Stuck inside his room at an assisted living center, Bob Coleman knew he could not go out in public with the epidemic (疫). But he was not cut off from outside: he shared his love for country music over the Internet. “Hello, everybody. It’s a bright day in Tennessee,” he said into his microphone. “This is Bob Coleman, coming to you from Room3325…”. Then Coleman began to play the music he loves-hits from country music stars. The 88-year-old carefully chooses each song.
Coleman and several other retirees have turned into DJs (流行音乐播音员), for a new online radio hour known as “Radio Recliner.” A marketing company called Luckie came up with the idea of Radio Recliner. Listeners can send song requests in honor of family or friends. For example, listeners might hear a message like this: “Hey, Granny. This is your favorite granddaughter Amy. We just wanted to call in and say we love you.” The 60-minute show started with retirees in middle Tennessee. It has since expanded, with residents of assisted-living centers in other states taking part in the project. Many jumped at the chance to work as a DJ to ease the loneliness of social distancing rules.
Mitch Bennett serves as Luckie’s chief creative officer. He says the idea was to provide a sense of community to older people. “For this generation, radio was the original social media,” Bennett said, “Dedicating a song to someone you love and having them hear it along with everyone else is a special way of connecting.”
In Georgia, 80-year-old Ed Rosenblatt, who had made full preparations for his show, said an hour he spent playing songs on Radio Recliner resulted in a flood of text messages, emails and calls from family and friends, and many of the messages were from people he had not heard from for years.
4. What did Bob Coleman do during the epidemic
A. He organized a band at his living center. B. He earned money by singing on the radio.
C. He created new country music for friends. D. He shared country music hits over the Internet.
5. Why were retirees active to work for Radio Recliner
A. They wanted to get connected with the world.
B. They wanted to show their love for Tennessee.
C. They wanted to build more assisted-living centers.
D. They wanted to help others get in touch with their relatives.
6. Which of the following can best describe these old DJs
A. Optimistic and devoted. B. Humorous and active.
C. Lonely and pessimistic. D. Diligent and generous.
7. What’s the best title for the text
A. Older Adults Need More Care During the Epidemic
B. Older Adults, Stuck by the Epidemic, Turn Into DJs
C. Older Adults Were Busy With Music During the Epidemic
D. Older Adults, Stuck by the Epidemic, Show Music Talents
C
As anyone in mainland Britain who has ever attempted to grow berries or nuts or indeed feed the birds – will know, doing so is equal to an opening move in a game of chess with local grey squirrels, a game the squirrels tend to win. Grey squirrels are also fond of the occasional bird’s egg or the young bird, and enjoy tearing and eating the bark of young broad leaf trees, which can either kill the trees or leave them open to infection. This, apart from affecting biodiversity and landscape, harms the wood industry. The loss is not insignificant: 37 a year in England and walks.
Grey squirrels, introduced from North America in 1876, have almost replaced native red squirrels by competing them for food and habitat. They are larger and stronger, and resistant to squirrel pox virus, while reds are not. About 3 million grey squirrels now live in the UK; the International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the grey squirrel among the top 100 most harmful invasive (入侵的) species in the world.
In Britain, much effort and inventiveness has been made in stopping grey squirrel progress, from trapping and shooting them, to releasing pine mar tens into their habitats. The latest move, a workable system for which was thought to be a decade away, is forbidding the breeding (繁殖) of grey squirrels. However, legal challenge brought so many delays that the invasive grey squirrel population expanded to an unmanageable level and wiping out were abandoned. The main issue in Britain was thought to be more technological than legal designing a drug that targets only grey squirrels to prevent their breeding. Another possibility in the years ahead is to use DNA editing to ensure grey female are born unable to give birth.
Grey squirrels have now been here for nearly 150 years. They do actively threaten another species in Britain. There is a strong argument that ecosystems change. In fact, that is their essential nature, and it is unrealistic to stop it. The attraction of controlling the breeding methods of grey squirrels is that they are less inhumane, and aim for balance rather than uprooting.
