During the last twenty years there has been increasing concern with the quality of the environment. Along with air and water pollutants, noise pollution has been considered as a serious pollutant. As noise levels have risen, the effects of noise have become more obvious.
Noise is described as “unwanted sound”. Causes of noise pollution include traffic, aircraft, rock bands, barking dogs, television, garbage trucks, and noise from neighbors, voices, alarms, and boats. Studies show that over forty percent of Americans are disturbed at home or lose sleep because of noise pollution.
Noise has bad effects on people and the environment. Noise causes hearing loss, interferes (干扰) with human activities at home and work, and is in various ways dangerous to people’s health and well-being.
When we think, talk, listen to music, or sleep, we need quiet. Even low levels of noise can be annoying or frustrating. Sudden increases in volume can make sounds annoying. The quieter the background is, the more penetrating a noise can be.
Noise can also make instructions or warning unclear, resulting in accidents. Louder noise bursts can cause more problems. Continued stress caused by living in noisy conditions can lead to high blood pressure, which is the major cause of some diseases.
Long exposure to noise levels above eighty-five decibels (分贝) can damage inner ear cells and lead to hearing loss. Noise can result in the uncontrolled fear response and can cause adrenaline (肾上腺素) to be pumped into the bloodstream, the heart rate to quicken, muscles to tense, breathing to go up, and the digestive system to slow down.
Local government has the responsibility to fight noise pollution. For example, it can regulate the speed of trains through their community. On the other hand, a responsible citizen will never make noise pollution wherever he is.
4. What does the underlined word “penetrating” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. High and exciting. B. Deep and shocking
C. Loud and unpleasant. D. Clear and comfortable.
5. Which of the following is related to noise pollution?
A. Fast digestive system. B. Low blood pressure.
C. Slow heart rate. D. Fast breathing.
6. In the last para graph, the author suggests that ________.
A. people who make noise pollution should be punished
B. the government should be responsible for fighting noise pollution
C. the government should offer its people better education on noise pollution
D. people and the government should work together to reduce noise pollution
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. Measurement of noise levels. B. Bad effects of noise pollution.
C. Hearing damage from environmental noise. D. Community reactions to noise.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述噪音污染带来的负面影响，并呼吁政府和人们各尽其责，共同努力，减少噪音污染。
4.词句猜测题。根据第四段“The quieter the background is, the more penetrating a noise can be.”(背景越安静，噪音就越penetrating。)可知，penetrating是形容词，描述背景安静的情况下，噪音的情况，根据常识，背景越安静，噪音就会显得越大声且不悦耳，所以penetrating的意思应该是“大声且不悦耳”，和选项C意思一致。故选C。
5.细节理解题。根据第六段“Noise can result in the uncontrolled fear response and can cause adrenaline (肾上腺素) to be pumped into the bloodstream, the heart rate to quicken, muscles to tense, breathing to go up, and the digestive system to slow down.”(噪音会导致不受控制的恐惧反应，并导致肾上腺素被泵入血液，心跳加快，肌肉紧张，呼吸加快，消化系统下降。)可知，噪音会导致呼吸加快。故选D。
6.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Local government has the responsibility to fight noise pollution. For example, it can regulate the speed of trains through their community. On the other hand, a responsible citizen will never make noise pollution wherever he is.”(地方政府有责任治理噪音污染。例如，它可以调节通过社区的列车速度。另一方面，一个负责任的公民无论在哪里都不会制造噪音污染。)可知，地方政府和每一个公民都应该为减少噪音做出努力。故选D。
7.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Along with air and water pollutants, noise pollution has been considered as a serious pollutant. As noise levels have risen, the effects of noise have become more obvious.”(噪声污染与空气和水污染物一起被认为是一种严重的污染物。随着噪声水平的提高，噪声的影响也变得更加明显。)可知，这篇文章主要讲述噪音污染带来的负面影响。故选B。

As William Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. “We have Dante, Shakespeare and Du Fu. These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged, ” remarked Harvard Professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu, Chinas Greatest Poet, a new BBC documentary.
Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe, the documentary invited famous British actor Ian McKellen to read 15 of Du’s poems that have been translated into English.
The one-hour film traces the poet’s life experiences in detail. Born in 712, Du lived under the reign of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong (713—756)， a time marked by extraordinary prosperity,
However, inclusiveness and cultural accomplishment， as the An Lushan Rebellion floored the empire, the 43-year-old Du, the former civil servant at the Tang court, had to take his family out of his hometown, and faced starvation and sufferings. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing and about 1, 500 poems have been kept over the ages.
Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. For example, in the poem My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales, he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, Pel house all scholars poor and make them beam with smiles”.
“That is why he was honored as a Poet Sage(诗圣)by later generations. A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces, ” Shi Wenxue, a cultural critic based in Beijing, told the Global Times.
Without doubt, Du is a cultural symbol of ancient China, but his brilliant works and core spirits have also inspired people outside of China. As the documentary noted, his work represents a precious cultural heritage for the entire world, not just China.
8. What can we know about the documentary?
A. It introduces Shakespeare.
B. Du Fu is acted by Ian McKellen in it.
C. Its target audience is Chinese.
D. It shows 15 of Du Fu’s poems to the audience.
9 Why was Du Fu honored as a Poet Sage by later generations?
A. Because of his caring about common people.
B. Because of his poem My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales.
C. Because of his low position in the government.
D. Because of his sentences of the poem.
10. What most inspired Du’s creation according to Shi Wenxue?
A. His work experience.
B. Hard life and his caring spirit.
C. The An Lushan Rebellion.
D. The Tang dynasty culture background.
11. In which column of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Sports. B. Health. C. Literature. D. Science.

【导语】本文为新闻报道。文章主要介绍新冠病毒流行期间许多不爱洗手的英国男士开始认真洗手。
41.考查非谓语动词。句意：在英国接受调查2000名男性中，32%的人说他们上完厕所后不洗手。句子谓语动词是said，之后是宾语从句，故空格处填入非谓语动词，men和survey之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处填入过去分词表被动，作后置定语。故填surveyed。
42.考查动名词。句意：在英国接受调查的2000名男性中，32%的人说他们上完厕所后不洗手。after是介词，后面的动词要用动名词形式作宾语。故填using。
43.考查副词和比较级。句意：然而，随着新冠肺炎疫情的蔓延，越来越多的男性比以前更频繁地洗手。空格处用副词修饰动词wash，frequent的副词是frequently，意为“频繁地”，空格处用原级和前面的more构成比较级，故填frequently。
44.考查代词。句意：几个月前，看到一个男人在公共厕所里使用水槽是很少见的。此处是固定句型“It be+adj.+ to do”，意为“做某事是……的”，it作形式主语，动词不定式是真正的主语。故填it。
45.考查名词的复数。句意：一位记者表示：“这一次，男厕所出现了排队的现象，因为新冠肺炎疫情第一次让男性洗手。”洗手是洗两只手，因此空格处用复数，故填hands。
46.考查定语从句。句意：世界各国政府都强调洗手重要性，洗手不仅应该在人们上完厕所后进行，而且应该贯穿一天中进行。空格处引导非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作主语，指代先行词handwashing，应用关系代词which。故填which。
47考查不定式。句意：专家说，定期洗手是防止新冠病毒传播的最佳方式。 way后常用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to prevent。
48.考查介词。句意：英国和美国的健康专家已经告诉人们要洗手每次至少20秒——或者唱“生日快乐”所需的时间的两倍。at least为固定搭配，意思是“至少”，符合句意。故填at。
49.考查形容词。句意：一位打电话给英国一家广播电台的听众讲述了他第一次意识到许多男性开始相信定期洗手有助于预防疾病。在系动词be后需要形容词作表语，根据语境可知，句子表示“许多男性开始相信定期洗手有助于预防疾病”，空格处意为“有帮助的”，形容词是helpful。故填helpful。
50.考查时态。句意：就在上周，他在高速公路上的厕所前停了下来的时候，他说：“一共有八个水槽，所有的水槽里都有人在仔细洗手。”。空处为从句谓语动词，last week表明时态为一般过去时，stop的过去式为stopped。故填stopped。
第四部分：写作(共两节, 满分35分)第一节短文改错(共10小题, 每小题1分, 满分10分)
Recently, our school has held an meaningful discussion on what it is reasonable for middle school students to have classes on weekends. Some of our classmate believe we should have classes on weekends because we can made full use of free time to review the lessons we had learnt. The others are against the opinion, saying we had better to have a good rest on weekends so that we can work effective during the weekdays. The rest agree with neither of the opinions. They have the view that keep the balance between work and play is important for us. They suggest one day of the weekends should used to learn our lessons and on the other day, we should do something interested or have a rest.
