19、ay, May 25, 2020 Closed All Day(阵亡将士纪念日:2020年5月25日星期一全天闭馆)可知,2020年5月25日不能去图书馆;根据“Independence Day: Saturday, July 4, 2020 Closed All Day(独立日:2020年7月4日星期六全天关闭)”和 Hours中Sunday: Closed(芝加哥图书馆周日闭馆)可知,2020年7月5周日芝加哥图书馆闭馆,不能去图书馆;根据“Thanksgiving: Thursday, November 26, 2020 Closed All Day(感恩节:2020年11月26日星期四
20、全天闭馆)”可知,2020年11月26日不能去图书馆看书;根据“All Staff Institute Day: Thursday, April 30, 2020 Closed All Day(All Staff Institute日:2020年4月30日星期四全天休息)可知,2020年4月29日是周三,图书馆开放,再结合“Wednesday: 10:00 AM 6:00 PM”可知,周三图书馆开放时间是上午10点到下午6点,所以2020年4月29日11点可以去芝加哥图书管看书。故选A。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据Design Challenge Day中“ Prizes will be aw
21、arded for most creative.(最有创造力的人将获得奖品。)”可知,Design Challenge Day活动会提供奖品。故选B。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据常识判断,选项A People can still return books when the library closes.(当图书馆关门时,人们仍然可以还书。)错误;根据 Facilities中“Bike rack; Computers; Meeting room; Parking lot; Scanner; WiFi”可知,图书馆提供自行车架;电脑;会议室;停车场;扫描仪;WiFi,所以选项B错误;根据 New

23、virus exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.But still, the change from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was jarring. “I only have three y
24、ears here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,” Chen said.The coronavirus has upended everyones lives, but for students, the disruption feels particularly acute. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled. Summer plans, like camps and internships, are up in the air.
25、But right now, many students are trying to stay connected, struggling with misinformation, and figuring out the best ways they can help through online method.For Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia, the best way to contribute was to create a “social distancing pl
26、edge” for young people.“I saw a lot of younger generations not paying attention,” he said. “They were still going out, hanging out with people. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger folks, who were probably not watching the news.”Harycki launched a call to action on social media and
27、then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people whod signed the pledge. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Harycki knows that his peers are worried they cant connect with their friends in the same
28、way, so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant, theyre still connected.“Part of what were highlighting is that you might feel like youre the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that youre not alone,” he said.4. What do the unde
29、rlined words “up in the air” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. unnaturalB. uncertainC. unnecessaryD. unreasonable5. Why does the author describe Andrew Chens experience in the text?A. To show how the coronavirus affected students lives.B. To explain what worried students most when schools closed.C. To
30、 illustrate the appropriate reaction to the closure of school.D. To present the different views of students toward the coronavirus.6. Who does Harycki mainly want to reach out to?A.

31、e to society.D. Young people who are not aware of the situation.7. Whats Haryckis purpose in creating the “social distancing pledge”?A. To track those people infected with the coronavirus.B. To convince young people to stay at home.C To inform young folks of latest news about the coronavirus.D. To s
32、how young people they shouldnt be concerned about the coronavirus.【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B【解析】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述在新冠病毒期间,学生在家自学,学生Harycki建立网站努力保持学生们相互联系,消除同龄人担心他们不能与朋友联系的担忧,向同龄人传递虽然每个人可能在身体距离上是遥远的,但他们仍然是联系在一起的。【4题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线短语前一句“Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled. ”可知,因为学校关闭,毕业典礼也被取消
33、。由此可推知,划线短语所在句表示,夏令营和实习之类暑期计划都悬而未决。所以划线短语 “up in the air” 的意思是不确定的,和uncertain“不确定的”意思相近。故选B。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.(16岁的大二学生安德鲁 陈知道事情不会像一些同龄人所希望的那样迅速恢复正常。)”和第二段的“I only have three y
34、ears here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,” Chen said.( 陈说:“我在南方只有三年的时间,其中一年被浪费让我很痛苦。) 结合下文“The coronavirus has changed everyones lives, but for students, the disruption feels particularly serious. ( 冠状病毒改变了每个人的生活,但对学生来说,这种破坏感觉特别严重。)”可推断,作者描述安德鲁陈的经历是为了说明冠状病毒如何影响学生的生活。故选A。【6
35、题详解】细节理解题。根据第六段的“I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger folks, who were probably not watching the news. ( 我想应该有办法联系到年轻人,他们可能不看新闻。) ”可知,Harycki想要联系没有意识到这种情况的年轻人。故选D。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Harycki knows that his peers are worried they cant connect with their friends in the same way, so he
36、created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant, theyre still connected.”可知,Harycki知道他的同龄人担心他们不能以同样的方式与朋友联系,所以他创建了“social distancing pledge”来强调虽然每个人可能在物理距离上都很遥远,但他们仍然保持联系。由此可知,Harycki创建“social distancing pledge”的目的是说服年轻人待在家里,即使他们和朋友不在一起,也是有联系的。故选B。CInst
37、agram is about to take its biggest step toward removing likes from its platform. After months of testing an option to hide likes in select international markets, Instagram, which is owned by Facebook (FB), has already been testing hiding likes in seven other countries, including Canada, Ireland and
38、Australia. For years, likes have been central to how celebrities, brands, politicians and everyday users experience Instagram and Facebook. Its a way of measuring popularity and success. But in recent months, Instagram has been rethinking how likes contribute to making its platform more toxic. Now i
39、ts considering a change.The total number of likes on posts which appear as hearts on the app will disappear from Instagrams main feed, profile pages and permalink pages. The owner of the account can still see their own likes, but their followers wont know the count.CNN Business previously spoke with
40、 users in countries with the test. The majority felt this move would improve well-being on the app. Instagram is the most detrimental social networking app for young peoples mental health, such as negatively impacting body image, according to one study.But other users and psychologists said hiding l

