Because of the dramatic change I went through, I was even accepted into MIT. I changed my luck for good. 第二部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分 35 分) 第一节单项填空(共 15 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 15 分) 请认真阅读下面各题,从题中所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上 将该项涂黑。 16.Lady Gaga was reported _____ an Oscar Award in 2019 for the Best Original Song Shallow in the film A Star Is Born.

We spend more than half our conscious hours at work, preparing for work, traveling to and from work. What we do there largely determines our standard of living and our status to a considerable extent. It is sometimes said that because leisure has become more important, the injustices of work can be pushed into a corner, and that because most work is pretty intolerable, the people who do it should compensate for its boredom, frustrations and humiliations by concentrating their hopes on the other parts of their lives. For the foreseeable future, however, the material and psychological rewards which work can provide will continue to play a vital part in determining the satisfaction that life can offer. Yet only a small minority can control the pace at which they work or the conditions where their work is done; only for a small minority does work offer scope for creativity, imagination or initiative. Inequality at work is still one of the most glaring (明显的) forms of inequality in our society. We cannot hope to solve the more obvious problems of industrial life, many of which arise from the frustrations created by inequality at work, unless we handle it determinedly. The most glaring inequality is that between managers and the rest. For most managers, work is an opportunity and a challenge. Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to develop their abilities. They are constantly learning. They are able to exercise responsibility. They have a considerable degree of control over their own and others’ working lives. Most important of all, they have opportunities to initiate. By contrast, for most manual workers, work is a boring, dull, even painful experience. They spend all their working lives in intolerable conditions. The majority have little control over their work. It provides them with no opportunity for personal development. Many jobs are so routine that workers feel themselves to be mere cogs (齿轮) in the bureaucratic machine. As a direct consequence of their work experience, many workers feel alienated (疏远) from their work and their firm. 53. In the writer’s opinion, people judge others mainly by ________. A. the type of work they do B. the place where they work C. the time they spend at work D. the amount of money they earn 54. According to the writer, to solve problems in an industrial society, we ________. A. should create more working opportunities for the poor B. have to get rid of the unequal aspects in work C. had better cancel all managing positions in a company D should encourage the manual workers to promote efficiency 55. What advantage does the writer say managers have over workers? . A. They won’t be out of work. B. They get time off to learn constantly. C. They can work at what interests them. D. They have complete control over themselves. 【答案】53. A 54. B 55. C 【解析】 本文是议论文。工作的人们生活的中心和主导,工作也给人们带来很多的问题。文章论述了 这些问题。 【53 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的第二句话 What we do there largely determines our standard of living and our status to a considerable extent.(我们在那里的所作所为在很大程度上 决定了我们的生活水平和地位)可推知,别人会根据我们的工作来评判我们。故选 A。 【54 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的 We cannot hope to solve the more obvious problems of industrial life, many of which arise from the frustrations created by inequality at work, unless we handle it determinedly.(我们不能指望解决工业生活中更明显的问题, 其中许多问题是由工作中的不平等造成的挫折引起的,除非我们坚决地处理它)可知,我们 的工作存在很多不公平的现象,除非我们坚决抵制。这里 inequality 与 unequal 同义替换, handle it determinedly 与 get rid of 同义替换。故选 B。 【55 题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段 Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to develop theirabilities.(他们的工作激发了他们的兴趣,使他们得以发展自己的能力)可知,他们 可以从事自己感兴趣的工作。A 选项无中生有,B 选项没有说 they will get time off, D 选 项原文是 to a large extent 而非 complete control.故选 C。 