B.Innovative and honest.C.Humorous and aggressive.petitive and ambitious.CI’m Naomi Shah,and today I’ll be talking to you about my research involving indoor air quality and asthmatic（哮喘）patients.1.6million deaths worldwide.One death every20seconds. People spend over90percent of their lives indoors.And the economic burden of asthma go beyond that of HIV and tuberculosis（肺结核）combined.Now these statistics had a huge impact on me.I started researching,and I soon found that indoor air pollutants were the main causes.But soon after,I developed a novel mathematical model that essentially measures the effect of these environmental pollutants（污染物）on the lung health of asthmatic patients.I have a volunteer subject in the audience today,Julie.And all of Julie’s data has beenpre-entered into my interactive software model.So Julie’s going to her doctor’s office to get treated for her asthma.And the doctor has her sit down,and he takes her peak breath flow rate. I’ve entered it up into the interactive software model.I’ve also entered in her age,her gender and her height.Any users just clicked on“lung function report”and it’ll take them to this report that I created.When the doctor sees this,maybe he would say,“Wow,we need to give her steroids（类固醇),medication and so on.”But I want everyone here to reimagine a world where instead of prescribing steroids and medication,the doctor turns to Julie and says,“Why don’t you go home and clean out your air cleaner.Clean out the air dusts in your home,in your workplace,in your school.Stop the use of incense and candles.And if you’re remodeling your house,take out all the carpeting and put in hardwood flooring.”Because these solutions are natural,these solutions are sustainable,and these solutions are long-term investments--long-term investments that we’re making for our generationand for future generations.So I’m very passionate about this research and I really want to continue it and expand it to more diseases besides asthma,as well as more pollutants.To know more relationship between them is my main task.But before I end my talk today,I want to leave you with one saying.And that saying is that genetics loads the gun,but the environment pulls the trigger（扳机）.8.What does the underline word“subject”probably refer to in Paragraph3?A.The research leader.B.The research participant.C.The research instructor.D.The research designer.9.What is the writer’s attitude towards the research?A.DoubtfulB.FavorableC.CriticalD.Disapproving10.What suggestion may the author give to Julie to ease her symptom(症状)？A.She had better use incense and candles.B.She should have the air cleaner replaced.C.She has got to take steroid and medication.D.She is supposed to carpet the floor with hard wood.11.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?A.To show the author’s passion.B.To stress the significance of the environment.C.To emphasize the urgency to deepen the research.D.To introduce the research between diseases and pollutants.DWhen office workers were sent home in the spring of2020,managers suddenly faced a new challenge:how to monitor teams that were working remotely.A new book,“Leading at a Distance”,by James Citrin and Darleen Derosa of Spencer Stuart, an executive-search firm,attempts to provide some practical tips for managers dealing with staff whom they do not see face to face.The authors are not in the gloomy(阴暗的)camp that believes remote working is a disaster. They think it can be just as effective as face-to-face work.They point out that the ability to hire people who can work anywhere means that businesses will find it easier to develop more diverse workforces.A study by McKinsey,a consultancy(咨询公司),found that70%of companies thought remote hiring would help in this respect.The book offers some useful advice.For starters,keep virtual teams small.The upper threshold(界限)seems to be around a dozen.A study found that37%of low-performing teams had 13or more members.In addition,the best-performing teams tended to be drawn from one department,such as marketing,rather than from across the firm.Mr Citrin and Ms Derosa also warn of the dangers of virtual meetings.Just because it is possible to schedule one does not mean it is necessary or wise to do so.Poorly run meetings do not just waste time,they threaten the ability to meet deadlines,adding to workers’stress.Long meetings should have breaks,allowing for a gap between sessions in an hourly schedule.A few things must change when people work remotely.But not everything does.Managers will need to make a more determined effort to keep in contact with their staff.If,as most people expect,a hybrid(混合的)model emerges with remote working a couple of days a week,there will be plenty of space for interaction when managers and team members are both present.12.What did James Citrin and Darleen Derosa attempt to do in the book?A.Provide some tips for employees.B.Help managers to see staff face to face.C.Raise some questions on working remotely.D.Address some practical matters on remote managing.13.What would remote hiring help employers to do?A.To keep in touch with staff in different ways.B.To employ more hard-working labor forces.C.To have easy access to various labor forces.D.To hire less labor forces working in foreign countries.14.What does the author talk about in the last but one paragraph?A.The dangers of wasting time.B.The need to schedule meetings.C.The disadvantages of online meetings.D.The things we should avoid in meetings.15.What is the best title for the text?A.How to lead remotelyB.How to hold virtual meetingsC.How to keep in contact with managersD.How to tackle affairs when working remotely第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

