Prince Diana was known for her habit many people today don’t pay attention to, but a new study shows you might want to reconsider.
While performing her royal duties as the Princess of Wales, Diana made time to write thank-you letters. In the book Diana: Her True Story, the author Andrew Morton wrote about Diana’s determination to send thank-you cards, noting that after her royal wedding to Prince Charles in 1981 she “sat down and answered many of the 47.000 letters of congratulation and 10,000 gifts which the wedding generated (产生) ” , with the help of extra staff.
It turned out that Diana understood the significance (意义) of a thank-you card much more than others do. According to a recent study, many people underestimate (低估) the value of a thank-you letter and how much happiness the recipient (接受者) will get from it.
The author of Modern Etiquette (礼仪) for a Better Life, notes that what stands out about a thank-you note compared with a text or email is the time that goes into the act. “It is a special touch,” she said. “It’s going above and beyond what is generally expected because it means that you’ve taken some extra step.”
If you’re now feeling like sending a thank-you card to someone for a gift, for a favor or simply for their time, we have a few suggestions. Jacqueline Whitmore, an etiquette expert says that you shouldn’t be discouraged if you are a bit delayed (延迟) in sending out a note of appreciation.
“A late thank-you note is better than none at all,” she said. Also, a tone that’s warm and friendly along with personal stationery (信纸) for more of a signature look should be included.
It won’t be from Kensington Palace, but it will still have an original touch.
4. Why do many people pay no attention to sending thank-you letters
A. Because they think it hard to do so.
B. Because they are not from royal families
C. Because they attach less value to a thank-you letter.
D. Because they have no congratulation letters to answer.
5. What does the author mainly want to express in Para. 4
A. The process of writing a thank-you letter.
B. The difficulty in writing a thank-you letter.
C. The similarity of a thank-you letter to that of a text or email
D. The difference between a thank-you letter and a text or email.
6. What is Jacqueline Whitmore’s suggestion about a thank-you letter
A. Posting the letter with a gift.
B. Sending the letter at a later time.
C. Using a tone that’s warm and friendly.
D. Stopping sending the letter when it is too late.
7 What does the author think of Princess Diana’s habit of sending thank-you letters
A. Unbelievable. B. Doubtful.
C. Interesting. D. Admirable.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. D

There have been numerous wake-up calls about the effects of climate change on sea life. As ocean waters heat up, they are making coral lose color. Growing levels of carbon dioxide are making seawater more acidic. Now climate change is starting to affect fish's sense of smell, a phenomenon that will worsen in the coming years if global warming continues growing.
A sense of smell is what the fish can't do without. They use it to find food, detect upcoming danger, escape from predators (捕食者）find safe environments, and even recognize one another. "Future levels of carbon dioxide can have large negative effects on the sense of smell of fish, which can affect fish population numbers and the entire ecosystem, ”said an ocean life expert. "This can be prevented, but we must reduce carbon emissions now before it's too late.”
Experts believe that about half of carbon dioxide emissions produced by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels--have over time ended up in the oceans, lowering the pH of seawater, and making it more acidic.
Researchers found that sea bass (鲈鱼）exposed to the more acidic conditions swam less and were less likely to react when encountering the smell of a predator. Also, they were more likely to "freeze", a sign of anxiety, according to the study. They found the longer the fish were in high CO2,the worse they got along. The researchers also measured the ability of the fish to detect certain odors (气味）in different levels of acidity (酸度）。 The study showed that their ability to detect and respond to some odors connected with food and threatening situations was more strongly affected than other odors.
The research is important because 20 percent of the protein consumed by 3 million people comes from seafood, and about 50 percent of this comes from fish caught from the wild. “Therefore, increases in carbon dioxide in the ocean have the potential to affect all fish species, including those that many people rely on food and livelihood, "the ocean life expert warned.
