2021 is the year of the ox(牛). In March, a set of stamps about the famous Tang Dynasty painting, Five Oxen, came out. It allows more people to know better the great art of ancient China, as well as the importance of agriculture(农业) in history.
Han Huang (723-787)was the painter of Five Oxen. He worked as a government official in the Tang Dynasty. His paintings were loved by many because the animals he painted were so alive. Unluckily, Five Oxen is probably his only painting left.

8.(2021·重庆A卷)本文是科普知识类阅读。文章通过“总——分——总”结构介绍了几种不同的燃料：汽油、电和其他液体燃料。汽油提供的动力足,但是对环境有害；电力产生的污染少,但是成本较高；液体燃料对环境友好,但是需要存储空间,而且不是所有的液体燃料都像汽油益阳效能好。环境友好型以及价格合适的燃料最适合使用。
E
Historically, most cars have run on gasoline(汽油), but that may change in the future: cars can also run on other liquid fuels(液体燃料)and electricity.
Gasoline is from oil. The energy in gasoline comes from hydrocarbons(碳氢化合物) Gasoline provides great power for cars. However, it causes environmental problems, like air pollution and temperature rise. So gasoline can't be the best fuel.
Another choice is electricity. Electricity cars can be as efficient(效能好的)as cars using gasoline, And they produce less pollution. But electric cars themselves are more expensive. Good news is that the cost has been lower and there are more and more places for the cars to get electricity ever since 2010.
The other choices are other liquid fuels. Many of these can be stored in the same places as gasoline, and used in the same cars. They can also be friendly to the environment.
One way to make such fuels is to get CO2 from the air and put it in water. Through chemical reaction, hydrocarbons can be created. However, these fuels take up more space.
Another way is to make such fuels from plants which take in carbon from the air. These fuels are greener in use. But not all of them can be as efficient as gasoline.
For a fuel to be the best, people have to be able to afford it. Unluckily, almost every green technology is more expensive than that of using gasoline. Governments and car producers are doing everything they car to cut down the costs. In the end, the best fuel will be both affordable for car users and green for our planet.
(A)56. Gasoline provides cars with _______.
A. great power B. fresh air C. clean water D. enough space
(C)57. According to Paragraph3, we can infer that electric cars _______.
A, produce less pollution
B. will become more and more expensive
C. will become more popular
D. are more efficient than those using gasoline
(B)58. The structure of the passage may be______.










(C)59. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. How Do We Protect Our Planet? B. What Are the Fuels' Differences?
C. What Is the Best Fuel for Cars? D. How Do We Make Fuels for Cars?

19.(2021·陕西)本文介绍了水资源对我们的重要性,以及它现在所面临的问题,呼吁人们要珍惜水资源。
B
Look at the Earth from space. Why does our planet look so blue? It’s blue because water covers almost three quarters of the Earth’s surface. Water is not just an important part of our planet. It is an important part of our body, too. More than half of our total body weight is water.
Our body loses water whenever we exercise or go to the toilet. That’s why we need to drink plenty of water every day. We drink water. We use it to cook, clean, and carry waste out of our homes. Farmers use it to grow vegetables and crops like rice and corn; factories use it to make products.
Since the 1950s, the amount(数量)of water people use has increased by three times. But the water supply(供应)hasn’t. Scientists worry that soon there won’t be enough water for us, as well as for the animals and plants that share our world. What can we do to help? Use water wisely.
Having enough water isn’t our only problem. We also need it clean.
Right now, ships and factories are putting wastes into seas, rivers and so on. Even chemicals that farmers use are running into rivers and lakes. All this pollution can make the water dangerous to drink. It can also harm fish and other water-living lives.
We must do something to stop pollution. It’s the best way to protect our world’s most valuable natural resource(资源).
(B)24. How many important areas of water are mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
(C)25. The underlined sentence “We also need it clean” in Paragraph 4 means” ________.”
A. We also need water to wash things B. We also need water that looks clean
C. We also need to keep water clean D. We also need to discover clean water
(A)26. This passage was written to ________
A. ask people to value water B. advise people to drink more water

20.(2021·陕西)本文是《Number the Stars》的作者Lois Lowry对于这本书的感悟。
C
INTRODUCTION
It’s hard to believe that I wrote Number the Stars more than twenty years ago. It seems like yesterday that I answered the phone on a snowy January morning and received the news that it had won the 1990 Newbery Medal(美国纽伯瑞儿童文学奖).
I think readers of every age may match themselves with the important persons in the books they love and ask themselves: Would I have done that? What choice would I have made?
And ten-the age of Annemarie in Number the Stars—is an age when young people are beginning to develop a strong set of personal ethics(道德观;价值观). ...They are beginning to realize that the world they live in is not always good and safe.
So they follow a story about a ten-year-old girl who is caught in a dangerous situation, and she must make decisions. Young readers become cheerful when Annemarie takes a deep breath, enters the woods, faces the danger, stands up to the enemy and wins her victory.
Today, the book has been published in many countries and translated into many languages. It found its way into the hands and hearts of children who had read about but never experienced war. . . . Books do change lives, I know; and many readers have told me that Number the Stars changed theirs when they were young, that it made them think about both cruelty(残酷;残忍) and courage. “It was something that shaped my idea of how people should be treated, ” wrote a young woman recently, telling me about her own fourth-grade experience with the book.
The Danish friend who first told me the story of her childhood, and who became the Annemarie in my book, is an old woman now. So am I. We both love thinking of the children reading the story today, coming to it for the first time and realizing that once, for a short time and in a small place, a group of prejudice-free(不存偏见的)people created a touching story of love and kindness towards others.

(B)
When looking at a pair of old chopsticks, most people would see nothing but waste. But Felix Bock would see boxes, tables, shelves and so on.
In 2016, Felix Bock, a doctoral student at the University of British Columbia, Canada, found out people threw away about 100,000 pairs of chopsticks every day in Vancouver alone. He felt the need to do something. So he started the company ChopValue in the same year. The company collected used chopsticks from restaurants, schools and shopping centers in Canada and the US and turned them into furniture and other artworks. Now in its fifth year, with the rapid growth of the company, Bock employs 40 people, and using his special methods of steam and press machines, he has recycled 32 million pairs of chopsticks.
Bock takes pride in his work. And he hopes the idea behind ChopValue will help people rethink what they see as waste. “I believe every small action can help,” he said. “And I am happy that my business provides a new way for people.” Hundreds of restaurants across North America pay a small sum of money to Bock for the recycling of their used chopsticks.

B
British adventurer(冒险家) Alastair Humphreys had ridden his bike around the world, walked cross India, and rowed (划船)from Africa to South America. In 2011, however, Humphreys had some of the biggest adventurers of his life and he never even left the United Kingdom.
For a year, Humphreys went on microadventures—small, low-cost trips close to home. Why did he do this? “I started to think that it was possible to have an adventure anywhere.” He explains. For his first trip, he went hiking with a friend around the M25-a 188-kilometre road that goes all the way around London. Other adventures included swimming in the River Thames, sleeping outside on a hill, and going on a mountain biking trip. Humphreys learned something important from his microadventures: We find adventures when we try something new.
Humphreys wanted other people to make this discovery, too, so he decided to share his idea. He challenged people to go on microadventures and send him four-minute videos of their trips. He asked them to do things like climb a hill, go away for a weekend, or choose a random (任意的)place on a map and go there. People from all over the world accepted his challenge and posted their videos on Twitter.

25.(2021·江西)本文是一篇说明文,介绍人类世界中“狗的生活”的三个例子,向我们展示狗和人之间的良好关系。
C
Today, by carefully choosing dog parents, humans have created many different kinds of dog. Each kind has its own look and talents and its own role within human society. Here are three examples of “a dog’s life” in the human world.
Today, many hospitals let specially trained dogs in to bring love and cheer to patients. Shaynee is a therapy(治疗)dog. She visits children who are in hospital. Dogs like Shaynee help patients feel calm and at peace which can be hard in a busy hospital. They help both children and adults stay strong during long hospital stays, and, some suggest, even help them get better.
Today some beagles(小猎犬)work in airports for the government. They are part of the program called the Beagle Brigade. A beagle is good for the work because of its powerful nose, and ability to follow smells. The Beagle Brigade’s job is to smell everything that comes into the country. They make officers notice illegal(非法的)fruits, vegetables, and other foods in luggage or in mail. The beagles do the job far better than any human could.
While some dogs are working hard, others are free to spend their days resting and playing. Across the world, many pet dogs are treated like children. Many have their own rooms and all the things a dog could want. Some even have their own clothes. Many of these pets spend their days playing, learning to follow or even going to classes. Their owners give them the best, and enjoy doing so.
Whether as workers or objects of affection(钟情)dogs have become helpful to humans in many ways. There are plenty of advantages for the dog, too. Many kinds of wild dogs have nearly disappeared from the Earth. However, the domestic dog’s special place as “man’s best friend” has allowed it to survive (存活)in a human world.
(B)66. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. Hospitals need many special dogs. B. Dogs can take care of patients.
C. Patients need love in the hospital. D. Doctors are too busy to see patients.
(A)67. What does the underlined word “domestic” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Trained. B. Smart. C. Hungry. D. Valuable.
(D)68. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To ask people to treat dogs as their own children.
B. To explain why humans need beagles in their work.
C. To tell people about the history of dogs’ development.
D. To show a good relationship between dogs and humans.
(C)69. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

26.(2021·江西)本文是一篇说明文,向我们介绍一个神奇的时钟。
D
Eight hundred years ago, a man in southern Turkey invented an amazing clock. It was more than 7 meters high. At its base(基座)was a life-size model elephant. Every half hour, something amazing happened. The whole clock came alive: Model birds, dragons, and people started to move.
The clock’s inventor was an engineer named al-Jazari. He lived in Turkey. Al-Jazari was probably one of the greatest engineers in history. Some historians call him “the father of modern-day engineering.”
We know about al-Jazari mostly from a book that he wrote. ________ They include clocks and hand-washing machines. The book also has drawings that show how each machine works.
Many everyday things today-from toys to car engines(发动机)-still use al-Jazari’s ideas. Without his machines with moving parts, we might not have modern-day robots.
Today, it is still possible to see what al-Jazari’s elephant cock looked like. A full-size working model is in Dubai’s Ibn Battuta Mall. There, every half hour, al-Jazari’s most amazing invention comes to life once again.
How Does the Elephant Clock Work?







A bowl with a small hole floats(浮)in a water tank(水箱)inside the elephant’s body. As the bowl slowly sinks(下沉), it pulls a rope that moves a human figure. His moving pen shows the number of minutes past the hour.
Every half hour, the water bowl becomes full and sinks completely. This causes a ball to fall from the top of the clock. The movement of the ball causes a phoenix to move and make a sound.
The ball then drops out of a falcon’s mouth into the mouth of a Chinese dragon. The weight of the ball causes the dragon’s head to move down and the dragon’s tail pulls the water bowl back up.
Finally, the ball drops out of the dragon’s mouth and into a vase. As the ball lands in the vase, the elephant driver moves and makes a sound. The cycle begins again until there are no more ball in the top of the clock.
(A)70. Why is al-Jazari called “the father of modern-day engineering”?
A. His ideas are still widely used in machines.
B. The elephant clock is an amazing invention.
C. His inventions include some parts of modern robots.
D. His book about machines is still popular with readers.

27.(2021·江西)本文是一篇说明文,过去科学家认为身体相似性是由基因决定的,而他们之间的性格、智力和其他差异则受他们所处环境的影响。但是现在,科学家们发现基因和环境之间的界限并不那么清晰。介绍了基因对人格和智力的影响。
E




Many scientists once believed that physical similarities between identical twins are genetic(基因的), while their personalities, intelligence and other differences between them are an effect of their environment. Now scientists are discovering that the boundaries(界限)between genes and environment are not so clear.
Twins Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted(领养)as babies and raised by different couples. When the Jims finally met at age 39, they discovered they had plenty in common. Both were six feet tall, 180 pounds. They had the same smile and the same voice. When scientist Thomas Bouchard Jr. invited the Jim twins to his lab, people there found it very hard to tell them apart.
But the similarities didn’t stop at the physical. They’d both had dogs named Toy. They had both married women named Linda and then their marriage broke up. They’d both been policemen, enjoyed music, and left love notes around the house for their wives. They had so much in common, it seemed unlikely these were just coincidences (巧合).
The Jim twins were just one of 137 sets of separated twins. Bouchard tested. When they compared the twins’ IQ scores, Bouchard and his team reached a surprising conclusion(结论). They concluded that intelligence was mostly connected to genes rather than to training or education. It seemed the differences in family and environment had little effect.
However, genes can’t control everything, argues geneticist Danielle Reed, who also studies twins. Reed’s research shows that though nothing can truly change our DNA, environmental differences that a child experiences before birth and in their first year can sometimes affect the way the DNA behaves, making even identical twins into very different people. “What I like to say is that Mother Nature writes some things in pencil and some things in pen,” She explains. “Things written in pen you can’t change. That’s DNA. But things written in pencil you can.”
(C)74. How many physical similarities between the Jim twins are mentioned?
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
(D)75. What did Bouchard’s study find about the twins?
A. Each seemed to be as tall as their twin. B. Each had the same hobby as their twin.
C. Each had almost the same ability as their twin. D. Each had about the same IQ level as their twin.
(B)76. What is Reed’s opinion about genes and environment?
A. Only DNA has an effect on our development.
B. Environment could possibly change some things about us.
C. There are no boundaries between genes and environment.
D. Environmental differences can sometimes change our DNA.
(D)77. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The way the DNA behaves.
B. The similarities between the Jim twins.
C. The connection between intelligence and families.
D. The effects of genes on personality and intelligence.

30.(2021·福建)本文就机器人技术的发展方向及机器人能否和人类一起工作、人类是否应该信任机器人等问题发表了不同的观点。
C
In recent years, there have been many films about robots trying to take over the world. Studies show that up to 20 million factory jobs worldwide could be taken by robots in the next 10 years. Some people are worried about what might happen in the future.
On 8" September, 2020, The Guardian published(发表)an article written by a robot called GPT-3. It wrote that "robot" comes from the Greek word for "slave"(奴隶)and humans have nothing to fear from robots, which are only here to help humans. However, the fact that a robot could write such an article has made some people feel even more uneasy. Where is the robot technology heading? Can robots and humans work together?
YES — they're here to help humans
Robots are created by humans for humans. Robots take on jobs that are too dangerous for people to do by themselves. Although robots might take some people's jobs, they will create new types of work, and they will possibly create more jobs than they take away. Besides, robots' programming could actually make them more trustworthy than humans, because they are not influenced by feelings.









NO — humans should not trust robots
Robots are already taking over the world. Jobs that used to be done by human beings are now being taken by robots. Although robots are under our control now, that might not always be the case. An experiment in Switzerland found that some robots had learnt how to lie to each other. With the development of AI(人工智能), robots could start to act in their own interests. Wherever possible, humans should do things themselves.








What's your opinion on this matter?

31.(2021·福建)本文介绍了自我意识是什么,它的重要性以及如何学会自我意识。
D
If you have to describe yourself to someone else, what will you say? It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside, but knowing who you are, namely self-awareness, can help you understand feelings and make friendships closer
Self-awareness means having a good understanding of our own character, that is, having the ability to see ourselves clearly. If you're self-aware, you may know that you love playing an instrument because you do well in it, and music makes you happy, or that you prefer watching TV on your own because it helps you relax.
Knowing what you like and dislike, what you do well in and what you find difficult allows you to make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and so on. You learn to trust your own feelings more, which builds confidence(信心). The World Health Organization says self-awareness is one of ten important life skills that help young people live happier, healthier lives. Being self-aware doesn't mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you will better understand other people too.
How do you learn to be self-aware? It's a good way to ask questions. But ask yourself questions that start with "What" instead of "Why". So if you don't understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you're arguing.
Learning to be more self-aware is a skill, which means you learn it as you grow. So be bold and try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different kinds of music. Don't be afraid to dislike something— discovering what you find difficult is a key part of learning more about yourself.
(A)61. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. What self-awareness is. B. What true happiness is.
C. How to find true happiness. D. How to develop self-awareness.
(D)62. Knowing yourself is important because
A. it'll make you think more of yourself
B. it'll make you perform better at school
C. it'll help you learn how to ask proper questions
D. it’ll help you have a better understanding of others
(C)63. What does the underlined word "bold" in the last paragraph probably mean in Chinese?
A. 努力的 B. 自豪的 C. 大胆的 D. 耐心的
(B)64. What's one of the keys to becoming more self-aware?
A. Being in high spirits.
B. Discovering your weak points.
C. Having a taste for pleasant music.
D. Learning to get along well with others.
(A)65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

C. It is important and necessary for you to make a right decision.

33.(2021·河南)本文主要是一位老人用自己的亲身经历告诉孩子们不要用石头去打鸟，因为石头会弹回来，永远弹在你的心里。我们从文章中学到不要伤害别人，否则你会伤害自己的。
B
“Oh, boys, don’t throw stones at the poor bird,” said an old grey-headed man.
“Sir,” said a little one,＂she makes such a loud noise that we can’t bear her.”
“I am afraid the stone will rebound (反弹) and hurt you as long as you live!”
“Rebound! We don’t understand you, sir!”
“Well, I will tell you a true story.
“Fifty years ago, I liked throwing stones because I had no other boy to play with and I became very skillful. One day I went to work for an old couple who were very friendly to everybody, even to the birds. And the birds seemed to love the old couple, too. For seven years a bird had come and built her nest (鸟巢) in the same place. She and her mate had just returned on the day I went to work and the old couple welcomed them happily. During the day, I thought I would try my skill upon her. Suddenly the bird flew to a tree near me. I found a nice stone, and I threw it with my best skill. It hit the bird on the head and she dropped dead！
“I was sorry the moment I saw her fall off the tree. But it was too late. All day long her mate flew about, and chirped (发啁啾声) so sadly that he made my heart ache.. I said nothing to the old couple but one of their grandchildren told them about it. Though the old couple never said a word to me, I knew that they were very sad. I could never look them in the eye and tell them how sorry I was. They have been dead for many, many years, and so has the poor bird. But don’t you see how that stone rebounded, and hit me? For fifty years I have still remembered it though I have never spoken of it before. But if what I have told you will stop you, I will be happy.”
The boys at once dropped the stones in their hands and the bird had no more trouble from them.
(B)26. Why did the boy throw stones at the bird according to what the little boy said?

34.(2021·河南)这篇文章讲了植物如何传播种子。每一个生物都需要繁殖。繁殖意味着创造更多的成员。为了让植物繁殖，它们必须把种子传播到其他地区。植物已经发展出了各种各样的方法来实现这一点。
C
Every living thing needs to reproduce. Reproducing means creating more members of your group. In order for plants to reproduce, they have to spread their seeds (种子) to other areas. Plants have developed all kinds of ways to do this.
The simplest way is gravity. Many seeds are inside of fruit. When a piece of fruit gets too heavy, it falls from a tree to the ground. Sometimes animals will pick up the fruit and drop it in another area. That helps move the seed even farther away. Apples spread this way.
Other plants use wind to spread their seeds. Dandelions are a good example of this. Dandelion seeds are so light that when wind blows, it carries dandelion seeds to new places. Maple (枫树) seeds also use wind. Their seeds are connected with long, thin leaves that look like wings. When the seed falls from the tree, its “wings” help it fly farther from the tree.
Some animals help plants spread their seeds. The animals eat the seeds. While the seed is in the animal’s body, it stays whole. when the seed leaves the animal, it’s in a new place.
Ants also help spread seeds. Some seeds have a special smell that attracts ants. The ants bring the seeds back to their home, which of course is underground. They only eat part of the seed. They leave the rest of the seed underground. After that, the seed can start growing.
(D)31. What does the word “gravity” mean in the second paragraph？
A. The action that makes animals drop seeds.
B. The help that moves seeds even farther away.
C. The need that comes from animals and plants.
D. The force that causes fruit to fall to the ground.
(B)32. How do maples spread their seeds?
A. They use ants. B. They use wind.
C. They use smells. D. They use animals.
(C)33. What do ants do to help spread seeds?
a. They only eat part of the seed.
b. They help seeds fall from the tree.
c. They carry seeds to the underground home.
d. They pick up the fruit and move it far away.
e. They leave the rest of the seed underground.
A. b, d, e B. a, b, d C. a, c, e D. b, c, d

36. (2021·北京)本文讲述了作者帮助一个不爱讲话的女孩Shelley 变得更加开朗的故事。作者惊叹于Shelley 的改变，因为作者认为自己所做的就是让Shelley 知自己并不孤单。
When I was in the eighth grade, my class was assigned(指派) to be friends with the second-grade kids. I got this little girl named Shelley. The first time I saw her, she was silent and cold. She was small for her age, and she didn’t play with the other kids in her class.
I tried all kinds of things to get her to talk to me. I bought her toys, crayons and candies, But try as I might, nothing worked. One tine, I gave her a coloring book and said, “Shelley, now you can color in it any time.”
Shelley looked at the coloring book and then looked up at me, and finally looked away. By that, I didn't know how I was going to get through to the little girl, but I knew I wouldn’t give up on her.
One Friday, I decided to tell her a story about my childhood. I told her that l felt lonely when I was with my classmates, and how I thought only my teachers liked me. I also told her that every day was a battle(战役) for me and I fought back tears so people wouldn't know how much I was hurting.
She sat there just listening, trying to decide whether I was lying or not Finally, when my story ended, there were tears in her eyes. And then she did the unthinkable. She said, “Thank you.” From then on, Shelley was a different little girl. She started smiling and talking with other kids.
Looking back at this I’m in awe(惊叹), because all I did was to help her realize that she wasn't alone. I didn't ask her to tell her story, because her story is my story.

School Gardens Could Help Children Try More Vegetables
It's not always enjoyable for children to eat vegetables. But what if a garden is built in the school? New research suggests that a gardening program in schools can increase children's vegetable intake(摄入量) .
How the Study Was Carried Out

The study was carried out in eight schools, Each school was in the gardening program for one school year. Every child in grades 3-5 received a total of eighteen 60-minute lessons across the school year. In the program, each school built a garden, where children learned to grow their own fresh produce, like fruit and vegetables.
The Benefits Children Could Get
The study found that vegetable intake if the children who grew their own produce increased greatly across the year. Related studies show that increased vegetable intake can improve health and cut the risk of chronic diseases(慢性疾病). Not only are there benefits to health, increasing the variety of vegetables children are exposed(接触)to may also make mealtimes much easier.” Children who are often exposed to a variety of vegetables are more likely to try new foods,” explains Dr. Kerry Jones. For children, growing their own food is a powerful tool to increase their intake of the food.
___28___
Any opportunity to expose children to more vegetables is meaningful. “If children are learning about vegetables at school, it’s important to encourage this interest,” says Jones. Parents can listen to their children about what they have learned and read the handouts they bring home from school. Parents and children can also read books together. Younger children can enjoy reading stories about vegetables with parents who offer useful message. Older children may enjoy searching through cookbooks with parents to find new dinner ideas to cook vegetables in a tasty way. Besides, a small planter box in a sunny part at home can encourage children to understand more about where their food comes from.
Teaching children to grow their own produce is a great way to increase their preference for the produce. If children are taught to enjoy vegetables early in life, they will probably continue eating vegetables in the long term.
(B)27. What did children do in the gardening program?
A. They did research on new plants.
B. They grew fresh produce at school.
C. They took home green vegetables
D. They built gardens for their classes.
(B)28. Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragaph4?
A. Ideas to Encourage Children to Cook at Home
B. Ways to Expose Children to Vegetables at Home
C. Reasons Why Parents Should Understand Children
D. Suggestions Which Children Could Get from Parents
(D)29. What can we learn from the program?
A. Parent’ support might improve children’s reading.
B. School programs could develop students’ creativity.
C. Doing studies can prepare students for future learning.
D. Hands-on experience may influence children’s preference.

38. (2021·北京)本文是一篇议论文。自然和文化常常被视为对立的观点，但人类发展的研究表明，二者都是人类物种发展的一部分，生物的发展和文化的发展是紧密相连的，文化的传播似乎与我们血液中的东西直接相关。
Nature and culture are often seen as opposite ideas. What belongs to nature cannot be the result of human activities and. on the other hand, cultural development is achieved against nature. However, this is not the only opinion on the relationship between nature and culture. Studies in the development of humans suggest that culture, whether taken as an effort against nature or a natural effort, is part of the development of the human species(物种).
Several modern writers saw the process of education as a struggle(斗争) against human nature. We are born with wild natures. such as eating and behaving in a disorganized way or acting selfishly. Education uses culture as a way to get us out of our widest natures；it is thanks to culture that the human species could learn to adapt(适应) , progress and raise itself above and beyond other species.
Over the past century and a half, however, studies in the history of human development have shown that the formation of culture is part of the biological adaptation. Consider, for example, hunting(打猎) . It seems to be an adaptation, which allowed humans to move into new and different areas, opening up the opportunity to change living habits. At the same time, the development of weapons(武器) is related to that adaptation—from rocks and stones to a set of hunting tools, and from hunting tools to rules relating to the proper use of weapons. Hunting also seems to be responsible for a whole set of bodily abilities, such as balancing on one foot. Just think of how this very simple thing is closely related to dance, a key expression of human culture. It is then clear that biological development and cultural development are closely tied.

The transmission of culture seems to be directly related to what’s in our blood. Just as snails carry their shell, so do we bring along our culture. However, culture is also passed on among people of the same times or among people belonging to different populations. We can learn how to make jiaozi even if we were born from Russian parents in Paris just as we can learn how to speak English even if none of our family or friends speaks that language.
(D)30. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Culture belongs to human nature.
B. Nature teaches humans how to adapt.
C. Humans are supposed to be well organized.
D. Education pushes the human species to progress.
(C)31. Why does the writer talk about hunting in Paragraph 3?
A. To suggest some possible ways of changing living habits.
B. To stress the importance of tools in humans’ struggle for life.
C. To show how culture develops as humans adapt to the environment.
D. To explain why there is a need to call for the proper use of weapons.
(B)32. The word “transmission” in Paragraph 4 probably means “____________”.
A. system B. spread C. start D. spirit
(C)33. What is the writer’s opinion on the nature-culture relationship?
A. Culture and nature are separate yet balanced.
B. Culture depends much on nature to progress.
C. Nature and culture are different but connected.
D. Nature follows the unwritten rules set by culture.

39.(2021•杭州)这篇短文主要讲了Ryan去年夏天和家人一起去海边度假的小故事。(R8 U1可以参考)
My name is Ryan and last summer my family and I went to an island for our summer vacation. There were so many fun and interesting things to do on the island, but my favorite was fishing.

It might be a turtle(海龟)swimming under the boat, "said Dad, Derek and I looked around the boat, but we couldn't see anything. Then we heard a different noise, which sounded like an animal. "Look, Dad, there it is!" shouted Derek. It was a sea turtle and it couldn't swim well. "Let's go closer and see what’s wrong with it, "Dad said.
When we got closer, we saw that there was a piece of plastic(塑料)around the turtle's legs. "Let's help it, "I said. So Dad jumped into the water, swam to the turtle and brought it back to the boat. "There you go, little turtle; now you can swim to your family, "Dad said as he cut the plastic off. Then Derek and I put it back in the water. "I know! We should make a sign about not throwing rubbish into the sea, and put it in the sand on the beach, "I said. "I'll help, too, "said Derek. "Great idea, boys.

40.(2021•杭州)本文主要是在介绍自己最喜欢的T恤衫，并解释为什么喜欢这些T恤衫。

Have you ever thought how important T-shirts are in your life? I don't mean expensive designer T-shirts, After all, just because you spend a lot of money on a shirt doesn't mean that it looks good. I'm talking about the T-shirts that say something about you, like where you've been, what you like, or what you think. Those are often the T-shirts that we feel the most comfortable in and that we wear again and again. I'm going to tell you about two T-shirts that I really, really love and explain why.
I’ve been to London twice. The first time I went I saw this shirt in a souvenir(纪念品)shop and my dad bought it for me. I really loved the design and the colors. And it reminds me of something funny that happened. One day we were travelling around the center of London. We almost got lost, but we found our way — thanks to the picture on this T-shirt!
Sometimes I've bought clothes that I've never worn or that I've only worn once or twice. But I've worn(and washed o)this T-shirt hundreds of times. I love music and I love Adele. I haven't seen many of my favorite artists live, but I bought this when I went to Adele's concert two years ago. It was a great concert and this is a great souvenir. And white T- shirts go with anything, not just jeans!
So, those are just two of my favorite T-shirts that tell a story. What about yours?
posted 16th April at 16:57 post a comment
I've never been to China and I don't know any Chinese, but one of my favorite T-shirts has the Chinese characters on it.

