He held a large envelope. In it was his dream."This is everything," he said. "I've worked for this since I was a young boy."Eduardo remembered the long hours working in the fields, picking strawberries and beans. After the workday, his tired friends drank coffee or slept. Eduardo studied, read, and wrote poetry and short stories. Although he missed many classes, he became the school's best student.One school year, Eduardo wrote an essay（文章）and won a prize—a flying trip to San Francisco. As he flew, he felt free from his life of hard work in the fields. He promised himself not to return to that life. He loved to fly.This morning, Eduardo caught the school bus and went to school with the envelope. He walked past his classmates and sat down at his desk. He opened the envelope and began reading the letter inside. It was the answer to his application to the state university. It was also the answer to the beginning of his dream of becoming a pilot.Even though Eduardo worked to help his family, his father always encouraged him to go to school. So, while he worked, he also studied.Eduardo knew that his dream was his father's dream, too. His father was a smart man, but he was too poor to go to college. He loved to read, but never had time, because he worked long hours.Now, as Eduardo read the words, "Congratulations...you have been accepted," he knew that his dream was not lost. One day, he would be a pilot, flying every day to all the exciting places in the world.（1）What did Eduardo do when his friends drank coffee or slept?A.He attended classes.B.He studied and wrote.C.He worked in the fields.D.He helped around his home.（2）What was Eduardo's dream?A.Becoming a pilot.B.Becoming a writer.C.Traveling around the world.D.Realizing his father's dream.（3）What was Eduardo's father's attitude toward his dream?A.Supportive.B.Unconcerned.C.Doubtful.D.Unclear.（4）What was in the envelope?A.An invitation to a flying trip.B.Encouragement from his father.C.Congratulations from his friends.D.An admission notice from a university.3.Tu Youyou has become the first Chinese woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015, for her work in helping to create an antimalarial（抗疟的）medicine. The 84-year-old's route to the honour has been anything but traditional. In China, she is being called the "three non-winner": no title of academician（院士）, no doctorate, and she's never worked overseas.In 1967, malaria, a then deadly disease, spread by mosquitoes was decimating Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam. A secret research unit "Mission 523" was formed to find a cure for the illness. Two years later, Tu Youyou was instructed to become the new bead of "Mission 523".Tu Youyou read ancient books carefully for a long time to find historical methods of fighting malaria. When she started her search for an antimalarial drug, more than 240,000 compounds（化合物）around the world had already been tested, without any success. Finally, the team found a brief reference to one substance, Artemisia annua Linn.（黄花蒿）, which had been used to treat malaria in China around 400 AD. The team took out one active compound in Artemisia annua Linn., and then tested it. But nothing was effective until Tu Youyou returned to the original ancient text. After another careful reading, she changed the drug recipe one final time, heating the compound without allowing it to reach the boiling point.After the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys, TuYouyou volunteered to be the first human recipient of the new drug. "In any case, Tu Youyou is consistently praised for her drive and passion. One former colleague, Linda Li, says Ms Tu is unsociable and quite straightforward", adding that "If she disagrees with something, she will say it."Another colleague, Fuming Liao, who has worked with Tu Youyou for more than 40 years, describes her as a "tough and stubborn woman". Stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts, she applies them to modern scientific practices. The result has saved millions of lives.（1）According to Paragraph 1, we can learn that ________.A.Tu is the first woman to win a Nobel PrizeB.Tu has a title of academicianC.Tu's road to success is not traditionalD.Tu discovered a cure for malaria（2）The underlined word "decimating" in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ________.A.encouragingB.killingC.annoyingD.benefiting（3）What can we learn from the passage?A.Tu first invented the idea of using Artemisia annua Linn. as a cure.B.Tu was inspired by medical textbooks published in northern Vietnam.C.The compound needs to be heated to the boiling point to be effective.D.Over 240,000 compounds were proved ineffective before Tu's search.