He was disabled and very short. When we walked together, people would stare at us.Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He almost never missed a day. He would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.He never felt sad for himself or envied (嫉妒) other people who could walk normally. What he looked for in others was a good heart. To him, that mattered more than anything else.My father still tried to do the same things as others did, even if he couldn’t do them the same way. For example, he liked to go to dances and parties, where he could have a good time just sitting and watching instead of dancing.I now know he took part in some things through me, his only son. When I playedbasketball (poorly), he “played” too. When I joined the army, he “joined” too. When I visited his office, he would introduce me, but he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different.”He has been gone for many years now. I wonder if he ever noticed that I was embarrassed to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry that I never told him how sorry I feel. I think of him when I find myself envying others—when I don’t have a good heart.30．What made the father feel especially proud?A．He drew lots of love from other people.B．He almost never missed a day at the office.C．His son sent him to the office every day.D．He could walk with his son. 31．What did the father think of his situation?A．He didn’t envy people who could walk normally.B．He wanted people to understand himC．He could always do things the same way as others.D．He sometimes felt sorry for himself.32．What does the father mean by saying “if things had been different”?A．If he could join the army.B．If the rules were different.C．If he was not disabled.D．If he was treated well.33．What can we infer about the author from the text?A．His father has been gone for many years.B．He feels sorry for being embarrassed. C．He doesn’t have a good heart.D．He still feels embarrassed to have his dad.We usually think that garbage is useless and dirty. However, an art exhibition in 2019 proves that”useless” things can actually be helpful.Dear Pretty Rubbish, an art event organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWFN) and digital media art company Blackbow, was held in Beijing. It looked at wasteful garbage and asked questions about the relationship between our lifestyles and our garbage.“We hope that everyone who visited the show can think about how ‘useless things’ are produced, why they are tossed out, and whether ‘useless things’ are really useless”, said Cao Yujia, the design director at Blackbow.Artists Zhou Yuxuan and Liu Yifan collected nylon cable ties, LED lights and plasticbottles from designers’ workshops to create a work where plastics, in the shape of cells, “grow” in a comer. There, the lights blink(闪烁) regularly just like “breathing”. When people walk near it, the work responds by showing light patterns, as if communicating with the visitors.Speaking about the work, Zhou said: “It’s like some kind of communication between humans and plastics.”Plastic has a life longer than almost any creature, taking centuries to break down. Though people think plastics damage the environment, they are a big part of our daily lives. “So we want to ask the question: Although the damage continues, is there a way for humans to reconcile (和解) with plastics?” said Zhou.34．Which phrase can take the place of the underlined phrase “tossed out”?A．worked out B．used up C．thrown away D．put off 35．Which of the following might Zhou agree with?A．Useless things are really useless.B．Artists should make works from garbage.C．Plastics should be left to break down on their own.D．Humans should find a better way to deal with plastics.36．Which word can best describe the art event?A．Creative B．Wasteful C．Balanced D．Awful 37．Which is the best title of the text?A．Try new ways to reduce garage B．Plastic pollution around usC．Live peacefully with “garbage”D．Communications between human beings and nature四、阅读回答问题阅读短文，然后根据内容回答所提问题。

with his45-year-old son.Suddenly a crow(乌鸦)landed on their window.The father asked his son,＂What isthat?＂The son replied,＂That’s a crow.＂After a few minutes,the father asked his son for the second time,＂What is that?＂The son said,＂Father,I told you just now.It is a crow.＂After a little while,the father asked his son the same question for the third time,＂What is that?＂This time,the son said to his father in a low and cold tone,＂It’s a crow,a crow.＂After a moment,the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time,＂What is that?＂This time his son shouted at the father,＂Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again?I have told you already,‘IT IS A CROW.’Are you not able to understand this?＂A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary,which he had kept since his son was born.On opening a page,he asked his son to read that page.＂Today my little son aged3was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge.My son

