二、阅读理解（共4题，共 20分）

26、 I never thought I would go far from home. I was an ordinary high school student from a working-class family，and I didn’t think traveling the world was in the cards for me. For my undergraduate and doctor degree，I only applied to universities within an hour of my hometown in the United Kingdom. Staying at the same university seemed like the safe option. A few years later，as I was considering a postdoc（博士后），I once again wanted to stay close to home，in the comfort of my Ph. D. lab. But I hope to run my own lab one day，and I knew that seeing a different approach to science would be valuable.

I heard about a fellowship program in Japan that sounded like a good fit. The flexibility of the program appealed to me. I could choose how long I would be there-rom as little as a month to as month as a year-long enough to experience a new place, learn and get some msearch done but short enough to make the experience less scary. I thought of it almost as a holiday, somewhat like going to a conference in an interesting far-off place.

But when I was accepted, the head of the group I was going to join wanted me to stay for the full year. I hesitated. After much thought, I worked up my courage and signed on for the year-knowing that, if things went badly. I could come home earlier.

Almost everything was different from what I was used to, but getting used to these differences was easier than I had expected. Eating out with my labmates offers a great communicative opportunity. Talking with my new colleagues about their experiences conducting mearch in other countries helped open my eyes to new ways of doing things.

After my fellowship, I thought I would leave Japan to do a postdoc elsewhere. But when my fellowship adviser offered me a longer-term position in his lab. I couldn’t say no. This time,though,it wasn’t because I was afraid to go somewhere new. It was because I wanted to take advantage of an exciting opportunity. After the jump I took with fellowship. I now feel I can do anything.

27、 “Big data” lives up to its name: We produce 2.5 quintillion bytes (字节) of data every day through the digital connections that link people, objects, and devices. Every email, text, post, online search and doctor’s visit contribute to big data.【1】

Many believe it is. Stores are using it to improve our shopping experience.【2】 In the United States, Macy's department store credits big data with improving their customer satisfaction and helping to increase sales by 10 percent.

Banks are also putting quite a lot of money into big data.【3】 One area to benefit is customer service, where valuable information collected is supporting speedier decisions on loans (贷款) and credit while providing better protection against theft and even overspending.

Health care is also seeing a marked difference. Data collection is helping to reduce preventable deaths, improve quality of life, predict and cure diseases.【4】 Big data searches for patterns to predict how cancers will behave and recently led to the breakthrough discovery that a commonly used antidepressant (抗抑郁剂) has the potential to help find a cure for lung cancer.

Big data is still just getting started, but it already influences almost every area of our lives — mostly attempts to make them better. By 2021, there will be 200 billion connected devices.

【5】 If computational power and data scientists can keep pace with such growth, the potential for big data to make an even bigger difference is huge.

A.It’s even used in cancer research.

B.But is big data really making a difference?

C.Why is big data important to your business?

D.Over $20 billion were spent on data analysis in 2016.

E.Without big data analysis, companies are blind and deaf.

F.And we’re predicted to produce 1.7 million bytes of data per person, per second.

G.Data analysis enables stores to predict popular products and ensure competitive pricing.

28、 What do the random,scribbled(潦草的)drawings crowding the margins(页边空白)of most high school students’papers mean?When a student is caught doodling(乱画)in class,he will probably be criticized for daydreaming.But doodling while listening can help with remembering details,rather than implying that the mind is wandering,according to a study published in the scientific journal Applied Cognitive Psychology.

In an experiment conducted by the Medical Research Council’s Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge,40 subjects were asked to listen to a two-minute tape giving several names of people and places.Half of the participants were asked to shade in shapes on a piece of paper at the same time,without paying attention to neatness,while the rest were given no such instructions.After the tape had finished,all participants in the study were asked to recall the names of people and places.The doodlers recalled on average 7.5 names of people and places,compared to only 5.8 by the non—doodlers.

“If someone is doing a boring task,like listening to a dull telephone conversation,they may start to daydream.”said study researcher,Professor Jackie Andrade,of the School of Psychology,University of Plymouth.“Daydreaming distracts them from the task,resulting in poorer performance.A simple task,like doodling,may be enough to stop daydreaming without affecting performance on the main task.”

“In psychology,tests of memory or attention will often use a second task to selectively block a particular mental process.If that process is important for the main task,then performance will be weakened.But my research suggests that in everyday life doodling may be something we do because it helps to keep us on track with a boring,task,rather than being an unnecessary distraction(分心)that we should try to resist doing.”said Andrade.

Dan Ware,a social study teacher,used to consider doodling a distraction from learning,but after teaching kids with all personality types he learned scribbling away during lectures helps certain students remember more information.“In my first few years of teaching,I thought,‘Well,this kid isn’t paying attention.He’s daydreaming.’But I had some really powerful experiences with students and came to understand in many cases that was their way of focusing,and those students were probably paying more attention than other students.”Ware said.

【1】What do we know about the participants involved in the experiment?

A.Some were asked to note down the information neatly.

B.Some were asked to memorize the names they would hear.

C.Some were instructed to listen to the tape with full attention.

D.Some were instructed to make random drawings on paper.

【2】Which of the following will both Jackie Andrade and Dan Ware agree with?

A.Doodling helps some people focus.

B.Doodling makes a dull task interesting.

C.Students who doodle perform poorly.

D.Students who doodle lack concentration.

【3】What is the best title of the text?

