【題目】 Online shopping has become more and more popular these years. Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.

For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2019 holiday season 59 percent of those shopping online were women.

“It shows how popular the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.

Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages 19 and 29 were responsible for some of the surprising increase in the online gift buying population this time around.

However, three-quarter of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2019. They worried about credit card security (信用卡安全), or just compared online prices with offline prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.

“But even if shoppers don't buy online, websites are becoming promotion (促銷) tools for stores,” said Dan Hess, vice president of Com Score Network Inc. Hess said that actually most stores' websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.

“It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient (效率高的), more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.

【1】What can we know from the passage?

A.There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2019.

B.More women shopped online than men in 2019.

C.Most of the Internet users between the ages 19 and 29 were women.

D.People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.

【2】What does the underlined part “dashed off” probably mean?

A.Turned.B.Put off.

C.Hurried.D.Take off.

【3】According to Dan Hess, shopping online is ________.

A.unsafeB.convenient

C.a waste of moneyD.cheaper

【4】Where does the passage probably come from?

A.an introduction textbookB.a news coverage

C.an essay collectionD.brochure

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文。美國上周公布的一項研究顯示，在利用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)進(jìn)行假日購物方面，女性首次超過了男性�，F(xiàn)在網(wǎng)上購物的主流變成了女性為主，文章分析了原因，因為女性是家里購物的做決定的人。同時也告訴我們網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物人群有年輕化的趨勢。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2019 holiday season 59 percent of those shopping online were women.可知，多年來，男性比女性更喜歡在網(wǎng)上購物，但在2019年的假日季，網(wǎng)上購物的59%是女性。由此可知，2019年美國在網(wǎng)上購物的女性超過了男性。故選B。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上文However, three-quarter of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2019. They worried about credit card security, or just compared online prices with offline prices可知，2019年美國四分之三的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)用戶不在網(wǎng)上購買節(jié)日禮物，他們擔(dān)憂信用卡的安全，或者只是比較網(wǎng)上的價格與線下的價格。由此可知：經(jīng)過比較之后，這些用戶匆忙（hurried）去商店購買便宜貨。故可知劃線短語意思為“匆忙”。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient (效率高的), more reliable and more comfortable.可知，這一切都是為了讓購物體驗更高效、更可靠、更舒適。由此可推知，Hess認(rèn)為網(wǎng)上購物是方便的。故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.可知，美國上周公布的一項研究顯示，在利用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)進(jìn)行假日購物方面，女性首次超過了男性�，F(xiàn)在網(wǎng)上購物的主流變成了女性為主，文章分析了原因，因為女性是家里購物的做決定的人。同時也告訴我們網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物人群有年輕化的趨勢。由此可推知，文章最有可能來自新聞報道。故選B。

文章出處類推理判斷題。做這類題重要的是要抓住文章的內(nèi)容或結(jié)構(gòu)特征，這是推理判斷的前提和基礎(chǔ)。如報紙，前面會出現(xiàn)日期、地點、通訊社名稱等；廣告，其格式特殊，容易辨認(rèn)；產(chǎn)品說明、器皿設(shè)備的使用說明有產(chǎn)品名稱或操作方法，而藥品的服用說明會告知服用時間、次數(shù)和藥量等。如第四小題，根據(jù)第一段中Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.可知，美國上周公布的一項研究顯示，在利用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)進(jìn)行假日購物方面，女性首次超過了男性�，F(xiàn)在網(wǎng)上購物的主流變成了女性為主，文章分析了原因，因為女性是家里購物的做決定的人。同時也告訴我們網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物人群有年輕化的趨勢。由此可推知，文章最有可能來自新聞報道。故選B。

【題目】Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Einstein's Opinions on Creative Thinking

“The greatest scientists are artists as well,” said Albert Einstein, one of the greatest physicists and an amateur pianist and violinist.