8. What do we know from the first paragraph
A. Global warming will continue in the coming years.
B. Global warming is starting to affect fish's sense of smell.
C. The temperature of seawater is rising to a dangerous level.
D. Few people are worried about the impact of climate change.
9. Why does the author attach great importance to the sense of smell of fish
A. It can affect the survival of fish.
B. Fish can stay safe with their sense of smell.
C. Fish rely on their sense of smell to find food.
D. Fish can find each other by their sharp noses.
10. Why does the author mention human activities in the text
A. He wants to blame human beings for global warming.
B. He wants to criticize human beings for overuse of fossil fuels.
C. He concludes that human activities can destroy the sense of smell of fish.
D. He concludes that human activities can improve the ecosystem of the ocean.
11. What is the author's attitude toward the future of fish industry
A. Satisfied. B. Enthusiastic. C. Disappointed. D. Concerned.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人类活动对于海洋鱼类的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Now climate change is starting to affect fish's sense of smell, a phenomenon that will worsen in the coming years if global warming continues growing.（现在，气候变化开始影响鱼类的嗅觉，如果全球变暖继续加剧，这种现象将在未来几年恶化。）”可知，全球气候变暖已经对鱼类的嗅觉产生了影响。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Future levels of carbon dioxide can have large negative effects on the sense of smell of fish, which can affect fish population numbers and the entire ecosystem（未来的二氧化碳水平会对鱼的嗅觉产生巨大的负面影响，这可能会影响鱼的数量和整个生态系统）”可知，鱼的嗅觉和鱼的数量有直接关系，也就是会影响鱼的生存，故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“This can be prevented, but we must reduce carbon emissions now before it's too late.（这是可以避免的，但我们必须现在就减少碳排放，以免为时过晚。）”可知，我们可以通过减少碳排放的途径来减少对鱼类嗅觉的负面影响，再根据第三段中的“…about half of carbon dioxide emissions produced by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels-have over time ended up in the oceans, lowing the pH of seawater, and making it more acidic（人类活动产生的二氧化碳排放，如燃烧化石燃料，随着时间的推移，约有一半进入了海洋，降低了海水的pH值，使其酸性增强。）”可知，被排放到海洋中的二氧化碳大部分都是由于人类活动产生的。可见，踢到人类活动是为了证明人类的活动影响了鱼类的嗅觉。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“increases in carbon dioxide in the ocean have the potential to affect all fish species, including those that many people rely on food and livelihood（海洋中二氧化碳含量的增加有可能影响所有鱼类，包括那些许多人赖以为生的鱼类）”可知，作者对于未来渔业的发展持担忧态度，故选D项。

China’s ambassador to the United Kingdom said the decision to remove the Chinese technology company Huawei from Britain’s 5G infrastructure (基础设施) was a “dark day for the United Kingdom”, and could be a missed opportunity for the UK to lead in the sector.
The British government last week announced it would ban UK mobile providers from buying new Huawei 5G equipment after the end of 2020 and asked telecom operators to remove all the Chinese company’s 5G kit (装备) from their networks by 2027.
Ambassador Liu Xiaoming said the UK decision on Huawei is a mistake and that the British government would struggle to achieve its ambitious plan to have a full coverage 5G network by 2025.
Speaking on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show on Sunday, Liu said: “This is a very bad decision. This is a dark day for Huawei. It’s a dark day for China-UK relations. It’s an even darker day for the United Kingdom, because you will miss the opportunity to be a leading country.”
While some fear a so-called national security risk posed by the Chinese technology giant with its 5G network, Liu said there is no hard, solid evidence to suggest Huawei technology would be a threat to the UK.
“They’ve been here for 20 years. They have made a huge contribution not only to the telecom industry of this country. They have fulfilled their corporate (法人的) responsibility. They have helped the UK to develop.” Liu said.
The British government has pledged to make the UK completely 5G and ful-fibre connected by 2025, and Liu said Huawei can help to deliver that “but now it seems to me the UK just kicks them out and, to use the media words, to get rid of them under the pressure from the United States.”
During the interview, the ambassador echoed a point made by leading British scholar and sinologist Martin Jacques, author of the book When China Rules the World, and who wrote in a recent tweet “history turns full circle”.
“In 1793 Chinese Emperor Qianlong told the British King: ‘We don’t have the slightest need of your country’s manufactures (产品) .’ So marked the start of China’s 150 year decline. In 2020 UK tells China that it has no need of China’s latest technology,” Jacques tweeted.