A.Daydreaming Can Sharpen Study Skills

B.Doodling Can Help Memory Recall

C.A Wandering Mind Improves Productivity

D.Distractions Harm Academic Performance

29、 As you move out of your teens and into your 20s and 30s, your musical tastes start to solidify and you likely quit keeping up with popular music. Now, research has found the average age at which your music library is unlikely to change: 33.

The study's author reached this conclusion by analyzing data on U.S. Spotify users and comparing it to artist popularity data from music intelligence company The Echo Nest.

To determine the age at which we stop seeking out new tunes, the author gathered self-reported age data from Spotify and looked at users' "Taste Profiles," which tacks how many times listeners have streamed individual artists. These artists were then: matched to their popularity rank on The Echo Nest.

The average teen listens almost only to music among the Billboard, the 200 highest-ranking albums in the country, but this music represents a smaller part of their steaming as they age. In their teens, they listen to a lot of the same music, over and over again. Frank T. McAndrew, a professor of psychology at Knox Coll explains that's the "mere exposure effect" at work, and it basically means, the more we're exposed to something, the more we like it.

There are many reasons why a person may stop streaming the current top musical hits, and the author looked into one by identifying Spotify listeners with large amounts of children's music and nursery rhymes in their libraries. In other words, when users may have become parents.

But the study concludes with some good news for parents: “If you're getting older and can't find yourself staying as relevant as you used to, have no fear — just wait for your kids to become teenagers, and you'll get exposed to all the popular music of the day once again!”

【1】What happens after teens grow older?

A．They quit listening to music.

B．Their interest in music fades.

C．Their musical tastes become stable.

D．They change their music libraries.

【2】How do teens develop their musical tastes?

A．They act like their favorite popular stars.

B．They listen to what they like repeatedly.

C．They experience different styles of music.

D．They like high-ranking music worldwide.

【3】What's the good news for parents in the last paragraph?

A．Parents will regain their faith in music.

B．Parents will influence their teens in music.

C．Parents will hear their favorite music again.

D．Parents will enjoy the music for teens again.

34、I have a muscle disease but I don't look any different from other people. Sometimes, I was too weak【1】 go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an【2】(absent), I felt stupid because I was behind the others.

My life is a lot easier at high school because few fellow students make me【3】(annoy). My ambition is to work for a firm【4】develops computer software when I grow up. Last year I invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around【5】(feel) sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends. I spend a lot of time looking after my pets【6】(proper) but I find it worthwhile.

In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more【7】 (independence). I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it. If【8】(have) a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying. So don't feel sorry for the disabled or make fun【9】them, and don't ignore them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them encouragement to live【10】rich and full a life as you do.

35、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.

Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.

The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression, which can be 【1】 back to 500 years ago. The expression is used to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.

Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in “hot water”. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult 【2】. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head. You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. The problem is too deep. You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest in stocks in complete 【3】 of the stock market.

"Water over the dam" is another expression about a past event. It is something that cannot be 【4】. The expression comes from the idea that water that has 【5】 a dam cannot be brought back again. When a friend is 【6】 by a mistake she has made, you might tell her to forget about it. You say it is water over the dam.

Another common expression, "to hold water," is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from the way of testing the 【7】 of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your 【8】 can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes. If it does not hold water, then it is weak and can not be 【9】.

"Throwing cold water" also is an expression that deals with an idea or 【10】. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems. But you wife "throws cold water" on the idea, because she says a new car costs too much

36、阅读短文，根据短文内容及首字母提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词。

Wearing face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic p【1】 the spread of the deadly virus. But it is also i【2】. For one, we can no longer unlock our phones using facial recognition since a good part of our face is c【3】.

F【4】, tech companies are working to solve the problem. Apple, for example, offered a new way to unlock your iPhone and iPad with its l【5】 software update, iOS13.5, w【6】 was released on May 20.

Even though the update still won’t recognize your masked face, it makes the whole process f【7】. While the old system wouldn’t allow access t【8】 the passcode screen before three failed face scan attempts, iOS13.5 will send you straight to the passcode screen when you swipe up.

When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I occasionally allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears, with a fawn-colored coat. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it.

The dog was barely twelve weeks old. It had no collar or identifying marks of any sort. I didn't know what to do. I thought about running an advertisement in the lost-and-found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely.

By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook. I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone.

Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband.

By now we had named the dog. It looked like a Molly, so that was what we called it. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did housework, it was there to lend a hand.

There was only one problem with this otherwise perfect picture: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done.

Paragraph 1:

With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the receiver and dialed.

Paragraph 2:

One look at Molly and the woman’s face lit up like a Christmas tree.

Steve was the most amazing person in all of Minneapolis, and he was my cousin. By the age of 19, Steve was a star baseball player at the University of Minnesota. I wanted to be exactly like him. So when Steve asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I was excited!

After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies, and began our great adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening. On our way to the campsite, Steve pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the forester worked.

Finally, after a long walk, we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting. Steve knew all the tricks of an experienced wilderness camper. After we gathered enough wood from the forest, he started the campfire using only stone and steel — no matches. For supper we feasted on freeze — dried beef, wild rice and pea soup. I ate greedily after all that work.

Tired enough, we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day. We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up；the temperature dropped and it began to snow. Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire. Then he wrapped aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log. The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent. Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams.

The snow had stopped, but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire. I was suddenly awakened by Steve. Our tent was on fire. Frightened, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed 倒塌) with Steve inside. Without any thought of endangering myself, I reached into the burning tent and pulled him to the icy lake. Fortunately, we were not seriously hurt.

Paragraph 1:

Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation.

Paragraph 2:

Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest.
