17、ake the class because Jadas counselor had said that she had real talent in science.Jada had to admit that she liked science and that last years class was a breeze, but come on,Honors Chemistry? She wouldnt know anyone in the class，and they probably wouldnt know anyone like her.The good thing about b
18、eing late is that it shortened the period a bit. The bad thing is that it made her seem like she was making a grand entrance. To make matters worse, the only two seats left in class were at the lab table at the very front of the room.Jada held her breath and walked in. Everyones eyes were on her. Sh
19、e just knew it. They were staring at her coal black hair (freshly dyed), her black lipstick, her black fingernail polish, and herthrift-store black leather jacket. All she saw were polo shirts and khaki pants.This cant get any worse, Jada thought. But at least she didnt get shouted at by the teacher
20、. He was too busy talking to a new kid, a HUGE new kid, who had to weigh at least 250 pounds. Afootball player, probably. She hated football players. They thought they were so great. That group of jocks that hung out by the cafeteria always made fun of her.The new kid made his way over to her table
21、with his head down. He had to squeeze into the seat, and his legs wouldnt fit under the lab table. He shot Jada a glance and turned red.Mr. Martin, the teacher, began class with this announcement: Okay, everyone. 1 know most of you know each other from last years Honors Physical Science class. Jada
22、sighed loudly.But just take a minute and introduce yourself to the person sitting at your table. Youll be partners.

26、c dance with the summer sun. Humans evolved in this icy world, and civilization relied on it for climatic, ecological and political stability. But now the world comes ever closer to a future without ice. The National Snow and Ice Data Center reported that 2019s minimum arctic sea ice extent was the
27、second lowest on record. Arctic summers could become mostly ice-free in 30 years, and possibly sooner if current trends continue. As the northern sea ice declines, the world must unite to preserve what remains of the Arctic.Although most people have never seen the sea ice, its effects are never far
28、away, By reflecting sunlight, Arctic ice acts as Earth s air conditioner. Once dark water replaces brilliant ice, Earth couldwarm substantially, equivalent to the warming caused by the additional release of a trillion tons of carbon dioxide (CO) into the atmosphere and declining sea ice threatens wi
29、ldlife, from the polar bear to algae that grow beneath the sea ice, supporting the large amount of marine life.To avoid the consequences the scientific community should advocate not just for lowering greenhouse gas emissions, but also for protecting the Arctic from exploitation. The Antarctic shows
30、the way. In the 1950s, countries raced to claim the Antarctic continent for resources and military installations. Enter the scientists. The 1957-1958 International Geophysical Year brought together scientists from competing countries to study Antarctica, and countries temporarily suspended their ter
31、ritorial disputes(争议).In 1959,12 countries signed the Antarctic Treaty to preserve the continent for peaceful scientific discovery rather than territorial and military gain.Sixty years later, we must now save the Arctic. A new Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary (MAPS)Treaty would protect the Arctic Ocean
32、 as a scientific preserve for peaceful purposes only. Similar to Antarctica, MAPS would prohibit resource exploitation，commercial fishing and shipping，and military exercises. So far, only 2 non-Arctic countries have signed MAPS; 97 more need to sign onto enact it into law. Scientists can helpjust as
