Brief Introduction

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG) was acquired by the city of Brooklyn in 1854 along with the land that is Prospect Park.

There are so many gardens on display at the BBG that is honestly hard to keep count of them. There’s the Japanese Hill and Pond Garden, the Osborne Garden, the Shakespeare Garden... you get the point. Each garden that is displayed will be showing off a different group of amazing plants that come m all sorts of colors and sizes. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden offers something for the entire family. They even have a Children’s Garden for the little ones.

Attractions

Japanese Hill and Pond Garden

One of the most frequency visited gardens at BBG, the Japanese Hill and Pond Garden is certainly a favorite among visitors. This garden features a variety of styles as well as beautiful scenery with a viewing pavilion (亭子) and a waterfall. The Shogun Lantern featured in the Japanese Hill and Pond Garden is over 500 years old. It was given to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden as a gift from the city of Tokyo.

Children’s Garden

Children have been planting plants at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden since 1914 and continue their efforts today. Currently, there are over a thousand children contributing to the Children’s Garden.

Kenyan mother Beth Mwende heard her sleeping child cry out, but did not worry after the three-year-old quickly quietened down. The next morning, however, she found her daughter, Mercy, nearly unconscious with two bite marks in the neck. “I didn’t know that it was a snake,” Mwende said.

Although snakebites are common in her hometown, antivenom (抗蛇毒素) medication is difficult to get. Mwende lives about 160 kilometers east of Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. So she took her daughter to a traditional healer. He placed stones over the bites. Mercy died within hours. She was one of about 700 Kenyans killed by snakebites each year, notes a report in the scientific publication Toxicon.

The Kenya Snakebite Research and Intervention Center (KSRIC) is working to change that. The KSRIC hopes to have East Africa’s first antivenom medication on the market within five years. It estimates the cost will be about 30 percent of an imported product, which often sells for about US $ 30.

More than 70, 000 people are bitten in East Africa each year. Climate change and deforestation (砍伐森林) are worsening the problem as snakes get pushed out of natural surroundings into populated areas.

Nearly 100 snakes live at the research center in a forest near Nairobi. Researchers take venom (毒素) from snakes and study it before injecting small amounts into other animals, such as sheep. The animals then create antibodies (抗体) that can be made into antivenom.

“Up to now, no one has made any kind of antivenom in Kenya,’’ said Geoffrey Maranga Kepha, a senior snake handler.

Two effective antivenoms are available in Kenya, from India and Mexico, the center says.

The center is teaching communities that using antivenom immediately after receiving a snakebite can save lives, said head researcher George Adinoh.

“After seeing how people died in Kenya from snakebites I decided to devote my life to coming up with a rescue measure that will help or prevent people from dying from snakebites,” snake handler Kepha added.

4. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?

A. By telling a story.   B. By listing figures.

C. By referririg to documents.  D. By making a comparison.

5. Why did Mwende take her daughter to a traditional healer?

A. She couldn’t afford any modern treatment.

B. She lived where antivenom medication is not available.

C. The traditional way is very effective to treat snakebites.

D. She believed a traditional healer could cure her daughter.

6. What is causing more snakebites to happen in East Africa?

A. Lack of antivenom medication.

B. Environmental damage and climate change.

C. People’s low awareness of the danger of snakes.

D. People’s pursuit of traditional cures for snakebites.

7. What do we know about antivenom in Kenya from the text?

A. It is taken from antibodies of sheep.

B. There is only one effective antivenom available.

C. KSRIC is trying to develop a local antivenom now.

D. People refuse to use antivenom after being bitten by snakes.

C

Scientists have recently discovered that Andean condors (秀鹫)— some of the world’s largest birds——barely flap their wings at all while flying. Instead, they use rising air currents to remain in the air for hours.

The Andean condor is the world’s largest soaring bird. They can weigh up to 15 kilograms. Their wings, when spread out, measure up to three meters. Their main food source is the meat of large animals which have died. Soaring high in the sky allows condors to easily spot possible meals on the ground.

Scientists worked together to study the flight patterns of these huge birds and how much effort the birds use when flying. To study the birds while they were in the sky, the researchers attached special devices which could record every beat of their wings.

