There was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.”
Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are.”
Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” Mario said.
Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.
Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.
Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. (爷爷离开了,很快就回来了,好像手里拿着什么东西,但Mario什么也没看到。)”可知,马里奥的爷爷从阁楼里没有拿任何东西。故选D。

(带走它。这是一把非常特别的椅子。因为它是隐形的,所以很难坐在上面,但如果你把它带到学校,并设法坐在上面,你就能分辨出谁是你真正的朋友。)”可知,爷爷告诉Mario如果他可以坐到这把隐形的椅子上,那么Mario就可以知道谁是自己真正的朋友。由此可知,爷爷给Mario隐形椅子的目的是为了测试谁是他真正的朋友。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.(这次他坐着,在半空中悬停。)”和倒数第二段中的“Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall.

When you talk to doctors in the hospitals, it often happens that most of them are very serious and speak in a range of terms that may be difficult to understand. But Zhang Wenhong, the leader of the Shanghai team of experts in the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia, is one of the exceptions. He caught the public's attention for his recent frank and funny speech.
Zhang's words first went viral on the Internet after he said in late January that he had sent doctors and nurses who are members of the Communist Party of China(CPC) to frontline hospitals to treat coronavirus cases. "When becoming CPC members, we vowed that we would always put people's interests first in the face of difficulties," Zhang said. “This is the moment we live up to the vow. All CPC members must rush to the frontline. No bargaining." Such a hardcore declaration of his attitude won widespread applause among Internet users. “A person's morals are witnessed most in a critical situation. Nothing could win more recognition from the people than the down-to-earth behavior of the CPC members, said Yang Haiyan, a 32-year-old Shanghai resident.
One month later, when Zhang advised local residents to reduce the risk of spreading the virus by staying at home, he said in Shanghai dialect: "If you don't stop seeing friends, you will see them again in the ICU.”
Though chased by the media, Zhang described himself as a medical worker who must speak out now, but will return to keeping a low profile after the outbreak ends. "I spoke because of the fear among the public, owing to limited knowledge of the contagion," said Zhang on Feb 26. “However, once the curtain of this coronavirus incident falls, it may be hard to find me. I’ll just hide myself in a comer, studying complicated patient cases and doing some reading, silently.”
8. What has made Zhang Wenhong so popular online
A. His attitude towards his patients. B. His honest and humorous speech.
C. His vow to fight against the virus. D. His broad knowledge of the virus.
9. Why did Zhang Wenhong send CPC members of medical staff to frontline hospitals
A. They would not bargain.
B. They should do as they had vowed.
C. They would be calmer in a critical situation.
D They could win recognition from the people.
10. What can we infer from Zhang Wenhong's words in the last paragraph
A. He doesn't like to speak in public.
B. He is looking forward to taking a break.
C. He is not a person who is after fame and attention.
D. He mainly treats people with complicated diseases.
11. In which column of a newspaper may the passage appear
A. Figure B. Life C. Entertainment D. Medicine
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了上海新型冠状病毒肺炎治疗专家组组长张文宏因其讲话在网上走红的相关事情和张文宏对他走红事件的一些看法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“He caught the public's attention for his recent frank and funny speech.(他因最近坦率而有趣的演讲而引起了公众的注意)”可知,张文宏诚实幽默的演讲让他网上受欢迎。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Zhang's words first went viral on the Internet after he said in late January that he had sent doctors and nurses who are members of the Communist Party of China(CPC) to frontline hospitals to treat coronavirus cases. "When becoming CPC members, we vowed that we would always put people's interests first in the face of difficulties," Zhang said.(张文宏的这句话首次在网上疯传,是在1月底,他说他将共产党员医生和护士派去抗疫一线,救治新冠肺炎患者,张文宏说:“共产党员在宣誓的时候不是说吗,把人民利益放在第一位,迎着困难上)”可知,张文宏将共产党员派去一线的原因是他相信他们应该按照他们所宣誓的那样去做。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“"I spoke because of the fear among the public, owing to limited knowledge of the contagion," said Zhang on Feb 26. “However, once the curtain of this coronavirus incident falls, it may be hard to find me. I’ll just hide myself in a comer, studying complicated patient cases and doing some reading, silently.”(张在2月26日表示:“我站出来说话是因为公众对于传染病的认识有限,产生了恐慌情绪,当新冠大幕落下,你也就很难找到我了,我就躲在角落里安静地看书,研究复杂病例了”)”可推知,张文宏不是一个追名逐利的人。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But Zhang Wenhong, the leader of the Shanghai team of experts in the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia, is one of the exceptions. He caught the public's attention for his recent frank and funny speech.(但上海新型冠状病毒肺炎治疗专家组组长张文宏是一个例外。他最近的坦率而有趣的演讲引起了公众的注意)”结合文章讲述了上海新型冠状病毒肺炎治疗专家组组长张文宏因其讲话在网上走红的相关事情和张文宏对他走红事件的一些看法。可推知,文章可能出现在报纸的“人物”专栏。故选A。

