ABook towns started with Hay-on-Wye in the UK: now there are communities around the world that celebrate the written word.Biblo Toyen, OsloThis children-only library is aimed at 10 to 15 year olds. Adults are not allowed in and must wait outside for their children to come out. The library is run along normal lines, with library Cards for borrowing books, and is particularly well suited to children after the school day is over.After consulting young readers in focus groups, the designers have put a truck with a functional kitchen in the back (the library also runs activities including cookery courses) and a reading sofa. Books are arranged by themes, which means no book has a fixed location. At night, a machine flies around the library to scan and update the books' positions.Bellprat, Catalonia, SpainIn many ways, this small village is the ideal book town.

It has an attractive centre and its population is enthusiastic about throwing open its doors to book-loving visitors, Bellprat is also the first book town in Catalonia.During the town's main festival on the first weekend in June-several village houses are temporarily turned into secondhand book shops, as there are not enough stalls(摊位) in the market. The books on sale are mainly in the Catalan language, however As well as promoting the village, the book town label is used for good causes: at a recent festival, there was an activity in which books could be exchanged in return for donations to a food bank. Other book based events range from meetings and readings to events run by independent publishers.This is very much a community run book town From simple beginnings in 2008. it now offers visitors more than 20.000 books for sale This is impressive, given that the population of the village is under 100.1. what may people see if they are in the library in Biblo Toyen?A.

They'd spent months cutting and piling up the firewood, valued at about $10,000. However, they had no intention of selling it- they were giving it away to people in need. "No one feels cold in our neighborhood this holiday season," McDaniel wrote in his post, offering to deliver firewood, free of charge, to neighbors who needed a hand heating their homes.Cutting firewood is their favorite activity. By late summer, the McDaniels' house was surrounded by a big wall of firewood. Once the firewood started piling up high, people would pull up daily and ask to buy some. "We politely told them none of it was for sale and they'd look at us like we were crazy," Shane McDaniel said, adding that he was surprised at how many people burned firewood as their only source of heat.Since early November, McDaniel and his sons have brought the firewood to hundreds of people who don't have money to heat their homes, and there was still more firewood to be delivered. Single mom Katelyn Ticer, who lived in a mobile home in Lake Stevens with her 3-year- old daughter, was excited to get a delivery from the McDaniels, as a wood-burning stove was her only source of heat." Getting that much firewood moved me to tears," Ticer said. "I couldn't be more thankful."Once the McDaniels' generosity was widely known to people, others in the Lake Stevens community started joining in, Local food bank volunteers helped sort through the firewood requests and make delivery lists. A company offered free chimney cleaning. There are so many donation offers, and people show up day or night to drop off truckloads of firewood to add to the McDaniels' pile.4 .Why did MeDaniel make the post on Facebook?A.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. Little people can make a big difference.CA green field runs along the northern border of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, next to one of its runways. This is the workplace of some most unusual employees, who spend their time eating as much as they want.These seasonal workers are farm animals- goats, sheep and one donkey(驴) who help manage the landscape of one of America's busiest airports by eating overgrown vegetation. Goats, in particular, are increasingly used to eat grass at parks in urban areas. But at an airport, the hungry herd(畜群) serves a different purpose. They clear long grasses and invasive species. Their eating helps make habitats less attractive to wild animals that can disturb airport operations, like, a raccoon(浣熊) on a runway, or unfortunate birds caught in a flight path. "Tall grass provides harbor for small mammals(哺乳动物) that are then food for bigger creatures like eagles. We suggest short grass," says a biologist working with O'Hare. The donkey has an extra job: He protects his colleagues from wolves, which see the field as a site for their buffet.The airport chooses a new group of grass-eaters every year. This latest group belongs to Andrew Tokarz, who raised them on his farm in Lemont, Illinois. They arrived in June 2019 and stayed for three months. During this time, they ate their way across 11.5 acres of land, which was separated from the dangerous runway by a fence(栅栏), and the road, by a river and electric fencing.One might think the noise of planes might frighten these gentle employees. Tokarz's animals stopped when they first heard the noise, but they quickly realized the source wasn't threatening. When the third one came by, they didn't even raise their heads. "Actually they acclimated within five minutes," he says.As the herd settles, the area becomes less welcoming to dangerous wildlife which is for their good, as they wouldn't get into dangerous zones. An airport is a terrible place for wildlife like birds. But it's a perfect place for the grass-eaters.8. Where does the herd of farm animals work?A. Around a small river.B. In an area close to a runway.C. Around n park near the airport.D. On a farm near the airport.9 Why does O’Hare International Airport employ the herd?A. To scare away wild animals.B. To free birds caught in flight paths.C. To beautify the local environment.D. To improve the safety of the airport.10. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "acclimated”in Paragraph 47A. Fitted in.B. Took off:C. Got along.D. Looked out.11. What can we infer from the text?A The donkey is there only for protection.B.No animals are welcome near the airport.C. Wolves may threaten the lives of the grass eaters.D. Tokarz's animals returned home in 2020.DRecently 1 read Nineteen Eighty-Four, a book by George Orwell set in a totalitarian state where even the language people use is controlled. Adjectives are forbidden and instead people use phrases such as "plus good" and "double plus good" to express emotions. As 1 first read this, I thought how impossible it would be in our society to have such vocabulary.However, the more I think about it, the more I realize it's happening in its own way.I type messages to my friends and alongside each are the emojis(表情符号). I often use them to emphasize something because they express my emotions much better than I ever could using just words. And I wonder, with our overuse of emojis, if we are losing the beauty and diversity of our vocabulary.English has the largest vocabulary in the world, but who's to say what it’ll be like in the future? Perhaps we will have a shorter language, full of saying "cry face" if something sad happens or using abbreviations like LOL (laugh out loud) or BRB (be right back) instead of saying the full phrases. So does this mean our vocabulary will decrease? Is this classic case of the older generations saying, "Things are no longer what they used to be. We didn't use emojis to show our emotions"?Yet when you look back over time, the power of images has always been there. Even in prehistoric times people used images to communicate, and what's even more unbelievable is that we are able to analyse those drawings and understand the meaning of them thousands of years later. Images, whether they are cave paintings or emojis, allow us to express a message that's not restrictive but rather universal.12. What did the author think of the vocabulary used by people in the novel at first?A. Colorful.B. Interesting.C. Unbelievable.D. Mysterious.13. Why does the author mention his typing messages to friends?A. To show the emoji has been a form of communication.B. To explain people tend to overuse emojis today.C. To show his close relationship with friends.D. To explain why he prefers emojis to words.14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. English will become a shorter language in the future.B. Nineteen Eighty-Four is a book on totalitarian by George Orwell.C. Abbreviations may become more popular in daily communication.D. The older generations are not likely to accept new things.15. What can be inferred about images from the last paragraph?A. They are very powerful in expressing a message.B. They will replace language in communication.C. They were only an ancient way to communicate.D. They restrict our language and communication.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Alex met Susan in October, when the Students' Union provided members the opportunity to volunteer for an individual impacted by the disease.

She also saw that teenagers seemed more comfortable communicating through texting. These two realizations pushed Lublin to create Crisis Text Line, an orgnnization that focuses on crisis intervention through text messaging."Texting turns out to be incredibly effective for counsceling in a crisis, ”Lublin told Glamour magazine.“It cuts right to the chase. You don't get hyperventilating (呼吸急促) and crying. You just get facts. ”When someone texts Crisis Text Line, the counselors, who are trained volunteers, use listening, collaborative problem-solving, and referrals to best help the texter overcome their crisis. “The Crisis Text Line has blown the roof o ff a lot of long-held assumptions about teens,”said Anthony Pisani, a member of Crisis Text Line's clinical advisory board. He continued:“The number of kids reaching out is unpreccdented. And I think the data could be revolutionary in terms of understandin g adolescents in crisis and what it takes to help them.”In fact, the data. has already helped to uncover new trends. For example, the organization found that 30 percent of texts are about depression and suicide. They also found that two-thirds of crises occur at night between 8 pm and 4 am. Although the counselors don't exactly know what causes these trends, they hope the data, which is made publicly available on CrisisTrends. org, can be used by researchers to better understand what might trigger them. They also hope that making this data public will better reduce the shame surrounding mental health support. Since starting in August 2013, Crisis Text Line has had over 5. 