（4）Tu Youyou can be best described as a ________ person.A.devoted and stubbornB.straightforward and meanC.considerate and toughD.sociable and generous4.If you're looking for European culture, there are few better places to visit than Switzerland. Known as the meltingpot of Europe, it combines the cultures of Europe with extreme beauty and fantastic food.Switzerland's culture is a combination of neighboring states: France, Germany, and Italy. The result is a multilingual country, as eastern Switzerland speaks French, the southern part speaks Italian and the rest speaks German.Like the language, the cuisine is also quite different by region. If you visit cities like Geneva, you'll find traditional French dishes like fondue and raclette, melted Swiss cheese served over bread or potatoes. Meanwhile, in German-speaking regions, like Zurich, you'll find Rosti, a typical side dish made from fried potatoes.However, if there's one thing that unites the Swiss and the rest of the world, it's their love of chocolate. Swiss chocolate factories are "the most luxurious in the world". US travel blogger Sarah Schmalbruch wrote on Business Insider that famous brands, like Lindt, are based in the country. Visitors to Switzerland can enjoy tasting chocolates, and even take classes from master chocolate makers.Aside from the wide variety of food on offer, Switzerland also offers thrills. The Swiss Alps offer year-round skiing and mountain climbing with local experts. Besides, you can visit the beautiful Matterhorn, known for its distinctive pyramid shape and snow-capped peak. Standing at a height of more than 4,400 meters, it is the most pictured mountain in the world, according to Smithsonian magazine.But if city culture is more your thing, you'll find a large group of museums and art galleries, not to mention theworld's largest teddy bear museum in Basel.Even the largest Swiss cities tend to be laid back（悠闲自在的）, but with many exciting activities and cultural sites, Switzerland is perfect for every taste. After all, where else in Europe offers you the culture of four different countries?（1）The author presents Switzerland as a multi-cultural country by introducing its ________.A.architecture and foodnguages and foodC.festivals and architectureD.costumes and festivals（2）Why does the author mention Sarah Schmalbruch's words?A.To stress the popularity of Swiss chocolates.B.To prove Swiss chocolates are difficult to make.C.To show how delicious Swiss chocolates are.D.To show the history of Swiss chocolates.（3）What can you find in Switzerland?A.The largest art gallery.B.The safest skiing location.C.The most pictured mountain.D.The oldest teddy bear museum.（4）The author wrote the article mainly to ________.A.discuss Switzerland's history and cultureB.give advice to visitors to SwitzerlandC.recommend some famous places to peopleD.introduce what tourists can enjoy in Switzerland二、七选五Four ways to make someone else smileAlthough we are often worried about our own problems, or the way people think of us, making someone else smile through a simple act of kindness can completely turn your mood（心情）around, too. Here is a list of ideas to help you.◆ Send a handwritten letter（1）________. Putting pen to paper and writing a few words to a friend can be an easy way to make a difference. Even a postcard with a couple of sentences could really make someone's day—all for the price of a stamp!◆ VolunteerWhether you volunteer at your local youth group or take dogs from shelters for a walk, the simple fact that you are giving up your time to help someone else is amazing. Make sure you can find one that is right for you.（2）________— it could be once a week or a couple of times a year. ◆（3）________Whether you're creative or not, taking time to make something for someone else shows how much you appreciate them. Even if you think you're not creative, the recipient（接受者）will feel lucky to get such a special gift that you put your time into.（4）________!◆ Tell someone "I love you"Before you do that, it can be anyone—your mum or dad, grandparents, or friend. And you don't even have to say "I love you".（5）________, or remind your mum that you love her. Sometimes, in our busy lives, we forget to take a moment to tell people what they mean to us.A. Make something for a special personB. Smile at everyone you see every single dayC. It doesn't necessarily have to take up all your timeD.

