2、t was snowing. At that point, drivers had to open the window _2_ (clear) it, letting snow and rain into the vehicle. As a solution, Anderson designed and patented wood and rubber arms _3_ would push rain and snow off the window at the pull of a lever (控制杆). But she was told her _4_ (invent) was dist
3、racting and impractical, and she never profited from her design.【答案】1. noticed 2. to clear 3. that/which 4. invention【解析】这是一篇记叙文。该段落主要描写了Mary Anderson发明汽车挡风玻璃雨刮器，但被认为是不切实际的发明。【1题详解】考查时态。句意：在去纽约的旅途中，阿拉巴马州的妇女玛丽安德森注意到一名电车司机在下雪时看不清东西。根据前一句“During a trip to New York City,在去纽约的路上”可知notice这个动作是过去发生的，要使用一般过
4、去时。故填noticed。【2题详解】考查不定式。句意：就在那时，司机不得不打开窗户去清理它。根据句意可知，打开窗户的目的是“清理”，即使用不定式做目的状语。故填to clear。【3题详解】考查定语从句。句意：作为解决方法，Anderson设计了一个木质的橡胶手臂并申请专利，这个手臂可以通过控制杆将车窗上的雨和雪推掉。该句为定语从句，先行词为wood and rubber arms，并在从句中做主语，应由关系代词thatwhich引导。故填thatwhich.【4题详解】考查名词。句意：但是她被告知她的发明会分散司机注意力，不切实际。本题中invite前为形容词性物主代词her，其后要接名词
5、，所以将invent变为invention。故填invention。B阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。The red-crowned crane (鹤) is one of the _5_ (large) cranes in the world, standing at about 150cm tall. Its feathers are as white as snow, except for some black ones on its face, neck and wings. Its unique
6、 feature, from which it gets its name, is the bright red skin on the top of its head. The red-crowned crane _6_ (find) in China, Russia, Mongolia, Japan and the Korean Peninsula (半岛). In China, it spends the warmer months in the rivers and wetlands in the north-east. _7_ the weather gets cold, it mi
7、grates to east-central China. The red-crowned crane is a symbol of long life and good luck in Chinese culture.【答案】5. largest 6. is found/has been found 7. When/As【解析】本文是说明文。介绍了丹顶鹤的外观，栖息地和象征意义。【5题详解】考查最高级。此处是one of句型，表示“最之一”，其中形容词用最高级。故填largest。【6题详解】考查被动语态。句中主语The red-crowned crane是单数，和动词find是被动关系。此
8、处表示丹顶鹤在中国、俄罗斯、蒙古、日本和朝鲜半岛被发现，既可表示过去发生的事，也可以指到现在为止在这些地方被发现，用现在完成时。故填is found/has been found。【7题详解】考查连词。句意：当天气变冷时，它迁移到中国的中东部。此处表示“当时候”，引导时间状语从句，故填When/As。C阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。Nearly two decades have passed since China sent the first Beidou satellite into space
9、in 2000. During that time, more Beidou satellites were sent into orbit (轨道), _8_ (form) the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).

10、 of 2018, BDS started to serve users worldwide. Now with two more Beidou satellites _10_ (launch) on Dec 16, 2019, BDS has 53 satellites in orbit.【答案】8. forming 9. services 10. launched【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了自2000年中国将第一颗北斗卫星送入太空以来，已经过去了近20年。在此期间，更多的北斗卫星被送入轨道，形成北斗导航卫星系统。文章还说明了从2012年底到2019年期间，北斗系统能提供的功能和完善情
11、况。【8题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：在此期间，更多的北斗卫星被送入轨道，形成北斗导航卫星系统。分析句子结构，form与其逻辑主语Beidou satellites之间是主动关系，用现在分词作结果状语。故填forming。【9题详解】考查名词的数。句意：2012年底，该公司开始向中国和亚太地区其他地区的用户提供定位、导航、定时和短信服务。service为可数名词，根据上文positioning, navigation, timing and messaging可知此处服务不止一种，故应用名词复数形式。故填services。【10题详解】考查with复合结构。句意：2019年12月16日，北斗系
12、统又发射了两颗北斗卫星，现有53颗在轨卫星。这里是with复合结构，因为“北斗卫星”和“发射”之间是被动关系，所以用with + n + 过去分词结构，所以填launched。第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。My Boxing ExperienceThis year I joined boxing class.

