As an adult, I realized that I had no skills, so I went to trade school. I entered a cabinetmaking (家具制造) program. I didn’t think I would be good at building furniture. I’m not handy. Nobody in my family is.
I had great teachers, but making furniture is hard. There are so many steps and something can go wrong at each one. I couldn’t even get organized. My toolbox always looked like a hurricane had gone through it.
I didn’t fully know what I was devoting myself to at the beginning, but I kept going to class. I tried to wrap my brain around the math. The projects forced me to solve new kinds of problems. My brain started to build new connections. Working in this new physical manner and giving it 100 percent of my effort had huge benefits for my mental health. I got over fear of embarrassment and asked for help at every opportunity.
I spent that year truly learning. True learning is a humbling (令人谦卑的) experience, especially for those of us who are learning a new set of skills. I could understand exactly what was wrong with the furniture I made, but I couldn’t fix my mistakes. And yet, I kept trying. And failing. And failing again. Until I learned to fail better.
You’re going to be bad at anything when you start out, but I was pretty bad right to the end. Even so, I finished the program — with honors, no less! My grades were helped by my good written work. Having to constantly push beyond my comfort zone has made me a more well-rounded person. Maybe most importantly, trade school gave me a more realistic idea of my strengths and limitations. I’m stronger than I thought!
24. Why did the author sign up for the cabinetmaking program?
A. To make more friends. B. To develop new skills.
C. To get more organized. D. To become a handy designer.
25. Which words can best describe the author during the one-year learning?
A. Hard-working and confident. B. Intelligent and creative.
C. Single-minded and determined. D. Modest and flexible.
26. What can we know about the author?
A. He got a poor grade on hand work. B. He feared to socialize with strangers.
C. He was skilled in solving math problems. D. He once got tired of the difficult lessons.
27. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Learning is more than a skill.
C. Failure teaches success. D. Skills will never be a burden.
C
Every animal species carries unique viruses that have specifically adapted to infecting it. Over time, some of these have jumped to humans — these are known as “zoonotic” viruses.
As the population grows, we move into wild areas, which brings us into more frequent contact with animals we don’t normally have contact with. Thus viruses can jump from animals to humans and they can spread between humans, through close contact with body fluids (体液) like blood or urine.
Because every virus has evolved to target a particular species, it’s rare for a virus to be able to jump to another species. When this does happen, it’s by chance, and it usually requires a large amount of contact with the virus.
Initially, the virus is usually not well-suited to its new host and doesn’t spread easily. Over time, however, it can evolve in the new host to produce variants that are better adapted.
When viruses jump to a new host, a process called zoonosis, they often cause more severe disease. This is because viruses and their initial hosts have evolved together, and the species has time to build up resistance. The new host species, on the other hand, might not have evolved the ability to tackle (应对) the virus. For example, when we come into contact with bats and their viruses, we may develop rabies or Ebola virus disease, while the bats themselves are less affected.
It’s likely that bats are the original source of three recently emerged coronaviruses: SARS-
CoV (2003), MERS-CoV (2012) and SARS-CoV-2. All of these jump from bats to humans via an intermediate animal; in the case of SARS-CoV-2, this may have been pangolins (穿山甲), but more research is needed.
28. Why is it rare for a virus to infect another species?
A. The new host can deal with the virus.
B. The new species builds up resistance.
C. Every virus can’t adapt to the new species.
D. Each virus develops to target a specific species.
29. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A. The resistance of the old species.
B. The ability of the new host species.
C. The process of the viral infection.
D. The reason for the virus variation.
30. Which of the following viruses are most likely to host in pangolins?
A. SARS-CoV. B. SARS CoV-2. C. Not mentioned. D. MERS CoV.
31. What can we infer from the text?
A. Humans should not move into wild areas.
B. Wild animals are actually our best friends.
C. A virus can spread from animals to humans.
D. A virus can vary to infect another species.
D
Although social media allow us to become more connected to other people than at any time in history, a new study suggests that many Americans feel lonelier than ever before, which is weakening the nation’s mental and physical health.
The study conducted by the health insurer Cigna, found widespread loneliness, with nearly half of Americans reporting they feel alone, or left out at least some of the time. The nation’s 75 million millennials (ages 23 — 37) and Generation Z adults (ages 18 — 22) are lonelier than older generations. Besides, 54% of people surveyed said they feel no one knows them well, and four in ten reported they “lack companionship”, their “relationships aren’t meaningful” and they “are isolated (孤立的) from others”.
Douglas Nemecek, MD, Cigna’s chief medical officer for Behavioral Health, said the findings of the study suggest that the problem has become common, equaling the risks caused by tobacco and the nation’s ever-expanding waistline. “Loneliness has the same influence on health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, while obesity (肥胖) less than 10 cigarettes a day,” he said in releasing the report.
Nemeceks comments tallied with those of other leading public health specialists, including former Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy, MD, who said loneliness should be targeted in public health campaigns like those designed to fight against smoking and obesity. “During my years caring for patients, the worst disease I saw was not heart disease diabetes; it was loneliness,” Murthy said in a recent cover story in the Harvard Business Review.
The new report, produced in Cigna’s partnership with the polling company Ipsos, is based on an online survey of more than 20,000 US adults using the well-regarded UCLA Loneliness Scale to see how widespread loneliness is in America.
32. What does the study conducted by Cigna find?
A. Older Americans feel much lonelier.
B. Social media do people more harm than good.
C. People become more connected to each other.
D. Social media increase levels of Americans’ loneliness.
33. Which opinion might Douglas Nemecek support?
A. Loneliness is not so harmful as smoking.
B. Loneliness is taken seriously by the public.
C. Loneliness is more dangerous than obesity.
D. Loneliness is targeted in public health campaigns.
34. What does the underlined phrase “tallied with” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Agreed with. B. Varied with. C. Contradicted. D. Inspired.
35. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To discuss health problems. B. To present findings of a recent study.
C. To warn people about social media use. D. To show threats to Americans’ health.

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。
Exposure to different cultures is one of the main reasons I enjoy visiting other countries. There are other types of food, interesting people, new experiences. 36
A country usually has its own money, such as RMB in China, rupee in India, and rufiyaa in Maldives. 37 This can make travel among such countries much easier and more convenient. In my opinion, however, I like having different kinds of money to use and get used to that while I travel. 38 When I visited Thailand and Vietnam last month, getting used to the fact that ₤1 is equal to over 42 Thai baht and 27,000 Vietnamese dong was also quite a good test for my maths skills!
If you’ve ever been to the U.K., you will know the Queen’s head is on every banknote and every coin. I was living in the Quebec province of Canada last year and money there surprised me greatly. 39 This is because she’s also Canada’s Head of State. Images on the Canadian money are various, including former prime ministers, as well as Canadian wildlife like the beaver, caribou and polar bear.
40 Wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill appears on ₤5 banknotes and writer Jane Austen ₤10 banknotes. The banknotes are also made of a material called polymer rather than paper. In Canada, they are already using polymer banknotes and some people even think that the money smells of maple syrup (枫糖浆)，probably the country’s most well-known food!
A. There are new historical figures on the pound notes.
B. They have the British Queen on their $20 banknotes.
C. Money represents preference and development of a county.
D. Of course, there’re many countries using euros or US dollars.
E. You will also be amazed by the images on the money.
F. One more thing to mention in a new country is a different currency.
G. It’s part of the cultural experience to hold money with a foreign figure.

第一部分 听力
1—5 BCCAA 6—10 BABBC 11—15 CBCAA 16—20 BBCCC
第二部分 阅读理解
第一节
A篇 本文为一篇应用文，主要介绍了四个可以学习音乐和舞蹈的地方。
21. D 考查推理判断。根据Performing Arts部分的“Representing professional dance and opera companies in the city, the Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts(TAPA)..., available for more guidance.”可知，TAPA会提供演出的相关信息，并且有自己的应用程序和电话服务，由此可推断，TAPA提供的是有关演出的服务。故选D项。
22. B 考查细节理解。根据Theatre部分的“the Globus Theatre... It creates partnerships with theatre companies in various countries, and shows diverse theatre for communities”可知，Globus Theatre与不同国家的戏剧公司合作，会提供来自世界各地的表演。
23. C 考查细节理解。根据Orchestral Music(管弦乐)部分的“... as is the Ontario Philharmonic in Oshawa, with a solid season of excellent traditional music”可知，Ontario Philharmonic有一整季的优秀传统音乐演出，因此那些爱好古典作品的人会更喜欢去这里。
B篇 本文是一篇记叙文，主题语境是人与自我。为了学习技能，作者参加了家具制造的课程。虽然到结课时，作者的家具制造技能仍然不好，但是在这一年的学习过程中，他还是领悟到了许多其他的东西。
24. B 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“As an adult, I realized that I had no skills, so I went to trade school.”可知，作为成年人，作者没有一技之长，因此他才决定去上职业学校。由此可知，他是为了学习新技能。
25. C 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“I didn’t fully know what I was devoting myself to at the beginning, but I kept going to class.” “giving 100 percent of my effort”，以及第四段中的“I kept trying”和第五段中的“I finished the program — with honors, no less”可知，作者全身心地投入到制造家具的课程中，虽然工具总是摆不齐、经常犯错，但仍然没有放弃，故选C项。hard-working “努力的”，determined “意志坚定的”。
26. A 考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“I was pretty bad right to the end” “I finished... My grades were helped by my good written work”可知，作者到结课时制作家具的技能还是不好，取得的成绩主要得益于其出色的书面作业，故可知作者的手工作业成绩不好。
27. B 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Working in this new physical manner... I got over my fear of embarrassment and asked for help at every opportunity.”，第四段中的“True learning is a humbling (令人谦卑的) experience” “I learned to fail better”和第五段中的“Having to constantly push beyond my comfort zone... I’m stronger than I thought!”可知，作者在学习技能的同时促进了自己的心理健康，克服了对尴尬的恐惧，变得谦逊，而且迈出了舒适区，最重要的是对自己的优劣势有了更现实的认识。由此可知，作者这一年不仅仅是学习了技能，还有了多方面的收获，故选B项。
