23、thusiastic about volunteering and began looking for volunteer opportunities that match her interests.（此前，Kajal在自己的祖国做了两年的志愿者，担任助理瑜伽老师。她对志愿者工作充满热情，并开始寻找符合自己兴趣的志愿者机会）”可知，Kajal在做志愿者方面是经验丰富的，故选A。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段的“Her role involved reviewing 44 in-depth applications from potential candidates across Lati
24、n America and the Caribbean for a four-week fellowship in the U.S.（她的任务是详尽地审查来自拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的44份潜在候选人申请，这些申请是为了参加为期四周的美国奖学金项目）”可知，Kajal在YLAI的工作包括了评估候选人的申请，故选B。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段的“Volunteering is a great opportunity to improve yourself, others, and the whole society.（志愿服务是一个提升自己、提升他人、提升整个社会的好机会）”可知，Kajal
25、认为志愿服务对个人和社会都有好处。故选D。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段的“Volunteering can be a great way to settle into a new community, meet people, and learn valuable skills.（志愿活动是一个很好的方式来适应一个新的社区，认识人，学习宝贵的技能）”以及最后一段的“Whether you recently moved to a new place or are looking to expand your influence on your current community, find
26、 a volunteer opportunity to empower yourself, and others.（无论你是最近搬到一个新地方，还是想要扩大你在当前社区的影响力，找一个志愿者的机会来增强你自己和其他人的能力）”可知，文章的目的是提出一个适应新环境的方法。故选C。CFor most business speakers, the necessary stage time, structure, and conscious editing to bring about maximum effect just arent there most people dont have to s
27、peak often enough to get it. Conversely, the speakers who deliver their talk most tend to be the best and most polished. They know where the laugh lines are, they know what phrasing works best, and they know their timing. Just like standup comedians.Standup comedy, at its basic principles, is a comb
28、ination of material (what you say) and delivery (how you say it). It is no different than typical speeches or presentations. TV slots (节目时间) for new comedians tend to be under five minutes, which forces them to continuously refine and refine again in order to achieve maximum effect from each word. C
29、onference organizers still tend to book speakers in 40-60 minute time slots but who, these days, has an hour to focus on one person?

As mentioned in Brain Rules, studies by noted educator Wilbert McKeachie
31、 demonstrate that “typically, attention increases from the beginning of the lecture to ten minutes into the lecture and decreases after that point.” This is why the organization for online talk TED has shortened its earlier 18-minute format.

32、ference and event producers havent got it right. Most speakers cant hold the attention of an audience for 40-60 minutes. Its something even the best standup comedians battle with. Yet business speakers seldom ask for a shorter slot. They should.8. What pushes new standup comedians to improve their p
33、resentations?A. The limited given time.B. The topic of their speeches.C. The audiences expectation.D. The place of their performance.9.

36、最佳效果所必需的演讲时间、结构和有意识的编辑都不存在大多数人不需要讲得足够多就能达到目的。相反，演讲最多的人往往是最好的、最文雅的。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“TV slots (节目时间) for new comedians tend to be under five minutes, which forces them to continuously refine and refine again in order to achieve maximum effect from each word.”可知，新喜剧演员的电视时段往往在5分钟以内，这迫使他们不断地提炼、提炼，以达到每个
37、词的最大效果。由此可知，有限的时间促使新的单口喜剧演员改进他们的表演。故选A。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据文中“Some of the best speeches in history have clocked in at less than 20 minutes. Abraham Lincolns Gettysburg Address was 272 words and lasted two minutes. Winston Churchills “Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat” speech was 688 words. The most powerful em
38、otional expression two humans can say to each other is just three words: “I,” “love,” and “care.”可知，历史上一些最好的演讲都不到20分钟。亚伯拉罕林肯的葛底斯堡演说只有272个字，持续了两分钟。温斯顿丘吉尔的演讲“热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水”长达688个字。两个人能对彼此说的最有力的情感表达就是三个字:“我”、“爱”和“关心”。由此可知，作者在文中提到了历史上最好的演讲是为了证明强有力的演讲可以是简短的。故选B。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Most people switch off a
39、t around the ten-minute mark. As mentioned in Brain Rules, studies by noted educator Wilbert McKeachie demonstrate that “typically, attention increases from the beginning of the lecture to ten minutes into the lecture and decreases after that point.” This is why the organization for online talk TED