D【解析】本文为说明文。Instagram即将迈出最大的一步,从它的平台上移除“点赞”。因为“点赞”让平台变得更“有毒”的,几个月来 Instagram一直尝试在一些国际市场隐藏“点赞”功能。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“For years, likes have been central to how celebrities, brands, politicians and everyday users experience Instagram and Fa
46、cebook.” 多年来,“点赞”一直是名人、品牌商、政客和普通用户体验Instagram和Facebook的核心。由此可知,体验Instagram是通过点赞的形式,故选D。【9题详解】词义猜测题。根据第三段“The majority felt this move would improve well-being on the app.”可知,大多数人认为移除点赞可以改善在这个应用上的舒适度。划线单词所在句子“Instagram is the most detrimental social networking app for young peoples mental health, such
47、 as negatively impacting body image, according to one study.”可知,Instagram对年轻人的心理健康最有影响的一种社交网络应用,比如能消极地影响一个人的身体形象,结合两句话可知,Instagram目前是有消极影响,能让用户产生不舒适感的社交网络,detrimental是来形容Instagram的特点的,应该是消极方面的词义,结合选项,只有选项C“有害的”,符合文意,故选C。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“Instagram is the most detrimental social networking app for y
48、oung peoples mental health, such as negatively impacting body image, according to one study.”可知,根据研究表明,Instagram是对年轻人的心理健康最有害的一种社交网络应用,比如对身体形象产生负面影响。由此可推断出Instagram影响了青少年的心理健康。故选A。【11题详解】主旨大意题。本文第一段叙述了Instagram即将迈出最大的一步,从它的平台上移除“点赞”。几个月来 Instagram一直在尝试在一些国际市场隐藏“点赞”功能。接着下文具体分析了“点赞”造成的不好的影响,所以要在Instag

When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion.
50、 As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.After the explosion gravity pulls in whats left of the star.

Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. I
54、n other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a “white hole” in a different universe. As the black hole swallows light, the white hole shines brightly-somewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time-many years in the past or future.Could you travel through a b
55、lack hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed. So far the time being, black holes must remain a mystery.Black holes are a mystery-but that hasnt stopped scientists from dreaming about them.