C篇 本文是一篇说明文，从科学认知的角度说明了病毒从动物到人的传播途径以及病毒发
生变异的情况。该话题属于《考试大纲》所列话题中的“健康”以及“热点话题”。
28. D 考查细节理解。由文章第三段第一句“Because every virus has evolved to target a particular species, it’s rare for a virus to be able to jump to another species.”可知，每种病毒都以某个特定物种为攻击目标，所以病毒很难从一个物种跨越到另一个物种，故D项正确。根据第五段中的“The new host species... might not have evolved the ability to tackle(应对) the virus.”可知，新宿主还不能应对病毒，故A项错误；新物种尚未产生抵抗力，故B项错误； “并非每种病毒都不能适应新物种”，文中无信息支撑，故C项错误。
29. D 考查主旨大意。由文章第五段第一句可知，病毒寄存到新的宿主身上后，将会导致更加严重的疾病；再根据后半段的解释可知，此段主要说的是病毒变异的原因，故D项正确。A项“原物种的抵抗力”、B项“新宿主物种的能力”以及C项“病毒感染的过程”均不符合本段大意。
30. B 考查细节理解。通过文章最后一段中的“in the case of SARS-CoV-2, this may have been pangolins (穿山甲)”可知，穿山甲可能是病毒SARS-CoV-2传播的中间宿主。
31. C 考查推理判断。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了病毒能够从动物传播到人类，故C项正确。A项“人类不应该迁移到荒凉的地区”的说法过于极端，不能因为害怕病毒就阻止社会发展，故表述错误；B项“野生动物其实是我们最好的朋友”不是本文所要传达的信息；D项信息与原文不符，病毒是在新的宿主身上才逐渐变异的，而不是为了传染其他物种才变异的。
D篇 本文是一篇说明文，主题语境是人与社会。文章介绍了一项研究的成果：尽管社交媒体让我们比历史上任何时候都更容易与人建立起联系，但是许多美国人感到比以往任何时候都孤独。
32. D 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“a new study suggests that many Americans feel lonelier than ever before”可知，新的研究发现社交媒体让美国人变得更加孤独。
33. C 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Loneliness has the same influence on health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, while obesity (肥胖) less than 10 cigarettes a day”可知，孤独对健康的影响相当于每天吸15支烟的影响，而肥胖对健康的影响相当于每天吸不到10支烟的影响。由此可推知，孤独比肥胖更危险。
34. A 考查词义猜测。根据上文提到的Nemecek的言论和下文中的“those of other leading public health specialists... loneliness should be targeted in public heath campaigns like those designed to fight against smoking and obesity”以及“the worst disease I saw was not heart disease or diabetes; it was loneliness”可知，此处表示Nemecek的言论与其他一些健康专家的言论是一致的，故选A。
35. B 考查写作目的。根据文章内容尤其是文章首尾两段呼应可知，本文主要介绍了一项新研究的结果：尽管社交媒体使得人们更易与他人产生联系，但许多美国人却感到比以往任何时候都要孤独。
第二节
这是一篇说明文，主题语境是“人与社会”。作者讲述了他喜欢去别的国家旅游以从新鲜事物中接触不同的文化，货币就是其中之一，通过不同国家的货币可以了解他们的文化和历史。
36. F 上文提到“There are other types of food, interesting people, new experiences.”，下文讲述各个国家的货币，F项“One more thing to mention in a new country is a different currency.”承上启下，符合题意。
37. D 根据空后的“This can make travel between such countries much easier and more convenient.”可知，空处是导致这个结果的原因。D项中提及“很多国家使用欧元或美元”，这正是给人们旅游带来便利的原因。
38. G 结合上文中的“I like having different kinds of money to use and get used to that while I travel.”以及下文作者去泰国和越南用当地的货币可知，作者认为通过使用不同的货币可以了解当地的文化，G项正是说明这一点。
39. B 结合上文提到的“the Queen’s head is on every banknote and every coin”和下文中“This is because she’s also Canada’s Head of State”可知，英国的货币上有女王的头像，同时英国女王也是加拿大的国家元首，所以空处表示加拿大的货币上也有女王头像，B项符合语境。
40. A 下一句提到丘吉尔(的头像)出现在了5英镑纸币上，作家简·奥斯汀(的头像)出现在了10英镑的纸币上，再结合第三段提到“如果你到过英国，你就知道女王的头像出现在所有的纸币和硬币上”可知，此处应表示英镑上出现了新的人物形象。
第三部分 语言知识运用
第一节
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了美国小姑娘Carly筹款援建小学的故事，体现了Carly及其家人不畏困难，为了心中的目标坚定前行的精神品质。人性的光辉是人类永恒的话题，其中的平等博爱更是为世人所津津乐道。
41. B 考查形容词。通读全文可知，此处表达的是，此刻，小学生们在校门口排队等待进入学校，这个小学正是Carly所筹(建)的。孩子们要进入新建的学校，心情应该是“兴高采烈的，高兴的”，因此选cheerful。
42. C 考查动词。根据下文可知, Carly是组织“筹款”活动，因此选raised。
43. D 考查动词短语。Carly从小乐善好施，八岁的时候就开始帮助别人，经常给有需要的家庭“分送”礼物。hand out“分发”，pick out“挑选”，reach out to sb.表示“愿意提供帮助”。故选hand out。
44. A 考查副词。根据下文可知，Carly受奶奶的启发和熏陶，随着年龄的增长，想做更多更大的善事。故选However，表示意义上的转折。
45. B 考查名词。此处承接上文，表示Carly想做更多的事情，改善别人的生活。所以选lives。
46. A 考查代词。此处表示Carly受到奶奶做法的启发，想出主意，暗下决心。此处“That was it”，表示的是“就这么办”，是语气的加强。That此处指的不是学校，因为学校还未筹建，而且她也不会认为这个学校就是“她的”，所以不选hers；one用来泛指同类的可数名词中的“某物”，用在此处意义不通；something不符合上下文语境。故选it。
47. C 考查副词。12岁的小姑娘，身高与讲台的高度相仿，barely表示“仅仅，刚刚”，符合语境。really表示“的确”，largely表示“很大程度上”，highly表示“高级地”，都与语境不符。
48. A 考查名词。根据上下文，特别是下文中的“牙套”等可知，Carly发表了她的第一个“筹款演讲(speech)”。move “行动”，celebration“庆祝”，march“游行”。
49. A 考查动词。因为在演讲时带着牙套，所以说话不太方便。pronounce“发音”。argue“争辩”，指的是双方意见不一致而发生的争执；breathe“呼吸”，戴牙套不至于呼吸因难；pause“暂停”，与文意不符。
50.B 考查形容词。此处表示Carly认为，同样都是孩子，可越南的孩子们生活条件太差，生活太不公平。A选项true, “这不是真实的”，没有上下文的支撑。enough和happy也与文意不符。
51. C 考查动词短语。根据下文可知，那年夏天，Carly和家人开始动身穿越俄亥俄州，每周要去拜访三四个扶轮社。所以选set off，表示“出发，动身”。give ou“分发；用完”，pick up“(开车)接；拾起”，join in“加入，参加”，都不符合文意。
52. D 考查名词。因为是“四处筹款”，刚开始的几次“出行”没有收获。此处是说Carly和家人外出的过程，所以选trips。
53. D 考查动词的熟词生义。根据下文可知，Carly在那个漆黑的房间里发表筹款的“演说”，address sb. “向……说话”符合语境，他们的目的是要争取支持和善款，所以选addressed。
