ABook towns started with Hay-on-Wye in the UK: now there are communities around the world that celebrate the written word.Biblo Toyen, OsloThis children-only library is aimed at 10 to 15 year olds. Adults are not allowed in and must wait outside for their children to come out. The library is run along normal lines, with library Cards for borrowing books, and is particularly well suited to children after the school day is over.After consulting young readers in focus groups, the designers have put a truck with a functional kitchen in the back (the library also runs activities including cookery courses) and a reading sofa. Books are arranged by themes, which means no book has a fixed location. At night, a machine flies around the library to scan and update the books' positions.Bellprat, Catalonia, SpainIn many ways, this small village is the ideal book town. It is in a beautiful rural setting in Catalonia's Anoia region, yet only 90km from Barcelona. It has an attractive centre and its population is enthusiastic about throwing open its doors to book-loving visitors, Bellprat is also the first book town in Catalonia.During the town's main festival on the first weekend in June-several village houses are temporarily turned into secondhand book shops, as there are not enough stalls(摊位) in the market. The books on sale are mainly in the Catalan language, however As well as promoting the village, the book town label is used for good causes: at a recent festival, there was an activity in which books could be exchanged in return for donations to a food bank. Other book based events range from meetings and readings to events run by independent publishers.This is very much a community run book town From simple beginnings in 2008. it now offers visitors more than 20.000 books for sale This is impressive, given that the population of the village is under 100.1. what may people see if they are in the library in Biblo Toyen?A.

Hold meetings among publishers.BShane McDaniel posted photos of him and his twin sons surrounded by enough firewood to fill 80 trucks on Facebook. They'd spent months cutting and piling up the firewood, valued at about $10,000. However, they had no intention of selling it- they were giving it away to people in need. "No one feels cold in our neighborhood this holiday season," McDaniel wrote in his post, offering to deliver firewood, free of charge, to neighbors who needed a hand heating their homes.Cutting firewood is their favorite activity. By late summer, the McDaniels' house was surrounded by a big wall of firewood. Once the firewood started piling up high, people would pull up daily and ask to buy some. "We politely told them none of it was for sale and they'd look at us like we were crazy," Shane McDaniel said, adding that he was surprised at how many people burned firewood as their only source of heat.Since early November, McDaniel and his sons have brought the firewood to hundreds of people who don't have money to heat their homes, and there was still more firewood to be delivered. Single mom Katelyn Ticer, who lived in a mobile home in Lake Stevens with her 3-year- old daughter, was excited to get a delivery from the McDaniels, as a wood-burning stove was her only source of heat." Getting that much firewood moved me to tears," Ticer said. "I couldn't be more thankful."Once the McDaniels' generosity was widely known to people, others in the Lake Stevens community started joining in, Local food bank volunteers helped sort through the firewood requests and make delivery lists. A company offered free chimney cleaning. There are so many donation offers, and people show up day or night to drop off truckloads of firewood to add to the McDaniels' pile.4 .Why did MeDaniel make the post on Facebook?A. To call on more people to join him in helping others.B. TO share his experience of cutting firewood.C. To offer the firewood he cut down for free.D. To sell the firewood he gathered.5. What made people surprised at the MeDaniels?A. They cut down so much firewood.B. They didn't want to sell the firewood.C. They put the firewood near their house.D. They needed so much firewood to heat their house.6. What do we know about Katelyn Ticer?A. She suffered from lack of firewood.B. She knew the McDaniels for a long time.C. She helped with the delivery of firewood.D. She made the news widely known to people.7. What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?A. East or west, home is best.B. Many hands make light work.C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. Little people can make a big difference.CA green field runs along the northern border of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, next to one of its runways. This is the workplace of some most unusual employees, who spend their time eating as much as they want.These seasonal workers are farm animals- goats, sheep and one donkey(驴) who help manage the landscape of one of America's busiest airports by eating overgrown vegetation. Goats, in particular, are increasingly used to eat grass at parks in urban areas. But at an airport, the hungry herd(畜群) serves a different purpose. They clear long grasses and invasive species. Their eating helps make habitats less attractive to wild animals that can disturb airport operations, like, a raccoon(浣熊) on a runway, or unfortunate birds caught in a flight path. "Tall grass provides harbor for small mammals(哺乳动物) that are then food for bigger creatures like eagles. We suggest short grass," says a biologist working with O'Hare. The donkey has an extra job: He protects his colleagues from wolves, which see the field as a site for their buffet.The airport chooses a new group of grass-eaters every year. This latest group belongs to Andrew Tokarz, who raised them on his farm in Lemont, Illinois. They arrived in June 2019 and stayed for three months. During this time, they ate their way across 11.5 acres of land, which was separated from the dangerous runway by a fence(栅栏), and the road, by a river and electric fencing.One might think the noise of planes might frighten these gentle employees. Tokarz's animals stopped when they first heard the noise, but they quickly realized the source wasn't threatening. When the third one came by, they didn't even raise their heads. "Actually they acclimated within five minutes," he says.As the herd settles, the area becomes less welcoming to dangerous wildlife which is for their good, as they wouldn't get into dangerous zones. An airport is a terrible place for wildlife like birds. But it's a perfect place for the grass-eaters.8. Where does the herd of farm animals work?A. Around a small river.B. In an area close to a runway.C. Around n park near the airport.D. On a farm near the airport.9 Why does O’Hare International Airport employ the herd?A. To scare away wild animals.B. To free birds caught in flight paths.C. To beautify the local environment.D. To improve the safety of the airport.10. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "acclimated”in Paragraph 47A. Fitted in.B. Took off:C. Got along.D. Looked out.11. What can we infer from the text?A The donkey is there only for protection.B.No animals are welcome near the airport.C. Wolves may threaten the lives of the grass eaters.D. Tokarz's animals returned home in 2020.DRecently 1 read Nineteen Eighty-Four, a book by George Orwell set in a totalitarian state where even the language people use is controlled. Adjectives are forbidden and instead people use phrases such as "plus good" and "double plus good" to express emotions. As 1 first read this, I thought how impossible it would be in our society to have such vocabulary.However, the more I think about it, the more I realize it's happening in its own way.I type messages to my friends and alongside each are the emojis(表情符号). I often use them to emphasize something because they express my emotions much better than I ever could using just words. And I wonder, with our overuse of emojis, if we are losing the beauty and diversity of our vocabulary.English has the largest vocabulary in the world, but who's to say what it’ll be like in the future? Perhaps we will have a shorter language, full of saying "cry face" if something sad happens or using abbreviations like LOL (laugh out loud) or BRB (be right back) instead of saying the full phrases. So does this mean our vocabulary will decrease? Is this classic case of the older generations saying, "Things are no longer what they used to be. We didn't use emojis to show our emotions"?Yet when you look back over time, the power of images has always been there. Even in prehistoric times people used images to communicate, and what's even more unbelievable is that we are able to analyse those drawings and understand the meaning of them thousands of years later. Images, whether they are cave paintings or emojis, allow us to express a message that's not restrictive but rather universal.12. What did the author think of the vocabulary used by people in the novel at first?A. Colorful.B. Interesting.C. Unbelievable.D. Mysterious.13. Why does the author mention his typing messages to friends?A. To show the emoji has been a form of communication.B. To explain people tend to overuse emojis today.C. To show his close relationship with friends.D. To explain why he prefers emojis to words.14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. English will become a shorter language in the future.B. Nineteen Eighty-Four is a book on totalitarian by George Orwell.C. Abbreviations may become more popular in daily communication.D. The older generations are not likely to accept new things.15. What can be inferred about images from the last paragraph?A. They are very powerful in expressing a message.B. They will replace language in communication.C. They were only an ancient way to communicate.D. They restrict our language and communication.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

