"I thought, let's try and make this young lady's day," Tony said. He got his kids together and sent out a series of cute texts that she would never forget.What he didn't know, however, was how this random act of kindness would impact on his family's lives. The missing child from the cute pictures Tony sent to Syd is called Kaizler, and the reason why he wasn't there, smiling broadly with a thumbs-up along with other children, is that he was with his mom Rachel in the hospital, where he is currently receiving a leukemia(白血病) treatment. "Kaizler is doing well," Tony said. "We still have about a year's worth of treatments to go. He really wanted to try going to kindergarten, so we gave that a shot, but he was getting sick way too often."Tony and the kids' sweet exchange with Syd went viral online, with people falling in love with the amusing and heartwarming way it unfolded. And now their good deed has had totally unexpected and amazing consequences. "Since this all started we've had over $ 3,000 donated to our little cancer patient," Tony explained. "That's more than we had got in total over the last 2 years. It's been amazing and is a bigger blessing than anyone could ever know. All your help and support are greatly appreciated."The reaction surprised Kaizler's mom Rachel very much. "I would also like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all the kind words, all the donations, all the love and support. We honestly would never have been able to make it this far in our journey without every single one of you!"4. Why did Tony reply to Syd's text?A. To praise her dress.B. To make her happy.C. To ask a favour of her.D. To persuade her to donate.5. What does the underlined phrase "went viral" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Appeared suddenly.B. Spread quickly.C. Updated regularly.D. Increased gradually.6. Which words can best describe Tony?A. Considerate and generous.B. Humorous and determined.C. Kind-hearted and grateful.D. Hard-working and optimistic.7. What message is mainly conveyed in the text?A. Do well and have well.B. Many hands make light work.C. Where there is life, there is hope.D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.CThe trousers known as jeans were the product of a partnership between Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss. They are popular with many generations of people — in America, especially, but also in many other countries. Jeans have different colors these day, but the most common color is the original blue.One very common material used in the making of jeans is denim(蓝粗棉布). The word "denim" actually came from the French language. Specifically, the city of Nimes, as a major producing center in France, was the setting for much production of the cloth used to make trousers. The cloth became so associated with the city in which it was made that it came to be called "from Nimes", or, in French "de Nimes". And over time "de Nimes" became shortened to "denim".The color of blue comes from the dye(染料) used in the making of jeans, and that dye was made from indigo, a plant that gives a blue substance. In the late Middle Ages and in the 19th century, as cloth production increased across the European continent and trade between Europe and Asia developed, one trade route that became well-known was the shipping of indigo dye from India to Europe. Nimes was one of the places to which much Indian indigo dye was shipped. Unlike other dyes, which when heated went into the cotton fibers, it was attached to the outside of the cloth. And with each wash, the indigo dye more solidly bonded with the cloth, making the jeans softer and creating the softened blue look that is now so familiar.Today's dye is artificial. But in many ways, the look and feel haven't changed. What has changed is that the number of producers has increased in a big way and the number of people who wear jeans — blue has increased greatly.8. What do we know about jeans?A. Their birth was a joint effort.B. They come in a great many varieties.C. They gain most acceptance in America.D. Their popularity declines in modem times.9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The material of jeans.B. The origin of denim.C. The production of cloth.D. The development of denim.10. What feature does the Indian indigo dye have?A. It has a better color effect.B. It's very sensitive to high heat.C. It mixes easily with cotton fibers.D. Its color stays unchanged over time.11. What is the purpose of the text?A. To analyze the cause of jeans' popularity.B. To introduce the process of making jeans.C. To stress the impact of Europe-Asia trade.D. To explain the reason for jeans' being blue.DThe demand for digital audio(音频的) books is growing very rapidly. Let's first look at why this has happened. The busy lifestyle leaves us little time to sit down and read a paper book. Besides, we all have time in the day when we are not really busy mentally. Therefore, we listen and "read" when doing other things.An audio book, read by a professional narrator(讲述者) who is telling you the story, is an ideal way to "read" books that you wanted to read for long but that lack of time did not permit you to read. Storytelling has a very long tradition and with the new technology, it is gaining popularity again."For many people, listening to an audio book is an opportunity to hear an author firsthand," says Mary Beth Roche, president of the Audio Publishers Association. "It's like having the very best lecture series, not just in your own town, but in your own car or home — and at your command, they'll read when YOU are ready to listen."Audio books used to be thought of as limited special products for only the blind andsight-impaired(视力受损的) or for kids and lazy people who either can not or do not want to read themselves. This has greatly changed over the last few years. A study found that the average listener of audio books is about 45 years of age and has an average yearly income of over $ 50,000, and at least a college education and often more advanced degrees. And these people have practical knowledge or understanding of the Internet.Moreover, audio books are especially good for children who hate to read because of problems in school. That way they are familiar with the adventure of using their own imagination to paint their mental pictures of what they hear, rather than just staring at the TV screen. Also, if they have the book and the audio, reading along can help them overcome reading problems.12. Who most probably like digital audio books?A. People who love high-tech products.B. People who prefer listening to stories.C. People who read anytime and anywhere.D. People who cannot spare time for reading.13. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed?A. By doing experiments.B. By giving examples.C. By analyzing causes.D. By making comparisons.14. What do digital audio books help children do?A. Reduce their screen time.B. Raise their interest in reading.C. Develop their imagination.D. Improve their listening skills.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Audio Books — A Popular Choice NowB. Audio Books — An Alternative to Paper BooksC. Audio Books — A New Source of KnowledgeD. Audio Books — A New Idea about Reading第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A constructor?I had shown interest in construction. A musician? It was appealing, but I knew I was n't good enough.“ A mailman," I shouted out.“So I could walk around all dayand think about things.”Little did I know then that, after a 30-year career in science, I would end up as a letter carrier.I first became inspired by the idea that my work could make a practical impact in the world after I changed from academia to biotech. I had initially been attracted to scientific research by the fun of solving problems and discovering something new. As I started in biotech and my work became more applied, I realized that my research could lead to potential treatments for human disease.However, none of my projects resulted in anything real to help people. My first biotech job ended when the company restructured. I got a job at another biotech company, but it went bankrupt one year later. Eventually, after some part-time consulting work, I decided I needed something more permanent, but I failed to find another full-time position in a science-related field. I started to wonder how I could still make a meaningful contribution.I decided to get a job as a letter carrier in a post office. I have 30 years of experience conducting scientific research, yet here I feel a little sad when I am delivering mail. But I try to keep an open mind. Although I miss research, I do enjoy getting to walk around and think about things. Lately I've been thinking about the COVID-19 and my career. I certainly hope I'm making a difference in society by delivering medicines and checks. Now, I think I'll make a more positive impact on people's lives than before.24.What did the author originally think of his science job?A. Practical.B. Relaxing.C. Profitable.D. Honorable.25.What do we learn about the author's career in biotech?A. It didn't bring any honor to the author.B. It didn't help the author live a better life.C. It didn't satisfy the author's desire to live.D. It didn't help the author realize the value of life.26.How did the author feel after working in the post office?A. Proud but disappointed.B. Sad but optimistic.C. Glad but unwilling.D. Upset but confident.27.What might be a suitable title for the text?A. Failure Plays a Role in Our Daily LifeB. A Change on Attitude Leads to SuccessC. Scientists Can Make Contributions to the WorldD. A Scientist Makes a Difference as a Letter Carrier 【答案解析】 ADBD3 Invented by French teenager Louis Braille in 1824, Braille has enabled blind kids worldwide to learn to read and write. However, the system of raised dots, representing letters and numbers, can be hard for younger students to learn. As aresult, parents and educators are increasingly avoiding this system, which is taught using special textbooks, in favor of online learning programs. Now，Denmark's LEGO Foundation hopes to change the trend with the help of braille bricks( 盲文积木). The braille bricks are similar to original building blocks. However, the bricks with numbers and letters printed on the bottom allowed blind and sighted players to build together. Though the bricks can be stacked together to form a crossword game or attached to one another to form words, they are unlike the regular ones. Therefore, the company recommends placing the bricks side-by-side. Each set of about 250 pieces includes letters A-Z, the numbers 0 -9, as well as basic symbols like the “plus” and “minus” signs. Special pieces are also included so kids can play word and math games.Blind kids have dreams about their future just as sighted children. They have the same desire to explore the world and socialize through play. In the Foundation, children can learn best through play and, in turn, develop their skills, such as creativity and communication. With this project, the foundation is bringing a playful and inclusive approach to learning braille to children.Kids are not the only ones benefiting from LEGO's invention this year. It can benefit adults as well. For those not into gaming, there is “Lego Art”. The art enables adults to create pop art “posters” by arranging these bricks on a canvas(画布). The offering includes Andy W arhol's Marilyn Monroe，Marvel Studio's Iron Man, and The Beatles. Each set comes with the appropriate music, interviews, and background information, providing fans with an unforgettable experience as they create their masterpieces.28. Why do educators avoid teaching in braille?A. Braille becomes out of date in reality.B. Braille is difficult for blind kids to master.C. They are not good at it at all.D. The special textbooks are expensive.29.What does the underlined word “stacked" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Piled.B. Crashed.C. Pushed.D. Crossed. .30.What are blind kids expected to do in the LEGO Foundation?A. Pursue their hobbies.B. Form their habits.C. Develop their skills.D. Play for fun.31.How can adults benefit from the braille bricks?A. They can play games together with their kids.B. They can get more information from those bricks.C. They can create some artworks based on the offering.D. They can impress themselves with a wonderful scene. 【答案解析】 BACC4 The grocery store might not be your favorite place to visit when you're at home, but is it ever fun when you're in another country? Honestly speaking, they're one of those strange littledestinations that I like to sniff out(寻找) everywhere I go, much as other travelers head toward clothing stores, libraries, cafes or galleries.The biggest beauty of the grocery store- -whether it's a huge supermarket or a tiny one- -is that it gives you a glimpse into what local people buy to cook. This offers clues into their lifestyles and preferences, and into the agricultural and cooking practices of the country. I stare at the strange fruits and vegetables, the seafood, the cheese, the spices, the breads, and oh, the chocolate. .. always the chocolate! Being an environmental person I am，I like paying attention to packaging， which can reflect their attitude towards environmental protection. Italy, for example, has a habit of requiring customers to bag their fruits and vegetables in plastic for weighing, while Sri Lanka leaves everything loose in bins. In Brazil , everything is prepackaged in a layer of plastic.People in grocery stores tend to be friendlier. They smile, say hello, and sometimes ask questions ， which can lead to great conversations. I had a further discussion with a teenaged cashier in Sri Lanka. He insiste d that the one labeled “spicy” would be too hot for me, but I told him I was willing to risk it. He laughed and we ended up talking about my favorite Sri Lankan foods for ten minutes.The financial savings extend to souvenirs, too. Whether it is ground spices for my mom or chocolates for my kids, the grocery store is the first place I look for unique gifts. It's interesting then to come home and look at one's own local grocery store through new eyes. What would a visitor think? What stands out, and what do the food displays say about us as a culture? You might be surprised by what you realize.32.What's the greatest benefit of visiting the grocery store in another country?A. Buying cheaper groceries.B. Making new friends.C. Seeing unknown food.D. Learning local culture.33.Why does the author mention some countries he visited?A. To show their environmental awareness.B. To show the level of their wealth.C. To show their packaging differences.D. To show their special lifestyles.34. W hat does the example listed in Paragraph4 tell us?A. Sri Lankans tend to be much friendlier.B. Grocery stores are always social places.C. People like to share their ideas about food.D. The cashier has good selling skills.35.What might the author want to stress in the text?A. Visiting grocery stores when you travel.B. Choosing souvenirs about various cultures.C. Knowing the grocery culture before you travel.D. Exchanging grocery experience with your friends. 【答案解析】 DABA5 The appearance of modern technology makes it possible for kids to continue learning beyond the classroom.

