48、【分析】这是一篇说明文文。文章主要介绍了公民科学项目，使青少年体验实验的乐趣，激励着少年，为他们在科学的道路上指引着方向。【24题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Over the course of a few weeks, Id completed every experiment. But in the process, I polluted my parents dining room carpet and burnt the kitchen worktop with the spirit burner,” she says.”（ 在几周的时间里，我完成了所有的实验。但在这个过程中，
49、我污染了我父母的餐厅地毯，用酒精炉烧了厨房的工作台面，”）上一段提到时候，乔安娜巴克利对科学并不感兴趣，直到她有机会尝试一下。这件事发生在她圣诞节得到一套化学仪器的时候。由此可知，第二段是为了支持上面一段作者的观点，只有做了试验才能对科学感兴趣。故选A。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据文章主要第四段可知“Citizen science takes the fun of experimenting a step further than Buckleys at-home chemistry kit. Thats because these experiments are real, looking
50、 for novel answers.”（ 公民科学的乐趣在于比巴克利的家庭化学试剂盒更进一步的实验，那是因为这些实验是真实的，寻找新的答案）可知，它更有趣是因为需要寻找新的解决办法。故选C。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段中“Compared with a one-off experiment，whats cool about citizen science is that students get that this has a purpose” 与一次性的实验相比，公民科学的最酷之处在于，学生们意识到这是有目的的。由此可知，公民科学受学生欢迎。故选C。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据文

55、ically in just four years, rising from 6 per 100,000 in the population to 19 per 100,000. Of the estimated 14,651 e-scooter-related injuries in 2018, 4,658, or 32%, involved the head. “While most people recover from head injuries, there is going to be a subset with long-term disability and life chan
56、ges,” said Dr. Benjamin Breyer.Dr. Benjamin Breyer of the University of California, Los Angeles, pointed to a 2019 analysis of the data from two hospitals in Southern California, which found just 4.8% of injured e-scooter riders were wearing helmets.Dr. Joann Elmore, a professor of medicine at the U
57、niversity of California, Los Angeles, believed that most e-scooter users are probably unaware of the risks. To make the point, she described a photo taken by a colleague. “There were two riders on an e-scooter,” she said. “No one had shoes on. There were no helmets. And the woman in front had a baby
58、 in a baby carrier.”The new report highlights the need for more research on new technologies, said Dr. Guohua Li, a professor of epidemiology(流行病学).“Just as there is a global network of experts working on infectious diseases, there needs to be a similar program devoted to the surveillance(监视，监察) and

E-scooter injury rates had increased due to speeding.B. 32% of injured e-scooter riders werent wearing helmets.C. There is a program devoted to the prevention of injuries caused by advanced technologies.D
61、. Protection and innovation are of equal importance.29. What can we infer from Dr. Joann Elmores comments?A. She is an anti-scooter.B. The woman in front was pregnant.C. She is concerned about the e-scooter users.D. Most e-scooter riders often drive at high speed.30. What does the underlined word “h

