recently we celebrated my grandmother’s 90th birthday. family members traveled to my hometown to visit her. this was the first time in many years that i had seen so many of them. though this was an opportunity to see family, many people did not make it. honestly, living far from hometown, i had missed many family gatherings. but this one made me realize how much i was really missing.
it seemed strange when i was looking at the laces, realizing whom they were and greeting them with open arms. after chatting for a while, we caught up on each other’s news. several relatives suggested having a family reunion soon if everyone wasn’t so busy. but my grandmother’s generation was much busier, yet still found time to gather. they understood the importance of visiting one another. they knew time is flying and that those you care about most won’t be here forever.
today, we focus on our careers and raising our kids. our extended family isn’t the center it once was. besides, we keep in touch on social media. but what we really miss are the potato salad, the moments of laughter and sudden bursts of excitement when we hug someone we haven’t seen for over 10 years. although the next get-together is always a year or so away, people aren’t goods and everyone has an expiration(到期)dale.
i left my grandmother’s party with a much better sense of who i am and where i come from. i spent valuable time with people who contributed to who i am today. i had forgotten how much i love them and i was reminded how much i am loved.

people have many different ways to relax during break time at work or school. smartphones are probably the number one choice for a quick mental vacation. although it might seem like a good time, the result is opposite, according to a recent psychological study from rutgers university.
for the study, more than 400 students were asked to finish a set of 20 word puzzles. halfway though the task, the students were divided into three groups. one group was allowed to take a break and use cellphones to buy things online. the second group was asked to have a rest and buy things using a computer. the last group didn't take any break at all.
surprisingly, the group that used their cellphones during the break went back to work feeling the most tired and least motivated to continue. they also had the hardest time solving the remaining word puzzles.
terri kurtzberg, co-author of the study, explained that they assumed looking at cellphones during a break would be no different from any other break—but instead, the phone may cause increasing levels of distraction that make it difficult to return focused attention to work tasks.
“cellphones may have this effect because even just seeing your phone activates thoughts of checking messages, connecting with people, and more, in ways that are different than how we use other screens like computers, and laptops," kurtzberg said.
this is echoed by a recent study from the us university of chicago. it found that even if cellphones are turned off or turned face down, their mere presence reduces a person's cognitive capacity.
8. what can we learn from the study
a. the participants were divided into groups at the beginning.
b. the last group had the hardest time solving the word puzzles.
c. computers and laptops cause more distraction.
d. cellphones may make people less focused on work.
9. what does the underlined word “echoed” in the last paragraph mean
a. agreed. b. remembered. c. overcome. d. complained.
10. what suggestion will the author give in the following paragraph
a. try putting your smartphone away during your next break.
b. using computers to shop online rather than cellphones.
c. stop checking messages and connecting with people by cellphone.
d. turning off your cellphone during work time.
11. what's the text mainly about
a. ways to relax for students. b. the result from a word- puzzle game.
c. a study on using smart-phones to relax. d. effects brought by the smart-phone.
【答案】8. d 9. a 10. a 11. c
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了最近的一项心理学研究表明，在休息时间玩手机，可能会使人们无法再次专心于工作。文章介绍了这项研究开展的过程以及发现，同时其他大学的最新研究也证实了这一点。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“surprisingly, the group that used their cellphones during the break went back to work feeling the most tired and least motivated to continue. they also had the hardest time solving the remaining word puzzles.(令人惊讶的是，在休息期间使用手机的那组人在返回工作时感到最累，也最没有动力继续工作。他们也最难解决剩下的字谜)”以及第四段“terri kurtzberg, co-author of the study, explained that they assumed looking at cellphones during a break would be no different from any other break—but instead, the phone may cause increasing levels of distraction that make it difficult to return focused attention to work tasks.(这项研究的合著者terri kurtzberg解释说，他们以为在休息时看手机和其他休息没有什么不同，但事实上，手机可能会导致更多的分心，使人们难以将注意力重新集中到工作任务上)”可知，研究发现手机可能会使人们难以重新专心工作。故选d。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“it found that even if cellphones are turned off or turned face down, their mere presence reduces a person's cognitive capacity.(研究发现，即使手机关机或面朝下，它们的存在也会降低一个人的认知能力)”可知，画线词所在句意思为：美国芝加哥大学最近的一项研究也认同了最新的研究发现。即画线词意思为“认同”。a. agreed.同意，认同；b. remembered.记得；c. overcome.克服；d. complained.抱怨。故选a。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“this is echoed by a recent study from the us university of chicago. it found that even if cellphones are turned off or turned face down, their mere presence reduces a person's cognitive capacity.(美国芝加哥大学最近的一项研究也印证了这一点。研究发现，即使手机关机或面朝下，它们的存在也会降低一个人的认知能力)”结合文章主要介绍了最新研究发现休息时间使用手机会使人们难以将注意力重新集中到工作任务上，可推知，作者在下一段中将建议下次休息的时候把智能手机收起来。故选a。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“people have many different ways to relax during break time at work or school. smartphones are probably the number one choice for a quick mental vacation. although it might seem like a good time, the result is opposite, according to a recent psychological study from rutgers university.(人们在工作或学习的休息时间有许多不同的放松方式。智能手机可能是快速精神度假的首选。罗格斯大学最近的一项心理学研究表明，虽然这看起来是一个好时机，但结果却恰恰相反)”结合文章主要说明了最近的一项心理学研究表明，在休息时间玩手机，可能会知道人们无法再次专心于工作。文章介绍了这项研究开展的过程以及发现，同时其他大学的最新研究也证实了这一点。可知，文章的主要内容是关于使用智能手机放松的研究。故选c。

