11、s for Open House 2020.【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A【解析】这是一篇应用文。作者在信中首先感谢人们对慈善事业的支持，才使得2020年开放日取得了成功。号召大家继续捐款支持慈善事业，并列出对捐款人的奖励。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“None of this would have been possible without our Open House Friends, who have reached out to give a monthly donation to support the charity after Covid-19 stopped alm
12、ost all of our income.( 如果没有我们的开放日朋友，这些都是不可能的，在Covid-19几乎停止了我们所有的收入后，他们每月都伸出援助之手支持慈善事业)”可知，新冠疫情导致“The Open House Team”几乎失去了所有的收入，作者感叹如果没有人们的捐款，2020年开放日的举办是不可能的，可推知，2020年开放日取得了成功。因此，我们对2020年开放日的了解是C项“Open House 2020 turned out a great success thanks to peoples donations. (由于人们的捐款，2020年开放日活动取得了巨大成功)”符
13、合题意。故选C项。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据小标题“1.25 a week”下的介绍“Open House Silver Key badge(徽章）Limited edition print by David KnightA discount on all our ticketed eventsFree Friends events throughout the year(开放式银钥匙徽章（徽章）限量版大卫奈特印刷所有门票活动的折扣全年免费举办朋友活动)”可知，对每周捐款1.25英镑的人的奖励有：开放式银钥匙徽章，限量版大卫奈特印刷；所有门票活动的折扣和全年免费举办朋友活动。因此，以下不是对
14、每周捐款1.25英镑的人的奖励的是：D项“Special Open House events on Open House weekends (开放日周末的特别开放日活动)”符合题意。故选D项。【3题详解】推理判断题。结合上文及第四段及第五段“But we still need your support. If you value our work and want to see Open House continue beyond the pandemic, please consider becoming an Open House Friend from just l.25 per wee
15、k.(但我们仍然需要你的支持。如果你重视我们的工作，如果想在大流行病之后继续举办开放日活动，请考虑以每周1.25英镑的价格成为开放日朋友)”可知，作者首先感谢了人们对慈善事业的支持，2020年开放日才取得了成功，接着又谈到了，仍然需要人们继续支持慈善事业，并且在下文中列出对捐款人的奖励。因此，作者写这封电子邮件的目的A项“To appeal to readers to make donations to Open House(呼吁读者为开放日捐款)”符合题意。故选A项。B“Dont delete your browser(浏览器）history,”Lin Kai warns his 11-ye

26、同的观点。【4题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词后的“by online games.网络游戏”以及“He wants his son to know that he will inspect the browser for evidence of such naughtiness.”可知，他想让儿子知道，他会检查浏览器，寻找这种顽皮行为的证据。由此判断出，林先生发现自己的儿子被玩网络游戏所吸引。故划线词的意思是“吸引”。故选B。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Im simply more productive in a physical classroom”可知，我只是在实体课堂上的学习
27、更有效率。由此判断出，在侯凯旋看来，网络课程是低效的。故选D项。【6题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The teacher-student relationship will become “less hierarchical(等级分明的）”。师生等级分明的关系变得越来越小。“At Mr Yues school, students may even call their teachers to ask for feedback.If he is right, such a breaking-down of barriers could be one of the few happy bypr
28、oducts of Covid-19.”可知，在岳先生所在的学校里，学生们甚至会打电话给老师寻求反馈。如果是这样的话，那么这种打破师生关系障碍的做法可能是Covid-19带来的为数不多的好结果。所以最后一段的主旨是老师和学生之间的关系可能变得更好。故选C项。CThe desire to be perfect is something most of us have felt at some point in our lives.Studying for the perfect test result, searching for the perfect partner, working thr

40、ionismB. How one can live a happy lifeC. When the best is not enoughD. The meaning of being perfect【答案】7. C 8. B 9. D 10. C【解析】这是一篇议论文。讲述了现在的年轻人对于完美的理解，文章认为要求完美不一定会对生活的更好有帮助，希望年轻人更加在意过程而不是结果。【7题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“.but for some people, diligence and motivation can shift into perfectionism, a misunder
41、stood personality trait（特质）that can have dangerous consequences.”（但对一些人来说，勤奋和动力可能会转变为完美主义，这是一种被误解的个性特征，可能会产生危险的后果。）可知，完美主义可能会带来危险的后果，因此年轻人要求完美不一定是一件好事，反而让年轻人成为完美的受害者。故选C项。【8题详解】词义猜测题。根据第三段倒数第二句“We certainly shouldnt be promoting perfectionism as a positive trait in an uncritical manner.”（我们不应该不加批判地把
42、完美主义作为积极的品质来宣扬），和下一句开头“It isnt even true that.”可知，上句提到“完美主义”，下句用了一个even表递进，该句进一步提到“完美主义”，及这里的it 就是指的完美主义，整句话意为：你甚至不需要完美主义就能成为顶级运动员。故选B项。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“If you want to be happy and healthy for 80-plus years then you have to focus on what you gained from an experience, rather than what grade you
43、achieved.”（如果你想在80多年的时间里保持快乐和健康，那么你就必须关注你从一段经历中获得了什么，而不是你取得了什么成绩。）可知，人们应该更加注重经历，而不是成绩和结果。故选D项。【10题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段句子“Its not about being perfect, she says.If you want to be happy and healthy for 80-plus years then you have to focus on what you gained from an experience, rather than what grade you ach
44、ieved.”（“这与完美无关，”她说。“如果你想在80多年的时间里保持快乐和健康，那么你必须关注你从一种经历中获得了什么，而不是你取得了什么成绩。”）可知，取得完美并不足以代表什么，你在一种经历中的获得才最显重要，通读全文，这也是整篇文章一直讲的主题。故选C项。DI rang Daisy the next morning and invited her to come to tea“Dont bring Tom,”I warned her.It was raining on the day we had fixed to have tea. A man arrived at eleven o
45、clock to cut the grass in my garden (Gatsbys lawn(草坪）was always perfect). A little later an enormous quantity of flowers was delivered.At three oclock the front door opened and Gatsby hurried in.

