But teachers and administrators say that the program will have a major impact. “Students were talking and laughing and there were no cellphones other than being carried in the pouches,” Stansbury says.Teacher Nia Cummings says she even noticed students bouncing
55、ideas off each other in class. She says students used to give up quickly and just look for answers on their phones.

63、t looks great on paper. You could move away from the pressures of city life, to somewhere with a lower cost of living and more privacy. You could enjoy scenic views all year round, and adopt a simpler way of life. Its not hard to see the appeal of this at all. But what happens when that all goes wro
64、ng?Paul Kingsnorth is a distinguished writerhis novel The Wake was longlisted for the Booker Prize and won the Gordon Burn Prize. His books help develop an awareness of place and history, so its not hugely surprising that his latest book, Savage Gods, is about his own rural existence. Savage Gods is
65、 in part about Kingsnorth, his wife, and their children moving to western Ireland. He writes, “In my country a small house and a field is beyond the means of anyone who doesnt earn much money or who refuses to get into debt to chase a dream.” Its a feeling that anyone whos looked longingly at rural
66、tiny houses miles from anyone else can relate to.But Kingsnorth is aware that this is only part of the story. “Because I am not a real farmer, I have to make my money in other places,” he writes, “I need the Internet or the Dublin-to-Holyhead ferry and sometimes both to put food on my familys table.
67、” To make matters worse, Kingsnorths isolation(隔离) results in a crisis of confidence in his own writing abilitieswhich becomes one of the central themes of Savage Gods.Kingsnorth isnt the only writer to make time spent in a vivid countryside landscape sound less enjoyable than one might expect. The
68、French writer Sylvain Tesson takes this to what may be its most extreme point in his book. He lived alone for six months. His book includes impressive descriptions of the landscape and what its like to experience depression in the middle of such a landscape.Some books neatly remind you of the appeal
69、 of such an existence, while others make the drawbacks central to their accounts. In Names for the Sea, Moss summarizes the attraction of wilder places. “Wed come for the landscape, for the pale nights and dark shores, rain sweeping over trees and bushes,” she writes. From that, its not hard to see
70、why a life in natureeven with its potential downsidesstill appeals to so many.38. According to Paragraph 1, living in isolation makes people_.A. look greatB. reveal their privacyC. overcome pressuresD. enjoy a lower living cost39. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Paul
71、Kingsnorth helps readers develop an awareness of time and space.B. Paul Kingsnorth starts to have doubts about his ability as a writer.C. Paul Kingsnorths family live comfortably in a rural house.D. Paul Kingsnorth couldnt afford a tiny rural house.40. What do you know about Paul Kingsnorth?A. He th
72、inks it a perfect idea to live alone in nature.B. He earns money somewhere else to make ends meet.C. His latest book is about the attraction of wilder places.D. Living in the countryside landscape results in his depression.41. Why does the author mention Sylvain Tesson and his book?A. To inform read
73、ers of a famous French writer.B. To praise him for his marvelous writing skills.C. To explain how to live in the peaceful countryside.D. To emphasize more writers experience similar problems.【答案】38. D 39. C 40. B 41. D【解析】这是一篇议论文。主要介绍了Paul Kingsnorth对于乡村生活的一些观点和见解。【38题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“You could move
74、away from the pressures of city life, to somewhere with a lower cost of living and more privacy.”可知，你可以从城市生活的压力中脱离出来，去一个低消费，更有隐私的地方。说明住在一个隔绝的环境中可以让人们减少生活成本。故选D项。【39题详解】推理判断题。分析本句结构并翻译语境可知，本题考查代词的指代关系，且位于第三段段首，that所指代的内容应为第二段中“Savage Gods, is about his own rural existence.”这本书讲个事他自己的农村生活经历。结合选项翻译可知，C
75、项“Paul Kingsnorth一家人在农村舒适生活的经历”符合题意。故选C项。【40题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Because I am not a real farmer, I have to make my money in other places, he writes, I need the Internet or the Dublin-to-Holyhead ferry and sometimes both to put food on my familys table. ”可知，他说因为他不是一个真正的农民，他必须要在别处赚钱，然后需要用到网络或者都柏林到霍利黑德的渡船把
76、食物运到家里。意在表明Paul Kingsnorth在别处赚钱来满足家人在农村的生活。故选B项。【41题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中“The French writer Sylvain Tesson takes this to what may be its most extreme point in his book”可知法国作家Sylvain Tesson把我对农村生活的观点表现的淋漓尽致。意在表明Sylvain Tesson和他的书目的是想强调有更多的作家经历过相似的问题。故选D项。DElon Musk, perhaps the worlds most famous businessm
77、an, has a habit of making statements that stretch the bounds of believability.On July 16th, 2019, he introduced a new type of brain-machine interface (BMI), starting from the design of a “neural lace (神经织网)”, a net of thin electrodes (电极) that capture the information from the brain. However, the ele
78、ctrodes must be flexible, so that they do not damage brain tissue and will last for a long time. And to make the implantation (植入) of so many electrodes safe, painless and effective, the process has to be automated.Mr. Musks team does indeed seem to have made progress towards these goals.

