【题目】阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Dear world, here is why you should care about astronomy. It’s true that its advances benefit millions of people across the world. It has developed technology now to track where your 1 (pack) goes, to determine where you are and so 2.

But all of these are mere second thoughts, 3 (benefit) that have occurred without the primary intention of the maker. And that is 4 makes astronomy beautiful. To study something - not because we’re looking to gain anything in particular, but purely 5 (enjoy) natural wonders - 6 (be) all that makes us human. Doing work for the work itself creates room for mindfulness and joy.

I 7 (firm) believe that astronomy has a spiritual dimension in the sense of how it connects us with something bigger than ourselves. Because 8 astronomy, we now know exactly when the Universe 9 (come) into existence. And we’ve spotted thousands of planets orbiting other stars. It has explained mysteries (神秘的事物) 10 (confuse) us for thousands of years, but even more significant, it has opened up more mysteries than any of us can study in our lifetime.

【答案】

1package

2on

3benefits

4what

5to enjoy

6is

7firmly

8of

9came

10confusing

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。本文说明了世界应该关心天文学的原因。

1

考查名词。空白处前为人称代词的物主格your,属于形容词,结合词类用法,形容词修饰名词,所以,空白处应填名词。pack作为动词时,意思为收拾(行李),装(箱),其名词形式为package。故填package

2

考查固定用法。and so on“等等,诸如此类,所以此处填介词on。故填on

3

考查名词。该空和前面的thoughts为并列结构,所以形式上要一致,benefit是可数名词,所以用名词复数。故填benefits

4

考查表语从句。分析句子可知,空白处及以后的内容为表语从句,又结合从句分析,缺少主语,此处表示什么,故填what

5

考查非谓语动词。本句中使用了并列结构not…but…“不是……而是……”,因而but后形式要和not后的形式一样;结合not后的内容because we’re looking to gain anything in particular,可知to gain anything in particular为不定式作目的状语,所以but后也应为because we’re looking purely to enjoy natural wonders,为了避免重复,所以省略了because we’re looking purely,故填to enjoy

6

考查主谓一致。分析句子可知,本句的主语为to study something,为不定式,当不定式作主语时,谓语动词用单数;结合全文时态,可知此处要用一般现在时。故填is

7

考查副词。空白处后为谓语动词,修饰动词要用副词,firm为形容词,其副词形式为firmly。故填firmly

8

考查介词。固定短语because of “由于,因为”,其后常跟名词或名词短语,结合本句可知,astronomy为单个名词,所以填写介词of。故填of

9

考查时态。分析句子,本句为复合句,其中when the Universe     9     (come) into existence.是一个宾语从句,主句使用一般现在时,宾语从句可以使用任何适当的时态。短语come into existence“形成,开始存在”,结合句意,我们现在准确的知道了宇宙是什么时候形成的。宇宙的形成是发生在过去,所以,宾语从句要用一般过去时。故填came。

10

考查非谓语动词。句意:这个已经解释了困惑我们几千年来的神秘的事物。confuse与其逻辑主语mysteries之间是主动关系,用现在分词短语作定语。故填confusing

【题目】 China’s war on garbage is as digital as the country itself. Think QR codes attached to trash bags that allow the government to trace exactly where its trash comes from.

On July 1, Shanghai began a compulsory garbage sorting program. Households and companies must classify their wastes into four categories and dump them in appointed places at certain times. The strict program became a headache for some residents. Not even the most environmentally conscious person can get all the answers right. Like, which bin does the newspaper you just used to pick up dog poop (粪便)belong to?

Gratefully, China’s tech startups are here to help. For instance, China’s biggest internet companies responded with new search features that help people identify what wastes are “wet”, “dry”, “toxic”, or “recyclable”. Simply pull up a mini app on WeChat, Baidu or Alipay and enter the keyword. The tech firms will give you the answer and why.

Alipay, Alibaba’s electronics payment company, claims its garbage sorting mini app added one million users under just three days. The mini app has so far indexed (编索引) more than 4,000 types of rubbish. Its database is still growing, and soon it will save people from typing by using image recognition to classify trash when they snap a photo of it. If people are too busy or lazy to hit the collection schedule, well, startups are offering trash service at the doorstep. A third-party developer helped Alipay build a recycling mini app and is now collecting garbage from 8,000 apartment complexes across 11 cities. To date, two million people have sold recyclable materials through its platform.

