阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
There are hundreds of bacterial(细菌的)species in our stomach. Bacterial diversity is a good thing, a general contributor to and marker of good health. But what does a healthy stomach look like Studies indicate that the composition varies by many factors.
One of the most important, it turns out, is who you currently live with. Researchers have come to the conclusion: Diet and heritability(遗传力) are known to affect the microbiome(微生物组), but social relationships shape it most—especially when it comes to marriage. The Dutch Project, which studied microbes in 8, 208 individuals belonging to three generations, finds that the heritability of microbes is only 1. 9 percent. They noticed much greater similarity among the unrelated individuals sharing a household than among relatives who do not share households, including twins whose living situations differ in adulthood.
The researchers found that nearly 50 percent of microbial types were significantly affected by cohabitation. In general, the microbiomes of all types of cohabitors (including parents and children) were more similar than those of participants living separately no matter their relatedness. Married couples who report having a close, loving relationship have the most similarity. Evidence of microbial sharing, especially of rare species, shows exchanges through interactions. And that puts highlight on acts of close relationship—including kissing. Scientists have known for decades that social relationships, especially marriage, powerfully affect health. Not only are the microbiomes of cohabiting couples more similar to each other; they also are more similarly diverse. There is a greater richness of species than in unmarried, noncohabiting individuals.
Despite the dominating influence of a close, cohabiting relationship, the microbiome can be different in diet, especially one rich in plant fiber. It can also be influenced by behavior, such as farming and gardening and exercise. Moreover, it’s adaptable to environment—green space and pollutants around you. Living in a rural environment brings increases in bacteria linked to health, and decreases in bacteria that are harmful. Living with pets also has a positive effect on the microbiome, while exposure to air pollution, especially car exhaust, and passive exposure to cigarette smoke have negative effects.
It can also be affected by direct addition of specific species of bacteria, delivered in consumable probiotics(口服益生菌). There are probiotics now marketed for digestive health, others aimed at immune health, and still others for boosting mood. Now that it’s clear that social relations play the largest role in the makeup of the microbiome, can probiotics for singles be far behind
21. Which group has the most similar microbiomes
A. Husband and wife. B. Adult twins.
C. Grandfather and grandson. D. Colleagues.
22. What can we learn from this passage
A. Diet has a dominating influence on microbiomes.
B. Cohabitation is helpful for us to have a balanced diet.
C. Social relations play a similar role as some probiotics.
D. The microbiomes in couples are less diverse than singles.
23. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Who Are the Healthiest People B. How Does Social Life Affect Our Health
C. What Will a Healthy Stomach Look Like D. How Do Microbiomes Work in Our Body
B
What is the most meaningless thing every Texan will do at the same time this weekend
You guessed it. We will “fall back” when our clocks are set backward one hour in observance of daylight saving time.
This strange practice has an interesting history. In 1784, Benjamin Franklin published a critical essay in a French newspaper suggesting that Parisians could save $200 million through “the economy of using sunshine instead of candles”. Therefore ， many people owe the origin of the idea of daylight saving time to our Founding Father's writings. In the United States, the clock-changing practice began just over 100 years ago, in 1918, when Congress decided to control time by passing the Standard Time Act to save energy and create time zones. Back then, coal was our top energy source and ensuring that Americans had more daylight working hours made sense.
In 2008, the U. S. Department of Energy assessed the effect of observing daylight saving time on national energy consumption. It found that resetting our clocks amounts to a reduction in our total energy consumption of 0. 02%. The study also determined that sticking with one time could actually save about 0.5% of electricity per day nationwide. Apart from this, the risk of heart attack increases 10% in the days following springing forward, most likely caused by the interruption of biological rhythms. Studies also indicate we are more likely to get sick, we are less productive, and frankly we are just exhausted directly following the time change.
It is hard to explain why we still change our clocks. Perhaps it is due to special interests. Congress passed the Energy Act of 2005, which extended the length of daylight saving time an extra week in the fall, in large part due to an effort by candy producers to allow for an additional daylight hour on the night of Halloween for trick -or - treating.
