎ - 39 -‎ After those words ____23____ (read) again a dozen times, suddenly I was no longer bored. Outside in the sunshine, I kicked off my shoes and danced barefoot across a spring-green lawn.‎ I love spring. And this year, I was especially hungry to see it. Flying home last weekend to Las Vegas, after 10 days in California, I looked down on hills that were so green that I ____24____ almost taste them. When I approached Vegas, the green turned a dull desert brown. We landed after sunset, and the only green to be seen was neon(霓虹灯).‎ But the next morning, to my surprise, I ____25____ (awake) to find signs of spring all over my yard. ____26____ my absence, all sorts of things had leafed and bloomed. Three days later, I drove to Arizona to visit a friend and get yet another taste of spring seeing the Giants play the A’s in spring training. The drive across the desert was completely great, a variety of wildflowers and blooming cactuses.‎ Sometimes we need the chance ____27____ (remind) that we’re still alive. After my husband died, a friend sent me a card which read: “Just ____28____ you think you will never smile again, life comes back.”‎ Life persists, and so do ____29____ in the green of spring and the dead of winter, in the birth of a child and the passing of a loved one; in the words we leave behind and the hearts of those _____30_____ will remember us. Spring reminds us that we’re alive forever.‎ ‎【答案】21. what ‎ ‎22. dancing ‎ ‎23. were read ‎ ‎24. could 25. awoke/was awoken ‎ ‎26. In/During ‎ ‎27. to be reminded ‎ ‎28. when/as ‎ ‎29. we 30. who ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ - 39 -‎ 本文是夹叙夹议文。这是一篇人生感悟，作者通过自身的经历，以及偶然读到的甘地的一段话联想到生命的意义与坚持。生命长存于寂静沙漠的植物中，长存于冬去春来的绿意中。冬去春来,生命依然长存，而我们也要继续前行。‎ ‎【21题详解】‎ 考查宾语从句的引导词。句意：我不记得自己正在研究什么。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导宾语从句，引导词在从句中作宾语并且指物，意为“……东西”，应使用what引导宾语从句。故填what。‎ ‎【22题详解】‎ 考查非谓语动词。句意：甘地语录：“在死亡中，生命依然坚持；在谎言中，真理依然长存；在黑暗中，光明依然永驻”。其中那两个词life persits突然映入作者的眼帘。come后接现在分词可以表示“来”的方式。这两个词突然从书上的引语中映入作者的眼帘，dancing作为方式状语形象生动地描述了这两个词所富含的美好活力以及作者遇到它们的偶然性。故填dancing。‎ ‎【23题详解】‎ 考查时态和语态。句意：我读了那些话十几遍之后，突然之间我不再无聊了。由本句的was及语境可知，该句描述的是过去的事情，应使用一般过去时且主语承受谓语动词read的动作，即read应该使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were read。‎ ‎【24题详解】‎ 考查情态动词。句意：我低头看着那么绿的小山，我几乎可以闻到它们的味道。结合语境及so…that…可知，that后面表示的是结果，使用情态动词can表示“能够”，但该句描述的是过去的事情，应使用can的过去式。故填could。‎ ‎【25题详解】‎ 考查时态。句意：但是第二天早上，令我惊讶的是，我醒来后发现院子里到处都是春天的迹象。由本句的the next morning和语境可知，本句应使用一般过去时。可以使用awake的过去式awoke或者构成主系表的句子结构，使用was awkoen。故填awoke/was awoken。‎ ‎【26题详解】‎ 考查固定短语。句意：在我离开家出门的时候，各种各样的植物如雨后春笋般长出来。in/during one’s absence：在某人不在的时候，它是固定短语。故填In/During。‎ ‎【27题详解】‎ 考查非谓语动词。句意：有时我们需要提醒自己我们还活着。chance to - 39 -‎ ‎ do：做某事的机会。主语we承受动词remind的动作，因此chance后面的动词不定式应该使用被动形式作chance的后置定语。故填to be reminded。‎ ‎【28题详解】‎ 考查时间状语从句的引导词。句意：我丈夫去世后，一个朋友给我寄了一张卡片，上面写着：“当你认为自己再也不会微笑时，生活才回来。”分析句子结构，需填入引导状语从句的引导词，结合语境，使用when/as表示“当……时候”合乎语境。故填when/as。‎ ‎【29题详解】‎ 考查人称代词。句意：生命一直存在，我们也是如此，在春天的绿色和隆冬中，在孩子的出生和亲人的离世中；在我们留下的文字中和那些会记住我们的人的心中。由本句后面的we及us可知，此处使用we作主语，so do we是倒装句。故填we。‎ ‎【30题详解】‎ 考查定语从句的引导词。句意：生命一直存在，我们也是如此，在春天的绿色和隆冬中，在孩子的出生和亲人的离世中；在我们留下的文字中和那些会记住我们的人的心中。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导定语从句，先行词是those，指人，它在从句中作主语，通常使用who引导定语从句。故填who。‎ ‎【点睛】come后接现在分词可以表示“来”的方式，或者是伴随“来”还有另一个动作同时在发生。如：The children came running to meet us. 孩子们跑着来迎接我们。come running 的意思是“跑来”，指的是以“跑”的方式“来”，或者说，在“来”的过程中同时还在“跑”。再如：She came crying as soon as she saw me. 她看到我就哭着走过来。come crying的意思是“哭着来”，指的是她一边走来一边在哭，或者说她在“来”的过程中还伴随在“哭”。小题2考查非谓语动词。句意：甘地语录：“在死亡中，生命依然坚持；在谎言中，真理依然长存；在黑暗中，光明依然永驻”。其中的那两个词life persits突然映入作者的眼帘。come后接现在分词可以表示“来”的方式。这两个词突然从书上的引语中映入作者的眼帘，dancing作为方式状语形象生动地描述了这两个词所富含的美好活力以及作者遇到它们的偶然性。故填dancing。‎ Section B Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.

Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases - 39 -‎ ‎ marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.‎ Communication, One Major Part of the Scientific Method Scientists may feel it their duty to share their guesses, methods, and findings with the rest of the scientific community. This sharing serves two ___41___. First, it supports the basic deal of skepticism(怀疑论)by making it possible for others to say, “Oh, yeah? Let me check that.” It tells others where to see what the scientist saw, and what techniques and tools to use. Second, it gets the word out so that others can use what has been discovered. This is essential because science is a(n) ___42___ efforts. People who work thousands of miles apart build with and upon each other’s discoveries.‎ The communication of science begins with “peer review”, a process of ___43___ an author’s scholarly work, research or ideas to the inspection of other experts. It typically has three stages. The first occurs when a scientists seeks funding - from government agencies, foundations, or other ___44___ -- to carry out a research program. He or she must prepare a report describing the intended work, laying out background, hypotheses(假设), planned experiments, expected results, and even the ___45___ impacts on other fields. Committees of other scientists then ___46___ the report to see whether the scientist knows his or her area, has the necessary abilities, and is realistic in his or her plans.‎ Once the scientist has the needed ___47___, has done the work, and has written a report of the results, that report will go to a scientific journal. Before publishing the report, the journal’s editors will show it to other workers in the same or ___48___ fields and ask whether the work was done adequately, the conclusions are justified, and the report should be published.‎ The third stage of peer review happens are publication, when the broader scientific community gets to see and ___49___ the work.‎ This three-stage quality-control process can, of course, be faulty. Any scientist with independent wealth can ____50____ the first stage quite easily but such scientists are much, much rarer today than they were a century or so ago. Those who ‎ - 39 -‎ remain are the object of envy. ____51____ , it is fair to say that they are not disapproved as were those who avoid the latter two stages of the “peer review” mechanisms by using press conferences.‎ On the other hand, it is certainly possible for the standard peer review mechanisms to ____52____. By their nature, these mechanisms are more likely to ____53____ ideas that are not different from what the reviewers think they already know. Yet the un-traditional or unconventional ideas are not ____54____ wrong, as Alfred Wegener proved when he tried to gain ____55____ for the idea of continental drift in the early twentieth century. It was not until the 1960s that most geologists accepted his ideas as genuine insights.‎ ‎41. A. purposes B. duties C. interests D. needs ‎42.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.‎ ‎(A)‎ To Be a Deaf DJ I was born in England with perfect hearing. In 1990, when I was five, my family moved to the United States. I started getting ear infections every three months or so. We didn’t have health insurance at the time, and when I got a third infection,‎ - 39 -‎ ‎ my parents couldn’t afford the treatment. I went deaf in my right ear and was left with 50 percent hearing in my left. Over time, my remaining hearing dropped to 20 percent, where it is today. My doctors predicted that I would be thoroughly deaf by now, so I think I’m doing pretty well.