AWhen the weather is bad or when the flu breaks out, we can let the kids do some fun things at home, which can be beneficial to kids.Reading out loudIf your children are young enough, don't forget to read books to them out loud! Few children dislike having a good book read to them, and it's great for the development of their brains. However, if your children are a bit older and have moved onto more advanced books, there is always the choice of listening to an audiobook. This can also be done while they're doing something else.Playing board gamesMaybe your children's table is full of board games, which have been forgotten for a long time. It's a good time to bring them out when playing outside is no longer a choice. Surely, playing board games is a great way to connect with children. In addition, many board games are designed to get children thinking!Having a dance partyConsidering that all you need is a speaker or maybe just a phone, you can have a dance party wherever you are! This is a great way to get kids' bodies moving when they are inside. Play some of your children's favorite music and let them dance to it. Not only is it good exercise, but it will help your children feel time is flying!Doing jigsaw（拼图）puzzlesFor most people that have children, it's common to have at least one jigsaw puzzle at home. Jigsaw puzzles are great because everyone can do them on their own time. Besides, your whole family will have a sense of achievement when everyone is smiling over the finished product.1.

Fluent in English, his mother often read Friedrich Nietzsche's works to him. Influenced by his mother, Yuan Longping liked English, geography and chemistry at school. After graduating from university, he became a teacher in the countryside of Hunan in 1953.With lots of crop failures, nationwide hunger hit China in the 1960s, making many people live a bad life. Y uan was sad and felt he must do something. Since the climate in Hunan was not friendly to growing wheat. He decided to devote himself to studying how to increase the production of rice, a basic food for over 60 percent of Chinese people. From then on, he began a lifelong connection with rice.Yuan Longping succeeded in growing the world's first high production hybrid rice（杂交水稻）variety in 1973, which could reach a yield of over 500 kg per mu, more than 200 kg than before. For the next four decades, he continued to work on the research of hybrid rice. In 2020, hybrid rice developed by his team achieved 1,500 kg per mu in two growing seasons, a new world record.Nowadays, the hybrid rice is grown in almost half of China's rice fields and its production accounts for 60 percent of the total rice production in China. The hybrid rice production is 20 percent more than the common kinds, the yearly increase of which feeds up to 100 million people.In 2019, Yuan Longping, known as the “Father of hybrid rice”, was awarded with Medal of the Republic, China's highest honor.Yuan Longping's biggest dream in life was to develop more hybrid rice varieties, which could be grown all over the world to help solve the global food problem. So far, the hybrid varieties he developed have been grown in over 40 countries, including the USA, Brazil and India.4. What do we know about Y uan Longping according to the text?A. He began to study hybrid rice in 1973.B. He received the highest honor in China at 90.C. He ever taught math in the city after graduation.D. He ever hoped Chinese would be free from hunger.5.

What is the text mainly about?A. The honor of Yuan Longping.B. The team of Yuan Longping.C. The life of Yuan Longping.D. The education of Yuan Longping.CPlanned missions to the moon need to hurry up to avoid hitting one of the busiest periods for extreme space weather, according to scientists conducting the most in depth ever research on solar storm timing.Scientists at the University of Reading studied 150 years of space weather data to look into patterns in the timing of the most extreme events, which can be extremely dangerous to astronauts and satellites. This new research on space weather timing allows predictions to be made for extreme space weather. Therefore, it could be used to plan the timing of activities, which could be affected by extreme space weather, for example, major space missions.The researchers found for the first time that extreme space weather events are more likely to occur early in or late solar cycles—such as the one just starting. The findings may have influences on the NASA-led Artemis mission. It plans to make humans return to the moon in 2024, but can be put off to the late 2020s.Professor Mathew Owens, a space physicist at the University of Reading, said, “Until now, the most extreme space weather events were thought to be random in their timing. Though there is no set pattern of the events, this research suggests they are more predictable.”In the new study, the scientists used a new method applying statistical（统计的）modelling to storm timing for the first time. Previous research generally focused on how big extreme space weather events can be, based on observations of previous events. Predicting their timing is far more difficult because extreme events are rare, so there is relatively little historic data in which to identify patterns. The findings suggest that any major planned space missions, which is beyond the next five years, will have to consider the higher probability of extreme space weather late in the present solar cycle between 2026 and 2030.8. What can we learn about the study from the first two paragraphs?A. It has lasted just 150 years.C. It