As the world sees more and more extreme weather patterns, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the effects of climate change. It is now a common topic of discussion and it has even found its way into the books we read. Because of this, a genre (类型) called climate fiction, or cli-fi, has found new life.
The term “cli-fi” was first used in 2007 by US climate activist and writer Dan Bloom. He wanted to make “climate fiction” more appealing. According to Bloom, the term really gained popularity when Canadian writer Margaret Atwood used it in Twitter, introducing it to her half-a-million followers.
As the name suggests, climate fiction refers to stories with a central theme of climate change or global warming. These kinds of books can help us imagine what the world might be like in the future because of major climate change events.
Adeline Johns-Putra is a professor of literature at Xi’ an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in Suzhou and has edited many books on climate fiction. “It’s part of a pattern,” Johns-Putra told Smithsonian Magazine. “It’s a feedback loop (环), as these books feed into our awareness and that feeds into our demand to read these books.”
The genre is also gaining popularity with high school and college students because it looks at topics that are relevant to what’s really happening today. Also, many cli-fi novels tend to have dystopian (反乌托邦的) themes, which are very popular in young adult novels.
In 2015, cli-fi author Sarah Holding wrote for The Guardian that cli-fi “reconnects young readers with their environment”, which helps them appreciate it more, “especially when today, a large amount of their time is spent in the virtual world”.
Cli-fi has also helped to inspire students to pursue science majors, with some universities even offering courses specifically focusing on climate fiction.
“These books aren’t going to save the world in any straight form or way,” Johns-Putra commented. “But they’re certainly going to help us think about how the world gets saved.”
As Atwood wrote in her dystopian cli-fi novel MaddAddam, “People need such stories, because however dark, a darkness with voices in it is better than silent space.
12. What is cli-fi
A. Stories about country life. B. Stories about the future.
C. Stories about climate change. D. Stories with dystopian themes.
13. How does cli-fi influence young students
A. It encourages them to write their own cli-fi.
B. It raises their awareness of the real world.
C. It makes them more interested in the virtual world.
D. It teaches them to appreciate what they have.
14. What does Atwood think of cli-fi
A. They are too dark for people.
B. They tend to make people feel empty.
C. They should involve different voices.
D. They can get people thinking about their reality.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article
A. To introduce a new genre of writing.
B. To warm readers of future climate crises.
C. To introduce a famous US climate activist.
D. To inspire students to pursue science majors.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是气候小说或气候变化小说的流派的产生。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“As the name suggests, climate fiction refers to stories with a central theme of climate change or global warming.(顾名思义,气候小说是指以气候变化或全球变暖为中心主题的小说。)”可知,cli-fi是关于气候变化的故事。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第四段的“In 2015, cli-fi author Sarah Holding wrote for The Guardian that cli-fi “reconnects young readers with their environment”, which helps them appreciate it more, “especially when today, a large amount of their time is spent in the virtual world”.(2015年,气候变化小说作者Sarah Holding为《卫报》撰文称,气候变化小说“将年轻读者与他们的环境重新连接起来”,这有助于他们更加欣赏环境,“尤其是如今,他们的大量时间都花在了虚拟世界中”。)”可知,气候变化小说对年轻学生的影响是它提高了他们对现实世界的认识。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“As Atwood wrote in her dystopian cli-fi novel MaddAddam, “People need such stories, because however dark, a darkness with voices in it is better than silent space.(阿特伍德在她的反乌托邦气候变化小说《马达亚当斯》中写道:“人们需要这样的故事,因为无论多么黑暗,有声音的黑暗总比寂静的空间好。”)”可知,Atwood认为气候小说可以让人们思考他们的现实,故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“As the world sees more and more extreme weather patterns, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the effects of climate change. It is now a common topic of discussion and it has even found its way into the books we read. Because of this, a genre (类型) called climate fiction, or cli-fi, has found new life.(随着世界目睹越来越多的极端天气模式,人们越来越难以忽视气候变化的影响。它现在是一个常见的讨论话题,甚至在我们读的书中也找到了它的方式。正因为如此,一种被称为气候小说或气候变化小说的流派获得了新生。)”可知,作者写本文的目的是介绍一种新的写作体裁。故选A。