5 million conversations with people seeking immediatemental health help. That number is only expected to grow as more people become comfortable enough to reach out for help when they are experiencing a mental health crisis.“People are texting us from the office, from the lunch table,” Lublin said. “They're texting us right when something is happening. So we're getting them at the moment we can be most impactful- -and we're telling them they' re not alone.Lublin commented, "I've got to admit that it feel pretty good to save lives. ”( )8. What's the main purpose of Crisis Text Line?A.To collect data about teenager health issues.B. To offer teenagers mental health support.C. To train teens to provide texting services.D. To smooth parent- teen communication.( )9. What does the underlined phrase“cuts right to the chase" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Involves a lot of work.B.Lends someone a hand.C. Communicates feelings.D. Goes directly to the point.( )10. Why is the data made public?A. To explore causes and solutions.B. To promote the organization.C. To call attention to mental health.D. To know what adolescents care about.( )11. What does Lublin think of Crisis Text Line?A. It gives her a sense of achievement.B. It helps her overcome her mental problems.C. Its services should be more effective.D. The number of its users is likely to drop.DAn ancient plant, amaranth (苋菜) is drawing attention throughout the world and connecting indigenous people (土著人) to their history. It has become a billion-dollar food and cosmetic product since the 1970s. The ancient grain can be found in greater numbers of grocery stores in the US and Mexico, and increasingly in the Asia Pacific and Europe.“This is a plant that could feed the world,”Beata Tsosie-Pena, a coordinator of the environmental health and justice program at nonprofit Tewa Women United, told The Guardian. Amaranth is actually a grain, like buckwheat, and native to Mesoamerica, a region including southern Mexico and many countries in Central America. Its seed is a highly nutritious source of protein, vitamins and minerals. It's proved to be an attractive product for health-conscious shoppers.A single amaranth plant produces hundreds of seeds and can be grown in a wide variety of climates and countries from India, China, Southeast Asia to West Africa and the Caribbean. It's this resilience that allowed the plant to survive over the centuries, even when the Spanish arrived in the Americas in the 16th century and outlawed amaranth. Growing amaranth has also provided a degreeof economic independence for indigenous farmers in Guatemala and the US, according to The Guardian. Even after facing a near-extinction event in Guatemala when state forces targeted the Maya people and burned their fields, farmers preserved their amaranth seeds by hiding them in jars in the field and under their floorboards.“What we want is for the whole world to produce their own food,”Maria Aurelia Xitumul, a member of agricultural community Qachuu Aloom, told The Guardian. "For the seeds, distance doesn't exist. Borders don't exist. ”Most rcently, Xitumul said that during the pandemic, people with their own gardens, especially in locked down communities, felt secure knowing they had control over their food supply, thanks to amaranth.“Amaranth has completely changed the lives of famili es in our communities, not only economically, but spiritually ," added Xitumul.( )12. What do we knowAbout amaranth?A. It was found In Mesoamerica ln the 1970s.B. It mainly grows in the Americas and Europe.C. It contains abundant vitamins and minerals.D. It's one of the most expensive foods in the world.( )13.What made it possible for amaranth to survive over the century.A.Its ability to produce many seeds.B. Its function of offering economic independence.C. Its attraction for health-conscious consumers.D. Its ability to adjust to different environments.( )14. What does Xitumul point out?A. Plants should be grown in line with local conditions.B. Countries should work together to promote the seeds.C. Amaranth gave people a sense of security during lockdown.D. Amaranth helped lift many families out of poverty.( )15. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. What is the origin of amaranth?B. An ancient plant has amazing benefitsC. Amaranth is boming increasingly popular.D.How can we apply a magical plant to our daily life?第二节(共5小题;每小题 2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下而短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

ABest Venice ToursGrand CanalConsidered to be the main street of Venice, the 2-mile-long Grand Canal is one of the city’s most popular and highly photographed attractions. If you’re hoping to hire a gondolier (贡多拉船夫) for a romantic (but expensive) row along the canal, plan to pay between 80 and 120 euros for the ride. Many others suggested hopping aboard the vaporetto (水上巴士), or the public water taxi, for a much cheaper experience. Vaporetto Line I travels down the Grand Canal. Travel experts strongly recommend purchasing a Venezia Unica City Pass if you don’t plan on walking the entirety of your trip due to the high cost of one-way fare.Rialto BridgeSeveral centuries ago, the Rialto Bridge was the only way to cross the Grand Canal. There are now four major bridges that cross the canal, but the Rialto Bridge