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
Amid the coronavirus outbreak, the U. S. Department of Homeland Security recommends having at least a two - week supply of water and food.
Potatoes
Shelf life：2 to 5 weeks if stored in a cool, dry, dark place
Yukon Gold, red, and fingerling potatoes will last from two to three weeks. Larger white potatoes can last for three to five weeks. Sweet potatoes have about the same shelf life. Don't store them next to onions, however. The two might go together well in cooking, but raw, each gives off gases and moisture that might cause the other to spoil faster.
Tea
※Shelf life：6 to 12 months past "sell - by" date
Dried tea leaves, whether loose (in a sealed container) or in teabags (in an unopened box) can easily last a year or more if they' re not subjected to damp or humidity. However, the tea does tend to lose flavor over time.
Peanuts
● Shelf life：1 to 2 months
Peanuts in their shell, especially when kept cool and dry, are perfectly happy in the cupboard for as long as two months.
Canned fruits and vegetables
● Shelf life：1 to 2 years past "sell - by” date
Canningis an extremely efficient means of preserving food. Generally speaking, if canned foods aren't subjected to extreme heat, their contents should stay good for two years or more. Be aware, however, of dented cans or those with swollen tops, which may indicate the presence of bacteria inside.
1. Which can go bad faster if stored with onions?
A. Potatoes.
B. Tea.
C. Peanuts.
D. Canned fruits and vegetables.
2. What is special about tea?
A. The flavor of tea can always remain the same.
B. Tea leaves are better to be preserved in an open jar.
C. Tea leaves should be kept away from the state of being wet.
D. The maximum length of time that tea can be stored is 6 months.
3. What may shorten the "sell - by” date of canned foods ?
A. Shapes of cans.
B. Categories of foods.
C. Decline of the temperature.
D. Exposure to high temperature.
B
Preparations for the Tokyo Olympics have suffered another challenge after a survey found that 60% of people in Japan want them to be cancelled,less than three months before the Games are scheduled to open.
Japan has extended a state of emergency in Tokyo and several other regions until the end of May as it struggles to control a fast increase in COVID-19 cases caused by new, more catching variants（变异体）with medical staff warning that health services in some areas are on the edge of breaking down.
The Olympics, which were delayed by a year due to the pandemic, are set to open on 23 July, with the International Olympic Committee（IOC）and organizers insisting that measures will be put in place to ensure the safety of athletes and other visitors, as well as a nervous Japanese public.
The survey, conducted between 7 and 9 May by the conservative Yomiuri Shimbun, showed 60% wanted the Games cancelled as opposed to 39% who said they should be held. “Postponement” — an option abandoned by the IOC — was not offered as a choice.
Of those who said the Olympics should go ahead, 23% said they should take place without audience. Foreign audience have been banned but a final decision on native attendance will be made in June.
Another poll conducted at the weekend by TBS News found 65% wanted the Games cancelled or postponed again, with 37% voting to give up the event altogether and 28% calling for another delay. A similar poll in April conducted by Kyodo news agency found 70% wanted the Olympics cancelled or postponed.
The IOC's vice president, John Coates, said that while Japanese sentiment about the Games “was a concern”, he could foresee no situation under which the sporting events would not go ahead.
4. How many Japanese wish the Olympics would not be held in Tokyo according to the survey?
A. 60%.
B. 28%.
C. 37%.
D. 70%.
5. What should be put into consideration if the Olympics open?
A. The economic crisis.
B. The urban transport.
C. The safety of athletes.
D. The health condition of citizens.
6. What is some people's attitude towards foreign spectators in Paragraph 5?
A. Welcome.
B. Unfriendly.
C. Cold.
D. Unsupported.
7. What can we conclude from John Coates'words?
A. The Olympics will be stopped this year.
B. The Olympics will be put off.
C. The Olympics will be held normally.
D. The Olympics will take place in other place.
C
Avi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.
Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”
“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.
Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.
Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.
8. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?
A. It is an icy comet.
B. It looks like a long photo.
C. It is actually some sort of rock.
D. It may come from another alien civilization.
9. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Goes against.
B. Relies on.
C. Turns to.
D. Searches for.
10. What do you think of Loeb?
A. He is foolish.
B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.
C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.
D. He is uncertain about his career future.
11. What's the best title for the text?
A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?
B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?
C. Scientists Are Working on High Technology
D. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space Travel
D
Scientists have recently discovered thatAndean condors (秀鹫)— some of the world’s largest birds——barely flap their wings at all while flying. Instead, they use rising air currents to remain in the air for hours.
The Andean condor is the world’s largest soaring bird. They can weigh up to 15 kilograms. Their wings, when spread out, measure up to three meters. Their main food source is the meat of large animals which have died. Soaring high in the sky allows condors to easily spot possible meals on the ground.
Scientists worked together to study the flight patterns of these huge birds and how much effort the birds use when flying. To study the birds while they were in the sky, the researchers attached special devices which could record every beat of their wings.