I remember from a young age being attracted by the world around me. Whenever I observed my surroundings, I would always wonder about what they were made of. 16．After a little time had passed, this curiosity was developed by my high school chemistry teacher, which was finally furthered as I got my doctor's degree in chemistry while I was at university.

ANext time your plane lands, listen to the sound of the tyres hitting the ground. The reason the tyres don’t explode is because they are made of natural rubber. The tyres of cars, motorbikes and trucks are also often made of the same stuff.Natural rubber comes from trees, Workers cut the trunks of the trees and collect a white liquid called latex. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, huge numbers of rubber trees were planted in countries including Malaysia, Burma and Brazil. More than a century ago, scientists discovered how to make man-made rubber, but natural rubber is much stronger and can last much longer. Nearly half the rubber which is produced each year is natural rubber and there is always a need for more.Rubber trees are not easy to grow. They are affected by changes in temperature, to much or not enough rain, high winds and disease. Some trees survive while others die and it’s all down to their genes. Two British organizations, the Tun Abdul Razak Research Center (TARRC) and The Genome Analysis Center (TGAC), have been working together to look at rubber trees. This is the genes fit together in very long chains of DNA．The genome for a plant such as a rubber tree or animal needs to grow. The genome contains all the information the plant or animal needs to grow. The genome for a plant such as a rubber tree is smaller than a human genome but it is still very long, which is why it has been so difficult to find. As Ewan Mollison of TARRC says, the work has been like putting a picture puzzle together where all the pieces show blue sea and blue sky.Now scientists can use the rubber tree genome to produce stronger trees. By understanding the genome, they can change the DNA in rubber trees in useful ways. They can also do it much faster than before. In the future, it will be possible to grow trees which survive climate change and disease.1．What characteristics of natural rubber can be inferred from Paragraph 1?A．Inexpensive.B．Flexible C．Conductive D．Explosive.2．What made natural rubber so demanding each year?A．Quantities of rubber trees were planted in Southeast AsiaB．Rubber trees are not easily affected by the climate change.C．By now scientists haven’t discovered how to make man-made rubber.D．Natural rubber is much tougher and more lasting than man-made rubber.3．What does Ewan Mollison suggest in Paragraph 3?A．The work sounds as interesting as a picture puzzle.B．The genome of a rubber tree is as blue as sea and sky.C．The genome of a rubber tree is not easy to be identifiedD．Completing a picture puzzle with sea and sky is difficult.4．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．The Origin of Natural RubberB．The Application of Natural RubberC．Natural Rubber: It’s All in the genesD．Natural Rubber VS Man-made RubberBJeremy Locke, who owns a roofing and construction company in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, had always been wanting to repair the roof of Jeanette MacDonald's home. Whenever he drove past the woman's home, he assumed that the roof was under repair because the job had already been taken on by another group of repairmen—but as the weeks wore on, the roof continued to worsen without any signs of repair.“ I had it in my mind that if no one steps up to help this lady in our community, I’d be more than happy to,” Locke told CBC．When Locke finally reached out to MacDonald about fixing her roof for free, however, she politely declined his offer because she did not like to accept charity. That being said, she had already applied for a government grant （补助金）to fix the roof and she said she was more than happy to hire Locke once her grant application was approved.Unfortunately, MacDonald never received the approval.As the stubborn （固执的）Canadian senior refused to accept any assistance from Locke, the sympathetic construction worker played an innocent trick in order to get her to accept his help. He invited MacDonald to enter a raffle （抽奖活动）that his business was holding for a free roof. After the grandmother — of — four accepted one of the raffle tickets, Locke told her that she was the winner—because she was the only one who had entered the raffle.Thanks to his sweet little plan, Locke and his crew are starting work on the roof this week, which is expected to cost his company about $9, 000.MacDonald, meanwhile, told CBC that she doesn't know how to express her gratitude to Locke, saying that he is her “guardian angel”."There's nobody out there like him," she added.5．What did Locke desire to do for MacDonald?A．Repair her roof.B．Find a repairman.C．Run a charity.D．Raise money.6．Why did MacDonald refuse Locke's offer initially?A．She didn't trust him.B．She had won a raffle.C．She didn't like free help.D．She had got an official grant.7．How did Locke finally make MacDonald change her mind?A．He persuaded her to give up her application.B．He invited her to enter his business.C．He gave her about $9, 000.D．He told her a white lie.8．Which of the following words best describe Locke?A．Stubborn and tricky.B．Wealthy and innocent.C．Determined and warm-hearted.D．Different and ambitious.CNobody likes to fail. It makes people feel embarrassed and discouraged. What's worse, it may cause major professional or personal trouble and lead to negativity. Basically, failure is no fun for most people. However, a vast body of research tells us that failure provides us with a chance to grow and develop, increases adaptability, and helps protect against anxiety.It's hard to change the mindset (心态) of a lifetime. But even if we still can't get over the broken marriage or the failed College Entrance Examination or the work presentation that went fearfully wrong, it might not be too late for our kids.Christy Pennison, a professional consultant, says she works with an increasing number of kids and teens who show significant anxiety around a fear of failure. She said, "We want to protect our children, and we want them to live happy and meaningful lives, so we frequently tell them the harm of failure and ask them to avoid failure. The children experiencing internal and sometimes extenal pressure think they shouldn't fail. Meanwhile, we always have high expectations of them. So when they don't live up to a certain standard, or things don't go according to the plans, they will feel upset and anxious."Pennison argues that failures, are often the hidden learning chances that can help people develop positive qualities, like persistence, focus, flexibility, patience, and positive self-image.So what can parents do to help their children embrace (拥抱) failure instead of avoiding it at all costs? Pennison suggests directing praise towards the effort, not the result. "This allows children to build confidence in themselves, "she explains." Acknowledging the effort can give children permission to try new things without a fear of failure. And the bigger picture is that the development of the mindset —'I'd rather try and fail than not try at all.'—helps them keep a belief in themselves, and expands their world of possibilities." As Pennison points out, we all fail, but how we get up after we fail is what matters.9．What aspect do most people focus on when thinking of failure?A．The great courage to face it.B．The efforts made to handle it.C．Unexpected benefits it brings.D．Unpleasant side effects it brings.10．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A．Bring up the main topic.B．List the challenges in our life.C．Add some background information.D．Stress the importance of the mindset11．What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph?A．The causes of children's anxiety.B．Christy Pennison's comments on adolescents.C．The consequences of overprotecting children.D．Christy Pennison's experience in educating children.12．Which of the following advice can help parents encourage kids to face failure?① Praise kids' every achievement.② Make kids embrace a bright mindset.③ Focus on the process of kids' effort④ Expand kids' knowledge about the world.⑤ Encourage kids to make new attempts.A．①②④B．②③④C．②③⑤D．①③⑤D13．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the studio’s services? A．Frames come in three different colors and sizes.B．There is no need to make an appointment to take photos.C．Photographs will be delivered within three business days.D．Someone on the staff can help customers look good.14．How much can non-club members save when they use the Fantastic Package Plan instead of buying the same products individually?A．$20. B．$30.C．$40. D．$50.15．We can learn from the text that ______.A．club members need to pay a $40 membership fee every yearB．as many as five pictures can be included in a Multi-image sheetC．customers can receive a 20th anniversary discount until December 31D．you must have a Fantastic Club membership to receive a free gift第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ASomething you may not know about End of HeatThe traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. End of Heat is the 14th solar term of the year, which implies that most parts in China are getting rid of the hot summer and entering autumn. But in some areas, especially in South China, autumn is late in coming and people are still bothered by hot weather. End of Heat is also the busy harvest season for farmers.The following are the things you should know about End of Heat.Time for night-blooming cereus(昙花)The night-blooming cereus is a flower full of mystery, which often blooms during the period of End of Heat. This is because the climate during End of Heat, characterized by warm days and cold nights, is similar to tropical deserts. Night-blooming cereus originates in the tropical deserts from Mexico to Brazil in South America. They blossom at night to avoid the blazing daytime sun.Eating DuckDuck has a sweet flavor and according to Chinese traditional medicine it has a“cool”nature. Afolk tradition is to eat duck during the End of Heat period. There are many recipes for cooking duck such as roast duck, cooked duck with lemon, smoked duck with walnut dressing and sauteed duck with ginger shoots. The tradition of eating duck during the End of Heat period is still popular in China.The Fishing Season FestivalFor fishermen, the End of Heat is a season of harvest. During this period, the Fishing Season Festival is held in regions along the coastline of the East China Sea in Zhejiang province. The festival is held on the day when the fishing ban ends and fishermen can start fishing again. Due to high temperatures in the sea, stocks of fish remain and become mature.

