26、 The Chinese-American cartoonist Weng Chen has transformed her dreamlike life during the epidemic into comics, which have drawn attention from people in both the US and China. The creative mind records her true life in humorous satire, revealing her dilemmas and frustrations when confronting different COVID-19 responses from two cultural backgrounds.
The artist now lives in Seattle, the first city ravaged by the coronavirus in the US. And the first-known US case, from the Life Care Center in Kirkland, Washington, is only a 10-minute drive from her daughter’s school. Moreover, months earlier, she was already anxiously checking the news from her hometown of Wuhan, the hardest-hit city in China.
Washington state announced a stay-at-home order on March 23. However, her two children, ages 7 and 5, had spent three weeks at home already due to the suspension of classes in her school district. And if Weng’s experience is any measure, the multitasking between work and child care at home can prove challenging.
The students do have online courses from school, but it’s the parents’ duty to ensure their children carry out the study on the app. “The teacher will give assignments online, and the student can choose to complete or ignore them,” she said. “Even if you submitted your assignment, the teacher won’t review it. It’s pretty casual.”
As an Asian American, Weng is prudent about protection and naturally considers wearing a mask a necessity. In one of her strips, she listed several common circumstances for Asians to put on masks in daily life. In contrast, Americans instinctively say “nah” masks even when told they can safeguard against Ebola and HIV.①
After the face mask story was published on social media platforms abroad, comments trickled in, such as this one: “Some Americans use them for robbing 7/11 stores.”②
However, as the pandemic worsens in the US, Weng’s comics also chronicle Americans’ changing attitude when they finally come to realize the importance of social distancing, which, to some degree, is good news for her.
While acknowledging the deep-rooted stereotypes of Chinese in US society, Weng says “many incidents occurred because we don’t know each other”.③
The cartoonist said she frankly has no intention to justify or explain anything. “I like to draw my life. When people read my comics, they may think ‘we’re alike’,” she said. “Then they’d realize I am from China.” ④
【1】Which city was Weng Chen the Chinese American cartoonist born?
A.Shanghai. B.Wuhan
C.Jinan D.Beijing.
【2】The underline word “prudent” in paragraph 5 means “______.”
A.careful B.skeptical
C.casual D.satisfied
【3】From the passage, we know that _____.
A.Americans think only patients wear masks.
B.African Americans use masks for robbing.
C.Americans think it is necessary to wear masks for protection.
D.Asian Americans think it is necessary to wear masks for protection.
【4】The missing sentence “And she offers insightful stories from a personal perspective to overcome this ignorance”. should be put in ______.
A.① B.②
C.③ D.④
27、Why humans make and appreciate music is an evolutionary (进化的) mystery. Recently David Schruth and his colleagues have a new explanation. They say the roots of human music can date back to the branches of trees more than 50 million years ago, when the first primates (灵长类) appeared. Early primates moved around forest by leaping (跳跃) from branch to branch, a very dangerous way to travel that relies on hand and eye working together and control over muscles.
Schruth argues that a primate that calls in a musical way is advertising that it has fine control over its vocal (声音的) muscles. This might have convinced other primates that the caller also had fine control over its body. His another research shows the species that leap the most tend to have more complicated calls, which the team jokingly named as ‘protomusical’.
Hagen, a worldwide famous scientist in this field, commented on the research: “Some people would not include what we see in primates and songbirds as music. But I do see a continuity between human music and primate vocalizations”.
Hagen doesn’t think human music has a single, simple explanation. He argues that human ancestors originally used music-like vocalizations in two ways: groups vocalized together to send
a signal of strength and unity to scare outsiders away, and mothers used vocalisations to communicate with babies. Also another idea: humans used music to strengthen social bonds.
All these ideas might be compatible, says Hagen. Protomusic could have evolved in primates both to attract companions and for territorial signaling. Later, as early humans began cooperating in large numbers, protomusic might have been repurposed so it could attract rather than frighten outsiders, while also strengthening social bonds within groups.