shows space weather has no effect on astronauts.D. It makes it possible to predict extreme space weather.9. Why might the NASA-led Artemis mission be put off?A. To research solar cycles.B. To avoid effects of space weather.C. To meet the needs of the astronauts.D. To make humans return to Earth in 2024.10. What does the underlined word “random” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Easy.B. Irregular.C. Limited.D. Changeless.11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The study is useful for future space missions.B. The planned space missions should be put off.C. Extreme space weather will happen before 2026.D. Previous observations make no difference to the study.DVietnam made preparations for the Lunar New Year with a fish release（释放）on Thursday. The tradition involves releasing fish called carps（鲤鱼）into rivers and lakes in the country a week before the holiday known as Tet officially begins.The tradition comes from an ancient story of three “Kitchen Gods” The three, two males and a female, take a ride on the brightly colored carp at the end of the year. They go to Heaven to meet with the Jade Emperor, the God who rules there. The “Kitchen Gods” report news about the families they represent to seek the emperor s care and protection. Their efforts help to keep the kitchen fires burning, and families happy and healthy.As the Gods go to Heaven, families clean their houses in preparation to celebrate Tet. A clean house, Vietnamese believe, will bring luck in the new year. On Lunar New Year's Eve, the Gods will return to Earth and their duties in the kitchen of the house.Thursday's event in Vietnam this year was more controlled than ever before because of COVID-19. It is spreading in several northern areas of the country. However, Vietnam has increased contact examination, mass testing, and quarantine（检疫）measures to slow the spread. The aggressive action has limited infections and deaths in the country.“Vietnamese will still follow the tradition of releasing the fish, but COVID-19 has made people keep a safe distance,” said Tran Van Toi as he released a carp from a plastic bag at Hanoi's West Lake.This year, due to COVID-19, there were fewer people releasing fish there, but there was a major change in attitude towards plastic bags. After years of persuasion, now they don't throw the plastic bags into the water anymore but collect them to be recycled.12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. Kitchen fires in Vietnam.B. Traditional customs of Vietnam.C. A report on family activities in Vietnam.D. A tale about Vietnamese Lunar New Year.13. What's the author's attitude towards the Vietnam's actions to control COVID-19?A. Positive.B. Critical.C. Doubtful.D. Unconcerned.14. What was the good change about fish release in Vietnam this year?A. It required few lake fish.B. It was more interesting and diverse.C. It was more environmentally friendly.D. It required more people and plastic bags.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Vietnamese Respect Gods During the Festive TimeB. Vietnamese Mark Lunar New Year with Fish ReleaseC. Vietnamese Lunar New Year Celebrations Are FunnyD. Traditional Lunar New Year Promotes Animal Protection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。

What does “spark” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. set offB. set downC. set asideD. set aboutBIn many countries of the world, people can confidently tell you the meaning of their town or city, but most people who live in Manchester, Oxford or Birmingham would not be able to explain what the name of their city means. The name of every British town and city, however, has a long history.Two thousand years ago, most people living in Britain were Celts. Even the word “Britain" is Celtic (凯凯凯凯).Then the Romans arrived and built camps which became cities called “castra". This is why there are so many place names in England which end in "-chester" or “-caster" Manchester, for example.The Romans never reached Wales or Scotland, and many place names there are Celtic. For example, Welsh place names that begin with “Llan" come from the Celtic word for "church".After the Romans left Britain, it was attacked by the Anglo-Saxons who were from the area of Europe that is now Germany and Holland. The names of their villages often ended in “-ham" or “-ton". Some got their names from the leader of the village. So Birmingham for example, means "Beormund's village”The Anglo-Saxons were farmers and the landscape was very important to them, so we have villages called Upton (village on a hill)--a good place to build a village and Moreton (“village by a lake”)where floods could make life hard. Place names that end in “-ford" (a place where you could cross a river) also describe the location of Anglo-Saxon villages.Finally, in 1066 England became Norman-the Normans gave us the place name "grange", which means farm.And how about London? Experts cannot agree. The Romans called the city Londinium, but they were not the first inhabitants (凯凯). People once believed that the United Kingdom’s capital city got its name from the castle of a King called Lud but this is very unlikely. Our best guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning afast-flowing river. Like a number of British place names, its history is lost in time.4. The origin of British place names is unfamiliar to many local people because of______A. the death of local languagesB. the long lost history of the namesC. their lack of interest in itD the frequent changes to the names5. According to the article, Stratford is