A
From Alton Towers to Legoland, our experts pick their favorite British theme parks, highlighting the best roller coasters, character-led attractions, and animal safaris (狩猎旅行). Drayton Manor
The Staffordshire theme park includes rides for all ages but stands out for having hit on a winning formula for young families with its expanding Thomas Land section. The 286-acre site is set in woodlands but the main village is enough for little legs to explore, making it well suited to pre-and primary school children. Paultons Family Theme Park
On the edge of New Forest National Park, in Hampshire, Paultons Family Theme Park sits in 140 acres of attractive parkland. Although overshadowed by Thorpe Park and Alton Towers in terms of big rides, the park is home to Peppa Pig World, as well as 60 rides and attractions, and is best for families with young children. Chessington World of Adventures
This park in Surrey has injected novelty (新奇) this year with the launch of its exclusive Gruffalo River Ride Adventure, raising its status as a family-friendly destination. The park also provides added family value with the opportunity to get a close-up interaction with animals including monkey walk-throughs and the Zufari safari experience. Legoland Windsor
If you’re looking for stomach-in-the-mouth roller coasters, Legoland is not for you. This is the entry-level theme park for families with kids below the age of 12, with bucket-loads to keep them happy. Now in its third decade, set in lovely grounds, the theme park still has some of the charm of the original Danish parent park, with plenty of giraffes, crocodiles and pirates made out of Lego bricks spread over the rides.
1. Which of the following is recommended if a family want to interact with animals? A. Drayton Manor
B. Paultons Family Theme Park C. Chessington World of Adventures D. Legoland Windsor
2. What do the four theme parks have in common? A. They’re all ideal for children. B. They all feature thrilling big rides.
C. They’re all renewing recreational facilities. D. They all cover a vast area of over 200 acres. 3. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To promote ecotourism. B. To value family union. C. To introduce theme parks. D. To compare tourist attractions 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. C 【解析】
这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个英国的主题公园以及它们各自的特色。 【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Chessington World of Adventures部分关键句“The park also provides added family value with the opportunity to get a close-up interaction with animals.”(该公园还提供了附加的家庭价值,有机会与动物
.
进行近距离互动。)可知,在Chessington World of Adventures,有机会与动物进行近距离互动。由此可知,如果一个家庭想要与动物互动,推荐的是Chessington World of Adventures。故选C项。 【2题详解】
推理判断题。本题需要找出这四个主题公园有什么共同点。根据Drayton Manor部分关键句“making it well suited to pre-and primary school children”(使它非常适合学龄前和小学儿童)可知,Drayton Manor是适合孩子们的公园。根据Paultons Family Theme Park部分关键句“and is best for families with young children”(最适合有小孩的家庭)可知,Paultons Family Theme Park也是适合孩子们的公园。根据Chessington World of Adventures部分关键句“The park also provides added family value with the opportunity to get a close-up interaction with animals”(该公园还提供了附加的家庭价值,有机会与动物进行近距离互动)可知,在Chessington World of Adventures可以与动物互动,也是适合孩子们的公园。根据Legoland Windsor部分关键句“This is the entry-level theme park for families with kids below the age of 12”(这是一个入门级的主题公园,面向有12岁以下儿童的家庭)可知,Legoland Windsor也是适合孩子们的公园。由此可推断出,四个主题公园的共同点在于它们都是孩子们的理想选择。故选A项。 【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容及第一段关键句“From Alton Towers to Legoland, our experts pick their favorite British theme parks”(从Alton Towers到Legoland,我们的专家们挑选出他们最喜欢的英国主题公园)可知,本文主要介绍了四个英国的主题公园以及它们各自的特色。由此可推断出,作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍主题公园。故选C项。
B
It happened again last week.One of my relatives asked me, “My dear girl, you work in oncology(肿瘤科)? Isn't that depressing?” I have heard those questions many times as an oncology nurse and my response is always the same.I tell them no,and that I love it.And then I smile.
I work in the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at North Shore University Hospital.Together with my colleagues,we get to know most of our patients very well.We learn about their likes and dislikes.We get to meet their families and they take pictures of us.They tell us about a favorite vacation they once took and they wish us a good time when we are leaving for one.They also tell us to enjoy every moment of the day because we never know when life is going to change.