【1】What is Schruth’s finding?
A．Primates have the most complex calls.
B．Human ancestors leap around trees skillfully.
C．Frequent movements sharpen early human calls.
D．Complicated vocalizations result from more leaps.
【2】What’s Hagen’s attitude to Schruth’s research?
A．Negative.
B．Skeptical.
C．Supportive.
D．Cautious.
【3】Which word can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?
A．Clever.
B．Reasonable.
C．Misleading.
D．Contradictory.
【4】What’s the best title of the text?
A．Repurposed functions of music
B．Arguments on primates’ evolution
C．Origins of music linked to leaping
D．Discoveries about the human origins
28、 You can't always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet.
That's why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. "Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬) built into a street lamp,"he said.
The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there's also a 360 motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone's using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department and insists this creation should be installed on the street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
【1】For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?
A. To predict a heavy rain.
B. To check the weather forecast.
C. To protect people from the rain.
D. To remind people to take an umbrella.
【2】What do we know from Belyaev's words in Paragraph 2?
A. His creation was inspired by an experience.
B. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.
C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.
D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.
【3】Which of the following show how the Lampbrella works?
A. Motor→canopy→sensors.
B. Sensors→motor→canopy.
C. Motor→sensors→canopy.
D. Canopy→motor→sensors.
【4】What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbreila?
A. Its moving speed.
B. Its appearance.
C. Its installation.
D. Its safety.
29、 Too often a learner of English who has read one or two classics tries to imitate(模仿) their style. The fact, however, is that style cannot be imitated. Different authors have different styles. They do not try to write the way they write. So the imitation of any style often results in affectation(矫揉造作).
And the result will be till worse if the style imitated is that of a work written a hundred years ago or more. We are of the 21st century, and we should not write the English of the last century.
I would advise you not to aim at a special style. Take care to write correct, simple, idiomatic, and clear English, that’s all.
But imitation is not always bad. Very often it is important to imitate something. Where personal style is out of place, imitation is the only means by which correctness may be secured. In writing an advertisement about something, for example, you have to imitate some such advertisement that you have read. You cannot possibly write a good one if you have never read any, though you may have read very widely in general literature.
You will do well to collect a number of short advertisements, formal invitations, announcements, and business contracts, etc. When you have occasion to write one of such, you have simply to do a little imitating and adapting. The following is an ordinary formal invitation:
Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Adams request the pleasure of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Williams’s company at dinner on Saturday evening, May the seventeenth, at seven o’clock, 86 Star Street.
This invitation is from Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Adams to Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Williams. Surely, with this piece before you, you can write a new one. You have simply to change the names, the day, the date, the time, and the address.
【1】Why is it especially wrong to imitate the style centuries ago?
A.Because the language is out of date.
B.Because the writers have passed away.
C.Because the style is difficult to follow.
D.Because the contents are behind the times.
【2】What’s the author’s attitude towards imitation?
A.English learners should never imitate others’ writing style.
B.Imitation is the first step for English learners to write articles.
C.English learners should imitate formal writing styles like advertisements.
D.It is always correct for learners to imitate the classic writing styles.
【3】What does the writer most probably do?
A.He is a professor in university. B.He is an English teacher.
C.He is an English novelist. D.He is a classic translator.

32、 Here’s an awkward confession (承认): I’ve cried at every job I’ve had. I always find it difficult to___ my emotions. And each time I’ve___ exactly why these emotional moments are considered so taboo (忌讳的). Is it a universal truth that you just can’t cry at work ?
As someone puts it on the internet, as professional women, we’re dealing with the great expectation to “be __ in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire” while also making enough money to pay rent. __ , my eyes get a little watery just thinking about it. So if crying at work is unavoidable – yet taboo – what is an ambitious young woman to do to __ after one of these embarrassing incidents?
