Basel is often referred to as the cultural capital of Switzerland, but what exactly can you do in this Swiss city?
●The Rhein
In summer, it is common for locals and tourists alike to go for a refreshing swim in the river which runs through this beautiful city. When autumn and winter come along, swimming is replaced by walking along the river banks. I did see a very brave man take a dip in the dropping temperatures of late October, so anything is possible!
●The museums
Basel has a lot to offer in terms of museums, from the mechanical art in the Tinguely Museum to exploring the world of writing and printing in the Paper Museum, the skeletons of the Natural History Museum and discovering the city’s past in the History Center.
●The Old Town
This city is still a beautiful place with a long history, lots of cute cobbled streets, a bright red town hall and a great cathedral. In contrast, the city is also proud of Switzerland’s tallest building: the Roche tower.
●Go on a hike
If you’re more of a nature fan. Basel-Landschaft has many beautiful hiking trails to choose from such as hills, forests and beautiful rivers. And of course you deserve a treat of Swiss chocolate afterwards!
●Eat
If you’re in Switzerland, don’t forget to let your tongue experience the bubbling cheese, toasty raclette and foamy drinks or chocolate kisses! You won’t go hungry here. Of course, the rest of Switzerland also has much to offer, and thanks to great rail services, it can all be yours within an hour or two. Greetings from Basel! Hope to see you here soon.
1. What can tourists do when touring the Rhein?
A. Go skating with friends. B. Go for a train tour around it.
C. Go swimming in the river. D. Enrich knowledge of history.
2. Which of the following can meet your desire to appreciate nature?
A. The Rhein. B. Basel-Landschaft.
C. The Roche tower. D. The Natural History Museum.
3. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text?
A. To encourage visitors to visit a city. B. To introduce the benefits of traveling.
C. To show off Swiss cultural traditions. D. To attract visitors to museums in Switzerland.

One day while trying to print all the class worksheets we needed for the day, I found myself shouting at my printer in front of my son. “Why won’t this stupid thing print?” I shouted. My son came up to me quietly, saying, “Calm down, Mommy. Maybe if you don’t shout at the printer, it will work. You need to have patience.”
He was right. I needed patience-patience with this whole situation. I stopped myself, realizing this was not the behavior I wanted my son to see. He was also right that I needed to calm down. Just like what I told him to do, I took a few deep breaths and walked away from the collapsed printer. Later that day when we were outside, I tried to keep the sense of calm I had slightly achieved. Once I blocked out all the anxiety over the virus, school, and my work-I found the afternoon peaceful and pleasant. I played flying disc with my son, simply enjoying each other’s company while the birds sang. It was an everyday moment I’ll never take for granted again.
From then on, things got a little easier. I started to give myself, and everyone else, some favour. I stopped holding myself to my perfectionism standards with every little thing because they were truly impossible to keep to.
With that favour, I changed my focus. Getting every school worksheet done correctly is not important. Neither is cleaning the house. And, apart from getting fired, neither is my work. Spending time with my family, and staying healthy emotionally and physically, became my main concerns. We took walks. We danced our hearts out during the Disney Family Sing-Along. We got up early and walked secretly into our backyard with telescopes to bird watch. Who knows, birding may be the new hobby we’re never giving up.
4. What did the author’s son ask his mother to do?
A. Print later. B. Stop printing.
C. Change another printer. D. Stay calm.
5. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Sensitive. B. Stubborn.
C. Broken-down. D. Unfriendly.
6. How did the author make her life easier?
A. By giving up dreams.
B. By focusing on others.
C. By stopping pursuing perfection.
D. By paying little attention to work.
7. Which of the following does the author think most important?
A. Watching birds. B. Doing house cleaning.
C. Seeking after her career. D. Finishing school worksheets.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲述作者因为打印机发生故障打不出表，在儿子面前大喊大叫，而儿子劝她保持冷静，也许事情就会出现转机，进而使作者悟出一个道理，停止追求完美会使生活变得更加简单。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“My son came up to me quietly, saying, ‘Calm down, Mommy. Maybe if you don’t shout at the printer, it will work. You need to have patience.’” 我儿子悄悄地走到我跟前，说：“妈妈，冷静点。 也许如果你不对着打印机大喊大叫，它就会起作用。 你需要有耐心。”由此可知，作者的儿子让他的妈妈保持冷静，故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“One day while trying to print all the class worksheets we needed for the day, I found myself shouting at my printer in front of my son. ‘Why won’t this stupid thing print?’ ” 有一天，当我试着打印一天所需要的所有班级工作表时，我发现自己在儿子面前对我的打印机大喊大叫。 “为什么这个愚蠢的东西打印不出来？由此可知，应该是打印机发生了故障，因此可以猜测collapsed为有故障的，与“broken-down”同义，故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“From then on, things got a little easier. I started to give myself, and everyone else, some favour. I stopped holding myself to my perfectionism standards with every little thing because they were truly impossible to keep to. ” 从那时起，事情变得更容易了。 我开始给自己和其他人一些帮助。 我不再坚持对每一件小事执行完美主义标准，因为它们确实是不可能保持的。由此可知，作者是通过停止追求完美使生活变得更简单了，故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 “With that favour, I changed my focus. Getting every school worksheet done correctly is not important. Neither is cleaning the house. And, apart from getting fired, neither is my work. Spending time with my family, and staying healthy emotionally and physically, became my main concerns.” 有了这个帮助，我改变了我的关注点。正确地完成每一份学校工作表并不重要。打扫房子也不是。除了被解雇，我的工作也一样。与家人共度时光，保持身心健康，成为我最关心的事情。由此可知，陪伴家人，保持身心健康成为作者最重要的事情，而且下文“Who knows, birding may be the new hobby we’re never giving up.” 谁知道呢，观鸟也许会成为我们永远不会放弃的新爱好。由此推断，A选项的“观鸟”和其他三个选项比，应该是作者认为最重要的事情，故选A。