根据上文“When a week flies by quickly, maybe you can’t help asking yourself, “What did I do last week Where did the time go ” Life seems to be out of control and soon, before we know it, we’ll become old and wonder what we’ve achieved. (当一周飞快地过去时,也许你会忍不住问自己:“上周我做了什么?时间都去哪儿了?”生活似乎失去了控制,很快,在我们意识到这一点之前,我们就会变老,并想知道我们取得了什么)”结合后文介绍了规划生活的方法,故F选项“事实上,如果我们学会规划生活中的每一周,我们都能拥有一个成功的人生”符合语境,故选F。
【17题详解】
根据上文“the first thing you should do is write down what is most important to you in your life. For example, what are your deepest values (你应该做的第一件事是写下你生活中最重要的东西。 例如,你最重视的是什么?)”以及后文“What do you imagine yourself being and doing 10 years from now (你想象10年后自己是什么样子,在做什么事?)”可知,本句与前后文并列,都是在就生活中最重要的东西进行设问。故C选项“是什么让你每天都充满希望?”符合语境,故选C。
【18题详解】
根据上文“It is also necessary to create a plan every Sunday evening for the following week.(每周日晚上为接下来的一周制定一个计划也是很有必要的)”以及后文“Put all of them in your schedule. It is important that you have made proper plans like going to the grocery store or getting something done for your work or study. What’s more, make sure that you understand things will come up suddenly.(把它们都写在你的日程表里。重要的是,你已经制定了适当的计划,比如去杂货店或为你的工作或学习做一些事情。更重要的是,确保你明白事情会突然出现)”可知,本句是在说明制定计划的过程,后文them指代G选项中considering what needs to get done。故G选项“在家里一个安静的地方坐下来,考虑需要做些什么”符合语境,故选G。
【19题详解】
根据后文“You’d better print out your schedule and make it able to be seen throughout the week. Furthermore, at the end of each day, think of what you enjoyed doing.

(你最好把你的日程表打印出来,让大家都能看到。此外,在每天结束的时候,想想你喜欢做什么。这将帮助你感激每一天,并最终活得更有意义)”可知,后文提到把日程表打印出来,让大家都能看到,可见是在建议要时常回顾自己的计划,故D选项“一旦你制定了一个计划,每天都去看看是很重要的”符合语境,故选D。
【20题详解】
根据上文“In a word, when you are at work, be at work. (总之,当你在工作的时候,专心工作)”以及后文“To live a successful life, you have to stay focused on what is in front of you! (想要成功的生活,你必须专注于你面前的一切!)”可知,上文假设的情景是工作,后文则提到专注眼前,即处在什么样的状态,就专心于什么,上文提到工作,本句应当是提到在家的时候,故B选项“当你在家的时候,就好好放松”符合语境,故选B。

【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:同上。分析句意可知,此处表泛指,且set以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。