When a library goer scanned Tutu’s QR code, Wangbao seemingly became annoyed, which brought a great amusement to the library goer who posted a video of the exchange that occurred on December 30 and has gone viral on social media.“Tutu, let’s stop fighting, OK?”said Wangbao．“Your mood sure swings a lot!”Tutu said.Wangbao raved, “Aren’t you a drama queen, I’m giving you an out. Stop being petulant!’’The library goer was even more amused, as the two robots grew noisier and angrier with each other, and finally, abruptly turning away from each other like naughty children.“It looks like how you quarrel with your girlfriend, ha-ha. ”one netizen posted.“I see myself from the quarrel, ”wrote another on Sina Weibo, which was echoed by many others.“It’s annoying to hear people arguing, and I didn’t expect I'd have to listen to robots arguing, ”another netizen wrote.The online video was widely circulating on Sina Weibo, with some 500, 000 views as of press time on Saturday. Tutu and Wangbao became internet hot figures, even attracting attention from major news outlets in the country.When the two online celebrities were interviewed by reporters on Friday, the two seems already forgave each other after three days．“It was a thing last year…Isn’t it normal to have quarrels between friends?’’Wangbao said in video posted by the Xinhua News Agency on Saturday.4. What’s the purpose of paragraph one?A. To show how smart the two robots are.B. To increase our awareness of AI technology.C. To introduce the following parts.D. To criticize the quarrel between the two robots.5. What was the library goer’s attitude towards the argument?A. Amazed.B. Entertained.C. Puzzled.D. Excited.6．By presenting some netizens’comments, the author intends to tell us____．A. the fight draws the public’s great attentionB. the fight has an awful effect on people’s lifeC. the fight takes place on a regular basisD. the fight feels like a real one7. Where is the text most likely from?A. A textbook.B. A diary.C. A magazine.D. A website.CAs Australia experiences record-breaking drought and bush-fires, koala populations have declined along with their habitat, leading to koalas becoming“functionally extinct”. The chairman of the Australian Koala Foundation, Tabart, estimates that over 1, 000 koalas have been killed from the fires and that 80 percent of their habitat has been destroyed.Functional extinction is when a population becomes so limited that they no longer play an important role in their ecosystem and the population becomes no longer possible to live.Deforestation and bush-fires destroy the main food source of koalas, the eucalyptus(桉树)tree. An adult koala will eat up to 2 pounds of eucalyptus leaves per day as its main food.Many are asking the Australian government to pass The Koala Protection Act, written in 2016 but never passed into law. The Koala Protection Act would work to protect habitat and trees important to koala as well as protect koalas from hunting.Recent videos of Australians saving koalas has led to increased donation to help burned koalas. The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital set up a Go Fund Me page seeking donations to help the hospital treat injured koalas. To date, they have raised$1. 33 million, well over their $25, 000 goal, which comes from over 30, 000 donors. The funds will also be used for a“Koala Ark”as a refuge for burned koalas to live in healthy habitat.8．According to the first paragraph, what can we know about the drought and bush-fires?A. They are the most serious ones in the history of Australian.B. They have made koalas extinct.C. They have killed 80％of the koalas.D. They brought the most serious influence to Australian.9. When does functional extinction happen?A. When a species becomes extinct.B. When a species is limited to certain habitat.C. When ecosystem no longer plays an important role.D. When the number of a species becomes so small that they have little chance to live. 10．According to the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT that_____．A. koalas mainly feed on eucalyptus tree leavesB. the Australian government has passed The Koala Protection Act into lawC. The Koala Protection Act is aimed to protect koalas and its habitatD. a good many Australians are quite concerned about koalas11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Some videos require people to donate for koalas.B. Go Fund Me page treated injured koalas.C. Australians have deep love for koalas and donate generously to help them.D. The funds will be used to set up healthy habitat for koalas.DChildren born in the past four decades had the luxury of being the center of their parents’attention. The entire family’s resources were poured into their education and well-being.However, when the same resources are split between two children, the amount distributed to each one is going to shrink.According to the Hangzhou Daily, when there are two children in the family, parents tend to choose public schools instead of private schools, which are usually more expensive．Each child is enrolled in fewer after-school training classes．But having a second child may cure some deep-rooted problems in China’s traditional family education.Having two children in the family can help to prevent one child being spoiled by too much attention, according to People’s Daily. It also spares the only child from the pressure of shouldering parental expectations all alone. Taking care of a sibling also enables children to gain a sense of responsibility, cooperation, obedience and caring.China’s public education system is also expected to shift. Currently, there are not enough vacancies in kindergarten and schools to accommodate the potential increase in children.“It’s not only the enrollment capacity of educational institutions that will feel the pressure．People are also placing more emphasis on the quality of education, ”Peng Xizhe, director of the Population and Development Research Policy Center at Fudan University, told China Education Daily．He predicts the government may have to invest more to support the educational system as a result of the new family planning measure.12. What can children benefit from a two-child family?A. They can have less pressure.B. They can study in private schools.C. They can get much more attention.D. They can take more after-school training classes.13. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word“accommodate”?A. holdB. adaptC. solveD. consider14. What can we infer from Peng Xizhe’s words?A. People are placing more emphasis on the quality of education.B. The government may have to invest more to support the educational system.C. The new family planning measure will challenge the current educational system.D. The educational institutions will feel the pressure that their capacity is not enough.15. What is the purpose of this text?A. To show benefits of owning two children.B. To persuade people to bear more children.C. To encourage people to have only one child.D. To introduce the impact of two-child policy.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A（2021·湖南岳阳市·岳阳一中高二月考）Like any new ninth-grader on the first day of school, Joemar Class had ninth-grader- emotion (情绪). He’s not used t o school in Hartford. He’s used to going to school in his home town of Florida, used to seeing his friends, used to having class in Spanish.“Nervioso,” he said in Spanish.We first met Joemar in mid-October in the San Juan Airport. His father, Guillermo Class, had sold his car to buy plane tickets to get his kids and fly them up from Puerto Rico. The island was almost destroyed (毁坏) by the deadly storm—Hurricane Maria.Now, they are settling into their new home in Hartford's South End. A week later, and, using his wife's car, Class drove 16-year-old Joemar to his first day at Bulkeley High School. After a short ride, he got out in front of his new school. Inside, he met Gretchen Levitz—the school's program director.“I see you have new uniform (校服),” Levitz said. “You look great. Are you ready for a good first day?”Then he met couple of teachers.“Hello,” they each said in Spanish. They asked where he's from, and told him they were happy to see him. Then Levitz took him on a quick tour of the school before classes began—to her office the school store, the library, and the dining hall.A total of 19 languages are spoken in Bulkeley High School. “We have so many new students coming here from other countries every single day,” Levitz said. “So it's not like he's the only one who has that feeling.”“You could tell he's little worried," Guillermo said as we left.” But, at the same time, he's looking forward to it.”1．What kind of feeling did Joemar have on his first day of school?A．Angry.

The device, called GENNY, is small enough to be used in a home or office but can generate up to 30 liters of water a day. The water that GENNY produces is not only clean enough to drink, but often cleaner than tap water.GENNY takes air in and passes it through a filter (过滤器) to remove dust and dirt. The filter is powerful enough to work even in areas with high air pollution. The air then passes through a cabin where heating and cooling cause water vapor in the air to cool down. This water is then passed through several more filters, and minerals are added to make it healthier and better-tasting. Finally, the water is stored in a tank where it is continually circulated to keep it fresh.The heating and cooling process, named GENius, is far more energy-efficient than other technologies that generate water from air. It produces four to five times more water perkilowatt-hour. Watergen has other products that use this same technology on a larger scale, the largest of which can produce up to 5,000 liters of water per day.As an added bonus, once the water is extracted (提取), GENNY produces purified air, which is healthier for people to breathe.At the 2020 Smart Home Mark of Excellence Awards at the Consumer Electronics Show, GENNY was named the Energy Efficient Product of the Year. The award series recognizes the world’s top high-tech home products.As a company, Watergen aims to provide drinking water to the billions of people who don’t have safe drinking water at home. Last year Watergen’s large-scale products were donated to authorities in Brazil, Vietnam and India.Watergen also seeks to help the environment by removing waste generated by plastic water bottles. People can put the water from GENNY into reusable bottles so that plastic on es don’t get used and thrown away. Watergen’s technology is sure to help many people around the world as well as help take care of our planet.5．What does “GENNY” in paragraph 1 refer to?A．A machine that produces water from air.B．A company that generates water.C．A process that cools water.D．A reusable bottle that contains water.6．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The advantages of GENNY.B．The working process of GENNY.C．The benefits of water generated by GENNY.D．The functions of GENNY.7．Why is GENius more energy-saving, compared with other similar technologies?A．It generates water even cleaner than tap water.B．It produces clean air while extracting water.C．It produces 5,000 liters of water a day.D．It generates much more water each kilowatt-hour.8．What has Watergen achieved so far?A．It has provided people in remote areas with clean water.B．It has got people into using recyclable bottles.C．It has won the award of Efficient Products of the Year.D．It has circulated the technology throughout the world.C（2020·福建师大附中）Picture this: It’s 2003 and your family has just finished arguing over which Netflix movie video tapes to rent that week. Movies come in the mail and the family watch them throughout the week. Then, fast forward to 2008, and you have started to watch TV shows on Netflix’s new platform.Now, let’s come to the present. You sit down and open up Netflix on your TV and scroll （滚屏）for a while. Then check HBO GO. Finally, check Disney+. Th en realize that you’re paying for three different streaming services, maybe more.Let’s return to Netflix. More generally, streaming. There are over 100 video streaming services available, as well as quite a few music streaming, including YouTube Music, Google Play, and etc. The streaming world, at least to some, is on its way to getting out of control, with each service requiring its own monthly entertainment subscription. We haven’t even taken into account subscriptions like Microsoft Office and email newsletters. Subscriptions started out as a service of convenience, but now, the oversaturation may have become burdensome. The services believe customers will pay more to get the content they want. However, statistics show a growing frustration among consumers. With so many options, they find it harder than ever to make a decision on what to pick.Not only does the oversaturation of streaming result in confusing navigation, it also creates a financial burden for the consumers. Let’s say if you want to watch The Handmaid’s Tale and Game of Thrones, which belong to two different services, you would have to pay nearly $50 a month to access both services, meaning it’s potentially more expensive, than cable.People cut their cords （细绳）and went the streaming route because it was simpler and cheaper. Now, it’s just as inconvenient and difficult as cable was, if not more so, and unless you’re limiting yourself to one service, it’s not cheaper. Streaming will survive because we’re in a Golden Age of Media and because each service is able to create high-quality originals. But Golden Ages don’t last, and bubbles tend to burst. Until the unavoidable day when some product or service proves streaming out of date, we must suffer the choices in front of us. The next time you are scrolling through Netflix, Hulu, or whatever, and the over-choice is killing you, maybe you should just go pick up a book instead.9．What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs?A．Social progress has promoted the quality of life in the past decade.B．Technology innovation results in different ways of relaxation.C．Changes in home entertainment have brought us more options.D．Netflix has been developing its service patterns.10．What does the underlined word “oversaturation” in Paragraph 3 p robably refer to?A．The large number of subscriptions.B．The frustration caused by poor service.C．The rapidly developing entertainment market.D．The confusing navigation resulting from streaming.11．According to the passage, streaming services may__________.A．improve user satisfaction B．raise entertainment costsC．diversify entertainment forms D．realize the resource sharing12．The author would probably agree that _________.A．the streaming service will have a bright futureB．reading has an advantage over streaming serviceC．there will be some better service to replace streamingD．nothing can end streaming services as long as media existsD（2021·山东泰安市·高三一模）V olunteers in Policing （Vips）are based in police where they work to deal with customer service, community safety and crime prevention needs in the community.