33、 they did for the Antarcticby giving statements of support, asking scientific organizations to endorse(支持) the treaty, communicating the importance of protecting the arctic to the public and policy-makers, and above all, by convincing national leaders to sign the treaty. In particular, Arctic nation
34、s must agree that recognizing the arctic as an international preserve is better than fighting over it. In 2018, these countries successfully negotiated a 16-year moratorium on commercial fishing in the Arctic high seas, demonstrating that such agreements are possible.Humans have only ever lived in a
35、 world topped by ice. Can we now work together to protect Arctic ecosystems, keep the northern peace, and allow the sea ice to return?28.What can be inferred from the passage?A. Wildlife relies on sea ice for food and water.B. The Arctic would be ice-free in 30 years.C. Sea ice slows down the global

This can annoy many, especially when were busy with work and other commitments-and yet where did this number actually come from?The 10,000 steps a day target seems to have come about from a trade name pedometer sold in1965 by
39、 Yamasa Clock in Japan. The device was called Manpo-kei, which translates to 10,000 steps meter. This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. Its even included in daily activity targets by popular smartwatches, such as Fitbit.Resear
40、ch has since investigated the 10,000 steps a day target. But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, around 4.400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women. This was when comp
41、ared to only walking around 2,700 steps daily. The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was，before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. No additional benefits were seen with more steps. Although its uncertain whether similar results would be seen in men, its one example of ho
42、w moving a little bit more daily can improve health and lower risk of death.Recent research at the University of Texas has also demonstrated that if youre walking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, your body is less able to metabolize(新陈代谢) fat the following day. A buildup of fat in the body can also inc
43、rease a persons likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This is further supported by previous research which shows people who walked less than 4,000 steps a day could not change this decreased fat metabolism.If you want to increase how many steps you get daily, or simply want t
44、o move more, one easy way includes walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if youre working from home. Meeting with friends for a walk - rather than in a cafe or pub - can also be useful.32.Whnt does the author think of the 10,000 steps per day?A. It is an upsetting
45、 target to achieve.B. It is likely to go out of style quickly.C. It is a rising tendency of mental healthD. It is effective in reducing pressure on work.33.What does research from the Harvard Medical School suggest about the target?A. It matters as much as 7500 steps a day.B. The more steps, the low
46、er risk of death.C.A bit more than the target can improve health.D. About half that target appears to be beneficial.34.What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?A. Absence of previous research.B. Recent findings of fat buildup. C. Problems of less daily walking.D. Possible causes of physical cha

98、2th. (18) Enterprise Minister Laurence Skelly said the “logical decision” to cancel the event for a second year was needed to protect residents and visitors. The 2020 TT Festival was canceled in March, as the first wave of COVID-19 spread through much of Europe. The cancelation of next years motor c
99、ycle festival is another huge hit for the islands tourism industry. (19) The border has been closed for months to non-residents as the island government battles to prevent the high rates of COVID-19 seen throughout much of the UK. Mr. Skelly said the government could not commit to “welcoming tens of