I am thinking of a recent experience we had with our patient Jim,a middle-aged man who is always expecting good things to happen and hopeful about the future.He was diagnosed with liver cancer a year ago and was facing the real possibility that he did not have a long time to live.But Jim voluntarily made up his mind to try for some very
experimental treatments, even though the pain was almost too great to tolerate.
Eventually,Jim's disease went into remission.It is Easter Sunday now and he is home with his family.Jim got a miracle.An important reason why I work in oncology is that sometimes, not usually, not even very often, miracles do happen.And when they do,I am filled with gratitude and pride that as a nurse,I can be a part of that miraculous process.
Now you know why I smile when people ask me if I find oncology nursing to be sad or disappointing.I recall all the miracles I have seen and I remember what my patients have told me and I can't help but smile. 4. What is the author's impression of most about her patients? A. They are overcome with depression. B. They are keen to go sightseeing. C. They stay positive despite illnesses. D. They fail to understand her work.
5. What might be the main reason for the author's being an oncology nurse? A. She has a real talent for nursing. B. The experience benefits her a lot. C. Her job is respectable and well-paid. D. Patients can get miracles under her care.
6. What does the underlined part \"went into remission\" in Paragraph 4 mean? A. remained the same B. began to improve C. changed for the worse D. reached a critical stage
7. What can we learn from Jim's experience? A. One man's meat is another man's poison. B. Health is not valued until sickness comes.
C. Where there is great love, there are always miracles. D. An optimist sees an opportunity in every catastrophe. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者成为肿瘤科护士的主要原因是在她的照顾下,病人们可以创造奇
迹,并从他们身上学到了积极乐观的精神。 【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“They also tell us to enjoy every moment of the day because we never know when life is going to change.(他们还告诉我们要享受一天中的每一刻,因为我们永远不知道生活什么时候会改变。)”可以推断,作者对她的病人印象最深的是尽管生病,他们仍然保持乐观。故选C。 【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Jim got a miracle.An important reason why I work in oncology is that sometimes, not usually, not even very often, miracles do happen.(吉姆得到了一个奇迹。我从事肿瘤研究的一个重要原因是,有时,不通常,甚至不经常发生奇迹。)”可知,作者成为肿瘤科护士的主要原因是在她的照顾下,病人们可以创造奇迹。故选D。 【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词后句“It is Easter Sunday now and he is home with his family. Jim got a miracle. (现在是复活节,他和他的家人在家里。Jim是一个奇迹。)”并结合第三段内容可知,Jim起初病重,现在得到了缓解和改善。由此可知,went into remission意为“开始改善”。故选B。 【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段和第四段可知,Jim由起初病重,面临着生命即将结束的现实可能性,但是他积极尝试实验性的治疗,到最终得到了缓解和改善并和家人在一起。从Jim的经历中我们可以学到:乐观者在每一场灾难中都能看到机遇。故选D。
C
The aviation (航空) industry is currently responsible for about 2 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. This figure is set to grow as air travel becomes increasingly popular. However, efforts to reduce the effects of aviation are moving at a very slow pace. Electric and solar-powered airliners are reportedly in development at Wright Electric and Airbus among others, but battery technology still falls behind jet fuels.
The surprising effects of aviation are why a number of people are choosing to quit, or hugely restrict, flying. While “staying grounded”, as activists call it, might not make the biggest difference to your carbon footprint—a study last summer found that cutting meat, eggs and dairy was the best thing people can do for the planet—it can still make a huge difference.
Zoe Hatch, who lives in Maidenhead, stopped flying in 2015 after reading up on climate change. Her husband and their two children, 11 and 15, joined her in a family decision to switch to slow travel. Hatch hasn’t found it
inconvenient or expensive, she says. She uses apps to find affordable train tickets. Being connected to continental Europe by the Eurostar train makes it relatively easy to travel abroad without needing to fly.