This May, we sought to end this ancient practice. It would have allowed Texans to vote whether to stay on standard time year-round or daylight saving time year-round. Our proposal passed the House （众议院）133-9. Sadly, once the bill reached the Senate （参议院）,it was never referred to a committee. The proposal died in the Senate without even a word spoken about it on the floor.
I'm moving forward with plans to file the legislation （立 法） again in 2021. I urge you to contact your state legislators to move this legislation forward so that this weekend will be one of the last times we have to “fall back.”
24. The possible origin of the idea of daylight saving time is .
A. the ancient legal act B. the influence of other countries
C. the need for time zones D. the advice from a famous politician
25. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The reasons for health problems. B. The downsides of setting clocks back.
C. The changes in energy consumption. D. The solutions to electricity shortages.
25. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that .
A. daylight saving time will last for another two years
B. the author will continue what he has been doing
C. Texans voted for standard time year-round
D. state legislators are for the proposal
27. The passage aims to .
A. analyze the practice of daylight saving time
B. explain the consequences of daylight saving time
C. convince people of the necessity of daylight saving time
D. persuade people to make efforts to stop daylight saving time
C
The start-up that attracted the largest investment in the history of cybersecurity, of more than half a billion dollars, has a simple goal: a passwordless future.
Despite the spread of password management software that can generate and remember complicated strings of random characters, some of the most common passwords are still “12345”, “password” and “iloveyou”. As a result, more than 80 percent of hacks involve these kinds of passwords; and passwords remain the most sought-after data by hackers, above other personal or sensitive information.
In many cases, individuals are tricked into handing over password details by phishing emails and other social engineering techniques. Hackers have sought to break into apps and steal entire password databases as well. Passwords are also under attack from new technology, such as automated programs that can rapidly try to guess them, or can try stolen passwords on multiple online accounts.
Since the need to replace the easily forgotten and highly hackable strings of letters and numbers that we use to access everyday life has become even more urgent, the race to replace the password is under way, with biometric-based (基于生物识别的) security emerging as one of the most sought-after solutions. According to Tieo, a union of more than 250 companies, which promotes a standard system of passwordless authentication (身份验证), the vast majority of consumer services will offer passwordless login systems in the next couple of years. “If done correctly and safely, biometrics are really helping us move to a passwordless future in a rapid manner,” said Andrew Jenkinson, CEO of Tieo.
But there are still risks associated with the use of biometric authentication. Unlike passwords, biometrics cannot be changed. This means such data must be closely guarded for privacy purposes and to prevent spoofing—hackers trying to trick cameras or sensors with photos, or masks of their victim. “Biometric authentication and passwordless authentication has its own attack surface,” said Paul Smith, director of security research at CyberPek. His team revealed that it had found a design problem which would allow potential attackers to bypass facial recognition login by injecting a spoofed photo of a user’s face into the process.
The biggest obstacle standing in the way of the start-ups hoping to kill the password is how to change years of habit. Eric Brown, founder of TAK Cyber, a cyber research and advisory company, argued that while sensitive applications may rapidly shift from passwords, other websites have less motivation to update their systems. “You’ll never get rid of them,” he said. “We’re never going to get to the post-password era.”
28．What is the third paragraph mainly about
A．Why passwords are the most sought-after data.
B．How passwords are stolen by phishing emails.
C．How passwords have caused us trouble.
D．Why passwords are difficult to secure.
29．What can we infer from the passage
A．Facial recognition login is the key to fighting hackers.
B．Biometric authentication has its own set of problems.
C．TAK Cyber’s login system guarantees the safety of data.
D．Spoofing brings more problems than automated programs.
30．What is Eric Brown’s attitude towards a passwordless future
A．Indifferent. B．Passionate. C．Pessimistic. D．Objective.
31．Which would be the best title for the passage
A．Biometric authentication: password security solution!
B．Start-ups race to welcome a passwordless future
C．The argument to end passwords has begun
D．Killing the password: a cure or a fantasy
D
Across much of Spain on Tuesday morning, a thin layer (层) of red dust (尘埃) coated everything outside. This included cars, buses, trees, and plants.
As the sun rose, the dust in the air turned the skies in some cities a strange orange. The cause of the dust and unusual sky color wasn’t a forest fire, but the dust from the Sahara Desert. Every year, a large cloud of dust rises from the Sahara Desert. It’s called the Saharan Air Layer. Usually, it crosses the Atlantic Ocean as part of a natural cycle (圈) that helps develop farmland in Central and South America.
