As an intense heat wave sweeps through China, residents are seeking relief in air raid shelters
and swimming pools to stay cool, and dozens of cities, including Shanghai, Chongqing and
Hangzhou, have issued their highest-level red alert warnings. Shanghai has issued three red alerts
this year, with the temperature hitting 40.9 Celsius on July 13, matching the record set in 2017
since 1873. The fact that Shanghai has experienced only 16 days of 40°C-plus temperatures since

{#{QQABBQKEogCgQhAAAQgCEwEACgMQkAGCCKoOwBAIoAAAgANABAA=}#}
the city began keeping records in 1873 should give us an idea about the seriousness of the
situation.
Medical experts say extreme heat could cause nausea (恶心), fatigue, sunstroke and even death,
with senior citizens and people with long-term illnesses particularly vulnerable to heat waves.
Extreme heat events, which began a month ago, have affected the lives of more than 900
million people in China. Between June 1 and July 12, the average number of days with
temperatures above 35°C was 5.3, up 2.4 days over normal years, breaking the national record set
in 1961, according to the National Climate Center.
Parts of Europe are also in the grip of heat waves and experiencing extreme weather events
after the western part of North America faced extreme heat waves last year. In response to the
exceptionally high temperatures, the United Kingdom has declared a national emergency and
issued the highest-level red alert warning for Monday and Tuesday for the first time. More
alarmingly, the average global temperature in June this year was 0.4°C higher than normal years
and the highest since 1979, with temperatures in countries such as Spain, France and Italy
exceeding 40°C．
Unfortunately, extreme heat, which is directly related to climate change, will become more
frequent and intense in the next 30 years, setting new records for high temperatures. As global
warming intensifies, losses and devastation will increase, forcing natural and human systems to
raise their adaptation limits.
24. What can we know about the heat waves this year
A. It may cause more harm to the old and people with long-term illnesses.
B. The number of days above 35°C in June breaks the national record.
C. Shanghai has experienced a higher temperature than that in 2017.
D. The whole Europe as well as America are suffering from the heat waves.
25. How does the author develop the text
A. By analyzing and concluding. B. By explaining and contrasting.
C. By giving examples and quoting. D. By giving figures and comparing.
26. According to the writer, what is the trend of extreme heat
A. Becoming more serious. B. Remaining stable.
C. Staying unpredictable. D. Getting controllable.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. The solutions to the climate change. B. The economic losses from heat waves.
C. The increase of severe heat waves. D. The destructive effect of global warming.

Every year thousands of people come to the city of Pamplona, in north-eastern Spain, for the
chance to run for their lives as six fighting bulls are released to charge through the town. There are
injuries and deaths every year, but the event is of interest to many people. A paper just published
in Science describes the insight the event offers into the psychology of panicked crowds.

That is a useful topic to explore. Arehitects, civil engineers and urban planners must try to
work out how people will behave in the event of a disaster like a fire, a flood or a terrorist attack
so they can design their creations to avoid potentially deadly collisions (碰撞 ). Unfortunately,
solid information is hard to come by. Daniel Parisi, the paper’s lead author, realized that the
Pamplona bull-runs offered the perfect natural experiment.
Dr Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations in Pamplona in July 2019, and
filmed the runners as the animals were released. Later in the lab, they calculated the speed of the
runners, the density (密度) of the crowd, the probability of a runner tripping and falling and the
relationship between runner-group density and speed.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the researchers found that runners picked up speed when the bulls
drew near. Less expected was the finding that the speed of individual runners increased with the
density of the crowd, which was contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and
urban-design circles that people will slow their pace as group density goes up, in order to lower
the risk of a collision, which could lead to a fall and, perhaps, injury or death.
Yet it seems that, in the heat of the moment, people pay little attention to the danger of
colliding with each other, and do not slow down. The responsibility therefore falls upon urban
designers to work out how best to plan the construction of future tunnels, bridges and other
passages that restrict flow. The only option may well be to make them wider.
