In 1981, the Chinese women’s volleyball team first stood on the top at the World Cup. And in 2019, it defended (保住) its World Cup crown with a record of 11 wins. The women’s volleyball team has been the pride of the Chinese people. To honor it, a film named Zhongguo Nvpai or Leap in English has been made.
Based on the volleyball team’s stories, the film shows the struggles (奋斗) and achievements of the Chinese women’s volleyball team over the past 40 years. Gong Li, a world-famous Chinese actress, plays the role of Lang Ping, who has won the world championships many times with the team and is now the team’s head coach. In order to play the role well, Gong came to the training site of the team, observing Lang’s words and deeds carefully.
Zhu Ting, captain of the Chinese women’s volleyball team, also plays a part in the film. It is the first time that she has taken part in a film shooting and she says it’s a little bit difficult. However, her playing volleyball is more difficult than being an actress. It took her at least 10 years to rise to fame in the field but playing herself in the film could be realized in a short time.
The film hit the screen in January, 2020. The Chinese women’s volleyball team not only is a competitive sports team but also shows the spirit of struggling and never giving up.

Do you know about Psephurus gladius? It’s a Chinese paddlefish known as “king of all national freshwater fish”. However, it is announced that the Chinese paddlefish living in the Yangtze River has become extinct (灭绝的).
A paper from Science of the Total Environment shows that the largest freshwater fish in China might have gone extinct between 2005 and 2010. Wei Qiwei, author of the paper, said in September, 2019, some experts supposed that the first-class protected fish had been extinct already.
The Chinese paddlefish was about 2 to 3 meters long and could grow longer than 7 meters. The fish had lived on the earth for 15 million years. The latest discovery of the fish was made in 2003. Scientists helped the fish to return and tried to track (追踪) it. Unluckily, a boat accident caused the tracking efforts to fail. Since then, no discovery has been reported and no such fish has been kept in captivity (圈养).
“The Chinese paddlefish was so big that it was hard to raise in captivity,” Wei said. Between 1984 and 1993, he once tried to save four fish, but only one stayed alive and returned to the river.
The extinction of the fish has called public attention as people expressed sadness over the death, hoping such animals would be better protected so that future generations could see them. From Jan 1, 2020, China began a 10-year fishing ban (禁令) on important areas of the Yangtze River to protect Biodiversity (生态多样性) in China’s longest river.
28.It can be learned from the passage that .
A.the Chinese paddlefish was hunted too much in the past
B.the Chinese paddlefish was the largest freshwater fish in the world
C.the Chinese paddlefish could grow to be over 7 meters in length
D.the Chinese paddlefish has never been seen so far
29.What happened after the boat accident mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A.Some scientists saved the fish.
B.People failed to track the fish.
C.The fish lost its life.
D.The fish was kept in captivity.
30.Why couldn’t the Chinese paddlefish be raised in captivity?
A.Because of its living habits.
B.Because of its large size.
C.Because of its special diet.
D.Because of the high cost.
31.What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To show people’s sadness about the fish’s death.
B.To explain how the fish died out.
C.To call on people to protect animals.
D.To introduce a first-class protected fish.
D
Scientists around the world are racing to create and test vaccines (疫苗) to help protect people against the novel coronavirus (新冠病毒). They are making progress, but it will be quite a while before any vaccines are ready.
4
英语试题第页（共8页）
There are many different ways to make vaccines. At least 115 different vaccines for the novel coronavirus are being developed around the world right now. Many of them may not work or may have side effects that can be dangerous. That is why testing is very important.
Before a vaccine is ever tested on humans, it’s first tested on animals to make sure it seems safe. Testing the vaccine on humans is done in several different phases (阶段). In Phase 1, a small group of people are given small amounts of the vaccine to see if it has any bad effects. Phase 2 still tests the vaccine’s safety, but it’s mainly a test to see if the vaccine seems to work. If Phase 2 goes well, the vaccine can begin Phase 3. During Phase 3, the vaccine is tried on a much larger group of people to see how well it works.
Because of the serious and worldwide impact (影响) of the novel coronavirus, there is huge pressure to develop a working vaccine quickly. It normally takes seven or more years to develop a safe vaccine that works well. Now drug companies are hoping to create working vaccines in 12 or 18 months.
But health experts also warn that rushing too much could be dangerous. A vaccine with harmful effects could cause more problems than it solves.
32.According to the passage, the scientists who are making vaccines are _______.
A. hard-working and careful
B. patient and easy-going
C. kind and curious
D. caring and brave
33. How long does it take to create working vaccines in the usual way?
A. Less than six years.
B. More than ten years.
C. Twelve to eighteen months.
D. About seven years.
34. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. There are only three phases in testing vaccines.
B. Working vaccines must be created in a short time.
C. Vaccines have already been developed.
D. Rushing too quickly in creating vaccines may bring more problems.
35. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Rush for a Vaccine
B. Fight against the Disease
C. Protect People against the Virus
D. Create Working Vaccines

第三节
One possible version:
Be a Virtue Teenager
Teenagers are the future of our motherland, and also the symbol of our city. What should we do to become a virtue teenager of our city?
At school, we should study hard and form good learning habits. In our spare time, we can do regular exercise to build up a good body. It’s our duty to help parents do some housework at home and we should always be thankful for what our parents have done for us. Parents will be happier if we can communicate more with them. Sometimes, if we make mistakes, we’d better face and correct them timely. What’s more, I suggest we obey the rules in public and don’t speak loudly. Last but not least, keep in mind that safety is first.
In my opinion, we are supposed to do all of the above. I sincerely hope everyone can join us and try to be a virtue teenager.
