B The African grey parrot’s ability to talk and mimic sounds makes it a charming companion. African grey owners often report that their greys oftentimes talk in context and can understand their people’s emotions(情感). The African grey parrot is not just a top talker — this bird is also known for its extreme intelligence, which gives them the name “The Einsteins of the Bird World”. The bird is medium-sized, dusty-looking and almost pigeon-like. It has a bright red tail, intelligent orange eyes, and a stunning scalloped (扇形的) pattern to its feathers. Their diet in the wild consists mostly of nuts, seeds, fruits, and leafy matter. At home, African greys need plenty of toys that challenge their intelligence, such as food searching and puzzle toys. Nutri-Berries by Lafeber Company are a perfect choice, which, with a balance of grains, seeds and other nutrients in the shape of a berry, encourages African greys to hold, bite off, and even play with, just as they do in the wild. African greys seem especially affected by stress and disturbing noise in their environment and can be put more at ease by placing one corner of the cage against a wall as opposed to in the middle of a room. African grey parrots are more likely to suffer from lack of Vitamin-A/beta-carotene, and therefore benefit from eating vegetables high in beta-carotene, such as cooked sweet potato and fresh kale. Lack 3 of Vitamin-D is another concern, especially for greys on a poor diet. Offering a balanced, pill-shaped diet, such as Nutri-Berries, helps prevent vitamin and mineral shortage. 24. Why are African grey parrots called “The Einsteins of the Bird World”? A. Because of their brain size. B. Due to their talking ability. C. Owing to their rich emotions. D. On account of their intelligence. 25. What can “Nutri-Berries” probably be? A. A brand of bird food. B. Puzzle toys for birds. C. A type of round fruit. D. Wild Intelligence games. 26. What is the characteristic of African grey parrots? A. They may get ill due to lack of Vitamin B. B. They are smart and love to have fun. C. They are dusty looking with blue eyes. D. They prefer to stay in the middle of the room. 27. Where can we most probably find the passage? A. In a wildlife magazine. B. In science fiction. C. In a travel guide. D. On a shopping website. C Gretchen Altman is smiling, leaning back casually, a cup of coffee in hand — Hills Bros. Coffee, to be precise. It looks like a casual shot, but if you hit like, leave a comment, and tag a friend, you can get three different cups of coffee, for free. Altman is part of a growing trend of "micro-influencers". She has a small following — around 6,000 on Instagram (社交平台). Her going rate is $300 to $800 to promote something. She does some posts in exchange for free goods, as long as it’s stuff she believes in. As a micro-influencer she has a much closer relationship with her followers than a big social media star. "I’m just living a normal life and people relate to that," she says. "They just feel like I’m a friend of theirs." But it worries consumer rights groups. Several recent studies have found that young audiences are largely unable to understand when something is sponsored content. In some cases, it’s clear. When a big star takes to a social media to advertise Coca-Cola, for example, the assumption is that he or she’s probably getting paid to do so. And the posts are clearly labeled as ads, with the caption "advertisement" or "sponsored content". But what happens when an everyday person with just a couple thousand followers takes to social media to extol(颂扬) the virtues of a product? The motivations are not so clear-cut. The problem with these social media posts is that you don’t know whether it’s an ad or not. Altman is diligent about using those hashtags(标 签 ). She loves what she does and sees it as a business, but she doesn’t necessarily want to be a social media celebrity. "With social media being so integrated into our everyday lives, we have this unique opportunity that I don’t think anyone has ever had before where we can each be our own brand," Altman says. 28.What does a micro-influencer do according to the passage? A. Offer enough likes. B. Recommend some comments. C. Post to increase sales. D. Create advertisements. 29.What makes consumer rights groups feel worried? A. Ads with caption on posts. B. The unclear motivations of the posts. C. Sponsored ads content. D. The increasingly growing number of audiences 30. How does Gretchen Altman feel about being a micro-influencer? A. Pleased B. Upset. C. Ambitious. D. Disappointed. 