is by far the most famous. The bridge is a design work of Antonio da Ponte. Predicted to fail by critics, the bridge still stands and is considered an engineering wonder.Campanile di San MarcoThis particular bell tower was built in the early 20th century, as a reproduction of the 16th-century one, which was used by Galileo Galilei to set his telescope. It also served as a stage for tight rope walkers during the Fl ight of the Angel celebration. Today’s bell tower, with a 324-foot height, is used for sightseers who want to have a full view of Venice. To avoid crowds, travelers say it’s best to go early in the morning or late in the evening.St. Mark’s SquareSt. Mark’s Square, or Piazza San Marco, is considered to be the heart of Venice. As the largest square in Venice, St. Mark’s Square is the only “piazza” in the city. It’s strongly recommended that visitors visit the square either early in the morning or late in the evening simply because of the crowds. The restaurants and shops in the square are very expensive. It’s recommended that visitors walk a few streets away from the square to find more reasonably priced meals and souvenirs. 1．Why is a Venezia Unica City Pass recommended?A. To pay for the public transportation at a lower price.B. To ensure visitors take the best photos of the attractions.C. To enable visitors to experience a romantic trip with a gondolier.D. To help save money for the tickets of the most popular attractions.2．Which of the following attractions has some connections with space science?A. Grand Canal.B. Piazza San Marco.C. Rialto Bridge.D. Campanile di San Marco.3．In which section of a website can we probably read this text?A. Tourism.B. Food.C. Science.D. Arts.BWhen presented with a Make-A-Wish grant, most 13-year-old boys would buy a gaming system or take a trip to Disney World. But Abraham Olagbegi is not like most teens!Abraham is recovering from a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) resulting from rare genetic blood disorder. Last year was a scary time for him and his family, but the transplant was successful, and he’s now on a path to good health. When he found out he was qualified for Make-A-Wish, he shocked everyone with his request.“I remember we were coming home from one of his doctor appointments and he said, ‘Mom, I thought about it, and I really want to feed the homeless,’” said Miriam Olagbegi, Abraham’s mother. “I said, ‘Are you sure, Abraham? You could do a lot… You are sure you don’t want a PlayStation?’”Abraham’s whole family thought it was a great idea, especially since they’ve tried to teachtheir kids to give freely and openly to others whenever possible. In the 13-year-old’s words, “My parents always taught us t hat it’s a blessing to be a blessing.”Make-A-Wish granted Abraham’s special request, spending a day in September handing out ,free plates of food to people experiencing homelessness in Jackson, Mississippi. Local businesses donated all of the food and supplies, and together they managed to feed about 80 people!Abraham said seeing the gratitude on their faces made his wish come true and “warms our hearts”. Now the Make-A-Wish team will continue Abraham’s program named Abraham’s Table every month.We’re just very excited to be able to continue on this program. It’s just so rewarding.” Miriam said. “If I was out there on the streets, homeless, I would want somebody at some point to think of me and to do something special for me. So, that’s what I try to te ach my kids and we just try to pay it forward, by doing what we were raised to do.”4．What did Abraham Olagbegi request as a wish?A. A gaming system.B.

It’s also leading our next generation towards increased rates of obesity (肥胖), according to the findings of a new survey.A national survey of 1,006 parents found that close to half of all 12 to 18 years old teenagers can’t boil an egg; 1 in 5 only have kitchen skills that allow them to pour milk on cereal; 42%can’t boil noodles; 83.9%don’t know how to roast a chicken; 60.1 percent can’t bake a potato.Research company Pureprofile asked parents to judge how well their kids could perform in the kitchen across some tasks. More than half (67.3%) of parents believe their children could do betterwhen it comes to healthy food and lifestyle knowledge. Close to half of parents (42.5%) believe poor food choices are caused by lack of education at middle school, with 9 in 10 parents in support of schools doing more to encourage a healthy lifestyle.Miriam Raleigh, an expert on the relationship between food and health, said she was already seeing a generation of young parents who had “no idea how to cook”. “They depend on convenience meals and easy snacks, and those foods often have a higher fat and salt content which can lead to obesity and a lot of health problems,” Ms Raleigh said.The school’s Kitchen Garden program founder, Stephanie Alexander, said that if more was not done to improve the situation we would be heading towards a generation of fatter and more unhealthy kids. Ms Alexander also said she would introduce her Kitchen Garden program into middle schools so teenagers can learn the art of cooking food.“I’m so proud of what we have achieved in the primary school and I really believe we can have the same success in middle schools,” she said.8．What did the national survey find about Australian teenagers?A.

