【解析】

此題是由三則故事組成的。第一則故事是英國首相鮑里斯治愈出院后的講話。第二則是講未來北冰洋的冰在夏天會消失。第三則講的是探索鳥類的大腦是如何運作的。

1

考查名詞單復數(shù)。句意:不僅是醫(yī)生和護士,是每一個個人,包括清潔工和廚師,還包括理療師、放射師、藥劑師等在內(nèi)的各種類型的醫(yī)療工作者。他們不停地工作,始終把自己置于危險的境地。根據(jù)句子the cleaners, the ___1___ (cook), the health care workers可知,這里是并列結構,并且前后都使用了名詞的復數(shù)。所以這里cook也應該用復數(shù)形式。故填cooks。

2

考查定語從句。句意:不僅是醫(yī)生和護士,是每一個個人,包括清潔工和廚師,還包括理療師、放射師、藥劑師等在內(nèi)的各種類型的醫(yī)療工作者。他們不停地工作,始終把自己置于危險的境地。在這句話中先行詞是workers工人。在定語從句里面,句子沒有主語,所以先行詞在句子中充當主語的成分,這里又是非限制性定語從句。故填who。

3

考查非謂語動詞。句意:不僅是醫(yī)生和護士,是每一個個人,包括清潔工和廚師,還包括理療師、放射師、藥劑師等在內(nèi)的各種類型的醫(yī)療工作者。他們不停地工作,始終把自己置于危險的境地。根據(jù)前文kept coming to work, kept putting themselves in harm's way,可知,這里需要使用keep doing,來進行并列。故填risking。

4

考查時態(tài)。句意:這支研究團隊通過對40個氣候模型分析出了最近的研究成果。分析這個動作發(fā)生在過去,但是分析出來的結果對后面的研究起了影響。也就是說發(fā)生在過去對現(xiàn)在造成了影響,所以要用現(xiàn)在完成時。主語team又是單數(shù)。故填has organized。

5

考查省略句。句意:正如預期那樣,在這種刺激下北冰洋的冰在夏季會快速消失。這里應該是北冰洋里的冰,正如預期那樣。冰和預期為被動關系,所以完整的句子as it is expected,it指代北冰洋里的冰,和主句的主語相同且謂語動詞為be動詞,則狀語從句中的主語和be動詞就可以省略。故填expected

6

考查副詞。句意:如果二氧化碳的排放量可以迅速減少的話。這里表達的意思是排放迅速減少,迅速是來修飾減少的。而reduce又是動詞詞性,所以前面要用副詞修飾。故填rapidly

7

考查賓語從句。句意:為了理解鳥類的大腦是如何轉變的。在這里從句跟在understand后作賓語就是賓語從句。change做不及動詞,賓語從句為主謂結構。這里作方式,要表示“如何”這個含義。故填how。

8

考查名詞。句意:這里有一個關于各種現(xiàn)代鳥類大腦測量的數(shù)據(jù)庫?崭袂笆嵌ü谠~the,空格后又是with所帶的后置定語,所以空格應該填名詞形式。故答案填combination

9

考查固定搭配。句意:在高級恐龍的大腦和原始鳥類的大腦之間,并無太大的區(qū)別。在這里要表達的意思是“在……之間”。這里只有恐龍和鳥類兩者,則為固定搭配between…and。故填between。

10

考查時態(tài)。句意來自Hopkins University大學的Amy教授這樣說道。在這個段落里面都使用的是一般現(xiàn)在時。而這句話中并無明顯的時間狀語標志,則應該與整段話一致。教授說這句話是主動關系,且主語是單數(shù)。故填notes

【題目】 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

【題目】 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”