ABest Venice ToursGrand CanalConsidered to be the main street of Venice, the 2-mile-long Grand Canal is one of the city’s most popular and highly photographed attractions. If you’re hoping to hire a gondolier (贡多拉船夫) for a romantic (but expensive) row along the canal, plan to pay between 80 and 120 euros for the ride. Many others suggested hopping aboard the vaporetto (水上巴士), or the public water taxi, for a much cheaper experience. Vaporetto Line I travels down the Grand Canal. Travel experts strongly recommend purchasing a Venezia Unica City Pass if you don’t plan on walking the entirety of your trip due to the high cost of one-way fare.Rialto BridgeSeveral centuries ago, the Rialto Bridge was the only way to cross the Grand Canal. There are now four major bridges that cross the canal, but the Rialto Bridge is by far the most famous. The bridge is a design work of Antonio da Ponte. Predicted to fail by critics, the bridge still stands and is considered an engineering wonder.Campanile di San MarcoThis particular bell tower was built in the early 20th century, as a reproduction of the 16th-century one, which was used by Galileo Galilei to set his telescope. It also served as a stage for tight rope walkers during the Fl ight of the Angel celebration. Today’s bell tower, with a 324-foot height, is used for sightseers who want to have a full view of Venice. To avoid crowds, travelers say it’s best to go early in the morning or late in the evening.St. Mark’s SquareSt. Mark’s Square, or Piazza San Marco, is considered to be the heart of Venice. As the largest square in Venice, St. Mark’s Square is the only “piazza” in the city. It’s strongly recommended that visitors visit the square either early in the morning or late in the evening simply because of the crowds. The restaurants and shops in the square are very expensive. It’s recommended that visitors walk a few streets away from the square to find more reasonably priced meals and souvenirs. 1．Why is a Venezia Unica City Pass recommended?A. To pay for the public transportation at a lower price.B. To ensure visitors take the best photos of the attractions.C. To enable visitors to experience a romantic trip with a gondolier.D. To help save money for the tickets of the most popular attractions.2．Which of the following attractions has some connections with space science?A. Grand Canal.B. Piazza San Marco.C. Rialto Bridge.D. Campanile di San Marco.3．In which section of a website can we probably read this text?A. Tourism.B. Food.C. Science.D.