Steve Melia, Ph.D, an expert in sustainable transportation, stopped flying in 2005. He agrees that individual change, in itself, won’t prevent climate crisis. “The sort of rapid change we need to avoid the collapse of the ecosystem through climate change—that’s not going to come about by people voluntarily choosing to change their behavior,” he added.
Melia adds that it’s important that people who feel the need to quit don’t talk themselves out of it. “If we are going to achieve the sort of rapid change that is necessary, some people have to initiate (倡议) that change, and if all of the people who might be initiating change are themselves flying and convincing themselves that they can’t live without flying, then where’s the initiative for change going to come from?” he asked. 8. What can we learn about the aviation industry from the passage? A. Some people quit flying due to financial factors. B. There is still a long way to go for electric airlines. C. Individual efforts to quit flying don’t make any sense. D. The aviation industry contributes most to global warming. 9. What is Hatch’s attitude towards “slow travel”? A. Supportive. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
10. How does the author support the theme of the passage? A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By explaining statistical data. D. By providing research results.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. To rescue the Earth is to rescue future? B. To fly or not to fly, that’s a question. C. Why some people have given up flying?
D. Less emission of carbon, more chances of survival.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】
这是一篇议论文。本文主要论述的是随着航空业的温室气体排放量的逐年增加,作为个人来讲,放弃或严格限制飞行次数的行为是有必要的。 【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Electric and solar-powered airliners are reportedly in development at Wright Electric and Airbus among others, but battery technology still falls behind jet fuels.”(据报道,Wright Electric和Airbus等公司正在研发电动和太阳能客机,但电池技术仍落后于喷气式飞机的燃料。)可知,由于技术原因,用于电动飞机的电池还不足以支持电动飞机的运行,还需要继续研究。由此可推断出,对于电力航空公司来说,想要成功还有很长的路要走。故选B项。 【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“Zoe Hatch, who lives in Maidenhead, stopped flying in 2015 after reading up on climate change. Her husband and their two children, 11 and 15, joined her in a family decision to switch to slow travel.”(Zoe Hatch住在Maidenhead,在阅读了有关气候变化的文章后,于2015年停止了飞行。她的丈夫11岁和15岁,Hatch和他们的两个孩子,加入到她的行动中,全家人决定转换为慢旅行的出行方式。)可知,对“慢旅行”的态度是支持的,因为全家人都将出行方式转化为“慢旅行”,Supportive意为“支持的”,符合Hatch对“慢旅行”的态度。故选A项。 【10题详解】
推理判断题。本题需要我们推断出作者是如何支持这篇文章的主题的。本文主要论述的是随着航空业的温室气体排放量的逐年增加,作为个人来讲,放弃或严格限制飞行次数的行为是有必要的。文章中分别举出了“Zoe Hatch”和“Steve Melia”的例子,她们都是在了解了这一问题后,决定停止乘飞机的出行方式,为环保尽自己的力量。由此可推断出,作者是通过列举具体人物的例子来支持这篇文章的主题的。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要论述的是随着航空业的温室气体排放量的逐年增加,作为个人来讲,放弃或严格限制飞行次数的行为是有必要的。在文章中,为了论证这一观点,分别列举了“Zoe Hatch”和“Steve Melia”的例子,两个人都是因为了解到飞机运行会排放温室气体这个问题后,才决定停止乘飞机的出行方式。“Why some people have given up flying?”意为“为什么有些人放弃了飞行?”,能够引出文章想要表达的主题,吸引读者的注意。故选C项。
D
Now a company is launching a new robot on personal service machines.Rather than keeping you company at home,GITA (pronounced Jee-Tah) helps you go hands-free while you walk down the street, to the grocery store or to visit your neighbors.Like the name, which means“outing\" in Italian, the robotic servant is for short trips out and about.
Designed by the Piaggio Group, the smart device uses five cameras to see you,follow you around and carry up to 40 pounds of your belongings for four hours.It's similar to those robotic suitcases that trail behind you at the airport, but with an entirely different outside.Picture a large container but on wheels.That's what GITA looks like in the flagship orange color.Imagine having a hi-tech that can follow you around with your shopping inside.Ir's round and strong yet relatively smart and convenient.The robotic helper is a joy to engage with,sort of like a dog.