60、析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了黑洞形成的原因和经过。【12题详解】细节理解题。文章第一、二、三段提到,当一个星体的大部分能量耗尽,它就开始走向衰落死亡,首先是爆炸,由于爆炸,外层物质被抛散到太空中,并且发出非常耀眼的光线,然后它会慢慢向中心塌陷变小。因此,当一个星体死亡时,它会发生爆炸并变得更小。故选C。【13题详解】细节理解题。从第四段The more the star shrinks, the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it
61、 in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! 可以看出由于引力的加大,形体不断收缩,变得很小,引力大到难以置信,光都被拉入到星体内部,因此A、B、C都是黑洞形成的因素之一,根据The star becomes black when there is no light.一句可知D选项错误。故选D。【14题详解】推理判断题。从文章可知,星体燃烧的大部分能量之后,就开始死亡,并首先产生爆炸,故A正确。B的前半句正确,但黑洞能吞噬一切的原因是因为
62、密度大,引力大,而不是因为黑洞一直在变小。C错误,因为文章只说目前穿越黑洞不可能,没有说永远不可能,而且我们也还不能利用黑洞的能力。D答案只是科学家的猜测,并不属实,而且句子本身也有错误,不是黑洞跑去了另一个宇宙,成为白洞,而是有可能在这个宇宙产生一个黑洞,相应的可能在另一个宇宙就会出现一个相反的白洞。故选A。【15题详解】主旨大意题。文章的首句和全文都可以看出,文章主要内容是黑洞是如何形成的。选项B. How Do Black Holes Come into Being?(黑洞是怎样形成的?)为最佳标题。故选B。【点睛】推断判断题就是推断隐含意义,根据文章的某个句子、段落或全文所提供的事实进
63、行逻辑推理,推断出作者没有提到、没有明说或者可能发生的事实。推理判断题的题干特点:推断隐含意义的题干中常含infer(推断),suggest(暗示),imply(暗示),indicate(暗示),conclude(推断,得出结论)等词语。常见的题干形式如下:Wecanknowfromthepassagethat.;Wecaninferfromthe(first/last)passagethat.;Thepassage/authorimplies/suggeststhat.;Itcanbeconcludedfromthepassagethat.;Theunderlinedsentenceindi
64、catesthat.等等,它的主要解题方法就是找到推理的依据,然后理解相关信息点的字面意义,最后结合语境和常识,在字面意义的基础上进行符合逻辑的推断,从而得到作者的言外之意。如第3小题,从文章可知,星体燃烧的大部分能量之后,就开始死亡,并首先产生爆炸,故A正确。B的前半句正确,但黑洞能吞噬一切的原因是因为密度大,引力大,而不是因为黑洞一直在变小。C错误,因为文章只说目前穿越黑洞不可能,没有说永远不可能,而且我们也还不能利用黑洞的能力。D答案只是科学家的猜测,并不属实,而且句子本身也有错误,不是黑洞跑去了另一个宇宙,成为白洞,而是有可能在这个宇宙产生一个黑洞,相应的可能在另一个宇宙就会出现一个相
65、反的白洞。故选A。第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What do babies, puppies and cartoon characters have in common? _16_Cute animals and babies attract our attention and make us want to take care of them, which gives them an evolutionary advantage, according to Austrian zoologist

69、. This even works when we see things that remind us of a baby.B. The science behind cuteness is still unclear.C. Human babies are a good example.D. However, babies get less cute as they get older.E. A large round head, large eyes, and soft skin are just some of these features.F. But their cuteness d
70、oes make us like them and want to take care of them.G. The answer is that they all look cute.【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. E 20. F【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了婴儿及带有婴儿特征的物品引起人们喜爱之情的原因。【16题详解】根据上文“What do babies, puppies and cartoon characters have in common?” 可知婴儿、小狗和卡通人物有什么共同之处?由此可知,上文提出问题,本句应当是回答上文的提问。故G选项“答案是它
71、们看起来都很可爱。”符合上下文语境,故选G。【17题详解】结合后文 “When we look at babies, we are attracted to certain facial features. These features make us want to take care of them so they can grow up healthily and pass their genes on to the next generation.” 可知当我们观察婴儿时,我们会被某些面部特征所吸引。这些特征使我们想要照顾他们,这样他们才能健康成长,并把他们的基因传递给下一代。由此可知
72、,本段是在以人类婴儿为例子,说明人类为什么喜欢照顾婴儿。故 C选项“人类婴儿就是一个很好的例子。”符合上下文语境,故选C。【18题详解】根据上文“Childlike characteristics make babies sweet and lead us to build close ties with them.” 可知孩子般的性格使婴儿变得可爱,并使我们与他们建立起密切的联系。由此可知,孩子般的性格使婴儿变得可爱,并且这会使我们与他们建立起联系,这种联系意味着当我们看到能想起婴儿的东西时,也会产生一样的感觉。故A选项“当我们看到让我们想起婴儿的东西时,这甚至也会起作用。”符合上下文语境,
73、故选A。【19题详解】结合上文“There are several features that can cause this feeling.” 可知有几个特征可以引起这种感觉。由此可知,本句承接上文开始列举有哪些特征。上文“features” 可对应到E选项中“some of these features”。故E选项“圆圆的大脑袋、大眼睛和柔软的皮肤只是这些特征中的一部分。”符合上下文语境,故选E。【20题详解】结合后文“Cute cartoon characters become popular this way, and baby animals are more likely to b
74、e cared for properly.” 可知可爱的卡通人物通过这种方式变得流行起来,小动物也更容易得到妥善的照顾。由此可知,人类因为卡通人物和小动物的可爱,所以也会喜欢和想要照顾他们。上文中“baby animals” 和“cartoon characters” 对应到F选项中“take care of them” 。故F选项“但是他们的可爱让我们喜欢他们,想要照顾他们。”符合上下文语境,故选F。第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节 (共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Inspir