41.(2021•杭州)本文主要介绍了来自世界各地的舞蹈。
Flamenco is very popular in southern Spain. It begins with guitar music and clapping(击掌)and then dancers join the performance. Sometimes a woman dances alone and sometimes she dances with a man. The woman always wears a long, colorful dress. She moves her arms and hands slowly but her feet move in fast difficult steps. The man often wears black. Both dancers click their shoes on the floor when they dance around each other.
Cossack dances are from Russia and Ukraine. They are very energetic — some are more like gymnastics than dancing! Dancers have to be very fit because they jump very high and kick their legs up and down. They often jump over swords(剑), The movements are similar to traditional Cossack activities, for example, sword fighting and getting on and off horses.
Limbo dancing is first from West Africa but today it is an important part of celebrations in the Caribbean. Young people have to dance under a pole(杆). The pole is often on fire and the dancer mustn't touch it! After a successful "limbo", they put the pole lower and do it again. Some dancers can dance under a pole just twenty centimeters off the ground!
Mask(面具)dances are important for the Dogon people in Mali. Each village makes different masks. They are often huge and colorful. There are masks of people, monsters or local animals like crocodiles and monkeys. Mask dancers are always men and they dance to the sound of drums for hours after the death of a person in the village. Today, Dogon villagers also perform the dances for tourists.

42.(2021•杭州)本文主要讲述了孩子在什么时候开始学习语言，孩子在学习语言时父母的作用。
When do children start to talk? If you ask a group of parents when this happened, most will say" around twelve months of age". They will probably even remember what the children said. Many parents keep a diary of their child's "first words"
We can never predict what a first word is going to be. Often it's the name for" mummy " or "daddy", but it could just as easily be the word for an animal or a favorite toy. Everything depends on what has most caught the child's attention. But one thing is certain: after the first word, others come quickly. By 18 months, most children have learned about 50 words. By two, the total has risen to around 200.
Early words are actually one-word sentences. One of the first features(特征)of language a child learns well is to control the rise and fall of the voice to make the difference between stating and questioning. In English, daddy with a high rising tone(声调)means "is that daddy?" Daddy with a high falling tone means "There's daddy". Of course, only very basic meanings can be communicated using tones alone. So it soon becomes necessary to learn some grammar.
In English, grammar means learning to put words in different orders. Children have to see that mummy push is different from push mummy. They start practising such changes at around 18 months. By two, they have learned the basic patterns of word order, and we hear them saying such things as man kick ball and where daddy go.
What are the parents doing all his time? They're acting as teachers and they always have an active role to play in their child's language learning.
(C)27. How old are most children when they have learned about 50 words?
A. About 6 months old. B. About one year old.
C. About 18 months old. D. About two years]old.
(A)28. Which might an English child say first when learning to talk?
A. mummy B. push mummy C. man kick ball D. where daddy go
(A)29. What's Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Word order. B. Word tones. C. The first words. D. Correcting words.
(B)30. Who is most responsible for a child's early language learning?
A. Teachers. B. Parents. C. Friends. D. Grandparents.

44.(2021•湖州)文章介绍了秦始皇时期制造兵马俑最原始的颜色。
The first emperor of China，Qin Shihuang，completed a huge number of projects during his rule.Between 221 and 210 B.C.，he started the building of the Great Wall.The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life﹣sized terracotta soldiers(士兵).These，he hoped，would protect his tomb after his death.
Lost in Time
The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown，but they weren't always.They began as an army of red，blue，yellow，green，white，and purple.Sadly，most of the colors did not last to the present day.After being exposed(暴露)to air during digging，the coating under the paint began to fall off.The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg，taking away with it important pieces of history.
New Technology
Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colors.Archeologists(考古学家)have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers.Many of these still have their painted features，including black hair，pink faces，and black or brown eyes.Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid(液体)to help save the soldiers' colors.After finding a soldier or another art piece，archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.
Back to Life
Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers.It's important not to do anything with the dirt，so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the dirt as an art piece， "says Rong Bo，the museum's leading archeologist.The next challenge，says Rong Bo，is to find a way to use the colors onto the army﹣again.Once that happens，artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to its full，bright colors.
(C)1.What is the passage mainly about？ 　 　
A.The death of Emperor Qin Shihuang.
B.How the terracotta army was colored.
C.The true colors of the terracotta soldiers.
D.How the soldiers lived during Qin Dynasty.
(A)2.What does the underlined word "They" in the passage refer to？ 　 　
A. Archeologists.
B.Artists.
C.Researchers.
D.Soldier.
(B)3.Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree？ 　 　
A.The soldiers should stay in their present，brown color.
B.People should try to bring back the army's bright colors.
C.Archeologists can only guess at the soldiers' true colors.
D.Artists should be able to paint the soldiers in colors they want.

45.(2021•湖州)这篇文章讲的是背包旅行。作者和许多国家的人在一起，发现了一些关于他们的有趣的事情文化。
Why is it that the people you meet when backpacking(背包旅行)seem to be more interesting and outgoing than your friends at home？That's my experience，anyway.Very often，you'll meet people that are fun to travel with and worth getting to know.I've spent time with people of many countries and have found out some interesting things about their cultures.It's a great way to learn more about the world.
It's often easy to make new friends while you're traveling，and you'll be able to hang around with them for a few days，until one of you leaves for the next exciting place.Relationships of this kind are shorter but can be just as strong as friendships back home，because you do so much together in that short time.I often find I like to share things about myself that I'd never say to my close friends.It is safe，I think，because we probably won't meet again，except online.
One thing that's important when you're backpacking is to make sure you carry only basic needs，so your backpack isn't too heavy.I travel" "light" these days.One good tip someone gave me is to take old clothes and just throw them away when you move on，instead of washing and waiting for things to dry.Many hostels(小旅社)don't provide shampoo and shower gel.You can get mini bottles in supermarkets.
I've discovered that many backpackers visit little places other tourists don't go to，and by using local shops and guest houses，they help those places with much﹣needed financial(经济上的)support.Most small guest houses allow you to stay for unlimited time，so you can spend as long as you like exploring the local area.Backpackers are also kinder to the environment，because they use trains and buses rather than cars.So，what are you waiting for？ (By Andy Robinson)
(D)1.According to Andy，friendships made with other backpackers　 　.
A.are less serious than those with his friends at home
B.end at the moment they separate from each other
C.help him to decide where he would like to travel to
D.allow him to talk about himself in an honest way
(C)2.Which text message would Andy send to a friend？
A
"Why don't you fly out to visit me？We'll stay in a famous hotel on the coast. "
B
"I'm leaving here tomorrow and then I will drive a car along the coast. "
C
"I've met some great people.Tomorrow we're going by boat to an ancient village in the mountains together. "
D
"I'm glad I filled up my backpack –I've got everything I need，though it isn't easy to carry it around!"
(B)3.The best title for the passage can be　 　.
A.Friendships on the Way
B.Traveling with a Backpack
C.A Backpacking Experience
D.Tips on Travel

46.(2021•湖州)本文主要讲了Yuki去拜访外祖母，并且在花园里的谈话。
Masa walked slowly towards the house，stopping now and then to cut off dead leaves or fading flowers.There were few weeds(杂草).Yuki had spent many hours of her two﹣week visit weeding in the garden.Masa wondered if Yuki had spent so much of her time outside because she wanted to avoid talking to her.
But Yuki must have wanted very much to see us，Masa told herself.She had visited in the last weeks of June，as soon as her college was out for the summer.
She said she wanted to stay longer but couldn't because she had to work.Besides，she needed to use the studio at her college for photography and she had to go to the library to read，"Why do you have to go to college to study art？"Masa asked her. "All the great artists didn't go to college. "
Yuki shook her head. "That was a different time.It's hard to explain. "
"I was thinking you could live with us all year round and still be an artist.This is a nice quiet place to live. "
"I don't know.How would I support myself here？" "You can always give lessons. "Masa said.
"But I don't want to spend a long time looking at kids' drawings. "
"What will you do after you graduate，anyway？Will you become a teacher somewhere else then？"
"Grandma，I don't know. "Yuki sighed.
"What is the use of going to college if you don't know what you're going there for？" "Maybe I'm going because I don't know.I just want to study art now.I don't want to think that far ahead. "
The minute Masa was going to point out that this was too careless a way to live，Yuki suddenly stood up and put on her straw hat.
"I'm going to the garden to weed your flowerbed"，she said， "Let me know if there's something else I can do."
On Yuki's visit，Masa felt strained when they talked，and she was sure Yuki also felt it.But Yuki was never rude or irritable(易怒的).Even when they disagreed，her face was always full of patience.


(C)1.According to the passage，Yuki was　 　.

48.(2021•绍兴)本文主要介绍了《寻子遇仙记》这部反映了卓别林自己的生活的电影。
It's been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin produced the film The Kid, which many consider to be his greatest one.
Like all films at the time, The Kid was made in black and white and was silent(made without any sound, not even the characters talking). The story is about the relationship between" the Tramp", played by Chaplin, and his adopted(领养的)child, played by Jackie Coogan. The pair develop a partnership where the six-year-old boy breaks windows and runs away, so that Chaplin's character can offer his services as a window fixer.
Although the film is a comedy, it also has some tragedy, reflecting Chaplin's own life. He started testing actors for the role of the Kid just a few days after his baby son had died. Chaplin was known for being hard to please, and it is said that if he could, he would have played every role in every one of his films. When Chaplin visited a theatre, a dancer brought his son, Jackie Coogan, on stage, and Chaplin knew he had his co-star(联袂主演者). Chaplin later wrote, "All children in some form have talents; the trick is to bring it out in them. With Jackie it was easy. "
Like the Kid in the film, Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor. They lived in London and were raised by their mother, When Chaplin was 10 years old, his mum became too ill to look after her sons, so they had to take care of themselves. He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based(基于)on the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children. "Perhaps that's why the film had some truth, "he said.
(D)1. The second paragraph mainly talks about ___________.
A. why The Kid was made B. when The Kid was on
C. how The Kid got successful D. what The Kid is about
(B)2. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that Jackie Coogan ___________
A. always visited the theatre alone B. was possibly talented in acting
C. knew much about Chaplin before D. played every role in Chaplin's films
(A)3. Which of the following is TRUE about Chaplin?
A. He had a poor childhood experience. B. He was brought up by his father.
C. He looked after his mother very well. D. He produced films with his brother.
(D)4. What's the best title for the passage?
A. A film about a dancer B. A family in London

49.(2021•绍兴)文章讲了来自俄罗斯的博士生德米特里·多罗宁热衷于在网上与140万追随者分享他在浙江农村的经历。
Dmitry Doronin, a doctoral student from Russia, is keen(热衷的)to share his experience in rural villages in Zhejiang with his 1. 4 million followers online.
Since Dmitry started to live in the countryside last August, the 32-year-old has created hundreds of video clips that record the relaxing lifestyle in Hengzhang village, Lishui city. "The rice is grown in the fields together with fish, which helps to increase local agricultural(农业的)products, "said Dmitry, while introducing products from Hengzhang village on the popular Chinese short-video platform Douyin. Besides filming videos, Dmitry also enjoys working with farmers in the fields, doing activities such as planting vegetables and feeding chickens.
Living in a village provides him with unique experiences, he says, quite different from busy life in big cities, such as Shanghai, where he studies. And he has been a pleasant surprise to the villagers as well. Villager Bao Mingyue, 76, says, "To our surprise, the young Russian not only knows how to cook Chinese food but is interested in working in the fields. "
Because of the outbreak of COVID-19, the sales of local agricultural products had dropped rapidly, so Dmitry volunteered to help sell the products in his videos. In a few months, 10, 000 kilograms of oranges, 4, 000 kilograms of dried sweet potatoes and 300 kilograms of honey had been sold.
"Thanks to his videos, it seems that more tourists have come to visit our village, "says 72-year-old Pan Xianyu, who is very pleased to see the great changes in her hometown. Dmitry loves his country life. "In the countryside, you can immerse(沉浸)yourself in the traditional way of life and understand this country better, "he says.
According to Dmitry, some Russians' opinions about China are still out of date, although China has progressed greatly. "I would like to become a people-to-people envoy(使者)of friendship between the two countries by using the Internet, "he says.
(C)1. It can be learnt from the passage that Dmitry _____________.
A. has lived in the countryside for years
B. is good at catching fishes

D. sells farmers' products in Russia
(B)2．The underlined word "unique" probably means "______"

50.(2021•绍兴)本文主要介绍了现如今对于普通人来说访问太空已经不是一个遥远的梦想，以Space Perspective公司推出的一项计划为例说明太空旅行可能很快成为现实，但游客如何到达那里仍然是一个非常开放的问题。

Visiting outer space is still a far dream for anyone who isn't an astronaut, but a day trip to the stars is already open for people to order!



A new company(公司), Space Perspective, is planning tests with passengers. It has big plans to run up to 500 flights from different places across the USA by 2024. If successful, reaching the outer side of space could be as easy as flying abroad in a few years' time. The plan will be for spacemen and up to eight passengers to travel in Neptune, a capsule(太空舱)tied to a balloon the size of a football field.
They will move slowly upwards right to the side of space, 30 km away from the Earth. There, space tourists will be able to look back at the Earth and out to dark space and the sight of millions of stars. Although the price is yet to be fixed, the expensive flight, which will take six hours, is likely to cost over ￡100, 000. Because the capsule remains within the Earth's atmosphere(大气层), no special clothing or training are needed. It means that older people or those with health problems will be included.
One problem may be the method of landing back on the Earth. The balloon moves back down from space until it falls down in the sea. Passengers, spacemen, capsule and balloon are then gotten back by ship.
Now Neptune faces competition from the Stratollite, a balloon being developed by a company called World View Enterprises, while the super-rich Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are all pouring money into developing business space flying machines. The advantage of the balloon is that it will be cheaper than a space plane or rocket.
Space travel may soon be a reality(现实), but how visitors get there is still a very open question.
(B)1. We can see from the passage that Space Perspective ___________.
A. has completed over 500 tests B. wants to use Neptune to carry people
C. has quite a long history D. makes it easier for us to fly abroad
(C)2. According to Space Perspective's plan, space tourists _____________.
A. should wear special clothing B. will land back on the ground
C. can watch the Earth from space D. must keep in good health
(A)3. The writer implies(暗示)in the passage that____________.
A. the race to get tourists into space is becoming hot
B. there will be only four ways for visitors to reach space
C. the Stratollite is popular with space passengers
D. Richard, Jeff and Elon are all short of money
(D)4. The passage can usually be read in the part of ___________in a newspaper
A. Culture B. Business C. Health D. Science

51.(2021•宁波)这是一篇关于《齐格弗里德和汉娜历险记》的书评。

Book review by Jarrad
On the weekend I read a totally amazing book called The Adventures(历险记)of Siegfried and Hannah. It was such a cool book because it was full of magical journeys to many mysterious lands. You never knew where the characters were going to end up next.
The main characters are a boy called Siegfried and his little sister Hannah. They are always ready for a mysterious adventure every time they step out their door. The book contains twelve separate stories.
I won't spoil it for you, but what I loved the most was that the main characters were just like real kids. They were the sort of kids that I'd want to be friends with.
I would really recommend(推荐)that you read this book, especially if you like fairies, dragons, magic, adventures and surprises. It is the best book that I have read all year. There was nothing I did not like about this book, except that it should have been longer!

52.(2021•宁波)本文主要介绍了有关热带雨林的情况。
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest(热带雨林)?Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent, but there are more kinds of tees than any other area in the whole world.
Tropical rainforests are in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, Australia, and on the Pacific islands. The largest tropical rainforest is the Amazon (亚马逊)Rainforest in South America, which covers 1. 2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometres. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is the "lungs of our planet" because it produces 20%of the world's oxygen (氧气). One fifth of the world's fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species of animals, plants and insects live in the Earth's rainforests. 80% of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. 25%of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer.
There are four different levels of trees in a rainforest. The forest floor is the lowest layer full of animal life and receives the least amount of light. The under storey is the dark, cool environment under the leaves but over the ground. The canopy layer is the upper parts of most of the trees. The emergent layer contains a small number of very tall trees.
These different parts of a rainforest exist together to create an ecosystem for many animals, plants and human beings.
(C)1. This passage is mainly about ___________.
A. kinds of forest B. where rainforests are
C. facts about rainforests D. how much oxygen rainforests make

Jason and his father were going to the grocery store by car to pick up some apples. It had been an unusual day. The sky was dark but there were few clouds. As they drove up the street, there started to be a rumbling (隆隆的) sound heard across the ground.
Jason's father immediately realized that a tornado (龙卷风) was coming. He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately. Jason and his father got out of the car and made their way to the closest building. By this time the wind was blowing harder, and it was hard to see or hear. Debris was falling all over the place.

54.(2021•宁波)本文主要介绍了购物狂艾莉森疯狂购物的故事。
Have you ever bought something and then changed your mind? For Alison Jenson, 15, this used to happen several times a week. Alison was a shopaholic. She just couldn't stop shopping and she loved special offers.
Alison's bedroom is full of stuff. "I've been to every shop in Birmingham, I think, "says Alison. She picks up some earrings. The labels are still on them. "These were half price, "she says. "I've never worn them. "Alison's problem wasn't just jewellery. She also bought a lot of clothes, though not many shoes, because they were usually too expensive. She has also bought lots of other small things — like 20 new covers for her phone. She hasn't used any of them.
According to experts, we all feel excited after we buy something new. For shopaholics, it's a little different. Soon after they buy something, they think they've made a mistake and start to feel unhappy. So they buy themselves something else to feel happier.
Psychologists (心理学家)first described the problems of shopaholics in 1915. However, there was very little research on the subject until recently. Now, doctors think thousands of people suffer from the problem, and the situation is getting worse. There are also more teenage shopaholics now, although most young people don't have enough money to go shopping very regularly.
Alison knew she had a problem. "I often bought something every day. Usually it was something small, but I just needed to buy it, "she says. "I spent money that I got for my birthday, and when I was short of cash, I borrowed money from friends or my parents. When I couldn't go shopping, I felt anxious. Then one day, my parents just looked at all the stuff in my room and said, This is crazy! 'I knew they were right. "I needed some big changes in my life.
Alison now gets help with her problem and feels she has changed. She no longer thinks she's a shopaholic. "When I want to buy something in a shop, I ask myself two questions, "she says. "Do I need it? Can I afford it? The answer to both questions is usually 'no', so I walk away. It's great!"
(B)1. What do experts say about shopaholics?

A. psychologists B. doctors C. Alison's parents D. Alison's friends
(A)3. Which word can best describe Alison's feeling at the end of the passage? A
A. Glad. B. Worried. C. Embarrassed. D. Moved.
(D)4. The best title for the passage above might be ____________.
A. Shop Till You Drop! B. Shopping Makes Me Happy!

55.(2021•丽水)文章讲了世界充满了不同的空间，我们可以用三种不同的方式来思考空间：公共空间、私人空间和私人空间。

Think of space! What comes to mind? No, I'm not talking about planets or aliens. I'm talking about the space we live in! The world is full of different spaces. We can think about spaces in three different ways public spaces.
private spaces and personal spaces.

PUBLIC SPACE
Public spaces are social spaces for everyone to get together. They belong to everyone. But wait! Before you camp in your local park or throw a party at a library, remember that there are rules. The rules are set to keep these spaces clean and safe.

PERSONALSPACE
This is the space where we sit and stand. Everyone feels different about their about personal spaces. People may feel uncomfortable or angry when someone they don’t know gets too close.
We should respect(尊重)all spaces. We should respect public spaces. We can't leave a mess or take anything that doesn't belong to us. It's important to leave no trace(痕迹)in public spaces. We should respect private spaces by asking for permission before entering. And we should respect personal spaces by finding out how much space a friend or classmate needs to feel comfortable. Respecting all spaces helps make us better people. It also helps keep our community safe and fun,

56.(2021•丽水)文章讲了志愿服务是在社区中发挥作用的一个很好的方式，而且你做一些有助于人们或改善你周围环境的事情会得到很好的回报。(R8下 U2)




Is there something in your community that could be changed? Is there a person in your neighborhood who could offer help? If you're hoping for someone to make a difference, that someone could be you!
Volunteering your time is a great way to make a difference in your community. And you’ll feel good about doing something that helps people or improves the places around you.
This past summer, my friends and I noticed how messy our neighborhood park was. We wanted it to be different. We worked without parents and teachers to clean up the park. We had a great time making the park even better than before, and now the whole neighborhood is able to share and enjoy it again.
Maybe cleaning up a park isn't your choice, though. No problem! You can turn anything that matters to you into a volunteer project. Do you like playing chess, reading, or spending time with your pet? You can volunteer to do what you love to do.

57.(2021•丽水)文章主要讲述了科学研究发现善良可以激活大脑中的纹状体区域。研究还表明，善良能改善人们的情绪。并阐述了其发生的原因。
Everybody enjoys acts of kindness. But can you explain why? Some people think kindness is something out of love and care, while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular, But research shows that being kind can activate(激活)an area of the brain called Striatum.

Being kind can make someone smite, If you see yourself smile in a situation, people around may be smiling, too. This is special true for your close friends and family. A kind act mkes someone what is sad feel better. It can also make ourselves feel good. So why not set off that chain(链条)of good feelings to people around?
Secondly, being kind starts or develops a social connection with others. Kid acts like buying someone a present make friendships to stronger. Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself. Similarly, charities(慈善) also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.
In another recent research, even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy. If one person is kind, he or she makes others in the group kind. It also lifts everyone’s sprites. Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month. Then you’re getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.
The story doesn’t end here. Being kind may improve your mood, but research has also shown that if you’re in a good mood, you can act much more kindly. This makes it a wonderful two-way relationship. doesn't it?

60.(2021•温州)短文讲了秘鲁首都利马，详细地介绍了它的位置、历史、文化和气候等。
Lima，the capital of Peru，is located in the central coastal part of the country，overlooking the Pacific Ocean.With a population of more than 9 million，Lima is one of the largest cities and the only capital in South America that faces the ocean.
Lima has a long history.The lost Inca civilization ，is thought to be a mystery.There are many museums，where you can learn：how the ancient American Indians founded the Inca Empire and built Machu Picchu，a famous ancient city in the Andes Mountains；what happened in 1532 and why over 90% of Peruvians speak Spanish.Visiting the historic center，a World Heritage Site you may find you are communicating with both the past and the present.
Lima is also a place where you can find the lifestyles and fashions，created by its people and culture.You will see Peruvian clothes，dances，and taste their delicious foods and drinks.You can see buildings in different styles，enjoy the fantastic sunset over the ancient ruins，climb the mountains，fly over the ocean，or sit in the restaurants and bars to experience Peruvians' relaxing life.
You may have heard "It never rains in Lima. " In fact，the special geographic feature makes it not as dry as it is said to be and it is warm all year round.Though it seldom rains in summer，it sometimes drizzles on early winter mornings.The drizzle and the wet air "water" the ground，which makes the crops and the plants grow.Moreover，modern technology helps to bring water from the snow and ice on the top of the Andes (over 6，000 m high)for the city to use.People there never waste water.
Lima is such an amazing city that it is worth a visit.
(D)1.According to the passage，where is Lima on the map？

61.(2021•温州)本文主要介绍了疫苗是帮助身体免受病毒侵害最好的方法之一。
Most viruses can be found and killed by our immune system as soon as they enter our bodies.However，some viruses，for example，the coronavirus，are sneaky.They are difficult to recognize and find.These viruses can cause deadly diseases，like COVID﹣19.Human﹣to﹣human transmission can easily occur，and pandemic will therefore break out.Vaccination is by now a simple，safe and effective way to protect us from the diseases.
▲Vaccines are something that "looks" exactly the same as the viruses，mainly made from the viruses that are weakened or killed.They will not make us really ill.They only stimulate and activate our immune system to work，telling it something harmful is coming in.The immune system will know what the "viruses" look like，and send B cells(lymphocytes)or antibodies to find and kill them.Meanwhile，B cells will remember them for the next kill.A vaccine may also give us passive immunity by providing B cells taken from an animal or a human to play the same role.
Scientists have developed more than 180 vaccines to fight against COVID49.The technical approaches of these vaccines can be a little different，but their aims are the same.
Take the inactivated vaccine as an example.In an inactivated vaccine，the coronaviruses are already killed or made into the ones unable to produce more new viruses.When the immune system "sees" them，it will try to kill them.The question is：without enough these viruses• how can B cells remember them？That's why we need to take the vaccine more than one time.Though this vaccine is safe，it might not be as effective as it is expected to be.
The live﹣attenuated vaccine is different.In this vaccine，the viruses are weakened，but they are alive.They can produce enough new viruses to train the immune system to kill and remember them，so people only need to take the vaccine once.The live﹣attenuated vaccine is considered the most effective，but there is a worry：what might happen once these viruses wake up？
Therefore，although vaccination is by now one of the best ways to protect us from COVID﹣19，it can be better.
(C)1.The coronavirus can 　 　.
A.not be killed
B.not be found
C.cause deaths
D.stop pandemic
(C)2.Which of the following can be the best topic sentence of Paragraph 2？
A.Vaccination can provide us with B cells.
B.Vaccines are made from different viruses.
C.Vaccination can prepare us against viruses.
D.Vaccines won't make us ill as the viruses do.
(D)3.Compared to the inactivated vaccine，the live﹣attenuated vaccine 　 　.
A.needs taking more than once
B.is equally safe
C.contains viruses that are killed
D.is more effective
(B)4.What can we learn from the passage？
A.Vaccination is good enough to treat COVID﹣19.
B.The immune system can be more effective with vaccines.
C.The viruses in inactivated vaccines can make new viruses.
D.180 vaccines have been developed to fight against diseases.

I'm in trouble.
Last week, we had a football match, and we lost. We played well, but one teammate didn't do his best, I think. It was like he wasn't even on the court! Disappointed by his behaviour, I said all this to my best friend. But he told everyone else what I'd said. I'm really angry with my friend— what should I say to him? And should I say anything at all to my teammate?

Reply
There is an old American saying, "Loose lips sink ships. "This means that if you speak too much about something, especially to people who you don't know so well, it'll cause all kinds of trouble. Maybe now you're in this situation. Forget all these unhappy things.

Perhaps most importantly, think about your own behaviour. When filled with anger, you would say whatever comes to your mind. You might hurt others. Take a deep breath, calm down, and always remember: think first, speak later.

In my view(观点), you should do what your parents ask. They're much older than you and you should respect them. It's their house you live in and their money you spend!

Here's what you need to do. First, apologise to your teammate. Have a chat with him, and tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking. Then tell your friend you're angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse, but you hope your friendship will move on.

63.(2021•衢州)本文主要讲述了电子游戏的好处和坏处。
Do video games do harm to our children? Today, many children spend a lot of their free time playing games on the Internet. In the UK, 99% of kids aged 8 to 15 play video games every week. This information tells us that the benefits and dangers of video games must be carefully considered.
For many people, video games are fun. They have bright lights, funny cartoons and exciting stories. Everywhere you look, you can see children playing these games. They play on buses and trains, in restaurants and even at school.
Video games are educational too. They make kids think in a creative way and they have to move their hands and eyes quickly. This can improve the way that a child's brain works. What's more, video games make children use their imagination. The player has to do many creative things, like drawing, telling stories and building things. Video games are also a good way to teach children about technology because they can learn how computers and other devices work while they play.
However, a recent study suggests that video games can also be bad for children. First, children can download many games for free. This means that parents often don't know if their children are playing violent or scary games. Second, many children spend too much time playing games on computers and this can lead to health problems. Third, if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework, they can have problems at school and get bad grades. Finally, video games can affect children's social skills. If children spend too much time playing video games by themselves, they might not learn how to play with their friends.
In conclusion, it seems clear that video games have some advantages and some disadvantages. It is up to parents to know what games their children are playing and how much time they spend on them. Parents should also make sure their children get enough exercise and spend time with other children.
(A)34. The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 3 refers to___________.
A. kids B. computers C. video games D. playmates
(C)35. Which disadvantages of video games are mentioned in the passage?
a. result in bad grades b. make kids feel bored c. lead to health problems
d. affect children's social skills c. cause problems between parents and kids
A. c, d, e B. b, d, e C. a, c, d D. a, b, c

B
Mary was in bed, feeling sleepy. She read the first few words of her book, “The dodo(渡渡鸟) was a bird that couldn’t fly ...”, and soon she fell fast asleep.
Whoosh! The window flew wide open. Mary sat up, and through the window she saw a dodo, an unusual dodo, right there in her yard!
“I lived over four hundred years ago,” the dodo said. “But then terrible things happened. People cut down the forests, so we had nothing to eat. We all died.” The dodo felt sad.
Suddenly, a mammoth(猛犸) rushed in. It said, “I’ve been looking for you, Dodo! I lived thousands of years ago, but not now.” It added, “Scientists think the weather changed, changing the environment where we lived. We ate grass, but as the weather grew warmer, forests spread and there was less grass to eat.”
Seconds later, an elephant bird came. It said proudly, “I’m the heaviest bird that’s ever lived. I weigh half a ton. But we lived on earth over a thousand years ago.”
The animals all looked sad. Before they had time to say another word, a tiger came in. “My friends,” said, showing its big teeth. “I hear what you are talking about. We tigers are lucky. Now there are some special places for us animals who are in danger. We are safe and no one can hurt us there.
“Sounds great!” thought Mary. “Animals should have more of this kind of places!”