test his son’s patience.B.He had trouble in hearing.C.He didn’t want to be treated as a burden.D.He tried to remind his son of what he did in the pastCIsn't it astonishing how much time we spend talking about food?“Have you ever eaten…?”“What did you have for lunch?”and so on.And yet when you travel from one country to another,you wil l find that people have quite different feelings about food.People o ften feel that what they eat is normal and that what other people eat is strange or silly.In most parts of Asia,for example,no m eal is complete without rice.In England,people eat potatoes every d ay.In the Middle East,bread is the main part of every meal.Eat ing like so many things we do,becomes a habit which is difficult to change.Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee.The English drink tea four or five times every day.Australians d rink a great deal of beer,and the French drink wineevery day.The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another.Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France.In Hong Kong,some people enjoy eating snakes.New Zealander eat sh eep,but they never eat goat meat.The Japanese don't like to eat s heep meat because of its smell,but they enjoy eating raw fish.So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours,there is very litt le common sense in what we say it.People everywhere enjoy eating wh at they have always eaten,and there is very little we can do to c hange our eating habits.8.Which of the following is true according to the article?A.All people have the same feeling about food.B.In most parts of Asia,people usually have rice for meals.C.People often consider other people to be strange or silly.D.The topic people spend time talking about is bread and

five times a day.A.because they get thirsty easilyB.because there is plenty of tea in BritainC.because of their drinking habitD.because they have enough time to do soDSquare dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise,which is a good thing.However,a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York's Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents.The local court even served a summons(传票)related to a certain Ms Wang.The news soon caused heated discussion across China,with many believing the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West,while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the United States.The United States is a diverse society,and in many cases,Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated.Meanwhile,the United States is a society based on the rule of law,and due to cultural differences,local regulations seem to be very different from those in China.As a result,some old Chinese ladies dancing in New York's Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation.Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility.Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.Before,these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules.However, since the incident took place,they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum.People from different nations are often supposed to reach compromises，respecting and tolerating each other.Whatever your choice of entertainment,it is important not to affect other people's lives.Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior.As for US police practice,there might still be some room for improvement.Some were said to be rather rude,leading to the so­called“racial discrimination”，which is a sensitive topic in US society.If the involved parties could be more tolerant,and solve such problems without involving the court,perhaps immigrants would mix more.12．The writer mentions the incident in Paragraph1to.A．show his opinion B．make complaintsC．bring up the topic D．criticize the local police13．The underlined word“tranquility”in Paragraph3can be replaced by. A．entertainment B．quietnessC．freedom D．quality14．What will the senior Chinese ladies most probably do after the incident? A．Go back to China.B．Fight for their right.C．Ask America to change its law.D．Keep the noise lower.15．What's the writer's attitude towards senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York's Sunset Park?A．He thinks all parties involved should be more tolerant.B．He strongly supports the action of the local police.C．He considers it a shame for senior Chinese ladies to do so.D．He suggests such kind of problem should be solved in the court.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Taco Bell, for instance, offers its part- time employees the chance to win up to a $ 25 ,000 award through its Live Mas Scholarship. The award can be used toward vocational schools or a two- or four-year college. Employees must have worked for the company at least three continuous months.Work-studyFor years the work-study program has allowed students to earn money through part-time work. Students aged between 16 and 24 who file Free Application for Student Aid maybe qualified for the program.While these jobs aren't always on campus, students in work study earn at least $7.25 per hour一the state minimum wage.Paid internshipsA paid internship (实习) can not only help students pay for college but can also open doors for full-time work aftergraduation .According to a 2019 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, nearly two-thirds of paid interns received a job offer，while just about 44% of unpaid interns were offered a job.On-demand economy jobsKnown for its flexibility，the jobs can help students earn cash between classes.These on-demand jobs include completing small jobs，making deliveries or even driving for ride-booking services.Students can typically earn more through on-demand work，ranging from $10 to $20 an hour.1．What are the applicants for the work-study program required to doA.