‎ There was always music on in my house in my childhood. I loved listening to Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson. My dad was a DJ, so he played disco, folk, rock, and music from other countries. For my 18th birthday, my dad asked me to deejay at the restaurant be owned. After doing that for a few weeks, I was hooded. I desired to learn more. I e-mailed DJ Shiftee, a distinguished New York City DJ, when I was 25: “I know you like a challenge. How about teaching a deaf person to deejay?” He wrote back the next day; “Challenge accepted.” He tutored me twice a week for two years, helping me develop correct technique. I practiced four hours a day.‎ Now when I’m performing, muscle memory takes over. When I started, I wouldn’t tell the club managers that I was deaf. I would just show up, introduce myself, and start playing music. At the end of the night, someone would say, “Oh, here’s the check.” And I’d say, “What? Oh, I can’t hear.” They were always so astonished. Sometimes I would bring doctor’s notes because they wouldn’t believe me. It was reassurance that they were giving me opportunities to perform because I was brilliant, no out of sympathy. Eventually people started calling me “that deaf DJ,” and the name stuck.‎ What fascinates me about deejaying is the creativity. I use software that turns the music into lines of color on a computer screen. I’m visually hearing the music. The next time you go dancing, cover your ears, and you’ll start seeing that you’re able to hear the music in a different way. Music is not all about hearing. I pay all sorts of get-togethers now, from college parties to corporate events. I also go to elementary schools for the deaf and talk to the students about motivation and believing in themselves. I’m big on talking to the parents. I tell them, “My advice to you is let your kids chase their dreams. I’m a deaf DJ, so why not?”‎ ‎56. Which of the following might result in the author’s hearing loss?‎ - 39 -‎ A Monthly ear infection. B. Moving to the U. S.‎ C. Family financial hardship D. The doctors’ prediction.‎ ‎57. How did DJ Shiftee help the author during his youth?‎ A. He taught him correct skills. B. He discovered his talent for DJ.‎ C. He played at the restaurant for him. D. He cultivated his taste for foreign music.‎ ‎58. The underlined expression in Paragraph 3 “the name stuck” probably means that _________.‎ A. the author was in low spirits B. the author impressed people deeply C. the audience felt disappointed by the player D. the audience looked down upon the player ‎59. We can conclude from the passage that the author loves deejaying because _________.‎ A. working as a DJ involves innovation B. music helps him to see the world virtually C. he motivates the kids to realize their dream D. he desires to challenge something impossible ‎【答案】56. C 57. A 58. B 59. A ‎【解析】‎ 本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者在长大的过程中因为家庭经济的原因没能对耳疾进行彻底的治疗，从而导致了听力的损伤，但坚强的意志力使作者成为了一名唱片节目主持人。作者建议孩子们的父母让孩子们追逐自己的梦想。‎ ‎【56题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“when I got a third infection, my parents couldn’t afford the treatment. Over time, my remaining hearing dropped to 20 percent, where it is today.”可知，当作者第三次感染时，作者的父母负担不起治疗费用。随着时间的流逝，作者剩下的听力下降到今天的20％。即家庭经济困难导致了作者的听力受损。故选C。‎ ‎【57题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He tutored me twice a week for two years, helping me develop correct technique.”可知，DJ - 39 -‎ ‎ Shiftee连续两年每周两次给作者辅导，以帮助作者培养正确的技术。即DJ Shiftee在作者年轻时教给他正确的技能。故选A。‎ ‎【58题详解】‎ 句意猜测题。