完型填空答案解析：
1.【答案】COn
2.【答案】Amatch
3.【答案】Benjoyment
【解析】此处考察上下文逻辑关系。上文说到星期日烤肉是一项开心的活动。后文Yet进行语义转折：然而正如现在报道的那样，食品卫生部门认为这种3会导致另一种有罪的快乐4损害我们的健康。enjoyment乐趣与上文pleasures和下文anotherpleasures互为关联信息。patience耐心，耐性。surprise惊喜。concern关心。
4.【答案】Dguaranteed
【解析】此处考察非谓语动词做后置定语的用法。空格所在句指出：这种快乐会导致另一种有罪的快乐4损害我们的健康。guaranteed有保证的，一定的，填入空格处意为：这种快乐会导致另一种有罪的快乐，肯定会损害我们的健康。intensified增强，加剧;privileged享有特权，专用，特许;compelled强迫。
5.【答案】Aissued
【解析】此处考察词义辨析。TheFoodStandardsAuthority(FSA)has__5__apublicwarning...食品标准管理局一项公开的警告...issued发表，发布，发出;received接收，接到;ignored忽视，忽略;canceled取消。issuedapublicwarning发出一项公开的警告符合文意。
6.【答案】Bat
【解析】此处考察介词辨析。insomefoodscooked__6__hightemperatures.under在...下面;for为了;因为;对于;by在…旁边;通过;由于;经过。
7.【答案】Davoid
【解析】此处考察上下文逻辑关系。7空句首thismean代词this指代上文高温炙烤的食物里会有化学复合物有害人体身体健康。所以下文提出建议人们应该7炸土豆，不吃薄皮披萨并且...7空同时也与reject构成语义并列的关系，故avoid正确。forget忘记;regret后悔;finish完成。
8.【答案】Apartially
【解析】此处考察词义辨析+上下文语境。...andonly__8__toasttheirbread.8空前文说到建议人们不吃炸土豆，薄皮披萨或者只是8烤面包。partially部分地，偶尔地;regularly有规律地;easily容易地;initially最初地。故A选项正确。
9.【答案】DWhile
【解析】此处考察上下文逻辑关系+逻辑连接词辨析。__9__studieshaveshownthatacrylamidecancauseneurologicaldamageinmice,thereisno__10__evidencethatitcausescancerinhumans.9研究表明丙烯酰胺可引起小鼠神经损伤，但是没有10证据表明它会导致人类患癌症。前后句为转折/对比/让步的逻辑关系，故选择while表示虽然，尽管。Unless除非，表条件的逻辑关系;Since因为，表因果逻辑;If如果，表条件的逻辑关系。
10.【答案】Cconclusive
【解析】此处考察词义辨析+上下文语境。9研究表明丙烯酰胺可引起小鼠神经损伤，但是没有10证据表明它会导致人类患癌症。conclusive决定性的;令人信服的;确凿的
secondary第二的，中等的;间接的;external外面的，外部的;表面上的;外用的;外国的;negative消极的，否认的。
11.【答案】Clikely
【解析】此处考察固定搭配。belikelyto可能。insufficient不足的，不够的;bound捆绑的，束缚的，有义务的;slow缓慢的。
12.【答案】AOnthebasisof
【解析】此处考察短语辨析+上下文逻辑。__12__theprecautionaryprinciple,itcouldbearguedthatitis__13__tofollowtheFSAadvice.12预防性原则，可以说遵循FSA的建议是13。Onthebasisof以...为基础，根据，按照;Atthecostof以...为代价;Inadditionto除...之外;Incontrastto与之相对，相反。
13.【答案】Badvisable
【解析】此处考察形容词词义辨析。根据预防性原则，可以说遵循FSA的建议是13。interesting有趣的;advisable明智的，可取的;urgent急迫的;fortunate侥幸的，幸运的。
14.【答案】DAfterall
【解析】考察逻辑关系。原文中上一句说“基于“预防原则”，可以认为最好遵循FSA的建议”。本句说“在有证据证明吸烟与癌症之间的联系之前，吸烟导致癌症的传言就已经流传多年了。结合选项分析，Asusual像往常一样，Inparticular尤其，特别，Bydefinition根据定义，Afterall毕竟，只有Afterall符合文意。
15.【答案】Cconnection
【解析】本题考察动宾搭配，结合语境和句子成分理解，这里的名词放在prove“证明”后面，整体处在不定式中做主语补足语说明主语evidence，这里“证据”应该是证明出来(吸烟和肺癌)有联系的，故选择connection。Resemblance相似，combination结合，pattern模式，均不符合。
16.【答案】Bserved
【解析】本题考察主谓搭配，此处为被动语态，和主语apieceofboiledbeef构成实际上的“动宾关系”，句意“毫无疑问，一片煮熟的牛肉总能在周日和一些蒸蔬菜一起__16__”。这里servedup表示“上菜，端上”正和文意。而其他选项made制作，saved节省，used使用，均不符合。
17.【答案】ATobefair
【解析】本题考察主谓搭配，上一句说“但是生命值得过下去吗”本句话说，“英FSA表示，它并没有告诉人们....不吃烘焙食品”，可见后文并没有对上文进行举例(forinstance)或总结(Tobebrief)或表示经常发生的事情(ingeneral)，故，应该选择顺承关系的Tobefair。
18.【答案】Bentirely
【解析】此处考察副词的修饰关系。本句话句意为“英FSA表示，它并没有告诉人们不吃烘焙食品__18__”。结合各选项分析：reluctantly不情愿地，entirely完全地，gradually逐渐地，carefully小心谨慎地，能跟前面的否定词not呼应使用表示一种部分否定的，只能是entirely才合适，not...entirely表示“并未完全...”。
19.【答案】Ccampaign
【解析】本题考察主谓搭配。根据原文语境“然而，他们(FSA)的...有风险给人一种‘劝诱式’保姆的感觉”，答案campaign表示“(开展的)运动，活动”放在这里最合适。promise承诺，experience经历或经验，competition竞争，均不能体现本文中FSA所做行为的代称。
20.【答案】Dendup
【解析】考察动宾搭配，这里的句义是“持续不断的健康威胁__20__却没有人在听。”这里想强调太多的的对健康的恐慌的最终结果，只有“结束，以...告终”这个含义最符合，所以选择endup，而followup跟踪，坚持完成，pickup捡起，拾起，偶然学到，openup打开，开发，均不符合文义。

[D]arelatedtopic.
[A]Skeptical.
[B]Objective.
[C]Favourable.
[D]Critical.
Text1答案解析
21C这道题是细节题。题干问库珀和她的同事们认为“文化之城”这一奖项可能会怎样可以定位在第一段第三句：“CooperandhercolleaguesarguethatthesuccessofthecrownforHull,……”“赫尔之冠”的成功并不局限于城市，它为赫尔带来了2.2亿欧元的投资和大量艺术作品。英国的城镇，确实没有被阻止申请，但他们通常缺乏资源来凑齐一点来击败他们更大的竞争对手。有人认为，“文化之城”奖可以成为一项年度活动，吸引资金并创造就业机会。所以能看出答案是C.增强英国城镇的经济实力。
22Baself-deceivingattempt
该题是推断题,题干问:根据第二段，这一提议或许会被一些人认为是…….。可以定位在第二段第一句“Somemightseetheproposalasaboobyprizeforthefactthat……”“有些人可能会把这个提议看作是一个嘘声，因为英国已经不能再申请更有声望的欧洲文化之都的称号了……”能看出来有些人是持反面态度的。很多人不认识boo，但是也能从后面的onthevergeofdisappearingintoanendlessfeverofself-celebrationinitsdesperationtoreinventitselffor,在绝望地为英国退欧后的世界重塑形象之际，英国即将消失在一场无休止的自我庆祝热潮之中.接下来几个反问句，能看出来是一种自我欺骗的尝试，所以选择B。
23Dcommitstoitslong-termgrowth
该题也是细节题,题干问:作者认为这个头衔的持有者是成功的只要它……可以定位到第三段第三句，这些头衔真正成功的持有者，是那些除了为酒店带来收入、带来引人注目的艺术活动和一年的良好报道之外，还做了很多事情的人。它们转变了当地居民的愿望;他们将城市的自我形象推向更大胆、更乐观的一面。所以能看出只要他把致力于乡村的长期发展中，这个头衔就会是成功的。
24A.acontrastingcase
这题是写作目的题，题干说：第3段提到格拉斯哥是为了展现什么。可以定位到第三段倒数第一句。可以看到前面有明显的BUT，知道和前面的意思成相反。“这个问题很难解决，需要高度的远见卓识，也需要城市当局、私营部门、社区团体和文化组织之间的合作。但这是可以做到的:格拉斯哥作为欧洲文化之都的一年，可以被看作是一系列复杂的因素之一，这些因素把这座城市变成了艺术、音乐和戏剧的力量，直到今天。”
25Dfavourable
这题是作者态度题，问作者对于这个建议的态度。第一段是提出该建议。第二段是一些人认为这个建议有点吹嘘。而只有最后一段能看出作者对此建议的态度，“一个“文化之城”不仅仅是艺术之城，而且要尊重一个城市的特色——帮助维持它的商业街，支持当地的设施，最重要的是赞美它的人民，并将其转化为行动。”所以能看出是积极赞成的态度。

