21、a 62-year old woman who travels in the vast lands of America in order to explore life as a modern-day nomad.” (改编自美国记者杰西卡布鲁德2017年的纪实小说游牧之地:在21世纪的美国幸存,这部电影由女演员 Frances McDormand主演,她是一位62岁的老妇人,游历在美国广袤的土地上,探索现代游牧民族的生活。)可知,Nomadland这部电影讲的是一个老妇人作为一个流浪者在美国探索生活的故事。故选C项。【2题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段内容“With a short yet
22、glittering resume, Zhao, who was born in 1982 and sent to study overseas in 1998, has gained attention from the first film directed by her Songs My Brothers Taught Me in 2015 before accumulating more popularity for the award-winning The Rider in 2017.

24、 Asian woman director to take home the Golden Globe Award for Best Director on Sunday night in Los Angeles, causing a stir among domestic netizens.”(北京出生的赵婷周日晚上在洛杉矶获得了历史性的胜利,成为首位获得金球奖最佳导演奖的亚洲女导演,在国内网民中引起了轰动。) 可知,“赵婷在金球奖上创造历史”作为题目最为恰当。故选A项。【点睛】阅读理解题之细节理解解题要注意:发现细节,十目一行,放慢速度,仔细核对比较,直到找到正确答案。如本文第1题,找出文
25、中提到的“流浪之地电影的介绍”,核对第二段和第三段,认真比较,很容易判断正确答案。BFor some people, theres no better companion than mans best friend-a dog. This four-legged pet can bring comfort and joy and provide much- needed exercise for you when it needs walkies! This probably explains why dog ownership increased last year because peop
26、le spent more time at home during he CovID-I9 lockdown.However, as demand for a new dog increased, so did the price tag. Popular breeds, such as Cockapoos and Cocker Spaniels, saw even sharper price increases, and puppies have been selling for $3,000 or more.Animal welfare charities fear that high p

28、r or registered breeder, theyve proved to be ill-prepared for life with a new pet, and the pet itself has found it hard to come to terms with life in a new home.Looking to the future, there are concerns about the welfare of these much-loved pets. Lan Alkin manager of the Oxfordshire Animal Sanct uar
29、y in the UK, notes: “At the moment, the dogs are having a great time, but separation anxiety could still surface when people go back to work.” And Cliare Calder from the UKs Dogs Trust rescue charity says, “The economic situation also means that some people may find they cant afford to look after a
30、dog.” The message is not to buy a dog in haste and to pick one that fits into our lifestyle.4. The greater demand for dogs can cause the following problems except _.A. illegal trade of dogsB. less dog farmingC. high prices of dogsD. online sale of dogs5. What does the underlined phrasecome to terms

32、e writer advises people to think twice before keeping dogs as pets.【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章表述了越来越多的人想要养狗的现象,但是这也导致了一些问题,比如价格上涨、过度繁殖、走私或盗窃,很多饲养者很不负责任。作者建议人们在养狗之前要三思,挑选一只适合自己生活方式的狗。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Animal welfare charities fear that high prices could encourage puppy farming, smuggling
33、(走私) or dog theft.”(动物福利慈善机构担心,高昂的价格可能会鼓励幼犬养殖、走私或盗窃。)可知,对狗的更大的需求会导致幼犬养殖、走私或盗窃的增加。所以选项B不是会导致的结果。故选B。【5题详解】短语猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“But despite some new owners purchasing a dog legally, maybe from a rescue center or registered breeder, theyve proved to be ill- prepared for life with a new pet”(尽管有些狗的新主人是合法买狗的,
34、可能是从救援中心或注册饲养者那里买的,但事实证明,他们对和新宠物在一起的生活准备不足)和“the pet itself has found it hard to come to terms with life in a new home”是指宠物也无法适应新家的生活。两句为并列句,所以“come to terms with”的意思是“适应”。故选A。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“The message is not to buy a dog in haste and to pick one that fits into our lifestyle.”(我们要传达的信息是,不要匆
35、忙地买狗,而要挑选一只适合我们生活方式的狗。)可知,作者在最后一段建议人们在养狗之前要三思。故选D。CIt is a question people have been asking for ages. Is there a way to turn back the aging process?For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth”. The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink from its waters, you will
36、not age.Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears the answer may be hidden right between your eyes, in an area called the hypothalamus (下丘脑). The hypothalamus is part of your brain. It controls important
37、 activities within the body.Researchers at New Yorks Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that hypothalamus neural (神经的) stem cells also influence how fast aging takes place in the body.What are stem cells(干细胞)?

