第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项
A
For some people, there’s no better companion than mans best friend-a dog. This four-legged pet can bring comfort and joy and provide much- needed exercise for you when it needs walkies! This probably explains why dog ownership increased last year because people spent more time at home during he CovID-I9 lockdown.
However, as demand for a new dog increased, so did the price tag. Popular breeds, such as Cockapoos and Cocker Spaniels, saw even sharper price increases, and puppies have been selling for $3,000 or more.
Animal welfare charities fearthat high prices could encourage puppy farming, smuggling (走私) or dog theft. An investigation found some breeders have been selling puppies and kittens on social media sites--something charities have called “extremely irresponsible”.
But despite some new owners purchasing a dog legally, maybe from a rescue center or registered breeder, they’ve proved to be ill-prepared for life with a new pet, and the pet itself has found it hard tocome to terms withlife in a new home.
Looking to the future, there are concerns about the welfare of these much-loved pets. Lan Alkin manager of the Oxfordshire Animal Sanct uary in the UK, notes: “At the moment, the dogs are having a great time, but separation anxiety could still surface when people go back to work.” And Cliare Calder from the UKs Dogs Trust rescue charity says, “The economic situation also means that some people may find they can’t afford to look after
a dog.” The message is not to buy a dog in haste and to pick one that fits into our lifestyle.
1. The greater demand for dogs can cause the following problems except ________.
A. illegal trade of dogs
B. less dog farming
C. high prices of dogs
D. online sale of dogs
2. What does the underlined phrase"come to terms with"in paragraph 4 mean?