if you’re homeless and looking for a temporary shelter in hawaii’s capital, expect a visit from a robotic police dog that will scan your eyes to make sure you don’t have a fever. that’s just one of the ways public safety agencies are starting to use spot, a new robot that runs around with quick movement.
the police officials experimenting with the four-legged machines say they’re just another tool to keep emergency responders out of harm’s way as they search for dangers.
joseph o’neal, an officer of the honolulu police department, said the robot has protected officers, shelter staff and residents by scanning body temperatures between mealtimes at a shelter where homeless people could quarantine (隔离) and get tested for covid-19. the robot is also used to remotely interview individuals who have tested positive (阳性).
the company that makes the robots, boston dynamics, says it’s trying to do a good job of explaining to the public and its customers what spot can and cannot do. “one of the most difficult tasks is accurately explaining the state of the technology to people who have never had personal experience with it,” said michael perry, vice president of the company.
there are roughly 500 spot robots now in the wild. perry said they’re commonly used by companies to check dangerous areas. spot is also used to monitor construction sites, mines and factories, equipped with whatever sensor is needed for the job.
it’s still mostly controlled by humans, though all they have to do is tell it which direction to go and it can climb stairs or cross over rough areas. it can also operate autonomously, but only if it’s already memorized a road and there aren’t too many surprise obstacles (障碍). “the first value that most people see in the robot is taking a person out of a dangerous situation,” perry said.
12. what do police officials use spot robots do
a. find out patients’ eye problems. b. treat patients’ fever.
c. protect homeless people. d. take people’s body temperature.
13. what’s the main idea of paragraph 3
a. the shelter where people get tested. b. the function of the robotic police dog.
c. the future development of the robots. d. the characteristic of the four-legged machine.
14. what’s the company’s big challenge
a. how to describe the technology. b. how to win its customers’ trust.
c. how to promote spot robots. d. how to produce more spot robots.
15. what can we infer about spot robots from the last paragraph
a. they can plan their own road easily. b. they can remember a familiar road.
c. they can overcome many obstacles. d. they can choose direction themselves.
【答案】12. d 13. b 14. a 15. b
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个名为spot的机器人，它可以在疫情期间检测人们的体温和检查一些危险区域等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“joseph o’neal, an officer of the honolulu police department, said the robot has protected officers, shelter staff and residents by scanning body temperatures between mealtimes at a shelter where homeless people could quarantine (隔离) and get tested for covid-19.”（火奴鲁鲁警察局官员约瑟夫·奥尼尔表示，该机器人通过在庇护所内在进餐时间之间扫描体温来保护官员、庇护所工作人员和居民，无家可归的人可以在该庇护所隔离并接受新冠肺炎检测。）可知，警察可以使用该机器人为人们扫描体温，起到保护官员、庇护所工作人员和居民的目的，由此可知，警察使用spot机器人测量人们的体温。故选d项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。通读第三段内容，结合关键句“joseph o’neal, an officer of the honolulu police department, said the robot has protected officers, shelter staff and residents by scanning body temperatures between mealtimes at a shelter where homeless people could quarantine (隔离) and get tested for covid-19.”（火奴鲁鲁警察局官员约瑟夫·奥尼尔表示，该机器人通过在庇护所内在进餐时间之间扫描体温来保护官员、庇护所工作人员和居民，无家可归的人可以在该庇护所隔离并接受新冠肺炎检测。）可知，警察可以使用该机器人为人们扫描体温，由此可知，第3段主要讲的是机器人警犬的功能。故选b项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段关键句““one of the most difficult tasks is accurately explaining the state of the technology to people who have never had personal experience with it,” said michael perry, vice president of the company.”（该公司副总裁迈克尔·佩里表示：“最困难的任务之一是向从未有过亲身经历的人准确解释技术的现状。”）可知，该公司面临的最困难的任务之一是向从未有过亲身经历的人准确解释这项技术，由此可知，公司面临的最大挑战是如何描述这项技术。故选a项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“it can also operate autonomously, but only if it’s already memorized a road and there aren’t too many surprise obstacles (障碍).”（它也可以自主操作，但前提是它已经记住了一条路，并且路上没有太多令人惊讶的障碍。）可知，spot机器人可以记住一条路，由此可知，我们可以从最后一段中推断出spot机器人能记住一条熟悉的路。故选b项。