40、has shortened its earlier 18-minute format.”可知，大多数人在10分钟左右就会停止。正如著名教育家威尔伯特麦基阿奇(Wilbert McKeachie)在大脑规则(Brain Rules)一书中提到的那样，他的研究表明，“通常情况下，注意力从讲座开始到讲座开始十分钟增加，之后就减少。”这就是为什么TED在线演讲组织缩短了之前的18分钟模式。由此可知，TED要重置时限是因为观众不能长时间集中注意力。故选B。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Its something even the best standup comedians battle w
41、ith. Yet business speakers seldom ask for a shorter slot. They should.”可知，这是最优秀的单口喜剧演员都要面对的问题。然而，商务人士很少要求一个更短的发言时间。他们应该。由此可知，商务人士被建议减少他们的演讲时间。故选A。DSocial distancing is not a new concept in the natural world, where infectious diseases are commonplace. Through specialized senses animals can detect cer
42、tain diseases and change their behavior to avoid getting ill.In 1966, while studying chimps (猩猩) in a Tanzanian national park, zoologist Jane Goodall observed a chimp named McGregor who had caught a highly infectious virus. His fellow chimps attacked him and threw him out of the troop. In one instan
43、ce, McGregor approached chimps in a tree. He reached out a hand in greeting, but the others moved away without a backward glance.“For a full two minutes, old McGregor sat motionless, staring after them,” Goodall notes in her 1971 book In the Shadow of Man. “Its really not that different to how some
44、societies react today to such a tragedy.”Not all animals are so aggressive toward their ailing neighbors. Sometimes its as simple as avoiding those who may infect you.When Kiesecker a lead scientist in America, studied American bullfrog in the late 1990s, he found that bullfrogs could not only detec
45、t a deadly smell of infection in other bullfrogs, but healthy members actively avoided those that were sick. Bullfrogs rely on chemicals signals to determine who is sick or not.Caribbean lobsters also shun diseased members of their community, well before they become infectious. It takes about eight
46、weeks for lobsters infected with the deadly virus Panulirus argus mininuceovirus to become dangerous to others. Normally social animals, lobsters begin keeping away from the diseased as early as four weeks after infection once the lobsters can smell certain chemicals released by sick individuals.Ove
47、rall, its important to note that, unlike us, animals dont realize if they stay home, they might actually reduce the infection rate,” Kiesecker explains. “As humans, we have that ability. Its a big difference.”12. What can we learn about the chimps from Goodalls observation?A. They kept a distance fr
48、om one another.B. They became aggressive when infected.C. The infected avoided contact with others.D. The infected were forced to leave the group.13. What does the underlined word “shun” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Avoid.B. Cure.C. Get rid of.D. Get along with.14. How are humans different from a
49、nimals according to Kiesecker?A. Humans are more sensitive to virus.B. Humans are less likely to get infected.C. Humans treat infectious diseases in a wiser way.D. Humans can detect chemical signals more quickly.15. Which might be the best title for the text?A. Help Me OutB. Leave Me AloneC. Stay Aw
50、ay From UsD. Stay Home Stay Healthy【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C【解析】本文是说明文，动物和人类一样，在有传染疾病时和同类保持距离，但是人类的应对方法更明智。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“His fellow chimps attacked him and threw him out of the troop.” 他的猩猩同伴袭击了他，把他赶出了猩猩群。可知受到感染的猩猩被迫离开了群体，故选D项。【13题详解】词义猜测题。根据前一段“he found that bullfrogs could not only detect a
51、 deadly smell of infection in other bullfrogs, but healthy members actively avoided those that were sick.” （他发现，牛蛙不仅能嗅出其他牛蛙身上致命的感染气味，而且健康的牛蛙还会积极地避开那些生病的牛蛙)。划线部分所在的句子“Caribbean lobsters also shun diseased members of their community,”出现了also，可知加勒比海的龙虾也像牛蛙一样避开得病的成员，故shun和avoid同义。故选A项。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一
52、段“its important to note that, unlike us, animals dont realize if they stay home, they might actually reduce the infection rate,” Kiesecker explains. “As humans, we have that ability. Its a big difference” (值得注意的是，动物不像我们，它们没有意识到如果它们呆在家里，它们实际上可能会降低感染率，”Kiesecker解释道。“作为人类，我们有这种能力。这是一个很大的区别。)可知，从Kieseck
53、er说的话可推断，人类和动物的不同之处在于人类对待传染病的方法更明智。故选C项。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Social distancing is not a new concept in the natural world, where infectious diseases are commonplace.” (在传染病司空见惯的自然世界中，保持社交距离并不是一个新概念。)以及文章第一段提到了关键词Social distancing(保持社交距离)，即离我们远一点，故C项“远离我们”为最佳标题。故选C项。第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分）阅读下面短
54、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。Most people dont change. They just become more the way they already are.