【点睛】推理判断题的推断对象主要包括隐含意思、目标读者、观点态度、文章出处、写作意图等。以推断隐含意义的题目居多。推断隐含意义，即要求根据文章的某个句子、段落或全文所提供的事实进行逻辑推理，推断出作者没有提到、没有明说或者可能发生的事实。题干中常含infer（推断），suggest（暗示），imply（暗示），indicate（暗示），conclude（推断，得出结论）等词语。解此类题，首先找到相关信息，然后细读、理解相关信息的字面意义，最后结合语境和常识，在字面意义的基础上进行符合逻辑的推断，从而理解作者的言外之意。如小题4，根据文章最后一段 “With that favour, I changed my focus. Getting every school worksheet done correctly is not important. Neither is cleaning the house. And, apart from getting fired, neither is my work. Spending time with my family, and staying healthy emotionally and physically, became my main concerns.” 有了这个帮助，我改变了我的关注点。正确地完成每一份学校工作表并不重要。打扫房子也不是。除了被解雇，我的工作也一样。与家人共度时光，保持身心健康，成为我最关心的事情。由此可知，陪伴家人，保持身心健康成为作者最重要的事情，而且下文“Who knows, birding may be the new hobby we’re never giving up.” 谁知道呢，观鸟也许会成为我们永远不会放弃的新爱好。由此推断，A选项的观鸟和其他三个选项比，应该是作者认为最重要的事情，故选A。
C
Plenty of animals hibernate (冬眠), but what do wild bees do? When it starts to get cold outside, we seldom see honeybees. That's for sure. But where exactly do they end up? Do they hibernate?
In climates that drop below 50 F in the wintertime, they can hibernate. If the climate stays warmer, they just carry on business as usual. In colder climates, the hibernation process can be a bit difficult, however.
In order to stay warm, bees will return to their home and form a winter group. The queen sits at the center of the group, while the outer shell is made up of the female worker bees. The group actively takes turns changing places, regularly allowing the outermost bees to cycle inside to stay warm.
The length of life of each kind of bee varies based on the season and their reproduction cycle. Worker bees usually survive five to six weeks, but in the winter time, they can survive for more than five months, as they 're less active and can store more of their energy for survival. The queen tends to live two to three years but has been known to live up to five years.
The temperature toward the center of the group hits up to 100 F，while the outermost temperature tends to around 50 F. If you meet a beehive (蜂巢) in the winter time, don't worry, as there will be almost no activity when it comes to the ins-and-outs of the hive. But don't disturb it with a stick, either.
Remember, bees are not looking at a calendar and waiting for the first day of winter. If you've had an warm winter with temperatures above 50 F, bees will just carry on their business as usual, and you should still be careful. And once spring rolls back around, you can plant some flowers that bees love to attract them.
8. How do bees keep each of them warm in winter?
A. By going out together. B. By keeping turning nonstop.
C. By changing positions in their home. D. By forming a line in the beehive center.
9. Why do worker bees live longer in winter?
A. They exercise more. B. They behave less actively.
C. They look after each other better. D. They need more time to spend winter.
10. What can we learn about bees from the text?
A. They can't carry on business above 50o F. B. They may work as usual in warm winter.
C. They often hibernate on the first day of winter. D. They can't attack people when disturbed in winter.
11. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To introduce the types of wild bees. B. To show the life of bees in warm climates.
C. To explain the reasons why bees hibernate. D. To introduce how bees live through the winter.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了野生蜜蜂如何过冬。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The group actively takes turns changing places, regularly allowing the outermost bees to cycle inside to stay warm.( 这群蜜蜂主动地轮流交换位置，定期让最外面的蜜蜂在蜂巢内轮换以保持温暖。)”可知，蜜蜂在冬天通过在巢里变换位置来取暖，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Worker bees usually survive five to six weeks, but in the winter time, they can survive for more than five months, as they 're less active and can store more of their energy for survival.(工蜂通常能活5到6周，但在冬季，它们可以活5个月以上，因为它们不太活跃，可以为生存储存更多的能量)”可知，工蜂在冬天活得更久，因为它们的行为不那么活跃，故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“If you've had an warm winter with temperatures above 50 F, bees will just carry on their business as usual, and you should still be careful.(如果你经历了一个温暖的冬天，温度超过50华氏度，蜜蜂会照常工作，你还是要小心。)”可知，在温暖的冬天，他们可以像往常一样工作。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When it starts to get cold outside, we seldom see honeybees. That's for sure. But where exactly do they end up? Do they hibernate?( 当外面开始变冷的时候，我们很少能看到蜜蜂，这是肯定的。但他们到底在哪里？他们冬眠吗？)”以及下文描述，本文主要的目的是介绍了蜜蜂是如何过冬的。故选D。
D
One argument for why robots will never fully measure up to people is because they lack human-like social skills. But researchers are experimenting with new methods to give robots social skills to better interact with humans. Two new studies provide evidence of progress in this kind of research.
One experiment was carried out by the researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT. The team developed a machine learning system for self- driving cars that is designed to learn the social characteristics of human drivers and how they act. The researchers studied driving situations to learn how human drivers on the road were likely to behave. Since not all human drivers act the same way, they meant to teach the driverless car to avoid dangerous situations.
The researchers say the technology uses tools borrowed from the