8. What does the author focus on in paragraph 1
A. The harm from grey squirrels.
B. The eating habits of grey squirrels.
C. The effect of grey squirrels on industry.
D. The game between the British and grey squirrels.
9. What led to the victory of grey squirrels over reds
A. Their huge number. B. Their unique origins.
C. Their breeding ability. D. Their physical qualities.
10. What is the main difficulty in removing grey squirrels in Britain
A. Less labour. B. Shortage of money.
C. Imperfect law. D. Lack of technology.
11. What is the author’s attitude to forbidding the breeding of grey squirrels
A. Unclear. B. Objective.
C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
D
Winter may be seen as the time to fill up with comfort food, but in fact, the sunny summer months are when men eat more calories-unlike women. “The effect may occur because sunlight makes the skin release an appetite-stimulating hormone called ghrelin(饥饿激素),” says Carmit Levy at Tel Aviv University.
Levy and her team noticed the unexpected effect in experiments in mice that investigated mechanisms(机制)behind skin cancer, in which male animals exposed to UV light ate more food. To see if humans do the same, the researchers used existing data on 3,000 people who had filled in dietary questionnaires as part of the government’s regular national health and nutrition survey. Between March and September, men consumed about 17 percent more calories per day than they did during the rest of the year while women’s food intake stayed about the same.
Human appetite is influenced by many systems, but ghrelin seems to be the only hormone that directly stimulates eating. It was thought to be mainly secreted by the stomach when empty. “It tells the brain to eat more,” says Caroline Gorvin at the University of Birmingham.
Further investigation revealed that exposing male mice to UVB radiation raised levels of ghrelin secretion by fat cells in their skin. Boosted levels of ghrelin were also seen in skin samples that were taken from men and exposed to UV light in the lab. Gorvin says the skin hadn’t previously been thought to play a role in appetite. “If it’s real, it’s quite exciting and we should spare no efforts to get to the bottom,” she says.
It is unclear why the effect happens, but it may be an adaptive response to fuel greater physical activity in summer, says Gorvin. “As the largest organ of the body, it makes sense that the skin can sense the environment, sensing that there is UV now, that now is the time to go out.”
12. What can we learn about the effect from paragraph 1
A. Humans tend to eat more food in winter.
B. Our skin contains a hormone that makes us active.
C. Summer sunlight seems to boost men’s calorie intake.
D Women suffer loss of appetite because of summer heat.
13 What helped the team look into the effect on humans
A. Doing experiments in UV light. B. Analysing existing data offered.
C. Carrying out dietary questionnaires. D. Surveying national health condition.
14. What does the underlined word “secreted” mean in paragraph 3
A. Balanced. B. Influenced. C. Raised. D. Produced.
15. What can we learn from Gorvin’s words
A. The skin is a decisive factor in physical activities.
B. Exposure to UV light contributes to calorie burnup.
C. The role of the skin in appetite needs further research.
D. Higher food intake makes men gain weight in summer.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us or given us a gift. ___16___ And this positive emotion can be good for our emotional and physical health, as well as the health of our relationships.
One reason for this is that gratitude stops us from thinking about negative emotions. Writing a “thank you” letter, for example, shifts our attention so that we focus on positive emotions. Even if we don’t share our writing with anyone, the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life. And this gets better with time. As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the positive, after several weeks or months, this becomes more intuitive(直觉的). ___17___
___18___ Studies prove gratitude can improve sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced inflammation(炎症) in people who have had heart problems.
Gratitude is clearly good for us, but is it also good for the people in our lives ___19___ When shared, spoken or written gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too. Feeling valued can help build stronger relationships with family, partners, friends or even colleague. And that’s on top of all the other ways gratitude is clearly good for us.
Many studies show expressing gratitude benefits people a lot including the emotional, mental and physical health etc. ___20___ Let’s stop counting sheep or calorie and start counting our blessings instead.
A. So why not do so
B. The simple answer is “yes”
C. We should form good habits in our daily work.
D. Gratitude can also make us feel good in our bodies.
E. The more we express gratitude, the more positive we feel.
F. How to describe the relationship between gratitude and complaint
G. It’s a deeper appreciation for someone or something making us feel positive.

Stuck inside his room at an assisted living center, Bob Coleman knew he could not go out in public with the epidemic (疫). But he was not cut off from outside: he shared his love for country music over the Internet. “Hello, everybody. It’s a bright day in Tennessee,” he said into his microphone. “This is Bob Coleman, coming to you from Room3325…”. Then Coleman began to play the music he loves-hits from country music stars. The 88-year-old carefully chooses each song.
