On Feb. 9. 2020, Brazilian researchers at Seymour Island reported a temperature of 20. 75℃ on the 【3】 (ice) continent of Antarctica. It was almost 【4】 full degree higher than the previous record of 19.8℃, 【5】 (take) on Signy Island in January 1982.

These higher temperatures can cause ice glaciers (冰川) in Antarctic regions to melt. The glaciers in Discovery Bay, 【6】 the snow melted in little more than a week, have retreaded by more than 100 meters, leaving dark exposed rock. This melted ice leads 【7】 a rise in sea levels that can threaten the 【8】 (safe) of coastal areas.

【解析】

本文是说明文，南极洲测得历史最高温20.75摄氏度。 融化的冰川导致海平面上升，这将威胁到沿海地区的安全。

【1】考查时态。句意：据《卫报》报道，南极出现了有记录以来的首次高温记录，加剧了人们对这个世界上最寒冷地区气候不稳定的担忧。register意思为“显示（读数）”，句子主语the Antarctic和register之间为逻辑上的主动关系；上一句提到“南极洲开始慢慢变暖。”，此处用现在完成时表示对现在的影响或结果。故填has registered。

【2】考查非谓语动词。句意：据《卫报》报道，南极出现了有记录以来的首次高温记录，加剧了人们对这个世界上最寒冷地区气候不稳定的担忧。此处用现在分词作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。根据句意，“南极出现了首次高温记录”，从而“加剧了人们对南极洲气候不稳定的担忧”。故填fueling。

【3】考查形容词。句意：2020年2月9日，在西摩岛的巴西研究人员报告了在冰天雪地的南极洲的气温为20. 75℃。修饰名词continent，应该用形容词形式。故填icy。

【4】考查冠词或数词。句意：这几乎比先前1982年1月在西格尼岛测量的19.8℃的记录高了整整一度。此处用不定冠词a表示数量，意思为“一摄氏度”，可以用数词one表示。故填a/one。

【5】考查非谓语动词。句意：这几乎比先前1982年1月在西格尼岛测量的19.8℃的记录高了整整一度。“the previous record of 19.8℃”和take之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，因此用过去分词作后置定语：take是不规则变化动词，过去分词为taken。故填taken。

【6】考查定语从句关系词。句意：在短短一周多一点的时间里，探索湾的积雪就融化了，那里的冰川已经重新融化了100多米，留下了裸露的黑色岩石。分析句子结构，空后是定语从句，修饰先行词Discovery Bay，应用where引导定语从句，关系词在从句中作地点状语。故填where。

【7】考查固定短语。句意：融化的冰川导致海平面上升，这将威胁到沿海地区的安全。根据句意，应是短语lead to意思为“导致，引起”。故填to。

【8】考查名词。句意：融化的冰川导致海平面上升，这将威胁到沿海地区的安全。在定冠词the后应是名词作宾语。safe是形容词，名词形式为safety。故填safety。

【9】考查固定短语。句意：正如美国作家海明威所说：“地球是美丽的，值得我们为之奋斗。” 此处是短语as sb. put it“正如某人所说的那样”。故填it。

【10】考查被动语态。句意：否则，地球可能被困于我们无法保存的热量中。短语be trapped in “被困于，陷入”；句子主语the Earth和trap之间为逻辑上的被动关系，前面有情态动词may，因此用“be+过去分词”；trap的过去分词需双写p，再加-ed。故填be trapped。

【题目】 In the fall of 2017, when Paula Aldridge needed to get a job, she found herself at a crossroads. The 50-year-old wasn’t sure she would ever work again, due to health issues.

But Aldridge’s life and career journey started to turn around after she connected with Goodwill of Central Iowa’s skills training programs. These programs are tailored to help people develop the kind of specific, real-world skills they need to get and keep a job, through a combination of detailed instruction and hands-on experience.

When Aldridge first connected with Goodwill in September 2017, she was dealing with several barriers to immediate employment. Transportation was challenging, as she didn’t have a driver’s license or own a car. Aldridge also had a limited work history with long employment gaps (间断) , meaning she missed out on learning important skills, such as working a credit card machine. On top of that, her physical health issues were also a problem.

According to Kayleigh Duff, a career specialist at Goodwill of Central Iowa, the biggest barrier Aldridge had to overcome was from within. “She said outwardly that she had all of this confidence and that she knew how strong a worker she was, but I don’t think she truly believed it herself.”

Thankfully, Aldridge had plenty of people on her side to provide motivation and guidance. She originally started off in the food service training program but was eager to enter the retail (零售) skills program, since she had previously worked at the Salvation Army and Subway. When Aldridge mentioned her interest in retail, Duff recognized that her go-getting attitude would be a perfect match for the program.

The seven-week retail skills training is a systematic program combining classroom instruction with on- the-job experience at a Goodwill store. As Aldridge progressed and graduated from the program, she became more confident in her abilities.

Duff said it was great to see how Aldridge grew into the devoted, driven worker she is today. “She has this strong desire, this longing to succeed. And she knows that she’s able to do that, although she has fallen short in the past.”

【1】What can be learned about Goodwill’s training programs?

A.They combine theory with practice.

B.They guarantee a good job for participants.

C.They are designed mainly for the unemployed.

D.They were established in the autumn of 2017.

【2】What was the biggest problem Aldridge faced according to Duff?

A.Poor health.B.Poor working skills.

C.A lack of confidence.D.A lack of a driver’s license.

【3】Why did Aldridge change her training program?

A.She wanted to attend a more systematic program.