To improve school education.D. To promote a cooking program.DA small group of Cuban dive instructors have started a project to grow coral (珊瑚) and replant it. The divers hope to restore part of Cuba’s barrier reef (堡礁). And they are working with limited financial support and using materials recovered from the coast.Luis is one of the project’s leaders. The 44-year-old fisherman grew up on Cuba’s north coast. He said, “It’s incredible to see the loss of coral in the past 30 years.” He added, “Our dream is tomake the parts of the barrier reef that have lost their coral grow again.”To make that happen, Luis worked with other dive instructors and neighborhood schoolchildren with the support from Cuba’s environmental organizations. They began collecting pieces of coral spread across the ocean floor after large storms three years ago. The pieces were then hung on branches of underwater “trees” made from old plastic pipes and supported by fishing lines recovered from the coast. They were then “replanted” on the coral reef, fixed by nails driven into the rock. In a year, most survive and grow enough to repopulate the part of the barrier reef between 60 to 80 meters in length.Like many coral reefs around the world, the ones in Cuba are threatened by changing water temperatures, destructive plants and animals, pollution and over-fishing. It is reported that the world has already lost 30 to 50 percent of its coral reefs.Karine is a French diver who just visited Cuba for the first time. She said the reef looked better than others she had seen on dives elsewhere in the world, including in Africa. “The cora l needs to be protected,” she said after two dives on a recent trip to nearby Varadero. She said, “It’s good to see that in Cuba they take care of what they have, and that it is still not too affected by too much tourism.”12．What can we infer from the rec overy of the Cuba’s barrier reef?A. It is just a new project to start.B. It is a slow and difficult process.C. It is mainly carried out by schoolchildren.D.

I’ll be there then.(Text 4)M: Would you like to have lunch with us?W: I’d love to, but I have to help John with his math problem right now.M: Would you like me to give you a lift?W: No, thanks. His home is not far, so I can walk there.(Text 5)M: You can’t enter here, ma’ am. The line starts over there.W: Over there, all the way down the street?M: Yes.

It was nice and warm in Los Angeles and cool but comfortable in San Francisco.M: Cool in San Francisco? That’s surprising.W: Yeah, it surprised me a bit, too. We didn’t take any sweaters or anything, and they say it’s always like that in August. Anyway, I loved it. It’s probably the most beautiful city in the US-all those hills, the bay, and those charming old Victorian houses.M: So, you like it better than Los Angeles?W: Oh, yes. There’s much more to see and do. And because it’s smaller than Los Angeles, it’s a bit easier to get around. There are lots of buses and streetcars, and of course, the cable cars, too.(Text 10)Different countries and different races have different manners. Before entering a house in some Asian countries, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In some European countries, even though shoes are very muddy, this is not done. A guest in a Chinese house sometimes does not finish a drink to show that he has had enough. In a Malay house, too, a guest always leaves a little food. In England, a guest always finishes a drink to show that he or she enjoys it.We should learn about the customs of other races, so that they will not think us ill-mannered. But people all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means being kind and helpful to others, especially to those older or weaker. If you remember this, you will not go very far wrong. Here are some examples of the things that well-mannered people do and do not do. They never laugh at people when they are in trouble. They are always kind either to people or animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office they line up to wait for their turn. On the bus, they give their seats to older people who are standing. If they accidentally bump into someone, or get in their way, they say “Excuse me” or “I’m sorry”.They say “Please” when making a request, and “Thank you” when they receive something. They do not sit down until other persons are seated. They do not talk too much about themselves. When they’re eating，they do not speak with their mouths full of food.第二部分阅读理解第一节语篇导读本文为大家提供了四则有关露营圣地的信息。

I had paid him three pounds for the fish head. Why couldn’t I have the whole fish for soup, a head for brain and one pound left over?” He jumped up and shouted at the fisherman. “You thief!

But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems.Running is good exercise, but it can be hard on the body. 36 Take it easy. Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries when they push themselves too bad. The body needs time to get used to increase in distance or speed. 37Listen to your body. Most running injuries do not come unexpectedly. 38They may include body aches, sore muscles and pain that do not go away.39 There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More importantly, you should replace your shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.Take good notes. Take time after each run to write down what you did and how you felt. Look for patterns, things that happen over again. These notes will help you find the best exercise for you.Cross train. As we said earlier, running is hard on your body. So physical fitness experts suggest some form of cross training to improve muscle balance and to help you stay injury free. They say swimming, yoga, and riding a bicycle are good exercises to combine with running. 40A.Get good running shoes.ually, there are warning signs.C.Running may also help you live longerD.These exercises are easier on the body.E.Muscles and joints(关节) need time to recover.F.As advertisements for the running shoe Nike say, “just do it.”G.

