poetry,has been awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature.Born inNew Yorkin 1943,Gluck published her first volume of poetry,“Firstborn”,in 1968,quickly gaining her reputation as a poet.In the decades since,she has become one of the countrys most celebrated literary figures.Her work uses the power of myth to deal with some of our darkest human concerns.Her straightforward language always gets at the heart of deep-seated anxieties:loneliness,rejection,death.Stephanie Burt,an English professor atHarvardUniversity,said,“Shes someone whos been able to make emotion states vivid on the page.Few poets have tried as hard as she has not to repeat herself.And her strongest books are really different from one another”.“She offers poetry lovers a lot of inspiration,but shes also on a lot of bookshelves,said Chiasson,a poet,who added she is a generous reader of her fellow writerswork.At Yale,where Gluck is a professor of English,she served for years as judge of the Yale Series of Younger Poets Prize and worked closely with poets she chose for the prize and those she did not,helping them shape their work.“In that very practical way shes had an enormous influence on a great many figures,”said Langdon Hammer,a professor of English at Yale.“Shes someone who has been a guiding spirit for generations of students,writers,and readers.”Gluck described teaching and writing as symbiotic.“I teach not out of selflessness or generosity:I do it because it feeds me,”she said.“It feeds them,too,so its a happy relationship.Im sure not all my students feel that way,but some do.I never feel that it takes me from my work:I think it gives me my work.”4.Which of the following topics might Gluck tend to explore in her work?A.Victory.B.Divorce.C.Romance.D.Achievement.5.What quality

Hardworking Writer C Many Americans experience surprise(or disappointment)when they wake up on Christmas Day.They might be surprised or disappointed by a family members actions.They might be happy or unhappy about a Christmas gift.Imagine a child expects to get an Xbox or PlayStation for Christmas.On Christmas morning,they quickly open their gift.Inside is an English grammar book.They might feel disappointed.The Everyday Grammar team would prefer the new English grammar book.But if you are like most young people,you would probably rather have a new video game.Today,we are going to explore those feelings-feelings of surprise and disappointment.In other words,we are going to explore how speakers show that reality was better or worse than their expectations.Many languages use words to express expectation.Speakers also use words to express how events are not happening as expected.This idea is known as“counter expectation”.Do not worry about the term.Just remember that it means that speakers use words to show that reality is countering their expectations.English has many words that serve this purpose.Three of the most common are the words“even”,“still”and“actually”.You will often hear them in informal,everyday speech.Speakers use these words to show disappointment.The pitch of their voice tells you what they mean.Lets study examples of each word.Speakers often use the word even”to show disappointment or surprise.Imagine a young child that expects a phone call from a family member-perhaps an uncle or grandparent.The phone call never comes.The child might say the following:“Whats wrong with him?He didnt even call me on Christmas day.”Americans sometimes use“still”for showing how reality does not quite meet their expectations:“Youre still here?Its over!Go home.Go!”Another common word that shows surprise or disappointment is“actually”:“I cant believe it!Uncle Bob actually stole her Christmas gift.”8.What might most young Americans prefer as a Christmas gift according to paragraph 1?A.A newly made video game.B.An English grammar book.C.A new designed school bag.D.A unique jacket from their parents.9.What does the underlined phrase“counter expectation”in paragraph 3 mean?A.Expression of disappointment.B.Something expected to happen.C.The same with ones expectation.D.A result against what is expected.10.What do the three words“even”,“still”and“actually”have in common?A.They are easy to understand.B.They express disappointment.C.They show delighted feelings.D.They are used most at Christmas.11.Whats the last paragraph mainly about?A.Expectations from loved ones.B.Different uses of the three words.C.Examples of the use of the three words.D.Emotions of disappointment and surprise.D Thefirst thing we notice about new people are their faces.The next time we see these people,we remember them because we remember their faces.This seems like a simple process.However,scientists found that it is not such a simple process.The section of the brain that is responsible for face recognition seems to work differently for different people.Some people have great difficulty remembering and recognizing faces,while others almost never forget a face.Normal babies are born with a natural ability to recognize faces.In fact,their face recognition abilities are much better than their parents.Babies are most highly skilled at face recognition at six months.But by nine months,they lose this skill.By nine months,a babys face-recognition skills are about the same as an adults.Unfortunately,some people are not born with this ability to recognize faces.The part of the brain that is responsible for face recognition doesnt work for them.This condition is called face blindness.People with very severe face blindness cannot even recognize their own faces.In fact,people with this condition can sometimes be frightened when they look in the mirror.They dont recognize their own face,so for a second they are startled when they see this unfamiliar face.Face blindness is not always severe.Scientists believe up to 10 percent of the population may be affected by face blindness to some degree,yet many people with mild face blindness might not even know they have it.They have no reason to know they are different from anyone else until someone points it out.This is similar to people with color1 blindness.Colorblind people cant see the difference between certain color1 s such as red and green,until someone tells them that green and red are two different color1 s.There is no cure for face blindness.So for the time being,people with face blindness need to find simple techniques to compensate for their problem.They can try to recognize people by their hairstyle,their voice,or their glasses.Hopefully,in the future as scientists learn more about this condition,they may find a cure.12.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The way to improve ones face-recognition skills.B.The simple process of the brain to recognize others faces.C.The fact that some people have face-recognition problems.D.The importance of face recognition in human communication.13.When do children have the best face-recognition skills?A.At birth.B.Half a year old.C.Nine months old.D.In adolescence.14.What does the underlined word“startled”in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A.Depressed.B.Confused.C.Embarrassed.D.Surprised.15.What does the author think of the problem of face blindness?A.People need to take it seriously.B.Certain techniques can make up for it.C.It will be cured in the near future.D.It has the same effect with color1 blindness.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 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 七选五（每题 2 分，共 5 个，共 10 分）What Can We See in a Logo?We see hundreds of logos on signs,vehicles,websites,and even on the clothes we wear.All of these logos are designed to attract our attention._16_However,recently research supports the idea that remembering what a logo looks like is a very difficult task.Researchers gave 85 students a simple assignment to draw the Apple logo purely from memory.Surprisingly,only one student in the study could accurately draw the logo from memory._17_Researchers have developed a theory that they think might help to explain this blind spot in our memories.Logos are typically designed to be simple and easy to recognize with a quick glance.Yet the frequent exposure to these logos can actually make our brains overlook them.This process is known as“attentional saturation(注意力饱和).”_18_ Even though the brain is accustomed to ignoring unnecessary details,it is also programmed for recognition.When we see images such as logos over and over again,we become familiar with them.This constant exposure leads to something scientists refer to as gist(梗概)memory._19_This general sense of memory has its own benefits.In fact,familiarity with a popular logo can even make people feel more comfortable about purchasing or using certain products.Logos are everywhere we look today.A fancy design or a thoughtful color1 combination may be a good start for a logo concept,but there are other factors to consider._20_A clever design may be interesting,but most people will forget the detailsespecially if our brains have anything to say about it.A.This may be inspiring to logo designers.B.People will know the product behind the logo.C.So why is it so difficult for people to recall the details of images?D.They also help us remember a product or service connected to that image.E.It means that our brain remembers the basic idea without all of the details.F.Our brains actually signal us to ignore information we dont think we will need to remember.G.Logo designers need to know that people will only remember what they believe is worthwhile.第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 45 分）第一节（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 I first heard about several cases of coronavirus in