Coleman and several other retirees have turned into DJs (流行音乐播音员), for a new online radio hour known as “Radio Recliner.” A marketing company called Luckie came up with the idea of Radio Recliner. Listeners can send song requests in honor of family or friends. For example, listeners might hear a message like this: “Hey, Granny. This is your favorite granddaughter Amy. We just wanted to call in and say we love you.” The 60-minute show started with retirees in middle Tennessee. It has since expanded, with residents of assisted-living centers in other states taking part in the project. Many jumped at the chance to work as a DJ to ease the loneliness of social distancing rules.
Mitch Bennett serves as Luckie’s chief creative officer. He says the idea was to provide a sense of community to older people. “For this generation, radio was the original social media,” Bennett said, “Dedicating a song to someone you love and having them hear it along with everyone else is a special way of connecting.”
In Georgia, 80-year-old Ed Rosenblatt, who had made full preparations for his show, said an hour he spent playing songs on Radio Recliner resulted in a flood of text messages, emails and calls from family and friends, and many of the messages were from people he had not heard from for years.
4. What did Bob Coleman do during the epidemic
A. He organized a band at his living center. B. He earned money by singing on the radio.
C. He created new country music for friends. D. He shared country music hits over the Internet.
5. Why were retirees active to work for Radio Recliner
A. They wanted to get connected with the world.
B. They wanted to show their love for Tennessee.
C. They wanted to build more assisted-living centers.
D. They wanted to help others get in touch with their relatives.
6. Which of the following can best describe these old DJs
A. Optimistic and devoted. B. Humorous and active.
C. Lonely and pessimistic. D. Diligent and generous.
7. What’s the best title for the text
A. Older Adults Need More Care During the Epidemic

As anyone in mainland Britain who has ever attempted to grow berries or nuts or indeed feed the birds – will know, doing so is equal to an opening move in a game of chess with local grey squirrels, a game the squirrels tend to win. Grey squirrels are also fond of the occasional bird’s egg or the young bird, and enjoy tearing and eating the bark of young broad leaf trees, which can either kill the trees or leave them open to infection. This, apart from affecting biodiversity and landscape, harms the wood industry. The loss is not insignificant: 37 a year in England and walks.
Grey squirrels, introduced from North America in 1876, have almost replaced native red squirrels by competing them for food and habitat. They are larger and stronger, and resistant to squirrel pox virus, while reds are not. About 3 million grey squirrels now live in the UK; the International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the grey squirrel among the top 100 most harmful invasive (入侵的) species in the world.
In Britain, much effort and inventiveness has been made in stopping grey squirrel progress, from trapping and shooting them, to releasing pine mar tens into their habitats. The latest move, a workable system for which was thought to be a decade away, is forbidding the breeding (繁殖) of grey squirrels. However, legal challenge brought so many delays that the invasive grey squirrel population expanded to an unmanageable level and wiping out were abandoned. The main issue in Britain was thought to be more technological than legal designing a drug that targets only grey squirrels to prevent their breeding. Another possibility in the years ahead is to use DNA editing to ensure grey female are born unable to give birth.
Grey squirrels have now been here for nearly 150 years. They do actively threaten another species in Britain. There is a strong argument that ecosystems change. In fact, that is their essential nature, and it is unrealistic to stop it. The attraction of controlling the breeding methods of grey squirrels is that they are less inhumane, and aim for balance rather than uprooting.