根据第三段中的“At the end of the night, someone would say, “Oh, here’s the check.” And I’d say, “What? Oh, I can’t hear.” They were always so astonished. Sometimes I would bring doctor’s notes because they wouldn’t believe me. It was reassurance that they were giving me opportunities to perform because I was brilliant, no out of sympathy. Eventually people started calling me”可知，在深夜有人和作者说：“哦，这是支票。”而作者会说：“什么？哦，我听不到。”他们很惊讶。有时我会带医生的诊断记录，因为他们不相信我。可以放心的是，他们给了我表演的机会，因为我很聪明，不是出于他们的同情。最终，人们开始称我为“那个聋的DJ”。由此可知，划线部分表示作者给人留下了深刻的印象。故选B。‎ ‎【59题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“What fascinates me about deejaying is the creativity.”可知，作为一名唱片节目主持人令作者着迷的是创意。即作者喜欢担任一名唱片节目主持人是因为这份工作中需要人拥有创造力，能够做出创新。故选A。‎ ‎(B)‎ FREE Homeschooling If you are reading this page you are looking into homeschooling.

Scores of people wander around on the thick crash pads, chatting, waiting their turn and offering the odd shout of encouragement to those clinging on to the colourful climbing walls.‎ Rock climbing was once classified as an “extreme sport”. But indoor centres like The Arch, which offer climbing without the need for rocks, are bringing it into the mainstream. The British Mountaineering Council estimates there are at least 248 public climbing walls in Britain, a number that has risen by 30% since 2010. In 2020 the sport’s governing bodies are hoping to see an even bigger increase in interest. Along with skateboarding, surfing and karate(空手道), rock climbing will be making its first appearance as an Olympic sport at the summer games in Tokyo.‎ The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is frank about the ambition to appeal to a younger crowd who may be less familiar with longer-standing sports such as athletics and weightlifting. The crowd at the Arch is exactly what the IOC has in mind: mostly young professional letting off steam after work, who see climbing as a more engaging ans sociable alternative to jogging on running machines or pumping iron in a gym. Between them, the new sports will mean another 18 events and 474 athletes at the Tokyo games.‎ Officially, all four sports are delighted with their new status. But with the exception of karate, all of them have counter-cultural, anti-establishment roots. Some stars have wondered whether accepting the Olympic torch means going against their beliefs. Owen Wright, a famous surfer, has said that surfing is more art form than sport, and therefore not suitable for the games - though he has since gone back on his word, and hopes to represent Australia in Tokyo.‎ - 39 -‎ Adam Ondra, a Czech who is one of the world’s climbers, said he might steer clear of the games because of the format. The eventual Olympic champion will have to master all the three disciplines including bouldering (climbing without a rope, low to the ground, with a focus on hard, gymnastic moves), lead climbing (roped climbing up a tall wall of increasing difficulty) and speed climbing. Bouldering and lead climbing feature new routes in each stage of a competition, in an effort to imitate the variety of real rock. But speed climbing takes place on a standard, unvarying course. Because of this, said Mr. Ondra, “speed is a kind of artificial discipline and this is against the soul of climbing.”‎ Skateboarders, also notably rebellious, can be strikingly young. Sky Brown is set to become Britain’s youngest Olympian and has settled down to training. By the time of the Tokyo games, she will have turned 12.‎ ‎63. Which of the following statements is true about rock climbing？‎ A. It originated in The Arch, a sports centre on the River Thames.‎ B. It has evolved from a mainstream sport into an extreme sport.‎ C. Spectator’s encouragement contributes to its rapid expansion.