ADay 1Finally, we are on our way! We spent so many days getting ready — it felt like we would never actually leave. But now we are out at sea. Soon we will arrive in the Canary Islands!Day 12The sailors are becoming more and more excited. The sea feels huge out here. The waves (浪) are bigger than any I have seen, and we have not seen many seabirds.Day 25I have been at sea now for more than three weeks, and things are starting to feel different. We do our jobs around the ship, but some of us are starting to worry. The sun is hot and beats down on our heads. I heard that there is not as much food and water in the ship as we had thought. I wonder about the other two ships sailing with us. Do they have more food and water than us? Are the sailors on the ships worried, too?Day 38I am wondering if this is going to be my last voyage. The food is running out and there is very little water. All around us, the sea stretches (延伸) forever, with no sign of land. I watch the captain (船长), waiting for him to give us some words to make us feel better. He says nothing. I have seen him coming out at night, looking at the stars and using that strange tool of his. He writes a lot of notes. Is he counting our food?Day 46The food and water are almost gone. I think about my mother and my sisters back in Spain. How will they manage if I die out here on the open sea?1. What is the author?A. A businessman.B. A scientist.C. A captain.D. A sailor.2. How did the author feel on Day 25?A. Excited.B. Worried.C. Hopeless.D. Surprised.3. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A diary.B. An invitation.C. A travel plan.D. A scientific report.BI have loved my favorite dance group called Above & Beyond for 15 years. They have always been a positive influence in my life through their songs and kindness.A few days ago, the group were holding a concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. I was going to go with my boyfriend but he had to leave for a business trip. When I was worried I had no one to go with, my best friend Sandra called me and said “Karina, I will go with you and take care of everything. Just buy your ticket before they are sold out.” I was so excited!Above & Beyond would pick four people from the crowd (观众) during the concert, take them to the stage and push a button (按钮) from one of their songs. I remember saying to Sandra when we got there “Imagine if we get to push the button tonight.”We both laughed and said “Um, no.”After enjoying the music for two hours, a gentleman in black started walking towards us. I thought he was going to the people behind us because they were a little noisy, so I said to Sandra “Uh oh, someone is getting kicked out.” But he came straight to us and said “No kidding. Above & Beyond would like to invite you to push the button.” I did not believe it at first, but he repeated what he had said and I started crying. He took us through huge crowds of people cheering and giving us high fives. We went backstage and I saw Tony, who was a member of the group. He walked up to me, hugged (拥抱) me and said “Are you ready to push the button?” I cried so much out of happiness.That day made me believe that when you want something badly enough, it can happen.4. What made the author worried before the concert?A. The news that she would have to go alone.B. The fact that the concert tickets were sold out.C. The news that she might leave for a business trip.D. The fact that she didn’t have enough money for a ticket.5. Why did the man in black walk towards the author?A. To kick out some noisy people.B. To have a talk with her.C. To give her a message.D. To play a joke on her.6. Why did the author and her friend go to the stage?A. They had something to say to Tony.B. They were invited to choose a song.C. They got a special gift from the group.D. They were chosen to sing together with the group.7. What can we learn from the author’s ex perience?A. One should have hope in life.B. Many things happen suddenly.C. Hard work can lead to success.D. Do what you love and love what you do.CMachines make loud noises. Needles (针) are pushed into your arms. Bright lights make your eyes tired.These things are common in a hospital room. But world-famous experts at MD Anderson Cancer (癌症) Center in Houston, Texas, are changing that. Doctors at the Children’s Cancer Hospital believe that a peaceful environment speeds up a young patient’s healing process (治愈过程).“Everything is designed to be as comfortable as possible,” said Kevin Long, director of pediatric operations (儿科手术).LED lights allow kids to change the color of their room to fit the way they’re feeling. And with a series of arts programs and activities for young patients, the team at MD Anderson is working to raise the quality of life for children fighting cancer.“When you’re going through a difficult situation like cancer, art helps you relax,” said Kasey Marsh, who organizes art classes for the Children’s Art Project. The program sells products with artwork created by young patients.Kids create the artwork while waiting to see their doctors, Marsh explained. “Sometimes, pa tients have to wait 10 minutes, sometimes longer,” she said. “But they don’t mind because the children who love art will run straight to the art table.”Another arts program offered by the hospital is the Arts in Medicine Program. The program includes visual arts, theater, dance, and music. “Many musicians do bedside performances (表演),” said Arts in Medicine Program manager Zachary Gresham. “Patients choose any song they want —from ‘Let It Go’ to Bach.”Studies show that listening to music is good for a patient’s health, too. Gresham believes that weaving the arts into medical trea tment is necessary. “There’s just something magical about art,” he said.Long agreed. “We try to make it so that patients don’t miss anything from their normal childhood.”Whether it’s the use of high technology in a patient’s room or providing chances of creativity, MD Anderson is on the way for better cancer care.8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To draw readers’ attention.B. To introduce the topic of the text.C. To express the main idea of the text.D. To list some things for readers to think about.9. What does the MD Anderson team do to help young patients?A. Raise money to cover their treatments.B. Create a comfortable environment for them.C. Shorten the time they wait to see their doctors.D. Give them chances to play with healthy children.10. What can patients do with the Arts in Medicine Program?A. Do magic.B. Design art tables.C. Meet some musicians.D. Paint artworks and sell them.11. What