It is the latest bestseller by British writer Jojo Moyes. The book has been made into a movie. British actress Emilia Clark and actor Sam Caflin play the lead roles in the movie.There are two main characters in this book. One is Louisa Clark, or Lou, a girl who has lost her job at a cafe. The other is William Traynor, or Will, a young man who has become disabled after a motorcycle accident.Lou ends up taking a job where she has to take care of Will. At first, they don't like each other very much. However, they gradually become good friends. But this happiness only lasts a few days.While I read the book, I couldn't help but notice its language. There were a lot of descriptions to show what the characters are feeling. There are also many detailed descriptions of the environments around the characters. For example, Moyes writes "I saw it was bigger than I had imagined, red brick with a double front…"，describing how surprised Lou is when she sees Will's house for the first time.At the end of the book, Will writes "Just live well, just live" in a letter.

It concerns the death of my good friend and patient, Sir Charles Baskerville. Sir Charles Baskerville had no children, so his entire estate(财产) now pass to his nephew, Sir Henry Baskerville, who has been living in America for many years.” Dr. Mortimer took a letter out of his pocket which was given to him by Sir Charles just before his death 3 months ago. “ If I may, I should like to read the letter to you.” He adjusted his glasses.“Baskerville Hall, 1742. To my sons, Rodger and John. The legend（传说，传奇）has been told by my father who was told by his father before him. It began 100 years ago in 1642 when this great Baskerville Hall was occupied（占有）by Hugo Baskerville ---a wild, ugly, cruel man. Hugo wanted to marry the daughter of a neighbouring farmer. One day, with his five evil friends, he rode to the farm and kidnapped the girl. He brought her to Baskerville Hall and locked her in an upstairs room while he and his friends having a drinking party below. The poor girl was very frightened, but she managed to climb out of the window. Hugo, however, soon noticed that she had gone. He chased the girl on his black horse with his hunting dog showing the way. His friends joined the chase until a strange sight stopped them. There lay two bodies--Hugo’s and the girl’s. Standing over Hugo’s body was a huge black beast（野兽）tearing out his throat（喉咙）.“I really don’t like fairy tales ”said Holmes. “What exactly is it you want me to do?”“I need you to advise me what to do with Sir Henry Baskerville who’s arriving here today”.4.What was the letter about that Dr. Mortimer read to Watson and Holmes?A.

The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature，wetness，air quality and nutrition. It could be in a building in New York or in a desert in Sahara.The world is already having trouble feeding itself. Half the people on Earth live in cities，and nearly half of those are hungry or ill-fed. Food prices are buffeted by，floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport it. And prices will only get more changeable. Farmers in many parts of the world already are using water available to the last drop. And the world is getting more crowded by mid-century，the world's population will grow front 6. 8 billion to 9 billion.To feed so many people may require more farmland , as a result , forests and wilderness(荒地)are becoming fewer and fewer.Gertjan Meeuws has taken the idea of a greenhouse a step further, growing vegetables and houseplants in enclosed(封闭的)environments. In their research station , water flows into the fields when needed，and the temperature is kept the same. Lights go on and off, creating similar day and night，but according to the needs of the plants.A building of 100 square meters and 14 layers(层)of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140,000 people. Their idea isn' t to grow foods that require much space，like corn or potatoes. Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful. Plants need only specific(特定地)light to grow. Their growth speed is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoor agriculture. And city farming means producing food near the citizens, and there's no need to transport it long distances.7. The underlined word "buffeted" in Paragraph 2 means_____ .A. badly influencedB. causedC. dividedD. well achieved8. Which of the following is TRUE of the environments in the research station?A. The temperature is often changed.B. Sunshine is in great need for plants.C. Day and night depends on plants.D. Air quality is controlled by plants.9. It can be inferred from the text that Gertjan Meeuws's farming .A. is of great help to the people who live in the cityB. saves less water compared with outdoor agricultureC. is completely different from greenhouse agricultureD. requires much space and suits the production of corn10. What is the passage mainly about?A. Disadvantages of outdoor farmingB. Development of greenhouse farmingC. The world's food problemsD. Sunless，rainless indoor farming四、词汇运用（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）36. Don't be so angry. You must keep calm by (控制)your moods.37. Every spring, the National People’s Congress meetings are held in Beijing and big events are ________(讨论).38.

These days, the 29-year-old is standing her ground as a superhero.Larson plays Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel, in the movie of the same name. As a superhero, she has many superpowers, such as being able to fly as fast as light. The movie has become a huge success.When Larson was offered the role, she didn’t accept it at the beginning. ‘I am not a person with much confidence. So, I needed a little bit of time to see if I can do it…’ she said. La rson is no stranger to Hollywood, but it’s one thing to win an Oscar and another thing totally to star in a Marvel movie. She had no idea about playing a superhero. There would be lots of promotional (推广) interviews. Facing all of these, she decided to go out of comfort zone (舒适区). ‘I was gonna push myself to do things that I never thought I could do. I challenged myself. ’ she said.Larson trained for nine months. She learned kungfu, practiced weightlifting and so on. But the biggest challenge was that she had to work with a cat –an animal that she was afraid of. ‘I was sick the whole time, but I insisted to work with it by myself. I was fine.’Varity magazine spoke highly of her acting. By playing Captain Marvel, Larson discovered her own weaknesses and turned them into confidence. Even just watching her recent interviews, one can tell from her body language that she had found something she didn’t have much before.单选：1-5 ABCBD 6-10 CCBBA 11-15 DBBDC完形1-5 BCDBA 6-10 CACBA阅读BDA ACB ACAD词汇36.controlling 37.discussed 38.customers’ 39.achievement 40.repairing41.nineties 42.happiness 43.impatient 44.decision 45.inventors’首字母46.Of 47.poor 48. with e 50.Saying51.from 52. doubted 53. tired 54. great 55.realized任务型阅读56. leave57. be/become58. creates59. succeed60. donated61. speed62. refused63. sure/certain64. remain/stay65. confident写作例文Dear Amy,I’m really happy to have your email. Thanks for your care. The epidemic situation is really serious. I haven’t been out for days. I've been staying at home because it’s the safest way. So have other people. If we go out, we must wear a mask, and when we come back, we must take our temperature at the gate of the communities. All the doctors and nurses are fighting with the novel coronavirus all day and all night on the front lines. And I believe we can defeat it in the near future. Because I believe that as long as we work together, nothing is impossible.Although the school has not started yet, we have been studying at home all the time. The teachers give us lessons online and help us solve problems. This way is more convenient for me, because I don't have to waste time on my way to school, and I can have more time to study. I have been reviewing all the lessons carefully every day, preparing for the entrance examination of my senior high school.I hope you can also take care of your health and keep healthy.Yours,Li Hua。