But sometimes, depending on the weather, the layer of dust gets forced to the north. Large sandstorms in northern Africa lift sand and dust into the air, where it gets blown toward Spain. These kinds of storms aren’t unknown in Spain. In fact, it has a special name, calima. It is so large that it can be seen from space. A NASA scientist says it’s like a river of dust in the air. That river of dust has met with a river of wet air driven by strong winds. People in some cities, like Malaga and Navarra, reported that it was raining dust. In other places, the dust changed the color of the snow on the ground.
The dust cloud continued to move north and west, hitting both France and the United Kingdom. The dust is expected to keep stalking, possibly as far north as Denmark. The dust cloud may make some places a little foggy and sunsets very colorful.
Some weather experts warn that climate change could make dust storms from the Sahara Desert even more serious in the future.
32．Normally, what does the Saharan Air Layer do
A．It’s farmland-friendly. B．It does good to the desert.
C．It ends in the desert. D．It disappears in the ocean.
33．What can be learnt about the calima in Spain
A．It has different colors. B．It causes heavy rains.
C．It is huge and famous. D．It is formed near rivers.
34．What does the underlined word “stalking” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Rising. B．Spreading. C．Getting weak. D．Becoming different.
35．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A．Culture. B．Health. C．Agriculture. D．Nature.

【原文】W: My name is Amanda Brown, the founder of the non-profit organization Sewing Mouth Masks. Some people may ask me how I started the organization. Well, I am a patient with lung problems. I have depended on caregivers for years. Recently, one of the m told me she had paid 10 dollars for a mask to protect herself from the flu. Not until then did I realize the severe shortage of masks. That gave me an idea. I could do something for those who once helped me — my doctor, my friends. I hope they could protect themselves better. As a woman good at sewing, I came up with the idea of sewing masks for my doctor and caregivers. Quite beyond my expectations, a week later, what started as a one-person operation has grown into a small army of at-home volunteer mask makers. I created a webpage called Sewing Mouth Masks. For the first two days, 3,000 members registered. Soon, that number rose to 5,300. Therefore, I established the organization named after the webpage and we volunteered to make masks for those who need them. Now, we have plenty of volunteers. But it’s still far from enough to relieve the shortage of masks. We still need many more hands. Anyone who wants to help is welcome, even if you can only make one a day. Come on, join us and make your contributions.
21. A 22. C 23. C
【解析】文章是一篇说明文，介绍了一个健康的胃的组成是有很多不同的因素。
21.细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers have come to the conclusion: Diet and heritability(遗传力) are known to affect the microbiome(微生物组), but social relationships shape it most—especially when it comes to marriage. ”（研究人员得出结论：饮食遗传力已知会影响微生物组，但社会关系影响最大，尤其是婚姻关系。）以及“They noticed much greater similarity among the unrelated individuals sharing a household than among relatives who do not share households, including twins whose living situations differ in adulthood.”（同住一个家庭的无血缘关系的个体之间的相似性比不同住一个家庭之间的无血缘关系的亲属之间的相似性要大得多）可知，丈夫和妻子的关系会具有相似的微生物群。故选A项。
22.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now that it’s clear that social relations play the largest role in the makeup of the microbiome, can probiotics for singles be far behind ”（既然社会关系在微生物的构成中起着重大的作用，那么单身者们的益生菌还会远吗？）可知，社会关系和一些益生菌都在微生物的构成中起着重要作用，由此可推知，社会关系和一些益生菌有着相似的作用。故选C。