The scientists learned that most of the condors’ flapping— over 75%— came when the birds were taking off. Once in the sky, the birds flew for very long periods of time without flapping at all. In fact, they only flapped their wings for 1% of the time they were in the air. One bird flew for over five hours without flapping, covering nearly 117miles.
Soaring without flapping is important because birds bum energy every time they flap their wings.
The birds’ soaring isn’t magic. They use the fact that hot air rises to keep themselves up. As hot air rises, it often creates “thermals”— currents of warm air moving upward. The condors soar by making use of these thermals. The tricky part is finding thermals and moving between them.
When birds are forced to land and take off again often, it costs them a lot of energy. The researchers learned that to avoid having to land, the condors did most of their non-take-off flapping when they were closer to the ground and looking for a new thermal.
The scientists reported that even though all of the condors they studied were young, they knew well how to take advantage of the air currents.
12. What can we learn about the Andean condor from the text?
A. They live mairly on small animals.
B. Their wingspan is at least three meters.
C. They rely on hot air to remain high in the sky.
D. They are the birds with the strongest flying ability.
13. Why was the equipment tied to the birds?
A. To measure how far they could fly without flapping.
B. To keep track of how often they flapped while flying.
C. To calculate the energy required for their flight.
D. To confirm their flight patterns.
14. Which of the following acts consumes the most energy for a condor?
A. Hunting for food.
B. Flying in the sky.
C. Getting off the ground.
D. Landing on the ground.
15. What can we infer from the text?
A. Condors flap the most when looking for a new thermal.
B. No condor can fly for more than five hours without flapping.
C. Condors don’t need to look for thermals when soaring in the sky.
D. Soaring by using thermals is probably a natural ability of condors.

选项中有两项为多余选项With final exams drawing near, many students are understandably anxious and stressed out. Some even feel unprepared and approach these days with a sense of dread. This feeling is often made worse by all those wishing you luck and insisting that you enter the arena filled with confidence and positive thinking._____16_____In fact, it’s a sign of intelligence.
You may notice that students with the lowest expectations often got the best results and vice versa. This makes total sense. Because you will focus on the subject when you have low expectation._____17_____Conversely, if you don’t know a lot about a subject, you might think it’s easier than it is, only to be struck dumb in panic when the questions actually are hard.
Nancy Cantor is a researcher that rejects this culture of unbridled optimism. She believes defensive pessimism is a good strategy, for people with low expectations prepare themselves for possible failure and are therefore motivated to work hard to avoid that failure.
_____18_____In 1991, the great footballing nation ofAustriawas humiliated in the European Cup by amateurs from theFaroe Islands—a group of fishermen who had never played football before. Before kickoff, the Austrian manager was on TV predicting that they would win the game 15:0. But they lost._____19_____This actually fired them up, giving them the courage to charge at their professional opponents, who were left dumb.
Great football managers never underestimate the opposition and neither should you. If you’re feeling anxious going into the exams, that’s a good sign, not a bad one._____20_____
A. The history of sport bears this out.
B. Pessimism is often seen as a negative trait in sports.
C. The fishermen had zero expectation of winning, and they had nothing to lose.
D. Actually, it’s OK to feel pessimistic going into a big exam or other difficult situations.
E. The more you know about a subject, the less likely you are to over-estimate your ability.
F. So, just believe the confidence for success comes from accepting the possibility of failure.
G. Pessimism can drive someone to make full use of their stress to help them become optimistic.

第二节书面表达（满分25分）
52.阅读下面短文，根据内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Not everyone is lucky and can claim that they share a great relationship with their own parents. As you age, your points of view on life may greatly differ from those of your parents. Due to the generation gap, there is a huge possibility of misunderstandings between parents and children. All these can lead to conflicts. So what can you do to get along well with your parents as a teenager?
First, make sure that your behavior is responsible and mature. Carry out the duties your parents have assigned to you. If you complete your daily chores on time, you will realize your parents don't blame you so much! Don't go out of the way to do something which your parents have forbidden you from doing.
As you enter your mid-teens, you will realize you want to be independent, from choosing what to eat for breakfast, to buying your clothes, and making new friends. This change is going to cause a conflict between you and your parents. Keep in mind that parents will not agree to your decisions right away. You will feel you have controlling parents, and that there is no way out of the situation. To avoid further conflicts, talk to them. Hear them out. It's the best way to solve a lot of problems. In addition, calm yourself down when conflicts occur. It might take some time for your parents to realize that their little kid is growing up and is entitled to his or her own opinions.
Make it a point to talk to your parents every day about your school life, friends, your day-to-day activities, your teachers, just about anything. If you're stressed about any problem at school, discuss it with your parents. They are the best people to help you out and deal with it.
In a word, love and respect your parents for what they are and everything they've done for you, and no doubt, they'll in turn respect you for turning into responsible adults.