C It started during a yoga class. She felt a strange pull on her neck, a feeling completely foreign to her. Her friend suggested she rush to the emergency room. It turned out that she was having a heart attack. She didn’t share similar symptoms with someone who was likely to have a heart attack. She exercised, watched her plate and did not smoke. But on reviewing her medical history, I found that her cholesterol (胆固醇) level was sky-high. She had been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering statin (他汀) medication, but she never picked up the prescription because of the scary things she had read about statins on the Internet. She was the victim of fake medical news. While misinformation has been the object of great attention in politics, medical misinformation might lead to an increase in deaths. As is true with fake news in general, medical lies tend to spread further than truths on the Internet—and they have very real bad consequences. False medical information can also lead to patients experiencing greater side effects through the “nocebo effect (反安慰剂效应) ”. Sometimes patients benefit from an intervention (干预) simply because they believe they will—that’s the placebo effect (安慰剂效应) . The nocebo effect is the opposite. Patients can experience harmful effects because they anticipate them. This is very true of statins. In blinded trials, patients who get statins are no more likely to report feeling muscle aches than patients who get a placebo. Yet, in clinical practice, according to one study, almost a fifth of patients taking statins report side effects, leading many to discontinue the drugs. What else is on the fake news hit list? As always, vaccines (疫苗) . False concerns that the vaccine may cause side effects have greatly reduced coverage rates. Cancer is another big target for pushers of medical misinformation—many of whom refuse alternative therapies. “Though most people think cancer tumors are bad, they’re actually the way your body attempts to contain the harmful cells,” one fake news story reads. It warns that prescription medications lead to the uncontrolled cell mutations (变异) . Silicon Valley needs to face this problem. I am not a free-speech lawyer, but when human health is at risk, perhaps search engines, social media platforms and websites should be held responsible for promoting or hosting fake information. Meanwhile, journalists should do a better job of spreading accurate information. 56. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________. A. the woman paid little attention to her daily diets B. the unhealthy lifestyle might lead to the woman’s heart attack C. the symptom of the heart attack was familiar to the woman D. the woman didn’t take the prescription due to fake medical news 57. According to the passage, the placebo effect functions because patients ________. A. neglect necessary treatment B. discontinue the harmful drugs C. believe the benefits of an intervention D. suffer more side effects 58. What does the author mean by claiming that “he is not a free-speech lawyer” in the last paragraph? A. He is a lawyer very easy to speak to. B. He is good at speaking because of his job. C. He is available to give a speech on the law. D. He is very cautious when speaking something 59. The main purpose of the passage is to ________. A. remind us to take medication as prescribed B. warn us against fake medical news on the Internet C. encourage journalists to report more positive news events D. teach us how to distinguish fake medical news on the Internet 【答案】56. D 57. C 58. D 59. B 【解析】 本文是议论文。文章通过举例来论证了网络谣言,尤其是关于药物的网络谣言有巨大的杀伤 力。 【56 题详解】 细节理解题。首先我们找到第二段,A 选项说她不注意她的日常饮食,根据第二段第二行中 She exercised, watched her plate and did no smoke.可知该选项错误。BC 选项无中生有。D 选项 在文中第二段倒数第一行和第二行。she never picked up the prescription because of the scary things she had read about stains on the Internet.(她从来没有拿过这个处方, 因为她在网上看到关于他汀的可怕事情)可知,由于虚假的医疗信息,这名女子没有服用那 个处方药。故选 D。 【57 题详解】 细节理解题。首先找到定位词“placebo effect”然后定位到文中第四段 Sometimes patients benefit from an intervention simply because they believe they will— that’s the placebo effect.(有时患者从干预中获益仅仅是因为他们相信他们会——这就是安慰剂效应) 由此可知,安慰剂效应的作用是因为患者相信干预的好处。故选 C。 【58 题详解】 词义猜测题。