‎ D. The increase in climbing walls reflects a growing interest in it.‎ ‎64. IOC introduced rock climbing into the Olympics in order to _________‎ A. familiarize the global population with the new sport B. attract young people who lack interest in traditional sports C. enable the young to let off their energy after work D. challenge the dominant status of traditional sports ‎65. What can you infer from the star athletes’ responses according to the passage?‎ A. Surfers are expected to strike a balance between art and sport in the Olympics.‎ B. Rock climbers must be self-disciplined if they are to win the championship.‎ C. Adam believes that the soul of climbing consists in its harmony with nature.‎ D. Strikingly young skateboarders have an advantage over other opponents.‎ ‎66. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. With the addition of new Olympics sports, stars are divided on whether to participate.‎ - 39 -‎ B. Rock climbing, skateboard, surfing and karate are accepted as Olympics sports.‎ C. Extreme sports athletes rebel against traditions while training for the Olympics.‎ D. The appeal of a new sport event consists is changing for format of this game.‎ ‎【答案】63. D 64. B 65. C 66. A ‎【解析】‎ 本文是说明文。国际奥委会将攀岩与滑板，冲浪和空手道一起作为东京夏季奥运会的一项奥林匹克运动首次亮相，而明星运动员们对于空手道之外的三个运动项目进入奥运会存在不认可的态度。‎ ‎【63题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Arch climbing wall, just south of the River Thames, is packed. Scores of people wander around on the thick crash pads, chatting, waiting their turn and offering the odd shout of encouragement to those clinging on to the colourful climbing walls.”和第二段中的“In 2020 the sport’s governing bodies are hoping to see an even bigger increase in interest.”可知，人们挤满了泰晤士河以南的The Arch 攀岩墙。 数十人在厚厚的防撞垫上走来走去，聊天，等待轮到他们，并为那些在五彩缤纷的攀岩墙上的人们大声呼喊从而鼓励他们。该运动的理事机构预计2020年人们对于攀岩运动的兴趣会大规模增加。即参与攀岩运动的人越来越多反映了人们对它的兴趣不断增长。故选D。‎ ‎【64题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is frank about the ambition to appeal to a younger crowd who may be less familiar with longer-standing sports such as athletics and weightlifting.”可知，国际奥委会希望吸引年轻人参与奥运会，这些人可能对田径运动和举重等奥运会长期以来的运动项目不太熟悉。由此可知，年轻人可能对这些运动项目不太熟悉，因此国际奥委会将攀岩运动引入奥运会是为了吸引对传统体育缺乏兴趣的年轻人。故选B。‎ ‎【65题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Because of this, said Mr. Ondra, “speed is a kind of artificial discipline and this is against the soul of climbing.””可知，Ondra先生说：“速度是一种人为的规定……这与攀登的灵魂背道而驰。即Adam Ondra认为登山的灵魂在于这项运动强调与自然的和谐。故选C。‎ - 39 -‎ ‎【66题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章前三段讲的是随着人们对于攀岩活动兴趣的增加，国际奥委会将攀岩与滑板，冲浪和空手道一起作为东京夏季奥运会的奥林匹克运动项目首次亮相。后三段主要讲的是明星运动员们对于空手道之外的三个运动项目进入奥运会持质疑的态度。因此A项（随着新的奥林匹克运动项目的增加，明星们在是否参加比赛上也有所分歧。）符合文章内容。故选A。‎ Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.‎ How the British and American Tell Children’s Stories If Harry Potter and Huckleberry Finn were each to represent British versus American children’s literature, a curious situation would emerge : In a literary competition for the hearts and minds of children, one is a wizard(巫师)- in - training at a boarding school in the Scottish Highlands, while the other is a barefoot boy drifting down the Mississippi, bothered by cheats, slave hunters, and thieves. One defeats evil with a magic stick, the other takes to a raft(筏)to right a social wrong. ___67___‎ The small island of Great Britain is an unquestionably powerhouse of children’s bestsellers: Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Significantly, all are fantasies. ___68___ Stories like The Call of the Wild. Charlotte’s Web, Little Women, and the Adventures of Tom Sawyer are more notable for their realistic portraits of day-to-day life in the towns and farmlands on the growing frontier. If British children gathered in the dim light of the kitchen fireplace to hear stories about magic swords and talking bears, American children sat at their mother’s knee listening tales with moral messages about a world where life was hard, obedience emphasized, and Christian morality valued. Each style has its virtues, but the British approach undoubtedly creates the kinds of stories that appeal to the furthest reaches of children’s imagination.