67.(2021·河北)本文主要说明了梦想和成功之间的关系,告诫我们只有通过实际行动才能把梦想变为现实。
D
Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.
But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing? What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
This is the famous formula(公式) for success:
Dream > Believe > Achieve
Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula:
Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve
For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say, “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.
(B)61. What should you do when you find your lessons very hard?
A. Ask people for help. B. Try and keep trying.
C. Get ready to create wonders. D. Prepare for a harder one.
(A)62. Which does the writer add to the famous formula?
A. Act. B. Achieve. C. Connect. D. Create.
(D)63. What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean?
A. Dangers. B. Imaginations. C. Wonders. D. Difficulties.
(A)64. Why does the writer use the formula “Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve”?
A. To support his idea. B. To ask readers to explain it.
C. To show what his goals are. D. To compare it with a bridge.
(C)65 Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Doing Something Valuable B Studying Hard and Making Progress
C. Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action D. Separating Successful People from Dreams

68.(2021•衢州)本文主要讲了维尔凯斯凯洛格发明麦片的故事。
Did you have cercal(麦片)for breakfast this morning? I you did, you're not alone. Lots of people eat cercal for breakfast every day. In fact, cereal is popular all over the world. I all started with one man, Will Keith Kellogg.
Will was born on April 7, 1860, in Battle Creek, Michigan. His first job was as a stock boy at the Battle Creek Sanitarium. A sanitarium is a special kind of place that is a little like a hospital. A sanitarium is meant for people who are ill for a long time or who are getting over a serious illness. Will had other jobs as he got older. But when he grew up, he became a manager of the sanitarium. His brother, John, was the chief doctor there.
One big problem at the sanitarium was the patients' diets. The patients needed healthy diets, but it was also important for the food to taste good. Will was trying to find a good food choice to take the place of the bread, but it wasn't going very well. Then, by accident Will found something even better. He left some wheat to cook too long. When it was rolled out, it formed large, thin flakes. He asked his brother to serve it to the patients, and they loved it! In fact, they liked it so much that they wanted breakfast flakes sent to them even after they left the sanitarium. So Will started a new business in 1884: selling packaged breakfast flakes. Before long, Kellogg’s breakfast cereal was popular in other countries, too. Today, there are many kinds of breakfast cereals. But it all started with one man and one idea.
Will did more than just create breakfast flakes. His company made a lot of money. But he always shared it with others generously. He used much of his money to help children. He also used his money to help in several other charities(慈善机构). Will Kdllogg died in 1951. But his most famous invention is as popular as ever.

69.(2021•衢州)本文通过举David Littschwager的例子向读者介绍了生命无处不在。
There are about 1.5 million kinds of living things on Earth, but how many do you see every day? You often see the big colourful animals, like birds, rabbits, and fish. But look more closely. Can you see the small ones, too? Insects(昆虫)make up 80 percent of all the world's living kinds. Look on the ground. Imagine you could look under the ground, too. Many small living things with one cell live there. Life is everywhere around us, in every cubic foot (a foot= 12 inches).
David Littschwager is a photographer who wanted to find out how many living things lived in one cubic foot. So he madea12-inch cube with a green metal frame. And then he put it in five habitats(栖息地). He chose a tropical rainforest(Costa Rica), a coral reef(Pacific Ocean), the Table Mountain(South Africa), a freshwater river(USA), and a small park(New York). Three weeks were spent at each place. He watched, counted, and took photos of everything down to I millimeter in size—that crawled(爬)or flew into the cube.
The results were amazing. Liittschwager found both common and rare living things. He discovered many new living kinds, like a strange transparent octopus that is the size of a fingernail! In total, more than a thousand living things were photographed. Liittchwager said the One Cubic Foot experience was like "finding treasure". David Liittschwager also found that the highest biodiversity(生物多样性)in the reef was in the skeleton coral(珊瑚遗骨). These skeleton coral are suitable for sea living things of all sizes to grow. Although the coral reef had the widest range of biodiversity, all the other habitats were full of life. Even the city park!
(D)1. What does "one cubic foot" mean in Paragraph 2?
A. 1 inch x 1 inch B. 1 inch x 1 inch x l inch
C. 12 inches x 12 inches D. 12 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches
(A)2. What did David Liittschwager think of the One Cubic Foot experience?
A. It was valuable. B. It was different. C. It was simple. D. It was common.
(B)3. Which habitat has the most biodiversity?
A. The tropical rainforest. B. The coral reef.

It chirped the nights through all winter long I imagined the cricket was telling a story that would never end.

73.(2021•台州)本文主要介绍了如何给予人们愿意倾听的反馈。
If we want to grow as people, we can't just depend on our own evaluation(评价)of how we're doing. We also need to know what other people think about our performance. Receiving feedback(反馈)from others can help us see the larger picture and show us a way forward to success. However, someone has to give that feedback, and sometimes, that someone will be you. How should you deal with this?
First things first—if you notice a situation in which some feedback would be helpful, give it as soon as you can. If you wait until the matter disappears from the person's mind. they might not understand what you're trying to tell them. Take the person to a safe, comfortable place and offer your advice in private.
When you're giving feedback, it's important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they're doing a bad job. Make sure you give an equal(相等的)amount of good feedback to balance out(平衡)anything bad. Like the saying goes, "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
All good feedback shares something in common. First, it should help achieve a goal. It's less useful to tell your friends that their dish tastes "interesting" than it is to suggest adding a little salt. Feedback should also look toward the future. You can't change what's already happened, but you can prevent it from happening again. Tell your friends they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big history exam they failed.
Finally, don't think your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation. You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback. Don't take it personally--it can only help you give better advice next time
(B)1. What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph probably mean?
A. Seeing the picture. B. Giving feedback
C. Receiving feedback. D. Showing a way to success
(D)2. Why is it important to give feedback in time according to Paragraph 2?
A. You might forget to tell the person later on.
B. Perhaps the person wants the feedback right away.
C. Maybe the person needs time to understand your advice
D. If you wait to long, the person might forget what's happened.
(C)3. What can we infer(推断)from the underlined saying in Paragraph 3?
A. It's helpful to keep on giving bad feedback.
B. It's difficult to do a good job all the time.
C. It's better to balance good and bad feedback.
D. It's important to think twice before giving feedback.
(B)4. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. what characters good feedback includes
B. how people should give feedback properly
C. the differences between good and bad feedback
D. the importance of giving and receiving feedback

75.(2021• 金华)文章讲了与其开始"暂停"，不如尝试一种叫做"进入"的方式。作者建议父母们试着用"进入"代替"暂停"。
For as long as we can remember, one of the most popular ways parents use to punish their children has been the "time out".
It seems that it is a good idea: the child sits on his own to reflect(反思)on what he has done. Then, when the time is up, he will apologize and learn from the mistake.
However, just because it's something that's been done for years, that doesn't mean it is the right thing to do. In fact, very often, children don't sit nicely and think about what they've done. Instead, they need to be told a few (or many) times to go back to their places and stay quiet. They're not reflecting on why they are in the "time out" at all. More likely than not, they're probably just really angry, and 'so' are the parents. In the end, both the parents and the children make each other unhappy, or even angry.
What can parents do to change this situation? You may have already heard of things like peaceful parenting(育儿)and gentle parenting. These focus on the relationship between parent and child through building trust and love. So, instead of starting a "time out", try something called "time in". A "time in" needs both parent and child to stay close until both get calm. After that, the parent, and child can discuss what happened and solve the problem together. If the child can make changes, everyone can then move on.
As we all know, punishment and violence(暴力)seldom work and will never teach the. children what the right way to act is. A "time in" can be the great time for the children to learn through mistakes, Kids learn how to build their emotional and social skills through difficult situations. So, instead of punishing them for acting their age, we can use chances to teach and guide them to a place of learning.
A "time in" may take more time, but it does work.
(C)1. During a "time out", a child is told to __________.
A. stay outside B. make a promise C. sit alone and reflect D. return to school
(B)2. In the writer's opinion, a "time out" _________.
A. is becoming more popular B. doesn't always work
C. should be parents' first choice D. takes too much time
(A)3. When a child has done something wrong, the writer suggests that ____________.
A. both teachers and parents discuss how to solve the problem
B. parents try something called "time in" instead of "time out"
C. the child say sorry to his or her parents and learn from mistakes
D. the child stay at home and reflect until he never makes mistakes
(A)4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Why not "time in"? B. Learn from mistakes
C. "Time out" or "time in"? D. No violence at home!
76.(2021• 金华)本文介绍了动物对人类的作用，呼应人类要和动物保持健康的关系。
①Animal behavior(行为)is an interesting and attractive study. Scientists research the ways animals use to look for food. They study how animals protect themselves from their predators, and which animals kill other animals for food. All of this helps us understand how useful animals can be.
②Each country or culture raises some animals for food. In the United States, people mainly eat meat from cows, chickens and pigs. In other countries, people might raise sheep or buffalo for meat.

In some countries, people don't always choose some animal groups, such as dogs, for food while in other countries such animals may become people's favorite food.
③ In West Africa, animals provide humans with more than food. They have been helping people do daily work for thousands of years. Horses, oxen, and other work animals pull heavy things. Elephants; camels; and other animals carry people and things from place to place. Carrier pigeons (信鸽) have been used to send messages.
④People also receive health benefits'(利益) from animals. For example, dogs and cats can help calm people down. This is helpful for people fighting illnesses.

Takeover Day
Want to be a football coach, a policeman or a musician? If you could do any job for a day, what would it be? Takeover Day offers young people this chance.

Sally, 15, became the head teacher of her school. “I’d go mad if I were a head teacher!” she said. “So many meetings!” Sally thinks she learned a lot. “My favorite part of the day was meeting the school cook and improving the school menus for the week. It was a great chance to tell her what we really like eating!”
Paul, 17, spent the day with an important politician. He even went to a meeting at Buckingham Palace! Paul thought that if everyone had the chance to follow a politician for a day, they’d be amazed. “It isn’t a nine-to-five job. It’s 24/7,” he said “We even had no time for lunch.”
(D)1. What may Simon choose to be in the future?

79.(2021• 嘉兴)本文主要讲述了路德威克经过不断的努力发明了一种凝胶，它可以帮助没有足够干净水的人。
Ludwick Marishane, a South African, was with his friends in Limpopo when they started talking about inventing something to put on your skin(皮肤) so you don’t have to take a bath. Ludwick thought that this was a great idea. He did some research on the Internet, and he found some surprising facts.
About 2,500,000,000 people around the world haven’t got clean water. This is a huge problem because dirty water can create illnesses. One of them’ is trachoma: 8,000,000 people all over the world get trachoma every year. They wash their faces with dirty water, get ill and go blind. To stop trachoma, people don’t have to receive expensive medical care. They have to wash their faces with clean water. That’s it.
Ludwick started thinking. He wanted to make something to help people in parts of the world where it’s difficult to find clean water. He did more research on the Internet, and he did more thinking. Ludwick had a plan. He wanted to make a gel(凝胶)for people to put on their skin, so they don’t have to take a bath. When he was at university, he never stopped thinking about his invention. He started to talk to other people about it, and three years later the dream came true. He made the gel and called it “Dry Bath”.
Ludwick is the winner of lots of prizes. People call him “one of the brightest young men in the world”. He is happy about his success. Dry Bath is helping people to be healthy.

80.(2021• 嘉兴)本文主要介绍了颜色对于地球上生命的作用，分别举例人类、植物和动物对颜色的使用。
The natural world is colorful with humans, plants and animals showing different colors.
Human skin can be many different colors and it changes with the sun, our feelings or our health for example. This is because of pigments(色素), which reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors. So, when we feel excited or angry, our heart can send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red. This is why we have the expression that someone “sees red” when they are angry.
Plants also have pigments. Color is important for them to live on. The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects(昆虫), which then carry their pollen(花粉) from one flower to another. Bees can see colors we cannot, and they follow these to the inside of the flower. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.
Animals also use color for their own need. They protect themselves with different colors so as not to be seen by predators. The snowshoe hare for example, a type of wild rabbit, changes color with seasons for this reason. During summer it is a brown color, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use color as a warning to make predators stay away. Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way. Nature, however, is very clever, and predators also use colors to attract(吸引) the animals they feed on.
So, we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world. Some uses of color in nature remain unknown, but one thing is for sure, color not only makes our planet beautiful but it is also necessary for our planet to live on.
(B)1. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that ________ is/are the cause that makes human skin change color.
A. feelings B. pigments C. blood D. sunshine
(D)2. According to Paragraph 3, plants can use ________ to attract insects.
A. leaves B. fruits C. pollen D. color
(B)3. The underlined word “predators” in Paragraph 4 refers to animals which ________.
A. hide in secret places B. kill other animals for food
C. change color with the sun D. protect themselves from danger
(C)4. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To describe animals’ ways of life. B. To encourage us to study color in nature.
C. To introduce the uses of colors for life on earth. D. To explain the importance of protecting our planet.
81.(2021• 嘉兴)本文主要介绍了两者不同的学习方式，但作者认为无论哪种学习方式，只要适合自己那就是好的。
You may study differently from your friends, but your study habits are not wrong!
Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common. They love doing things together, such as going to movies and concerts, shopping, or just sitting at a small cafe. Since they take a lot of the same school subjects, they would love to study together, but they find this impossible. Their working styles are so completely different that they can’t be in the same room while they are studying!
Kelly would like to study in a clean, open space, while Maria works best with books, papers and other things around her. Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room, but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on. Kelly can sit for hours without moving, and often gets all her homework done in one sitting. Maria, however, is always getting up, and says that she thinks best when she’s on the move.
You might be asking yourself: which way of studying gets better results? Many people believe that a silent, tidy setting(环境) is the way to go, ________. Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus(聚焦) their attention, because it makes them form a “wall” in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus.
So, if you’re a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center, don’t worry about it. If you work in total silence, that’s OK; too. Judging from Kelly’s and Maria’s study habits, the best way to study is the way that works for you. In their very different ways, both of them do well in school, and both finish their work within the required time as well.
(A)1. Kelly and Maria are mentioned as an example in this passage to______.
A. discuss two different study habits B. compare the differences in their hobbies

(B)3. What can we infer from the last paragraph of this passage?
A. Students who like to study in silence will be more successful
B. Both study habits can help students make progress in their studies.
C. Only a small number of students can study well in a noisy situation.
D. Friends with different study habits can do better by studying together.
(A)4. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Are you studying the “right” way? B. How can you improve your study habits?

84.(2021•德阳)本文主要介绍了垃圾分类的必要性以及垃圾分类具体内容，并呼吁读者要积极参与垃圾分类。【考点】健康环保类阅读．生态环保类阅读
If your pencil box is broken, the batteries(电池)in your flashlights run out, or you have some leftover food, how will you deal with these things? You will probably throw them all into one rubbish bin. But actually, we need to sort(分类)all the rubbish separately. If you don’t sort your rubbish, all of it will go to a special place where it is buried(埋藏)together. As a result, it will take up some fields. Some rubbish will pollute the groundwater. Some rubbish that can be reused will be wasted.
In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on rubbish sorting.
Shanghai has called on all the people living in this city to sort their rubbish into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Wet waste is known as household waste. They are things you don’t want but pigs can eat. Paper, metal, glass, plastic and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste. Harmful waste includes thins like medicine, batteries. Finally, any waste that is not wet, recyclable or harmful will go to the “dry waste” bin.
Many other Chinese cities are also using this way to sort their rubbish. For example, Deyang has been sorting its rubbish into the same four groups since several years ago. Students in Deyang have already received waste-sorting guidebooks. They have studied these books and known how to sort the rubbish.
China is now improving its waste-sorting efforts. There is still a long way to go. But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your rubbish rightly. We should take an active part in it.
(B)43. How many bad results will there be if all the rubbish is buried together?

85.(2021•德阳)本文章主要讲述了互联网的发展使得人们越来越依赖于互联网来存储信息，感觉人们已经很少利用大脑记忆东西。因此本文就网路是否会改变我们的记忆方式以及如何改变我们的记忆方式进行了分析。【考点】科普知识类阅读．攻破科普知识类阅读
As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, do people remember less? if you know your computer will store information, why do you store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow made some experiments(实验). She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory.
In the first experiment, they asked two groups of people to put 40 unimportant facts into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would store the information. The second group understood that the computer would not store it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In the second experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in an exact in an exact computer folder(文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember where the folder is better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. However, they remember how to find it. This is called “transitive memory (交互记忆)”.
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transitive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize a lot of information so that they are able to get it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less clever, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
(B)47. Why does the writer begin the text with two questions?
A. To explain some thoughts. B. To introduce the main topic.

(D)48. What can we learn form the first experiment?
A. Sparrow put the information into the computer.
B. Both groups remember the information well.
C. Group 1 remembered the information faster.
D. Group 2 remembered the information better.
(B)49. What do we know about transitive memory from the second experiment?
A. People organize the information like a computer.
B. People remember how to find the information.
C. People remember how to make a folder.
D. People keep the information in mind.
(B)50. What’s Professor Betsy Sparrow’s conclusion(结论)?
A. People become more and more clever.

88.(2021•广安)这篇短文简要的介绍了DNA的发现历史，并介绍了这一发现对于人类生活的影响及人们对此的不同意见。
DNA is the whole “map” of the human body. It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of the DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look similar to other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes(基因)” in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are real messages. They are written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell(细胞)to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine to help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more “words” and find out more information, we will use in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive(有吸引力的), or stop sick people getting jobs.
(D)31. Who discovered why we look like other people in our family in 1860?
A. Crick. B. Watson. C. Mr. Harris. D. Mr, Mendel.
(C)32. The two scientists found ________ in 1961.

(A)33. How can we help sick people if we understand more “words” in the DNA map?
A. Make better medicine B. Stop them getting jobs
C. Tell them what to do D. Make them attractive
(B)34. According to the passage, all of the following are true except that ________.

89.(2021•达州)本文介绍了华为公司当前面临的困难及其解决困难的决心。
In 1987 a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second largest maker of smartphones. It has also become the world’s supplier (供应者) of 5G. In China and even in the world, Huawei is a wonder. Although it started producing mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies.
But recently, Huawei faces some difficulties. The US government made a law to stop its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the US government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei. They believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt this way.
“We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information,” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s president said. “The law would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems,” Ren added.
In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only £4000 at the beginning, but now it has become a 100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic as you imagine.”
Facing the law of the US, Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared with a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far Huawei has grown into the world’s largest telecommunication equipment supplier (供应商), selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.

“I spent my whole life doing one thing,” Gu Fangzhou once said. Known as “the father of sugar pills (糖丸)”, Gu passed away on January 2, 2019. Eight months later, he received a national honorary-title (荣誉称号) “the People’s Scientist” for his polio (脊髓灰质炎) research.
Gu Fangzhou, a famous medical scientist, was born in June，1926. Gu’s family faced a difficult time with the sudden death of his father. He studied hard and finally entered Peking University as a medical student in 1944. After graduation, Gu made the decision to work to help improve public health.
In 1955, polio broke out in Nantong，Jiangsu Province. It paralyzed (使瘫痪) 1,680 people, mostly children aged below seven. It spread to neighboring areas and resulted in 466 deaths. Gu was asked to lead polio research in 1957. “At that time the only way to prevent polio was to invent a vaccine (疫苗),” said Gu.
In 1959 Gu succeeded in developing the first polio live vaccine. Later, he developed the “sugar-coated pill” vaccine in the early 1960s. It not only tasted better but was more affordable and easier to keep. To test the vaccine, Gu tried the vaccine in person and later his one-month-old son was vaccinated. This inspired his team to vaccinate their kids. They became the first group of people in China to try a polio vaccine. “If we don’ t believe in what we produce, how can others believe in it?” said Gu.
Gradually, the sugar-coated polio vaccine was made available in China. It saved millions of people, especially kids, from being disabled. In 2000, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that China was already a polio-free country. “We feel satisfied. I can tell people that I tried my best, and your kids will no longer get polio,” said Gu. “That’s all we hoped for. ”

91.(2021•达州)根据教育部的数据，在2020年上半年中，中国中小学生视力问题的人数从59.2%上升到了70.6%，为了保护学生的视力，中国政府对学习用品和设备制定了新的要求，将于2022年3月1日生效。

With her eyes feeling increasingly tired and her vision blurry(视力模糊的)，l6-year-old Tian Ting went to the hospital with her parents in January. She was shocked when she found out that her eyesight dropped from 5.0 to 4.6 in only a term. “A few of my friends have had the same experience lately,” Tian said.
In fact, poor eyesight among Chinese primary and high school students rose from 59.2 percent to 70.6 percent in the first six months of 2020, according to the Ministry of Education.
To protect students’ eyesight, the Chinese government has worked out new requirements (要求) for school supplies (供应品) and equipments that will take effect (生效) on March 1, 2022. For example, according to the requirements, the size of text in students’ textbooks should be no smaller than nine-point. Teachers should also try not to use projectors (投影仪) or other multimedia equipments (多媒体设备) that are too bright, Beijing Daily reported. There are also requirements for desks and classroom lights. For example, these lights should give off (散发) as little blue light as possible.
Blue light is bad for our eyes, as it can kill the photoreceptor cells (光感器细胞) we need for vision, according to Harvard Medical School. Many of the electronic devices we use every day, like our phones and computer screens, give off blue light.
Chinese government has also taken other steps to protect students’ eyesight in China. In May 2020, the National Health Commission urged schools to make sure that students have at least two hours of outdoor activity a day.

95.(2021•自贡)本文主要介绍了"天问一号"首次拍摄的火星表面特写照片的相关情况。
Named after the "quest for heavenly truth", Tianwen 1, China's first Mars probe(探测器), has given us impressive pictures of the red planet. The first high-resolution(高分辨率的)pictures of Mars taken by Tianwen 1 were made public by the China National Space Administration(CNSA) on March 4.
"These are the first close-up pictures of Mars' surface taken by China, " said Bao Weimin, a scientist of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The pictures were taken at different distances from Mars. The two black-and-white pictures were taken by the high-resolution camera on Tianwen 1 when the probe was about 330-350 kilometers above the Martian surface. As for the color picture, it was taken by Tianwen 1's medium-resolution(中分辨率的)camera when the probe was about 5, 000 kilometers above the red planet. It shows Mars' North Pole.
The high-resolution camera can take both color and panchromatic(全色的)pictures. Panchromatic pictures, which are black and white, are the clearest, having the largest amount of data for scientific study, said Liu Tongjie. The medium-resolution camera, can only produce lesser clear pictures. Scientists put the panchromatic and color pictures together to form a clear and beautiful color picture, Liu added.
Tianwen 1, the country's first independent Mars task, was sent up on July 23, kicking off the nation's planetary exploration program. The probe entered its preset orbit above Mars on Feb 24 and is looking for a landing site on the planet's largest plain. The probe is expected to land on the red planet sometime between May and June.

Should we still wear a face mask?

99.(2021·遂宁)文章讲述专家建议早晨8点之后开始上课。
What time does your school start? Do you wish you could get up later every morning? You are not alone if your answer is “Yes.” In the US, many middle school students have the same wish.
In America, many schools start before 7:30 a.m.. But that may change soon. A new law has been passed in California. According to the law, middle schools should not start before 8:00 a.m.. The government hopes school children will have longer time in bed.
Many scientific studies show that teenagers are more active in the afternoon and in the evening. Simply telling them to go to bed earlier doesn’t work well. Most of them don’t get enough sleep because of bad sleeping habits and early school starting time. They need more sleep in the morning. Scientists suggest middle schools should start at 8:00 a.m. or later. Students can get well ready to learn and they won’t fall asleep in class. _______________________ The change can help improve students’ grades.
While scientists are happy with the new law, many parents disagree with it. They won’t be able to send their children to school before they go to work. They also fear that later school starting time will lead to later ending time. As a result, their children will have less time to take part in after-school activities.
It’s good news that Chinese education experts have noticed the problem and made some rules about that. So what’s your opinion? Do you expect China to pass a similar law?
(D)66. The schools shouldn’t start ________ according to the new law in California.
A. before 7:30 a.m. B. after 7:30 a.m.
C. after 8:00 a.m. D. before 8:00 a.m.
(B)67. Why don’t most of the teenagers get enough sleep?
A. Because their parents need them to do housework.
B. Because their sleeping habits are bad and schools start early.
C. Because they play computer games till late.
D. Because they have too much homework.
(D)68. Which sentence do you think can be filled in the blank in paragraph 3?
A. They can put on weight. B. They will like their teachers.
C. They will join more clubs. D. They will pay more attention to classes.
(C)69. What can we know from the passage?

102.(2021·南充)本文主要介绍了中国古琴的作用和发展以及用古琴演奏的音乐。
One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the guqin. one of the four arts 一 along with go, calligraphy(书 法)and painting. It first appeared over 3, 000 years ago and stands for China's solo musical instrument tradition.
At first, the guqin had only five strings(弓玄), meaning the five elements(元 素)of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Later, in Zhou Dynasty, King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son. King Wu of Zhou, added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang.
Ambience was important in playing the guqin. Usually, it was practiced in a quiet setting and never for public performance. Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains. The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes (回音)from the mountains, until the musician felt he was at one with nature. Playing it m snow was also an enjoyable activity for ancient artists, who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world. Also, a night with moonlight was considered wonderful for playing the guqin. Wang Wei (701 -761), a highly talented man of the Tang Dynasty, liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most.
Guqin pieces are usually three to eight minutes long, with the longest being Guangling lerse, which is 22 minutes long. Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements, Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute.
Nowadays, there are fewer than one thousand well-trained guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters. The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only one hundred works by today. The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产)in 2003.

63-year-old Lai Shufang has spent over 40 years making Tangchang cloth shoes. Now she is a master. She said there are 32 steps to make a pair, but the most important step is making the soles.
Layers(层)of white cloth are glued together with flour paste(糨糊). "To make good paste, we make it at a temperature of 85℃. If it's too low or too high, the paste will not work, "Lai said.

Then the cloth shoes are ready.
Lai's hard work touched her son Ai Peng. In 2015, Ai decided to leave his job and help his mother. He used Shu embroidery to make the shoes look more beautiful and opened a cloth shoe store online.

108.(2021·泸州)本文主要讲解了Boyan Slat在希腊潜水时发现了海洋中的塑料垃圾非常多，这令他对海洋污染的问题更加重视。于是他制造了一个设备清理海洋垃圾。
Boyan Slat has been dreaming of cleaning up the world's oceans for a long time.
In 2010, he went on a diving (潜水) vacation in Greece and was shocked. “I saw more plastic bags than fish in the water," he said.
From then on, Slat began to pay more attention to ocean pollution. He decided to give up higher education and set up the 0cean Cleanup, a non-government organization. Its purpose is to
clean up ocean rubbish. He has set up the world 's first ocean cleanup system (系统) with his team.
Every year, over 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans, and it can take up to 500 years to break down. In 2018 , the World Economic Forum predicted that the weight of ocean plastic would match that of all the fish in our oceans by 2050. Sea animals easily get caught in plastic. They can't move. They can even die if they eat it. Smaller plastic pieces can also enter the food chain (链) and end up in our bodies.
Slat's plan was to create an environmentally-friendly, large system to clear out plastic rubbish from the ocean.
After seven years of tests, on October 2nd, 2019, a machine called System 001/B came out. It successfully caught and collected a large amount of plastic rubbish floating in the ocean.
Slat and his team are working to improve System 001/B. Their dream is to clear out 90 percent of all the ocean plastic by 2040.