B.She wanted to gain some hands-on experience.

C.She was more interested in retail.

D.She followed Duff’s advice.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A.A 50-year-old devotes herself to Goodwill.

B.Goodwill helps a 50-year-old turn her life around.

C.Goodwill training programs spring up around the world.

D.Success is closely linked to appropriate training programs.

【题目】阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Everyone knows that regular exercise is good for the body. But exercise is also one of the most effective 【1】(way) to improve your mental health. Regular exercise can have a profoundly positive influence 【2】 depression, anxiety, and more. It also relieves stress, 【3】(help) you sleep better, and makes you feel happy. Research indicates that no matter how old you are or how fit you are, you can learn to use exercise as a 【4】 (power) tool to feel better.

Sure, exercise can improve your physical health, improve your waistline, 【5】 even add years to your life. So people who exercise 【6】( regular)) tend to do so because it gives them an enormous sense of well-being. They feel more energetic throughout the day, sleep 【7】 (well) at night, have sharper memories, and feel more relaxed and positive about 【8】(they) and their lives.

You can gain all 【10】 physical and mental health benefits of exercise with 30-minute of moderate exercise five times a week. Two 15-minute or even three 10-minute exercise sessions can also work just as well.

Standing desks have been praised for their positive effects on physical health, reducing sitting time and lowering certain health risks linked to a sedentary( 久坐的) lifestyle. But could standing desks have positive mental effects?

New research suggests that students may think best when they are on their feet. It offers some of the first evidence of mental benefits of standing desks in classrooms.

Testing was done on high school freshmen who used standing desks, evaluating them at the beginning and end of the school year. Dr. Ranjana Mehta, an assistant professor at the Texas A&M School of Public Health, led the experiments aiming to assess standing desks’ mental benefits.

Through computerized tests, students’ executive functions were evaluated. Executive functions are the cognitive skills used to analyze tasks and break them into steps, and are directly related to academic needs like time management, memorizing facts and solving multi-step problems. These functions are largely controlled by frontal(前额的) brain regions, so researchers used a portable brain-imaging device to examine any related changes.

“Test results indicated that continued use of standing desks was associated with significant improvements in executive functions and working memory abilities,” Mehta said. “Changes in corresponding brain activation patterns were also observed.”

“Interestingly, our research showed the use of standing desks improved mental function, which is consistent with results from previous studies on school-based exercise programs,” Mehta noted.

Policymakers, public health professionals and school administrators should consider the positive effects of standing desks and make some simple changes in classrooms that will have the potential to increase energy expenditure and develop cognitive skills. That would be a valuable contribution to the educational world.

English was once 【1】 (speak) only by people in a part of Britain. But during the twentieth century, it became a world language-a language used by speakers of many different languages 【2】 (communicate) with each other. 【3】 it is called a “world language”, more than five billion people- most of people on the earth-do not speak English as either their first 【4】 second language. However, hundreds of millions of people use it, and hundreds of millions are learning it. Because so many people learn and use English, it may be hard to imagine that one day English may not be the world’s 【5】 (lead) language. Remember that there were other important languages in the past which lost their 【6】 (important) or even disappeared. In Europe, Latin was used as a common language for many centuries before people stopped using it. French was once a language 【7】 (know) by all well-educated people, and was 【8】 (popular) than English. But since the nineteenth century, English 【9】 (become) more popular than French. Today, many people 【10】 want to learn a new language are learning Chinese, Spanish or Arabic. It may be that, one day, instead of English, another language will be used across the world.

【题目】 During the COVID-19 crisis, even the simple act of buying groceries has been completely transformed. For seniors this task is even more challenging. Concordia University's ACT project team has joined with community partners in the neighbourhood to fill this gap. They've rapidly created a new program-COVID-19 Grocery Response NDG.

The program uses a model that pairs volunteers with seniors, based on availability and language. Those volunteers are trained by ACT's team via video conferencing and then given a list of older adults. The volunteer calls the individuals and takes their order, working with grocer offerings of a Provigo store in the area. When the call is over, the order gets sent to Provigo, which gathers and delivers the order to the senior. It won't take the place of the work of the food bank; seniors are paying for their groceries.

There is also an important social element to the call, which doubles as a friendly check -in. The volunteer chats a bit with the senior, who may be very lonely and anxious. One volunteer says it has also been a rewarding experience and gives her the opportunity to help others while staying at home, which they are all being encouraged to do.

The program is a response to a number of factors, including the fact that many older adults are on a fixed income and may not have the internet access needed to order groceries online. It is targeting seniors who aren't able to access New Hope's usual meals on wheels service.

So far the project is a success, with a growing number of volunteers and seniors. As for what's next, Concordia is optimistic but acknowledges that the team will need to be nimble to accommodate the changing realities of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are at a critical time and we need to do everything we can, together, to help out.

【1】What do the volunteers do to help the seniors?

A.Help them pay the bill.B.Send their order to the store.

C.Write a shopping list for them.D.Deliver their groceries lo the door.

【2】What can we infer about the programme from paragraph 3?

A.It benefits both sides.B.It helps the store survive.

C.It goes beyond expectation.D.It encourages people to purchase online.

【3】Who might be the potential client of the program?

A.Daisy aged 45 with a heavy debt.B.David who enjoys meals on wheels service.

C.Alexander aged 75 with a retirement pension.D.Elspeth who knows noting about online shopping.

【4】What does the underlined word “nimble” probably mean?

A.Flexible.B.Beneficial.

C.Accessible.D.Qualified.
