一．阅读理解（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Jonathan Agnew recently described “unofficial interviews” as those where you agree that it’s “between you and I”. And a Times journalist wrote about someone who had “made Jenny and I feel so welcome”. They are both intelligent people with the ability to express ideas fluently and logically. And yet they wrote “I” where they meant “me”.

It’s happening more and more. We are scared of the mistake like “Terry and me went to the pub”. We’ve all been taught that it should be “Terry and I went to the pub”. Plus we’ve heard the Queen say “my husband and I” a lot. So we begin to use “and I” even when it should be “and me”.

But my point here is not to support the correct usage. It’s the opposite: I want to reject the idea that there’s such a thing as “correct” English at all. Language isn’t like maths, where you can show that two plus two is four. Language has no fundamental rights and wrongs, only conventions. You cannot definitively prove that any are “right” and others “wrong”.

Sometimes correct language sounds absurd. Look at Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills) who came up with a new rule. Primary school children now have to be taught that “inverted commas” is right, while “speech marks” is wrong. You and I know that those terms are interchangeable. And the child who looks at those marks on the page can see that both make perfect sense. That’s because a primary school child is more intelligent than the Ofsted turkey who came up with this rule.

As the teacher who told me about the ludicrous rule pointed out, there is no doubt that in a few years’ time, the “incorrect” term will become the “correct” one. But the truly horrible thing about an education system like this is that it destroys children’s love of language. It tells them they have to worry about rules, instead of encouraging them to read and write for its own sake. Let them read for fun and they’ll absorb the rules — or conventions — anyway. Have them shaking in fear about English tests, and you’ll increase their insecurity about getting language “right”.

Then one day that insecurity will have them saying “and I” even though they mean “and me”.

12. Why do people use “and I” when it should be “and me” according to the text?

A. The Ofsted sets a rule.

B. “and I” is the correct English.

C. The Queen makes a similar mistake.

D. People feel insecure about using “and me”.

13. What can we learn from paragraphs 3 and 4?

A. Rules benefit children’s language learning.

B. Language learning is more complicated than maths.

C. Language is based on commonly accepted rules.

D. A primary school child is smarter than the Ofsted.

14. What does the underlined word “ludicrous” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. Influential.B. Particular.

C. Conventional.D. Ridiculous.

15. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude towards the correct English?

A. Critical.B. Objective.

C. Favourable.D. Indifferent.

一．阅读理解

【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。文章首先提出了有一些能够流利和有逻辑地表达想法的聪明人，用“I”来代替“me”，用的越来越多时，人们就开始在该用“I”的时候用了“me”。作者认为语言不像数学，没有对错，只有惯例。太讲究语言规则，会破坏孩子们对语言的热爱。

12.D 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“It’s happening more and more. We are scared of the mistake like “Terry and me went to the pub”. We’ve all been taught that it should be “Terry and I went to the pub.” （用的越来越多时，我们害怕像“Terry and me went to the pub”这样的错误。我们都被教导应该是“Terry and I went to the pub”）”可知，人们使用“and I”这样的表达方式是害怕犯错误，与D选项中的“feel insecure（没有安全感）”相呼应。故选D项。

13.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Language has no fundamental rights and wrongs, only conventions.（语言没有基本的对错，只有惯例）”和第四段中的主题句“Sometimes correct language sounds absurd.（有时所谓的正确的语言听起来很荒谬。）” 可知，作者想表达的是语言并无对错，只要被人们普遍认可即可。与C项“Language is based on commonly accepted rules.（语言是基于普遍接受的规则。）”意义相近。故选C项。

14.D 【解析】词义猜测题。在第四段中，作者举例论证了“Sometimes correct language sounds absurd有时所谓的正确语言听起来很荒谬”，例子中说道：Ofsted提出了新的语言规则，让小学生必须认为“inverted commas”是正确的，而“speech marks”是错误的，我们都知道这些术语是可以互换的，而看到这些标注的小学生都知道这两者都是完全说得通的。作者还用讽刺的口吻说道“那是因为小学生比提出这些规则的人要聪明。”结合划线词所在句后一句的句意是“毫无疑问，再过几年，不正确的术语又变成了正确的术语”。可知，第五段中的划线词“ludicrous”的意思是“荒唐的，可笑的” A. Influential有影响的；B. Particular特别的；C. Conventional传统的; D. Ridiculous可笑的，荒谬的。故选D项。