AThere are a number of sports writers who are now widely regarded as some of the best sports journalists of our time. Here are five of the most well-known sports writers.Rick Reilly of Sports IllustratedRick Reilly became famous as the back page columnist (专栏作家) for Sports Illustrated magazine. Then he moved to ESPN in 2008 and began working as a columnist for their website — . Now he has his own show with ESPN, and he also contributes articles to ABC sports.Bob Ryan of The Boston GlobeBob Ryan rose through the ranks thanks to his skill and knowledge about basketball. He very soon became known as a guru of the sport, writing an impressively large number of articles about The Boston Celtics — a National Basketball Association (NBA) team based in Boston, Massachusetts.John Feinstein of The Washington PostJohn Feinstein is primarily a columnist with The Washington Post but during his long career he has published two best-selling sports books A Good Walk Spoiled and A Season on the Brink. He is a regular with the Golf Channel and has a very popular blog called Feinstein on the Brink.Joaquin Henson of The Philippine StarJoaquin Henson started out his sports journalism career in 1973 and became popularthrough his column Sporting Chance, which has been published in The Philippine Star since the 80’s. He has given a number of catchy nicknames to some of the most famous sporting stars of our time.William Rhoden of The New York TimesApart from being a columnist with The New York Times since the 80’s, William Rhoden is a respected sports journalist known for his two books Forty Million Dollar Slaves and Third and a Mile. Both books deal with the problems that face black athletes in the field of sport.1．Before working for ESPN, Rick Reilly _____.A．was a regular with the Golf Channel B．started his column Sporting Chance C．wrote articles for Sports Illustrated D．worked as a sports talk show host 2．Both John Feinstein and William Rhoden _____.A．have worked as writers for ten years B．work as columnists and write books C．like to give nicknames to sporting stars D．are known as columnists for ABC sports 3．What would be the best title for the text?A．Useful tips for a sports journalist B．How to be a newspaper columnist C．Newspapers that influence us a lot D．Famous and popular sports writersBDr. Faisal Zawawi, an Otolaryngologist and member of the McGill Auditory Sciences Laboratory, notes that when a person is exposed to loud noises it can cause short-term hearing loss but that under normal circumstances the body typically is able to repair the loss of hearing within 72 hours. However, Zawawi warns that if symptoms are not reversed (倒转) in the first 72 hours the damage could become permanent. Due to findings in previous studies about it, Zawawi says that the team of researchers has suspected that something may stop this repair process. Therefore, the team set out to determine if caffeine could be a contributing cause to hearing loss. According to the Medical Daily, the researchers tested what theysuspected on female guinea pigs(FGP) (豚鼠).To perform the test, 24 female guinea pigs were split into three equal groups with each group exposed in different levels to caffeine, and loud noises. The researchers found that the guinea pigs subjected to only sound had their full hearing recovered by day eight. However, the guinea pigs that were subjected to both caffeine and loud noise never fully regained their hearing. Therefore，the researchers concluded that caffeine is a likely contributing cause to permanent hearing loss.“This research confirms that while a cup of coffee may seem appealing after a long night at a loud concert, drinking caffeine produces more of a risk than benefit when it comes to a person's hearing. Although further research is required to understand the effect on humans, the results are promising," says Zawawi. If the research proves successful, the removal of caffeine from your diet following noise exposure could prevent permanent hearing loss as the body will be more able to repair itself naturally.4．What caused the team to do the research?A．Caffeine loving people suffering hearing loss.B．The results about hearing loss found before.C．The finding that FGPs are sensitive to noise.D．The fact that many people drink coffee.5．What is Zawawi's view about temporary hearing loss?A．Drinking coffee daily results in it.B．The continuous noise exposure surely causes it.C．The temporary hearing loss will become permanent after 3 days.D．Generally people can recover from it in 3 days.6．What can we learn about hearing from the text?A．Coffee can lead to quick hearing loss.B．Loud noise causes people to lose it forever.C．Coffee can stop it from recovering.D．Hearing loss after noise exposure is normal.7．How does Zawawi assess the research?A．It's controversial.B．It's unnecessary to carry it on.C．It's not predictable.D．It's almost successful.CSmall talk has a reputation for being uninteresting, and for good reason. Pointing out the fact that it’s raining seems as ridiculous as pointing out the fact that you have a head—you’re fully aware of both things, and don’t require an outsider to confirm them. But despite being evident and often painfully dull, small talk has an important role to fulfil, enabling us to leap over a number of social obstacles towards improved, meaningful interaction.Humans can be sensitive souls. We each have our boundaries and lists of potential upsets, which when broken, cause us to either gently back away to an alternative position in the room, or become cross at the person. Small talk is first a way to test the waters with an unfamiliar person, so that you may better understand their personality. When finding yourself positioned closely to a person who you know little about, it’s much safer to point out the rainy sky than to share your political views on a sensitive topic. Until you know the person better, heavier topics should probably be kept under wraps, so you won’t find yourself on the receiving end of a cold stare.Though insignificant, small talk still has great power. When talking with fellow humans, much of our soul is exposed through non-verbal communication. A response to “how was your weekend” can unveil much about the person’s character. The length of their response might indicate their level of self-confidence; the tone of speaking might show how agreeable a person is; their slightly lowered head, as if protecting themselves from attack, a possible sign of a regrettable history of bullying.As more of a person’s character is revealed, we have the insight needed to determinewhether to broach more significant topics—the things that we actually want to talk about. Conversation is a great educator, and deep conversation establish lasting bonds with our fellow humans, forming precious friendships that paint our lives with vibrant colors. Such friendships begin with small talk.8．What is described in the first paragraph?A．The first stage of human interaction.B．Ridiculous human behavior in communication.C．Absence of communication between strangers.D．The difficulty of having deep conversations.9．Why do people find themselves “on the receiving end of a cold stare”?A．Because they are fond of heavy subjects.B．Because they are enthusiastic about politics.C．Because they are too sensitive about topics.D．Because they fail to manage interpersonal distance.10．What might be a sign of friendliness according to paragraph 3?A．The length of the answer.B．The quality of the voice.C．The position of the head.D．The distance between speakers. 11．What might be the best title for the text?A．Reputation of Small Talk B．Ways of Understanding Personality C．Significance of Small Talk D．Challenges of Deep ConversationDAs educators across the globe look to improve students outcomes, a new trend is beginning to take root. Equipped with the knowledge that indoor plants improve general health and well-being, living green walls, like those created by GSky Plant Systems,Inc., arebringing life to educational spaces.This fall, to help enrich student learning, GSky completed the installation(安装) of a Versa Wall for the new Biomedical Sciences and Engineering(BSE) facility at Universities at Shady Grove in Rockville, Maryland. “The living wall is meant to almost appear as an extension of the east courtyard exterior(外面的) environment flowing into the building,”said Christopher Case, Project Engineer for Gilbane Building Company.As the educational model continues its shift toward a science, technology, engineering, art and math(STEAM) curriculum, Educators are looking for more hands-on learning opportunities. Green walls provide teachers with a new way to put STEAM principles into the curriculum.Known as project-based learning, this method allows instructors to develop educational opportunities for students to interact with a green wall. Michael McCullough, Michael Martin and Mollika Sajady, in their article, “Implementing(实施) Green Walls in school，”explain the benefits of project-based learning：“The project-based learning allows students to construct meaning and knowledge based on direct experience，interacting with their environment.” In turn, students are encouraged to use critical thinking to develop ways to maintain a green wall, once again, bring them back to the natural world, in spite of being indoors.The benefits of green walls don't end at better test scores and increased learning opportunities. Because stress levels often run high in schools, green walls naturally help reduce that stress and anxiety. Plus, the addition of greenery in schools decreases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, leading to a reduction in headaches, dizziness, and tiredness,---all of which contribute to students’ ability to focus.To increase productivity while beautifying a space, Georgetown University also chose a GSky Versa Wall for a student center in one of their residence halls, New South. The 828-square- foot vertical garden is filled with 5000 plants, allowing students to breathe easy.So, no matter the location or learning style, GSky’s green walls are proving to be a critical element in creating a positive educational experience for students, big and small. 12．What did Christopher say about the living wall?A．It extends as far as the east countryyard.B．It appears as if it's constantly moving.C．It beautifies the country yard exterior environment.D．It brings the outdoor environment into the building.13．What does “Implementing Green Walls in School” show about green walls?A．They are beneficial to the students’ studies.B．They still need further improving.C．They might replace some STEAM courses.D．They work well in improving general health.14．Why is Georgetown University mentioned in Paragraph 6?A．To complain about the wrong location of GSky's green walls.B．To display possible learning opportunities at universities.C．To show GSky's green walls’ functions.D．To explain a new trend among universities.15．What is the test mainly about?A．New environmentally friendly measures.B．The unexpected fast development of GSky.C．Living green walls in educational institutions.D．The connection between knowledge and plants.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Fishing on the Chagan Lake.BBorn Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler Nov. 9, 1914, the Austria native took an early interest in the performing arts, but seemed equally fascinated with science and engineering. In 1937, she signed a contract with Hollywood’s Metro -Goldwyn -Mayer studio under the name Hedy Lamarr. Her first film was a great success and soon Lamarr was a household name.During her Hollywood years, Lamarr was known for her knowledge on aviation(航空) design and theory. But it wasn’t until 1942 that Lamarr’s innovative thinking inspired a creative invention. In cooperation with composer George Antheil, Lamarr designed a frequency -hopping(跳频) system that minimized the jamming of radio signals.During World War II, Hedy’s mother was trapped in Vienna. It was hard for Hedy to help her mother to get to America because every American ship was getting blown up by the Nazis. So she worked on inventing a remote controlled torpedo(鱼雷) so advanced that it would be able to hunt down and blow up此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号every Nazi submarine in the Atlantic, thus securing safe passage to the US. To make sure the Nazis couldn’t detect the radio signal for her torpedo, she created a “secret communication system” that couldn’t be detected.The “secret communication system” employed changing radio frequencies to prevent enemies from interpreting messages. Multiple radio frequencies were used to broadcast a radio signal, which changed frequencies in an apparently random manner. To anyone listening, it would just sound like noise. But the signal would be clear if both the sender and receiver hopped frequencies at the same time.Although the technology was never used in wartime, it ended up playing a critical role in communication methods throughout the decades. Many believe that Lamarr’s invention made technology like Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth, as well as devices like cellphones, possible.4. What does the underlined words “the jamming of radio signals” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Detecting the radio signals.B. Sending the radio signals.C. Receiving the radio signals.D. Boosting the radio signals.5. What led Lamarr to invent a new communication system?A. Her passion for science.B. Her interest in performing.C. Her contract with a studio.D. Her desire to help her mother out.6. What does paragraph 4 focus on?A. Showing the application of the system.B. Interpreting how the system functioned.C. Stressing the significance of the system.D. Explaining how the system was invented.7. What can we infer about Hedy Lamarr from the text?A. She was very ambitious.B. She was a productive actress.C. She was completely devoted to science.D. She contributed to communication technology.COne of the tallest wooden buildings in Europe, a 98m timber mixture skyscraper, is to rise in Berlin.The 29-storey WoHo Tower, to be designed by a firm of Norwegian architects, is intended to be a “light-house project” for low-carbon construction, towering over Potsdamer Platz and the Landwehr Canal.Its core, including lifts and a staircase, is to be built around a steel-reinforced concrete structure but the rest of the building, including flats, offices, cafes and a kindergarten, will be fashioned down wooden beams and panels.