He was gray like his father. He was the strongest cub. He showed more anger than his brothers and sisters. He made more noises.He was a carnivorous animal. He came of a breed of meat-killers and meat-eaters.His father and mother lived wholly upon meat. In his first months of life, he lived on mother’s milk, which was transformed directly from meat. And now, at a month old, when his eyes had been open for but a week, he was beginning himself to eat meat.There came a time when there was no meat. For many days the cubs did not eat. They were too weak and tired to play. One-Eye, the cub’s father, was killed in the fight over food. Even the she-wolf left the cave to find meat, but there was nothing. One by one, the cubs died. Only theshe-wolf and the gray cub were left.One day the gray cub ran out of the cave to hunt for his own food. He met a weasel（黄鼠狼）of his size. The rat-like animal ran at him and bit his throat. He was nearly dead when the she-wolf arrived just in time to kill and eat it.The gray cub was not good at hunting yet, and still needed food from his mother. One day, the she-wolf brought him a lynx（猞猁）kitten. While eating, he heard great noise. The kitten’s mother had followed the she-wolf here. The she-wolf and the she-lynx started to fight, and they would fight to the death. This was enough to give the she-wolf the chance she needed. The lynxwas dead, but the she-wolf was badly hurt. For a week, she did not move. The gray cub had to find food for both of them.Without his mother to take care of him, he learnt what life was about. Without meat there was no life. Animals had to eat other animals to survive. The law was: EAT OR BE EATEN. (—Taken from White Fang)44. The gray cub was ______________ than his brothers and sisters.A. stronger and redderB. weaker and grayerC. stronger and grayerD. weaker and quieter45.

Do you watch short videos on some apps? According to the China Internet Network Information Center, the number of short video users reached 773 million in March, 2020. That is, about 86% of all Chinese Internet users are watching or making short videos, or both! If you say short videos are only popular in China, you're wrong. TikTok has more than 800 million users around the world.Many users like short videos. They say the videos not only make them relax, but also teach them useful skills. “I love watching Lao Qiao’s short videos on my phone,” Francis, one of the short video users, says. “Lao Qiao is a famous cook and his videos are my favourite ones. From his videos, people can learn how to make Shanxi noodles in no time at all.” However, quite a few people think short videos aren't that good. “There are many othe r ways to relax, like watching movies, reading books and playing sports,” they say. “All of them are more meaningful to people.”What’s more, if people start watching the short videos, they can hardly stop. There are always new ones waiting for them, so they always spend hours on them. Some educators say people shouldn’t spend much time on short videos. "Most of them are just for fun," they say. “They don’t teach people to think or to improve themselves. It’s not good for the people, and not good for soci ety, either.”47. From the first paragraph, we know that _________.A. children around the world like watching short videos.B. short videos are popular around the world.C. people spend much time watching short videos.D.

Cloze test (0.5%*20=10%)In my senior year of high school, Mike and I were lined up in front of a small group of students made up mainly of the leaders of the senior classes. Our teacher said to us, “The two of you will never be 41 .”There was some snickering(窃笑) from some seniors 42 the teacher continued, “From now on, I am not going to 43 any more time on either of you. I am only going to spend my time with these class leaders. You two are the class downs with 44 grades, and you will never succeed in anything. Now get out of here.”That teacher taught Mike and me the biggest 45 of all. Though what she said was true in many ways and her words 46 us deeply, her words also 47 both of us work even harder. They carried us through 48 and into our own business.A few years ago, Mike and I attended our high school 49 . It was 50 to visit with people with whom we had spent three years, though it is a period of time when 51 of us really knew who we were. It was also interesting too see that most of the so-called senior 52 had not become successful in the years after high school.I tell this story 53 Mike and I were not kids doing well in school. We were neither financial experts(金融专家) nor athletic stars. For the most part, we were slow-to-average learners and students. In my opinion, we did not have the natural 54 as some other people. Yet it was our teacher’s hurtful words and the snickering from our classmates that gave us strength to move 55 , to learn from our 56 and keep doing in both good times and bad times.Perhaps you didn’t do well in school, were not popular, bad in math, or have other 57 to underestimate(低估) yourself. 58 none of them matter in the long run. They only matter if you think they matter.For those who’s considering beginning your own financial fast track, you may have some 59 about your abilities.Trust that you have 60 you need right now to be successful financially. All it takes to bring out your natural gifts is your wish, hard work and deep faith that you have genius and a gift that is unique.41. A. rich B. successful C. popular D. famous42.