28. What did Dr Parisi and his team do in Pamplona
A. They proved his theory. B. They recorded a bull-run.
C. They watched a thrilling bull-fight. D. They designed a psychological experiment.
29．What was the unexpected finding in the study
A. People slowed down in crowded areas.
B. Tripping posed a danger to bull-runners.
C. Bulls coming near made people running faster.
D. People tended to speed up in high-density crowds.
30．What is implied in the last paragraph
A. People lose their mind in disasters.
B. Future tunnels and bridges may be wider.
C. Panicked crowds are aware of the danger of collision.
D. Restricting flow helps to prevent people colliding each other.
31．Which is the best title for the text
A. How crowds react to panic B. Bull-runs caught on in Spain
C. Dr Parisi’s finding shocks the world D. What architects can learn from bull-running
D
“There is one and only one social responsibility of business,” wrote Milton Friedman, a Nobel
Prize-winning economist, “that is, to use its resources and engage in activities designed to
increase its profits.” But even if you accept Friedman’s statement and regard corporate social

responsibility (CSR) policies as a waste of shareholders’ money, things may not be absolutely
clear-cut. New research suggests that CSR may create monetary value for companies at least
when they are charged with corruption (腐败).
The largest firms in America and Britain together spend more than $15 billion a year on CSR,
according to an estimate by EPG, a consulting firm. This could add value to their businesses in
three ways. First, consumers may take CSR spending as a “signal” that a company’s products are
of high quality. Second, customers may be willing to buy a company’s products as an indirect way
to donate to the good causes it helps. And third, through a more diffuse (分散的) “halo effect” its
good deeds earn it greater consideration from consumers and others.
Previous studies on CSR have had trouble distinguishing these effects because consumers can
be affected by all three. A recent study attempts to separate them by looking at bribery
prosecutions (起诉) under American’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). It argues that since
prosecutors do not consume a company’s products as part of their investigations, they could be
influenced only by the halo effect.
The study finds that, among prosecuted firms, those with the most comprehensive CSR
programmes tend to get more lenient punishments. Their analysis rules out the possibility that it
is the firm’s political influence, rather than its CSR stance, that accounts for the leniency:
Companies that contribute more to political campaigns do not receive lower fines.
In all, the study concludes that whereas prosecutors should only evaluate a case based on its
merits, they do seem to be influenced by a company’s record in CSR. “We estimate that either
eliminating a substantial labor-rights concern, such as child labor, or increasing corporate giving
by about 20% result in fines that generally are 40% lower than the typical punishment for bribing
foreign officials.” says one researcher.
Researchers admit that their study does not answer the question at how much businesses ought
to spend on CSR. Nor does it reveal how much companies are relying on the halo effect, rather
than the other possible benefits, when companies get into trouble with the law, evidence of good
character can win them a less costly punishment.
32. The author views Milton Friedman’s statement about CSR with___________.
A. uncertainty B. interest C. approval D. tolerance
33．According to Paragraph 2, CSR helps a company by___________.
A. guarding it against malpractices B. protecting it from consumers
C. winning trust from consumers D. raising the quality of its products
34. The underlined expression “more lenient” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to_________.
A. less debatable B. more lasting C. more effective D. less severe
35. When prosecutors evaluate a case, a company’s CSR record___________.
A. comes across as reliable evidence B. has an impact on their decision
C. is considered part of the investigation D. increases the chance of being punished

多余选项。
There’s a lot to cope with when you go off to university. __36__ For most students, a
completely new environment is waiting to be explored.
We recently drove our daughter Evie 150 miles to start life as a fresher. It was a struggle to
find the car park, let alone explore the huge campus. Although we knew she had flatmates and
phone apps to get her to fit in, the challenge ahead was clear — to find her way in an unfamiliar
world. __37__
In a recent study, volunteers walked around a virtual forest environment. Then some of them
took the same walk again, while others explored a different forest. __38__ According to the
researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine(多巴胺)
system — setting up their brains for memorizing things. Thus, they scored higher.
So leaving home to study makes perfect sense. __39__ But we may all be able to gain some
of the benefits, even if it’s just by stimulating our senses and challenging our thinking skills. Here
are three things to try：
◆Go somewhere new to tackle an upcoming learning task — like memorizing a speech in
the library, or revising for an exam in a park — and take an unfamiliar route to get there.
◆__40__ To warm yourself up for learning, picture a city you know well, but imagine
you’re trapped in a part of it that you’ve never visited. Then try to visualize exactly how you’ll get
out.
◆Play video games that get you moving through new landscapes. Then see whether it
improves your success with other learning tasks, like practising a dance or mastering phrases for a
foreign trip.