To arouse peoples awareness of the risks and self-protection.B. To introduce a new way of transport e-scooters.C. To ask people not to ride e-scooters any m
63、ore.D. To urge policymakers to make laws as soon as possible.【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项调查结果近几年来，驾驶电动摩托车导致的受伤率急剧上升。专家称，这项新的调查结果强调了需要对新技术进行更多的研究，既要保护公众不受到来自新技术和产品的危害，又要避免阻碍技术创新。【28题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段 “protect the public from unnecessary harm caused by new technologies and produ
64、cts without hindering innovation”可知，在不妨碍创新的情况下保护公众免受新技术和新产品造成的不必要伤害，由此可知，保护和创新同等重要。故选D。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“most e-scooter users are probably unaware of the risks”可知，Dr. Joann Elmore认为大多数电动摩托车骑手很可能没有意识到危险。接下来，为了说明这一点，她对一张照片进行了描述。结合描述的内容可推知，她很担心电动摩托车骑手，故选C。 【30题详解】词义猜测题。根据上文提到的要建立监管和预防伤害的项目以及最后一段的内容可
65、知，此处说的是研究者和政策制定者所面临的挑战是紧跟瞬息万变的社会，保护大众免受新科技、新产品造成的不必要伤害的同时又不妨碍科技创新，hinder侧重指“to make it difficult for sb. to do sth. or sth. to happen”即“阻碍做某事”，此处说的是阻碍（限制）创新，而不是阻止创新，故排除A项。故选B。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“ Of the estimated 14,651 e-scooter-related injuries in 2018, 4,658, or 32%, involved the head. “While mo
66、st people recover from head injuries, there is going to be a subset with long-term disability and life changes ”可知，2018年与电动摩托车有关的受伤事故中，有32%的事故涉及头部受伤，多数伤员即使从头部伤害中恢复过来，也将遭受长期的残疾或在生活上发生改变，故作者写这篇文章旨在唤起人们的危险意识和自我保护意识。故选A项。【点睛】DOur ability to collect data gets far ahead of our ability to fully use it, yet
67、 data may hold the key to solving some of the biggest global challenges facing us today.Take, for instance, the frequent outbreaks of waterborne diseases as a consequence of war or natural disasters. The most recent example can be found in the country, where roughly 10,000 new suspected cases of cho
68、lera(霍乱) are reported each week and history is filled with similar stories. What if we could better understand the environmental factors that contributed to the disease, predict which communities are at higher risk, and put in place protective measures to stop the spread? Answers to this question an
69、d others like it could potentially help us prevent a catastrophe.As a big data scientist, I studied data from wide-ranging, public sources to identify patterns, hoping to predict trends that could be a threat to global security. Various data streams are important because the ground truth data (such
70、as surveys) is often delayed, limited, incorrect or, sometimes, nonexistent.For example, knowing the incidence(发生率) of mosquito-borne disease in communities would help us predict the risk of mosquito-spread disease such as dengue, the leading cause of illness and death in the tropics. However, mosqu
71、ito data at a global (and even national) level is not accessible.To address this gap, were using other sources such as satellite pictures, climate data and population information to forecast the risk of dengue. Specifically, we had success in predicting the spread of dengue in Brazil at the regional
72、, state and city level using these data streams as well as clinical observation data and online searchers that used terms related to the disease. While our predictions arent perfect, they show promise.Similarly, to forecast the flu season, we have found that online searches can complement(补充) clinic
73、al data. Because the rate of people searching the internet for flu symptoms often increases during their beginning, we can predict a sharp increase in cases where clinical data delays. All of this shows the potential of big data. The information is there; now its time to use it.32. What do the examp
74、les in paragraphs 2 and 4 show?A. Big data is still hard to get and use.B. People arent skilled at dealing with big data.C. Big data is not always an imagined method.D. Catastrophes might be prevented with big data.33. According to the text, survey data .A. is a main form of multiple data streamsB.

77、是一篇说明文。我们生活在大数据时代，搜集到的信息可能包含了我们现如今正在面临的全球性挑战的解决办法，有帮助我们阻止灾难发生的潜力。【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Answers to this question and others like it could potentially help us prevent a catastrophe.” 对这个问题和其他类似问题的回答可能会帮助我们防止灾难的发生。第二段的事例旨在说明如果有大数据，那么我们也许就可以预防重大灾难的发生；再根据第四段“knowing the incidence of mosquito-borne disease i
78、n communities would help us predict the risk of mosquito-spread disease such as dengue,” 了解社区中蚊子传播疾病的发病率将有助于我们预测登革热等蚊子传播疾病的风险，第四段的事例表明大数据能够帮助我们预测由蚊子传播的疾病的风险。这些均说明我们可以利用大数据预测这些疾病的发生率从而防止其大规模蔓延，即阻止这种灾难的发生。故选D项。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Various data streams are important because the ground truth data (such
79、as surveys) is often delayed, limited, incorrect or, sometimes, nonexistent.” 各种数据流很重要，因为地面真实数据(如调查)经常是延迟的、有限的、不正确的，有时甚至是不存在的。可知，调查数据有时候是不可靠的或者不可用的。故选C。【34题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线部分前面一段中的“However, mosquito data at a global (and even national) level is not accessible.”可知，目前还没有全球（甚至全国）规模的蚊子数据。再结合下文的弥补措施were usi
80、ng other sources such as satellite pictures, climate data and population information to forecast the risk of dengue. 可知，this gap指的就是有关蚊子的大数据的匮乏。故选A项。【35题详解】主旨大意题。文章第一段就是本文的中心段，第一段“Our ability to collect data gets far ahead of our ability to fully use it, yet data may hold the key to solving some of
81、the biggest global challenges facing us today.” 我们收集数据的能力远远超过我们充分利用数据的能力，但数据可能是解决我们今天面临的一些最大的全球挑战的关键。接下来作者举了一些例子来支撑自己的观点，作者说明了大数据的潜力，而且告诉我们信息就在那里，是时候使用它了。综合上述信息可知，本文主要围绕利用大数据来帮助我们应对一些现如今正在面临的全球性挑战展开，故选C项。第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Endangered speciesAn enda