12. Why did Liu Xiaoming say the UK decision on Huawei is a mistake
A. Because Britain is not likely to have a full coverage 5G network in future.
B. Because it will be hard for Britain to complete the 5G network as planned.
C. Because Huawei has made a huge contribution to the telecom industry of the UK.
D. Because British telecom operators are unwilling to remove Huawei’s 5G kit.
13. What does the underlined word “sinologist” in Para. 8 mean
A. A person that runs a particular business.
B. A person whose job is concerned with politics.
C. A person who studies, teaches, or writes about economics.
D. A person who researches Chinese history and language and culture.
14. What content may follow the last paragraph of the news report
A. How Huawei technology has been applied in the UK.
B. How the 5G network will be set up in Britain.
C. How Huawei has grown to be a Chinese technology giant.
D. How China will make response to the decision of the British government.
15. What can be the best title for the news report
A. UK’s Huawei decision could be lost chance, warns ambassador
B. Huawei technology would be a threat to the UK, says ambassador
C. Britain needs to buy new Huawei 5G equipment, suggests ambassador
D. Huawei has fulfilled their corporate responsibility, explains ambassador
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。中国驻英大使刘晓明称英国禁止华为参与其 5G 基础设施建设是一个错误决定，并称这对中英关系、英国自身及华为都是黑暗的一天，英国可能会失去机会。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Ambassador Liu Xiaoming said the UK decision on Huawei is a mistake and that the British government would struggle to achieve its ambitious plan to have a full coverage 5G network by 2025. (在周日的BBC安德鲁·马尔节目中，刘说:“这是一个非常糟糕的决定。对于华为来说，这是黑暗的一天。这是中英关系黑暗的一天。对英国来说，这是更黑暗的一天，因为你将失去成为领先国家的机会。”)”可知，刘晓明说英方对华为的决定是错误的，是因为英国很难按计划完成5G网络。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第八段划线词后半句“author of the book When China Rules the World, and who wrote in a recent tweet “history turns full circle”.(他是《当中国统治世界》一书的作者，并在最近的一条推文中写道:“历史又回到了原点”。)”和下一段可知，马丁·雅克是英国著名学者和汉学家。所以sinologist是“汉学家”的意思。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““In 1793 Chinese Emperor Qianlong told the British King: ‘We don’t have the slightest need of your country’s manufactures (产品) .’ So marked the start of China’s 150 year decline. In 2020 UK tells China that it has no need of China’s latest technology,” Jacques tweeted.(“1793年，中国乾隆皇帝告诉英国国王：‘我们一点也不需要你们国家的制造业。’这标志着中国150年衰落的开始。”2020年，英国告诉中国，它不需要中国的最新技术。”)”可知，最后一段提到英国政府取消华为在英国建设5G基础设施，从而推断，下文会说到中国对此的反应。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文，特别第一段“China’s ambassador to the United Kingdom said the decision to remove the Chinese technology company Huawei from Britain’s 5G infrastructure (基础设施) was a “dark day for the United Kingdom”, and could be a missed opportunity for the UK to lead in the sector. (中国驻英国大使表示，将中国科技公司华为从英国5G基础设施中移除的决定是“英国黑暗的一天”，可能会让英国错失在该领域领先的机会。)”可知，中国驻英大使刘晓明称英国禁止华为参与其 5G 基础设施建设是一个错误决定，并称这对中英关系、英国自身及华为都是黑暗的一天，英国可能会失去机会。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇应用文，是作者申请当运动会的志愿者的申请信。
【详解】1.考查时态和主谓一致。句意：我写这封信是想申请做你们广告上招聘的志愿者。根据语境可知，advertise是发生在writing this letter之前，也就是在现在之前就已经完成的动作，因此advertise应该用现在完成时，主语是you，因此用have advertised，故将had改为have。
2.考查不可数名词。句意：就我个人而言，志愿工作不仅可以帮助我丰富我的知识和经验，而且可以让世界各地的游客更好地了解我们的文化。knowledge是不可数名词，故将knowledges改为knowledge。
3.考查省略to的不定式。句意：就我个人而言，志愿工作不仅可以帮助我丰富我的知识和经验，而且可以让世界各地的游客更好地了解我们的文化。make sb. do sth.是固定短语，意为“让某人做某事”，do是省略了to的不定式，故去掉to。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意：一方面，有一个良好的英语水平，我可以自由地与外国人交流。communicate是谓语，have a good command of要用非谓语动词，I和have之间是主谓关系，因此用现在分词having表主动，故将have改为having。
5.考查定语从句。句意：另一方面，在过去的三年中，我参加了许多活动，在这些活动中我表现出色，积累了丰富的经验。“I performed well and gained rich experience”是“介词+which/whom”引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词activities是物，因此用in which引导定语从句，故将that改为which。
6.考查介词。句意：更重要的是，我的团队合作能力和运动能力有助于我申请这份工作。contribute to是固定短语，意为“有助于”，故将for改为to。
7.考查名词。句意：我的承诺是尽可能为参加运动会的人们提供最好的服务。此处要用名词作offer的宾语，serve的名词是service，意为“服务”，是不可数名词，故将serve改为service。
8.考查冠词。句意：希望本届运动会取得圆满成功。此处表示“希望本届运动会是一件成功的事情”，success是可数名词，意为“成功的事情”，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，great是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故在great前加a。
9.考查形容词。句意：如果您能给我一次机会，我将不胜感激。would be后要跟形容词grateful作表语，故将gratefully改为grateful。
10.考查代词。句意：如果您能给我一次机会，我将不胜感激。根据语境可知，此处表示“如果您能给我一次机会，我将不胜感激”，“我”用me作give的宾语，故将him改为me。

Prince Diana was known for her habit many people today don’t pay attention to, but a new study shows you might want to reconsider.