【答案】1.an → a 2.what → whether 3.classmate → classmates 4.made → make 5.we后面的had → have 6.删掉better后面的to 7.effective → effectively 8.keep → keeping 9.在最后一句的should后加be 10.interested → interesting
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了学校的一场关于中学生是否应该在周末上课的讨论。
【详解】1.考查冠词。句意：最近，我们学校就中学生周末上课是否合理进行了一次有意义的讨论。meaningful不是元音音素开头，前面用a即可。故把an改为a。
2.考查宾语从句连接词。句意：最近，我们学校就中学生周末上课是否合理进行了一次有意义的讨论。根据语境这里是说是否合理，on后面的宾语从句中不缺成分，不能用what来引导，且缺少“是否”的意思，whether符合题意，此处不能用if(是否)来引导，因为介词后面的宾语从句只能用whether。故把what改为whether。
3.考查名词单复数。句意：我们的一些同学认为我们应该在周末上课，因为我们可以充分利用空闲时间复习我们学过的课程。classmate是可数名词，前面被some of修饰，要用复数形式。故把classmate改为classmates。
4.考查动词。句意：我们的一些同学认为我们应该在周末上课，因为我们可以充分利用空闲时间复习我们学过的课程。情态动词can后面的动词应用动词原形，且主语we和make use of(利用)之间是主动关系，动词make应用原形。故把made改为make。
5.考查时态。句意：我们的一些同学认为我们应该在周末上课，因为我们可以充分利用空闲时间复习我们学过的课程。这里说我们已经学过的课程，前面的主句用的是一般现在时，这里用现在完成时即可，现在完成时的结构为have+过去分词。故把we后面的had改为have。
6.考查动词不定式。句意：其他人反对这个观点，说我们最好在周末好好休息，这样我们才能在工作日有效地工作。表示“最好做某事”是had better do sth. better后接的是省略to的动词不定式。故要把better后的to删掉。
7.考查副词，句意：其他人反对这个观点，说我们最好在周末好好休息，这样我们才能在工作日有效地工作。这里的effective是修饰动词work的，effective是形容词，要用副词形式来修饰动词。故把effective改为effectively。
8.考查非谓语动词。句意：他们认为保持工作和娱乐之间的平衡对我们来说很重要。that后面引导一个同位语从句，主语为keep the balance between work and play，动词不能作句子的主语，要改为动名词。故把keep改为keeping。
9.考查被动语态。句意：他们建议周末的一天应该用来学习功课，在另一天，我们应该做一些感兴趣的事情或休息一下。这里的one day和use之间是被动关系，用被动结构be used，be动词放在情态动词之后用原形即可。故在should后加be。
10.考查形容词。句意：他们建议周末的一天应该用来学习功课，在另一天，我们应该做一些感兴趣的事情或休息一下。这里是说有趣的事，修饰something即不定代词时，形容词后置，interested译为“感到有趣的，感兴趣的”，interesting“有趣的”符合题意。故把interested改为interesting。

Dear Committee members,
I wish to make a suggestion about starting a school art gallery.
There are many students who are good at painting in our school. The school art gallery can provide these students with a very good platform to display their own paintings, offer them a chance to admire the artistic achievements and the development of school culture as well as widen their knowledge. If you were to offer such an opportunity to the students who are fond of art, I believe they would give you a big surprise.
I would be more than happy if my suggestion could be considered.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
