21、d since birth. His parents were told that he only had a 50% chance of survival, and he experienced 11 operations before he was even two years old.Despite being faced with these terrible situations, he survived. Not only that, he exhibited an excellent gift for playing the piano; by the time he was 3
22、 years old, he was playing two-handed piano compositions and writing his own songs without ever having a teacher. At the age of 5, he even could play the songs completely after hearing them one time.Dalia Sakas, the director of New Yorks Filomen M. D Agostino Greenberg Music School,recalls the momen

25、while being exposed to different stimuli,including music,and then while he played on a keyboard.What Dr.Limb was surprised to find was that Whitaker s brain seemed to have repurposed its own disused visual cortex(视觉皮质）in order to build other neurological(神经系统的）pathways. Even when Whitaker was simply

31、后一句话“”Now only 18 years old,Whitaker has since toured the world,headlined famous sites from Carnegie Hall to Kennedy Center,and won a number of music awards.现在只有18岁的惠特克已经环游世界，在从卡内基音乐厅到肯尼迪中心的音乐表演上领衔，并赢得了许多音乐奖项。”可知，马修在他18岁的时候已经完成了全球演出，赢得了许多奖项，所以在他18岁的时候在音乐上已经获得成功。故选D。2.细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Such is the heig
32、ht of Whitaker s talent that he caught the attention of Dr. Charles Limb, a neurologist who also happens to be a fellow musician.Dr.Limb was attracted by what might have been going on inside Whitaker s brain, so with the permission of the musician and his family, Whitaker took two MRI exams - first
33、while being exposed to different stimuli,including music,and then while he played on a keyboard.”（惠特克的才华如此之高，引起了神经学家查尔斯林姆博士的注意，他恰好也是一位音乐家。利普博士被惠特克的大脑内部可能发生的事情所吸引，所以在惠特克和他家人的允许下，他带惠特克r做了两次核磁共振检查第一次是在不同的刺激下，包括音乐，然后是在键盘上弹奏。）可知，Dr. Limb对惠特克感兴趣的是惠特克的大脑对音乐的反应。故选A。3.细节理解题。根据倒第二段第一句“What Dr.Limb was surpris
34、ed to find was that Whitaker s brain seemed to have repurposed its own disused visual cortex(视觉皮质）in order to build other neurological(神经系统的）pathways.”（令利普博士惊讶的是，他发现惠特克的大脑似乎重新利用了自己被废弃的视觉皮层，以建立其他的神经通路。）和最后一段第一句“When Dr.Limb presented Whitaker with his brain scans showing how his brain lit up when he
35、listened to music, the musician was amazed.”（当利普博士向惠特克展示他的大脑扫描图时，扫描图显示当他听音乐时，他的大脑是如何活跃起来的，这让这位音乐家很惊讶。）可知，利普博士和惠特克对这个检查结果是震惊的，没有预料到的，故选B。3.主旨大意题。文章第一、二、三段讲述了惠特克从小眼盲，但是是一个天才少年，在十八岁时就在音乐上取得了巨大成功，后三段讲述了利普博士因为好奇而对他的大脑进行了扫描检测，发现了令人惊讶的结果。所以标题应为“一位科学家研究一位18岁的盲人钢琴演奏者的大脑”，故选C。CDenmark is only about half the s
36、ize of South Carolina, but it produces more of its electricity from wind than any other country in the world. Thats not because its a particularly breezy country; it has pretty ordinary average wind speeds. The reason the Danes now get 47% of their electricity from wind,with more to come,comes down
37、to a combination of history and policy.First, the history: Paul la Cour was a scientist and inventor who experimented with and engineered early wind power machines at the start of the 20th century. So its not surprising that Denmark spent money developing wind power early, beginning at a national le
38、vel in the 1970s.In the 1980s,due to a strong grassroots movement disagreeing with nuclear power plants, Denmark increased production before many other countries were even considering it.Denmark has also had significant government support for wind-energy projects, as well as support from the country
39、s technology-focused universities. Even back in 2002, the country was taking climate change warnings seriously, aiming to cut fossil-fuel emissions by 20 percent, which it did via renewable energy investment and implementation.Some of the worlds largest companies in the area - including Vestas, whic
40、h builds turbines, and Orsted, which specializes in offshore wind projects - are Danish,so the country has an impact beyond its borders.The great impact of Denmarks wind-energy business is important because its a small country, so while an almost 50% rate of electricity from wind is admirable, its a