31. Which of the following can be the best title? A. We Can Each Be Our Own Top Brand B. To be a Micro-influencer or to be a Big Star C. Hills Bros. Coffee, Your Coffee D. Instagram Advertising: Do You Know It, When You See It D When it comes to work, workers, and jobs, much of the concern of the modern age boils down to the fear that we're witnessing the final stage of the game, and that there will be nowhere for humans to withdraw as machines take over the last few tasks. The most recent example comes from the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Is there no area of human experience that can't be replaced by AI? And if not, what is left for humans to do except the tasks involved in taking care of the machines? At the heart of this concern is our desire for good jobs — jobs that make the most of workers' 4 natural abilities and where the work provides the worker with motivation and work-life balance. More importantly, good jobs support workers in learning by doing—and, in so doing, deliver benefits on three levels: to the worker, who gains in personal development and job satisfaction; to the organization, which reforms as staff find new problems to solve and opportunities to pursue; and to the community as a whole, which harvests the economic benefits of hosting positive organizations and workers. This is what makes good jobs productive for the organization, as well as engaging and fulfilling for the worker. Does the ongoing advance of AI threaten to get rid of all the learning, creativity, and meaning that make a job a good job? Certainly, some have blamed technology for just such an outcome. Headlines today often express concern over technological innovation(革新) resulting in bad jobs for humans, or even the complete disappearance of certain professions. Some fear that further technology advancement in the workplace will result in jobs where employees are being asked to work in split times or for longer periods over more days. The problem here isn't the technology; rather, it's the way the technology is used — and, more than that, the way people think about using it. 32. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to take care of the AI machines. B. The relations among work, workers, and jobs. C. The human fears in the age of AI. D. Human experiences were replaced by AI. 33. What jobs are supposed to be good according to the passage? A. Those that mainly have the economic benefits. B. The ones that offer chances to progress professionally. C. Those that make full use of workers’ motivation. D. The ones that don’t bring new problems to workers. 34. How do news media respond to the development of AI? A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Optimistic. D. Ambiguous. 35. What will the author probably talk about next? A. The future jobs humans will do. B. The possible application of AI in the future. C. The ways to deal with the issues of AI. D. The proper attitude towards AI. 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 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。 How to Reduce Anxiety During a Quarantine Several governments around the world have requested or ordered their citizens to quarantine themselves: to stay at home to avoid contact with others so as to slow the spread of diseases like COVID-19. It first appeared in China in late December and quickly became a worldwide health emergency. 36 . Here are some tips for you to reduce anxiety. Use social media wisely. For people thriving off social interaction, this practice can be troubling. But Rosmarin,a psychologist from Harvard Medical School, says a lack of physical proximity（接近）shouldn't mean a lack of socializing. He says phoning friends and staying in touch can allow us to maintain our connections, though he cautions that social media like Twitter doesn't provide the same benefits and creates distance. Instead, 37 . Playing online games or other virtual activities can also help you maintain feelings of remaining connected when avoiding in-person visits. Don’t let the news cycle determine your emotions The coronavirus situation is dynamic and seems to change by the hour, resulting in a number of people feeling irresistible to stay on top of updates by constant checking their phones. While that can be stressful at any time, it can affect your ability to relax if you surf news outlets just before going to sleep. 38 . Sleep is critical to a healthy immune system, and giving yourself an opportunity to relax is important. 39 Routines will go a long way toward helping you avoid feelings of disorganization. Do laundry on Sundays? Keep doing it on Sunday. Not going to work? Get dressed anyway. "Anxiety is just the beginning," Rosmarin says. "Within a week or two, people are probably going to start feeling depressed, especially when we are distancing from one another. That's really where the benefits of scheduling come in." Doing as usual will also help you adjust when the world returns—as it inevitably will—to 5 normalcy. At last, 40 . If you are experiencing helplessness from the effects of quarantine, contact a health care provider, a community organization or an emergency hotline number. A. It's very unlikely an update will be so urgent or pressing that it would lose relevance by morning B. Sticking to your normal sleep patterns and other practices will maintain feelings of familiarity C. keep a check on your own feelings D. Quarantines, however, can cause health problems and puts people at greater risk of anxiety and depression as a result of the isolation E. call or conference people you know personally, one-on-one F. Continuing with normal routines as much as possible will help you stay healthy G. Keep your usual routine 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节；满分 45 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。 A dog waiting on a roadside for four years has finally been reunited with its owner thanks to a social media post.