54. B 考查形容词。此处表示Carly讲话结束后，大家陷入死一般的沉默，不置可否。dead silence意为“死一般的沉默”。negative“消极的”，unique“独特的”，slight“轻微的”。故选dead。
55. C 考查动词。此处表示Fred觉得，这样的办法恐怕永远都不会“奏效”，所以选work“奏效，产生预期的结果(或作用)”。
56. B 考查形容词。Carly在多次的游说失败后，今天终于获得了第一份捐款，她当然是很“激动的(excited)”。Carly可能的确tired“疲劳的”，但不应是她当时最突出的情绪反应；interested“感兴趣的”，worried“担心的”，都与语境不符。
57. C 考查名词。根据上下文可知，此处表示随着消息的传播，Carly在两年里筹到了50000美元。所以选word，意为“消息”。
58. A 考查动词。根据文章内容可知，越南儿童基金会也捐出了5万美元。charge“要价”，sort“分类”，count“数数”。
59. B 考查名词。根据文章内容可知，此处表示在Hoa Lae学校的捐赠典礼上。
60. D 考查形容词。be impressed with表示“对……钦佩，对……印象深刻”。根据文章内容可知，校长对Carly这个小姑娘的善举十分“钦佩”。be concerned with“对……感兴趣”，be familiar with“对……熟悉”。
第二节
本文为一篇说明文，主题语境是“人与社会”。随着阅读习惯的转变，越来越多的人几乎发现不了传统书籍的魅力，年轻人花在刷手机上的时间过多，导致他们所得知识碎片化。
61. the 考查冠词。take the place of “代替”为固定用法，故填定冠词the。
62. That 考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处为主语从句，从句中不缺少任何成分且意义完整，故填That。
63. sweeping 考查非谓语动词。spend time doing sth. “花费时间做某事”，故用现在分词形式。sweep在此处表示“扫视”。
64. comparison 考查名词。by/in comparison with... “与……相比较”为固定搭配，故填所给词的名词形式。
65. plays 考查主谓一致。句中缺少谓语，主语“Reading articles and short posts”为单数概念,故用plays。
66. practical 考查形容词。根据空前的冠词a和空后的名词manner可知，此处应填入所给词的形容词形式。
67. aspects 考查名词单复数。根据空后的“its philosophical development, its scientific development and its technological development”可知，此处表示复数意义，故用aspect的复数形式。
68. without 考查介词。根据句意可知，此处表示“没有书的帮助，人们无法推动这些发展”。
69. barely 考查副词。空处修饰动词discover，故用副词形式barely。
70. to seek 考查非谓语动词。a need to do sth.“需要做某事”为固定用法。therefore为插入语。

参考范文：
Dear School President,
I am Li Hua, a senior student in your school. Recently, I found a lot of students pouring lunch in the school canteen and going out to buy snacks instead.
I made an investigation among the classmates and found some students are disappointed with the flavour and style of canteen food. On the contrary, they think snacks are more delicious. In my opinion, first of all, it’s shameful to waste food for the worldwide food shortage still exists. There should be activities to promote the importance of saving food and the harm of eating too much snacks. In addition, the school canteen food should be improved both in flavour and style. Last but not least, the canteen’s hygiene must be guaranteed.
This is my personal suggestion and I hope the principal consider it. Thank you.
Your student,
Li Hua

M: I just called the airport. Our flight has been delayed for three hours.
W: What? That’s terrible. We just checked out of the hotel. Now what are we supposed to do?
M: Well, the woman at the airport said that all flights are delayed due to heavy fog. They expect the fog to clear by noontime because there’ll be some wind then.
W: In that case, why don’t we just have a relaxing breakfast here in the hotel? Then we’ll catch a taxi to the airport around eleven.

W: So is this where you wanted to come?

Text 10
W: Let’s talk about the meals of a day in America. Usually they have breakfast, lunch and dinner. But on weekends, they would have a “brunch”. It is a combination of breakfast and lunch, usually beginning at 11:00 am. In the evening, students often have a study break or evening snack around 10:00 or 11:00 pm.
Breakfast is usually the light meal, including only one course. For breakfast, cereal with milk is very common. They are often mixed together in a bowl. Americans also have a glass of orange juice, and toasted bread with jam or butter. Another common breakfast meal contains eggs and potatoes. But people who are eating light might have just a cup of yogurt. Lunch and dinner are more varied.
Dinner is the main meal of a day. When going to a formal dinner, you may be confused by the number of forks. You must have no idea about the ways of different forks. Most Americans don’t know either. But the rule is simple: use the farthest first and the closest to the plate last.

As an adult, I realized that I had no skills, so I went to trade school. I entered a cabinetmaking (家具制造) program. I didn’t think I would be good at building furniture. I’m not handy. Nobody in my family is.
I had great teachers, but making furniture is hard. There are so many steps and something can go wrong at each one. I couldn’t even get organized. My toolbox always looked like a hurricane had gone through it.