41、lso small in terms of overall global impact.While Denmark gets almost half of its electricity needs covered from 5,758 megawatts (MW) of capacity, Spains 23,000 MTW covers just 18 percent of its electricity supply as its a much bigger country. China is the leader in wind energy at 221,000 MW,and the
42、 U.S. comes second in the world at about 96,000 MW.Denmarks long support for wind-energy technology and its policies made in support of wind energy have proven this approach can work to decarbonize the economy, even on a bigger scale.At the end of 2019, lawmakers in Denmark set a new goal: increasin
43、g the percentage of electricity sourced from renewable power to 100%.8. What can we learn about Denmark in developing wind power?A. It has the advantage of strong winds.B. Its weather conditions are unfavorable.C. It is experienced in this area.D. It met with strong disagreement at first.9. The four
44、th paragraph mentions two companies to showA. the bright future of the wind power businessB. the fierce competition in the area of wind powerC. Denmarks dependence on the wind-energy businessD. Denmarks international status in the wind-energy business10. Which country produces the most wind power?A.
45、 The U.S.B. Denmark.C. Spain.D. China.11. What is indicated in the last paragraph?A. A hopeful future of the green economy.B. The urgent need to develop wind energy worldwide.C. A long way to go to full dependence on clean energy.D. Wind energys leading role as a form of renewable power.【答案】8. C 9.
46、D 10. D 11. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文，用生动易懂的语言为读者讲述了丹麦风力发电产业相关的知识与情况，以及丹麦在世界风能发电产业中所处的位置与作出的贡献。【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Thats not because its a particularly breezy country; it has pretty ordinary average wind speeds. ”（这并不是因为它是一个特别微风习习的国家;它的平均风速非常普通。）可知，丹麦的风力并不强，所以选项A错，排除A；根据第二段最后一句“In the 1980s,due to a strong
47、grassroots movement disagreeing with nuclear power plants, Denmark increased production before many other countries were even considering it.”（在20世纪80年代，由于一场反对核电站的强大草根运动，丹麦在许多国家还没有考虑之前就提高了产量。）可知，人们反对的是核动力工厂，所以选项B错，排除B；根据文章第二段第一句“Paul la Cour was a scientist and inventor who experimented with and eng
48、ineered early wind power machines at the start of the 20th century. ”（保罗拉库尔是一名科学家和发明家，他在20世纪初试验和设计了早期风力发电机。）可知，科学家、发明家拉库厄在二十世纪初就已经试验过早期的风力机器。即在此方面富有经验。所以选项C正确。故选C。2.推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“so the country has an impact beyond its borders”（因此，这个国家的影响力超出了国界）可知，so表示因果关系，所以第四段提及两个公司是为了表明丹麦在风能行业的国际地位，故选D。3.细节理解题。
49、根据文章倒数第二段最后一句“China is the leader in wind energy at 221,000 MW,and the U.S. comes second in the world at about 96,000 MW.”（中国以22.1万兆瓦的风力发电位居世界第一，美国以约9.6万兆瓦的风力发电位居世界第二。）可知，中国在风能方面具有领头羊的地位，产出了最多的风能。故选D。4.推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“At the end of 2019, lawmakers in Denmark set a new goal: increasing the percentag
50、e of electricity sourced from renewable power to 100%.”（到2019年底，丹麦的立法者们制定了一个新的目标:将可再生能源发电的比例提高到100%。）可知，最后一段暗示了一个绿色经济的有希望的未来。故选A。DIn an interview in 1958 Ermest Hemingway made an admission that has inspired novelists ever since:The final words of A Farewell to Arms, his wartime classic, were rewritt
51、en “39 times before I was satisfied.Those endings have never been published together in their entirety, according to his longtime publisher, Scribner.A new edition of A Farewell to Arms, will be released soon, including all the different endings, with early drafts of other passages in the book. The
52、new edition concludes that the 39 endings that Hemingway referred to are really more like 47. They have been kept in the Ernest Hemingway Collection at the John F.Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston since 1979. The endings are named and gathered in an appendix in the new edition, a 330
53、-page book whose cover uses the novels original artwork.For readers of Hemingway the endings are a fascinating look into how the novel could haveended with different endings. And since most modern authors produce their work on computers, the new edition also serves as an artifact,with handwritten no

