His debut ( 处女秀) was limited and urged the BBC to put aside any fears that seeing facial expressions might be distracting for viewers, and make their newsreaders visible.Bakers first newsflash outside a scheduled bulletin came in October 1955, when Princess Margaret declared the break-up with Peter Townsend, and from 1957 he was joined by Robert Dougall as the regular faces of BBC TV news.Baker had started with the corporation in 1950, first as a studio manager and then an announcer on the Third Programme, now Radio 3, and returned to his love for classical music, introducing concerts from the Royal Albert Hall for TV (1960-95), and presenting programmes with enthusiasm on Radio 2, including Friday Night Is Music Night (1998-2005). He also broadcast on Radio 3 and Classic FM. Besides, he had become the nearest the BBC had found to a successor for Richard Dimbleby as a reporter for outside broadcasts of great occasions.His sense of composure thinking quickly on his feet without betraying the fact served him well in broadcasting. He liked to give the impression that he was rather a muddler who could forget where he should be at any given moment, but in reality he was in complete control.He was declared TV newsreader of the year three times in the 1970s, and won a Sony Gold award for lifetime achievement in radio. As a member of the Broadcasting Standards Council, he did much to lessen complaints against his industry.24. Why was BBC cautious about making newsreaders visible?A.

As Americas first national park, it remains one of the most popular tourist attractions.This year, YNP has reported that it had the most-ever September visitors. The increase contrasts sharply with May, when visitation rates were 90% lower compared to the same month last year. The park recorded about 837,000 visits in September, a rate 21% higher than September 2019 and 15.6% higher than the parks second-busiest September on record in 2018, when it hosted 724,000 people.Yellowstone was closed due to the coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情) from March 24 to May 18, when its two Wyoming entrances reopened. In June, the park opened its three other entrances and visitation rates improved slightly. The park reported a 32% decline in visitors compared to the same month last year. Visitationrates through June were down 49% compared to numbers from the first six months of 2019. However, a rapid uptick saw an increase of 2% in visitation rates in July compared to the same month last year. The park hosted 955,645 visitors in July compared to 534,000 people in June.The national parks peak season is typically from May through September. Most lodges, restaurants, stores and other services close for the year in October, followed by all park roads in early November.Sara Fleming, a spokesperson for the Gardiner Chamber of Commerce, said the increase in tourists could be caused by an increase in the amount of young people who have visited the park in recent months. She said more young people between 20 and 50 have visited the park than in previous summers.28. In which of the following months visitation rates dropped most?A. May.B. June.C. July.D. September.29. What does the underlined word “uptick” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Rise.B. Decline.C. Close. D. Reopen.30. Why is the number of visitors to YNP increasing?A. The government encourages people to visit it.B. YNP is the best destination for holidaytakers.C. The number of young visitors are on the rise.D. The admission fee has declined greatly.31. What may the best title for the text?A. Americas first national parkB. YNP got its busiest SeptemberC. The best season to visit YNPD. Visitors lost interest in YNPDWind turbines (涡轮) and solar panels that generate electricity are examples of “green” technology. A new study finds that such renewable energy might be green in another sense. Large collections of those turbines or solar panels appear capable of bringing rains to the desert and would allow more plants to grow.Building large wind or solar farms just to study their question was not an option. It would be too costly. So experts Kalnay and Safa developed a model of North Africas Sahara Desert to find out how wind turbines and solar farms might alter the deserts climate.The team ran its model several times. In one run, it assumed that people would set up wind farms only. Another run assumed people would install just solar farms. A third assumed people would build both. They would affect the deserts weather with temperature and average daily rain increased but differently. Installing a mix of solar farms and wind turbines brought about a bigger change not in temperature but in rainfall. In the Sahara, having both wind and solar farms more than doubled the amount of rain that fell, up to 215.4 millimeters per day.The models predicted that the average rainfall would increase over time, as more plants grew. Plants move water from the ground to the air. Warmer air can carry more water. So as this air rises, it can ferry more water up to become clouds. Those clouds can release rain, relieving the thirst of plants below. Over time, this process repeats itself over and over. This positive feedback can greatly boost rains.Such rainfall changes could lead to better agriculture, says Safa. “More rain also would help wild plants grow. We believe that the countries in the Sahara should seriously consider investing in wind and solar power.”, he added.32. What is the new finding of the research ?A. Deserts will be suitable for farming.B. It costs much to get deserts greener.C. Renewable energy can green a desert.D. Clean energy helps plants grow better.33. What discouraged experts from building energy farms?A. High construction expenses.B. A lack of suitable test sites.C. Shortage of manpower.D. Terrible climate.34. What was the advantage of the third run?A. Saving more energy with less cost.B. Doubling global rainfall per year.C. Raising daily rainfall in the desert.D. Decreasing temperature in the desert.35. What may Safa advise the countries in the Sahara to do?A. Build more farms to grow crops.B. Save more water for agriculture.C. Invest in wind and solar power.D. Consider moving to other places.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 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。In the future, when robots can be used both in homes and in other areas, they could improve the living standards of people. 36 When robots can complete such jobs, people can spend more time with their family and friends.Experts believe robots can be used on certain jobs to avoid accidents caused by careless behavior of some people. When robots are used on such work, it does not risk any human life due to accidents at the workplace. Human resources can be efficiently used by performing tasks which demand human skills like critical thinking and problem solving. 37 While some people talk about how robots can be useful to humans, others voice their concerns. When robots become cheaper to produce, employers may prefer to use more robots than humans. As the technology constantly improves the abilities of robots, it could weaken the value of humans. 38 Some may even develop the habit of using robots on tasks that they can easily do. This could create a lazy society. 39 Without them, the nations health care system will break down. There will simply be too many elderly people to care for as the nation faces a decreasing birth rate, an aging population, and the loosening of family ties. 40 Above all, Japan needs its dreams of robots in the home to come true because its immigration policy is anti-immigration.A. Robots have been widely used in Japan.B. Many people may rely on robots heavily.C. They can free people from such tasks as cooking.D. Most people believe robots have changed their life.E. Japan sees it as a must to build robots to take care of the elderly.F. Robots can be also used on low-end jobs like moving heavy things.G. However, many elderly people would prefer human helpers to robots.第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分）第一节 完形填空（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 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， 并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。Thanksgiving Day was near.