I helped her out of the car.“Are you in
48、 love with me?” she said softly in my ear. “If not, why did I have to comealone?”“Thats a secret.”We went in. To my surprise the living room was empty. Then there was a knock at the door. I opened it. Gatsby was standing there in the rain. He disappeared quickly into the living room. I waited at the
49、 door. After a moment of silence, Daisy laughed and said in a clear, false voice,“Im very glad to see you again.”I closed the door and joined them in the living room. Gatsby was standing and staring at Daisy. She was sitting, frightened but composed(沉着的)，on the edge of a chair.“Weve met before,”Gats
50、by said.“Not for many years,” Daisy added quickly.“Five years next November,” said Gatsby immediately without thinking.I sat and talked to Daisy as we drank our tea and ate the lemon cakes. Gatsby was quiet but his anxious, unhappy eyes moved continuously from me to Daisy. I left them together after
51、 a while.When I went back in, they were sitting on the couch, looking at each other. All their embarrassment had gone. Daisys face was covered with tears. But there was a change in Gatsby that really surprised me. He radiated a feeling of joy that filled the room.“Hello, my friend,” he said.“Its sto

She was late for tea because of the heavy rain.B. She didnt want to talk to Gatsby due to his rudeness.C. She hadnt expected to meet Gatsby in
56、Nicks house.D. She was too embarrassed to notice the rain had stopped.【答案】11. C 12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C【解析】本文是记叙文，是小说了不起的盖茨比的片段。文章描述了五年后Gatsby和Daisy在他表哥Nick家里再次相遇的场景。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“A man arrived at eleven oclock to cut the grass in my garden (Gatsbys lawn(草坪）was always perfect). 一个男人11点来修剪了草坪（
57、Gatsby的草坪总是很完美）。A little later an enormous quantity of flowers was delivered.（过了一会儿，大量的鲜花也送来了。）”和“At three oclock the front door opened and Gatsby hurried in. He looked anxious.（三点整，前门开了Gatsby匆忙地进来。他看起来很焦急。）”以及下文描述的Gatsby焦急地等Daisy可推知，修理草坪和送花，应该是Gatsby的精心准备。故选C。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段的“the front door open
58、ed and Gatsby hurried in. He looked anxious.（前门开了，Gatsby急急忙忙进来了。他看起来很急切。）”第九段的“From time to time he looked through the windows at the rain. . Nobodys coming to tea. Its too late! I cant wait all day.（ 他不时地透过窗户看外面的雨。没人来喝茶。太晚了!我不能等一整天。）”可知，描述了在Daisy来之前，Gatsby 等待时的焦虑不安；而第16段的“Gatsby was standing there
59、in the rain.（Gatsby站在雨中。）”描述的是Daisy到达后，“我”和Daisy进到房子时的情景，不符合题意。故选D。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第16段的“We went in. To my surprise the living room was empty. Then there was a knock at the door. I opened it. Gatsby was standing there in the rain.（我们走了进去。令我吃惊的是，客厅没人。然后有人敲门。我打开门。Gatsby站在雨中。）” 再结合上文提到在Daisy到达前，Gatsby紧张
60、不安； 他本来在客厅里，知道Daisy到了，他却从门外进来，假装比Daisy后到达。由此推知，他故意离开房子，是因为他不想让Daisy知道他一直在等她，想让Daisy觉得这是一次偶遇。故选B。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据此处倒数7、8段Gatsby和Daisy的对话“ Weve met before,Gatsby said.Not for many years, Daisy added quickly. (Gatsby说“我们以前就见过”。Daisy马上补充说“好多年没见了”。) ” 划线句的意思为“Gatsby马上不假思索地说到明年十一月就有五年（没见了）”可知，Gatsby 很清楚地记得
61、有多久没有和Daisy见面。由此推知，这句话暗示了Gatsby 非常期盼和Daisy的重逢。故选D。【15题详解】细节理解题。根据文章中“Are you in love with me? she said softly in my ear. If not, why did I have to come alone? Thats a secret.（你爱上我了吗?她在我耳边轻声说。如果不是，为什么要我一个人来呢?这是一个秘密。）”以及文章最后一段中“her voice showing her unexpected joy.（她的声音流露出她意外的喜悦。）”可知，Daisy问Nick为什么要她一人