A. Get lost in your imagination.
B. Prepare yourself for a city tour.
C. But exploring places as such is beneficial to memory.
D. People prove to be more adaptable after new experience.
E. The latter group performed better in memory tests straight after.
F. There are new friends to meet and new responsibilities to accept.
G. Young minds seem to gain most from being in strange surroundings.

“She changed the world,” I finally said, “one small plant at a time. She started almost 40 years

The wonder of it would not let me go. “Imagine,” I said, “if I’d had a dream

阅读理解解析：
B篇【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了高温天气的危害以及高温天气的增加情况。
24．细节理解题。根据第二段“Medical experts say extreme heat could cause nausea (恶心),
fatigue, sunstroke and even death, with senior citizens and people with long-term illnesses
particularly vulnerable to heat waves.(医学专家表示，极端高温会导致恶心、疲劳、中暑甚至
死亡，老年人和长期病患者尤其容易受到高温的影响)”可知，今年的高温可能对老年人和
有长期疾病的人造成更大的伤害。故选 A。
25．推理判断题。根据第一段“Shanghai has issued three red alerts this year, with the temperature
hitting 40.9 Celsius on July 13, matching the record set in 2017 since 1873. The fact that Shanghai
has experienced only 16 days of 40°C-plus temperatures since the city began keeping records in
1873 should give us an idea about the seriousness of the situation.(上海今年发布了三次红色预
警，7月 13日气温达到 40.9摄氏度，追平了自 1873年以来 2017年创下的纪录。上海自 1873
年开始记录气温以来，只有 16天气温超过 40摄氏度，这一事实应该让我们了解到情况的严
重性)”以及第三段“Extreme heat events, which began a month ago, have affected the lives of
more than 900 million people in China. Between June 1 and July 12, the average number of days
with temperatures above 35°C was 5.3, up 2.4 days over normal years, breaking the national
record set in 1961, according to the National Climate Center.(一个月前开始的极端高温天气已
经影响了中国 9亿多人的生活。根据国家气候中心的数据，6月 1日至 7月 12日期间，平
均气温在 35℃以上的天数为 5.3天，比正常年份增加 2.4天，打破了 1961年创下的全国纪
录)”可推知，作者通过给出数字和比较展开文章。故选 D。
26．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Unfortunately, extreme heat, which is directly related to climate
change, will become more frequent and intense in the next 30 years, setting new records for high
temperatures.(不幸的是，与气候变化直接相关的极端高温将在未来 30年变得更加频繁和强
烈，创造新的高温记录)”可知，根据作者的观点，极端高温的趋势会变得越来越严重。故
选 A。
27．主旨大意题。根据第一段“As an intense heat wave sweeps through China, residents are
seeking relief in air raid shelters and swimming pools to stay cool, and dozens of cities, including
Shanghai, Chongqing and Hangzhou, have issued their highest-level red alert warnings.(随着强烈
的高温席卷中国，居民们纷纷到防空洞和游泳池寻求降温，包括上海、重庆和杭州在内的数
十个城市发布了最高级别的红色预警)”结合文章主要说明了高温天气的危害以及高温天气
的增加情况。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是严重高温的增加。故选 C。
C篇【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在 Pamplona，每年有很多人来看“奔牛”，科学家通过研
究“奔牛”过程中人们奔跑速度的快慢，发现跑步者的速度随着人群密度的增加而增加，这
给了建筑设计师关于城市建设的很多启示。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Every year thousands of people come to the city of Pamplona,
in north-eastern Spain, for the opportunity to run for their lives as six fighting bulls are released to
charge through the town. There are injuries and deaths every year, but the event is of interest to
many people.(每年都有成千上万的人来到西班牙东北部的潘普洛纳市，寻找逃命的机会，因
为六头正在战斗的公牛被释放出来，在该市到处冲撞。每年都有受伤和死亡事件发生，但许
