Winnie the Pooh
by A A Milne
My father used to read this to me when I was very young — he used different voices for all the animals. The characterization (角色设定) was so clever; we all know someone just like each inhabitant of the HundredAcre Wood: gloomy Eeyore; thick but loyal Pooh; enthusiastic Tigger.
A A Milne was masterful in exploring the way they got along together, opening my eyes to how society really works.
Last Chance to See
by Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine
This book tells of the authors, adventures as they set out to find the rarest of animals, those on the edge of extinction.
Their travels are rather exciting and they share a wonderful humour, which really appealed to me. Yet underpinning (支撑) everything is the realization that we can't just sit back and allow species to disappear. PicturePalace
by Paul Theroux
I've always loved Theroux's travel writing, but this novel took my breath away. The words aren't long or complicated but, fromthat first paragraph, his writing grabs you by the nose hairs and drags you along. I had an art teacher who told me, “You're only an artist when you've found your own style, not when you're copying someone else, and Theroux represents this.”

A. To indicate the book has realistic values.

D. To prove the writer is good at creating characters.
2. What didLast Chance to Seestrike into Kate's heart?

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef has lost 50% of its corals (珊瑚) within 30 years, with climate change a key driver of reef disturbance, a new study has found.
Researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, inQueensland, northeasternAustralia, studied coral communities and theirsize along the length of theGreat Barrier Reefbetween 1995 and 2017, finding all coral populations disappear gradually, they said.
Reefs are important to the health of ocean ecosystems — without them, ecosystems break down and ocean life dies.
Coral population decreases happened in both shallow and deep water coral species, experts found, but branching and table-shaped corals — which provide habitats for fish — were worst affected by mass bleaching (漂白) events in 2016.
Warm ocean temperatures are the main reason of coral bleaching. Bleaching doesn’t kill coral immediately, but if temperatures remain high, eventually the coral will die, destroying a natural habitat for many species of ocean life.
“We used to think the Great Barrier Reef is protected by its huge size — but in fact our results show that even the world’s largest and ly well-protected reef system is increasingly destroyed and in decline,” Terry Hughes, an outstanding professor at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, said.
“There is no time to lose — we must sharply decrease greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible,” the reporter warned in the paper, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society journal.
4. What has mainly influenced the coral populations of theGreat Barrier Reef?
A. Destroyed habitats.
B. Climate change.
C. Lack of seafood.
D. Bleaching events.
5. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Many species has been dying out slowly.
B. The size of reefs contributes to their protection.
C. Ocean ecosystems don’t develop without reefs.
D. Bleaching continually disturbs table-shaped corals.
6. What attitude does the reporter hold to the present situation of theGreat Barrier Reef?
A. Worried.
B. Angry.
C. Hopeful.
D. Surprised.
7. What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. Climate change damages theGreat Barrier Reef
B. The Species of ocean Life Are In Danger
C. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Get Worse
D. Sea Ecosystems Are In Decline

It was New Year time, but I wasn’tlooking forward to it. That winter, my mother and my stepfather moved our family toSouthern California. My brother and I were leaving our ruralAlabamabehind. This would be our first New Year away fromAlabama. My mother took toCalifornialike a swan to a royal lake. My athletic little brother, Paul, was keyed up at a climate that allowed him to go to the beach whenever he wanted.
I, however, was a fat child with heavy southern pronunciation. My first day in the new class, I introduced myself in a low voice. The moment I opened my mouth to speak, the whole class burst into laughter, “He talks funny.” It was so frustrating that I went to place a call to Granny Smith after school, who was my biggest support, But I didn’t get through.
On Sunday evening, the phone rang. It was Granny. She often took advantage of the discounted long-distance rates on Sundays. She said she’d shipped a New Year package. Sure enough, it arrived. Surprised at the box, large enough to hold a small refrigerator, we eagerly tore it open. The smell of Granny’s house filled the room: a combination of fried meat, sausages, furniture polish and decorations. Her house was tiny and always filled withtackyholiday decorations and homemade food before New Year. But in my childhood eyes, it was precious and fantastic.
There were countless tins and containers. We open hem to discover piles of holiday treats. She even included
our traditional candy bats. The box was as bottomless as a magical box. There, beneath all these, was familiar holiday.
Every New Year that we spent inCalifornia, the postal service would call and say our package was arrived. Over the years, many treasures arrived in the box. For me, it’s always been the best part of the holiday.

