And he is the reason why they were all there.（在乐队后面，屏幕上有一张年轻人的照片，他的名字叫 Philip Hancocko 因为他，他们才能都在那里）"；第三段中"The five people introduced themselves onstage. They are the ones who received Philip's organs.（五个人在台上做了自我介绍。他们接收了 Philip的器官）”以及最后 一段中 “Organ donation is not only the best way to honor a loved one, but also a remarkable way to save the lives of others.（器官捐赠不仅是纪念所爱之人的最好方式，也是拯救他人生命的非凡方式）”可知，这五个人组成了 这个乐队，是为了表达他们对菲利普的感激。故选D。【30题详解】 细节理解题 o 根据第四段中 “ From learning the guitar, to mastering the maracas and taking on the drums, they took time out of their busy lives to practice over the past year.（从学习吉他，到掌握沙球，再到打鼓，他们在过去的 一年里从忙碌的生活中抽出时间练习）”可知，器官接受者花了 1年来准备演出。故选A。【31题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文 uSince they had no music experiencev 以及后文 From learning the guitar, to mastering the maracas and taking on the drums, they took time out of their busy lives to practice over the past year.（从学习吉他，到掌握沙球，再到打鼓，他们在过去的一年里从忙碌的生活中抽出时间练习）”可知, 由于他们没有音乐经验，所以他们只好从头开始练习。即画线词意思为“从头开始练习”。故选B。【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后段 u Organ donation is not only the best way to honor a loved one, but also a remarkable way to save the lives of others. China faces a serious shortage of organs, with about 300,000 people waiting for organ transplant surgeries each year. But the good news is, more and more people have been signing up to be organ donors, showing the spirit of selflessness that Philip and so many others have shown.（器官捐赠不仅是纪念所爱之人的最好方式，也是拯救他人生命的非凡方式。中国正面临器官严重短缺的问题，每年约有30万人等待器官移植 手术。但好消息是，越来越多的人报名成为器官捐赠者，展现了菲利普和其他许多人所表现出的无私精神）” 可知，作者高度评价器官捐赠。故选C。Killer whales（虎鲸）,also known as orcas, are known fbr their severe attacks（攻击）on sea animals but they have never posed a threat to humans. However, since late July, the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal.The strange behavior first surfaced on July 29, 2020, when a 46-fbot boat was repeatedly attacked fbr almost an hour by nine orcas, causing the boat to rotate （旋转）180 degrees and having its engine switched off. Since then, over 30 more similar incidents have been reported. On September 23, 2020, Spain's government banned boats of less than 50 feet in length from sailing in the 60-mile stretch of the Atlantic coastline between Ferrol and the Estaca de Bares Cape, where the attacks have been occurring.Researchers across the world are trying to explain the orcas' behavior. Some believe it could be a result of the overfishing of the bluefin tuna-the orcas' primary food source-which has left the area's killer whales starving and unable to feed their babies. "I saw them look at boats carrying fish. I think they know humans are somehow related to food shortages/9 says Ken Balcomb, senior scientist at the Center fbr Whale Research in Washington, USA. The environmentalists believe the sudden increase in boat traffic after months of absence due to restrictions on human activity last spring, could also be contributing to the agitation.However, Alfredo Lopez, a biology professor in Galicia, Spain, thinks the attacks are defensive measures the orcas took to protect themselves against boat injuries. The researcher came to this conclusion after looking at the videos of a few incidents and noticing that two of the young killer whales involved had serious injuries. Hopefully, the experts will be able to find a way to restore the harmony between the animals and the humans soon.33. What do we know about orcas in paragraph 1?A. They are friendly to humans.B. They have changed their behavior.C. They are famous fbr hunting skills.D. They have met tough living conditions.34. Who hold（s） the idea that fishing activities caused the incidents?A. Ken Balcomb.B. The environmentalists.C. Alfredo Lopez.D. Spain's government.35. What do the underlined words “the agitation in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The attacks.B. Food shortages.C. The overfishing.D. Human activity.A. A disagreement between scientists.B. Possible reasons why killer whales are attacking boats.C. The results of the change of the behaviors of killer whales.D. Spanish government's effort of protecting the fishing boats.【答案】33.B34. A 35. A 36. B【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了西班牙和葡萄牙近海区多艘小型渔船遭杀人鲸袭击。33题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段 u Killer whales（虎鲸）,also known as orcas, are known fbr their severe attacks（攻击）on sea animals but they have never posed a threat to humans. However, since late July, the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal.（杀人鲸， 又称虎鲸，以其对海洋 动物的猛烈攻击而闻名，但它们从未对人类构成威胁。然而，自7月下旬以来，这些通常群居的动物一直 在西班牙和葡萄牙海岸附近故意攻击帆船）”可知，虎鲸从前从未伤害过人类。但是最近却开始袭击西班牙 和葡萄牙海岸附近的渔船。由此可推断，虎鲸的行为有所改变。故选B。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话以及Ken Balcomb所说的话“Some believe it could be a result of the overfishing of the bluefin tunathe orcas' primary food sourcewhich has left the area's killer whales starving and unable to feed their babies. saw them look at boats carrying fish. I think they know humans are somehow related to food shortages/9 says Ken Balcomb, senior scientist at the Center for Whale Research in Washington, USA.（一些人认为这可能是由于过度捕捞虎鲸的主要食物来源蓝鳍金枪鱼，导致该地区的虎鲸挨饿，无法喂 养它们的宝宝。美国华盛顿鲸鱼研究中心的高级科学家肯巴尔科姆说：“我看到他们看着载鱼的船。我 想他们知道人类与食物短缺有某种关系。“）”可知，Ken Balcomb认为捕鱼活动导致了这些事件。故选A。【35题详解】指代猜测题。根据第三段可知，该段主要分析了虎鲸袭击人类渔船的行为的原因。举例说明了有的研究人 员认为是人类的过度捕鱼可能导致了虎鲸食物不足，引发了鲸鱼袭击渔船。根据划线单词所在句子的前半 部分 “The environmentalists believe the sudden increase in boat traffic after months of absence due to restrictions on human activity last spring（环保主义者认为，由于去年春天人类活动受到限制，船上交通在几个月后突然 增加）”可知，环保主义者认为去年春天人类活动受到限制，船上交通在几个月后突然增加是导致虎鲸袭击 渔船行为的又一个原因。所以换线单词指“那些袭击事件”。故选A。【36题详解】主旨大意题。 根据第段“However, since late July, the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal/"（然而，自7月下旬以来，这种通常群居的动物在西班牙和葡 萄牙海岸故意袭击帆船。）文章主要介绍虎鲸袭击渔船的异常行为以及分析了各种有可能引发虎鲸异常行为 的原因。故选B。DFor most of my life, I didn9t like being seen. I went bright red when it was my turn to speak in a group. I hated the teacher asking me something. I even didn't like my family all looking at me! I often tried to hide away and avoid being seen by others! So, it's not strange that I feared speaking in front of others.Luckily, I've learned to overcome my problem. Now I love helping others who have the same problem that I once had but want to speak up because they have valuable things to share. I particularly love helping entrepreneurs （企业家）to become more confident. When you help a leader, the impact is so much greater.Over the years I've discovered that there are three main problems that people have when it comes to speaking in public. The first is a lack of selfbelief. They doubt themselves and question whether what they have to say is valuable. The second is a fear of being seen as arrogant （傲'慢的）.The third is a fear of rejection or a fear of not being liked.All of these problems are related to mindset, specifically, a fear-based mindset, which is common. These fears stop people from stepping up as the leader and influencer they were bom to be.If you want to become a more effective influencer, it is so important to work on any fears you have of judgment or rejection. They will be a ball and chain that will hold you back from success. We need to take action despite feeling fear. We can't wait for the fear to go away as it won't go away itself. We have to act while we still feel it. And to overcome fears, we should practice. Confidence is attached to progress, and we only progress if we practice. If you don't feel you're progressing, you'll start to lose your confidence and stay stuck in fear.37. What does the author like doing now?A. Giving speeches in front of people.B. Sharing experiences with her followers.C. Making friends with famous entrepreneurs.D. Helping others gain confidence in speaking in public.38. What can we learn about the problems that prevent people from talking publicly according to the author?A. They are very difficult to overcome.B. They lead to a very uncommon mindset.C. They exist mainly because of people's fears.D. They are no problem for leaders or influencers.39. What does the author suggest people do?A. Wait fbr the fear to disappear.B. Avoid failure to become more confident.C. Refuse judgment or rejection from others.D. Practice hard to make progress in spite of fears.40. What can be the best title fbr the text?A. Finding the Courage Inside YouBecoming a more Influential PersonB. Overcoming the Fear of Public SpeakingExpressing Your Ideas more Effectively【答案】37.D38. C 39. D 40. C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者本来是一个内向的人，后来找到方法克服这个缺点，现在他 根据自己的经历去帮助他人，解释了害怕说话的原因，以及克服的方法。【37题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段 “So, it's not strange that I feared speaking in front of others .（所以，我害怕在别人面 前说话并不奇怪）”以及第二段 “Luckily, I've learned to overcome my problem. Now I love helping others who have the same problem that I once had but want to speak up because they have valuable things to share.

