1．—Have you listened to ________ weather forecast, Linda?
—Yes. It says that there will be ________ heavy rain this weekend.
A．the; the B．a; the
C．the; a D．a; a
解析：选C　考查冠词。句意：“琳达，你听了天气预报了吗？”“是的，预报说本周末会有一场大雨。”第一空表示特指，用定冠词the；第二空a heavy rain表示“一场大雨”。
2．(2019·常熟质检)Perhaps it was just the number that she had chosen ________ brought her the good luck.
A．that B．which
C．when D．where
解析：选A　考查强调句。句意：可能正是她选的那个号码给她带来了好运。分析句子结构可知，此处为“It is/was＋被强调部分＋who/that从句”的强调句型，被强调部分为主语“just the number that she had chosen”，表物，故用that。
3．—Has he found a job yet?
—No. Employers won't offer him a job ________ he was once in prison.
A．although B．because
C．unless D．as long as
解析：选B　考查状语从句。答句句意：没有，因为他曾经坐过牢，雇主们都不愿意雇用他。根据句意可知，此处应用because引导原因状语从句。
4．Children, if well ________， are not likely to make any trouble in public places.
A．having educated B．educating
C．to be educated D．educated
解析：选D　句意：如果受到良好的教育，孩子不可能在公共场所惹麻烦。句子主语Children和educate之间是被动关系，此处省略了相同的主语和be动词，是“if＋过去分词”作条件状语，根据句意可知答案为D。
5．What makes me angry is that Michael has delayed ________ the bike to me till today.
A．returning B．to return
C．to have returned D．being returned
解析：选A　句意：使我生气的是迈克尔推迟到今天才把自行车还给我。delay后跟动名词，不跟不定式，且句子主语和return之间为主动关系，故选择动名词的主动式。
6．Under no circumstances ________ take part in any discussion that attempts to change your mind through flattery (恭维)．
A．you should B．should you
C．would you D．you would
解析：选B　考查倒装句。句意：在任何情况下，你都不应该参加任何企图通过恭维你而改变你想法的讨论。under no circumstances相当于in no case/by no means/in no way/on no account/never，置于句首时，句子要部分倒装，且此处表示“应该”之意，故B项符合语境。
7．Many young people, most ________ were welleducated, headed for remote regions to chase their dreams.
A．of which B．of them
C．of whom D．of those
解析：选C　句意：很多年轻人去偏远地区追逐他们的梦想，其中多数人受过良好的教育。分析句子成分可知，Many young people为先行词，从句中缺少主语，结合句意可知选of whom。

C．are going to inspect D．are about to be inspected

11．Statistics show that men have ________ as women do whatever vehicles they drive.
A．twice serious accidents as many
B．serious accidents as many twice
C．serious accidents as twice many
D．twice as many serious accidents
解析：选D　句意：数据表明，不管驾驶什么车，男性出现严重事故的概率是女性的两倍。根据比较状语从句中的倍数表达：倍数＋as(＋形容词)＋名词＋as，可知D项正确。

C．to finish D．finishing
解析：选C　句意：有太多的数学作业要做，他决定放弃英语阅读。with＋宾语＋to do sth.表示将要发生的事情，故答案为C。
13．Strangely, Mr. Green, also ________ to the new policy, made no remark in the discussion.
A．opposing B．opposes
C．opposed D．having opposed
解析：选C　考查非谓语动词。句意：令人奇怪的是，格林先生在讨论中没作任何评论，他也是反对这项新政策的。句子中间部分为非限制性定语，相当于定语从句who was also opposed to the new policy。
14．Mr.Black, as well as his wife and children，________ invited to the dinner party last night.
A．was B．were
C．has been D．have been
解析：选A　当as well as 连接两个并列主语时，谓语动词应与前面的主语(Mr.Black)保持一致。根据句中表示过去的时间状语last night 可知，应选A项。