Operating GITA is simple.You just press one button to turn it on,one button for the cameras to scan your legs, and you're off.It actually does a pretty good job of following you and recognizing when you change directions.Its movement is oddly natural.When you speed up it falls behind a bit before trying to catch up,and when you stop,it stops-usually.GITA operates best on hard surfaces.However,it can't go upstairs.It can roll on slight inclines(斜坡)and keep up with a walking person at speeds up to 6 miles per hour.
A system of sounds and lights will let you know whether it is unpaired or needs a charge.And an app lets you share your robot with your \"crewheme music as you take the kids trick-or-treating.
A USA TODAY tech reporter gave GITA a test run in 2019.He said,\"GITA certainly made quite an impression on passers-by as it rolled down New York's busy Madison Avenue.\"Yet having tech trail behind you takes some getting used to.You can't help but look behind you to make sure it's keeping up, somewhat like monitoring a pet. 12. The new robot is designed mainly to A. instruct you where to go B. serve you as you walk around C. accompany you at home D. protect you when you're traveling 13. What is the new robot probably like? A. It looks like a royal dog. B. It has flags and smart panels.
C. It is round,orange and can roll of itself. D. It resembles cameras in appearance.
14. GITA scans the legs of its owner to A. recognize the owner B. adjust its pace C. charge more efficiently D. move more naturally
15. What can we learn about GITA from the last paragraph? A. People are heavily dependent on it. B. It is far from being put into use.
C. It is easy to get lost and needs to be improved.
D. Users have difficulty accustoming themselves to it at first. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一家公司正在个人服务机器上推出一种新的机器人---GITA。 【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Now a company is launching a new robot on personal service machines. Rather than keeping you company at home, GITA (pronounced Jee-Tah) helps you go hands-free while you walk down the street, to the grocery store or to visit your neighbors.” 现在,一家公司正在个人服务机器上推出一种新的机器人。GITA不是在家陪伴你,而是和你走在街上、去杂货店或拜访邻居,你不用手就能出门。可知这个新机器人的设计主要是为了在您走动时为您服务。故选B。 【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Picture a large container but on wheels. That's what GITA looks like in the flagship orange color. Imagine having a hi-tech that can follow you around with your shopping inside. it's round and strong yet relatively smart and convenient.” 想象一个有轮子的大集装箱。这就是GITA穿旗舰橙色时的样子。想象一下,拥有一种高科技设备,可以在你购物的时候随时跟随你。它圆而结实,但相对灵巧和方便。可知机器人是它是圆形的,橙色的,可以自己滚动。故选C。 【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When you speed up it falls behind a bit before trying to catch up,and when you stop,it stops-usually.”可知当你加速的时候,它会落后一点,当你停下来的时候,它通常会停下来。所以机器人扫描它主人的腿来调整速度。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yet having tech trail behind you takes some getting used to. You can't help but look behind you to make sure it's keeping up, somewhat like monitoring a pet.” 在你身后有科技踪迹需要一些时间来适应。你会忍不住回头看,以确保它跟上你的步伐,有点像监视一只宠物。由此判断出使用者一开始很难适应它。故选D。

38. who 39. systematically 40. to 41. picking 42. concluded 43. while/but 44. breakthroughs 45. those 【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了中医的发展和西医在中国的发展。 【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中医起源于周朝,以《黄帝内经》为标志,作为“国药”,在两千多年的历史中一直救死扶伤、治病救人。根据后文动词save可知,本句已有谓语动词,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语,根据空后介词by可知,此处表示被动关系,所以空处需用symbol对应动词symbolize
的过去分词symbolized。故填symbolized。 【37题详解】
考查时态。句意同上。根据时间状语for the past two thousand years or so可知,空处谓语需用现在完成进行时态:have/has been doing,表示过去发生的动作一直持续到现在,将会继续下去,主语是单数概念TCM,所以此处助动词需用has。故填has been saving。 【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:1851年,英国医生Benjamin Hobson出版《生理学论》,将西方临床医学的种子系统地播撒进中国知识界的土壤,对中医提出了严峻的挑战。分析句子结构可知,空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Benjamin Hobson,指人,关系词在定语从句中作主语,所以空处需用关系代词who引导定语从句。故填who。 【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:1851年,英国医生Benjamin Hobson出版《生理学论》,将西方临床医学的种子系统地播撒进中国知识界的土壤,对中医提出了严峻的挑战。空处需用副词作状语修饰动词planted,system对应的副词是systematically “系统地”。故填systematically。 【40题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。pose…to…给……造成威胁/问题,固定搭配。故填to。 【41题详解】