60、ikely to paint themselves as victims but never recognize their own problems.【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. A 20. F【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了大多数人不改变的原因。【详解】1.根据上文“While there are exceptions, most people find change difficult for several reasons.”（虽然也有例外，但大多数人觉得改变很困难，原因有几个。）可知，接下来要描述的是具体的原因。另根据下文段落开头“Then there
61、 is .”及“Finally, most people.”可知，此处为第一个原因。选项C.“They dont know themselves very well, to begin with.”（首先，他们不太了解自己），“to begin with”和下文的“Then”“Finally”构成顺序上的衔接。故选C。2.根据上文“Most people want to believe theyre well-balanced and even outstanding in many ways.”（大多数人想要相信他们很平衡，甚至在很多方面都很出色。）可知，很多人觉得他们很出色，所以接下来的描
62、写，要承接上文描述这些觉得自己很出色的人会如何作为。选项D.“They all want to think of themselves as special and gifted.”（他们都认为自己很特别，很有天赋。）和前文的意思保持一致，符合文意。故选D。3.根据上文“Then there is the human tendency to explain ones difficulties, short-comings and failures by blaming somebody else. You may find many people around you blame their
63、poor performance on others.”（然后，人类倾向于通过指责别人来解释自己的困难、缺点和失败。你可能会发现你周围的许多人把他们的糟糕表现归咎于别人。）可知，此处内容要承接上文，讲述这些把自己的糟糕表现归咎于他人的人的其他行为表现。选项G.“They are likely to paint themselves as victims but never recognize their own problems.”（他们很可能把自己描绘成受害者，却从来没有意识到自己的问题。）与前文的意思一致。故选G。4.根据上文“ Even when you have learned eno
64、ugh about your true nature, you then need to do something about it.”（即使你已经充分了解了自己的本性，你还是需要做点什么。）下文“Meanwhile, the reality can be really discouraging: you do much hard work but the results are never the sort of ideal change youre looking for.”（与此同时，现实可能真的令人沮丧： 你做了很多艰苦的工作，但结果从来不是你想要的那种理想的改变。）可推知，空白处表述
65、的是你一遍遍的做着很多的努力工作。选项A.“And you need to do that over and over again.”（你需要一次又一次地这样做）和文意相符，选项中的“ do that over and over again”对应下文中的“do much hard work”。故选A。5.根据上文“No matter how difficult it is, you still need to find your own way to change.”（不管有多困难，你还是需要找到自己的方式去改变。）可以推知，接下来描述的是你通过什么方式来改变。选项F.“You can rev
66、iew the past and make a list of the ways in which you havent changed.”（你可以回顾过去，列出你没有改变的地方。）符合文意。故选F。第二部分 语言运用（共两节, 满分 30 分）第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分, 满分 15 分）阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空格处的最佳选项。Theres a lot that can be conveyed in a handshake.