They do give insight into how Hemingway was thinking, but no matter how much you analyze a classic bit of writing,you can never really figure out what makes talent work.said Patrick Hemingway,who is 84.Susan Moldow, the publis
56、her of Scribner, says that Hemingway is an all-time strong seller. After reading the various endings,Ms.Moldow added, she didnt question the authors decision; the ending has stood the test of time. She said,I think we have to be glad that he chose the ending in line with his Style.12. What can we kn

60、解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了Scribner即将出版一本新书，书中包括海明威当时为“A Farewell to Arm”这本书所写的不同的结尾及多个书名，并写出了不同的人对这本书的出版的评价。【12题详解】细节理解题。从文章第一段中“The final words of A Farewell to Arms, his wartime classic, were rewritten “39 times before I was satisfied.（他的战时经典作品永别了，武器的最后几句话被重写了“39遍才满意”。）”可知，海明威为了给他的作品一个令人满意的结尾，尝试了39遍。故选C项。【1
61、3题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中” The new edition concludes that the 39 endings that Hemingway referred to are really more like 47.( 新版本总结出当年海明威提到的39个结尾实际上差不多是47个。)”可知选项A正确；根据第三段中的“the new edition also serves as an artifact,with handwritten notes and long passages crossed out”可知新版本中有手写的笔记和被划掉的长篇文章。所以B项正确；根据第四段“Hem
62、ingway also left behind a list of titles, like World Enough and Time, Of Wounds and Other Causes,The Enchantment,and etc,which are reprinted in the new edition.（海明威还留下了一系列的书名，如足够的世界与时间、创伤与其他原因、魅力等，这些都在新版中重印。）”可知选项C正确；根据第二段最后一句中的“a 330-page book whose cover uses the novels original artwork.（这本330页的书的
63、封面使用了小说的原始插图。）”可知，新版本的封面使用了原始小说的插图，并不包括海明威创作的一件工艺品的照片。故选D项。【14题详解】推理判断题。从倒数第二段中的“They do give insight into how Hemingway was thinking（它们确实让我们了解了海明威的想法）”可知，Patrick Hemingway认为这本书的出版可以帮助读者更全面地了解海明威的想法，可见对这本书的出版是持肯定态度的。A选项“出版新版本被认为是一个好主意”描述正确。故选A项。【15题详解】推理判断题。A. Ironic.讽刺的；B. Classic.经典的；C. Average.普通
64、的；D. Interesting.有趣的。从最后一段中“she didnt question the authors decision; the ending has stood the test of time.（她没有质疑作者的决定;结局经受住了时间的考验。）”可知，Susan Moldow认为海明威为作品选择的结局是经得住时间的考验的，是经典的。故选B项。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。A few years ago,a Finnish app took the mobile gaming