Confidence is attached to progress, and we only progress if we practice. If you don't feel you're progressing, you'll start to lose your confidence and stay stuck in fear.（我们需要采取行动，尽管感到恐惧。我们不能等待恐惧消失，因为它不 会自己消失。我们必须趁我们还能感觉到的时候采取行动。为了克服恐惧，我们应该练习。信心与进步紧 密相连，只有实践才能进步。如果你觉得自己没有进步，你就会开始失去信心，陷入恐惧之中）”可知，作者建议人们，尽管有恐惧，但努力练习才能取得进步。故选D项。【40题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段 “So, it's not strange that I feared speaking in front of others .（所以，我害怕在别人面 前说话并不奇怪）”以及第二段 “Luckily, I've learned to overcome my problem.

Thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency! It is not very difficult. 4 Today, we will share some mental exercises with you.A good first step is to think in individual words. Look around you. What do you see?42 As you continue with this, it becomes a habit. Things are going to flash into your head-computer, telephone, chair, desk, etc., whatever it is and wherever you are. 43 For example, if you couldn't think of the word "garage", you can say in your mind, "The place inside which I put my car" or "It's next to my house. I keep things there”.The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, when sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, "It's such a beautiful day" and "People are playing”. 44 You can also practise describing your daily activities. As beginning-level learners, you can describe the day using the simple present verb form, like “I put on my shirt" and "He drives the bus". You can also mentally make plans in the morning or list things you've done before going to bed. 45 So the skill level is a little higher.When you are practising it every day, over and over again, little by little, you are thinking in English.A. But it takes effort and practice.B. It is extremely easy to understand.C. This would require other verb tenses.D. At some points, you will need a dictionary.E. Try to name each object in your suiToundings.F. Then describe objects you don't know the words fbr.G. Once this becomes easy, you can move on to more difficult sentences.【答案】41.A42. E 43. F 44. G 45.

It is not very difficult.（用英语思考可以让 你更接近流利！这不是很难）"以及下文“Today, we will share some mental exercises with you.（今天，我们将与 大家分享一些心理练习）”可知，英语要熟练是有技巧可用的，所以空白处应该是对上文的转折，也就是说 流利的英语并不困难，但是也是需要努力和练习的。A项“但这需要努力和实践。”符合语境，能够承上 启下。故选A。【42题详解】根据上文 “ A good first st叩 is to think in individual words. Look around you. What do you see?（好的第一步是用 单独的语言思考。看看你周围。你看到了什么？）"以及下文"Things are going to flash into your head-computer, telephone, chair, desk, etc., whatever it is and wherever you are.（无论你身在何处，你的电脑、 电话、椅子、办公桌等都会闪现出各种东西）”可知，本段所给建议就是试着给周围的每个物体都取名字。 E项“试着为你周围的每个物体命名。”适合作本段的主旨大意句。文中的“computer, telephone, chair, desk” 是E项中的ueach object in your surroundingv的具体例子。故选Eo【43题详解】根据 "For example, if you couldn't think of the word "garage”, you can say in your mind, "The place inside which I put my car” or "It's next to my house. I keep things there”（例如，如果你想不出“车库”这个词，你可以在脑 海中说，“我把车放在里面的地方”或“它就在我的房子旁边。我把东西放在那里“）"可知，下文举例表 明，我们可以尝试用其它的方式来描述你很难表达出来的词。F项“然后描述你不知道单词。”符合语境。 故选Fo【44题详解】根据 "The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. （ F一个练习是用简单的句子思考）''以及下文“You can also practise describing your daily activities.（你也可以练习描述你的日常活动）”可知，本段给的建议是我们需 要用简单的句子先开始练习，空处给出这样做的原因，就是只有从简单的开始，