定位到最后一段中的 I am not a free-speech lawyer, but when human health is at risk,perhaps search engines, social media platforms and websites should be held responsible for promoting or hosting fake information.(我不是一个言论自由的律师, 但当人类健康受到威胁时,或许搜索引擎、社交媒体平台和网站应该为推广或提供虚假信息 负责),句中的 perhaps 可知,他不赞成随口造谣、传谣的,同时他说话很谨慎。故选 D。 【59 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的 As is true with fake news in general, medical lies tend to spread further than truths on the Internet—and they have very real bad consequences. (就像假新闻一样,医络上传播得比真相还远,而且后果非常严重)及文章中的例子可知, 全文的主要目的是通过举例来论证了网络谣言,尤其是关于药物的网络谣言有巨大的杀伤力, 来教我们如何辨别网上的假医疗新闻。A 选项不是主题,只是第二段中提到的分支。C 选项只 有最后一段提到。D 选项错误,并没有教我们区分假消息。故选 B。 D A story posted by The New York Post Monday tells the tale of Katrina Holte, a Hillsboro woman who quit her job to cosplay a 1950s housewife. Let me start by expressing admiration to Holte for using her 2019 freedoms to follow her 1950s dreams. Everyone should be so lucky as to get to decide what they wear and how they spend their time. That’s the future our foremothers fought for. But as much fun as I am sure she is having living a vintage (复古的) life, which literally includes watching shows like “I Love Lucy” and listening to vinyl recordings (刻录碟片) , I think it’s important to remember that being a 1950s housewife was actually totally awful, and something our grandmothers and mothers fought against. For example, once I called my grandma and asked her for her recipe for Cloud Biscuits, these delicious biscuits she used to make that we would cover with butter and homemade raspberry jam on Thanksgiving. “Why would you want that?” she said. “Go to the store. Go to the freezer section. Buy some pre-made biscuits and put them in the oven.” She straight-up refused to give me the recipe, because it was hard and took a long time to make. In her mind, it was a waste of time. Getting off the phone, it occurred to me that spending every day of your life serving a husband and five children wasn’t fun at all. And then there are the grandchildren who eventually come along demanding Cloud Biscuits, a whole new expanded set of people to feed. She was basically a slave to those hungry mouths, cooking scratch meals three times a day When she wasn’t trapped in the kitchen, she had to keep the house clean, make sure she looked good enough to be socially acceptable, and make sure her kids and husband looked good enough to be socially acceptable. And she had no days off. I know my grandma loves her kids and her grandkids, her husband and the life she led, but man, it must have been a lot of thankless, mindless labor. No wonder everyone went all-in on processed foods when they came around. Imagine the nice break something like a microwave dinner would give a woman working, unpaid, for her family every single day? I also had another grandma. She was a scholar who helped found the Center for the Study of Women in Society at University of Oregon. She was a pioneering second-wave feminist who wrote books, gave lectures and traveled the world. But, she did all of that after divorcing my grandpa, when most of her kids were out of the house. Back then, in the 1950s and the 1960s, there was no illusion about women “having it all”. How could that even possibly happen? If you were taking care of a family, waiting on your husband, you had no time to follow your dreams, unless you made that your dream A lot of women took that approach. We call it Stockholm Syndrome now. And of course, these women I am talking about are upper-middle-class white women. Romanticizing the 1950s is especially disgusting when you think about how women of color and poor women were treated back then, and the lack of education and choices available to them. Because the women in this country demanded something approaching equality, Holte has the chance to live out her fantasy. Not every woman in America is so lucky. We still don’t have pay equality and in many states, we still don’t have autonomy over our own bodies. Poor women and women of color still lack the opportunities of their wealthy and white peers. And while it’s getting better, women are still expected to be responsible for the emotional labor of running a household and raising the children. But at least we can get jobs. At least we don’t have to sew our own clothes, wear a full face of makeup every day and spend hours making Cloud Biscuits some ungrateful kid will wolf down, barely remembering to say thank you. 60. According to the author, what is the future our foremothers fought for? A. Watching shows like “I Love Lucy” and listening to vinyl recordings. B. Having the freedom to make choices in their daily life. C. Making Cloud Biscuits for their kids and husbands. D. Making sure their kids and husbands socially acceptable. 61. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 13 refer to? A. Writing books, giving lectures and traveling the world. B. Divorcing husband when kids were out of house. C. Taking care of a family and waiting on husband. D. Women’s illusion about “having it all”. 62. What does the “Stockholm Syndrome” in paragraph 14 really mean in the passage? A. Women have been used to the unfair treatment at home B. Women nowadays like the way of life in the 1950s. C. Victims end up sympathizing with the abusers. D. Women have the chance to live out their dreams. 63. The author thinks of the life of a 1950s housewife as ________. A. fantastic B. admirable C. awful D. unforgettable 64. What can we learn from the passage? A. It was a waste of time to give grandchildren the recipe. B. All women are not lucky to follow their own dreams in America now. C. Housewives received recognition for their efforts from family members. D. The upper-middle-class white women did a better job in running the household. 65. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To show great appreciation to her grandmas. B. To call on housewives to claim the pay for the housework they undertake. C. To draw readers’ attention to the situations women face, especially those poor and of color. D. To arouse women’s awareness of equal pay at work. 【答案】60. B 61. C 62. A 63. C 64. B 65. C 【解析】 本文是记叙文。作者认为在日常生活中拥有选择的自由是我们的祖先为之奋斗的未来,同时 想让读者注意到女性所面临的处境,尤其是那些贫穷的有色人种。 【60 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的 Everyone should be so lucky as to get to decide what they wear and how they spend their time. That’s the future our foremothers fought for.(每个 人都应该很幸运,能够决定自己穿什么,如何度过时间。这就是我们的祖先为之奋斗的未来) 由此可知,作者认为在日常生活中拥有选择的自由是我们的祖先为之奋斗的未来。A 选项只是 Katrina Holte 的个人选择,错误。CD 选项是 1950 的女性的日常生活,也不符合题意。故选 B。 【61 题详解】 词义猜测题。找到划线词所在句 If you were taking care of a family, waiting on your husband, you had no time to follow your dreams, unless you made that your dream.(如果你 要照顾一个家庭,服侍你的丈夫,你就没有时间去追求你的梦想,除非你把它当成你的梦想) 可知,that 指代的其实是前面的内容,也就是 taking care of a family, waiting on your husband。故选 C。 【62 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句及前面的 A lot of women took that approach. We call it Stockholm Syndrome now. ( 很 多 女 性 采 取 了 这 种 方 式 。 我 们 现 在 称 之 为 Stockholm Syndrome )可知,我们现在把 1950s 很多女性接受了这个方式生活下去的这个现象称作 Stockholm Syndrome。根据上文可知,1950s 很多女性的生活方式则是——照顾家庭、服侍丈 夫、没有时间去追求自己的梦想,这对女性来讲是不公平的。因此 A 选项正确,be used to 和 take that approach 形成替换。B 选项错误,说的是 1950s 而不是现代。C 选项没有具体的 时代背景,错误。D 选项不是 1950s 的现象,错误。故选 A。 【63 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的 I think it’s important to remember that being a 1950s housewife was actually totally awful, and something our grandmothers and mothers foughtagainst.(我认为重要的是要记住,作为一个 50 年代的家庭主妇实际上是非常糟糕的, 这是我们的祖母和母亲所反对的)可知,作者认为 20 世纪 50 年代家庭主妇的生活很糟糕。 故选 C。 【64 题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第四段中的 Holte has the chance to live out her fantasy. Not every woman in America is so lucky.(霍尔特有机会实现她的梦想。不是每个美国女人都这么幸 运)可推知,在美国,并不是所有的女性都有机会追逐自己的梦想。故选 B。 【65 题详解】 推理判断题。作者写文章的目的必然与其主旨有关。目的在文章中最集中指出问题的一段, 也就是倒数第三段 We still don’t have pay equality and in many states, we still don’t have autonomy over our own bodies. Poor women and women of color still lack the opportunities of their wealthy and white peers.(我们仍然没有薪酬平等,在许多 州,我们仍然没有对自己身体的自主权。贫困妇女和有色人种妇女仍然缺乏与富裕和白人妇 女同等的机会)。由此可知,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是让读者注意到女性所面临的情况, 尤其是那些贫穷和有色人种的情况。A 选项很容易排除,B 选项说呼吁家庭主妇为他们承担的 家庭劳作要求报酬也与主旨无关。D 选项涵盖的太小了,不仅仅是 equal pay。故选 C。 第 II 卷(非选择题,共 40 分) 第四部分:词汇检测(共 5 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 5 为) 请认真阅读下列各个小题,并根据上下文语境和所给首字母的提示,写出下列各句空格中的 单词,注意保持语义和形式的一致。请将答案的完整形式写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。 66. — Why have you been so restless these days? — Air tickets are in shortage.

