In the last seven days I have seen the pressure that the NHS is under. I have seen the personal courage not just of the doctors and nurses but of everyone, the cleaners, the 1(cook), the health care workers of every description-physios, radiographers 2have kept coming to work, kept putting themselves in harm's way, kept 3(risk) this deadly virus. It is thanks to that courage, that devotion, that duty and that love that our NHS has been unbeatable.

The Arctic Ocean in summer will very likely be ice free before 2050, at least temporally. The research team 4 (analyze) recent results from 40 different climate models. Using these models, the researchers considered the future evolution of Arctic sea ice cover in a scenario with high future CO2 emissions and little climate protection. As 5(expect), Arctic sea ice disappeared quickly in summer in these simulations.

However, the new study finds that Arctic summer sea ice also disappears occasionally if CO2 emissions are 6(rapid) reduced.

In order to understand7 bird brains changed, a team of 37 scientists used CT scan data to create endocasts(内腔)of hundreds of birds and dinosaurs, which the8(combine)with a large existing database of brain measurements from modern birds.

They then analyzed brain-body allometry (体形变). “There is no clear line 9the brains of advanced dinosaurs and primitive birds,”10(note) co-author Dr. Amy Balanoff of Johns Hopkins University." Birds like pigeons have the same brains sizes you would expect for a dinosaur of the same body size, and in fact some species like moa(恐鸟) have smaller-than-expected brains.”

【解析】

此题是由三则故事组成的。第一则故事是英国首相鲍里斯治愈出院后的讲话。第二则是讲未来北冰洋的冰在夏天会消失。第三则讲的是探索鸟类的大脑是如何运作的。

1

考查名词单复数。句意:不仅是医生和护士,是每一个个人,包括清洁工和厨师,还包括理疗师、放射师、药剂师等在内的各种类型的医疗工作者。他们不停地工作,始终把自己置于危险的境地。根据句子the cleaners, the ___1___ (cook), the health care workers可知,这里是并列结构,并且前后都使用了名词的复数。所以这里cook也应该用复数形式。故填cooks

2

考查定语从句。句意:不仅是医生和护士,是每一个个人,包括清洁工和厨师,还包括理疗师、放射师、药剂师等在内的各种类型的医疗工作者。他们不停地工作,始终把自己置于危险的境地。在这句话中先行词是workers工人。在定语从句里面,句子没有主语,所以先行词在句子中充当主语的成分,这里又是非限制性定语从句。故填who

3

考查非谓语动词。句意:不仅是医生和护士,是每一个个人,包括清洁工和厨师,还包括理疗师、放射师、药剂师等在内的各种类型的医疗工作者。他们不停地工作,始终把自己置于危险的境地。根据前文kept coming to work, kept putting themselves in harm's way,可知,这里需要使用keep doing,来进行并列。故填risking

4

考查时态。句意:这支研究团队通过对40个气候模型分析出了最近的研究成果。分析这个动作发生在过去,但是分析出来的结果对后面的研究起了影响。也就是说发生在过去对现在造成了影响,所以要用现在完成时。主语team又是单数。故填has organized

5

考查省略句。句意:正如预期那样,在这种刺激下北冰洋的冰在夏季会快速消失。这里应该是北冰洋里的冰,正如预期那样。冰和预期为被动关系,所以完整的句子as it is expectedit指代北冰洋里的冰,和主句的主语相同且谓语动词为be动词,则状语从句中的主语和be动词就可以省略。故填expected

6

考查副词。句意:如果二氧化碳的排放量可以迅速减少的话。这里表达的意思是排放迅速减少,迅速是来修饰减少的。而reduce又是动词词性,所以前面要用副词修饰。故填rapidly

7

考查宾语从句。句意:为了理解鸟类的大脑是如何转变的。在这里从句跟在understand后作宾语就是宾语从句。change做不及动词,宾语从句为主谓结构。这里作方式,要表示“如何”这个含义。故填how