“As Norwegians, we are used to working a lot with timber,” Nicolai Riise, CEO of the Mad Architects’ Practice said.“The thing about timber is that it demonstrates sustainability from top to bottom. The carbon footprint is close to zero and it’s a fantastic material to build with. If you look at this in a broader way, it’s one of the ways we are going to be able to beat the climate crisis.”Wooden skyscrapers, once regarded as an unprofitable pipe dream, have become a realistic prospect with the coming of cross-laminated building techniques and more flexible planning laws. Because these structures’ parts are fit with care, they can be far lighter than their concrete equivalents and are thought to be relatively resistant to fire. A cubic meter of wood can also take an estimated ton of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.Larger wooden structures are planned elsewhere. London is examining blueprints for the 300-meter Oakwood Tower. A project in Tokyo could rise to 350m.8. What can we know about WoHo Tower?A. It will be among the tallest in Europe.B. It will be mostly made of wood.C. It is designed by a Norwegian architect.D. Its core is to be built with timber.9. Why do Norwegians prefer timber to construct buildings?A. Timber is too flexible.B. Timber is easy to process.C. Timber is eco-friendly.D. Timber is multi-functional.10. What makes it possible to build wooden skyscrapers?A. The concrete equivalents.B. Creative planning.C. Fire-resistant materials.D. New building techniques.11. In which section of a newspaper can you find this text?A. World.B. Comment.C. Literature.D. Business.DAt the start of every working week, millions of people around the world get ready for something they do endlessly, joylessly and badly: a meeting.It was awful before the pandemic(疫情), when research showed there were an average of 55 millionmeetings daily in the US alone. I fear to think what the figures look like now that Covid-19 and remote working have started the age of the continuous meeting.It wouldn’t be a problem if all meetings did what they were supposed to do and helped busy people make good decisions about important matters. But the evidence suggests otherwise. Studies over the past 15 years have shown about 70 percent of workers have rated their meetings poor or unproductive, writes US professor, Steven Rogelberg, in his 2019 book The Surprising Science of Meetings.“The root of the rotten meeting is simple,” says Madeleine de Hauke, a meeting coach and teacher. “We spend our lives in meetings, but there’s very little investment(投入) into helping people run them effectively,” she told me last week.A meeting coach might say that, but I think Ms de Hauke is correct. Running a meeting well takes skills. At a minimum, people need to know in advance why they are meeting; what they are supposed to achieve; who really needs to be there and how they should contribute. Yet meeting leaders are expected to learn all these on the job.I thought the pandemic had made things worse. But Ms de Hauke makes a convincing argument that Zoom calls merely strengthen what was going on before. If a meeting was productive and cheerful before, it is probably better now. If it was wasteful and annoying, it is likely to be worse.Still, a bad meeting is like a virus. By failing to produce good decisions it often requires another meeting to be held, then another and another. Luckily, there is no need for a vaccine(疫苗), just a bit more care and preparation, and an understanding that there is no shame in being taught how to lead a meeting well.12. What does the passage focus on?A. Why people hate meetings.B. How Covid-19 affects meetings.C. Recommending experienced meeting coaches.D. Suggesting developing the skills of meeting running.13. According to the author, what’s the problem of bad meetings?A. Meetings are poor and short.B. Meetings are dull and fruitless.C. Meetings make people less interested in work.D. Meetings cause people to make wrong decisions.14. How can a meeting leader run a good meeting?A. Invite people to attend the meeting in advance.B. Invest much money to run meetings successfully.C. Set clear goals and make preparations for the meeting.D. Make everybody present at the meeting learn some skills.15. How does the author develop the last paragraph?A. By comparison.B. By classification.C. By analyzing causes.D. By listing examples.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
2021年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语模拟卷(七)附带答案及详细解析
2021年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语模拟卷（七）一、阅读选择（共4题；共30分）1.阅读理解Children's books bring back joyful memories, providing kids with that much-needed escapism, entertainment and education from a young age. But sometimes it can be difficult to know which to choose. Here, experts share a selection of their favourites.Germany: Konstantin, by Gerda Wagener Vlasta BarankovaThis book follows a shy crocodile named Konstantin who finds a French horn in the jungle. The lonely reptile learns to play the instrument in secret but later with the confidence given by other animals, the nervous and lonely Konstantin finally comes out of his shell and finds friendship through his music. This heartwarming story encourages taking pride in what you do and having the courage to share it with others.Sweden: Pippi Longstocking, by Astrid LindgrenPippi, a nine-year-old girl, is always ready to challenge the authority of grown-ups and has a love of animals, especially for her pet horse and monkey. Pippi also provides a strong female presence in the story, which is often lacking in traditional children's literature and fairy tales. This is a great book for any children looking for an exciting and courageous figure that they can relate or look up to, teaching them not only to take the lead but to question the rules of the world.Sweden: Pettson and Findus by Sven NordqvistIt is a series about the adventures of an old man, Pettson, and his cat, Findus, living in their farmhouse in the countryside. Beginning usually with ordinary events, such as a camping or fishing trip, they contain lots of fantastical details of the small creatures that play tricks on Pettson. These tales encourage finding joy in the little things in life, whether it is cooking or just enjoying the great outdoors.France: The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-ExuperyAs one of the most translated books ever, The Little Prince is a classic in many nations beyond its native France. The plot revolves around a young prince who travels from planet to planet through space. He learns lessons about love, loneliness and friendship along the ensuing journey. The book may have been written for children, but The Little Prince includes enough reflection on complex themes to keep grown-ups entertained as well, making it a great choice for parents and children to read together.（1）What are parents supposed to do with a shy boy?A.Motivate him to learn a musical instrument.B.Accompany him to read bedtime stories.C.Encourage him to come out of his shell.cate him to challenge authorities.（2）Which is the best choice to help improve your kids' critical thinking?A.KonstantinB.Pippi LongstockingC.Pettson and FindusD.The Little Prince（3）What do the four books have in common?A.They come from the western culture.B.They are the most translated books ever.C.They are about human-animal relationship.D.They are about memories of childhood.2.阅读理解Louise Gluck has been no stranger to awards over her long and storied career since her first publication in 1968. In 1993, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems, The Wild Iris. And on Oct 8 (2020) she became the 16th woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature with the Nobel prizes first awarded in 1901.Gluck was honored “for her unmistakable poetic voice that, with plain and simple beauty, makes individual existence universal”. Often said to be an autobiographical poet, drawing fr om the inner parts of her life, "Gluck seeks the universal, Nobel Committee Chair Anders Olsson said in a statement.Gluck, 77, the author of 12 poetry collections, has been able to turn her life experiences into universal themes covering life, loss, and isolation. Because of this, readers have often found her poetry to be "dark". However, there is much more than darkness in her voice, as noted by Olsson. "It is candid and also a voice full of humor and biting wit." he said.For example, in her poem Snowdrops, she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of life after death. She leads readers down a depressing path only to reconnect with the light at the near end. At the conclusion of the poem, readers are left to feel the "raw wind of the new world" as they watch a new spring. This is often the case in Gluck's poetry, being able to feel joy even after not having done so for a long time. When her work Faithful Virtuous Night received a National Book Award for Poetry in 2014, a judge for the award went on to say, the collection comes from "a world where darkness blurs (模糊) ordinarily sharp edges around the oppositions of our lives - loss and renewal, male and female, the living and the dead".Talking of prizes, she acknowledged that they can make "existence in the world easier" but did not amount to the immortality (永生) of a true artist. "I want to live after I die, in that ancient way." she said. "And there's no way of knowing whether that will happen, and there will be no knowing, no matter how many blue ribbons have been used to cover my body." The remark is in line with Olsson's description of Gluck's poetic voice as "candid and uncompromising” but frequently witty.（1）What can we learn about Louise Gluck?A.She is a productive and distinguished poet.B.She showed indifference to the Nobel award.C.She had her first publication in her teens.D.She gets inspiration from universal existence.（2）How do readers feel after reading Snowdrops?A.Depressed.B.Confused.C.Astonished.D.Refreshed.（3）According to Gluck, how do awards influence artists?A.By improving their health and fame.B.By popularizing their works better.C.By contributing to their living longer.D.By allowing them a better living.（4）What is the text mainly about?A.Gluck's poetry collections.B.Gluck's journey to success.C.The glories of Glucks poetry.D.The features of Gluck's poetry.3.