8. What does the author focus on in paragraph 1
A. The harm from grey squirrels.
B. The eating habits of grey squirrels.
C. The effect of grey squirrels on industry.
D. The game between the British and grey squirrels.
9. What led to the victory of grey squirrels over reds
A. Their huge number. B. Their unique origins.
C. Their breeding ability. D. Their physical qualities.
10. What is the main difficulty in removing grey squirrels in Britain
A. Less labour. B. Shortage of money.
C. Imperfect law. D. Lack of technology.
11. What is the author’s attitude to forbidding the breeding of grey squirrels
A. Unclear. B. Objective.
C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. C

Winter may be seen as the time to fill up with comfort food, but in fact, the sunny summer months are when men eat more calories-unlike women. “The effect may occur because sunlight makes the skin release an appetite-stimulating hormone called ghrelin(饥饿激素),” says Carmit Levy at Tel Aviv University.
Levy and her team noticed the unexpected effect in experiments in mice that investigated mechanisms(机制)behind skin cancer, in which male animals exposed to UV light ate more food. To see if humans do the same, the researchers used existing data on 3,000 people who had filled in dietary questionnaires as part of the government’s regular national health and nutrition survey. Between March and September, men consumed about 17 percent more calories per day than they did during the rest of the year while women’s food intake stayed about the same.
Human appetite is influenced by many systems, but ghrelin seems to be the only hormone that directly stimulates eating. It was thought to be mainly secreted by the stomach when empty. “It tells the brain to eat more,” says Caroline Gorvin at the University of Birmingham.
Further investigation revealed that exposing male mice to UVB radiation raised levels of ghrelin secretion by fat cells in their skin. Boosted levels of ghrelin were also seen in skin samples that were taken from men and exposed to UV light in the lab. Gorvin says the skin hadn’t previously been thought to play a role in appetite. “If it’s real, it’s quite exciting and we should spare no efforts to get to the bottom,” she says.
It is unclear why the effect happens, but it may be an adaptive response to fuel greater physical activity in summer, says Gorvin. “As the largest organ of the body, it makes sense that the skin can sense the environment, sensing that there is UV now, that now is the time to go out.”
12. What can we learn about the effect from paragraph 1
A Humans tend to eat more food in winter.
B. Our skin contains a hormone that makes us active.
C. Summer sunlight seems to boost men’s calorie intake.
D. Women suffer loss of appetite because of summer heat.
13. What helped the team look into the effect on humans
A. Doing experiments in UV light. B. Analysing existing data offered.
C. Carrying out dietary questionnaires. D. Surveying national health condition.
14. What does the underlined word “secreted” mean in paragraph 3
A. Balanced. B. Influenced. C. Raised. D. Produced.
15. What can we learn from Gorvin’s words
A. The skin is a decisive factor in physical activities.
B. Exposure to UV light contributes to calorie burnup.
C. The role of the skin in appetite needs further research.
D. Higher food intake makes men gain weight in summer.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是阳光明媚的夏天是男人摄入更多卡路里的时候。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“in fact, the sunny summer months are when men eat more calories-unlike women. “The effect may occur because sunlight makes the skin release an appetite-stimulating hormone called ghrelin ,” says Carmit Levy at Tel Aviv University.(事实上，阳光明媚的夏天是男人摄入更多卡路里的时候——不像女人。特拉维夫大学的卡米特·列维说:“这种效果的产生可能是因为阳光使皮肤释放一种刺激食欲的激素——胃饥饿素。”)”可知，夏日的阳光似乎能增加男性的卡路里摄入量。故选C。
13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“To see if humans do the same, the researchers used existing data on 3,000 people who had filled in dietary questionnaires as part of the government’s regular national health and nutrition survey.(为了看看人类是否也会这样做，研究人员使用了3000人的现有数据，这些人填写了饮食调查问卷，这是政府定期进行的全国健康和营养调查的一部分。)”可知，帮助研究小组研究了它对人类的影响的是分析现有数据。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段的“ghrelin seems to be the only hormone that directly stimulates eating(胃饥饿素似乎是唯一直接刺激进食的激素)”和“by the stomach when empty(被空的胃)”可知，划线词所在句表示“它被认为主要是胃空时分泌的”，划线词的意思是“产生”，和produced意思相近，故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“It is unclear why the effect happens, but it may be an adaptive response to fuel greater physical activity in summer, says Gorvin.(高文说，目前还不清楚这种效应发生的原因，但它可能是一种适应反应，为夏季更多的体育活动提供燃料。)”可知，皮肤对食欲的作用还需要进一步研究。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us or given us a gift. ___16___ And this positive emotion can be good for our emotional and physical health, as well as the health of our relationships.