‎ ‎___69___ For one, the British have always been in touch with their - 39 -‎ ‎ pagan(异教徒的)folk traditions and stories, says Maria Tatar, a Harvard professor of children’s literature. After all, the country’s very origin story is about a young king tutored by a wizard. Legends have always been accepted as history, from Merlin to Macbeth. “Even as the British were digging into these magical worlds, Americans, much more realistic, always viewed their soil as something to exploit,” says Tatar.‎ American write fantasies too, but nothing like the British, says Jerry Griswold, a San Diego State University professor of children’s literature. He said, “___70___” To prove it, he mentioned Dorothy, the heroine of Wizard of Oz(绿野仙踪)who unmasks the great and powerful Wizard as a cheat. Meanwhile, American fantasies differ in another way: They usually end with a moral lesson learned - for example, in Oz, Dorothy’s journey ends with the realization: “There’s no place like home.”‎ A. It all goes back to each country’s distinct cultural heritage.‎ B. American stories are rooted in realism; even our fantasies are rooted in realism.‎ C. Both boys are characterized by their unique roles, thus breathing life into the fancy stories.‎ D. Meanwhile, the United States, also a major player in children’s classics, deals much less in magic.‎ E. Britain’s time-honored countryside, with ancient castles and restful farms, lends itself to fairy-tale invention.‎ F. Both orphans took over the world of children’s literature, but their stories unfold in noticeable different ways.‎ ‎【答案】67. F 68. D 69. A 70. B ‎【解析】‎ 本文是说明文。文章讲述了英国人和美国人在讲述儿童故事方面是不同的，英国儿童文学作品是充满幻想的，而美国儿童文学作品是日常生活的现实写照。尽管美国儿童文学作品也有幻想的元素，但它们植根于现实主义。‎ ‎【67题详解】‎ 考查段尾句。空前简要描述了英国和美国的儿童文学的代表作品中的主人公的事迹，因此F项（两个孤儿都接管了儿童文学的世界，但是他们的故事以明显不同的方式展开。）能够承接上文。该选项中的Both orphans指的是前面的Harry Potter and Huckleberry - 39 -‎ ‎ Finn。故选F。‎ ‎【68题详解】‎ 考查段中句。空前讲的是英国儿童文学作品是充满幻想的，空后讲的是美国儿童文学作品是日常生活的现实写照。因此，D项（同时，美国还是儿童经典游戏的主要参与者，其魔术交易少得多）能够承接上文并且与下文连接通顺。该选项中的meanwhile前后两句是在对比英国和美国的儿童文学作品。故选D。‎ ‎【69题详解】‎ 考查段首句。空后讲的是英国和美国的儿童文学作品的来源是不同的，英国的儿童文学作品源于民俗传统和故事，而美国的儿童文学作品探索的是现实生活的土地，A项（这可以追溯到每个国家的独特文化遗产）能够与下文连接通顺。故选A。‎ ‎【70题详解】‎ 考查段中句。空前讲的是美国儿童文学作品也有幻想的元素，但不像英国的儿童文学作品。空后讲的是美国儿童文学作品在幻想方面不同于美国儿童文学作品的地方。因此B项（美国的故事植根于现实主义；甚至我们的幻想都植根于现实主义。）能够承接上文并且与下文连接通顺。空格后的句子中的it指代的是该选项的内容，随后进行了举例。故选B。‎ IV. Summary Writing ‎71.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.‎ Britain’s Buses are Getting Emptier In Britain, buses account for more public - transport trips than trains, tubes and trams put together. People love them, in theory: one poll by Transport Focus, a consumer group, found that 74% of young people think they are a good way of getting around and 85% believe it is important for a place to have a good bus service. There is just one problem. In practice, Britions are taking buses less and less.‎ Why are London buses emptier? One thing that has changed is young people’s behavior. The young are heavy bus users when they travel. But, increasingly, they do not travel. According to Transport for London, the average 17 - to 24-year-old took 2.3 transport trips per day in the year 2011- 12 but only 1.7 in 2018 - 19. The National Travel Survey confirms that no group has cut back harder on travel since - 39 -‎ ‎ the early 2000s than teenagers. Young people are more diligent these days, and stay in school for longer. They can do the things that young people love to do on their phones, without going out.