73、B 20. D【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了以愤怒的小鸟为代表的一系列简单却有趣的游戏的风靡，以及后来好莱坞将它们搬上荧幕所带来的问题。【16题详解】上文“Its set-up was simple and its idea illogical”说愤怒的小鸟的设置很简单，但理念却不合逻辑。后文“Shortly after Angry Birds took off, audiences found a new distraction in Fruit Ninja, a game where the object was to chop falling produce, and then Ca
74、ndy Crush.”又说在愤怒的小鸟风靡之后不久，又出现了像水果忍者和糖果粉碎传奇这样的新的分散注意力的游戏。选项E中的“It”指代Angry Birds，“other equally silly, equally addictive games”指代后文的水果忍者和糖果粉碎传奇这样简单无逻辑却让人上瘾的手机游戏。所以E项中的内容起到了承上启下的作用。故选E项。【17题详解】由后文“They were knowingly ridiculous or illogical, an attack into mindless amusement. In games like Angry Birds,
75、 players found an escape from reality.”可知，像愤怒的小鸟这种游戏尽管看上去十分荒谬且没有逻辑，但却可以给人逃离现实的放松。看得出这是在对前文的进一步解释，所以空格处应当是在对游戏的意义或者游戏的魅力进行探讨。C项中的these games指的就是愤怒的小鸟这一类的游戏，且“made absolutely no sense ”与 后文的“ridiculous or illogical”一致，故选C项。【18题详解】由上文“Meanwhile, the games nonsense had to be made sense of due to a neces
76、sary plot for a movie.（与此同时，由于电影的必要情节，游戏中的无稽之谈必须被理解。）”可知，好莱坞把愤怒的小鸟搬上了大荧幕，再根据下文“Hollywood has made an industry of answering the questions no one ever thought to ask（好莱坞已经形成了一个回答没人想过要问的问题的产业）”可知好莱坞已经创建了一个巨大的产业，选项A中说愤怒的小鸟并不是唯一将灰色地带描绘在大屏幕上的电影。 起到了承上启下的过渡作用，big screen与上文Hollywood 相对应，not alone与下文made an
77、industry 相对应，故选A项。【19题详解】根据下文“Viewers no longer have the luxury of imagining back-stories for their favorite characters, or debating the open-ended questions in a films source materials:An endless flow of prequels(前传），sequels(续传）and spin-offs(衍生产品）fill in those blanks for them.”可知，观众再也没有机会想象他们喜爱的主角的
78、背后的故事，也没办法讨论开放式的问题，因为无穷无尽的前传、续传和延伸产品填补了一切的空白。显然作者的态度是抨击好莱坞的不留悬念的做法。选项B中说“好莱坞在满足观众好奇心的同时，也在杀死这些好奇心。” 是作者对好莱坞一系列行为的评价，符合作者的观点，故选B项。【20题详解】根据下文“Theyll know. Everything will be determined for them: According to the movie, the main bird Red gets picked on for his bushy eyebrows, and that leaves him feeli
79、ng isolated and, well, angry.（他们会知道的。一切都将替他们来决定：根据电影，主角红鸟因为他浓密的眉毛被挑了出来，这让他感到孤立和愤怒。）”可知，这是在解释小鸟脾气坏的原因，选项D中“When children today play Angry Birds, they wont wonder why the birds are so ill-tempered.（今天的孩子玩愤怒的小鸟的时候，他们不会奇怪为什么小鸟的脾气这么坏。）”正好提到了“为什么小鸟的脾气这么坏”这一疑问，空后的They指代的就是D项中的children，故选D项。第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，

91、 D.abrupt突然的。从下文可以看出，因为缺乏亲生父母的教导，这个过程非常的困难、非常艰辛，所以此处选择slow。故选B。5.考查动词词义辨析。句意：在笼子里，你无法训练它们知道在哪里、何时以及如何找到食物，也无法训练它们找到有好的筑巢地点的树。A.elect选举； B.swap交换； C.assess评价； D.train训练。根据“know where,when and how to find that food, or about trees with good nest sites”可知，将出生在笼子里的鸟放回野外需要训练。故选D。6.考查名词词义辨析。句意：在野外，父母会教给孩子
92、这些重要的信息。A.brochure手册； B.seminar讨论会； C.framework框架； D.information信息。此处是指前文提到的“在哪里、何时以及如何找到食物”、“有好的筑巢地点的树”，这些都是信息。故选D。7.考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：文化知识可以从老一辈传给下一代。A.passed down传递； B。taken up占据； C.followed up跟随； D.put together组装。根据“from the older generation to the newer one”可知，此处是讲文化知识可以从老一辈传给下一代。故选A。8.考查名词词义辨析。句意：

Due to its rich imagery, the poem is regarded as one of the _36_（hard) poems to explain and tr

The big number of strings, which might not be the real number, _37_(be) mentioned to show his feeling. With so many strings, his zither creates complicated tones, _38_(suggest) the sorrow an
99、d depression the poet feels. The reality is so cruel that he wishes everything _39_happened was untrue. In this part, he uses four Chinese ancient _40_(myth) and legends: Zhuangzi, a philosopher, dreams of being a butterfly and couldnt distinguish dream _41_reality; the ancient emperor Wang becomes