most likely a town .A. on a hillB. near a castleC. beside a riverD. with a church6. Which of the following shows the correct order of the arrival of inhabitants in Britain?A. The Celts—The Romans—The Normans—The Anglo SaxonsB. The Celts—The Romans—The Anglo Saxons—The NormansC. The Romans—The Celts—The Anglo Saxons—The NormansD. The Romans―The Anglo Saxons—The Celts—The Normans7. What does London mean in Celtic?A. RiverB. LondiniumC. LudD. CastleCSimply being quiet is a growing appeal. Lots of business have appeared to meet a rising demand for quiet time, from silent weekend getaways to silent dining, silent reading parties and even silent dating. Silence can mean different things to different people. We are usually silent only with those closest to us. So there is something almost radical(不同凡响的)about the recent trend towards enjoying silence with strangers.Mariel started a regular silent reading party in Dundee just under a year ago. Readers bring their books and meet in a bar, where they read together in silence for an hour or sometimes two and then put their books away to chat and have a drink. “When the reading party starts, everything goes quiet,” says Mariel, “ It’s a little bit surreal (超现实的), especially in what is usually a noisy bar. However, there is something special about sharing the silence with others. It offers a chance to escape from reality; everyone is so busy with work and with technology being ever present. An event like this gives people the opportunity to escape these things for a while.”Honi Ryan is an artist based in Berlin who began hosting silent dinner back in 2006. The rules of the dinner are: no talking, no using your voice, no reading or writing, trying to make as little noise as possible, not connecting with technology, and staying for at least two hours. So far she has taken her silent dinner project to Mexico, the US, Australia and China. “It’s evident that the age-old connections we make over food do not depend on the words around it. Silencecreates the space for the people and places involved to fill with whatever is needed; it is quite different from our usual social behaviors.”8. Why have lots of silent businesses appeared?A. To satisfy people’s demand for silence.B. To make people get close to each other.C. To appeal to young people.D. To change people’s old way of life.9. What can we learn about Mariel’s silent reading parties?A. Readers can use their voice while reading.B. Readers can be busy with their work.C. Readers can connect with technology.D. Readers can chat and drink after reading.10. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .A. noiseB. spaceC. silenceD. food11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Escape from Reality.B. Enjoying Being Quiet.C. Silent Reading Parties.D. Silent Dining Projects.DWe all use different ways to remember ideas, facts and things we need to store. Remembering is an extremely important part of our learning experience. Information process, storage and recall（回顾）encourage purposeful learning.But the brain doesn’t store everything we want or need for future use. It makes choices and tends to remember information that forms a memorable pattern. Things you learned recently can be particularly difficult to remember because they haven’t taken root in your mind.“Forgetting allows us to remember what is really important to our survival. We forget much of what we read, watch, and think directly every day.” writes John Medina in his book, Brain Rules.How do you avoid losing 90%of what you’ve learned? An inspiring writer and speaker Zig Ziglar once said：“Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.”Repetition has been a remembering skill for ages. When you hear or read something once，you don’t really learn it-atleast not well enough to store the new information for long. The right kind of repetition can do wonders for your memory. People learn or remember better by repeating things or getting exposed to information many times. Others repeat particular steps or processes deliberately a number of times or even years to become better at certain skills.Daniel Coyle explains in his book, The Little Book of Talent：“...closing the book and writing a summary, even short ones, forces you to figure out the key points, process and organize those ideas so they make sense, and write them on the page. When you pick it back up weeks later, reread all of your notes or highlights to strengthen the ideas even further.”People learn by repeating things. Better learning is a repetition process. Every time we repetitively access something we already know, we increase the memory’s stored value.12. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. The brain tends to store 90% of the things we learn.B. The fresher the information is the easier to remember.C. Thinking is more important than remembering in study.D. The brain tends to choose and keep what it thinks important.13. How does the writer prove his opinion?A. By giving examples.B. By listing numbers.C. By borrowing words of experts.D. By providing scientific finding.14. What does Daniel Coyle want to say in his book？A. You can’t pay too much attention to repetition.B. Summarizing is a very effective learning tool.C. Forgetting forces human brain to make choices.D. Regular repetition helps to form good habits.15. Which do you think is the best title of the passage？A. How the Brain WorksB. Reading for MoreC. Fighting Against ForgettingD. Repeat to Remember第二节七选五（共5 小题：每小题 2. 5分，满分12. 5 分）Loving others is easy, but loving yourself can be one of the hardest things in this world.

