Ⅳ. 阅读理解(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)
A
My phone chirped, alerting me to a text message from a friend. It was about the disaster that is 2020. My daughter Julia read it aloud. “I’m not adding this year to my age since I didn’t use it.”
“I’m on board with that,” I said. “It feels like the whole world is on pause, and nothing we do right now matters in the long run. Everything is closed, and we spend all day at home staring at screens.”
Julia nodded. “I’m already accepted into college, so my grades don’t matter. I can’t see my friends either. The restaurant where I work is closed, and if you’re not an essential worker, it’s fine to just watch Netflix and eat snacks all day.”
The next morning, my friend texted me again. “The worst purchase I’ve ever made was a 2020 planner.”
I laughed and showed it to Julia. To my surprise, she didn’t laugh. Instead, she said, “I’m going upstairs to get my 2020 planner. You need to grab yours, too.”
It took me a few minutes to locate it because it had been weeks since I had any actual plans to keep track of.
When I went back downstairs, Julia pointed to the open page in her planner in her own handwriting. “I just read over my new year resolutions for 2020. The virus does make it seem like the world is on pause, but we can still move forward with a lot of our goals.”
I found my 2020 To-Do List, full of goals for getting healthy, tidying my home, and being a better wife and mother.
When the pandemic first started, I’d spent hours each day watching the news, feeling anxious and scared all the time. Eventually, I realized that I needed to cut back on it. But instead of turning off the TV altogether, I watched movies. My only goal was to get through the day until life got back to normal.
I nodded. “I’m in.”
She laid our lists on the table, side by side. “I see that one of your 2020 goals was to spend a lot of time with me before I leave for college, while one of my goals was to learn to cook before I move out.” She smiled. “There’s a significant amount of overlap there.”
I laughed, feeling better than I had in months. “I’d love to teach you to cook.”
“Joining a gym is not going to happen obviously, but I’ll find some fitness apps on my phone.”
“I’d be happy just going for a daily walk with you.” I said. “Cleaning out closets and drawers and finally getting this house organized has been a goal of mine for years. We can work on that one together, too.”
I made the first entry in my planner in months: Go for a walk. Clean out a drawer. Look for some recipes suitable for a beginner cook, feeling my spirits lift.
As the days went on, my house got a little cleaner, Julia grew into a proficient cook, and the number on my bathroom scale got a little better.
Although the world was grieving during a pandemic, what we did as individuals still mattered. We could still take small steps each day to move forward on our goals, and every step in the right direction counts. When we feel the least like doing something productive is when we need to do it the most — not to complete the task itself but to give purpose to our day and remind ourselves that we are capable of big things.

A. She was anxious to pursue her study. B. She was satisfied to stay at home.
C. She accepted the fact and live with it. D. She was fed up with the snacks all day.
33. Why didn’t Julia laugh after reading the second text?
A. Because she felt it was not so funny to laugh.
B. Because she was reminded of her own planner.
C. Because she wanted to learn how to cook then.
D. Because her planner was her worst purchase too.
34. What did the “overlap” inspire the author and her daughter to do?
A. To check the resolutions off and remove them together.
B. To weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the goals.
C. To accomplish the common goals by joint efforts.
D. To compare their lists and find better ones to do.