Der Lun followed his mother to the market as usual. He was very excited because the market was such a place full of energy and life. There was always something interesting to see.
That day, Der Lun caught sight of a middle-aged man with untidy hair and old clothes. He was a beggar. He held out a wooden bowl and passers-by dropped in coins. Der Lun’s mother put a small coin into the bowl as she passed him by. His eyes followed the mother and son as they set off for home. As Der Lun and his mother turned into the narrow path that led to their house, he suddenly realized that the beggar was following them. Der Lun told his mother about it. Alarmed, she quickened her steps and as soon as they got inside their house, she locked it. Der Lun peered out the window and saw the beggar sitting on the ground near the gate. Why did the beggar follow them Der Lun wished he knew.
After a couple of hours, Der Lun’s mother became concerned for the poor beggar. He had not moved from his spot. She gathered up her courage and went to ask the beggar to leave. But the beggar merely looked at her with a gentle smile. Worried that he would fall ill with no food and water, she sent Der Lun to give him a bowl of rice and vegetables and some tea. The beggar ate and drank. Then he lay down under a tree to sleep. Der Lun’s mother was at a loss as to what else to do. She was just a poor single mother with a young son. Since the beggar refused to leave, she and Der Lun built a little shelter for him. He seemed content with whatever they gave him.
A week passed and one day, Der Lun found the beggar gone. Der Lun and his mother searched for him but he was nowhere to be found. Not long after that, a car stopped outside Der Lun’s house and two well-dressed men got out.
The men introduced themselves as lawyers representing Mr. Cheong.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The men introduced themselves as lawyers representing Mr. Cheong. They explained that Mr. Cheong wanted to repay Der Lun and his mother. Mr. Cheong was a millionaire who had been once homeless.Now that he was rich, he liked to look for deserving people to help. He wanted to give Der Lun and his mother a sum of money because they had been kind to him. Der Lun and his mother couldn’t believe their good fortune. They treated the beggar well out of sympathy. They never expected to be so richly rewarded. How could they use the sum of money Mr. Cheong gave “Granny can be saved from her serious illness.”“Der Lun, you can go to college in time!” Der Lun and his mother both cried, smiling.

There was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.”
Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are.”
Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” Mario said.
Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.
Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.
Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.