My usual routine after an in-office __ is to remove my contact lenses, have a massive iced-coffee, and ___it never happened (until it happens again). Clearly, I’m no expert on the right professional response. So I spoke with my personal finance coach, Ashley Feinstein Gerstley, to see if she had any __ for reducing the humiliation (丢脸).
“It’s so __ , but telling yourself not to cry usually __ making you cry more,” she says. “You’re using all your energy to hold it together, but there’s so much pressure that the tears will almost unavoidably come. If you do get upset, it can be helpful to __ yourself from the situation. Take a minute to get it together, and come back ready to have a more composed (镇静的) exchange.”
Maybe there’s some __ in crying. I’ve definitely found that __ the taboo can lead to greater relationships with __. I’ve noticed how tears have helped solve a disconnection or problem that might __ have gone unsolved. To be honest, I’m hoping to recognize, if not celebrate, the rare office cry as a hidden skill for greater future.

33、Gone are the days when big businesses were looked upon by environmentalists as enemies in the fight against global warming.
Just two weeks after U. S. President Donald Trump pulled his country out of the Paris Climate Agreement, more than 900 American firms put their _______to a “We Are Still In” open letter to the United Nations. Together, they promise to help reduce America’s carbon emissions by 26 percent by 2025, _______the Paris Climate Agreement.
_______, big businesses have been taking climate change seriously for years now. Alongside energy-efficiency measures, the strongest evidence of their _______has been the number of new wind and solar projects that they have been helping to build around the world. IT firms such as Amazon and Google have been using clean energy to power their servers (服务器). Some environmentalists now believe that big businesses could become strong _______behind the worldwide spread of renewable energy. “There used to be little action,” says Marty Spitzer of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), “Now, I see fundamental _______being made.”
More recently, this enthusiasm for environmental protection has _______from corporate headquarters to branches and suppliers, and from developed countries to emerging markets. Take Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, for example. In March 2016, it said that it would require its own operations and those along its _______chain to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by one billion tons by 2030. This is _______to taking 211 million passenger cars off America’s roads for a year. The announcement was ________by the WWF and other conservation organizations, which are helping Walmart’s suppliers work towards this goal. Apple, maker of the iPhone, has said that seven of its biggest global manufacturers have promised to power their Apple-related ________with renewable energy by the end of this year.
According to the WWF, in the United States alone, nearly two dozen of the biggest firms have committed themselves to becoming 100 percent renewable in the near future. Hervé Touati of the Rocky Mountain Institute, a clean-energy research firm, explains the ________behind this trend. Going green improves the companies’ public image and helps attract customers, staff and investors.
Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world’s biggest brewer (啤酒公司), has lots of young people among its many ________. Many of them take environmental issues seriously. Electricity, used ________in the brewing process, amounts to a tenth of its total costs. Last year, the company set out to increase the role of renewables in generating ________to 100 percent by 2025. “My generation often takes energy and clean air for granted,” said Tony Milikin, the firm’s chief sustainability officer. “The generation coming up now looks at it totally differently.”

34、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
AI artwork sells for $432,500 — nearly 45 times its high【1】 — as Christie’s becomes the first auction house to offer a work of art created by an algorithm. This portrait, however, is not the product of a human mind. It was created by an【2】 intelligence, an algorithm defined by that algebraic formula with its many parentheses. And when it went under the【3】 in the Prints & Multiples sale at Christie’s on 23-25 October, Portrait of Edmond Belamy sold for an【4】 $432,500, signaling the arrival of AI art on the world auction stage.
From a distance, Portrait of Edmond de Belamy looks almost plausible. Up close, however, the paintwork becomes a grid of mechanical-looking dots, the man’s face a golden blur with black holes for eyes. Look into those eyes. They show no sign of feeling or life. Did a computer make this?