【16题详解】
根据本空前的“studying longer does not necessarily mean studying better.”可知，学习时间长并不意味着学得更好，下文又介绍了高效学习的几点建议，故g项（为了充分利用时间，你需要学会如何高效地学习）符合语境。
【17题详解】
根据本空前的“the first thing you need to do is avoid distractions (分散注意力的事物) while studying.”可知，你需要做的第一件事就是避开学习时分散注意力的事物，故c项（这意味着去一个能给你带来平静的地方）符合语境。
【18题详解】
根据本空前的“as a general rule, assign (分配) at least one hour to each subject.”可知，每个科目至少安排一小时，故f项（如果你有一个宽泛的科目，你需要把它分成更小的部分）符合语境。

【点睛】过渡句是七选五的常见考点，被选选项一定要起到承上启下的过渡作用，既要对应上问话题，又要引出下文（通常是方法或建议），例如本篇第1题，上文提到学习时间长并不意味着学得更好，下文又介绍了如何高效学习的几点建议，g项（为了充分利用时间，你需要学会如何高效地学习）既对应了上文提到的学习时间这一话题，又引出了下文高效学习的几点建议，符合语境。

【35题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：无可否认，我重新失去了那位女士给我的10分钟的一部分，但这是一种回报她的方式，为环境做一件小事。a. recall召回；b. help帮助；c. appreciate赞赏；d. repay报答。根据最后的“do a small thing for the environment”可知，作者把降低了油耗，保护环境看作回报那位女士的一种方式。故选d项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是三星堆遗址的相关信息。
【36题详解】
考查最高级。句意：位于广汉市的三星堆遗址是中国乃至世界上最重要的古代遗迹之一。此处为固定搭配：one of 形容词最高级 名词复数，故填most important。
【37题详解】
考查物主代词。句意：三星堆遗址以其丰富的文化内容、庞大的规模和自创建以来的悠久历史而闻名。rich cultural content和it之间是所属关系，因此空格处用its，故填its。
【38题详解】
考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：三星堆遗址以其丰富的文化内容、庞大的规模和自创建以来的悠久历史而闻名。since引导的时间状语从句中要用一般过去时，it（三星堆遗址）是被建，因此空格处是一般过去时的被动语态，主语it是单数，因此空格处是was created。故填was created。
【39题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：三星堆遗址由几个大遗址区组成，被认为是四川省最大的古蜀文化遗址，总面积达12平方公里。be made up of是固定短语，意为“由……组成”，因此空格处是介词of，故填of。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：三星堆遗址由几个大遗址区组成，被认为是四川省最大古蜀文化遗址，总面积达12平方公里。空格处用副词totally修饰动词extending，故填totally。
【41题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：根据专家们所能找到的资料，三星堆遗址存放着大约2800到4800年前的真实生活，这意味着生活在神秘遗址后面的人生活在新石器时代晚期。空格处引导的是宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，此处表示“根据专家们所能找到的资料”，因此空格处用what引导宾语从句，故填what。
【42题详解】
考查现在分词。句意同上。means后宾语从句的谓语动词是were，空格处用非谓语动词，people和live之间是主动关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，故填living。
【43题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：博物馆占地20万平方米，有许多现代化的设备。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语museum是单数，因此空格处用第三人称单数covers，故填covers。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：政府在博物馆建设上投入了3000多万元，营造了简约而又非常庄严风格。空格处用名词作宾语，construction“建设”是不可数名词，故填construction。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。style是可数名词，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，simple是辅音音素开头，不定冠词用a，故填a。
第三节 根据汉语意思补全句子（10空，每空0.5分，共5分）
46. 1967年，中国政府组建了一支以探索治疗疟疾新方法为目的的科学家队伍。
in 1967, the chinese government ________ a team of scientists with the__________ of discovering a new treatment for malaria.
【答案】 ①. formed ②. objective
【解析】
【详解】考查动词和名词。根据句子和句意，空处①应为表示“组建”的动词，用动词form，作谓语，由时间状语“in 1967”可知，本句应为一般过去时；由“with the”可知，空处②应为名词，作宾语，表示“目的”，用名词objective，介词短语with the objective of意为“以……为目的”，符合句意。故填①formed；②objective。
47. 他胡须浓密，头发又长又白，有时会像刚遭了电击似的竖起来。
he had a thick moustache and long white hair, __________sometimes stood on end ___________though he had just received an electric shock.
【答案】 ①. which ②. as
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和状语从句。分析句子结构，“__________ sometimes stood on end”是非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词hair，指物，关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语，所以空1填关系代词which。根据汉语提示“像”和空2后的though，空处填as，构成as though表示“好像”，引导方式状语从句。故填which; as。
48. 在你步入家门的一刹那，灯光亮起，你最喜爱的音乐或电视节目随即开启。
your lights will come on ______ ______ you enter the door along with your favorite music or tv programmes.
【答案】 ①. the ②. instant
【解析】
【详解】考查时间状语从句。根据句意及所给句子可知，此处使用the instant“一……就……”，引导时间状语从句。故填①the；②instant。
49. 在未来，我们每天将使用先进技术来自动控制我们家里几乎所有的东西。(将来进行时)
in the future,we ________ advanced technology every day for automatic control of just about everything in our home.
【答案】will be using
【解析】