多人对这项活动很感兴趣)”可知，潘普洛纳的奔牛节很刺激，但也很危险。故选 A项。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Dr Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations
in Pamplona in July 2019, and filmed the runners as the animals were released. Later in the lab,
4
{#{QQABBQKEogCgQhAAAQgCEwEACgMQkAGCCKoOwBAIoAAAgANABAA=}#}
they calculated the speed of the runners, the density of the crowd，the probability of a runner
tripping and falling and the relationship between runner-group density and speed.(2019年 7月，
帕里西博士和他的团队前往潘普洛纳的两个不同的屋顶地点，在动物被释放时拍摄了跑步者。
随后在实验室中，他们计算了跑步者的速度、人群密度、跑步者绊倒和摔倒的概率以及跑步
者群体密度和速度之间的关系)”可知，帕里西博士和他的团队去了两个不同的屋顶地点是
为了收集相关资料。故选 D项。
30．此句猜测题。根据后文“which was contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and
urban-design circles that people will slow their pace as group density goes up, in order to lower
the risk of a collision, which could lead to a fall and, perhaps,injury or death.(与建筑和城市设计
界长期以来的假设相反。该假设认为，随着人群密度的增加，人们会放慢步伐，以降低可能
导致摔倒甚至受伤甚至死亡的碰撞风险)”可知，人们刚开始时认为随着人群密度的增加，
人们会放慢步伐，结果确是相反的，所以此处 augmented应是“提高”之意，表达“个体跑
步者的速度会随着人群密度的增加而增加”之意，与 Increased意思相近。故选 D项。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It seems that, in the heat of the moment, people pay little
attention to the danger of colliding with each other and even accelerate. The responsibility
therefore falls upon urban designers to work out how best to plan the construction of future
tunnels, bridges and other passages that restrict flow. The only option may well be to make them
broad enough.(似乎，在最激动的时刻，人们很少注意到相互碰撞甚至加速的危险。因此，城
市设计师的责任是制定出如何最好地规划未来的隧道、桥梁和其他限制交通的通道的建设。
唯一的选择可能是让它们足够广泛)”可推知，未来的隧道和桥梁可能会更宽。故选 B项。
D篇【导语】本文是一篇新闻报告。文章探讨了企业社会责任对企业在法律纠纷中的影响，
研究发现，拥有全面企业社会责任计划的公司在被起诉时通常会受到较轻的惩罚，这表明企
业社会责任可能为企业创造货币价值，并在法律纠纷中起到积极作用。
32．推理判断题。根据第一段“But even if you accept Friedman’s statement and regard corporate
social responsibility (CSR) policies as a waste of shareholders’ money, things may not be
absolutely clear-cut. New research suggests that CSR may create monetary value for companies at
least when they are charged with corruption(腐败). (但是，即使你接受弗里德曼的说法，并认为
企业社会责任政策是在浪费股东的钱，事情可能也不是绝对明确的。新的研究表明，企业社
会责任至少可以在企业被控腐败的情况下为企业创造经济价值。)”可知，作者不确定地看
待米尔顿·弗里德曼关于企业社会责任的陈述，他认为事情可能也不是绝对明确的。故选 A
项。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段“First, consumers may take CSR spending as a ‘signal’ that a
company’s products are of high quality. Second, customers may be willing to buy a company’s
products as an indirect way to donate to the good causes it helps. And third, through a more
diffuse(分散的) ‘halo effect’ its good deeds earn it greater consideration from consumers and
others. (首先，消费者可能将企业社会责任支出视为企业产品质量高的‘信号’。其次，消费
者可能愿意购买公司的产品，作为一种间接的方式来捐赠给它所帮助的慈善事业。第三，通
过一种更广泛的‘光环效应’，它的善行赢得了消费者和其他人更多的关注。)”可知，承担
企业社会责任的行为能帮助企业赢得消费者的信任，消费者认为该企业的产品质量好，愿意
购买企业的产品，会更多地关注该企业。故选 C项。
34．词句猜测题。根据第四段“The study finds that, among prosecuted firms, those with the most
comprehensive CSR programmes tend to get more lenient punishments. Their analysis rules out
the possibility that it is the firm’s political influence, rather than its CSR stance, that accounts for
5
{#{QQABBQKEogCgQhAAAQgCEwEACgMQkAGCCKoOwBAIoAAAgANABAA=}#}
the leniency: Companies that contribute more to political campaigns do not receive lower fines.