co﹣exist，man usually wins out.But that wasn't the case in a small town in southern India when a native Robin recently chose to build her nest in an extremely inconvenient location.The village of Pothakudi contains only 120 homes and has a total of 35 streetlights.Unfortunately，the misguided mama bird had decided to set up housekeeping in the town's main lighting switch﹣board（配电板）.The nest and its inhabitants were first discovered by Karuppu Raja，the man tasked with turning on the streetlights each evening.A lifelong bird lover，Raja posted his find to local social media to warn the citizens of his discovery and ask for their cooperation in taking a hands﹣off approach to the unexpected guests."Switching off the lights is the only solution because the bird will fly once it realizes there is a human touch or contact near its nest，" Raja wrote on WhatsApp."We should save the bird and its babies at any cost."While some initially voiced concerns that lack of nighttime illumination（照明）would be inconvenient，Raja was eventually able to persuade his fellow villagers that any sacrifice would be worth it in the long run."I explained that so many birds have died out and we should not letIndian Robin go the same waySo，rather than ousted the bird，the villagers agreed to observe a blackout（断电）until the baby birds were old enough to fly away.The town spent a total of 45 days and nights in the darkAfter mama Robin and her babies finally took off，the blackout was lifted，but the village's extraordinary protection efforts for the sake of one lone bird and her babies didn't go unnoticed.A bird in the hand may be worth two in the bush，but a bird in the switchboard has earned Potthakudi a reputation for kindness that's likely to light up smiles for quite some time to come.（1）What can we know about Karuppu Raja？A.He does his job carelessly.B.He loves birds all the time.C.He argues with his villagers.D.He is the leader of the village.（2）Which can replace the

Potthakudi.C.What villagers do to help the birds.D.How to protect Indian Robins.（4）What can we infer from the text？A.Man will conquer nature.B.Man and animals can live in harmony.C.A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.D.A bird is known by its note and a man by his talk.3．（10分）In a time when many people around the globe are in lockdown（封锁）and unable to attend the gym，home exercising is becoming important.Fears of piling on the pounds are forcing many to find novel ways to move the body.You don't need to pump iron or have expensive equipment like rowing and cycling machines to help you stay fit.Exercising is not just important for your body，but also your mind.A study by Dr.Andrea Dunn at the Cooper Research Institute in Dallas，Texas found patients who did daily 35﹣minute walks per week experienced a 47% reduction in their depression（抑郁）Cardiovascular（心血管的）exercise，often simply called cardio，which in turn will strengthen your heart and improve your general fitness.Many of us are turning to activities like skipping with an old rope，or watching one of the many "fitness experts" who produce exercise videos online.Walking is another great activity to help you increase your blood circulation.There are many affordable pedometers which can be worn like a watch and used to track your steps，heart rates and sleeping patterns.You don't even have to step outside，with many people simply doing some power walking or running round their gardens or up and down their hallways.Practicing yoga or Tai Chi can help to increase our body flexibility，which in turn can lower joint pain and help to protect us from injury.Finally，strength and resistance training can be done at home by simply lifting bags of rice or boxes instead of heavy weights in the gym.There are many ways to help us stay active，and indeed these exercise habits can be carried over in our lives long after lockdown is lifted.For those of us who complain about our busy lives stopping us from hitting the gym，ten minutes a day with a rope or a bag of rice may not only help our fitness（1）What may encourage us to find new ways to exercise according to Paragraph1？A.Living a boring life.B.Gaining

the text？A.How to Exercise at HomeB.What to Do in LockdownC.Different Ways to Keep HealthyD.The Importance of Staying4．（10分）Fit Sweden and its Nordic neighbors have some of the highest literacy rates（识字率）in the world.The Swedes view equal access to knowledge as important to an individual's future success.This is true regardless of economic background and，clearlySweden has a floating library﹣the bokbaten﹣that brings thousands of books to people on dozens of remote islands in the Stockholm archipelago twice a year.Every spring and fall since 1953，the Stockholm Library Service rents a boat for a week，loads it with books（有人居住的）islands.When the boat pulls in，people climb aboard to return books they borrowed during the last visit and check out the library's newest offerings.The boat carries about 3，000 books，as you might expect，the latest best﹣sellers are in high demand.There are picture books for children，texts about history and science，cookbooks，etc.In addition to a library boat，Sweden also has library buses that bring books to people in rural communities.They also develop temporary（临时的）libraries in places such as stores and social gathering spots.The boat starts as a service for fishermen and island workers but expands to serve people who prefer to read hard copies of books over e﹣books or audiobooks.Since island people can order copies in advanceThe book boat is of great positive value for children and adults because they can in this way take part in the modern public library.The book boat has an important function as good public relations for the library's services and has the effect of promoting reading not only in the archipelago but else﹣where.Even in a nation of book lovers，the future of the floating library remains uncertain.If the Regional Library cuts funding for the boat，the bokbaten will be no more.（1）What is the key to a person's future success according to the Swedes？A.Equal access to knowledge.B.Economic background.C.Geographic location.D.Personal effort.（2）What can we know about the book boat？A.It has a promising future.B.It is run by several official librarians.C.It brings books to people many times a year.D.It is popular among people of remote islands.（3）What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the book boat？A.Its positive role.B.Its uncertain future.C.Its great effect on kids.D.Its difference from public libraries.（4）In which section of a newspaper can we probably read the text？A.Travel.B.Lifestyle.C.Business.D.Art.第二节（共1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。