The scientists learned that most of the condors’ flapping— over 75%— came when the birds were taking off. Once in the sky, the birds flew for very long periods of time without flapping at all. In fact, they only flapped their wings for 1% of the time they were in the air. One bird flew for over five hours without flapping, covering nearly 117miles.

Soaring without flapping is important because birds bum energy every time they flap their wings.

The birds’ soaring isn’t magic. They use the fact that hot air rises to keep themselves up. As hot air rises, it often creates “thermals”— currents of warm air moving upward. The condors soar by making use of these thermals. The tricky part is finding thermals and moving between them.

When birds are forced to land and take off again often, it costs them a lot of energy. The researchers learned that to avoid having to land, the condors did most of their non-take-off flapping when they were closer to the ground and looking for a new thermal.

The scientists reported that even though all of the condors they studied were young, they knew well how to take advantage of the air currents.

8. What can we learn about the Andean condor from the text?

A. They live mairly on small animals.

B. Their wingspan is at least three meters.

C. They rely on hot air to remain high in the sky.

D. They are the birds with the strongest flying ability.

9. Why was the equipment tied to the birds?

A. To measure how far they could fly without flapping.

B. To keep track of how often they flapped while flying.

C. To calculate the energy required for their flight.

D. To confirm their flight patterns.

10. Which of the following acts consumes the most energy for a condor?

A. Hunting for food.   B. Flying in the sky.

C. Getting off the ground.  D. Landing on the ground.

11. What can we infer from the text?

A. Condors flap the most when looking for a new thermal.

B. No condor can fly for more than five hours without flapping.

C. Condors don’t need to look for thermals when soaring in the sky.

D. Soaring by using thermals is probably a natural ability of condors.

D

TOKYO—Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told the media on Monday if any places hosting events of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics declare a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic during the games, the events will continue to be held but without spectators (观众). With one month to go before the games are due to begin on July 23, Suga is again showing his administration’s determination to hold the Olympic Games as planned, despite s much pressure from various parties urging it to cancel the event.

Although the Japanese government regards the Tokyo Olympics as an important opportunity to improve its soft power, the Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the Games has been continuously dented (挫伤) since they were postponed last year. The resurgence (再猖獗) of the novel coronavirus in some places is Japan in recent months has cast a shadow over people’s confidence that the Olympics will not give rise to new clusters (群) of infections, and there are fears that the Games will provide new channels for the virus’ global transmission.

Some torchbearers from Japan have withdrawn from the Olympic torch relay in the country. And the latest survey indicates only 34 percent of Japanese people support holding the games as scheduled. Predictably, the Suga administration will do all it can to try to ensure the games go ahead. But it remains to be seen whether it can stand the tests of the uncertainties related to epidemic prevention and control that might happen during the Games.

Since it has not yet got the virus under control at home, the people have reasons to question is ability to deal with the prevention and control work when large numbers of participants will be flocking to Japan from around the world in a short time. It is to be hoped that Japan can draw lessons from the organization of epidemic prevention and control work during the ongoing UEFA European Championship, carry out strict epidemic prevention and control measures, and be prepared for emergencies to guarantee the safety and success of the Olympics at this special time.

It should be a common wish of the whole world that the Tokyo Olympics can become a stage showing unity and resolve of human beings in their fight against the virus. That will endow the games with special meaning beyond sports.

12. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. The virus’ global transmission.

B People’ worry about the infections.

C. The resurgence of the novel coronavirus.

D. The benefit of holding the Tokyo Olympics.

13. How do about one third of Japanese people like holding the games as planned?

A. Uncertain.  B. Negative.  C. Approving.  D. Indifferent.

14 Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “endow” in the last paragraph?

A. Compare.  B. Equip.  C. Provide.  D. Charge.

15. What can be the best title for the news report?

A. Japan can ensure Olympics go ahead

B. Olympics big test for Japanese government

C. Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the Games

D. Japan to carry out strict epidemic prevention during the Games

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Renee says, “After seeing that my friend wrote her own English songs, I am eager to write one, too. But I am a senior now.    16    Some friends are persuading me to give up and concentrate on my studies. Should I take their advice or do what I really want? What should I do?”