110.(2021·眉山)文章讲了文章通过大象和苍蝇的对话，说明头脑是不安分的，关注着它面前的一切。但是如果你能控制你所关注的东西，你就能控制你的思维。
An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again and the elephant waved it away once more.
This happened several times. Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can’t you just stay in one place?”
The fly answered, “I am interested in whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses, and everything that happens around me, pull me here and there and I cannot resist (抵抗) them. What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still? ”
The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not rule me. I am in control of myself — my senses do not tell me what to do. This helps me stay focused on whatever I do, and so, keep my mind calm and still. Now that I am eating, I am completely enjoying eating. In this way, I can just focus on enjoying my food.”
After hearing these words, the fly’s eyes opened wide and a smile appeared on his face. He looked at the elephant and said, “I understand! I will always be restless if I let my senses control me. On the other hand, if I try to use some self-control, my mind will become calm and I’ll be able to stay still.”
It is said that the mind is restless and pays attention to whatever is in front of it. But if you can control what you pay attention to, you can control your mind.
(C)24. The fly thought he moved around a lot because .
A. he had nowhere to land
B. he couldn’t see things clearly
C. he was interested in everything around him
D. his five senses couldn’t work with each other
(A)25. According to the elephant, what is the key to staying calm?
A. Being in control of one’s senses. B. Enjoying eating.
C. Being able to find peace. D. Focusing on many things at the same time.
(D)26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?
A. The fly can resist everything that happens around him.
B. The five senses always rule the elephant.
C. The fly will be calm if the senses control him.
D. The elephant can focus on what he is doing.
(D)27. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. Stay Still and Calm B. Focus on More Than One Thing
C. Pay Attention to Your Feelings D. Take Control of Your Mind

111.(2021·眉山)本文主要介绍了宇航员在太空的生活。
Have you ever imagined the life in space? The following will show you the astronauts’ daily
life.
● Eating in space
If you go camping for more than a week with some friends, you will make sure you have plenty of foods and keep them properly. At the end of your camping trip, you would deal with your rubbish properly before the ride home.
Astronauts almost do the same thing when they go to space. Preparation changes with the food type. Some foods can be eaten in their natural forms, such as chocolate cakes and fruits. Other foods require adding water, such as cheese. Of course, an oven is provided at the space station to heat the food. But there are no fridges, so space food must be kept properly.
● Sleeping in space
After a long day at work, nothing is better than a good night’s sleep! Just like on the earth, in space astronauts go to bed at a certain time, then get up and prepare for work again. When going to sleep, they have to attach themselves, so they don’t float (漂浮) around or hit their bodies against something. They usually use sleeping bags located in small crew cabins (乘员舱). Each crew cabin is just big enough for one person. Generally, astronauts have an eight-hour sleep each day when they finish their task.
● Doing sports in space
Exercise is an important part of every astronaut’s daily life to prevent muscle loss (肌肉萎缩). Usually, astronauts exercise two hours every day. Lifting 200 pounds on the earth may be a lot of work. But lifting that same object in space would be much easier. That means the things for exercise need to be specially designed, so astronauts can receive the exercise needed.
Living in space is not just all work and no play. Astronauts have fun, too. They like to look out the window and play with their food. Fun plays an important role in the quality of their life.
(C)28. The writer starts to explain eating in space by .
A. telling a story B. asking a question
C. giving an example D. comparing two facts
(A)29. What does the underlined word “attach” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Tie. B. Hide. C. Catch. D. Carry.
(B)30. It is much easier for people in space than on the earth.
A. to fall asleep B. to lift heavy things
C. to prevent muscle loss D. to eat cold food
(C)31. In which part of a newspaper can we read the passage?
A. CULTURE. B. SOCIETY. C. SCIENCE. D. HISTORY.

112.(2021·眉山)本文主要介绍了纸制品对环境也有害，并建议人们使用可重复使用的产品。
Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws (吸管) and bags.More and more businesses are turning to paper products as a choice.Paper is considered by many to be better than plastic. However, it, too, is harmful to the environment.
Firstly,paper bags and straws are made from trees.Trees, as you know,can reduce (减少)carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels in the atmosphere.They can slow down climate (气候) change.An increase in the use of paper bags can cause more acts of cutting down trees.
Secondly,products made from paper require more energy and water.About 10 percent more energy and four times as much water is used to produce a paper bag than a plastic one.You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water.This seems to be a good idea.However,it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process than to make a brand new paper bag.Products made from recycled paper are also often short-lived.
Thirdly, paper products are heavier than plastic ones. That means they require more oil to transport. Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags, while only one truck is needed to transport the same number of plastic bags. The increased weight also leads to a large amount of waste once the bags are thrown away.
Paper products are actually a lose-lose for both the environment and businesses.They are more expensive than plastic products.A paper straw costs about 5 to 12 cents, while a plastic one usually costs only about 2 cents.
The most environment-friendly solution is to avoid single-use products altogether. Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again.They are much better than either paper products or plastic products. Through increasing the use of these products,you can greatly reduce your throwaway waste and truly make our Earth a greener place!
(B)32. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Plastic products. B. Trees.
C. Paper products. D. Businesses.
(B)33. Compared with transporting two million plastic bags, transporting two million paper bags requires .
A. fewer trucks B. six more trucks
C. twice as many trucks D. the same number of trucks
(A)34. The writer compared the price of a paper straw and that of a plastic straw to show that .
A. paper products are not a good choice for businesses
B. it is difficult for all businesses to turn to paper products
C. most people believe paper products are better than plastic ones
D. paper products are as harmful to the environment as plastic ones
(D)35. By writing this article, the writer mainly wanted to .
① compare plastic products with paper ones
② correct people’s wrong ideas about paper products
③ suggest people use reusable products like steel straws
④ list the advantages and disadvantages of using paper products
A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①④ D. ②③

117.(2021·凉山州)本文讲述了一些动物之间的不同交流方式。
People are interested in animal communication and scientists have done lots of researches on this subject.
Most animals always use language to communicate. If cats look and blink (眯眼)at you slowly, which shows their love to you. You can also do this show you love. When they sit with tails around themselves, they’re happy. If they feel scared, their tails may look like the end of toilet brushes. When they put ears back, they are a bit mad. Birds can also show feelings through eyes and feathers. If birds make their pupils(瞳孔)large and small from time to time, this can be a sign that they are excited or scared or angry. Birds will ruffle(弄乱) their feathers when they clean themselves. However, if their feathers remain ruffled, it may mean they are ill. You’d better take them to see a veterinarian in an animal hospital.
Some animals communicate by smell. Dogs are famous for this. They can learn about something by smelling. They can find missing people by using their fantastic sense of smell. They have helped the police for a long time. Mice have an excellent sense of smell, too. Scientists even train them to find landmines(地雷).It is found that even ants use smell, they use smell to tell other ants where the food is.
Frogs and insects communicate with sounds. Usually the "gentlemen" make sounds to invite the "ladies". Whales and elephants also use sound to communicate, these sounds can travel very far through water or the ground, but it is not possible for humans to hear some of the sounds.

118.(2021·绵阳)本文讲述了杰·斯通早上起床后通过照镜子等自我审视，对他自己近乎完美的颀长健硕的上半身非常自信且满意，对遗传了来自外祖父较短小的下半身万分不满的事。
It's half past seven on Monday morning: time to get ready for school. Jay Stone rolled out of bed. He did a couple of quick wake-up exercises and then he went over to a mirror and looked at himself.
“Not bad, Stone, not bad,” he said to himself and smiled. Maybe he wasn't ready for Hollywood, but with his dark broad eyes and his thick brown hair, he had the looks that turned girls’ heads. He moved in closer to the mirror and smiled, checking his teeth.
“Perfect,” he thought, “Good enough for a toothpaste ad.”
As his eyes moved down to his strong arms and chest he smiled again. The hours he spent on the playground and doing sit-ups have paid off!
But suddenly, the smile froze(僵住)on his lips. His eyes moved from the upper part of his body down to his legs. His legs were short. Not just short, but far too short for his body. He had the upper body of a six feet boy, but because of his legs, he was much less than six feet. Sitting, he was as tall as almost anyone in his class. Standing, he had to look up at most of the boys and even many of the girls.
Why didn't his legs grow with the rest of his body? At five feet six inches(英寸), he was one of the shortest boys in his class. He was the shortest in his own family, and he was even shorter than his little sister — by three inches! Where did his legs come from?
He certainly didn't get them from his parents. They were both quite tall. Looking through old photos in the family album, he found the answer. It was his grandfather on his mother's side. His short legs were a gift from Grandpa Tuttle. Thanks a lot, Grandpa!
(C)1. How did Jay Stone feel about his upper body?
A. Disappointed. B. Interested. C. Proud. D. Uneasy.
(C)2. How tall was Jay's little sister?
A. Six feet. B. Five feet six inches.
C. Five feet nine inches. D. Five feet three inches.
(B)3. Why did Jay's smile disappear suddenly?
A. Because he disliked his arms.
B. Because he was upset that his legs were short.
C. Because he found something wrong with his face.
D. Because he thought he wasted a lot of time exercising.
(D)4. What is true according to the passage?
A. Jay's parents had short legs.
B. All the other students were taller than Jay.
C. Most boys in Jay's class looked up to him.
D. Jay was shorter than any other member in his family.
(B)5. What can we learn about Jay's grandfather?

120.(2021·绵阳)
Habits and field paths(小径)are formed in the same way: by repetition. Villagers, as a rule, do not purposefully make a foot path to the next village. They just go the shortest or easiest way over the fields. Day after day a people go and come the same way. Their feet beat the earth hard. By their repeated walking in the same direction a path is made. Similarly, the more often we do anything in the same way or at the same time, the more we shall do it that way. At last a habit is formed.
Usually it is much easier to form bad habits than good habits. The reason is simple – we are just lazy. For example, it is easier to lie in bed on a cold morning than to get up early. It is easier to put off today's duties to tomorrow than to do them at the right time.
Bad habits are not formed in a day, and it is the same with good habits. The forming of good habits needs time and calls for effort and hard work at first; but every time we do the right thing, it makes doing the same thing next time much easier. It's really hard to get up early on a cold winter morning for the first time. However, if you keep doing it every day for some time, it will become “a piece of cake” in the end. At last, we form the good habit ，which would be hard to break even if we wanted to break it.
Get into the habit of early rising, and you will not want to lie in bed like a lazybone. Get into the habit of telling the truth, and you will find it really hard to tell a lie. Get into the habit of doing today's work today, and you will feel uncomfortable if you have to put anything off till tomorrow.
(A)11. Why is foot-path making mentioned repeatedly?
A. To lead in the topic.
B. To draw a picture of country life.
C. To ask people to go back to nature.
D. To compare habits with field paths.
(B)12. What question is answered in Paragraph 2?
A. How are bad habits formed?
B. Why are good habits harder to form?
C. Why is it easier to develop bad habits?
D. How are bad habits different from good ones?
(B)13. What's the most important to form good habits?
A. Getting up early on a cold winter morning.
B. Doing the right thing and making it easier.
C. Working hard first and taking it easy gradually.
D. Getting started and keeping doing it for some time.
(D)14. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Formed good habits are here to stay.
B. It is not right for anyone to tell a lie.
C. Lazybones have no future in their lives.
D. Never put things of today off to tomorrow.
(D)15. What would be a good title for this passage?

B. How Habits Shape People's Life
C. Connections Between Habits and Paths
D. Differences Between Good and Bad Habits
121.(2021·绵阳)
A new kind of sea sponge(海绵) found in Norfolk, England, has been named by a nine-year-old girl after a competition for local schools.
The unique purple sponge, which had never been seen in other parts of the world, was first discovered by divers(潜水者) off the north Norfolk coast. Although found in 2011, it had been without a name for almost ten years. In January this year, the Marine Conservation Society (MCS)- a group of people who work to protect the UK's seas and coast - asked local schoolchildren to come up with suggestions.
Now the sponge has a name to be proud of: parpal dumplin, as suggested by nine-year-old Sylvie from Langham Village School. Sylvie said she came up with the name because “the sponge is purple and it looks like a dumpling”. Parpal dumpling is “purple dumpling” spoken in a Norfolk accent(口音). The judges all agreed that Sylvie's suggestion should be the sponge's name because “the spelling gives the sponge a strong connection to Norfolk”.
Sponges were once thought to be plants but they are actually simple sea animals. They feed on tiny things in sea water and help to keep the water clean in the process. Sponges have a very “lazy” lifestyle, with no means of moving themselves around. They are found on the seabed, rocks or even shells. They come in all kinds of different colours, shapes and sizes.
Parpal dumplin was first discovered in a place called the Cromer Shoal Chalk Beds as part of a project called Seasearch. When diver Dawn Watson showed sponge expert Claire Goodwin what she found, Goodwin was sure that it was a kind of sponge unknown to science. Watson's discovery is a special sponge, which takes the shape of whatever it covers. Parpal dumplin will now become its common name, and will be used until researchers have learned enough about it to suggest an official scientific one.
(B)16. What does the underlined word “unique” probably mean?
A. strange and ugly B. special and unusual
C. soft and beautiful D. meaningful and important
(D)17. Why was the name parpal dumplin chosen?
A. Because it sounds interesting.
B. Because Sylvie won the competition.
C. Because the sponge really looks like a purple dumpling.
D. Because its spelling is related to the place where it was found.
(A)18. What can we learn about sponges from Paragraph 4?
A. They help clean up sea water. B. They are of the same size.
C. They don't like moving around. D. They are actually sea plants.
(A)19. Which is true about parpal dumplin?
A. It has many colors. B. It was found 20 years ago.
C. It has only one shape. D. It was scientifically unknown before.
(C)20. What do we know from the last sentence?
A. Parpal dumplin is a common sponge.
B. Parpal dumplin is the sponge's official name.
C. There's still a lot to be learned about parpal dumplin.
D. Researchers suggested an official name for the sponge.

125.(2021•贵阳、安顺、六盘水)文章简要介绍了大运河。

Most people have heard of the Great Wall of China, but not many people outside of China know about the Grand Canal. This man-made waterway- known in China as Da Yunhe- is 1,700 kilometers long and some parts of it are more than 2,000 years old. It links the north of China with Hangzhou, a city in the southern part of the country. It’s the longest man-made waterway in the world.
It was built as a way to transport grain (谷物)from the rich agricultural land in China’s south to cities in the north. In fact, it’s not one canal, but a system of canals and rivers linked together. It’s still an important part of the transport system in China. Thousands of boats use it every day to transport grain and many other types of cargo.
Now the Chinese government is doing new work on the Grand Canal. It is making parts of it deeper, so bigger ships can use it. The canal will also help to move water. There is a lot of rain in the south of China, but not as much in the north. The canal will carry millions of liters of water from the south to the north.
The Grand Canal is much less famous than the Great Wall, and not very many tourists visit it. But it’s possible to go on a cruise (乘舟任游览)along some of the oldest parts of the canal. Passengers on these cruises see beautiful parts of China that other visitors don’t see.
(C)1. From the passage, we know that the Grand Canal is ________.
A. more than two thousand years old
B. more famous than the Great Wall
C. the longest man-made waterway
(A)2. What does the underlined word “links” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Connects. B. Compares. C. Competes.
(B)3. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. The Grand Canal is helping to move water
B. Why the canal was built and how it is used now.
C. The Grand Canal was used for transporting grain.
(B)4. The writer wrote this passage to ________.
A. describe how beautiful the Grand Canal is
B. introduce how important the Grand Canal is
C. explain why few people visit the Grand Canal
(A)5. This passage is probably taken from a _______ magazine.
A. history B. fashion C. science

126.(2021•贵阳、安顺、六盘水)文章介绍了从很小的时候起，人们就从故事中被教导要诚实。然而，许多人在日常生活中仍然说谎。文章介绍了人们说谎的原因。

Most children are taught the virtue (美德)of honesty from stories. The well-known story of Pinocchio teaches the importance of telling the truth. Every time Pinocchio lies, his nose grows longer and longer. Another story is about the boy who “cried wolf”. In the end, he loses all his sheep and the trust of his fellow villagers because he tells lies many times. These types of stories show children that “honesty is the best policy.” Still, if this is the case, then why do so many people lie? The fact is that people lie for many reasons.
One reason people lie is to minimize (减少)a mistake. While it is true that everyone does something wrong from time to time, some people do not have the courage to admit their errors (错误)because they are afraid they will be blamed. For example, students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. They might say that they left the work at home when, in fact, they did not do the work at all. These students do not want to get in trouble or seem irresponsible, so they make up an excuse-a lie-to save face.
Another reason for lying has to do with self-protection. Parents, particularly those with young children, may teach their children to use this type of “protective” lie in certain circumstances (状况). What should children do if a stranger calls while the parents are out? Many parents teach their children to explain that their mother and father are too busy to come to the phone at that time. In this situation, protective lying can mean greater safety.
People lie for many reasons, both good and bad. Lying to keep the peace or to stay safe can have positive results. However, lying to stay out of trouble can lead to more trouble in the end. Understanding the motives behind the impulse (冲动)to lie might minimize this habit of lying.

128.(2021•内蒙通辽)文章主要介绍5G，并且展望5G在未来的使用场景。
Whether from news reports or social media articles, you may know that 5G is coming.
5G is the 5th generation network. It is a new network after 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G. It can connect everyone and everything together. 5G networks will cover many cities in China soon. 5G means super-fast data speed. One can download a two - hour movie for fewer than 10seconds，and it is making our lives more and more convenient.
5G will make self-driving cars possible. For safety, self-driving cars need super-fast data transmission (传输)to communicate with their nearby environment. 5G is just what makes self-driving cars achieve this. Even airplanes will become “smart” in the near future. Passengers will be able to use 5G networks in the air to connect to the Internet and can order for food and drinks.
5G will be a big help for students who take online classes. Many people live in poor areas in the world where there are no schools. But with 5G, this will change. Students all over the world will be able to see places like the Great Wall without leaving their rooms.
It will be also easier for doctors to treat patients remotely by 5G. It means caring for patients from far away.
The facts listed above are only a part of what 5G will make possible and popular. Just as in the early days of the Internet in the 1990s, few could see how it could change our life and the world. The same will surely be true of 5G. With 5G, many things do not seem like dreams anymore. Now let's get ready to say goodbye to 4G and welcome the coming of 5G.
(B)1.How long may it take to download a two-hour movie with 5G?
A. 15 seconds. B. 8 seconds. C. 10 minutes. D. 2 hours.

129.(2021•内蒙通辽) 文章主要讲的是求知欲的科学研究结果。
"I have no special talent. I'm only passionately curious. " This famous quote from Albert Einstein might tell the reason for his success. When Newton discovered gravity, and when Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, their curiosity was greatly satisfied. If they hadn’t been curious, what a loss for humans!
There is a common truth that intellectual curiosity (求知欲)contributes to school performance more than intelligence. Some studies also show there are benefits of curiosity in improving the long - term level of learning and memory, and a lot of positive results are connected with curiosity.
It has been known that both animals and humans are willing to take a risk to satisfy their curiosity despite knowing that the result will remain unchanged. Despite there being different views on the reason for curiosity, most experts reach an agreement that like the way the stomach looks for food, our brain looks for knowledge. People and animals are eager to know things because getting that information means a reward.
An interesting thing is that our brain will release a pleasure-related chemical when it has been given new information , making seeking information much like eating — another pleasant activity. Researchers newly found that increasing the release of the chemical greatly increased the curiosity in animals. However, how exactly the chemical plays a role still remains a mystery.
Considering the present level of research on curiosity and the driving force of curiosity, including scientific curiosity, more research should be carried on in this field. It's safe to say that curiosity itself will help uncover curiosity. And remember even though the idiom says “Curiosity kills the cat”，it ends with satisfaction bringing it back.
(A)1.What do the examples mentioned in Paragraph 1 intend to tell us?
A. The importance of being curious.
B. The advice from successful people.
C. The reason why humans keep curious.
D. The relationship between curiosity and efforts.
(C)2.What can we learn about intellectual curiosity from Paragraph 2?
A. It often requires long-term training.
B. It helps people develop a positive lifestyle.
C. Students with it learn better than those smart ones.
D. Students born smart often have stronger intellectual curiosity.
(B)3.Which of the following ideas is generally accepted about curiosity?
A. Human curiosity comes when they want to change results.
B. It is natural and common among humans and animals.
C. It is often related to some adventurous activities.
D. Animals' curiosity appears with hunger.
(D)4.What does the author mean in the last paragraph?
A. Curiosity takes many different forms.
B. People may make mistakes because of strong curiosity.
C. Curiosity makes people dissatisfied with their present situations.
D. People should do more research on curiosity with some curiosity.
(D)5.Which of the following is TRUE about the passage?
A. It’s safe to say that curiosity itself won’t help uncover curiosity.
B. People shouldn’t have any curiosity.
C. Intellectual curiosity contributes to school performance leas than intelligence.
D. Increasing the release of the chemical greatly increased the curiosity in animals.

131.(2021•内蒙包头，呼和浩特)本文主要讲了消防员在工作之余还热心帮助大家的故事。
When a group of firefighters saw an elderly woman in a wheelchair trying very hard to et to her door last week, they decided to spend their weekend building a walkway for her.
An officer in Missouri said that their firefighters had been coming back from a call last week when they noticed an elderly woman trying to move her wheelchair across her front yard. It' s not even(平坦的).
“Many stairs and uneven pathway unfortunately led to the woman falling over in her wheelchair while trying to enter the house, the fire department wrote. Luckily, the patient was uninjured, but we saw a chance to help.”
The group of firefighters later came back to the woman's home and spent their days off building a new walkway to her front door.
“She now will have an even pathway to enter her home,” the fire department wrote. “A huge thank-you goes out to the members that spent their days off helping those in need.”
Since the fire department posted photos of the firefighters at work on their website, their post has been shared hundreds of times with social media users praising the men for their good turn.
“That’s what it's all about! Neighbors are helping neighbors. Job well done!” one user wrote, with another adding, “It was very kind of you firefighters to spend your free time helping someone in need. Thank you so much for the service that you do in saving people.”
Great to take care of those in need, a user wrote. “What a nice gesture on your days off Thank you.”
“I live in a community full of care too. You find it whenever people ask how you're doing because they care, not because they're getting paid to do so. I hope one could get encouragement when he/she meets something bad and maybe someone else will be inspired and do good things. That would be great,” a user wrote.

132. (2021.内蒙包头，呼和浩特)文章讲述的是澳大利亚一所学校决定取消传统校服，希望新的运动服能鼓励学生参加更多的活动。
School uniforms are traditional in Britain. Pupils at about 90 percent of British secondary schools wear uniforms. When every pupil in the school wears the uniform, nobody has to worry about fashion and they feel that they belong to a group. Some people believe that a school uniform can help students pay attention to schoolwork. But some schools in Britain and other countries are starting to drop the traditional uniforms.
An Australian school has decided to drop its traditional school uniform, hoping new sportswear will encourage students to take part in more activities. School headmaster Elisabeth Lenders said the uniform change had been in the works for several years. “We decided that in 2018-2019,” she said. “The importance is clear: to make young people live happy, healthy lives.”
Ms. Lenders said World Health Organization research reported 90 percent of young Australians and New Zealanders were not getting the minimum(最小的)daily levels of activity they needed in order to lead a healthy life.
As well as the new uniform, she said the school would change timetables to make sure there would be chances for students to take part in physical activity every day.
Ms. Lenders said in the past, a uniform was about all looking the same but in the 21st century it was important for students to be able to choose clothes that they liked.
And this Australian school had made an online survey about the uniform change and had received great support from parents and students. Tara, mother of Ava in Year 7, said it was a great move from the school. “These are the challenges of our time, and we want young people to think about them,” she said. “It is bigger than just throwing out the old uniform. It's about what the role of education is about. And for me it's helping young people to live a happy healthy and productive life.”
(B)1. What does the underline word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. physical activity. B. uniform change.
C. happy life. D. students' health
(A)2. According to the passage, the uniform change in this Australian school ______.
A. helps students to live a healthy life.
B. gives students a sense of belonging.
C. teaches students to dress fashionably.
D. helps students to pay attention to study.
(D)3. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Students there may wear different kinds of clothes
B. It's not clear whether the change is good for students or not
C. Parents have different opinions towards the change of uniform
D. The change receives strong support from students and parents
(C)4. Where is the text probably from?
A. A novel. B. A guidebook.
C. A newspaper. D. A book review.

In a digital age, we almost never write things by hand. However, many studies have shown that this act has many benefits(益处).
New brain research, led by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, announces the same: choosing handwriting over using a keyboard results in better learning and memory.
“When you write your shopping list or notes by hand, you simply remember things better after some time,” said Audrey van der Meer, author of the study.
The study was done using equipment to track and record brain wave activity. 12 young adults and 12 children took part in the study. Each person was asked to write by hand and type on a keyboard while wearing a hood(风帽)with over250 electrodes(电极).The sensors(传感器)in the electrodes are very sensitive and catch the electrical activity that takes lace in the brain. Each examination took 45 minutes per person.
The results show that the brain in both young adults and children is much more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of senses are activated by pressing a pen on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing. These sense experiences build connection between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning.
Van der Meer believes that the results show the importance of children’s learning to draw and write at an early age, especially at school. “Learning to write by hand is a bit slower process, but it's important for children to go through the tiring process of learning to write by hand,” she said.
The hand movements are good for us in many ways. “If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires control of your skills and senses. It important to put the brain in a learning state as often as possible,” Van der Meer added. “You might use a keyboard to write an article, but you should learn by hand during a class.”
(B)1. What advantage does choosing handwriting have over using keyboard?
A. It's more challenging. B. It's better for learning and memory.
C. It's less likely to cause tiredness D. It's more popular among students
(A)2. According to the passage, when you are writing by hand ________.
A. your brain is more active B. your senses are hard to be activated
C. you take more time to study D. your hand uses the same movement
(D)3. What do we know about the study? D
A. 12 people took part in the study.
B. The study focused on using a keyboard.
C. The study was designed only for children.
D. The study was to tell the importance of handwriting.
(A)4. What is the main idea of the text? A
A. Handwriting brings people many benefits.
B. The interest in handwriting is growing nowadays.
C. Learning environment is important for the young.
D. Learning is controlled by the ways of memorizing.

Recently,something else has happened.Some videos are telling people what products are worth buying.
But after they buy the products,they may regret soon,So they should think twice.Some short videos even sell bed products,but these sellers won't let you get your money back.

137.(2021.黔东南州)文章讲述的是水稻种植的过程。
Many people in Asia eat rice every day. It is a big part of the Asian diet. People also use rice to make rice noodles, rice milk, rice cakes, rice paper and so on. Rice grows in rice paddies. You can find rice paddies in many places. There can be thousands of rice plants in one paddy. Each plant is called a stalk(秆). Each stalk of rice has several hundred grains of rice on it. That’s a lot of rice.
When farmers grow rice, they must take good care of it. So the plants can grow well. Rice needs good soil, a lot of water and a lot of sun. Rice also needs space to grow. That is why farmers usually plant rice stalks in rows. Then each plant has enough space around. Temperature is also very important. Rice grows best in warm places.
The first step to grow rice is preparing the land. It must be level(平坦的). When the land is ready, farmers plant the rice seedlings(秧苗) and cover them with water. After the rice seedlings start to grow, farmers move the little stalks to bigger fields. Then they watch and wait. It takes about three to six months for a rice plant to become ready. Then the rice is harvested(收割) by the farmers, so people can eat the rice.
(C)1. Rice is a big part of ________ diet.

138.(2021.黔东南州)文章讲述的是呼唤自己心中的“医生”，能够保持快乐和健康。
We usually go to see a doctor when we are ill. Doctors may give us some medicine, and the medicine often makes us feel better.
But sometimes the doctor’s medicine doesn’t work. This happened to one man, Thomas Smith. He was ill in hospital, but he wasn’t getting well. Then he found a new “doctor” inside himself. He saw funny films. He read funny books. And something wonderful happened. Laughing took away his pain after half a year. He could have a good night’s rest. His own happy feeling helped him get well. He wrote his story in his book. He said laughing was very useful and it was the best “medicine”.
Another man, Simon Beck, was also ill, and he had a serious pain in his back. The doctor couldn’t stop it, so the man began to “picture” his pain. In his head, he drew a picture of a dog. He imagined it to be a real dog. And it was hurting him. Then the man talked softly to the dog. He put his hand on the dog’s head and made friends with it. One year later, his pain went away!
These stories may surprise you, but more and more people are getting well in this way. So call on the “doctor” inside your mind, and keep happy and well!

A. He fell down. B. He was ill in hospital because of his illness.
C. He was in hospital because of his sadness. D. He got well after taking medicine.

139.(2021.黔东南州)文章讲述的是如何应对校园霸凌。
Bullying(霸凌)
Bullying is a serious problem at school. It makes students feel lonely, unhappy and afraid. It makes them feel like there must be something wrong with them. It even makes some kids not want to go to school or play outside. In other words, it’s very important not to let bullying ruin(毁坏) your life!
Okay, so there you are, and someone is bullying you. What do you do “in the moment”?
●Ignore(忽略) the bully(霸凌者) Don’t even look him. Walk right past him if you can.
●Don’t cry or get angry. Even if you are feeling really hurt, don’t let it show. That’s the bully’s goal. You can talk about or write down what happens later.
●Turn and walk away, or run if you have to. Go to a place where an adult is.
●Remember that you are not the one with the problem It’s the bully who has the problem.
●If you’re being called names(咒骂) or teased(戏弄), imagine that you’re inside a huge fish tank(鱼缸) filled with white fog. Nothing touches you. Think of the worst things that a bully can say to you, and then let the fog eat them up.
●If you are being bulled again and again, there’s one “Most Important Thing” you should do: Talk to an adult. Start with your parents. If the bullying happens at school, make sure your parents discuss it with school leaders, not with the parents of the bully. Make it clear to the adult that you are really upset by what’s going on.