Finally, Musk predicts neural lace will allow humans to be combined with AI systems, thus enabling the species to survive.Though, as this announcement shows, Mr. Musk does have a habit of presenting himself as the hero of the human race, the idea that some m

86、 B 44. A 45. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Elon Musk提出的新型脑机交互的想法，并从现今研究成果和未来应用前景进行了详细说明。【42题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中“Elon Musk. has a habit of making statements that stretch the bounds of believability.(埃隆马斯克，有一种习惯，他发表的言论超出了可信度的范围。)”第二段中“On July 16th, 2019, he introduced a new type of brain-machine interface (BMI)”
87、(2019年10月16日，他提出了一个关于新型脑机交互的想法。)可知Elon Musk经常能提出前所未闻的想法，B项符合题意。故选B项。【43题详解】词义猜测题。根据第四段中“They designed a small device that would sit behind someones ear, picking up signals from the implanted chip and passing them on as appropriate.”可知，现在设计的小设备安装在人的耳后，从植入芯片中收集信息，然后以合适的方式传递下去。表明现在的应用较为复杂。划线词所在句表述为几年后，
88、意为与现在形成对比关系，表明这项技术会变得更为普遍和简易。通过翻译选项可知，B项common“普遍的”切合题意。故选B项。【44题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The biggest barrier to this happening will probably not be writing the software needed to interpret brainwaves, but rather persuading people that the necessary surgery”可知，最大的阻碍可能不是写软件，而是说服人们做必要的外科手术。意在表明BMI最艰难的部分是说服人们接
89、受必要的外科手术。故选A项。【45题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段中“On July 16th, 2019, he introduced a new type of brain-machine interface (BMI)”可知2019年10月16日，他提出了一个关于新型脑机交互想法。接下来全文围绕新型脑机交互(BMI)进行展开说明，因此可知A项“新神经织网，一种新型的脑机交互”切题。故选A项。【点睛】猜测词义题旨在考查学生根据上下文推测生词、短语或句子意思的能力，突出考查对语境的分析和把握能力。是阅读理解的常考题型，题干中通常含有mean，referto或者bereplacedby等。例如第
90、2小题中“In a few years, using a brain implant to control your devices may be as prevalent as wearing wireless earphones today.”根据同位或解释关系，当作者不能肯定读者能够理解他的意思时，会用另外一种方式来进一步详细解释或类比关系衬托自己的观点表述。句中as起到了连接前后句语境的作用，通过后句的类比关系暗示划线词的含义，考生要将前后两句都读完才能理清语境间内在联系，进而准确的推测出划线词的含义。第卷(共65分)I. 选词填空(共7小题；每小题2分，共14分)用方框中单词的适当形
91、式完成下列句子, 每个单词只能用一次。simple, arrive, lose, response, benefit, hesitate, fog46. A good diet is _ to health.47. Many parents feel a sense of _ when their children leave home for college.48.