I am glad to read about her passion for music. Playing music is my favorite hobby and I have many thoughts about her problem.

First, don’t cut into study time to write a song. Songwriting can be difficult, especially in a foreign language. Instead, wait for school holidays.    17    A possible topic could be “delayed passion”. I think many people can relate to (与……有关) that, I sure can!

In the meantime, if she has a good idea, then write it down and save it for the holiday.

Now, she has been inspired by her friend to take up a challenge. This is great. Arts flourish (蓬勃发展) with friendly competition, but be careful.

   18    One quit his job and tours the world with an accordion (手风琴). Sometimes I think that I must be like them. I put pressure on myself to write songs, then I am disappointed with my results. In that process, I forget what I love about making music. Instead, I become angry at myself. But songwriting is different from writing stories and articles.    19  

So she shouldn’t judge herself by the standard her friend has set. Instead, write a song to please herself and enjoy the process. Learn from it.    20  

We would love to hear a song she writes in English. She can send in whatever she comes up with.

A. She can turn to some musicians for help.

B. Then she can give it her full attention.

C. And she can share it with others if she wants to.

D. Many of my friends are songwriters and performers.

E. It requires different skills, and I haven’t mastered them.

F. Singing a song also helps activate the creative side of their brain.

G. I am buried in so many piles of work that I can hardly spare any time to write.

The day my kitchen cupboard tried to kill me began like any other day. I had just walked downstairs to start a cup of coffee when I heard a sudden loud noise. Then, as some instinct (本能) kicked in and I backed into the kitchen —I was still half    21   — the cupboard door right above my coffeemaker opened, and my entire collection of cups    22   . They landed inches from my completely    23    feet.

It is always    24    when one’s cupboard is in a mess. Fortunately, the    25    was simple: the plastic nails holding up the adjustable shelves had suddenly failed,    26    the shelves to fall. So I decided to buy replacements immediately. When I arrived at the store, the clerk said he’d heard my story before.    27   , some plastic nails weaken over time and need to be repaired every decade or so,    28    they suddenly retire. I purchased metal replacements for every plastic shelf nail in the house

That evening, as I    29    the new nails, I reflected that I had learned a valuable lesson fairly cheaply. No one had been hurt, and I hadn’t really lost much —all my plates and    30    equipment had been in other cupboards. But every coffee cup I owned,    31    one small teacup that had been in my dishwasher, was lost. What was I to do?

I needn’t have worried. Coffee cups, as it turns out, are something of which everyone has extras. My friends had them all, and so did their friends. And every one of them was    32    willing to share their extra cups with me. In no    33   , my newly repaired cupboard was filled with cups in all shapes and sizes. Though some of them were completely different from what I would have chosen for    34   , I fell in love with all of them. My once boring cupboard was transformed into a rainbow of human    35   .

21. A. upset  B. tired  C. sick  D. asleep

22. A. gave away  B. cut in  C. spilled out  D. turned up

23. A. bare  B. painful  C. injured  D. swollen

24. A. disturbing  B. frightening  C. surprising  D. thrilling

25. A. prediction  B. explanation  C. route  D. practice

26. A. reminding  B. allowing  C. persuading  D. warning

27. A. Significantly  B. Amazingly  C. Originally  D. Apparently

28. A. as if  B. in case  C. even though  D. ever since

29. A. bent  B. straightened  C. fixed  D. made

30. A. cleaning  B. steaming  C. roasting  D. cooking

31. A. owing to  B. along with  C. except for  D. regardless of

32. A. rather than  B. more than  C. less than  D. other than

33. A. sense  B. way  C. mood  D. time

34. A. itself  B. herself  C. myself  D. himself

35. A. suffering  B. talent  C. experience  D. origin

第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

My first China interaction was in 2012, when I came here with a friend. We traveled from Beijing to Hong Kong, within 5 weeks. We expected    36    (see) more of China. After the experience of traveling across Chita and    37    (eat) local food, I really wondered, “How did I live without eating dumplings and eggplants    38    a weekly basis?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 22 years!