One reason for this is that gratitude stops us from thinking about negative emotions. Writing a “thank you” letter, for example, shifts our attention so that we focus on positive emotions. Even if we don’t share our writing with anyone, the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life. And this gets better with time. As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the positive, after several weeks or months, this becomes more intuitive(直觉的). ___17___
___18___ Studies prove gratitude can improve sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced inflammation(炎症) in people who have had heart problems.
Gratitude is clearly good for us, but is it also good for the people in our lives ___19___ When shared, spoken or written gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too. Feeling valued can help build stronger relationships with family, partners, friends or even colleague. And that’s on top of all the other ways gratitude is clearly good for us.
Many studies show expressing gratitude benefits people a lot including the emotional, mental and physical health etc. ___20___ Let’s stop counting sheep or calorie and start counting our blessings instead.
A. So why not do so
B. The simple answer is “yes”
C. We should form good habits in our daily work.
D. Gratitude can also make us feel good in our bodies.
E. The more we express gratitude, the more positive we feel.
F. How to describe the relationship between gratitude and complaint
G. It’s a deeper appreciation for someone or something making us feel positive.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. D 19. B 20. A

上文“Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us or given us a gift.(感恩不仅仅是对帮助过我们或送过我们礼物的人说声“谢谢”)”说明对于“感谢”作者认为还别有深意。下文“And this positive emotion can be good for our emotional and physical health, as well as the health of our relationships.(这种积极的情绪对我们的心理和身体健康都有好处，对我们的人际关系也有好处)”提到this positive emotion，指的是上文的gratitude。由此可知，空处解释感恩的深层含义，并且将其称之为一种积极的情绪。G项“感恩是使我们对一些人或事更深层次的感激，并且这使我们感到更积极向上。”符合文意。故选G。
【17题详解】
上文“And this gets better with time. As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the positive, after several weeks or months, this becomes more intuitive(直觉的).(随着时间的推移，情况会越来越好。因为我们基本上是在训练我们的大脑更容易注意到积极的事情，几周或几个月后，这就变得更加直观了)”说明自己平时的想法越积极、越对身边的人和事感到感恩，随着时间的推移，我们自己对生活的态度也会越积极。E项“我们感恩的越多，我们就越积极向上”符合文意。故选E。
【18题详解】
空处为本段主旨句。下文“Studies prove gratitude can improve sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced inflammation(炎症) in people who have had heart problems.(研究证明，感恩可以改善有心脏问题的人的睡眠质量，改善饮食习惯，减少炎症)”提到感恩对身体各项机能的好处。由此可知，空处用于总起表示感恩对身体有好处。D项“感恩也能让我们的身体感觉良好”符合文意。故选D。
【19题详解】
上文“Gratitude is clearly good for us, but is it also good for the people in our lives (感恩显然对我们有好处，但它对我们生活中的人也有好处吗？)”对感恩对身边的人是否有好处提出疑问。下文“When shared, spoken or written gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too. Feeling valued can help build stronger relationships with family, partners, friends or even colleague. And that’s on top of all the other ways gratitude is clearly good for us.(当你分享、说或写感激时，你会感到自己被重视，也会帮助别人感到被重视。感觉被重视有助于与家人、伴侣、朋友甚至同事建立更牢固的关系。这显然是感恩对我们有好处的最重要的方面)”对前文的问题进行肯定的回答并举例进行了具体说明。由此可知，空处用于承上启下，对作者的提问进行肯定的回答。B项“答案很简单，“有好处”。”符合文意。故选B。
【20题详解】
上文“Many studies show expressing gratitude benefits people a lot including the emotional, mental and physical health etc.(许多研究表明，表达感激之情对人们的情感、心理和身体健康等都有好处)”对上文提到的感恩的好处进行总结。下文“Let’s stop counting sheep or calorie and start counting our blessings instead.(让我们停止数羊或计算卡路里，开始计算我们得到的祝福吧)”呼吁大家开始怀抱感恩之心。A项“那为什么不这么做呢？”符合文意。故选A。