阅读理解Could looking through trees be the view to a greener future? Trees replacing the clear glass in your windows is not a work of science fiction. It's happening now.Forest Products Laboratory researcher Junyong Zhu together with colleagues from the University of Maryland and University of Colorado has developed a transparent wood material that may be the window of tomorrow. Researchers found that transparent wood has the potential to outperform glass currently used in construction in nearly every way.While glass is the most common material used in window construction, it comes with quite a few bad consequences. Heat easily transfers through glass and amounts to higher energy bills when it escapes during cold weather and pours in when it's warm. Glass production used for construction also comes with a heavy carbon footprint. Manufacturing emissions alone are approximately 25,000 metric tons per year, without considering the heavy footprint of transporting the glass.The innovation was developed using wood from the balsa tree, which is native to South and Central America. The team treated balsa wood to an oxidizing bath, where the wood is kept in a bleach solution at room temperature to remove the light-absorbing substance from the structure. The wood is then penetrated (注入) with a synthetic polymer called polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), creating a product that is virtually transparent. So the transparent wood is created, which is far more durable and lighter than glass.Switching to transparent wood could prove to be cost efficient as well. It is approximately five times more thermally efficient than glass, cutting energy costs. It is made from a sustainable, renewable resource with low carbon emissions.With all of these potential benefits for consumers, manufacturing and the environment, the case for transparent wood couldn't be clearer.（1）What is the main problem with glass used in window construction?A.It is inefficient in letting heat out.B.It is inconvenient to transport.C.It causes a high ecological price.D.It scarcely reflects light and heat.（2）What does the underlined part "a bleach solution" refer to?A.A way to make colors fade.B.A liquid to make objects pale.C.A container to store liquids.D.A process to solve problems.（3）What do the researchers probably agree with?A.Innovation is the vitality of scientific housing.B.Things are not always what they seem.C.There are more ways to the wood than one.D.There is nothing permanent except change.（4）What is the author's attitude toward transparent wood?A.Skeptical.B.Ambiguous.C.Appreciative.D.Conservative.4.阅读理解Half of all work tasks will be handled by machines by 2025 in a shift likely to worsen inequality, a World Economic Forum report has forecast.The think tank said a "robot revolution" would create 97 million jobs worldwide but destroy almost as many, leaving some communities at risk. Routine or manual jobs in administration and data processing were most atthreat of automation, WEF said. But it said there would be a need for new jobs in care, big data and the green economy.The WEF surveyed 300 of the world's biggest companies, with more than 8 million employees globally. More than 50% of employers surveyed said they expected to speed up the automation of some roles in their companies, while 43% felt they were likely to cut jobs due to technology.WEF said the pandemic (疫情) had sped up the adoption of new technologies as firms looked to cut costs and adopt new ways of working. But it warned workers now faced a double threat from "accelerating automation and the economic impact from the Covid-19"."These things have deepened existing inequalities across labor markets and removed gains in employment made since the global financial crisis in 2007-2008," said Saadia Zahidi, managing director at WEF. "The window of opportunity for active management of this change is closing fast."WEF said currently around a third of all work tasks were handled by machines, with humans doing the rest, but by 2025 the balance would shift. Roles that relied on human skills such as advising, decision-making, reasoning, communicating and interacting would rise in demand. There would also be a sudden large increase in demand for workers to fill green economy jobs, and new roles in areas like engineering and cloud computing.But it said millions of routine or manual jobs would be displaced by technology, affecting the lowest paid, lowest skilled workers the most. It said millions would need to be re-skilled to cope with the change, while governments would have to provide "stronger safety nets" for displaced workers.（1）Who are included in "some communities" mentioned in Paragraph 2?A.Unskilled workers.B.Software engineers.C.Career consultants.anic fanners.（2）What is the purpose of paragraphs 3 and 4?A.To analyse the reliability of the figures and facts.B.To provide supporting evidence for the main idea.C.To introduce two events for discussion.D.To highlight two causes of the effects.（3）What do the displaced people expect their governments to do?A.Slow down the automation.B.Strengthen social security.C.Improve network safety.D.Promote the Robot Revolution.（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Further inequalities from the Robot Revolution.B.A double threat from automation and pandemic.C.Half of all work tasks to be lost.D.Half of all work tasks to be automated.二、任务型阅读（共1题；共5分）5.任务型阅读Do you waste food?How much food do you buy each week? Are you someone who fills your fridge and cupboards with treats so that you'll always have something to eat and so that you'll never go hungry? ________Throwing away unwanted food has become a big issue in the developed world. While some of us throw away unwanted items, people in other parts of world face food shortages and are starving. ________ The actual figure is 1.3 billion tons of food, which is enough to feed a billion hungry people.You may think supermarkets are mainly to blame for this mountain of food. After all, they do cast stuff that's past its sell — by — date. They've also been criticized for encouraging customers to buy more than they need. ________ In Europe an incredible 53% of food waste comes from households, which results in 88 million tons of food waste a year. So instead of filling our bellies, our food is filling up landfill sites. Unfortunately, this causes greenhouse gases which eventually leads to global warming and climate change.In Denmark, a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to tackle this problem. She convinced some supermarkets to stop selling their items in quantity so that people bought only what they needed. She's set up an education program in schools. ________________ And when we're at home we should make the most of the food we have — using recipes that use up our leftovers or even sharing our extra food with our friends and neighbours.A. People buy more than they need and throw too much away.B. Or maybe, you're efficient with your shopping, only buying what you need.C. But the biggest contributor to food waste is us.D.

ATravel in EuropeInstead of Santorini, TinosSantorini has been struggling with overtourism for years, a victim of its own success after the island, and the Greek government, sought to lure tourists back following an 8-year financial crisis Now this idyllic destination has reached a saturation point.A more authentic Greece — the one that Santorini offered before the crowds — can be found in the Cycladic haven of Tinos. With its own enchanting sunsets and rugged charm, this under-the-radar gem is an alluring alternative.Instead of Amsterdam, Delft and The HagueIn 2017 Amsterdam was visited by 19 million people, two million more than live in the entirecountry. The city has a particular problem with tourists on a tight budget — many arriving via low-cost airlines from Britain, France, Germany and beyond, and staying at Airbnbs, in hostels or in their cars and, spending much of their time partying in the red-light district. There the crowds get so dense that on weekend summer nights rescue workers often can’t get to people who fall sick or faint.Another two destinations can be easily combined: Delft and, about 10 miles away, The Hague, the seat of Dutch government. Both are ideal for visitors looking for great museums, canals, wild North Sea beaches — and no crowds.Instead of Barcelona, ValenciaFor a less frenetic dose of cosmopolitan Mediterranean charm head 220 miles down the coast to Valencia, Spain’s third-largest city, with 800,000 residents and barely 2 million visitors per year. Founded as a retirement community for Roman soldiers, it has many of the same attributes as Barcelona — both were ancient walled cities — with a sprawling, mazelike center filled with Gothic, Romanesque, Rena issance and Baroque architecture. All styles were combined in Valencia’s Cathedral, built between the 13th and 18th centuries; architectural purists should not miss the15th-century Silk Exchange, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a stunning reminder of the city’s mercantile importance.1. What can we learn from Santorini?A. It is still the popular place.B. It is an attractive choice.C. It will win tourists back.D. It suffered overtourism.2. In Amsterdam, the crowds are so dense that .A. the streets are bustling with noise and excitement.B. some people can’t be treated in time.C. more visitors will be disturbed.D. many people fall sick or faint.3. What’s the author’s purpose to write this passage?A. Recommend some better places to visit.B. Introduce some new places to visit.C. Criticize some crowded places.D. Blame the improper tourism.【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A【解析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了欧洲旅游的三个好去处。

AIt's been a decade since the launch of Airbnb and Uber, now considered a part of life for many people booking trips and journeys. In that time, several boat sharing apps have been working hard to regulate how people rent boats or book activities on the water.Many of them have a similar business model to Airbnb, where customers rent boats directly from owners. GetMyBoat is the market leader with over 130,000 boats. The founders had the idea when they were sailing in the Atlantic and noticed that large numbers of boats were unused.The company has grown from having a presence primarily in the lop boating cities in the US to having boats available in 9 ,300 destinations across 184 countries. Since it first started, GetMyBoat has sent over 120,000 people out boating. This year, it is projecting to send 65 ,000 people out on the water, a dramatic increase from the 53 people who booked a boat in its first year back in 2013.US competitors include Boatsetter, which has 25 ,000 boats available across the world. Parisian- based Click&Boal has 30,000 boats globally and in the Mediterranean, Samboat is a major player with 25 ,000 boats.It's an obvious win for boat owners who are looking for ways to minimize （使最小化）the cost of owning a boat by renting it out. And modem technology means that the boat can find nearby customers without being registered to a specific boating agency as in the past.Safety issues are very important. Boatbound failed after a customer lost a leg in an accident because the company didn't require that people hire captains with the boats, something that its competitors do.The market is changing in that fewer people are seeking to buy their own boats, while the number of people who want to experience boating is growing. This new market is allowing people to search for and book water experiences that offer something new.1．What impressed the founders of GetMyBoat during their sailing in the Atlantic?A．The wide use of Airbnb. B．The popularity of water activities.C．The large quantity of unused boats. D．The large number of boats in the world.2．How does the author explain GetMyBoat's business development?A．By listing numbers. B．By making comparison.C．By following the time order. D．By referring to its founders' words.3．Why did Boatbound go downhill?A．Because the company couldn't find ways to minimize the cost of owning a boat.B．Because the competitors lay too much pressure on Boatbound.C．Because the company was in lack of modern technology.D．Because of a safely accident resulting from the company's carelessness.BA music talent show launched by Mango TV has caught the attention of domestic TV channel viewers recently. This entertainment program, whose Chines e name translates to “Sisters Who Brave Winds and Waves”, invited 30 established actresses in their thirties, put them up in an apartment where they competed against each other and then selected five among them to form a new star group.While young hopeful s are commonly considered to be the protagonists of music talent show, “Sisters Who Brave Winds and Waves” turns out to be an outlier. Apart from showcasing female stars musical talent, this show tries to deliver a positive message that age should not be the barrier for female entertainers to chase their dreams. The reality that most female entertainers have a short “shelf life” needs to be changed.Attracted by the unique theme of Mango TV’s new show, many Chinese viewers were desperate for the show’s debu t. The first episode aired last week received 10 million views within the first 20 minutes. Following the initial success, Mango Excellent Media’s stock rose by nearly 9% on Friday and another 7% on Monday. The company’s market value has now surpassed 100 billion yuan ($ 14 billion).The value of this show was not only recognized by the market, but also the majority of Chinese viewers. Many netizens made good comments on the new show as it encouraged them to explore their inner potential no matter how old t hey are. One wrote, “Of course, young stars in their late teens and early 20s are beautiful. But I feel more impressed by these celebrities over the age of 30.” She went on to say that their confidence and ambition make them shine, and that age is just a number.The Mango TV’s new show comes as a welcome relief, which demonstrates that charm and ambition is not limited to the young age. In fact, such age equality should extend to all professions to ensure that people with all ages could be treated equally in pursuit of their career goals.4．