He wrote about his regret toward the passing years and the helplessness of being unable to change anything, even if he _45_(give) the chance to live those years again.【答案】36. hardest 37. is 38
102、. suggesting 39. that 40. myths 41. from 42. a 43. to reach. 44. dissatisfaction 45. were/was given【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章分析了唐代诗人李商隐的锦瑟这首诗。【36题详解】考查形容词最高级。句意：由于其丰富的意象，这首诗被认为是最难解释和翻译的诗歌之一。固定短语“one of the +形容词最高级+复数名词”意为：最的之一。所以此处应填hardest。【37题详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：作者提到琴弦的数量来表明他的感受，这些数量可能并不是实际的数量。这里要解释诗歌第一句“锦瑟无端五十
103、弦”的含义，描述诗歌作品中的事情应该用一般现在时；这个句子的主语是the big number，是单数形式，所以谓语动词也应该用单数形式。故填is。【38题详解】考查现在分词。句意：由于琴弦太多，他的古筝产生了复杂的音调，暗示着诗人所感受到的悲伤和压抑。句子的谓语动词是creates，所以此空应填非谓语动词，suggest与主语his zither是主动关系，所以应填现在分词做伴随状语。故填suggesting。【39题详解】考查定语从句的关系代词。句意：现实如此残酷，他希望所发生的一切都是不真实的。先行词是everything（不定代词），且在从句中做主语，当定语从句的先行词是不定代词且从句
104、缺主语或宾语时，定语从句只能由that引导。故填that。【40题详解】考查名词的数。句意：在这一部分中，他使用了四个中国古代神话传说。myth是可数名词，前面有four修饰，故填myths。【41题详解】考查固定短语。句意：哲学家庄子梦想成为一只蝴蝶，不能区分梦境和现实。固定短语distinguish A from B 意为：区分A和B。故填from。【42题详解】考查冠词。句意：前三个故事都营造了一种悲伤的气氛。atmosphere意为：气氛，氛围，是可数名词。此处泛指“一种悲伤的气氛”，应使用不定冠词，sad是以辅音音素开头的词，应使用a。故填a。【43题详解】考查不定式。句意：最后一个
105、传说虽然描述了一个美丽的场景，但它很难触及，暗示了绝望。在“名词/代词）+be easy/hard/fit等形容词+不定式结构”中，不定式用主动形式表达被动含义，这时可以看成省略了动词逻辑主语for us, for me, for him等。此处表达尽管场景美丽，但是对于诗人来说是很难达到的。故填to reach。【44题详解】考查名词。句意：事实上，李所选择的四个故事表明了他对自己生活的不满。根据提示词satisfy（满意，满足），再结合实际情况可知，诗人对自己的生活并不满意。空前有Lis这个所有格形式，所以本空应该填名词形式。故填dissatisfaction。【45题详解】考查动词的语态
106、和虚拟语气的时态。句意：他写下了自己对逝去岁月的遗憾，以及即使有机会再活一次，也无法改变任何事情的无奈。从语态来说，句子的主语是he，与give之间是被动关系；从时态来讲，如果把even if引导的从句当让步状语从句，则从句的时态不用虚拟，按照实际情况用一般过去时即可。如果把even if引导的从句当虚拟条件状语从句，则从句的谓语动词需用“were式或were to+不定式”。本文在第一段中说锦瑟这首诗是最难解释和翻译的诗歌之一，所以本文作者对于诗歌内容所传递的信息也不能完全确定。即，作者也不能确定李商隐在诗歌中所描述的情况到底是确有其事还是虚拟假设，故填were/was given。第四部分

When the father finished his run, he headed to the parking lot to wait for his son. However, Nicholas never showed up.It turned out that a fierce snowstorm had swept into the
117、area as Nicholas was on his way down. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path and ventured down the west side of the mountain. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost and all alone. His way back to the ski trails was blocked. Whats worse, he didnt have any food or water with him, let alo

119、 help himself out. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop moving around. He needed the energy, and the winds werent as strong in the valley where he stood as they were up on the mountain. Plus, there was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first
120、 thing he did was to seek shelter from the freezing wind and snow. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.When evening came, Nicholas was reall
121、y hungry. He ate some snow and drank some water from nearby stream so that he wouldnt dehydrate (脱水）。 Then he returned to his cave and slept.Paragraph 1:When Nicholas didnt show up, his father realized there must be something wrong._Paragraph 2:The next day,Nicholas heard the sound of a snowmobile._
