I grabbed a pillow and held the broom.I quickly opened the bathroom door and threw the pillow at the bat. It didnt move. Then that old feeling started to come over me. It was the same feeli
19、ng I experienced when I was sent down the stairs in the middle of the night to see what made a noise.The feeling can be summed up in one word-trapped.All men, I think, sometimes have had that feeling of being trapped in some male role.

How does the author sound in the passage?CVeronica Vorobet learned about caring in her home country of Romania by nursing her grandparents. In 2013, after their deaths，she moved to England to find a job using the freedom provided by EU（
26、European Union）membership.Vorobet, 36, is one of a quarter of a million care workers who are not UK citizens, a rising percentage of whom have come from the EU in recent years. They have become an essential part of a low-paid workforce that is constantly understaffed（人手不足的）, with about 120,000 unocc
27、upied positions.Yesterday, she expressed disappointment with the announcement that there would be no special treatment for carers coming into the UK after BrexitBritish exit from the EU.“I want to see people treated the way I want to be treated and to make a difference in peoples lives, making a fee
28、ling of home for everyone,” she told the Guardian. “The foreign workers are important in this. They are able to work under a lot of stress and long hours. In my country we are very close to our elderly people and that is what we show here. We try to be close to them and respect their wishes.”She sai
29、d her approach was to treat residents as if they were her own grandparents and provide similar levels of “support and love.” When she arrived in the UK, Vorobet started as a junior care worker on minimum wage in a home for older people in Petersfield, Hampshire. Seven years on and having studied for
30、 an NVQ in health and social care, she is a deputy（副的）care manager at StAnthonys residential care home in Watford, part of RMD Care. There she works alongside other Romanian people, and care workers from Indian, Sri Lanka and Kenya.Her most recent trial has been keeping coronavirus（冠状病毒）out of the h

Staff turnover rates in adult social care currently stand at about 30% a year.“The government should do their research and find out who does these j
32、obs and understand the risk of taking this decision.

36、ict the future workforce in the UK.A. Angry.B. Humorous.C. Desperate.D. Serious.DTo learn to think is to learn to question. Those who dont question never truly think for themselves. These are simple rules that have governed the advancement of science and human thought since the beginning of time. Ad
37、vancements are made when thinkers question theories and introduce new ones. Unfortunately, it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought. Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher whose theories explained much of the natural world, often incorrectly. He wa
38、s so esteemed by the scientific community that even 1，200 years after his death, scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than correct them!Brilliant minds can intimidate up-and-coming thinkers who are not confident of their abilities. They often believe they are inferior to th
39、e minds of giants such as Aristotle, leading many to accept current paradigms instead of questioning them.I, like many thinkers of the past, once believed in my mental inferiority. I was certain that my parents, my teachersadults in generalwere always right. They were like a textbook to me; I didnt
40、question what was written on those pages. I respected them, and accepted whatever they told me. But that attitude soon changed. My minds independence was first stimulated in the classroom.A stern, 65-year-old elementary-school science teacher once told me that light is a type of wave. I confidently
41、went through years of school believing that light is a wave. One day，however I heard the German exchange student mention that light could be made up of particles. As the others laughed at his statement, I started to question my beliefs.Maybe the teachers and textbooks hadnt given me the whole story.
42、 I went to the library, did some research and learned of the light-as-a-wave versus light-as-a-particle debate. I read about Einsteins discovery of the dual nature of light and learned the facts of a paradox(悖论) that puzzles the worlds greatest thinkers to this day. Light behaves as both a particle
43、and a wave, it is both at once. I realized I had gone through life accepting only half of the story as the whole truth.Each new year brought more new facts, and I formulated even more questions. I found myself in the library after school, trying to find my own answers to gain a more complete underst
44、anding of what I thought I already knew. I discovered that my parents and teachers are incredible tools in my quest for knowledge, but they are never the final word. Even textbooks can be challenged. I learned to question my sources, I learned to be a thinker. I once believed that everything I learn
45、ed at home and at school was certain, but I have now discovered to re-examine when necessary.Questions are said to be the path to knowledge and truth, and I plan to continue questioning. How many things do we know for sure today that we will question in the future? At this moment, I know that our su
46、n will burn for another five billion years, and I know nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole. This knowledge, however, may change in the next 20 yearsmaybe even in the next two. The one thing we can control now is our openness to discovery. Questions are the tools of open minds, and open mi
47、nds are the key to intellectual advancement.32. In the first paragraph, Aristotle is taken as an example to show that _.A. he is the greatest and respected philosopher of all timeB. great thinkers often make mistakes and then correct themC. advancements are made when thinkers question theoriesD. hug
48、e influence of great thinkers may block human thought33. What does the underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Strength.B. Encourage.C. Frighten. D. Persuade.34. The author began to question his previous beliefs because _.A. what he learned from textbooks before turned out to be wrongB.
49、he was inspired by the different ideas from an exchange studentC. he was laughed at by other students for his unacceptable statementD. he was not satisfied with his life and desperate to achieve success35. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Challenging yourself.B. Questioning giants.C. Follo

Predicting future.第二节（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。Have you ever had someone tell you “If you eat before bed, you are more likely to get fat?” 36 This belief originated when researchers found the relation between individuals snacking late at night and
51、having a BMI that categorizes them as obese（肥胖的）.Is eating late at night, especially after 8 pm, really going to make you gain weight? One theory is that your metabolism（新陈代谢）slows down when you are asleep. 37 Thus the calories you eat right before bed would not be burned off as much as they would b
52、e while youre awake.Although the science seems pretty sound，recent studies have shown that metabolism changes very little, if at all, while you are asleep. 38 The heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very active. All of these actions take energy, meaning while we a
53、re asleep, we are still burning calories. 39 As we know, one physiological effect of insulin（胰岛素）is storing fat. Food being consumed late at night will more likely be stored away due to the higher levels of insulin present in the blood system. However, insulin levels at night are shown to be no diff
54、erent than insulin levels during mid-day. If it is true that eating with high insulin levels causes you to gain weight, anyone eating anytime after the morning will become fat.So how come individuals have higher BMIs when they snack at night? It is simply a result of eating too many calories. Snacks
55、 that individuals tend to eat during the night are usually high in sugar and calories, such as ice cream, candy, potato chips and soft drinks. Put simply, if you eat more calories than you burn, regardless of the time of the day, you will gain weight. 40 A. With a slow metabolism, few calories are b
56、eing burned.B. While asleep, your body still functions in many ways.C. All living matter undergoes a process of metabolism.D. The time these snacks are consumed does not matter.E. Without ever questioning it, people quickly assume this to be true.F. Besides, insulin levels are dramatically lower in
57、the morning than at night.G. Another theory is that late night snacking leads to rising insulin levels.第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每题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白处的最佳选项。The bond between mother and daughter is irreplaceable.