For Einstein, insight did not come from logic or mathematics. 【1】 As he told one friend, “When I examine myself and my methods of thought. I find that the gift of imagination has meant more to me than any talent for absorbing absolute knowledge. All great achievements of science must start from intuitive knowledge. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

But how did art differ from science for Einstein? Surprisingly, it wasn't the content of an idea, or its subject, that determined whether something was art or science, but how the idea was expressed. If what is seen and experienced is described in the language of logic, then it is science. If it is communicated and recognized intuitively, then it is art. 【2】 That's why he said that great scientists were also artists. Einstein first described his intuitive thought processes at a physics conference in Kyoto in 1922 when he indicated that he used images and feelings to solve his problems and found words, logical symbols or mathematical equations later.

【3】 “If I were not a physicist,” he once said, “I would probably be a musician. I often think in music and I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of music. Whenever I feel that I have come to the end of the road or into a difficult situation in my work. I would bury myself in music, and that would usually solve all my difficulties.”

Music provided Einstein with a connection between time and space which both combine spatial and structural aspects. “The theory of relativity occurred to me my intuition and music is the driving force behind this intuition”, said Einstein. “My parents had me study the violin from the time I was six. 【4】.”

A.There is no doubt that my theory was a great breakthrough then.

B.Instead, it came from intuition and inspiration

C.For Einstein, it was the humanities that mainly contributed to his achieve-ments.

D.Einstein also owed his scientific insight and intuition mainly to music.

E.My new discovery is the result of musical perception.

F.Einstein himself worked intuitively and expressed himself logically.

【題目】 Atlantic puffins (海雀) spend most of their life at sea. When it's time to lay eggs, the birds gather on seaside cliffs. They dig into the ground to build nests. After a chick was born, it spends six weeks in the nest, feasting on fish supplied by its parents. Then the young bird must look after itself. It leaves the nest and flies to the sea.

But on Heimaey, an island off the coast of Iceland, human-made objects have disrupted the chicks’ trip to the ocean. Luckily, they are getting help from the children of Heimaey.

Instinct tells chicks to follow the light of the moon to the sea, but they are confused by Heimaey’s bright lights. Each year, a large number of them end up lost, or worse. Often, the birds are hit by cars or caught and eaten by cats.

Each breeding season, the children of Heimaey form search parties. They carry flashlights and cardboard boxes. “When you see a bird, you try to corner it and herd it into the box,” said Eldur Hansen. Eldur is 14 and he has caught several puffins this way. Each year, they rescue thousands of chicks. Children take rescued birds home. The next morning, they take them to the beach for release.

Before releasing the chicks, the children make a stop at the local aquarium, where the birds are weighed and tagged for tracking purposes. This helps scientists learn more about puffins.

Atlantic puffins are now listed as a rare species. That means they are likely to become endangered. The main reason is that the ocean’s supply of small fish is diminishing. This is tied to overfishing and rising ocean temperatures.

Erpur Hansen, Eldur Hansen’s dad, is with the South Iceland Nature Research Center. He said the children’s action was more important than ever. Thanks to data gathered with the children’s help, researchers have learned that chicks now weigh less than in previous years. That means they have a lower chance of survival. Researchers worry that puffins will die out if ocean temperatures continue to rise, but the children’s rescue inspires them.

【1】What will a mother puffin do after a chick was born?

A.Catch fish to feed the chick.B.Stay in the nest for six weeks.

C.Leave the nest and fly to the sea alone.D.Lead the chick back to the sea at once.

【2】What may disturb the chicks’ sense of direction on their way to the sea?

A.The cars.B.The children.C.The animals.D.The lights.

【3】What does the underlined word “diminishing” in Paragraph 6 mean?

A.Changing.B.Decreasing.C.Accumulating.D.Abandoning.

【4】How do the researchers compare the chicks’ weight?

A.Getting information from the library.B.Researching the colors of the chicks.

C.Studying the data collected by the children.D.Weighing the chicks adopted at the local aquarium.
