第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)

第一节(共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

London, with countless famous sites and all manner of food, drink, shopping, history, and culture, is definitely a wonderful city to visit.

Time Zone

Greenwich Mean Time during the winter, British Summer Time during the rest of the year (starting at Daylight Saving Time).

Best Time to Go

The best time to visit London overall is in spring, when the temperatures have warmed up, the sun has started to shine and London’s gardens and parks are looking their best. However, the reality is that the best time to travel to London depends a lot on what you’re looking for. If you’re all about taking a look inside Queen Liz’s palace, you’d better make it in summer, while winter is beautiful and festive for those looking to get their fill of Christmas markets and traditional cheer.

Things to Know

Londoners, and English people in general, have a much different manner of interacting with one another than Americans do while an American might think nothing of smiling at a stranger they pass on the sidewalk or asking about work in the first few minutes of a conversation, Londoners might consider it impolite or strange. Don’t mistake this for unfriendliness ;it’s just a cultural difference. Instead, talk about things like movies, TV shows, books, your travels, and the like, instead of work or family.

How to Get Around

Getting around London is unbelievably easy thanks to the well-maintained and extensive Underground. The Underground, unlike American transportation systems which often pay per ride or pay per length of trip, are paid in zones. Fare also varies based on time of day and the method you use to pay. It’s worth getting an Oyster card to make your life that much simpler.

1. Where is this text most probably taken from?

A. A survey. B. A travel journal. C. A research paper. D. A guidebook.

2. When is the best time to visit London for people who enjoy a lively atmosphere?

A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter.

3. Which of the following is a suitable topic for starting a conversation with Londoners?

A. Daily entertainments. B. Future plans.

C. Personal relationships. D. Annual incomes.

【答案】1. D    2. D    3. A

B

When I was in nursing school, I had to focus more on my studies than other aspects of life, and learn so much in a short amount of time. However, the clinical experience of nursing school allowed me to have the opportunity to put what I learned in my classes and readings into action.

One of my favorite experiences during my clinical training was when I had a patient who was first starting chemotherapy (化疗). My nursing instructor Marie told me that patients often experience an anaphylactic (过敏性的) reaction to the medicine when they first start chemotherapy, so it is important to give the medicine at a slower rate. Marie said that if we had a patient who reacted to the medicine, we should stop running the chemotherapy, check the patient’s blood pressure, and then give the appropriate medicine from the emergency kit.

When I checked my patient a couple of minutes after starting his chemotherapy, I asked him questions related to an anaphylactic reaction. I also noticed his face was getting a little red and he looked short of breath. He mentioned having lower back pain, so I immediately stopped the chemotherapy, started taking his blood pressure, and reported it to Marie. His blood pressure was within his normal limits, so we gave him Benadryl via his IV. The Benadryl helped the patient, and we had the Benadryl running when we started his chemotherapy again, but at a slower rate. This time the patient did not have an anaphylactic reaction, and tolerated his chemotherapy well.

This experience taught me how important it is to assess your patient and to teach your patient beforehand about the reaction the patient could have due to the medicine. Marie and I taught our patient about the reactions he could have due to the chemotherapy; due to our teaching, our patient recognized his symptoms and was able to know that what he was experiencing was an expected reaction. During the clinical training, I had many experiences where I had to think on my feet and conduct nursing care quickly. These experiences taught me a lot about how to be a nurse and emphasized the importance of conducting proper patient care.

4. Why did the author stop giving the patient chemotherapy?

A. He had high blood pressure.

B. He had a reaction to the medicine.

C. He failed to tolerate the back pain.

D. He refused to answer her questions.

5. According to the author, what played a key role in saving the patient?

A. Giving the patient immediate first aid.

B. Making adequate preparations in advance.

C. Assessing the effectiveness of the medicine.

D. Telling the patient the possible reactions of the medicine.

6. Which of the following words best describes the author’s clinical experience?

A. Rewarding. B. Dangerous.

C. Interesting. D. Painful.

7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To express gratitude to her instructor.

B. To encourage others to take up nursing.

C. To share her clinical training experience.

D To stress the importance of medical treatment.

【答案】4. B    5. D    6. A    7. C

C

While those in education understand the current state of the nation’s literacy (读写能力) crisis, most everyday Americans are dangerously unaware.

According to the U. S. Department of Education, nearly 130 million American adults read below a sixth-grade level. Now, consider how that number represents more than half the adult U. S. population.

That’s not surprising, according to the most recent “Nation’s Report Card” by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The NAEP reports that roughly just one-third of students in fourth, eighth and 12th grades are proficient (精通) in reading and have “solid academic performance and demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter.”

In fact, this U. S. reading crisis has been 20 years in the making. While one-third of students are considered proficient, the statistics are even more alarming for low-income students, students of color and students with disabilities.

Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病) has exposed a growing “digital divide” in which those without access to supportive learning programs and teachers will continue to slide through the cracks.

This is troubling for many reasons. Literacy can be a great equalizer, leveling the playing field across systemic social issues, like race and gender inequality. It plays an enormous role in increasing access to economic opportunity.

It is estimated that increasing literacy proficiency has the potential to generate a lot more in annual income for the United States. And on the individual level, illiteracy can impact a person’s lifetime earning potential by 30-42%.

Still, the benefits of literacy go far beyond someone’s earning ability. Literacy supports social, physical and emotional well-being, and it affects everything from crime rates to hospital admissions to self-confidence.

But challenging as the literacy landscape may seem right now, there is cause for optimism. And the strategy for literacy is simple.