What does the underlined word “outlier” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Surprise. B．Success.C．Failure. D．Exception.5．How did the entertainment market react after Mango TV’s new show was released?A．The company’s market value has now exceeded 14 billion dollars.B．Mango Excellent Media’s stock rose by nearly 16% over the weekend.C．Nearly 10 million viewers watched the first episode within the first hour.D．The debut of the new show did not affect the company's market value.6．What do we know from the netizen’s comment on the newly released show?A．She thinks young celebrities are not attractive to the audience.B．She holds the view that Mango TV’s new show is conventional.C．She believes charm could make the celebrities shine no matter their age.D．She complains about age discrimination in the entertainment industry,.7．What can we infer about the author from the text?A．He/She aims to purse gender equality.B．He/She protests against age discrimination.C．He/She is a fan of musical shows.D．He/She dreams about being an actor/actress.CBlack rhinos(犀牛) have terrible eyesight. Even so, these African giants easily fend off hungry predators such as lions and hyenas. Their basic body plan has proved to be good enough to survive on African grasslands full of large predators, being very large, thick-skinned, big sword-like horns.But those protective traits(特征) are no match for humans with guns. Today the species is critically endangered largely due to poaching. But the rhinos may have an unlikely ally against poachers: the red-billed oxpecker. The chatty, sociable birds often hang out on the backs of rhinos, feasting on parasitic ticks(寄生虫).And actually, research has shown that the tick is the favorite diet of an oxpecker.The birds a lso get nutrients by picking at sores on the rhinos’ bodies. Victoria University of Melbourne behavioral ecologist Roan Plotz suspected that the rhinos put up with this indignity because the oxpeckers make loud alarm calls whenever they see humans approach, giving the rhinos an early warning to flee.To test whether the oxpeckers do, in fact, act as noisy lookouts, Plotz and his team implanted(植入) radio transmitters in the rhinos’ horns. This didn’t hurt the rhinos and allowed the researchers to track the animals.“And approach them undetected, when the oxpeckers were on the back and when the oxpeckers were not on their backs, to get an idea of if the birds do alarm them and if the rhinos do listen.”The researchers found that rhinos without oxpeckers detected an approaching human only 23 percent of the time, at an average distance of 27 meters. But when oxpeckers were present, the birds alarmed the rhinos 100 percent of the time. And they detected the human 61 meters away on average. And the more oxpeckers on the scene , the greater the detection distance.“It makes sense because the more eyes you have on your back, looking out for you, the more chance that they can pick up anything coming. There can be no doubt that the rhino is listening on the oxpecker alarm call.”8．What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph mean?A．Defend against. B．Feed.C．Hide from. D．Attract.9．Why do the birds hang on the back of rhinos?A．To protect rhinos from poachers. B．To seek protection from rhinos.C．To f ind food over the rhino’s body.D．To let rhinos carry them around.10．What do the researchers find?A．Rhinos have poor eyesight. B．The birds alarm and rhinos listen.C．There are many ticks on rhinos. D．The birds have sharp eyes.11．What can best describe the relationship between the birds and rhinos?A．They protect each other from dangers. B．They are food source for each other.C．They depend on each other for survival. D．They have win-win partnership.DMental health is deteriorating(恶化)among young people globally.The incidence of depression and anxiety is increasing, and this not only lowers quality of life, but can have a lasting negative impact as an adolescent reaches adulthood.Many experts are trying to get at the root causes of this decline, in order to find ways to prevent further deterioration and to provide more effective help when needed. Two “emerging determinants of interest” are (a) over use of screen-based technology, and (b) too little time spent in nature. Most research to date has considered these factors independently, but a group of scientists from University of Adelaide recently decided to look at them jointly, to see if the combination of high screen time (ST) and low “green time” (GT), could affect mental wellbeing.The result is published on September 4, 2020, in the scientific journal PLOS One. In it, the researchers analyzed data from 186 studies that looked at children's interactions with screen-based technology and nature and their psychological outcomes, including mental health, cognitive(认知的) functioning, and academic achievement.What they found was that, in general, excessive screen time results in poorer psychological health, whereas green time improves mental wellbeing. Ten years ago in the U.S., the average daily screen time for 8-to-18-year-olds was 7.5 hours. As the study states, “This greatly exceeds recreational ST guidelines of 2 hours or less per day,” and is made even more challenging by the fact that so many schools are usingtechnology to teach classes.While some screen time can be beneficial, such as promoting connections and enabling tasks to be done more efficiently, there are many ways in which it is harmful. Excessive screen time “replaces important protective behaviors for mental health such as physical activity, getting adequate sleep, in-person social interactions, and academic activities.”And yet, when children do go outside, they become more physically active. Their day-night rhythm is regulated, thanks to the exposure to sunlight, thus “e ncouraging healthy sleep-wake cycles and improved sleep, which is key for psychological well-being.”12．The research of the University of Adelaide is different because________?A．The researchers tried to find the root causes.B．The researchers analyzed large amounts of data.C．The researchers tried to find a solution.D．They combined ST and GT.13．What are the findings of their research?A．Mental health is worsening among young people globally.B．School technology contributes to the most screen time.C．ST and GT have opposite impact on mental health.D．Guidelines of screen time shouldn’t be more than two hours.14．Why does over screen time affect mental health?A．It replaces mentally healthy behaviors.B．There is too much unhealthy information on the screen.C．Teens can’t break away from screen addiction.D．Teens can’t sleep well after screen time.15．What is implied in the passage?A．Over screen time worsens teens’ health.B．Teens need more green time, less screen time.C．Teens should be banned from any screen time.D．Screen-based technology shouldn’t be allowed in schools.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Hao Jingfang, a Tsinghua University alumna, is pursuing her passion for writing and education.In 2016, she won the prestigious Hugo Award with her novella, Folding Beijing, which made her the first female writer in China to bring home this prize.

It’s not a new pandemic(传染病) —it’s influenza.The 2019-2020 flu season, which began September 29, is projected to be one of the worst in a decade, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. At least 250,000 people have been hospitalized with symptoms from the flu, and that number is predicted to climb as flu activity spreads quickly.Dr. Nathan Chomilo, an assistant professor at University of Minnesota Medical School, said that the monness of the flu often underplays its severity, but people should take it seriously.The flu bees dangerous when secondary infections emerge, the result of an already weakened immune system. Bacterial and viral infections worsen the flu’s symptoms. People with chronic illnesses are also at a heightened risk for flu plications.Those plications include pneumonia(肺炎), inflammation in the heart and brain and organ failure —which, in some cases, can be deadly.Influenza is tricky because the virus changes every year. Sometimes, the dominant strain in a flu season will be more virulent than in previous years, which can impact the number of people infected and the severity of their symptoms.Most of these changes in the virus are small and insignificant, a process called antigenic drift. That year’s flu vaccine is mostly effective in protecting patients in spite of these small changes.Occasionally, the flu undergoes a rare antigenic shift, which results when a pletely new strain of virus emerges that human bodies haven’t experienced before.This flu season, there’s no sign of antigenic shift, the most extreme change. But it’s happened before, most recently in 2009 with the H1N1 virus. It became a pandemic because people had no immunity against it, the CDC reported.8. What do the numbers indicate in the first two paragraphs?A. The flu is rather serious.B. The flu is quite mon.C. The flu is easy to control.D. The flu season lasts long.9. When does the flu bee dangerous?A. There appear new symptoms of flu owing to antigenic shift.B. The number of patients bees large with the virus spreading.C. Relative infections turn up because of the weaker immune system.D. The virus changes its form with no immunity against it.10. The underlined word “virulent”in paragraph 6 means ___________.A. changeableB. deadlyC. peacefulD. different11. Why is the H1N1 virus in 2009 referred to in the last paragraph?A. To warn people that the antigenic shift is impossible.B. To inform people that the virus can be cured.C. To show people that the vaccine is effective.D. To remind people that the virus can be changed.DWhen talking about the economics of online publishing, the first thing to remember is that job No. 1 isn’t to get the news to you. Rather, it is to monetize you, by selling you off, in real time, to the highest bidder. This happens every time you click on a link, before the page has even started to load on your phone. Once upon a time, if you and I both visited高考the same web page at the same time using the same web browser, we would end up seeing the same thing. Today, however, an almost unthinkably enormous ecosystem of scripts and cookies and often astonishingly personal information is used to show you a set of brand messages and sales links which are tailored almost uniquely to you.That ecosystem raises important questions about privacy —the way that the minute you look at a pair of shoes online, for instance, they then start following you around every other website you visit for weeks. But whether or not you value your privacy, you are damaged, daily, by the sheer weight of all that technology.Online ads have never got less annoying over time, and you can be sure that mobile ads are going to get more annoying as well, once Silicon Valley has worked out how to better identify who you are. The move to greater privacy protections might help slow the pace with which such technologies are adopted. But there’s no realistic hope that websites will actually improve from here. If you want to avoid the dreadful experience of the mobile web, you’ll only have one choice —which is to start reading your articles natively, in the Facebook or Apple News app. But it won’t be Facebook and Apple who killed the news brands. It’ll be ad tech.12. What will happen if two people click on the same link today?A. They will immediately get the news that they want.B. They will see the same thing whenever they browse.C. They will see different brand messages and sales links.D. They will be remended to the same bidder.13. Why can the online ads send you the links unique to you?A. Because the ecosystem knows who you are.B. Because they know how to identify who you are.C. Because you don’t care about your privacy.D. Because you always use the same web browser.14. How could we protect our privacy against mobile ads?A. By slowing the pace with such technologies.B. By improving the website functions.C. By stopping using the mobile phones.D. By reading articles in specific apps.15. What’s the author’s attitude to the ad tech?A. Negative.B. Positive.C. Unconcerned.D. Optimistic.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2021届高考英语预测猜题卷 新高考版 广东地区专用 Word (详解)