23.主旨大意题。结合文章第一自然段“There are hundreds of bacterial(细菌的)species in our stomach. Bacterial diversity is a good thing, a general contributor to and marker of good health. But what does a healthy stomach look like Studies indicate that the composition varies by many factors.(我们的胃里有数百种细菌。细菌多样性是一件好事，是健康的总体贡献者和标志。但是健康的胃是什么样子的呢？研究表明，成分因许多因素而异。)”可知，本文介绍了一个健康的人的胃受到各种因素的影响，C项“健康的胃会是什么样子？”最适合做文章标题，故选C。
24. D 25. B 26. B 27. D
【解析】这是篇说明文。介绍了在加州夏令时的起源、发展、存在的问题和未来的实施前景。
24.根据第三段中“In 1784, Benjamin Franklin published a critical essay in a French newspaper suggesting that Parisians could save $200 million through “the economy of using sunshine instead of candles”. Therefore ， many people owe the origin of the idea of daylight saving time to our Founding Father's writings.”可知，在1784年富兰克林在法国报纸上发表了一篇文章，关于建议用日光代替蜡烛，巴黎人每年可以节约2亿元，因此很多人把夏令时的想法归因于开国元勋富兰克林的文章，表明夏令时的想法起源于一位政治家的建议，D项切题。故选D项。
25.段落大意题。根据第四段中“Studies also indicate we are more likely to get sick, we are less productive, and frankly we are just exhausted directly following the time change.”可知研究表明我们更可能生病、效率更低，坦白地说时间的改变会直接导致我们疲惫，表明此段讲述了调回时间带来的负面影响，B项切题。故选B项。
26.推理判断题。根据第六段中“The proposal died in the Senate without even a word spoken about it on the floor.”和最后一段中“I'm moving forward with plans to file the legislation （ 立 法） again in 2021.”可知这个提议在参议院只字未提就被拒绝了，我会在2021年继续推进这些立法文件，因此最后两段表明作者会继续做他一直在做的事情，B项切合题意。选B。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I urge you to contact your state legislators to move this legislation forward so that this weekend will be one of the last times we have to ‘fall back’”可知，作者强烈建议大家联系本州的立法机构来推进立法进程，这样的话本周末就会是我们最后一次调回时间的周末了，意在表明作者劝大家为了停止夏令时做些努力，D项切题。选D项。
28．D 29．B 30．C 31．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了很多公司投入到无密码的研究中，但是其中还有许多问题需要解决。
28．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“In many cases, individuals are tricked into handing over password details by phishing emails and other social engineering techniques. Hackers have sought to break into apps and steal entire password databases as well. Passwords are also under attack from new technology, such as automated programs that can rapidly try to guess them, or can try stolen passwords on multiple online accounts.(在许多情况下，个人通过网络钓鱼邮件和其他社会工程技术被骗提供密码细节。黑客还试图侵入应用程序，窃取整个密码数据库。密码也受到新技术的攻击，比如自动程序可以快速猜测密码，或者在多个在线账户上尝试窃取密码)”可知，第三段主要讲为什么密码很难保护。故选D项。
29．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But there are still risks associated with the use of biometric authentication. Unlike passwords, biometrics cannot be changed. This means such data must be closely guarded for privacy purposes and to prevent spoofing—hackers trying to trick cameras or sensors with photos, or masks of their victim. “Biometric authentication and passwordless authentication has its own attack surface,” said Paul Smith, director of security research at CyberPek. His team revealed that it had found a design problem which would allow potential attackers to bypass facial recognition login by injecting a spoofed photo of a user’s face into the process.(但使用生物特征认证仍然存在风险。与密码不同，生物识别是无法更改的。这意味着出于隐私的考虑，这些数据必须被严密保护，以防止黑客试图用受害者的照片或面具来欺骗摄像头或传感器。CyberPek安全研究主管保罗 史密斯（Paul Smith）表示:“生物特征认证和无密码认证都有自己的攻击面。”他的团队透露，他们发现了一个设计问题，即潜在的攻击者可以通过在登录过程中注入伪造的用户面部照片来绕过面部识别登录)”可知，生物识别认证有其自身的问题。故选B项。