I didn’t fully know what I was devoting myself to at the beginning, but I kept going to class. I tried to wrap my brain around the math. The projects forced me to solve new kinds of problems. My brain started to build new connections. Working in this new physical manner and giving it 100 percent of my effort had huge benefits for my mental health. I got over fear of embarrassment and asked for help at every opportunity.
I spent that year truly learning. True learning is a humbling (令人谦卑的) experience, especially for those of us who are learning a new set of skills. I could understand exactly what was wrong with the furniture I made, but I couldn’t fix my mistakes. And yet, I kept trying. And failing. And failing again. Until I learned to fail better.
You’re going to be bad at anything when you start out, but I was pretty bad right to the end. Even so, I finished the program — with honors, no less! My grades were helped by my good written work. Having to constantly push beyond my comfort zone has made me a more well-rounded person. Maybe most importantly, trade school gave me a more realistic idea of my strengths and limitations. I’m stronger than I thought!
24. Why did the author sign up for the cabinetmaking program?
A. To make more friends. B. To develop new skills.
C. To get more organized. D. To become a handy designer.
25. Which words can best describe the author during the one-year learning?
A. Hard-working and confident. B. Intelligent and creative.
C. Single-minded and determined. D. Modest and flexible.
26. What can we know about the author?
A. He got a poor grade on hand work. B. He feared to socialize with strangers.
C. He was skilled in solving math problems. D. He once got tired of the difficult lessons.
27. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Learning is more than a skill.
C. Failure teaches success. D. Skills will never be a burden.
C
Every animal species carries unique viruses that have specifically adapted to infecting it. Over time, some of these have jumped to humans — these are known as “zoonotic” viruses.
As the population grows, we move into wild areas, which brings us into more frequent contact with animals we don’t normally have contact with. Thus viruses can jump from animals to humans and they can spread between humans, through close contact with body fluids (体液) like blood or urine.
Because every virus has evolved to target a particular species, it’s rare for a virus to be able to jump to another species. When this does happen, it’s by chance, and it usually requires a large amount of contact with the virus.
Initially, the virus is usually not well-suited to its new host and doesn’t spread easily. Over time, however, it can evolve in the new host to produce variants that are better adapted.
When viruses jump to a new host, a process called zoonosis, they often cause more severe disease. This is because viruses and their initial hosts have evolved together, and the species has time to build up resistance. The new host species, on the other hand, might not have evolved the ability to tackle (应对) the virus. For example, when we come into contact with bats and their viruses, we may develop rabies or Ebola virus disease, while the bats themselves are less affected.
It’s likely that bats are the original source of three recently emerged coronaviruses: SARS-
CoV (2003), MERS-CoV (2012) and SARS-CoV-2. All of these jump from bats to humans via an intermediate animal; in the case of SARS-CoV-2, this may have been pangolins (穿山甲), but more research is needed.
28. Why is it rare for a virus to infect another species?
A. The new host can deal with the virus.
B. The new species builds up resistance.
C. Every virus can’t adapt to the new species.
D. Each virus develops to target a specific species.
29. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A. The resistance of the old species.
B. The ability of the new host species.
C. The process of the viral infection.
D. The reason for the virus variation.
30. Which of the following viruses are most likely to host in pangolins?
A. SARS-CoV. B. SARS CoV-2. C. Not mentioned. D. MERS CoV.
31. What can we infer from the text?
A. Humans should not move into wild areas.
B. Wild animals are actually our best friends.
C. A virus can spread from animals to humans.
D. A virus can vary to infect another species.
D
Although social media allow us to become more connected to other people than at any time in history, a new study suggests that many Americans feel lonelier than ever before, which is weakening the nation’s mental and physical health.
The study conducted by the health insurer Cigna, found widespread loneliness, with nearly half of Americans reporting they feel alone, or left out at least some of the time. The nation’s 75 million millennials (ages 23 — 37) and Generation Z adults (ages 18 — 22) are lonelier than older generations. Besides, 54% of people surveyed said they feel no one knows them well, and four in ten reported they “lack companionship”, their “relationships aren’t meaningful” and they “are isolated (孤立的) from others”.
Douglas Nemecek, MD, Cigna’s chief medical officer for Behavioral Health, said the findings of the study suggest that the problem has become common, equaling the risks caused by tobacco and the nation’s ever-expanding waistline. “Loneliness has the same influence on health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, while obesity (肥胖) less than 10 cigarettes a day,” he said in releasing the report.
Nemeceks comments tallied with those of other leading public health specialists, including former Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy, MD, who said loneliness should be targeted in public health campaigns like those designed to fight against smoking and obesity. “During my years caring for patients, the worst disease I saw was not heart disease diabetes; it was loneliness,” Murthy said in a recent cover story in the Harvard Business Review.
The new report, produced in Cigna’s partnership with the polling company Ipsos, is based on an online survey of more than 20,000 US adults using the well-regarded UCLA Loneliness Scale to see how widespread loneliness is in America.
32. What does the study conducted by Cigna find?
A. Older Americans feel much lonelier.
B. Social media do people more harm than good.
C. People become more connected to each other.
D. Social media increase levels of Americans’ loneliness.
33. Which opinion might Douglas Nemecek support?
A. Loneliness is not so harmful as smoking.
B. Loneliness is taken seriously by the public.
C. Loneliness is more dangerous than obesity.
D. Loneliness is targeted in public health campaigns.
34. What does the underlined phrase “tallied with” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Agreed with. B. Varied with. C. Contradicted. D. Inspired.
35. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To discuss health problems. B. To present findings of a recent study.