15.A 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“I want to reject the idea that there’s such a thing as “correct” English at all.（我想拒绝那种认为英语"正确"的观点。）”和第四段中的“Sometimes correct language sounds absurd.（有时所谓的正确的语言听起来很荒谬）”可知作者是不赞成“正确英语”这种观点的。Critical. 批评的； Objective. 客观的；.Favourable赞许的； Indifferent. 漠不关心的。故选A项。

二．七选五

36-40 F B C E G

三．语法填空

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。改革开放以来，深圳已经从一个小渔村发展成为一个现代化的城市，它为中国的改革开放和现代建设积累了宝贵经验，为探索中国特色社会主义道路做出了重要贡献。

41. has grown

【解析】考查时态。句意：改革开放以来，深圳已经从一个小渔村发展成为一个现代化的城市。since引导的时间状语从句时，主句的谓语动词常用现在完成时，Shenzhen是句子主语。故填has grown。

42. increasingly

【解析】考查副词。句意：深圳的GDP从1980年的不到2亿元人民币猛增到2018年的2.4万亿元人民币。修饰动词soar用副词，increase（增加）是动词，它的副词是increasingly（不断增加地）。故填increasingly。

43. southern

【解析】考查形容词。句意：深圳这个南方城市拥有1200万人口，以其强大的创新能力而闻名。使用形容词修饰名词city作定语，south（南方）是名词，它的形容词是southern（南方的）。故填southern。

44. to

【解析】考查固定搭配。句意：它是包括华为和腾讯在内的14,000多家国家高科技企业所在地。固定词组be home to的意思是“为……的所在地”。故填to。

45. an

【解析】考查冠词。句意：王小光教授在一篇文章中说，中国改革开放的许多很好的例子起源于深圳。根据句意此处泛指“一篇文章”，所以使用不定冠词。article是以元音音素开头的单词。故填an。

46. attached

【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：《展望周刊》是新华社的一本杂志。be attached to 附属于。分析句子结构，谓语动词是said，attach是非谓语动词，因此使用attached to短语作后置定语修饰magazine。故填attached。

47. and

【解析】考查并列连词。句意：深圳为中国的改革开放和现代化建设积累了宝贵经验。该空应填入并列连词连接China's reform and opening-up和modern construction。故填and。

48. contributions

【解析】考查名词。句意：深圳为探索中国特色社会主义道路做出了重要贡献。固定词组make contributions to意为“为…做贡献”。故填contributions。

49. which

【解析】考查非限制性定语从句。句意：王小光教授说，中国特色社会主义的根本特征是党的领导，它在调整大局中起着中心作用。分析句子结构可知，此处需填入引导非限定性定语从句的关系词，先行词是the leadership of the Party，从句缺主语，所以填which。故填which。

50. referring

【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：王小光教授提到深圳是中国改革开放以来处理市场与政府关系的一个很好的例子。分析句子结构可知，refer是非谓语动词，它与句子主语he是主动的关系，应使用现在分词referring。故填referring。

四．书面表达

The person I respect the most is Zhong Nanshan, one of the premier and greatest medical scientists in the 21st century .

Born in 1936 and graduated from Beijing Medical College, this ordinary but great man has been working in the medical field for over 50 years. In the spring of 2003, the SARS epidemic broke out in China and across the globe. ZhongNanshan not only led but also took an active part in the battle against SARS. At that time no one really knew much about SARS and most people had no natural defenses against the disease. Dangerous as it was, Zhong Nanshan worked hard day and night treating SARS patients. Through their hard work for several months, soon the SARS epidemic was stopped in its track.

Now in 2020, Zhong Nanshan aged 83, as head of a high-level expert team, is fihgting against the novel coronavirus（冠状病毒), a pneumonia（肺炎) outbreak in Wuhan, Hubei province.

In all, Zhong Nanshan is devoted to the medical cause. He is a good doctor in the patients' eyes and a kind medical professor in hisstudents as well.