Reading comprehension (1%*15=15%)AAfter setting up a free online Harry Potter center in April, the British author J.K. Rowing brings even more good news.In May, Rowling published a new fairy tale called The lckabog, which was free to read online to help entertain people who are stuck at home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The idea for The Ackabog came to her while she was still writing Harry Potter. However, after the last Potter book, she wanted to take a break from publishing, which ended up lasting five years.The unique story is about a monster known as the lckabog, a fierce child-eating monster who lives in the northern tip of an imaginary land known as Cornucopia and has incredible powers.Though the book is written for children, it is also fascinating to adults. It addresses many relatable topics, such as weak leadership, misuse of power and suppression(镇压)of those who are holding different opinions.“The lckabog is a story about truth and the wrong use of power,” Rowling wrote on the website.” “To raise one obvious question: the idea came to me well over many years ago, so It isn’t planned to be read as a response(反应) to anything that’s happening in the world right now. The themes are timeless and could apply to(适用) in any era or any country.”Rowling posted the first two chapters online on May 26, with daily installments(一部分) tofollow until July 10. The lckabog is available to read in English (UK/US), French, Italian, German, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese on The Ickabog website. Readers can also check the website for updates on other languages.She is also planning to publish the book in print later this year and then donate the royalties(版税) from its sales to projects and organizations helping the groups most influenced by COVID-19.61. What type is JK Rowling’s new book?A. Science fictionB. Fairy taleC. HorrorD. Magic story62. Which topic is talked about in the book?A. Weak leadership.B. Lies and truth.C. Right use of power.D. Love for freedom.63. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 5?A. The websiteB. The questionC. The storyD. The idea64. What is the earliest time for the readers to read the complete story?A. At the beginning of April.B. In the middle of May.C. In late June.D. In early July.65. Which is NOT TRUE about J. K Rowling according to this passage?A. She had an almost five-year-break after finishing the last Potter book.B. She planned The lckabog in response to something happening right now.C. She posted The lckabog online, which is available in many languages.D. She will donate the royalties of The Ickabog to help those people affected by the virus.【答案】BADDBBBeijing has stepped up overall measures (措施)----including canceling flights, stopping classes and expanding nucleic acid testing(核酸检测)---- to keep a new wave of local COVID-19 cases under control. The move comes as the number of confirmed cases(确诊病例) in the city is expected to rise in the coming days.The Chinese capital reported 31 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 137 since the first new local case was reported on June11. All are related to(有关的) the Xinfadi market in southern Beijing’s Fengtai district.“Since Xinfadi was the largest produce market in the city, with large flows of people, and the outbreak was still in the early period, it’s likely (可能的)that the number of new COVID-19 patients will continue to rise for a certain period,” Pang Xinghuo, deputy head of the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at a news conference on Wednesday.These local cases were believed to be caused by contaminated objects(污染物)and then the virus was passed from human to human, she said.Among the 31 new cases reported on Tuesday, the youngest patient is 8 years old and the oldest is 70. The average age is 43, with 19 males and 12 females, Pang said.After Beijing announced on Tuesday night it would raise its public health emergency response to the second-highest level of its four levels, a group of strengthened(加强的)measures was taken to keep the disease from spreading.By Wednesday, four provinces----Hebei, Sichuan, Liaoning and Zhejiang----had reportedpatients with confirmed illness related to the cases that had appeared in Beijing since Saturday. Many cities in China have introduced a range of quarantine(隔离)measures for travelers from Beijing.66. According to the passage, measures were taken to prevent a more serious outbreak of COVID-19 in Beijing, except___________.A. stopping classesB. expanding nucleic acid testingC. taking quarantine measuresD. canceling flights67. From the second paragraph, we know that___________.A. 31 new COVID-19 cases were from the Xinfadi marketB. 137 new COVID-19 cases were from the Xinfadi marketC. the number of new COVID-19 cases before Tuesday was unknownD. the new COVID-19 cases were increasing in Beijing68.

Among the new cases on Tuesday, the youngest was 8 years old.D. The number of new cases will probably continue to rise.69.
