【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。
A female Arctic fox traveled nearly 2, 200 miles in 76 days—from Norway to Canada—and surprised Norwegian scientists in the process.
The fox 【1】 (equip) with a satellite transmitter by scientists at the Norwegian Polar Institute, where scientists wanted 【2】 (survey) just how far Arctic foxes travel from their birthplace. They found their answer: In less than three months, it went from Spitsbergen, 【3】 island in northern Norway, to Ellesmere Island in the northeastern part of Canada.
The fox moved 【4】 a rate of 29 miles a day. At its fastest, it traveled nearly 100 miles in a single day while 【5】 (cross) Greenland. It set a record for the fastest movement rate ever 【6】 (document) in an Arctic fox. 'This is among the longest 【7】 (event) ever recorded for an Arctic fox, covering extensive stretches of sea ice and glaciers, ' wrote Norwegian scientists Eva Fuglei and Arnaud Tarroux in a report.
The journey was among the longest recorded by scientists, 【8】 it also raises questions of the effects 【9】 climate changes have on sea ice and animals that navigate the Arctic. The Arctic 【10】 (current) faces 'its most excellent transition in human history', said Emily Osborne of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
【答案】
【1】was equipped
【2】to survey
【3】an
【4】at
【5】crossing
【6】documented
【7】events
【8】but
【9】that/which
【10】currently
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一只狐狸在76天里,从挪威到加拿大行进将近2200英里的故事。
【1】
考查时态语态。分析句子可知,此处是主句谓语动词,由下文的wanted判断为一般过去时,主语the fox和equip之间是被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是单数,故填was equipped。
【2】
考查固定短语。此处考查短语want to do sth.“想要做某事”,故填to survey。
【3】
考查冠词。分析句子可知,此处作为Spitsbergen的同位语,意为“Spitsbergen,挪威北部的一个岛屿”是泛指,应用不定冠词,又island是元音音素开头,故填an。
【4】
考查介词。此处是固定搭配at the rate of…“以……的速度”,故填at。
【5】
考查状语从句的省略。分析句子可知,此处考查状语从句的省略,原句为At its fastest, it traveled nearly 100 miles in a single day while it was crossing Greenland。主从句主语都为it,且从句中有was,所以省略了it was,用crossing,故填crossing。
【6】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此处是非谓语动词作后置定语,逻辑主语rate和document之间是被动关系,应用过去分词,故填documented。
【7】
考查名词的数。among…通常表达 “在众多的……之中”,其后常跟复数名词,故填events。
【8】
考查并列连词。句意:这是科学家记录的最长的旅途,但是它同时也提出了气候对海洋冰川和在北极航行的动物的影响问题。根据句意可知,上下文是转折关系,故填but。
【9】
考查定语从句。分析句子可知,此处是定语从句关系词,先行词effects在从句中充当have的宾语,应用关系代词,故填that/which。
【10】
考查副词。此处应用副词修饰动词face,故填currently。

【题目】 People often say that “failure is the mother of success”. 【1】 As a result, Manalo, a professor of educational psychology in Japan says, “We know we shouldn’t give up when we fail—but in reality, we do.”
Manalo and Manu, a professor of learning sciences in Swiss, put together a special issue (专利) last December on benefiting from failure. The issue’s 15 studies provide teachers and educational researchers with a guide for achieving success. 【2】 Another confirmed that advice on failures is most constructive when the receiver is prepared to experience unpleasant feelings.
Manalo and his co-authors also focused on overcoming one everyday form of failure: not completing a task. They asked 131 students to write an article about their school experiences. Half of the students received instructions for their writing, and half were left to their own. 【3】 Afterward the researchers found that those in the instructed group were more willing to complete their articles, compared with those who lacked guidance—even if the latter were closer to being done. 【4】
【5】 Stephanie Couch, the director of the Lemelson-MIT Program, holds the opinion. Couch, whose work was also featured in the special issue, says that we should tell them to think of failure as part of a process toward success.
A.However, all were stopped before finishing.
B.The saying shows the importance of success.
C.Teaching students not to fear failure makes goals achieved more easily.
D.One study reported that the sooner students fail, the sooner they can move forward.
E.Though having some truth to it, the saying does not tell us how to turn a loss into a win.
F.They believed that learning how to fail can help people avoid becoming lasting failures.
G.Knowing how to finish, in other words, was more important than being close to finishing.