C. Make up for.
D. End up with
3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Despite the problems, dogs are living happily.
B. The writer has a positive attitude towards dogs future.
C. Experts are worried that dogs will be unaffordable to people.
D. The writer advises people to think twice before keeping dogs as pets.
B
When rescuers were called to rescue a “little owl”, they did not expect to find one that was too fat to fly. A concerned citizen first spotted the poor bird lying helplessly. Even Rufus Samkin, whose team then took the team in on Jan.3, believed the bird to be injured. There were no wounds to be found, however, causing experts to believe the female owl was simply too wet to fly.
But it was only after a thorough drying-off and complete checkup that they noted the real issue. The rescuers weighed the owl and concluded that she was “simply extremely obese” and couldn’t take off. This additional weight left her unable to fly, though experts began to wonder how she got so fat in the first place. Because it’s rather unusual for wild birds to reach such a state, they decided to keep her a few weeks and monitor her.
In the end, the rescuers assessed that it was simply a case of “natural obesity”. December 2019 was quite warm, which meant that there were many insects for the bird to feast upon. Indeed, the owl was discovered in a field that was “filled with field mice” due to the usual climate. “It’s been very mild here, and the owl is able to find foods easily,” Samkin explained. With the sudden food, “she ly ate much and got very fat. She had a lovely time, but went too far.”
The researchers consequently put the owl on a “strict diet” so she could shrink to a more “natural weight”. She was even put on a bit of exercise and encouraged to fly around. In the end, the bird was sent flying gracefully off into the British countryside at a much healthier and happier weight. Hopefully, this owl won’t come upon another feast of field mice—unless she wants another few weeks at the fat camp.
4. What did people think happened to the owl at first?
A. She was hurt.
B. She was trapped.
C. She was hungry.
D. She was wet.
5. Why was the bird unable to fly?
A. She needed a thorough checkup.
B. She should be given a drying-off.
C. She was completed overweight.
D. She was simply extremely strong.
6. What made the owl have enough foods?
A. The especially warm weather.
B. The reducing number of insects.
C. The rich fields growing crops.
D. The lovely time the bird enjoyed.
7. How did the owl loseits weight?
A. Going on a diet and exercising.
B. Flying in the British countryside.
C. Visiting that fat camp again.
D. Enjoying her wonderful feast freely.
C
If you could travel back in time, which period of history would you visit? It’s a great question to ask your friends, and time travel is the subject of many science fiction films. Of course, sci-fi is familiar to most of us, butwhat is cli-fi? The simple answer is climate fiction which focuses on the subject of climate change.
Many of the cli-fi examples we watch tend to be disaster films. It could be solar flares (太阳耀斑), ice ages devastating (摧毁) the planet, extreme flooding swamping the earth with water, or super-storms that threaten life as we know it. While films and novels of this style are often subject to the typical images of a hero or heroine battling to save the day, what sets it apart from most sci-fi films is that the plots will often draw on apparently reasonable outcomes in the near future.
Climate change and the potential threats have long been established. Some believe that the issue of climate change has even led to more fans watching films to learn more about what's happening to the world – seeing it as a form of edutainment. A study conducted by the Yale programme on Climate Change Communication tested the effects that two climate fiction novels can have on its readers and found “significant positive effects” in terms of their attitudes and beliefs towards the climate crisis – for example, understanding global warming will harm them and future generations.
Most climate films are not only extremely popular action films, but also cause our fear of what some see as the approaching end of the world. This sounds bad, but according to a study conducted on 310 adults in the US, watching such scary films can help us feel more prepared and less alone in situations such as the pandemic (疫情). So, it looks like cli-fi is hereto stay – and there seem to be some benefits. Whether it’s there to educate, entertain or prepare you for a climate crisis, it might have a role to play.
8. Which of the following may be the subject of cli-fi?
A. Time travel.
B. Global warming.
C. Weather forecast.
D. Economic climate.
9. What can we learn about cli-fi films from paragraph 2?
A. They are often about extreme natural disasters.
B. They want to show that man can conquer nature.
C. They usually have similar plots with sci-fi films.
D. They can show the true near future of the world.
10. Why is the study conducted by the Yale programme mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To prove that climate change has potential threats.
B. To show that people like climate fiction novels.
C. To tell that cli-fi novels have positive effects on readers.
D. To explain how the climate crisis affect the human being.
11. What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Cli-fi films are very popular as action films.
B. A study was conducted on 310 adults in theUS.
C. The pandemic make people scared and alone.
D. Cli-fi films are useful and will be here to stay.
D
I was in the second year of my Ph. D. program when a colleague asked what I would do if I had an extra hour every day. Without much consideration, I said I would use it to help others. The question kept coming to my mind. Like many graduate students, I was overwhelmed (难以承受的) with research, teaching, coursework, and some attempt at a personal life. Still, I asked myself, "Do I really need a 25th hour to help other people-or do I need to make better use of the 24 hours I have?"
I needed something to help me return to my old self. After that conversation with my colleague, I googled (谷歌搜索) “volunteer opportunities near me”. A local organization that drives people to stores or appointments was looking for volunteers. Having grown up in a rural village where everyone knew oneanother and my grandparents were always close by, I thought serving senior citizens in my new hometown might be just what I needed.
A short time later, I started to volunteer for an organization that provides transportation for senior citizens and people with disabilities. To my surprise, adding this activity to my busy life was just what I needed to calm the confusion I was feeling as a first-generation international graduate student.
I started to volunteer about 3 hours every weekend, the time I otherwise would have wasted oversleeping or scrolling (滚屏) through social media. Sharing stories with my riders was much more rewarding. What they told me about their lives helped me realize that in every corner of the world, humans are connected with the languageof emotions. And seeing how eager my riders were to spend time out and about inspired me to think about how to spend my time, which used to slip away. My previously overwhelming schedule began to feel manageable.
I'm proud of who I have become, and I continue to reflect on how I'm using the most valuable thing in life: my time.
12. Why did the author ask himself the question in Paragraph 1?
A. He wanted to return to normal life.
B. He was busy but wanted to help others.
C. He couldn't bear too much school work.
D. He couldn't answer his colleague's question.
13. How did the author find the volunteer job?
A. A colleague recommended it.
B. A local organization offered it.
C. He got it from his grandparents.
D. He got it by surfing on the Internet.
14. What made the author feel his volunteer job was worth doing?
A. Communicating with his riders.
B. Improving his language learning.
C. Meeting his grandparents often.
D. Realizing his previous dream.
15. How did volunteering influence the author?
A. It helped himbecome confident and efficient.
B. He found a good way to live a free and quiet life.
C. He realized he had wasted too much time pursuing his Ph.
D.
D. It inspired him to spare more time to accompany his grandparents.