C. To warn people about social media use. D. To show threats to Americans’ health.
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。
Exposure to different cultures is one of the main reasons I enjoy visiting other countries. There are other types of food, interesting people, new experiences. 36
A country usually has its own money, such as RMB in China, rupee in India, and rufiyaa in Maldives. 37 This can make travel among such countries much easier and more convenient. In my opinion, however, I like having different kinds of money to use and get used to that while I travel. 38 When I visited Thailand and Vietnam last month, getting used to the fact that ₤1 is equal to over 42 Thai baht and 27,000 Vietnamese dong was also quite a good test for my maths skills!
If you’ve ever been to the U.K., you will know the Queen’s head is on every banknote and every coin. I was living in the Quebec province of Canada last year and money there surprised me greatly. 39 This is because she’s also Canada’s Head of State. Images on the Canadian money are various, including former prime ministers, as well as Canadian wildlife like the beaver, caribou and polar bear.
40 Wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill appears on ₤5 banknotes and writer Jane Austen ₤10 banknotes. The banknotes are also made of a material called polymer rather than paper. In Canada, they are already using polymer banknotes and some people even think that the money smells of maple syrup (枫糖浆)，probably the country’s most well-known food!
A. There are new historical figures on the pound notes.
B. They have the British Queen on their $20 banknotes.
C. Money represents preference and development of a county.
D. Of course, there’re many countries using euros or US dollars.
E. You will also be amazed by the images on the money.
F. One more thing to mention in a new country is a different currency.
G. It’s part of the cultural experience to hold money with a foreign figure.

Newspapers, magazines, even online articles offer reading materials. More strictly speaking, reading means reading books. However, online materials are taking 61 place of books, and reading books seems to go out of fashion nowadays. 62 reading habits have changed can be felt from the amount of time young people spend 63 (sweep) through short videos on their smartphones.
Some people claim short videos contain much information, and are easier to look through. But by 64 (compare) with books, short videos have fragmented (碎片化的) and disorganized contents, which could affect people’s understanding of a subject. Reading articles and short posts

A country’s true development is measured from such 67 (aspect): its philosophical development, its scientific development and its technological development. Cultural development, too, is important.

第一部分 听力
1—5 BCCAA 6—10 BABBC 11—15 CBCAA 16—20 BBCCC
第二部分 阅读理解
第一节
A篇 本文为一篇应用文，主要介绍了四个可以学习音乐和舞蹈的地方。
21. D 考查推理判断。根据Performing Arts部分的“Representing professional dance and opera companies in the city, the Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts(TAPA)..., available for more guidance.”可知，TAPA会提供演出的相关信息，并且有自己的应用程序和电话服务，由此可推断，TAPA提供的是有关演出的服务。故选D项。
22. B 考查细节理解。根据Theatre部分的“the Globus Theatre... It creates partnerships with theatre companies in various countries, and shows diverse theatre for communities”可知，Globus Theatre与不同国家的戏剧公司合作，会提供来自世界各地的表演。
23. C 考查细节理解。根据Orchestral Music(管弦乐)部分的“... as is the Ontario Philharmonic in Oshawa, with a solid season of excellent traditional music”可知，Ontario Philharmonic有一整季的优秀传统音乐演出，因此那些爱好古典作品的人会更喜欢去这里。
B篇 本文是一篇记叙文，主题语境是人与自我。为了学习技能，作者参加了家具制造的课程。虽然到结课时，作者的家具制造技能仍然不好，但是在这一年的学习过程中，他还是领悟到了许多其他的东西。
24. B 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“As an adult, I realized that I had no skills, so I went to trade school.”可知，作为成年人，作者没有一技之长，因此他才决定去上职业学校。由此可知，他是为了学习新技能。
25. C 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“I didn’t fully know what I was devoting myself to at the beginning, but I kept going to class.” “giving 100 percent of my effort”，以及第四段中的“I kept trying”和第五段中的“I finished the program — with honors, no less”可知，作者全身心地投入到制造家具的课程中，虽然工具总是摆不齐、经常犯错，但仍然没有放弃，故选C项。hard-working “努力的”，determined “意志坚定的”。
