When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.（目前，我被诊断出患有一种注意力障碍。这让我上学很困难。当班上其他人都在集中精力做作业时，我却做不到。）”可知，作者患有一种注意力障碍的病症，当班上的每个人都专注于任务时，他做不到，所以作者没有在课堂上完成阅读任务。故选C项。【5题详

20、解】细节理解题。根据第五段中“It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldnt get much education. But Louis didnt give up.

22、一惊，竟然得了一个“A”。在纸的底部有这样几个字：“当你不断尝试时，看看你能做什么？”）”可知，史密斯女士对作者的态度是令人鼓励的。故选D项。【7题详解】词句猜测题。根据“I believe one can find his way out of predicament with determination and efforts.”可知，作者相信一个人只要有决心和努力，就一定能走出predicament。根据句意，尤其“with determination and efforts”可知，此处是指有了决心和努力一个人一定能找到走出困境的路。由此可知，划线词predicament意为“困境，窘况

23、，困难”。故选C项。CA rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below l6. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. With

24、out the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world.

26、 resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood rig

32、e world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate.Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world.可知，雨林对世界环境有很大影响，因为它们可以吸收太阳的热量并调节气候。如果没有森林覆盖，这些地区会向大气中反射更多的热量，使世界其他地方变暖。所以热带雨林可以帮助调节气候，因为它们可以减少太阳热量对地球的影

33、响。故选D项。【9题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.可知，人们显然需要从砍伐树木中获得资源，但我们所遭受的损失将远远大于我们所得到的好处。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出，第三段划线的“this”指的是我们失去的会比得到的多得多。故选A项。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据最后段More than 25 of the medicines we use toda

34、y come from plants in rainforests. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the worlds shrinking rainforests可知，我们今天使用的药物有25%以上来自雨林中的植物。我们治愈疾病的最佳机会极有可能出现在世界上正在萎缩的雨林中。所以通过关键词“More than 25 of the medicines，It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure disease

35、s lies somewhere in the worlds shrinking rainforest”可以判断出，热带雨林有很大的药用潜力，故选B项。【11题详解】主旨大意题。通读整篇内容可知，短文介绍了热带雨林在人们生活中的重要作用，它们能吸收太阳光调节地球上的温度，减少人类得病，还能提供一些药用的植物药材为人类治病，因此，我们要保护热带雨林，不要滥垦滥伐。所以根据全篇短文的内容来看主要说的是热带雨林和环境，故短文的最佳标题是“热带雨林和环境 ”。故选C项。DThe secret of successful responseThe novel coronavirus(新冠状病毒)is an

36、 uncommon threat. We dont know how bad it will be, nor do we know for how long it will spread. But we do know that it has already infected (感染) more than 18,000 people and killed many around the world. It also caused serious global economic damage. We need to adapt our responses to different countri

37、es and different parts of the same country in order to limit damage. Using data well is essential to such a successful response.Data is key to all successful public health programs. In New York City, we raised tobacco taxes and made all indoor public places smoke free. Smoking rates declined at firs

38、t but then the decline stopped. Because we had a tracking system in place, we realised that progress had stopped. So, we produced strong and direct no tobacco ads to the public. Our programs quickly reduced adult and teenager smoking, preventing more than 10,0000 deaths.Every country facing the coro

45、致全球众多人口，造成了严重的经济损失。每个面临新冠状毒病的国家都需要加强其数据系统，以跟踪疾病、进行调查和快速成功地应对，而快速应对的秘诀是迅速而又准确地获取数据。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“We need to adapt our responses in order to limit damage. Using data well is essential to such a successful response.”可知，我们可以充分利用数据，调整应对措施，以减少新冠肺炎导致的经济损失，并不是利用数据治疗被新冠肺炎感染的病人。故选D项。【13题详解】推理判断题。第二段首句提到

46、“Data is key to all successful public health programs.（数据是所有成功的公共卫生项目的关键。）”下文举出在纽约市所有室内公共场所禁烟的例子。通过数据跟踪系统，作者他们了解到公共场所室内禁烟有所下降，于是采取了应对措施，制作无烟广告进行宣传。该段最后一句提到“Our programs quickly reduced adult and teenager smoking, preventing more than 10,0000 deaths.”由于数据跟踪系统的作用，迅速减少了成年人和青少年吸烟，预防了更多的死亡。因此可以推断，作者谈到公共场

47、所禁烟的例子是为了显示数据的重要作用。故选C项。【14题详解】推理判断题。第三段中提到“Fast action will save lives and save money. But building the capacity to do this isnt free. Thats a lot of money for public health, but its a tiny part of the amount lost ”快速应对将拯救生命、节省金钱。虽然建立这样的能力对公共健康来说是一大笔钱，但这只是当我们面对不知道的健康威胁时的损失的一小部分。由此可以推断，作者认为发展快速应对能力是

48、值得的，也是必要的。故选B项。【15题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，文章第一段提出“Using data well is essential to such a successful response.” 新冠状病毒导致全球众多人口死亡，造成了严重的经济损失。充分利用数据是成功应对新冠状病毒不必可少的；第二段首句提出“Data is key to all successful public health programs.” 数据是所有成功的公共卫生项目的关键；文章最后一段提出“it is always very important if we want to respond successfu

49、lly, limit spread, and protect our communities and economy.” 准确的数据对于成功应对、限制病毒传播、保护我们的社区和经济是非常重要的。由此可知，文章是关于充分利用数据对公共卫生项目的重要性和意义。故选B项。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。An acquaintance has something in common with you and merely enjoys your company for a short time.