Chen says that it was really_37_(stress) when she first met staff members from the department store to propose her ideas for displaying her work in shop wind
84、ows. “They seemed very strict_38_ that made me nervous,” she recalls. “I kept telling_39_(I) just to show them the real me.” When_40_ (ask) about her opinion of Chinese culture, she said “it can be_41_(true) magnificent like the Palace Museum, but it can also be as simple as_42_ I drew as a Chinese
85、girl”.After her presentation she won the opportunity_43_(exhibit) her work, which turned out to be_44_ great success. The young Chinese artists fresh design enjoyed great_45_(popular) in the old Italian store.【答案】36. were/are combined 37. stressful 38. and 39. myself 40. asked 41. truly 42. what 43.
86、 to exhibit 44. a 45. popularity【解析】【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。一位中国女孩的画作在意大利米兰的La Rinascente百货商店展出并且大受欢迎。【详解】1.考查被动语态。句意：这幅作品融合了东西方的元素。动词combine意为“使结合”，和主语Elements（元素）构成被动关系。展览是发生在过去，但是作品融合了东西方的元素是现在也存在的事情，所以用一般过去时和一般现在时都可以，且主语Elements为复数。故填were/are combined。2.考查形容词。句意：陈说，当她第一次见到百货公司的工作人员，向他们提出在商店橱窗展示自己作品的想法时，她感到
87、非常有压力。作表语应用形容词，且主语是it，指代的是事情，所以应用形容词stressful，意为“有压力的”，故填stressful。3.考查连词。句意：他们似乎很严格，这让我很紧张。句子They seemed very strict和句子that made me nervous属于并列关系，所以应用and连接。故填and。4.考查反身代词。句意：我一直告诫自己，让他们看到真实的我。主语和宾语都是“我”，所以此处应用反身代词。故填myself。5.考查省略句。句意：当被问及她对中国文化的看法时，她说:“它可以真的像故宫一样宏伟，但它也可以像我作为一个中国女孩画的那样简单。当状语从句和主句的主语
88、相同时，可以省略从句的主语和be动词。此处从句若不省略，动词ask（询问）和主语she构成被动关系，且根据she said可知，此处为一般过去时，则从句应为When she was asked about her opinion of Chinese culture，省略主语和be动词后，为When asked about her opinion of Chinese culture。故填asked。6.考查副词。句意：当被问及她对中国文化的看法时，她说:“它可以真的像故宫一样宏伟，但它也可以像我作为一个中国女孩画的那样简单。修饰形容词magnificent（宏伟的）应用副词。副词truly意
89、为“真地”，故填truly。7.考查名词性从句。句意：当被问及她对中国文化的看法时，她说:“它可以真的像故宫一样宏伟，但它也可以像我作为一个中国女孩画的那样简单。介词as后“.I drew as a Chinese girl”为宾语从句，宾语从句中缺少动词drew（绘画）的宾语，代指画，所以应用what。故填what。8.考查to do不定式。句意：在她的展示之后，她赢得了展示自己作品的机会，这是一个巨大的成功。修饰抽象名词opportunity应用to do不定式。故填to exhibit。9.考查冠词。句意：在她的展示之后，她赢得了展示自己作品的机会，这是一个巨大的成功。which代指前文
90、提到的“展示她的作品”，这是一件成功的事。success意为“成功的人或事”时，为可数名词，且开头发音为辅音。故填a。10.考查名词。句意：这位年轻的中国艺术家的新设计在这家古老的意大利商店里广受欢迎。动词enjoy（享受）之后应用名词，根据前文讲“这是一个巨大的成功”可知，此处是指大受欢迎，应用enjoy popularity表示。故填popularity。第三部分 写作（共两节, 满分 40 分）第一节（满分 15 分）46. 假定你是你校英语诗社的负责人。请你写一则启事，发布到学校英文小报，介绍诗社并欢迎大家加入，内容包括：1. 诗社成立的时间和目的；2. 诗社日常活动.注意:1. 写作