30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Eric Brown, founder of TAK Cyber, a cyber research and advisory company, argued that while sensitive applications may rapidly shift from passwords, other websites have less motivation to update their systems. “You’ll never get rid of them,” he said. “We’re never going to get to the post-password era.””(网络研究和咨询公司TAK Cyber的创始人埃里克 布朗（Eric Brown）认为，尽管敏感应用程序可能很快就不再使用密码，但其他网站就没有动力更新它们的系统。“你永远也摆脱不了他们，”他说。“我们永远不会进入后密码时代。”)”可知，埃里克·布朗对无密码的未来并不看好，持悲观态度。故选C项。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“The start-up that attracted the largest investment in the history of cybersecurity, of more than half a billion dollars, has a simple goal: a passwordless future.(这家初创公司吸引了网络安全史上最大的投资，超过5亿美元，它的目标很简单:一个无密码的未来)”以及第四段“Since the need to replace the easily forgotten and highly hackable strings of letters and numbers that we use to access everyday life has become even more urgent, the race to replace the password is under way, with biometric-based security emerging as one of the most sought-after solutions.(由于替换我们用来访问日常生活的容易忘记且极易被黑客入侵的字母和数字字符串的需求变得更加迫切，替换密码的竞赛正在进行中，基于生物识别的安全技术成为最受欢迎的解决方案之一)”可知，本文主要讲很多公司都投入到无密码研究中，再根据倒数第二段中“But there are still risks associated with the use of biometric authentication. Unlike passwords, biometrics cannot be changed. This means such data must be closely guarded for privacy purposes and to prevent spoofing—hackers trying to trick cameras or sensors with photos, or masks of their victim.(但使用生物特征认证仍然存在风险。与密码不同，生物识别是无法更改的。这意味着出于隐私的考虑，这些数据必须被严密保护，以防止黑客试图用受害者的照片或面具来欺骗摄像头或传感器)”以及最后一段中“The biggest obstacle standing in the way of the start-ups hoping to kill the password is how to change years of habit.(对于那些希望消灭密码的初创企业来说，最大的障碍是如何改变多年来的习惯)”可知，无密码研究中还存在许多问题，到底能不能达到，我们并不知道，所以D项“Killing the password: a cure or a fantasy (消除密码：治愈还是幻想？)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。
32．A 33．C 34．B 35．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了每年撒哈拉沙漠都会升起一大片被称为撒哈拉空气层的尘土，它是自然循环的一部分。同时介绍了撒哈拉空气层所经之处对天气变化的影响。
32．细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“Usually, it crosses the Atlantic Ocean as part of a natural cycle (圈) that helps develop farmland in Central and South America. (通常，它作为自然循环的一部分穿越大西洋，这有助于开发中美洲和南美洲的农田。)”可知，通常情况下，撒哈拉空气层对农田很友好，故选A。
33．推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“In fact, it has a special name, calima. It is so large that it can be seen from space. (这种风暴在西班牙并不罕见。事实上，它有一个特殊的名字，卡利马。它如此之大，以至于可以从太空中看到)”可知，西班牙的calima是巨大而且著名的，故选C。
34．词义猜测题。文章划线单词上一句“The dust cloud continued to move north and west, hitting both France and the United Kingdom. (尘云继续向北和向西移动，袭击了法国和英国。预计灰尘将继续传播，可能会一直向北到丹麦)”可知划线单词所在句子The dust is expected to keep stalking, possibly as far north as Denmark.的意思是：预计灰尘将继续跟踪，可能会一直向北到丹麦。因此第四段中带下划线单词的意思是“传播”，故选B。
35．推理判断题。本文主要介绍了每年撒哈拉沙漠都会升起一大片被称为撒哈拉空气层的尘土，它是自然循环的一部分。同时介绍了撒哈拉空气层所经之处对天气变化的影响。尤其文章第二段“Every year, a large cloud of dust rises from the Sahara Desert. It’s called the Saharan Air Layer. Usually, it crosses the Atlantic Ocean as part of a natural cycle (圈) that helps develop farmland in Central and South America. (每年，撒哈拉沙漠都会升起一大片尘土。它被称为撒哈拉空气层。通常，它作为自然循环的一部分穿越大西洋这有助于开发中美洲和南美洲的农田。)”可知，这篇文章可以出现在报纸的自然部分。故选D。

I can’t wait to tell you the good news that I won the first prize in the English Speech Contest held in our school! I am writing to show my gratitude to you.
I would always remember that before the contest, you gave me many valuable suggestions about how to perform better during the contest, such as reading English text loudly every morning. Besides, your encouragement also made me full of confidence. Thanks to your guidance, I really kept calm and showed the best of myself to others.
Without your patient help, I couldn’t make such an achievement. Thank you again for your kindness! Best wishes to you!