does the underlined word “weaving” in Paragraph 8 probably mean?A. Producing.B. Changing.C. Including.D. Considering.DYou may not consider yourself the patient type. Maybe your first-grade teacher pointed this out when you were pulling the door open before the bell even sounded. As a grown-up, maybeyou press the “close door” button in the lift many times. You’re not alone. Impatience has become a sign of a troubled society.The time we save to get to our destination (目的地) faster is not worth the price we pay for our health. As we all know, in traffic making rash (草率的) decisions can have serious results. In addition, there is a close relation between impatient people and many health problems.A 2011 study, for example, suggests impatience may even be making us fat. If you are willing to give up present satisfaction for future benefits (利益), it shows you are the patient type. If, however, you want your satisfaction right now without considering future benefits, it’s a sig n of impatience. You don’t need to do a lot of research to connect impatience with high blood pressure (压力) and even heart disease. Besides, being impatient could cause anxiety (焦虑). And if you’re always anxious, your sleep could be affected, too.So learning to be patient is important. The good news is that we can all learn to be patient. The first thing to do is to recognize that you have a problem. There are all kinds of everyday situations that test patience. Once you’ve found that cause, though, it wil l be a lot easier to break the bad habit. Most importantly, once we understand that what makes us impatient isn’t within our control, we can change the way we understand that situation. If you’ve made it, congratulations. You’re already on your way.12. Why is traffic mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. To explain the cause of impatience.B. To prove the dangers of impatience.C. To show the terrible traffic situation.D. To show the importance of traffic rules.13. The 2011 study mainly shows the relation between _____.A. anxiety and sleep qualityB. impatience and health problemsC. present satisfaction and future benefitsD. childhood experiences and grown-up behaviors14. What is the most important thing for people to fight impatience?A. Learning to control their impatience.B. Finding out what makes them impatient.C. Testing their patience in everyday situations.D. Seeing the situation that causes impatience differently.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Be more patientB. What causes impatience?C. Patient people laugh bestD. Why are people impatient?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。

AThis idea is mean (刻薄的). Children need to have a good holiday at the end of a busy school year. The long holidays give them time to do thi ngs they wouldn’t otherwise (不然) get to do. In my family we go to Ireland and see relatives and friends during the summer vacation. And it might seem long to some people, but time flies when you’re having fun.—Ruby MullinI have good memories (记忆) of my own long summer holidays, and I love the chance to have days out with my son. I think many parents, especially single parents like me, have made job choices based on being able to have time off for the summer —and now we’ve done that, we don’t want to see things changed.—Viki Bantock Having worked at a school that had a four-week summer break instead of the usual six, I’d say longer holidays are better. Teachers are under so much pressure (压力) now to get good results; most put in lots of hours in the evening and at weekends and feel very tired by the end of term. There is a dip (退步) in learning after a six-week holiday, but it only takes a few weeks for students to get back up to speed.—Marek KaminskiA shorter summer holiday would be much better. The six-week break seems a thing for another age, when mothers didn’t work and your mum lived round the corner to give you a hand. If I was able to take a six-week holiday, great, I’d love it —but in the real world that isn’t possible. Instead, I end up spending around £600 on childcare for each week when I’m working.—Nachelle Crowther1. What does Ruby Mullin usually do during summer holidays?A. She does part-time jobs.B. She visits relatives and friends.C. She goes travelling around her country.D. She prepares for the new school year.2. What do we know about Marek Kaminski?A. He doesn’t teach school any more.B. His son doesn’t do well in school.C. He usually works overtime.D. His family is very helpful.3. Who holds a different idea from the other three people?A. Ruby Mullin.B. Viki Bantock.C. Marek Kaminski.D. Nachelle Crowther.BA cafe owner has been delivering free soup for one year to a stranger going through chemotherapy (化疗). He serves up much more than meals — he has spent the last year serving up kindness to a stranger who loved his cooking.Juan Carlos Beristain runs JC’s Cafe in Cary, Illinois. In addition to making coffee, the 49-year-old man is famous for serving up many delicious soups. Noah Dionesotes is just one of the local people who adore Beristain’s soups. Being in poor health, Dionesotes has been depending on the soups as a valuable source of nutrition (营养) throughout his chemotherapy treatments.Beristain lea rned of Dionesotes’s health problems sometime last year after he saw a neighbor’s Facebook post about the man’s condition —and his love for the cafe’s soups. Beristain filled up a few cups of fresh soup at once and brought them to Dionesotes’s house.Dionesotes was surprised to find Beristain on his doorstep with food in hand — and he was even more shocked when Beristain told him not to worry about payment.Ever since that first meeting, Beristain has been delivering free soup to Dionesotes’s house as often as four times per week for the last year.“I really feel it when other people are in pain,” Beristain said. “I felt that I could help him at least by delivering the soup that he likes, with the nutrition that is going to help him.”Though Dionesotes’s fr iends are now trying to raise money for his next round of chemotherapy treatments, he says that Beristain’s kindness has been a very helpful kind of treatment for his illness.“I think he’s a great human,” said Dionesotes.4. What does the underlined word “adore” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Try.B. Love.C. Make.D. Bring.5. How did Beristain know about Dionesotes’s health problems?A. By talking with him in JC’s Cafe.B. By overhearing a neighbor talking.C. By seeing a neighbor’s online post.D. By coming across him in the hospital.6. What did Beristain do after he heard Dionesotes’s story?A.