8. What do we know about America’s literacy crisis?

A. It dates back about two decades.

B. It is well understood by most Americans.

C. It involves half of the American population.

D. It is mainly caused by the growing digital divide.

9. Why does the author mention three specific groups of students in paragraph 4?

A. To attract public attention to these students.

B. To show the seriousness of literacy crisis in America.

C. To stress the inequality in the American education system.

D. To praise the high reading proficiency level of American students.

10. What is a possible result of improved literacy on the individual level?

A. Higher crime rates. B. Increased self-confidence.

C. Stronger desire for wealth. D. Equal learning opportunities.

11. What is the author’s attitude to literacy in America?

A. Tolerant. B. Ambiguous. C. Doubtful. D. Hopeful.

【答案】8. A    9. B    10. C    11. D

D

You may have noticed sudden ,brief twitching (抽动) at some point while your dog was sleeping and wondered if they were dreaming or even expressing some type of discomfort.

These involuntary movements only occur during dream states and usually don’t last long. So is twitching just a normal part of dreaming, or are there times when you should worry?

Dogs sleep an average of 12-14 hours each day. While they sleep, a dog’s brain processes information and experiences from the day through dreams. Twitching is often related to active dream cycles in the brain.

According to research by psychologist Stanley Coren, an average-size dog will dream about every 20 minutes, and these dreams will last about a minute. Larger breeds have fewer dreams that last longer-about every 45 minutes for 4 minutes. The opposite is true for smaller breed dogs; they will dream about every 10 minutes for up to 30 seconds.

Dogs experience the same dream stages as humans, including non-rapid eye movement (NREM), short-wave sleep (SWS), and rapid eye movement (REM). During the REM state, a dog’s eyes move around behind their closed eyelids, and the large body muscles are turned off so the dream is not physically acted out. The amount of twitching depends on how much these off switches cramp muscle movement.

If your dog sleeps next to you, they may unintentionally disturb your sleep with their sudden body movements. However, it is often advised not to awaken a dog that is twitching in their sleep unless they are clearly in distress.

A bad dream or night terror could be the cause of these involuntary movements, and they may wake up frightened. Try to avoid touching them so they don’t bite you as a result of being shocked and panicked. Instead, gently call your dog’s name until they respond. Speak calmly and tell them that they are safe and secure after they wake up. While they appear to be pretty active in their sleep, dreaming dogs may be slow to awaken.

12. Which of the following influences how often dogs dream?

A. Their sleeping time. B. Their body size.

C. Their daily experiences. D. Their health conditions

13. What does the underlined word “cramp” mean in paragraph 4?

A. Stimulate. B. Analyze. C. Restrict. D. Monitor.

14. Why is it advised not to wake up a dog twitching in sleep?

A. To avoid being bitten by the dog. B. To ensure the dog adequate sleep.

C. To prevent the dog getting shocked. D. To escape disturbance from the dog.

15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. How does Dogs’ Brain Work? B. Why do Dogs Dream at Night?

C. Why do Dogs Twitch in Their Sleep? D. How does Dogs’ Twitch Affect Their Sleep?

【答案】12. B    13. C    14. A    15. C

【答案】Dear Katherine,

How are things going with you these days? I’m sorry to tell you that the English drama competition scheduled to be held next week has been postponed for some reason.

I suppose everybody around the world has been somehow affected by Covid-19, and we are no exception. The greatest influence on us is that the English drama competition this year has been postponed to next month. If the virus is under control soon, we will rearrange and inform you in time. I wish it would be convenient for you to be our judge then.

Please stay safe and stay in contact with me.

Yours,

Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When my husband Randy died in late fall, deciding what to do with his garden was way down on the list of necessary tasks. During the first few months, I cried with our daughters, planned a memorial, cried with my family, celebrated a quiet Thanksgiving, and panicked over not having bought Christmas presents.

As the calendar turned to a new year, the often rainy days and long nights deepened my sorrow. I found myself exhausted at the end of February, both physically and mentally.

Then the daffodils bloomed (开花) in the garden.

Years before, Randy had planted dozens of these lemon-yellow flowers. To him, they served as a reminder of hope, a promise that light and warmth would soon replace cold and dark. Looking at those dauffodils, I thought about how Randy had considered our garden a living work of art, carefully choosing plants so we’d see new blooms every month.

Then I noticed all the weeds that had taken root and spread everywhere. The neglect (疏于打理) showed, for Randy’s illness had lasted a couple of years, a time when he didn’t have energy for yard work the way he had before.

Faced with the neglected garden, I felt overwhelmed in the beginning. My daughters suggested I hire a service to clean everything up. I didn’t respond.

Every time I sat in the garden alone, the memories of the lively garden came flooding, like the numerous scenes in an unforgettable film. Many days Randy came home from work, changed into old clothes, and headed out the door to mow or prune (修剪). Orange dragonflies followed him around the yard as he worked. Honeybees buzzed among the flowers, birds sang beautiful songs, and gentle breezes carried the sweet smell of dirt. No matter how cold or wet it was, the fresh air and physical activity made him energized and refreshed. For Randy, the work was quiet and comforting, which was a relief, as well as a pleasure.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The days grew warmer and lighter, and I started the work myself.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Weeks later, my daughters returned to visit me.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】     The days grew warmer and lighter, and I started the work myself. I realized I need to take care of the garden just like what Randy did before. Randy used to treat the garden as a living work of art. If he were alive, he wouldn’t be happy to see the garden in a mess. Therefore, I needed to take care of the garden just like what Randy did. I started weeding, watering and looking after the daffodils. It seemed like to me working in the garden was a way to commemorate Randy.
     Weeks later, my daughters returned to visit me. She was very surprised at what she saw. Orange dragonflies were flying around the yard. Honeybees buzzed among the flowers and birds sang beautiful songs. She used to be worried I would be in a bad mood. But now she realized everything was in a good order. Seeing this, she said it looks as if her father was always with us.