8

考查名词。句意:这里有一个关于各种现代鸟类大脑测量的数据库。空格前是定冠词the,空格后又是with所带的后置定语,所以空格应该填名词形式。故答案填combination

9

考查固定搭配。句意:在高级恐龙的大脑和原始鸟类的大脑之间,并无太大的区别。在这里要表达的意思是“在……之间”。这里只有恐龙和鸟类两者,则为固定搭配between…and。故填between

10

考查时态。句意来自Hopkins University大学的Amy教授这样说道。在这个段落里面都使用的是一般现在时。而这句话中并无明显的时间状语标志,则应该与整段话一致。教授说这句话是主动关系,且主语是单数。故填notes

【题目】 The Mars 2020 rover(02W), which sets off for the Red Planet this year, will not only search for traces of ancient life, but pave the way for future human missions, NASA scientists said Friday as they introduced the vehicle.

The rover has been constructed in a large, sterile room at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, near Los Angeles, where its driving equipment was given its first successful test last week.

Shown to invited journalists on Friday, it is scheduled to leave Earth in July 2020 from Floridas Cape Canaveral, becoming the fifth US rover to land on Mars seven months later in February.

“It's designed to seek the signs of life, so we’re carrying a number of different instruments that will help us understand the geological and chemical context on the surface of Mars,” deputy mission leader Matt Wallace told AFP.

Among the devices on board the rover are 23 cameras, two “ears” that will allow it to listen to Martian winds, and lasers used for chemical analysis.

Approximately the size of a car, the rover is equipped with six wheels like the former US rover, Curiosity, allowing it to travel along rocky land.

Speed is not a priority for the vehicle, which only has to cover around 200 yards(180 metres) per Martian day -approximately the same as a day on Earth.

Fuelled by a tiny nuclear reactor, Mars 202(has seven-foot-long(2 metres) articulated arms and a drill to crack open rock samples in locations scientists identify as potentially suitable for life.

We are hoping to move fairly quickly. We'd like to see the next mission launched in 2026 which will get to Mars and pick up the samples, put them into a rocket and finally bring them back to the Earth, "said Wallace. NASA’s Mars 2020 will remain active for at least one Martian year, which is around two years on Earth.

1What does the underlined part “pave the way” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.Making preparationsB.Finding suitable landing sites

C.Setting up research centers.D.Constructing roads.

2What can we know about the Mars 2020 rover?

A.It looks much like a car with six wheels.

B.It is an updated of the US rover Curiosity.

C.It is solar-powered and can crack open rock samples.

D.It is able to perform different tasks on Mars in search of the signs of life

3If you search the passage on the website of China Daily, where can you probably find it?

A.LifestyleB.Regional

C.WorldD.Culture

4What is the main idea of the passage?

A.The Mars 2020 rover has successfully passed its first driving test.

B.NASA is planning a new round of space exploration

C.Future human missions on Mars are on the way

D.A new rover will be launched to carry out scientific research on Mars

【题目】 Being stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you’re in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK’s largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane(通道) for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.

The Lakeside Shopping Center in Essex has introduced a 720-foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the Christmas rush. The Center’s management team said, “The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don’t want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”

The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the Christmas shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.

Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasn’t surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world. “Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centers tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season,” he said. “I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.

The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include“Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely, “Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers" who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters” who express their frustrations to slow walkers.

1The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who____.

A.can’t move quickly because of physical disabilities

B.buy things on their shopping lists quickly

C.take their time to do window shopping

D.want to leave the mall quickly

2What is Gary Mortimer’s attitude to the fast lane?

A.Supportive.B.Indifferent.

C.Objective.D.Negative.

3Who patiently moves behind a slow crowd?

A.Skaters.B.Dodgers.

C.Bulldozers.D.Tutters.

4What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Shopping can be annoying sometimes.

B.How to avoid “slow walkers” when shopping.

C.The problems that shopping centers face during busy holidays.

D.The shopping mall creates the fast lane to avoid“slow walkers”