Ⅲ.任务型阅读
Emotions are “the glue” that connects people to one another. They are the foundation of your ability to understand yourself and relate to others. When you are aware of your emotions, you can manage stress and communicate well with others. Without emotions and awareness of them, it's impossible to build or maintain strong, healthy relationships. The more aware you are of your own emotions, the easier it will be for you to pick up on what others are feeling and accurately read their wants and needs.
Although emotional awareness is so important, many people remain relatively unaware of their main emotional experience. In order to know your level of emotional awareness, ask yourself the following questions. If you answer no, you may need to work on raising your emotional awareness — Can you tolerate strong feelings, such as anger and sadness? Do you feel your emotions in your body? Are you comfortable with all of your emotions? Do you pay attention to your emotions and avoid them guiding your decisions?
Raising your emotional awareness begins with managing stress. The ability to quickly reduce stress allows you to safely face strong emotions, regulate your feelings and behave properly. Also, the process of raising emotional awareness involves reconnecting with all of the main emotions, including anger, sadness, fear, disgust, surprise, and joy. So get back in touch with your emotions and feelings. Another key to raising emotional awareness is practice. Like building muscles in a gym, you wouldn't expect to be a bodybuilder after just five minutes. The more consistently you practice, the greater changes you'll experience in what you feel, think, and do.
We are all born with a capacity to freely experience the full range of human emotions — joy, anger, sadness, and fear. Yet many people are trying to avoid them rather than experience them. If you avoid emotions, you will lose the good ones, along with the bad ones. Either you feel your emotions or you don't. When you shut down negative feelings like anger, fear, or sadness, you also shut down your ability to experience positive feelings such as joy, love, and happiness. You can change or turn a blind eye to your emotions, but you can't get rid of them entirely. Moreover, it will totally wear you out, because avoiding emotional experiences usually takes a lot of energy. What's more, it damages your relationships. The more you distance yourself from your feelings, the more distant you become from others. You lose the ability to build strong relationships and communicate effectively, both of which depend on being in touch with your emotions.

(2020届高三·宿迁调研)The most important determining factor of success or failure — at work and in life — is selfawareness, the ability to understand who we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world.
For millions of years, the ancestors of humans evolved painfully slowly. However, about 150,000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where，among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviours, as well as to see things from another's point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive.
Though we may not face the same daytoday threats to our existence, selfawareness is no less critical. There is strong scientific evidence that people who know themselves and how others see them are happier. They are smarter, superior students. They raise more mature children. They also tend to be more creative, confident and less aggressive.
But for most people it is easier to choose selfdelusion (自我欺瞒) rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly “me” focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown up in a world obsessed with selfesteem (自负), constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed (有缺陷), but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilities — from leadership skills to achievements at school and work. What's scary is that the least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.
How can we avoid this fate? We must work on two specific types of insight. Internal selfawareness is an inward understanding of our passions and aspirations, strengths and weaknesses and so on. And external selfawareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.
It would be easy to assume that someone with internal selfawareness would also be externally aware — that being in touch with our feelings and emotions helps us tune into how we're seen. Strangely, research has often shown no relationship between the two — some studies have even revealed an inverse (相反的) one.
For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that selfexamination can have hidden pitfalls (陷阱) that make insight actually impossible.
语篇解读：文章讲述了在现在这个以自我为中心的世界，人们很难客观合理地评价自己。所以，只有清楚地知道别人对自己的评价，才能正确地认知自己。