In the past, most of them used subsidies (现金补助) to keep food prices low for all their citizens. But these policies have become ineffective: the cost of maintaining Egypt’s food subsidies, for instance, nearly doubled between 2009 and 2013. And much of the money goes to the wrong people. In Egypt and the Philippines less than 20% of spending on food subsidies goes to poor households. In the Middle East and North Africa only 35% of subsidies reach 40% of the poorest, the IMF notes. Motivated by a desire to control growing budget deficits (赤字) , many countries are replacing broad subsidies with policies aimed more directly at the needy. But what form should the targeted aid take? Earlier this month Iran introduced free handouts of food to replace its subsidy method. Other countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, have chosen instead to provide extra cash benefits to the poor. So far, food vouchers (代金券) have been the least popular option. Proposals to introduce food vouchers in such countries as Malaysia have been rejected on the basis that they were too American and un-Asian. However, the researchers at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) thought that might have been a mistake and analyzed the results of an experiment conducted by the World Food Programme in Ecuador, a South American country, in 2011, which compared handouts of food, cash and vouchers in the experiment. The study found that direct handouts— Iran’s new policy—were the least effective option. They cost three times as much as vouchers to promote calorie intake by 15%, and were four times as costly as a way of increasing dietary diversity and quality. Distribution costs were high, and wastage was also a problem. Only 63% of the food given away was actually eaten, while 83% of the cash was spent on food and 99% of the vouchers were exchanged as intended. Food handouts have also been the costliest option in similar projects in some African countries, according to John Hoddinott at IFPRI. In Ecuador there was little difference in cost between handing out cash and food vouchers, the other two options. But food vouchers were better at encouraging people to buy healthier foods because of restrictions on what items could be exchanged for them. It was 25% cheaper to promote the quality of household nutrition using food vouchers than it was by handing out cash. A switch from universal subsidies to vouchers could be the most efficient way of promoting health as well as relieving poverty. This is very necessary in many developing countries, according to Lynn Brown, a consultant for the World Bank.

This is asked by college students at the start of every term, and it’s become a hot topic of discussion following a controversial online post. The post was about a college student who demanded 4,500 yuan for monthly living expenses from her mom, reported China Daily In the post, this new college student explained that her school is in a top-tier city and that her expenses included skin-care products and new clothes. Her mother did not agree and “only” gave her 2,000 yuan. The post started a heated debate. Some people came to her defense. Girls invest a lot in skin-care products and new clothes while boys invest much in shoes, latest electronic devices and equipment for games. However, someone thinks 4,500 yuan is too much. According to a 2019 report, students in 15 cities spent more than 1,500 yuan a month on average. Beijing topped the list at 2,400 yuan, and Shanghai followed close behind at 2,300 yuan. In some cities, a parent may only earn a monthly salary of 4,000 or 5,000 yuan. Nevertheless, some students insist on buying Dyson vacuum cleaners (吸尘器) for their dormitories instead of common brooms. Others demand Apple laptops to study at Starbucks, instead of going to the library. 