With my Chinese improving during my studies, I became more    39    (independence) and more aware of the possibilities of Waimai, or food home delivery. On deep, dark Beijing winter days and rainy days, Waimai is so precious and as I enjoyed my take-away dumplings, I would think and laugh at    40    (I), “How did I live before without being able to get Waimai?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 23 years!

In mid-2015, I was back in China again for my master’s degree. That’s when I came across my first Mobike, “Oh, that’s a unique bike and surely it    41    (steal) soon,” I thought as I passed on my own black bike.    42    one week passed and I saw it still there. Then the one Mobike sighting turned into two and three, and soon thousands and then seemingly overnight the streets of Beijing were flooded with orange and yellow wheels. Again, I wondered on how I ever lived without my shared bike account. Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 25 years!

China today it a country still steeped in (洋溢着) ancient knowledge and custom, yet one    43    is also bursting with new ideas and changes. Although some things will always stay the same (理解), something else is    44    (constant) changing at a pace beyond comprehension. I’m sure as I continue my life here in Beijing, I will be swept up in the next new convenience of life that China’s rapid    45    (develop) is bringing out.

第二节（满分25分）

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I was touched through experiences, memories, books, stories, animals, angels, and most of all other people. People have moved me and molded (塑造) me with moments of love and examples of kindness.

One time on the day before Christmas many years ago when I was a minimum wage mill worker, I found myself with very little money and very little time to buy my small children a few simple toys. I knew that they would have to be cheap ones and I hoped my children would like them. I hated not having enough to give them more. I hated being poor. And I hated feeling bad at Christmas rather than happy.

I pulled into a store parking lot and counted my money again. It wasn’t much but maybe I could get something small with it. As I was getting out of the car, I noticed the Salvation Army bell ringer (撞钟人) at the entrance. I felt bad again because I didn’t feel I could spare anything to give him. I started walking towards the entrance when two cars pulled into empty parking spots in front of me. The first was a shiny, new Cadillac (凯迪拉克) and I felt kind of jealous when I saw it. “How nice,’’ I thought. “It needs enough money to buy a car like that.” The second car, though, was an ancient sedan more beat-up (破旧的) and rusty than the one I was driving.

A man hopped out of the Cadillac and hurried into the store right past the bell ringer without a second glance. Out of the old sedan came a young mother with three small children in tow (紧跟着). Her clothes looked as worn out as her car, yet she stopped in front of the bell ringer, smiled, opened her purse, and dropped a bill in his red kettle.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I stood there for a minute in astonishment. _________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In that second a warmth touched me, my envy and hate left me, and all the love and joy that are Christmas filled me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________

第一节

Dear Brooke,

I am writing to tell you that I took the English Speech Contest held in my school yesterday. As the only one from my class, I had to challenge the other 15 excellent participants selected from the whole school. When it was time for me to give the speech, I got a little bit nervous at first, but soon I calmed down at the thought of your words and suggestions.

As you predicted, everything went smoothly and I performed perfectly. Although the question-and-answer section was the most challenging, I managed to get through it properly with the techniques you taught me. When the judge announced the result, I wasn’t at all surprised but quite excited! I got the first prize in the contest. Thank you very much for your unselfish and careful help.

I’m looking forward to your return to China. I’d like to show you the contest video.

Yours,

Li Hua

I stood there for a minute in astonishment. “Maybe,” I thought to myself, “it’s better to be rich on the inside instead of the outside.” That rich man should have done something to help the poor, but he didn’t. Sometimes it was really wrong to judge a person by his or her appearance. I really had respect for the poor mother from the bottom of my heart. She set a good example for her children to follow.

In that second a warmth touched me, my envy and hate left me, and all the love and joy that are Christmas filled me. I fished a bill out of my own purse, dropped it in the Salvation Army kettle, and wished the bell ringer a merry Christmas. I found a few fun things to give my kids and drove home with my heart singing. I knew it was going to be a wonderful Christmas. I could hardly wait to see my children enjoying the presents bought for them, including a special gift —love for those in need.