A．the intelligence gap between modern men and their ancestors

They are one of the best rugby teams in the world. The players of the All Blacks, New Zealand's national rugby team, are strong, smart and fast. But, in fact, they win many of their games before the first whistle even blows.
Before the game, during warmups, the All Blacks players gather in a semicircle. They stand with their captain in front of them and begin to dance. They hit their arms against their legs. They lift their feet into the air and slam them into the ground. They stick out their tongues and show the whites of their eyes. They shout ancient words and even scream. You may think they're crazy. And that is just what they want you to think.
The rugby players perform the haka, which is a traditional Maori (毛利人) dance. The Maoris are the native people of New Zealand and this dance has been used as a war dance since the 19th century.
Warriors originally performed the war dance before battles to show off their strength in order to intimidate the enemy. Rugby is a violent game that many fans have compared to war. What better way is there to get excited before the game than doing a war dance?
The 19th century French theorist Ernest Renan, one of the first real theorists who looked into the idea of nationalism, described the “nation” as “largescale togetherness, made up of the feeling of sacrifices that one has made in the past and of those that one is prepared to make in the future”．
And New Zealand's haka is one of the world's most perfect acts of nationalism. “The haka, in its intensity, reflects it all: first, the solidarity (团结) of warriors — both of Maoris and nonMaoris backgrounds — fighting for a common future. And then a recognition of the almost sacred past，” The Washington Post noted.
Today in New Zealand, the haka is still performed at many different gatherings and celebrations, a connection to Maori ancestors that has continued despite colonization.
语篇解读：本文主要介绍了新西兰的haka，一种能够展示力量并团结新西兰人的传统舞蹈。
6．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Maori people, native New Zealanders.
B．The popularity of rugby in New Zealand.
C．A traditional dance goes on today in New Zealand.
D．The magic of warmups before rugby matches in New Zealand.
解析：选C　主旨大意题。根据关键词haka可知，本文主要介绍了新西兰的传统舞蹈haka。
7．The underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．threaten B．dissatisfy
C．amaze D．revenge
解析：选A　词义猜测题。结合画线单词前后的“show off their strength”和“enemy”可推知，intimidate意为“恐吓，威胁”。故选A。
8．Why do the All Blacks players perform the haka before a rugby match starts?
A．Because they are crazy.
B．Because they want to please their fans.
C．Because it can let them be in high spirits.
D．Because it is a tradition passed from their ancestors.
解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第四段的“What better way is there to get excited before the game than doing a war dance？”可推知，新西兰橄榄球队热身时跳haka是为了鼓舞士气。
9．What can we learn about the haka from the passage?
A．The haka is only performed before rugby matches in New Zealand.
B．The haka is a good way to show nationalism in New Zealand.
C．The haka is a symbol of fighting in the past and future.
D．The haka has helped the New Zealand's national rugby team win at all times.
解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第六段的“And New Zealand's haka is one of the world's most perfect acts of nationalism ... fighting for a common future.”可推知，haka这种舞充分展现了新西兰的民族精神。

(2019·南通、泰州模拟)Michael Herr, who has died aged 76, was the author of Dispatches (1977), the best book about the Vietnam war. Herr also made vital contributions to two of the best films on the war, Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket.
It took Herr eight years to write Dispatches, in part because he went home from Saigon with a bad case of stress disorder. He had gone to Vietnam as a correspondent for Esquire magazine. An American general asked him whether he was there to write about military fashion, and another whether he was there to write humour. No, he told them. He wrote little for Esquire, but took advantage of the US government's decision to allow correspondents extraordinary access to go to war with the soldiers. He shared their discomforts and their fears, witnessed their death and recorded their language.
His own language, a stream of consciousness pulsing with energy, but masterfully controlled, captured the fear and the horror, but also the excitement, of the war in the jungle and paddy fields. “So much beauty，” he recalled, “and so much pleasure.” He recorded with a connoisseur's expertise (行家专长) such details as the many ways in which soldiers would wish each other good luck, and the degrees of madness that were considered acceptable.
He identified with the young soldiers and learned in the first few days that you could not affect neutrality (中立). “If_you_are_neutral,_you_don't_get_it，” said he. He generally did not carry a weapon, though on occasion he did fire at Vietnamese in emergencies. “The young soldiers，” he said, “are my guns.”
The power of the book, perhaps, comes from Herr's insistence on describing the war, or more precisely his own responses to it, rather than protesting against it. It also comes from the ceaseless accompaniment of two elements, drugs and music — more particularly rock music, and especially the music of Jimi Hendrix. Herr himself spent drugfuelled weekends in a flat in Saigon, staring at an ancient French map of Indochina, and he never caught a helicopter without a Hendrix record.
He met soldiers with a left pocket full of Dexedrine, the “upper” officially administered by the army to get them into battle, and a right pocket full of “downers” to get them through it. Dispatches did not come out until 1977, when the country was beginning to have its mind on other problems, but it did more, perhaps, than any other book to freeze an image of despair and a sense of waste about the war, rather as the trench poets of 1914－1918 did in Britain.
Herr also made vital contributions to two of the most influential Vietnam films. He wrote Martin Sheen's voiceover for Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now and later wrote the screenplay for Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. His work, in the book and the two films, has been seen as part of the process whereby the US came to see itself and its history no longer merely through traditional literature, but in sounds and images, in ways that prefigured (预示) the Internet.
In 1980 Herr moved to London, where he stayed until he moved back to the US in 1991. It was there that he met Stanley Kubrick, who became a close friend, though Herr warned against doing business with him. Herr wrote Kubrick's biography, but he wrote surprisingly little else after Dispatches.