第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
A few weeks ago, my eldest son, who is in his first year teaching fourth grade in a public elementary school,____41.____(decide) to put a suggestion box in his classroom, though he wasn't quite sure____42.____the
box would yield. The result was not so much suggestions as appeals____43.____kindness. From "Lots of people don't mind their own business" to "I am stressed out because everybody keeps arguing about little things," there was a class-wide desire for compassion, even if there is no clear sense of how to get it.
As a new teacher, my son is routinely surprised by things his 9-year-old students do, but more than anything he is surprised by how badly they treat one another. The children want to be on the receiving end of kindness but have trouble____44.____(hand) it out. On a daily basis, they____45.____(trip) up by three obstacles: lack of impulse control, thoughtlessness; and difficulty with forgiveness or letting things go.
The episode reminds me of the well-known Henry James quote: "Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind." I think of these words when I'm with my kids, or just being a human in our world, struggling to understand____46.____kindness is learned or innate(与生俱来的), or a little bit of both. Shortly after last year's election, I bought a book called On Kindness. The authors also present a tour of kindness through the ages, from the Stoics through today,____47.____yields one surprising truth: kindness, which seems immutable(永恒不变的) a part of the human experience as love or hate, joy or sorrow, is subject to cultural shifts, governed by the thinking and mood of the age.
Published back in 2009, On Kindness ends on something of a down note when it gets to our moderntimes. In our____48.____(strive) for success, we have become so individualistic, too selfish, loath to admit that we are dependent on anyone, which brings me back to my eldest son. Twenty-two years old, he is all too aware of what gets lost in growing up, and so he wrestles daily with how to promote and sustain a feeling of kindness in his classroom, for these children who are our future. His students are extremely sympathetic when one of____49.____peers is upset. "They are very good at comforting each other," my son recently told me. "But it's like they_____50._____destroy each other first."

Next morning, Amy went to school cursing（咒骂）everyone possible for having to go to school. Even in school, Amy had a reputation（名声）of sorts for all the wrong reasons. She slept in class and did not finish her work. In playtime, Amy had to go out and play, but she tried to find an excuse saying that she was tired when someone caught her walking away.

【61题详解】
考查固定搭配。

句意：令我吃惊的是，我们分开这么多年后，他还记得我的生日。

“to + one’s +情感名词”，“令某人……”，固定搭配。

故将In改为To。

【62题详解】
考查及物动词。

句意：她性格像她母亲，但外表不像。

resemble看起来像，及物动词，其后直接加宾语，无需用介词like。

故删除like。

【63题详解】
考查可数名词的数。

句意：这出戏得到许多差评后，很快就彻底失败了。

many后需接可数名词复数。

故将review改为reviews。

【64题详解】
考查动名词的被动语态。

句意：他故意不理睬她的电话，因为他不想被打扰。

feel like doing sth.想要做某事，固定搭配，此处表示被打扰，所以like后需用being done。

故在disturbed前加being。

【65题详解】
考查固定搭配。

句意：她宁愿步行去那里也不愿坐公共汽车。

would rather do sth. than do sth.宁愿做某事而不愿做某事，固定搭配。

故将took改为take。

【66题详解】

故将what改为that。

【67题详解】
考查动名词。

句意：我们从来没有想到像他这样的人会自己做这个实验。

imagine sb. doing sth.想象某人做某事，固定搭配。

故将perform改为performing。

【68题详解】
考查定语从句。

分析句子结构可知，本句先行词是ten magazines，指物，关系词代替它在从句中充当主语，且位于介词of之后，需用which引导非限制性定语从句。

故将who改为which。

【69题详解】
考查副词。

句意：这本字典很值得买。

worth值得的，表示程度时，其前需用副词well，不用very。

故将very 改为well。

【70题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。

句意：这个女孩和她的父母每年夏天都去海滩。

由时间状语every summer可知，本句谓语动词需用一般现在时态，as well as连接两个并列的主语时，谓语动词需用“就远原则”，所以此处谓语动词的形式取决于The girl，单数，谓语动词需用第三人称单数goes。

故将go改为goes
52.略。