BSeven years ago, American Libby Green was traveling with her mom to the French Mediterranean resort city of Nice. Meanwhile, German-born Marcel Gnauk and a friend were also in Nice, attending the Crossover Festival, a celebration of eclectic music.Walking on the city’s beachfront Promenade des Anglais, Marcel spotted Libby holding a Hasselblad, a traditional medium-format film camera, and couldn’t resist approaching her. The pair chatted about this valuable object and then their travel. The next day, Libby flew back to the US, but they kept in contact.In the early years of their relationship, sharing their travel experiences online became part of their routine. Then, when traveling in Phnom Penh, Libby filmed some pigeons taking flight that she wanted to use in a film. But she couldn’t record the sound of their wing beats.They looked on the internet, searching sound libraries, but couldn’t find anything appropriate. So, Marcel took a $100 audio recorder, and went sear ching for the missing sound to record. He didn’t find any pigeons—but he did manage to change the direction of the couple’s future.Marcel turned the recorder on in a small construction zone where women were shoveling gravel, listening through a cheap set of headphones. He was shocked. Everything became alive, and from that day until now he had never stopped recording.In the six years since that first recording, Libby and Marcel have captured audio in more than 25 countries. They share their experiences through Instagram. Through postings they offer not just their passion and experiences recording sounds, but also details of the equipment and techniques they use. Through their website they offer 500 royalty-free sound libraries. Of these, 145 are free to download.Marcel says their “a-ha” moment came when he was sitting in front of a computer in 2017. Libby had added a donation button to their website, and a Hollywood post-production creative had donated a few dollars. He realized others shared a passion for sound—and were willing to pay for it. Now their passion becomes a business.；4. What attracted Marcel when he saw LibbyA．Her voice. B．Her camera. C．Her kindness. D．Her beauty.；5. Which moment was of significance to the coupleA．When they made a film in France.B．When they shared travel experiences online.C．When they searched the woods for a specific bird.D．When they tried to record sounds of birds beating wings.；6. What does the author want to convey by saying “‘a-ha’ moment” in the last paragraphA．Marcel got a surprise. B．Marcel could do nothing but sigh. C．Marcel couldn’t say a word. D．Marcel felt really worried.；7. What is the best title for the textA．An Unforgettable Travel B．A Secret to HappinessC．A Passion for Sounds D．A Lesson From NatureCWhen Katja Edler noticed tightness around her right shoulder in 2017, she assumed she’d been spending too much time at her desk. The 44-year-old book editor worked from home. About three months later, her symptoms were worse: “I got up one morning ina lot of pain and couldn’t lift my arm.”Edler met with a surgeon, who took an X-ray and then identifiedthe problem: she had frozen shoulder. The condition affects up to 5% of people and occurs when the connective tissue surrounding theshoulder-joint capsule becomes inflamed (发炎的). Over time, this tissue thickens and hardens, causing pain and restricted movement. Women are four times more likely to have frozen shoulder than men, and people with heart disease are at higher risk. “It’s surprisingly common in people in their 40s to 60s, especially in people over the age of 60, said physiotherapist Karen McCreesh. She said patients typically describe the discomfort as “burning” and it is often worse at night. While it’s rare to have a recurrence (复发) in the same shoulder, about 10 to 15 per cent of patients will develop it on the other side, according to Dr. Rangan.Early treatment improves the symptoms faster, but identifying the condition can be a challenge, since it’s hard to know how it develops. It’s more likel y to happen if your shoulder has been immobile because of a broken arm after a fall. But in most cases, the problem seems to come out of nowhere.There remains no known way to prevent the condition, which is why an early diagnosis (诊断) is so important. Dr. Rangan suggests “Taking your shoulders through a range of movement every day to make sure they don’t tighten up. If you notice anything, seek help.”；8. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphsA．Edler identified the problem by herself.B．Males take higher risk to have frozen shoulder.C．Frozen shoulder is caused by restricted movement.D．The people in their 60s are more likely to have frozen shoulder.；9. Why is it difficult to identify the condition of frozen shoulder A．It will not occur again. B．The symptoms will get worse.C．It will develop on the other side. D．The causes of the symptoms vary.；10. What can be done if something gets wrong with your shoulders A．