考查动名词。句意:例如,Tong Zonghai 主张挑出西医中有用的部分。advocate doing sth.支持做某事,固定搭配,所以空处需用动名词作宾语。故填picking。 【42题详解】
考查时态。句意:另一位医学专家朱培文,在比较了中医
经络系统和西医的循环系统后,认为治疗外病
要依靠西医的技术,而治疗内病则要以中医哲学为主。根据前一句谓语动词advocated可知,空处谓语动词需用一般过去时,表示过去发生的事情。故填concluded。 【43题详解】
考查连词。句意同上。根据前后句意可知,此处前后表示转折和对比之意,所以空处需用连词while/but。故填while/but。 【44题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:自20世纪20年代以来,西医在中国迅速发展,得益于西方学科的大量新突破。
breakthrough为可数名词,plenty of大量的,许多的,其后可接可数名词复数,breakthrough的复数为breakthroughs“突破”。故填breakthroughs。 【45题详解】
考查代词。句意:在20世纪70年代,西医医生终于超越了中医医生。此处需用代词those指代the doctors。故填those。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The icy wind howled across the empty street and it was an unusually quiet day in the emergency room on December twenty-fifth. Quiet, that is, except for the nurses who were standing around the nurses' station complaining about having to work on Christmas Day, for people were supposed to be spending time with their families, exchanging gifts and wishes.
I was guiding nurse that day and had just done the cleanup in the waiting room. Since there were no patients waiting to be seen at the time, I returned to the nurses' station for a cup of hot coffee that someone had brought in for Christmas. Just then, a colleague came back and told me I had five patients waiting to be evaluated.
I was surprised, \"Five, how did I get five.I was just out there and no one was in the waiting room. \" "Well, there are five signed in. \"
So I went straight out and called the first name. Five bodies showed up at my guiding desk, a pale short woman and four small children in untidy clothing.
"Are you all sick?\"I asked suspiciously. "Yes,\" she said weakly and lowered her head.
"Okay,\" I replied, unconvinced,“Who's first?” One by one they sat down, and I asked the usual beginning questions. When it came to the descriptions of their symptoms, things got a little vague. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren't accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough, but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong with the picture. Our hospital policy, however, was not to turn away any patient, so we would see them. When I explained to the mother that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her because, there were several more critical patients, she responded, \"Take your time, it's warm in here and there is a Christmas tree.\" 注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then the mother turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The nurses, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then she turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room.Though warm, the room was far from comfortable for children, who nestled closely by the Christmas tree. The youngest kid was staring at gifts on the tree, exclaiming something to her mother. Met with refusal, the wretched creature was on the verge of tears. The guilty mother looked upset, great sorrow clouding her face. The rest froze, eyes falling on their little sister. Realizing they were homeless, I went back and told my colleagues what had happened.
My colleagues, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family.Soon we were busy preparing presents for our unexpected guests, who just wanted to stay warm on Christmas Day. With gifts in hand, the kids couldn't restrain their joy, whose laughter became quite infectious.The waiting room pulsed with happiness and we were able to locate a shelter that would take the family in. As they were leaving, the mother hugged each of us and whispered, “You're our angels and it's your love that warms us up!” 【解析】 【分析】
本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者在圣诞节和朋友在医院值班,一个脸色苍白、身材矮小的女人和四个穿着邋遢衣服的小孩来到了医院看病,在得知他们并不是真的生病了,而是因为他们无家可归之后,作者和护士朋友为孩子们精心的准备礼物,和孩子一起快乐的度过圣诞节。 【详解】1.段落续写:
