Cowboys, Policemen, Princesses and Superheroes are all characters kids choose to be on any given day. Putting on a play can be a fun activity that lets them act out their favorite characters as well as use their artistic ability to create the stage.
Best of all, they will be able to use their favorite line “look at me” as the audience sits down to enjoy the show.
Help your kids decide on a play they would like to act out. Use the Internet or library to find scripts (剧本) for older reading kids. For younger kids, you can act out a favorite story or fairy tale. Of course, you could always help them write their own script.
Decide how many characters are needed. Invite neighbors and friends to be in your play or let your kids play more than one character. Make sure you teach them to change the way they look, move and speak so the audience can tell the difference.
Search for costume (服装) and prop (道具). Find old clothes from your closet or attic (阁楼), or go to a garage sale. Help everyone make a mask or put on makeup to represent their character.
Get creative. Make tickets, invitations, movie p osters and props for your kids’ play. You can even decorate a curtain and hang in front of the stage. Set up chairs for
the audience. Invite the audience to sit down and enjoy the play.

Swimming to Survive
When humpback whales migrate (迁徙), they only travel 100 miles in about 24 hours.
Some humpback whales migrate from Costa Rica to Antarctica without stopping. That’s over 5,000 miles! Other humpbacks travel from Hawaii to Alaska, a distance of
Whales live in all of Earth’s oceans. Each group has its own migration route ( 路线). The map shows routes taken by humpbacks in the North Pacific Ocean.
From North to South
How does migration help humpback whales survive? They spend the winter in warm water. This is where they have their babies. When summer comes, the whales head back to colder waters. There they feed on tiny fish and shrimp called krill. Lots of krill live in these icy waters.
Why do the whales make this long trip every year? Without it they would be
hungry to death. One whale needs about 3,000 pounds of food a day. The whales fatten up on krill before leaving the cold waters. As they migrate, they leave off the fat stored in their bodies.
Do whales ever get lost? Scientists are unsure how the whales know which direction to head. Maybe they learn the routes from traveling with older whales.
Protecting the Whales
Years ago, whales were killed for their blubber, or fat and their meat. Most hunters didn’t realize the influence hunting had on the whale population (数量).
By 1966 only about 1,400 humpbacks remained in the North Pacific. To protect humpbacks, the whales were listed as an endangered species (濒危物种). It is now against the law to kill a humpback. As a result, the number of whales has greatly increased. About 21,000 humpbacks live in North Pacific today. As a precaution, all humpbacks are still listed as endangered.
29.How does moving to cold waters influence the whale population?
A.It lets them cool off.
B.It helps them stay fit.
C.It helps them lose weight.
D.It provides food they need.
30.Read the underlined sentence in the article. If caution means “a warning about a
problem”, what does precaution mean?
A.After warning about a problem.
B.Warning about a problem again.
C.A warning before a problem happens.
D.Being against warning about problems.
31.What is the main idea of the article?
A.Migration helps whales live.
B.We must save humpback whales.
C.Whales survive only by swimming.
D.Whales migrate thousands of miles.

English schools prepare for return after six-month break Now schools in England are preparing to welcome back pupils after nearly six months out of the classroom.
The education secretary Gavin Williamson insisted that students were returning to a safe environment, and said the reopening of schools was a massive milestone.
Teachers have been returning today with most children due back from tomorrow to the end of the week, as our education reporter Branwen Jefferys tells us: Kirsty’s getting ready for the new term to welcome her class back to lessons and sending her own son back to his school.
“As a teacher, as a parent, I’m really happy for my son to return. He’s really excited to see his friends and just getting stuck back in with the leaning.”
From morning drop off onwards, it’s all changing. You can see signs, warning parents they can’t come beyond the gates.
For their hea d, an extra cost to making the school safe. “Things like sanitizer, soap, paper towels, tissues. We have to have an awful lot of that if you think that we’re going to have 400 plus children washing their hands at least six times a day.”
Ava is getting ready to start secondary school. Her mum is a bit worried but trying to stay positive: “She’s not actually worried about starting school. She’s worried about the COVID preparations and if she’ll be behind in her work at all, and not the actual start of school.”
So what happens if a case is confirmed (确定)?
Schools will have to ask close contacts (接触) of the person who’s tested positive (阳性) to self-isolate (自我隔离). Close contact means face-to-face contact within a meter of the infected (感染的) person for more than 15 minutes, or direct skin-to-skin contact, proximity contact, that’s spending more than 15 minutes under two meters from the infected person and traveling in a small vehicle like a car with an infected person.
Getting schools open, pupils back, is one social challenge. Dealing with next year’s exams is another. Delay is on the cards with answers expected soon.
Brandwen Jeffreys, BBC News.

Did you know that when you surf the web,
websites in some countries put secret software on your
computer? The software collects a large amount of
information about you and sends it to internet
companies. The internet companies sell it to other businesses. Your personal information can also be gathered from social media sites. There are many ways your information can be used.
First, companies collect your information and record all your online habits. They find out where you live, what websites you visit and what you do online. With this information, they can guess other things about you. For example, they can guess if you are male or female, how old you are and your interests. The companies use this information to decide which ads are best for you. Two people can go to the same website, but they will see different ads. For example, someone who likes sports could see ads for trainers, and someone who likes films might see ads for a film.
Your personal information could also be sold. Some companies collect information just so they can sell it to other businesses. A business that collects and sells personal information is called a data broker. When data brokers sell your information, a lot of different companies will know your online habits. Then the companies will advertise products or other websites to you.
Another way your personal information can be collected is through social media. When your information is on social media, a lot of people can see it. Even if you don’t use social media, a friend might post a picture or video of you with your name on it. Pictures and videos can be shared for free on social media, which is one of the great advantages. However that same act of sharing could be a problem for your own security (安全). If someone knows too much about you, they steal your identity. Then they can buy things online and post messages while pretending (假装) to be you.
. The law is finally changing when it comes to technology. In the European Union, for example, they have introduced the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This rule means that internet users can now ask companies to show them what information they have about them and even make them delete it. If other countries do the same, the internet could soon be a much safer place.
36.According to paragraph 2, what will the companies find by collecting your
information?
① age and hobbies ② online activities ③ address ④ job
A. ①②③
B. ①②④
C. ①③④
D. ②③④
37.Your personal information can be directly collected through the following
EXCEPT .
A. social media
B. websites
C. advertisement companies
D. secret software
38.Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A.Date brokers can make money by selling personal information to other
businesses.
B.Data brokers can’t get your information if your friend posts a video of you
with your name on it.
C.According to GDPR, we can ask companies to delete our personal information
they have collected online.
D.Different people can see different ads on the same websites because their
online habits have been gathered.
39.Which sentence is the most suitable for the beginning of the last paragraph?
A.However, it’s not all bad news.
B.Anyway, every coin has two sides.
C.Actually, different people have different opinions.
D.Indeed, people believe things are changing for the worse.
40.This article mainly tells us .
A.what personal information may be collected online
B.how companies buy and sell our personal information
ws have been made to protect our personal information online
D.we should keep away from social media to protect our personal information

五、阅读填空(共20 小题；每小题 1 分，满分20 分)
A)阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后第56-65 小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为56-65 的相应位置上。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词
Hybrid or Electric
Many people know that burning gasoline (汽油) causes pollution. These people are giving serious consideration to buying an electric or a hybrid car (混合动力车).
Electric cars run on batteries rather than gas. These batteries send electricity to an electric motor. When they get low on energy, they must be plugged in to recharge (再充电).
The two main types of hybrid cars run on both gas and electricity. One type uses mostly electricity. It must be plugged in to recharge its batteries. The electric motor turns the wheels. The gas engine helps create electricity. The other type of hybrid gets most of its power from a small gas engine. An electric motor serves as support. The gas engine recharges the batteries while the car is running.
Neither the electric car nor the hybrid is a new invention. In fact, the electric car has been around since the 1880s. The cost of gas keeps going up. This makes more people interested in buying electric and hybrid cars. More people are worried about pollution, too. That’s why carmakers offer more electric and hybrid cars every year. Advantages of an Electric Car
Electric cars cost very little to recharge. They also create almost no pollution. These are often called neighborhood cars. Older models run for about 40 miles (64 kilometers) on one charge. Newer models run up to 200 miles (322 kilometers) on one charge. The electirc car can use any electrical outlet to recharge.
Electric cars run very quietly. They also cost less to maintain because they have fewer moving parts. This makes the car more dependable. However it can cost as much as ten thousand dollars to replace the batteries in these cars!
Advantages of Hybrid Cars
Hybrid cars refuel at any gas station. In fact, they can run on gas for as long as necessary. Gas-powered engines require upkeep. Plus, the battery for these cars costs
the same as an electric car battery.
Electric and hybrid cars have one other similarity. Both cost more than gas-powered cars. But they are becoming less expensive each year.
Drivers who don’t travel very far might find an electric car will meet their needs. Some drivers don’t want to worry about recharging. They also travel farther from home. A hybrid car would be a good choice for these people. The important thing is to choose the car that is right for you!
B)根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为66-75 的相应位置。

Less is more. This is why we say: reduce things by h 66 instead of doubling them, relax instead of stressing, and slow down instead of speeding up. Here are some tips which can help you live a satisfying life.
Separate your actions
When you focus on one task, you find you have more energy that you didn’t even know you had. Just i 67 : you are at a market and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards. If you keep catching one and then the other, it will take forever, because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off. But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your strength and make a dash ( 冲刺) for the finishing line, pause for a moment, run back to get and carry the other one to the finishing line, then you can surely s 68 .
Learn to say “No”
If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for a 69 _ you need to do, then it’s not because the day has too few hours, b 70 because you have too many activities. The solution is simple: When you f 71 so many tasks
in your private life or your working life, try to refuse to accept so many work assignments.
Allow yourself to be weak
Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are u 72 more stress than you can deal with. These signals can come from different areas of life. You become ill, or your work can’t be c72 . If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals. Say quite openly, “I can’t manage that.”
Stop e 73 everything to be perfeet
“If only I were slimmer, more beautiful, richer, more clever, then I would be h 75 .” This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill, depressed, and unhappy. Life is not perfect, only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life.
Follow these small tips in your everyday life, it will be easy for you to find yourself well along on your journey to satisfaction.

Part 2 重难点解析
单项填空
1. A
解析：Taking photos of the art (which is ) displayed is not allowed. 即禁止对画廊gallery 中展览出的艺术品进行拍摄。

10.D 喜欢
解析：第一个空prefer 在这里只需要表示为“喜欢”即可，第二个空意思是因为价格过高我宁愿不选择它，would rather not do.
11.C
解析：首先考查be worth doing 值得被做，再加上listen to the song，因为listen 时不及物动词，介词to 不可省略。

14. B
解析：考查阅读技能，题目要求是在一篇文章里找到特定的细节，就要使用到scanning“寻读”。

完形填空
17 A 和前一句话之间有一个although 作为连词，表示转折关系。

即尽管Angela 觉得自己很有可能康复，但医生认为几乎不可能，所以用否定词few 代指few people。

if any 作为插入语表示“即使有的话”
22.A 一开始可能看不懂故事的发展，但读到下文就知道，Angela 以为自己的床在晃动这一奇迹其实是因为地震。

所以当时医院里的每个人都非常害怕
23.C 所以大家都正向奔跑逃命，for safety 表示为了寻找安全，表示做事目的
24.B 并且各种仪器设备都在往下掉落fall
阅读理解
31. A 主旨题。

首先看标题swimming to survive 就提到了游泳即迁移是humpback 座头鲸的生存方式，文章里用图片和文字介绍了迁徙的路线和原因。

最后一段比较有误导性，提到了保护鲸鱼的话题，但因为比例不是很大，不能作为主旨概括全文大意。

34.A 态度推断题通过最后一段getting schools open, pupils back ,is one social challenge，说明人们觉得这件事情是challenging 有挑战性的。

本题易误选为nervous 紧张不安的，但这个是人们的心理态度，不是对这件事的看法
37. C 推断题你的个人信息【无法】通过哪个渠道直接获得。

这道题文章中没有直接的表达，但是第二段倒数第三行the companies use this information to decide which ads are best for you，可以看出公司会根据获得的个人信息来决定对他展示的广告内容是什么，所以广告公司获得信息的来源。

填空
44.decisions. 根据后面的助动词don’t可以判断出来主语是复数，所以是decisions.
45.achieving. devote to doing sth. achieving 要注意拼写问题。

48. eighties. in one’s 整十的复数表示的是在某人……的时候。

任务型阅读
56.instead. 定位到原文第二段第一行rather than 可以得出是选择电池而不是汽油。

所以是instead of。

57.enough. 定位到第二段第二行，get low on energy 可以得出是能源不够，所以是enough。

58.create.定位到第三段第三行help create electricity 可知是create。

59.reasons. 根据表格右边的表述可以得出描述的是选择混合和电车的理由，the reason for.后面是2 个原因，要用复数。

60.rising/increasing.定位到原文第四段第二行，可以keeps going up 可以得知是成本增加，所以是rising/increasing.
61.worrying.定位到原文第四段第三行people are worried about pollution。

Of 是介词，所以是worrying。

be worried about= worry about
62.Advantages. 原文词，表格右边描述的是两种车的优点。

63.farther. 定位到原文第五段第三行可以知道一块电池的量下，新型车跑的要比旧车要远。

所以是farther, 表示空间距离时也可以用further
64.expensive. 定位到原文第七段第二行, costs the same , 所以说是一样贵。

65.needs. 定位到原文最后一行，choose the car that is right for you 可以得出是根据自己的需要选择正确的车。

首字母填空：
66.half. 根据后面instead of doubling 可以得出是减少一半，所以是by half. 66. imagine.你会发现自己有不知道的更多的能量，后文提到你在市场，必须要带着超过100 yard 的两头猪，所以这个是想像的场景，所以是imagine。

68.succeed. 根据句意是把一个先放下冲刺，在回头去带着另一个去冲刺，结局就是一定会成功，而不是拖着两个艰难前行，所以是succeed。

69.all. 根据句意，你觉得一天24 小时对你所有必须要做的所有东西来说，时间是不够的。

70.but. 前面是not because 后文是but because，not but 表示不是……而是……。

71.face. 后文说要拒绝去接受这么多的工作任务，所以是面临很多的任务的时候。

72.under. be under stress 表示处在压力之下，
pleted. 如果生病了，工作任务不可能完成，所以是completed。

74.expecting.根据文段的意思，要停止期待一切事情都是完美的。

Stop doing 表示停止正在做的。

75.happier. 如果你自己又瘦又美，很有钱又聪明，那一定是是非常开心。

前面都是比较级，所以要注意用比较级。