140.(2021.武威，天水)文章是一个学生给校长写的一封信，建议学生穿校服。
May 20, 2021
Dear Principal,
I think the students in our school should wear uniforms. Many schools already have them. Uniforms will help our families save money, since we would have to buy only one or two uniforms for the whole year. Uniforms could also give us more pride in our school. And best of all, if we all wore uniforms, kids wouldn't tease each other about their clothes.
I know some students think uniforms are ugly and uncomfortable. But maybe we can pick a uniform that everyone likes. I think this is a wonderful idea for our school.
Sincerely,
Justin Jones

142.(2021.青海)文章讲述了疫苗是对抗新冠肺炎的解决方案之一。
It's been over a year since COVID-19 first appeared and the virus continues to be a problem in many parts of the world, scientists have realized the development of vaccines (疫苗)is a solution to the pandemic. A global effort to vaccinate as many people as possible would be needed, since vaccines typically take years to develop.
On Dec 2, 2020, the first COVID vaccine, the Pfizer vaccine, was approved(批准)by UK health department. However, these vaccines must be stored at very low temperatures, which is not possible everywhere. In response, Chinese companies like Sinopharm and Sinovac have developed vaccines that can be kept at normal temperatures.
Now, vaccines are being rolled out all over the world, with millions of people being vaccinated every day. In China, 285 million vaccine doses (剂量)had been given so far. Meanwhile, the US has given out 247 million doses. The UK now stands at 50 million doses.
Although there have been rumors about vaccines being unsafe, most of people seem to realize the importance of vaccination for building mass immunity (群体免疫)in order to stop the vims from spreading. The world has come to understand that the vaccines will protect us. Therefore, sharing vaccines has become a key factor of staying safe and healthy worldwide.
Unfortunately, not everyone can get the vaccine yet. Children below the age of 16 can' t be vaccinated because they have not yet been tested on them. Those who have a history of vaccine allergies (过敏)shouldn't get it, either.
(D)1. The vaccine developed by _________ cannot be stored at normal temperatures.
A. UK health department B. Sinopharm C. Sinovac D. Pfizer
(C)2. According to the passage, ______million vaccine doses had been given so far in China.
A. 50 B. 247 C. 285 D. 582
(B)3. In paragraph 4, the underlined word "rumors" probably means __________.
A. 谎言 B. 谣言 C. 建议 D. 骗局
(A)4. The purpose for vaccinating as many people as possible is to ___________.
A. build mass immunity B. share the vaccines
C. develop vaccines quickly D. get everyone vaccinated
(C)5. In paragraph 5, the word “they” in the underlined sentence refers to ___________.
A. children B. companies C. vaccines D. experts

143.(2021.青海)文章讲述了我长大后未曾拥抱父亲，当父亲去世后，我通过儿子的拥抱感受到父亲的爱的故事。
Do you still hug your parents? How do you feel when you hug them? When do you need a hug the most?
It was a cold November morning several years ago. My alarm clock had just gone off, but I was having trouble getting out of bed. My dad had died a few weeks before. I felt weighed down by sadness and depression.
Tough and strong, my dad had worked so hard all of his life to support us. He would sometimes shout at my brothers and me, but I always knew that he loved me. Still, he had been raised (养育)in a traditional way and raised us that way too. I couldn't remember, for example, ever being hugged by him.
After my mom and grandma passed away, my dad moved into grandma's home. I was so happy to have him close by. I would often visit him and just talk with him about life. But we still seldom touched and never hugged. Finally his own health began to rapidly fail and within a few months he left us. It was a cold morning when we had his service (追悼会), but I was too cold inside myself to feel it. I couldn't remember when we' d had our last hug.
I sighed (叹气)and got out of my bed. I turned on the lights and walked into the hallway. I saw my son Jim walking down the hall to meet me. Suddenly, he opened his arms and gave me a heart-felt hug. And just as he did, I heard my dad's voice deep inside of me say, "Joey, this hug is from me! " I cried and smiled at the same time. In that moment, in the place where heart, mind, and spirit all meet, I felt loved. I felt loved by my dad. I felt loved by life.

According to UNESCO, a large number of children in villages in some African countries like Kenya and Tanzania do not go to school. They have to work to make money for their family. And more than half of people in these countries live without electricity.

Each fully-charged Solar Milk battery can charge a mobile phone three or four times, or a radio once or twice. The battery is also a flashlight, and it can provide ten hours of light "My father used to travel two to three hours to the charging shop to charge his phone, and it cost a lot, " a boy said. "But now, he can use the battery I bring from school to charge his phone at home. "

148.(2021·新疆)本文介绍了扬州剪纸的历史和发展。

Yangzhou paper cutting, with a history of 2,000 years, can be dated back to the Sui Dynasty, making Yangzhou one of the places where paper cutting first became popular.
In the Sui Dynasty, the people of Yangzhou would cut colourful paper or silk and satin (缎子) to celebrate festivals. It is said that Emperor Yang came to Yangzhou three times. In winter, the flowers and trees in the garden became dry and weak. The emperor ordered the gril servants to cut fine silk and satin into flowers and leaves and use them to decorate the trees and lakes, copying nicely the looks of spring and summer. Since then, “colorful cutting” has become a popular art in Yangzhou.
In the Tang Dynasty, the paper cutting industry was highly developed and a large amount of high-quality paper was made as presents to the Court (宫廷).
In the Qing Dynasty, because of the economic development, the people of Yangzhou became interested in wearing fine clothing, especially embroidered (刺绣的) clothing. The embroidered designs were based on paper-cuts, the most well-know of them was from Bao Jun, a paper cutting master. He won a high reputation (名声) as Magic Scissors for his wonderful cutting skills.
After the People’s Republic of China was started, the Chinese government accepted the importance of paper cutting like many other arts and skills. In 2007, China Paper-cuts Museum opened to the public in the back garden of the Wang’s Residence (住所), Yangzhou, greatly helping the development of Yangzhou paper cutting.

“The little bamboo tree had been growing underground in the past four years, developing a root strong enough for its ground growth (生长) in the fifth year. If it hadn’t done this, it would not be so strong. So you know, all the time you were struggling, you were actually growing strong roots.” the old man said.

150.(2021·云南)本文介绍了针对食物浪费现象而颁布的一项法律草案。
When you and your family go out for dinner, do you notice how many dishes you usually order? It’s OK if you finish all of them. But if you waste too much food, you need to pay for it.
Last year, China’s top legislature (立法机关) reviewed (审议) a draft law (法律草案) for stopping food waste for the first time. In general, a draft will become law after the top legislature reviews it three times.
According to the draft law, restaurants should tell customers not to order too much. If customers leave too much food uneaten, restaurants can charge (收费) them for food waste. The law also bans (禁止) waiters from encouraging people to order too much food. Some restaurants may use the “N-1” mode for people to order dishes. “N” stands for the number of persons at a table. So if there are six people at your table, you should order just five dishes, which can help people control the amount of dishes in a proper way.
The draft law also asks schools to teach their students to avoid food waste. It also bans TV programs about overeating and overdrinking. Producers of such programs will face a fine of up to 100,000 yuan.
Food waste happens in many places and has long been a big problem around the world. We need to obey the law and refuse to waste food.

A. need to pay some money for it B. need to say sorry about it

161.(2021·长沙)本文主要讲述了作者认为学习成绩不能代表一切，学习应该是一生的旅程。
From an early age, we were taught that if we wanted to be successful, we had to study hard and get good results at school. In fact, good students may just end up doing jobs they don’t like, and some even lead an unhappy life. Why is it like that?
In some parents’ eyes, school grades matter most for their kids. In reality, there are many things to consider besides the school subjects, for example, how to be a happy person, what to do to keep healthy, and how to get along well with others. That is to say, school is not just enough if you want to have a great life.
Doing well in school is different from doing well in life. Studies show that people who failed at school may not end up failing in life. You may have already known that some famous people, like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs, didn’t do very well at school or even failed to finish school. In fact, there are a lot more than just the big shots who are successful in life without finishing school. They seize(抓住) every chance to learn and finally make it to the top.
Life is really a long lesson, so long that you can’t define(界定) a person’s success by just one section(部分) of it. If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you have learned at school will never be enough to live a satisfying life. If you are still studying, whether you are good or bad at school, don’t take your school results too seriously as long as you have put your heart into it. Keep learning to make the most of your talents(天赋). That’s how you can live a happy and successful life.

(C)3. What does the underlined expression “big shots” in the third paragraph mean?
A. 好学生 B. 神枪手 C. 大人物
(B)4. According to the passage, which sentence may agree with the writer’s idea?

171.(2021·湘潭)文章讲了零浪费生活理念。零浪费生活几乎是一种不会产生垃圾的生活方式。“零浪费”最初是由一位名叫比亚约翰逊的法国妇女提出的。
A zero-waste life is a lifestyle that hardly creates any rubbish.
“Zero waste” was first suggested by a French woman called Bea Johnson. Her idea is: live a life and try not to create any rubbish; use different kinds of ways to save the environment, such as stopping the use of one-off objects; giving unwanted things to others or donating these things to organizations like the Red Cross.
A zero-waste life follows the 6R rule—Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot. Chen Yuan, 27, is deeply interested in this idea. She and her boyfriend Joe have lived in Beijing for many years. Over August-October when Chen followed the rule of zero waste 6R, she and her boyfriend both produced only two cans of rubbish. Now the couple have opened a small shop in Beijing, where they use wood products to take the place of plastic ones and cloth bags printed with environmental logos. The store also has second-hand books and CDs to make the best of the used things.
“The zero-waste lifestyle is not for ascetics(苦行僧). It is just around us.” Chen expects some of her friends to join her on the road to zero waste.
(A)1. Bea Johnson suggests that people should ________.
A. try to create no rubbish
B. throw away unwanted things
C. use the one-off objects all the time
(C)2. What does the underlined word “donating” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Giving back. B. Giving out. C. Giving away.
(A)3. We can see from the passage that Chen Yuan ________.
A. is interested in the 6R rule
B. offers plastic bags in her store
C. likes listening to CDs very much
(B)4. What Chen Yuan says in the last paragraph probably means that ________.
A. her friends like her lifestyle
B. the zero-waste lifestyle is not hard to live
C. lots of people have lived the zero-waste lifestyle
(B)5. The passage is most probably from ________.
A. an ad B. a newspaper C. a story book

172.(2021·湘潭)本文主要介绍了有关帝王蝶的相关情况。
When autumn arrives in the United States and Canada, you can see one of nature’s greatest scenes—the yearly migration(迁徙) of the monarch butterflies(帝王蝶).
No other butterfly in the world migrates like the orange and black monarch of North America. They can not live for long periods in cold weather. So each autumn around October, the butterflies travel up to 3,000 kilometers south to spend winter. Some even fly to the mountains of Mexico.
It usually takes the butterflies two months to reach Mexico. When it is warm, they start to back north in the spring. But not one butterfly finishes the whole trip. They lay eggs along the way and die. It might take the monarchs as many as four to five generations(代) to complete the journey all the way back up to Canada, says Sarina Jepsen, who directs the endangered species program for the Xerces Society.
The most amazing thing about these butterflies is that they return to the very same trees in Mexico that their great-great-grandparents used the winter before.
However, the number of these colorful butterflies has dropped in recent years. The US Fish and Wildlife Sen ice said that nearly a billion monarchs have disappeared from overwintering sites(越冬地点) since 1990, the Washington Post reported, one of the main reasons, experts say, is that farmers have used herbicides(除草剂) on the milkweed(马利筋) plants that these butterflies feed on.
……
(A)1. What color are the monarch butterflies?
A. Orange and black. B. Pink and black. C. Orange and white.
(B)2. How long does it take the monarch butterflies to reach Mexico?
A. One month. B. Two months. C. Four to five generations.
(C)3. What is the most amazing thing about the monarch butterflies?
A. They migrate to visit their friends.
B. They are protected by their family members.
C. They can return to the same trees that their ancestors lived in.
(A)4. From the passage we know that the number of the monarchs has dropped mainly because of ________.
A. less food B. bad weather C. air pollution
(C)5. What might the writer talk about next after the passage?
A. How to plant more trees.
B. How to research these butterflies.
C. What we can do to protect these butterflies.

173.(2021·湘潭)文章主要讲述了“紫禁城”这个名字的由来，以及紫色在中国文化中代表的意义。

The Forbidden City in Beijing was the emperors’ palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is also called “zijincheng (the Purple Forbidden City)”. Though its walls are red and its roofs are yellow, the palace’s name mentions the color purple. How did it get this name?
The character zi refers to the “ziwei star(Polaris,北极星)”. According to ancient Chinese astronomy (天文学), the ziwei star was surrounded by 28 other stars, meaning it was the heart of the sky. People believed that the palace of the God Emperor, which is called ziweigong, or ziwei palace, was located on this star. Chinese emperors were believed to be the sons of the God Emperor. It was believed that their palace on Earth should be just like the ziweigong in the sky. That’s how the Forbidden City got its name.
In Chinese culture, many people believe that the color purple stands for good luck. This belief began with Laozi, the ancient philosopher(哲学家) and founder of Taoism(道教) who lived around 2,500 years ago. One day, when Laozi was traveling through the Hangu Pass(函谷关) in Henan from the east, a purple mist(薄雾) suddenly appeared in the air. It is believed that this mist was connected to Laozi in some way. This “purple air from the east” story made people believe the color was a symbol of great saints from that point on.

180.(2021·邵阳)文章主要介绍了二维码在实际中的运用。罗老师让学生们做完作业，可以生成二维码，用邮件、QQ、手机微信等发给老师，老师可以随时随地查看作业，但是这也引起了家长们的一些担心。
Mrs. Luo is a teacher. She asked her students to hand in their homework through a QR code (二维码). “When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. So I can check their homework everywhere using my computer or mobile phone,” said Luo.
Most students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun,” said Tingting, a student of Luo’s.
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share,” Luo said. “It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and little time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it is unnecessary. Students still need to ▲ information in books and write it down when they do their homework, which doesn’t take them too much time. As for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time. And it is also an easy way to share homework with other students.
(C)31. How did Mrs. Luo ask her students to hand in their homework?

181.(2021·永州)本文介绍了中国高速铁路的发展历史。
China’s unbelievable high-speed rail network
At the beginning of the 21st century China had no high-speed railways. Slow, crowded and often uncomfortable trains ran across this vast country, with low average speeds making journeys such as Shanghai-Beijing a test of travel.
Today, it’s a completely different picture. With 37,900 kilometers of lines, linking all of its major big cities. China has the world’s largest work of high-speed railways. Half of that total has been completed in the last five years alone, with a further 3,700 kilometers due to open in the coming months of 2021. The network is expected to double in length again, to 70,000 kilometers, by 2035.

182.(2021·永州)本文介绍了一个名为OLPC的非营利组织，他们的口号为“每个孩子都应该有一台自己的笔记本电脑”。OLPC借由生产接近100美元的笔记型电脑，卖给对这项计划有兴趣的开发中国家，然后由该国政府免费提供给儿童使用，降低知识鸿沟。

Can a green machine help the world’s poorest kids learn better? Nicholas Negroponte thinks so. He and his team of scientists have invented a new type of computer. As a result, many children who live in poverty(贫穷) will have their own laptop computers!
Negroponte works at a university. He started a group called One Laptop Per Child (OLPC). The people at OLPC don’t work for money. They work to help children learn. OLPC makes computers that don’t cost a lot. Then they sell the machines to governments of countries that have many people live in poverty. The governments then give the computes to kids for free.
The XO Laptop computers are made for school-aged children in developing nations. Many of these children live in faraway areas and go to schools with classrooms. In order to work, the laptops have to be lasting and student-friendly.
The machines have many fun characters like a built-in video camera, voice recording, and games. The WiFi lets students share information on the Web and read e-books. They also can make music and chat with friends.
Another great character is that it can last for a long time. It can be hand charged and also can be recharged by connecting to a solar panel. Because of these characters the XO laptops make learning fun while helping the environment.
The computers have a colorful name—“the green machine”. Negroponte thinks they could make a difference in the lives of millions of kids. He says, “Every problem you can think of—poverty, peace, the environment—is solved with education.”
OLPC plans to give out over ten million computers in the next few years. Kids in Thailand, Nigeria, Brazil, and Argentina will get most of them. China and Egypt also want to take part in the program. After that, Negroponte hopes to sell computers to other countries with high poverty.
(C)1. Negroponte thinks his laptop computers will help the world’s poorest kids to _______.

183.(2021·永州)本文主要介绍了用狗来检测癌症是最新的一种手段。PSE的研究人员训练了五只狗用嗅觉来判断人是否患有癌症。

Dogs might have the latest tools in the fight against cancer (癌症)： their noses! Researchers at California’s Pine Street Foundation (PSF) say they have trained five dogs to smell cancer on a prison’s breath. This could be exciting news.
A dog’s sense of smell may be 10,000 to 100,000 times stronger than ours. But can dogs really smell illness? PSF researcher Michael McCulloch says yes. “We were very surprised by how exact they were,” he said. “They were telling who had cancer, and they were also saying who didn’t.”
McCulloch and his team asked four healthy people and one with cancer to blow into plastic tubes (塑料管). Special materials in the tubes kept the things of each breath. The tubes were then placed one yard apart. Finally the dogs were allowed to smell the tubes. Each dog had been trained for three weeks to sit when it smelled cancer. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the dog sat next to the tubes blown into by patients with lung cancer. The dogs were right 88 percent of the time about breast cancer.
No lab test for cancer has given more correct results than this test. The results are so amazing that many experts question the dogs’ smelling power. They wonder if there were other reasons why the dogs did so well. For example, they thought the way the dog trainers behaved could have influenced how the dogs acted. However, most experts agree that this study is important. The information could help scientists create a simple breath test for cancer in the future. Once again humans may be getting a helping paw or nose—from their best animal friends.
(B)1. What’s the latest tool a dog might have in the fight against cancer?
A. Tooth. B. Nose. C. Ear.
(A)2. What happened first in the Pine Street Foundation test?
A. The dogs were trained. B. The tubes were placed one yard apart.
C. The dogs smelled the tubes.
(C)3. What was a dog supposed to do when it smelled cancer?
A. Smell again. B. Turn around. C. Sit down.
(C)4. Look at the chart. How many times did the dogs keep standing when they smelled the breath from healthy persons?
A. Less than 10 times. B. Almost 600 times. C. About 700 times.
(B)5. Why do many experts question the dog’s smelling power?
A. Because no lab test for cancer has given more correct results.
B. Because the dog trainers influenced how the dogs acted.
C. Because they don’t think this study is important.

184.(2021·永州)本文主要介绍了民间艺术和精细工艺，一场展览中的展品其中渗透的环保理念以及保护环境的三种方式。
What do you do with your rubbish? Throw it out? You don’t know what you’re missing! Look closely at the two figures on your left. They were made from things most people throw away. The figures were made from used bottle caps. Those two bottle-cap figures were exhibited (展示) in a museum.
Folk art is art made by common people who have not been trained as artists. Their work is often based on traditions in their culture. Fine art, on the other hand, is usually made by people who have had training in art. Works of fine art are valued for their artistic beauty. They are supposed to be looked at but not used. Works of folk art, however, are often made for everyday use.
There were more than 800 pieces of folk art from nearly 50 countries in the exhibition. All of the pieces were made from used metal, wood, cloth, and plastic. The artists come from many different cultures. Still, they all share one thing. They take objects that are normally thrown away and change them into objects that are beautiful, useful, and fun. The artists may not think of what they do as recycling, but that’s exactly what it is. Fine artists might work with expensive materials. They might use expensive tools to shape these materials into works of art. On the other hand, in poor countries rubbish might be the only material folk artists and toy makers can afford. The exhibition shows that a rich imagination is very important when there are only poor materials. Recycled art began long before people began to think about recycling. Some of the objects in the exhibition date from the 1930s.
Even if you don’t create art out of rubbish, it’s good to save our natural resources. Remember the three rules: reduce, reuse, recycle. If you reduce waste, true things instead of throwing them out, and recycle materials such as paper, plastic, and glass, you will protect the environment.

185.(2021•贵港)文章讲述的是耳朵的构成及工作原理。
Humans have many organs(器官), but you can enjoy lots of things because of your ears. Do you know how the ears work?
The ear has three parts: the outer ear(外耳), the middle ear and the inner ear(内耳). The outer ear is the part you can see. It collects sounds around you. The sounds then travel down to the middle ear, the inner ear and then to your brain.
Your ears never stop working, even when you are asleep! In other words, your ears continue hearing sounds, but you can’t hear the sounds just because your brain ignores them.
But ears do more than hear. They help you keep balanced(平衡的), too. In the inner ear, there are organs that are filled with liquid(液体)and covered with small hairs. When you move your head, the liquid and hairs move, too. They send messages to your brain about the position of your head.
More surprisingly, ears even help to taste food. Of course, you don’t actually taste food with your ears. But there are nerves(神经)running through the middle ear that connect the tongue(舌头) to the brain. If something happens to your ears, you might have a hard time telling different tastes.
The ears are truly important organs. We should protect our ears well.
(B)26. How many parts does the ear have?
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
(D)27. What does the underlined word “ignores” mean in Chinese?

(C)28. Besides hearing, what else can ears do?
A. Help taste food and tell colors.
B. Help keep balanced and tell colors.

A. The inner ears can collect sounds around you.
B. Your ears stop working when you are asleep.
C. If something happens to your ears, you might tell different tastes easily.
D. The organs in the inner ear are filled with liquid and covered with small hairs.
(A)30. What’s the main idea of the passage?

When he got to the bathroom, he found his mother lying in the bathtub(浴缸)with blood coming from her head. She had an epileptic fit(癫痫发作)and didn't know anything. However, little Steve kept a cool head.
He first went to his 2-month-old sister and put her in a blanket(毛毯), placing her on the sofa. He then climbed up a chair to open the door. Once the door opened, Steve picked her up from the sofa and went to his neighbor's house. The neighbor, Jessica, was very surprised to see her two young neighbors standing outside her door at such a strange hour.
She first thought the little boy was coming to talk about his dog. But he said, "No, my mom died in the shower. Can you take care of us?" Jessica ran to next door in a hurry and found Katelyn in the shower with the water still running. She called 911 and help arrived just in time.

193.(2021·海南)本文向学生介绍考试之前如何做一些必要的工作来取得好成绩。
So, it's exam time again. Have you done the necessary work to get good marks? Sleeping with the textbook under the pillow(枕头)doesn't work. The best way is to space your practice out, rather than cram塞)it all together. Just as a scientist called Tom Stafford advises, if you organize five hours of study into one hour a day, you'll remember more than if you study for five hours on one day.
▲ Get pens and paper and start working! Students who can test themselves earlier will be better at retrieving the knowledge from the memory and keep it in the long run. John Dunlosky, a professor in the US, suggests that "you start by reading a textbook with your favorite pens and colors, and then write down the important ideas on small cards. While doing so, you actually try to test yourselves on them."
Good revision(复习)should give you confidence, but if you are still worried, it's not harmful to follow some special customs. In Japan, it seems to be a tradition for students to eat Katsudon before a test. This is a bowl of rice with egg and pork pieces. The name of the dish makes people think of the word "katsu", meaning "winning". For some students in South Korea, the key to success is not washing their hair before an exam, because they believe they could wash all the knowledge out of their heads. And in different parts of the world, there are always those who believe in their "lucky underwear".
The bottom line is that you need to study, eat a good meal, sleep well on the eve of the test, and believe that your efforts will pay off.
Good luck in your exam!
(C)1. When you "space your practice out", you _______________________.
A. study for at least 5 hours on one day
B. sleep with your textbook under the pillow
C. organize 5 hours of study into one hour a day
(B)2. The underlined word "retrieving" would probably mean "______________".
A. filling in B. getting back C. giving away
(B)3. Which sentence can be best put in ▲_________ in paragraph 2?
A. Don't read your textbooks early. B. Don't depend on memory alone.
C. Don't test yourselves very often.
(C)4. Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 3?
A. The word "Katsudon" sounds similar to "winning" in South Korea.
B. In some countries, washing hair brings bad luck after having exams
C. Some people might wear special underwear before important events.
(A)5. What does the writer advise students to do before tests?
A. Prepare your exams well and be confident.

195.(2021·广东)应对食物浪费的举措
According to a research more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten food go to waste in Laura’s country each year. That is about 30% of the yearly food supply (供应). It is a sad fact especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger.
When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away food that was not eaten at all every day, she came up with an idea. She started a project to help her school dining hall to give away uneaten food to homeless shelters (庇护所) in her community. In the past three years, the same project has spread to other schools and some fast food restaurants throughout the city. The project is called Feed& find, and has already fed thousands of people in her city.
How does it work? Through an app, Feed& Find matches local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide. When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left, they can use the app to share the information about the food. A truck driver working for the project is then sent to pick it up and take it to a shelter.
Pretty cool, right? It’s not surprising that people in other cities have got in touch with Laura hoping that she could have develop similar projects for their communities.
Some people, however, have concerns about the safety of the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough. Still, this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need.

197.(2021·贺州)抗疫故事
The winter of 2019 seemed longer and colder than that in any other year because of COVID-19(新冠肺炎). By Thursday, March 5th, 2020, over 30,000 medical workers have gone to Wuhan. They were fighting in a special “war”. Not only the patients but also the doctors and nurses faced the risk of life.
One of them is Dong Jie, a doctor. He did a good job during the 2003 SARS, so he went to this new war. He said he could share his experience in SARS with the doctors and give them confidence. He often showed the medical workers how to wear special clothes properly and better protect themselves. He also taught them how to treat patients.
In order to prevent the illness from spreading, all the public service must be closed. There were three special barbers with masks (口罩) in Hefei. They have helped hundreds of people cut hair since February l5th. They were busy visiting different places in the city as well as countryside and offering free service from 2 p.m. till evening every day.
Zheng Wenyu and Ye Qiangiu are students. They tried their best to call on everyone to raise money for Wuhan. Many teenagers gave away their pocket money and lucky money. They raised about 120,000 yuan after two days. They used it to buy 60 tons of vegetables from local farmers and sent them to Wuhan.

198.(2021·贺州)本文主要阐述了学生使用手机的问题和人们的观点。
Mobile phone used among school kids has become a problem for the school years, so one of the rules in our country says that school kids are not allowed to bring mobile phones to school.
It is a good rule because it is hard for school kids to resist the temptation(诱惑)of mobile phones. Mobile phone was a distraction(分心事)to students during school hours and it also brought teachers so much trouble in class before. Sometimes students might use mobile phones to cheat during exams.
However some parents feel unhappy because they can’t get in touch with their children. Many people say that they understand why these parents would want their children to have phones, but all of them think schools should let the students know when they can use their mobile phones. So in lots of schools, if a student needs to bring a phone to school, his or her parents will have to write a statement and make sure that the phone is turned off during class. If the student breaks the rule and uses his or her phone during class, the student will be warned.
This is a reasonable rule, isn’t it? Under such a rule, students still have some freedom, and they learn how to improve self-discipline(自律能力)and live with new technologies. So rules do not necessarily mean there will be no
freedom. In my opinion, freedom is based on good rules, so students should obey school rules.
( A )1. School kids in our country have been stopped from carrying mobile phones ______.
A. to school B. to hospital C. to supermarket D. to library
( C )2. What does the underlined word “statement” probably mean in Chinese in the passage?
A.请假条 B.倡议书 C.说明 D.通知
( D )3. Some parents feel unhappy because they can’t ______ during school hours.
A. use their mobile phones B. help the teachers with their work
C. leave their mobile phones in the school office D. get in touch with their children
( A )4. Which sentence is NOT true according to the passage?
A. All of the school kids can resist the temptation of mobile phones.
B. It is necessary to stop students from using mobile phones at school.
C. Students mustn’t have mobile phones at school unless their parents write a statement.
D. Freedom is based on good rules, so students should obey school rules.

199.(2021·贺州)本文主要介绍了气象卫星。
Have you ever heard of sallies(卫星)? What are they used for?
Satellites are helping to forecast(预报)the weather now. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The sallies take pictures of the atmosphere, where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change so that it can work better for people.
Nowadays, more and more countries have weather satellites. Nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive the new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with the earlier ones. Perhaps they may find the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say the weather will change soon. So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the meteorologists could only forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for about two weeks. Soon they may be able to forecast the weather for more than two weeks or more ahead.
With the development of the society, weather satellites will work better and better in people’s life.
( B )1. From the second paragraph we can know satellites travel ______.
A. in the atmosphere B. in space C. on the ground D. in the clouds
( D )2. Nowadays, meteorologists forecast the weather ______.
A. without studying satellite pictures
B. before receiving satellite pictures
C. when receiving satellite pictures
D. after comparing the new satellite pictures with the earlier ones
( D )3.According to the passage, maybe meteorologists will soon be able to forecast the weather for ______.
A. about 24 or 48 hours B. about a week
C. less than two weeks D. more than 14 days or even longer
( C )4. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. Satellites can reach any part of the world.
B. Satellites can take pictures of the earth.
C. Satellites are used for forecasting the weather.
D. More and more countries have weather satellites.