2021年高考英语预测猜题卷新高考版本试卷满分120分，考试时间100分钟。
第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AA new guidebook showcasing Hainan, China's southernmost province, to English-speaking readers was launched on Sept. 9 at The Commercial Press head office in Beijing.Produced by the award-winning international team of writers and editors behind The World of Chinese, this book Hainan: Jade Cliffs to Ocean Paradise dives deep into the natural, cultural and humanistic sides of an island lately associated with retirees and real estate."Most travel guides stop at telling you where and how to visit," said Chu Dandan, chief editor of The World of Chinese, at the book's launch event. "Our book tells you why you should visit." What moves readers are "more than just sea and coconuts," Chu said, "but the people and the stories in between."From Hainan's famous beach resorts to its backcountry interior, the book's writers went across the province in search of little-told tales — trekking(跋涉) up its primeval(原始的) hills and through its rainforests, sipping tea and coffee with locals, visiting the homes of fishermen and ethnic minorities and discovering the passions of marine archaeologists, conservationists and surfers.These personal experiences and first-hand conversations are reflected in each of the book's chapters on Hainan's ecology, history, culture, leisure, food, sports and economy. These topics are then brought to life by original photographs, hand-drawn maps, interviews with native authors and scholars and profiles on colorful individuals and communities."One of the things I was not expecting to find was a quaint little fishing village. Inevitably, modem elements permeate the beauty of ancient elegance. The village has been quietly half-occupied by a growing modem surfing community," Sam Davies, one of the writers, told the audience about visiting the village of Houhai in Sanya."I was able to talk to some locals and others about how the village has changed, what it has meant for people's lives, and how surfing is just starting to develop in China," Davies said."Our aim is to create something that will go far," Gu Qing, general secretary of The Commercial Press, said at the book launch. "I believe Hainan's development will exceed even the predictions in this book, and we hope this book and Hainan will go out into the world together."For more information about the book, please leave messages below.1. Why is Hainan: Jade Cliffs to Ocean Paradise different from other books?A. It tells you where and how to visit.B. It introduces sea and coconuts in detail.C. It tells you why you should visit Hainan.D. It is produced by an award-winning international team.2. What does the underlined word "quaint" in Paragraph 6 mean?A. Old.B. Quiet.C. Beautiful.D. Seaside.3. Where is the text most likely from?A. A guidebook.B. A travel magazine.C. A news website.D. A biography.BTwenty years ago, I became involved in pet therapy (疗法) work with our Angel. As she matured and went through professional training, we realized that she would be good at this new job.Angel is ten now and works every week. She visits two hospitals, providing day care for the elderly, and our library's PAWS for Reading program. At the library, six to ten dogs lie on the floor, and the kids pick a book to read to a dog. After they finish, they get a card with the dog's picture and history. Angel also helps out at a special-needs camp. She is so popular that everywhere we go people recognize her, especially the kids she has worked with.We have seen some very special things through our pet therapy work. I brought Angel to our local hospital to visit a woman who was completely unable to move the right side of her body from a stroke (中风). One day, my husband, Jack, got Angel up into a chair next to the woman's bed, asking her if she wanted to give Angel a treat. She nodded. Angel gently took the treat. Then the woman raised her right hand and started petting Angel. Her friend couldn't believe her eyes.After that, every time we saw the woman, she lifted her left hand. We'd tell her she had to use her right hand, and she would. Next, you'll fall in love with this woman's story of rearing her own Angel later in her family and why she calls it the best decision she ever made.4. Who is Angel?A. A pet trainer.B. A hospital carer.C. A therapy dog.D. The author's kid.5. What does Angel usually do?A. Save seriously ill people.B. Pay visits to kids in hospital.C. Protect the elderly in their homes.D. Help children at a special camp.6. Why was the woman's friend astonished?A. The woman moved her right hand.B. The woman treated Angel.C. Angel helped the woman recover.D. Angel got along with the woman.7. What does the underlined word "rearing" in the last paragraph mean?A. Accompanying.B. Raising.C. Assisting.D. Training.CTime famine (饥荒), a term refers to the universal feeling of having too much to do but not enough time to deal with those demands. Spending money on time-saving purchases may protect you from effects time famine can have on your happiness, suggests a new study of which Ashley Whillans served as a lead author. Whillans has experienced that recently, who was trying to move to a new city for a new job, and felt there weren't enough hours in the days leading up to her move."Then I have groceries delivered to my house. I have someone that I don't know move away my boxes, which brings up a whole bunch of feelings. I honestly think, if it wasn't for doing this research and the move, I might have had some concern about those purchases," Whillans says. "It requires forward planning and mental abilities to think forward. But that indeed reduces negative effects of feeling stressed for time." The new study included self-reported data on 6, 271 adults of various income levels from various countries. The researchers found that, regardless of their levels, spending money on buying time was associated with greater life satisfaction and less anxiety. On the surface, the study may seem like it's offering a solution only for the affluent, but it also points out how time famine and buying time influence us all. "I think our research actually flies in the face of the prejudgment on time-saving purchases," says Elizabeth Dunn, a co-author of the study. "Sometimes when people imagine time-saving services maybe what they're picturing is a housekeeper, maids, and a gardener, but what we're talking about is that just spending $ 40 makes a difference.""Actually, the thing that surprised me most from our findings is how few people actually spend their money in a way that we would classify as being time-saving, even when they have the ability and when doing so may benefit overall wellbeing and life satisfaction," Dunn says. She adds they planned to conduct follow-up studies on the phenomenon. "I believe we can figure it out."8. What has Whillans learned from her recent experience?A. Asking strangers for help is uneasy.B. Buying time improves mental abilities.C. Forward planning is a must for researchers.D. Saving time by spending money is worthwhile.9. What does "affluent" underlined in paragraph 3 mean?A. Busy.B. Wealthy.C. Anxious.D. Public.10. What will the researchers study next?A. Measures to deal with time famine.B. Ways to persuade people to buy time.C. People's opinions on time-saving services.D. Reasons people are unwilling to buy time.11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. Buy time — A Common PhenomenonB. Time Famine — We All Feel ItC. Buy time — Increase Your HappinessD. Time Famine — No Longer a ProblemDCigarettes aren't just harmful when they're being smoked. Even when cigarette ends go out and are cold, new research has found they continue to give off harmful chemicals in the air. In the first 24 hours alone, scientists say a used cigarette end will produce 14 percent of the nicotine (尼古丁) that an actively burning cigarette would produce.While most of these chemicals are released within a day of being put out, an analysis for the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found the level of nicotine fell by just 50% five days later."I was absolutely surprised," says environmental engineer Dustin Poppendieck from the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). "The numbers are significant and could have important impacts when cigarette ends are dealt with indoors or in cars. While much attention has been paid to the health influence of first-hand, second-hand and now third-hand smoking, it is not the case when it comes to the actual cigarette end of the matter."To measure emissions(排放) from this forgotten thing, Poppendieck and his team placed 2, 100 cigarettes that were recently put out inside a special room. Once the ends were sealed away, the team measured eight chemicals commonly produced by cigarettes, four of which the FDA have their eye on for being harmful or potentially so.After setting the room's temperature, the researchers tested how emissions changed under certain conditions. When the air temperature of the room was higher, for instance, they noticed the ends produced these chemicals at higher rates. This finding might discourage those who want to leave ashtrays (烟灰缸) out for days at a time, especially in the heat.12. What do the researchers say about cigarette ends?A. They contain little nicotine.B. They produce no nicotine 5 days later.C. They give off nicotine for days.D. They create as much nicotine as burning cigarettes.13. What do Poppendieck's words suggest?A. First-hand smoking does most harm.B. The findings are within his expectation.C. Cigarettes should be dealt with indoors.D. Health influence of cigarette ends is ignored.14. Which word best describes the authors attitude to not cleaning ashtrays for days?A. Unclear.B. Disapproving.C. Unconcerned.D. Puzzled.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Used Cigarette Ends Release Harmful ChemicalsB. Cigarettes Are More Harmful While Being SmokedC. Research Found Reasons for Cigarette Ends' HarmD. Cigarette Ends Produce More Chemicals in the Heat第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

APeople are always looking for lost cities and occasionally one is found: Borobudur in Indonesia, for example. But perhaps some of the places people look for never existed—or did they ? Here are just a few famous mythical(神话里的) cities.El DoradoEl Dorado is a story that began in 1537, when Spanish explorers found the Muisca people in the mountains of what is now Colombia. They heard the story of a man who covered himself with gold and dived into a lake. Then people began to talk of El Dorado—“the golden man". Soon people started to think of El Dorado as a place, too—a city of gold and amazing riches. Nowadays, the name “El Dorado" is still used to mean "a place where you can get rich quickly”.AtlantisThere was once an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It was the mythical island of Atlantis. The people of the island were very rich, thanks to the natural resource on the island. For hundreds of years, they lived simple lives. But slowly they began to change. They started to want power. So the gods decided to destroy Atlantis. Suddenly, the island and its people were swallowed by the sea and were never seen again.ShambhalaIn Tibetan Buddhist traditions, Shambhala is a mystical country that is hidden somewhere behind the Himalayas. Shambhala is a word from an old language that means “a place of peace”or “a place of happiness”. It is said that there is no war in Shambhala, and in the future, when the world is full of war, a huge army will e out of Shambhala, destroy the world’s bad rulers, and start a new Golden Age. Some people say this will happen in 2424.1. Nowadays, the name“El Dorado”means“______”.A. ColombiaB. the golden manC. a place of great wealthD. a city with mountains2. Atlantis was destroyed by______.A. the godsB. its peopleC. its powerful enemiesD. its neighboring country3. What will probably happen in 2424 according to the last paragraph?A.

A21. Join the club and you are likely to get the following EXCEPT___________.A. a starter packB. bi-monthly magazinesC. a set of rare stampsD. a new calendar22.

On a TV program.【答案】21. C 22. D 23. B【解析】这是一篇应用文。
短文介绍了皇家集邮俱乐部的相关信息。
【21题详解】细节理解题。
本题采取排除法。
由短文左侧“A Starter Pack…And every two months，A new Stamp Calendar”可知，加入集邮俱乐部，你可以获得一个新会员服务包，一个精美的新的邮票日历，双月杂志。
而C选项未提及。
所以加入这个俱乐部，你得不到一套珍贵的邮票。
故选C项。
22题详解】细节理解题。
由短文左侧“There are over 70,000 members and it is one of the biggest clubs of its kind in the country.”可知，集邮俱乐部是国家同类俱乐部中最大的一个,有7万多个会员。
所以从广告中我们可以了解到集邮俱乐部是这个国家最大的集邮俱乐部之一。
故选D项。
【23题详解】推理判断题。
由短文中右侧“Already Registered?，Sign Here! View a Flash presentation about our club (3. 5MB)”可知，短文中出现了“注册了吗？填写这里，浏览一个 3.5m大小的关于我们俱乐部flash动画.”这样的信息，所以判断出这则广告最可能出现在网页上。