50. 你的智能家居将会探测出来，并给你提供相关的信息。
your smart home will detect it and provide you with the__________ information.
【答案】relevant
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。“相关的”为形容词relevant，作定语，修饰名词information，故填relevant。

jenny watched lee walk ahead of her as they left school. he seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. he was just one of those people who were good at everything. jenny sighed. as she turned the corner, she saw lee’s watch lying right in the middle of the path.
jenny picked it up and wanted to return it to lee, but she couldn’t catch up with him. when she arrived home, jenny put it on, thinking about the magic. she was surprised that it fitted so well. she walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. words just flooded out of her. “i’m going to talk about swimming. i have been lucky. i’ve won lots of competitions. but when i’m in a race, i’m not really thinking about winning. i’m just loving the feeling of being in the water…” jenny laughed with excitement. she walked across the room. she suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. turning back to the minor, jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. the flashes of silver seemed almost magical. so maybe lee’s watch really did have something magical.
the next day, as the lesson began, miss walker ask cd who was going to be brave and go first. nobody moved, jenny slowly raised her arm. before miss walker could say something, there was a shout “she’s stolen in y watch!” lee said angrily. “it went missing at school yesterday.”

chinese tea culture
since china is viewed as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that chinese tea culture is rich with history and tradition. today, chinese tea continues to be used in chinese medicine and is commonly consumed on both casual and formal occasions both for personal enjoyment and to represent chinese cultural traditions.
japanese tea culture
japan also has a long history with tea, especially japanese matcha, which is a kind of ground green tea that is commonly used in japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years became popular in western culture.
british tea culture
when many people think about tea, british tea culture is what comes to mind. a hot cup of english breakfast or earl grey tea serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day. even though tea may not be native to england, this british tea tradition is still going strong today.
moroccan tea culture
when you visit morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a large part of moroccan hospitality. before any gathering, negotiation, or sale of a product, a pot of mint tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests. this is an expression of moroccan tradition and hospitality, which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect to the host.