A. Suitable.
B. Expensive.
C. Cheap.
D. Attractive.
11. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. Granny’s Care Package
B. An UnforgettableHoliday
C. Our Move toCalifornia
D. A Telephone Call from Granny
D
The early life of the green sea turtle (海龟) is full of danger. Only one in 1,000 baby sea turtles survive to adulthood (成年). From its home in the sand, it breaks its egg with an egg tooth. Its mother is not there to help it. Instead, it is greeted by crabs, coyotes,and dogs waiting to eat it for dinner. To survive, the baby turtle must hide in the sand until night. Then, it moves slowly to the sea.
The small turtle must swim hard to reach the ocean waters. In the sea, it tries hard to find food. It must also keep itself from being food for fish.
As dangerous as the sea turtle’s life is in the natural world, its most dangerous enemies are humans. The rubbish left by humans in the ocean causes problems for the small green sea turtle. A little turtle might eat a piece ofplastic (塑料) in the sea. It might also eat oil on the ocean’s surface. Young turtles also get caught in fishing nets. There are laws against hunting sea turtles. Still, many are hunted, both for their meat and for their shells (壳). All of these dangers must be prevented.
Sea turtles that do survive to grow into adulthood go through many changes. For example, adult green sea turtles weigh about 500 pounds. They stop eating jellyfish and other meat and eat only plants. And they may plan a trip to go back home again. A mother sea turtle goes back to the beach where she was born. This is the only place where she will lay eggs. Even if it has been forty years since she was a baby, she always knows her way back
home.
12. Why do baby turtles move to the sea at night?
A. They dislike sunshine.
B. They prefer lower temperatures.
C. They can find food easily then.
D. They need to avoid enemies.
13. What does the author think of the young turtles in Paragraph 3?
A. Pitiful.
B. Careless.
C. Interesting.
D. Courageous.
14. What can we learn about sea turtles?
A. They mainly feed on fish and meat.
B. They always produce eggs at their birthplaces.
C. They can live for around forty years.
D. They visit their beach homes several times a year.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The homes of green sea turtles.
B. How sea turtles find their food.
C. The dangers faced by sea turtles.
D. How young turtles become adults.

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。

选项中有两项为多余选项In an effort to stop the pandemic's advance, we may be finding ourselves taking certain precautionary (预防的) measures and maintaining a reasonable degree of social distance. Our habits have had to change to accommodate the reality of coronavirus.___16___
People are advised against touching high-touch surfaces in public places, including elevator buttons, door handles, and especially other people's hands. Consequently, the traditional habit of handshake has been substituted for other gestures, like elbow bump (碰撞)and foot tap, which involve less bodily contact.___17___The foot tap and the elbow bump have a way of feeling vaguely ridiculous, and it's hard to take them entirely seriously, especially in business settings. Centuries of tradition has normalized handshake in our culture, and it may be too deeply rooted in our custom to be abandoned.
___18___In 1996, a sales manager developed an experiment to test the impact of the handshake on strangers. He found that more people told the truth when he introduced himself to them with a handshake before asking the question." A handshake, "he later told The New York Times, "creates a higher level of trust, a degree of familiarity, within a matter of seconds."
With more communication on screen, the handshake is an occasion to reach out and touch one another, to enjoy a tiny, fleeting connection.___19___And meeting someone face to face, whether a client or a colleague, always suggests a closer level of familiarity than merely touching base online.
As the coronavirus spreads and habits change, it may prove that you can't fist bump or foot tap a handshake either. There's something in human nature that responds to the handshake. It feels good to shake the hand of someone you respect or admire, to have that moment of bonding.___20___When COVID-19 is a distant memory, chances seem good that the handshake will prevail (流行)again.
A.The handshake is the first thing to go.
B.In a sense it can't be seriously replaced.
C.The handshake is a way of maintaining relationships.
D.The real human contact feels all the more precious now.
E.The handshake is also a rare gesture of casual closeness.
F.These touch-free alternatives are likely to replace the handshake.
G.However, adjusting to these new forms of greeting has been difficult.

Since astronomers confirmed the presence of planets beyond our solar system, called exoplanets, humans_________41._________(wonder) how many could harbor life.
Now, we're one step closer to ______42.______(find) an answer. According to the Kepler space telescope, about half the stars similar in temperature ______43.______our Sun could have a rocky planet capable of supporting liquid water on its surface.

That's a wide range of different stars, each with ______48.______own particular properties impacting whether the rocky planets in its orbit are capable of supporting liquid water. These complexities are partly why it is so difficult to calculate how many potentially habitable planets are out there, especially when even our______49.______(powerful) telescopes can just barely detect these small planets. That's_______50._______the research team took a new approach.

Dear fellow students,
As is known to us, our government is trying to make our city National Civilized City at present. We hope we can also do our best to help fulfill this goal.
First of all, we should mind our language and become civilized speakers. Always remember to say "Please" and "Thanks" and don’t talk and laugh loudly in public. Seen people in trouble, we might as well lent them a helping hand. In addition to, be civilized citizens. We must obey traffic rules and never cross the streets before the traffic lights become red. Keeping our environment cleanly is also necessary, that means you shouldn’t litter or spit in public places. Only by starting with the little things around us can we make a great difference to our city image.
Let's take measure now and join our hands together to make our city more civilized.
第二节书面表达（满分25分）
52.阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Mike licked (舔) the last of the chocolate ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet. When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place.
A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite flavored ice cream before they left home. As Mike climbed out the pool, his teammates patted (拍) him on the back. He'd taken first place again in his race.
As it turned out, Mike decided to have some chocolate ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets that came up. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of being placed in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn't admit it, but he was also starting to feel a little uncomfortable. All that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer's build.
It didn't take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place — and then third — and then last place in his races. The lucky chocolate ice cream had lost its magic. On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him.“Mike, I think we need to talk about this. We all love ice cream, but it's got lots of fat and sugar in it, and it's not healthy for your body to eat so much of it.”Mike reluctantly agreed. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices.
It was the last meet of the season, and Mike wasn't sure what to expect. He felt healthy again, but he didn't
know if he still had any speed in the pool.