【答案】31. D 32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是作者和女儿在疫情封闭期间一起努力实现自己的目标的故事。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“I’m not adding this year to my age since I didn’t use it.(我不会在我的年龄上加上今年，因为我没有用过它。)”和第二段的“Everything is closed, and we spend all day at home staring at screens.(一切都关了，我们整天呆在家里盯着屏幕。)”可知，划线句子暗示了作者也认为这一年是浪费了。故选D。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“I’m already accepted into college, so my grades don’t matter. I can’t see my friends either. The restaurant where I work is closed, and if you’re not an essential worker, it’s fine to just watch Netflix and eat snacks all day.(我已经被大学录取了，所以我的成绩不重要。我也看不到我的朋友。我工作的餐厅已经关门了，如果你不是必要员工，你可以整天看Netflix和吃零食。)”可知，对于她的学习和工作，Julia接受了现实。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的“Instead, she said, “I’m going upstairs to get my 2020 planner. You need to grab yours, too.”(相反，她说：“我要上楼去拿我的2020年计划表。你也要去拿你的。”)”可知，Julia看完第二条短信后没有笑是因为她想起了自己的计划表。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第六段的“I laughed, feeling better than I had in months. “I’d love to teach you to cook.”(我笑了，感觉比几个月来都好。“我很乐意教你做饭。”)”，倒数第五段的““Joining a gym is not going to happen obviously, but I’ll find some fitness apps on my phone.”(“加入健身房显然不会发生，但我会在手机上找到一些健身应用程序。”)”，倒数第四段的““I’d be happy just going for a daily walk with you.” I said. “Cleaning out closets and drawers and finally getting this house organized has been a goal of mine for years. We can work on that one together, too.”(“只要每天和你一起散步，我就很高兴了。”我说。“清理壁橱和抽屉，最终把房子整理好，这是我多年来的目标。我们也可以一起努力。”)”可知，这种“重叠”启发了作者和她的女儿核对新年决心，然后一起完成它们。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“We could still take small steps each day to move forward on our goals, and every step in the right direction counts. When we feel the least like doing something productive is when we need to do it the most—not to complete the task itself but to give purpose to our day and remind ourselves that we are capable of big things.(我们仍然可以每天迈出一小步，朝着我们的目标前进，每一步都是正确的。当我们觉得最不想做某件有成效的事情时，正是我们最需要做这件事的时候——不是为了完成任务本身，而是为了给我们的生活赋予目标，提醒自己我们有能力做大事。)”可知，作者可能会同意的观点是每一个微小的进步都会累积成巨大的差异。故选D。
B
A major new facility to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere has started operating in Iceland, which is a boost to an emerging technology that experts say could eventually play an important role in reducing greenhouse gases.
The plant in southwest Iceland is the biggest of its kind, its builder says. It is able to capture 900 tons of CO2 every year but it needs heat and electricity to work. It is using energy produced from waste and is built on the roof of a waste incineration plant, and through the burning of rubbish, energy is generated.
Human-sized fans are built into a series of boxes. They take CO2 out of the air catching it in spongelike filters (过滤器). The filters are blasted with heat, freeing the gas, which is then mixed with water and pumped deep into deep underground basalt caves, where over time it turns into dark-gray stone. Pumping CO2 into the ground is just one way to deal with it. The makers are also selling the gas to be used again. The CO2 can be captured just a few 100 miles away. It is pumped through an underground pipeline directly into a greenhouse. Vegetables and plants love CO2 and higher concentrations of the gas within the greenhouse improve the growth of plants.
By 2050, humanity will need to pull nearly a billion metric tons of CO2 from the atmosphere every year through direct air capture technology to achieve carbon neutral goals, according to International Energy Agency recommendations. The plant in Iceland will be able to capture 4000 metric tons annually — just a small amount of what will be necessary, but an engineer in Climeworks, the company that built it, says it can grow rapidly as efficiency improves and costs decrease.
“This is a market that does not yet exist, but a market that urgently needs to be built,” said Christoph Gebald who co-founded Climeworks. “This plant that we have here is really the blueprint to further increase the size and really industrialize.”

【37题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段前三句“Human-sized fans are built into a series of boxes. They take CO2 out of the air, catching it in sponge like filters（过滤器）. The filters are exploded with heat, freeing the gas, which is then mixed with water and pumped（用泵输送） into deep underground caves, where over time it turns into dark-gray stone. Pumping CO2 into the ground is just one way to deal with it（人体大小的风扇内置在一系列盒子中。它们把二氧化碳从空气中带走，用海绵状的过滤器将其过滤掉。过滤器受热爆炸，释放出气体，然后与水混合并泵送进入地下深处的洞穴，随着时间的推移，它会变成深灰色的石头。将二氧化碳泵入地下只是一种处理方法）可知，本段主要是介绍捕捉二氧化碳的工厂是怎样工作的。故选D项。