93、6题详解】考查形容词。句意：好的饮食习惯对健康有益。通过分析句子成分可知，本句缺少形容词作表语。结合选项翻译此句可知，benefit的形容词形式beneficial“有益的”切题。故填beneficial。【47题详解】考查名词。句意：当孩子们离家去上大学的时候,许多家长都会感觉少了些什么。通过分析句子成分可知，介词of后接名词作宾语，lost的名词形式loss意为“失去”切合题意。故填loss。【48题详解】考查形容词。句意：在这样的大雾天气开车很危险。通过分析句子成分和选项可知，本句缺少形容词作定语，fog的形容词形式foggy意为“有雾的”切题。故填foggy。【49题详解】考查名词。句
94、意：这个害羞的女孩终于带着不确定的微笑犹豫的举起了手。通过分析句子成分和选项可知，本句缺少名词作宾语，hesitate的名词形式hesitation意为“犹豫”切合题意。故填hesitation。50题详解】考查动词。句意：你应该为学生们把复杂的解释简化。通过分析句子结构可知，本句缺少动词作谓语动词。simple的动词形式simplify意为“简化”切题，should后接动词原形，故填simplify。【51题详解】考查名词。句意：请把航班号和抵达时间告诉我，我会去机场接你。the arrival time“到达时间”。故填arrival。【52题详解】考查名词。句意：我发了广告之后得到了充满

With 58. while/but 59. studying 60. would have missed 61. where 62. are praised【解析】【53题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：Jason正在存钱给家人买一栋新房。分析句子结构可知，句中存在be动词is作谓语， (buy) a new house for his family做目的状语，因此使用buy的不定式形式to buy。故填to buy。【54题详解
99、】考查强调句式。句意：人们比以往更重视情商了，相信正是情商才使得我们进步的。分析句子成分可知，EQ gets us promoted是完整句子，故此处是强调句式，结构为“it is+名词+that+句子”，因此使用that组成强调句型。故填that。【55题详解】考查形容词。句意：Steve专注于写新小说，他没有注意到快要黑天了。分析句子成分并翻译语境可知，be absorbed in是固定搭配意为“专注于”切合题意，且句中存在谓语动词didnt notice，因此使用形容词absorbed。故填absorbed。【56题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：在艺术评论中，你必须假设艺术家在作品背后有隐
100、藏着的信息。分析句子结构可知，句中存在谓语动词has，且message与hide之间是被动关系，因此使用hide的过去分词形式hidden。故填hidden。【57题详解】考查介词。句意：考试临近了，我变得越来越忙了。分析句子成分可知，此处使用“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构做状语，故填With。【58题详解】考查连词。句意：在认识的旅途中，你遇到的人可能会让你失望，然而更多的是让你成长。根据句意可知，前后句之间存在转折关系，因此使用while“然而”或but。故填while/but。【59题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我累坏了，熬夜一宿研究今天的项目。分析句子结构可知，句中存在谓语动词st
101、ayed，且I与study之间为主动关系，因此使用study的现在分词形式studying。故填studying。【60题详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：如果那天我没在图书馆遇见Jim，我就会失去找到新朋友的机会了。分析句子成分并翻译语境可知，此处是虚拟语气句，if条件句是对过去的虚拟，主句应使用would have done形式。故填would have missed。【61题详解】考查定语从句。句意：生活就像是一场赛跑，在这次竞赛中我们都在与我们自己比赛。分析句子结构可知，此句是定语从句，先行词是race，在从句中作地点状语，因此使用关系词where引导定语从句。故填where。【62题详解】考
102、查动词时态和语态。句意：表扬不仅会给那些被表扬的人带来快乐，也会给表扬者带来快乐。分析句子成分并翻译语境可知，先行词是those，在定语从句中做主语，故从句谓语动词与those一致，与praise之间为被动关系，结合前后文可知此处使用一般现在时。因此使用praise的一般现在时被动语态形式are praised。故填are praised。【点睛】虚拟语气是高考命题中的难点，变化很多。虚拟语气从本质上看，是主动避开陈述语气的表达，因为陈述语气是已经发生的事情已然的表述，而虚拟语气则表达不可能发生的事情。如小题8，主句中I would have missed the chance of owni
103、ng a true friend，是虚拟后的结果，肯定转为否定可以倒推成陈述语气：I would not miss the chance of owning a true friend；从句可倒推陈述语气为：I had met Jim in the library that day。故原句的陈述语气表达为If I had met Jim in the library that day, I would not miss the chance of owning a true friend，可知此句为下表中的最后一种形式。陈述语气的动词形式虚拟语气中的动词形式am/is/areweredo/do