200.(2021·深圳)沙石峪的发展历程
Shashiyu was once a poor village in Hebei Province, but now it has changed into a rich and livable place.
In the 1940s, villagers in Shashiyu had little food and few clothes, but they had a strong wish for a better life. Zhang Guishun, the Party secretary of Shashiyu, encouraged his villagers to do their best to pull themselves out of poverty. "In the ancient Chinese story, Yu Gong could move mountains with his strong will and hard work, why can’t we? Nobody was born to be poor?" Hearing his words, the villagers decided to make a difference.
Led by the Communist Party of China(中国共产党), the villagers carried water and soil to their village from faraway places to improve their land. From 1966 to. 1971, they reclaimed(开垦)lots of land and greatly improved their life.
However, the village encountered a new problem two decades later as the environment became heavily polluted by chemical plants and mine refineries built in 1990s.
The polluting factories were shut down in 2004, and villagers started grape cultivation, which soon became a main industry in Shashiyu.
In 2009, the city-level government invested over 1 million yuan($152, 723) to change the village's exhibition hall into a museum in memory of development efforts made by earlier generations.
After 10 years, the village was called "National Forest Village".

201.(2021·深圳)本文讲述了母亲和奶奶不浪费食物的习惯对我产生的好的影响。
When I was a girl growing up, I cannot once ever remember either my mum or my grandma wasting food.
Anything we didn't eat at one meal was leftovers(剩菜). I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of potatoes. We would all eat until we were full enough, but there were always about half of the potatoes leftover. A few days later, Grandma would take those potatoes out of the fridge, boil some noodles, add some vegetables and mix them all together. And I also remember when I watched my mum fry bacon(煎培根)for us in the mornings, she would always take the oil carefully and pour it into a bottle. Then she would use it later to add flavor to so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that potatoes didn't actually taste like bacon!
I learned their lessons well, and after I grew up, I tried to never waste food myself. I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste. Every meal went into our stomachs and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself my boys, my husband or my dogs. To me, throwing food into the bin was just wrong.
However, when it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Life is just like a feast. Each moment that you don't live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved or stored. Each day is a fresh beginning. Live each moment of your life to the fullest, then.
(A)1. The writer's grandma used the leftover potatoes to _________________.
A. mix with noodles B. boil some vegetables

A. Because she mixed the bacon with potatoes.
B. Because she put potatoes into the containers.
C. Because she was good at cooking.
D. Because she poured the bacon oil into potatoes.
(D)3. According to the passage, how did the writer save food in her way?
A. By shopping ahead of time.
B. By throwing it into the litter bin.
C. By following her mother's shopping list.
D. By planning the next week's food.
(B)4. What does the underlined word "feast" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Sweat dream. B. Large meal. C. Happy story. D. Beautiful picture.
(C)5. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. It is never too old to learn.
B. Eat to live, but not live to eat.
C. Neither food nor life should be wasted.
D. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

202.(2021·深圳)本文讲述了研究发现植物可以相互交流。
Can plants talk? Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other.
It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help:"I'm being attacked!"When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps (黄蜂; 蜜蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can't hear these sounds; but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Com and chili plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the "wood wide web". The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi (霉菌). It links the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a "firewall" to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.
Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to "talk" with them ourselves.
(D)1. What will plants do when they are attacked by insects?
A. They will kill the insects by themselves.
B. They will control the wasps to kill the insects.
C. They will send out signals to ask for help.
D. They will produce chemicals as a warning or a call for help.
(B)2. How are the wood wide web linked by fungi?
A. By making noises with their roots.
B. By connecting the roots of different plants to each other.
C. By sharing food and information with each other.
D. By spreading chemicals to each other.
(A)3. What is the writer's intention of the last paragraph?
A. To give people hope for further studies.
B. To praise scientists for their great achievements.
C. To call on people to protect the plants on Earth.
D. To inspire people to communicate with plants.
(B)4. What is the structure of the passage?

Half a century has passed, but Shao Guohua never forgot the film ticket his teacher gave him that warmed his heart when he was a boy. Shao entered primary school in Zigong, Sichuan Province, in 1960. Back then, sports and watching movies were the students' favorite times.
Once, the school organized a trip to the movies for the students, and many of Shao's classmates signed up for it. But the boy had no money to buy the 0.05-yuan ticket.

He can't remember what movie it was, but Shao never stopped being thankful to his teacher. “Ms. Mo made forty or fifty yuan a month back then, so a 0.05-yuan ticket may not be a big deal for her. But for me, it moved me deeply,” said 63-year-old Shao.

205.(2021·百色)本文介绍了打喷嚏或咳嗽会传播细菌，当打喷嚏或咳嗽时，最好以纸巾捂住嘴巴，如果没有纸巾，最好是以手肘捂嘴而不是用手。
When you feel a sneeze(喷嚏)or cough coming on, covering your mouth prevents the spread of germs(细菌). You probably knew that.
But how to cover your mouth is very important. You might use tissues(纸巾), and put your used tissues into the bin. “If you don't have tissues, you should sneeze into your elbow, not your hand, even if you are used to doing that.” The doctors advised.
“If somebody sneezes into his hands, those germs will be passed on to other people, or other objects that people touch.” said Dr. Hill.
Germs are most commonly spread by sneezing and coughing. When they land on your hands, they are passed from hands to things like bills, door knobs(扶手), lift buttons and other surfaces. At the same time, the people around you can touch them.
“The suggestion was taken seriously about 10 years ago. However, most people didn't pay much attention to it. That means the adults may have missed the advice. But children are often taught in school the right way to cough or sneeze.” Dr. Benjamin said.
To be clear, people can't keep away from all the risks in this way, but it's the best choice. At the same time, we'd better wear masks (口罩)and often wash our hands. “Hand washing is one of the most important things people can do to keep healthy.” Dr. Hill said.

209.(2021·北部湾)本文讲述了公车上意为老人的“早上好”打破了车上的沉闷，使人们建立了友谊。
I usually took a bus to school. I found that most passengers were silent and never had a conversation with anyone else.
About a year ago, an old man got on the bus and said loudly to the driver, “Good morning!” Most people looked up, wondering why, and the bus driver didn't take it seriously and just replied in a cold voice, “Mm - hmm”The next day the man got on and again he said in a loud voice, “Good morning!” to the driver. Another “Mm - hmm”. By the fifth day, the driver finally answered him with a little happy “Good morning!” Then the man said, “My name is Benny” The driver told the man that he was Sam.
That was the first time any of us had heard the driver's name and soon people began to talk to each other and say hello to Sam and Benny. Soon Benny spread his happy “Good morning!” to the whole bus. Within a few days, his “Good morning!” was returned by a lot of “Good mornings” and the whole bus seemed to be friendlier. People got to know each other.
“Benny truly showed friendship among us with a simple ‘Good morning!’,” I thought.
Then suddenly, Benny stopped showing up. Everyone began to ask about Benny, wondering what happened to him. No one knew what to do and the bus got quiet again. So, last week, I started to act like Benny and say “Good morning!” to everyone and the whole bus cheered up again. Hopefully, Benny could come back to see his “Good morning!” mattered a lot.
Sometimes we see some strangers so many times that we know their faces well, but we never even say hello to them. By saying hello, friendship starts to grow, and sunshine comes to the world around us, and love spreads over the community we are in. Why not start a “hello” today?
(C)1. At first, passengers were ________ on the bus.

A. He received a “hello” on the first day
B. No one on the bus has ever asked about him
C. He didn't show up because he had an illness
D. He said “Good morning!” when getting on the bus
(B)4. Why did the writer start to act like Benny?
A. Because he liked to make friends with strangers
B. Because he wanted to cheer up the whole bus again
C. Because Benny asked him to say “Good morning!”
D. Because he thought what Benny did was interesting
(A)5. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Friendship Begins With A Hello B. Five “Mm - hmms” Change A Lot

210.(2021·北部湾)本文探讨了用手书写好还是用键盘书写好。
Do you like writing by hand or wit a keyboard?
A new brain research, led by researchers at Norwegian University of Science and Technology. shows that choosing handwriting instead of using a keyboard results in better learning and memory.
“When you write your shopping list or class notes by hand, you simply remember what you wrote better later, ” said Audrey van der Meer, who did the study.
12 young grown - ups and 12 children took part in the study. This is the first time that children have taken part in such a study. Special machines were used to follow and record brain wave (电波) activity. Each person wore a special cap with over 250 electrodes (电极) on the head, and was asked to write by hand and use a keyboard. The sensors (传感器) in the electrodes picked up the activity that took place in the brain. Each examination took 45 minutes for each person.
The results showed that the brain in both young grow-ups and children is much more active when writing by hand than when using a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of senses become active by holding a pen and pushing it down on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing. These build connection between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning.
Van der Meer believes that the results call attention to the importance of children being asked to draw and write at an early age, especially at school. “Learning to write by hand is a bit slower course, but it's important for children to experience the tiring step of learning to write by hand,” she said.
The hand movements used to form the shapes of letters are helpful in several ways. “If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires control of your fine motor (精细动作) skills and senses. It's important to put the brain in a learning condition as often as possible,” Van der Meer added. For example, you might use a keyboard to write an article, but you should take notes by hand during a class.
(B)1. Which is the correct order of the research steps?
①Record and study the results
②Put special caps on each person
③Find 12 young grow - ups and 12 children
④Ask he people 1o write by hand and use a keyboard

B. Fewer people choose handwriting and more people use a keyboard
C. The brain is more active when writing by hand than when using a keyboard
D. It is easier to put your brain in a learning condition when you use a keyboard
(C)3. What does the underlined word “These” refer to (指的是)?
A. The letters you are learning to write
B. The skills you use to write an article
C. The sense experiences when you write by hand
D. The different parts of the brain relative to writing
(D)4. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

213. (2021·扬州)本文围绕环保食品的四个问题进行了解答。
Is it possible to have a diet（日常饮食）that's both healthy and friendly to our planet? Here are answers to your eco-friendly food questions.
Does what I eat influence climate（气候）change?
Yes. The world's food system is responsible for（为…负责）about one quarter of the planet-warming greenhouse gases that humans produce each year. That includes raising and harvesting all the plants, animals, and animal products we eat, as well as processing, packaging, and shipping food to markets all over the world.
Which foods have the largest influence?
In general, beef and lamb have the biggest climate footprint per gram of protein while plant-based foods like beans, rice, corn and wheat have the smallest influence. Pork, chicken, eggs are somewhere in the middle.
Is there a simple food choice I can make?
Studies have shown that people who eat a meat-heavy diet can reduce their food-related footprint by one third or more by moving to a vegan diet — no meat, dairy（乳制品）, or eggs. If you don't want to go that far, just eat less meat.
Can I really make a difference to our planet?
We need more food to feed the world's growing population. One person alone can make only a tiny difference. If many people make changes to their diets, that will start to add up. It will make a greater difference if the world's heaviest meat eaters make some changes to their diets.
(B)1. According to the passage, which foods have the smallest influence on our planet?

As she turned away, Roberta saw her face. She never forgot it.
"Oh, Mother, "she whispered, "how I love you! You are brave enough to laugh when you're feeling like that!"
Then they took a train to Three Chimneys. No one knew howlong they had been in the train when Mother woke them up.

215. (2021·扬州)本文主要讲了亨利格兰特攀登Squaw Peak时有一位女人从山上滑下去了，他和大家合力救人的故事。
As a mountain, 1, 642-foot Squaw Peak isn't that impressive. But its views attract many hikers（远足者）. Henry Grant, a college student at Ithaca College, was one of them.
While waiting for his mother one day in August 2019, Grant watched other hikers enjoy the view. One hiker, dressed in pink, was looking over the lip of the cliff（悬崖）with her husband.
When Grant's mother rejoined him, the two continued on their way. Suddenly, he heard something scaring: "Paula! Paula!" a man shouted crazily. Grant turned around quickly.
Several hikers immediately started looking for her, but their view was screened by trees. Uncertain they could help, Grant and his mother headed down the trail. But when he saw some hikers still searching, he decided to lend a hand. After promising his mother that he would be safe, he went on alone,
After 15 minutes of climbing over large rocks, pushing past bushes, and slipping（滑） down loose earth, Grant found a pink figure. The woman had fallen about 75 feet. Luckily, she was alive.
"Paula! Paula!" Grant shouted. The woman didn't reply. She was badly hurt. Grant called the police to report her location. She kept trying to move, and every time she moved, she slipped a little more. Afraid that in her unclear state of mind she might fall off the rock to her death, Grant climbed on all fours up a tight, narrow path by digging into the earth with his fingers and feet until he reached Paula.
Paula was moaning, almost senseless. Grant gently put her hand in his, trying to keep her mind off the pain by keeping asking her questions: "Where are you from? Do you have kids?" Soon, they were joined on their perch（歇脚处）by another hiker named Simon.

216. (2021·扬州)本文向我们介绍了意大利研究人员Arianna Pipitone和 Antonio Chella设计了一个能“自言自语”的机器人。
Ever wondered why your virtual（虚拟的）home helper doesn't understand your questions? Or why your navigation app took you on the side street instead of the highway? In a study published April 2lst in the journal Science, Italian researchers, Arianna Pipitone and Antonio Chella, designed a robot that "thinks out loud".
To explore how inner speech might influence a robot's actions, the researchers built a robot called Pepper that speaks to itself. It has the ability to reason and think. They then asked people to set the dinner table with Pepper according to etiquette（礼仪）rules. In one experiment, the user asked Pepper to lay the napkin at the wrong place, going against the rules. Pepper started asking itself a series of self-directed questions and concluded that the user might be mistaken. To be sure, Pepper confirmed the user's order, which led to further inner speech.
"Ehm, this situation troubles me. I would never break the rules, butI can't make the user unhappy, so I'm doing what he wants, "Pepper said to itself, laying the napkin where it was required to be. Through Pepper's inner voice, the user can learn Pepper was facing a difficult situation and solved it by prioritizing the user's order.
Comparing Pepper's actions with and without inner speech, Pipitone and Chella discovered the robot had a higher task-completion rate when having self-dialogue.
However, some people find the robot spends more time completing tasks when it talks to itself. The robot's inner speech is also limited to the knowledge that researchers gave it. Pepper's designers still say their work provides a framework（构架）to further explore how self-dialogue can help robots focus, plan, and learn. "In some ways, we are creating a generational（世代的）robot that likes to chat. From navigation apps and the camera on your phone to medical robots in the operation rooms, machines and computers alike can take advantage of this chatty feature, "says Chella.
(A)1. Why does the writer ask two questions at the very beginning of the passage?
A. To draw the reader's attention to the topic.
B. To show the writer likes electronic products.
C. To tell the reader about the history of robots.
D. To prove the writer often faces trouble in life.
(D)2. Why was Pepper asked to lay the napkin at the wrong place?
A. To see how much time Pepper spent laying the napkin.
B. To confirm how popular Pepper was among its users.
C. To test how many etiquette rules Pepper remembered.
D. To study how self-dialogue might influence Pepper's actions.
(B)3. What does the underlined word "prioritizing" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. repeating B. dealing with . . first C. going against D. complaining about
(A)4. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The designers are proud of their work about Pepper.
B. Pepper has already been in use in the operation rooms.
C. Pepper's inner speech depends on its user's communication skills.
D. With or without inner speech, Pepper could complete a task equally well.

220. (2021·苏州)本文主要介绍了学习能使大脑中的神经元网络生长，学习就是大脑的改变。

Everybody has a brain, but not many people know how the brain works. Some people believe that the brain is like the hard disk of a computer. We use it to store files 一 pictures, language (words, texts, sounds) and so on. Others compare the brain to a huge cupboard with lots of shelves and boxes in it. We put information into these boxes and hope to find it again later.
The brain is not A computer disk, And it isn't a cupboard. Look at the picture here. It looks a hit like weeds（杂草）in a garden, doesn't it? The picture actually shows a child's neocortex— a part of the brain that controls sight and hearing. You can guess what happens — more "weeds" grow as the child gets older, Scientists call these neuronal（神经元的）networks. The networks grow around our neurons. -What makes them grow? Learning!" Learning is brain change, "says Professor James Zull from Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. "Without learning, nothing changes in the brain. For every new word you learn in your English lesson, every problem you solve in maths, every new song you learn to sing, a neuronal network grows in your brain and the brain changes."
The more neuronal networks we grow, the better we can think and the better we remember. You may wonder if there is anything you can do to make the networks in your brain grow better. Professor Zull says yes, there is. He says that brain change is strongest when a) you are interested in and like what you are learning, b) you are in control of what you learn and c) you get challenging tasks that make you think hard. Understanding a challenging task makes you feel good and develops your brain,
(B)1. What's the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. The brain — a fantastic computer. B. What people believe about the brain.
C. How to make your brain stronger. D. Our brain—a growing system.
(A)2. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Learning makes our neuronal networks grow.
B. Seeing a challenging task develops our brain.
C We remember better when things are easy.
D. There's nothing we can do to make us smarter
(D)3. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Interest is the best teacher B. Meeting life’s challenges
C. Never too late to learn D. Learning is brain change

Cast of Characters: Narrator, Kayla, Ms. Lee, Zack
Narrator: On a sunny day in southern Texas, Ms. Lee's students gathered in the school playground.
Ms. Lee: Tomorrow is the day of the sidewalk（人行道）chalk-art festival. The principal has allowed us to practise our wet-chalk drawing on the playground sidewalk, which will be our studio, Remember, whenever you want to draw on a sidewalk, always ask an adult in charge for permission before you draw. Now let's review the steps of wet-chalk drawing. What do we do first?
Narrator: As the students told her the steps in order, Ms. Lee wrote them on a large pad of paper. When she finished writing, she pulled the paper off the pad and displayed the directions so everyone could read them. Then the students chose and soaked （浸湿）their pieces of chalk. Meanwhile, Kayla and Zack planned their drawing.
Kayla: Let's draw a jungle feast. Parrots can be eating all kinds of fruit.
Zack: I’ll draw a model train carrying food to the birds.

Zack: Our drawing is ruined（毁坏）！
Kayla: Don't be so worried! Quick, mix the water and the chalk together! Now lets use more chalk and smear（涂抹）it around.
Narrator: Kayla and Zack worked quickly. The smeared colours looked glorious, like rich, thick frosting on a cake.
Ms. Lee: That looks great! That's a special method you're using, kids. Are you two interested in taking part in the chalk-art festival tomorrow? The timetable for the festival says that drawing starts at 9:00 a. m.

228.（2021·南京）本文主要介绍了一本书从一个想法到出版的一整个完整的制作流程是怎么样的。
Have you ever wondered how a book is made? It takes a lot of people to make a book. It can take months, or even years, for a book to go from an idea to a finished product.
A book begins when an author comes up with an idea for a book. Authors get ideas in different ways. They may get ideas from their own lives, from watching the world around them, or from reading.
Next, an author may plan the book by making an outline （提纲）. Sometimes authors do research to gather information. They may read books or articles. They may interview people or visit places.
Then, the author begins to write. Authors may write for months or years to finish a manuscript. A manuscript is the text an author produces for publication.
Finally, the author sends the completed manuscript to a publisher. If the publisher decides to publish the book, the author works with an editor. An editor reads the manuscript. Then he or she recommends changes to improve the book. A copy editor reads the manuscript to correct any grammatical mistake.
After an author makes the suggested changes, a designer may decide how the book will look. The designer may choose the size, shape, and type styles for the book. Some picture book authors create their own illustrations（插图）. If not, an illustrator is chosen to create pictures for the book.
The illustrator makes sketches of pictures that will go on each page. The sketches are sent to the publishing company. The editor makes sure the pictures clearly tell the story. The designer checks how the words and pictures will fit together on the pages.
After the design changes are made, the illustrator begins creating the final pictures. He or she may change the colours, the perspective, or the composition of pictures. It may take months to create all the pictures.
The finished art is then sent to the publisher. The designer adjusts（调整）how the pictures and words fit together on the pages. The completed pages are sent to the printer. Many books are still made into books with paper pages.
The printer uses huge printing presses to make the pages. The pages are fixed together. The book cover is added. The finished books are then sent to the publisher's warehouse. They are stored there until they are bought by libraries and bookstores.
E-readers have changed how some books are made. Some authors do not use a publisher at all. Instead of sending a manuscript to a publisher, some authors turn their manuscripts into eBooks themselves. Finally, an author's eBook is uploaded（上传）to virtual bookstores on the Internet. Customers can buy and download eBooks from these websites.

A. create pictures for the book B. make an outline of the book

230.（2021·连云港）文章通过描述“旧物日”来告诉我们旧东西的价值。
March 2 is Old Stuff Day（旧物日）.It is all about old stuff. Things you used have been forgotten for ages in your home. You must have some old stuff around. And today is all about enjoying it. Because what's better than finding something really great from days gone by?
It's so easy to forget things you have. If we don't use them every day, some things can be put away and stay there. And that's not just the things in your home— technology grows so quickly, new toys come out all the time, new books keep coming out. In the age of new information, we can have so many things easily. Today is all about remembering the things we sometimes leave behind.
We've learned to value what age can bring to things. Wines, for example, are more valuable and tastier as they grow older. It's certain that old things still have their uses, value or charm. People today will pay a pretty penny for stamps, toys, video games, board games, books, coins, and clothes of yesterday.
You can really get into the charm of old things by visiting a junk shop （旧货店）. Another person's old stuff could be your new stuff! Or maybe now is a good day to clean up? Old stuff could become a great gift for someone else, or you could always send your old things to a charity shop. If you're free, you could turn your old clothes into new ones with just a little change.
Today could be a good day to visit your older families. You could ask your grandparents to tell you stories about family history, their childhood and their youth. Learn about what was going on in the world when they were growing up.
Most of all, remember that today's new stuff will one day be old stuff.
( D )1. What is Old Stuff Day?
A. A day to throw away old things. B. A day to follow new technology.

When she was alone, Mary felt lonelier than ever. She went out of the house and ran around the garden ten times. Ben Weatherstaff was working in it.
"Spring is coming," he said to Mary. "I can smell it in the air. Soon there will be spring flowers At this moment, the robin flew toward them and landed at Mary's feet.
"He remembers me, " she said.

232.（2021·连云港）本文主要介绍了什么是月虹、月虹的形成条件以及月虹发生的地点等内容。
You might have seen beautiful rainbows in the sky before. They form when sunlight falls on water drops in the air. But in fact, moonlight can also create rainbows in the same way. They are called "moonbows”. They are similar to rainbows, but they are created by moonlight instead of direct sunlight.
Moonbows are rarer than rainbows. Different weather and astronomical （天文学的）conditions have to be just right for moonbows to be created.
The moon has to be very low in the sky — only 42 degrees from the horizon （地平线）. The moon period has to be a full moon or nearly full. The sky must be very dark for a moonbow to be watched clearly — any bright light can obscure it. Water drops must appear in the air in the opposite direction of the moon.
Moonbows appear on the opposite side of the moon and usually look white to the human eye. This is because their colors are not bright enough to be noticed by the human eye. It is possible, however, to view the colors in a moonbow using long exposure （长时间曝光）photography.
Moonbows more often appear in some locations around the world. Most of these locations usually have waterfalls, which create thin fog in the air. Some of these locations are the Yosemite National Park in California and Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky, US; Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe; and Waimea in Hawaii, US.
Moonbows do really happen. So at a certain time and a certain place, when a moonbow happens to appear, you can't miss it if you' re right there.
(D)1. According to the first two paragraphs, moonbows are _________________.
A. created by sunlight B. much easier to find
C. seen during the day D. more difficult to form
(C)2. Which of the following can be the conditions for a moonbow to form?
A. A half moon hangs high in the bright sky.
B. A full moon is 50 degrees from the horizon.
C. A nearly full moon hangs low in the dark sky.
D. Water drops are in the opposite direction of the sun.
(A)3. What does the underlined word "obscure "in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. cover B. drop C. connect D. produce
(C)4. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Conditions of moonbows. B. Background of moonbows.
C. Locations of moonbows. D. Development of moonbows.

Taichi is an ancient martial art(武术). It is a common kind of exercise in China. More than 100 million people in over 150 countries practice Taichi at present.

As we see in the picture, a white spot is in the black area and a black spot is in the white area. After a dark night, the sun will rise. Leaves fall in autumn but grow in spring.

236. (2021·宿迁)本文讲的杜立得医生变为兽医并获得欢迎的故事。
Dr. Dolittle lived in a small town called Puddleby. Everyone in the town knew him. The dog and children ran after him.
He lived in a small house, but he had a large garden. He kept many animals in his garden. His favorite animals were Dab-Dab, a duck; Jip, a dog; Gub-Gub, a baby pig and Polynesia, a parrot. He also kept some fish, rabbits, cats, a squirrel, a cow and a baby cow, a horse, chickens and so on.
Dr. Dolittle didn't have many patients. Most people didn't like all of his animals, so when they were ill, they went to a doctor in another town.
"But you don’t have any money, "his sister told him. “You need patients.”
“I have a patient, " Dr. Dolittle answered, “The cat's-meat-man. He's the man who sells me meat for the cat.”
“He doesn’t pay you enough to live on, " his sister told him.
“Then I’ll sell everything I have,” he said.
And he did. He sold most of his furniture. He also sold most of his clothes. Then he had enough money to buy food for himself and his animals.
One day, the cat's-meat-man said to him, " Why don't you stop being a doctor for people and become a doctor for animals instead? I’m sure that you know a lot about animals — more than most vets. You wrote a wonderful book about cats. I’d send all the people with sick dogs or cats to you.”
When the cat’s-meat-man left, Polynesia, the parrot, flew onto the table. “He’s right, Doctor,” Polynesia said. “You should become an animal doctor.”
“There are a lot of vets,” Dr, Dolittle said.
“Perhaps there are a lot of vets. But you'd be the best vet of all. I'm not the only animal that can talk. All the animals can talk. Each kind of animal has its own language. I'll teach you mine if you like.”
“Yes, please,” Dr. Dolittle said. He opened a drawer (抽屉) and took out a notebook and pencil. “Will you teach me the parrot's ABCs first?” he asked.
Polynesia agreed to teach Dr. Dolittle parrot language. Later that day, Jip came into the room. Polynesia said, "He’s talking to you, Doctor."
“I don't think he is,” Dr. Dolittle said. “He’s just cratching(挠) himself.”
“Dogs talk with their ears, their noses, and their tails,” Polynesia told him. They don't always make a noise. Do you see how he is moving his nose now?”
“Yes.”
“He is telling us that it has stopped raining, and he wants to ask you a question.”
Every day, Dr. Dolittle learned the languages of the animals. When people found out he was now an animal doctor, they brought their sick pets to him.
One day, a horse said to him, " You’re a much better animal doctor than the vet. You knew I couldn't see well, and you made glasses for me.”
The horse was very pleased. He could see very well. He told all his friends how clever Dr. Dolittle was, and they told all their friends. Soon, many animals came to see him. He had a different door for each animal, and he wrote the name of each kind of animal above each door. HORSES, COWS,...

239. (2021·广元)文章介绍了纳米机器人在手术中的应用，但也有人担心如果他们失去控制，纳米机器人就会毁灭地球．是否继续研究纳米机器人是未来最难的决定之一。
A small cloud moves slowly through the air in a hospital operating room (手术室). In the room a patient with cancer(癌症), lies on a table. The cloud is all around the patient, covering her body and filling her lungs(肺). The cloud is not smoke. It is made of millions of nano-robots(纳米机器人). These tiny robots move from cell (细胞) to cell in the patient's body, killing the cancer.
Fighting cancer with nano-robots is only an idea today, but scientists say that it could be possible in the future. Using nano-robots for good purposes such as fighting the illness or repairing the environment may be the way to many of today's problems.
However, nano-robots could be a dangerous risk as well. Because nano-robots are so tiny, they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to many millions. For this reason, nano-robots will have to be programmed(被编程)to build themselves. Scientists will not have the ability to build millions of nano-robots one by one.
This ability to re-produce is making some scientists worried. What will happen if something goes wrong in the programming? Quite a lot of crazy nano-robots would be far worse than any illness. Some people think that if they get out of control, nano-robots could make the Earth gone.
What should be done? Should we continue researching nano-robots or should we search for other methods? This is one of the many difficult decisions that we have to make in the future.

242.(2021•潍坊)本文主要介绍了发生化学变化的过程叫做化学。

Everything is made of something. Nothing is made of nothing.
Chemistry is about the smallest things that other bigger things are made of，and what happens when they change.The word chemistry comes from chemical，which is an example of one type of the very small things that other bigger things are made of.The words you are reading now are made of a dark liquid called ink（墨水），which is written on paper.The paper itself is made out of the chemicals that wood is made out of.Both the ink and the paper were made by different chemical processes.A chemical process is what happens when chemicals come together to make other chemicals，and therefore other things.
Cooking makes chemical changes.Your different ingredients are made of different chemicals，and when you put them together and make them hot and cook them，the chemicals change into new chemicals and the different ingredients make something new.That tomato sauce you're making is made of tomatoes，onions，garlic，salt and pepper.Those ingredients each have their own chemicals and their own flavors，but now with your sauce you've made something different，something that has its own flavor，all the ingredients mixed together，all the chemicals mixed together，something new.
You can smell the chemical changes，too，as they go up into your nose，especially when you forget about your sauce and it doesn't just cook but bums and becomes black and has a really bad flavor.You can't make it better，either，because once chemicals change，they can't be changed back again.