Among them inColombia, a riv er stands out as “the most beautiful river” in the world. Locally called Carni o Cristales, this special river lies in a national park. It is made up of several waterfalls, rapids, and plenty of pools. For most of the year, Canio Cristales looks like a common river: clean, green, and rocky. However, during the short period between September and November, the river explodes（迸发）with life and colour. It appears as any mix of colours including blue, green, yellow, orange, and a purplish red. So it is also know n as the “River of Five Colours”.Although at first it may appear as if some chemicals were added to the water, this rainbow river is completely natural. Cafio Cristales’colours are the result of a rare（稀有）water plant which needs sunlight to grow. The plants change colour depending on how much sunlight they receive, and the amount is decided by the height and speed of the water. Therefore, it is possible for the plants to be totally colourless if the sunlight is too hard to get. They are a delicate plant. This makes them easily damaged in the water.Actually, the river faces some problems, including drier seasons, wildlife trouble, waste management, and budget（预算）cuts. In 2007, the park was forced to close because it was over-crowded with tourists. Now the park admits only 200 people a day and requires them to mind their behaviour.Today, Cano Cristales still shines among Colombia's most popular natural attractions, drawing thousands of tourists every year. 4．When is the best time to visit Cafio CristalesA. In October.B. In March.C. In June.D. In January.5．Why is Cano Cristales colourfulA. The water is badly polluted.B. People add chemicals to it.C. A special plant lives in it.D. The weather is changeable there. 6．What once caused the park to be closedA. The wildlife problem.B. The poor service.C. Too much rubbish.D. Too many visitors.Coca-Cola is to test a paper bottle as part of a longer-term goal to get rid of plastic from its packaging entirely. The prototype (样本) is made by a Danish company from an extra-strong paper shell that still contains a thin plastic liner（衬垫）. But the goal is to create a 100% recyclable, plastic-free bottle capable of preventing gas escaping from carbonated drinks —such as cola and beer. The barrier must also ensure no fibers get into the liquid.That may have a risk of changing the taste of the drink —or potentially can’t meet the requirements of health and safety checks. But industry giants are backing the plan. Coca-Cola, for example, has set a goal of producing zero waste by 2030. Coca-Cola was ranked the world’s number one plastic polluter by charity group Break FreeFrom Plastic last year, closely followed by other drink-producers Pepsi and Nestle.The Paper Bottle Company, or Paboco, is the Danish firm behind the development of the paper-based container. Part of the challenge has been to create a structure capable of standing the forces exerted（施加）by carbonated drinks which are bottled under pressure. On top of that, the paper needs to be mouldable to create distinct bottle shapes and sizes for different brands and take ink for printing their labels. After more than seven years of lab work, the firm is now ready to host a trial in Hungary this summer of Coca-Cola’s fruit drink Adez. Initially, this will involve 2,000 bottles distributed via a local retail chain.But it is also working with others. Absolut, a vodka-maker, is due to test 2,000 paper bottles of its own in the UK and Sweden of its pre-mixed, carbonated raspberry drink. And beer company Carlsberg is also building prototypes of a paper beer bottle.Michael Michelsen, the firm’s commercial manager, says the bottles are formed out of a single piece of paper-fiber-based material to give them strength.7．What is the long-term goal of Coca-Cola companyA. To rid plastics from its packaging.B. To produce drinks of alternative tastes.C. To expand business in European countries.D. To use paper bottles with a thin plastic liner.8．What can we learn from the textA. Coca-Cola has very strong competitors.B. Some industry giants are in favor of plastic free packaging.C.