121、词，heavy的副词是heavily，故填heavily。【64题详解】考查宾语从句。句意：专家说需要的是持续的关注和维护。空白处引导是say后的宾语从句，做say的宾语和is的主语，是双重成分。故填what。65题详解】考查名词。句意：Sneska，欧洲黑手党遗产组织的领导者，提到注意到这种尊重的重要性。该句子中the后面要用名词作定语，significant的名词是significance。故填 significance。第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节 （满分15分）66. 假如你是李华，你的美国网友Peter参加中国象棋网络挑战赛获得了一等奖。请根据以下提示写一封英文电子邮件

Im a registered nurse and I love kids and dogs. I wanted to use Bella to bring her joy, comfort and confidence the way only a dog can.
128、That morning in January, her teacher led us to a room by the school office. “Sally hasnt spoken outside her home in two years,” she told me. “Her parents have taken her to doctors, but nothing has worked.” A little girl stood shyly just inside the doorway. Her eyes brightened when noticing my dog.“T
129、his is Isabella Rose. I call her Bella,” I said. “Would you like to pet her? She doesnt know anyone here and shed like to meet you. She does tricks. Would you like to see?”Sally nodded. I motioned with my hand. Bella lay down and then rolled over. Sallys eyes cheered up. “Shell do it for you too,” I
130、 said. “I can teach you.”I showed Sally the hand signals for various commands. She was a natural with Bella. Soon Sally was able to take Bella at her pace all on her own. I could see her standing taller, more sure of herself each time we met.One morning, when she was working with Bella, I heard a ti
131、ny voice, barely a whisper: “Good dog.” Sally didnt take her eyes off Bella, but I wanted to jump for joy. Sally spoke a little more each week, only to Bella at first, but then to me. Later, she started giving voice commands with her hand signals and her confidence rose. Still, she hadnt spoken in h
132、er classroom.“Could you bring Bella to my class and show the other kids her tricks?” Sally asked me one day. An idea struck me. “Why dont you do it?” I said. “I know you can. Youre as good with Bella as I am.” Now, Sally stood nervously in front of her kindergarten class, with Bella sitting calmly b
133、y her side. Her classmates focused on Sally, waiting for her to speak.注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。Paragraph 1:But not a word came out._Paragraph 2:The next week, she told me she wanted to try again, looking up at me with determination._
134、【答案】Paragraph 1:But not a word came out. Sally had been so excited about putting on a dog show for her class. She had been quite familiar with the hand signals and had practiced for weeks. Now her eyes found mine. I nodded encouragingly. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth. Her mouth - then
135、her whole body - seemed to close in on itself in defeat. Sally stood off to the side, head down. I felt awful. Sally returned to her seat, not looking at anyone, not even Bella.Paragraph 2:The next week, she told me she wanted to try again, looking up at me with determination. “Are you sure?” I aske
136、d. “You dont want to wait till next year?” “No,” she said. “Today, I can do it.” Then we headed to Sallys classroom. The kids were sitting in a circle on the floor listening to the teacher. We walked to the front of the room. I shook Sallys hands and stepped back. For a few seconds, she stood silent
137、ly, staring at her classmates. Finally she whispered, “This is Isabella Rose.” Then, a little louder with more confidence, “Isabella Rose.”【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，Sally 是一个患有社交障碍、不敢在公共场合讲话的小女孩。当作为护士的“我”知道她的情况后，“我”让“我”训练的小狗Bella去带给她欢乐、安慰和自信，并帮助她走出社交障碍。【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：但是(她)没有说出一个字，由此可知，该段讲的
138、应是Sally在众人瞩目下的心理活动。她可能由于紧张、恐惧，最终没有勇气在同学们面前讲话。写作时可用到的关键词有Sally，Bella，the hand signals，classroom等。第二段的开头是：第二周，她坚定地抬头看着我，告诉我她想再试一次。显然接下来的内容可能是Sally的第二次努力：她虽然感到紧张、害怕，但最终在同学们面前开口说话了。写作时可用到的关键词有confidence，teacher，classroom，classmates等。【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：be familiar with，stood off，head down等高级词汇；现 在分词做状语The next week, she told me she wanted to try again, looking up at me with determination.等高级句式。全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。