From a random but nonrepresentative sample, they also conducted an online survey of nearly 4,000 households in the same countries that say they cook chicken.Worried that chicken

At 158 degrees, but not lower, bacteria inside the chickens cores was reduced to safe levels, and when cut open its flesh appeared dull and fibrous, not shiny like raw chicken. But meat began changing from pink to white f

79、 too much time, were too complicated to use,didnt fit in the chicken or werent necessary.很少有人为温度计费心，宣称他们花费了太多的时间，太复杂而不能使用，不适合鸡肉也没必要。可知，人们会觉得用温度计比较麻烦，与选项D内容相符，故选D项。【39题详解】细节理解题。由文章第三段At 158 degrees, but not lower, bacteria inside the chickens cores was reduced to safe levels, and when cut open its fl
80、esh appeared dull and fibrous, not shiny like raw chicken.在158度时，但不是更低，鸡核心的细菌降到了安全水平，当被切开时，鸡肉显得枯燥和纤维状，不像生鸡肉肉质那么光滑。可知，到了158度时，鸡肉会显得干燥和纤维状，与选项C内容相符，故选C项。【40题详解】推理判断题。由最后一段Bring the breasts core to 165 degrees Fahrenheit, he said, and the leg to between 168.8 and 172.4 Fahrenheit.鸡胸的核心温度要达到165度，他说，鸡腿的温
81、度要达到168.8度和172.4度之间。和They will likely be dry and far from his standards of culinary (烹饪的) perfection.他们可能会干燥，而且与完美的烹饪标准也相去甚远。可知，鸡胸和鸡腿的安全烹饪温度分别为165度，168.8度和172.4度之间，这时细菌几乎被杀死了，所以食用是比较安全的，但此时口感和味道却不那么好了。与选项A内容相符，故选A项。41题详解】主旨大意题。由文章第一段To study how cooks at home follow safety recommendations, researche
82、rs filmed 75 households in five European countries.为了研究在家烹饪如何遵守安全的建议，研究者们在5个欧洲国家拍摄了75个家庭的烹饪情况。可知，文章讲述的是在家烹饪时的食品安全问题，与选项A内容相符，故选A项。【点睛】主旨大意题是阅读理解的常见题型，做这类题时，一般会有如下思路：1.关注首段或是最后一段，这两个位置往往会有体现文章主旨的句子。2.如没有主旨句，要通读全文，自己概括出文章大意。例如小题4就依据第一个思路，由第一段To study how cooks at home follow safety recommendations, re

95、the answer to this may be that the skills that enable workers to move up the ladder to more complex roles within their current areas might be less important than broader skills that will enable workers to change across divisions.可知最近的研究表明，这个问题的答案可能是，使工人能够在其目前的领域内晋升到更复杂的角色的技能，可能不如使工人能够跨部门转换的更广泛的技能重要。
96、由此可知，广泛的技能在换工作中是非常重要的。故选B。【43题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中In the UK, the National Retraining Scheme has largely been led by employers, meaning that those on zero-hours contracts and part-time workersoften low-skilledwill miss out.可知在英国，国家再培训计划在很大程度上是由雇主主导的，这意味着那些签订零时合同的人和兼职工人往往技能低下将会错过机会。由此可推知，作者对再培训计划持怀疑态度。故选C。

108、话或同事提出问题。如果你在家，可能是冰箱里的东西或沙发下突然粘上了尘螨。有时甚至只需更少的事物就能转移你的注意力。如果你正坐着工作，旁边有人说了一些特别有趣的话，这会吸引你的注意力。由此可知，本句承接上文说明，世界上充满了让人分心的事情，如果你一不小心被这些东西转移了注意力，那么你的一天就会一事无成。故G选项“如果你一不小心，你这一天就会一事无成”符合上下文语境，故选G。【47题详解】根据后文And put your smartphone and other irrelevant screens awaythey attract our attention even if they are o
109、ff.可知把你的智能手机和其他不相关的屏幕放在一边即使它们处于关闭状态，它们也会吸引我们的注意力。由此可知，此处是在说明关闭有网络通讯的电子产品或将这些产品放在一边，能够有助于在走神的时候保持专注。故D选项“关闭电子邮件或信息服务会有所帮助”符合上下文语境，故选D。【48题详解】根据后文If you are doing something repetitive like stuffing envelopes or laying bricks, being distracted by listening to music or a podcast or engaging in a convers

So if you are a creative type, try lining up two or more tasks and spend your day switching between them.可知但当我们试图想出创造性的解决方案时，任务转换的干扰可以帮助防止对无效方法的“认知固着”。所以，如果你是一个有创造力的人，试着把两个或更多的任务排列起