(研究发现，在被起诉的公司中，那些拥有最全面的企业社会责任计划的公司往往会得到more
lenient的惩罚。他们的分析排除了这样一种可能性，即公司的政治影响力，而不是其企业社
会责任立场，导致了宽大处理：对政治活动贡献更多的公司并没有得到更低的罚款)”可知，
对政治活动贡献更多的公司并没有得到更低的罚款，处以更低的、更轻的罚款的是有最全面
的企业社会责任计划的公司，more lenient意为“更宽容的”，故选 D项。
35．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In all, the study concludes that whereas prosecutors should
only evaluate a case based on its merits, they do seem to be influenced by a company’s record in
CSR.(总而言之，该研究得出的结论是，尽管检察官应该只根据案情来评估案件，但他们似
乎确实会受到公司在企业社会责任方面的记录的影响。)”可知，当检察官评估案件时，公
司的企业社会责任的记录会影响到他的评判，故选 B项。
七选五【导语】本文是篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己女儿的例子，表达了人们在一个陌生的
新的环境中，应该勇于探索和尝试的观点，作者认为这会给人们带来好处，并给出了一些具
体的做法和建议。
36．根据上一句“There’s a lot to cope with when you go off to university.”（当你离开家去上
大学时，有很多事情要处理。），选项 F. There are new friends to meet and new responsibilities to
accept. （有新的朋友要认识，有新的责任要承担。）补充说明了离开家去上大学时会面对的
情况，与上一句是并列递进关系，承接上文，衔接合理。故选 F。
37．根据前文“It was a struggle to find the car park, let alone explore the huge campus.”（找到
停车场都很困难，更不用说探索这个巨大的校园了。）和“Although we knew she had flatmates
and phone apps to get her to fit in, the challenge ahead was clear—to find her way in an unfamiliar
world. ”（虽然我们知道她有室友和手机应用程序让她适应环境，但前方的挑战很明显——
在一个陌生的世界里找到自己的路。）可知，前文表达了目前主要的挑战是适应新环境，而
不是探索校园；但根据第三段“According to the researchers, that was because exploring the new
environment stimulated their dopamine (多巴胺) system—setting up their brains for memorizing
things. ”（根据研究人员的说法，这是因为探索新环境刺激了他们的多巴胺系统—建立他们
的大脑来记忆东西。）可知，探索新环境对大脑记忆是有好处的，所以选项 C. But exploring
places as such is beneficial to memory.（但探索这样的地方对记忆是有益的。）与前文有转折
关系，合理引出了下文，符合语境。故选 C。
38．根据上一句“Then some of them took the same walk again, while others explored a different
forest”（于是，他们中的一些人又走了一次同样的路，而另一些人则探索了另一片不同的森
林）可知，前组的成员走的老路，后组的成员探索了新路；结合下一句“According to the
researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine (多巴胺)
system—setting up their brains for memorizing things. Thus, they scored higher.”（根据研究人员
的说法，这是因为探索新环境刺激了他们的多巴胺系统—建立他们的大脑来记忆东西。因此，
他们的得分更高。）可知，后组的成员在大脑记忆方面的测试得分更高，表现更好，与选项
E. The latter group performed better in memory tests straight after.（后一组在接下来的记忆测试
中表现更好。）句意相符，下一句是对选项 E的具体解释。故选 E。
39．根据下一句“But we may all be able to gain some of the benefits, even if it’s just by
stimulating our senses and challenging our thinking skills.”（但我们也许都能从中获益，即使只
是通过刺激我们的感官和挑战我们的思维能力。）中的“But”和“all”和句意可知，空处应
该是指某一部分人会从中获益，选项 G. Young minds seem to gain most from being in strange
surroundings.（年轻人似乎从陌生的环境中获益最多。）表达了这层含义，与下文衔接合理。
6
{#{QQABBQKEogCgQhAAAQgCEwEACgMQkAGCCKoOwBAIoAAAgANABAA=}#}
故选 G。
40．空处为段落主题句，根据最后两段可知，应该为祈使句，故答案选自 A或 B；根据下
一句“To warm yourself up for learning, picture a city you know well, but imagine you’re tapped
in a part of it that you’ve never visited.”（为了给自己的学习热身，想象一个你熟悉的城市，
但想象你身处其中一个你从未去过的地方。）可知，本段主要讲述要善于想象；选项A. Get lost
in your imagination.（沉浸在你的想象中。）与其语意相符，符合语境。故选 A。