Hold Still by Sally Mann (2015)Mann's story, accompanied by her excellent photography, has given me a model for how to be an artist, wife, mother, daughter, friend, and thoughtful member of humanity, all at the same time.Swimming Studies by Leanne Shapton (2012)You might not think you want to read a story about an artist-illustrator's past life as a competitive swimmer and her continuing love for swimming, swimming pools and swimsuits. But you do, you really do. Shapton's acute sense memory and sharp essay, coupled with her own experience and photos, are a pleasure from start to finish.Learning By Heart by Corita Kent and Jan Steward （1992）Sister Corita Kent was a beloved and revolutionary art teacher in 1960s in Los Angeles and a gifted printmaker.

You will be completely involved in the thunder-struck reality of a young writer who finds herself traveling between Los Angeles in 1976 and life among her ancestors on an prewar Maryland farm. 1．Who was probably an excellent sports player in the past?A．Sally Mann.

Hart was heavily favored to win his next round against an ungifted boxer, Antuofermo. It was said that the only thing that Antuofermo could do was “he bled well". However, here was an important thing. He had good qualities that you couldn't see.During the fight, Hart controlled Antuofermo, knocking him down and giving him a good beating. Antuofermo absorbed the punishment that was dealt to him by his naturally superior opponent, and he did it so well that Hart became discouraged. In the fifth round, Hart began to tire, not physically but mentally. Taking advantage of the situation, Antuofermo attacked and knocked Hart down, thus ending the fight.When the fighters went back to their temporary restrooms, only a thin curtain was between them. Hart's room was quiet, but on the other side he could hear Antuofermo's coach talking about who would take the fighter to the hospital. Finally he heard Antuofermo saying, "Every time he hit me with that left hook （左勾拳）to the body, I thought I was going to quit. After the second round, I thought if he hit me there again, I'd quit. I thought the same thing after the fourth round. But he stopped hitting me there."At that moment, Hart began to weep. He was crying because for the first time he under- stood that Antuofermo had felt the same way he had and even worse. And the only thing that distinguished the guy who was talking from the guy who was crying was perseverance （毅力）. The coward （懦夫）and the hero had the same emotions. They're both humans.The important question to ask yourself here is this：How does each man respond to the tough situation that they are experiencing? Maybe you are in a tough position right now or, if not, one might be coming. How will you react? Like a hero or a coward?4．What can we learn from paragraph 1?A．Hart was an ordinary boxer.B．Antuofermo was hardly defeated.C．Hart was believed to win the game.D．Antuofermo was gifted in boxing.5．How did Antuofermo win the fight?A．He trained hard before the fight.B．Hart became discouraged by his coach.C．He was confident about his boxing talent and power.D．He dealt with the punishment properly and grasped the chance.6．Why did Hart cry after the fight?A．He realized he was just mentally defeated.B．He was hurt and sent to a hospital.C．He lost the game easily.D．He was considered to be a coward.7．What are Antuofermo's qualities?A．Hard-work and honesty. B．Humor and intelligence. C．Perseverance and determination. D．Enthusiasm and responsibility.Denmark is only about half the size of South Carolina, but it produces more of its electricity from wind than any other country in the world. Denmark now gets 47%of its electricity from wind, and there will be more to come, thanks to a combination of history and policy.Paul la Cour was a scientist and inventor who experimented with early wind power machines at the start of the 20th century. So it's not surprising that Denmark invested in building wind power the earliest. Since the 1970s,Denmark has been investing in wind energy all over the country. In the 1980s,due to a strong movement opposing nuclear power plants, Denmark increased its production of clean energy even before many other countries considered it.Even back in 2002,Denmark took climate change warnings seriously. They drew up policies, aiming to cut fossil-fuel emissions by 20%,which they did via renewable energy investment. Some of the world's largest companies in the field—including Vestas, which builds turbines(涡轮机)，and Orsted, which specializes in offshore wind projects—are Danish, so the country has an impact beyond its borders.The huge impact of Denmark’s wind industry is important. But Denmark is a small country, so while almost 50%of its electricity from wind is admirable, it's also minor in terms of entire global impact.While Denmark gets half its electricity from 5,758 megawatts (MW) of capacity, Spain's 23,000 MW covers just 18 percent of its electricity supply as it’s a much bigger country. Chinais the leader in wind energy at 221,000 MW, and the U.S.is the second in the world at about 96,000 MW.At the end of 2019,lawmakers in Denmark set a new goal: increasing the share of electricity coming from renewable power to 100%.8．