62、来，而Nick没有告诉她原因。由此可知， Daisy并不知道Nick安排了她和Gatsby的见面，她没有预料到在Nick家里见到Gatsby。故选C。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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。In June 9, 1870, Charles Dickens died at the age of 58.The next day, a headline in The New York Times read:“ Death of the Great Novelist.Mourned by the
63、 People of Two Continents.”_16_Even today, the British novelist is loved by readers all over the world.Dickens created some of the most unforgettable characters in English literature.You must have heard of or even read some of his novels: Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol and A Tale of Two Cities._17_
64、Since 1897,there have been more than 300 film and television adaptations of Dickens works.Natalie McKnight is a literature professor who studies Dickens and his works.She explains why the novelist has remained so popular.One important reason, she says,is that Dickens wrote from his heart._18_A Chris
65、tmas Carol,for example,was written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society.People always enjoy works that make them laugh out loud,cry and think._19_However, few of them worked as hard as Dickens to attract readers minds.Dickens wrote about situations and e
66、motions that still interest people today._20_His works led to many important social changes.This year marks the 150th year of Dickens death. Its another chance to remember this great writer.Will you read (or re-read) some of his most famous works? A. He tried hard to produce emotional effects among
67、his readers. B. He used his pen to fight social inequality and gave voice to the poor.C. Dickens early life was very hard.D. A Tale of Two Cities has sold more than 200 million copies.E. The headline was not overstating the fame of Dickens.F. Their works became the best sellers of that time.G. Many
68、other 19th century novelists wrote entertaining works.【答案】16. E 17. D 18. A 19. G 20. B【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文分析了狄更斯的作品经久不衰的原因，他的作品使得英国发生了很多重大的社会变革。【16题详解】根据下一句“Even today, the British novelist is loved by readers all over the world.”可知，即使在今天，这位英国小说家仍然受到全世界读者的喜爱，可见狄更斯的作品闻名于世，成就斐然。因此，E项“The headline was not o
69、verstating the fame of Dickens.(标题并没有夸大狄更斯的名声)”切题，该选项与下一句构成因果关系，且该选项中的“not overstating the fame of Dickens.”与下一句“is loved by readers all over the world”相呼应，故选E项。【17题详解】根据第二段最后一句“Since 1897, there have been more than 300 film and television adaptations of Dickens works.(自1897年以来，已经有300多部影视作品改自狄更斯的作品)
70、”可知，自1897年以来，已经有300多部影视作品改自狄更斯的作品，可见狄更斯的作品非常受欢迎，在那时候就是畅销书了。因此，D项“A Tale of Two Cities has sold more than 200 million copies.(双城记已售出2亿多册)”切题，选项中的“more than 200 million copies”与下文中的“more than 300 film and television adaptations”两组数据相呼应。故选D项。【18题详解】根据上一句“One important reason, she says, is that Dickens
71、wrote from his heart.(她说，一个重要的原因是狄更斯发自内心的写作)”及下文“People always enjoy works that make them laugh out loud, cry and think(人们总是喜欢能让他们笑、哭泣和思考的作品)”可知，狄更斯是发自内心的写作，他努力在读者中产生情感影响，他的作品能让读者产生共鸣，让他们哭，让他们笑，引起他们的思考。因此，A选项“He tried hard to produce emotional effects among his readers.(他努力在读者中产生情感影响) ”切题，该选项中的“emot
72、ional”与下文中的“laugh ,cry ,think”相呼应。故选A项。【19题详解】根据下一句“However, few of them worked as hard as Dickens to attract readers minds.(然而，他们中很少有人像狄更斯那样努力地吸引读者的思想)”可知，在这里作者提到了其他一些作家，并把作家的作品与狄更斯的作品作对比，因此，G选项“Many other 19th century novelists wrote entertaining works(许多其他19世纪的小说家写了一些有趣的作品) ”切题，选项中的“Many other 19
73、th century novelists”与下一句中的“them”相呼应，故选G项。【20题详解】根据下一句“His works led to many important social changes.(他的作品导致了许多重要的社会变革)”可推知，狄更斯的很多作品描述的是社会的不平等，才引起读者的共鸣，导致了社会的变革。因此，B项“fight social inequality and gave voice to the poor(他用笔与社会不平等作斗争，为穷人发声)”切题，该选项中的“social inequality”与下一句中的“social changes.”相呼应。故选B项。第三