46、7题详解】推理判断题。通读全文,根据第一段“It is a question people have been asking for ages. Is there a way to turn back the aging process?”等内容可知,本文主要介绍了一项研究发现:下丘脑对衰老过程有控制作用,通过小白鼠试验,人类有望能够延缓衰老。第二段中“The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink from its waters, you will not age.( 如果你找到一个神奇的泉水,喝了里面的水,你就不会变老。
47、)”提到喝了神奇的泉水,不会变老,从而推断提到a “fountain of youth”(“青春之泉”)是为了介绍本文主要话题。故选A项。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第六段中“Cai explained when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost. it eventually leads to aging,(蔡解释说,当下丘脑功能下降时,尤其
48、是下丘脑干细胞的丧失,这种对衰老发育的保护作用丧失。最终会导致衰老。)”可知,当下丘脑神经干细胞不能抵抗衰老时,衰老就会在身体中发生。故选C项。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第七段中“Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate, or energize, the hypothalamus laboratory mice.(利用这些信息,研究人员开始尝试激活或激励下丘脑实验小鼠。)”以及“The researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed
49、aging in the animals, Cai says injecting middle-aged mice with stem cells from younger mice helped the older animals live longer.( 研究人员说,研究结果表明,这样的处理减缓了动物的衰老,蔡说,向中年老鼠注射来自年轻老鼠的干细胞有助于老年动物活得更长。)”可以推知,他们已经找到了一种减缓衰老的可能方法。故选C项。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“If the mice can live longer, does that mean people coul
50、d have longer lives? The next step is to see if the anti-aging effects also work in.(如果老鼠能活得更久,是不是意味着人类也能活得更久?下一步是看看抗衰老效果是否也起作用。)”可以推知,研究人员接下来可能将进行研究,看看他们在老鼠身上的发现是否适用于人类。故选D项。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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Have you ever found that you were able to sleep better with an

59、盖恼人的噪音。)可知,开着空调或电扇的声音和在外面淅淅沥沥下雨的声音就是白色噪音,前文是在对白色噪音用熟悉的例子作说明,所以选项D(如果是这样,那么您已经熟悉了白色噪音的概念。)切合文意。故选D。【12题详解】根据前文“No doubt this ability helped keep our ancestors alive, by warning them of the faint sound made by a fierce animal.”(毫无疑问,这种能力帮助我们的祖先存活下来,因为它能警告他们凶猛动物发出的微弱声音。)可知,此处提到了微弱的声音,根据后文“It keeps us a
60、wake or keeps us from being able to concentrate.”(它让我们保持清醒或无法集中精力。)可知,此处是指对微弱的声音敏感对我们是一个问题,前后构成转折关系,对应选项E中的转折词however,所以选项E(然而,对我们来说,对每一个微小的噪音都很敏感可能是一个问题。)切合文意。故选E。【13题详解】根据后文“So there are no details for the mind to notice. ”(所以没有细节让大脑去注意。)可知,空格处讲的是白色噪音没有细节让大脑去注意的原因,所以选项B(另外,这种音质也没有什么特别的特点。)切合文意。故选B
61、。【14题详解】根据后文“It is popular for helping people sleep, and its also useful for helping students study, or for anyone who needs to concentrate. It calms and comforts babies, and is useful for travelers who find i hard to get to sleep in different environments with their unfamiliar noises. If traffic so
62、unds, ticking clocks, and other peoples conversations are bothering you, white noise can be a good solution.”(它很受欢迎,因为它可以帮助人们睡眠,也可以帮助学生学习,或者帮助任何需要集中注意力的人。它能让婴儿安静舒适,对于那些在不同环境中听到不熟悉的噪音而难以入睡的旅行者来说也很有用。如果交通噪音,滴答的时钟,和其他人的谈话打扰你,白色噪音可以是一个很好的解决方案。)可知,此处是讲白色噪音有很多好处。所以选项A(白色噪音有很多好处。)切合文意。故选A。【15题详解】根据前文“A spe
63、cialized use for white noise is in treating tinnitus (耳鸣). ”(白色噪音的一个特殊用途是治疗耳鸣。)可知,此处是讲白色噪音可以治疗耳鸣,所以选项F(白色噪音通常能立即缓解耳鸣的恼人声音。)切合文意。故选F。第三部分:语言运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节:完形填空(20个小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。For weeks the students had been engaged in careful preparation for the Pa