245.(2021•泰安)本文主要讲了王海燕学习皮影戏并且弘扬这一艺术形式的故事。

When Wang Haiyan was young, her favorite toys weren’t Barbie dolls. Instead, she started learning to make shadow puppets(皮影) from her father at 13. Now 43, Wang has spent 30 years practicing and spreading the art.
Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that uses puppets made from leather(皮) or paper, accompanied(伴奏) by music and singing. It was invented during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC—AD 24). It tells us about folk tales and historical stories, passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.
Shadow puppetry is all about creating the puppets and performing with them. Wang’s hometown of Hua county, Shanxi, is known as the birthplace of the folk art.
Puppet—makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets including washing the leather, carving(雕刻) and painting, according to Wang. Carving is the most difficult part.
“We have a special carving skill—moving the leather under the knife,” Wang said. It took Wang three years to master this skill. She used a brick(砖块) to strengthen her left hand while practicing. It takes about 3,000 carves to make a shadow puppet. “The complex (复杂的) steps make it hard to hand down the folk art,” she said.
But Wang has found a way to do so. In recent years, she has made shadow puppets based on some cartoon series and given a live streaming performance. She used colors like blue and purple that were hardly seen in shadow puppetry and added more sticks to the puppets to make the performance more lively. “I hope more and more young people enjoy shadow puppetry and pass it down,” she said,
(D)1. Making the puppets includes the following steps except .
A. painting B. carving C. washing the leather D. making bricks
(B)2. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A. Where shadow puppetry was invented.
B. What shadow puppetry is.
C. Why people like shadow puppetry.
D. When Wang began to learn shadow puppetry.
(A)3. What does the underlined phrase “hand down” mean in the fifth paragraph?
A. 传承 B. 提高 C. 酷爱 D. 放弃
(C)4. Which of the following statements about Wang Haiyan is TRUE?
A. She learned all by herself to make shadow puppets.
B. She didn’t master the carving skill until she was 43.
C. She expected more young people to spread shadow puppetry.
D. She was more interested in cartoon series than shadow puppetry

246.(2021•泰安)本文主要介绍了科学家发明了一个新的系统能够使用"machine learning"来预测闪电何时何地会发生。

Scientists say they’ve developed a new system(系统). It can use “machine learning” to predict when and where lightning(闪电) will strike(闪击). The research was led by engineers from Switzerland.
European researchers have estimated(估算) between 6, 000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. The strikes can also cause power cuts, destroy houses and start forest fires. For these reasons, some climate scientists have studied to develop methods to predict and control lightning. But no system has been created to effectively predict lightning.
The new system is being tested in the experiments(实验). It used a combination of data(数据资料) from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model. It was trained to tell weather conditions that were possible to cause lightning.
The model was created with some data. The data was collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data related to(与……有关) four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity(相对湿度) and wind speed.
The atmospheric(大气的) data was put into a machine learning algorithm(计算程序), which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.
Amirhossein Mostajabi is a PhD student who led the development of the new system. He said, “Common systems for collecting such data are slow and complex, and they require expensive collection equipment(设备) like radar or satellites (卫星).”
“Our system uses data that can be gotten from any weather station,” Mostajabi said. “This will improve data collection in the areas which are not covered by radar and satellites or in places where communication systems have been cut,” he added.
(B)1. According to the passage, the strikes can’t cause .
A. power cuts B. earthquakes
C. forest fires D. the death of people
(D)2. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 5?
A. The lightning strike. B. The system being tested.
C. The machine learning algorithm. D. The atmospheric data.
(C)3. What do the last two paragraphs mainly tell us?
A. Where weather stations should be built.
B. How the machine learning algorithm works.
C. The advantages of the new system in data collection.
D. The new system has effectively predicted lightning in faraway areas.
(D)4. Which of the following statements about the new system is TRUE?
A. Its prediction model has been tested for 12 years.
B. It has been put into use in cities and mountain areas widely.
C. The new system requires expensive collection equipment to collect data.
D. It uses machine learning to predict the time and places of lightning strikes.

251.(2021•菏泽)本文是一篇说明文，向我们介绍清洗牛仔布会对环境造成污染，建议我们少买牛仔裤，少清洗。
Think about what you like to wear on the weekend. There’s a good chance that you like to put on a pair of blue jeans. At any moment, about half of the world’s population is wearing jeans. But according to a new study, our love for jeans may be bad for Earth. Denim（牛仔布）might be putting some sea animals in danger.
Every time we wash our jeans, tiny bits of denim will flow out of our washing machines, down into the world’s rivers, lakes and oceans.
You might wonder: Isn’t denim made of cotton, a natural material? How can it become a danger to nature? Well, in the process of making jeans, denim is treated with many types of man-made chemicals. Some improve its durability （耐用性）and feel; others give jeans their blue color.
Scientists studied the Great Lakes in America and the Arctic Ocean in northern Canada. They found denim waste in all of the samples（样本）they had collected. It is feared that the harmful chemicals in denim have spread far and wide. Scientists aren’t yet sure how these chemicals might harm animals.
In the study, the scientists also washed jeans to see how many bits of denim each pair would drop per wash. The answer was frightening: About 50,000. Not all of them make their way into the environment. Wastewater treatment plants hold back 83 to 99 percent of them. This may sound pretty good, However, one percent of 50,000 bits are still 500 per wash. Now think about the number of jeans around the world and the times each of them gets washed. As a result, a large amount of denim waste still gets into the environment.
Does this mean we shouldn’t wear jeans? Probably not “We need to buy fewer jeans and only wash them when we truly need to do it,” says Sam Athey, one of the scientists. “You don’t need to wash your jeans after having worn them only a couple of times.”
(A)1. What influence might denim have on sea animals?
A. It might do harm to some sea animals.
B. It has no influence on sea animals.
C. It is good to all the sea animals.
(C)2.Why do people add man-made chemicals when making jeans?
①To save the materials and make more money.
②To improve denim’s durability and feel.
③To make jeans blue
A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②③
(C)3. How many bits of denim might get into the environment every year?
A. Five hundred. B. Fifty thousand. C. Too many to count.
(C)4. What should we do according to Sam Athey’s words?
A. We are not supposed to wear jeans.
B. We need to wash our jeans every day.
C. We should buy fewer jeans and wash them fewer times.

252.(2021•菏泽)本文主要讲述了牧羊人朱克铭救助了六名越野赛选手的英勇事迹。

Zhu Keming never thought he would be a hero one day, but he was just that on Saturday when he saved the lives of six runners during the mountain marathon（马拉松）in Baiyin, Gansu Province, in which 21 people lost their lives.
It started off as a normal day for the 49-year-old shepherd, who was taking care of his more than 30 sheep on the mountainside. But soon the weather was terrible, with rainfall and hail. The rain got so heavy that he couldn’t see clearly and had to run into a cave where he normally went to have a rest. Soon he fell asleep in the cave after covering himself with some quilts he had stored there.
But he was awakened at 2 pm by an unusual sound that was not coming from his sheep. The sound that woke Zhu was the cry of a runner in the marathon. He was wet from head to toe and trembling because of cold. Zhu took him into the cave, lit a fire and covered the stricken （受伤的）runner with his quilts.
Zhu said that there were soon five runners huddling （挤作一团）in the cave, and he then decided to go outside to try to attract the attention of rescuers （救援者）. When he risked coming out of the cave, he found another stricken runner lying on the ground in bad condition. Then the other runners came out of the cave to give a hand. Zhu and the six runners remained huddled around the fire in his cave until 7 pm, when the rescue team arrived.
“I just did what I had to when I saw that these people were in danger. I think everyone would do the same thing in such a situation, “Zhu said to Beijing News.
Luo Chongchuan, the village head of Changsheng, where Zhu and his family live, said that the shepherd is a warm-hearted person who often helps his villagers.

253.(2021•东营)本文主要是阿尔佛雷德写给文斯的邮件，邮件中讲了自己在西班牙的生活。

Hi Vince,
It's been a while since we got in touch last time. How has your semester （学 期）been?
I want to send you an email to let you know how things have been going during my semester abroad here in Malaga, Spain（西班牙）. I’ve already been here for several weeks, and I feel like I am finally adapting （适应）to the culture. I'm also speaking the language better.
I arrived here on September 1st. The weather has been very nice. Even though it's October, it's still rather sunny and warm. In fact, I went to the beach and swam in the Mediterranean Sea （地中海）earlier today.
I am living with a very welcoming host family. I have my own private bedroom. We eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. On Sundays, we have a big home-cooked paella for lunch. In Spain, lunch is usually the biggest meal of the day. It's also very common for the people to take a midday nap right after a big meal. I am actually just waking up from my nap right now!
On weekdays, I take classes at the local university. There, I met several native（本国的）Spanish speakers. They have been very kind and patient with me. At first, it I was difficult for me to understand their Spanish, but now I understand most of our conversations. They say that my Spanish has improved a lot since we first met. Now, I am more confident （自信的）to use the language in other places like stores and restaurants.
I am so glad that I decided to spend the semester here in Spain. Tomorrow, October 12th, is Spain's National Day. We will have a five-day holiday. A group of my friends and I are going to travel to France for four days. It's so easy and inexpensive to travel internationally in Europe. I love it!

254.(2021•东营)本文主要讲了山姆为罗莎的聚会送罗莎礼物的经过。
It just hadn't been a very good week. On Tuesday, Sam's father lost his job. Then on Wednesday, Sam's mother announced that the （房租）on their apartment was going up. Now it was Friday, and Sam received an invitation from Rosa to her birthday party.
Sam knew Rosa from Adventure（冒险）Club. He knew he would enjoy Rosa's party, but he didn't want to go without a gift. What could he possibly buy her with the little bit of money he had? Sam knew he couldn’t ask Mom or Dad for any money—not this week!
Later that afternoon, Sam noticed a second-hand book sale going on. He went there and had a quick look. Two books caught his eye, The first was a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods, and the second was a book about women explorers（探险家）. " Rosa would like these, " Sam thought, "but would it be tacky（蹩脚的）to give her second-hand books for her birthday? "
Sam decided that a second-hand gift was better than no gift at all. Besides, Rosa supported recycling in a big way. So, she would probably like it. With his last dollar, Sam bought the books and went home. He felt a little better.
The party was on Saturday. Rosa opened all her gifts and thanked everyone for the nice things they had given her. She paused （停顿）when she opened Sam's gift, which made him wonder if she liked the books, but nothing was said.
When Sam got home, he opened his e-mail and found this note from Rosa.

255.(2021•东营)本文主要介绍了杂货店和农贸市场。
When most people decide to buy food, they go to a grocery store. Grocery stores sell many different kinds of food in just one store. Some grocery stores also sell household goods such as kitchen paper, cleaning things, and diapers （尿布）. A grocery store is a convenient place to shop for the kitchen and others.
Although it is comfortable and relaxing to shop at a grocery store, some people decide to buy their food from other places like farmers' markets. At a farmers’ market, local farmers sell the foods they grow to customers. The foods they sell often include fruits, vegetables, and meats. Most of these foods are freshly harvested（收获）with no man-made additions.
There are several ways in which farmers’ markets are less convenient than grocery stores. For example, packed foods usually are not sold at farmers’ markets. Besides, many farmers do not accept credit（信用）cards or checks （支票）as payment for their goods. What is more, most farmers’ markets are only open for business once or twice each week. This makes some people not want to shop at farmers' markets, but others are willing because of the fresh and local food there.
Deciding whether to shop for food at grocery stores or at farmers’ markets is a personal choice. This choice reflects a person's values about life and about food. Those who value convenience and（多样）will probably choose to shop at a grocery store.
People who value freshness and enjoy supporting local farmers will probably prefer the farmers' markets. Luckily, most communities provide choices for both kinds of shoppers.

A. To complain（抱怨）about the business time of farmers* markets.
B. To help readers look for a better farmers market.
C. To explain why farmers* markets are less convenient than grocery stores.

256.(2021•东营)文章主要讲述了伽利略通过观察用实验证明世人的想法和观点是否正确，被人们称为"现代科学之父"。
Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1564. His father taught music while his mother cared for kids at home. The family was not wealthy, but Galileo's parents paid for him to go to school.
At first Galileo planned to become a doctor, but he changed his mind. He liked a different kind of science—physics. In Galileo's time, not much was known about how objects moved. Centuries earlier, a Greek（希腊人）named Aristotle had written down his ideas about movements, and everyone seemed to believe them. Galileo questioned those ideas and did experiments （实验）that showed how things really worked. For example, Aristotle thought that a heavier object would fall faster than a lighter one of the same size and shape. No one had ever really tested this idea. It just seemed to be true. Then Galileo came along, dropped two balls from a high tower, and discovered that they hit the ground at the same time!
In later years, Galileo became interested in how the stars and planets move. He watched the sky with a telescope（望远镜）he built himself. Once again, he saw things no one had ever seen before. For example, he saw that the moon was not smooth. Then he noticed that the sun had spots （斑点）that seemed to move. Galileo realized from his observations （观察）that the earth was moving around the sun. A Polish （波兰的）scientist named Copernicus had said this recently, but no one believed him. Galileo knew that Copernicus was right. Unluckily, Galileo's announcement got him into trouble with the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church said that the earth was at the center of the universe（宇宙）with the sun traveling around it. This was what people had long believed, but Galileo said it was untrue. So he was sent to jail（监狱）. He was soon set free, but for the rest of his life he had to stay in his house and yard
Galileo died in 1642, but his work helped to change the world. He is sometimes called the father of modern science11 because he showed us how important it is to look carefully at things and to test out ideas with experiments.
(C)1. Both Galileo and Copernicus believed that __________.
A. two objects fall at the same speed
B. the moon is smooth
C. the earth goes around the sun

(D)2. We can infer from this passage that _________.
A. Galileo's parents didn't value the education
B. all of Aristotle's ideas were proved to be wrong
C. Galileo knew Copernicus and exchanged letters with him
D. the Catholic Church was very powerful in Galileo's time
(C)3. While Galileo stayed at home in his later years, he most probably _________.
A. learned to play music
B. began to practice medicine
C. continued with his science experiments
D. wrote books on modern science
(D)4. According to this passage, Galileo is called "the father of modem science" because he _________.
A. was brave to fight against the church
B. questioned other scientists1 ideas
C. built a telescope to look at the stars and planets
D. made careful observations and tested his ideas
(B)5. Which would be a good title for this passage?
A. Mysteries in the universe
B. Galileo, father of modern science
C. "Is it true? "—Different ideas in science
D. Great minds saved the world

Dad came home then and brought the boys a local newspaper, in which there was news about football scouts (球探) from England visiting Ghana (加纳). These scouts had asked to be allowed to visit schools to look for players of the future.

259.（2021·日照）文章介绍了有关地震救援机器人的一些情况。

Earthquake rescue (救援) robots experienced their final tests in Beijing, The inventors of this robot said with this robot, rescuers would be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.
This kind of robot is able to fly. It's about three meters long, and it took about four years to develop the model. Its main function is to collect information from the air and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped (困住) by an earthquake. It has an excellent camera which can provide very clear pictures. It can work day and night, and is also able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
Dr. Qi Juntong, a researcher from Tsinghua University, said, “The most important character of this flying robot is that it doesn't need a control from faraway paces. We just set in it the information of the places where it should go, and then it takes of, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 30000 meters, and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour.”
This robot has a different function- -it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go. The camera, also acting as a detector (探测器) that finds trapped people and detects harmful gases, is placed in the robot, which can work in the dark, With its 10 - meter - long pipe in the robot, people who are trapped in the fallen buildings will be able to get supplies including oxygen (氧气) and water.
Experts have said that the robots would enter production and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as possible.
(D)1. In what way is the robot different from others, according to Dr. Qi?
A. It has a very special shape B. It is able to fly everywhere
C. It works with no information set in D. It doesn't need a faraway control
(A)2. Which is the function of the camera in the robot?
A. Detecting trapped people B. Dealing with harmful gases
C. Providing oxygen and water D. Sending goods to the quake area
(B)3. Which of the following is TRUE about the robot?
A. It weighs about 30 kilos B. It has not been put into use
C. It works only in the daytime D. It entered production years ago
(D)4. What does the passage mainly tell us?

260.（2021·日照）本文主要讲述了现在家长为了了解自己的孩子而使用追踪应用程序,对该程序的使用注意事项进行了说明。
A few years ago, my sister in-law started to feel worried about her teenage daughter. What was she doing after school? Where was she spending her time? Her daughter was an excellent student, and took part in all kinds of after-class activities. Even so, she decided to put a tracking (跟踪) app on the kid's phone.
At first, this made my sister-in-law “feel better”. Then the good situation suddenly ended, She recalled, “I found out that she was someplace that she said she wasn't. I went out in the middle of the night and found her walking without shoes in the middle of the street with some friends,”Things went quickly downhill for the mother and the daughter after that.
With 83% of teens having their own phones now, according to a study in 2020, more and more of their parents are facing the question to watch or not?
Ann Homayoun, expert from Harford University, has advised many parents and their kids about this. “I’ve found tens are more acceptable to tracking apps when it is included as part of a family agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them,” she said.
Mark Bell, a father of a teenage girl, said, “We don't have tracking apps, but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for us providing a phone,” he said. For example, his daughter must “friend”him on social media (媒体) so that he can read posts, and must share all passwords. When you're trying to build trust, you need to create an environment that encourages it. So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with your children,
“Parents must let children know how and when they'll be watching them,” said Doctor White. “If they're not open about it”, he warns, “it can greatly harm the parent and child relationship.”
(A)1. What's the result of the writer's sister - in - law using the app?
A. She had more problems with her daughter
B. She kept better relationship with her daughter
C. She wasn't worried about her daughter any more
D. She felt good with knowing her daughter's tracks
(C)2. What can we learn about today's teens from Homayoun?
A. They doubt family agreements B. They are worried about online safety
C. They dislike being watched secretly D. They welcome the use of tracking apps
(D)3. Why are Mark Bell and his daughter mentioned in Paragraph 5?
A. To explain how to use phones safely
B. To teach how to put tracking apps on phones
C. To show the importance of being children's friend
D. To give an example of being straight with children
(C)4. What should parents do before using a tracking app according to Dr. White?
A. Check the kids' phone
B. Teach the kids how to use it
C. Make it clear to the kids
D. Make the kids open to parents

261.(2021·临沂)本文主要讲述了40名科学家对2060年生活的预测。
Have you ever imagined what life will be like in 2060? An international group of forty scientists have made some surprising predictions. They said that in the next forty years, our lives would change beyond our wildest dreams.
Firstly, humans can grow body parts themselves. Dr. Ellen Heber-Katz is one of the forty scientists. He says, “People will think it common that sick organs (器官) can be repaired. It’s just like the way we fix a car.” Damaged parts will be taken away. Scientists could use human cells (细胞) to grow new organs. New technologies like this will also help people to live longer. Within forty years, most people will be able to live up to one hundred years.
Secondly, the scientists have predicted that a machine will be invented to “read” the minds of animals. In 2060, we will be able to “talk” to animals. Scientists say that humans may first “talk” with mammals (哺乳动物) and then other vertebrates (脊椎动物) such as fish.
Our houses might also change beyond our imagination. Dr. Susan Greenfield predicts that when you enter the living room, sensors (传感器) will know you. They will turn on the lights. If you talk to the lights, they will change to the color of your choice.
But what would be the biggest breakthrough (突破) over the next forty years? A number of scientists believe it would be the discovery of aliens. NASA scientist Chris Mckay says, “We may find aliens in space and talk with them.” He believes marks of alien life may even be found here on Earth.
Does life in 2060 sound cool to you? Let’s wait and see what will really happen then!
(A)1. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?
A. In 2060, humans may be able to communicate with dogs and aliens.
B. Most people will be able to live up to two hundred years in forty years.
C. The sensors will turn off the lights after you leave the living room in 2060.
(C)2. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (P1=Paragraph 1)









A B C
(B)3. The writer wrote the passage in a 　　　　 tone (语气).
A. scary B. surprising C. disappointing

A. Life in 2060 B. The Biggest Breakthrough C. How to Live Longer

262.(2021·临沂)这篇短文主要介绍了世界上产茶叶最多的国家，饮茶最多的国家，茶叶袋的由来和茶的由来。
Which country grows the most tea? The answer is India. It grows three times as much as China. Which country drinks the most tea? It’s neither China nor Japan. It’s Great Britain.
In the wild, tea plants may be 9 meters tall. But a plant grown for market is pruned. Pruning keeps the plant only 0.9 or 1.2 meters tall. This is an easy height for tea picking. Only the two top leaves and bud (芽) of each new shoot are picked. So to make money, tea plantations (种植园) must be huge.
In general, there are two kinds of tea: black tea and green tea. Black tea is fermented (发酵). In the process, the tea loses nearly all of its healthy parts. Green tea is steamed (蒸) right after the leaves are picked. Green tea keeps its healthy parts. For example, it may prevent heart illness.
How did we get tea bags? The answer: by accident. Tea businessmen used to send samples (样品) in tin (锡) boxes. This was very expensive. One businessman thought of a cheaper way. He sent samples in small silk bags. Customers would open the bag. They would make tea as usual. One customer put the bag into a pot. Then he just poured hot water over it. And the tea bag was born.
Shen Nong was the first to drink tea. He was a Chinese emperor. This was about 2737 B.C. Shen drank several cups of hot water daily. One day something happened. Leaves from a wild tea tree fell into the hot water pot. The next cup was poured. The water was now colored. Shen tasted it. He liked it. He drank it all. Shen was proud of his new drink. He served it to his guests. Word spread. People thought this way: tea is good enough for the Emperor, so it must be good enough for the people. Tea became the drink of China.
(B)1. The writer starts the passage by 　　　　.
A. telling an interesting story

263.(2021·龙东地区)水资源紧缺
You come home on a hot summer day, hoping to have a cool bath, but find there is no water. Then you see how important water is in your daily life. While sometimes you have the idea, in many parts of the world, water is not just about one's everyday needs.
In countries like Tanzania, water is hard to get, and the job of collecting water falls on women's shoulders. Girls often have to leave school to collect water, while their brothers stay at school studying. The girls spend more time collecting water. That means they have less time for learning.
For these girls, "Knowledge is Power" is not just words; it's a sad fact in real life. As they spend less time at school, they have fewer chances of getting good jobs, and they often have no choices on important matters, like who to marry. These girls are often married into poor families. They have little money or knowledge to take care of their children. For the baby girls who are lucky enough to survive(生存) , their life may be still around "water", just like their mothers'.

What are the cultural differences between China and the West? You might be able to find the answer in Cao Siyu's comics (漫画).

Not getting enough sleep is bad for heath Depending on the research from the scientists，people who don't get enough seep are less willing to socialize (社交) with others.They are simply too tired to go out.

283.（2021•宜昌）本文由Jonny和爸爸二人的争论，就生气给我们几条建议，告诉我们好的沟通方式很重要。
Jonny, a 15-year-old student, is checking his dad’s old jacket. He says, “You’re 45. Dad, you’re never going to wear this again. Can I have it?”
Keith has had a bad day at work, and he is feeling old. And Jonny has hit his pain. Keith raises his voice and says, “What? You mean I’m too old to wear the jacket again?”
Jonny feels like this has come out of nowhere, and now he feels hurt. But I only asked, “Why are you shouting at me?”
“But I don’t like being treated as though I’m too old.” Both of them feel a bit upset.
Have you ever had a similar argument with the people around you? Here are some tips for you to remember when you’re getting mad.
● Accept your feelings and consider the other person’s feelings. That means not always making yourself “right” or “clever” and the other person “wrong” or “stupid”.
● Explain yourself and not the other person, so you can speak out your ideas by starting with “I” but not “You”.
● Don’t always have to reflect before reacting（回应）. If you feel angry, I think it’s a good idea to stop for a moment and understand why.
●Don’t decide the purpose of the other person by your guessing. Try to work out what he or she is feeling, and admit（承认）it if you were wrong.
Don’t forget that it’s never too late to start the ways of communicating.
(A)1. From the passage, we can know Jonny _______.
A. is school boy B. doesn’t like his dad

284.（2021•宜昌）本文主要讲述了作者把自己把前院变成一个种蔬菜和鲜花的花园的经历。
When we first moved here, we didn’t have a garden. Mike and I talked about making a large vegetable garden somewhere in our yard, but we couldn’t agree on where. Before we went ahead and dug up the grass, we spent some time thinking about where it would work best. At last, we chose an old sandbox（沙坑）in our front yard to become our garden.
We dreamed about a lively garden with lots of vegetables. We asked many people what we should do to turn this sandbox into a space, then plants can grow in it. And they gave us lots of ideas. My sister was the most knowledgeable, so we listened mostly to her. At first, Mike made a wood fence（栅栏）and I painted it with the kids. We chose a darker color because it would fit our light grey house.
Next, Mike dug 17 holes. Then we filled them with soil（土壤）. It was still too cold to plant anything, so for days I just stared out the window at these holes. To me, it looked much too untidy. I advised to fill those holes back and dig new ones. This time we ended up with 10. Much better.
Over the next few weeks, I worked on getting everything planted in my garden. I started by planting green onion. But I was too excited and planted it too early. Right away it was clear that it wasn’t going to survive. I had to give it up and try something else. Then my next door neighbor gave me red roses to put in my garden. A few days later we went to a greenhouse and came back not with green onion but peppers, tomatoes and so on. Clearly the vegetable and flower garden was slowly becoming our dream garden. Oh well!
I love the way it turned out. This garden will always remind me of my sister.

285.（2021•武汉）本文是一篇记叙文，向我们介绍作者家乡过去和现在的变化。多亏水利工程和政府扶持政策，让作者的村里得到了很大的发展。
When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village, “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project (水利工程) was completed, a policy (政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside.
Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city. However, we should not forget our hometowns where we are from.

286.（2021•武汉）本文主要介绍伟人的事迹，告诉我们伟大的成就不是天生的，所有这些伟人的共同点就是无论发生什么都坚持自己的目标。
Think of somebody you really admire. You will probably find that their success didn’t come easily. As “Father of Hybrid Rice(杂交水稻)”, Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life working to reduce world hunger and helping to feed the country with the largest population.
Wu Mengchao, the “Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery(肝胆外科)”, focused on saving people’s lives for nearly eighty years. He performed more than 16,000 operations during his life. Holding the surgeon’s knife for such a long time deformed his fingers. Wu once said, “It would my greatest happiness if I could work at the operating table until my dying day.”
In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria(疟疾), Tu Youyou, pharmacologist (药学家) took on the job as head of a research team. She and her teammates performed different kinds of experiments. However, the results were disappointing. Instead of giving up, they kept trying. Finally, in 1972, they made it! In 2015, at the age of 85, she received Nobel Prize.
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb believed that every failure was a step towards success. He once said, “If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong try is another step forward.”
Sometimes, their success was a surprise, even to themselves. The famous scientist Alexander Fleming said, “When I woke up just after daybreak on 28th September, 1928, I certainly didn’t plan to revolutionize(变革) all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotic(抗生素). But I guess that was exactly what I did.”
Some people only became successful after their deaths. Not like Pablo Picasso who became famous and very rich during his lifetime, the artist Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend. But he kept painting and he painted more than 2,000 artworks in the following ten years. Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds.
One thing all these people have in common is sticking to their goals no matter what.
(B)1. What do Yuan Longping and Wu Mengchao have in common?
A. They succeeded in solving world problems.
B. They spent all their lives serving people.
C. They achieved a lot in the medical field.
D. They are remembered for their happiness.
(A)2. The underlined phrase deformed his fingers could be replaced by _______.
A. changed the shape of his fingers B. made him feel down
C. gave him too much pressure D. got his fingers cut off
(C)3. It is clear that _______.
A. Pablo Picasso became famous after his death
B. Vincent Van Gogh painted 2,001 artworks in his life
C. it took Tu Youyou’s team about 3 years to reach their goal
D. Thomas Edison tried 10,000 ways before he invented the light bulb
(D)4. When Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic, he ______.
A. felt too tired to stay awake B. didn’t plan to study all medicine
C. knew exactly what his success meant D. didn’t fully realize its importance
(C)5. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?
A. Not everyone can be successful. B. The more difficulties, the better.
C. Great achievements aren’t made naturally. D. Great hopes make great men.