Text2答案解析
26,细节题Ditscontentacquisitioncostnothing

27,细节题Athrivedmainlyonuniversitieslibraries
根据题干关键词Elsevier定位到第三段第一句话，TheDutchgiantElsevier,....madeprofitsofmorethan490mlastyear.whileUKuniversitiesalonespentmorethan210min2016,该公司去年利润超过4.9亿英镑然而仅英国大学在2016年就花费了超过2.1亿英镑。正确选项A主要依靠大学图书馆为定位句的同意表达

根据题干中关键词Sci-Hub的成功定位到第四段第二句，ThesuccessofSci-Hub,....havethemselveslegallyaccessedshowsthelegalecosystemhaslostlegitimacyamongitsusersandmustbetransformedsothatitworksforallparticipants这表明法律生态系统在其用户中已经失去了合法性，必须进行改造，以便为所有参与者服务.可见作者对于Sci-Hub的成功采取否定态度，正确选项Bconcerned担忧，担心。Arelieved宽慰的，Cpuzzled困惑的属错误选项，Dencouraged鼓励的，正反混淆
29推断题Aallowpublisherssomeroomtomakemoney
根据题干关键词openaccess定位到第四段，最后一句...sothatthepublisherscanmakeaprofitbefore...,合理收取费用是未来出版商能够获利，A选项为同义替换。Brenderpublishingmucheasierforscientists使发表对科学家来说容易得多.Creducethecostofpublicationsubstantiality降低出版成本D.freeuniversitiesfromfinancialburdens使大学摆脱财政负担

Text3答案解析
31态度题Ahelplittletoreducegenderbias
32细节题Citmaygoagainsttheconstitution
根据题干中的关键词Californiameasures定位到原文第五段第二句，BecausetheCalifornialawappliestoallboards,...courtsarelikelytorulethatthelawviolatetheconstitutionalguaranteeof"equalprotection"violate违反宪法，选项Cagainst替换violate为正确选项
33.例证题Dtheneedlessnessofgovernmentinterventions
根据题干中catalyst替换到第7段，论点为上一句Thenumberofwomenoncorporateboardshasbeensteadilyincreasingwithoutgovernment.在没有政府的情况下，公司董事会中的妇女人数一直在稳步增加。可见D选项中theneedlessnessofgovernmentinterventions政府干预的不必要性
34细节题Ctheentryofunqualifiedcandidatesintotheboard
根据Norway定位到倒数第三段第一句，要求将性别作为董事会成员的主要资格，必然会导致私营部门董事会减少。紧接着下文董事会成员的机会越来越多，却没有合格的女性来担任董事会成员，由此可见会有不合格的人进入董事会，正确选项C不合格候选人进入董事会
35推断BFeasibilityshouldbeaprimeconcerninpolicymaking由最后一段可知，下次有人把企业配额作为促进性别平等的一种方式。请记住，这些基本上都是自私自利的措施，让他们的赞助商感觉良好，但其实并没有什么帮助。由此可知该政策并不可取，正确选项B可行性应是决策的首要考虑因素