【题目】 Sea urchins(海胆) are small creatures , but what’s really remarkable about them is that they eat anything that happens to float by. They have really sharp teeth they use to rid rocks of algae(海藻)which makes them pretty valuable especially in places like Hawaii where algae are threatening the coral reefs. In the summer of 2019, 500,000 of them were used to deal with the algae.
The problem started when non-native algae were introduced to the ecosystem of Kaneohe Bay in the 1970s. Because they had no enemies, they ended up taking over the bay, according to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The algae blocked sunlight from reaching the coral, which in turn affected the local fish because they changed the chemistry of the water.
That’s when the NMFS turned to sea urchins that loved to devour the algae. But they had to grow to the size of a cherry tomato before they could be used. Since 2011, sea urchins have been grown and used to handle the algae problem. Some of the funds are available due to an unfortunate incident. In 2005, a ship was grounded on a shallow reef near Kaneohe Bay. When the ship was removed, 20 acres of reefs have been damaged. When there is environmental damage, the NMFS and other agencies receive funds from the wrongdoers and the funds are used to restore the damage. Some funds were spent on other projects like the sea urchins. The state of Hawaii began to grow the sea urchins. When they are large enough, divers carefully place them on the reef.
Algae isn’t the only thing that threatens the coral reefs. Climate change and the effects of fishing and tourism in the area also endanger the coral reefs. But turning to sea urchins instead of man-made solutions seems like the best way to go.
【1】Why are sea urchins regarded as outstanding creatures?
A.They are tiny but have teeth.
B.They can keep the ocean clean.
C.They can remove harmful algae.
D.They grow on coral reefs with algae.
【2】What happened after non-native algae arrived at Kaneohe Bay?
A.They helped the coral reefs to survive.
B.They spread to every corner of the bay.
C.They didn't fit in with the new surroundings.
D.They fought against other species to get food.
【3】Which word can replace the underlined word “devour” in paragraph 3?
A.EatB.Block
C.AttackD.Attract
【4】What does the author suggest doing to save coral reefs?
A.Banning fishing and tourism.B.Relying on humans’ solutions.
C.Employing divers to handle algae.D.Letting nature take care of nature.

A study, 【1】 (lead) by the University of St. Andrews, found a balanced and healthy lifestyle, including becoming fitter, having less stress and sleeping 【2】 (long) all gave skin a more healthy-looking colour.

【题目】 How to Put on a Medical Mask
Medical masks are mainly used by health care professionals to protect themselves and others. The masks can prevent the spread of infectious diseases. During a bad disease outbreak, that the public wear masks to protect themselves is also recommended. Here are some steps to wearing a mask properly.
Clean your hands. Before touching a clean medical mask, wash your hands thoroughly with both soap and water. Once you've applied soap, you should rub your hands together to wash them for at least 20 seconds. Always use a clean paper towel to dry your hands. 【1】
Check the medical mask for imperfections. Once you've taken a new medical mask from the box, check it to ensure it doesn't contain any imperfections, holes or tears in the material. 【2】.
Orient(确定方向) the top of the mask properly. In order for the mask to fit as close to your skin as possible, the top portion of the mask will have a bendable, but stiff edge that can be shaped around your nose. Ensure this bendable side is facing upwards before applying the mask to your face.
【3】 The inside of most medical masks is white in colour, while the outside has a colour of some sort. Before applying the mask to your face, make sure the white side is facing towards your face.
Place the mask on your face. There are many types of medical masks available, each with different methods of attaching the mask to your head. 【4】 Pick up this type of mask by the loops(环), put one loop around one ear and then put the other loop around your other ear. If it is a mask with ties, pick up the mask by the upper ties, place the ties around the back of your head and attach them together with a bow.
【5】 Now that the medical mask is in place on your head and face, use your fingers to make the top edge of the mask around the bridge of your nose. If it is big enough, cover it over your chin.
A.Hold the mask in front of your face.
B.These masks are generally somewhat loose fitting.
C.Ensure the proper side of the mask faces outwards.
D.Adjust the nose piece and fit the mask to your face.
E.Don't forget to place that paper towel into a dustbin.
F.Some masks have 2 ear loops on either side of the mask.
G.If the mask has something wrong, throw it away and select another new mask from the box.