Warm-hearted and caring.B. Risk-loving and brave.C. Strong-minded and honest.D. Hard-working and careful.CWhen Rukhsana Khan came in and sat down, I honestly thought that it was just going to be another story and wasn’t g oing to be very good. But when she started talking, telling the story called The Roses In My Carpet, I felt like I had just entered a whole new world. A world where there was only Rukhsana, me and lots of knowledge. I was learning so many new things.When the story was done, she began to talk about how she came to write the book. She talked about Pakistan and Afghanistan. I listened closely. It was so surprising. As she was talking, I closed my eyes and tried to imagine what it would be like to live in a refugee (难民) camp. I put myself in the little girl’s place. In my mind, I was going to get firewood for my family. I was walking home with the firewood, when a bomb (炸弹) dropped, right over my head. At that time, I had to open my eyes. I was too frightened (害怕的). The little girl would have been frightened, too. It would be terrible to only have bread, water, and tea for food. I think that a life without electricity would be terrible. No electricity meant cold winters, hot summers, no TV, no computers, no lights and no fridges. It would be so bad. Besides, I am a book lover. In the refugee camp, they don’t even have books. It is hard to imagine. We have so many libraries filled with books. We are so lucky. We live in strong, brick houses. We have whole refrigerators full of food. We have tons of games.I think the speech was very moving. I loved it. From now on, I will make sure that I appreciate (感激) what I have, a lot more than before.8. How did the author feel before Rukhsana Khan began her story?A. She was a bit nervous about it.B. She had low expectations of it.C. She showed great interest in it.D. She thought it would be informative.9. What is the little girl’s life like?A. Sad.B. Lonely.C. Busy.D. Quiet.10. What do we know about the author?A. She loves reading.B. She comes from a rich family.C. She spends a lot of time playing games.D. She shares some similarities with the little girl.11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce a good book.B. To ask readers to lead a simple life.C. To show her love for Rukhsana Khan.D. To show how a speech influenced her.DAfter watching the 2002 Winter Olympic Games on TV at 3 years old, Little Nathan Chen became interested in winter sports. Nathan wanted to play ice hockey (冰上曲棍球), but his mom advised him to try figure skating (花样滑冰) first which she said was safer. After practicing a few times, Nathan fell in love with it.Today, Nathan is influenced by all the athletes (运动员) he meets. From the difficulties the athletes have faced and how they dealt with them, Nathan learns to work on dealing with his own difficulties as well. He describes all the athletes he trains with as role models for himself.Nathan won gold at the 2017 ISU Grand Prix Final and 2017 Four Continents Championships, and silver at the 2016 ISU Grand Prix Final. Nathan has also broken a record, becoming the youngest man to win a medal (奖牌) at the 2017 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.However, this journey has not come without hard times. Nathan suffered a bad injury during the 2016 season and it took him quite a long time to be able to compete again. At the beginning of the 2018 Olympics, Nathan was expected to win gold but got 5th place in the end. Nathan later described the race as “just me being on the ice and enjoying myself ”, free from all the pressures. What matters the most isn’t the results, but the great memories you get from the experience and the joy of being able to do something you love.This fall, Nathan will be attending Yale University and work on managing his time as a student and athlete. Aside from figure skating, Nathan would like to learn how to box. Besides, he plans to learn biology and later become a doctor.12. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.

He felt very sad about the failure.B. He felt the need to become better.C. He couldn’t believe what had happened.D. He didn’t care too much about the results.15. What does Nathan hope to do after university?A. Do boxing.B. Play ice hockey.C. Be a doctor.D. Continue figure skating.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。