26. A 考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“I was pretty bad right to the end” “I finished... My grades were helped by my good written work”可知，作者到结课时制作家具的技能还是不好，取得的成绩主要得益于其出色的书面作业，故可知作者的手工作业成绩不好。
27. B 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Working in this new physical manner... I got over my fear of embarrassment and asked for help at every opportunity.”，第四段中的“True learning is a humbling (令人谦卑的) experience” “I learned to fail better”和第五段中的“Having to constantly push beyond my comfort zone... I’m stronger than I thought!”可知，作者在学习技能的同时促进了自己的心理健康，克服了对尴尬的恐惧，变得谦逊，而且迈出了舒适区，最重要的是对自己的优劣势有了更现实的认识。由此可知，作者这一年不仅仅是学习了技能，还有了多方面的收获，故选B项。
C篇 本文是一篇说明文，从科学认知的角度说明了病毒从动物到人的传播途径以及病毒发
生变异的情况。该话题属于《考试大纲》所列话题中的“健康”以及“热点话题”。
28. D 考查细节理解。由文章第三段第一句“Because every virus has evolved to target a particular species, it’s rare for a virus to be able to jump to another species.”可知，每种病毒都以某个特定物种为攻击目标，所以病毒很难从一个物种跨越到另一个物种，故D项正确。根据第五段中的“The new host species... might not have evolved the ability to tackle(应对) the virus.”可知，新宿主还不能应对病毒，故A项错误；新物种尚未产生抵抗力，故B项错误； “并非每种病毒都不能适应新物种”，文中无信息支撑，故C项错误。
29. D 考查主旨大意。由文章第五段第一句可知，病毒寄存到新的宿主身上后，将会导致更加严重的疾病；再根据后半段的解释可知，此段主要说的是病毒变异的原因，故D项正确。A项“原物种的抵抗力”、B项“新宿主物种的能力”以及C项“病毒感染的过程”均不符合本段大意。
30. B 考查细节理解。通过文章最后一段中的“in the case of SARS-CoV-2, this may have been pangolins (穿山甲)”可知，穿山甲可能是病毒SARS-CoV-2传播的中间宿主。
31. C 考查推理判断。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了病毒能够从动物传播到人类，故C项正确。A项“人类不应该迁移到荒凉的地区”的说法过于极端，不能因为害怕病毒就阻止社会发展，故表述错误；B项“野生动物其实是我们最好的朋友”不是本文所要传达的信息；D项信息与原文不符，病毒是在新的宿主身上才逐渐变异的，而不是为了传染其他物种才变异的。
D篇 本文是一篇说明文，主题语境是人与社会。文章介绍了一项研究的成果：尽管社交媒体让我们比历史上任何时候都更容易与人建立起联系，但是许多美国人感到比以往任何时候都孤独。
32. D 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“a new study suggests that many Americans feel lonelier than ever before”可知，新的研究发现社交媒体让美国人变得更加孤独。
33. C 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Loneliness has the same influence on health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, while obesity (肥胖) less than 10 cigarettes a day”可知，孤独对健康的影响相当于每天吸15支烟的影响，而肥胖对健康的影响相当于每天吸不到10支烟的影响。由此可推知，孤独比肥胖更危险。
34. A 考查词义猜测。根据上文提到的Nemecek的言论和下文中的“those of other leading public health specialists... loneliness should be targeted in public heath campaigns like those designed to fight against smoking and obesity”以及“the worst disease I saw was not heart disease or diabetes; it was loneliness”可知，此处表示Nemecek的言论与其他一些健康专家的言论是一致的，故选A。
35. B 考查写作目的。根据文章内容尤其是文章首尾两段呼应可知，本文主要介绍了一项新研究的结果：尽管社交媒体使得人们更易与他人产生联系，但许多美国人却感到比以往任何时候都要孤独。
第二节
这是一篇说明文，主题语境是“人与社会”。作者讲述了他喜欢去别的国家旅游以从新鲜事物中接触不同的文化，货币就是其中之一，通过不同国家的货币可以了解他们的文化和历史。
36. F 上文提到“There are other types of food, interesting people, new experiences.”，下文讲述各个国家的货币，F项“One more thing to mention in a new country is a different currency.”承上启下，符合题意。
37. D 根据空后的“This can make travel between such countries much easier and more convenient.”可知，空处是导致这个结果的原因。D项中提及“很多国家使用欧元或美元”，这正是给人们旅游带来便利的原因。
38. G 结合上文中的“I like having different kinds of money to use and get used to that while I travel.”以及下文作者去泰国和越南用当地的货币可知，作者认为通过使用不同的货币可以了解当地的文化，G项正是说明这一点。
39. B 结合上文提到的“the Queen’s head is on every banknote and every coin”和下文中“This is because she’s also Canada’s Head of State”可知，英国的货币上有女王的头像，同时英国女王也是加拿大的国家元首，所以空处表示加拿大的货币上也有女王头像，B项符合语境。
40. A 下一句提到丘吉尔(的头像)出现在了5英镑纸币上，作家简·奥斯汀(的头像)出现在了10英镑的纸币上，再结合第三段提到“如果你到过英国，你就知道女王的头像出现在所有的纸币和硬币上”可知，此处应表示英镑上出现了新的人物形象。
第三部分 语言知识运用
第一节
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了美国小姑娘Carly筹款援建小学的故事，体现了Carly及其家人不畏困难，为了心中的目标坚定前行的精神品质。人性的光辉是人类永恒的话题，其中的平等博爱更是为世人所津津乐道。
41. B 考查形容词。通读全文可知，此处表达的是，此刻，小学生们在校门口排队等待进入学校，这个小学正是Carly所筹(建)的。孩子们要进入新建的学校，心情应该是“兴高采烈的，高兴的”，因此选cheerful。
42. C 考查动词。根据下文可知, Carly是组织“筹款”活动，因此选raised。
43. D 考查动词短语。Carly从小乐善好施，八岁的时候就开始帮助别人，经常给有需要的家庭“分送”礼物。hand out“分发”，pick out“挑选”，reach out to sb.表示“愿意提供帮助”。故选hand out。
44. A 考查副词。根据下文可知，Carly受奶奶的启发和熏陶，随着年龄的增长，想做更多更大的善事。故选However，表示意义上的转折。
45. B 考查名词。此处承接上文，表示Carly想做更多的事情，改善别人的生活。所以选lives。
46. A 考查代词。此处表示Carly受到奶奶做法的启发，想出主意，暗下决心。此处“That was it”，表示的是“就这么办”，是语气的加强。That此处指的不是学校，因为学校还未筹建，而且她也不会认为这个学校就是“她的”，所以不选hers；one用来泛指同类的可数名词中的“某物”，用在此处意义不通；something不符合上下文语境。故选it。
47. C 考查副词。12岁的小姑娘，身高与讲台的高度相仿，barely表示“仅仅，刚刚”，符合语境。really表示“的确”，largely表示“很大程度上”，highly表示“高级地”，都与语境不符。
48. A 考查名词。根据上下文，特别是下文中的“牙套”等可知，Carly发表了她的第一个“筹款演讲(speech)”。move “行动”，celebration“庆祝”，march“游行”。