Consult for help. B．Wait for it to heal.C．Identify the condition. D．Move your shoulders daily.；11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the textA．To offer advice. B．To show concern.C．To share experience. D．To share information.DWhat is a hero We may think of the fictional characters with supernatural powers or great people who can influence world events. Now, as the nation continues its all-out efforts to fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19), medical staff (职工) have become heroes in the eyes of the public.As of Feb 19, a total of 33,000 medical staff outside Hubei province have been working to treat patients around the center of the outbreak.Zhang Dingyu, the president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, is one ofthese heroes. Since the hospital received the first seven patients in December, Zhang has been so busy that he barely gets any sleep. Even suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (肌萎缩侧索硬化), the 56-year-old doctor is doing his best to quicken his pace to save precious time for infected patients. “I have to run, racing against time to save more patients from the deadly disease, because I don’t have much time left in my life,” Zhang told Xinhua News Agency.With the duty of saving lives, many medical professionals like Zhang have been working long hours for days, despite their fear and worries.Lu Jingjing from Wuhan Children’s Hospital also works at a temporary mobile hospital. She does not let her parents know that she is now working with novel coronavirus-infected patients. When her parents ask for a video chat, Lu says she is working and lets her husband and children chat with them instead.“It’s dangerous but we should win the battle with the virus as soon as possible, so that medical staff and patients can go back home,” she told China Daily.US writer Khalil Gibran (1883-1931) once wrote, “Tenderness a nd kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but the manifestations of strength and resolution.” It’s true for the medicalworkers.Everyone has fear, especially when it comes to deadly diseases. But for medical staff, saving lives comes first and is enough for them to be brave and stay on the front. They may look like ordinary people in daily life, but in these extraordinary times, they are heroes. 12. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article A．To explain what makes a modem-day hero.B．To praise medical staff for their efforts to fight the COVID-19. C．To describe what measures China has taken to deal with the virus.D．To show the difficulties faced by medical staff treating NCP patients.13. What do we learn from Zhang Dingyu’s wordsA．His illness has turned him into an impatient man.B．His illness makes him work without fear.C．He feels sorry for himself because of his illness.D．He wants to help as many patients as possible.14. Why doesn’t Lu Jingjing answer her parents’ video calls A．She is too busy and has no time for video chats.B．She doesn’t want her parents to worry about her.C．It’s not allowed to make a video call from the hospital. D．There is no WiFi signal at the temporary mobile hospital.15. The underlined word “manifestations” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means “”.A．results B．differencesC．signs D．advantages第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

AMany tourists visiting the USA on vacation enjoy shopping for bargains. You can find many bargains in the US if you know where to shop and how to take advantage of the competitive sales.Department stores offer good quality and high fashionMacy’s department stores offer a wide selection of merchandise(商品), including fashion clothing, luggage and jewelry. They normally offer good quality merchandise, well known brands and the latest fashions, but not low quality products at bargain prices. They frequently have seasonal sales with attractive discounts. At such times, you can get high quality or fashion merchandise at bargain prices.General merchandise stores offer affordable qualitySears and JCPenny are two large national chains with stores across the US. They are similar to department stores but they do not offer high fashion merchandise or luxury(奢侈的) brands. Instead, they feature good quality merchandise at affordable prices. They are particularly known for their selection of children's clothing and domestic goods. Sears is famous for its selection of tools and garden products.Discount stores sell at low pricesDiscount stores sell some good quality merchandise at affordable prices and some lower quality merchandise at very low prices. If you are not looking for the latest fashions, famous brands, or the best quality, you can find some very inexpensive merchandise at a discount store. Some national discount chains with stores across the US are K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Target and Caldor.Outlet stores are a bargain hunter's wonderlandOutlet stores or factory outlets sell high quality merchandise and well-known brands at discounted prices. They usually offer merchandise with slight flaws(瑕疵) and remainders from the last season or the previous year. They do not have end-of-season sales like the department stores, as their merchandise is always discounted 20% to 40% below department store prices.21.