AFour books that will inspire you to travel the worldThere's truly nothing like travel when it comes to gaining perspectives and exposing yourself to other cultures. To get you in the adventuring mood, we asked Amazon Senior Editor Chris Schlep to help you come up with a list of books that transport readers to another time and place. Below, see his list of four books that will inspire you to travel the world.ITALY: Beautiful Ruins by Jess W alterThis book by the popular author Jess Walter is a love story that begins on the Italian Coast in the early 60s and eventually concludes in contemporary Hollywood's screen. As the settings shift from Italy to Edinburgh and Los Angeles, you will find yourself longing to go as well. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $28.90SEATTLE: Where'd Y ou Go, Bernadette by Maria SempleMaria Semple's first novel is not exactly a love story in Seattle, but if you read it, you just might want to come here to see if people are really as self-involved as the characters in her book. What really shines through is the strange storytelling and the laughs. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $26.60ENGLAND: W olf Hall by Hilary MantelY ou can't travel to Thomas Cromwell's England without a time machine, but reading Mantel's prize-winning novel is the next best thing. It will make you long to see the ancient buildings and green grass of the English countryside, most of which are still there. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $25.10NANTUCKET: Here's to Us by Elin HilderbrandElin Hilderbrand has built a writing career out of writing about her hometown island of Nantucket.

Its storytelling and laughs.23. Why is Here's to Us suitable for reading on the beach?A. Because it's about the author’s hometown island.B. Because it needs a time machine.C. Because it's about ancient buildings.D. Because it exposes yourself to other cultures.BIt was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: “And they lived happily ever after.” As I looked over to her with her wavy(鬈曲的), brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then I realized that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to “live happily ever after”.Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldn't always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in sorrow and I couldn't comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I stroked(轻抚) her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question.It takes me a lot of years to realize that it is possible to live happily ever after. Y ou just have to do it “one day at a time”. Happiness you see isn't some reward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isn't something that depends on what life you own. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day.The truth is happiness comes when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to “live happily ever after, one day at a time”.24. What is the author's wish to his daughter?A. Getting a good job in the future.B. Making many friends in her school.C. Traveling around the world in her life.D. Having a happy life ever after.25. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. Life's meaning consists in devotion.B. Living happily ever after seemed out of question to the author.C. There are times that life goes against us.D. Everyone has the right to obtain happiness and freedom.26. How to get happiness in author's opinion?A. Reward yourself once a day.B. Create it by yourself in your daily life.C. Get rid of those disturbing things.D. Take charge of your life independently.27. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To show the significance of love.B. To describe a daughter's growth.C. To introduce the definition of love.D. To tell a young father's experience.CTablets（平板电脑）are useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a b urden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone withthe powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand? Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable（可折叠的）phone is about to become available. In February, Samsung and Huawei both introduced foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X separately, to the public for the first time. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, the Verge noted.The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want but still fit easily into the pocket. The technology could change other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers, which could help increase available space to the maximum. In a keynote address, Justin Denison, Samsung’s senior vice president, called the foldable screen “the basis for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “It’s a blank canvas (画布) for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective or unusable. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17, 500 RMB. That's a price that few people will be able to afford.But if the foldable device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry expert told The V erge, “Few are debating if foldable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.”28. What do we know about foldable devices?A. They are too big to fit into the pocket.B. They could bring us much convenience.C. They have become available in January.D. They are a burden to carry around without a bag.29. What can we learn from Denison’s words?A. The foldable screen has great potential.B. The technology could change other devices too.C. There must be many problems with the technology.D. The production of foldable phones will soon decrease.30. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?A. completeB. properC. imperfectD. normal31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Types of foldable phones.B. The coming of foldable devices.C. Popular devices on the market.D. Difficulties in producing foldable phones.DBlue Planet II's latest episode(一集) focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench，haveplastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic．Though it seems now that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics，plastics used by consumers are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science．We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species，including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent．And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers （否认者）, at least so far. To do something about it, we don't have to remake our planet energy system．This is not a problem where we don't know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage．Anyone can do it．We know how to dispose （处理）of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use plastic products. Things may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag. But when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference．32.Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult．B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal．C. The world couldn't possibly function without plastics．D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up．33.How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A. By statistics．B. By quotations from leading experts．C. By using examples from his own experience．D. By comparison and contrast．34.What can we infer about climate change ?A. Climate change is caused by human activities．B. Climate change is not as simple as ocean pollution．C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution．D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change．35.What is the main idea of this passage?A. Ocean pollution is a global issue．B. The oceans become choked with plastic．C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken．D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the world第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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。