When you talk to doctors in the hospitals, it often happens that most of them are very serious and speak in a range of terms that may be difficult to understand. But Zhang Wenhong, the leader of the Shanghai team of experts in the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia, is one of the exceptions. He caught the public's attention for his recent frank and funny speech.
Zhang's words first went viral on the Internet after he said in late January that he had sent doctors and nurses who are members of the Communist Party of China(CPC) to frontline hospitals to treat coronavirus cases. "When becoming CPC members, we vowed that we would always put people's interests first in the face of difficulties," Zhang said. “This is the moment we live up to the vow. All CPC members must rush to the frontline. No bargaining." Such a hardcore declaration of his attitude won widespread applause among Internet users. “A person's morals are witnessed most in a critical situation. Nothing could win more recognition from the people than the down-to-earth behavior of the CPC members, said Yang Haiyan, a 32-year-old Shanghai resident.
One month later, when Zhang advised local residents to reduce the risk of spreading the virus by staying at home, he said in Shanghai dialect: "If you don't stop seeing friends, you will see them again in the ICU.”
Though chased by the media, Zhang described himself as a medical worker who must speak out now, but will return to keeping a low profile after the outbreak ends. "I spoke because of the fear among the public, owing to limited knowledge of the contagion," said Zhang on Feb 26. “However, once the curtain of this coronavirus incident falls, it may be hard to find me. I’ll just hide myself in a comer, studying complicated patient cases and doing some reading, silently.”
8. What has made Zhang Wenhong so popular online
A. His attitude towards his patients. B. His honest and humorous speech.
C. His vow to fight against the virus. D. His broad knowledge of the virus.
9. Why did Zhang Wenhong send CPC members of medical staff to frontline hospitals
A. They would not bargain.
B. They should do as they had vowed.
C. They would be calmer in a critical situation.
D. They could win recognition from the people.
10. What can we infer from Zhang Wenhong's words in the last paragraph
A. He doesn't like to speak in public.
B. He is looking forward to taking a break.
C. He is not a person who is after fame and attention.
D. He mainly treats people with complicated diseases.
11. In which column of a newspaper may the passage appear
A. Figure B. Life C. Entertainment D. Medicine
D
As the world sees more and more extreme weather patterns, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the effects of climate change. It is now a common topic of discussion and it has even found its way into the books we read. Because of this, a genre (类型) called climate fiction, or cli-fi, has found new life.
The term “cli-fi” was first used in 2007 by US climate activist and writer Dan Bloom. He wanted to make “climate fiction” more appealing. According to Bloom, the term really gained popularity when Canadian writer Margaret Atwood used it in Twitter, introducing it to her half-a-million followers.
As the name suggests, climate fiction refers to stories with a central theme of climate change or global warming. These kinds of books can help us imagine what the world might be like in the future because of major climate change events.
Adeline Johns-Putra is a professor of literature at Xi’ an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in Suzhou and has edited many books on climate fiction. “It’s part of a pattern,” Johns-Putra told Smithsonian Magazine. “It’s a feedback loop (环), as these books feed into our awareness and that feeds into our demand to read these books.”
The genre is also gaining popularity with high school and college students because it looks at topics that are relevant to what’s really happening today. Also, many cli-fi novels tend to have dystopian (反乌托邦的) themes, which are very popular in young adult novels.
In 2015, cli-fi author Sarah Holding wrote for The Guardian that cli-fi “reconnects young readers with their environment”, which helps them appreciate it more, “especially when today, a large amount of their time is spent in the virtual world”.
Cli-fi has also helped to inspire students to pursue science majors, with some universities even offering courses specifically focusing on climate fiction.
“These books aren’t going to save the world in any straight form or way,” Johns-Putra commented. “But they’re certainly going to help us think about how the world gets saved.”
As Atwood wrote in her dystopian cli-fi novel MaddAddam, “People need such stories, because however dark, a darkness with voices in it is better than silent space.
12. What is cli-fi
A. Stories about country life. B. Stories about the future.
C. Stories about climate change. D. Stories with dystopian themes.
13. How does cli-fi influence young students
A. It encourages them to write their own cli-fi.
B. It raises their awareness of the real world.
C. It makes them more interested in the virtual world.
D. It teaches them to appreciate what they have.
14. What does Atwood think of cli-fi
A. They are too dark for people.
B. They tend to make people feel empty.
C. They should involve different voices.
D. They can get people thinking about their reality.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article
A. To introduce a new genre of writing.
B. To warm readers of future climate crises.
C. To introduce a famous US climate activist.
D. To inspire students to pursue science majors.

Der Lun followed his mother to the market as usual. He was very excited because the market was such a place full of energy and life. There was always something interesting to see.
That day, Der Lun caught sight of a middle-aged man with untidy hair and old clothes. He was a beggar. He held out a wooden bowl and passers-by dropped in coins. Der Lun’s mother put a small coin into the bowl as she passed him by. His eyes followed the mother and son as they set off for home. As Der Lun and his mother turned into the narrow path that led to their house, he suddenly realized that the beggar was following them. Der Lun told his mother about it. Alarmed, she quickened her steps and as soon as they got inside their house, she locked it. Der Lun peered out the window and saw the beggar sitting on the ground near the gate. Why did the beggar follow them Der Lun wished he knew.
After a couple of hours, Der Lun’s mother became concerned for the poor beggar. He had not moved from his spot. She gathered up her courage and went to ask the beggar to leave. But the beggar merely looked at her with a gentle smile. Worried that he would fall ill with no food and water, she sent Der Lun to give him a bowl of rice and vegetables and some tea. The beggar ate and drank. Then he lay down under a tree to sleep. Der Lun’s mother was at a loss as to what else to do. She was just a poor single mother with a young son. Since the beggar refused to leave, she and Der Lun built a little shelter for him. He seemed content with whatever they gave him.
A week passed and one day Der Lun found the beggar gone. Der Lun and his mother searched for him but he was nowhere to be found. Not long after that, a car stopped outside Der Lun’s house and two well-dressed men got out.
The men introduced themselves as lawyers representing Mr. Cheong.