He had threatened to do it many times before, but my mother had always managed to prevent him from doing so. This time he insisted on doing it.The latest incident was the last straw. Impulsively(冲动地), I had pushed Mr. Ford, my math teacher, down a flight of steps at school. He broke his arm in two places. Anyway, he had agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad, who was in the middle of a tight race for sheriff(执法官) in our town. But my reckless behavior had my dad’s closest advisor talking.“John, he’s your son and he’s a kid, but he is dragging you down,” I heard Jake Hutch tell my dad through his closed office door the night after I pushed Mr. Ford. “If you can’t make your son obey the rules, how can you make the law obeyed in this town?”So, off to Pisgah National Forest I went. I imagined hours of untold abuse at the hands of some strong sergeants(军士). I was determined no to be broken. I was who I was.Nearly every day for six months, a small group of other troubled teens and I carried our 30-pound backpacks on a difficult journey covering about 10 miles. We hiked in a rough wilderness that seemed untouched by civilization.Our sergeants were firm but kind, not frightening as I had imagined. We learned how to make a fire without matches and create a shelter with branches and grass. We learned which plants were safe to eat out in the wild. I felt myself change. I was calm and often reflective. My old, impulsive self was gone.One morning, six months later, my dad came to pick me up. I ran to hug him and saw relief and love in his eyes.“So what’s it like being sheriff?” I asked on the ride home.“I lost the race, Danny,” he said.“I’m sorry, Dad.” I knew my behavior probably had a lot to do with the defeat.Dad squeezed my shoulder and brought me close. “As long as I don’t ever lose you, I’m okay.”24. The author was finally sent to wilderness because _____.A. he could learn how to survive in the wildB. his teacher insisted on giving him a lessonC. he pushed his math teacher down the stairsD. his mother feared that he would be accused25. The underlined word “reckless” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. selfishB. carelessC. rudeD. reasonable26. What can we learn about the author from the passage?A. He changed a lot after the camp.B. He was not satisfied with his life in the camp.C. He was still what he used to be after the camp.D. He made enemies with other troubled teens at the camp.27. How did the author’s father feel at the end of the story?A. Grateful.B. Annoyed.C. DisappointedD. RelievedCYou may have experienced the annoyance of being fined because of parking illegally or finding your car towed away(拖走)after leaving it parked somewhere for a couple of minutes．But now a high-tech car sticker that’s designed to be stuck to a car’s windscreen could help motorists avoid such a situation．The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when touched by a traffic policeman，to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their cars immediately．Frankfurt-based IT consultant，Daniel Kalliontzis，came up with the idea and is raising money to put his ￡43 sticker into production．Car owners can put the sticker inside their car’s windscreen，having set it up with key information，such as their phone number．The slim design will include a sensor(传感器)that，when touched by a traffic policeman，will send a text message warning a driver of a possible fine．The driver could then type a reply for the policeman using a smartphone，which will appear on the sticker’s screen．The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic policemen and in a way，a German law．The law states：an officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle．It could be cheaper for the government to call the driver than to tow his car．Mail Online asked the Department of Transport whether the sticker could be used in the UK in a similar way．A spokesman said，“In England there is no legal duty to warn the motorist before issuing the ticket．However，a policeman does have the discretion not to issue a ticket if he doesn’t think the situation is that bad or he just wants to issue a warning．”So far，Mr．Kalliontzis has raised just over￡2,362 of his￡39,381 goal．If he manages to raise the money，the stickers will be shipped in June 2015．But it appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages，because anyone could touch the smart sticker．28. The author wrote the third paragraph to _______________．A. explain how a smart car sticker worksB. advise drivers to buy a car stickerC. show the importance of a sensorD. tell drivers how to park a car29. We may infer from the text that in Britain _______________．A. car owners don’t have to worry about a parking ticketB. smart car stickers wouldn’t work as well as in GermanyC. traffic policemen prefer to call a driver rather than tow his carD. the Department of Transport thinks highly of smart car stickers30.The underlined word “discretion” in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by“____________”．A. troubleB. pressureC. freedomD. opportunity31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Daniel Kalliontzis — a great inventorB. Environment-friendly car stickersC. Parking systems in EuropeD. End of the parking ticket?DWith the development of science and technology, new inventions, especially new electronic products, have made people’s lives easy and convenient. But as the saying puts: A coin has two sides.One day, I was walking in the park with a friend and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation.The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation(疏远) index goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.Pumping petrol at the station? Why say good morning to the attendant when you can swipe(刷)your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact?Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to a teller who might live in the neighborhood when you can just insert your card into ATM?Pretty soon you won’t have the burden of making eye contact at the grocery shop. Some supermarket chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding those check-out people who look at you and ask how you are doing.I am not against modern technology. I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice mail system, and an email account. Giving them up isn't wise…they're a great help to us. It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail picked up a call because I didn't really have time to talk. The communications industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging, with people who live near me，no cell phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.32. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. The Advance of Communications TechnologyB. The Consequences of Modern TechnologyC. The Process of Communications RevolutionD. The Automation of Modern Communications33. Paragraphs 5 to 7 are listed as examples, which show that the use of modern communicationsis ___________.A. encouragingB. disappointingC. satisfyingD. embarrassing34. The passage implies that _______________.A. modern technology is bridging the peopleB. modern technology is separating the peopleC. modern technology is developing too rapidlyD. modern technology is interrupting our lives35. What does the writer think to do with the modern technology?A. We may use them no matter what others are doing.B. We can throw them away and return to the ancient.C. We can be far away from them forever.D. We can use them less and communicate with the people around us.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
