23、he Amazon (亚马逊) with my wife, who was there as a medical researcher. We flew on a small plane to a faraway village. We did not speak the local language, did not know the customs, and more often than not, did not entirely recognize the food. We could not have felt more foreign.We were raised on books
24、 and computers, highways and cell phones, but now we were living in a village without running water or electricity It was easy for us to go to sleep at the end of the day feeling a little misunderstood.Then one perfect Amazonian evening, with monkeys calling from beyond the village green, we played
25、soccer. I am not good at soccer, but that evening it was wonderful. Everyone knew the rules. We all spoke the same language of passes and shots. We understood one another perfectly. As darkness came over the field and the match ended, the goal keeper, Juan, walked over to me and said in a matter-of-
26、fact way, “In your home, do you have a moon too?” I was surprised.After I explained to Juan that yes, we did have a moon and yes, it was very similar to his, I felt a sort of awe (敬畏) at the possibilities that existed in his world. In Juans world, each village could have its own moon. In Juans world
27、. the unknown and undiscovered was vast and marvelous. Anything was possible.In our society, we know that Earth has only one moon. We have looked at our planet from every angle and found all of the wildest things left to find. I can, from my computer at home, pull up satellite images of Juans villag
28、e. There are no more continents and no more moons to search for, little left to discover. At least it seems that way.Yet, as I thought about Juans question, I was not sure how much more we could really rule out. I am, in part, an ant biologist, so my thoughts turned to what we know about insect life
29、 and I knew that much in the world of insects remains unknown. How much, though? How ignorant (无知的) are we? The question of what we know and do not know constantly bothered me.I began collecting newspaper articles about new species, new monkey, new spider, and on and on they appear. My drawer quickl
30、y filled. I began a second drawer for more general discoveries: new cave system discovered with dozens of nameless species, four hundred species of bacteria found in the human stomach. The second drawer began to fill and as it did I wondered whether there were bigger discoveries out there, not just
31、species, but life that depends on things thought to be useless, life even without DNA. I started a third drawer for these big discoveries. It fills more slowly, but all the same, it fills.In looking into the stories of biological discovery, I also began to find something else, a collection of scient
32、ists, usually brilliant occasionally half-mad, who made the discoveries. Those scientists very often see the same things that other scientists see, but they pay more attention to them, and they focus on them to the point of exhaustion (穷尽), and at the risk of the ridicule of their peers. In looking
33、for the stories of discovery, I found the stories of these people and how their lives changed our view of the world.We are repeatedly willing to imagine we have found most of what is left to discover. We used to think that insects were the smallest organisms (生物), and that nothing lived deeper than
34、six hundred meters. Yet, when something new turns up, more often than not, we do not even know its name.65. How did the author feel on his arrival in the Amazon?A. Out of place.B. Full of joy.C.

39、he local language, did not know the customs and more often than not, didnt entirely recognize the food.

42、了。我开始用第二个抽屉来储存更普遍的发现:在新的洞穴系统发现了几十个无名的物种我还为这些重大发现准备了第三个抽屉。由此判断，作者收集报纸文章的初始目的是为了分类我们所知道的事情。故选A项。69.D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“but they pay more attention to them ,and they focus on them to the point of exhaustion ,and at the risk of the ridicule of their peers.”可知，但他们更多地关注这些发现，他们把注意力集中在这些发现上直到精疲力竭的地步，冒着被同龄人嘲笑的风险。
43、由此可知，杰出的科学家进行深入细致的研究，做出重大的发现。故选D项。70.B主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者和妻子来到了亚马逊。一踏上这里，作者感到非常不适应，通过与当地人的接触，作者了解到一些人对外部的世界并不了解。在对这里的风土人情和多样化生物的研究过程中，作者提高了认识，意识到很多东西是人类已知的，还有很多是人类未知的。所以短文的最佳标题为“已知和未知的事物”。故选B项。【固重难词】1. bacteria n. 微 细菌2. biological adj. 生物的；生物学的3. occasionally adv. 偶尔；间或4. exhaustion n. 枯竭；耗尽；精疲力竭5. rid

50、akes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, I dont know, but I want to know.”Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise
51、their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀) about themselves.“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “

55、猜测题。根据第二段“Im here to tell you today why you should should” Chris trips on the “-ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers.以及后文except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well.可知，Chris发ld比较困难，这对于英语不是母语的学习者来说都是一个困难，总体来说Chris做得出奇的好。根据前文可知，ld发音困难，故推知是有些结巴，停顿不准确，故选A。23推理
56、判断题。根据倒数第二段Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast about themselves.以及最后一段“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confid
57、ent.”可知，这个课程不仅仅教孩子阅读以及公共演讲，还要让孩子学会夸耀自己，而夸耀自己对于那些进入教室没有信心的学生来说很困难，故可知Whaley老师这么做是为了帮助学生认识自己的优势，培养自信，故选A。24推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president.和最后一段He
58、 wants these kids to learn to boast about themselves.可知，当他有一天问学生认为自己当不了总统请举手的时候，想到了一个想法，这个课程就是帮助学生树立自己的信心，故可以看出这位老师很关心学生的成长。A. Humorous幽默的；B. Ambitious有雄心壮志的；C. Caring关心的；D.

70、disguised as a complaint, such as： Im having such a stressful day. I got two job offers and I dont know what to do.”This is a typical example of humblebragging, a term coined by comedic writer Harris Wittels referring to “ a specific type of boast that allows the offender to broadcast their achievem
71、ents without the necessary shame and guilt that should normally accompany such claims.” In simpler terms, its a way to disguise a boast with some humility. Humblebragging comes in two different forms. The first is humility-based, an example being, cant believe I got the highest grade in my class”. T
72、he second type comes mixed with a bit of complaint, for example, I cant believe that shopkeeper asked me for IDIm 25 !”People dont like when others humblebrag because they find they are lacking in sincerity. Sincerity is a critical dimension of social evaluation, which is viewed as fundamental to pe
73、oples identity. In fact, people prize sincerity even above competence and warmth in others, according to Dr. Sezer.If humblebragging doesnt work, and no one likes it, why do we still do it? We all want to highlight our positive qualities without seeming proud. By speaking in a complaint or an expres
74、sion of humility, we hope well somehow land on the “ sweet spot of self-presentation ： promoting ourselves while also conveying likability. In addition, research suggests that people may experience positive emotions while humblebragging.Considering that were all likely to feel the urge to humblebrag
75、, at least to some extent, the proper response when we hear a friend doing it may be to simply let it go-because ultimately were going to do it ourselves, and who really wants to be called out on it?1Which of the following remarks is an example of humblebragging?AHow I hate hearing my voice on TV!BI
76、m thrilled to be awarded the first prize.CIm the only person to get promoted in the firm.DHow I dislike doing the same thing every day!2Which can best describe peoples impression of humblebraggers?AHonest.

77、 their complaints.CTo improve their moral qualities.DTo show off without bringing annoyance.4What are people advised to do when hearing humblebragging from a friend?AFollow it up. BLeave it alone.CTurn against it. DGet to the root of it.【答案】1A2C3D4B【分析】本文是说明文。本文主要讲述了生活中可能遇到的谦虚地自夸的人的特征，及他们这么做的原因，并就遇到
78、这些人提出了应对方法。1推理判断题。根据第一段的“Youve likely encountered the humblebrag beforeboasting(吹嘘) disguised as a complaint(你可能以前遇到过把吹嘘伪装成抱怨的人)”可知，humblebrag是指以抱怨的口气来吹嘘。再结合选项可知，A项“我多么讨厌在电视上听到我自己的声音啊”符合题意。故选A。2细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“People dont like when others humblebrag because they find they are lacking in sincerity.( 人
79、们不喜欢别人以看似谦虚的方式自夸，因为他们发现他们缺乏诚意。) ”可知，人们不喜欢别人谦虚地自夸，因为他们发现他们缺乏真诚。由此可知，谦虚地自夸的人给人的印象是不真诚的。故选C。3推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“We all want to highlight our positive qualities without seeming proud.(我们都想突出我们的积极品质，而不显得骄傲。) ”可知，我们都想要强调我们积极的品质，而看起来却不骄傲。由此推知，人们谦虚地自夸是为了不令人厌烦的炫耀自己。故选D。4细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Considering that were all li
80、kely to feel the urge to humblebrag, at least to some extent, the proper response when we hear a friend doing it may be to simply let it go-because ultimately were going to do it ourselves, and who really wants to be called out on it?(考虑到我们都有可能感到谦卑的冲动，至少在某种程度上，当我们听到一个朋友这样做时，正确的反应可能就是不管它因为最终我们自己也会做它，
81、谁真的想把它说出来呢)”可知，当我们听到朋友在谦虚地自夸时，不管它就好了。故选B。Passage 4【新题模拟】（2020上海金山区高三一模） One rainy afternoon, I was on a crosstown bus when a young woman jumped on.