Text4答案解析
36.【C】imposealevyontechmultinationals细节题。根据题干直接定位到第一段第一句话adigitalservicestax,whichwouldimposeanentirelynewtaxonlargemultinationalsthatprovidedigitalservices…;选项C中的“levy”和“tax”同义复现;“techmultinationals”和digitalservices同义复现。因此C为正确答案，奇遇选项均未体现。
37.【A】maytriggercountermeasuresagainstFrance推断题。根据提干定位到第二段，第二段第二句话butithasalreadysparkedsignificantcontroversy,…,whichinturncouldleadtotradesanctionsagainstFrance(这已经引起了巨大的反抗，…,反过来也会导致针对法国的贸易制裁)和选项A相一致;其中选项中的“trigger”和原文的“leadto”同义复现，“sanction”和“countermeasure”同义复现。其余选项均未体现。
38.【B】thecurrentinternationaltaxsystemneedsupgrading细节题。根据题干定位到第四段最后一句话“theyallshareaviewthattheinternationaltaxsystemhasfailedtokeepupwiththecurrenteconomy(他们都认为国际税收体系并未跟上当前经济形势)。选项B目前的国际税收体系需要升级是该句话的反义复现。其余选项均为体现。
39.【C】isfacedwithuncertainprospects细节题。根据提干定位到第五段最后一句话”raisequestionsaboutwhatthefutureholdsfortheinternationaltaxsystem(对于国际税收体系的未来充满疑虑)”和选项C相一致。其中选项中的“uncertain”和原文中的“raisequestions”同义复现，“prospects”和原文中的“future”同义复现。

PartB答案解析
41.答案：C.Eyecontactcanbeafriendlysocialsignal
解析：本段第三句说了，“canbeacomplimentarysignificantofpayingattention”，此外本段最后一句也说：眼神接触和微笑能signalavailabilityandconfidence发送可用性和自信的信号。都说明眼神接触是个友善的社交信号。因此选C。
42.答案：E
解析：本段第一句就出现了hormone荷尔蒙，此外，本段中出现的oxytocin催产素，hign-functioning高官能，autisticspectrumsymptoms自闭症谱系症状等词都说明是在聊生物因素。最后一句中还有explore探索，brainscanning脑部扫描。所以选E
43.答案：G

44.答案：A
解析：本段第一句就提到了time，第二句清楚地说到了Thesepausestypicallyoccurataboutthreepersecond，通常每秒三次，充分说明很快，所以选A。
45.答案：D
解析：第一句话中就有personality。在引用中转折之后，buttheirbrainreactionsalsodiffer人们脑部反应不同，最后一句话更加明确说到高负能量的人更觉得被人直视令人不舒服。因此选D。

解析：
2020年考研英语已经结束啦，相信同学们在考场上看到考题会信心满满。因为从内容上来讲，今年的英语一大作文依然延续2019年的出题思路，考查了品质类话题的图画作文，而不同的地方在于2019年是一幅图，但今年却是两幅图相反。从难度上来说，今年和去年持平，对于“习惯”的英语表达，相信大家都不陌生是“habit”。
另外，注意大作文的评分侧重点。考研大纲指出：B节作文的评分侧重点在于信息点的完整、内容组织的连贯、语言的准确性、语言的多样性。字迹工整，少涂抹痕迹也很关键哦。