49. A 考查动词。因为在演讲时带着牙套，所以说话不太方便。pronounce“发音”。argue“争辩”，指的是双方意见不一致而发生的争执；breathe“呼吸”，戴牙套不至于呼吸因难；pause“暂停”，与文意不符。
50.B 考查形容词。此处表示Carly认为，同样都是孩子，可越南的孩子们生活条件太差，生活太不公平。A选项true, “这不是真实的”，没有上下文的支撑。enough和happy也与文意不符。
51. C 考查动词短语。根据下文可知，那年夏天，Carly和家人开始动身穿越俄亥俄州，每周要去拜访三四个扶轮社。所以选set off，表示“出发，动身”。give ou“分发；用完”，pick up“(开车)接；拾起”，join in“加入，参加”，都不符合文意。
52. D 考查名词。因为是“四处筹款”，刚开始的几次“出行”没有收获。此处是说Carly和家人外出的过程，所以选trips。
53. D 考查动词的熟词生义。根据下文可知，Carly在那个漆黑的房间里发表筹款的“演说”，address sb. “向……说话”符合语境，他们的目的是要争取支持和善款，所以选addressed。
54. B 考查形容词。此处表示Carly讲话结束后，大家陷入死一般的沉默，不置可否。dead silence意为“死一般的沉默”。negative“消极的”，unique“独特的”，slight“轻微的”。故选dead。
55. C 考查动词。此处表示Fred觉得，这样的办法恐怕永远都不会“奏效”，所以选work“奏效，产生预期的结果(或作用)”。
56. B 考查形容词。Carly在多次的游说失败后，今天终于获得了第一份捐款，她当然是很“激动的(excited)”。Carly可能的确tired“疲劳的”，但不应是她当时最突出的情绪反应；interested“感兴趣的”，worried“担心的”，都与语境不符。
57. C 考查名词。根据上下文可知，此处表示随着消息的传播，Carly在两年里筹到了50000美元。所以选word，意为“消息”。
58. A 考查动词。根据文章内容可知，越南儿童基金会也捐出了5万美元。charge“要价”，sort“分类”，count“数数”。
59. B 考查名词。根据文章内容可知，此处表示在Hoa Lae学校的捐赠典礼上。
60. D 考查形容词。be impressed with表示“对……钦佩，对……印象深刻”。根据文章内容可知，校长对Carly这个小姑娘的善举十分“钦佩”。be concerned with“对……感兴趣”，be familiar with“对……熟悉”。
第二节
本文为一篇说明文，主题语境是“人与社会”。随着阅读习惯的转变，越来越多的人几乎发现不了传统书籍的魅力，年轻人花在刷手机上的时间过多，导致他们所得知识碎片化。
61. the 考查冠词。take the place of “代替”为固定用法，故填定冠词the。
62. That 考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处为主语从句，从句中不缺少任何成分且意义完整，故填That。
63. sweeping 考查非谓语动词。spend time doing sth. “花费时间做某事”，故用现在分词形式。sweep在此处表示“扫视”。
64. comparison 考查名词。by/in comparison with... “与……相比较”为固定搭配，故填所给词的名词形式。
65. plays 考查主谓一致。句中缺少谓语，主语“Reading articles and short posts”为单数概念,故用plays。
66. practical 考查形容词。根据空前的冠词a和空后的名词manner可知，此处应填入所给词的形容词形式。
67. aspects 考查名词单复数。根据空后的“its philosophical development, its scientific development and its technological development”可知，此处表示复数意义，故用aspect的复数形式。
68. without 考查介词。根据句意可知，此处表示“没有书的帮助，人们无法推动这些发展”。
69. barely 考查副词。空处修饰动词discover，故用副词形式barely。
70. to seek 考查非谓语动词。a need to do sth.“需要做某事”为固定用法。therefore为插入语。

第二节 书面表达
参考范文：
Dear School President,
I am Li Hua, a senior student in your school. Recently, I found a lot of students pouring lunch in the school canteen and going out to buy snacks instead.
I made an investigation among the classmates and found some students are disappointed with the flavour and style of canteen food. On the contrary, they think snacks are more delicious. In my opinion, first of all, it’s shameful to waste food for the worldwide food shortage still exists. There should be activities to promote the importance of saving food and the harm of eating too much snacks. In addition, the school canteen food should be improved both in flavour and style. Last but not least, the canteen’s hygiene must be guaranteed.
This is my personal suggestion and I hope the principal consider it. Thank you.
Your student,
Li Hua

M: I just called the airport. Our flight has been delayed for three hours.
W: What? That’s terrible. We just checked out of the hotel. Now what are we supposed to do?

W: What made you decide to come to California for school? I hear Austin is a good school.
M: It’s all right, but I think Berkeley is better.
W: So is this where you wanted to come?
M: To tell you the truth, I wanted to go to Stanford. I made it on the waiting list, but 99% of the people accepted to Stanford go there.

Text 10
W: Let’s talk about the meals of a day in America. Usually they have breakfast, lunch and dinner. But on weekends, they would have a “brunch”. It is a combination of breakfast and lunch, usually beginning at 11:00 am. In the evening, students often have a study break or evening snack around 10:00 or 11:00 pm.
Breakfast is usually the light meal, including only one course. For breakfast, cereal with milk is very common. They are often mixed together in a bowl. Americans also have a glass of orange juice, and toasted bread with jam or butter. Another common breakfast meal contains eggs and potatoes. But people who are eating light might have just a cup of yogurt. Lunch and dinner are more varied.
Dinner is the main meal of a day. When going to a formal dinner, you may be confused by the number of forks. You must have no idea about the ways of different forks. Most Americans don’t know either. But the rule is simple: use the farthest first and the closest to the plate last.