What can we know about Demark?A．It is a leader in solar energy. B．It is a pioneer in clean energy.C．It is a victim of climate change. D．It is an advocate of nuclear energy. 9．What is Denmark government's attitude towards fossil-fuel energy projects? A．Indifferent. B．AmbiguousC．Positive. D．Opposed.10．Which country produces the most wind energy in the world?A．Denmark. B．China. C．The U.S D．Spain. 11．What is the best title for the text?A．Almost Half of Denmark’s Electricity Comes from Wind PowerB．Denmark's Government Pushes ahead with Fossil-fuel ProjectsC．Denmark Has a Great Effect on World's Wind Power EquipmentD．Denmark Has a Long History of Developing Renewable PowerA recent study conducted by researchers from Canada's Wilfrid Laurier University found that the snakes actively seek out socialization with their peers （同伴），but also they are extremely particular about who they spend time with. However, snakes used to be thought of as solitary animals. They are seldom seen hanging out in groups.A team of researchers led by Morgan Skinner and Dr. Noam Miller selected 40non-poisonous garter snakes （袜带蛇）. Ten were purchased from a snake keeper and the rest were caught in the wild. After marking each snake with a spot of color to allow for easy identification, the researchers placed ten snakes inside each of the four plastic shelters.Skinner photographed each snake group twice a day before removing them from their shelters. After cleaning the areas thoroughly to rid them of any familiar smells, the reptiles were rearranged into different groups, and returned to the enclosure. A camera fixed over the shelters allowed the scientists to track the animals' movements for a total of eight days.When Skinner and Miller analyzed the images, they found that regardless of where they were placed, the snakes always slipped back to their origin al "friends" forming groups of threeor eight inside the small shelters. “They can tell others apart,” Miller said.Gordon Burghardt, a biologist, says, "The study should help convince people that snakes have more social intelligence than most of us realize."Miller believes the research could help with snake protection efforts. Endangered snake species relocated to safer habitats often leave these areas. Now, conservationists may be able to avoid that by transferring entire snake groups to the new location. Alternatively, they could also spray （喷洒）the new habitat with the species' smells to make transplants feel at “home." 12．What does the underlined word "solitary" mean in paragraph 1?A．Causing fear. B．Existing only in small numbers. C．Causing death or illness. D．Enjoying being alone.13．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．The findings can contribute to snake conservation.B．Snakes like to spray smells on the trees.C．Snakes are easy to adapt to new locations.D．Snakes tend to stay in safer habitats.14．Which of the following proverbs can be used to describe the findings?A．Barking dogs don't bite. B．The early bird catches worms. C．Things of one kind come together. D．A friend in need is a friend in deed. 15．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Entertainment. B．Science.C．Education. D．Health.二、七选五A community feels more alive when people who live there try to help improve it. If you look around and see that your community has a lot of problems, there's no better time to start fixing them than right now. 16．Stop to offer help when and where you're neededIt's a simple way to create the atmosphere that makes people feel safe and happy. If you see someone in need of assistance, come to their aid instead of looking on. 17．Volunteer in your communityDonating your time is an excellent way to have a positive effect on your community. 18．It costs organizations a lot of time and money to train volunteers, so make sure that youwill be available and willing to help out on a long-term basis.19．You can help in many ways. Consider starting your own business. In this way you can serve your community by offering a great product and possibly even hiring employees.