【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后三句“The CO2 can be captured just a few 100 miles away. It is pumped through an underground pipeline directly into a greenhouse. Vegetables and plants love CO2 and higher concentrations of the gas within the greenhouse improve the growth of plants.（二氧化碳可以在100英里外被捕获。它通过地下管道直接泵入温室。蔬菜和植物喜欢二氧化碳，温室内较高浓度的气体可以促进植物的生长。）”可知，捕捉二氧化碳不仅能够保护环境、减少污染，还能够帮助蔬菜植物的生长，可谓一举多得。故选A项。
【40题详解】

C
Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self- respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.
Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot lie trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
41. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our
A. self-respect B. financial rewards C. advertising ability D. friendly relationship
42. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to___.
A. lying B. stealing C. cheating D. advertising
43. The phrase "bringing the error to the clerk's attention" (in para. 5) means___.
A. telling the truth to the clerk B. offering advice to the clerk
C. asking the clerk to be more attentive D. reminding the clerk of the charged item
44. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A. We'll be very excited. B. We'll feel unfortunate.
C. We'll have a sense of honor. D. We'll feel sorry for the clerk.
45. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage.*
A. How to Live Truthfully B. Importance of Peacefulness
C. Ways of Gaining Self-respect D. Happiness through Honorable Actions
【答案】41. A 42. B 43. A 44. C 45. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章作者通过举例说明高尚的行为会为你带来快乐。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased.”（ 一离开商店，我们就觉得很光荣，自尊心也增强了）可知积极的行为可以增强我们的自尊心。故选A。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“In the first case,when we don’t tell the clerk,a couple of things would happen.Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief.”（ 在第一种情况下，我们不告诉店员，会发生几件事。在内心深处，我们知道自己是一种小偷）可知作者认为如果对没有付款的东西保持沉默，是一种盗窃行为。故选B。
【43题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable.”（店员立刻就知道我们是可敬的）可知“bringing the error to the clerk’s attention”意思是“告诉售货员真相”。故选A。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Upon leaving the store,we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased.”（ 一离开商店，我们就觉得很光荣，自尊心也增强了）可知如果我们让售货员知道了她的错误，我们会有一种荣誉感。故选C。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.（这些被广泛归类为“荣誉”的快乐行为可以帮助你创造美好的生活）结合下文举例说明了这个主题，可知这篇文章主要讲了高尚的行为会为你带来快乐，所以短文的最好的题目是Happiness through Honorable Actions（高尚行为带来的幸福）。故选D。

【答案】Nevertheless##evertheless
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：J.K.罗琳收到了无数出版商的退稿信。然而，她坚持住了，从没有放弃。根据句意可知，空格处填写副词，因为前句“J.K. Rowling received countless rejection letters from the publishers. （J.K.罗琳收到了无数出版商的退稿信。）”与本句存在转折关系，即被拒绝然而她不认输不放弃；故根据句意和首字母可知填写nevertheless，“然而”，呈现出先后的转折，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Nevertheless。

【答案】regret to inform you

I walked to Mrs. Windsor’s house as I always did when I heard the piano. Before ringing the bell, I stood against the wall and sighed sadly. I daydreamed what I’d rather be doing. I had been tutored enough to read, understand, and even write some musical compositions, but I just didn’t have a gift for it. But Mrs. Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free, so I felt it my duty to try.
The door opened. I walked in, sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music. Today Mrs. Windsor introduced her niece Pasha to teach me. With a smile, Pasha sat beside me on the piano bench, opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play. I arranged my fingers on the keys. Then I frowned (皱眉) and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements. I had to admit I was a rather mechanical pianist.
After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. There was a long pause. “Jennifer, what are you hearing in the music?” I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn’t know what she meant.
“Here, let me try and you listen,” Pasha advised.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys. Then, she began to play.
“See, it begins here beside some kind of river. Hear the water flowing beside you?”
Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys. “Now the princess appears and she’s picking flowers from the water’s edge.” A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha’s dancing fingers. “Oh, but she slips!” The music changed. “And our princess is being carried off by the fast-flowing stream. Quickly, the princess’ horse sees her plight (困境) and races to the river’s edge where he swims out to let her catch hold of him. Luckily, they make it to the bank and she hugs her faithful horse.” Pasha finished with a big smile and then looked at me.
I was delighted and advised to try another one. Pasha smiled and together we played many pieces of music that afternoon, finding the stories in the music and learning that sometimes it takes a friend to pull you out of the river onto dry land again.
56. Why did the author sigh sadly? (no more than 15 words)
_________________________________________________________
57 How did Pasha inspire the author to play the piano? (no more than 8 words)