But Abraham Olagbegi is not like most teens!Abraham is recovering from a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) resulting from rare genetic blood disorder. Last year was a scary time for him and his family, but the transplant was successful, and he’s now on a path to good health.

You could do a lot… You are sure you don’t want a PlayStation?’”Abraham’s whole family thought it was a great idea, especially since they’ve tried to teachtheir kids to give freely and openly to others whenever possible. In the 13-year-old’s words, “My parents always taught us t hat it’s a blessing to be a blessing.”Make-A-Wish granted Abraham’s special request, spending a day in September handing out ,free plates of food to people experiencing homelessness in Jackson, Mississippi. Local businesses donated all of the food and supplies, and together they managed to feed about 80 people!Abraham said seeing the gratitude on their faces made his wish come true and “warms our hearts”. Now the Make-A-Wish team will continue Abraham’s program named Abraham’s Table every month.We’re just very excited to be able to continue on this program. It’s just so rewarding.” Miriam said. “If I was out there on the streets, homeless, I would want somebody at some point to think of me and to do something special for me. So, that’s what I try to te ach my kids and we just try to pay it forward, by doing what we were raised to do.”4．What did Abraham Olagbegi request as a wish?A. A gaming system.B.

It’s also leading our next generation towards increased rates of obesity (肥胖), according to the findings of a new survey.A national survey of 1,006 parents found that close to half of all 12 to 18 years old teenagers can’t boil an egg; 1 in 5 only have kitchen skills that allow them to pour milk on cereal; 42%can’t boil noodles; 83.9%don’t know how to roast a chicken; 60.1 percent can’t bake a potato.Research company Pureprofile asked parents to judge how well their kids could perform in the kitchen across some tasks. More than half (67.3%) of parents believe their children could do betterwhen it comes to healthy food and lifestyle knowledge. Close to half of parents (42.5%) believe poor food choices are caused by lack of education at middle school, with 9 in 10 parents in support of schools doing more to encourage a healthy lifestyle.Miriam Raleigh, an expert on the relationship between food and health, said she was already seeing a generation of young parents who had “no idea how to cook”. “They depend on convenience meals and easy snacks, and those foods often have a higher fat and salt content which can lead to obesity and a lot of health problems,” Ms Raleigh said.The school’s Kitchen Garden program founder, Stephanie Alexander, said that if more was not done to improve the situation we would be heading towards a generation of fatter and more unhealthy kids. Ms Alexander also said she would introduce her Kitchen Garden program into middle schools so teenagers can learn the art of cooking food.“I’m so proud of what we have achieved in the primary school and I really believe we can have the same success in middle schools,” she said.8．What did the national survey find about Australian teenagers?A.

The divers hope to restore part of Cuba’s barrier reef (堡礁). And they are working with limited financial support and using materials recovered from the coast.Luis is one of the project’s leaders. The 44-year-old fisherman grew up on Cuba’s north coast. He said, “It’s incredible to see the loss of coral in the past 30 years.” He added, “Our dream is tomake the parts of the barrier reef that have lost their coral grow again.”To make that happen, Luis worked with other dive instructors and neighborhood schoolchildren with the support from Cuba’s environmental organizations. They began collecting pieces of coral spread across the ocean floor after large storms three years ago. The pieces were then hung on branches of underwater “trees” made from old plastic pipes and supported by fishing lines recovered from the coast. They were then “replanted” on the coral reef, fixed by nails driven into the rock. In a year, most survive and grow enough to repopulate the part of the barrier reef between 60 to 80 meters in length.Like many coral reefs around the world, the ones in Cuba are threatened by changing water temperatures, destructive plants and animals, pollution and over-fishing. It is reported that the world has already lost 30 to 50 percent of its coral reefs.Karine is a French diver who just visited Cuba for the first time. She said the reef looked better than others she had seen on dives elsewhere in the world, including in Africa. “The cora l needs to be protected,” she said after two dives on a recent trip to nearby Varadero. She said, “It’s good to see that in Cuba they take care of what they have, and that it is still not too affected by too much tourism.”12．What can we infer from the rec overy of the Cuba’s barrier reef?A. It is just a new project to start.B. It is a slow and difficult process.C. It is mainly carried out by schoolchildren.D. It is greatly supported by the government.13．How do the dive instructors fix the pieces of coral on the reef?A. They are fastened to the rock by fishing lines.B. They are supported by the trees on the ocean floor.C. They are placed firmly by nails driven into the rock.D. They are hung by old plastic pipes collected on the coast.14．What does the underlined word “destructive” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Endangered.B. Beneficial.C. Plentiful.D. Harmful.15．What is Karine’s attitude towards the Cubans’ effort to recover the coral reef?A. Doubtful.B. Concerned.C. Positive.D. Disappointed.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。