292.（2021•十堰）文章介绍了Noah Webster编制字典，研究美式英语，希望美式英语有自己的特点以及他对美国的影响。
“Colour” and “color”, “favourite” and “favorite”, “honour” and “honor”…Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a “u”? Is it because they are lazy?
Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was started by Noah Webster(1758-1843). He was a teacher who reformed（改革）English to make American identity（特征）stronger. Linguists（语言学家）celebrate his birthday on October 16 every year.
After the Revolutionary War(1775-1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British dictionaries.
He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like what they sounded. He used “subway” instead of British word “underground”. Some other examples are “soccer” and “football”, “fall” and “autumn”.
Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions. In defining（定义）preposterous (unreasonable), he wrote: “A republican government in the hands of female is preposterous.”
Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70, 000-word dictionary with his American-style spelling in 1828. He also added local words.
His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new country achieve unity（统一）and cultural independence at a time when most people cared about political freedom.
“He was the creator of our language and the creator of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a book about Webster. “He at last brought us together through our language.”
(D)1. Why do Americans spell some words without a “u”?
A. Because the Americans are very lazy.
B. Because the American English developed when people used it.
C. Because the American government reformed the spelling of words.
D. Because a linguist named Noah Webster started the reform in spelling.
(C)2. Which is NOT true about Webster’s dictionary?
A. It has local words in it.
B. It is a 70,000-word dictionary.
C. All the words are spelled without “u”.
D. Its words are in American-style spelling.
(A)3. What does the underlined phrase “rely on” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. 依赖 B. 信任 C. 容忍 D. 放弃
(B)4. What do people think of Webster’s dictionary?
A. It is the only dictionary that Americans still use today.
B. It helped to bring Americans together besides its cultural influence.
C. It has no influence on the development of American English.
D. It helped to make American English more useful than British English.
(D)5. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The development of the British English.
B. American English is better than British English.
C. Noah Webster added local words to the dictionary.
D. Noah Webster wrote an American English dictionary and reformed English.

However, happy times always didn't last long, my friend Larry passed waay. It was a hard hit, but his influence stayed. It helped me not only in music, but on all sides of my life. Whenever I paid attention to what I wanted to do, joy usually took the place of fear.

Duan Jiayang, a 12-year-old student of a primary school in Yinchuan, Ningxia, learns the skills required to take care of vegetable fields.
“I learned how to place the mulch film（地膜）,” he says, “It’s not easy.”
In China, many parents place a heavy focus on their children’s good results, but vocational（职业）skills have little been cared.
“Some parents do everything for their children,” says Yan Mei, an official with the primary school, adding that many students are short of the basic skills needed in their daily lives. For example, Yan says, some parents would do the school’s general cleaning instead of their children.
Since March last year, the governments have launched a lot of policies, requiring that colleges, middle schools and primary schools pay more attention to teaching students practical skills.
Following these policies, the primary school launched an “agricultural（农业的）class base” on one of its schoolyards. Students plant fruit and vegetables on an area of land about 4,000㎡ in size.
In the days coming up to the May Day holiday, students of various grades at the school worked together in the fields, says school principal Yang Bo. They planted watermelon, carrot and corn. May Day, also known as Labor Day, is celebrated on May 1st in China.
The school hopes that students will understand the food is quite precious so that they will better realize the difficulties that their parents went through.

304.（2021•恩施州）短文主要讲了世界各地的政府和企业正在开发智能手机应用程序，以帮助跟踪COVID-19的传播，但一些人担心这些应用程序开发得太快，可能不会保护人们的私人信息。
Governments and businesses worldwide are creating smartphone apps to help track the spread of COVID-19.
Tracking the spread of a disease is an important step in stopping its outbreak（爆发）. By tracking down people who have been in contact with COVID-19 patients, health researchers can warn them, and keep COVID-19 from spreading further. This is called “contact tracing”（接触者追踪）.
As governments remove COVID-19 limits, they’ll need to be able to quickly find and control new outbreaks. Contact tracing will be an important part of the process.
But because COVID-19 spreads so quickly to so many people, it’s almost impossible to trace all contacts with phone calls. That’s why many people hope that digital contact tracing with smartphones will help.
Most contact tracing apps collect information about where people have gone and the people they’ve had contact with. The apps can tell users when one of their recent contacts has been found to have COVID-19. Some systems also tell governments or health care workers.
Now many apps have been developed all over the world. But some people worry the apps are being made too quickly and may not protect people’s private information.
What do you think of this kind of app?

314.(2021·郴州)本文主要讲述了一位老师独自划艇穿过大西洋的故事。
On February 20, 2021, Jasmine Harrison became the youngest woman to row (划艇) alone across the Atlantic Ocean. It took the 21-year-old swimming teacher just over 70 days to do it.
Ms. Harrison, who’s from England, didn’t have much experience in rowing long distances (距离). She got the idea three years ago when she happened to be in Antigua.
There she saw the end of the 2017 Talisket Whisky Atlantic Challenge. “I just thought, I want to do this so I’m going to do it.” she said.
Every year, rowers taking part in the Atlantic Campaign set out from the Canary Islands in December and row about 4,800 kilometers across the Atlantic. Some row in teams of two, three or four. Others, like Ms. Harrison, row by themselves.
It wasn’t easy. Every day, Ms. Harrison would row for about 12 hours. She rowed about 20,000 strokes (划) a day.
Ms. Harrison had a smart phone that allowed her to talk with family and friends every day. She had other company along the way. She saw lots of sea life, including some whales. For several days, she was followed by a small group dolphins (海豚). “I was in their environment,” she said. “It was just amazing.”
There was danger, too. Twice, her boat was turned over in the night by large waves. She hurt her elbow quite badly. Another time, she nearly ran into a ship.
Somehow, she kept going. Finally, on February 20, after 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes, she reached Antigua —the end of the journey. Ms. Harrison’s rowing has made her the youngest woman ever to row alone across the Atlantic. Before, that record was held by Kaitie Spotz from the USA, who crossed the Atlantic was a 22-year-old in 2010.
(B)46. When did Ms. Harrison get the idea of taking part in the Atlantic Campaign?
A. In 2010. B. In 2018. C. In 2021.
(C)47. Ms. Harrison set out from ________ in the Atlantic Campaign.
A. London B. Antigua C. the Canary Islands
(A)48. What does the underlined word “company” probably mean in Chinese?
A. 陪伴 B. 宾客 C. 公司
(B)49. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Ms. Harrison is a 21-year-old animal keeper.
B. Ms. Harrison used a smartphone to talk with family and friends.
C. It was easy and safe for Ms. Harrison to finish her journey.
(C)50. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. The 2021 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.
B. The lovely sea life in the Atlantic Ocean.
C. The youngest woman to row along across the Atlantic.


315.(2021·郴州)这篇文章主要是对语音识别软件的介绍。
Computers, smartphones, and other machines are the perfect servants. They always do what they are “told”. We usually “tell” them to do things by using a mouse or keyboard. But what if we could just talk to them normally and tell them what to do?
This type of technology, known as voice control or voice recognition (识别), has been shown in films and TV shows since the 1960s. The TV show Star Trek showed some spaceships which could reply to human voice commands (命令). The film 2001: A Space Odyssey showed a computer that human astronauts could talk to. It was mainly used to play chess and repair the astronauts’ spaceship.
On the other hand, real-world voice recognition is used for more everyday tasks. For example, Apple and Amazon made two pieces of voice recognition software (软件). They can be asked to do many things, such as setting alarms and playing music and so on.
One of the nice things about voice recognition is that it can be used when we’re on the go. When you’re driving a car or walking down the street, it’s not convenient or even dangerous to pick up your smartphone and type away on the keyboard. Voice recognition allows you to focus on whatever you’re doing at the moment while still doing other tasks.
Speech recognition software is also helpful to deaf people. It can be used to “listen” to spoken words and turn them into text that deaf people can read. Some speech recognition software can even hear words spoken in one language and then translate them into another language.
(C)51. According to Paragraph 1, how do we usually control machines in daily life?
A. By using body language.
B. By talking to them.
C. By using a mouse or keyboard.
(C)52. When was voice recognition first shown in films and TV shows?
A. In the 1980s. B. In the 1970s. C. In the 1960s.
(A)53. How does voice recognition help to keep you safe while driving a car?
A. It helps you to focus on what you are doing.
B. It allows you to type on the keyboard more conveniently.
C. It can control your car for a short while.
(A)54. In the last paragraph, what can we infer about the speech recognition software?
A. It can hear words spoken in English and then translate them into Chinese.
B. It can turn text into spoken words for the blind.
C. It can help you do anything that you want to do.
(B)55. Where do you probably read the passage?
A. In a movie ad. B. In a science magazine. C. In a sports magazine.

Vicuna, a small town in the north of Chile, is a great place for watching stars all year round. Although it is near the sea, the cold, wet air from the coast does not bring clouds. Instead, dry winds from the desert keep the clouds away at night. In fact, the sky is so clear in Vicuna that it is possible to see many stars that can be seen only with advanced（先进的）instruments in other parts of the world.
In Vicuna, distant（遥远的）star systems such as Magellanic Clouds can be seen without the help of an instrument. That is why the town was chosen as the home of a number of sky observatories (天文台). One of them, the Mamalluca, is quite different from the typical observatories used by scientists. This observatory was built for tourists who like to look at the stars. During the year, Vicuna's hotels accommodate thousands of tourists who come from all over the world to see the night sky as they have only seen it in books. The cloudless sky is clearly a moneymaker for the town, which plans to set up even more observatories. It was recently decided that building observatories would go on for another few years.
At one point, however, the town faced a serious problem. As the town grew, more streetlights were added, making it more and more difficult to see the stars at night. The town saved the night sky by building a new system of lights that lit up the streets without influencing the view of the sky.
(C)1. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
   A. Vicuna is a small town far from the ocean
   B. We can see wonderful clouds in the sky over Vicuna.
   C. The sky in Vicuna is clear all year round.
(C)2. What makes the Mamalluca a special observatory in Vicuna?
   A. Its size B. Its location C. It serves tourists
(A)3. What does the underlined word “accommodate” most probably mean in Chinese?
   A.容纳     B. 建议 C.控制
(B)4.Why did Vicuna spend money on a new streetlight system?
   A. The old streetlights used lots of electricity.
   B. The old streetlights made it hard to see the stars at night.
   C. The new streetlights would make streetlights more beautiful.
(B)5. What is the best title for the passage?
   A. Vicuna Has a Problem
   B. A Town to Watch the Stars
   C. Pictures of a Cloudless Sky

333.（2021·盘锦） 双手创造美里的花谷，坚持的意义，
It was a cold, rainy day. My mother and I drove to the mountains. It was dangerous to make the two-hour journey along the highway in such weather. I didn't want to take the risk. But my mother advised that we go to see something at the top of the mountain.
After ten minutes' driving, we stopped the car and got out. Walking along a path, we turned at a corner. Gradually, the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind. From the top of the mountain, I saw several fields full of flowers, shining like a carpet （地毯）before us. It looked as if the sun spilled （播洒）gold down the mountain.
A lot of questions came to my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How?
As we moved on, we saw a sign that read, "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking. "
The first answer was, "One Woman一Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain. " The second was, "One at a Time. " The third, "Started in 1971. "
On our way home, I was so shocked by what we had seen. "She changed the world. One bulb （一株）at a time. She started almost 50 years ago. It was probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it. " I said, "Imagine, if I had a dream and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have achieved?"
My mother looked at me, smiling. "Start tomorrow. " She said, " Better yet, start today. "

334.（2021·盘锦）书籍介绍，《红星照耀中国》
China's Foreign Minister Mr. Wang Yi highly praised Edgar Snow （1905-1972）, a reporter from America on March 7 this year during the National People's Congress in Beijing. He said Snow was always “staying truthful and objective（客观的）and standing by justice （正义） and conscience （良心）
Snow came to China in 1928. He spent over 10 years in China trying to understand its people and showing what he learned to the rest of the world.

Last summer holiday, Aunt Emily took us to a safari park(野生动物园), not far from Liverpool.
I was very happy to go as I had never been to a safari park before. It's a very interesting park, full of wild animals running freely.
When we got there, we bought our tickets and drove into the park. We were very excited at the thought of going to see the lions. But to get to the lion's place we had to go through the monkeys, land first. And that was an experience because they climbed all over the car, ate apples and bananas, and threw all kinds of things at us. They seemed very unfriendly.
Anyway, we went on our way to the lions, place where we had to lock ourselves in the car as we knew lions could be dangerous. A lion came up very close to us. The next thing we knew, it was on the bonnet(车盖). It looked calm but we felt terrified. Aunt Emily, who isn't very brave, started to call for help. The kids started crying. Only my brother, George, stayed cool. I sounded the horn(喇叭)but nobody heard us.
In the end a guard arrived in his car, and the lion just got off our car and started smelling the guard's hand as if nothing was the matter.
(A)49. Which animal did the writer want to see the most?

Chris recently completed a very unusual journey. Our reporter Mary met him at his home in south London and he told her all about the trip.
Reporter: What gave you the idea to travel around India on an elephant, Chris?
Chris: Well, it all started two years ago when I was planning a trip to India. I visited a photographic (摄影的)exhibition of elephants and I realized that the only way to travel around India was on an elephant.
Reporter: What did you do next?
Chris: I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant. I needed an elephant trained to carry people. I didn't know anything about elephants, so I asked an expert for help. He taught me how to ride an elephant. He also helped me find an elephant.
Reporter: How long did it take to find a suitable elephant?
Chris: Not too long. I bought a female elephant called Tara for about USD 6, 000.
Reporter: Can you tell me about the journey?
Chris: Tara and I set off from New Delhi a week later. We were heading to Sonepur in northern India where there is a big elephant market and I could sell Tara easily. And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles an hour and Sonepur was more than 1, 200 km away. It took us 64 days to complete the journey.
Reporter: Did you have any problems on your journey?
Chris: Yes, a few. But nothing serious. On the third day, Tara hurt her foot. But that got better quickly. Also, there was a lot of heavy rain during the first week and we got very wet!
Reporter: What happened when you reached Sonepur?
Chris: My plan was to sell Tara. But by now I was very fond of her. I couldn’t take her back to Britain and I didn’t want to sell her at the market. By chance, I met some people who wanted an elephant for their national park in southern India. I knew that Tara would be safe with them, so I gave her to them. I was very sad to say goodbye.

343. (2021·宜宾)本文主要介绍了每个人都有自己的指纹。指纹能透露个人的生活方式和环境、饮食习惯和可能的健康问题等信息。
Before the discovery of DNA information in the 1980s, fingerprints(指纹) were the easiest way to solve serious crimes. It’s believed that each one of us has our own fingerprint. But did you know that our fingerprints could show a lot about us?
According to The Conversation, fingerprints can show lifestyle and environment, eating habits, possible medical problems and even the job of a person.
So how can we work all this out from just a simple fingerprint?
Well, a fingerprint is formed when a finger touches a surface. Most fingerprints can’t be seen to the eye and require a chemical development process in order to make them shown. Stuck between the raised lines of a fingerprint are things that can tell a story about who we are. Things like sweat, blood and food show a lot of information about us.
Besides, its use could be much wider. For example, it may be helpful in the future to doctors treating their patients. A fingerprint check may also tell a doctor whether a patient is properly having a medicine. In the treatment of some of the most serious illnesses, having proper medicine is important.
In the future, fingerprint science can be used by the police and help doctors keep us in the best possible health.
(A)26. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. DNA can be used to solve serious crimes.
B. Fingerprints may show everything about us.
C. We didn’t begin to use fingerprints until 1980s.
D. Fingerprints are now the easiest way to solve crimes.

26. (2021·玉林)文章讲述了劳动教育的内容。
Students from Taizhou Middle School, Jiangsu Province, experience farming during their labor（劳动）course. As we all know, the life skills like cooking and painting are important and should be taught as part of labor education.
On June 3, 2020, the Ministry of Education （MOE）（教育部） gave a document（文件） showing the revised curriculum（修改后的方案）for senior high schools across the country. Labor education includes housework, school labor and community voluntary（志愿的）services and so on.
“ Labor education must be carried out（实施）with the purpose to make the right view（观点）of the world, life and values and develop an interest in doing chores,” said Vice-Minister of Education Zheng Fuzhi.
According to China Youth Daily, the labor course will take six credits（学分）--- the same as foreign language and physics. Voluntary service, as part of labor education, would take two credits. The MOE also asks schools to make sure 40 hours of voluntary service during the full three school years.
According to Xinhua, adding labor education was out of care that the country's young people do too little housework and that they think labor jobs aren’t important. Because of a lot of school pressure, schools pay more attention to the course of education, and parents may think that the chores waste their kids’ time.
According to a survey, middle school students in China only spend 12 minutes a day on chores, compared with 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France.
However, doing housework does not distract（使分心）young people. Instead, they are necessary for developing a strong working spirit, according to Julie Lythcott-Haims, the writer of How to Raise an Adult. “The earlier you started, the better...”, he said.
(B)1. If you ________, you can get the credits of the labor course.
A. do homework B. do volunteer work
C. go traveling D. learn to drive a car
(C)2. What did Zheng Fuzhi talk about?
A. The time to carry out labor education. B. The way to carry out labor education.
C. The purpose to carry out labor education. D. The place to carry out labor education.
(B)3. Who spend the most time on housework?
A. Students in China. B. Students in America.
C. Students in South Korea. D. Students in France.
(D)4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Parents should learn the life skills.
B. Labor is as important as foreign language.
C. Young people should pay attention to the course of education.
D. It's necessary for the students to develop strong working spirits.


27. (2021·衡阳)文章讲述了不同国家对于真正的成年人的定义。
Some children cannot wait to grow up. Because once you become an adult you are free to make your own decisions. More importantly you can do all those things that you cannot do now because you are too young. So the question is ‘At what age do you really become an adult?' Well ,people become adults at different ages in different places.
In Australia the 18th birthday is a very important event for young Australians because it means they can do almost anything they want. They can vote (选举), learn to drive a car ,get married,join the army and even buy their own houses. Even if they can do all these things, most Australians have to wait until their 21st birthday to really celebrate becoming an adult. This is the traditional adult age in Australia and the USA and the UK.
Even though 21 is the traditional adult age in many English-speaking countries the law nowadays is different in each country. In the UK you can join the army at 16 and even get married at 16 if your parents allow. Young people in the UK can learn to drive a car at 17, although they have to wait until they are 18 to vote.
In China ,you can vote and learn to drive a car when you are 18, but if you want to get married, women have to wait until they are 18 and men until they are 22. Chinese people celebrate important birthdays every 10 years--so when young people turn 20, they can expect a big party!
No matter what age you are, becoming an adult is really about learning how to be independent and responsible（负责任的）. Once you are finally able to take care of yourselves and make your own decisions, then you can say that you are truly all grown-ups.
(B)1. Some children cannot wait to grow up because ________.
A. they hope to drive a car B. they can decide to do things freely C. they can celebrate birthdays
(A)2. The underlined word" adult" means _________.
A. grown-up B. kid C. elder
(A)3. Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A. In the UK, people can drive at 17. B. In China, men can get married at 18. C. In Australia, people can vole at 16.
(C)4. What does the last paragraph tel us?
A. When people celebrate their 18th birthday, they become adults
B. When people turn 20,they should take care of themselves.
C. A true grown-up is independent and responsible.
(B)5. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Why some children can' t wait to grow up.
B. People become adults at different ages in different paces.

28. (2021·衡阳)本文主要讲述了二十四节气。
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms (节气). It starts from the Beginning of Spring and ends with the Greater Cold, moving in cycles. It is still useful today to guide people’s lives through special foods, cultural ceremonies and even healthy living tips.
Grain Buds(小满), the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 21 this year, and ends on June 4. It means that the seeds (种子) from the grain are becoming full. During the Grain Buds, summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time mentions, “A heavy rainfall makes the river full.” Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water. This is a good time to enjoy fish. It is also harvest season for fishermen.
Frost’s Descent(霜降), the 18th solar term of the year, is the last solar term of autumn, during which time the weather becomes much colder than before and frost begins to appear. The apple is one kind of recommended(推荐的) fruit during Frost’s Descent.

Minor Cold (小寒) is the 23rd one. For most areas of China, it marks the start of the coldest days of the year and people always start preparing for New Year. According to traditional Chinese medicine thoughts, people need to eat food that has more yang energy to prevent cold from harming their bodies.

32. (2021·南通)文章介绍有关酒吧举办的智力测试的游戏的情况，包括游戏的起源、规则、好处等。


◆More than 22, 000 pubs(酒馆) have a weekly quiz(智力测试) night. Some people say that the success of modern-day pub quizzes is caused by a board game from the 1980s, called Trivial Pursuit. In the game players had to answer questions about unimportant details. But whatever the reason, pub owners now say they hold quiz nights because quizzers drink like fish, so it is good business for them.
◆In the quiz, the quizmaster reads questions out loud and people answer questions in teams. A lot of the time, people choose funny names for their teams. There are normally several rounds, and a quiz can go on for 2 to 3 hours! Each round can be about a different topic, or questions can be mixed.Topics can be about nature, culture, life, health, food, science, sports, music and more.
◆Many pubs have old names referring to monarchs(君主), such as The King’s Head or The Queen Victoria, but of course this doesn’t mean they are only for kings or queens. Pubs have always welcomed people from all classes and parts of society. In some pubs you can get drinks on the house, meaning they are free. If you’ve paid to be in the quiz, there is usually a surprising prize.
◆More than half of the people in a recent survey on the Internet answered these questions incorrectly: How many countries make up Great Britain? What is the world’s largest desert?
Study! Make sure you know the names of the winners of sporting events, Oscars and TV shows. Also there is need to have a look at the world map. Besides studying, it’s very important to choose your team wisely. Try to have a mix of men and women, and no more than five people. Don’t choose someone who is always completely sure that they’re right, in fact sometimes they’re wrong! Once you’ve got your team together, always trust your first answer, and don’t think about it too much. Make sure that not everyone in your team drinks too much, otherwise the last round is going to get really difficult!

33. (2021·南通)本文介绍了烹饪对人们身体健康和心理健康的好处。
We are what we eat. From high-calorie meals to low-fat lunches, much of our health depends on what we eat. We know about the benefits(益处) of eating fittingly for our physical health, but food, and cooking it, is proving to be good for our mental(心理的) health as well.
Some people are now supporting the therapeutic value of cooking food. It’s not just about the end result but also the experience someone goes through. Dr Mark Salter, a consultant psychiatrist, told the BBC: “Baking and cooking are good therapies. They help patients develop planning skills, short-term memories and social skills—lack(缺乏) of which may lead to mental illness.”
TV chef(大厨) and author Nadiya Hussain agrees that cooking is great for helping our mind. She loves to bake and became the champion of the TV show, The Great British Bake Off. She says that “Baking’s always been about therapy... It’s never really been about the cake.” And she thinks that baking is an important tool for our socialization and mental health.
Certainly, creating some delicious food takes our mind off things and gives us something to do, helping us get through the recent lockdown. People have said that mixing dough(生面团) to make bread, for example, has given them a sense of calm and control. Research has shown that doing creative tasks, like cooking, makes us feel happier. Nicole Farmer, who studies how food influences our biology, behavior and mental health, told BBC online that “Cooking represents the human experience of food, and growing people through food, so there is no doubt it can bring us timely positive feelings.”
Of course, cooking can be a very sociable activity and sharing the end result, a rewarding experience. Hopefully, as we start to mix with friends and family again, we can enjoy the benefits once more and put us all in the right state of mind.
(A)1. What is baking in Nadiya Hussain’s eyes?
A. It’s helpful for our mind. B. It’s a kind ofTV programme.
C. It’s always about the cake. D. It’s a tool for physical health.
(D)2. Creative tasks can help people get through the lockdown because they ________.
A. give people a lasting sense of calm and peace
B. mark the start of the experience of cooking food
C. make people feel more confident and stronger
D. help people take their mind off unhappy things
(C)3. Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A. Dr Mark Salter is a consultant psychiatrist of the BBC.
B. Hussain once got the first prize for her books on baking.
C. The Great British Bake Off is a TV show about cooking.
D. Nicole Farmer is a British scientist who studies biology.
(B)4. What is the article trying to convince(使确信) the reader of?

C. Sharing delicious food with others.
D. Developing our planning skills.


34. (2021·南通)本文主要讲述了为了满足人民群众对高标准产品的需求，需要把农业转向技术，文中列举了袁隆平团队在新疆和黑龙江等盐碱地种植水稻以及云南农民自动化完成所有的工作，更加验证了科学技术在未来将发挥更重要的作用。
In December 2020, “the Super Apple” appeared at supermarkets across China, sweeter and juicier than usual ones, without pesticide residue(农药残留). Before reaching the market, the products had been tested over 500 times. Blockchain(区块链) technology in recording farmers’ actions is widely used to avoid nonstandard pesticide use. Digital technology at the apple storage helps to group apples, which can keep the stability(稳定性) in the quality. “The future of agriculture lies in the modern technology.” Huang Jikun, Professor of the China Centre for Agricultural Policy at Peking University, told Beijing Review.
At China’s Central Rural Work Conference in 2020, President Xi stressed that efforts must be made to increase the quality of agriculture. Xi also pointed out the importance of speeding up technologies.
China’s agriculture has entered a stage of high-quality development, as the country is meeting people’s increasing need for high standard products. So agriculture should turn to technology.
Three years ago, Yuan Longping led a program of planting rice in saline－alkali(盐碱) soil in areas, including Xinjiang and Heilongjiang. Through hybrid technology, Yuan’s team have been able to raise improved rice for saline and alkaline soils. If China could put 6.67 million hectares of saline－alkali soil into rice production, it would be very likely to increase by around 30 million tons, a huge contribution to the country.
In Lushui, Yunnan Province, one can rarely see farmers working on the farm. All common tasks are completed automatically(自动化地). Data(数据) is gathered by the system to improve future production.
“More information and technology centres will be built so that basic data and big data can be improved, and technologies like 5G and the BeiDou Satellite Navigation System can be used in the field.”said Han Fujun, Deputy Chief Engineer of the Information Center of MARA.
Since 2010, the Chinese government has been organizing technology exchanges, training, field trips and other activities for the agricultural technology talents to better understand the situations of each area.
Because of the COVID-19, companies begin to rethink better agricultural models, as more people want to eat healthier foods. Science and technology will play a more important role in the future.
(B)1. Which of the following makes “the Super Apple” sweeter and juicier?
A. The apple storage. B. The modern technology.
C. The product test. D. The record of farmers’ actions.
(D)2. From the passage we know that _______.
A. traditional Chinese agriculture is out of date now
B. farmers will pay less attention to technologies

D. people now need more quality agricultural products
(A)3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Yuan’s program is a huge contribution to China.
B. Farmers are busy collecting the data in Lushui.
C. 5G and BeiDou system are rarely used in the centres.

35. (2021·南通)本文是一位父亲通过自己的亲身经历告诉儿子，成功的秘诀在于永不停止思考一项困难的或无聊的任务，稳步前进，以一个固定的决心成功。
“Have you finished your lesson, George?” said Mr. Prentice to his son, who had laid aside his book and was busy making a large paper kite.
“No, father, ”replied George, hanging down his head.
“Why not, my son?”
“Because it is so difficult father. I am sure that I shall never learn it. Besides, I could not remember it after I had learned it, my memory is so bad.”
“If I were to promise you a holiday on the thirtieth of the month after next, do you think you would forget the date?”
“No, I am pretty sure that I should not.”
“You are first－rate at skating, and flying a kite, and playing at ball and marbles, are you not?”
“Yes father.”
“And yet you cannot learn your lesson! My dear boy, you are deceiving(欺骗) yourself. You can learn as well as anyone, if you will only try.”
“But have I not tried, father?” again urged George.
“Well, try again. Come, for this afternoon lay aside that kite you are making, and give another effort to get your lesson ready. Be in earnest, and you will soon learn it. To show you that it only requires perseverance, I will tell you a story：—
“One of the dullest boys at a village school, more than thirty years ago, went up to repeat his lesson one morning; and, as usual, did not know it. ‘Go to your seat!’ ”said the teacher angrily.
“If you don’t pay more attention to your lessons, you will never be fit for anything.”
“The poor boy stole off to his seat, and bent his eyes again upon his lesson.”
“It is of no use; I cannot learn.” he said in a whisper to a companion who sat near him.
“You must try hard, ”replied the kind-hearted boy.
“I have tried, but it is of no use; I may just as well give up at once.”
“Try again, Henry!” Whispered his companion, in an earnest and encouraging tone.
“These two little words gave him a fresh impulse, and he bent his mind again to his task.”
Gradually he began to find the sentences lingering in his memory; and soon, to his surprise and pleasure, the whole lesson was mastered!
“From that day, ” continued Mr. Prentice, “there was no boy in the school who learned more rapidly than Henry. From that day till the present hour he has been a student; and he now urges his son George to ‘try again’ as he tried. ”
“And was it indeed you, father?” asked his son, eagerly looking up into the face of his kind parent.
“Yes, my child. That dull boy was your own father in his early years.”
“Then I will try again.” said George, in a decided tone; and, flinging aside his half-made kite, he turned and re-entered the house, and was soon bending in earnest attention over his lesson.
“Well, what success, George?” asked Mr. Prentice, as the family gathered around the tea-table.
“I learned the lesson, father!” replied the boy, “I can say every word of it.”
“Did you find it hard work?”
“Not so very hard, after I had once made up my mind that I would learn it. Indeed I never stopped to think, as I usually do, but went right on until I had mastered every sentence.”
“May you never forget this lesson, my son!” said Mr. Prentice, “You now get the secret of success. It lies in never stopping to think about a task being difficult or tiresome, but in going steadily on, with a fixed determination to succeed.”