While performing her royal duties as the Princess of Wales, Diana made time to write thank-you letters. In the book Diana: Her True Story, the author Andrew Morton wrote about Diana’s determination to send thank-you cards, noting that after her royal wedding to Prince Charles in 1981 she “sat down and answered many of the 47.000 letters of congratulation and 10,000 gifts which the wedding generated (产生) ” , with the help of extra staff.
It turned out that Diana understood the significance (意义) of a thank-you card much more than others do. According to a recent study, many people underestimate (低估) the value of a thank-you letter and how much happiness the recipient (接受者) will get from it.
The author of Modern Etiquette (礼仪) for a Better Life, notes that what stands out about a thank-you note compared with a text or email is the time that goes into the act. “It is a special touch,” she said. “It’s going above and beyond what is generally expected because it means that you’ve taken some extra step.”
If you’re now feeling like sending a thank-you card to someone for a gift, for a favor or simply for their time, we have a few suggestions. Jacqueline Whitmore, an etiquette expert says that you shouldn’t be discouraged if you are a bit delayed (延迟) in sending out a note of appreciation.
“A late thank-you note is better than none at all,” she said. Also, a tone that’s warm and friendly along with personal stationery (信纸) for more of a signature look should be included.
It won’t be from Kensington Palace, but it will still have an original touch.
4. Why do many people pay no attention to sending thank-you letters
A. Because they think it hard to do so.
B. Because they are not from royal families
C. Because they attach less value to a thank-you letter.
D. Because they have no congratulation letters to answer.
5. What does the author mainly want to express in Para. 4
A. The process of writing a thank-you letter.
B. The difficulty in writing a thank-you letter.
C. The similarity of a thank-you letter to that of a text or email
D. The difference between a thank-you letter and a text or email.
6. What is Jacqueline Whitmore’s suggestion about a thank-you letter
A. Posting the letter with a gift.
B. Sending the letter at a later time.
C. Using a tone that’s warm and friendly.
D. Stopping sending the letter when it is too late.
7. What does the author think of Princess Diana’s habit of sending thank-you letters
A. Unbelievable. B. Doubtful.
C. Interesting. D. Admirable.

There have been numerous wake-up calls about the effects of climate change on sea life. As ocean waters heat up, they are making coral lose color. Growing levels of carbon dioxide are making seawater more acidic. Now climate change is starting to affect fish's sense of smell, a phenomenon that will worsen in the coming years if global warming continues growing.
A sense of smell is what the fish can't do without. They use it to find food, detect upcoming danger, escape from predators (捕食者）find safe environments, and even recognize one another. "Future levels of carbon dioxide can have large negative effects on the sense of smell of fish, which can affect fish population numbers and the entire ecosystem, ”said an ocean life expert. "This can be prevented, but we must reduce carbon emissions now before it's too late.”
Experts believe that about half of carbon dioxide emissions produced by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels--have over time ended up in the oceans, lowering the pH of seawater, and making it more acidic.
Researchers found that sea bass (鲈鱼）exposed to the more acidic conditions swam less and were less likely to react when encountering the smell of a predator. Also, they were more likely to "freeze", a sign of anxiety, according to the study. They found the longer the fish were in high CO2,the worse they got along. The researchers also measured the ability of the fish to detect certain odors (气味）in different levels of acidity (酸度）。 The study showed that their ability to detect and respond to some odors connected with food and threatening situations was more strongly affected than other odors.