60. What do you think of Pasha? Why? (no more than 25 words)

58. The development of the plot.
59. The author acknowledged that when playing the piano she only moved figures automatically without thinking.
60. Pasha is not only a friendly girl but a great and intelligent piano player.Because she helped the author learn piano in an effective way.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在新朋友的帮助下如何学习钢琴的故事。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“I daydreamed what I’d rather be doing. I had been tutored enough to read, understand, and even write some musical compositions, but I just didn’t have a gift for it. But Mrs. Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free, so I felt it my duty to try.（我幻想着我宁愿做什么。我接受了足够的辅导让我能够阅读、理解，甚至写一些音乐作品，但我没有天赋。但是温莎太太主动提出免费给我上课，所以我觉得我有责任去尝试）”可知，Windsor太太好心给她授课、学习音乐，但是作者一直学不好，这就是她难过的原因，所以当要去Windsor太太家时，她难过地叹气。故答案为Because she failed to learn music well though Mrs. Windsor had taught him for free.
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第三段第二句“There was a long pause. “Jennifer, what are you hearing in the music?”（停顿了很长时间。“Jennifer，你在音乐里听到了什么？”）”可知Pasha尝试让Jennifer听到音乐里的故事。根据第七段第二句“Now the princess appears and she’s picking flowers from the water’s edge.（现在公主出现了，她正在水边采花）”可知在后来她又在弹琴时跟Jennifer讲了故事，故可知通过边弹钢琴便讲述其中的故事，她带给了Jennifer灵感。故答案为By telling stories while playing the piano.
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第七段三四句“A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha’s dancing fingers. “Oh, but she slips!” The music changed.（一段快乐的音乐及时传到了Pasha舞动着的手指上。“哦，但她滑倒了！”音乐发生变化了）”可知，音乐之所以变化，是因为相关故事情节发生了变化。故答案为The development of the plot.
【59题详解】
考查句意猜测。根据第二段倒数第二句“I arranged my fingers on the keys. Then I frowned (皱眉) and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements.（我把手指放在琴键上。然后我皱起眉头，集中精力让页面上的音符与手指的动作相匹配）”可知，作者弹琴完全就是手指位置和音符位置对上，是机械僵硬的；而后文第三段第二三句“There was a long pause. “Jennifer, what are you hearing in the music?” I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn’t know what she meant.（停顿了很长时间。“Jennifer，你在音乐里听到了什么？” 我很奇怪地看着她，承认我不知道她的意思）”可知，Pasha问她听到什么时，她承认没听到什么，这也说明她弹琴只是手指在动，没有思想。故答案为The author acknowledged that when playing the piano she only moved figures automatically without thinking.
【60题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第二段第三句“With a smile, Pasha sat beside me on the piano bench, opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play.（Pasha笑着坐在我旁边的钢琴长椅上，打开我的乐谱，让我弹奏）”可知Pasha很友善，愿意教一个不认识的人学钢琴；根据第七段第三句“A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha’s dancing fingers.（一段快乐的音乐及时传到了Pasha舞动的手指上）”再结合她用边弹奏边讲故事的方法教会作者弹钢琴可知，Pasha很擅长弹钢琴且充满智慧。故答案为Pasha is not only a friendly girl but a great and intelligent piano player.Because she helped the author learn piano in an effective way.