Besides helping households out, companies are also building software to make property managers, life easier. Some residential complexes in Shanghai began using QR codes to trace the origin of garbage. This way, regulators in the region know exactly which family has produced the trash and fine violators.

1What are some residents confused about?

A.Environmental knowledge.B.Bin for dog poop.

C.Some waste classification.D.Time for dumping.

2What is the advantage of trash service at the doorstep?

A.It provides time flexibility.B.It reduces household waste.

C.It saves people from typing.D.It classifies rubbish properly.

3Who will probably most welcome the use of QR codes?

A.Third-party developers.B.Company managers.

C.Community administrators.D.Rubbish collectors.

4What is the main idea of this article?

A.People need recycling apps badly.

B.People should classify their rubbish.

C.How regulators benefit from the tech.

D.How China uses tech to sort waste.

【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

We touch our faces all the time, and it had never seemed to be a big problem – until COVID-19 arrived. 1 (touch) our faces – the “T-zone” of our eyes, nose and mouth in particular – can mean giving ourselves the 2 (dead) virus. This is why 3 (organization) like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have suggested that we avoid touching our faces. “Just stop this simple behavior,” William Sawyer, founder of Henry the Hand, a nonprofit organization that promotes hand hygiene(卫生), 4(tell) The Washington Post. “It’s the one behavior 5 would be better than any vaccine ever created.”

Yet, stopping this “simple” behavior might be harder than you think because it’s already hardwired(固有的) into our system. Some face touching is automatic – like when there is 6 itch on your nose, you’ll scratch it without thinking. Moreover, face-touching is subconscious, 7 means it’s very hard to change because you don’t even know you’re doing it. 8you’re not alone. In a 2015 study, where a group of medical students 9 (film) in class, it was found that they touched their faces an average of 23 times an hour – with 44 percent of the touches being in the “T-zones”. That was particularly surprising since medical students were supposed 10(know) better. Since it’s so hard to shake the habit, maybe the easiest way is to wash our hands more often. This way, we can be sure that our hands are free from the novel coronavirus.

【题目】 In 1848 gold was found in California. Thousands of people rushed there to get some. Many people liked living there. But there wasn’t a whole lot between California (CA) and Missouri (MO), where the nearest trains ran. The train line to California wasn’t finished until 1869.

In I860 and 1861, the Pony Express was the fastest way to get news to and from the West. The trail that they rode was around 2000 miles long. It took most people weeks or months to ride that far. The Pony Express could make the trip in just ten days. Those speeds were unheard of at the time. So how did they do it? Well, they had a good system.

The Pony Express had 184 stations along the trail. The stations were around ten miles apart. This is about how far a horse could run at a gallop (疾驰) before tiring. The rider would switch to a new horse at each station. He would only take his mail pouch (邮袋) with him. Every 75-100 miles, the rider would get to a home station. At each home station, riders would rest. The mail never stopped moving, even while the horses and riders rested.

It was tough to ride for the Pony Express. Each rider had to weigh less than 125 pounds. Speed was the key. Most of the riders were teenage boys. They rode at a fast pace for up to 100 miles a day. If there were an emergency, one might have to ride 200 miles in a day.

The Pony Express filled an important role for a time, but it did not last. The Civil War started in April of 1861. On October 24th, 1861, the first telegraph line to California was finished. This linked them to the rest of the country. People could send messages in an instant. Two days later the Pony Express closed.

1Which happened first?

A.The Pony Express was started.B.The American Civil War broke out.

C.The train line to California was finished.D.Settlers rushed to California to find gold.

2How long did it take the Pony Express to send mail from CA to MO?

A.About 24 hours.B.About ten days.

C.About twenty days.D.About one month.

3What would a rider do at the home station?

A.Give his mail to a new rider.B.Rest a while and go on riding.

C.Collect new mail for customers.D.Feed the horse and check the mail.

4What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A.To prove communication industry develops rapidly.

B.To explain why horses were used to deliver mail.

C.To describe the I860 - 1861E Fastest Mail Service.

D.To tell the brave stories of the Pony Express.
