A
China’s Yangtze River is the world’s third longest river. It is home to more than 400 kinds of fishes. And the Chinese paddlefish(长江白鲟) was once common in the Yangtze River. Because of human activity, its number dropped greatly. Scientists could hardly find them. Finally, this past January, a piece of sad news came in: The fish went extinct between 2005 and 2010. “It’s very sad,”said Zeb Hogan, a US biologist(生物学家). “We’ve lost a valuable animal. There is no hope of backing to the old days.”
The Chinese paddlefish was one of the world’s largest freshwater fishes. It could grow to seven meters. It was known for its big nose. For this reason, many people called it the “elephant fish”. The Chinese paddlefish was an ancient kind of fish. It first appeared in the Jurassic period(侏罗纪时期). After lived on the earth for 200 million years, the animal finally went extinct because of human activity.
Started from 1970, humans caught about 25 tons(吨) of paddlefish each year. That mainly caused the great loss of the fish. And in 1981, the building of the Gezhouba Dam(葛洲坝) made the paddlefish become two groups. The two groups could not reproduce(繁殖). What’s more, the Yangtze River was seriously polluted by nearby people. As a result, the population of the fish became smaller and smaller.
Scientists said that many freshwater fish in the Yangtze River are in danger. The Chinese paddlefish was only the first to disappear. Luckily, China has taken action. From January 2020 to 2030, nobody can go fishing on the Yangtze River.
46. What do we know about Yangtze River?
A. It is one of the third longest rivers in China.
B. Less than 400 kinds of fishes once lived in it.
C. There is a no fishing rule for 10 years on it.
47. The underlined word “extinct”in the passage means _______ in Chinese.
A. 生存
B. 灭绝
C. 塑造
48. Which is NOT TRUE about the Chinese paddlefish according to the passage?
A. It was a freshwater fish and could be as long as seven meters.
B. It got the name of “elephant fish”because of its big body.
C. It lived on the earth for a long time but we can’t find them now.
49. The Chinese paddlefish became fewer and fewer mainly because _______.
A. people caught quite a lot of it every year from 1970
B. people built Gezhouba Dam on the Yangtze River
C. people have polluted the living environment of it
50. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Freshwater fish in China.
B. A Piece of Sad News for humans.
C. The importance of protecting the nature.
B
Since COVID-19 hasn’t yet been brought under control in the West, the number of patients with it is getting larger and larger, movie theaters are still closed and there are no sports games on TV. People have to stay at home during the break. But they always want some fun and do some exercise in their daily lives. Some of them have come up with creative ideas. Alex Presley is a man living in Cornelius, North Carolina. He has been holding an “Olympic Games”at home. One of the events is called “toilet paper dodgeball(躲避球).”Alex, his wife, twin brother and parents throw rolls of toilet paper at each other. The rules are simple: Once you are hit by a roll of toilet paper, you are out. To make the game more challenging, the Presleys spin(快速旋转) in circles do dizzy(使头晕) themselves before playing.
Alex created videos of the game and posted them online. He hopes more people can join them. In the videos, the five players run around the living room. Shouts mix with the noise of rolls hitting the windows and walls. The family’s game became famous on the Internet soon.
The “Olympic Games”began in early April this year after Alex suggested his family do something unusual. Because the days of staying at home were so boring. Their first event was the “Straw(吸管) Challenge.”Its videos have drawn more than 7.5 million views.
The Presleys are now thinking of new events; Alex says they try to keep the games simple. In this way, other families can try to play them and everyone can be a player.
51. Why do people in the West have to stay at home?
A. Because they close the movie theaters.
B. Because there aren’t any sports shows.

B. They provide fun and exercise for people at home.
C. There are only two events at the“Olympic Games”.
53. How does Alex make“toilet paper dodgeball”more difficult to play?

A. ask more people to watch them in the living room
B. make his family become popular with people soon
C. welcome more people become a member of them
55. From the passage, we can infer(推出) that _______.

（共5小题，计10分）Twenty years have flown by since pop star Jay Chou released(发行) his first album. However, as “the King of Asian Pop”, his influence seemingly hasn’t faded(消退).
On June 12, the 41-year-old Chou released his latest song Mojito online, along with a music video that was filmed in Havana, Cuba. More than 3 million people bought the song within the first day of its release.
Named after a famous Cuban cocktail(鸡尾酒), the song has a strong Latin flavor(拉丁风情). The song’s rapping vocals(说唱部分) and Latin style are also familiar to his older fans. They love the song, saying that it reminds them of when they were crazy about Chou’s music in their youth. In the video, Chou rides in a pink vintage car(老爷车) with his friends. They are joined by local musicians playing traditional instruments. They explore Havana and visit a bar in Havana. The famous US author Ernest Hemingway used to drink there.
However, some music critics(评论家) think the song is mediocre(平庸的). “Not so bad, not so amazing. Its lyrics and melody(旋律) are typical, so it sounds familiar, but lacks spirit,”said Fangzhou, a music show host for CRI.
Chou once said he would release one album every year. But since 2017, he has released just one song each year. From then on, fans have had four new songs. They have sold well, but received mixed reviews. Some believe that Chou’s inspiration(灵感) has used up. Still, Chou has future album release plans. “If I am going to release something new, it’s going to be an album!”he said.