‎ The other big bus users are the poor and the old, especially outside London, but both are turning away from buses to cars. Lower lending standards have made cars easier to acquire; a fuel-tax freeze and fuel - saving engines make them cheaper to run. Cars are ever more comfortable and easier to operate, with parking-assist technology and lane-drifting alerts to help starters. Outside London, the average free bus pass was used 90 times in the year 2010-11 but only 74 times in 2018-19, according to the Department for Transport.‎ Finally there is the gig economy(零工经济). Online shopping and Uber probably substitute of bus trips as well as private car journeys. And they put new vehicles on the roads, which slows everything down. The number of light-goods vehicles in London has risen by 28% since 2012. Tony Travers of the London School of Economics points out that bus speeds have fallen slightly in the capital, even though private cars have almost been cleared up from the city center. The average London bus now travels at 9.3 miles per hour. Just as people become less inclined to run after buses, they are becoming easier to catch.‎ ‎______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Fewer people take buses in the UK. The first reason is that young people use their mobile phones to do their favorite things instead of going out. Secondly, heavy bus users especially those poor and old people who live outside London start to use private cars. Lastly, online shopping and Uber may take the place of buses and private cars.‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。要求考生在阅读后抓住主要信息进行概要写作。‎ - 39 -‎ ‎【详解】 概要写作是将阅读与写作有机结合，要求考生既能读懂文章信息，又要依据要求规范连贯地表达内容，其中准确概括很有挑战且十分重要，根据记叙文、议论文、说明文等不同文体作相应概括，总的来说，遵循以下步骤：确定主题句；寻找关键词；重构主题句；重组支持句。‎ 通读全文我们可知，第一段提出了本文的话题：In practice, Britons are taking buses less and less.（现实中，在英国乘公共汽车的人越来越少。）；第二段提出了问题：Why are London buses emptier?（为什么在伦敦乘坐公交车的人越来越少？），接着本段中分析了它的一个原因，即They can do the things that young people love to do on their phones, without going out.（年轻人很多时候通过手机就可以不出门来做自己喜欢的事情。）；第三段分析英国乘公共汽车的人越来越少的第二个原因：The other big bus users are the poor and the old, especially outside London, but both are turning away from buses to cars.（其他的公共汽车使用者是穷人和老人，尤其是伦敦以外的人，但他们都从公共汽车转向汽车。）；第四段分析英国乘公共汽车的人越来越少的第三个原因：Finally there is the gig economy(零工经济). Online shopping and Uber probably substitute of bus trips as well as private car journeys. （最后是零工经济。在线购物和Uber可能会取代公交车和私家车的服务。）‎ ‎ 通过对以上信息的理解，可以得出结论：本文主要讨论在英国乘坐公共汽车的人越来越少。接下来文章分析了这一现象的三个原因。即年轻人很多时候可以通过手机不需要出门就能够做自己喜欢的事情；其他的公共汽车使用者是穷人和老人，尤其是伦敦以外的人，但他们都从公共汽车转向汽车；在线购物和Uber可能会取代公交车车旅行和私家车旅行。结合文中的关键词可总结如下：Fewer people take buses in the UK. The first reason is that young people use their mobile phones to do their favorite things instead of going out. Secondly, heavy bus users especially those poor and old people who live outside London start to use private cars. Lastly, online shopping and Uber may take the place of buses and private cars.‎ ‎【点睛】本篇范文对文章内容概述完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。作者在范文中使用了一些短语：instead of， take the place of。使用了that引导的表语从句：The first reason is that young people use their mobile phones to do their favorite things instead of going out. 使用了who引导的定语从句：Secondly, heavy bus users especially those poor and old people who live outside London start to use private - 39 -‎ ‎ cars.该总结思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，内容准确。‎ V.