The answer is yes. The first artwork【5】 by AI to be sold at Christie’s, its【6】 price would seem to suggest that in future we will get computers to make art for us. Robot van Gogh will harmlessly cut its ear off and robot Picasso will be a genius.
Is this the future AI art visionaries such as the French collective Obvious, which programmed this “painter” by getting it to compare its own work with 15,000 pre-20th century portraits, have in mind? Or are they just, God forbid, making a fast buck from deceivable art collectors? Because believing the algorithm that knocked this up to be in any meaningful way an “artist” is like thinking your voice-interaction programme is out to get you. Dream on. Computers would need to replicate human consciousness before they could replicate the funny thing humans do called “art”.
Art is a way in which human 【7】 expresses itself, and is equally true of the earliest cave art, Rembrandt’s portraits and Duchamp’s urinal. And that is what is missing from Portrait of Edmond Bellamy. Art is a way humans communicate ideas, perceptions and feelings to each other. It has no 【8】 outside the human passion to communicate. So in what meaningful sense can an AI replica of certain【9】 traits of old master paintings be called art?
For a robot to really make art, it would need an autonomous mind that was emotional as well as【10】. No AI developer has yet claimed to be anywhere near achieving that and if they ever do, their creation will probably have better things to do than paint portraits — like destroy humanity.
Maybe afterwards robots will invent their own kind of art, but it won’t be some poor pastiche of human genius.
It will be beyond anything we organics could imagine.

A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, becoming the first known case of human-animal 【1】, the zoo's chief veterinarian said on Sunday.
Nadia, the 4-year-old Malayan tiger that tested positive, was 【2】 for the COVID-19 disease after 【3】 a dry cough along with three other tigers and three lions, the Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the zoo, said in a statement.
All of the cats are expected to recover, it said. But officials believe this is a unique case because Nadia became sick after 【4】 to an asymptomatic zoo employee, Paul Calle, chief veterinarian at the Bronx Zoo, told Reuters.
Calle said they did not know which employee infected the tiger. "This is the first time that we have discovered that a person infects the animal and the animal gets sick," Calle said, adding that they planned to share the findings with other zoos and institutions. " I guess 【5】 we will all have a better understanding as a result.
While the other tigers and lions were also 【6】 symptoms, the zoo decided to test only Nadia because she was the sickest and had started to lose her appetite already, and they did not want to 【7】 all the cats to anesthesia(麻醉), Calle said.

40、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。
In 2000, when I was around seven years old, my parents, sister, brother, and I were coming back from a T-ball game. That was our usual weekend adventure, but unlike every other weekend, a surprise was waiting for us in our driveway. There, we spotted two adult geese and a baby goose. The adults were shocked by our return and flew away, but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn’t follow. We are no strangers to the ways of wildlife, so we knew to avoid physical contact with the baby goose out of fear that it would imprint upon us and be lost to its family forever.
Hours passed, and night fell. With it came a deep cold and a fear of watchful predators (捕食者).The tiny little thing was wandering around our yard, unaware of what could happen, and it was clear that the baby goose needed protection, warmth, and nutrients to make it to the morning. At that point. we knew we had to step in and brought him onto our back porch(门厅).
We all pretty much slept with one eye open till morning came. And then another morning. And still another. Each morning, we would try to send the goose over to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldn't go to them, though, and they wouldn't come close enough to claim him. We kept this up for five days, but no luck. By then, the young goose had clearly decided we were his new family, so we had to give him a name-Peeper, because he would follow us around the yard making a peeping noise, nonstop.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months until almost a year passed. We settled into a routine filled with feathery hugs and friendship. Peeper slept on our back porch each night and my dad would clean the goose droppings in the morning. Part of the routine included dad throwing Peeper up into the air so he could fly a loop (圈）around the house, coming back again once the porch was clean.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One evening, my dad threw Peeper up in the air as usual, but this time, Peeper just flew off. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It came as a total shock to me when.in 2019, an aging adult goose made his way back to my family home. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