100、 thousands of people to the island in June”. Resident Anne Rostron, (20) whose husband Brian is a former TT rider, said she could see why the decision had been taken, because it would be “letting everybody in” to the island.

103、ng place across the weekend with behind-the-scenes chats with local artists。可见共同点就是都有线上。故选D。第23题 最后一个标题第一行的“A new beer garden”和“wine tasting”就在暗示适合喜欢饮酒的人参与。故选A。B篇第24题 结合一二段，从缓慢移动、叹气、担心陌生学生不喜欢自己来看，她不大愿意来这个班级。选C。第25题 结合第三段的The bad thing is that it made her seem like she was making a grand entrance.可以看
104、出她觉得迟到导致一个盛大的入场不大好，她被仔细端详更体现她的窘迫和歉意。故选C。第26题 根据前文的The bad thing is that it made her seem like she was making a grand entrance.可见指的是足球队。故选B。第27题 结合全文来看，主人公一开始担心陌生学生会否喜欢她，接着是因为迟到感到抱歉，以及后面老师让大家自我介绍是她的反应，看得出她比较害羞。故选A。C篇第28题 结合第二段，A错在细化，生物的确依赖这些冰但并没有说为了食物和水；B错在过度概括，原文说的是极地的夏天可能在三十年内不再有冰；D更错，纯属拼凑。而冰块确实对地球
105、有调节作用，减缓温室效应。故选C。第29题 第三段第三行The Antarctic shows the way.可以看出，提出这个例子就是提供解决方法的。故选B。第30题 联系前文municating the importance of protecting the arctic to the public and policy-makers, and above all, by convincing national leaders to sign the treaty. In particular, Arctic nations must agree that recognizing th
106、e arctic as an international preserve is better than fighting over it.可见达成了保护的共识。而划线单词后面是商业捕鱼，出于保护肯定是禁止的。故选B。第31题 考察文章主旨。结合全文来看，都是围绕者冰川的重要性和保护展开的，D选项是个问句，表达的是人们无法想象没有冰川该如何生活。故选D。D篇第32题 结合第一段This can annoy many, especially when were busy with work and other commitments-and yet where did this number a
107、ctually come from?可见作者认为这个目标设置让人心烦，很难实现。故选A。第33题 第三段第二行.recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, around 4.400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women.每日4400步就可有效降低女性死亡风险，可见原本目标的一半左右就可有好处。故选D。第34题 考察段落大意，整段在说每日步数小于五千，身体就难以代谢脂肪、进而导致一些疾病的风险
108、增大，可见在说步数少的坏处。故选C。第35题 结合第五段.one easy way includes walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if youre working from home.建议走路上班、参与网上的运动项目等。故选D。7选5阅读答案：36-40FGBDC这篇文章主要讲了发霉的食物中的霉菌、生食品中的细菌、生熟食品处理时的微生物都会给人们的健康带来危害，因此在处理和食用时需要特别注意。详细解析：第36题 根据前一句“有些人有从食物中去除霉菌后食用的习惯”，联系第二段开
109、头可知这样的做法并不能保证毒素被完全清除，也就是说这些人并不知道这样的做法可能会导致疾病。选项F中的many和前文的some people呼应，且句意符合，故选F第37题 通读全文可以发现只有第一、二段在讲食物中的霉菌的危害，而选项中也只有G还在警告读者不要食用带霉菌的食品。且G选项句意与前文“在这种情况下，你应该彻底丢掉柔软潮湿的食物”呼应，故选G第38题 这一空位于第三段开头，根据下一句的“Many of these”可知这一空应该出现一个名词复数形式，根据下一句的“have to do with the consumption of raw foods that havent under
110、gone the appropriate processes”可知这一空应该要阐述食用未经适当加工的生食品会导致许多危险的情况。结合以上两点可知选B第39题 根据下文“专家通常建议在冰箱里解冻产品”，可以很快对应至选项D中的“Food unfreezing processes”，且D选项的句意“食品解冻过程是一个关键点”也符合语境，故选D第40题 根据上文提示我们要避免“Cross-contamination”交叉污染可知，我们在处理生熟食品时一定不能使用相同的工具，且选项C中的tools和上文的equipment, cook facilities or surfaces呼应，故选C03完形填
111、空答案：41-45 BDCAB46-50 DCABA51-55 DBCDA这篇文章主要介绍了在新冠疫情的特殊时期，我们要保持战斗争取更好以度过困难时期。作者列出了下述方法，如降低期望、善待自己、减少接触负面情绪的事物、向他人寻求帮助等。详细解析：第41题这一空修饰的是“challenges”，根据下文“无论是疾病、无法自由活动，还是与朋友和家人的接触减少”可知人们面对的挑战是多种多样的，故选B第42题由上文可知这一句在列举人们在新冠疫情期间遇到的各种挑战，显然人们在疫情期间是无法自由地随意活动的，故选D第43题根据第一句作者建议我们降低期望，这一句顺承下来应该是减少手头上计划的事情，故选C第4
112、4题本句的句意是“在艰难时期很难全然发挥出潜力”，考察固定搭配perform at onesfull potential，其他选项press挤压、profit获益、plot密谋都不符合，故选A第45题上一句的句意是“请理解并接受你正在经历一个艰难的时期”，推断可知这一句是“让自己适应生命中的这段时期”，考察固定搭配adjust to，故选B第46题根据下文中的“every day”可知，作者希望我们把做一些让自己快乐的事情作为日常生活的常规、例行事务，故选D第47题前文中作者提醒我们不要“把注意力集中在那些大的、不可持续的行为，如出国旅行上”，这显然与这一句里“关注生活中的小乐趣，比如喝一杯真
113、正好的咖啡或洗个热水澡”是相反的，因此逻辑上是转折的，故选C第48题根据段意可知，作者建议我们减少接触会产生负面情绪的事物，define定义、switch转换、weaken削弱均不符合，故选A第49题这一句承接上文，解释为何不要多看负面消息。根据句意可知，关于消极事件的新闻会让精神状态本就不佳的人更加消沉，故选B第50题根据句意，当你在精神虚弱的时候观看负面新闻时，你可能会让自己相信，生活确实充满了厄运和黑暗，convince oneself that也是固定搭配，且符合句意，persuade强调说服，不符合句意，故选A第51题根据上文可知精神状态很好和精神状态不佳的人在看同样的负面新闻时会产
114、生不同的结果，由此可知变量是人的精神状态，常量是新闻，故选D第52题根据下文可轻松推断出这里的句意是不要害怕向他人求助，考察固定搭配reach out for help，故选B第53题根据上文可知，作者一再强调不要害怕或羞于向他人求助，Its nothing to be ashamed of符合句意，即“这没什么好羞愧的”，故选C第54题由于这一段都在谈论向他人寻求帮助，因此可以推断这句话是说在线论坛是个寻求支持的好方法，ambition野心、evidence证据、preference偏爱显然都不符合，故选D第55题这里的句意是阐述为何在线论坛有利于人们寻求支持，其中一大原因就是人们能在其中找