recently we celebrated my grandmother’s 90th birthday. family members traveled to my hometown to visit her. this was the first time in many years that i had seen so many of them. though this was an opportunity to see family, many people did not make it. honestly, living far from hometown, i had missed many family gatherings. but this one made me realize how much i was really missing.
it seemed strange when i was looking at the laces realizing whom they were and greeting them with open arms. after chatting for a while, we caught up on each other’s news. several relatives suggested having a family reunion soon if everyone wasn’t so busy. but my grandmother’s generation was much busier, yet still found time to gather. they understood the importance of visiting one another. they knew time is flying and that those you care about most won’t be here forever.
today, we focus on our careers and raising our kids. our extended family isn’t the center it once was. besides, we keep in touch on social media. but what we really miss are the potato salad, the moments of laughter and sudden bursts of excitement when we hug someone we haven’t seen for over 10 years. although the next get-together is always a year or so away, people aren’t goods and everyone has an expiration(到期)dale.
i left my grandmother’s party with a much better sense of who i am and where i come from. i spent valuable time with people who contributed to who i am today. i had forgotten how much i love them and i was reminded how much i am loved.
4. how did the author feel about missing previous family gatherings
a. indifferent. b. sad. c. regretful. d. annoyed.
5. what do we know about the author’s grandmother’s generation
a. they were carefree. b. they held family dear.
c. they took time seriously. d. they seldom visited family.
6. what does the author mean by the last sentence in paragraph 3
a. family reunions mean no fun.
b. all goods don’t have an expiration date.
c. people are always too busy to get together.
d we should see loved ones more before it’s too late.
7. why does the author write the text
a. to convince readers to meet friends.
b. to share an interesting family reunion.
c. to stress the value of family gatherings.
d. to compare different generations’ values.
c
people have many different ways to relax during break time at work or school. smartphones are probably the number one choice for a quick mental vacation. although it might seem like a good time, the result is opposite, according to a recent psychological study from rutgers university.
for the study, more than 400 students were asked to finish a set of 20 word puzzles. halfway though the task, the students were divided into three groups. one group was allowed to take a break and use cellphones to buy things online. the second group was asked to have a rest and buy things using a computer. the last group didn't take any break at all.
surprisingly, the group that used their cellphones during the break went back to work feeling the most tired and least motivated to continue. they also had the hardest time solving the remaining word puzzles.
terri kurtzberg, co-author of the study, explained that they assumed looking at cellphones during a break would be no different from any other break—but instead, the phone may cause increasing levels of distraction that make it difficult to return focused attention to work tasks.
“cellphones may have this effect because even just seeing your phone activates thoughts of checking messages, connecting with people, and more, in ways that are different than how we use other screens like computers, and laptops," kurtzberg said.
this is echoed by a recent study from the us university of chicago. it found that even if cellphones are turned off or turned face down, their mere presence reduces a person's cognitive capacity.
8. what can we learn from the study
a. the participants were divided into groups at the beginning.
b. the last group had the hardest time solving the word puzzles.
c. computers and laptops cause more distraction.
d. cellphones may make people less focused on work.
9. what does the underlined word “echoed” in the last paragraph mean
a. agreed. b. remembered. c. overcome. d. complained.
10. what suggestion will the author give in the following paragraph
a. try putting your smartphone away during your next break.
b. using computers to shop online rather than cellphones.
c. stop checking messages and connecting with people by cellphone.
d. turning off your cellphone during work time.
11. what's the text mainly about
a. ways to relax for students. b. the result from a word- puzzle game.
c. a study on using smart-phones to relax. d. effects brought by the smart-phone.

if you’re homeless and looking for a temporary shelter in hawaii’s capital, expect a visit from a robotic police dog that will scan your eyes to make sure you don’t have a fever. that’s just one of the ways public safety agencies are starting to use spot, a new robot that runs around with quick movement.
the police officials experimenting with the four-legged machines say they’re just another tool to keep emergency responders out of harm’s way as they search for dangers.
joseph o’neal, an officer of the honolulu police department, said the robot has protected officers, shelter staff and residents by scanning body temperatures between mealtimes at a shelter where homeless people could quarantine (隔离) and get tested for covid-19. the robot is also used to remotely interview individuals who have tested positive (阳性).
the company that makes the robots, boston dynamics, says it’s trying to do a good job of explaining to the public and its customers what spot can and cannot do. “one of the most difficult tasks is accurately explaining the state of the technology to people who have never had personal experience with it,” said michael perry, vice president of the company.
there are roughly 500 spot robots now in the wild. perry said they’re commonly used by companies to check dangerous areas. spot is also used to monitor construction sites, mines and factories, equipped with whatever sensor is needed for the job.
it’s still mostly controlled by humans, though all they have to do is tell it which direction to go and it can climb stairs or cross over rough areas. it can also operate autonomously, but only if it’s already memorized a road and there aren’t too many surprise obstacles (障碍). “the first value that most people see in the robot is taking a person out of a dangerous situation,” perry said.
12 what do police officials use spot robots do
a. find out patients’ eye problems. b. treat patients’ fever.
c. protect homeless people. d. take people’s body temperature.
13. what’s the main idea of paragraph 3
a. the shelter where people get tested. b. the function of the robotic police dog.
c. the future development of the robots. d. the characteristic of the four-legged machine.
14. what’s the company’s big challenge
a. how to describe the technology. b. how to win its customers’ trust.
c. how to promote spot robots. d. how to produce more spot robots.
15. what can we infer about spot robots from the last paragraph
a. they can plan their own road easily. b. they can remember a familiar road.
c. they can overcome many obstacles. d. they can choose direction themselves.