【写作内容】 1.用约 30 个词概括上文内容; 2.用约 120 个词谈谈你对这一现象的看法,包括如下要点: (1)分析哪些原因造成了大学生生活开销的上涨(不少于两点); (2)你觉得文中该大学生的要求是否合理?请阐述你的理由或建议(不少于两点)。 【写作要求】 不能直接引用原文句子。 【答案】A college student demanded for higher living expenses that are far beyond the average, which was turned down by her mother. Opinions on this issue vary from person to person. The reasons behind higher living expenses deserve thorough reflection. First of all, it goes without saying that soaring prices for commodities along with constant increasing investment in self-image and self-improvement, to some extent, give rise to such demands. In addition to basic needs, a large sum of money is wasted on unnecessary or luxurious things, which partly reflects college students’ irrational attitudes towards consumption. From my perspective, by no means can asking for excessive living expenses be taken for granted. Despite the rising price, college students, especially those from poor areas, are expected to reduce parents’ financial burden by doing part-time jobs and making budgets instead of blind consumption. Meanwhile, compared with appearance, more investment is encouraged to enhance inner quality. (150 words) 【解析】 【分析】 这篇作文再次选择了高考中热门的正反观点对比,大学生到底需不需要这么高的生活费? 【详解】作为准大学生,高三的孩子们应该是有话可写的,尤其是生活在苏州这种富庶的地 方,价比天高,对于外面花花世界的诱惑,孩子们的观点应该会很有意思。 作为社会现象类文章,首先我们需要抓准首段的社会现象。 第一段:网络上流传着一个有争论的帖子,一个女孩因为在一线城市上大学,找妈妈要 4500 元每个月的生活费,理由是要护肤,买衣服,买电子产品。 第二段:女孩的妈妈义正言辞地拒绝了她的请求。 第三段和第四段:网友有人支持,有人反对。支持的原因是确实开销大,反对的原因是大学 生对于物质的追求其实已经超出了父母的承受能力。 值得注意的是,反对和支持的理由由于字数的限制,可以不用写出来。第一段的结构为事件 和反响即可。 于是,我们第一段的内容就出炉了。 A freshman, maintaining that the expense in first-tier city was much higher, demanded 4,500 yuan per month from her mom,who rejected the daughter’s request resolutely. Interestingly, netizens are divided on this incident. (32 words) 第二段分析生活费上涨原因,可以向内看,和向外看。 向内看:如今,大学生对于物质的需求不比往届学长学姐,学爷学奶,往届的娃娃们生活清 贫,艰苦朴素,不知星巴克,劳力士为何物?而如今大学生左口一个星巴克,右口一个耐克 阿迪。不穿名牌都不好意思去上课。 向外看:我们的物质生活水平确实提高了很多,对美好生活的向往心态也是与日俱增。而且, 物价水平也在飙升,猪肉都 40 元一斤了,食堂的饭菜自然要涨价。车厘子都 80 元一斤了, 水果再贵也得吃。考虑到大学生的吃喝拉撒费用都在上升,生活费自然也得跟上去。 所以我们的第二段内容就有了。 Behind the soar of college students’ living expense lie two major drivers, the first of which goes to the rocketing commodity price. Gone are the days when students could enjoy a square meal at four to five yuan in the school canteen. Instead, it is not uncommon that asimple dish with pork or beef would cost them an arm and a leg, which is almost six times what it used to be. Another factor at play is that vanity and materialism prevail among university students, who might blindly chase after famous brands like iPhone or Starbucks. Inevitably, these luxury goods will add to their already too high expense. (108 words) 作为一个正气浩然的高中生,肯定要反对这种恬不知耻,依赖心,攀比心,物质心超强的无 耻做法。理由是爸爸妈妈赚钱不易,而且自己已经成年,可以通过做一些力所能及的兼职(当 然在不影响自己学业的情况下)来增加自己的收入。同时,也要抵制物质主义和攀比心来腐 蚀自己,注重内在修养,多多看书,运动,广泛交友,正能量。衣服和使用物品只要干净整 洁就好了。 I definitely turn my nose up at these college students’ unjustifiable and selfish request. Firstly, in no way should our parents’ hard-earned money be squandered on luxury goods, only to feed our vanity or materialism. Secondly, being an independent and self-reliant adult, Ican take up some odd jobs to alleviate my parents’ financial burden. Lastly, skincare and cosmetic are unnecessary since a neat and tidy appearance will do for an economically dependent student. (75 words)