The research is important because 20 percent of the protein consumed by 3 million people comes from seafood and about 50 percent of this comes from fish caught from the wild. “Therefore, increases in carbon dioxide in the ocean have the potential to affect all fish species, including those that many people rely on food and livelihood, "the ocean life expert warned.
8. What do we know from the first paragraph
A. Global warming will continue in the coming years.
B. Global warming is starting to affect fish's sense of smell.
C. The temperature of seawater is rising to a dangerous level.
D. Few people are worried about the impact of climate change.
9. Why does the author attach great importance to the sense of smell of fish
A. It can affect the survival of fish.
B. Fish can stay safe with their sense of smell.
C. Fish rely on their sense of smell to find food.
D. Fish can find each other by their sharp noses.
10. Why does the author mention human activities in the text
A. He wants to blame human beings for global warming.
B. He wants to criticize human beings for overuse of fossil fuels.
C. He concludes that human activities can destroy the sense of smell of fish.
D. He concludes that human activities can improve the ecosystem of the ocean.
11. What is the author's attitude toward the future of fish industry
A. Satisfied. B. Enthusiastic. C. Disappointed. D. Concerned.
D
China’s ambassador to the United Kingdom said the decision to remove the Chinese technology company Huawei from Britain’s 5G infrastructure (基础设施) was a “dark day for the United Kingdom”, and could be a missed opportunity for the UK to lead in the sector.
The British government last week announced it would ban UK mobile providers from buying new Huawei 5G equipment after the end of 2020 and asked telecom operators to remove all the Chinese company’s 5G kit (装备) from their networks by 2027.
Ambassador Liu Xiaoming said the UK decision on Huawei is a mistake and that the British government would struggle to achieve its ambitious plan to have a full coverage 5G network by 2025.
Speaking on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show on Sunday, Liu said: “This is a very bad decision. This is a dark day for Huawei. It’s a dark day for China-UK relations. It’s an even darker day for the United Kingdom, because you will miss the opportunity to be a leading country.”
While some fear a so-called national security risk posed by the Chinese technology giant with its 5G network, Liu said there is no hard, solid evidence to suggest Huawei technology would be a threat to the UK.
“They’ve been here for 20 years. They have made a huge contribution not only to the telecom industry of this country. They have fulfilled their corporate (法人的) responsibility. They have helped the UK to develop.” Liu said.
The British government has pledged to make the UK completely 5G and ful-fibre connected by 2025, and Liu said Huawei can help to deliver that “but now it seems to me the UK just kicks them out and, to use the media words, to get rid of them under the pressure from the United States.”
During the interview, the ambassador echoed a point made by leading British scholar and sinologist Martin Jacques, author of the book When China Rules the World, and who wrote in a recent tweet “history turns full circle”.
“In 1793 Chinese Emperor Qianlong told the British King: ‘We don’t have the slightest need of your country’s manufactures (产品) .’ So marked the start of China’s 150 year decline. In 2020 UK tells China that it has no need of China’s latest technology” Jacques tweeted.
12 Why did Liu Xiaoming say the UK decision on Huawei is a mistake
A. Because Britain is not likely to have a full coverage 5G network in future.
B. Because it will be hard for Britain to complete the 5G network as planned.
C. Because Huawei has made a huge contribution to the telecom industry of the UK.
D. Because British telecom operators are unwilling to remove Huawei’s 5G kit.
13. What does the underlined word “sinologist” in Para. 8 mean
A. A person that runs a particular business.
B. A person whose job is concerned with politics.
C. A person who studies, teaches, or writes about economics.
D. A person who researches Chinese history and language and culture.
14. What content may follow the last paragraph of the news report
A. How Huawei technology has been applied in the UK.
B. How the 5G network will be set up in Britain.
C. How Huawei has grown to be a Chinese technology giant.
D. How China will make response to the decision of the British government.
15. What can be the best title for the news report
A. UK’s Huawei decision could be lost chance, warns ambassador
B. Huawei technology would be a threat to the UK, says ambassador
C. Britain needs to buy new Huawei 5G equipment, suggests ambassador
D. Huawei has fulfilled their corporate responsibility, explains ambassador