C【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的记叙文。通过记叙Okorafor一次生病的经历和作者看电影想创作音乐的经历来说明灵感的来源。它来源于任何事物的启发,当它来临的时候,你只需要去接受它就可以了。【21题详解】考查动词辨析。句意:你永远不知道它什么时候会侯然出现。A. work工作;B. hit偶然出现;C. exist存在;D. pass经过。根据下文“when it hits.”可知,你永远不知道它什么时候会来。故选B。【22题详解】考查形容词辨析。句意:有时候它会来自于最无法预料的地方。A. interesting有趣的;B. ordinary普通的;C. unexpected无法
84、预料的;D. dangerous危险的。根据前句你永远都不会知道它什么时候来,说明即便它出现,也是无法预料的。故选C。【23题详解】考查动词辨析。句意:Okorafor被告知一个简单的手术即可治愈它。A. fix修复,治愈;B. make制造C. get得到;D. control控制。既然是手术治疗operation,那么治愈的单词只有fix合适。故选A。【24题详解】考查名词辨析。句意:但当她从手术中醒过来时,她发现她无法移动她的腿,而且很疼。A. dream梦想;B. shock震惊;C. recovery恢复;D. operation手术。根据上文提到的operation可知这里应该是进
85、行手术后醒过来了。故选D。【25题详解】考查形容词辨析。句意:后来Okorafor感觉好多了。A. well好的;B. bad坏的;C. worried担忧的;D. annoyed令人恼怒的。她担心的是她的病痛,而后面描述的她想象的事物让她减轻了痛苦。后来Okorafor感觉好多了。故选A。【26题详解】考查名词辨析。句意:她想象她的病痛就像野兽从阴影处追赶她一样。A. curiosity好奇心;B. pain痛苦;C. anger生气;D. fear惊恐。这里的病痛选项来自于第9空后面的pain。她想象她的病痛就像野兽从阴影处追赶她一样。故选B。【27题详解】考查动词辨析。句意:但她也想象出
86、一个女人,事实上一个会飞的女人。A. asked询问;B. met遇见;C. imagined想象;D. visited参观,拜访。这里选imagined是因为上文中第6空前出现了imagined,但她也想象出一个女人,事实上一个会飞的女人。故选C。【28题详解】考查形容词辨析。句意:这个具有魔力的女人给她灵感帮助她忘记痛苦。A. confident自信的;B. smart聪明的;C. honest诚实的;D. magical魔幻的。神奇的。这个作者想象中的女人会飞,故具有某种魔力。故选D。【29题详解】考查动词的辨析。句意:这个具有魔力的女人给她灵感帮助她忘记痛苦。A. forget忘记;B

106、 dust【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了尼尔阿姆斯特朗登上月球,成为第一个在月球上行走的人。【详解】第一处:考查介词。句意:1969年7月20日,他创造了历史。在具体的某一天,前加介词on。故在July前加on。第二处:考查时态。句意:当阿姆斯特朗踏上月球时,他说,“这是一个人的一小步,是人类的一大步。”根据文章时态可知,陈述过去事情,用一般过去时。故将step改为stepped。第三处:考查数词。句意:数百万人在电视上观看了这一令人惊叹的事件。million前无数词,表示模糊的数量时,后面加s且后接介词of。故将Million改为Millions。第四处:考查形容词。句意:
107、数百万人在电视上观看了这一令人惊叹的事件。修饰名词event,前用形容词形式。故将amazingly改为amazing。第五处:考查冠词。句意:那天晚上抬头看月亮,知道有个人在月亮上行走,这真是一件令人敬畏的事! awesome以元音发音开头,所以前用不定冠词an。故将a改为an。第六处:考查短语。句意:那天晚上抬头看月亮,知道有个人在月亮上行走,这真是一件令人敬畏的事! look up at抬头看,后接宾语the moon ,所以代词it多余。故删掉it。第七处:考查宾语从句。句意:多年来,人们一直想知道是否有月球生物生活在那里。动词wonder后接宾语从句,从句表示一种疑问,用连接词if或
108、whether。故将that改为if/whether。第八处:考查非谓语动词。句意:多年来,人们一直想知道是否有月球生物生活在那里。名词creatures与live之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作定语。故将lived改为living。第九处:考查主谓一致。句意:但阿姆斯特朗发现的唯一东西是月球岩石和月球尘埃。定语从句中先行词为复数名词things,所以从句中谓语动词应用复数形式。故将was改为were。第十处:考查名词。句意:但阿姆斯特朗发现的唯一东西是月球岩石和月球尘埃。这里应用名词与名词rocks并列在句中作表语,且名词dust为不可数名词。故将dusty改为dust。第二节 书面表达(满
